As Link led the group of students through the market, a man who Link guessed to be their chaperone ran up next to him.
"Is there something I can help you with sir?" Link asked.

Terada-sensei cleared his throat. "Well, I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Terada Yoshiyuki, and these are my fifth graders. I'm very pleased to meet you." He held out his hand. "That's a very interesting outfit you're wearing, sir. Is that traditional garb here?"
((I have NO idea how to spell his first name xD))

"I'm Link, it's good to meet you Mr. Terada. This clothing was made by the Kokiri, the Kokiri live in the forest, hence the green coloration. You'll get to meet the Kokiri later." Link was a little preoccupied with the glares he was getting from the magical boy. What could he possibly have against me? He probably doesn't trust me, I'll have to talk to him later. "I hope you enjoy your stay Mr. Terada. Also, you should try out some of the cakes here, they're quite good." Link thought he heard a noise and turned to look. All he saw was the students one of which was rummaging through her bag. Normally Link would have dismissed this, but this was the girl who had a magical aura. He would have to investigate that as well.

At the mention of food, Kero aroused inside Sakura's big and started banging his head into its sides, struggling to escape the confines. "I want cakkkeeesss..."
"Kero-chan!" Sakura cried, pushing him back down as quietly as she possibly could. "You can't DO that! What if someone sees you?" She caught the eyes of Link, who gave her a suspicious look. She laughed nervously and gave him a look she hoped resembled a smile.
"That's very interesting," Terada-sensei was telling Link. "I can't wait to meet them. And cakes, hmm? We should go to a cafe or something later..."
"YES!" shouted Kero. Sakura gave him a particularly violent shove.

After what felt like longer than usual, Link led his group onto castle grounds. Zelda had gotten there before them and was standing in the courtyard flanked by guards.
"Hello everyone, I am Zelda, Princess of Hyrule, thank you for visiting our country. Hopefully you will find it to be full of entertaining and enriching experiences. Link has explored more of Hyrule than anyone else, and there's no one better to guide you. You will be visiting many unique places, many of which have rich cultures all their own. At the end of your stay, we here at Hyrule castle have planned a special meal that will feature food from all over the country. You will get to sample these foods during your tour, so you will be able to have your favorite choice at the party. Link, please take our guests to the inn."
Link (who had been thinking about when they were going to get to the ranch) shook his head slightly and glanced around.
"Right, the inn is an Kakariko Village, so we should get going. This way please." He would talk to the magical children at the inn.

"We get to sample foods?" asked Kero, but softly enough that Sakura wouldn't hit him again. His mouth was watering already!
The students gathered their things and followed after Link, talking amongst themselves about how exciting it was to be in a different country. Syaoran kept his eyes on Link at all times. He couldn't help noticing the strange green garb, so similar to the ceremonial robes that he wore while capturing Clow Cards. Did Link know about the Clow Cards somehow? Sakura HAD said that Clow had been to Hyrule...
Maybe he was reading too much into this, but he'd been trained very carefully never to relax, never to assume that things were all right.
"Syaoran-kun!"
"AUGGHHH!" Sakura had crept up behind him without his knowing, and he yelped in horror until he realized who it was. "Oh, um, Sakura... it's you."
Sakura never once flinched, never wavered from her position. "Syaoran-kun, let's walk to the inn together!"
Syaoran blushed deep crimson. "Okay..."
"You seem so serious," Sakura giggled. "Relax! Have some fun!" She held out her hand.
He took it. Oh, god.

As the group arrived at the inn, Link breathed a deep sigh of relief to see Anju standing at the door. Anju loved children and she knew that Link was easily exhausted by them.
"Well everyone, this is Anju, the innkeeper, she'll show you to your rooms. We'll meet for dinner at 6:30. So yau have same time to unpack."
As the students walked in, Link discreetly pulled aside the two magical ones. The girl appeared confused, but the boy was giving him a death glare.
"So, let's get down to business, what kind of magic do you have, what's in the backpack, and what do you use you magic for?"

Sakura gaped. She didn't understand... how could he have known? "How... how do you know we have magic?" asked Sakura defensively.
"Isn't it obvious?" spat Syaoran, but his anger was directed at Link, not at Sakura. She looked to him with wide eyes. "HE has magic too."
"Oh," squeaked Sakura. Before she even had time to gain her composure after this news, her bag gave a huge lurch, and a little yellow lion tumbling out. "KERO-CHAN!"
"He knew I was here," Kero said seriously, glaring at Link with the intensity of Syaoran. "What's YOUR magic, kid?"
Sakura didn't quite know what to do. She liked Link, but she didn't know if she could trust him now, based on Kero and Syaoran's behavior. On the other hand, their attitudes towards him seemed quite a bit rude.

Link took a few mental deep breaths to prevent himself from snapping at the rude boy.
"I am known by some as The Hero of Time, I'm also the bearer of the Triforce of Courage." He held up his hand to show them the glowing triangles. "I defeated Ganandorf and saved Hyrule, so if you fight for good, then everything should be fine. In fact, maybe we could learn something from each other, like how to be more trusting." he looked directly at the glaring boy as he said this. "As for the plush toy--

"WHAT did you call me?!" Sakura would have warned Link not to say it, but now it was far too late. In a state of blind fury, Kero flew forward and clamped his sharp little teeth around Link's finger.
Syaoran stood next to them complacently. He didn't much like either Kero OR Link, and didn't know whose side to pick in the fight. Certainly he pitied Link, as the same set of actions had befallen him when he had first met Kero. But then again, Link was a mysterious magician who could be secretly trying to kill him and Sakura this very moment. He decided not to interfere.
"Kero-chan!" Sakura cried out in horror. She lunged forward, trying in vain to grab ahold of the tip of Kero's tail. "I'm so sorry, Link-san," Sakura sputtered. "Kero-chan hates being called a stuffed toy."

Link was annoyed that he had been bitten, but he'd had much worse in the past. "Sorry, Kero, was it? Okay, well, I suppose that you aren't what you appear to be, I seriously doubt that any respectable magician would make that your true form. So, tell me, what are your names? Also, what kind of magic do you use? I've been taking lessons for a while and it involves a lot of reading, so I might know a thing or two about it."

"It's not Kero," Kero told Link indignantly, before the others could say a word. "My name is Cerberus, guardian beast of the seal! Yeah, this isn't my true form; Clow knew better than that. My true form is super-cool!" he bragged. "This is the aweosmetastic Master of the Cards Clow'd left, in all her glory--"
"Kero-chan." Sakura sighed and shook her head, taking over introductions after her abruptly shut up. "I'm Kinomoto Sakura, and this is Li Syaoran-kun." She looked dutifully at Link. "I'm new the Master of the Clow, which are these magical Cards made by Clow Reed-san. He's, um, a magician who lived a long time ago--"
"THE greatest magician to date!" Kero proclaimed proudly.
"Yeah, that." Sakura was embarrassed by Kero, but she gave Link one of her famous warm smiles. "Syaoran-kun is from Hong Kong, but he came to Japan to look for the Clow Cards. He helps me out a lot."
To his annoyance, Syaoran's face turned red at this comment. "I... I captured some of the Cards too," he told Link. It was against his better judgement, but how could he refuse when Sakura had just informed their guide of practically everything? "And I have the strongest magic in my family, the Li Clan of China. Clow Reed is our ancestor... you've heard of us, right?" Searching Link's eyes, he couldn't tell if he had or not. "I can do Chinese magic," he went on. "I can make wind or fire with my sword. That kind of thing."
((sakura sure says kero-chan a lot in this rp... xD))

"Hmm, Clow Reed... yes, I do remember reading about him, a great magician. I do believe that your clan was mentioned as one of the two branches that exist. If either of you needs anything magic related during your stay, I'm your guy. Did you soy your name was Kinomoto? A young man with that same name got a job at the inn yesterday. His first name was... Toya, I think. You wouldn't happen to know him, would you?"

Sakura had opened her mouth to thank him when she heard her Oniichan's name come out of Link's mouth. This couldn't be the same Toya, could it...? But then, wasn't Kinomoto a distinctly Japanese name? And Toya HAD said that he was getting a job in Hyrule. But at the inn she was staying at? That was just too weird. "Toya? H-hai, I know him," Sakura said shakily. "He's my Oniichan... my big brother."
Syaoran's eyes burned at the mention of Toya's name. The fact that the two hated each other was common knowledge by all that knew him. Syaoran was going to have trouble sleeping at night, what with Kero and Link and Toya all in the same building as he was. Could this arrangement possibly get any worse?

"Your brother? Well that's a big coincidence. You two should head to your rooms, you should have just enough time to unpack before dinner." As the two started to head towards the door, Link grabbed Syaoran's shoulder and bent down next to his ear. "She likes you, go for it." And with that' he walked off towards the restaurant to make last minute arrangements.
