I do not own

Kagome had grown worried for Legolas mother. The Elves were the best healers she knew beside Thomas the head healer in Lake-town. What kind of illness could it be that the elves themselves couldn't heal?

They finally reach the elven kingdom and the two dismounted and went inside. When they made in the throne room she saw the elf king Thranduil pacing back and forth. Since she never saw the king panic before so she knew it was serious. Thranduil stopped his pacing when she saw his son with the priestess Kagome. When they reached they approached the king they bowed.

"I'm sorry for the delay father, I have brought Kagome as you requested." Legolas said

"We'll discuss that later. You may raise Kagome." Thranduil said and Kagome stood up straight from bowing.

She had learned long ago from Sesshomaru that she must always show respect to the royals.

"How is she Lord Thranduil?" She asked

"Each day she grows weaker." He said as he shows her to the healing room.

"When did it happen?" She asked

"Two days ago. I had grown worried when none of our healing was able to cure her." He said

When they reached to the healing room two guards opened the doors for them. Inside Kagome saw Queen Aurora lying in bed extremely pale and had purple patches on her left side of her face and body. She recognized it right away. It was miasma and a strong one at that.

"Where was she when this started?" She asked

"She was outside the wall when we found her. We sensed a dark aura near our boarders." Legolas said "When we went to kill it we found her like this."

"Do you know what this is Kagome?" Thranduil asked

"I have seen it before but never this bad. It is a poison known as miasma. Demons with great amount of power could only create it." She said as she prepared herself to purify the miasma within the queen. "I must purify it before it gets any worse. I'm surprise she lasted this long."

She had asked everyone to leave so she could heal. Only the king and Legolas stayed and she didn't mind as long they don't get in her way. She hover her hands over the queens' body and closed her eyes to concentrate on her powers. When her eyes open they glowed pink, as did her hands. The miasma had already spread through half of her body so it was going to take a lot of her powers to destroy it. It took so much that the whole room had glowed pink and that Legolas and Thranduil had to shield their eyes. The light had finally died down and the two opened their eyes and saw their queen healed. When the queen opened her eyes the Thranduil rushed over to her quickly and Legolas went to catch Kagome when she was about to fall from exhaustion.

"My love." Thranduil said kissing his wife's hands. "I was worried that I might have lost you."

"My beloved." She said kissing him. Then she looked at her other side and saw her son and Kagome.

When Kagome told Legolas that she was fine he went over to hug his mother.

"Mother, I'm glad you are okay." He said

"As am I, my son." She said and looked up at the priestess. "I thank you Lady Kagome for saving my life."

Kagome smiled and bowed to the queen.

"Think nothing of it your highness. It is my duty a priestess to save others." She said

Then she sensed something. A familiar dark aura. The elves must have felt it too because the queen clench tight to her husband as recognized it.

"It's that beast again." Legolas hissed

"It is far from our boarders. Why is it letting out its aura like that?" Thranduil said and eyed Kagome as he notice her dark expression and clench fist. "You know who it is. Don't you Kagome."

"Someone who I thought had died." She said while walking out. 'This time I'll make sure of it.'

Sensing what she was thinking Legolas hurried after her. She was already at the doors of the elven gate Legolas finally caught up to her.

"You're not going after it alone." He said

"This is my task alone. I lost friends and good people because of him, I'm not letting it happen again." She said

"You use too much of your powers you'll be too weak to face him in your state." He said taking her hand and turned her to face him. "Please, rest and let us handle it."

"It beyond your boarders and heading towards the lonely mountain." She told him. "Your father will never aloud you to go or follow. I know this baster well and I fear what will happen if he meets Smaug."

"She is right Legolas." Thranduil said, who walking their way.

"Father, after what she has done for mother you can't let her go alone." Legolas said

"Of course I wouldn't" Thranduil said "But what I want to know is why he wants Smuag. It troubles me." Then he looked at Kagome with a serious look. "And what that being has done to my wife can't be looked away."

"I will be revenge my lord, I promise." She said

With that said Thranduil had given Kagome his fastest horse to reach the lonely mountain. She followed the direction of the dark aura and it led her to the ruins of Dale. When she reached to the middle of the city the dark aura disappeared. She narrowed her eyes and knew he was using a barrier to hide his aura like always.

"Why all the sudden are you hidden!" She called out. "You poison the elf queen let out your aura so you could tell me that you were here and live. Are you weak or are you still just a coward that can't fight on his own like always. Naraku!"

Smaug felt the great amount of pure power coming from the elven kingdom in his sleep. He knew it was from the beauty he saw the other day but woke him up was the foul dark aura that risen after it. It was close to his mountain. Normally he will wait until they come into his lair before he destroys them. But something about this being he didn't like and wanted to disposed of it before it enters his mountain. He got out of his hoard of gold and flew outside and landed on top of the mountain. With his eyes on the lookout he saw something moving in the ruins of Dale. Something in a strange white fur cloak. It didn't smell like an Orc or goblin but it had a dark aura surrounding it. Then he saw his blue sapphire beauty on a horse heading towards the strange being. Wanting to get a better view without being seen he transform himself into his human form. He was tall, his eyes were still the same and had long black hair and wore armor that was as strong as scales. He had a couple of tattoos that looked like scales on his person, had four horns on his head and still had his wings. When he finished he used his quick speed and headed towards the ruins. He arrived at the same time as Kagome and hid behind a building where he had a good view of the beauty. He heard her call out someone name Naraku and the sounded familiar. Then remembered it was the half demon name from her story. When she finished calling the demon out there was dark chuckled that could be heard throughout the ruins.

"My, my, my. It has been a long time hasn't it Lady Kagome, Priestess of the Shikon Jewel."

A figure in a white baboon cloak appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the ruins. The baboon lifted its head and what looked like a man but Smaug could smell the demon scent on him.

Just by the boarders of Mirkwood Legolas looked over to lonely mountain to watch out for Kagome. He lost sight of her when she entered the ruins of Dale. He sighed. He wanted to go after her but he couldn't disobey his fathers' orders. Tauriel was on edge too. She knew Kagome could handle herself but against a dragon she was not sure of. They were brought out of their thoughts when they heard footing of a horse heading their way. Legolas narrowed his eyes when he saw it was Bard on the horse.

"Good day your highness, Tauriel. My children told me that Kagome was here, I hope she didn't cause any trouble. I'm here to bring her back home." Bard asked

The two elves didn't know how to tell him about where Kagome had gone to and Bard saw the look in their eyes and he started to worry.

"Where's Kagome?" He said in light demand tone.

"She after the dark creature that attack our queen." Tauriel said "It was heading towards the lonely mountain and she followed it. We lost sight of her when she entered the ruins of Dale."

"And you let her go there on her own!" Bard yelled

He knew he shouldn't yelled at the elf prince but hearing that Kagome was heading to the Lonely Mountain made his heart ached and filled with anger with the elves for leaving her alone. Not waiting for them to answer he turned his horse around and raced off towards the mountain. Legolas hated himself for not doing what Bard did and go after Kagome. He clenched his fist and mounted on his horse.

"Where are you going?" Tauriel asked

She was a little shocked at Legolas actions.

"I'm not going to be out done by that human." He said and raced off in the same direction where Bard went.

Tauriel smirked in amusement at the princes' action. Not wanting to be left behind she too got on her horse and followed them.
