A/N: I do not own Fruits Basket, Lord of the Rings, or any of the awesome characters in the books, I hope you like this story and please read and review.

…..At Hospital Who's Name I Don't Know…..

…..Normal POV…..

Hatori walked down the hall towards Hana's room with Kisa, Rin, and Ayame walking next to him. They had heard about Hana and came down with him; Kisa out of worry, Rin out of boredom, and Aya because he wanted to see Shigure.

As they neared the door to Hana's room Kisa asked, "What exactly happened to Onee-chan's* friend?"

"I don't know yet," Hatori answered wearily, "that is why I am here, to see why she is in the coma and to see if I can help her come out of it."

"Do you think it has anything to do with our so called relatives that Haru told me about?" Rin asked.

"What so called relatives?" Aya asked as he opened the door to the room only to find just Hana laying on the bed as if in a deep sleep.

Rin sighed before she launched into the explanation, "When Haru and Momiji went to school today there were 5 new kids there. 4 of them were really short and all had curly hair while the other was somewhat tall with long blond hair. One of them also knows about the Sohma curse, Yuki told Haru and Momiji; I think it was the Frodo kid who knew. When asked where they came from either them or Yuki said that they were distant relatives of ours from America."

"That's untrue; we have no relatives in America except for when Momiji's father has to go there on business." Hatori said as he took Hana's pulse.

Suddenly the door burst open and Uo ran into the room yelling, "I knew it! I KNEW IT!"

She stopped at the foot of Hana's bed and looked directly at Hatori.

After a small awkward silence Hatori asked, "You knew what?"

"I knew that that Legolas, Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin, guys weren't Sohmas!" She yelled.

The door opened and Gandalf walked in directly after she said this, "This is an unfortunate turn of events." Was all he said.

…..Three hours later…..

…..Still at Hospital whose name I still don't know…..

…..Aya's POV…..

"Shigure, I love you more than anything. You know that. I thought we could tell each other everything that we even thought of; so why did you keep this a secret from me?" Was all I could say after everyone finished explaining everything that they could. In the end everyone outside this 'Fellowship' was given the life story and the whole story of how the Fellowship saved Middle Earth from the brink of ruin and all the way up to the point of when they came to the hospital to get Merry and Pippin.

"Aya, my love, I would not have kept this a secret from you if I would had known if you would have believed me or not. I did not even know the full story until today when the Fellowship explained it all."

"I would have believed you no matter what. You know that darling. If you had just been honest with me then I would have helped you with finding them a way home." Was my response.

"I should have known better than to try to keep a secret from you lovely."

"Shigu—" I started but was cut off by Yuki.

"Nii-san**, shut up." Was all he said as he stood up and walked back into Hana's room.

I sighed as he left and turned back to Shigure who only gave me a sad smile that said I have no idea what to do with him either so we will have to wait this out.

I turned to the strangers and just looked at them in the same curious way they had been looking at me and Shigure only just a few minutes ago. Right as I turned to Kyo to ask him why they were still here, Kisa came back out of Hana's room where Tohru, Hatori, Uo, and Yuki were.

"What happened to Hana-sama? Onee-chan is still in tears and can't say a word." She said as she came and sat down between Rin and Kyo.

"We don't know," Shigure answered, "that is why Hatori is here."

"It might be my fault." Legolas said suddenly.

"Why would you say that Master Elf?" Gimli asked impatiently. After we had learned the whole story behind their arrival here I suppose he would 'drop the charade' of acting human and not dwarf by using his normal way of talking.

"Because," he started, "I think she somehow sensed something from me that somehow…sent her into the coma. Before she fainted in Archery she was listing off all the emotions I was feeling at the time and then right before she fainted she looked at me and said 'You're not human'. It was like she knew I was an elf and not from this world…" his voice trailed off as he looked at the door to Hana's room.

"It was not your fault my friend," Aragorn said as he laid a hand on Legolas's shoulder.

"Then explain to me why I feel so guilty."

"I'm afraid your guilt will have to wait until another time," Gandalf said suddenly, "it is now the least of our worries. I'm afraid I now know why none of the spells I have cast are working."

A sudden thought popped into my mind.

"Your magic isn't working because you are around Sohmas?" I asked before I knew what I had done.

"IDIOT!" Kyo yelled as he jumped up and tried to run to me, to beat me to a pulp was all I could imagine he might do if anyone here would let him.

At the same time he jumped up Rin, Aragorn, Merry, Pippin, Sam, Frodo, Shigure, Gimli, and Legolas also stood up and stepped forward to stop him. Rin grabbed him from behind and Legolas easily got some kind of hidden knife up against his throat. Seeing this Kyo stopped struggling, but he did shake off Rin and sat back down, but he didn't stop glaring daggers at me.

"Why in the world would my powers have left me just because I was around Sohmas?" Gandalf said, looking at me quite curiously.

"Because of the Sohma cur—" Frodo started but didn't finish because Rin had tackled him to the ground and then they both disappeared in a puff of smoke.

As the cloud of smoke cleared a gasp came from the whole Fellowship as they took in the sight of Rin's clothes on the floor and Frodo lying on top of a pure black horse who had a very long mane.

"What happened?" Gimli yelled as he raced over to Frodo and dragged him off of the horse.

"Gimli! It's ok! That horse is Rin!" Frodo yelled as he struggled in Gimli's grasp.

A shocked look over came everyone in the Fellowship's faces except Frodo's.

I leaned in to Shigure's ear and whispered, "I'm going to go check on Haa-san while you all explain this to everyone else."

"Wimp." was all that he whispered back, but he didn't stop me from leaving.

I walked over to Hana's room as Shigure tried to explain about the Sohma curse. Usually I would have stayed and helped him explain it; I would have given anything to talk about the Sohma curse with someone outside the family, but now that Honda-san knew that took care of that problem.

I walked into Hana's room and went to Hatori's side. I glanced at Tohru, Uo, and Yuki who were in the corner of the room. Tohru was indeed in tears while Yuki and Uo talked in hushed voices and tried to comfort her.

"How is she?" I said as I looked back at Hatori, dropping my voice so that I wouldn't be overheard by the others.

"I honestly don't know," Haa-san said (the very first time he had ever said that), "Her blood pressure and pulse are normal. The tests say that she wasn't taking drugs or alcohol and that she was perfectly hydrated. The MRI showed that there was no tumor that could of caused this and no one was able to find a blood clot anywhere in her system. She is not suffering from any STD's, genetic diseases, or even the flu! There is no medical explanation of why she is in this coma. She is perfectly healthy and for some reason she just won't wake up."

Hatori sighed. I had never seen him like this in all the years I had known him…and that was his whole life.

"As fascinating as all this doctor talk is," I said as I tried to somehow lighten the mood, "I mean how is she?"

Hatori looked at me with a puzzled look on his face. "I just said that she was perfectly healthy. All the tests came back normal. It is just as if she is in a deep sleep but you can't just shake her until she wakes up; she is going to have to wake up on her own."

"No, I mean has the magic done anything to her?" I said, stressing the word magic. I figured that if he got the meaning I would mean the Sohma curse while the other people in the room would probably think that I was talking about the magic that our visitors brought if they even overheard.

They did…or at least Tohru did.

Before Hatori could respond she jumped up and did something entirely un-Tohru. She yelled.

"THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING TO HANA-CHAN! THEY WOULD NEVER HARM HER IN THE WORLD! WHY IS EVERYONE HERE SO FOCUSED ON BLAMING THEM FOR EVERY SINGLE THING THAT GOES WRONG?"

With that she ran into the other room with all of us following her. She got to the entry with all of us right behind her. Almost everyone in the other room was sitting down except for Legolas who was leaning against the wall about 1 ½ feet away from the door. As soon as she looked around the room, Tohru burst into tears again and then Legolas came up, walked her away from the doorway so that we could get in, and just hugged her and let her cry in his arms.

Kyo took one look at that and stalked out of the room, going to who knows where.

"They know everything now," Shigure said as Hatori sat down next to him, "and Gandalf told us the real reason of why he can't do any magic."

"What would that be?" Yuki asked.

Gandalf looked around at everyone before saying, "I can't use any magic here because the only magic that exists in this world and ever will exist in this world will be the Sohma curse. My magic will never work here because it wasn't meant to exist here." As he finished speaking his gaze wandered over to the horse in the corner of the room and nobody spoke until:

"Well isn't that unfortunate?" a cold new voice said.

Everyone turned to the doorway to see…

A/N: …and a cliff hanger! Lol sorry, couldn't resist with this cliff hanger and about the whole Gandalf not having any magic thing, I meant to bring that up in earlier chapters but forgot. So just so you know that is why he has not done any magic since the first chapter. Anyway hope you all liked this chapter and please read and review!
