Chapter Five
Legolas looked over at the blue haired girl for the tenth time of the day. The girl was unusually silent. Not once did she talk with the others except for the Hobbits. However even with them, her answers were short and final. He could see how worried Frodo was over the girl. Something tells him that the young ring bearer felt guilty for having her here with them. Frodo even talked this over with Gandalf who looked over at the girl and merely said that she just needed time. However, time for what? He sighed and then turned his attention in walking.
Mei was lost in her own thoughts. Her mind kept on thinking about the conversation between her and Arwen.
~FLASH BACK~
"So, what did ya want to talk to me about?" Mei asked cheerfully. Arwen was silent before she faced the human.
"Why did you refuse the Fellowship?" Mei was quiet then. Arwen studied the girl and then she felt her whole body tense as she noticed how the human's eyes were narrowed and that her posture was now more dangerous.
"Why didn't you offer?" Arwen blinked at that. That was something that she was not expecting.
"My father would not let me and my people would need me." Mei gave a shrug at that.
"I don't want to be a part of something that holds little meaning for me." Arwen then glared at the girl.
"How can you say such a thing? Our entire world is depending on that destruction of the ring and you care nothing for it!"
"Why the hell should I? And this is not my world! My world doesn't have any elves or Hobbits! My world is where my family is, where my friends are, where I belong! This isn't my world! This is just a place where the people here are begging for someone foolish enough to take up on a quest that they have no idea about." Mei snapped. Arwen blinked as she realized how true those words were. The girl did not belong to their world. This made no sense and at the same time it did. Arwen closed her eyes and let out a breath of air. She looked at the girl again.
"Then why are you going?" Mei turned away and stayed quiet. Arwen walked up to her and turned her around and forced the girl to look up at her. Arwen gasped as she saw how emotionless her golden eyes were.
"I don't want him to face it alone. I don't want to see it again."
~ END OF FLASHBACK~
She sighed and muttered curses under her breath as she began to feel more like herself. Why did that elf had to ask those questions? Of course she could not blame her for asking. She then sighed again and scratched her head. This was getting too hectic for right now. She just needed some time out. What better way then to sleep? Then she glared at Gandalf who was leading and figured it would be sometime before she would get her nap. She decided to keep herself occupied by thinking about the others. She looked around to see who would be her first target. Her eyes caught on Legolas who had looked back at her and then quickly faced the front when their eyes met. Mei found this amusing. Why was that elf so interested? She began to think up possible reasons. Was it because she was strange? That had a high possibility. Or was it her attitude? Also rather good reason. What better way to get the answer than to ask? She then jogged up to him and gave the elf a slap on the back.
Legolas blinked as he felt a slap. He turned to see that Mei was looking up at him with a smug expression. He could something nagging in his mind as he looked at the human girl.
"Say, Legolas, I was wondering about something." Mei said innocently. Legolas wondered if this was a good thing or a bad one.
"And what is it that you wish to know, Priestess Mei." Legolas asked. Mei gave a pout as she pretended to ponder on her question. Legolas felt something churn inside of him as he watched her face. However the churning was not a good thing.
"Well...are all elves pretty like you?" Mei asked, as she made sure to have her eyes wide and innocent to prevent Legolas from getting angry. Legolas blushed as he tried to give an answer and wondered why the girl thought of him as pretty.
"What do you mean by pretty?" Legolas asked while trying to keep the others from hearing them. Mei just pouted again.
"Well, I think you look pretty like Arwen. Except that Arwen is more up in the beautiful status then pretty, but that's beside the point. So why are you pretty?" Mei asked tilting her head. Legolas turned away and muttered something. Mei leaned over to hear and then gave a grin.
"So, you elves get pretty when you get older. So that makes you an old man!" Mei said with glee. This got Legolas furious.
"I am not an old man! I am an elf and it is common for elves to live long lives!" Legolas snapped. Mei gave a smirk as she leaned over at Legolas. He moved away from her. Mei's smirk grew as she saw his reaction.
"Really Legolas, you elves should try to live in the moment. No wonder you guys are so boring. Long lives seem to dull your sense of fun…hm…I'm glad to have a short life…at least for me it's been pretty exciting." Mei mused out loud. Legolas had no idea on what to say so he did the only thing he could do and that was ignoring her. Mei tried teasing him more, however he successfully ignored her despite the fact that he was close to shouting at her. Mei pouted as she saw that Legolas was going to ignore her for the rest of the trip. Oh well, it was her fault, but then she did get him back for ignoring her earlier in the secret meeting. She looked around and saw Boromir and she thought about teasing him. She was about to run up to him when something made her stop. She could feel someone coming near them…wait not near…just following them. She stopped walking as she tried to pinpoint the source. It was far away, just enough for her to almost ignore it is she had been more distracted…then her eyes widen. What if this person had been following ever since she got here? How come she did not felt it before? What if this person was hiding from them? She just stood there until she felt someone shaking her. She blinked to see that it was Gandalf who was shaking her. She stared dumbly for a minute before she understood what was going on.
"Hheeyy! Ollddd mmaannn! Youuu cccaannn ssstttooppp nnoooww!"
Gandalf did that while Mei was trying to keep the world from spinning. After a few minutes she bend over with her head between her legs to calm down. When she finally found peace she looked up at Gandalf and glared at him. Gandalf merely raised an eyebrow.
"Lord Legolas was concern over the fact you had suddenly stopped moving. He tried to call your name several times. You seemed to be in a trance of some sort." Gandalf answered to her silent question. Mei rolled her eyes and soon found that to be a mistake as she once again found the world to be spinning. She closed her eyes for a moment before she opened them again. Then she gave a smirk.
"I'm fine, I just got lost in my own thoughts." Mei said as she brushed off the concern. Then she looked at Gandalf in the eye. The entire Fellowship wonder what was going on as Gandalf slowly nodded. Mei let out a sigh of relief before she looked at the others. "Don't worry! Everything is fine! Let's go!"
Legolas looked at her before he turned his head away. Frodo decided to walk near her and hold her hand. She allowed him to and gave a smile at him. Frodo felt better after seeing the smile. Legolas turned back to see if she was really fine. For some reason, he had felt fear clutching his heart when the human did not respond him and stood there as if she were not alive.
**************************************************************************** ************************************************
They had decided to stop for a while at the top of some large hill that they climbed. Mei sighed as she looked around. Everywhere she looked, there were mountains. She found herself enjoying the moment and being a part of nature. She looked down at the others. Boromir and Aragorn were teaching the Hobbits how to fight. She gave a grin at the sight of it. Then she remembered her own training. She needed to be in shape and to make sure her skills were sharp. She sighed as she stretched out her muscles. She looked at her surroundings again. She gave a smirk as she noticed how there were rocks and a small cliff on the hill that they were occupying. She stood up on one of them and calmed herself. She clapped her hands before they were positioned in a palm and hook with one leg tucked behind the other. She held that position for sometime until she did a jump and twist kick and that got her down to a small rock that only allowed her to have room for a foot. She balanced herself before she did a back flip kick and landed on her hands. She kept this up for sometime, jumping from rock to rock, kicking or punching during the whole thing like a kata. She loved the feeling of being in the air and to feel free. It was sometime before she stopped and she had done a back flip at the end. She was covered in sweat and she whipped it off of her face. She was breathing heavily and walked around just to calm herself when she felt a chill coming down on her and that someone had grabbed her and pulled her to the ground.
"What the…" She began when a hand covered her mouth. She tried to struggle only to find that she was tightly embraced against someone.
"Quiet…" Mei's eyes widen as she recognized Legolas's voice. She was about to struggle even more when her ears heard something. It sounded like birds. A whole flock of birds. She gulped as she heard them fly around the area that they were in. That was when her brain caught up with everything. She was with Legolas and lying down under a cliff. Her heart was pounding as she could hear the birds cawing and flying past them. She could feel that they were circling around their area. She swore in her mind that if she got out of this, she would never watch a movie with scary birds in it. It seemed like forever to Mei, as she stayed hidden with Legolas pinning her from any movement. Finally, silence fell through the area. Mei soon found herself gasping for air. She could not remember the last time she breathed. Legolas rolled over and he managed to stand up while Mei stayed on the ground. She took some time before she regains control.
"Just what the hell was that, old man?" Mei asked as she slowly got up. Legolas ignored her. He was furious that the girl had called him old man again and also his confusion on wanting to protect the girl. Gandalf answered for him.
"Those are spies, Priestess Mei. They will know that we are taking this path to Mount Doom. We will need to take an alternate path."
"And how the hell are we going to get there?" Mei asked crossly.
**************************************************************************** ********************************************
"Stupid Gandalf and his stupid ideas!" Mei muttered as she walked on the snow. She was now not only worried about herself and the Hobbits, she was also worried about her bass! "Sauron is going to pay my bills after this is all done. I bet all of my strings are broken."
She was now behind the groups since she volunteered to. Why was beyond her. They were climbing a hill when Frodo suddenly lost balance and began to tumble backwards. Lucky for him, Mei stopped him and helped him up.
"Thank you." He said shyly. Mei gave a nod when she tense. Frodo looked at her with worry until he looked over to see what Mei was looking at. What he saw made his blood freeze. There was Boromir a few paces in front of them, holding the broken chain with the One Ring. Mei glared at the man.
"Give it back to Frodo, Boromir." Mei said coldly. Frodo blinked at the sudden change in Mei's tone. Boromir looked at the dangling ring with awe. "I know what you want to do with that, but it'll only make things worse."
Boromir slowly took his eyes away from the ring and looked at Frodo. He gave a shaky smile and slowly walked over to them. Frodo could feel his chest pounding, as the man got closer. At last, Boromir gave the ring to the Hobbit who quickly took it. Boromir gave a nod to Mei who returned it before he turned away. Mei glared at his back for some time before she looked down at Frodo who was shaking.
"Hey, are you cold?" Mei asked slightly worried as she hugged the Hobbit. Frodo hugged her tightly but shook his head. Mei shrugged her shoulders but allowed the teen to take comfort. Then she looked at the others and gaped at how much distance the others gain. "Uh…Frodo, as much as I like to stand here hugging you, we need to get going!"
The two pulled away and quickly climbed up the snowy hill. Mei had to help Frodo more than once for the Hobbit to catch up. The groups walked on and the weather became harsher with each step. Mei then mad a correction on that fact. Legolas was the only one that did not seem to mind. Mei glared as she saw how easily the elf had managed to walk over the snow. While everyone was trudging against the snow, the elf walked on the surface. It was like he was floating. Mei wondered if the elf weighted anything. Then she thought back about the incident at the hill. The elf seemed heavy, so that meant he must have some magic on him.
"Stupid elf. How can he stand the cold and snow while the rest is like freezing their asses off? I hate the cold." Mei whimpered as she walked on.
As they walked the narrow path of the mountain trail, Mei felt as if someone wanted to push her off. They were approaching a turn when Mei could hear a voice. It was haunting and powerful. She could see that Gandalf was trying his best to fend off the attack. Mei gave a pray to Kami-sama that the Hobbits were safe with the taller people. She decided to help but then wondered how she could do it. She thought for a moment then decided that she would sing and sent it out to whoever was attacking them.
"konayuki ga maiorite kita machi de
toiki ga shiroku sora ni hodokete yuku
anata no koto omoeba doushite?
konna ni mune ga atsuku naru
In this city where a powder snow comes dancing down from heaven,
my sigh fades white up to the sky.
When I think about you, I don't know why but
my heart gets so warm...
Gandalf looked over as he felt something powerful beginning to grow. His eyes widen at the sight of Mei singing and concentrating on fighting against his old teacher. Her voice was sweet and light, warming him, but he worried on how she would be able to defend herself against the next coming attack. She was glowing a light yellow and her hands were clasped in prayer. He then went on fighting again.
ki ga tsuku to itsumo hitogomi no naka
youfuku uriba window nozoku to
kawanai no ni erandari shite'ru
anata ni niai sou da nante
When I realize, I am always amidst a crowd of people.
When I look in the clothing shop window,
even if I won't buy anything, I end up picking something out,
because I think that it might look good on you.
BAKA mitai da yo ne
ima wa hayaranai ne
tomodachi no koibito to
wakattete suki ni natte
I look like a fool, don't I?
That's not cool anymore, is it?
Though I knew you're my friend's boyfriend,
I ended up falling in love with you.
shou ga nai warawarete mo ii
taisetsu na kimochi
There's nothing I can do. You can laugh at me if you want,
my precious feelings.
Pure snow Pure heart futari
deatta hi mo yuki ga futte-ita
koi yori mo setsunakute
ai yori mo USO no nai
unmei wo kanjita no
Pure snow Pure heart It was
snowing on the day we met, too.
I felt a fate upon us
more heart-wrenching than passion,
more truthful than love.
kanojo ga hanasu jimanbanashi wo
odoke nagara kiitari mo suru kedo
yappari hitori ni naru to tsurai no
tomodachi no kamen wa omotai
I even listen to her bragging,
making fun of [or joking around with] her all the while,
but (for her) to be alone would be heart-breaking.
The mask of friendship is a heavy burden.
nande anata shika
dame nan darou ne
omou toki mechakucha ni
jibun wo kowashitaku naru
Why are you the only one
I can't be with?
When I think about that,
I want to break myself up completely.
sonna toki sesaete kureru no
ichimai no shashin
In times like those, what gives me support
is a single picture.
Pure snow Pure heart ano hi
mou sukoshi no yuuki ga areba
samui kisetsu no sei to
tobikonde iketa hazu
demo nazeka dekinakatta
Pure snow Pure heart I'm sure that
if I had a bit more courage that day,
I could've flown to your embrace
and blamed it on the chilly season
but for some reason, I couldn't do it.
Mei was feeling weaker by the second. Whoever was attacking them was damn strong. Was this Sauron? She tried to feel through the attack and she frowned as she noticed that chi was different. Her eyes widen and her singing faltered as she realized that this guys was another person. Also the fact that this guy must be an ally of Sauron. Then she gave herself a mental shake. She could not back down now. She got into this fight and she was not going to back done on it. She willed her voice to keep going, to be stronger. She will not lose now!
Legolas looked over at the girl singing. He could see that this fighting was taking a great deal of power from her. She was looking very pale. He could feel how tense the air was becoming. The foul voice that came so far and the sweet warm one that was behind him were fighting over the air. He looked back at her again…will she win?
Pure snow Pure heart kitto
naitari shita koto mo kuyamanai
wakari kitta tsuyogari
kidzuite kureru koto wo
itsu made mo matte'ru
Pure snow Pure heart I definitely won't
even regret the fact that I cried.
I'll forever wait
for you to realize
my obviously fake bravery.
Pure snow Pure heart futari
deatta hi mo yuki ga futte-ita
koi yori mo setsunakute
ai yori mo USO no nai
unmei wo kanjita no
Pure snow Pure heart It was
snowing on the day we met, too.
I felt a fate upon us
more heart-wrenching than passion,
more truthful than love.
She had reached the end of her song and began to sing it again. However she had to pause and at that moment, the attacker had sent out lightening. It hit the cliff above them. Snow and ice fell on to the group like rain and began to cover them like a cruel blanket of death. A large piece of snow and ice hit her head and her last thought on the matter was that she hated being cold.
**************************************************************************** *****************************************
Mei moaned softly as she tried to open her eyes. She only saw darkness, however then understood that the darkness was that the time of day. She slowly got up and felt her head. The last thing she remembered was snow and as she looked around, there was no snow. She looked around for the second time.
"Am I in some sort of hell and now it's night time?" she muttered. She could see a nice big ugly lake and trees that were barely alive. She looked to see that she was laid on a cloak, along with the bags. She looked to see that her bass was still there. She could see that most of them were by the lake and that Gandalf and Frodo were by some wall with some glowing markings on it. She decided to talk to Frodo. She slowly got up and walked her way towards them. She moaned softly as she rubbed her head, only to find a piece of cloth wrapped around her forehead. She could only guess that she had been injured. She noticed that Gandalf was concentrating so she bugged Frodo. "Hey…what happened?"
Frodo turned and gasped to see Mei up. He hugged her tightly.
"Everyone else was digging their way out of the snow, but you didn't so Legolas was digging snow and he found you, but you looked dead…and… Gimli…"Frodo just hugged her, unable to say anything. She made a face as she realized that she would have to thank Legolas twice. It would probably help if she stopped calling the elf an old man.
"So where are we?"
"At the entrance of the mines of Moria." Gandalf answered. Mei looked at him.
"Let me guess, we can't get in."
"It is only temporary. Not until I find out how to open the door."
"Well, you do that. I got to go say my thanks to a certain elf. Man…is it me or is it cold?" Mei asked as she walked away with Frodo. She saw the elf was standing off to himself. She grimaced as she gulped her pride down. Right now she needed to be humble. She looked up to the sky and dared her gods to laugh at her. She pushed Frodo towards Sam, not wanting an audience, and tapped Legolas's shoulder. Legolas turned to meet a pair of golden eyes. He wondered what the girl was going to saw. To his surprise, Mei bowed to him.
"Thank you, Prince Legolas of Mirkwood, for saving my life twice. I am sorry for insulting you and I hope you will forgive me." Mei said in a humble tone. Legolas blinked in surprise. This human girl keeps on amazing him.
"There is no need to thank me. You are part of the Fellowship." Legolas said quietly. Mei looked up and shook her head.
"I'm afraid that is where you are mistaken. I am not part of the Fellowship. I am only a girl who is helping. I thank you again for saving my life, Prince Legolas." Mei said as she bowed again. By now, Legolas was blushing with the sudden respect from the way world priestess. He quickly lifted the girl up and gave a nervous look at Mei.
"Priestess, there is no need to call me prince. Legolas is my birth name." Mei tilted her head to one side and pouted a bit. Legolas felt his insides churn at that look. Then Mei gave a grin.
"Okay! If I call you Legolas, you call me Mei. Deal? That's great!" Mei said quickly as she grabbed his hand and shook it. Legolas stared in shock at what had happened to him as the girl skipped away. Aragorn watched the whole thing with amusement in his eyes. He casual walked over to his friend. Legolas was still staring at Mei.
"I would be careful my friend. She has a temper and she is from another world." Aragorn said smirking. Legolas snapped his head in attention. His eyes widen at the man's meaning.
"Are you implying that I am lusting after her?" Legolas asked angrily. Aragorn chuckled and shook his head.
"Not at all, good friend. I am saying that you are falling in love with her." Legolas gaped at that thought. Then he grabbed the front of Aragorn's shirt and glared at his friend.
"Do not think such thoughts in your head, Aragorn. It would be years before I would love a child like her."
Aragorn merely looked at him in the eye. He gave a sad smile at his old friend.
"I am afraid, my friend, that it is too late."
Mei blinked as her head became clear. Now, she was able to sense something evil coming from the mine. She looked at Gandalf then at Frodo. Frodo had managed to calm down long enough to explained what had happened. She was personally glad that she would not be cold, however, she did not know if the evil feeling was worth it. Gandalf was sure taking his sweet time in figuring out how to open the door. Mei decided to take a hand at it.
"So you're saying that it says 'the Doors of Durin, Lord of Moria. Speak, friend, and enter'? That doesn't seem so hard. It's like one of those trick questions." Mei said smirking. Frodo looked puzzled. Mei noticed this and tried to explain. "Think about this, Frodo. First off, these are dwarves. DO you think that they are going to do some high magic in opening this thing? No. Dwarves are pretty simple. So you got to think of a way to keep the door from allowing the enemies to enter and yet your own people to get in. So what do you do? You make a riddle that is easy for simple- minded people and hard for those with more complex minds. So that means…" Mei trailed off, hoping that Frodo would get it. Frodo did understand what she was trying to say.
"So all you really need to do is say friend!"
"Right!" Mei said patting Frodo on the back. Then she frowned. "Then why the hell didn't it open when we said friend?"
Frodo thought for a moment before he understood why.
"Gandalf, what is the Elvin word for friend?"
**************************************************************************** *********************************************
"Open Sesame!" Mei cheered as she watched the entry to the mines open. She ran right into it as well as Gimli but she stopped, as her nose smelled something. The room smelled like death. She could hear the others coming in. Mei let her senses go and then her face went emotionless. "Hey, Gimli…does the place usually stink like this?"
Gimli gave a negative answer, as he smelled the room himself. Gandalf cast a light on his rod. Everyone except for Mei gasped at the sight of the dead bodies.
"Something evil hit them here and all over this place. I don't think we're going to find a single living creature here." Mei said calmly. Gandalf gave a nod at that. It seemed that the wizard and the priestess respect each other enough to count on the mission. "So tell me about Moria that I missed out on."
Before he could, Legolas took out an arrow that was in one of the carcasses. His face turned grim as he recognized the arrowhead.
"Goblins." He said calmly. The Hobbits were shaking in fear. They had never seen such a mass of dead bodies. Frodo looked over at Mei, wondering how she was able to take in such a sight. Aragorn and Boromir began to back away. Gimli was still in shock but had his ax ready.
"We need to leave! Get out!" Boromir yelled. The four Hobbits backed out quickly when Frodo cried out. Mei snapped her head to the direction of the cry and saw Frodo being dragged. She gasped and then ran out to help. It was only one tentacle that had him, but as the other Hobbits slashed at it. More of them burst out from the water and smacked the Hobbits away from its prey. Everyone now was outside and trying to save Frodo. The creature then revealed itself as it took Frodo high in the air. Mei then stopped running. She looked at the thing and just stood there, blinking. The others were yelling and trying to get Frodo while the victim called for help. Legolas turned to see that Mei was just standing there. Thinking that she was frighten, Legolas was going to protect her when she ran at the animal. One of tentacles was speeding at her when she jumped up and then used the tentacle to push herself at Frodo.
"It you think that you're going to eat this little guy, you have another thing coming. I eat you for dinner at home!" Mei yelled as she jumped on the moving tentacles. She blocked one that was coming from her right and the jumped to tackle the bound Frodo. They heard a roar and both looked down to see the huge open mouth with jagged teeth. Frodo yelled while Mei stood there looking at it. Then she noticed how high from the ground she was. Then she screamed. "WHAT THE FUCK?! GET ME OUT OF HERE!!! STUPIPD FUCKING SQUID! WHEN I GET DOWN FROM HERE, YOU'ER MINE!! YOU HEAR THAT? YOU'RE GOING TO BE SUSHI WHEN THIS IS ALL THROUGH!!!"
Everyone stopped for a moment as they saw how frighten the priestess was. However the monster took the time to hurl the two into its mouth. All saw the moment and tried their best to stop it, however their thoughts betrayed them as logic informed them that they would be too late.
Sam watched the scene but then closed his eyes. He could not bear the thought of seeing his friend and the priestess being eaten by a monster. Time passed slowly for him when he heard a gasp and the priestess's voice. The words that she spoke were music to his ears…though the words were not so pleasant.
"You are one dead mother fucker. This is the part where I take my buddy and we escape your mouth. Shit…get a mint! Your breath stinks!"
Sam looked to see that the priestess had positioned herself so that her feet were on both sides of the monster's mouth. Her legs were stretched so that the monster was unable to eat both her and Frodo. However, the monster was putting more pressure on her as she tried to push up and away from the mouth while the tentacles that were holding Frodo were pushing down. Slowly she reached into one of her sleeves and pulled out the white jade necklace. Then she held it in her hands, wincing at the pain on her back.
"I've never hurt innocent creatures before, but I'm going to make an exception for you…your sushi butt is mine!"
Mei concentrated and the jade necklace brought out a flash of burning light at the monster. Mei felt the tentacle relax a bit on her back so she grabbed it from behind her and pushed herself off so that she was with Frodo. Then she pulled Frodo from its relaxed grip and then jumped away as fast as she can from it.
"RUN!! WE GOT TO GET INSIDE!!"
The entire group ran into the cave, by this time, the monster had recovered from its shock and roared as it threw itself into the entrance. The stonewalls crumbled at the monster's strength. They ran deeper into the mine while the monster tried to get in. However it fling it's tentacles around and caused the ceiling to crumble. Mei ran, still carrying Frodo to avoid being crushed. After a long ran and silence, they were able to stop. While everyone was catching their breath, Legolas and Sam went up to Mei and Frodo.
"Are you all right, Mister Frodo?"
"I am fine Sam. Thank you Mei."
Mei gave a sheepish laugh.
"Ah, that's nothing. Just my everyday saving people routine!" Mei said cheerfully. Legolas then grabbed her shoulders and shook her.
"You are mad! You nearly died and take this as a jest?" Legolas asked angrily. Aragorn hid a smile as he saw the concern in Legolas's eyes. However Mei looked up at him and smirk.
"Come on, Elffie! You need to live it up! Besides, I couldn't let Frodo have a death by being eaten." Mei said smirking, however her smirk dropped as she realized something. She gave a cry and hugged Legolas. The Elf, who was outraged by the new name, blushed and looked over to Aragorn for help. Aragorn shook his head. Frodo looked at Mei with worry.
"Mei, are you hurt?" Frodo asked. Mei then looked up with tears pouring out of her eyes. She shook her head.
"MY SUSHI IS CRUSHED! NOW I CAN'T HAVE ANY SUSHI TO EAT!"
With that said, she buried her head into Legolas's chest and continued to cry. Legolas kept blushing while the others were laughing at his expense. Gimli muttered about women and how much they cry.
"WHY ME, KAMI_SAMA?"

Chapter Five
Legolas looked over at the blue haired girl for the tenth time of the day. The girl was unusually silent. Not once did she talk with the others except for the Hobbits. However even with them, her answers were short and final. He could see how worried Frodo was over the girl. Something tells him that the young ring bearer felt guilty for having her here with them. Frodo even talked this over with Gandalf who looked over at the girl and merely said that she just needed time. However, time for what? He sighed and then turned his attention in walking.
Mei was lost in her own thoughts. Her mind kept on thinking about the conversation between her and Arwen.
~FLASH BACK~
"So, what did ya want to talk to me about?" Mei asked cheerfully. Arwen was silent before she faced the human.
"Why did you refuse the Fellowship?" Mei was quiet then. Arwen studied the girl and then she felt her whole body tense as she noticed how the human's eyes were narrowed and that her posture was now more dangerous.
"Why didn't you offer?" Arwen blinked at that. That was something that she was not expecting.
"My father would not let me and my people would need me." Mei gave a shrug at that.
"I don't want to be a part of something that holds little meaning for me." Arwen then glared at the girl.
"How can you say such a thing? Our entire world is depending on that destruction of the ring and you care nothing for it!"
"Why the hell should I? And this is not my world! My world doesn't have any elves or Hobbits! My world is where my family is, where my friends are, where I belong! This isn't my world! This is just a place where the people here are begging for someone foolish enough to take up on a quest that they have no idea about." Mei snapped. Arwen blinked as she realized how true those words were. The girl did not belong to their world. This made no sense and at the same time it did. Arwen closed her eyes and let out a breath of air. She looked at the girl again.
"Then why are you going?" Mei turned away and stayed quiet. Arwen walked up to her and turned her around and forced the girl to look up at her. Arwen gasped as she saw how emotionless her golden eyes were.
"I don't want him to face it alone. I don't want to see it again."
~ END OF FLASHBACK~
She sighed and muttered curses under her breath as she began to feel more like herself. Why did that elf had to ask those questions? Of course she could not blame her for asking. She then sighed again and scratched her head. This was getting too hectic for right now. She just needed some time out. What better way then to sleep? Then she glared at Gandalf who was leading and figured it would be sometime before she would get her nap. She decided to keep herself occupied by thinking about the others. She looked around to see who would be her first target. Her eyes caught on Legolas who had looked back at her and then quickly faced the front when their eyes met. Mei found this amusing. Why was that elf so interested? She began to think up possible reasons. Was it because she was strange? That had a high possibility. Or was it her attitude? Also rather good reason. What better way to get the answer than to ask? She then jogged up to him and gave the elf a slap on the back.
Legolas blinked as he felt a slap. He turned to see that Mei was looking up at him with a smug expression. He could something nagging in his mind as he looked at the human girl.
"Say, Legolas, I was wondering about something." Mei said innocently. Legolas wondered if this was a good thing or a bad one.
"And what is it that you wish to know, Priestess Mei." Legolas asked. Mei gave a pout as she pretended to ponder on her question. Legolas felt something churn inside of him as he watched her face. However the churning was not a good thing.
"Well...are all elves pretty like you?" Mei asked, as she made sure to have her eyes wide and innocent to prevent Legolas from getting angry. Legolas blushed as he tried to give an answer and wondered why the girl thought of him as pretty.
"What do you mean by pretty?" Legolas asked while trying to keep the others from hearing them. Mei just pouted again.
"Well, I think you look pretty like Arwen. Except that Arwen is more up in the beautiful status then pretty, but that's beside the point. So why are you pretty?" Mei asked tilting her head. Legolas turned away and muttered something. Mei leaned over to hear and then gave a grin.
"So, you elves get pretty when you get older. So that makes you an old man!" Mei said with glee. This got Legolas furious.
"I am not an old man! I am an elf and it is common for elves to live long lives!" Legolas snapped. Mei gave a smirk as she leaned over at Legolas. He moved away from her. Mei's smirk grew as she saw his reaction.
"Really Legolas, you elves should try to live in the moment. No wonder you guys are so boring. Long lives seem to dull your sense of fun…hm…I'm glad to have a short life…at least for me it's been pretty exciting." Mei mused out loud. Legolas had no idea on what to say so he did the only thing he could do and that was ignoring her. Mei tried teasing him more, however he successfully ignored her despite the fact that he was close to shouting at her. Mei pouted as she saw that Legolas was going to ignore her for the rest of the trip. Oh well, it was her fault, but then she did get him back for ignoring her earlier in the secret meeting. She looked around and saw Boromir and she thought about teasing him. She was about to run up to him when something made her stop. She could feel someone coming near them…wait not near…just following them. She stopped walking as she tried to pinpoint the source. It was far away, just enough for her to almost ignore it is she had been more distracted…then her eyes widen. What if this person had been following ever since she got here? How come she did not felt it before? What if this person was hiding from them? She just stood there until she felt someone shaking her. She blinked to see that it was Gandalf who was shaking her. She stared dumbly for a minute before she understood what was going on.
"Hheeyy! Ollddd mmaannn! Youuu cccaannn ssstttooppp nnoooww!"
Gandalf did that while Mei was trying to keep the world from spinning. After a few minutes she bend over with her head between her legs to calm down. When she finally found peace she looked up at Gandalf and glared at him. Gandalf merely raised an eyebrow.
"Lord Legolas was concern over the fact you had suddenly stopped moving. He tried to call your name several times. You seemed to be in a trance of some sort." Gandalf answered to her silent question. Mei rolled her eyes and soon found that to be a mistake as she once again found the world to be spinning. She closed her eyes for a moment before she opened them again. Then she gave a smirk.
"I'm fine, I just got lost in my own thoughts." Mei said as she brushed off the concern. Then she looked at Gandalf in the eye. The entire Fellowship wonder what was going on as Gandalf slowly nodded. Mei let out a sigh of relief before she looked at the others. "Don't worry! Everything is fine! Let's go!"
Legolas looked at her before he turned his head away. Frodo decided to walk near her and hold her hand. She allowed him to and gave a smile at him. Frodo felt better after seeing the smile. Legolas turned back to see if she was really fine. For some reason, he had felt fear clutching his heart when the human did not respond him and stood there as if she were not alive.
**************************************************************************** ************************************************
They had decided to stop for a while at the top of some large hill that they climbed. Mei sighed as she looked around. Everywhere she looked, there were mountains. She found herself enjoying the moment and being a part of nature. She looked down at the others. Boromir and Aragorn were teaching the Hobbits how to fight. She gave a grin at the sight of it. Then she remembered her own training. She needed to be in shape and to make sure her skills were sharp. She sighed as she stretched out her muscles. She looked at her surroundings again. She gave a smirk as she noticed how there were rocks and a small cliff on the hill that they were occupying. She stood up on one of them and calmed herself. She clapped her hands before they were positioned in a palm and hook with one leg tucked behind the other. She held that position for sometime until she did a jump and twist kick and that got her down to a small rock that only allowed her to have room for a foot. She balanced herself before she did a back flip kick and landed on her hands. She kept this up for sometime, jumping from rock to rock, kicking or punching during the whole thing like a kata. She loved the feeling of being in the air and to feel free. It was sometime before she stopped and she had done a back flip at the end. She was covered in sweat and she whipped it off of her face. She was breathing heavily and walked around just to calm herself when she felt a chill coming down on her and that someone had grabbed her and pulled her to the ground.
"What the…" She began when a hand covered her mouth. She tried to struggle only to find that she was tightly embraced against someone.
"Quiet…" Mei's eyes widen as she recognized Legolas's voice. She was about to struggle even more when her ears heard something. It sounded like birds. A whole flock of birds. She gulped as she heard them fly around the area that they were in. That was when her brain caught up with everything. She was with Legolas and lying down under a cliff. Her heart was pounding as she could hear the birds cawing and flying past them. She could feel that they were circling around their area. She swore in her mind that if she got out of this, she would never watch a movie with scary birds in it. It seemed like forever to Mei, as she stayed hidden with Legolas pinning her from any movement. Finally, silence fell through the area. Mei soon found herself gasping for air. She could not remember the last time she breathed. Legolas rolled over and he managed to stand up while Mei stayed on the ground. She took some time before she regains control.
"Just what the hell was that, old man?" Mei asked as she slowly got up. Legolas ignored her. He was furious that the girl had called him old man again and also his confusion on wanting to protect the girl. Gandalf answered for him.
"Those are spies, Priestess Mei. They will know that we are taking this path to Mount Doom. We will need to take an alternate path."
"And how the hell are we going to get there?" Mei asked crossly.
**************************************************************************** ********************************************
"Stupid Gandalf and his stupid ideas!" Mei muttered as she walked on the snow. She was now not only worried about herself and the Hobbits, she was also worried about her bass! "Sauron is going to pay my bills after this is all done. I bet all of my strings are broken."
She was now behind the groups since she volunteered to. Why was beyond her. They were climbing a hill when Frodo suddenly lost balance and began to tumble backwards. Lucky for him, Mei stopped him and helped him up.
"Thank you." He said shyly. Mei gave a nod when she tense. Frodo looked at her with worry until he looked over to see what Mei was looking at. What he saw made his blood freeze. There was Boromir a few paces in front of them, holding the broken chain with the One Ring. Mei glared at the man.
"Give it back to Frodo, Boromir." Mei said coldly. Frodo blinked at the sudden change in Mei's tone. Boromir looked at the dangling ring with awe. "I know what you want to do with that, but it'll only make things worse."
Boromir slowly took his eyes away from the ring and looked at Frodo. He gave a shaky smile and slowly walked over to them. Frodo could feel his chest pounding, as the man got closer. At last, Boromir gave the ring to the Hobbit who quickly took it. Boromir gave a nod to Mei who returned it before he turned away. Mei glared at his back for some time before she looked down at Frodo who was shaking.
"Hey, are you cold?" Mei asked slightly worried as she hugged the Hobbit. Frodo hugged her tightly but shook his head. Mei shrugged her shoulders but allowed the teen to take comfort. Then she looked at the others and gaped at how much distance the others gain. "Uh…Frodo, as much as I like to stand here hugging you, we need to get going!"
The two pulled away and quickly climbed up the snowy hill. Mei had to help Frodo more than once for the Hobbit to catch up. The groups walked on and the weather became harsher with each step. Mei then mad a correction on that fact. Legolas was the only one that did not seem to mind. Mei glared as she saw how easily the elf had managed to walk over the snow. While everyone was trudging against the snow, the elf walked on the surface. It was like he was floating. Mei wondered if the elf weighted anything. Then she thought back about the incident at the hill. The elf seemed heavy, so that meant he must have some magic on him.
"Stupid elf. How can he stand the cold and snow while the rest is like freezing their asses off? I hate the cold." Mei whimpered as she walked on.
As they walked the narrow path of the mountain trail, Mei felt as if someone wanted to push her off. They were approaching a turn when Mei could hear a voice. It was haunting and powerful. She could see that Gandalf was trying his best to fend off the attack. Mei gave a pray to Kami-sama that the Hobbits were safe with the taller people. She decided to help but then wondered how she could do it. She thought for a moment then decided that she would sing and sent it out to whoever was attacking them.
"konayuki ga maiorite kita machi de
toiki ga shiroku sora ni hodokete yuku
anata no koto omoeba doushite?
konna ni mune ga atsuku naru
In this city where a powder snow comes dancing down from heaven,
my sigh fades white up to the sky.
When I think about you, I don't know why but
my heart gets so warm...
Gandalf looked over as he felt something powerful beginning to grow. His eyes widen at the sight of Mei singing and concentrating on fighting against his old teacher. Her voice was sweet and light, warming him, but he worried on how she would be able to defend herself against the next coming attack. She was glowing a light yellow and her hands were clasped in prayer. He then went on fighting again.
ki ga tsuku to itsumo hitogomi no naka
youfuku uriba window nozoku to

When I realize, I am always amidst a crowd of people.
When I look in the clothing shop window,
even if I won't buy anything, I end up picking something out,
because I think that it might look good on you.
BAKA mitai da yo ne

I look like a fool, don't I?
That's not cool anymore, is it?
Though I knew you're my friend's boyfriend,
I ended up falling in love with you.

There's nothing I can do. You can laugh at me if you want,
my precious feelings.
Pure snow Pure heart futari
deatta hi mo yuki ga futte-ita
koi yori mo setsunakute

Pure snow Pure heart It was
snowing on the day we met, too.
I felt a fate upon us
more heart-wrenching than passion,
more truthful than love.

I even listen to her bragging,
making fun of [or joking around with] her all the while,
but (for her) to be alone would be heart-breaking.
The mask of friendship is a heavy burden.
nande anata shika
dame nan darou ne

Why are you the only one
I can't be with?
When I think about that,
I want to break myself up completely.
sonna toki sesaete kureru no

In times like those, what gives me support
is a single picture.
Pure snow Pure heart ano hi

Pure snow Pure heart I'm sure that
if I had a bit more courage that day,
I could've flown to your embrace
and blamed it on the chilly season
but for some reason, I couldn't do it.
Mei was feeling weaker by the second. Whoever was attacking them was damn strong. Was this Sauron? She tried to feel through the attack and she frowned as she noticed that chi was different. Her eyes widen and her singing faltered as she realized that this guys was another person. Also the fact that this guy must be an ally of Sauron. Then she gave herself a mental shake. She could not back down now. She got into this fight and she was not going to back done on it. She willed her voice to keep going, to be stronger. She will not lose now!
Legolas looked over at the girl singing. He could see that this fighting was taking a great deal of power from her. She was looking very pale. He could feel how tense the air was becoming. The foul voice that came so far and the sweet warm one that was behind him were fighting over the air. He looked back at her again…will she win?
Pure snow Pure heart kitto
naitari shita koto mo kuyamanai
wakari kitta tsuyogari
kidzuite kureru koto wo

Pure snow Pure heart I definitely won't
even regret the fact that I cried.
I'll forever wait
for you to realize
my obviously fake bravery.
Pure snow Pure heart futari
deatta hi mo yuki ga futte-ita
koi yori mo setsunakute

Pure snow Pure heart It was
snowing on the day we met, too.
I felt a fate upon us
more heart-wrenching than passion,
more truthful than love.
She had reached the end of her song and began to sing it again. However she had to pause and at that moment, the attacker had sent out lightening. It hit the cliff above them. Snow and ice fell on to the group like rain and began to cover them like a cruel blanket of death. A large piece of snow and ice hit her head and her last thought on the matter was that she hated being cold.
**************************************************************************** *****************************************
Mei moaned softly as she tried to open her eyes. She only saw darkness, however then understood that the darkness was that the time of day. She slowly got up and felt her head. The last thing she remembered was snow and as she looked around, there was no snow. She looked around for the second time.
"Am I in some sort of hell and now it's night time?" she muttered. She could see a nice big ugly lake and trees that were barely alive. She looked to see that she was laid on a cloak, along with the bags. She looked to see that her bass was still there. She could see that most of them were by the lake and that Gandalf and Frodo were by some wall with some glowing markings on it. She decided to talk to Frodo. She slowly got up and walked her way towards them. She moaned softly as she rubbed her head, only to find a piece of cloth wrapped around her forehead. She could only guess that she had been injured. She noticed that Gandalf was concentrating so she bugged Frodo. "Hey…what happened?"
Frodo turned and gasped to see Mei up. He hugged her tightly.
"Everyone else was digging their way out of the snow, but you didn't so Legolas was digging snow and he found you, but you looked dead…and… Gimli…"Frodo just hugged her, unable to say anything. She made a face as she realized that she would have to thank Legolas twice. It would probably help if she stopped calling the elf an old man.
"So where are we?"
"At the entrance of the mines of Moria." Gandalf answered. Mei looked at him.
"Let me guess, we can't get in."
"It is only temporary. Not until I find out how to open the door."
"Well, you do that. I got to go say my thanks to a certain elf. Man…is it me or is it cold?" Mei asked as she walked away with Frodo. She saw the elf was standing off to himself. She grimaced as she gulped her pride down. Right now she needed to be humble. She looked up to the sky and dared her gods to laugh at her. She pushed Frodo towards Sam, not wanting an audience, and tapped Legolas's shoulder. Legolas turned to meet a pair of golden eyes. He wondered what the girl was going to saw. To his surprise, Mei bowed to him.
"Thank you, Prince Legolas of Mirkwood, for saving my life twice. I am sorry for insulting you and I hope you will forgive me." Mei said in a humble tone. Legolas blinked in surprise. This human girl keeps on amazing him.
"There is no need to thank me. You are part of the Fellowship." Legolas said quietly. Mei looked up and shook her head.
"I'm afraid that is where you are mistaken. I am not part of the Fellowship. I am only a girl who is helping. I thank you again for saving my life, Prince Legolas." Mei said as she bowed again. By now, Legolas was blushing with the sudden respect from the way world priestess. He quickly lifted the girl up and gave a nervous look at Mei.
"Priestess, there is no need to call me prince. Legolas is my birth name." Mei tilted her head to one side and pouted a bit. Legolas felt his insides churn at that look. Then Mei gave a grin.
"Okay! If I call you Legolas, you call me Mei. Deal? That's great!" Mei said quickly as she grabbed his hand and shook it. Legolas stared in shock at what had happened to him as the girl skipped away. Aragorn watched the whole thing with amusement in his eyes. He casual walked over to his friend. Legolas was still staring at Mei.
"I would be careful my friend. She has a temper and she is from another world." Aragorn said smirking. Legolas snapped his head in attention. His eyes widen at the man's meaning.
"Are you implying that I am lusting after her?" Legolas asked angrily. Aragorn chuckled and shook his head.
"Not at all, good friend. I am saying that you are falling in love with her." Legolas gaped at that thought. Then he grabbed the front of Aragorn's shirt and glared at his friend.
"Do not think such thoughts in your head, Aragorn. It would be years before I would love a child like her."
Aragorn merely looked at him in the eye. He gave a sad smile at his old friend.
"I am afraid, my friend, that it is too late."
Mei blinked as her head became clear. Now, she was able to sense something evil coming from the mine. She looked at Gandalf then at Frodo. Frodo had managed to calm down long enough to explained what had happened. She was personally glad that she would not be cold, however, she did not know if the evil feeling was worth it. Gandalf was sure taking his sweet time in figuring out how to open the door. Mei decided to take a hand at it.
"So you're saying that it says 'the Doors of Durin, Lord of Moria. Speak, friend, and enter'? That doesn't seem so hard. It's like one of those trick questions." Mei said smirking. Frodo looked puzzled. Mei noticed this and tried to explain. "Think about this, Frodo. First off, these are dwarves. DO you think that they are going to do some high magic in opening this thing? No. Dwarves are pretty simple. So you got to think of a way to keep the door from allowing the enemies to enter and yet your own people to get in. So what do you do? You make a riddle that is easy for simple- minded people and hard for those with more complex minds. So that means…" Mei trailed off, hoping that Frodo would get it. Frodo did understand what she was trying to say.
"So all you really need to do is say friend!"
"Right!" Mei said patting Frodo on the back. Then she frowned. "Then why the hell didn't it open when we said friend?"
Frodo thought for a moment before he understood why.
"Gandalf, what is the Elvin word for friend?"
**************************************************************************** *********************************************
"Open Sesame!" Mei cheered as she watched the entry to the mines open. She ran right into it as well as Gimli but she stopped, as her nose smelled something. The room smelled like death. She could hear the others coming in. Mei let her senses go and then her face went emotionless. "Hey, Gimli…does the place usually stink like this?"
Gimli gave a negative answer, as he smelled the room himself. Gandalf cast a light on his rod. Everyone except for Mei gasped at the sight of the dead bodies.
"Something evil hit them here and all over this place. I don't think we're going to find a single living creature here." Mei said calmly. Gandalf gave a nod at that. It seemed that the wizard and the priestess respect each other enough to count on the mission. "So tell me about Moria that I missed out on."
Before he could, Legolas took out an arrow that was in one of the carcasses. His face turned grim as he recognized the arrowhead.
"Goblins." He said calmly. The Hobbits were shaking in fear. They had never seen such a mass of dead bodies. Frodo looked over at Mei, wondering how she was able to take in such a sight. Aragorn and Boromir began to back away. Gimli was still in shock but had his ax ready.
"We need to leave! Get out!" Boromir yelled. The four Hobbits backed out quickly when Frodo cried out. Mei snapped her head to the direction of the cry and saw Frodo being dragged. She gasped and then ran out to help. It was only one tentacle that had him, but as the other Hobbits slashed at it. More of them burst out from the water and smacked the Hobbits away from its prey. Everyone now was outside and trying to save Frodo. The creature then revealed itself as it took Frodo high in the air. Mei then stopped running. She looked at the thing and just stood there, blinking. The others were yelling and trying to get Frodo while the victim called for help. Legolas turned to see that Mei was just standing there. Thinking that she was frighten, Legolas was going to protect her when she ran at the animal. One of tentacles was speeding at her when she jumped up and then used the tentacle to push herself at Frodo.
"It you think that you're going to eat this little guy, you have another thing coming. I eat you for dinner at home!" Mei yelled as she jumped on the moving tentacles. She blocked one that was coming from her right and the jumped to tackle the bound Frodo. They heard a roar and both looked down to see the huge open mouth with jagged teeth. Frodo yelled while Mei stood there looking at it. Then she noticed how high from the ground she was. Then she screamed. "WHAT THE FUCK?! GET ME OUT OF HERE!!! STUPIPD FUCKING SQUID! WHEN I GET DOWN FROM HERE, YOU'ER MINE!! YOU HEAR THAT? YOU'RE GOING TO BE SUSHI WHEN THIS IS ALL THROUGH!!!"
Everyone stopped for a moment as they saw how frighten the priestess was. However the monster took the time to hurl the two into its mouth. All saw the moment and tried their best to stop it, however their thoughts betrayed them as logic informed them that they would be too late.
Sam watched the scene but then closed his eyes. He could not bear the thought of seeing his friend and the priestess being eaten by a monster. Time passed slowly for him when he heard a gasp and the priestess's voice. The words that she spoke were music to his ears…though the words were not so pleasant.
"You are one dead mother fucker. This is the part where I take my buddy and we escape your mouth. Shit…get a mint! Your breath stinks!"
Sam looked to see that the priestess had positioned herself so that her feet were on both sides of the monster's mouth. Her legs were stretched so that the monster was unable to eat both her and Frodo. However, the monster was putting more pressure on her as she tried to push up and away from the mouth while the tentacles that were holding Frodo were pushing down. Slowly she reached into one of her sleeves and pulled out the white jade necklace. Then she held it in her hands, wincing at the pain on her back.
"I've never hurt innocent creatures before, but I'm going to make an exception for you…your sushi butt is mine!"
Mei concentrated and the jade necklace brought out a flash of burning light at the monster. Mei felt the tentacle relax a bit on her back so she grabbed it from behind her and pushed herself off so that she was with Frodo. Then she pulled Frodo from its relaxed grip and then jumped away as fast as she can from it.
"RUN!! WE GOT TO GET INSIDE!!"
The entire group ran into the cave, by this time, the monster had recovered from its shock and roared as it threw itself into the entrance. The stonewalls crumbled at the monster's strength. They ran deeper into the mine while the monster tried to get in. However it fling it's tentacles around and caused the ceiling to crumble. Mei ran, still carrying Frodo to avoid being crushed. After a long ran and silence, they were able to stop. While everyone was catching their breath, Legolas and Sam went up to Mei and Frodo.
"Are you all right, Mister Frodo?"
"I am fine Sam. Thank you Mei."
Mei gave a sheepish laugh.
"Ah, that's nothing. Just my everyday saving people routine!" Mei said cheerfully. Legolas then grabbed her shoulders and shook her.
"You are mad! You nearly died and take this as a jest?" Legolas asked angrily. Aragorn hid a smile as he saw the concern in Legolas's eyes. However Mei looked up at him and smirk.
"Come on, Elffie! You need to live it up! Besides, I couldn't let Frodo have a death by being eaten." Mei said smirking, however her smirk dropped as she realized something. She gave a cry and hugged Legolas. The Elf, who was outraged by the new name, blushed and looked over to Aragorn for help. Aragorn shook his head. Frodo looked at Mei with worry.
"Mei, are you hurt?" Frodo asked. Mei then looked up with tears pouring out of her eyes. She shook her head.
"MY SUSHI IS CRUSHED! NOW I CAN'T HAVE ANY SUSHI TO EAT!"
With that said, she buried her head into Legolas's chest and continued to cry. Legolas kept blushing while the others were laughing at his expense. Gimli muttered about women and how much they cry.
"WHY ME, KAMI_SAMA?"
**************************************************************************** *******************************************

The song that was sang was from Himikoden it's called Pure Snow. Got the lyrics from AnimeLyrics. So That song isn't mine…but I got the cd of it and it's a really pretty song.
