Chapter 3- Many Meetings.

It seemed like days came to a pass when Glorifindel came back to Rivendell on his swift elven horse. With him he carried a near dead Frodo who was about to pass into the shadow Realm where the Nazgûl lived in. He quickly jumped off of his horse and rushed Fordo to the House of Healing where Elrond was waiting. 10 minutes later, Aragorn and the rest of the hobbits entered the room Fordo and the Elves were in once they arrived in the city. The hobbits huddled close to each other, praying that their friend will be cured of the darkness.

Usagi was walking along the hallway with Gandalf when she saw a bright white light coming from underneath one of the doors. Her curiosity piqued and she walked over to the door and peered inside it. Inside she saw Elrond sitting by a bed tending to a sick person, murmuring a spell in his ancient tongue. His aura was glowing white and he looked like he was in deep concentration as he used his magic to heal a child-like creature that lay on the bed. Usagi also saw that Aragorn along with three more of the creatures a few feet away from the bed.

"I wonder what oyaji-chan doing? And what are those people that are with Aragorn? They look like children." giggled Usagi.

"They are called Hobbits, Celebme'a, they are also known as halflings for they are half the size of us. Though I thought them to be forgotten at first for they tend to hide when any Big people come to their villages. Elrond is trying to heal the young hobbit over there on the bed for a Ringwraith has stabbed him with a Morgûl blade. Soon it will turn him into one of then and he shall serve the Dark Lord." Gandalf said and let out a heavy sigh. It was a tragic day when he heard the news for he had grown fond of the brave halfling ever since he met him. (Tsuki- I'm talking about fond as in friendship type kay.)

Usagi turned to the worried wizard with an ageless look in her eyes.

"Do not worry Gandalf-san, the young hobbit will be all right. I'm sure that oyaji-chan will be able to save your friend." Usagi said and then in a happy voice, "Can we go get some food? I'm REALLY hungry."

Gandalf laughed, the girl's appetite was as big as a hobbits' if not even bigger.

"Dinner will be held soon, Celebme'a. Until then I think that it would be best that we wait."

Usagi pouted. "Awwwww.... do we have too?"

Gandalf nodded.

"Alright... I guess I will." Usagi sighed. "Gandalf."

Gandalf looked at the girl. "Yes Celebme'a?"

"I...no, nevermind. I'm going to go to the garden. If you want you can join me."

"Thank you for the offer Celebme'a but I must be meeting someone soon. I shall meet you later."

"All right." Usagi turned and left.

Gandalf smiled. Usagi was sometimes strange to him. Probably like all others before him, he had been rather astounded at the fact that a human like her can be so pure and Elven-like when many are contaminated with greed and selfishness. (Tsuki- Gandalf doesn't know that Usagi's Lunarian or Cosmos. Just a regular human.) But she was different. He narrowed his eyes in deep thought. When she had spoken to him that Frodo would be fine, she seemed to undergo a drastic change. It seemed that the air around her turned to one of royalty and confidence. Her voice changing from a carefree and innocent type to one of great wisdom and mysteriousness. He snapped out of his thoughts when the door to Frodo's room opened and out stepped out Aragorn, and the three hobbits.

"Gandalf!" The hobbits cried out.

"We thought that you were dead." Merry said.

"Where were you? When you didn't show up at Bree I thought that something terrible might've happened to you." Sam said.

"Well I'm right here now and well thank you." Gandalf said.

"Yeah, well...y-you shouldn't have scared us when you weren't at the Prancing Pony when you said you'd meet us there." Pippin said and puffed out his chest.

"Puff out that chest even more then I just might decide to turn you into a chicken." Gandalf said and pointed his staff at the youngest hobbit. The others laughed as Pippin slumped his chest and looked down at the ground. He did not want to be a chicken no siree! Not after what he and Merry did to Gandalf the last time. Well, lets just say that they were hiding from the raging wizard for quite a few days when they had learned the hard way of what happened when you get under his skin.

~*~*~

Four days later

Frodo slowly opened his eyes and squinted them a little when the bright morning light greeted him.

"Where am I, and what time is it?" Frodo said to no one in particular as he stared at the white ceiling.

"You are in the House of Elrond. It is ten o'clock in the morning on October the 24, if you want to know." A wizened voice said.

"Gandalf!" Frodo cried out and sat up. He saw the old wizard sitting by the open window while smoking his pipe.

"Yes, I am here. And you are lucky to be here too. A few more hours and you would have been beyond our aid, but you had some strength left in you, dear hobbit." Gandalf said.

Frodo lay down again on the soft bed, fully awake now as the memories of the journey came back to him. From the meeting of the exiled elves (Tsuki- I forgot what their names were.) to being stabbed by the Ringwraith when he put on the Ring. But there was one thing that confused him.

"What happened? Why didn't you meet us?" asked Frodo.

"I'm sorry. But I was delayed." Frodo watched the wizard taking slow puffs from his pipe as he was recalling a memory. Frodo looked closer and saw that there was a hint of betrayal on his face. This piqued the hobbits curiosity wondering what had happened to the old man.

"What is it Gandlaf?" Frodo asked.

"Nothing..." Gandalf replied softly.

'I wonder what happened to Gandalf as he was coming here?' Frdo thought.

"Frodo, Elrond wanted you to attend a meeting once you are back to full health. Until the meantime, a big fest is going to be held for your awakening. You just might find someone familiar there also." said Gandalf as a twinkle appeared in his blue eyes.

Frodo looked at Gandalf with a curious look on his face.

'I wonder who I shall meet? Perhaps I will met Bilbo again. I miss him so much. But I cannot help but think that something more will happen tomorrow. Is this my destiny? To go off on this adventure like Bilbo to bring the ring here? I hope that it is.' Frodo thought.

~*~*~

Usagi pressed her ear to the door. Inside she heard Elrond tell Gandalf about the One ring and how the race of Man was dishonored when Isildur decided to keep the ring when he should have destroyed it.

'I wonder what happened after that.' Usagi thought.. She pressed her ear harder on the door when she wasn't hearing anything on the other side... except for two pairs of footsteps coming her way. Usagi panicked. She got up to run but then she tripped and fell face flat on the floor. Usagi bit her lower lip as the tears started to form in her eyes.

'I will not cry. I will not cry. I will NOT cry. Don't you dare break your promise Tsukino, Usagi.' Usagi said in her mind as she sat down on her knees.

"Celebme'a, what are you doing here?" Gandalf asked, surprised.

Usagi stiffened and turned around with a nervous look on her face.

"Oh nothing. I was just passing by and I tripped again." Usagi said as she laughed nervously.

"Celebme'a," Elrond said in a stern voice. " I would like it if you told me the whole truth. You have heard our conversation did you not?"

Usagi bowed her head in shame.

"Hai." Gandalf raised an eyebrow at her response but didn't say anything about it.

"Oyaji-chan, about that meeting tomorrow..."

"Absolutely not! You will not attend that meeting." Elrond said and a hard look entered his eyes.

"Demo!"

"My answer is no Celebme'a. It is for your own good."

Usagi gave him her all famous puppy dog eyes treatment.

"Pleeeeeaaaasssseee!"

"It is still no."

Usagi started to look more pitiful than before and Elrond still looked unaffected by it. When Usagi saw that he was not going to say yes, she let out the ultimate weapon. Usagi's eyes (if possible), grew larger than before, watered them and pouted her lips even more and made them quiver. Elrond's eyes softened.

"Fine, but you must sit with Estel." Elrond sighed.

"Hai!" Usagi said as she smiled happily.

"But..."

Usagi looked at her stepfather, some of the Hope in it vanished.

"...you will NOT go on the journey to destroy the One Ring. Understood." Elrond said.

Usagi closed her eyes and reopened them. Her eyes flashed silver for a brief second but the two didn't see it.

"I understand." Usagi said.

"Good. The meeting will be tomorrow early in the morning so don't sleep in if you truly want to go." Though Elrond's face looked impassive, his eyes were shining with laughter.

Gandalf just looked at the pair with an amused looked in his eyes. It wasn't everyday that you saw someone loosed up a serious elf like Elrond.

"Celebme'a, don't you have your elven lesson with Arwen today?" Elrond said.

Usagi's eyes widened.

"Oh no! I totally forgot about that! Ja ne oyaji-chan, Gandalf-san!" Usagi got up off the floor, picked up the hem of her skirt and dashed outside to where her 'sister' was waiting.

Gandalf looked turned to Elrond, surprised. "Well, that isn't what you see everyday."

"Actually, it is when you live here. But I just wish that she didn't come the meeting tomorrow. She is unlike any other being that I have ever known and I am afraid to lose her if she ever were to go on that journey." Elrond said.

"Yes, I can tell that Celebme'a was special when I first saw her. She is like a shining beacon of light in these dark times and she brings Hope wherever she goes and to every person she meets." Gandalf said and he turned his head away from the elf and to the direction that Usagi ran in.

"She is more than that and whatever meets the eye, Gandalf."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Nothing. I will tell you when the time is right."

Gandalf sighed. "Elrond my friend, sometimes you can confuse me to no end."

~*~*~

Usagi fidgeted in her chair as she looked around the council. There were so many different people here! Elves, Dwarves, and Men were all gathered around in a circle though they seemed to distance themselves from the ones who were not of their race. On one end of the circle, Elrond sat in a beautifully carved chair, dressed in his best robes and the circlet on his head gleamed in the morning light. Everyone was here...well everyone except for two people that is. The hobbit Frodo and the wizard Gandalf. After a few minutes of waiting the two finally arrived and the meeting began.

"Strangers of distant lands, friends of old. You have been summoned to answer the threat of Mordor. Middle-Earth stands upon the brink of destruction. None can escape it. You will unite or you will fall. Each race is bound to this fate, this one doom. Here, my friends, is the hobbit, Frodo son of Drogo. Few have come hither through greater peril or on an errand more urgent." then Elrond began to introduce everybody that was here. But one man particularly caught her eye.

'BISHOUNEN!!! Oh my God he's such a bishie! Bishie, bishie, bishie, bishie, BISHIIIIIIIEEEEEE!!' she screamed in her head. Out side she looked impassive but inside she had hearts in her eyes at the site of the pretty boy. ( Tsuki- What? There is still a Usagi in there in spite of her sadness. And I'M NOT GOING TO TELL WHO IT IS! So that means it could be Legolas, Borimir, or one of the hobbits.) She stared at him for awhile when the picture of Mamoru popped in her head. Usagi blushed and quickly tore her eyes away from the man, hoping that no one had seen her prolonged stare. Mamoru was and always will be the only man for her even though he and her friends came in her dreams one day and told her to move on....right?

After the introduction everyone told their tales about the darkness that has risen. It was not good at all. It came to a point when Elrond had told the group about the One and how it came to be. Everyone there listened attentively at the elf-lord's story. Usagi frowned. 'So that's how it happened. *sigh* Was I to come here because it was my destiny? I really hope not.' she thought.

"Frodo, please bring forth the ring." Elrond said as he turned his head to Frodo.

Frodo got off of his chair and slowly made his way to the pedestal that was in the center of the circle. He put his hand in his pocket and drew out a plain, but beautiful golden ring and set it on the small platform in the middle of the group and quickly sat back in his chair next to Gandalf. Frodo felt that a part of him felt relief when he departed with the ring as if the burden on his shoulder was taken off. The other part, however, wanted to take the ring for himself only and nobody else.

Murmurs and whispering spread like wildfire through the whole crowd. The rumor that the Dark lord has risen again once more WAS true. This brought discomfort to everyone.

Then man from Gondor named Borimir looked at the ring with lust in his eyes.

"So it is true then, The One Ring truly does exist." He murmured out loud.

"It is the doom of man." An unknown person said to him.

Borimir didn't heed the older mans words and stood up.

"It is a gift. A gift to the foes of Mordor. Why not use this Ring? Long have my father, the Steward of Gondor kept the forces of Mordor at bay with the blood of our people are your lands kept safe. Give Gondor the weapon of the enemy. Let us use it against him!" he said.

"You cannot wield it. None of us can. The One ring answers to Sauron alone. It has no other master." Aragorn argued. Borimir turned and faced Aragorn with disgust in his eyes.

"And what would a Ranger know of this matter?" He nearly spat out.

An elf stood up. "He is no mere ranger. He is Aragorn, son of Arathorn. You owe him your allegiance." he argued.

Borimir looked at Aragorn with surprise etched on his face.

"Aragorn? This is Isildur's heir?"

The elf confirmed this and Aragorn told him to sit down in elvish. The elf reluctantly obeyed. Borirmir looked at Aragorn and an angry look replaced his surprised one and sat back down again in his chair.

"Gondor has no king. Gondor needs no king." He said softly yet angrily.

"This ring is the one thing that Sauron really wants. If it falls into the hands of darkness once more them we may not have a chance at winning this soon-to-be war. We must destroy it before Sauron claims it once more." said Elrond.

"Aragorn is right, we cannot use it." Gandalf said as he stared intently at the ring.

"You only have one choice. The ring must be destroyed. But..." Elrond was cut off when Gimli, son of Glóin, hefted his axe and downwards at the ring. His axe immediately broke in two upon contact. "...it cannot be destroyed by any weapon that has been forged on Middle-Earth. I have heard that dragons fire can destroy this but alas, there are no more dragons left in the world and Smaug, as you have told me Gandalf, was killed by the men of the lake. We have no other choice but to throw it back into the fires of which it was forged. Into the fiery depths of Mount Doom then will Sauron be defeated."

Then right them and there everyone, save Elrond, Frodo and Usagi, got up and started to argue about who would take the ring.

Usagi stared at the ring. There was just something about it that drew her to it despite the fact that it had killed so many and the bloodshed and sins that were piled up on so thick that it could never be washed away. A faint whisper caught her ears. Usagi narrowed her eyes as they started to get louder with each passing second as the people in the council fought.

'Ash nagz durbatulûk, ash nagz gimbatul, ash nagz thrakatulûk agh burzum-ishi krimpatul.'

These were the words that she heard. Usagi stared intently at the ring. She saw flames grow brighter and darker as the argument heated even more. Usagi turned her head to her right and saw that Frodo was applying pressure to his temple in hopes that he could get rid of the migraine that was hitting his head like hammers. Usagi put her hand on his shoulder and he looked up at the girl who was smiling at him with a peaceful look on her face. Frodo felt the pain in his head lessen at the tranquil sight. She gave him a reassuring nod and Frodo got out of his chair.

"I will take the ring." He said softly. No one heard him as they people fought.

"I will take!" Everyone stopped their debate and turned to look at the hobbit.

"I will take the ring to Mordor. Though I do not know the way." Frodo said softly.

Gandalf had a look of sadness enter his eyes and sighed before he turned to the young hobbit. He had hoped that Frodo would not choose to do this but it seemed that Destiny decreed that he was to.

"I will help you bear this burden, Frodo Baggins, as long as it is yours to bear."

Aragorn walked up to Frodo and kneeled down so that he was Frodo's height.

"If, by my life or death, I can protect you, I will. You have my sword!"

Then Legolas walked up to then and held his bow out.

"And you have my bow." He said.

"As you have my axe!" Gimli said as he held out his weapon out in front of him and meet with the elfs longbow.

"You carry the fate of us all, little one. If this indeed the will of the council then Gondor will see it done." Borimir said as he too, held his sword in front of him to meet with the others in a pledge. Though it seemed to Usagi that he was going with them more for the ring instead.

Usagi smiled. 'You also have mine too, Frodo. I shall come with you on this journey for the stake of this world is in your hands like it was with mine. I will come with you even if it means defying oyaji-chans wishes and I shall do everything in my power to help you though my powers here are weaker.' Usagi said to no one out loud.

Sam looked out of his hiding spot from behind the bushes and ran up to Frodo who looked surprised to see him here along with Elrond.

"Ere! If Mr. Frodo's not going anywhere without me!" Sam said and he crossed his arms across his chest and looked like he was going to defy anyone who resented him.

"No indeed. It is hardly possible to separate you, even when he is summoned to a secret council and you are not. Very well." Elrond said.

Merry and Pippin looked at Sam and then at each other as they saw Sam. They too, ran out from their hiding spots from behind the pillars that are behind the council and to Frodo and Sam.

"Hey! We're coming too!" Pippin said. Elrond looked at the duo as if he was going to kill them. Well maybe not kill but he looked like it.

""You'll have to send us home tied up in a sack to stop us." Merry said and he imitated Sam.

"Anyway, you need people of intelligence on this sort of mission... quest... thing." Pippin said.

Merry raised an eyebrow at Pippin's statement.

"Well that rules you out Pip." He said and Pippin just smiled and nodded before he comprehended what Merry said.

Elrond looked at the group.

"Nine companions. So be it. You shall be the Fellowship of the Ring." Elrond said.

"Great. Now, where are we going?" Pippin asked the group.

Author's Note- XD Ack! I stink when trying to put it my words when writing a great book like this. *puts her hand to her chin and starts to think* Hmmmm.... who should be with Usagi? While I think of that I will put any scenes that the mystery person has alone with Usagi as he for now. *goes off thinking again.* BTW, ....... REVIEW!!!!!!!!! *ahem* Gomen for my out burst.
