Sina Maranweamin...?

Chapter Four- WHAT!?!?!?

Usagi quickly packed all of her belongings and stuffed them into her sub-space pocket. Tomorrow was the day that the Fellowship was leaving to destroy the ring and she was NOT going to stay here and worry about the darkness. Usagi stopped when she came across her last item: a picture that was bordered in a beautiful silver frame. It was a Christmas picture of her and her senshi and they were all standing underneath a Christmas tree, smiling. Usagi and Mamoru were helping Chibi-Usa put up the angel on top of the tree; (much to her persistence) Hotaru was putting the tinsel on it, Haruka the lights, Michiru the garnets, Setsuna, Makoto, and Minako were putting the presents under it. Rei and Ami were holding a tray of hot chocolate and cookies for them all.

"Minna, I miss you every passing moment that comes by. I just wish that you were here with me enjoying this peaceful place. Will you ever be reborn again? I know that Hota-chan is suppose to since she is my other half but when will she?"

Funny. Today was December 24 which also meant that it would be Christmas Eve back in her world and Christmas would be tomorrow. A single tear rolled down Usagi's cheek and it splashed onto the glass of the picture. Usagi wiped the tear off and packed it away before more memories could be remembered.

Usagi stared outside with a sad expression. She opened the door to the balcony and went out. Usagi closed her eyes when she felt the soft gentle wind blow past her and carry her shimmering hair as it went its way. Her eyes opened and they searched the night sky for the moon. She finally found the soft glowing ball of light and the moon glowed brighter and smiled down at the girl to greet her child.

"Mother, I wish that I knew what to do. The darkness is growing and is getting stronger with every passing second. Why do I have a feeling that it will be stronger than Chaos if he has the ring in his possession once more...?" Usagi whispered to the moon with a silent prayer in her words while hoping that her mother would hear her. Then Usagi laughed a bitter laugh.

"Is this my destiny mother? Is this why I am here, to save Middle Earth like I'm suppose to just because I'm Cosmos? Is this suppose to be my destiny mother, to live a lonely life and have everyone I care about just die!?" Usagi yelled out to the moon, tears stinging her eyes and said softly, " When all I want is to be free........."

The moon heard and if possible, it grew sad as its light dimmed a little.

Drip!

Usagi looked at the small glowing light that was near her feet.

"Kore wa nani?" Usagi said to herself, slightly in awe. She bent down and picked up the small ball of light. Once it was in her hands the light dimmed down to show a crystal in a shape of a teardrop that hung on a silver chain. Usagi held it up in the moon's light and inside she saw a spectrum of rainbow colors swirling inside of it. Usagi's eyes widened and her mouth formed into a shape of an 'o'.

"Teardrop of the Moon." Usagi whispered in awe as she recalled the object in her mind. She remembered that the teardrop had special magical qualities to it but what were they? All she knew was it could heal and the rest she forgot. Usagi racked her mind for the rest but only came up with blank. A knock came on her door and Usagi put it around her neck and stuffed it under her dress.

"Come in!"

The door opened to reveal Arwen.

"Celebme'a, what was it you wanted to talk to me about."

Usagi sighed.

"Arwen-chan, I've been doing a lot of thinking and... I'm going on the journey with the Fellowship tomorrow."

"I understand. " Arwen paused. " Father, Elrohir and Elladan will not be very happy about this. They care for you as much as I do, Celebme'a and do not want you hurt."

"I know but I just can't stay here and keep worrying about the darkness without doing something about it. It's just that I have this strange feeling that something bad is going to happen to them but I don't know what and, and, and what if the don't succeed in destroying the One?" Usagi exasperated and she threw her arms up in the air at the last part.

Arwen looked at the girl with smiling eyes and shook her head as she watched the girl rant and rave about her foreboding feeling. She walked over to Usagi and put a hand on her shoulder, causing the girl to look up at the older women.

"First of all, you must calm down, Celebme'a." She instructed the girl. Usagi took a deep breath and did as the older women asked.

"Now, I am willing to let you go on this journey and I shall not speak of this to father or our brothers. But if they ask of your whereabouts, I will not lie to them of where you went."

A large smile broke across Usagi's face and she hugged the older women, who nearly fell backwards from the unexpected move. As soon as she regained her balance Arwen hugged Usagi back.

"Arigatou gonzai-, er, I mean thank you sooooooooo much Arwen-chan!" Usagi said ecstatically before she let go.

"You're welcome Celebme'a. Tomorrow's journey will be long and harsh and I have heard that the Fellowship will be leaving early in the morning. You will need much rest if you want to keep your energy up."

Usagi groaned.

"Why is it that you always seem to have everything early in the morning? I sometimes think that the elves are related to the Venusians. They always have business first thing at the crack of dawn so then they could have the rest of the day for fun."

"Sometimes it is best to get all that are unwanted done first so that you can have the rest for more joyous times."

"I guess so... G' night Arwen-chan." Usagi said and gave out a big yawn.

"Quel esta, Celebme'a. May your dreams be sweet." Arwen said softly and she turned on her heels and left the room.

Usagi put on her nightgown and went to bed. She stared up at the ceiling for a long time until her eyes closed when the Greek god Morpheous covered all of Arda with his blanket, though he wasn't really here in this world.

~*~*~

Usagi woke up when the morning sunrays gently danced across her face. She racked open one eye slightly and closed it again. After a few minutes passed Usagi slowly sat up in the bed stretched and yawned a great big yawn. She summoned a watch from her sub space pocket and looked at its face with sleepy eyes. Usagi did a double take.

'I'm laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate!' She screamed in her head and she quickly took a bath and got dressed. She put on a loose black fighting pants, a light gray almost white tank top and black laced up ankle length boots. (Tsuki- I know that it's not what the people in Middle Earth wear but...it's my fic!) Usagi brushed her hair and put it in a tight braid so that it only went half past her thigh. She ran over to the door but stopped when her hand touched the handle.

"I can't go out without a disguise. Someone is bound to see me. What am I going to do?" Usagi said and bit her lips. 'Geez, at times like these I wish that the Clow cards were real and I could just use the Illusion and the Silent cards to get me out of here.' *she said sarcastically then snapped her fingers when an idea came to her head. She took out her Ginzuishou and willed herself to become invisible.

Quietly Usagi snuck out of her room and made her way to the entrance without letting anybody know she was there at all. A short distance away Usagi saw the Fellowship walking away from the city as they traveled on Rivendell's road. Which was good enough for her since she didn't want them to find her coming with them. Once she was in the thick forest Usagi put her invisibility shield down and followed them without letting the group suspect a thing.

For hours the Fellowship walked through the forest. Usagi trudged on with a bored look on her face as she sang every single travel songs she knew.

'59 bottles of sake on the wall. 59 bottles of sake! Take one down, pass it around...Kami-sama!' I think I'm going to die of boredom! I wish that something exciting would happen. This is waaaaaaaaaaaay too boring.' Usagi thought. She stopped when a twig softly broke from underneath her foot. 'Uh...oppsies.' Usagi closed her eyes and stood still, hoping that the Fellowship didn't hear the noise she made. Unfortunately one did and immediately he knocked his arrow into his bow and the other members gave a curious look at the elf.

"I have heard something coming from behind us." Legolas said and he searched the area with his keen elf senses for anything suspicious.

"I have heard nothing." Aragorn said.

"I have heard nothing also. Perhaps you are just becoming paranoid." Gimli said brushing the elf off.

"No, I have indeed heard the sound of a twig break. I have also had this feeling that someone has been following us ever since we have left Rivendell." Legolas said.

'Thanks a lot elf-boy.' Usagi thought angrily and sighed. 'Mind as well show myself or they might kill me or something.'

A rustle from the nearby bushes caught the Fellowship's attention and immediately they drew their weapons and surrounded Frodo so that they would protect him. It was a tense moment for the Fellowship as they waited for the enemy to come out. Legolas shot his arrow into the bushes and a feminine yelp came out. Usagi came out with Legolas' arrow in her hand and an angry look on her face. Luckily Usagi was able to grab the arrow just in time before it struck her thanks to her senshi abilities.

"Lady Celebme'a?" They all chorused.

"What was with the arrow! I could have been killed!" Usagi yelled at the men, especially Legolas.

"I'm very sorry Lady Celebme'a, I didn't know that it was you. We thought that it was and enemy trying to get the ring." Legolas said sincerely.

"Well you're all forgiven except for you elf-boy. Why don't you check before you shoot that thing. And please don't call me Lady, it makes me feel too old." Usagi said.

Legolas raised and eyebrow at the name while the others snickered.

"La- I mean Celebme'a, may I ask why you are doing here?" Aragorn asked.

"I'm coming with you that's what."

"Are you sure? This is a very dangerous quest for a lady like yourself." Borimir said with a hint of annoyance.

"Dangerous? I really don't think so. I've faced a lot more things that could make the worst monsters in your nightmares seem like beautiful dreams, Borimir." Usagi said.

"And what would that be I pray tell?" Legolas inquired with a little curiosity.

Usagi just bowed her head to the ground with a blank look in her eyes as the memories flooded into her mind.

"See, she probably hasn't seen of any such evil before. She probably has just seen something like a murder. I think that it would be best if was sent back to Rivendell." Borimir scoffed.

Usagi looked up at the man with fury in her eyes. She opened her mouth to retaliate but a wise voice cut her off.

"Let her come." Everyone's head turned to Gandalf, who was smoking his pipe as he looked at Usagi.

"What!?" Borimir said in shock. Gimli, the hobbits and Legolas looked on the fight with interest in their eyes. Yup! Looks like Borimir was going to get it alright judging by the pissed off look on Celebme'a's face.

"I agree with Gandalf. Besides, we are too far in travel to turn back and go to Rivendell now." Aragorn said. He knew that look on the old wizard's face. That he knew something that the rest didn't.

"Thank you Gandalf-san, Aragorn-san!" Usagi said and she went over to their two older men's sides.

Borimir looked at Gandalf and Aragorn with an incredulous look on his face.

"What!? Surely you don't mean that! Sending a girl such as she on this perilous journey!? Why that would be like... like sending weak soldiers into a battle with the strong!" Borimir sputtered out.

Usagi glared at the man before her.

"Weak? WEAK!? I'll show you weak!" Usagi yelled and summoned a bow in her hands.

Borimir looked at her unimpressed.

"So what? You were able to summon a bow. Any magic user can do that trick."

Usagi's rage grew with each word he said to her.

She pointed the bow towards Borimir and drew the string back. Legolas, who looked upon Usagi with curious eyes, widened when he saw her draw back an empty bow. He being an expert bowman of many years knew of what would happen if an empty bow was drawn back.

"Celebme'a, don't!" He cried out but Usagi didn't pay any attention to the elf as she was solely concentrating on getting back at the man.

"Mars..." The instant Usagi said that word her bow flared up into a burning fire that could burn all others but feel cool in her hands.

"...Flame..." An arrow made of pure fire was placed in where the arrow would have been had she knocked one in.

"...Sniper!" Usagi yelled out and the attack and unleashed the arrow towards Borimir. It flew towards the man and it caught his right pant leg on fire. Borimir yelped and he desperately tried to put the flame out.

The rest of the Fellowship stared at her in awe. How did she summon an arrow of fire when there was nothing in it before? They looked at the bow in her hand that was still burning brightly, never scorching her beautiful skin as it did. The fire around the bow disappeared and it showed that the flames did not scorch it before Usagi had put it away.

Usagi stared at the man with hate in her eyes. How dare he and that elf bring up those memories that she had so tired to put past her during these months she had stayed on this place! For that she was going to hate the two for that and others if they wanted to know of her past.

"If I were you Borimir, it would be wise if you would keep your mouth shut. I do not wish to speak of my past and what I have done. But I will tell you this, during my life I have seen many things and yes, they can put the monsters in your own nightmares to shame. True, I have seen murder and the deaths of many in the most cruelest ways that have not been known to any man. I have also seen many of the evils that roam about the universe in hopes of conquering it for themselves and I have fought each of the nightmares and defeated them. There are more... but I do not wish to talk about it." Usagi said sadly.

Everyone just stared at the girl before their eyes. 'What had she gone through?' was the one question that was on everyone's minds except for one.

"Ahh... what's your favorite food?" Pippin asked, in hopes of lessening the tension that was lingering in the air.

Usagi smiled. "EVERYTHING! I love food and I will eat anything! Especially cake! All except carrots. They're so plain and icky tasting." Usagi said and scrunched up her nose at the certain veggie.

The Fellowship chuckled at her antiques except for Borimir who glowered at her.

"How old are you?" Frodo asked with curiosity. She confused him for she had an ageless wisdom like the elves at times.

Usagi turned her head toward the hobbit and looked at him with sharp eyes.

"That... is one of the things that I would rather not talk about." Usagi said. Frodo fidgeted from her eyes. She turned her head away from him and looked at the men with curious eyes.

"Eh... shouldn't we be going now? I mean it seems like we're wasting precious time here and from what I know every second counts if we are going on this journey." Usagi said with seriousness in the last part.

"Of course let's hurry on." Aragorn said and he took lead of the group as they continued on the journey.

Usagi walked behind him and to her right was Gandalf. On her left was the elf Legolas, whom she grew to dislike, who often seemed to disappear from her side and to the back to keep on guard for any enemies. Behind Usagi were the four hobbits and the Borimir who was glaring at her back in hopes that she would burn and muttering something about Usagi being a weak women and that she was a foolish girl. Not that his glare could do much anyway and Usagi decided to ignore his comments about her.

~*~*~

Meanwhile...

Elrond looked at his daughter from the table before he had started on his lunch.

"Arwen, where is Usagi? She would've woken up by now had she missed breakfast."

"I have not seen her all this morning either. Where do you think she is?" Elrohir asked.

Arwen had an uncomfortable look in her eyes when they mentioned about the young girl.

"She went with the Fellowship to destroy the One."

Silence. *crickets chirping*

Silence.

Silence

More Silence.

"WHAT!?" all three males yelled as they got out of their seats.

"Why would she go on that journey? Does she not know that if the Dark Lord ever finds about her powers then he will just forget about the ring and go for her instead? All of Arda will be doomed then" Elladan said.

"We must inform all of the scouts at once father. We cannot risk her life in these dangerous times. We should also inform Lothlorien too if she comes their way." Elrohir said and he looked towards his father who said nothing.

Elrond sat back in his chair, put his elbows on the table and leaned on it while his hands were supporting his chin.

"No."

His two sons looked at him incredulously.

"What!?" they both said. Elrond sighed.

"I think that she had already planned on going with them before. Knowing her she probably knew of those facts and decided to go with them when she overheard of my conversation with Gandalf that the eye was set on this place to protect us."

"Yes, but father--" Elrohir was cut off.

"It will be best. Remember that she is a Lunarian and she has the power of the Cosmos. Therefore she is the most powerful being on Arda. It would be a great help to the Fellowship and in turn for her."

"How so father?" Arwen questioned.

"At the meeting yesterday, I have caught her staring at one of the members of Fellowship for quite awhile." Elrond said with a smile on his face.

The offspring's of Elrond all broke into a smile. Maybe it would be good for her and that she could finally find someone that would break her out of her sadness.

Authors note- ........... This chapter wasn't what I expected it to be. I had something entirely different in mind. I guess that my imagination took over. Also, Borimir fans, I'm sorry if I made him seem like a big jerk. He kinda seemed like it to me in the movie but not so much in the book. But then again the movies always have a habit of twisting the plot and other stuff around, ne? And to Lego-chan! *hugs her Legolas plushie.* I love you no matter what. Yeah so now uh... REVIEW!!!

*I just couldn't resist putting a little bit of Card Captor Sakura in there. Those of you who know of this anime will know what I'm talking about.
