" What happened to her ? " asked Haldir. He looked at the sleeping form of Sakura. Her body
was wrapped with Legolas' cape. Her face contorted into several painful expressions. He then
looked at the others. Everyone held under the arrow, were ashen and sad.
" She was fighting with a demon of fire," answered Legolas. Haldir knew why she was fighting
the demon. It was for her loved one. Legolas. Haldir sent accusing glares at the prince of
Mirkwood as he took Sakura away from him. Her expressions of pain grew worse then before."
What are you going
to do with her ? "
" Something that you've never done for her," H eturned towards the city till Legolas took the
dragon princess back into his arms.
" That's where your wrong," The two began to bicker till Araogrn came in the middle of the
fight.
" Does it matter who takes her to Lorien first ? " asked Aragorn. " She's tired and needs some
care. " Legolas felt guilty. Haldir nodded as did Legolas. They walked towards the city with
silence and the arrows placed down.
" Sakura! no!" cried legolas. His eyes opened and woke up from his meditation sweating.
" Your having that dream again aren't you ? " Legolas turned around to see Aragorn. He was
sharpening his sword. " This is the third time it has appeared. Tell me what is it that
haunts you ?"
" We were battling some orcs," retold Legolas. " I was occupied with some of them. One of
the orcs aimed an arrow for me. She saw it coming and threw herself infront of me. The
arrow hit her instead of me. " Aragorn looked up from his sword. He saw the empty gaze
Legolas was staring with at the ground. " I don't know what to do. "
" Keeping her away won't solve anything."
" So is bringing her with me to watch her die, " spatted the elf. He got up and placed on his
shirt.
" Why do you let these visions haunt you ? " Aragorn placed the sword to his side and turned
his full attention to the elven prince." Maybe it is a sign. "
" Of what ? That we shouldn't be together ? "
" No. Maybe this isn't a vision of what may come to pass. " A skeptic look replaced the elf's
empty one. " Maybe there is something your holding back. " Aragorn waited for him to say
something but nothing came out. He sighed." Like maybe you like her ? "
" Like ? " He pronounced it with unfamiliarity. " It's not what I would call my feelings
towards her."
" Then what is it ?"
" The same feelings you share with Arwen," anologized Legolas. He knew that he loved Sakura.
He knew it in his blood. Yet he couldn't admit it to her. At least when she wasn't awake. A
smile curved on Aragorn's lips.
" Then you need to tell her. " He patted the elf on the shoulder to reassure him. " Or else
these visions might be the end of your relationship with her. " He got up and walked towards
the river. Legolas got up. He walked towards the steps. He heard some rattling in the bushes.
He stopped. Legolas turned his attention to the bush. He knew who it was. A grin appeared on
his face. He quickly jammed his hand into the bush and pulled Sakura up by her cape.
" Your gettng slow, " Sakura smiled. " Why aren't you in bed ? " He released her cape.
" Because I feel fine and ready to take you home, " answered Sakura. She grabbed his arm.
Dizziness began to take over. She swooned for a while. The elf caught her in his arms.
" No your not Sakura."
" I'm a big girl and I can take care of myself," She tried to move him away from her but
she has little strength. " Now get your hands off me!"
" I will if you can tell me how many fingers am I holding," Legolas held up one finger.
" Two ? "
" Wrong," He picked her up. She pounded him but with little strength.
" Let me go hentai ( pervert!) "
" This is for your own good," He walked up the steps towards her room. She stopped pounding
him.
" Your lucky I'm tired," threatened Sakura. " Cus if I wasn't so...tired..*yawn*.. I'd give
you the thrashing..." Legolas stopped infront of the bedroom door and opened it. He entered
the room and placed Sakura on the bed. She winced as her back touched the bed. He rolled her
over to her stomach. Her burns began to bleed through a borrowed tunic she took from an elf.
He took off the shirt to see her bare back covered with bandageds. Legolas blushed but
dismissed the thoughts. His hands reached towards the wounds and began to peal the bandages
from her burns. Sakura's face winced as she felt like her skin was being pealed away.
" What do you think your doing ? " Legolas looked up to see Haldir standing in the doorway.
He held wild flowers in his hand and an angry glare on his face.
" I was trying to take care of her wounds," He pointed to the bleeding scars on her back.
Haldir looked at them. Her bandages were almost unwrapped. Except for the chest area. "
What do you think your doing here ? " He let go of the bandages. " And with a gift ? "
Haldir looked down at the wildflowers bound by a silk ribbon.
" Are those for me ? " Haldir and Legolas turned their faces to Sakura. She looked up from
the bed. A weak smile was on her face. Haldir ignored the argument. He walked towards the
dragon princess and handed her the flowers. " Their beautiful. Thank you!"
" I'm glad that you enjoy them, " Haldir took her hand and kissed it. Sakura began to blush.
Haldir smirked to himself. " I should leave you to rest. " He released her hand and walked
out the door.
" I can't believe you let him do that to you!"
" Didn't you want me to get use to your customs ? " asked angrily Sakura.
" Not that one! Not with him!" A sly grin crept up on her face. She sat up and stared at him.
" Your just jealous of him aren't you ? "
" Like you were with Electra ? " The name sparked a hate. Then calmed down when she saw him
smile. She nodded her head.
" You'll be the death of me. " Sakura winced in pain as the burns made her lie down on her
stomach. Legolas began to strip the bandage off of her. There was silence. A silence that
he couldn't take it anymore. The visions and Aragorn's advice started to gnaw his mind.
" Tell me Sakura, why did you follow us ? "
" I was worried about you," confessed Sakura. " I didn't want to see you hurt. And you seem
to hog all the action. " He smiled at her last comment. " And I was afraid that you wouldn't
comeback. " Sakura's eyes bulged out. She didn't think that the last comment would come out of
her mouth. Legolas was amused with her forwardness.
" And why would that be Sakura ? " She muttered something under her breathe. " What did you
say ? "
" Uh.....um....you see...I...I....I'm attached to you Legolas," explained Sakura. She kept
trying to find the exact words so she wouldn't feel caught. " ...and...I wouldn't...like to
see you....um hurt...or...worst. "
" Is it because you love me ? " asked Legolas. He finished tying her fresh new bandages
around her body.
" Why are you questioning me about my love for you, let's talk about you," Sakura's eyes
widened as she turned back around to stare out at the window. Legolas was surprised by
her words. She loved him ? When did this happen ? He ignored all the other questions.
" Sakura ? "
" I hope you don't take that seriously," babbled Sakura. " I mean, I live with you and I
sort of-" He turned her around and placed his lips on hers. He experienced her lips and
sweet breath. He kissed her one time but it wasn't for real. This one was. He felt her
response and her arms wrapped around him. He wrapped his arms around her back. Sakura
released him and winced in pain.
" Oh I'm sorry," Legolas weakly grinned as he helped her lay on her stomach.
" Legolas, I want to know something," He placed a blanket over her back gently.
" Hm ? "
" I was sort of wondering. In Moria, weren't you glad to see me ? " Legolas didn't want to
tell her. He didn't want to tell her about the visions which he hoped would go away.
" You should rest Sakura, " He grabbed her hand and squeezed it. " Next morn is going to be
an adventure. " She smiled at him and knew that the elven prince didn't want to discuss it.
She laid her head on the pillow and released his hand. Legolas walked out of the bedroom. He
closed the door behind him.
" You know that professing your love to her will not stop the visions from haunting you,"
Legolas turned around to see Lady Galadriel.
" The visions will come true then ? " asked Legolas. He wished that they wouldn't. Deeply
wished that they wouldn't.
" What do you mean ? " asked the elven prince.
" Destiny gives us many paths to cross," answered Galadriel." The vision is just one of the
paths that Destiny offers us." She walked up to Legolas and handed him a vile. " You know
what path to take, Young Prince." Legolas took the vile and nodded at the fair lady.
*Knock Knock* Legolas stood behind the door to Sakura's quarters. He didn't recieve any
answers from the dragon princess. He slowly opened the door with his left hand and walked in.
His right hand was carrying a tray with a pot of hot tead and a small cup. Legolas placed the
tray on the nightstand next to the bed. He looked at the princess. She was still lying in bed
with her bare back towards the ceiling.
" Sakura," called out Legolas. She stired in her sleep. " Sakura." Legolas raised his voice
alittle.
" Hmm," Sakura placed a pillow over her head. He understood why it was hard for the servants
to wake her. Legolas sat next to the princess and began to tickle her sides. Sakura's eyelids
snapped open. She squealed with laughter as the elven prince continued to tickle her. She
tried to fight back but was paralyzed by his tickling." Okay stop stop! I'm awake." He stopped
tickling her. She stopped laughing and stared into his blue eyes. He returned the gesture.
They both were in a trance. Sakura closed her eyes and moved her lips towards his. He closed
his eyes and leaned forward. Their lips met. * Don't cry for me Koishii* the words haunted the
elven prince. His eyes snapped open and he moved his lips away from her's." Daijoubuu Ka ? "
" Hai," answered the Prince. He faked a smile. The princess knew the smile wasn't real but
dismissed it. " I forgot to give you your tea."
" I'm not thristy Le-kun," She noticed she wasn't wearing her proper clothles. Sakura pulled
the cover over her body.
" It'll help you heal your wounds," added legolas. He got up and stood before the nightstand.
Legolas poured the tea into the cup.
" Demo( but), I'm fine," He turned his attention towards her and gave her a stern look. Sakura
couldn't lie. Its not that she didn't have the audacity to but it was because Legolas knew her
so well that he knew when she was lying." Fine! I'll take your baka tea." Legolas smiled and
turned his attention back to the tea. He took the vile out and poured the contents into the tea.
The contents mixed well with the dark amber tea. Legolas took the cup in his hand and handed
the tea to Sakura." Arigatou," thanked Sakura. She took the tea from his hand and sipped it. Her
face soured.
" What's wrong ? "
" Nothing," answered Sakura. " It just taste funny. " He smiled at her.
" You always have something to say, don't you Sakura ? " She drank most of her tea.
" I wouldn't talk Le-kun," Sakura finished the tea and placed it on the table. " Now when are
we going.." The room began to move for her. Her eyelids were becoming heavy. " ..to..to " She
looked at Legolas with a hurt expression." What did you.." The drug finally took over Sakura.
Her eyelids closed and she fell back into her bed. Legolas tucked her black hair behind her ear
and kissed her forehead.
" Forgive me Sakura," He placed the cover over her shoulders.
" Prince Legolas, it's time to go," He looked to the direction of the voice to see Haldir.
Legolas got up and walked towards the elf. They closed the door nad walked down the stairs.
He stopped and turned to Haldir.
" Take care of her for me," requested Legolas." It is imperative that she doesn't leave Lorien
to follow the Fellowship. "Haldir nodded. They continued towards the small docks by the lake.
