Duo: and we're back, from outta space, I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face, I should have-

*anime sweatdrop*

Hotaru: hello? We are here to tell a story, not sing about some love sick people!

Duo: *growls*

Bs-chan: *sighs* ill just get through the disclaimers now so we don't have to hear this....

Usagi: she doesn't own Sailor Moon

Squall: whatever...(translation: she doesn own lord of the rings)

Chibi Trunks: she doesn't own uuuus!

Mirai Trunks: but she owns this plot!

And I got this information by a Nicolla Fairbairns-Gamgee: Serenity is not the first half-elven, I didn't know that there really were any in the first place, thank you for telling me that, and a Rei: that a half-elf gets to chose basically whether he's in the race of humans or men. Now I understand....just for both of u and for readers....just say...that she has already chosen her elvish side...so she is immortal...unless killed by grief, or steel. THANKS AGAIN!

~*Her Own Free Will*~

~~~^~~~ Last Time

I heard a bark from the lead uruk-hai, and four arrows were released from our group. Mine, Legolas's, and Aragorn's each hit an orc. While Serenity's Hit a uruk-hai and went through it and hit the orc behind it. Killing them both. 1041 to go! After the outrage, the thousand, I mean, 996, orcs ran at us.

~~~^~~~ Serenity's POV

I mentally cursed everything. I hate fighting, but it seems like I have no choice. I have been trained by the best, thanks to my father, in both wizardry, elvish, archery, and just normal sword fighting. But I still hate it!

I guess it was predestined that I would have to go against my father and this Sauron. I rolled my eyes at this thought. Oh, yeah. Me? Against Sauron? I would kick his ass up to the moon.

I let loose another arrow, which went through three orcs. I kept my right eye on the approaching evil, and my left eye stayed on Frodo.

Aragorn and Gimli waited their weapons ready. Hotaru and Legolas were still firing off arrow after arrow, taking down many of the orcs heading for them. Sam was in front of Frodo, making sure no harm would come to him. I doubted he will keep the orcs from Frodo, but it was still noble of him. He would give up his life for a fellow companion, interesting. I would have to ask him about this friendship thing later, I can only relate to it with Hotaru, but she's more to me a younger sister who I watch out for than a friend. Friend, what a strange word.

I couldn't go down there, the orcs would recognize me immediately, even being cloaked in darkness, they could still feel my energy. I can't go down, if I did, it would blow my cover, and everything that I had worked to achieve would be destroyed.

I shot off an arrow to an orc who was heading towards Frodo. He looked up to me and smiled in thanks. I nodded at him in response, and quickly shot another arrow at another orc sneaking up to Frodo. It seemed they wanted to pick on Frodo today. I guess I had to go down, for the safety of the young hobbit, I could risk being caught. I rolled my eyes, took a deep breath, and jumped down next to him.

As soon as I landed, all of the uruk-hais looked to me in amazement, and fury. And the orcs, astounded by the uruk-hais interest in their enemy, looked towards me and gasped.

I grinned resentfully, "Hi."

All of the uruk-hais growled, I guess they know who I am. Damnit! Cover blown! One of them charged me, and I silenced it by throwing one of my few daggers into his heart. I grimaced and pulled it out, and I wiped off the dripping black blood.

I narrowed my eyes and quickly searched the scene for the boss uruk-hai. Boss uruk-hai. Top uruk-hai. King uruk-hai. I'll just stick to boss. He was nowhere to be seen. No offense intended of course to the guys out there. But did anyone ever noticed that they sort of resemble guys? Oh, who cares, I'll just find him and kill him. That would show them about prejudice of girls! How rude! Wait! If I go out to find this boss, I'd have to leave Frodo here, all by himself, without me here to protect him from all these slimy and disgusting orcs.

Dammit! I'll have to stay here! I sliced through another orc and noticed Frodo had been forced away from me. He was walking backwards, fighting the orcs by him. Still he had only brought down 20 orcs. Pretty good for a young hobbit. Silencing another one, I moved towards Frodo, only to be stopped by another uruk-hai. I guess they figured out my plan to protect him. Great, perfect, ruin my great and well thought out plan. Thanks a lot stupid brain, thanks for helping me. I threw another stupid dagger, quickly picked it back up, and started to run over to Frodo. It all happened right after I ran over to him. An arrow was coming straight for me. I watched it come, and the orcs gasped. I could feel eyes from the bushes behind me, daring me to show my shield.

I sighed as the arrow came in contact with it. All the orcs stopped in mid battle.

Legolas, Aragorn, Gimli, Hotaru, Sam, and Frodo finished off the orc they were battling without another thought. I watched as the others eyes widened and their view strayed behind me. I squeaked as a hand snaked around my waist, and a sword came to the neckline of my throat.

(A/N: I'm tempted to stop here...but look at the size...its barely over a page...)

~~~^~~~ Hotaru's POV

"SERENITY!" I screamed not being able to stop myself.

The others looked at my questionably. I growled as I chopped through three orcs in front of me with a swing of my glaive.

I noticed that one of the uruk-hais started to walk up to Serenity and the other person, he was old, very old. He had a long grey beard and he wore a light purple-ish robe. I remember, Serenity saved his life once, with my help, of course. I realized he did not know who we were, so that's why he was trying to kill her.

I got over to Serenity and looked at her, her body stance was tight, but she held herself upright. I turned around and narrowed my eyes at the beast coming toward us. He looked different than the normal uruk-hai. Instead of little hand prints on his face, he had one large one. And his hair was in a pony tail on top of his head. I knew instantly, this was the boss uruk-hai. The orcs in front of him parted and let him and the uruk-hais behind him through.

I brought my glaive in front of me, ready for anything. I noticed that the others were trying to get through, but were stopped by the rest of the orcs, there weren't that many. So they decided to battle their way through. I kept my eyes on the one in front, but I still heard the battle way behind them. Behind the one uruk-hai, there were 5 left. So, it seems we had only killed four of them.

The front one growled, "Give us the girl, wizard."

"And, why would you want her?" I could feel the man's glare, but I kept my eye trained on the boss.

"It was a direct order from her father, because she ran away," he spat clutching his sword.

"She's not going with you," I narrowed my eyes, getting into the fighting stance.

"And her little friend too," he started walking towards me. I stuck out my glaive. He swatted it away and threw me into a tree.

~~~^~~~ Serenity's POV

"HOTARU! NO!" My eyes widened and the thought of little Hotaru hurt just killed me. I started to go after her, but the wizard who was keeping hold of me, wouldn't let go. I growled and I felt my anger boiling up.

Unable to control myself, I felt my powers throw the wizard back into a tree. I didn't even look back as I run over to Hotaru. I slowly picked her up and set her on her feet, "Thank you, Sere-"

She stopped when a hand fell down onto my shoulder, and whipped me around.

"So," the uruk-hai hissed. "You will come back with us willingly?"

I cocked my head to the side, "Now why the hell would I do a foolish thing like that?" I smirked as his eyes widened and his grasp on my shoulder tightened.

"I will kill you," he narrowed his eyes.

"But, isn't that going against Saruman's orders?" I chuckled at his anger, "Now, let go of me."

"And what will you do if I don't?" My hand quickly snaked its way over to my dagger.

"THIS!" I clutched my dagger and quickly brought my hand up, which came right to the uruk-hai's 'heart.' Its eyes widened in realization as the poison from the tip starting to take him in and out of consciousness.

The uruk-hai growled, "Kill her anyways!" he slumped to the ground, death claiming him.

Beautiful dreams, shattered souls

"Kirei yume, kudaku hito(1)," I started to chant, and I stuck out my palm and faced the evil entities, "Kirei yume, kudaku hito," I could faintly hear Hotaru scream at the others to get out of the way, "Kirei yume, kudaku hito," I felt the power building up within me, and the wind coming towards my face, "Kirei yume, kudaku hito." As suddenly as the power had come, it vanished, leaving the evil to ponder what had happened. My eyes snapped open and a wonderful calmness swept over me as I whispered, "Yasumi de heion(2)."

~~~^~~~ Hotaru's POV

I heard the calm voice from Serenity and shielded my eyes. I am a girl of darkness, I do not envy light.

I felt the hairs on my neck stand on end as the bright light swept past me. I heard the screaming pains of agony from the orcs and uruk-hais. I let a small smirk play onto my face. Serenity could have done this from the beginning, but she does not like using her powers, it reminds her, of her parents. Her mother she does remember, but her father is never a good thought.

I kept my eyes shielded even after I heard all of the moans quiet down. I had to wait for her to speak, because if I looked and the light was still there, well let me just say, it wouldn't have been pretty.

"Hotaru, you may look now; the light is gone," I heard Serenity's sweet but weakened voice.

"Are you all right?" I asked knowing she would reply with an affirmative.

She nodded and looked over to the one who she, accidently out of rage, threw back into a tree. I looked over and my eyes widened, there stood Gandalf the Grey!

"Gandalf!?" Serenity gasped as he pointed his staff at her.

~~~^~~~ Serenity's POV

"You're here to kill me?" I asked dully.

I winced, I'm still weak from the powers I used.

"Serenity," he narrowed his old eyes.

It was just then that the campers walked up, "Serenity?" Frodo asked. "But her name is Usagi!"

Aragorn just widened his eyes in realization. "YOU!"

I winced and bowed my head, letting a lone tear slip down my cheek. "Please, I mean you no harm, all I want to do is help!"

"HELP!?" Gandalf lost his composure. "HOW CAN YOU HELP!?"

Sam looked on confused, "Now wait a minute here, she saved Mister Frodo's life many a time. And how can you say she can't help?"

Aragorn narrowed his eyes, "It's not because of her skills, Sir Hobbit. It's because of who she is, and what she's from!"

~~~^~~~ Hotaru's POV

I couldn't take it any more, here we were, trying to help, and then the go accusing Serenity of being evil, "And what the hell does that have anything to do with this!?"

"Hotaru," I looked over to see Serenity's peaceful eyes blazing with sadness. "They know too much, I must tell them who I am, and what I am."

I growled but nodded as she took off her cape. My eyes widened since I hadn't even seen her without her cape since she escaped from the castle, 1 year ago.

Her silvery hair with streaks of blonde fell down to her waist and even since she hadn't washed in a week, (a/n: eeeeew) it was still as sparkly as ever. She raised her head and I looked into bottomless orbs of sapphire. And she was wearing a long silver dress which she had pinned up so it was just above her knees so it was easier to battle with. There were black trimmings by her collar and it was spaghetti strapped, and it curved perfectly at exactly the right spaces.

I looked to the reaction of the others, Aragorn and Gandalf were nodding knowingly. Legolas's face was mixed with awe, confusion, and alertness. And Frodo and Sam were breathless. Serenity looked over to me and I removed my cape also, letting my shoulder- length black hair fall out and into my evil violet eyes. I was wearing a black dress that fell down to my knees.

"My name is and will always be Hotaru, that is my title given to me," I growled.

Serenity spoke, "And I am Lady Serenity of Isengard." Legolas's, Frodo's, and Sam's jaws fell.
