I'm watching 'The Mummy' AND 'Yu-Gi-Oh' right now, so this could get a little weird. My little brain isn't very bright, it picks the worst times to be inspired. Yes, I will be writing through the Christmas break, so don't fear.

"AIYA! GET OFF ME!" Kiki screamed. She rolled in his grip, turning to face him. Kiki tucked her feet underneath herself and kicked out with all her considerable strength. She hit what she was aiming for; Boromir rolled off her clutching his genitalia.

"EHHAAAAAAAAA!" (Like the mummy)

"Serves you right. See women can too fight!" Kiki so wanted to stick her tongue out at him, but that was childish.

"*gasp* AHHH, yeah." The poor man was quivering on the floor. Everyone else just stared at her.

"I'll take the ring!" Said Frodo, but no one was listening, "I'll take the ring!" he exclaimed again. This time Kiki heard him.

"Good man, Frodo. I don't think anyone else would have the strength to take it. And, if it will be the will of the council, I'll go too. Safety in numbers, you know." Said Kiki

"You have the aid of an excellent hand fighter, now I offer my sword for your protection," Said Aragorn, determined not to miss the battle of a lifetime.

"You have my bow for your service." Said Legalese

"And my ax!" Exclaimed the dwarf.

"On this journey, you will need more than just muscle. I'll go to, if not to protect for the journey itself." Said Gandalf, much to the surprise of Kiki.

"Hey! Mr. Frodo! You're not leaving without me, are you?" Poor Sam couldn't manage without Frodo for a day.

"OI! You can't leave us behind." Said Merry

"You'll have to tie us up in a sack to send us home!" Said the ever-buoyant Pippin.

"*gasp* Mee…*sigh* too…" whimpered Boromir from the floor. All was said and done; who was going, who was staying so the council was dismissed, just as soon as Boromir could walk again.

"So, Aragorn, how does one become a ranger?" Kiki was out of her destructive, kill mode, so she, like everybody else, engaged in conversation.

"That is a secret for only rangers to know, not …women. Not to be impolite, but I don't think you would survive."

"Well, if I can survive daily beatings, even grow strong enough to best my peers, and go to school, and raise two kids on my own all at the same time, and not be tough enough to survive your training. Wow, that must be tough."

"You got in fights daily?" Aragorn was generally surprised. She looked dainty, not like a hardened warrior.

"Sure, see here," she pulled up the leg of her pants revealing several scars, and pointing to one sort of zigzagged that ran up to her knee and disappeared under the cloth, "Is where a guy tried his hand at knife fighting. I caught the blade in my leg and he tried to rip the blade up to my stomach. I killed him before he could get me."

"Wow," was all Aragorn said. He cautiously traced a finger over the scar.

"Twenty-three stitches."

"Maybe you're not as weak as I thought."

"Looks can be deceiving." She said cryptically. Boromir stood up, still clutching himself. Quivering, the man walked out of the council, followed by everyone else.

~That evening~

Aragorn hit his hear against the bedpost. How could he be so stupid! Thump. Kiki was OBVIOUSLY not normal, thump, so how could he underestimate her? Thump. Never underestimate your opponent. Thump. It was the first thing he learned becoming a ranger. Thump. He felt something for her, thump, but he couldn't tell what. Thump. Was it loathing? Thump. Contempt? Thump. Brotherly love? Thump. He didn't know.

~ Change to Kiki ~

Kiki stood in the hall to the bedrooms she and her siblings were given. She listened hard. Thump…thump…thump. A rhythmical pattern, someone hitting their head on a wall or other wooden object, but nothing else. Softly she crept up to the door that led to her Jenny's room, cracked open the door and looked inside. A beautiful white room, filled with soft rag dolls and colorful ribbons. A vanity took up the far wall, good solid oak wood. Carved into the entire thing was a woodland scene, rabbits wandered around the foot while at the top of the mirror a hawk flew. The light was out and Kiki knew that Jenny wasn't asleep. Jenny was afraid of the dark. Kiki wandered in, and Jenny whimpered.

"Shhh, little one. Don't you cry, and I'll sing you a lullaby." Kiki said in a singsong tone. Wearing a nightdress (for there were no pants to go with masculine nightshirts) with light from the hall streaming out behind her, Kiki did look like a fairy. As she approached the little girl, she realized that Jenny didn't recognize her. Always before Jenny had a nightlight to comfort her, now in the dark her sister had transformed into a beautiful enchantress of the night.

Well I'm almost out of the house of Elrond. I'm soooo sorry for not posting sooner. I've had a really busy week. I'll post again tomorrow, if I can, to make up for not posting sooner.
