A/N: Okay, so I got a little bit more to add today, not much, but hey,
better then nothing right?
Some Time Later..
The battle had been long and hard, but in the end, the orcs had been driven off. The fellowship was reuniting, having been scattered across the terrain by the attackers. All were accounted for except for Legolas, but no one was worried, because he was often slower after battles, needing time to collect his arrows. Aragorn grew uneasy however, when after everyone had been bandaged, he still hadn't appeared. After finding a campsite for the group, Aragorn wandered out into the woods, searching for any sign of his long time friend.
He searched the battle grounds for a while, and eventually found something that could have been elf tracks. Following them, he was led away from the battle site, and he became aware of the sounds of water. Continuing on, Aragorn stumbled upon a well hidden clearing before even noticing it was there. Still in the outer brush, he looked inward, enjoying the beauty. In front of him lay a blue, clean pool of water, fed by a large waterfall, and then slowly seeping down into a stream. Feeling the grime of battle for the first time, Aragorn started to remove his tunic, his missing friend temporarily forgotten.
Suddenly to his right he caught movement in the bushes. Suspecting an escaped orc, he began to draw his sword, only to freeze when he saw the familiar blonde head pop out. Sheathing his sword, he opened his mouth to call out a greeting. He was again forced to freeze though, when the elf stepped out into the clearing, completely exposed. Aragorn blinked repeatedly in shock when Legolas turned his back to him and headed towards the pool. With out wasting another moment, Aragorn spun silently and fled back to camp. He had seen something that had frightened, confused, and angered him at the same time. He could think of only one solution though, and he needed the help of the others. Arriving back at camp, he re-told all he had seen, and was met with disbelief, even though they offered to help. With the first steps of his plan complete, Aragorn and the rest of the company sat and waited for the return of the elf.
A/N: Whew! That sounded like it was going to be slashy for a moment. Close- call. So just what did Aragorn see that was so horrible? Well it must have been more then just the bum of a particularly attractive elf..hehe
