( Disclaimer: See the previous chapters, as I don't see the point in writing this as NOBODY in their right mind would believe that I own anything from Lord of the Rings.

Aragorn gulped and slowly raised his head to get a view of his attacker, knowing fully who it was. An orc could never be that stealthy. He looked into the furious eyes of his best friend.

He reached up and gently tried to push the bow and arrow away, but to no avail. Legolas's hand didn't move. He was silent, probably waiting for Aragorn to explain himself.

"Legolas, could you please stop pointing that thing at my forehead?" he asked quietly.

"No."

"Are you going to kill me?"

Aragorn was surprised that Legolas had waited this long. Normally, if anyone posed a threat to his sister, they were dead before they could speak a word in defense.

"Perhaps. Are you going to tell me why you thought it was a good idea to make a move on my sister?" Legolas answered, his voice laden with hostility.

"I didn't make a move on Hana!" Aragorn protested without thinking.

"So you're blaming her!" Legolas shouted, his voice echoing throughout the treetops.

"I'm not blaming anyone! It just happened," the ranger desperately tried to explain.

"It just happened," Legolas repeated skeptically.

Aragorn nodded.

"So you're saying you have no feelings for her?" the elf continued.

The ranger paused. Saying that he had feelings for Hana would most likely get him shot, but lying would break his heart.

"I love her, " he finally admitted.

"Aragorn, she's my little sister! You cannot!" Legolas protested angrily.

"Her relations make no difference to my feelings," Aragorn pointed out gently.

"I don't matter!?" Legolas screamed. "First you tell me that my sister is some kind of whore, and then you tell me I don't matter!"

"I didn't say either of those things. Hana is not a whore and you do matter," Aragorn desperately tried to console.

"If I matter, then why are you dating her!?" Legolas asked furiously.

"I'm not," Aragorn urgently replied. "We just kissed. Once,"

"Will it happen again?" the elf asked suspiciously.

Aragorn shook his head.

"Not if you don't won't it to," he replied sadly.

"Then I forbid it. If you even touch my sister again, I won't hesitate," ordered Legolas.

He finally withdrew the bow and arrow.

"But we have to go and get the Necklace of Lamar," protested Aragorn

"And I will be there watching over you."

Aragorn nodded weakly, dreading seeing Hana.
