Yugi in Middle Earth

(Fire Pendant

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-gi-oh or lotr. But I do own the story and the minor characters I make up.

What happens when a certain tri-colored hair boy gets transported to Middle Earth with his yami? A SERIOUS fanfic, but doesn't mean that it isn't funny.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Wow almost eighty reviews * sobbing with joy * this is the most I've ever had for any of my stories. Sorry it took so long to update, just to tell you, this is probably not going to be a yaoi, I'll experiment with those in another fic. I'm not going to name certain fellowship members yet but you should know. Council is kinda like the movie's and mixed in with the book's.

Chapter 10: A Rather Interesting Council

Yugi got up with a yawn from his room. He rubbed his hand over the soft linen sheets of the bed and crawled out. Yami had taken him to go to bed early from the feast, letting Ryou go back to his room when he wanted. A huge white shirt he had on to use as pajamas would have passed for a dress on him fluttered slightly in the morning breeze from the open windows.

He trotted over to the balcony only to find Yami back in his regular wear and leaning against the railing in deep thought.

"Yami? What's the matter? You've been like this since last night." asked Yugi. His other looked at him and smiled gently.

"Nothing Yugi, it's just that there has been a lot of things on my mind. Go and change into some proper clothes." assured Yami. Yugi cocked his head in concern (like a cute little puppy! ^_^) and ran back into the room.

"Bakura! Wake up we have to go to the Council thing." said Ryou shaking the spirit violently. Bakura groaned and sat up.

"What's the matter with you boy? What if I don't want to go?" demanded Bakura, he opened one eye and glared at the boy.

"Then I'll just drag you there myself." mumbled Ryou dishearteningly.

"I'd like to see you try." snapped Bakura with a smirk as he stood and reached for his pair of jeans.

// I wonder what this Council will be about? // asked Yami.

/ Maybe they figured out a way to send us home! / exclaimed Yugi / Ahh!/

Yami bit down a smile, // Be careful while you're dressing Yugi, I don't want to have to carry you to that Council because you knocked yourself out while losing your balance putting on your pants. //

/ Yes nissan [1]. / said Yugi sarcastically wrinkling his nose disdainfully at his yami's remark.

There was a knock at the door. Yugi put on his jacket and opened the door with a wide smile (Yugi's almost always smiling isn't he?). Outside, there was a man with dark wave hair. Short stubble was on his chin and he looked at Yugi with piercing grey eyes.

"Um, hello." said Yugi at the tall stranger, Yami came back from the balcony and stood behind his hikari [2].

"Good day, I am Aragorn. Lord Elrond told me to bring you and your friends to the Council." said the man courteously.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll go get Ryou and Bakura. You and Yami can introduce each other!" shouted Yugi as he ran down the hall.

Aragorn and Yami looked at each other and didn't say a word until Yugi disappeared inside Ryou's room. Aragorn cleared his throat. "You must be Yami then I presume."

Yami nodded and replied, "I am." (nice conversation they're having huh?) the two men looked at each other again.

Yugi reappeared with Ryou in tow. Bakura stalked along grumbling about something and giving dark looks at Yugi and the pharaoh.

"Aragorn, this is Ryou, and that's Bakura." chirped Yugi.

"Then I guess we're ready to go to the Council aren't we?" asked Aragorn gruffly. He swept his cloak around him and strode down the hallway with his four charges following.

They stopped an open archway and onto a patio. A lot of chairs were arranged in a semi circle. A couple people were already there like some elves, dwarves, a nervous looking man, and Frodo. Nearest to the group were three chairs that had Elrond and two other elves. (Okay, I'm not really good at this description I know, just think of the movie's Council of Elrond)

Ryou sat down next to Frodo, Bakura, after rolling his eyes at the hobbit took a seat next to his vessel. Yugi thought it wise to keep Yami and Bakura separated so he sat in between them.

Yami was sitting next to a willowy blonde elf in a beige velvet robe. Green piercing eyes watched him as he sighed and closed his eyes. What a strange man.hmph, they can be very bothersome at times. Thought the elf half closing his eyes.

The ring was so close, he could almost feel it. Yami gripped the armrests of the wooden chair until his knuckles grew white. Unknown to the spirit, the Council had just started. A dwarf started to talk about what was happening in their lands and others joined in discussing far away lands and troubles of home.

Yugi listened intently. Wow, black riders, orcs.whatever they are, and evil things? Sounds like we came here at a bad time. Thought Yugi, he moved his hand onto Yami's and squeezed tightly.

That snapped the pharaoh out just in time for him to see Frodo rise from his chair and reach under his shirt, bringing out that Ring.

Bakura's eyes widened. There was great power originating from that tiny object. If he got his hands on that, there could be no telling what he could do. The world would be at his very feet! He almost laughed at the thought of King Yami kneeling before him meekly. All he had to do was walk up to that midget and snatch it away. Those stupid mortals wouldn't even have the chance to react!

But there was something else.evil, dark and malicious. It was even greater than his own, not that he considered himself evil, that was an insult. I'm just trying to get invincible power. Is that evil? Questioned Bakura to himself, he smirked at his doubts but for some reason they still held him back.

Slender white eyebrows rose as they looked at Yami. The Game King was growing pale and looked like he was being sorely tormented or tempted by something. Bakura had never in all his life seen him so shaken.

Crimson eyes caught brown and Yami glared at Bakura and appeared to return to normal. I don't need that Ring. I have my own and its power is even greater! I bet that Ring can't steal souls or help me summon my pets. Snorted Bakura leaning back lazily in this chair.

Elrond stood up "This is why you have been summoned here, we must decide on a choice on how to destroy it."

"But what does this have to do with us?" demanded Yami. He had been able to control himself and shied from the Ring's call.

"I'll tell you in due time!" snapped Elrond, Yami bit his lip and dropped into his seat.

"Well what are we waiting for?" growled a reddish-brown bearded dwarf. He pulled up an axe (he kinda 'borrowed' it from his friend if you know what I mean) and charged towards the Ring that was set on a short pillar. The axe burst asunder and the dwarf flew backwards, the rest of his kind scrambled up to help him.

"Now weapon that we now possess can destroy the Ring." explained Elrond in a steely voice, "The Ring was made in Mount Doom, there, is the only place it can be destroyed."

"How about a machine gun?" muttered Bakura.

"What?" asked Elrond, his elven senses had caught every single word.

"Nothing." snarled Bakura, he actually had no clue what a machine gun was, all he knew was that it had immense firepower and had heard Ryou talking about one from a movie with Joey (Wow, that movie must have been like rated R. Ryou's not as gentle and delicate as he looks huh?).

Or maybe Tea's friendship speeches can break it. Gosh, they always kills me, well almost, I learned how to tune her out. Thought Bakura.

"Now we must find the ringbearer one whose shoulders shall rest the responsibilities of destroying this great evil." finished Elrond. The whole Council grew quiet. Yugi could hear the bird songs and crickets chirping in the background.

"What do you they're gonna do?" asked Ryou.

"I don't know but I think we're going to find out." replied Yugi.

A tall stout man who had his face in his hand looked up in disbelief, "One does not just walk into Mordor. There are more than orcs that guard the Black Gate. Things that never sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watching." he said, shivering in excitement or fear.

"This really sounds bad, I still don't get where we come in though. So far this Council had nothing to do with us!" exclaimed Ryou softly to Yugi.

"Didn't you hear anything Lord Elrond just said? The Ring must be destroyed." snapped the elf next to Yami. He (the elf) had stood up and was looking at the stout man almost murderously.

"I suppose that you think you're the one to do it." demanded the reddish- brown bearded dwarf outrageously.

"What then? What if Sauron takes back what is rightfully his!" demanded the man again. (Huh, that sounds a lot like Merik when he was after the pharaoh's power)

"I'll be dead before I see the Ring in the hands of an elf!" bellowed the dwarf. Right then, all the elves arose in fury at the dwarf's remark and the dwarves rose to their comrade's defense. Everyone started arguing and bickering loudly.

"Well, for one thing, dwarves and elves certainly don't get along!" shouted Yugi over the tumult. Ryou nodded.

"I'll take the Ring! I'll take the Ring!" shouted a voice, it was Frodo, he had risen out of his seat and was approaching the pedestal where the Ring was, everything grew dead quiet again, "Though I do not know the way."

Stupid imbeciles, mortals are certainly intolerable. I hope I can get rid of them, all when I come to complete power. But that can pose a problem cause then I won't be able to rule over anyone but Ryou. Thought Bakura frustrated at the moment, yet he was oddly amused. It wasn't everyday you see fruity people with long hair arguing with fat bearded dwarves and an old man, and all of a sudden a pint sized guy coming up and taking up a huge unbearable job.

"I agree with Yami.for once, what in the name of Ra does this have to do with us!" spat Bakura, getting tired of this dark haired elf smiling and talking nicely to this hobbit. They were all too soft for their goods.

Elrond glared at Bakura. "I was going to get there before you interrupted. Now, while you are here, you all can at least do something of use. With the ringbearer shall go a group of people to help him on his journey." Bakura snorted at this pathetic idea, "If we don't find a way to send you back to wherever you came from, you'll all go with him. But I shall spare the children of this. When you come back (if you come back) we might have a spell found and you can go home!"

"You can't possibly think you can make me go on this ridiculous gallivant!" smirked Bakura. Everyone stared/gaped at him in shock, anger, disbelief, etc. for taking the subject of the Ring so lightly and for disrespecting Lord Elrond so openly.

I think that was a bad idea, but too late to back out now. Sighed Bakura to himself. Ryou got out of his seat.

"I'm very very sorry for my brother's behavior, it's just that he is quite distressed with our disappearance from home and is always a bit rude when distressed, he is just hiding his feelings from people." lied Ryou hoping Bakura wouldn't kill him for this after the Council. Elrond looked a bit perplexed but accepted the explanation. There were some smiles from some people in the Council as Ryou pulled Bakura back to his seat and murmured a few assuring words.

Oh Ra, my hikari can actually lie! And he is a heck of a good one too. Thought Bakura. Well, he saved my ass so I guess I can spare him this once, but no more!

"Well now that we have gotten over this interruption," said Elrond. Yugi had to grab Bakura's arm to hold him down but no one really appeared to notice for they were too engrossed in the subject of the Ring (except for Yami and Ryou). "My messengers shall be dispatched throughout Middle Earth for news of the Black Riders and to find out more about these orcs prowling the shores of the Fords."

"This Council is adjourned." another dark-haired elf next to Elrond, Yugi thought he heard someone call him Erestor before though.

Yami, Yugi, Ryou, and Bakura got up stiffly (they had been sitting there for about half the day) and walked back to their rooms.

* * * to be continued * * *

[1] aibou - means partner, other, something like that. I don't exactly know

[2] hikari - light. Like yami means dark, hikari is light got it?

* Oh yeah for those of you who don't know Ryou is the 'good' Bakura. And Bakura is his yami. Ryou's real name is Ryou Bakura. In the American anime dubbed part they just have his name be Bakura and that's it.

I'm sorry if people a mad at me for kinda making fun of Tea. She's not exactly one of my favorite characters but I don't hate her either. Okay I know I made Yami act all weak and everything, but hey how would you act if you were 'sorely tempted or tormented' by the One Ring? Bakura's going to be pulled by it a little more.

You guys keep me so motivated! Gonna check Edo's website to see if he has some of Malik/Marik's cards on there. Is Rishido in the Japanese version Odion in the American version, just wondering.
