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.

Okay I updated. Sorry it isn't much. Don't have much time. Have chamber, then a recital, then homework. Darn! But I'll work on a longer chapter for next time. Hmmm, first two people who might be able to guess who comes next to Middle Earth will be on my fav. Author's list. And oh yeah, just because they're coming next doesn't mean they're coming soon.

Chapter 13: Explanations

The elven scouting party was frozen in horror and shock. Limbs were lying all over the place and so were some melted heads. They were orcs so they didn't really matter to the elves, but whatever had done this to them must have been very destructive. The forest floor was soaked in the orc's dark blood and the air smelled repulsive.

"None escaped," noted Glorfindel walking around the edge of the used-to-be orc encampment, "There are no footprints leading out, none. It looks like someone has done our job for us.

"We must report this to father." said Elladan firmly, his silver-grey eyes were hard, Elrohir bent over and picked up a scrap of cloth; it matched the blue that that little human boy Yugi was wearing for his jacket.

Glorfindel began rounding up the scouting troop back to Rivendell. "Elladan, Elrohir, come on. This news can't wait." shouted the blonde Elda sheathing his sword. The two twins ran to catch up, what strange happenings in the normally peaceful Imladris.

Elrond sat in his study pacing impatiently. The scouting party had gone out half an hour ago in search of the orcs and hadn't returned, he had already finished tending to the boy; whiplashes covered him. What in the name of Manwe had happened? Of course scouting all of Imladris would take a while but how hard was it to see or hear those filthy yrch?

Pounding on his door startled the Lord of Rivendell. "Come in." he bade. The door was opened quickly and his sons and Glorfindel came in.

"We found the orc camp," said Glorfindel.

"Were you able to destroy all of them?" asked Elrond calmly.

Elladan and Elrohir cut in, "That's the strange part. They were already gone. Torn to pieces, their blood is right now soaking into the forest floor where they had lay. Not one escaped."

"Perhaps it is wise to go and ask Yugi what happened, he seemed to be in the middle of all of it considering his condition when he came back." said Erestor, the councilor had walked in unnoticed before.

"No, all will have to wait. He is asleep. Maybe we can ask the brother." said Elrond sharply, there was silence. Elrond took in a breath, "Erestor, take me to Yugi's borther, his name was Yami right?"

Erestor nodded and walked to the door. Elrond got out of his chair and followed.

Yami and Bakura managed to get into Rivendell unnoticed; most of the guards had left for some reason. "I'll walk to my own room." announced Bakura jerking away from Yami and nearly falling over.

"Suit yourself." shrugged Yami as he walked away. When out of sight of Bakrua he started running frantically. Was Yugi alright? He swept open the door to their room and was shocked to find Elrond sitting next to his aibou's bed.

"Where have you been?" asked Elrond without any hint of suspicion.

"I was trying to keep Bakura from collapsing because we had ran all the way back here." lied Yami, rather unskillfully but it was better than most people. Elrond seemed to be staring him through. Annoyance bubbled inside Yami, why was this elf so distrusting of him and Bakura? * Well, you do wield a hefty amount of Shadow Power. * he thought to himself.

"What happened to your brother here?" asked Elrond standing up and walking up to Yami. Yami was about a head shorter than the elven lord, counting the hair. This made things a bit harder to handle.

Yami felt like fidgeting with nervousness; he hadn't lied to anyone ever since he dropped a bowl of embalming oils on the High Priest when his thirteenth birthday. Wait a minute. . . did he just remember something of the past? He tried to bring back anything from his muddled mind but nothing of his past came into thought. Elrond watched all this rather passively.

"Bakura and I went after the orcs when Yugi was captured." confessed Yami.

Elrond nodded and made a sound for him to go on.

"So we followed their trail. Bakura sneaked into the camp while I created a distraction and grabbed Yugi. Unfortunately, an orc slammed into Bakura and winded him so he was tired. A few yards away from all the chaos that was happening Bakura's brother Ryou came riding his horse and leading ours. We told him to take Yugi back here and we followed quickly. That's all that happened while we were there sir." lied Yami swearing in his mind to Ra that he would never lie so unprepared again.

Elrond circled Yami and watched him carefully. By now, Yami was looking past the elf and worriedly at Yugi. Small bruises had formed on the boy's face and Yami saw bandages wrapped around his small form.

"Thank you for you participation. I will leave you alone with your sibling" said Elrond, it was impossible to read the lord's face so Yami couldn't tell whether he accepted the lie or not. Slowly Elrond exited the room.

* There is something being hidden from me. I saw it in his eyes. * thought Elrond as he returned to his study. He looked around on his desk to see if there was any paperwork to take care of; nothing. His messengers had still not returned from where he had sent them. There was a small note stating that Elladen and Elrohir had left for Lothlorien minutes ago to ask for advise and aid for the trouble of the Ring from Lady Galadriel and Lord Celeborn their grandfather and grandmother.

He leaned on the table wearily. Why had he not left for the Western shores years ago and avoid this conflict? The answer stared back at him, because he wasn't willing to. Middle Earth needed protecting and Men needed all the help they could get. After all of this and when things quieted down he would go. But for now he was still needed. Elrond sighed and left for his chambers. He could take care of everything else tomorrow.

Thud! Ryou jumped as his yami came into the room and fell over with the sound of an over-ripe tomato (A/N. couldn't resist! ^_^). "Yami! Are you alright?" asked Ryou kneeling down next to Bakura. His other only replied with a groan. He was asleep. Ryou sighed and started pulling him towards the bed. It was hard to lift him up; Ryou wasn't really the muscular type of person; but it was accomplished after a few unsuccessful tries.

* Awww, like a baby. * Ryou thought, couldn't resisting the aspect of teasing his yami just a bit instead of the other way around. (A/N. Remember, no yaois. This is not a shonen-ai either.)

Night was falling so Ryou just climbed into a soft and squishy armchair to sleep.

I know, I know short and corny chapter. Too short. But I tried. School work is really bogging me down. I wish I could go on the net more. I'm starting to get a writer's block on this fic, so anyone with suggestions speak up! That would be the bomb and help A LOT! I went on Edo's website to check out some more cards that everybody has. It really helped for the info part of my fanfic.

Hey! I'm kinda co-authoring/co-editing something with another author. Her pen name is: Lady Pheonix Fire. Read her Yu-Gi-Oh! fic and review it (She's kinda new to this whole thing so just help her along and say thanks to her Editor: Stagwen!)
