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.

Hiyah! New chappie 'kay? I'm very proud of myself. I hope it's a bit longer than the others.
Sabrion: I'm proud of you too Fire Pendant. Guess who's her latest obsession? Rishid, Malik's constant bodyguard. I don't know why.
Chapter 14: Getting Ready
A month passed, December was here and Yugi was soon up and about. No one would have guessed that this youth had been through the capture and torment of orcs. The weather grew chiller and Yugi and Ryou spent their time inside playing with the hobbits and dueling. In a while they had gotten a bit bored and started teaching the hobbits how to duel. But in the end they gave up, the hobbits would always just be looking at the pictures pointing out elves and wizards and then asking what the point of the game was.
"Beat you again Ryou!" laughed Yugi.
Ryou looked at his friend in defeat, "Yugi that's like what? The seventh time already?"
"Yeah, but you did beat me a couple times." said Yugi falling down on his bed with a thump, he sighed, "Man, I've never been so bored in my life. I'm even wishing that Kaiba was here so maybe we could verse someone different in a duel."
"I agree with you. Thing's have gotten a bit dull ever since we got here." commented Ryou.
Yugi sat up, "Hey Ryou, you never told me how you got here. I told you about how I got to be here, so what's your story?" asked Yugi.
Ryou sat on the bed beside Yugi and brought his knees up to his chin. "Well, it all started when I was on my way back from the arcade. Bakura was bickering with me the way we have been ever since he came back. While he was talking, a car swerved by obviously in a hurry, but I didn't notice it. Bakura took over for a brief moment and had me fling myself on the sidewalk. It just so happened that in the process of me landing that I banged my head against the light-post."
"Ouch!" exclaimed Yugi rubbing his own head, banging your head into something that hard was not pleasant, Yugi knew from his own experience a few years back.
"So I guess I went unconscious. When I woke up, Bakura was standing over me fussing like a mom. He noticed I was awake and immediately started yelling at me again about where we were. I was sitting in front of a wooden pole on one of the elven balconies. Bakura started running, I guess he was still a little on a sugar rush after all that soda I drank at the arcade. I started following him and next thing we know it, we bump into you and your yami."
"Oh, that's interesting." said Yugi sitting up, "I wonder what Yami and Bakura are doing. Don't you think it's kinda weird that they haven't gotten into a single fight after that thing with the. . ." he trailed off and glanced around as if scared a little bit.
"Remember, Elrond summoned them again. Let's go check on them. Knowing my yami he wouldn't be able to stand listening to another lecture." said Ryou getting up. Yugi followed.
They were on their way to Elrond's office when they heard voices in another room up ahead. Yugi and Ryou ran and leaned against the wall so they wouldn't be seen. "Since you two seem to be void of weapons. I guess you should chose some. The armory in Rivendell is more than filled with the work of our smiths." said a voice they knew instantly as Elrond's.
"So we get to pick whatever we want?" asked Bakura, Ryou and Yugi held their breaths and took a peek inside the room. Luckily, Elrond's back was to them and so were their yamis.
"Whatever that you so may need." replied Elrond emphasizing need. Yami nodded and started looking over the swords that were resting on pegs on the walls. He picked one up and tested it in his hands, swinging it as if in battle. It made a cool swish through the air and Yami smiled, this would be for him. The red and gold finish on the hilt was a perfect touch.
"I will take the sword." said Yami thanking Elrond. The elf looked at him and handed him a scabbard connected to a belt.
Bakura on the other hand was looking at the knives. He already had a pair of long knives with black grips on the handles. They were inlaid with silver designs and inscriptions. He picked up two more small daggers and stuck them in his boots. But that wasn't it. A knife that could have been a sword if any longer was attached to his belt in its sheath. "Well I've got what I need." smirked Bakura. Elrond sighed and assented, he pursed his lips and Bakura took a thin coil of rope and girt it on his belt.
"For future needs," explained Bakura with a grin Elrond shook his head ever so slightly as if losing his patience for the tomb robber.
"Now that you are finished and we have met with the company. You may go back to your rooms and prepare for the long journey." said Elrond, "You are dismissed,"
"You are dismissed." mocked Bakura wrinkling his nose as they walked back to their rooms, "What does he think we are? His servants?"
"Bakura, he's the lord of this place and we are the guests. He has authorities over us." justified Yami. Bakura rolled his eyes.
"Well at least I have myself some nice gear." grinned Bakura patting the handles of his two long knives that were now strapped to his wrists beneath his sleeves, "And what do you have, just a measly sword. Don't be expecting me to save you life."
Yami cleared his throat as they reached their rooms. He opened the door to his and saw Yugi and Ryou sitting and dueling looking as innocent as can be . . . too innocent. They must have done something. Something flashed across Yami's mind, he remembered seeing a flick of a brown cloak as it just rounded the corner. The same brown cloak as Yugi's. He and Ryou must have been eavesdropping on their conversation with Elrond. Well, they were growing up.
"Come on Ryou. Time for us to go." said Bakura curtly. Ryou got up obediently and followed Bakura out.
As soon as they were gone, Yami opened the wardrobe and pulled out a packing bag and started to put in provisions and clothing. "Yami, where are you going?" asked Yugi.
"The fellowship to destroy that Ring is going tomorrow." said Yami.
"But tomorrow's Christmas!" wailed Yugi, "You have to be here!"
"I'll be leaving in the evening. When I'm gone I expect you and Ryou to behave yourselves here." instructed Yami. Yugi nodded hesitantly. "That's good. Here, an early Christmas present." said Yami.
He handed his aibou a necklace with a large Sennen Eye in the middle and was encircled with other gold things. "The Millenium Tauk! I didn't know you carried it around with you!" gasped Yugi.
"It helps sometimes when you least expect it. Here, so you will know I am safe and so you don't have to worry." said Yami ruffling Yugi's hair affectionately. Yugi smiled at Yami and put the Tauk around his neck.
"Yami, you can keep the Puzzle. It'll be more useful to you anyway." said Yugi handing the golden Puzzle to Yami. His other reluctantly took it and hung it around his neck.
"Thank you Yugi, it will help a lot." murmured Yami.
Ryou watched as Bakura started throwing things into a big pack. Food, clothes, and some accessories. Like: a ring of picks, some matches, HIS own dueling deck (Ryou had gotten doubles of all his cards so had and his yami wouldn't have to share the same deck all the time), a small book of spells, and other things he thought would be helpful on the trip.
"So I'll be leaving tomorrow." announced Bakura standing up after he finished packing. Ryou didn't say anything. "Well?" asked Bakura, "Are you glad I'm going probably to bet myself killed and finally leave you and your friends and that stupid pharaoh alone?" Ryou's lower lip trembled slightly.
Suddenly Bakura was nearly thrown to the ground as he was jumped on. Ryou was hugging him tightly and his face was pressed against his chest. "I'll miss you Yami." whispered Ryou looking up. There was silence, Bakura was shocked, his hikari was hugging him? That was something no one had done ever since he had been sealed away in the Ring.
"You'll miss me?" asked Bakura in a dangerous tone.
"Hai [1]," answered Ryou backing up and looking scared.
"Why?" asked Bakura.
"Because you're like a part of me and, it's just really hard to explain." said Ryou in a tumble of words.
Bakura smiled at his hikari his . . . aibou. "Catch." said Bakura. Ryou barely caught the Millenium Ring as it was thrown at him. "I won't need it. The Eye will be enough help for me," explained Bakura holding up the Millenium Eye that he had fished out of his pocket, "Besides, I'm the only one other than Pegasus that knows how to work this thing. You know a few things about the Ring."
Ryou looked up at Bakura a smiled lightened his face, he hugged Bakura again, "Arigatou [2] Bakura." said Ryou. Bakura patted his hikari's head gently and chuckled.
"Now don't you go telling the pharaoh or his little runt that I'm going soft. Or things will change fast." warned Bakura, he wasn't sure Ryou heard him or not but who cared?
"I'll miss you too aibou." murmured Bakura, "And when I get back, or when we get back to Domino City, you'll help me gain all seven Millenium Items again neh?"
Ryou smiled, "Just as long as you won't hurt my friends."
"That can be worked out." smirked Bakura, "Partners?"
"Partners." agreed Ryou, "When we are back home."
Frodo looked around the Last Homely House in the East. He would miss this place. Oh why had the Ring just have to come to him? * I wish I was back home and none of this had ever happened. * thought Frodo looking longingly Northwestwards. His companion Sam stood by him with a large pack on his back.
"So Mr. Frodo. We're leaving the elves?" asked Sam.
"Yes Sam we are. The Ring needs to be destroyed. 'Tis a pity that Merry and Pippin will have to come on this perilous journey. Perhaps they might lighten the atmosphere." said Frodo turning around.
Merry and Pippin were snacking heartily on some apples, "So Pip, you looking forward to this quest of our?" asked Merry gulping down a mouthful of some apple. Pippin's reply was a noise that sounded like a yes and then a nod.
"What did you pack?" asked Pippin, swallowing a big chunk of apple, "I packed some food, clothes, and more food." Merry laughed at his friend's choice and hit him playfully. Pippin looked at Merry indignantly and hit him back, soon the two hobbits were tussling around on the floor
Legolas rubbed his hands as he stepped out on the balcony. The weather outside was cold and nippy, but it helped clear his head. He had used some of the extra time on his hands to go and see his father and bade him farewell. They both knew that there was a chance that he would never come back, but it was worth it to destroy that evil Ring and Sauron.
Boromir was wetting his sword. His mind felt heavy yet light. Heavy at the prospect of finding a new king that would take away his father's position of being Steward of Gondor. Yet light at the chance of his city's salvation, maybe that would please his father and take some of his pressure off of Faramir, Boromir's younger brother. Those things may happen, yet maybe not. Only time would tell.
Gimli was asleep snoring fitfully and turning in his sleep. His dreams were filled with adventures of the soon to be quest.
Gandalf sat in his room rocking back and forth in his chair. Smoking his pipe. The old wizard almost seemed asleep, but you should know better. He turned over plan after plan of reaching Mordor through his mind. Discarding some and revising others. They couldn't afford to make any mistakes. That would be deadly.
Only little less than twenty-four hours until the great journey would begin.

[1] Hai - yes [2] Arigatou - thank you So, the action will begin soon enough. I think the story will get on a little better and things will be a bit more exciting. So nobody has guessed who's coming next. The guessing thing is still open! The journey will begin soon, what do you think will happen to the fellowship and the yamis? What will happen to Yugi and Ryou? Any suggestions just tell me in a review okay? -Fire Pendant ^-^
