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.

I finally updated! Whoopie! I'm so happy. THERE'S ONLY ONE MORE FREAKIN DAY OF SCHOOL LEFT! Okay. Someone finally guess who's coming next. Go Devious-Duo! The first person to guess who it is! Congrats you are on my favorite author's list. I started reading you're Yugioh/pokemon one and it is funny.
I'm trying to update as fast as I can. But it's getting harder. I've got a little bit of writer's block for what will happen from here to Moria. From Moria on, I've got a pretty good outline. So if anyone's got any suggestions please step forward and tell me them in an e-mail, or in a review. So go on and read this chappie!
Chapter 16: The Uruk-hai
"Wake up everyone. Today is a new day and we must set off quickly." said Aragorn walking around and rousing everyone.
Boromir grumbled a bit as he got up and hit his head on the roof of the underground dirt cavern. "Such a small hole. It was a wonder I could sleep at all." he complained to himself. "Well I suppose it's worth it to save Gondor and bringing the sword-that-was-broken. But bringing the heir to the throne of Isildur is another thing. Father won't like that."
"Wake up pharaoh, this isn't time for your beauty sleep." said Bakura kicking Yami in the shin. He bolted up and glared at Bakura, but whether or not the tomb robber could see him in this darkness was beyond him.
"I'm up Bakura. Come on let's go. The sooner we go the sooner we get there and the sooner we get there the sooner we'll get back." said Yami climbing out of the little cavern and basking in the sunlight despite the nippy air. Bakura joined him a few seconds later shading his eyes from the sudden exposure to bright sunlight (A/N. You know when it's dark in the middle of the night and you turn on your light suddenly. That's how it is. Not because he doesn't like sunlight.)
The hobbits were huddled together trying to warm back up again. Yami shuddered as he remembered the voice of the Ring echoing in his head last night. * Oh Ra, why did it have to be me? * asked Yami trying to close out all thoughts of the Ring as they started their desolate trek through the forest again. Unknown to the fellowship many malicious eyes watched them leave, their fingers felt the sharpness of their blades, as they waited for the sun to set.
Bakura was looking through his Duel Monsters deck. It was something he always did when things were getting very uneventful. How funny it would be to just summon one and see the reaction he could get from these inexperienced mortals. Maybe the Headless Knight will prove a good tool. * Heh, funny. * thought Bakura as he looked down on that card. A sharp jab to his ribs stopped him.
"Don't do anything funny Bakura." hissed Yami glaring at Bakura. Bakura rolled his eyes and put away his cards.
"Since when did you order me around pharaoh?" asked Bakura.
"I'm not ordering you around tomb robber, I'm just telling you not to do anything related to Shadow Magic while we are around these people. Legolas is very sensitive to our powers, as are many other elves. If we reveal our secret they might think we are of the enemy and kill us. Then who knows what will happen to Yugi and Ryou?" replied Yami softly. Bakura let out a held breath and nodded.
Aragorn called a rest in a small clearing for a few moments. The hobbits immediately called up a fire and started to cook some food for luncheon. He smiled and shook his head, * Those little people. I do hope none of them die on this journey to Mordor. But so far nothing has happened and we are now many leagues away from Rivendell. But what Legolas said last night troubles me. Elves have very keen senses when it comes to Shadowspawn and there might be orcs around. * thought Aragorn. There was a light tap on his shoulder and Legolas stepped in front of him.
"Aragorn, we need to speak, a little bit separately from the company. I have urgent news." whispered Legolas. Aragorn nodded to the blonde Elf prince and followed him behind a tree. None of the fellowship seemed to mind.
"What is this news Legolas?" asked Aragorn.
Legolas looked around as if searching for any eavesdroppers and then replied, "The two men, Yami, and Bakura. I overheard some of their speaking and I don't know what to think about it."
"Go on." nodded Aragorn.
"Our friends have kept a little secret from all of us. They have some sort of power called Shadow Magic. The very name hints of evil. But they have helped our company and very unwillingly they seem not wanting to use it. For they fear the risk of hurt to their brothers if we think they are the Enemy's spies." said Legolas, "I trust them and do not wish to think that they are evil, but Shadow Magic. This gives the journey an interesting turn."
"Shadow Magic," said Aragorn, "A very big secret they have kept from us. Tell me Legolas, the day that all of Rivendell was in panic because of a great darkness, did it feel the same as the black magic of Sauron's?"
Legolas shook his head and replied, "No, I don't think so. It did not feel wholly evil, as do orcs and other things. It felt more like pressing blackness and a great power being unleashed."
"That settles it then. Yami and Bakura aren't of the Enemy. Maybe we shall actually get to see this Shadow Magic when the time comes." said Aragorn.
"Ryou, are we getting closer? It's been four hours." said Yugi urgently. Ryou smiled and looked up from his Ring to reply to Yugi.
"Yes, the Millennium Ring tells me that we are getting very close. They should be a little bit more than a mile ahead of us. I told you that getting up earlier would help us find them. They must be stopping, because the Ring isn't tugging me anywhere. It's just indicating where they are." said Ryou quickening his pace, he was using his glaive as a walking stick, it thudded dully on the ground. Yugi jogged to keep up with Ryou and pulled his cloak closer to his body. The afternoon sun wasn't helping the cold weather a lot. At least the snow had stopped falling.
"How many miles have we walked?" asked Yugi as Ryou stopped briefly to open his pack and giving Yugi and himself a slice of bread to eat as something to keep them going, then they went on.
"I don't know. I think it has been many, many so far. The scenery is changing now and the weather is too, just by a few degrees." shrugged Ryou.
"You can tell?" exclaimed Yugi.
"Sort of," blushed Ryou. They walked on in silence each wondering how their others were doing.
The fellowship walked on. By nightfall they had come out of the forest and were near some rock outcrops and brush. "Well, let's have some dinner. I'm sure all of us are hungry." said Pippin stooping down as he started to gather some sticks and dry moss.
"Pip's right. Come on Sam help us out here." said Merry helping the Took around. Sam grumbled to himself about how those two would some day get them in a lot of trouble but ended up lending a hand in the end.
Pippin looked at his cousin Frodo and sidled up to him. "So Frodo, how are you doing?" he asked.
Frodo sighed and sat down at the bottom of a rock, "I'm doing alright Pippin. Not as bad as I thought it would be. But I've been getting this bad feeling about something. It's like we're being watched."
"Maybe some food will help you feel better. That's what my uncle would always say to me," smiled Merry putting down the pile of wood. "Come on Pip, help me light a fire here."
Dinner was eaten rather heartily and quickly. The fellowship had loosened up and started joking around a bit. Pippin and Merry had performed a small ditty that was very popular in the Shire and had received a lot of laughs when the younger hobbit lost his balance and fell straight into Merry and Merry fell onto Gimli.
"Well I say tonight has been splendid. Let's get some rest before we all have to do more trudging if Aragorn changes his mind about resting." said Gimli.
Pippin walked around the big center rock looking for a place to sleep. The other side was devoid of any light for the light of the fire reached no further. He jumped at the sound of a branch cracking. After a while he decided it was just probably a small green branch exploding in the fire. "Ah, here's a nice spot." said Pippin, he bent over to spread his blankets out over the chosen spot when a smelly hand with sharp nails clamped over his mouth and pulled him away. Bravely, Pippin struggled but it was of no use.
"Stop squirming you little worm or I'll have to kill you." threatened a hoarse voice close to his ear. * Orcs! * thought Pippin, he stopped moving at once. Slowly and as quietly as the Orc could. He started carrying Pippin away.
Closing his eyes Pippin thought * Well what do I have to loose? * and he bit down on the hand of the Orc. There was a loud yell and the hand was pulled away from Pippin's mouth.
"Help! Strider! Gandalf! There are Orcs and one of them has got me!" shouted Pippin.
The Orc snarled in annoyance and punched Pippin's jaw, "Shut up you little . . ." he never got any further. An arrow protruded from below the base of his skull. Pippin was dropped and he rolled before coming to a complete stop. He held his jaw tenderly but drew his sword. More Orcs came shouting war cries. Aragorn was chopping through all of them; soon his sword was stained with their black blood.
Yami maneuvered his sword automatically, as if his body already knew what to do. * I don't remember knowing how to fight with a sword. * thought Yami as he stabbed one in the chest. Blood gushed out when the blade was removed and it screamed in an unearthly way. More Orcs swarmed over in his direction overtaking Yami.
Bakura slashed and thrust with his knives. Working with close-contact weapons had it advantages, it was easier to kill them. Swords were too clumsy. The disadvantages were that the blood always got all over him. By now, his clothing was splattered with warm Orc blood and his fingers were bloodied. The Orcs were now grouping together and working as a team. That wasn't one of the best things to happen today. He gritted his teeth as a wave of Orcs charged towards him. Bring it on.
Ryou and Yugi watched as they neared a bunch of big boulders. They had found the fellowship, but at the worst time. Black figures dashed around attacking madly while members of the fellowship defended themselves desperately. They were outnumbered four to one. Ryou whipped around as he sensed something sneaking up on them. His glaive was raised and he sliced down on the head of an Orc that had tried to ambush them. Yugi blanched and drew his little sword. "Hurry Yugi, let's try to get with the others. It will be safer." shouted Ryou scrambling over big rocks, he pulled Yugi up after him and they dashed towards the fellowship.
Bakura and Yami backed up into each other. "Well Bakura, do you have a plan to get us out of this?" asked Yami.
"Of course I do. But we will have to use our Shadow Magic." said Bakura, "Let us obliterate them just as we did before. It should be easy, even if there are just a few more this time."
"We have no choice then." replied Yami concentrating heavily as he focused his power.
"Yami! Yami over here!" shouted a small voice that he knew so well. Yami's focus broke and he looked desperately to the source of the voice. There, fighting towards him was Yugi and Ryou. The two boys that were normally so gentle and kind were killing Orcs. It wasn't like they had a choice. It was rather kill or be killed. Bakura's head snapped towards the sound too. Ryou and Yugi made it to their yamis.
"Stay behind us. We're going to get rid of them." ordered Bakura.
"But, what will everyone else think of your Shadow Magic?" asked Ryou.
"I don't care what they think. I just need to keep you safe. What am I going to do if you die? We do share bodies. No wonder I've been feeling so tired lately, my hikari has been following me around. I didn't think you could get this far Ryou. You don't even do good when it comes to running in school." commented Bakura.
Yami was surrounded by the presence of Shadow Magic. It emitted very powerfully from him. All the orcs stopped fighting to see what was happening. The confused members of the fellowship stopped as well wondering what had stopped the Orcs from killing all of them. Legolas watched, it was the exact same feeling he had felt the day Yugi and Ryou had come back and reported Orcs in the forests of Imladris. So this was the reason.
Bakura smirked at the Orcs and started the assault. Burning orbs of Magic flew out of his hands, hitting the Orcs and making them fall to the ground burned by black flames. Yami released his hold on the held back force and it toppled the Orcs. Even before they reached the ground they were soulless husks, dead. The remaining Orcs ran away trying to escape. Many of them were killed before they could run any farther. But some of them slipped away.
Bodies of the Orcs that had littered the boulders faded away and everything looked as if there had been no battle at all.
The fellowship stared in awe and some in horror at what just happened. Gandalf sat down on a rock and lit his pipe and smoked it thoughtfully, it didn't surprise him. He had suspected this of the two spirits long ago.
"Please explain to us what had just happened." said Aragorn, sheathing his sword after wiping the dark blood off of it, "You have just saved our lives so we know that you are probably not enemies. But what are you?"
* * * to be continued . . . maybe * * *
OHHHHH, I liked this part. But it took me long time to write. Someone finally guessed who was coming! Congratulations Devious-Duo! There is still one more person that is able to guess who's coming next. If you guess right, I'll put you on my fav. Author's list. So what do you think? I thought this chapter might have been kinda weird. But what are your opinions?
Someone else has gotta at least have a clue about who's coming next. Should I give you a hint? Maybe in the next chapter or something, I'll see. Any suggestions, complaints, comments, questions (I'll try to answer questions) please READ AND REVIEW!
I almost have one-hundred and fifty reviews! You all rock! Keep me so motivated and ready to give you all a next chapter. My newest best friends. I might update faster in the summer I hope if I'm not going anywhere. I was going to go to China and this fic would have had a very slow progress, but then SARS came so the flight was canceled. Well I'll update ASAP. See yah all! Peace! -Fire Pendant.
