Don't worry there's more! You don't think I would have rated it R just for that did you? Well keep the reviews coming. I need them if you want to be pleased. Chapter 2 begins.

" They entered the forest."

"Fangorn forest. It is an old forest, and it lives," said Legolas

"I've heard things about this forest. They weren't good things."

"Gimli, if we want to find the hobbits we must go in there. There is no other way." They all looked at the forest, fear and apprehension showing in their eyes. Aragon led the way, following the little hobbit tracks in the forest. He noticed after a while that their tracks disappeared, and large, very large ones appeared. They followed the tracks deep in to the forest. All of a sudden Legolas heard something. All three pulled out their weapons, knowing that when the enemy appeared, they would have to strike fast. They walked slowly into a clearing and were met by a blinding light.

" The white wizard! Attack!" Aragorn yelled. All three lunged towards the wizard, but he flicked their weapons away.

"You think You can over power ME!?" yelled the wizard, throwing back his hood.

"Gandalf?! Is it really you?" whispered Gimli.

"We thought you were dead, after you fell."

"But am I dead? I am here before you, for my work on this world is not yet done. My time is not up yet." Gandalf proceeded to tell the three what had happened to him after he fell in to the pit. They then rested for some time, as they had been on the move without much sleep.

The forest was growing dark as Aragorn woke. He had had troubling dreams of death, and Legolas. Aragorn looked around for the others. He spotted Legolas and Gandalf, but he couldn't find Gimli.

"Where is Gimli?"

"I believe that he said something about quality mushrooms that he had seen. He should be back soon as I told him that we would eat shortly." said Gandalf. All of a sudden, they heard loud crashing in the bushes. Aragorn and Legolas jumped to attention and Gandalf grabbed his staff. Gimil stumbled into the clearing, and halted. He swayed slightly, "I found .. some wonderful .. mushrooms. You really .. should try .. some..very hungry." Gimli started looking around and foraging for food. He stumbled over a root and fell to the ground hitting his head. Legolas checked to make sure he wasn't hurt and laughed quietly. He looked up and saw Aragorn staring at him oddly. Legolas dropped down at Aragorn's side. "Aragorn are you all right?" Their eyes locked and the air around them was charged with tension. Aragorn slowly lifted his hand and stroked Legolas's cheek. Legolas sucked his breath in and held Aragorn's eyes.

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

They were so engrossed with each other that they did not see Gandalf's knowing and sad look. "Purple people eater eating meee." Gimli muttered, destroying the moment. Aragorn jerked his hand back and looked away. Legolas stood up and backed away, disappearing in to the forest. Aragorn leaned back against a tree and laced his fingers behind his head. What possessed me to do that?! I love Arwen, I do love Arwen. But Legolas is so enticing, and his skin is so soft.. Ahhh stop it! I can't, I shouldn't be thinking this, be doing this. But I can't stop it, I need to touch him. and his eyes the fire and depth in his eyes.mmmm NO! I can't. I need to sleep. Yes, I will sleep. With that thought , Aragorn closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Legolas ran into the forest, hardly looking where he was going. He finally stopped and sat down. He needed to think. What happened back there? I don't understand why did Aragorn do that?! How dare he! But, it felt. the fire I felt when he touched me.ohhh I can still feel his hand on my cheek. And his eyes, they are hazel, I had never noticed before. They are so beautiful, and the emotion in them. it was like he was confused and lustful at the same time. How odd. Legolas got up and started to head back to camp. When he got there, every body was asleep. His eyes automatically wandered to Aragorn. Acting on impulse, Legolas crept over to where Aragorn slept, leaned over him and tenderly brushed Aragorn's lips with his own. Legolas then lay down beside Aragorn and fell asleep.

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

Aragorn woke up in the morning with a feeling of wonder and dread. He thought that Legolas had kissed him last night, but he didn't know how to explain his actions or even if he could. He sat up and saw that Legolas was lying next to him. Aragorn was completely surprised and stood up carefully so as not to wake him. He got some breakfast ready and the others woke. Gimli was complaining of a headache and of being starving. They ate quickly and headed out of the forest. It was almost noon by the time they got out of the forest. Gandalf called his horse, a beautiful pure white stallion and the four mounted their steeds. They quickly rode off to Edoras to warn the king and have him help them against the dark lord. They rode for most of the day and finally reached Edoras in the afternoon. The four of them rode up to the King's palace and requested to see the king. Their weapons were confiscated, except for Gandalf's staff. They entered the hall and found that Grima Wormtounge was in charge. He shrieked when he saw that Gandalf still had his staff.

"I told you not to let the wizard keep his staff! Get them!" The soldiers surrounded them. Gandalf strode forward, while Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli took care of the few soldiers that were there. Gandalf strode up to Theoden and spoke to Saruman, who was controlling him. Saruman and Gandalf fought, Gandalf won and Saruman was thrown out of Theoden's body. Theoden woke from his daze and was groggy, but he wasted little time in throwing Wormtongue out. He was about to kill the evil man, when Aragorn intervened. "No, don't kill him. Let him go. What use is it to take another life?" Theoden listened to Aragorn and didn't kill Wormtongue. He ran and jumped on a horse and galloped off to his master, Saruman.

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

Legolas and Aragorn had had no time to themselves since the previous night. But finally, after they all had eaten, they found themselves alone. Flickering torches lit the hallway, the light from the flames dancing on the stone walls. Aragorn decided that this was the only chance he might have to talk to Legolas, so his heart beating wildly, he took it.

"Legolas, about last night."

"Shh Aragorn." Legolas put two fingers on Aragorn's mouth, "It's alright, don't worry. I have. similar feelings. I understand." Aragorn shivered with pleasure as Legolas touched him.

"Are you sure Legolas? You don't have to." Legolas swiftly kissed Aragorn, a light brush of lips. Aragorn was a bit taken aback, but recovered and leaned in to kiss Legolas. This kiss wasn't like the others. It was hesitant, yet passionate. Legolas drew his arms around Aragorn's neck; his fingers entangled in his hair, and deepened the kiss. Their veins were on fire with passion, and their hearts racing, as they explored each other. Aragorn broke away and took a slight step back.

"We should stop. If some one were to find us."

"Yes I suppose it would be for the best, but I can't guarantee that I will be able to control my urges."

"I understand, but you must try. For my sake." Legolas nodded and gave Aragorn one last kiss. He let go of Aragorn and headed to his room. Aragorn watched Legolas leave and touched his lips, remembering their kiss. He turned and went to his own room.
