A/N: thanks for the reviews! Please keep them coming. They help inspire
me to write more =). Some Buffy/Legolas will be coming soon! On another
note: Remember that this does not have to correspond with either the show
or the book/movie. So just pretend that everything after season 5 of Buffy
didn't happen. So everything after that will be AU and everything after
the council starting in LotR is AU with the exception of Elrond's wife
being still alive because obviously I had her die protecting Buffy
(Elbereth). I probably should have put this in the first part, but oh
well. If anyone wants I could have a sequel to this story for when Buffy
goes back to Sunnydale, or to have everyone in Sunnydale go to middle-
earth, it's really ya'lls choice.
~~ Part 5 ~~
Everyone agreed to go to Mordor early the next morning. Everyone was saying their goodbyes and good lucks to the Fellowship.
Buffy was wearing a pair of pants, boots, and a regular shirt. She thought that this would be much more comfortable when fighting other creatures. She was looking at everyone that would be going through, of what is going to be, a long journey. She thought that she felt someone looking at her, so she turned around and saw Elrond.
Buffy walked up to him and said, "Before you say anything I will take care of myself."
Elrond smiled at her, "I know you will. I have no doubt that you will survive through this. I have heard a great many things about slayers and their willingness to fight no matter what."
Buffy smiled lightly at him. Buffy hesitated for a bit, then she did something that Elrond least expected. She hugged him. Elrond returned her hug whole-heartedly.
"Before I forget to mention this, you have two other brothers," Elrond said.
Buffy rolled her eyes and muttered, "I knew it always felt weird being an only child, with the exception of Dawn of course."
Elrond gave her a questioning look, "Who is Dawn?"
"She is my younger sister."
"But I thought you said that you were an only child?"
Buffy sighed, "It's a really long story. I'll explain everything when I get back."
Elrond nodded and agreed with her.
They were interrupted when Gandalf said to everyone, "I believe we should get going while there is still sunlight."
Everyone agreed too this and got their things and went to the doors that led out of Rivendell.
"Buffy!" a voice suddenly called out.
Buffy turned around and saw that Arwen was walking towards her.
"I meant to give this to you earlier, but with all of the things happening the past day I haven't gotten the chance until now," Arwen handed her a exquisite jewel necklace.
Buffy gazed at the necklace, "I can't take this," she said.
"It belongs to you," said Arwen, "When you were taken from us, it got lost in the struggle. I found it near the place where you were kidnapped. This is the Evenstar jewel, it is a symbol of your immortality."
Buffy by this time had tears in her eyes, just now realizing that she did belong here. This is her home now. It felt right to be here. Not like how it was in Sunnydale, where everything felt off balance, like she was different from everyone else.
"Thank you Arwen," Buffy said.
"Your welcome my sister," Arwen said, then she moved to hug Buffy tightly. Buffy hugged her back.
"You better come back," Arwen said.
"I will," Buffy promised.
Buffy then let go of Arwen, grabbed her things, and ran to catch up with the rest of her companions.
~~~
It was early in the afternoon when everyone decided to take a break at a rocky patch. Boromir thought that it would be a good idea to teach the hobbits how to use their swords properly.
Legolas was a look out in case anything strange starts to happen.
Aragorn was watching Boromir training with the hobbits, giving them pointers while smoking his pipe.
Sam and Frodo were cooking food, well mostly Sam was doing the cooking, and Buffy was sitting near Legolas, glancing at him out of the corner of her eye every once in a while as she watched Boromir and Aragorn give pointers to Merry and Pippin on how to use a sword. Gandalf was also watching the Hobbits train, but he also noticed the attraction between Buffy and Legolas.
Someone suddenly said Buffy's name.
She looked up and said, "yea?"
"How well can you fight?" Aragorn asked.
"Well I have been training to fight the 'forces of darkness' for about 5-6 years, so I can probably fight better then the average man, why?"
"I am a bit intrigued at your strength. I thought it was very amusing when you threw Boromir across the room," Aragorn said with a small smile, glancing at Boromir.
Boromir heard this, and glared at Aragorn. Aragorn just smirked back at him, and turned his attention back to Buffy. He noticed that Legolas was looking at Buffy with a curious expression on his face. Aragorn made a mental note to himself to talk to Legolas later about what he thinks of Buffy.
"If you don't mind I would like to spar with you," Aragorn offered.
Buffy looked a bit unsure by this, "Are you positive you want to spar with me?" she asked.
Aragorn nods his head yes.
Buffy sighed, "alright, if you get hurt don't blame me. Hand to hand or sword fighting?"
"Swords," he answered. Aragorn motioned for Boromir and Merry and Pippin to move as he got his sword.
Buffy moved to get the sword that Elrond gave her just a bit before everyone was ready to leave Rivendell.
They moved to where Boromir was training with the hobbits, and moved into their fighting positions.
Buffy looked relaxed, with her sword not raised, but would be able to spring into a position if needed.
Aragorn also looked casual, but had his sword raised slightly.
Everyone was on the sidelines, waiting with anticipation to see who would strike first. Legolas was unsure if Buffy really did have the experience fighting monsters, but she didn't lie, that much he can at least tell about her. No woman has ever intrigued him the way she has.
Aragorn was the first to strike. He went to Buffy's left arm as she deflected the blow. Then Buffy quickly made the next move to Aragorns upper torso, which he blocked. Buffy made a sweep kick, and he jumped, barley avoiding tripping. He made a move with his sword to her neck, blocking the blow. She shoved Aragorns sword out of the way, and she jumped over Aragorn and kicked him from behind, making him stumble, but he kept his balance.
Everyone was watching entranced, as the fight got more and more furious. They were amazed Buffy's fighting ability.
What happened next shocked everyone besides Gandalf. He had an idea of how strong she is.
Buffy spun around, her back to Aragorn, blocking his latest slash with his sword. She did a back kick to Aragorns chest, making him stumble, then jumped with a twist in the air over Aragorns head, landed on her feet, and made a sweep kick making him fall to the ground.
Buffy stood up barely breathing hard. She walked up to Aragorn, worried that she might have hurt him.
"Are you alright?" She asked.
"I'm fine," he said a bit shocked that Buffy took him down. "Where in the world did you learn how to fight like that?"
"I had a few good teachers that taught me everything that they knew," she said thinking about her first watcher Merrick, then Giles, and Angel.
"They have taught you well," said Aragorn standing up.
Buffy thanked him and then noticed that everyone was looking at her. She blushed slightly, and then she noticed something in the distance.
"What is that?" asked Buffy.
Legolas stood up, and walked to his original standing post.
"It is moving against the wind," Boromir said.
"Crebain from Duneland!" Legolas exclaimed.
"HIDE!" said Aragorn.
Everyone scrambled for their things, and Sam puts out the fire taking the food that he was making with him.
Buffy, Legolas, and Gandalf quickly hid behind a rock.
Aragorn, Boromir, and Gimli hid behind another.
And Fordo, Sam, Merry and Pippin, also hid.
Buffy noticed that she was very close to Legolas and thought, 'ok, think about something else besides how good looking Legolas is. He is soo hot! NO! Bad Buffy!' She berated herself.
Legolas was having trouble of his own. His growing attraction and respect for her intensified as he saw her fight.
The Crebain came through the area, and searched thoroughly, as if they knew that the Fellowship was there.
As they left everyone came out of their hiding places.
"Crebain. Spies of Saruman. The south passage is being watched. We must take the pass of Caradhras," said Gandalf.
~~~
"So the daughter of Elrond has come back to middle-earth has she?" said Saruman. "Her power is great. Sauron will be pleased with this new development."

TBC.
A/N 2: This part took me a long time to write. RL has been extremely busy the past week so I wasn't able to update until now. I have Spring break coming up this week so I will probably update more than usual since I'm not going anywhere. Also if anybody could give me some ideas on how I should continue this fic that would be great!
