Padme: Well, as you can see, I'm adding a second chapter. Yayyy. -waves pompoms-
Bakura: And now that you've had your caffeine shot, you're going to write a decent chappie, right?
Seto: As decent as possible.
Padme: Disclaimer, people!
Anakin: Padmejem does not own Yu-Gi-Oh! or Lord of the Rings, and blah blah blah.
Padme: Good enough.
Chapter Two:
'We always seem to end up in each others' mess-ups, don't we, Motou?' yelled Seto through the swirly blackness.
Yugi ignored him, trying to make a connection with his yami. He didn't seem to be there...like a part of him was missing...
/Yami? Yami?/ Yugi whimpered pathetically through his mind link. It was a known fact between them, that Yugi disliked...darkness.
Ryou was clinging to Bakura like his life depended on it, though it seemed the white-haired thief was not too pleased.
Malik was clinging to his Sennen Rod like it was some kind of mental security, with a huge sweatdrop hanging off his temple.
Through Malik's random Egyptian cursing, Yugi constant whimpering, and Ryou and Bakura idiotic clinging and wailing, Seto managed
to spot a small amount of light.
'Exit at twelve o'clock!' the CEO bellowed at the squealing, whimpering, sweatdropping group.
'I'm not wearing a watch!' squealed Ryou without thinking, he clung to his yami fiercely, whom looked as if he was thinking how
pleasant it would be to gag Ryou with his own foot.
They were then slammed head first into a bush, Seto first, followed by Yugi, and then Ryou, Bakura, and Malik, who was still clinging to
Sennen Rod for dear life.
/Yami?/ Yugi squeaked again.
'I'm right here, Yugi...' a voice next to him replied.
You could say Yugi squealed and gasped at the same time, because that is exactly what he did.
Bakura snickered. 'We'll just be leaving you two alone now, shall we?'
Yami growled. 'Want to visit the Realm of Shadows, again?'
Bakura chuckled sadistically. 'Anything to make your life a misery, frangipani...'
A large vein popped out on the Pharaoh's temple.
'Can I help you, strangers?' A tall blonde male was standing over them quite suddenly.
Malik stood up quite suddenly. 'He doesn't look human. Be on your guard...'
Seto, of course, took a different approach.
'We. Are. From. A. Distant. Land. We. Come. In. Peace...'
The blonde raised an eyebrow.
'Well, you better come with me then, the recent incidents of late concern all creatures of Middle Earth...'
Ryou cocked an eyebrow. 'Middle Earth?' he muttered quietly.
The blonde lead them quite far from the place they had...collapsed, ignoring muttering from Seto and Bakura on how odd his attire was.
'My name is Legolas Greenleaf, I am an elf...and we are headed for Rivendell.'
'An elf?' enquired Yugi, 'Aren't they supposed to have little bells and green hats?'
Legolas shot him a puzzled look. 'Apparently not.'
After each being taught the basics of riding a horse, -including Seto's feet dragging along the ground, Bakura's horse taking off in fright,
and Yugi not being able to reach the stirrups,- the elf lead them on to Rivendell.
'So, how long does it take, to reach...Riverdile?' asked Malik, finally getting the hang of riding his equine.
The blonde elf chuckled. 'About two days ride from here to...Riverdile, as you say.'
Seto looked as if he was about to barf. 'Two...days...on...a....mangy, smelly animal...' he mumbled.
The horse Seto was riding gave a loud snort of disapproval, stamping one ivory hoof.
'I think Voriel heard what you said...' Legolas let out a chuckle.
Nevertheless, Seto continued complaining the whole day.
The band stopped at a large rock formation, which the elf called some unpronounceable elvish name. Yugi and Yami climbed down from
their exceedingly bad tempered ride, which promptly stormed off to mope in some corner of their makeshift camp.
Seto's latest complaint had been that they could have at least brought marshmallows.
It became rather late, and Malik crawled off to a slab of rock, clutching his Sennen Rod as a child would it's blanket.
Seto continually muttered rude curses under his breath until they became sleepier, and sleepier, and he fell asleep with his head in a bush.
'These are strange people,' thought the elf, 'Strange, but perhaps they may aid us...Lord Elrond's call might have reached beyond
Middle Earth...Perhaps it is they are far more strange thsn I first imagined.'
Yami was cradling Yugi like a childs teddy bear, and Yugi, who was snoring loudly, kept hitting Yami's hair with one hand.
Legolas was beginning to become disturbed by Bakura's constant sleep-rambling, -'Blood, blood! Pretty reds and bloodness!', - and so
wandered towards the only source of fresh water in the area...A muddy puddle.
Legolas peered into the water thoughtfully for a while. A long while. And he let out a sigh.
'Oh my, how ugly do I look in this water...Oh the shame, the shame...'
And the night's peace was broken, by a narcassic elf.
Padme: Well, I did get a little further with caffeine...Heehee. Caffeine...
Anakin: Well yes, but...Not that far.
Sekhme: Stop criticising my hikari, dammit!
Padme: Oh, and the next chapter, they reach Rivendell! And find something they lost. ^^
Yami no Bakura: Shhh!
And don't forget to R&R!
