A.N. - Hey everybody, I'm back with the next chapter. I'll try to post them as soon as I possibly can. One more week until spring break, WHOO-HOO. *Does a dance* I should be able to update more then.
Disclaimer: What you mean you're forcing me to say this again!? How dense are you people? I own several Yu Yu Hakusho episodes on tape, the Yu Yu Hakusho movie, The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers on DVD as well as the whole trilogy of The Lord of the Rings books but that is all I own that has to do with either of those things. I do not own the actual ideas of either Yu Yu Hakusho or The Lord of the Rings. *Goes into a corner and starts crying* T-T

Chapter 2
Kristina's POV
The stupid sun coming through my window woke me up from the deep sleep I was in. I groaned and turned over trying to get away from the annoying light. That's when I felt myself slip right off my bed to land face first on the floor. (Wow, that's one rude awakening.)
I started going through all the curses I knew in English, and even some that I knew in Japanese, thanks to my Yu Yu Hakusho obsession. Yes I do admit I might have a little, ok, a big obsession with Yu Yu Hakusho.
I slowly opened my eyes to get up. The damn sun was still bright even from my view from the floor. That's when I noticed that the floor I was on was not the floor from my room, or anywhere in my house for that matter.
I quickly got up and looked around with wide eyes. Everything in the room seemed to be white. My mind picked this time to remember what had happened to me before I had "fallen asleep". I remembered the sleepover, the movie, Stephanie with the drinks, and finally the pain and blacking out.
'Kuso, I should have known better than to drink anything given to me by Stephanie. Am I in the hospital or something? Is that why everything's all white?' I thought to myself. But on closer inspection I discovered that I was in no hospital that I ever knew of.
The architect of the room was amazing. It seemed to be made of marble with detailed designs all over the walls, ceiling, and even the floor. There was a couple of big windows letting in more light than I was ready to deal with right now. Especially since the white room only made the light seem brighter. The bed I was on had white sheets, pillows, and blankets, half of which were now on the floor from me falling out of the bed. Somewhere in the way back of my mind told me that this place looked familiar.
I started to panic. 'Where the hell am I? How did I get here? Where are my friends, parents, family, anybody I know?' I looked down and screamed. "And how the hell did I get into this!?"
I was wearing a white (Bet you never saw that coming.) nightgown that reached all the way to the floor with lacy frills and everything. I hated dresses, and in this case nightgowns, especially when they were all lacy and fancy. But more importantly, this means someone had to dress me. Anger suddenly flared up inside me. Someone was going to die today, the evil insane voice inside of me said.
Just then the door to the room I was in burst open and in came a woman with a pale face, brown eyes, and long, strait black hair. She looked at the bed I was in with the sheets, blankets, and pillows thrown everywhere, then over to me. I stood there in shock for a minute, then my eyes narrowed and I got into a defensive stance and bared my teeth as a warning that I felt threatened and could attack.
I knew my behavior might seem strange to others that didn't know me that well so allow me to explain. My parents are both all out cat lovers, and before I was born they took care of about three cats. When I was born they kept these cats since they seemed to get along well with me. I grew up living with these cats that my parents loved so much that they were treated like people. So it was like I had brothers and sisters even though I was an only child. I too loved the cats because they were more than just pets to me they were my family and my friends. They were always there for me. As I grew older I started adapting some characteristics that cats used. In the case now, it's the baring my teeth as a warning and the 'if threatened I attack' reflexes. I know people might think this is weird but I can't help that I was raised around this. It actually comes in handy sometimes. My friends know all about this and they are used to it and have accepted me, I guess since they too are weird in their own way. When I start acting this way though my friends enjoy running around screaming something or other like, "Oh no, Kitty's on the loose again. Quick someone call animal control!"
(Sorry for the long explanation but hopefully it will make things less confusing. Now back to the person that just walked in.)
The person stopped and stared at me in shock for a minute. In the back of my mind I laughed at her confusion. She suddenly said something in a language I couldn't understand.
I relaxed slightly and stood normally with a frown on my face and stared at her in confusion. "What?" I said to her. She just stood there for a moment, then seemed to come to her senses. "What are you doing out of bed? You're supposed to be resting and getting your strength back." The woman said to me in English.
Apparently, now since I was acting "normally" she had relaxed and was now starting to walk towards me. I let her since it clearly seemed that she wasn't going to hurt me. "What are you talking about? Where in the world am I? And who are you?" I asked her. I was starting to get annoyed because I didn't know what was going on.
She smiled at me kindly and I felt that I could trust her for some reason. "Here, sit down and I will answer your questions." She pointed to the bed I had fallen out of earlier. But first she went over and picked up everything that had fallen on the floor.
I walked over slowly then sat down on the bed. I turned to face her. She was standing near a table in the room. She leaned over and picked up a bowl of different fruits. "Here, eat if you are hungry." She told me. I stared at her then at the bowl. Finally I picked up an apple but didn't eat it right away even though I was kind of hungry.
"Alright, what is it you would like to know first?" She asked me. "Where am I and who are you?" I answered right away. I finally took a bite of the apple in my hands. "Well, you are now in the Houses of Healing in Rivendale, and I am Arwen, daughter of Lord Elrond." The woman answered.
I started coughing violently because I started to choke on the apple I was eating in shock. "Are you alright my lady?" Arwen asked me with concern all over her face. By now I had gotten myself under control, kind of. I was only coughing once in a while now.
I looked at her very closely for a minute, ignoring her earlier question. That's when I finally noticed her ears. They were pointed, 'Elf ears.' I thought. Suddenly the shocking truth seemed to hit me. Why she had looked so familiar, why this room had looked so familiar. I got up and ran to one of the windows. "What's wrong? Where are you going?" Arwen cried out behind me.
I looked out to see, to my great shock, a very nice view of most of Rivendale almost exactly as it looked in the movie. I stood there for a while with my mouth hanging open. "I've got to be dreaming." I say to myself. "Why do you have to be dreaming? Maybe you should lay back down and rest for a bit more." Arwen told me.
I still stood there in shock, not facing her and not answering her. I leaned against the side of the window for support and put my arm up and rested my head on my arm. I was still staring out at Rivendale. 'If this is a dream, how can it be so real?' I thought to myself.
I could hear birds singing and horses neighing and people talking. No, not people, elves talking. I could see them walking around busily doing their days work. I could hear a river running not to far away. The window I was at was open and I could feel a warm breeze drift through the window and blow around me causing my nightgown to flutter. I could smell the scent of many different types of flowers and plants that were growing everywhere. I had never had a dream this realistic. I quickly pinched myself and felt a brief, sharp pain. I had never felt pain in my dreams before either.
Suddenly I felt a gentle hand on my shoulder. "Are you feeling well my lady? You should rest some more especially since you've been unconscious for days now." Arwen tries to steer me towards the bed. I almost didn't catch what she said because I was so deep in thought.
First I said, "I'm not really dreaming am I?" It was more of a statement than a question. "Well, of course your not dreaming. Why would you possibly think that?" Then it finally sank in what Arwen had said earlier. "Wait! I've been unconscious for days!?" I almost yelled. "Yes, and you need rest…" Arwen was cut off by a sudden, very loud high-pitched screaming.
"Oh no, not again." Arwen said while heading out of the room. Before she could reach the door I had already ran past her and down the hallway following the screaming. 'It's Danielle.' I thought to myself. I could hear Arwen now running to catch up to me, probably to stop me but that wasn't going to happen anytime soon.
I found the door the screaming was coming from soon enough (Yes, Danielle had never stopped her screaming even though it had been a few minutes now.) and ran through it into the room. The screaming had finally stopped. It was then that I realized that Danielle hadn't been screaming because she was scared or hurt…
"Oh my! Aren't they just the most adorable things you have ever seen!" Danielle squealed while squeezing the life out of one of the unfortunate hobbits that had the misfortune of getting too near her. The rest of them had backed away into a corner watching her warily.
Just then Danielle looked up at me and immediately dropped the poor hobbit, I think it was Pippin, she had a look of complete shock on her face. I was just about to ask her what her problem was when she pointed at me and burst out laughing.
*snort* "Oh my Lord!" *tears coming to her eyes* "Where's a camera when *snort* you need it?" *laughing hysterically* Meanwhile I am not liking the looks of this. That's when I noticed that I was still in that stupid frilly nightgown.
I suddenly hear a click and see a flash out of the corner of my eye followed by out of control laughter that someone must have been trying to control until now. "I got it! Oh my gosh! It's a Kodak moment."
I turn to see Amber sitting on the next bed over while clutching her stomach because she was laughing so hard. In her hand was a camera. I lunged at her but she had moved out of the way and ran right out of the door and down the hallway while screaming "Whoo-hoo, new blackmail." and laughing insanely. Danielle came out running behind me while yelling to Amber, "Faster Amber! Run for your life!"
Out of the corner of my eye I could vaguely see a door open and Stephanie come out to probably ask what was going on. 'So we're all here.' I thought in the back of my mind. But I soon forgot because I was using all my concentration on catching Amber who was trying to lose me down one of the many hallways that created a maze.
30 minutes later
I was back in my room after I figured out that I shouldn't go running all through the corridors of some place I don't even know in a nightgown. Arwen had finally caught up with me not to long ago and after a long argument of the way my clothes looked, I finally got her to give them back to me. Oh yes, and by now I had told Arwen my and my friend's names.
She kept trying to tell me how "A lady should dress like one." But all I heard was "Blah, blah, blah, blah." In other words it was totally pointless for her to tell me this because I was going to dress how I wanted to.
After throwing Arwen out of my room I put on my blue jeans and a black T-shirt with a cute little black and white kitten on it with the words Kitty's Got Claws below the kitten. The words had silver claw marks going through it to make it look like it was shredded.
Apparently, when we were found, all we had with us were a backpack each. So it looked like some of our stuff came over to Middle Earth with us. This would explain where Amber got the camera from. I decided to go through mine now to see what I had. Here's what I found:
Two more pairs of jeans; 1 blue, 1 black
Two more tops; 1 was red long-sleeved with a black rose on the front, the other was a plain white T-shirt with the words "I see stupid people reading my shirt." in black.
My headphones and a bunch of my favorite random cd's.
A notebook with two roses with the stems intertwined going down the left side.
My sketchbook (Which my friends could never find out about or they would never leave it alone)
A pair of red walkie-talkies.
A big supply of candy
And last, but definitely not least, a video camera. (Ooh, the blackmail you could get with this)
I put everything back in by backpack and then hid it under my bed. I had lost Amber somewhere about ten minutes ago but no matter, I had other ways of getting revenge. I opened my door to see Arwen still standing there. "You know, it's not me you should be worried about. It's what kind of chaos my friends will cause if they are not stopped." I told her with a smirk.
"That's very funny my lady, but it's hard to believe those three other young girls, or you, could cause much harm." I turned to see Aragorn standing next to Arwen. 'So that's where that bad smell is coming from.' I thought. (Sorry all you Aragorn fans.) "From what I heard though it seems that you are the one that would cause the most harm since you were chasing your own friend in a rage for over twenty minutes if I've heard correctly." Aragorn continued.
"You poor, poor dimwitted fool. Haven't you ever heard of the expression 'looks can be deceiving'?" I asked him. He suddenly looked really mad but before he could say or do anything…
"Hey Kristina come on we're playing tag, it's a lot of fun. Come play with us." Stephanie said as she walked up to us. "Yeah, Kristina. The hobbits decided to play with us and even Elrond decided to join in." Danielle added as she walked up with a sly smirk on her face. (Amber was still no where to be seen.)
"Whoa! Look Danielle, it's Aragorn/Strider!" Stephanie tells Danielle in amazement. "How did you know who I am? I don't think we have met before." Aragorn tells them. Before they can reply I just simply tell him Danielle and Stephanie's and my names. "And as for Amber, she's not here at the moment." I finished with a slight growl from the memory.
I then turned to Danielle and Stephanie. "Hey you guys, did you know Aragorn/Strider here believes your harmless little girls that couldn't cause that much trouble?" I informed them.
"Is that so?" Danielle said with a dangerously insane grin on her face as she looked over towards Aragorn. He suddenly took a step back looking at her uncertainly. Arwen was still standing there not saying anything, maybe in shock.
"Uh, guys. I think we have to go now unless we want to be tagged by Elrond." Stephanie said to us. I turned to see Elrond running down the hallway right towards us. "Why you little monster. Give that back to me this instant." He yelled at Stephanie. That's when I finally noticed the glint of silver in Stephanie's hands. She was holding onto Elrond's little crown thingy and smiling insanely. Then she turned and ran down the rest of the hallway screaming, "Can't catch me, wheee!"
Suddenly my arm was grabbed by Danielle as she took off after Stephanie while laughing insanely. I had the choice to either run with them or be dragged by them (Lovely choices aren't they?) so I chose to run. Besides Elrond didn't seem too happy right now.
I actually started finding this quite fun and started trying to figure out ways to escape Elrond's wrath. Even I was laughing now. We took a sudden turn down one corridor and I got an idea. I quickly grabbed Stephanie and Danielle and hid in the room closest to us.
I quickly signaled for them to be quiet and then we waited. Soon enough we could hear Elrond running by yelling, "You can't get away from me." As soon as he was gone we all burst out laughing.
"How did you get that crown off of Elrond?" I finally asked Stephanie once I got my breath back. "Well he was just sitting there reading in some library and it was all shiny and pretty, so I just reached over and took it." Stephanie told me. "Yeah, and then she didn't want to give it back so we had to make a run for it. After that we ran into the hobbits, they're so adorable, and they asked what we were doing so we just told them that we were playing tag and all you have to do is don't let Elrond touch you or you lose. So then they started running around with us. And then we got separated and then we found you." Danielle explained. We all burst out laughing then at remembering how Aragorn thought we were harmless.
"I can't believe we actually fell into Middle Earth, and all because of something Stephanie gave us to drink, well at least as far as I can tell. Maybe we can even help the Fellowship destroy the ring. That would be so much fun." Danielle said. "You do realize that are lives would be in danger if we did that." I told her. "Yeah, but wouldn't it be worth it?"
We then turned around to look what room we had walked into since we didn't even bother to look earlier. Are eyes all widened in shock, then we all grinned like maniacs. 'So much for Aragorn thinking that we're harmless. And that little "tag" game was nothing before. Now the real fun begins.' I thought.
We had just found the armory…

A.N. - O-O. You know nothing good can come out of insane teenagers finding an armory. Total chaos almost fully guaranteed in the next chapter. Sorry if this chapter wasn't that good. I kind of have a little writers block right now, but I'm still trying. Oh, and the Yu Yu Hakusho characters will coming in sometime during the next two chapters. I'm just waiting for the right time.
Thanks to Talumaril for reviewing.
Please read and review.
