Here's Chapter Four!!! Well, I've decided to pick the pairing for myself,
and it's NOT A LEGOLAS/USAGI!!!
I want this fic to remain original, and I don't think I've ever seen these two together before.
Chapter Four
Usagi looked around in fascination. She'd never been in any caves, and it was an exhilarating experience. As she looked upwards, she very nearly fell down a chasm. Letting out a squeak of surprise, Usagi windmilled, and Boromir caught her.
"Lady, you should watch where you're going instead of admiring the ceiling." His breath was hot on her neck.
Blushing slightly, Usagi nodded and turned. "Thank you, Boromir-san."
Nodding, Boromir continued walking, gently pushing Usagi up in front of him. "I believe I'm rear guard for the time being."
The next two hours were walked in silence, and when the Fellowship finally stopped for break, Usagi sat down with a plop. Sighing, she looked over to Sam who was setting up for dinner.
"And here I was thinking I was bad..." She muttered.
"Bad about what, Usagi?" Frodo inquired.
"Eating! I look almost normal to you with your breakfast, second breakfast, elevensies, luncheon, afternoon tea, and your two dinners! Frodo- san, where I come from, you eat more than I do, which would give many of my friends a heart attack!" Usagi teased lightly.
"Well, at least I don't add all those –san's or whatever they are to peoples' names!" Frodo replied hotly. "What do they mean?"
"Well," Usagi began. "When I address someone with the word –sama like Elrond-sama or Gandalf-sama, it's because they're wiser than I, and I have a great respect for them. –san is a term used to address someone older than you, an older relation, or a distant friend or classmate. –chan is used to address people your age or younger that are close to you, usually –chan is used for girls. –kun is for someone younger than you or a close guy friend. For instance, you'd call Sam, Sam-kun, because you're so close to him."
"What does what you were calling Legolas mean, Usagi?" Boromir asked with interest.
"Aya! I never should've said that out loud!" Usagi exclaimed before she sighed. "-baka basically means idiot or someone you're angry at."
"So I've been dubbed the village idiot?" Legolas asked blandly. "What would you call Orcs?"
"Let's see. I'd have to call them kusotares, onores, hentais or eechis. I can't decide which one." Usagi tapped her chin thoughtfully. "Just to let you know, kusotare basically means bastard or jerk, hentai and eechi mean pervert, and onore is just a nasty thing to call anyone."
"I'll call them onore!" Pippin decided. "So, Usagi, are you hungry?"
"H-er, I mean yes!" Usagi chirped as she mentally slapped herself. "Arigato, Pippin-kun!"
"No problem." Pippin replied. "Now then, about you insulting us Hobbits' eating habits. First of all, first breakfast is small, second breakfast is big, and elevensies are like brunch. Luncheon is large, and afternoon tea is just hot tea with a few slices of bread. Finally, our dinners may be large, but we wouldn't be Hobbits without big appetites!"
"Yeah!" Merry chimed in. "Without us, the world wouldn't be as sunny a place!"
Usagi giggled. "Thank you for the lesson on eating etiquette. If I ever journey to the Shire, I'll remember this."
Boromir snorted into his plate, and quickly turned to talk to Gimli.
It was just past midnight, and Usagi had just been woken for her watch. Sighing, she pulled her cloak tighter about her. 'There's something off with this place. I always feel nervous and like something's watching me. Gandalf-sama and Aragorn-san don't seem too happy to be here. Some awful thing must have happened to them...'
Turning, Usagi started slightly. Boromir was standing silently beside her. "What are you doing?!" She hissed.
Before she could reply, Boromir gently swooped down and kissed her hand. As he pulled up, he began to speak.
"Forgive me for the way I acted towards you at the Council. I grew up without my mother or another woman to take care of me, so I don't know how to accept that women are ju-"
Usagi placed two fingers to his lips. "I shouldn't have been as rude to you as I was. It was completely uncalled for, but, in the heat of the moment, I was just defending my honor. Friends?"
"Friends." Boromir nodded, happy to be on good terms with her. "And maybe, something more?"
Boromir gently kissed her hand again. Usagi blushed slightly, but didn't pull away.
"Maybe." She whispered in reply.
Two more days had gone by, and Usagi looked around herself in complete awe. They were inside a giant cavern with many pillars. Gimli looked around happily.
"Here is where the true wealth of dwarves was found! Mithril!"
"What's mithril?" Sam asked.
"Mithril is a type of silver so light and beautiful and easy to craft that I can just imagine it flowing through my hands! Most of it has disappeared now, though. Thanks to those dratted Orcs!" Gimli finished vehemently.
Suddenly, Gimli let out a cry and ran towards a room that had sunlight streaming into it. As the others followed, Legolas spoke softly to Aragorn.
"We cannot linger." Aragorn nodded in agreement, then looked to Gimli. The dwarf was kneeling in front of what looked to be a tomb, and sobbing, tears streaming into his long reddish-brown beard.
"It's as I feared." Gandalf spoke. "Here lies Balin, Lord of Moria."
Gandalf sighed, and bent over an old skeleton holding a book. As he began to leaf through it, his face became more grave and sad. "...We cannot get out. Drums in the deep. They are coming...' Here, the writing just stops."
Suddenly, there seemed to be a deep drum, pounding, foretelling the doom of the Fellowship. Boromir ran to the door, and barely missed being hit by four Orc and Goblin arrows. Pulling back, and turning to Aragorn, he spoke,
"They have a cave troll!" Barring the door, and readying themselves, Gimli cried,
"There is still one dwarf in Moria that still draws breath! Let them come!"
Legolas let an arrow sing, and an Orc fell backwards screaming. As another arrow flew, the door was broken by the cave troll. It seemed as though the cave troll was trying to decide who to attack first. As it swung its club at Sam, he dove beneath the cave troll's legs. Popping up, he grabbed a frying pan and hit two Orcs in the head.
"I think I'm gettin' the hang of this!"
Meanwhile, Legolas and Usagi were killing Orcs right and left with slender, long knives. As the cave troll lashed out, Usagi fell to the floor. Getting up again, she saw the troll was busier trying to kill Legolas than trying to kill her. Breathing a short-lived sigh of relief, Usagi was accosted by three Orcs.
As she ducked and stabbed an Orc, Usagi looked up in mild shock. The cave troll was writing around with an arrow sticking out of its head. Legolas turned to her, and said,
"This is great fun, is it not?"
Usagi groaned and turned to another Orc. Suddenly, time seemed to slow. The cave troll had set its sights on Frodo and was very near to successfully killing him. Before the cave troll could catch Frodo, Aragorn stabbed it with a spear. But, Aragorn was thrown into a wall by the troll, and lay stunned for several moments.
Acting quickly, Usagi kicked the troll as hard as she could and yelled at it. Its interests changed, the Orc went after Usagi.
"Frodo! Get the hell outta there!" Usagi nearly screamed as she dodged another blow.
However, the troll threw out its other hand and hit Usagi so hard that she flew into a wall. Groaning, and rolling over, Usagi spit up some blood. Looking up, she saw Legolas firing an arrow into the troll's brain. As it fell, Boromir and Sam rushed over to her.
"Usagi! Are you all right?" Sam asked frantically.
Boromir shook his head and picked her up. However, Usagi had other things in mind. "Let me go. I'm quite all right."
Boromir accidentally dropped Usagi in shock. She landed on a pile of rocks from her free ride into the wall. Glaring up at him, Usagi stood slowly.
"Thank you, Boromir-san for dropping me! I think we should get going though."
Running after the others, Gandalf looked at her in amazement. "Child, you shouldn't be able to run, let alone walk after an injury like that!"
"Back home, this is nothing." Usagi muttered as she turned.
They'd been fenced in by Orcs. Suddenly, a red fire lit the hall. Gandalf and Legolas looked up in fear.
"A Balrog." Gandalf muttered. "This foe is beyond you. Run!"

How was that??? I hope it was okay! See you later!
I want this fic to remain original, and I don't think I've ever seen these two together before.
