"You allow me to tell Aragorn."
Usagi's eyes met Legolas' for only a moment. 'How can I do that? Aragorn is less likely to allow me to fight than Legolas! What-'
Suddenly, she didn't see Legolas anymore. She didn't hear either. A vision, appearing inside her mind had completely captivated her. Frodo and Sam were running, and Sam kept crying,
"I'm gonna kill that stinker!" And even as he cried out, the vision looming behind him had Usagi's breathing increase.
A giant spider was crawling after them, its poisonous fangs dripping in anticipation. Even as Usagi watched, Frodo tripped. Sam turned to help, but he was too late. "Mr. Frodo! NO!"
And then she didn't see Sam and Frodo anymore. Sauron's eye was boring into her mind, asking her questions, and causing a pain deep within her heart. 'Tell me, halfling! Where is the ring of power? W-'
"Usagi! Usagi!" Legolas was shaking her.
Gasping, she looked around. "Legolas, where is Pippin?"
"What's wrong?" Legolas asked, worry creasing his brow.
"He stole the Palantir from Gandalf!" Usagi cried, sprinting towards camp. "We must find Gandalf and Aragorn, quickly!"
Not caring how many people were awakened by her, she cried, "Gandalf! Pippin's taken the palantir!"
"What?!" Gandalf sprang to his feet. "Where is he?"
"I don't know! We must hurry!" Usagi rushed to Merry. "Merry, did you see Pippin go anywhere? Anywhere at all?"
"No! I was sleeping!" His alarmed voice replied.
"Over here!" Aragorn cried. "On the Eastern side of the hill!"
Before Usagi had even crested the hill, she heard Pippin's cry of pain. She came to a standstill as she saw Gandalf shielding the palantir from Pippin. He wasn't moving. As she closed the gap, she heard Gandalf whisper,
"What mischief has he done-to himself, and to us?"
"Gandalf, will he be all right?" Usagi fell to her knees beside the haggard wizard.
"I know not." Was his terse reply. "Lady, is there a way you could heal him, as you helped to heal Frodo?"
"Of course." She replied. Placing one hand over Pippin's head, and one over his heart, she closed her eyes. Silver energy began to travel from her outstretched fingers to Pippin. After several moments, she withdrew the energy. "I've done what I can."
Pippin stirred, and cried in a shrill voice, "It is not for you, Saruman! I will send for it at once. Do you understand? Say just that!"
Gandalf held Pippin's arm, and spoke firmly. "Peregrin Took! Come back!"
He relaxed and fell back, clinging to Gandalf. "Gandalf! Forgive me!"
"Tell me first what you have done!"
So Pippin relayed the events he'd seen. The Nazgul flying around a besieged Minas Tirith, Sauron questioning him, what he'd revealed.
"A fool, but an honest fool you remain, Peregrin Took. Wiser ones might have done worse in such a pass." Gandalf smiled, and gently laid his hand on Pippin's head.
Gandalf gently picked Pippin up and sat him down by Merry. "If you feel an itch in your palm again, tell me of it! Such things can be cured. Now, I will leave you two together for a while."

"Peril comes in the night, when least expected. We have had a narrow escape." Gandalf murmured, speaking softly to the others.
"How is Pippin?" Aragorn asked.
"He will recover. Will you, Aragorn, take the Orthanc-stone and guard it? It is a dangerous charge."
