Otaku: HELLO EVERYONE! IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU! SORRY FOR THE WAIT! SCHOOL JUST STARTED AND I'VE HAD A SMALL CASE OF WRITER'S BLOCK AND THE COMPUTER HAD TO GET FIXED! AGAIN, SORRY!
Yamiko: Just get on with it!
Otaku: Hmph! Today I have a special guest to do the disclaimer. It's.........QUATRE!
Quatre: (appears) Hello Miss S-
Otaku: NO! Don't say my name! Here it's Otaku!
Quatre: Oh. I'm sorry Miss Otaku.
Otaku: It's okay.
Quatre: Miss Otaku doesn't own LOTR nor does she own Bakura or myself. Even if she wishes she does. She does, however, own The LOTR Trilogy and soundtrack.
Otaku: AWWWWWW! Isn't he cute? No wonder I like him! (glomps a blushing Quatre. Never knew someone could blush and choke at the same time. Oh well)
Quatre: Miss...Otaku...Need....Air!
Otaku: Oops! I'm sooooo sorry Quatre-kun! (let's go of him) Are you okay?
Quatre: (takes in big gulps of air) I'm-gasp-okay!
Elladan and Elrohir: On with the story!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!27
"Celebrian-'Kaa-sama! I played with Lindir-san, Elrohir-'Nii-sama, Elladan-'Nii-sama, Estel-'Nii-san, Arwen-Nee-sama, and Merileth-chan! We had some much fun!" Sakura giggles as she jumped and ran around Celebrian as they walked to Elrond's study. He and Gandalf were interested in her world and Erestor was interested in her language.
"That's nice Sakura, but if you keep on running around like that, then you will trip and fall," chastised Celebrian. Sakura giggled and kept on running as she told Celebrian what she and the others did. Celebrian sighed, but allowed her to keep on running. While Sakura was in the middle a sentence of the game Merileth was teaching her, she tripped and scratched her knee and immediately started bawling. I mean, this is just a seven-year-old! Sure she acts mature and stuff, but that doesn't mean she can't cry at cuts, now does it?....That's what I thought. (Otaku: ((smug look)) Bakura: Oh stop talking to the readers and continue the story! Otaku: Alright! All bishies: ((glances at Otaku worridly yet warily)).)
"Shh..Shh.. It's gonna be alright, but I did tell you this would happen. You should have listened," said Celebrian. Sakura sighed knowing her adoptive mother was right and scolded herself for tripping and not listening to Celebrian-Okaa-sama.
"Gomen ne, Celebrian-'Kaa-sama. I'm really, really sorry," exclaimed Sakura. Celebrian nodded in understanding and smiled slightly.
"It's okay Sakura," soothed Celebrian as she smiled at Sakura and picked her up gently. Sakura smiled shyly back and fell asleep (Otaku: ((tiredly)) She was tired, so sue me..... Wait. Don't. Quatre: What's wrong Miss Otaku? Otaku: ((smiles brightly)) Nothing! What made you think that? Bakura: Let me see....) The years flew by with Sakura taking Sindarin lessons, horse-back riding lessons, self-defense lessons, and so on. Everyone got adjusted to Sakura and her language, and grew fond of her and she finally told Elrond her newfound power. 50 years had passed and the elves were delighted to find that she didn't age and it was her birthday so everyone was helping prepare the celebration for Sakura's birthday. Galadriel and Celeborn was coming because they were invited by their daughter, Celebrian.
"My birthday is coming uup! My birthday is coming uup! YEA!" Sakura sang as she skipped through the halls to meet her friends, Merileth; Merenwen who had dark blonde hair and pretty blue eyes; Falisse, who had blond, light, pale, curly hair and brown eyes; and Vanima, who had ruby red hair and emerald green eyes. Vanima only cared for Legolas-sama and Elladan-'Nii-chan and she did not know why she was friends with her, but she okay as long as she did not mention Elladan-'Nii-chan or Legolas-sama in such a disrespectful way. When she reached the gardens she saw that the others were already there and they looked like they were arguing about something, but she couldn't hear it.
"Maer arad (Good Day)! How is everyone this morning?" Sakura asked as they looked up and she sat down.
"We're doing okay," answered Merileth as she glared at Vanima who glared back and gave Sakura a sickly sweet smile who was oblivious to the whole exchange.
"How are you doing? It is your birthday and all," replied Vanima in a very sweet and innocent voice, causing the other elleths to glare at her.
"I'm fine, but I saw you arguing earlier. What was it about?" Sakura asked as Vanima's smile grew slightly evil and Sakura didn't catch. The others glared at Vanima, knowing she was up to something.
"Well, I came and heard Merileth, Vanima, and Falisse saying horrible things about you!" Vanima replied in a false innocent and concerned voice as the others talked about her. Now Sakura was devastated, but and she looked at Merenwen, Merileth, and Falisee with sad and heartbroken eyes.
"I-it can not be! Please! Tell me it is not true!" Sakura cried and as she looked at the others with a pleading look in her eyes, Vanima smirked at them from behind Sakura with twisted glee in her eyes. The girls glared at Vanima with disgust in their eyes, but Sakura thought they were glaring at her and choked back a sob before running away pushing pass various worried elves and away from her 'friends'' cries. She ran to her favorite spot in the garden and collapsed and just started to sob. Her nose started to get runny and blotchy and she knew it, but shrugged it off not caring who saw. And this is suppose to be my 12th birthday! She bitterly thought as she continued to bawl and her eyes started to feel sore after all the heavy duty crying she has been doing. Slowly, she started to fall asleep on the cold, hard, stone ground of the garden in her secret spot, causing worry and tension with her elf friends and family.
###Back to the girls###
"Vanima! You did that on purpose! You stood behind Sakura to make it seem like we were glaring at her, which, as I'm sure you know, is not true!!! Why did you do that?" shouted Merileth as Vanima merely smirked at them as they seethed. When Merileth asked her question, Vanima frowned and frowned at them as if they were stupid fools who do not deserve to be in her presence.
"Why? WHY? Surly you must be jealous of her connection with the family of Lord Elrond and Prince Legolas? Surly you must be angered that a mere human child managed to grab Prince Legolas' and the Sons of Elrond's attention in a mere second while we had known them for many more years and is far more fair and wise than a mere human child!" Vanima answered, practically spitting out her words, not aware that they had attracted a group of elves.
"What is going on here?! Why has Pen-dithen(Little One) run away in such a hurry?" Elladan shouted as he emerged from the crowd shocking Vanima, but she quickly snapped out of it.
"You mean the Pen-alag(Impetuous One)? The filthy human child who ran away crying pathetically?" Vanima sneered at him, not caring if she was exiled from Rivendell anymore, causing the crowd to gasp in shock that anyone would call Sakura that while Elladan boiled in anger. Red seemed to be all he could see before he coldly glared at her and crisply walked away fearing to hurt the elleth even if she deserved it. (Otaku: Well, I think she does!!!! ;;; Bakura: I don't care...either way, someone will die! smiles sadistically Quatre: I hope no one gets hurt TOO bad...scoots away from Bakura causing him to bump into Otaku and start blushing)
###With Sakura###
"Itai!!!!! What happened?" Sakura groaned out as she looked around. She saw the garden, but the view was like she was floating. She looked down and saw her body and Elrohir-Nii-Sama rushing at her and gently picking her up. She felt a strong and sudden gust of and she felt like she was being pulled from behind. Looking behind her she saw a swirling vortex (Otaku: Not that she knew it was a vortex. U) and as she was looking, she got sucked in screaming "NANIIIIIIIIIIII??!?!?!?!" all the way down before all went black.
&&&&&&A few hours later&&&&&&
"Ai!!! Itai!!!! Ne, why do I have to go through this again?!?!?!" Sakura screamed in Japanese with aggravation causing some shouts of "She has awakened! Sakura-Imouto has awaken!" or "My poor baby! She is awake!!!!!" in Japanese and some people rushing into the room. A middle-aged looking lady rushed in a hugged her with great gusto as she was blubbering about her "poor, poor baby." She looked vaguely familiar with her long, glossy black hair pulled back in a low pony-tail, kind face, shimmering honey brown eyes, with a slender figure dressed in the traditional kimono.
"Ano....Who are you? Where is Elrohir-Nii-Sama and Arwen-Nee-chan and Merileth-chan?" asked Sakura timidly not realizing she was speaking in Japanese. All she got was the happy faces turning sad as they looked at here unbelievingly. A tall boy with blond hair rushed up and clasped Sakura on the shoulders shaking her.
"Nani? Y-You don't remember us, Imouto-chan? Remember your Nii-chan? This is just a joke, ne?" The boy cried while shaking her making her look at him slightly scared.
"Iie! You are not my Nii-sama! My Nii-sama has pretty dark hair with gray eyes and fair skin and he has a twin with blue-gray eyes! You don't have a twin from what I can see! You must be mistaking me for someone else," stated Sakura stunning her family causing the lady and a few other girls to burst into tears. "Ano...Gomen ne, demo I am not your Imouto-chan...Daijobu desu ka?" She asked the lady, who was in fact her mother, Kikyou. A man with brownish-blonde hair stepped up to her and stared at her.
"Do you know who I am?" Sakura shook her head. "I am your Otou-san! You are my daughter!" He shouted as he knelt down and hugged her with a few tears escaping from his normally bright sapphire blue eyes.
"Gomen, demo you are not my Tou-san! Demo...you look familiar..." She faded off as she blacked out. She faintly heard some voices shouting with panic before she fell into a blissful sleep. When she woke up again, she was relieved to find out that she was away from those frantic people who were convinced that she was related to them somehow, but they looked so familiar and their images were stuck in her head. It taunted her every night, but now was not the time to get into them right now. Anyway, she looked around and saw Elrohir-Nii-sama sleeping. She knew that elves slept with their eyes open with a glazed look in their eyes, but it still scared her!!! She looked up as someone came in, but as soon as she saw who it was she looked down at her lap with her hands clenched and tears threatening to spill from her already puffy, sore, red eyes.
"Yes? What do you need...Falisse-san?" Sakura asked in a soft voice making Falisse wince as the suffix '-san.' It made a pang of sadness shoot through her heart as she thought of when she saw Elrohir carrying Sakura in looking like she was dead. It reminded her that Sakura was only human and that she was going to die soon, but she pushed that thought out of her head. Suddenly, Sakura stood up and walked out the door in a hurry and Falisse followed her, confused, until she saw that they were head to the lavatory. She watched in amusement as Sakura entered the small wooden structure and came out with a small jar, placing it where she got it before walking to the river to wash her hands. Why had Sakura-chan looked worried when she came out? Thought Falisse to herself as she sat down next to Sakura She should have look more relieved like she used to when she goes to do her business.
"Sakura? What is troubling you?" Falisse asked after a moment of silence making Sakura look at her in surprise. She obviously forgot that her friend was following her, but after a moment just looked back at the river.
"Did you and the others really hate me like Vanima said? If not, why did you glare at me with such anger and hate? Not to mention disgust," asked Sakura softly with out looking at her elf friend.
"Pen-dithen, we do not hate you! We love you as if you were our own sister by blood and we were not glaring at you! We were glaring at Vanima who was behind you," answered Falisse, just as quiet as Sakura had been. Sakura nodded, thinking back to that time and she suddenly remembered that Vanima HAD been behind her! She slapped her forehead in disgust at her own stupidity.
"I see! Gomen ne Falisse-chan!" Falisse merely smiled at her before looking back at the flowing river.
"You never did tell me why you were looking so...pensive," reminded Falisse making Sakura blush with some unknown reason.
"Ano...Well, you see...I-I think I have finally gotten my menstrual cycle," replied Sakura blushing furiously and Falisse just looked at her before laughing.
"Ahhhh...I see! Well, we should tell Lady Celebrian about this," said Falisse after she had calmed down. Sakura smiled, still blushing though it was diminishing somewhat, and stood up with Falisse before they left to find Celebrian.
###With Celebrian###
"Celebrian-Kaa-Sama!!!!! I have a secret to tell you!" Sakura shouted as she skipped down the halls to her 'parent's' room and opened the door. The beautiful elleth smiled at the two girls as she stood up.
"I am glad you are up Pen-dithen, but you should be resting and it would be best if you spoke in Sindarin instead of Common...Now, what is the secret?" stated Celebrian as she sat down on the edge of her bed and the girls sat next to her.
"Well," started Sakura, "I have started my period!" Celebrian smiled at her daughter and picked her up.
"You are finally becoming a Lady!" said Celebrian in her soft, musical voice as she put her daughter back down. Sakura and Falisse giggled along with her. "Now, It is time to go outside, my musume. After supper, you will have to go and continue you some of your lessons. I would love it if you could master your vocals at your birthday celebration since we will have it tomorrow instead of the intended date because of a little missing girl." Celebrian winked at the girls and ushered them out watching as they ran down the hall chasing each other and laughing and yelling.
&&&With Elrohir (Otaku: I forgot about him! Sorry about that!)&&&
Elrohir stood up when the girls had left and frowned as he looked after them. He knew that he shouldn't have let them go, but he felt some tension that needed to be resolved between the two girls. He sighed as he thought of how scared her was when he saw his little Imouto lying there with a red and blotched face. I can't believe Vanima! I had thought that she would be a great friend for Sakura! He thought causing him to frown more, deep sadness of the betrayal he was sure Sakura must have felt to have one of her friends hate her! (Ryou: He doesn't know about the misunderstanding. Otaku: YAY! Ryou! Where have you been? Ryou: I was delayed a bit by...) He smiled a bit before he left, comforted with the thought of Sakura being safe at home, but was she really safe?
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 27
Otaku: Hey PPL!!!! Sorry about the wait and sorry for no review answers, but I lost them all when my computer crashed! Anyway, I have some polls. Do you want Sakura to fall in love with someone? If so who? What about her friends? Should she join the Fellowship? Should she go back to her world for another visit? Should someone from her world come into ME?
Yamiko: Don't bombard them with questions and polls, Hikari!!! Jeez, you are sooooo annoying sometimes!
Otaku: Well sorry, but it's not my fault that you are so annoy-able!
Elrohir: Read and review! Thank you!
Quatre: Bye! Have a good day!
Otaku: Bye! V (Peace sign)
