Author Note: I don't own Lord of the Rings
Yoko stood outside her house looking at the darkening sky. Yoko had brown wavy hair, and brown eyes, and was plain looking. To her friends she was insane and fun at the same time, to the wanna be girls she was a freak, to the teachers she was every teachers dream, a well behaved, turns in homework when asked, and nice student, to her brothers and sisters, who were killed in the same accident like her mother, she was a pain, and to her parents, who are died, her father when she was 3 and her mother just last year when she was 18, she was someone who needed more attention cause she never left the house. Her parent's death led to having to live with an aunt and uncle who treated her like a dog and constantly locked her in her room. Yoko had no boyfriend but has a friend that most people mistook as her boyfriend; he was the most popular boy in town which made all the girls that had a crush on him start picking on her. The color of Yoko's clothes depended on her mood.
Yoko sat in a tree in her front yard looking into the horizon. She wore a black shirt and black pants signifying sadness, and loss but not evil. She sighed and started to daze off into dream state mode. As they normally did when she was bored, only her best friend, Isamu, knew when this happened.
"Yo, Yoko what's up?" Someone said under the tree.
"The sky, as usual. It looks like its going to rain tonight." Yoko commented when she saw that it was Isamu to who she spoke. She jumped down the tree with grace.
"Honestly, Yoko, you can be confused for an elf with that grace you have." Isamu said joking around, since one of her favorite books was Lord of the Rings. Yoko sighed and started to walk off.
"Hey wait up! Are you mad or something?" Isamu said catching up with her.
"Geez what gave you that idea?" Yoko asked she was upset and felt terrible to take it out on Isamu; the girls in school were starting a fight with her again.
Flashback
"You better stay away from Isamu or else." fangirl1 said. Isamu had a fan club, being the most popular guy in school.
"Why should I? He is my best friend after all, and im not going to let some snotty bitches tell me to stay away from my best friend!" Yoko shouted back.
"I'm warning you! If you don't stay away from Prince Isamu, your going to regret it!" fangirl2 the president of the fan club
"I've never regretted anything in my life, and im not starting now just because of you wanna be girls!" Yoko said then walked off toward a teacher, and just like she planned the fan girls came up to her and prepared to punch her, but the teacher stopped them and sent them to the office. The fangirls clearly hadn't of noticed the teacher.
"Miss Yoko are you alright? They didn't hurt you did they? Do you wish to go to the nurse?" The teacher asked worried, the teacher wasn't there when she was shouting at the fan club.
"I'm alright sensei:she puts on her innocent face: but I was a bit scared when they grabbed me! Is it alright if I go home for the rest of the day? I am awfully shaken." Yoko said putting on fake, yet convincing, tears; she also had this scared look.
"Very well, im going to call your aunt and uncle." The teacher said and Yoko's heart felt as if it sank, though she didn't look it, she had become afraid. The last thing she needed was for her already concerned aunt and uncle to know that the students were picking on her.
End of flashback
Yokohad completely forgotten about Isamu being with her.
"Yoko?" Isamu said snapping her out of her trance.
"Isamu, please, I am going to run away and never come back. You have to understand, im just tired of my life, and imp tired of the girls in town always picking on me just cause im your friends. But just because there mean to me doesn't mean ill ever stop thinking of you as my friend. In my mind you could never be replaced." Yoko said and ran off toward the forest.
"I don't understand but I will trust your judgment Yoko, my closest friend." Isamu said staring at her as she ran off toward the forest.
Yoko continued to run not stopping, she didn't know why but for some reason she felt that she had to leave, that she was putting everyone she cared about in danger if she stayed there.
"Oh wow, I haven't been in the forest longer than 5 minutes and im already lost!" Yoko said joking around to keep her from being sad. She heard some steps and instantly put herself in fighting mode like she was trained in her martial arts classes. Yoko jumped up a tree and grabbed the backpack that she had put there. Then jumped back down and started to walk toward a random. She took out her sword just incase she got attacked by a thief.
"And I thought I knew the woods well. I can always act like a ranger and find my own tracks to show me to before I got lost." Yoko requested to herself. The tree's seemed bigger than the ones she normally saw when she went into the forest. Yoko saw a fox and instantly squealed in delight, being that foxes were her favorite animals. She started to walk toward it when she tripped and fell down a cliff she hadn't noticed. Yoko got up and was surrounded by arrows, she looked at the ones wielding the arrows and saw lots of elves pointing at her.
'And I thought elves only existed in fictional stories.' Yoko thought wondering if it were possible for real humans to sweat drop like in the anime she liked to read.
"Do you want to blind fold me or do you want to kill me? Because I don't mind at all." Yoko said in Elvin, she liked lord of the rings so much that she took the time to learn Elvin. :I'm not really going to put Elvin words cause I don't really know how to speak it, anyone who does please tell me how to spell them and what they mean: The elves looked at each other and then agreed silently.
"We will blind fold you and see what Lord Elrond decides to do with you." One of the elves said taking out a blind fold. Yoko let him blind fold her without any arguing and to not go to slowly they carried her on top of one of the horses where another elf was and they rode off. Yoko just lay still wondering where exactly she was going. Finally, she felt them slow down and although she was blind at the moment; she had been trained to sense things without the use of sight.
"Is it pointless to ask where you are taking me?" Yoko said once she got a bit more comfortable of riding blind folded. Yoko waited a bit.
"Ill take that as a 'no'. Oh well." Yoko said and then since she had her eyes covered she started to daydream. She snapped out of her daze when she realized that she no longer was wearing her blind fold and was in a huge room with only one other person, who she guessed was Lord Elrond.
"Ah…I'm sorry; since I was blind folded and had no idea where they were taking me I decided that it would be alright to start to daydream a bit…It's a habit imp trying to break. Anyway im really sorry if I was being rude, I honestly have no idea how long it's been since they took the blind fold off." Yoko explained embarrassed that someone was watching her while she daydreamed. Lord Elrond just looked at her then started to walk toward her, and then he touched her face lightly and stared at her hard in the face. Yoko stood still not moving and smiled for some reason when he touched her face; she instantly calmed down and grew less tense.
"What were you doing in the forest? And what is your name?" Elrond said getting to the point.
"Right to the point huh? Well seeing that its disrespect to lie in front of someone of royalty, ill do my best to keep it from straying into a lie. I ran away from home, to say the least. Oh and my name is Yoko." Yoko said simply.
"Why were you running away?" Elrond asked wondering what could cause her to abandon her home.
"Let's just say that I had no purpose there anymore. I wasn't ready to tell my closest friend what it was that upset me, and im not planning on telling a stranger even if the stranger is a king. I hope you can forgive me, im just not ready to tell anyone what is wrong with me yet…" Yoko said looking outside the window her stomach growling with hunger. Yoko feared that he would only keep asking.
"I understand, but right now it seems that you are hungry! You will get a room and food will be sent to you." Elrond said looking at her. Yoko blinked in surprise; it took her 10 seconds to register what he said.
"Ah! No I don't require food. I don't eat anything at all. If you were to talk to my best friend, he would tell you that I do not eat. Only milk with maybe a little honey. But that is all I need to keep me going for 5 hours." Yoko said protesting, not wanting to tell him completely the truth at the fact that she couldn't eat anything that once had life, be it plant or animal. Elrond gave Yoko a strange look.
"Very well then I will just tell someone to send you some milk." Elrond said and an elf came to escort her to her room. Yoko looked around as she was escorted. Yoko sighed inwardly knowing that Elrond was bound to ask her the question again sooner or later. Yoko made it to her room and lay down in the bed that was ten times bigger from the ones she is used too. Yoko turned to her side and saw some milk, she blinked confused and started to laugh slightly. She didn't notice Elrond by the door looking at her. Yoko grabbed the milk but did something that Elrond didn't really expect.
"Thank you for the milk!" Yoko said cheerfully and drank slowly, savoring every bit of it. As she drank she leaned back to get every drop but ended up falling off the bed in the process. Yoko started to laugh happily as she held the bump on her head from when she fell.
"Mom would probably be laughing at me if she saw what just happened. Mom… Just so you know there is no reason to worry about me. I'm fine, a bit injured from the fall before I met the elves but im fine. Lord Elrond seems like a nice guy too! He didn't ask me too many questions about why I was alone in the forest or why I ran away, and for that I respect him! You know, I wanted to tell him honestly I did. But for some reason I couldn't. Heh, Isamu is probably upset with me. But although he is the closest friend I have, I just know he wouldn't understand why I left. Then again neither do I. I don't know maybe im going mental, the truth is my heart was telling me that it was the right thing to do, and as time goes by I will be able to understand clearly. Oh! I almost forgot to tell you! I'm no longer on the earth that I was born in, ha-ha im now on middle earth, isn't it odd I always wanted to be in middle earth but I never really thought I would end up here. You wanted to live in middle earth too didn't you mom? But you will never get a chance because you no longer exist on any planet; you only exist as a memory in my mind. You have no idea how ive missed you. It's been one year today since you and big brother left me to live in a place I won't be able to go to in a long time. Although I never really knew dad, please take good care of him and big brother. After all your favorite motto was "There are some things males could do because they are males, but there are also things they can't do because they are males." Just like there are something's females could do because they are female, but there are also things females can't do because they are females. Anyway please take good care of Dad and big brother. And ill be fine, I have you to watch over me even though I will never be able to physically see you." Yoko said sitting in the center of the bed with tears coming down her cheek. Yoko blinked and noticed Elrond by the door looking at her with sympathy.
"Sire." Yoko said and tried to dry her tears only to be hugged softly by Elrond. Yoko cried silently in Elrond's shoulders.
"Looks like you ended up finding out the reason I was in the woods after all." Yoko chuckled slightly before she fell asleep lightly in his arms. He put Yoko on her bed and put the sheets over her before he walked out knowing that he did all he could to comfort her. Just as Elrond reaches the door, Yoko gets out of bed and walks toward her backpack looking for something. Yoko looked at him and smiled cheerfully.
"Didn't think I was asleep now did we? Um, let's see… what should I put on? Should it be pink, for love and friendship? Well im sure it won't be purple because that symbolizes power and royalty, and I am not royalty or contain power. Brown? Well I do feel a bit uncertainty and doubt…But not so much that I should announce it to the world. Red? I am not that courage's or have that much strength unless under real danger. I know! Blue! I feel at peace here…wherever I am…I do feel happy and a little patience at least! Blue it is then. "Yoko said happily and ran into the restroom with something in her hands. She came out with a blue dress that was for sleeping and then went back to her back pack, taking out a toy rabbit, she got on the bed hugged the rabbit tight and fell asleep for real that time, but not before saying:
"Thank you for the room." Yoko said juts like she did for the milk and fell asleep instantly.
