Title: Acceptance
Disclaimer: I do not own Lord of the Rings.
Yoko woke once again remembering the night before. She yawned and went to the window to stretch a bit.
"What is it with people and listening to me while I talk to my mom? And why is it that I can answer questions to those who eavesdrop on me? I have never been so outspoken in other places." Yoko told herself and grabbed her backpack. She took out a brown shirt and brown pants. Then went to change, she got dressed and went outside looking around to see if anyone was there. She sighed and went to the lake where she had been the other night just as she got there Hissyfit came and went to stand next to her. He was about to speak but Yoko stopped him.
"We are outside and you might be overheard so tell me the message later…" Yoko said and started to walk around the lake. Yoko sat down on the edge and let her feet get wet then she looked up and soaked in the sunshine.
"The sun is delicious today!" Yoko said happily as she continued to soak in the sunshine. Hissyfit lay down next to her and fell asleep quickly.
"Is this your favorite place to be?" Someone asked from behind making Yoko jump up to her feet and look at the person who spoke.
"Lord Elrond…Hello, I hope you slept well?" Yoko said not wanting to say that this was her favorite place.
"Yes, are my sons treating you right?" Elrond asked.
"Yes, of course, they are very nice to me." Yoko said cheerfully but then stopped looking toward the forest she was frozen with a face that said 'fear' all over it.
"What is it?" Elrond asked looking at the same direction but not finding what had caused her to be afraid.
"A snake…If there is one thing that I am afraid of more than anything else, more than the one ring too, is a snake. They give the shivers…" Yoko said her eyes tightly closed. Elrond resisted the urge to laugh and led her back inside to the dining room where they were having breakfast. Yoko instantly turned away from the food and ended up face to face with Elladan, she blinked and smiled politely. Not really wanting to see either him, Ellrohir or Legolas. She wanted to avoid them but now there was no choice.
"Hello, Elladan it is nice to see you again." Yoko said successfully sounding cheerful.
"Yes it is, I hope you slept well." Elladan said acting like last night never happened.
'Why is he acting like yesterday never happened? Is he going to use what he found out against me?' Yoko thought as she sat down and slowly drank her glass of milk. Legolas and Ellrohir came in and sat next to Elladan and Yoko. Yoko finished drinking her milk and got up.
"I am going to go for a walk since I do not like to be around food for too long." Yoko said and walked out of the room where they were eating. Yoko went back to the lake where Hissyfit was still sleeping she picked him up and jumped into a tree. Hissyfit woke up in surprise but relaxed when he realized that it was Yoko. He purred and extended his claws.
"Now about that message?" Yoko asked.
"Isamu said that you should suppress there memories when you feel that they are starting to tell you what to do and you feel might tell Lord Elrond if you do not obey them. He also said that you should wait just in case that they are willing to accept the fact that you are not of any of the races in middle earth." Hissyfit said quickly so that anyone who was overhearing them would not understand him. And because they are in a tree no one can be sure who she was talking to. Elladan, Ellrohir, and Legolas were looking for Yoko when they heard a voice in a tree.
"Please tell me that that is you hissing Hissyfit." The voice in the tree said. They turned and could faintly see Yoko's feet dangling from one of the branches. A moment later they heard a shout and Yoko jumped down from the tree.
"I hate snakes! EEK! Why must I keep running into snakes today?" They heard Yoko shout as she ran and fell into the lake by accident. Yoko came out of the water and they noticed she was not wet.
"Yoko, are you alright?" the three of them said rushing to her. Yoko looked at them, nodded and turned to walk off but Legolas grabbed her hand.
"Why are you avoiding us?" Legolas asked wanting an answer.
"It's none of you concern!" Yoko said as she tried to loosen the grip.
"We are your friends of course it concerns us if you are avoiding us." Elladan stated and Yoko stopped.
"What did you say you were?" Yoko asked not looking at them.
"Your friends?" Ellrohir said uncertainly. Yoko smiled as she cried silently she turned to them and saw the tears.
"No one, has ever said they were my friends after they found out about me. They would abandon me or try to get me to do the stuff they wanted me to do and if I refused to obey them they threatened to tell my secret. I would always suppress there memory when either of those two things happened." Yoko said and started to sob quietly as she stared at the floor. The three of them stared at each other then back at Yoko.
"Hey, it's ok. We won't stop being your friends just because you have powers that you did not ask for." Legolas said holding her shoulders and kneeling down next to her. Yoko smiled and leaned on his shoulder with her eyes closed.
"Diola lle." Yoko said translations thank you
"That still doesn't explain why you were avoiding us…" Ellrohir said confused.
"I did not want to suppress my existence from your memories." Yoko said though it was a bit muffled in Legolas shoulder.
"You can suppress memories?" Elladan asked surprised. Yoko nodded and buried her head more into Legolas shoulder.
"Yes, and I hate it!" Yoko said her crying had almost stopped but there were still a few tears that were flowing down her cheeks. Yoko took a step back from Legolas and smiled happily.
"Thanks for cheering me up! I really appreciate it, and now I don't have to hide stuff about me unless someone that doesn't know about me is around. Anyway, I have to go see you all later! Tenna' san' " Yoko said and darted off toward her room running backwards as she waved at them until she disappeared around a corner. Translations Until then
Before they could say anything to each other she came back and grabbed Hissyfit then ran off with Hissyfiit in her arms waving at them again.
"I don't see why she hates having the power to suppress memories." Ellrohir said confused.
"Maybe she just thinks differently than us." Elladan said just as confused.
"I wonder if she can suppress other things besides her existence." Legolas wondered out loud as the other two shrugged.
Back to Yoko
Yoko ran to her room not really paying attention to where she was going but vaguely knew that she was heading toward the right direction. Hissyfit had gotten out of her grip and was now walking beside her. Yoko closed her eyes as she walked which she instantly regretted as she bumped into someone and fell to the floor hard. Yoko blinked and looked up to the elf that she had bumped into and blinked when she saw it was none other than Glorfindel.
"Amin hiraetha I should have watched where I was going." Yoko said looking at him in the eye to prove that she meant it.translation is im sorry
"So you do speak elvish, very impressive. It is quite alright no harm was done." Glorfindel smiling at her in a nice way. Yoko smiled back as Hissyfit jumped on her head which made her laugh and pet him in the head.
"I only know a little Elvish; I have to go to my room now so I will see you later hopefully. And sorry about the way I acted yesterday!" Yoko said cheerfully as she ran backwards to her room. Yoko smiled as she made it to her room, she was so happy that she had finally found some real friends that didn't care about what she was or about the abilities she had. Isamu was her friends too but he was overprotective about her safety. She sighed happily as she jumped on the bed and buried her head in the pillow, not noticing the stranger in her door way watching her curiously. Yoko finally became aware of the figure and mentally congratulated herself for not speaking out loud.
"May I help you in any way?" Yoko asked politely.
"Lord Elrond requests your presence." The servant said.
"Alright let me just change." Yoko said wondering what Lord Elrond wanted with her. She changed into a blue dress that once again only went up to her knees. The servant looked at it disapprovingly but led the way either way. They made it and the servant knocked on the door.
"Enter." They heard from inside and the servant opened the door for Yoko.
"Diola lle." Yoko said and went in. Yoko sighed and went in putting on a happy face.
"You wanted to see me Lord Elrond?" Yoko asked curiously and noticed there was old looking guy with a pointy hat in one of the corners, but she pretended not to notice him incase he was trying to make himself unknown to her.
"Yes, please sit down." Elrond said and Yoko quickly obeyed.
"Did I do something wrong?" Yoko asked confused.
"No not at all, I am just curious about why it is that you can only drink milk." Elrond told her explaining why she was there at the moment.
"Ah…ano…that is a bit complicated to explain…lets just say im from a race that isn't supposed to be known by any other race. How can I put this? Ano… Ay esto es muy duro de explicar!" Yoko said in Spanish earning a strange look from Elrond. For those of you who don't know, ano means umm.
"Hee hee, bad habit. I speak in different languages when I get nervous." Yoko said scratching the back of her head looking slightly guilty.
"Not to worry but what is it that you said in another language? I have never heard that language before.
"Well the language was Spanish and I was saying that I was having a hard time explaining." Yoko said looking down.
"What can you tell me then?" Elrond asked.
"Umm, you have great sons? There real fun!" Yoko said happily fully knowing that wasn't what he meant.
"Yoko…" Elrond said looking at her softly. Yoko blinked and sighed softly looking at the floor.
"Let's just say that I have powers that im still learning to control and that is all im saying." Yoko said.
"Very well, I would like for you to attend the council tomorrow." Elrond told her.
"Yes sir. Oh and you can stop hiding I already know your there." Yoko said surprising both Elrond and the pointy hat person as she walked out the door before they could say anything else.
