AN:I'm so sorry if this chapter is wonky I didn't have time to check it over. So, I'm sorry if there's anything wrong with it. AND I VERY VERY SORRY FOR TAKING SO LONG TO UNDATE.

Chapter Four: Butt Kicking Fights and Clothes

"Fists," he said as calmly. I nodded as readied myself, leaving my hands at my sides. He smirked and went into the classic boxer stance. I cocked my head to the side and didn't smile. This usually unnerved most of my opponents because it looked like I was checking them out(which I kinda was at the time).

"Ready when you are, Cher," I drawled then licked my bottom lip. I felt that get his attention as he nodded and began to circle me. I stood perfectly still watching him with my eyes. When he was behind me he moved to tackle me. I dropped to my stomach. There was a few chuckles as he flew over top of me and dove into the dirt. I got to my feet.

"I didn't even have to touch you and you're already in the dirt. Tsk, tsk, Cher," I remarked looking down at him. He glared at me as he got to his feet and dove at me again.

This time he caught me in the stomach and I was on the ground with him on top. He held both my arms tightly, above my head. I smiled, through the pain that lanced along my injured arm.

"Not that I don't mind the position we're in... But,"I kneed him in the stomach and as his grip loosened, I rolled. "I like it better when I'm on top,"I murmured as I sat on his chest, my knees holding his arms down.

"Hmm... looks like I won this round," I said softly in his ear before rolling off him and getting to my feet in one graceful move. He got to his feet and glared at me, I smirked back. "Care to try again, mon cher?" I asked, arching a brow. I felt his anger as he nodded again.

He moved more cautiously this time and he didn't try to tackle me. I grinned and gave him a "come on," gesture. He took a swing I dodged it and he moved to take another, I ducked. But he was ready for me and back handed me instead. SMACK. I stumbled back a little, I felt blood trickled down my chin.

I licked the blood from my lip and winced slightly as my tongue touched the fresh split. I looked at him in mock surprise, "You hit like a child, Cher," I remarked with a little smile. I walked towards him until I was about a foot from him.

"Let me show you how to hit, mon ami," I said lightly then punched him in the jaw then backed a pace away. He head whipped to the side, and he doubled over a little before turning back towards me.

"Not bad," he said softly as he lightly touched his jaw. I grinned at him just before I spin kicked him in the head. The crowd groaned as my opponent dropped to the ground.

"How was THAT?"I said sarcastically as I looked down at him. He, was face down in the dirt, groaned. "Do you yield? Or, would you like to me to added to the pain?"I inquired with an ironic smile. He rolled onto his back and slowly got up. I watched him warily as he gained his feet and looked at me.

"I yield to you, my lady and with it my respect," he said quietly his gaze never leaving mine. I bowed to him, which seemed to surprise him, then turned and exited the sparring circle. Legolas was standing there with his arms crossed not looking at all happy.

"I hope you feel better now" he said irritated. I walked up to him and dabbed at my lip and nodded.

"I feel MUCH better now," I said with a self-confidant smile. For a spilt second Legolas' face softened a little before he covered it.

"Well at least something good came out of this," he remarked, then grimaced as he looked behind me. I turned to see what he was looking at and say the guy I just sparred with walking towards me.

"So Legolas YOU know this captivating woman?"my now very dirt covered opponent asked with bemused expression on his face.

"Uh, yes," Legolas said with a smile then added in almost inaudible undertone, "Unfortunately."I could of smacked him for that, but instead I glared at him. He ignored me though, "This is lady Brandy, she will be staying until she has healed enough to travel home," Legolas explained.

"Healed?" the blond elf said in disbelief, "you fought me hurt?"I nodded. "I admire your bravery,
híril nín. You are an amazing warrior," he complimented. I nodded my thanks.

"I don't know about anyone else but I'm hungry and I need to know where the kitchens are to remedy that," I said looking at Legolas, who nodded and turned to leave. I was about to fallow when the blond elf spoke again.

"My Lady, your fighting skills are very interesting. Where did you acquire them?" he asked moving to walk beside me. I smirked.

"Here and there, but mostly from my Grandfather, I suppose," I said with a shrug. "Why do you ask?"I stopped and looked at him curiously.

"I would like you to help with training of the Imladris' guards," he asked as though he just wanted to know if I liked sugar in my coffee. I stared at him in disbelief.

"You would like what?"I said in surprise, my eyes wide. Shit... please don't tell me I just kicked the butt of some important elf-lord, I begged silently.

"Glorfindel, you are being unkind. You haven't even introduced yourself to her," Legolas chided the blond haired elf in front of him. Crap... I did, I though with annoyance. Why the hell do I always go along with my impulses? All they do is get me into trouble.

"I am sorry, híril nín for my rudeness," Glorfindel replied with a little bow. "I am Lord Glorfindel Warden of the Imladris and advisor to Lord Elrond,"he said with a smile, as he took my hand and kissed it. I arched a brow at him, then at Legolas.

"Nice to meet you I'm sure, but what is this about you wanting me to help you with training the Rivendell Guard?"I asked not be put off.

"You have skills híril nín and I would like your help,"Glorfindel stated looking at me eagerly. I glanced at Legolas and smirked because I could feel his total surprise and annoyance.

"Yeah, sure. Why not," I said with a smile. "If I am to do this I will not tolerate disrespect to me or to anyone else," I stated looking Glorfindel straight in the eye.

He nodded. "Of course,"he said not breaking my eye contact.

"Good,"I murmured as I turned and started to walk away. "Be ready, Lord Glorfindel," I called over my shoulder. I walked back the way I came.

"Do you realize what you just did?" Legolas asked as he ran up behind me. I glanced back at him and smiled.

"No not really,"I replied with a shrug. He stared at me.

"You just beat Lord Glorfindel in a fight," he sound almost at awe. I stopped and stared at him.

"Well he was horrible, if he was the best I'd hate to see the worst," I remarked off handily.

"He is the Warden of the Rivendell Guards," he stated, fallowing me. I smiled.

"Really? So he was the best?"I replied. "That's sad," I added with a chuckle. I stopped and turned to face him ,when I noticed Legolas had stopped. He was staring at me.

"What?"I asked curiously.

"You sound like your asked to help train guards all the time," he sounded astounded. I smiled.

"In sense I do, I've trained mainly m-my friend,"my voice cracked, I shook my head slightly to rid myself of unpleasant thoughts, "I-I trained several students of my grandfathers,"I added in a restrained voice as I turned to head back to the house.

X X X

"Do you even know where you are going?" Legolas inquired with a slight smile as he fallowed me pass the same statue twice. I glared at him.

"Are you going to help me, or just watch me starve to death?"I muttered angry with myself for not eating the morning I went on my hike. He laughed.

"You passed the kitchens four passages back," he remarked, "that way," as he pointed down the corridor I just exited from.

"... Thanks,"I turned back down the corridor he said the kitchens were, then I stopped when I noticed he wasn't fallowing. "Aren't you coming?"I said frowning. He was staring at me again. He shook his head slightly when he noticed I was looking at him.

"Uh...,"he coughed, "of course,"he said his brow furrowed slightly as he nodded and stepped closer.

"Day dreaming were you?"I inquired with a little smirk. A pink tinge painted his cheeks as I looked at him. "Come on, I'm hungry and standing here won't fill my stomach,"I stated and motioned for him to lead. He hastily moved to lead. I grinned at him as I fallowed him to the kitchens.

I looked about as we entered a door, I passed like three times. I could of punched him for not pointing THAT out. I looked about at the kitchen. It was just like the olden days ones with enormous wood ovens to bake things in and fire pits for roasting meat on. The aroma of freshly cook pastries and breads filled the air, my mouth watered.

"Can I help you, Prince Legolas?" a female cook asked as she put a loaf of bread on the table. She glanced at me before turning to the oven again to put another loaf in.

"Yes, I would like two meals please, Lairawen"he said with a polite smile. Lairawen nodded and went to get their meals but not without one last glance at me.

"So this is the kitchens? hm," I said with an appreciative look around. I grimaced slightly as I saw some elves skinning a deer then gutting it. Legolas gave me a odd look. "Que?" I asked as turned back to him. He blinked in confusion.

" What?"I repeated in English.

"You have never seen an animal skinned before?" he asked with a frown. Inwardly I winced.

"Uh, once... it is not a sight I like to see very much," I mumbled, then looked for Lairawen, who was putting two plates on a tray. Along with two mugs and a flask. I smiled my thanks and picked the tray up. I walked over to a table in the corner and set it on the table.

I sat and pulled a plate towards me. I was about to dig in when I noticed Legolas still frowning at me. I put the fork I was holding down and looked at him, "What?"I asked both eyebrows raised.

"You didn't cook when you were travelling?"

"No, my friend did the cooking,"I answered quietly, a flicker of sadness passed over my face before I could cover it.

"We will find your friend, Brandy,"he said softly as he placed a hand on my arm. I shivered slightly as he touched my skin, my eyes suddenly sought out his. Crystal blue eyes met my gaze with unwavering intensity. 'This is fou. What the hell am I doing? I haven't even been here for even a day and I'm getting all wrapped up in some guy,' I thought ruefully. I looked away purposely braking eye contact.

"She can look after herself. After all, I taught her everything I know," I stated picking up my fork again and took a bite of my food.

"You were travelling with another woman?" Legolas asked, he sounded shocked. I glanced back at him in amusement.

"Why? She is like me, she has powers and training. She will be fine," I replied. "I'm just worried about her. She is young and impulsive,"I muttered going back to my food.

"How long have you known her?"

"I found her when she was nine. She was trying to pick my pocket,"I smiled, "I took her in and gave her a home with me and my Grandfather. She's twenty- three now."

"So in a sense you raised her like daughter," he remarked and nodded in understanding.

"I'd rather think of me being a big sister then a mother," I sais with a laugh. "I don't picture myself being a very good mother.

"I think you would make a good mother," he remarked matter-of-factly. I gave him a side ways glance and began to laugh.

"Yeah, the person who burns everything she touches and never changed a diaper in her life," I pointed out then added, "I'm a better fighter then a conventional woman." I began to eat again.

"It takes more then the ability to cook and look after small children," Legolas said softly as he picked up his fork and started to eat.

I spend rest of the day with Legolas, we mostly walked around until Arwen found us in the kitchens.

"Brandy, there you ARE," she sound very relieved to see me. "Are you alright?" she asked worry in her eyes.

"Yes, why wouldn't I be?"I said arching a brow. She looked from me to Legolas.

"You seemed very upset earlier,"she stated softly. Inwardly I grimaced, I wanted to forget about that little accident with Elrohir and speaking a completely different language.

"I'm fine now,"I replied not looking up from the cup in front of me.

"What happened to you lip?" she asked suddenly, in surprise.

"Uh... I got punched... backhanded really,"I replied. I felt a pang of shock from Arwen. I looked up, her eyes were wide and her mouth was open. I glanced at Legolas, he was smirking.

"How!"she asked her eyes still wide.

"Well, I went down to the sparring rings and fought a little,"I said with a little shrug as though it was nothing.

"Fought?"

"Yes, I needed to...relax,"

"Relax?"

"Yeah, you know unwind. Release tension," I said calmly. "I had so much pent up energy that I need to release it. So I kicked some butt,"I added with a shrug. Arwen just stared at me for a moment.

"Who did you fight?" she asked curiously after a while. I smirked and looked at Legolas.

"Would you like to tell her?" He shook his head.

"I'll let you have the privilege of that," he replied as he leaned back in his chair. I gave him a little grin before turning my attention back to Arwen.

"Lord Glorfindel," I said with indifference. Her jaw dropped again in disbelief.

"You didn't!"she stated in surprise. I nodded. She shook her head in amusement, "And?"

"She won,"Legolas cut in. "Twice, actually. Now he wants her to help train the Rivendell Guard," he added taking a sip from his mug.

"To help train the Guards? By Valar, you must be very skilled for Lord Glorfindel to ask you to do THAT," Arwen remarked. I arched a brow at her.

"Don't get me wrong female elves do train in the arts of war, But only to know how to protect themselves. Most females never go beyond basic weapons training. So it is very surprising that you have more skill then Lord Glorfindel and that he has asked for your help," she explained.

"Trust me, my skill goes beyond basic weapons training,"I stated with a little smirk.

"Good then you will be a welcome addition," she said with a kind smile. She then glanced at Legolas. "My brothers were wondering where you are,"she remarked still smiling.

"And they will continue to wonder until they find me. Until then I'm hiding from them," he remarked. I chuckled.

"And how are you going to do that?" I inquired with a arched brow.

"By staying with you and Arwen," he replied. Arwen and I looked at each other and burst out laughing.

"Why may I ask?" I asked once I had recovered from my laughter.

"Because they will begin to tease me about spending the day with you," he replied. I stared at him.

"But won't that just give then more licence to tease you?" I said with little smile. He opened his mouth to speak but quickly shut it.

"You do have a point," he admitted grudgingly. I smirked.

"I always do," I remarked with a little grin. Arwen laughed.

"She got you there, Legolas," she remarked with a little smirk. He gave me an annoyed look, I gave a little shrug in my defence.

I took another sip of what every was in my cup in front of me. Whatever it was didn't taste like wine or any kind of alcoholic drink I had tasted before. It was sweet, but it didn't coat your throat like normal sweet drinks did and it was clear.

"Uh, Legolas? What's this drink called?"I asked my curiosity getting the better of me.

"Miruvor. It's a sort of wine made from pears and other fruits," he explained. I nodded.

"It is one of the less potent wines," Arwen added with a slight chuckle. Legolas smirked slightly too. I looked from one to the other.

"Did I miss something?" I inquired confused. Legolas just shook his head.

"No, we were just remembering a incident with the twins and Lord Erestor," he replied. I arched a brow at him.

"Well, my brothers had the bright idea to get Lord Erestor drunk at the Hall of Fire," she explained. "But it didn't work out to well for them because lord Glorfindel noticed and told Erestor. Well, they both teamed up and switched my brothers' drinks to something a little stronger then what they had been drinking..."

"And your brothers got drunk while Lord Erestor and Glorfindel were sober?" I continued with a smile. She nodded. "Sounds like me and my brother," I mused.

"Brother? You have siblings?" Arwen asked in surprise. I nodded.

"Ya, a half-brother,"I said with a nod. "Same father, different mother," I explained.

"So he has powers also?" Legolas inquired looking at me intently. I looked down at my cup.

"I don't know... I haven't seen him in many years," I half lied. Legolas nodded in understanding. Relief went through me at this. I really didn't want to lie to them anymore then I had to. Arwen stood up and looked at me.

"We should go and get ready for dinner," Arwen stated looking at me. I looked down at myself. The dress I was in was well dusted with dirt and the once white bandages on my arm were now a tan colour.

"Uh... yeah, we should," I said with a embarrassed shrug and stood up. "I'll see you later, Legolas," I said awkwardly and let Arwen lead me back to her room.

"Are you sure you're alright, Brandy?" she asked once we were in her room.

"Never better," I replied. She stared at me for moment before going to her wardrobe and pulling out a rustic red dress with long draping sleeves and gold embroidery around the bodice and hem. With matching slippers.

"Here, you can wear this to dinner," she put the dress on a chair. "But first a bath," she added pulling me to the bathroom, "Call me if you need help washing or rinsing your hair," with that she closed the door.

I had an interesting time trying to wash my hair with one hand, I only had to call in once Arwen to help me rinse it. Afterwards once I was dry and wrapped in robe, she changed my bandages on my arm and helped me get dressed. There's one thing I have to say about elvish dresses they were pretty damn comfy and light. In my option the best kind to wear.

"So how would you like me to do your hair?' she asked as she finished combing my hair. I thought for a moment I was never one to fool round with my hair. I always put it in and braid or pony tail.

"Do what ever you want to it" I remarked with a shrug. Grinning, Arwen began to pin half it up and left the rest cascading down her shoulders in soft curls.

"Now, the finishing touch," She said as she showed me a simple headdress with a single gem that dangled from it. Arwen placed it on my head so the jewel laid in the middle of my forehead. After a few moments it was secure in my hair and she helped me put on the dress she lent me to wear.

"What are these?" she asked slightly bewildered. I looked over my shoulder to see what she meant. She was holding my bikini underwear up and looking at them with a confused frown on her graceful features.

"Those are my underwear, Arwen," I said trying not to laugh at her. If it was possible she looked more confused. "I wear it under my clothes," I explained trying to keep a straight face.

"Oh,"she put them on the bed with my other clothes. " And these?" she asked holding up my bra.

"It's a corset of sorts," I said vaguely as I attempted not to smile as she examined them.

"A corset?"

"Yes"I said turning away a little and smiled. "I should leave and let you get ready for dinner," I remarked turning to face her.

"Oh yes. Of course," she said looking up from my clothes distractly. "I will find you after I get dressed, alright?" I nodded and left.
