Chapter 4: To save one world.
An hour later the group of soldiers left with Aragorn in the lead on Raukos back, who was in his dragon form. Legolas road upon Sions forest green back, Gimli was upon Tasukis multi color back grumbling something about rather riding horses. While Gandalf road upon Rushiko's pale green back, the solders all road two to three to a dragon after them.
The citizens that where left watched as their soon to be king road upon the king of dragons back into battle to defend them. They got another show a few minuets later with Kirara and Kagome transforming. Sango and Miroku quickly jumped onto Kiraras back as she prepared to take to the air with a majestic leap. Kagome had taken her demon form and fallowed close behind Kirara with her own leap and beating of her majestic wings.
They quickly caught up to the group of soldiers both human and non. Kagome feeling like lifting the spirits of the men soared in and out of the dragons and each dragon gave a thunderous battle roar filled with, both happiness to know that their princess was with them and to give strength to those around them. When Kagome reached Gimli she smiled lightly and said, "Relax dwarf prince it is not far to the battle. Plus you might actually like the ride." Gimli just growled and waved his ax at her as she flew away with a little laugh. Kagome flew next to Gandalf next and said, "Are you sure you should have come?" Gandalf smiled and said, "And what stay back and keep the little hobbits out of trouble, no this is more for me." With that Kagome smiled and veered away to find Legolas.
When she found Legolas, standing on the back of his dragon who was flying to the side of the whole back she smiled and warned Sion what she was going to land on his back for a minuet. "Greetings, Legolas." Kagome said as she alighted down onto the dragons back. "Greetings, Kagome." Legolas said slightly distracted by his thoughts. "You seem to be lost in your own thoughts, care to say them out loud? I may be able to help you sort them." She said in a soft and gentle tone. "The odds of this next battle are not good, but I'm more worried for you. I am not quiet sure what my feelings are for you but I do know what I would do should you to die, I…" Legolas trailed off there. Kagome gently laid her hand on his shoulder and said, "You are right that the odds of the battle are not good, there is nothing that can change that but for me and my friends to come back as swiftly as possible with our task completed. I don't know how to put your mind at ease for me, but my heart tells me that I should say what I feel. So here it goes I am glad that you care about me that much and it gives my heart hope that you may feel as deep for me as I feel for you. I should not say this before battle but there is a chance that I may not return." Kagome paused trying to find the words to express what she felt and Legolas turned to look at her straight in the eyes as she said her next words. "I have known you only a short time but my souls feels as fit it has always been near you and….I…I love you."
Legolas felt great joy from those words and quickly knew he was slowly falling for her as well. He caressed her face as his other hand wrapped itself around her waist and pulled her gentle towards him. As he lowered his head to hers he whispered, "Thank you" before gently kissing her lips. Kagomes heart filled with joy and shock at what he was admitting and whole heartedly returned his gentle kiss. Kagome pulled away slightly and gave Legolas a blissful smile before she said, "I'm glade, but it is time for me to go." She said the last part with a little sadness and fully stepped out of his embrace. "Please take these. Yours are almost to warn to use for much longer." Kagome said as she pulled her bow and quiver from her back and handed them to Legolas. "Thank you and please come back alive." He said as he accepted her gift. Kagome smiled once again and took off while she shouted over her shoulder, "I promise."
Once the two groups separated it only took Kagome and the others a few hours of flying before they reached their destination. Knowing the others would not reach theirs for another day they set up camp and waited until dawn to move onto their next task.
The others arrived at their destination the next day early in the morning. The black stone gates loomed over the group of human soldiers like death looms over the corpses of the battle field. The dragons waited about a mile away from their riders; waiting for their signal to aid the battle.
Far away Kagome along with Sango, Miroku and Kirara crept threw the ranks of orcs, looking for the young Halflings. Kagome looked up to check on the eye and saw it had focused on something to the left and towards the mountain. On the verge of panic Kagome snarled, "We must hurry they are over there and the eye has spotted them. I'm not sure if the young hobbit can last long under its gaze." Sango and Miroku nodded their heads and started to move a little more recklessly threw the masses of orcs.
The others where waiting for the right time to draw the eyes gaze to them. "We must go now." Gandalf said seriously and headed towards the black gate separating the two lands. Legolas, Gimli and Aragorn all nodded their heads in understanding and fallowed closely behind Gandalf to the gates of Mordor. Coming to stand before the gates Aragon was the first to speak, "Saron we have come before your doors to declare war. Come fight us." Suddenly the Sarons eye was focused on Aragorn and all could clearly hear the menacing laughter of the eye as it spoke, burning words into their minds, "You think that you can defeat me with such a little army. HAHAHA, you shall die for your foolishness." The black gates then slowly opened to show hundreds of thousands of orcs already prepared for the upcoming battle.
Kagome ran faster, having seen the eye's focus shift to where the others should be, and urged the others to do so as well. The orcs by now had drastically decreased in numbers and what orcs they did happen upon they killed instantly rather than waist the time to try and hid from them. Thinking of getting there faster Kagome started to fly low to the ground hoping to avoid the eye's attention while gaining ground. Sango and Miroku had by this time given up on trying to keep up with her on foot and jumped onto Kirara's back.
In the back of Kagome's mind she heard the dragons roar as they entered the almost futile battle. By the time they reached the side of the mountain they where already almost exhausted from their mad dash there. Upon entering the cave they found two hobbit and something they couldn't quit name. One of the hobbits was about to throw the ring into the river of lava when suddenly he wore a twisted grin and said, "I can't do it. Think of the power Sam." When the other hobbit protested he slipped the ring onto his finger with a scowl and disappeared. "NO!" Kagome yelled out to where the hobbit had once been.
Frodo turned his attention to the sudden objection and took a slight step back at the sight of the angered, yet sad, woman. "It is mine. The ring wants me." Frodo exclaimed. Suddenly he was thrown to the ground by Smeagal. Sango and Miroku rushed to check on the dehydrated Sam as Kagome glided over to where the two where wrestling on the ground. Kagome kicked the two when she reached them and growled, "You idiot! You stupid, weak, little idiot." Kagomes presences did noting to crease the fighting of the two hobbits that where both controlled by the rings power. "Give me my precious." Smeagal said as he grabbed Frodos hand and bit down. Screaming in pain Frodo threw Smeagal off of him and over the edge of the cliff into the golden lava below. Frodo clutched his hand that was bleeding profoundly from the loss of his finger, as Kagome picked him up by the back of his shirt. "You are truly mad, you hobbit." Kagome said. As she turned she saw the ring lying on the group near the edge of the cliff, it's golden color tempting some one to pick it up. Frowning Kagome kicked the ring over the edge and smiled with satisfaction as it hissed in pain and slowly melted into the lava it was created from.
"Kagome I hate to tell you this but Kiraras to tired to carry us back and since you haven't fully recovered yet you don't have the power to transform into your dragon form. What are we going to do?" Miroku asked as he helped Sam to his feet. Kagome looked around and said, "Well first we have to get out of here and hope that my father will come and get us." Nodding their heads Sango, Miroku, Kirara, Sam and Kagome, with Frodo flung over her shoulder, walked/ jogged with their tired bodies away from the inside of the erupting volcano. They didn't get very far when they had to seek refuge on a rather large rock.
Rauko snarled and snapped at the orcs surrounding him as he protected the three beings his daughter had befriended. They had been battling for almost three hours when they saw the tower start collapsing in upon its self, while the eye screamed out if pain and horror. The group of men and dragons looked around them as the gates to Mordor snapped shut and the ground began to crumble beneath their feet. Moving quickly the human's hopped onto the dragons nearest them and took flight to avoid the same fate as the orcs. "We need to make sure Kagome and the others are ok." Legolas said with a hint of worry in his voice. Rauko agreed fully with the elf prince and took off towards the mountain with Rushiko in tow behind him.
"There they are." Kagome yelled over the sound of rushing lava. Sango and Miroku Stood up on the nice size rock and waved their hands in the air to signal where they where. Rauko landed partially in the lava not fearing its heat and said, "Are you ok my daughter?" Kagome grinned and climbed/ flew onto his back. Legolas was quick to scoop her up into his arms and sighed in relief to find her in one piece. Rushiko by this time had landed and the others where on his back. "Ok lets go home, dad. I need some rest." Kagome said and they took off towards the castile of Gondor.
It had been four days since they had returned and Kagome had yet to wake from her sleep. Only a day ago Frodo had woke with feelings of shame now all they where waiting was for Kagome to wake. Legolas had only left her side to greet Frodo and to eat/ use the restroom other wise he was by Kagomes side, filled with growing worry for the one who had stolen his heart with a glance. "You should rest, elf prince. She is just recovering from when they came threw the doors of worlds." Rauko said trying to convince the Legolas that she was fine. Knowing what he said helped little Rauko left the room in which his daughter slept peacefully and let Legolas to sit in silence.
It was another two days before Kagome sat up and said, "How long was I out." Legolas, who had been worrying out of his mind sighed in relief of her waking and said, "I would say a week. I suppose you would like to clean up and change your clothes." Kagome smiled and said, "Thanks Legolas." Legolas then smiled before leaving the room. Kagome took a quick bath and changed her form into that of an elf's. She wore a deep green tunic and tan breeches with her hair once again pulled back into a messy braid.
Stepping out into the hall Kagome meet with Legolas and they when to meet with the others. "Hello young Frodo." Kagome said as she entered the dinning hall with Legolas at her side. Frodo glanced at her and said, while blushing, "How do you do, miss." Kagome smiled and giggled lightly at his shyness and said, "I am Kagome. Oh and I'm sorry for what I said so harshly to you when I rescued you, but I could not help and state your foolishness." Legolas smiled, while Frodo just stared at Kagome with a look of pure shock. Turning to Legolas Kagome said, "Let us go to the practice grounds please, my love." Smiling Legolas lead the way out of the dinning hall and to the archery field. That was where Legolas told Kagome about the up and coming ceremony to crown Aragorn. Delighted Kagome made plans of her own for the occasion.
The next day they held Aragorn's crowning ceremony. The People of the castile had all come to see along with the leaders of the elves and some others. The Dragons clung to the tops of buildings and to the side of the long wall of the castile to witness the new age. "Now I present to you Aragorn King of Gondor and the age of man." Gandalf said as he stepped aside from crowning Aragorn. Arwen walked calmly forward from her father's side and took her place next to Aragorn as his Queen to be. Smiling Aragorn took her hand and they walked threw the crowd as it parted for them. As they walked by the hobbits they bowed, upsetting Aragorn slightly. "Please you are my friends. If anyone should be bowing it should be me to you for your bravery." Aragorn said while bowing slightly to the young hobbits. When they reached Kagome they dragons did not part. "Caring Aragorn, you have shown to me and my father that you are a trust worthy king and will listen to your people. We would like to reestablish the treaty talks your ancestors so foolishly threw away. What do you say?" Kagome said as she stood regally next to her father in her half form. She was wearing a golden gown that lightened her and gave her the look of a goddess.
"I thank you for the chance to redeem my people Princes Kagome." Aragorn graciously accepted. Smiling Kagome said, "Now we have a present for you." Kagome pulled out a tinny dragon the size of a large cat. "This is a lesser species of dragons. Though it is still a baby, when it grows it will be helpful in battle and other thinks. Please take good care of it." Kagome continued before turning away and slipping into Legolas' waiting arms.
Life was quiet for them after that. Aragorn was busy with his kingdom, Gimli had gone back to the dwarves still cursing Kagome and the dragons. Frodo and the others had gone back to the Shire and where living generally happy lives. All the while Kagome roamed the land with Legolas at her side, but as the time the elves were ready to leave grew Kagome grew sad at the thought of Legolas leaving to go to the west.
"I guess it is time for you to leave for the west, Legolas. I will surely miss you." Kagome said here eyes filled with tears refusing to fall. Legolas looked startled as he helped Bilbo on to the last boat. "What do you mean?" Legolas asked as he looked at the saddened elf Kagome. "Are you not going to the west?" Kagome questioned back. "No." was Legolas' simple answer. "But the pull?" Kagome questioned once again. Legolas just smiled and pulled Kagome into his arms and said, "I feel a much greater pull to you." Smiling in pure bliss and happiness Kagome threw her arms around Legolas' neck and hugged him.
Pulling apart slightly they turned to watch as their friend and the last of the elves drifted away. Kagome waved and smiled for a minuet then turned back to Legolas and rested her head on his chest. Looking away from the slowly drifting away boat Legolas looked down at Kagome. He then lightly tilted her head back and kissed her as the sunset behind them and kissed the sweet waters.
