Chapter 15
"Well I guess we only seem to meet during times of war," Sam replied, "Though, I wish it was under better circumstances. Do you know how the orks arrived so close to these parts, Legolas"
"Not a clue, I haven't heard any reports about any major problems out here," Legolas answered, "Though, Aragorn didn't say anything when I mentioned that I was going this way".
"Curious," Sam said, "There has been no signs of anything like this in the Shire".
"They must be warned," Legolas said, "You should head back to the shire, and warn them. While I head to Minas Tirith".
"I was taking this group with me to Bree, the Prancing Pony to find a guide for them to get to Minas Tirith," Sam said, "Can you take them, it's not they'll hold you back to much".
"I will," Legolas answered, "We'll go to Bree, They should be warned".
"Agreed," Sam said, "Frodo we've got to get back to the shire quickly".
"Alright," Frodo replied.
"Once we enter Bree, we'll spend the night at the Prancing Pony," Legolas said, "I'll be gone for a bit. I need to collect certain items".
It took mere moments for them to convince the guard to open the small gate. They entered, and soon found them themselves at the Prancing pony. Arranging sleeping quarters was rather easy, the only problem was when Yuka and Eri found out that they had to sleep in the same room as Legolas and Sesshoumaru. Though they only argued because they didn't know Legolas well. Sesshoumaru..., they thought that he was either that had no interest in relationships, or was... Either way he wasn't the reason they argued it. But in the end, both Eri, and Yuka agreed.
The groups antics did not end there, Eri and Yuka found the beer. And soon were completely drunk, and it take that long at all. After all they never really had anything like that before. The crowd that usually formed had taken an interest. Which left Sesshoumaru to attempt to
make sure that nothing happened to either of them. And he had a hard time dealing with it, he didn't want to show anything of his power, so he tried to talk them about going to their room, and sleeping. Both Eri and Yuka didn't want to and when Sesshoumaru didn't stop, they separated, and forced Sesshoumau's hand. He convinced Kilala from allowing anyone from escaping, and once Kilala transformed. The crowd panicked, and tried to run for their lives. Only that Kilala was in the entrance, the crowd started heading to the rear exit, to find Sesshoumaru waiting right in front. The crowd tried to force it's way through, they just
bounced off of him. People started to smash through the windows, and escaped, others tried hiding behind objects. Until Eri, and Yuka were left out well into the open, Sesshoumaru finally moved, behind Eri and Yuka. He gave them no option and they finally went to their room. Through they didn't go to sleep easily though.
Legolas returned, expecting that it was them, and curious as to the reason why. By that time though, Eri and Yuka were asleep. He laid package by each of their bodies. And then went to his bed and fell asleep.
The next morning.
Sesshoumaru roused Eri, and Yuka out of their sleep, found himself annoyed at their unwillingness. Sure they had a hangover, but they had to get to Minas Tirith quickly. He kept on annoying them until they finally gave in.
"What are these doing here?" Eri asked, still very annoyed.
"Legolas brought them here after you two fell asleep," Sesshoumaru answered, "They're yours".
"Why? We've never used anything like this before," Eri said, "What use will they be to us?"
"On our travels to Minas Tirith, I'll teach you how to use it," Legolas replied, "We need to get going".
"Do you know how long it will take to arrive at Minas Tirith," Legolas answered.
"It will take a coulpe weeks on foot," Legolas answered, "Though, I've arranged for horses. For each of us, and an extra for supplies."
"I won't need a horse," Sesshoumaru declared, "I will only scare the horse, and I can keep up with them on foot".
"You'll scare the horses?" Legolas questioned.
"My demonic powers scare almost all animals off," Sesshoumaru replied, "I'll stay just near the group. Within hearing range, and I will know when and if you change your directions".
"Alright," Legolas answered, "We'll meet you at the main gate, once we get the horses".
Sesshoumaru left to the main gate, while the others went to get their ride. Upon hearing that Sesshoumaru won't be in eyesight, Eri and Yuka were immediately thrilled. Soon the met up with Sesshoumaru at the main gate. Sesshoumaru startled each horse, and quickly left without a word there after. Their short stop at Bree ended, and they returned to their quest to arrive at Minas Tirith resumed.
Late the same day. Just after they ate, and set up camp, with about only around forty five minutes of day light remaining. Legolas was teaching Eri and Yuka how to use a bow. And it was turning out horribly. Most arrows went way off target and deep into the shrubs. So deep that they couldn't find many off them. Until Kilala started to help, she quickly retrieved all of them. Legolas continued to try and show Eri and Yuka how to use the bow. And this time, Eri hit something. She hit Sesshoumaru, she caught him off guard, and got him in the shoulder. He merely looked over at her. Pulled the arrow out, and left the line of fire. After all, he was right in they way himself. Eri and Yuka were shooting at the same object, from the position for every arrow shot. They soon ended their lesson, and retrieved all their arrows. And soon after fell asleep. Resting for the next day, it was not Eri and Yuka's choice either, with Sesshoumaru around. They had no option in the matter.
