Kaguyaku: Ok I think I will make this a Usagi/ Aragon fic. I don't see any of these, and don't get me wrong I love Aragon/Arwen but I wanted to try this. So give it a chance ...I don't own LOTR or SM R&R!!

Revision: So I really didn't like how I just rushed into things in this chapter, so I'm going to try and work on the flow a bit. We'll see how it goes

It's strange as I sit here in this forest all alone I'm not afraid, I don't know where I am, or even when I am... All I know is that they betrayed me and the Crystal read my heart and brought me peace… in what form I do not yet know. This place is beautiful, nothing like Tokyo with its sky scrapers, shopping malls, and never ending crowds. So unlike me to think that, I know, I'm always at the arcade or off shopping. I can't explain this feeling really. To the naked eye one might just see a massive forest. But if you were to look and feel at the same time, there's something more just beyond what you can see. Like those times when you catch site of something from the corner of your eye, but when you turn to look, suddenly it's gone. The thought scared me a little, that maybe I would blink and all of this would disappear.

The trees here were old, you could feel it. The air here was thick with….what was it? Something I couldn't quite explain, and magic didn't even begin to describe it.

I only hope that here I can start anew, and be the graceful princess I used to be a long time ago.

Usagi stood and stretched her legs, the ankle length earth colored skirt she wore swirled about her "Finally I'm free" She laughed joyfully and spun around enjoying the sudden feeling of freedom. She paused quickly; a guilty look crossed her face, like a child caught doing something bad. She peeked around to make sure no one was watching. –Get a grip! You're alone in the middle of a forest. – sighing she reached up to brush her hair out of her eyes. For that matter…. She paused suddenly realizing that her hair was down, and now tangled all about her body. – When did that happen? –

Gathering her hair up all around her she automatically started putting it up in her usual style, but just as soon as she had started, she paused. – Hmmm….maybe not - letting her hair fall again she stared at it, contemplating – Perhaps, a new look for a new life – she smiled. Gathering her hair up once more she set up plating it in a simple braid that fell well past her waist, a few messy strands feathering out the frame her face. Slipping off the hair band she wore around her wrist her tied the hair off and let it swing behind her. – That'll due – With her hair braided back she blended into the forest more than she realized. The earth colored skirt, green bodice, and brown, knee high, lace up boots she had arrived in were perfectly suited for blending in with the forest.

"Now what should I do?" she sighed and looked around, mostly there was forest as far as she could see. "I guess I just pick a direction and look for civilization. I'm starving" her stomach rumbled in agreement.

Just as suddenly as she started, she stopped, the distinct sounds of a battle reaching her ears "I wonder what's going on, I wonder if I should help" She mentally sweat dropped at the irony of leaving one battle and heading into another, but her natural instinct to help was too strong to ignore. With that she ran towards the sounds.

The battle in question was actually a ways off and Usagi was beginning to wonder how she heard it in the first place, unfortunately she was so busy thinking that she didn't watch her feet and fell head over heels. Lucky she stopped a couple inches beside the stream instead of in it. She peered into the water and sighed, "That was close" then she let out gasp "My hair…" she trailed off.. Examining her hair and ogling her reflection. Her usual golden hair had masses of silver strands running through it, something about the effect made her face…. "I look more like Mother" she stared for another moment, wondering at the sudden change. "Just a little bit more than I used to" she shook her head violently, clearing her thoughts, as the sound of swords ringing brought her out of her momentary stupor. – Idiot, what are you doing just sitting there staring at yourself…people might need you! – giving herself a good mental slap, she rushed forward in what she hoped was the right direction.

When she finally made it to the clearing she stopped still. There were dozens of hideous creatures everywhere, snarling and rushing forward towards….a man.

There in the middle of it all was a man. Who, despite the swarm seemed rather calm. Skillfully wielding his sword he was taking down many more of the creatures than one would think a single man could. Gasping she noticed a stray orc sneaking up from behind, opening her mouth to scream out a warning, she was cut off by the dull thud of an arrow embedding itself in the monsters head.

She turned her gaze to the rock above where another man had appeared, gasping she whirled around to hide behind the nearest tree. Peering out she gazed at the new comer. – Definitely not human – Besides his unnatural beauty, his pointed ears were what captured most of her attention. – What is he? An….elf? Certainly not a Christmas elf – she mentally sweat dropped, but she had a vague memory of something similar in one of her brother's computer games that he always played.

"An elf, where did the crystal send me" She shook her head slightly "No matter, they might need help" She reached for her locket at her chest only to discover that it wasn't there. Her only weapon was a nearby sword, left over from one of the slain creatures. "Well what am I supposed to do now; I don't know how to use a sword"

"You will know, your powers are with you always, just not as they were before. Search inside of you and you will understand, the power is there" a voice whispered on the breeze barely audible.

"Who said that?!"

"Just search" and the voice faded away

"Search? What the heck does that mean!" Usagi wrung frantically at her hands. – Ok Usa, just calm down and think this through. The voice said my powers are always with me just in a different way - Usagi closed her eyes and reached for a power, just as she had always done when she used the crystal "I feel it" she murmured "The crystal is inside of me, I feel other powers, I feel Mars, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter...All of their powers are inside of me" and with that her eyes snapped open and she stepped into the clearing just as another one of the creatures was coming up behind the man.

"Hey ugly!"

All eyes turned to her and the creature stopped "Don't you know you shouldn't stab someone in the back!" The creature changed its course and headed straight at her. "Please let this work" She held her hands as if she was firing a bow and arrow "Mars Flame Sniper" and a bow and arrow of flames erupted in her hands for a brief moment before she let it fly. Not only did it take out the one creature but also the five others behind it.
She stepped back and readied herself again "Mars Flame Sniper!" but this time she didn't fire, instead she held it in her hand waiting for a target.

oOoOoOoOo

Aragorn breathed a brief sigh of relief when an arrow embedded itself it the head of his foe, that meant Legolas had come to help, he considered himself a good swordsman but even he had his limits. The orcs were everywhere just as he ran his sword through one; two more would take its place. He tensed, suddenly aware of a presence behind him, clutching his sword hilt tightly he prepared to spin around and face his enemy, but a voice beat him to it.

"Hey ugly!"

He turned around only to find that the source was girl. She had long silvery, golden hair that fell below her knees, tied back in a braid. Her eyes were a deep crystalline blue and for a moment he thought her to be and elf, however, she lacked the traditional pointed ears and actually appeared to be rather human. Suddenly the orc that she had yelled at made a dash for her. He slashed out at an orc that moved to attack him and then whirled around to yell for her to move. However she seemed to have other ideas as she moved her hands and if firing a bow, shouted some words and a bow and arrow of fire flared up in her hands. She released the arrow, which promptly took out five orcs, and then she readied herself with another. Who or what was this beauty? And was she and enemy or a foe?

oOoOoOoOoOo

Usagi let loose another arrow and cleared a pathway so that she could get closer to the man who seemed to being doing almost as good with his sword as she was doing with her arrow.

"I would ask you who you are and what form of magic you just used, but I think this is neither the place nor the time my Lady" The man yelled

She smiled slightly, charmed by the unique, yet polite way of speaking. Her reply was cut off as a horn blew in the distance, echoing through the woods.

"The Horn of Gondor" The elf shouted

"Boromire!" The man yelled before he took of in the direction of the sound, fighting his way through orcs as he went.

Usagi had to assume that this meant someone was in trouble and followed after him -How did I get myself into this, this is not the Usagi I know. I should be freaked out and crying by now. Instead I'm using my scout's powers and fighting and army of ugly creatures. I know I had to shape up eventually, but this isn't exactly how I envisioned it. - She looked around and took note of the situation, these creatures were everywhere and if they wanted to get to this Boromire in time they needed a clearer path. "The fire arrow won't be enough, but maybe if I tap into it enough Jupiter's thunder might be" she ran faster and managed to catch up with the others "Stand back" she yelled "I don't want to hit you"
They promptly moved out of the way as she readied herself.

oOoOoOoOoOoOo

Aragorn could hear the girl catching up with them and he briefly wondered if she had some form of magic to aid them in this dire situation.

"Stand back! I don't want to hit you" He heard her yell,

Let's see what she can do - he thought to himself, leaping off to the side

This time she crossed her arms at the wrist, held her hands above her head, and closed her eyes in deep concentration "Jupiter Thunder Dragon!!"

He watched in awe as bolts of lightning shot out and twined together to form a large dragon that seemed to open its jaws and swallow up the orcs. Thus leaving a pretty clear path, which he gladly used without a second thought. He just hoped that they could get to Boromire in time; it was bad enough that they lost Gandalf he didn't want to lose another.

oOoOoOoOoOoOo

Usagi breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't know how she pulled off the thunder dragon but it did the trick. She put on an extra burst of speed and somehow managed to move rather nimbly over the logs and rocks that obstructed the path. "When this is over I am going to sit down and figure out exactly what in the world is going on"

When she finally reached the wielder of the horn she skid to a stop her face etched with horror as a man took an arrow right in the chest "Oh no!" She followed the line of fire only to see the most gruesome creature yet. He obviously was stronger and in charge by the way the others cowered at his glare and kept a fair distance away. The man who had been hit stood up again his sword still clutched valiantly in his hands, and she suddenly saw why. He was protecting someone; there were two smaller children...no... they were men, but small, usually so. She had to help; the beast was readying himself for another shot. "No! Stop" She ran forward at speed she didn't know she had and just as he let the arrow fly she tackled the man to the ground. He groaned in pain beneath her as the arrow dug into his chest and she stood up quickly half to relieve his pain and half to protect him. The creatures were coming in fast she had to do something. And this something couldn't be done with the other scouts powers, but it could be done with hers. She closed her eyes a reached inside her seeking out the power of the Imperium Silver Crystal. Just then she felt it, a distinct, comforting warmth between her fingers. The crystal had shown itself, burning brightly and purely as ever. She held it up above her head and let it hover between her hands just as the creature let the third arrow fly "Moon Cosmic Power!!"...

Kagayaku: So how was it! I can't believe I started another fic. while I'm in the middle of one, I will do my best to update both as frequently as possible. R&R peeps R&R!!
