"Half-Bloods"

OK, here is a little something for Artemis Yuki daughter of Johan. She asked me to do this a while ago and here it is. Please enjoy and review!

For as long as Dai could remember, she has been dyslexic and it has been a pain for her when her school work was involved.

Not only that, but she also had ADHD and couldn't stay still when she was in her seat.

She was always tapping her fingers on her desk, her knees would be shaking and it would always make the teacher snap at her to pay attention.

It was frustrating for her to look up at the board or try to read things, only for them to be turned into blurred shapes.

Of course she wasn't the only one who had this problem.

No, her two fellow Digidestinds, Matt and TK, also had this problem, but managed to get along just fine with it.

The three also had a secret that they kept from their other Digidestind friends.

They were half-bloods, the children of the Greek Gods.

TK and Matt are the sons of Apollo, which explained Matt's talent for music.

Dai on the other hand is the daughter of Hermes, who was the true creator of the Digital World.

Apollo and Hermes have been trying for a while now to convince their children to go to Camp Half-blood, which is where all children who have a God parent go to learn skills to battle monsters that would be able to sniff them out and attack them or just cause trouble in general for anyone they cross.

The three had denied going because of the troubles going on in the Digital World, but now that the dangers were done, they had no choice but to go.

When school was out, the three were standing at the end of their street waiting for their ride to come.

"What do you think this place is like?" TK asked as he had three bags at his side.

"Who knows? Dad never told us more than the fact that we had to go to learn how to fight." Matt said with his guitar in its case slung over his shoulder with four bags with him.

"This could be fun. We'll be able to meet all of the other kids that are just like us." TK said with a cheerful look.

"Yeah, fun." Dai said with far less enthusiasm than her friends.

Her father may be the messenger of the Gods, creator of the internet and the Digital World, but he was also known as the King of Thieves and she was worried to meet her half brothers and sisters when she got to camp.

According to Hermes, her siblings were all pranksters, troublemakers and some even shoplifted.

TK and Matt would be meeting their half siblings who were great archers, musicians and singers.

It seemed more like the child of Miracles was the one who got the shorter end of the stick.

Finally, a cab pulled up and the three got into it to see a beast with many eyes on his body that only the half-bloods could see.

"Whoa, who is this guy?" Matt asked as he pulled his bags into the cab and placed them in the trunk as well.

"He's our ride. He was created by Hera I think. Can't really remember what his name is." TK said as Dai was already in the front seat talking to the monster.

As the ride went on, they learned the monster's name was Argus and they arrived at a forested area.

"What are we supposed to do here?" Matt asked.

"Normally a half-blood is escorted by a satyr, but since that is not so, you three will make the trip to camp yourselves." Argus explained.

"So we have to walk to camp carrying our stuff?" Dai asked.

"No, I will be taking them for you. Don't worry; they will not be touched by anyone." The monster assured.

The three shared a look, but just shrugged as the female opened the door and stepped out, the brothers following.

"Thanks for the lift, Argus." She said as she pulled a three gold coins out of her pocket and was about to hand them over, but he just shook his head.

"Keep them. You should save them for when you are given quests." He said.

"You sure?" she asked.

"Yes, I am. Now go on you three. Good luck." Argus said.

The monster then drove off in the cab as the three watched him go.

"What are those things, Dai?" Matt asked.

"They're gold drachmas." She explained.

"Instead of real money, the Olympians use them." TK further explained.

(Later…)

The two sons of Apollo and daughter of Hermes were walking through the forest that led to Camp Half-Blood, the place that people like them would be safe from monsters and trained to go on quests to defeat monsters that caused too much trouble.

"Are we almost at the camp yet?" TK asked as they walked on.

They had been going for an hour already and weren't able to even spot a sign of the camp.

Although, Dai was suspicious that she had heard footsteps following them, but shrugged it off as paranoia.

A group of teens walking in a darkened forest?

It was a horror movie classic.

"We should be there soon. Just keep moving forward. Besides, we should be happy that Argus brought our bags to the camp so we didn't have to lug it with us." Matt said.

The sound of a twig snapping made the only girl in the group tense up and look back over her shoulder to see that there were two angry red eyes gazing at them from the shadows.

"Run!" Dai yelled as she started running through the forest.

Matt and TK quickly chased after her, unsure of what made her take off like that.

As they went, Matt was panting hard since he wasn't a sports person like the two younger ones were.

"Why are we running?" he called.

"Didn't you hear it?" Dai asked as she kept running as fast as she could.

"Hear what?" TK asked.

There was then the sound of growling and hard puffing that made the brothers look back to see a large black bull-like creature chasing after them.

"Never mind." TK said as he sped up while Matt tried his hardest to catch up to them.

Dai and TK both saw that Matt was lagging behind, so they looked up to see a large tree was ahead of them.

"Minotaurs can't change direction fast enough." The blonde said.

"So we jump at the last minute." The girl said catching on to his plan.

"Matt, when we say it, jump to the left!" TK called to his brother.

The oldest of the trio looked confused, but nodded regardless of that.

As they kept running and Matt finally caught up to them, they were seconds away from hitting the tree when Dai screamed "NOW!" and the three jumped, the brothers going to the left while Dai dove to the right and the unlucky minotaur wound up getting one of his horns stuck in the thick trunk.

The three then quickly got up and stood together as they looked at the beast.

"Now what? We can't outrun that thing and I doubt we'll make it to camp in time." Matt said.

"I have an idea." Dai said.

Before she could even explain it, the Minotaur gave a hard pull and a mighty roar as it pulled out of the trunk, but its horn came off.

It then turned its attention to the three half-bloods and went after them, but Dai quickly shed off her sweater and jumped onto its back as she wrapped her sweater around its neck.

"Dai!" TK cried out in worry.

The Minotaur growled in anger as he bucked around to try to get the girl off of him, but she tightened the hold on her sweater around his neck.

"Get the horn! Use it to get him in the heart or head!" she called as she hung on for all she was worth to not get thrown off.

TK looked over to the trunk where the horn was and quickly ran over and tried to pull it out, but it was in too deep.

"I can't get it." he grunted.

Matt then ran over to help him as the Minotaur thrashed around, Dai screaming as she almost slipped off, but she tightened her thighs around the beast's middle to hang on.

"Why do cowboys do this for fun?" she shrieked.

The brothers grunted and huffed as they put all of their might into pulling on the horn until finally it popped out of the trunk and the force made them fall onto the ground.

"It's out. Now how do we use it?" Matt asked as sat up.

Dai screamed as she finally lost her hold and was sent flying about ten feet away through the air and then rammed back first into a tree.

"Dai!" TK called in worry for his friend as her body dropped to the ground with a thud.

As the Minotaur turned to the two brothers, Matt quickly picked up a sharp tree branch that he found and ran at the beast with it since he had no other weapon.

The Minotaur reared up on his back legs and got ready to stomp on the human, but he was distracted by the injured girl getting back up and throwing a rock at his head.

That was enough time for Matt to stab the beast in the eye with the stick.

The great beast gave a cry of pain as he then bucked away from the human to try to get the stick out while Matt ran over to check on Dai while TK was already helping her up.

"Are you OK?" TK asked.

"That depends; there are two blonde boys here, right?" she asked as Matt came up.

"Yeah." The eldest said with a grin.

"Then I'm awesome." The mahogany haired girl chirped.

"How do we beat that thing? It's too fast and strong." TK said as they turned their attention to the Minotaur of he tried to get the stick out of his eye with his front hoof.

"We still outnumber him." Dai said.

"She's right. We can't give up now." Matt said as his azure eyes sparked with determination.

"So what's the plan?" TK asked.

"All right. Um…Matt and I will distract him. Try to make him confused by getting him to chase both of us. While that's going, TK, you sneak up on him and-"

"Stab him in the head with the horn." Matt finished for the girl.

TK looked worried about this, but nodded as his brother and friend set off to distract the beast.

They were counting on him and he wouldn't let them down.

"Hey ugly, this way." Dai taunted as she stood on the right of the Minotaur.

The creature snorted angrily as he turned his head her way.

"No, this way. Come on, are you afraid?" Matt taunted as he stood on the left of the monster.

The two kept on yelling insults and stomping their feet or clapping their hands to make as much noise as possible to distract the beast, making him a bit dizzy as he tried to figure out which one to attack first.

While this was going on, TK was slowly creeping up behind the Minotaur with the horn, ready to attack.

Taking in a deep breath, he jumped up and grabbed onto the horn that was still attached to the monster and held on as the thing started to buck around.

Matt and Dai were there to help him out by grabbing branches that were on the ground and started hitting the beast to draw his attention to them while TK pulled himself up and raised the horn.

With a loud, deep yell, he plunged the horn right into the Minotaur's head.

The life in the menace's eyes slowly faded away as he slumped to the ground and burst into gold dust, making TK fall down onto the ground and was sputtering.

"Ew, I think I got some of it in my mouth." He said as he spat.

Matt gave a sigh of relief as he slumped to the ground while Dai squealed in excitement as she threw herself at TK, hugging him.

"TP, you totally just killed a minotaur! That was epic." She praised making him blush.

"It's TK and I wouldn't have done it without you guys." He said smiling at his brother as he returned his friend's hug.

The oldest of the trio shook his head in amusement as he then forced himself to stand even though his body was screaming at him to stay down to rest longer and then he cast a curious gaze to the girl of their group as she helped TK stand up.

How is it that Dai had taken on a worst hit and yet she was acting as though she was never injured?

That girl truly was a miracle child.

"Come on, lovebirds. Time to get to camp." Matt said.

Said 'lovebirds' stuck their tongues out at him, but then Dai cried out in pain as her adrenalin rush wore off.

"Dai?" TK asked.

"My back…" she groaned.

The two brothers helped lower her to the ground and inspected the dark bruise that was slowly forming there and there was even a gash as small specks of blood appeared.

"On a scale of 1 to 10, how badly does it hurt?" Matt asked.

"About a 7, I guess." Dai moaned.

"We'll have to carry her and be gentle. When we get to the camp, she needs to get to the infirmary." Matt said.

TK nodded as Matt helped him place the moaning girl on his back and she winced from the jolts in pain that shot up her spine from the movement.

They then started walking again, passing trees for about 15 more minutes until finally they found two red pillars that had a sign above it that read Camp Half-Blood in Greek.

Beyond the gate there were many different houses where the kids lived in, some even were even out at that moment.

A brunette with brown eyes and tanned skin who looked a bit like Dai saw them and turned, showing that he had a bronze chest plate along with a sword.

"What happened?" he asked as he ran over.

"We were attacked by a minotaur. Our friend took most of the damage." Matt explained as the new half-blood gently took Dai away from TK.

She looked up in his eyes, startled to see that they looked exactly like her own.

"I'll take her to the infirmary. You two go find Chiron. Argus showed up with luggage saying three new campers would be here soon. Go on." The male said.

The brothers nodded at this as he turned and sped off towards a wooden hut that had quite a few blonde kids inside of it.

Their friend was taken to a bed and was turned on her back as a blonde girl checked it over and started giving out orders.

"Let's go. I'm sure she'll be fine." Matt said as he took his brother's arm and led him off to go find Chiron.

(The next day…)

After being given some ambrosia to heal her back, Dai was told to rest up after the attack and stayed in the infirmary.

When the sun streamed light down on her from the window, she groaned and pushed herself up since she preferred sleeping on her front rather than her back.

"Good morning." A kind male voice greeted.

Looking over, she saw that it was a raven haired boy her age with beautiful sapphire eyes.

"Hi. Where are my friends?" she said sitting up properly.

He blinked at her sudden question, but just smiled when he realized that she was the type to put her friends above herself which was a good quality in his opinion.

"The sons of Apollo? They met Chiron and then were taken to their cabin and had a tour of the camp. How are you feeling? I can't imagine anyone would still be alive and well after riding a minotaur." He said as he sat in a chair that was beside her bed.

"I'm fine. Anyway, I'm Daisuke, daughter of Hermes. Who are you?" she asked with a smile.

"Koichi, son of Ares." He said.

She just blinked in surprise at that which made him laugh.

"I know, I don't look like a son of Ares, but it's true. My twin brother fits the profile better with his temper though." Koichi said.

"Huh." She merely said as she licked her dry lips.

Standing up, he held out his hand to her and she took it and was pulled up from her bed.

"I'll take you to see Chiron. You'll want to get your stuff before you go to your cabin." Koichi said.

"Thanks." Dai nodded.

The two then walked outside, passing different types of houses that looked either very nice or something from a horror move, namely the Ares house.

Among the crowd of strong looking boys and girls that were at the rough looking house, she was able to see a boy who looked exactly like Koichi, only he had longer hair with wisps of hair falling in his eyes and had a stern look on his face.

Koichi noticed who she was staring off at her met his brother's eye and gave a wave.

"That's Koji. He's younger by 3 minutes." He explained.

Koji watched the mahogany haired girl as she was led off by his brother, some of his half-siblings talking to him to get his attention, but he just scoffed and turned up his nose.

"Oh, hey." Dai said as she was soon walking next to Koichi when she thought of something.

"What happened to that guy last night, the one who found me, TK and Matt?" she asked.

"You mean Takuya? He watched over you last night, but then I came in this morning so he could go rest up. You'll be meeting him soon enough." Koichi assured with a knowing sparkle in his eyes.

The Daughter of Hermes gave him a questioning look, but then was interested in the wall that some kids were climbing that had rocks pelted down at them and lava at the bottom.

Off in a different part were some kids who were mostly blondes that were shooting arrows at targets, so they must be the Apollo children.

It was confirmed when she spotted Matt and TK were with them, the younger struggling a bit to knock his arrow on the bow correctly, but was helped by a blonde haired girl with green eyes.

They passed the Hephaestus house where a burley brown haired male was doing some metal work and sent Koichi and Dai a smile along with a wave before he went back to using a hammer on the metal to mold it.

"Here we are." Koichi said making Dai look over to see a normal looking cabin that was big and had a porch with a centaur playing sitting back reading a novel.

He looked up with a kind smile when he saw who had arrived.

"Ah, Koichi. Thank you for bringing Daisuke to us." He said as he set the novel down on a table that was next to him.

"No problem." The son of Ares said.

"Now Daisuke, you know all about what will be going on, correct?" Chiron asked.

"Training, quests, fighting monsters." She said.

"Yes, that would be it. Now, do try to get along with you fellow campers. They haven't fought in any battles like you and the brothers have." Chiron said.

Koichi had a confused look on his face, but he then asked Daisuke all about what he meant as he helped carry her bags to the Hermes cabin and he was soon enthralled by the tales of her adventures of the Digital World.

When they made it to the Hermes cabin, the brunette from last night was there waiting on them with a smile.

"Hey, so you're the new sister." He greeted.

"Uh, yeah. Why, don't you have any sisters at all?" Daisuke asked.

"Nope. The girls in there aren't even Hermes'. Ya see, there are plenty of Gods that don't even claim their kids, so they get bunked in with us. Hermes though, he claims his kids all the time." The brunette said.

"Huh, that was nice of him. Oh, I'm Daisuke Motomiya." She said.

"Takuya Kanbara. I'll take things from here, Koichi." He said as the two new half-siblings smiled at their friend.

"If you say so. Good luck and I can't wait to see you at the camp fire." Koichi said as he waved to them before he walked off.

Takuya was smirking as he saw the way Koichi had been looking intently at Daisuke with the girl not even noticing.

The calm headed and kind hearted son of Ares (that wasn't going to happen in another 1000 years) had finally found his first crush…and she was Takuya's half-sister.

That didn't settle too well with him, but it must have been his brotherly instincts to protect his sister that were surfacing.

After all, he had a younger half-brother named Shinya so he knew what it was like to take care of someone, but this is a girl, a sister he had never met before.

How was he going to handle his sister and best friend's brother dating?

"Dude, you're spacing out." Daisuke said shocking him out of his thoughts.

"Sorry, just thinking of something. Come on, we'll find ya a bed to sleep in. if not, then we can always share." Takuya said.

"Sure, I'm used to sharing beds or bunks with some of my guy friends." She said walking inside.

"What does that mean?!" Takuya yelped as his protective streak grew as he ran in after her.

"I'm on the guys' soccer team and I'm also the captain. Spending time around them and having to share things with them comes with the territory." She said.

"Huh, so you're a soccer star, too?" Takuya asked feeling relieved and also hopeful that he found something they have in common.

From then on, Daisuke met everyone in her cabin and then got right into swords play that she had a natural talent for and matched Takuya, the second best swordsman at the camp, easily and she had fun while doing it.

TK and Matt hardly got to spend time with her, but they still made time to talk during the camp fires and sing alongs in the Apollo theatre.

Koji, Koichi and Takuya had all taken to Daisuke well and would take her with them everyone and she was on their team for capture the flag, which was an all-out battle, all of the time.

The blonde brothers were sad to say they were terrible with swords and could only use their archery skills, but that was more of a hindrance since Daisuke was taught by Koji to take the time they used to knock another arrow to strike them and dispose of their weapons.

Hermes and Ares had gotten strong with Koichi, Koji, Takuya and Daisuke leading them to victory while Apollo and Athena were very annoyed while the other cabins just stayed clear of the four so they didn't get hurt.

Camp soon came to an end and the children who didn't live there for a full year went back home for school and to see their families.

TK, Matt and Daisuke bid their new friends goodbye and then they went off back to Odaiba and met up with their old friends, going on as if nothing changed.

Next year was going to be exciting and they just knew it, but TK and Matt made themselves a vow.

Daisuke wasn't being dragged away from them by Koichi, Koji and Takuya like that ever again.

When they got their first quest, the three Digidestinds were going to be on the three man team to go out and fight, that way they can bond and prove themselves.

When school was back in session, the second TK and Daisuke walked into the yard, Yolei was on them with a stern eye.

"Where have you two been?" she asked.

Kari and Cody just watched from a safe distance.

"I don't see how that's your business." Daisuke retorted as she walked away.

"You've been gone the entire summer. I think we have a right to know." Yolei huffed.

"We were just at a survival camp. Nothing you need to worry about." TK assured.

"Guys, we're going to be late!" Cody called.

The five ran into the school building just as the bell rang.

Across the street, two tall males with golden blonde hair stood.

One had blue eyes with a fair complexion and was dressed in a white dress shirt with black slacks and fancy dress shoes.

Next to him was the male with messy blonde hair with mischievous brown eyes, nicely tanned skin and he was dressed in a green t-shirt, faded jeans and work boots.

"Those kids of ours are something else." Hermes, the brown eyed blonde smirked.

"Let's hope my sons learn to not be so possessive over your daughter when their quest comes. This could cause great troubles." Apollo said.

Hermes just laughed at this as he realised his daughter took after him in the theft department.

The Princess of Thieves had stolen the most valuable and treasured item of two sons of Ares and two sons of Apollo.

Their hearts.

But the question is; who was going to steal hers?

The end.
