Chapter 1: Meeting
After a gruesome flight for Percy to Greece, he was relieved when he touched down at the Eleftherios Venizelos Airport. Percy was shaking in fear for the last nine hours of the flight with Annabeth right beside him. "Hey, we're here already so relax," she said, squeezing Percy's hand.
"Ugh, I hope we don't have to do this again in the near future. Man that offering worked after all." said Percy while perspiring profusely. Before the trip, Percy made an offering to Zeus for a safe flight to Athens and back. Rachel walked up next to Percy, blowing her bubblegum. "Suck it up Percy, you will soon have to do this sometime again soon, right Clarisse?"
Clarisse grumbled to herself out of frustration. "Can't believe my mother enrolled me into this school with this idiot .You're with me, right Jake?"
The boy she turned to looked like he was getting sick. "Bumpy ride, bad aerodynamic design."
As she looked out the window, Annabeth could barely contain her glee. "Well we're finally here in Athens!"
"Geez, calm down Annabeth" said Will as he placed away his MP3. It did not register into Annabeth head as she was looking at the architecture of the airport. Goode High School was having a field trip to Athens. "Okay students, follow me," said Mr. Blowfis as he and Mrs. White led the students to the arrival hall. A man about his mid twenties in a long blue and white striped shirt with black working pants holding up a plaque with the words "Goode High School" on it.
"Okay class that's our tour guide" said Mr. Blowfis, as they approached the man with the sign.
"Goode High School?" asked the tour guide.
"That would be us" said Mrs. White.
"At the entrance, one other tour guide will be there to greet you would you and your class go to her" said the tour guide.
"You're not coming?" asked Mrs. White, concern lacing her voice.
"Yes I am, I'm just waiting for another group to arrive. They will be joining us for this trip. I hope you don't mind." said the tour guide.
"Not at all, where are they from?" asked Mr. Blowfis.
"They are from Japan" said the tour guide.
"Oh this will be interesting" said Mr. Blowfis as he led the students to the entrance. Most of the students were busy chatting about the Japanese students "Looks like Japanese students are joining us" said Annabeth. "I wonder if they know how to put up a fight?" wondered Clarisse as she held one of her fist. "They always have the nice gizmos" said Jake. "Rachel you can speak Japanese can't you?" asked Percy. "I can speak a little" said Rachel Another tour guide but this time a woman was there to greet them. "Goode High School?" asked the woman. "Yes that would be us". "I will lead you to your bus" said tour guide. The students soon loaded their luggage in the baggage compartment of the bus and boarded the bus. "Student's please occupy the left side of the bus" said Mrs. White. Percy sat next to Annabeth in the back row while Clarisse and Rachel sat in front of them. "I have a feeling this is going to be an interesting trip" said Annabeth.
In the airport coming into the arrival hall, a group of Japanese students came through. "What a flight" said Ichigo as he stretched his arms.
"It's been a while since I went on a long flight" said Chad, walking with his friends.
"It wasn't that bad" chirped Orihime
"You really complain a lot Ichigo" groaned Uryu.
"You got a problem four eyes?" Ichigo shot back.
"Cut it out you two!" shouted Rukia as she pushed the two of them apart and walked past them.
"By the way how you manage to get a passport and visa easily?" asked Ichigo.
A sigh was Rukia's reply "Urahara helped me with that."
"As usual, that man always comes up with a solution fast" said Ichigo.
The two chaperone teachers, Ms Misato and their other teacher Kagine turn around and faced the students. "Alright class, now remember, don't stray too far from the tour group" she said, "and also, we are joining the tour with students from America; Iexpect you to be on your best behavior in front of them. If you try any funny things during the trip, I will make sure your life will be a living hell for your whole school life!"
Kagine then eyed Ichigo and his group, the evil intent behind them making his words very clear before he uttered them. "That goes double for you Mr. Kurosaki!"
"Why is it always me?" asked Ichigo exasperatedly.
"Because you are always there when trouble is present" said Tatsuki coldly as she brushed past him. Ichigo could only scowl at that comment, and she paid no attention to his expression. It wasn't long until the group reached the tour guide. "Karakura High School I presume?"
"Yes that will be us," answered Ms Misato in her best English accent.
A polite grin was on the tour guide's face. "Welcome to Athens, if you would please follow me, I will take you to the bus" The group followed the tour guide to the bus, loading their luggage into it before stepping in to take their seats. The second they entered the bus, the American students were busy chatting amongst themselves when they noticed the Japanese students. When Ichigo's group boarded the bus, their eyes widened at the presence they felt before calmly taking their seats at the front.
The male tour guide went to the front of the middle lane. "Good afternoon, and welcome to Athens. I am Mr. Harris and the woman over here is my assistant Ms Malia" he said, while pointing out the woman he mentioned, "Thank you for choosing our travel agency, I am sure you will have a fun and enjoyable fun while you're in Athens. For now, please rest up as we head to our first destination, which is the Ancient Agora where we can see several of monuments."
At the back, Percy and his group were discussing the new arrivals. "Percy, what is this feeling I am having about the Japanese students?" asked Annabeth.
A look to the students at the front of the bus was Percy's response. "What, you mean the group with that guy with orange hair?" he asked, "I'm pretty sure I feel them too."
"Yeah, I am getting those vibes that they're definitely not normal people." answered Will.
"Are they monsters?" asked Rachel, concern lacing her voice, "No they don't have that murderous aura about them but it's more like they're just super-strong" said Clarisse.
"I'm not sure who these guys, are but let's keep our guards up anyway." said Jake.
Percy sighed and looked out the window. The rest of the group agreed with the suggestion. "This is going to be one heck of a trip" said Percy as he looked out the window.
Meanwhile in the back, Ichigo's group was also talking about the students at the back, Percy's group in particular. "Rukia can you feel that?" asked Ichigo.
"Yeah something about the American students sitting in back is giving me some strange feeling" said Rukia, appraising the students with her eyes.
"So you feel it too?" mused Uryu.
"Can any of you tell what it is?" asked Ichigo, glancing back at them. "They looked like normal humans but they also feel like they are something more" said Chad.
"You think they're humans with special abilities?" said Ichigo.
"That might be something but five of them grouping together seems too odd to be a conincidence" replied Uryu.
This was getting ridiculous! And the annoyed sight Rukia let out made her thoughts clear on the matter. "Well no point trying to check them out without making any contact with them is tere? So let's just keep our guards up."
"I think that's better than guessing what they are" mumbled Ichigo. He looked out the window as the bus left the airport. "I think this is going to be an interesting trip"
[A/N]: Sorry for the short chapter for this is just the introductory chapter of what's the group about to face in the entire story. So stay tuned in the next chapter where our heroes encounter in the ancient marketplace
