Chapter 1
Naruto's body was floating in endless darkness. Suddenly two figures a male and a female approached him and held up his unconscious body in the bridle style. "You have completed your work here. It is time I take you to your second home, My Great-grandson." The male figure said to Naruto. "It is time to give you're Great-grandson and my grandson some gifts that will help him in the other world." "I too will give him something" A voice said from the darkness. They quickly turned and saw another beautiful woman. It was Kami. When she got to naruto's sleeping body she spoke "My gift will make sure he will never be alone death will never take away his loved ones from him again." With that she bent over and kissed naruto full on the lips. Naruto's body glowed pure white and then the glow faded.
The blond had just woken to realize was now in a bed. From the sounds outside the window, it seemed that it was very noisy out there. Slowly waking up, Naruto bolted up and looked around, this place was not his apartment in the village hidden in the leaves, nor was it a hospital room. He also realized that he had shrunken. Looking around he noticed a scroll addressed to him:
Dear Naruto,
We are sorry we won't be there when up wake up. First we are your grandmother and great grandfather. I'm sorry I could not be there for you growing up. There are laws our families have that forces any children of theirs or their descendents to be raised by someone we trust or love. I know it must be strange to you but I hope you understand. I fully intend to have you brought up by your father and mother but that fox sealed in you stopped that. Their deaths hurt us and not being able to take care of you even more. Please believe us we would want nothing more then to raise you but the laws are stopping us.
You are now in another world far from you own. This is the world of you're Great-grandfather and we brought you her after we found you at the valley. Don't worry though, we will meet in time. When the time comes, we both will be happy to see you. Now, since you are still young, you have to go to school in this world and we have enrolled you in Yancy Academy except you will have you're age reduced to 13. In the seal at the bottom of the scroll, you will find all that you need in this world and that includes plenty of money. Also, there are some special jutsu from your father, mother, great grandfather and me that only you can learn since you are of our blood. Though I saw you already know one of them. Oh, just for a reference for the future, get a book on Greek Mythology as well as Shinto you will need that, trust me. Be careful my grandson.
Your grandmother and Great-grandfather.
P.S. Go to you're mindscape you will be having a few surprises for you.
P.S.S. Don't forget you are under the C.R.A. wink, wink.
Naruto sighed as he looked out the window after reading the scroll. He had a lot to do in this new and strange world. Smirking, he created a shadow clone to get to work sorting out the stuff in the scroll while he took a dive into his mindscape.
It has been six months since Naruto arrived in this new land. Learning a new language had been surprisingly easy. Though he did find out that he was dyslexic in this world also but he knew he how to deal with it. He still found it weird to be in a totally new dimension.
That was not all bad, for you see; he had met a girl with the same problem. Her name was Andromeda Jackson Andy for short. She was very pretty with long wavy black hair green eyes and a good sized C-cup chest. The two got along very well. They were both impulsive and that hated being in school. Naruto's reason was because of his experience in the academy back home, while Andy's reason was that weird shit happened to her and that made not a lot of people like her. Now, Naruto being himself did not really give a rat's ass about that. That and the fact that he told Andy about his ninja abilities only strengthened their friendship. Andy wished that she could make Shadow Clones to do her own homework. However in a dark part of her mind had another reason to love shadow clones that would bring a massive nosebleed to anyone who saw it.
Then through that friendship came another. Through Andy, he had meet Grover Underwood. The boy was a cripple because he was always seen with crutches. He was also a bit of a hippy in his opinion because of the fact that he barely ever ate meat and by the way he dressed. Though all in all, Grover was a very nice guy. He usually looked out for Andy and himself the best he could, of course being crippled made him a bit weak.
Now, however, our trio was on a bus to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. They were taking a trip to learn about Greek Mythology, not that Naruto needed it since he knew most of it already. Sitting in his seat, Naruto saw what Andy was wearing for today. With her dark hair, she wore an orange shirt, blue jeans, and some black shoes. Grover, who was sitting right next to Andy, had his usual crutches, a yellow shirt and some oversized pants on that hid his shoes. Naruto was the odd ball of the group. Compared to his old clothes, he wore a pair of black shoes, some jeans, and a red and black shirt on that had a picture of a bluish silver Chinese dragon roaring with a massive spout of fire erupting from his mouth.
He was getting annoyed at the moment because Nancy Bobofit was throwing wads of her peanut butter and jelly at Grover, who was acting like nothing was happening to him for their sake. Sure, if Andy did anything to stop her she would be expelled for something stupid. The girl was already on probation because of the odd shit that happened to her but she couldn't help it. Naruto, however, was not and he could do anything within reason. He smirked in anticipation.
"I am going to kill her." Naruto heard Andy mumble. "It is okay. I like peanut butter." Grover commented as he had to dodge piece of Nancy's lunch.
"That's it!" Andy growled out as she started to get up but Grover kept her down. That is when Andy saw the look in Naruto's eyes and smirked. "You're already on probation." Grover reminded Andy. "You know who'll get blamed if anything happens." Andy smirked and said, "Only if I am the one doing it."
That statement made Grover suddenly look at Naruto and he was about to warn his other friend in the seat next to them, but he never got the chance to because at that moment, Nancy threw another piece of her lunch at Grover. Naruto, who had been fiddling with a paper football, immediately threw the paper projectile at the wad and it caught the piece of sandwich and kept on traveling to the window where it struck through a bit.
"Ms. Boba fett" Naruto started with an annoyed smirk as he made fun of the girl's last name. "Please stop that."
"Why the hell you care Uzumaki! You too cool for those two losers, so why bother helping them?" The red head questioned.
"Because they are better people then you are." Naruto said with a glare that sent chills down the girl's spine. "Now please stop or next time, the paper football will be in you and not the window."
Nancy took another look at window to see part of the paper was outside and paled. She quickly nodded her head. "Good girl." Naruto said making a lot of the students around them laugh, included Andy and Grover.
Mr. Brunner led the museum tour. He rode up front in his wheelchair, leading the group through the big galley, past marble statues, and glass cases full of really old black and orange pottery. Naruto could not help but chuckle at the choice of colors. Naruto looked at Percy and saw the girl was blown away by the fact that this old stuff was in good condition.
Turning their attention to Mr. Brunner, they went quiet, listen to the guy tell them about the ancient gods and other stuff like that. He had gathered them around a thirteen-foot-tall column with a big sphinx on the top, and the man started telling us how it was a grave marker, a stele, for a girl about our age. He told us about the carvings on the sides.
Naruto noticed that Andy was actually paying attention but the idiots around them would not shut up and when Andy told them to be quiet, for some odd reason Ms. Dodds, the annoying substitute math teacher, would give the both of them the evil eye. It was like she expected them to do something bad. That annoyed Naruto even further and he was getting a bad vibe from her. Her chakra was odd too; he would have to keep an eye out for her.
Grover noticed this as well and we both nodded to each other. This was someone they would keep an eye out for because when Andy told them that she thought she was not human, Grover had given her a very serious look like he already knew and agreed with her. Naruto just didn't like her because she was an old bitch!
Anyway, Mr. Brunner just kept on talking about Greek funeral art. When Nancy blabbed about a naked man on the Stele, Naruto saw Andy snapped and practically yelled at her to shut up. "Ms. Jackson." came the voice of Mr. Brunner, "did you have a comment"
"No sir." Andy replied, embarrassed by her outburst, which made Naruto shake his head. Sure, he was going to say the same to the red head but Percy beat him to it.
The wheelchair man then pointed to one of the pictures on the stele, asking Andy what the picture meant.
"That's Kronos eating his kids, right?"
"Yes," Mr. Brunner said, looking not that satisfied. "And can you tell me why?"
Seeing Andy have a hard time answer that question, Naruto decided to help out. "The psycho ate his kid because there was some prophecy telling him that his kids were going to take over one day like he did." Naruto explained, getting a sigh of relief from Percy who then quickly blushed at Naruto when no one was looking. "He the Titan Lord went and got his panties in a twist and ate his kids because of that, but all he really did was set the prophecy in motion and screwed himself over because his wife hid her last born, Zeus and gave the guy a rock to eat. Talk about a real rock head." Naruto joked, which made a lot of people laugh, including Mr. Brunner. "Anyway, when Zeus was all grown up he tricked his dad into barfing up his brothers and sisters and well, the war between Titans and God came to be and the Gods won."
"Eeew!" one of the girls commented on the barfing part.
Behind the two everyone heard Nancy Bobofit mumble, "Like we're going to use this in real life. Like it's going to say on our job applications, 'Please explain why Kronos ate his kids'."
"And why, Ms. Jackson, Mr. Uzumaki." Mr. Brunner said, "to paraphrase Miss Bobofit's excellent question, does this matter in real life?" "Busted." Grover muttered "Shut up!" Nancy barked at Grover, her face going redder then her hair. "I don't know." Percy shrugged, a little relieved that Nancy was picked as well.
Naruto said, "Maybe if we go to Greece we need to know this stuff or decide to work in a museum otherwise I don't see it."
"I see." Mr. Brunner said, a bit disappointed. "Well half credit to you both. Zeus did indeed feed Kronos a mixture of mustard and wine, which made him disgorge his other five children, who of course, being immortal Gods, had been living and growing up completely undigested in the Titan's stomach. The gods defeated their father, sliced him to pieces with his own scythe, and scattered his remains in Tartarus, the darkest part of the Underworld. On that happy note, it's time for lunch. Mrs. Dodds, would you lead us back outside?"
The class drifted off, the girls holding their stomachs, the guys rough housing like normal and acting like morons. Grover, Andy, and Naruto were about to follow when Mr. Brunner said, "Ms. Jackson, Mr. Uzumaki."
They told Grover to keep one going while they handled whatever the teach was going to say to them. "Sir?" Mr. Brunner had this look, like he knew a lot more then he let on and that had seen too much.
"You two must learn the answer to my question." "About the Titans?" Andy asked. "About real life. And how your studies apply to it." "Oh." The two mumbled, though Naruto had the sinking feeling that the man was talking about both things.
"What you two learn from me," he started, "is vitally important. I expect you to treat it as such. I will only accept the best from both of you, Andy Jackson, Naruto Uzumaki." This made both of the teenagers a bit angry at the man, sure he was cool in class when he set up those tournament days, but the man was pushing the two of them a bit hard.
Andy mumbled something about trying harder while Naruto just nodded his head as they left to go eat. Naruto noticed that Mr. Brunner gave a long sad look at the stele. It was odd to say the least. Heh, maybe the guy knew the girl…..not likely.
The class gathered on the front steps of the museum, where they could watch the foot traffic along Fifth Avenue. The two noticed that storm clouds were brewing. "Hey Naruto, what do you think is going on…with the weather and all?"
Naruto gave the girl a 'are-you-serious' look. "You're asking me? I am not the freaking weather man, but odd crap like this has been going on for several months now. You see it all over the news. Strange is because no one else seems to notice the clouds other than us."
With that, the two teenagers joined Grover as the fountain and sat down to eat. It was away from the others so they would not be bothered and the fact that Percy didn't like being part of the school in the first made it seem that were not part of the school for freaks. Of course, Naruto didn't care but he was at first pissed that he had to go to a school like this.
"Detention?' asked Grover."Nah," Andy answered, "Not from Brunner. I just wish he'd lay off me sometimes. I mean…I am not a genius."
After bit, they were quiet. Then Grover asked for Andy's apple and the girl gave it to him. Andy seemed a little lot in thought. "Thinking about your mom?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah, we are kind of close to her place. I hope she is doing alright, I mean she has been living with Gabe after all." Andy said, a little angry about her still with Gabe.
"Dude, I am sure she is alright. She put up with that slob this far, I am sure can do it a little bit more. Still don't see what she sees in that guy though." Naruto commented.
Andy nodded and was about to unwrap her sandwich when Nancy Bobofit and her annoying friends came over and got brave by dumping her lunch on Grover, making Naruto and Andy glare at her.
"Oops." She drawled out while smirking at Andy, as if daring her to do something about. That and Naruto did not have a paper football to help some. Naruto could tell that Andy was pissed and was trying to keep her temper down and was failing miserably. Then something weird happened. The water from the fountain rose up and knocked her on her ass.
That is not what she saw though. "Andy and Naruto pushed me!" Then that old bitch, Miss Dodds came right up to them with a hard glare. Around them they heard whispers of what happened. Apparently, Naruto was not the only one to see the water move.
After the old crone had made sure Nancy was alright, she turned the two and started off with that "Now honey" crap, but Andy beat her to it. "I know." Andy grumbled, "A month of erasing workbooks." Naruto just sighed; this old hag was probably going to give him something worse.
Though, it would seem that was not the right thing for Andy to say. "Both of you come with me!" "Wait!' Grover spoke, "It was me! I pushed her!" They both started at Grover for that. Andy was stunned that Grover was trying to cover for them. Naruto was put off that Grover wanted the punishment for them.
The old crone didn't seem to by it and glared at him so hard that his chin trembled. He was scared of the old crone after all. "I don't think so, Mr. Underwood."
"But-"
"You-will-stay-here!" Miss Dodds forcefully said each word with anger, making Grover shrink a bit. "It is ok man." Andy said to her friend while Naruto nodded.
With that, they left with Andy giving Nancy an evil glare while Naruto slowly took out a paper football, making the girl pale. That only made Naruto smirk. Though, when they looked back to Miss Dodds, she was already at the entrance of the museum. The two looked at each other, thinking how the hell did she get over there so fast? Naruto got a gut feeling that this was not a good thing because there were very few people in this world able to move that fast.
The two walked to the end of the entrance, thinking that the old crone was going to make them buy a shirt to replace Nancy's wet one but that seem to not be the case because they walked right passed the gift shop. "Something is seriously not right here; how far into the museum does she need to take us to bitch at us?" Naruto thought as they walked deeper into the museum. He looked to that Andy had the same thoughts as him.
The small group made it back to the Greek and Roman gallery of the museum to find the place completely empty. They heard her growl as she looked at the marble picture of the Greek Gods. "You two have been making trouble for us." She said suddenly. This made the two look at her oddly. Percy was thinking about the candy she was selling while Naruto was thinking about the way he has been doing his homework and selling some of it to people who did not do theirs for good cash.
"Well?"
"Uh, I am not sure what you are talking about." Naruto replied. "Ma'am, I don't…" Andy started but the old crone didn't let her finish.
"Your time is up!" She hissed ominously. Then the weirdness came. Her eyes began to glow like barbeque coals. Her fingers stretched, into talons. Her jacket melted into large, leathery wings. She was not human that was for sure. She was pretty much an old bitch with bat wings and craws and a mouth full of yellow fangs and it seemed that she was the boys as her next meal.
"Please tell me you see that too." Naruto whispered to Andy who fearfully nodded. "Good, then I am not going insane." That is when things got even weirder, because Mr. Brunner, who had been reading a book at the entrance, was at the entrance of the gallery with a pen and some wrist warmers in his hands.
"What ho you two!" The man yelled to them as he threw the items at them.
That was when the old crone lunged at Andy. Naruto, thinking fast, made a seal appear on his pants and kunai holster appeared. He then took out two of the knives and threw them at whatever Miss Dodds had turned into. "Get away from my friend you psycho hag!" while he old had dodged that; he then saw Andy catch the pen, but the odd thing was that it had turned to a goldish sword. Naruto then caught the wrist warmers in both hands in time to flip out of the way of Miss Dodds' claws.
Andy's eyes widened when he saw her friend's new weapons. In Naruto's hands was a double sided naginata with one side having a standard naginata blade with wooden swirl on its side of the handle. The other side's blade had been separated into two tips about halfway down the blade.
(For those who have seen Inuyasha you should be able to place this weapon).
Naruto rolled over to where Andy was and looked at Miss Dodds. She was getting up from her strike at Naruto and she looked pretty intimidating. Andy looked shaken by this. Then, she charged at the two and they only they thought of were to stab and slash her and they did. Just as their blades met, the old crone burst in a shower of yellow powder. It was like she vaporized on the spot with nothing but the smell of sulfur and a dying screech that sent chills up their spines. There was an evil chill in the air, like those creepy eyes were watching their every move.
The boys were now alone in the gallery once more. They looked back to their weapons and were shocked to find something different in their possession. Andy had and gold ballpoint pen where Naruto had two black wrist band.
"Ok…." Naruto said out loud, "I think we should get back to the others….something odd is defiantly going on here."
"Right." Andy agreed when she saw that Mr. Brunner was not in the room they were in.
Back outside, it had started raining. Grover was using his museum map as a tent to keep himself from getting too wet, while Nancy was still wet from earlier. She looked to them and smirked. "I hope Mrs. Kerr whipped your butts!"
"Who?" Andy let out.
"Our teacher, duh!"
The two blinked, asking who that was but all she did was walk away. They asked Grover where the old crone was, but he just gave them an odd look and asked, "Who?" But he did pause first before saying it, like he knew something was going on.
"Not funny man." Andy said, "This is serious." He didn't answer as thunder boomed overhead.
Shaking his head, Naruto lead Andy over to Mr. Brunner, who was under a red umbrella reading his book, like he never moved. He looked up distracted and asked, "Ah. My pen, please bring your own writing utensil in the future, Ms. Jackson." He said as the girl handed the item to him.
"Sir," Andy started, "where is Miss Dodds?"
"Who?" He said with a blank face.
"You know, the other chaperone, the math teacher." Naruto explained.
"There is no Miss Dodds on this trip, nor is there one in the school. Are you two feeling alright?" He asked concerned.
The two just sighed and left, making their way back to Grover. On the way back, Naruto muttered out, "I think we just entered the Twilight Zone."
