So here I am back with another chapter, wow I did expect how well this fic would be received. Anyways i think with the Naruto, Annabeth is going to have to be more assertive with him than she was Percy. So I think it will be funny writing her as the dominant one in the relationship. And one more thing I'm writing this assuming you know the background of the characters, so don't complain if don't know something.
Got another song for you, I think FOREVER ACOUSTIC by IN THIS MOMENT. Fits Annabeth perfectly this chapter, since she's chasing after our favorite knucklehead.
Annabeth ran up to Naruto and caught him by the elbow, she brushed a few strands of hair behind her ear as she smiled at him coquettishly, which as you might guess went unnoticed by Naruto "Wait a minute Naruto, you need to sacrifice a portion of your food to the Gods" Annabeth said pointing to the braizure, she could hear Clarisse in the distance laughing at her trying to subtly flirt with her own brother and fail.
'oh how the mighty have fallen' Annabeth thought deprecatingly to herself.
"Ha, yea right. I'm a growing boy, I need the food way more than they do" Naruto told her grinning and causing Sasuke to bark out a laugh.
"Oh gods, you're an idiot" she said smiling. As he turned to follow Sasuke to Artemis' table, she skillfully took her spoon and scooped up a bit of rice from his plate and threw it into the braizure. And prayed to the gods' to take it easy on him, and all without him noticing.
"Hey, did you eat some of my rice" Naruto asked her pouting, as the two sat across from Sasuke at the Artemis table, causing a lot of the other demigods to stare at them.
Her eyes widened in surprise, okay maybe he had noticed. "Maybe" she said smiling.
"You're gonna make me gag" Sasuke deadpanned, causing Annabeth to glare at him. Annabeth looked to Naruto for any changes, and was almost disappointed to notice that he hadn't caught onto what Sasuke was referring to.
While Annabeth was distracted with thoughts of the blonde haired idiot. Jason, Leo, and Piper came up to the table and sat down. "Hey guys, we overheard Chiron talking to Mr. D about a game of capture the flag this coming friday" Leo said excitedly.
"Capture the flag, what's that" Naruto asked, to which everyone ignored so he looked to Annabeth for the answer, she seemed to know everything. She knew what they were talking about, but the normally composed and in-control daughter of Athena was unusually distracted, and didn't take part in the conversation.
With her head resting in her hand she watched Piper explain to Naruto what capture the flag was. Without thinking and that should tell you how unusual she is acting, she scooted closer to Naruto, and started to rub the tip of her shoe up and down Naruto's shin. Annabeth was pretty confident in her abilities in charming the opposite sex, but she couldn't help wonder how Naruto would react.
Jumping in surprise Naruto looked under the table, and then back up. Leaning towards Annabeth "What are you doing?" he whispered. After a week at the camp, Naruto still hadn't figured out that Annabeth wasn't acting like a sister towards him, but more like someone who was romantically interested in him.
Annabeth knew he wasn't going to understand the way the Greek worked, but still it was needless to say Annabeth was getting frustrated. It was highly illogical for her to be acting this way, after all he had only been here a week "What's it look like" she said, starting to scowl at him.
"It looks like you're flirting with me!" He whispered again, unknown to him the whole table could hear him and knew exactly what was going on, Jason and Piper looked uncomfortable while a snickering Leo elbowed a smirking Sasuke.
She smiled at him "Took you long enough to figure it out. You know for a son of Athena, your pretty stupid" She said, causing table to erupt with laughter at Naruto's expense, as she got up leaving Naruto Confused.
"What the fuck was that?!" Naruto shouted.
"Hey would you keep it down, people are staring at us" Jason said, to which he was ignored.
"You idiot, she's been sending you signals all week" Sasuke said in a bored tone.
"Signals?" Naruto asked confused.
"What he means is, Annabeth has been subtly flirting with you and giving you hints" Piper explained.
"Hints, you've been too stupid to pick up on" Sasuke deadpanned.
"I can always count on you to clear things up for me, asshole" Naruto said pouting "But that doesn't make sense, she's my sister"
"Oh gods, we're gonna have to give him a lesson on the Greek" Leo said, moaning.
…
'That jerk' Annabeth thought to herself, Naruto had been avoiding her ever since he found out that she liked him. Which was impressive since their beds were only four feet apart in the cabin they shared. She headed down to the sound in search of Naruto, where she found him, Sasuke, Leo, and Jason watching a few sea nymphs swimming away unfortunately.
"Whoa, did you guys see the rack on that blue girl" Naruto said making Jason uncomfortable while Leo snickered, and Sasuke was as emotionless as ever. But at hearing that Annabeth wasted no time in marching straight up to Naruto, stomping on his foot and dragging him away by the ear.
"Ow ow ow, hey I use that ear to listen with dammit!" Naruto shouted, some friends he had they just stood there and laughed. After leaving the sound, Annabeth finally decided to let go of his ear and instead clamp her hand around his bicep in an iron like grip.
They stopped in the front of the armory "You've been avoiding me, you jerk" she said scowling fiercely, her pride wouldn't let her admit it to him but it kind of hurt for him to avoid her even if they've only known each other for about a few weeks, she felt like she was going insane obsessing over this idiot boy. She wasn't acting logically around him, it made her angry at times.
"How else am I supposed to deal with my own sister being in love with me" Naruto said exasperated.
Annabeth blushed at that "Well for one, you could stop being so childish about it. It's not a big deal, we are greek after all" She told him.
"What are we doing at the armory anyways" Naruto asked trying to change the subject.
"We need to find you weapon, the game of capture the flag is tomorrow but more importantly you need to be able to defend yourself" Annabeth told him.
"All need is my fists, and these" Naruto said grinning as took his pouch off and opened it up, showing her what was inside. Kunai, shuriken, wire, and paper with kanji written on it.
"I should've known by your headband that you're some kind of ninja" she took out one of the papers "What is this" she asked.
Panicking Naruto snatched it from her "Hey, be careful with that! It's an exploding tag" Naruto said.
Annabeth looked at him skeptically "Really, exploding paper?" She asked.
….
"So you must really be worried about Percy, huh?" Naruto asked her. They were in their cabin sitting across from each other on their beds. Their knees touching against the other's, Naruto of course forgot about her attraction towards him. Annabeth had thought it a good idea to get know each other, so she had told him everything from her rocky relationship with her father and running away, and meeting Thalia and Luke, all the way to percy going missing.
"Yeah, well I spilled my guts to you. It's only fair you do the same" Annabeth told him, she seemed to be acting rather normal today.
He considered omitting a few details, but couldn't figure out what the point would be. It's not like he was in the elemental nations anymore, and aside from that he felt compelled to tell Annabeth of his life and so he laid it out for her, and she listened with rapt attention. "I'm from a village called Konohagakure in Hi no Kuni, a land far away from here" He told her.
"The Village Hidden in Leaves, in the Land of Fire?" Annabeth asked, receiving a surprised look from Naruto "What? I'm a daughter of Athena, I'd be a disgrace if didn't know multiple languages" Annabeth watched as his face twist in confusion at the mention of multiple languages, she could help laugh at him and wonder how it was that he was a son of Athena.
Naruto continued "I grew up orphaned and alone, on the day that I was born, a demon called the Kyuubi No Kitsune attacked my village. It was as tall as the sky, capable of decimating mountains and whipping up a hurricane with a single flick of one of his nine tails"
As he explain his life to her, she payed close attention to his body language, and Annabeth could tell he didn't like talking about his past, "The nine-tails was unkillable and would have destroyed the village and everyone in it, had the fourth hokage (who by the way Athena told me was my father) not sealed the the nine-tails inside me, there would have been unimaginable casualties"
A couple minutes later
"He did what?" Annabeth asked, Naruto hadn't noticed the way she was reacting but she was furious.
"Yea" he said lifting up his shirt, showing her a fist sized scar on the right side of his chest "Sasuke shoved a chidori right through here, hey where you going?" Naruto asked, as she got up and walked out of the cabin.
…..
An amused Sasuke watched as a furious Annabeth stormed towards him at the archery range with her knife drawn, she didn't say anything. He saw Naruto trying to catch up to her, the closer she got to him, the more Naruto panicked, realizing her intent, "How could you try to murder your own best friend?" Annabeth said incredulously as she stomped towards him with the intent to drive her dagger through him, once again this irrational side taking over.
"Whoa whoa whoa, take it easy" Naruto said as he wrapped his arms around Annabeth's stomach and lifted her off the ground.
Sasuke looked at Naruto dumbfounded "You told her?"
"We were swapping life stories" Naruto said pouting.
"Oh my god, some shinobi you are" Sasuke said in exasperation "Listen Annabeth, I've done a lot of things I regret on the path of revenge, now that my mother explained some events to me when I got first got here. But Naruto and me have made peace, so don't worry about our past." he said somewhat coldly, but that's Sasuke for you.
A mischievous grin spread across Naruto's "Aw, he does have a heart" Naruto said still holding Annabeth who at this point didn't care about Sasuke anymore, she just kept the act up so Naruto wouldn't let go of her.
"Shut up you idiot, there's nothing but a black hole in my chest" Sasuke said smirking, making Naruto laugh.
"Hey you shouldn't hold her like that in public Naruto, it's unsightly" Sasuke said still smirking.
"Wuaa!" Naruto said dropping her, causing her to glare fiercely at Sasuke. Annabeth's feelings for Naruto were starting to get out of hand.
….
"Who the hell do they think they are, going on a quest without us" Naruto said pouting.
"You know, not everything is about us idiot" Sasuke said smirking.
Naruto turned sharply to Sasuke "Let's go after them"
"Are you crazy, there's no way. We don't know our way out there" Sasuke said exasperated.
"I'm know someone who will help us" he said smiling "Annabeth"
"Are you wanted to use your sister's crush on you" Sasuke asked surprised.
"No, of course not!" Naruto said incredulously.
"Yes you are!" Sasuke said smirking evilly.
"Shut the hell up" Naruto said, as they walked towards Naruto's cabin.
"Annabeth" He called out in sickly sweet voice as they walked through the door.
"Uh-oh" Annabeth said, she may be love with him, but even she knew when he was up to something.
He put his hands behind his head trying to look casual "We're going after those three"
"What? No! That's not happening" Annabeth shouted.
"You can't stop him, he's already got his mind set on this" Sasuke said in a gloomy fashion.
"One way or another we're going Annabeth, I feel like they need our help" He said smiling as he looked her in the eyes, and rested hand on her shoulder.
"You're just bored, aren't you" Annabeth said, giving him a knowing look.
"YES!" Naruto said exasperated. "Anyways, if you don't come with us will just get lost"
"Well, since there's really no way for me to stop you, I guess I'll help" Annabeth said causing an excited Naruto to pick her up in a bone crushing hug.
