'Demon or God Thinking'

Gaara glared at the ceiling of the Hermes cabin as a foot kicked him in the face. He was resisting the urge to kill everyone who had touched him in the last hour, which was everyone on the entire floor of the cabin, whether he had a weapon to do it or not. Finally, as he was almost about to finally calm down, someone rolled on top of him and then hit him in the face before rolling off again. Gaara got up carefully, went out the door silently, and stalked off to the woods. The following morning, a few trees with bloody fist shaped holes in them were found mysteriously on the ground. Also, Gaara had been found in the woods sitting on a branch high up on one of the trees bandaging his hands, no one questioned him but instead edged away until Chiron came and called him down.

"Gaara! Come down, please!" Chiron yelled as Gaara tied the bandages tightly.

Gaara glanced downward, gave a small sigh and proceeded to climb down. When he got within 10 feet of the ground he threw his binder on the ground and he jumped off and rolled onto the ground, springing upwards. He stood face to face with Chiron, alone for a little until Kankuro and Temari ran past them, armor and all with each a standard bronze sword in their hands, both with their helmets painted blue. Gaara raised an eyebrow at them and Temari glanced at Gaara, he was wearing black shorts that went to the knees and a blue muscle shirt with a dragon on it, he was barefoot and his hair was wilder than usual. Her eyes widened ever so slightly when she saw his hands but otherwise she showed no other concern and kept running.

"We've got a few weeks left of the camp before school but some people like Percy had the option to leave early and it's Friday so it's capture the flag," Chiron stated loudly as he motioned to a red team camper fought a blue team camper a little ways ahead of the two.

They were both distracted, they looked at Gaara nervously and when he looked at them in a bored way they both ran off to fight somewhere else. Gaara just smirked a little and then sighed.

Chiron patted him on the back and said, "I've got to referee the game, and you'll be fine so I'll leave you here before we can clear things up."

Gaara nodded and Chiron galloped off. Gaara grabbed his binder and was about the walk off when he heard a whooshing sound coming toward him, he dropped his binder instantly. He turned around and saw a blonde red team with a dagger in her hand coming toward him at an alarming rate, for someone who hadn't been a ninja because she seemed quite slow in Gaara's eyes. She swung but he just side stepped and pushed her lightly on her back and she stumbled forward. She recovered quickly and then swung around, her dagger aimed to slash at his belly. He grabbed her hand, then the weapon with the same hand, and then kicked her in the side, so she went skidding off and he had the dagger.

He flipped it around expertly in his hand before leaning on his left foot and stopped twirling it before growling, "Look, I don't know who you are, or why you attacked me, but get lost before you get hurt. Next time you try to attack, I won't be so friendly with my actions; cause disarming isn't all I've got."

He threw the dagger into the ground between the red team kids' feet so fast she hardly had time to think about what just happened. Gaara turned and grabbed his binder as he started to leave but an dagger sped past his head and made a thunking sound as it slimed into a tree and stayed there. Gaara clenched his fists, which in turn made him clench the binder, which in turn transformed the binder, into a double edged, black, 3 3/4 foot long sword with a black leather wrapped grip with the pommel having a turquoise clear colored gem on it. He turned around and the girl shuffled slightly backward but then steadied her ground and then stood up, her hands in the air and her weapon on the ground.

Gaara turned his head slightly to the right and asked, "What are you doing? Do you people normally surrender and expect to live?"

The girl's mouth popped open ever so slightly at the two questions, even she was confused, but it was a serious question to Gaara, there was never a time in Suna that he could remember where a person had surrendered and lived at the same time. A horn had sounded earlier, a horn that the game had ended, so Chiron went to find Gaara, who had a sword in his hand and the sword was pointed at… Annabeth, who did indeed have her with her hands up in surrender.

Chiron galloped up to Gaara and then Gaara explained to Chiron what happened and then Chiron explained to Gaara what Annabeth thought and Gaara handed his sword over to Chiron for examination. Gaara walked to Annabeth, who had picked up her dagger and taken off her helmet.

"Sorry, "Annabeth said, "I thought you were a blue since some of them don't wear armor but instead wear blue clothing. Question, what is your name, godly parent, and time at Camp Half Blood?"

"Nice to meet you, my name is Gaara Sabakuno, I don't know who my godly parent is and, "Gaara paused and a small smirk appeared on his face, "I've been at the Camp about a day."

Annabeth's eye twitched in disbelief and Gaara walked back to Chiron, who pulled Gaara onto his back, who was draped over Chiron's back like a coat and Chiron ran off the Pavilion where it was time to eat dinner. Annabeth walked to the Pavilion with Percy after she put her armor away and found Gaara sitting at Dionysus's table with Chiron, which made her hope a lot that Gaara wasn't a child of Dionysus, even though he couldn't have been because he seemed to have no genetic relation to the camp director.

"Quiet!" Chiron yelled, everyone went quiet, "We have three new campers, Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara Sabakuno! Welcome them with open arms!" Everyone yelled in agreement and the Hermes cabin nearest Kankuro hugged him, and the nearest Ares cabin near Temari punched her in the arm playfully, where then she punched them in the arm back playfully. Dionysus just congratulated him lazily and his sons did the same, but with more enthusiasm. Before eating, they got up and scraped a little food into the fire for offering to the gods. Gaara scrapped his biscuit in since he didn't care much for biscuits and whispered quietly to know who his dad was so he could punch him before sitting back down.

Gaara was neither laughing nor sulking, he was just eating at such a rapid pace that the nymphs had trouble keeping up with Gaara. Eventually, after the nymphs were more than tired, he stopped eating and started talking to Chiron about the camp and who Gaara was, it went a little like this (be advised, this is the very short version of the verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry long conversation they had).

"Just to clarify, my name is Gaara Sabakuno; I come from a country called the Elemental Nations, a place where everyone has a certain power that almost everyone can control with enough work. Chakra, the power I… had. See, what I used to kill that hellhound back when I entered the camp, I had used chakra to control sand, a power unique to me in the Elemental Nations. But when I left, I encountered a man who seems to have taken away my chakra, but I can't remember the details of what I did until Chiron found me earlier this morning. My siblings, they come from the same world as I have, but they don't remember anything about it, amnesia they say. The last thing I remember before coming here is fighting some guy, then getting knocked out but my siblings were still awake but they can't tell me what happened next because they have amnesia." That was a short summary of what Gaara said before the others started asking him questions, which them if I wrote all of it would take a whole 150 pages of dialogue which I do not feel up to (when it is late and I am tired and I have school the next morning)! There were a whole lot of questions and disbelief from Dionysus, in which he was all like, 'Why would I believe you? You have no proof!', as to which Gaara countered, 'If there are Greek gods in the world which hardly anyone believes in, why can't there be another world where Greek gods don't exist at all?'. Though eventually Dionysus stopped asking questions and did believe Gaara, but there was still an uncertainty and wavering judgement in the gods' choice. Thankfully, it didn't take much to convince Chiron that Gaara wasn't from this world so the conversation only lasted until the next morning (the conversation started at 7:30 AM, and ended and 7:30 PM). Chiron gave Gaara his schedule, which was all with the Hermes cabin as he was staying there for the time being, and Chiron gave Gaara his new sword back along with a black metal/leather sheath that slung across his back. Before putting the sword in the sheath, Gaara swung it back and forth a little to get the feel of swinging a sword since had never done so before, when he did finally put it in the sheath, he had just arrived and the Nymph racing track thingy.

Gaara crouched, leaning forward, his hands on the ground behind him, tensed as his eyes flickered toward the nymph, who grinned at him as the Hermes cabin and other nymphs cheered on the fastest nymph. It wasn't a big concern of Gaara's, but when he got competitive, he got reallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy competitive, like almost out of control competitive. So when the nymph shouted go, he ran as he cracked his neck at 45 miles per hour, leaving the nymph in the dust by 15 miles per hour. When he crossed the finish line, the Hermes cabin and the other nymphs cheered for Gaara in disbelief because no one had been able to beat that nymph since Naruto came a year before, but only Naruto achieved 40 miles per hour. Gaara skidded across the finish line so fast that he almost ran into a tree before stopping himself.

Then he went to archery, which he was a slightly a little more than decent from aiming the sand when he Gaara shot it really fast for practice on fast moving inanimate targets (thrown rocks, by a ninja ). Then, he went cannoning, which he was really terrible at, every time he managed to get on the canoe, it fell over as fast it could. Then he went to rock climbing, which wasn't that hard, seeing as he got to the top for the first time with a pretty fast time considering the Hermes cabin dared him to do it with his left hand (not dominant hand) only, and then he did it with his pinky, which was extremely insane, but with all of the taijutsu training he had done over the past year, this was nothing. Then he finally went to sword training, led by Perseus Jackson himself, the best swordsman in the camp since a dude named Luke.

"Alright guys," Percy yelled as the Hermes cabin entered the training arena, "today is a just a one on one battle, so everyone line up in order of seniority!" The Hermes cabin did so, so Gaara was last, with no partner as the Hermes cabin now had an uneven number. "Alright, Gaara. I'll be your partner."

Gaara nodded and Percy took out a pen, Gaara raised a non-existent eyebrow before Percy took off the cap of the pen and it turned into a sword.

"This is Riptide, a gift from my father, Posidean," Percy stated proudly with a smirk on his face, "Where's your sword?"

Gaara sighed and reached behind his back over his right shoulder, grabbed the hilt of the sword with his right hand, and then smoothly and swiftly pulled it out of its sheath and Percy's eyes widened at the look of it and his eyes seemed to ask Gaara, 'Where did you get that?!'. Percy got over his initial surprise and taught Gaara the basics and some of the more advanced moves and then they battled for real. Percy and Gaara slashed and wacked at each other for about 50 minutes before Percy charged at Gaara and caught Gaara in the shoulder, where then Gaara touched the blade to the ground, which then seemed to make Gaara a little more aware, stronger, and less exhausted so then as fast as he could he slashed upwards. Percy didn't have time to dodge it so it wacked Percy in his sword hand with the flat of the blade with such force that Percy's iron grip on Riptide was lost and it flew in the air, Gaara twisted his blade around up to his face, turned sideways at Percy, gripped the sword with two hands, and had the blade pointed at Percy's neck. They heard a girlish high pitched scream which came from the big house area but ignored it (which they learned later that it was Dionysus scream when Riptide had impaled itself in the camp director's cards while he and Chiron and a nymph were playing Pinochle, in which when Percy heard, he started rolling on the ground laughing). Both males were drenched in sweat, Percy just slightly more than Gaara since Percy might've been the better swordsman, but that couldn't beat the pure strength of the result of Gaara's training and the determination and Gaara's endurance of exhaustion.

The arena went silent, everyone stopped their fighting and stared at the scene before them, those who had been at the camp since Percy had been had seen Percy defeat Luke once before, and this was very similar to back then, the newbie defeating the master. Gaara lowered the sword and almost dropped it as Percy put his hands up in surrender.

"Nice going, Gaara!" Percy said as he grinned at him. Gaara nodded and with one swift movement he put the sword back in its sheath and then the two went to the benches and promptly collapsed on them. Gaara leaned back on the back of the bench and was about to take a drink from the drink cooler when Percy produced two cans of coca cola. Percy put his finger to his lips to tell Gaara to not say anything about it and then handed a can to Gaara. The two opened the cans as fast as they could and drained the can within 5 seconds, well Gaara did, but Percy took his time.

In between canoeing and rock climbing, they had lunch but it didn't feel like it had existed since it went so fast. Anyway, after the sword fight, he did some other activities before the Hermes cabin went back the cabins and wondered around. Gaara walked with them before he finally went to the big house with Percy and then found out about the scream and when Percy had stopped laughing, Gaara asked him which cabin Naruto was in. Percy smiled and pointed towards a cabin that shone insanely bright in the light. Apollo's cabin he had said, Naruto was almost exactly like his father, except for the poem thing.

When Gaara got to the door of the cabin, the light of the Apollo's cabin was murder on Gaara's eyes so that Gaara had the insane urge to destroy the god's cabin. Instead, Gaara didn't and just covered his eyes with his arm as he knocked on the door. It opened and the light lessened a little so Gaara lowered his arm a little and he squinted to avoid as much light as possible getting into his eyes. There in the doorway was a familiar annoying blonde with bedhead hair, wearing an orange tank top and bright blue shorts, who looked at Gaara bleary eyed like he had just woken up. Naruto waved lazily and stepped out, closing the door behind him, which then made Gaara close his eyes and cover them with his arm again so Naruto grabbed Gaara's arm and pulled him to a bench near the big house where the Apollo's cabin was far away so that Gaara could put his arm down.

"Yo, how've you been Gaara?" Naruto asked as he started to come back to the world of the living, Gaara just sighed and just glared at Naruto, "Sorry, I mean, my grandma Athena came to get from the Elemental Nations after the Sasuke mission since she decided it was time I had come to my real home apparently.

"You're grandma is Athena? Wait, your father is the yondaime hokage right? I thought that gods were only really known to the person they have a kid with, and don't stay a long time with them. Even so, how did Apollo get to the Elemental Nations?" Gaara asked, looking confused at Naruto.

"First off, yes my mom was a daughter of Athena, next, yes my dad is the yondaime hokage," at that Naruto's eyes glittered in admiration, "Next, Apollo was punished for being an idiot and then was turned into a half human for a little with no memory as a child so then he was sent to the Elemental Nations where he met my mom and then when he died he came back and remembered everything. Also my mom is in the underworld as a servant of Hades, but he treats her well. I think that answers all your questions," Naruto said smiling at Gaara, who was processing the new information. Gaara sighed softly and then hit Naruto on the back of the head. Naruto fell off the bench and rolled around on the floor.

"WHY?! WHY GAARA?!" He whined loudly.

"Cause you're an obsolete idiot Naruto, I understand that you were taken against your will but that doesn't exactly make me happy," Gaara said glaring at Naruto. Naruto just smiled sheepishly as the horn for dinner started. Gaara rolled his eyes, got up, held out a hand to help Naruto up, and then the two walked to the Pavilion together where Naruto sat at the Apollo's table after telling Gaara that they would discuss how Gaara got to this world later. Gaara nodded and sat back at Dionysus table for the last time after scrapping his biscuit off and uttering the same annoyed whisper again.
