Lucky number seven
By the way. Anyone object to an omake for the reading, not on the nonreading story?
Let be know with a review and suggestions would be enjoyable.
enjoy
Zeus looked at the book and began his reading even as his brothers kept making his eyebrow twitch with the whole sparky name. 'I will remain calm and will not make sparks. I will remain calm and will not make sparks...'
Artemis looked at the blonde haired boy as he ate one of Hestia's cookies, her own still in her hands. Hestia was lying on her side on the sand on the other side of Naruto, head held up with one arm. The other was playing with Naruto's hair. Here was no one on the beach as Hestia had used her power to make sure that the trio would be left alone. Naruto seemed to be happy to be spending time with the goddess, even if he didn't know he was in the presence of the goddess of the hearth and the goddess of the hunt.
"Woah woah woah. Time out. How can he not know?" Leo asked as he pointed at the two goddesses in question. "How does he not know and why didn't you tell him?"
Artemis blinked. "Perhaps I didn't want him to know. Sometimes I enjoy being an average person rather then a goddess and it gives me a chance to connect with those under my domain."
"But how does... Oh yeah." Percy sheepishly rubbed his head. "Your the goddess of virgins and he's a virgin."
Annebeth took a bite out of her sandwich so she could avoid looking at her boyfriend. The other demigods were also looking at the goddess in confusion. Thalia opened her mouth and Artemis groaned. "Yes I do prefer girls then the boys- DON'T YOU DARE MAKE A JOKE APHRODITE, APOLLO!- but I do look after young males before they get infected with their second brain."
Apollo smirked at his sis.
Hestia spoke up next. "Most of the time at the camp demigods forge goddess and assume I'm a regular camper. Perhaps that is the reason why."
Looking him over, Artemis noticed that the boy was too girly looking. If it wasn't for Hestia telling her about Naruto, she would have tried to recruit him.
"... True."
'Well I still could,' She mused as she looked him over. 'He would have to agree to become a girl, but he is so cute as a boy. Those big blue/sapphire eyes so innocent to the would and the aura that he has... Gah, if Aphrodite heard my thoughts she wouldn't let me hear the end of it. But his whiskers are soo cute... I want to touch them.'
Artemis shivered at the cat-that-got-the-canary look the love goddess ha plastered on her face. The rest of her fellow goddesses all had smiles or smirks sent to her. Huffing she crossed her arms. So what if she liked cute things?
Reaching out, the goddess of the hunt's hand rubbed Naruto's cheeks. Naruto, not expecting this, let out a purr of pleasure.
"Oh no." Thalia, Apollo and Zeus groaned together as the goddess of the hunt's eyes glittered.
Artemis's and Hestia's eyes widened in surprise. Naruto realizing that his secret was discovered again, paled as Artemis let out a feminine giggle and grinned brightly as she looked at him with wonder and a teasing look to her eyes. Hestia was also looking at him; however, unlike Artemis, this was a glare of mock anger and hurt. Naruto scampered back as the two goddess rose up and towered over him.
"I hate it when they double team up." Apollo muttered under his breath.
"~Oooh Naruto~" Said boy gulped as Hestia's voice rang out. "~You didn't tell me that you purred. You need to be punished properly. What do you think Arty?~"
"~I agree. He should have shared his little secret.~ Artemis grinned as she looked down at the scared boy. "~In fact, he should be glad to let us pet him~"
"~I concur.~ With that the two goddess pounced on Naruto.
"Be gentle on Naruto ladies. I don't think his stamina is ready for tango with one not even two goddesses at the same time."
Hestia's and Artemis's faces went scarlet as everyone laughed at them. Apollo and Athena had to restrain their sister from attempting to kill Aphrodite even as the goddess offered to give her some advice on how to do the deed. Zeus was pale at the idea of his little girl doing the deed with a mortal.
Hera snapped her fingers in front of her husband's face. "...I think he needs to rest for a bit. Amphitrite, would you like to read?"
The queen of the seas smiled and accepted the book. Hera flashed out, taking her husband to their chambers before flashing back. As soon as she was settled in Amphitrite continued where they left off.
Athena walked though her temple as her mind raced though the information that Hestia gave her and her half sister. She had heard of Naruto via her daughters, but at the time she ignored them as she was busy with finding the Bolt. Now she was curious about the brother of the sea spawned.
The gods all groaned as Athena nodded. She wanted to know how having a brother would affect the great prophecy.
Grabbing a pad of paper and a pen, she sat down and wrote what Hestia had said about Naruto.
-FlashBack-
"Flash back?" Hylla asked Apollo.
"Used in literature for recalling an event. Fiction writers use it to tie in events that would otherwise be write in before but didn't do to a multitude of reasons."
"Athena, Artemis." Hestia spoke as she looked at her fellow virgin goddesses. They were all sitting around Hestia's dinning table and Hestia was uneasy. She wanted to make sure that she was on time to see Naruto again today and it was getting close to the time they were going to met up. "Is something the matter?"
Artemis looked at her aunt. "You were releasing a lot of power Hestia and we were sent to make sure that nothing was wrong."
Artemis watched as Hestia signed with relief. "No, nothing is wrong..." She trailed off as she started to worry about how she was going to explain why she was happy.
"I shouldn't have to." She stated with a scowl.
Athena frowned as Hestia trailed off. "Is it about the argument about the bolt? Poseidon's child has been given a quest to find it."
"I still don't understand why the quest wasn't given to us or to Jason." Reyna said, avoiding the looks Percy and Annebeth sent her.
"No, it's not about the bolt."
"Then what?" Hestia sighed at Artemis question.
"I am happy because I can be. Also, I have taken I liking to one of the campers."
"Oh?" Athena was interested now. Hestia had never really had any interest about any of the campers for over a century now.
"Who was it?" Hazel asked.
The goddess hummed in thought. "A demigod of Kymopoleia I believe. A good young boy before he died."
"How did he?" Asked Piper.
Hades grunted before taking a sip of nectar. "The mother of monsters and a very drunk Apollo made a new type of monster that was made of sound. He and several hunters of Apollo's loins were chosen to kill them. He died a hero and I believe still on the isle of the best."
"Not my proudest achievement." Apollo lamely stated.
Not saying that she enjoyed the campers company and help them out, it was just the fact she had never taken an interest before. "Who is it?"
"Percy's younger brother, Naruto."
"I do not think I have heard of him." Hestia looked at her niece. "I take it he arrived at the camp with his brother?"
Hestia nodded. "Yes, and he is a cutie. Many of the girl campers have taken a shine to him as he is such a little brother type." She giggled. "I find him to be charming, innocent, energetic, outgoing, and handsome."
"He should be one of mine."
"Please. He is clearly one of mine doves."
"As if sunshine."
"Should we be afraid Hestia? Or are we going to have only two virgin goddess soon?"
Hestia threw a pillow that was on the chair next to her at Artemis. "Oh shush you. Naruto isn't like that. He is just friendly and if you suggest that again or try to castrate him I will make you listen to one of Aphrodite's lectures on how to bag a man again."
Artemis whimpered in terror.
Artemis paled with the threat. Meekly, as Hestia had a dark and evil aura around her, Athena asked, "What does he look like?"
Conjuring an image at the center of the table she showed them. "See for yourselves."
-End FlashBack-
Athena looked at what she had put down and frowned. Hestia was unclear on who she thought was his godly parent as Naruto displayed skills that supported multiple gods. There was also the fact he was adopted and when she pulled his file from the orphanage, all the papers said was that he was found on the street as a newborn.
Hera and Hestia frowned.
'Which means that he most likely was a child of a goddess or was kidnapped by a monster.' Athena looked at the image that she had her daughter send her of Naruto. His blue eyes and blonde hair could be from Hermes, Apollo or herself, but she knew that he was not her child. His whiskers were interesting birthmarks and she toyed with the idea that he was related to Pan,
Hermes perked up-
but dissipated the thought of it.
And down just as quick.
"One message waiting."
Her eyes darted towards the water fountain that she used when conducting IMs. Walking quickly she flicked a coin for the goddess of rainbows. Dionysus 's face appeared and the god looked at the goddess. "Ah, Athena, got my message I see."
"Must be important if I called her."
"You usually don't as you are still stewing over your punishment."
"And you are banging away with you hammer."
Jason blinked in surprise. He had forgotten about the god of the forge and the god of wine.
"What is it Dionysus? You aren't one for social calls." Looking at her youngest half brother with he calculating grey eyes, she flicked her hair around her shoulders. "I have work to do."
"Do you know of Peter Johnson's brother, Menma?" Dionysus asked. It took her a few moments to figure out who he was talking about.
"Irritation to the highest order when he does that."
"Yes."
"Good." Dionysus gulped down a soda. Burping, he looked at the older goddess. "Then I will make this quick. The brat has been asking me about his brother and similar questions about the quest. As we both know, we immortals cannot interfere do to the laws, but to get him to stop I had to promise him that I would see what I would do."
Athena crossed her arms over her chest. "So you called me? Why?"
"Because for one you are not anywhere in the west right now, making it unlikely you would be the god that has turned." Dionysus took a sip from the can. "Also, you will be able to hold one over your rival if you help his son."
"...Keep talking."
"Wha- Oh no you don't!"
"...I will do what I can on one condition."
"I'm listening."
"I want you to spy on Naruto for me." Dionysus's eyes narrowed and he leaned back.
"Why?" Athena looked at Dionysus in the eyes and said nothing. Dionysus backed down by looking away. "Fine, I will report to you weekly about the brat if you can give aid to the his brother, Grover, and your daughter. Agreed?"
"Agreed."
"So we get help from your mom now. Am I going to die in this so soon?" Percy asked with a dry throat to his girlfriend. She slapped him on the head.
Kyuubi rested in the middle of the Hermes cabin under the window. Kyuubi enjoyed the spot as the sunlight hit just right. When the cabin was empty it was rather cozy, if not cluttered. Hearing a noise in one of the corners of the room, Kyuubi jumped up to the rafters and stealthy went over to the area.
"Are you sure about this? If the gods found out..." A boys voice.
Ares blinked and grinned as the gods slowly looked at Hermes who was sweating bullets.
"Why should you care? They have done nothing for us and with the Titans rising we have the chance to over throw them and stat a new age." Another boy's voice.
"... You are right. My father wont ever claim me. Even if he the god of ..."
"Really Herms? In your own cabin and you didn't even notice?" Apollo dryly asked his brother.
"Wha- Come on- Wait I think I need to feed George and Martha. Bye!" Hermes said as he flashed out.
"I'll left Zeus know later." Hades uttered as he summoned the furies to go after Hermes.
"Don't use his title. That god is a pawn right now, abit unknowingly. The only godly immortals you can trust right now are several of the minor ones. if you are with us. Meet us at..." Kyuubi sneezed.
"Is someone there?"
"Search the cabin. Fine whoever it was and bring them to me. I will use my power to make them forget if they are on the gods side. If they are against them it is no importance as the secret will be safe." A girl's voice rang out.
"So we had a mind wiper in the camp on the side of the titans. Wonderful" Thalia wasn't happy with that bit of info.
Several foot steps were heard and Kyuubi ducked into the shadows.
"Why aren't we going to kill whoever it is?"
"Because that would bring the attention of the traveler to us. If blood was drawn in his cabin the whole rebellion would be in jeopardy."
"That would do it for the mail boy. And make my job harder to do. I hate doing the paperwork for all the finances and legal fees." Complained Dionysus.
Kyuubi's eyes widen as it felt it's self fall. A girl walked over to it and picked it up. "Isn't this Naruto's stuffed animal?"
The boys growled at his name. "Yeah that's his. That girly boy is out right doing something. Why you girls seem to like him is beyond me."
Slap "Naruto is a better boy then you Jerry. He has manners and is going to become a hottie when he grows up."
'Son of Demeter.' The demigods who knew of him didn't glance a the upset goddess.
"Tsk. That weakling is nothing. If you like him so much why is it you haven't made a claim on him yet? You could use your magic to make him your slave or something."
"And lose his cuteness that screams 'hold me, I'm weak and innocent'?
"He does have that vibe." Calypso agreed.
No, I want him to keep his innocence so I can train him to serve us females."
'That girl is crazy.' Kyuubi thought as the girl went on about how she would train Naruto. 'Hopefully Naruto will escape her claws. I do not want my power to be controlled by anyone and if my container is a pet/slave of girls, then his masters are my masters.'
"Looks like that is it for now. Think we can do another chapter soon?"
The queen of the underworld now reached for the book. "I'll be next once Zeus and Hermes are back.
Hope you all liked it.
