A/N WHAT? Two Updates? No. Freaking. Way! Too bad it's another short one.

I always kinda liked the idea that even a Daughter of Ares could have interesting hobbies.

Anyway, I hope you like this.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

Many people would argue that the daughter of the God of War and Bloodshed has no place doing anything involving strategy or intelligence, but that has never stopped Clarisse.

Many people would also be thoroughly surprised to find out that Clarisse la Rue excels at chess. She's never understood how people could not get it; it was a simple game. The hardest part was understanding how the pieces moved, and even that just took time playing it.

So when Chris walked in on his girlfriend kicking a computer's ass in a game of online chess, he almost got his arm torn off.

It became somewhat of a tradition for them though; playing chess when no one was around. Chris had nowhere near the experience that she did, but he still tried. Besides, Clarisse found it was more fun playing with a real person.

"Check mate," Clarisse said with a smirk.

Chris sighed and rubbed his eyes tiredly. "I swear, I don't know how you do this."

Clarisse rolled her eyes. "It's easy, look-" Suddenly there was a knock on the door of Cabin Five.

"Clarisse?" One of her siblings called out. "When did we get a freaking lock?"

"Fuck," Clarisse swore under her breath. She started putting the pieces away furiously.

Chris shook his head. "I don't know why this is such a big secret. You're allowed to have hobbies!"

Clarisse paused, but continued just as quickly. "I know, but chess? That wouldn't go over- Chris? What are you doing?" Clarisse furiously whispered as Chris got up and started walking towards the door.

"Clearly your siblings need in the cabin," He answered.

"You douche," She mumbled. She finally got the pieces away and shoved the box hastily under her bed just as Chris opened the door.

Mark, one of Clarisse's brothers, looked around his cabin suspiciously. Then it was if a light bulb went out in his head. "Ew, you two are disgusting. Get out Rodriguez."

"Actually, we were just-" Clarisse looked at him pleadingly from behind her brother's back, and he sighed. "My bad, man. Later, Clarisse." And with that, he walked back out the door. Clarisse silently thank him.

Clarisse la Rue's chess secret remained safe, and she planned to keep it that way.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

A/N Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn! Mmmmm, I'm tired. I don't really like this one. I might redo it later. I have gym tomorrow, so I really should sleep. I hope you liked it, sorry for the shortness.

Goodnight.

Peace, Love, and Pokemon-
