Killerninja123: Hope you like the chapter!


Nico's POV

When Percy, Paul, and I split up, we look everwhere for Hinata. We tried every place they we were assigned to do. Percy contacted Annabeth to help us find her. I summoned some skeletons and ghosts to help me search for her. We tried everything we can to look for Hinata, but we can't find her anywhere. As we got back, Hikari was more devastated. Her eyes looked like as if it was darken with betrayal. Sally helped Hikari back to her apartment so in the morning we can look for Hinata. I just hope nothing bad has happened to her. I wonder if Daisy and Mason had to do something about it.

During the night, I couldn't sleep. I was thinking about Hinata. I know why she would do this, but I didn't know she'll do this kind of thing. Her mother is worried about her and now she's somewhere in New York. If she is a demigod and gets attack by monsters, I hope her father is watching helping her and no monsters are attacking her. There was silence inside the cold dark room, but I can only hear the muffleling sound of Hinata's mother. It sounded like as if she was praying to Hinata's father. Whoever he is, if he is one of the Olympian or minor gods, he better lead us to her.

As soon as dawn came, everyone woke up early to find Hinata. Hikari wanted to look for Hinata so we let her, but Sally went with her just in case if she needs any help. Percy and Annabeth tried to search for her together, while Paul went to other places in Manhatten near camp and other places where she might be. For me, I tried to the school. If someone who messes with Hinata may know where she might be.

I couldn't believe I have to asked the two people that bullied Hinata, but I've got to try. I've got to know where she is or else she might be in some danger where is it life or death situation. When I appraoched to the school, I saw Daisy and Mason. They were both corning a middle schoole boy. I sighed. Have they learn anything? Then the two bully couple frozed as they saw my shadow and turned around. Their victum quickly escape from their rath as they didn't noticed him escaping from them.

"What do you want?" Mason barked

Without thinking, I pinned both Mason and Daisy with a kitchen knife. I glared at them with rage in my eyes. I was desprate to use my sword at them, but I know I can't becaues it doesn't hurt them at all. So sometimes steel weapons are useful sometimes.

"Where's Hinata?" I demanded. "What had you done to her?"

"We don't know what you're talking about!" Mason snapped.

I growled at the two. I put my knife at their necks. Sweat was dripping down on the side of their heads. If they are telling the truth, then I'm wasting my time, but if they did seen her and did something to her, I'll let them go, but I'll leave them both a wounded mark on their arms though.

"Now, I'm going to ask again, where's Hinata?" I asked. "What have you done to her?"

"Look, we didn't do anything to her after school!" Daisy shouted. "The last thing we saw her is yesterday and today at the hill road with that one giant cherry tree!"

"Besides she was filthy anyway," Mason added. "We don't beat up filthy people. I don't see why she wanted to look like a hobo in public."

"Where's the tree at?" I snapped

"Behind the school, not too far from here, please don't kill us!" Mason answered quickly.

I quickly let go of Mason and Daisy and ran off. I stuff the kitchen knife in my pocket. As I went behind the school, I saw a tree. The tree was starting to sprout buds of flowers for the upcoming spring. There at the cherry tree was a familiar figure. As I ran up the hill the figure went behind the tree. The sun was up high enough as if it was touching the hill. When I got closer, I crouch down and saw the head of Hinata. I sighed to myself. So she was here all along? How come Paul didn't look right here? I guess, like everyone else, he was in a hurry to find her. Hinata slowly came out of behind the tree, but she was still holding the truck as if it was going to protect her.

Her face and clothes were covered with mud, her clothes were torn as if she was cut by knives. Her eyes were bloodshot and looked like they were sufficating from the bullying that cause her to be this way. I lifted up my hand as I slowly reached up to her, but then Hinata went behind the tree again quickly as if I was going to hurt her. I'll never hurt Hinata like Mason and Daisy did to her. That's not my nature.

"Hinata, plase come out," I said softly.

I reach out my hand again, but this time she slapped my hand away. I felt a sharp cut that was cutting through my palm. As I look at my hand, I was right. There was a ver long cut across my palm. The wound started to bleed rapidly. I look carefully and saw that there was a long piece of glass stuck on Hinata's hand. I'm not sure how she got it, but it looked infected.

"It doesn't hurt," I said calmly. "I've got many cuts than this. Come o, Hinata we've got to get you home."

Then I heard footsteps coming this way. I thought it would be Mason and Daisy so they can beat me up of what I did to them, but I was wrong. It was Hinata's mother Hikari. I didn't know how she got here or how she knew Hinata was here, but Hikari's eyes looked darkened and pale the same time as if she had gone insane.

"Hinata..." Hikari said sadly. "Hinata...it's Mother. Nico told me what happened to you at school. What are you doing? Why are you always bring the people around you so much trouble? What are you really thinking? You made Mother so worried. Are you happy about this?"

My face darkened. Why is Hinata's mother talking like this? This is very unlike her. Hinata never brings trouble around people, she doesn't want to be a burden to them. She's not happy about this. She's just scared and lonely.

"Why didn't you tell Mother someone has been bullying you?" Hikari questioned her daughter. "Why did you run away from home? Why did you refuse to talk? I'm already very tired...I can't take it anymore."

"It's really hard for someone who is being bullied." I said. "Being bullied by others is too sad and shameful. I think Hinata was thinking that you thought she might be useless of a daughter. She was scared. She tried to put on a brave face and tried to handle it herself, but she couldn't. She was scared just to thinks that you would think that she's not good of a daughter for you and thinks she's useless. Becaues you, Hikari love her is what she wants to hear you say."

Suddenly, Hinata reached out and touch my wounded hand. My heart was pounding. She pulled me against her as she cried. Fat tears rolled over her cheeks as it landed on the blood of my palm. She held my hand close to her cheek as if it was comfort. I smiled softly. Now I know what the words she wants to hear from Hikari. She wants her to say, "This is not your fault, it's okay." That's what she hopes Hikari will say, but I think Hikari never said that to her. I took off my jacket and out it around her shoulders. She must be cold and freezing during the night. I was about to stand up, but Hinata got up and cried on my chest as if she didn't want me to leave her sight. The words of a mother's comforting words strengthens the heart. They are the source of courage. That's want Hinata wants. She wants to hear her mother's comforting words to strengthen her heart and have courage.


Percy POV

"A house guest?" I asked Mom. "Hinata? How did Nico find her? Did he beat up people just to find her?"

"Percy, you know a lot of things has happened today and yesterday," Mom said. "So I descide to let her stay for the time being."

"Her mother looked like as if she had reached her limit." Annabeth said. "A little seperation will probably benefit both sides."

I scratch my head in confusion. Then poked Annabeth on the shoulder. "I really don't understand at all. Then where's Hinata now?"

Mom smiled. "Right next to Nico of course."


Back to Nico's POV

I was alone with Hinata. She was sleeping on my bedroom floor with a blacnket on her. She must have really been tired. She was sleeping on my lap. I didn't mind about that, but something funny is happening inside of my heart. I felt like I want to be right beside her any minute too. Then I ntoice a shimmering light in the corner. I turned around and saw a man with sandy blonde hair, bright amber eyes, wearing a sleeveless shirt. At first I thought it was Luke, but then it turned out to be Apollo, the god of sun, music, prophecies, and poetry.

"Lord Apollo, what are you doing here?" I asked

"I was just having a joy ride around the sky and saw you with a girl," Apollo explained. "So I just want to see if I was right."

Apollo walked over to me and saw a sleeping Hinata. He smiled softly at her and touch her cheek and hair. He sat down and gazed at her as if he never wanted to leave her sight.

Apollo sighed. "She's...asleep?"

I nodded. "Yes."

"She really seems like she doesn't want to leave your side at all," Apollo pointed out. "Aren't you tired?"

"I know she doesn't want to leave my side," I said. "I'm not tired at all. I'm actually glad she's right by my side."

"I'm glad...she has a friend now," Apollo said. "but I think there's somthing more than being friends with her."

"What do you mean? I questioned the sun god

Apollo smiled. "You'll find out."

Then Apollo disappeared.

I look down at Hinata as if i wanted to make sure she's alright. she seems so peaceful and calm as if this had never happened. My heart was acting up for some reason. I don't know what it is, but somehow I felt close to Hinata. I want her not to be lonely like how I was when Bianca died. I don't want her to have any problems. I just want her to smile and be cheerful, but even now she lost her ability to speak, I still wanted to hear her voice. Her sweet beautiful voice and I...be a kind of man that wll make her happy.
