Nico POV

It's been three days since Hinata is our guest. She hasn't left my side at all. Well, whenever I was in the bathroom, she waited for me outside. I mean she doesn't have to wait, but since I got her out of her shell she doesn't want to leave my side. I feel so attach to her, that I felt like I'm falling for her. She didn't speak at all, but we were trying to help her. At school, everyone was glad that she wasn't around. I found that very messed up. How can people act like this?

As I got out cleaning my chorse, which I get the worst one of all. The toilet...I don't see why Percy can't clean his own bathroom. It's his apartment! Also I don't see why I have to do this chore on a school day! Hinata walked over to me. I knew she was waiting for me to finish, which she still doesn't have to wait.

"Sorry, it took so long," I aplogized taking off the rubber gloves. "I never knew Percy can make a giant mess in there. I thought his room was troublesome."

Hinata held the back of my shirt as if she was a little six year old trying to gets its mother attention. I got to admit, she is cute, but I'll never say that out loud. Even though it was...like what? Four or five o'clock in the morning? I still have to do house work, but I didn't mind. Hinata helped me on some house work, but I just want her to try to speak. While I did the other chorse around the house, Percy and Paul watched us along with Mrs. O'Leary. Also Hinata thinks that Mrs. O'Leary is a black husky dog, thanks to the Mist that altered her mind. Actually since Percy can't use the Mist, I know how to use it. Thanks to the girl that dump me for scar traitor.

"This is a good sight..I think." Percy said. "It's so warmingnee."

"I'm don't think that's a word Percy," Paul said.

"Besides they look happy," Percy pointed out. "I mean Nico is actually warming up to her. If they go out with each other, they'll make a good couple, than his other girlfriend."

"Just remember not to mention her name around him," Paul whispered. "Even since Hinata is staying with us for a while, we don't want him to be down by mentioning her name."

I rolled my eyes. I can hear them.

"Oi, hungry here!" Percy called.

"Why can't you cook for yourselves?" I shouted.

"Have you try my cooking?" Percy questioned. "It's horrible."

"He has a point." Paul ageed. "I hate Percy's cooking anyway. Sally's cooking is better, but now since she stood up very late to write her book, she needs to get a lot of rest until the sun arrives."

Percy nodded. "Yeah...Hey!"

"Fine I'll cook," I said and then I turn to Hinata. "Hinata what do you like to eat for breakfast?"

Hinata opened her mouth, but no words came out. I was actually down that I didn't hear her voice. Then I got an idea. I got out some index cards and wrote down all the breakfast meals. I faced the cards upside down so Hinata won't see the words of the meals.

"Okay, Hinata, just pick any card and we'll make our breakfast," I said. "If you don't like that kind of meal, then you can choose another one that you prefer."

Hinata nodded.

She looked at the faced down cards. She looked around to see which card is the right breakfast that she'll have. I don't mind what breakfast she chooses as long as Percy shuts up about being hungry and Hinata is eating something. Suddenly, Hinata picked a card on the right hand corner.

I smiled. "Okay, let's see what I'll make."

I flip over the card. It says: Matzo balls soup with stewed leeks.

Percy's mouth dropped open. "The horror! The HORROR!"

"SHUT UP!" I shouted angrily at him. Then I turn to Hinata with a nervous smiled. "Sorry, about that. Percy just hates matzo balls soup with stewed leeks, but Hinata. Do you like this kind of meal? I mean I just wrote down half of these randomly while the others aren't. Besides, I just want to see Percy suffer."

"I'm going to strangle you, Nico!" Percy shouted

Hinata nodded as she smiled.

"Okay, then, I'll make the breakfast," I said. "Even though its a dinner meal, but who cares anyway? Also who cares of what Percy thinks-"

"I do!" Percy interuppted. "Are you trying to kill me here, di Angelo?"

"But at least we get to see him tortured." I finished

Then Percy grabbed a hold load of my hair and started to pull it. It didn't hurt, but then I saw Hinata smiling some more as if she was laughing. No sound of laugher came out, but I got to admit her smile is cute. My eyes soften. At least she is able to smile, but hearing her voice and seeing her smile the same time is what I want to most.

After Paul got Percy to calm down...a little. I started to make the breakfast. Hinata helped me with the meal. I was glad she was able to help, becaues I barely know how to make this. Besides Sally only makes this when Percy is not around, even when he's with Annabeth. As soon as everyone was done with their meal, Paul did the dishes and Percy was vomiting in the toilet. I couldn't believe I just clean that and now it's stinks like his breath. After Percy finished vomiting, he poped a blue mint into his voice and grabbed his backpack.

"Come on, Nico we have to go." Percy called, but his voice sounded sick. Which I was ammused by that anyway. Besides it was an unplaned payback.

"Coming!" I called back and turned to Hinata. "I'll get your homework from your teachers. Don't worry, you have Sally and Mrs. O'Leary for company. I'll be back soon."

As I went out of the apartment, I closed the door slowly to see one last glimce of Hinata. Hinata sat down on the floor and she just sat there as if she was waiting for me to return. I finally closed the door. I don't want her to just sit there and wait. Percy and I walked to school silently. Since Percy was still sick of the breakfast, I snickered to myself of ammusement. I'm thinking, I should give him some more, just for the fun of it.

When I came to school, everyone acted as if Hinata didn't exists at all. Daisy, Mason, and their friends kept their distance from me, which was kind of nice. Before lunched started, one of Hinata's teacher gave me a letter for Hinata. Somehow I get a feeling that it's going to be nauseating. At lunch, I met Percy there. He didn't feel well becaues of the brekafast. I wonder how long he's going to stay sick like that. Maybe I should sneak some stewed leaks into his burgers now. Besides it'll be good blackmail for the Stoll brothers when I come back to camp anyway.

"Do you think Hinata is going to come back?" Percy asked. "You know she can't stay with us forever."

"I know," I said. "but I've got to find a way to make her talk again. It's the only way she can go back with her mother and be back at school and work."

"I don't see why everyone made fun of her," Percy said. "There's nothing wrong with her. Is there?"

I nodded. "Everyone made fun of her becaues of how she looked. Her appearance hinddered everyone's feelings becaues of her orange strawberry hair and amber eyes. The compare her to another animal all the time in class. Everytime she talked they just giggled and laugh at her as if her voice was a joke. After that her eyes started to sufficate with darkness within her heart. I don't see people making fun of you or me at all. Everyone just ignored me and called me, 'Emo', which I don't mind and everyone calls you 'Waterboy', but your dense , you don't notice these things."

Percy smiled as if he liked the nickname that the students gave him. "Waterboy, huh? It actually fits perfectly."

"Well, I'm not surprised." I said sarcastically.

"I wonder if her mom is going to do anything," Percy wondered. "She hasn't visit Hinata in three days."

"Actually she did called last night," I mentioned

-Flashback-

The phone rang. It was like almost my cerfew and someone is going to call this late? Who will be calling at this time of time? If it's the Stoll brothers' prank clal again, I'm going to sned a thousand skeeltons at them and see if they'll like that. I grumbled as I picked up the phone. I don't want to talk to anyone at this time of hour. Why can't Sally, Paul, or Percy pick up the phone?

"Hello?" I asked.

"Oh good Nico it's you," answered a familar voice.

"Ms. Kana?" I inquired.

"Yes, it's me," She said, then asked. "How's Hinata? Is she eating her meals? Hinata doesn't like sour food that much. She loves matzo balls soup with stewed leeks and sugary sweets."

"She's doing find," I assured her. "She's getting her meals everyday. She's okay."

"Thank you," Hikari said. "I wish she's back here with me again. I wanted to make things right for her."

"You will," I said. "You're her mother afterall. When her voice is back, then you'll be able to make things for for Hinata."

"Make sure she's getting her homework," Hikari pointed out. "I don't want her to fall behind of her studdies. Make sure she's not too lonely when she's at your apartment. Also make sure that your with her."

"Don't worry, Ms. Kana," I said. "I'm making sure she's getting all of it."

Then I heard Hikari sighed on the phone. "Thank you so much. I wish I was there for her. I wish I could be a better mother to her."

I didn't answered that. She should have been a better mother to Hinata. What did she do when Hinata was bullied? What did she say to her when she found out many times when they kept on moving from state to state? What was she actually doing? Did she even paid attention to Hinata's feelings at all? What kind of mother does that to its child? Did she even comfort her at all?

"We'll just see how it goes when Hinata is back with you." I said.

"Yes," She agreed. "We'll see. Thank you for your support for helping her."

-Flashback ended-

Percy smiled a little. "At least she did called. If she didn't called, then we'll think that she doesn't care about Hinata. I guess Hinata is always in her mind."

"It seems like it." I muttered

I got up from the grouns and wipe the dirt off of my pants. Then I pulled out the letter out of my pocket back pocket. I put it next to my head for Percy to see.

Percy frowned at the letter. "What's that for? Are you writing her back?"

I shook my head and smirked at him. "This is a letter from Hinata's teachers. I bet it's going to be really nauseating when I give it to her."

-Home-

Still Nico's POV

Hinata was reading the letter at the balcony. Percy was in his room talking to Annabeth on the phone or Iris messaging her (no surprised there) I was inside the living room seeing if that stupid vomiting letter helped, but to me I don't think it'll help at all. She'll still get picked on even if she comes back to school. I went on the balcony. Hinata stopped reading the letter, but I didn't hear any sound coming out of her mouth.

"What does it say?" I asked

Hinata handed me the letter. I took the letter and read it:

Miss Kana,

Are you feeling well to gradually return back to school? Everyone in class is waiting for your return. Would you like your teachers to discuss with you and how to make your relationship with everyone positive with your return? And the most important thing is for you to like yourself? Once you discovered the good points that you like about yourself, once you stop hating yourself then won't other people start to like you?

"Tsk, this is nauseating." I exclaimed.

There was a long pause. A cold breeze blew over. Hinata didn't move. She still didn't talk. I wasn't sure if this letter really helped at all. I think it just madeit worst for her. Why would everyone in her class will be waiting for her return? They'll just make fun of her again anyway. Nothing is going to change for her, unless the people there change their attitude twoards her. Somehow, the hating herself part, I can relate too.

"You know, I used to hate myself too," I said as I sat down behind Hinata. "I was too ashamed of myself of how I think I cause someone's death. My sister Bianca...left me to join a group of girls. I didn't like it at all and started to feel a grudge against her. Then when she died, I started to hate and feel ashamed of myself of how I may regret this. I thought there was no good points of this, but only the bad points. I only sticked to the bad point of who I am and what people think of me. What I mean to say is, 'good points' is how you search for that...one only sees my bad points that's why I hate myself. Why force and strain yourself to see vain? It's not like that, it's not that way. It's when someone says 'I like you' first. Only then one begins to think about oneself. When someone accepted you first, only then you can forgive yourself little by little to start a feeling love that's what I think."

I wasn't sure if that was going to help her, but I did try my best. She needs to take courage and accepted that she is being ignored by everyone, but not everyone. I'm not ignoring her and Percy's not ignoring her too. Even Annabeth goes to a different school, but she doesn't ignored her too. I accepted Hinata for who she is and that's all it counts. I don't care what she looks like as long as she's a huiman being.

"...Yes," Hinata whispered as she started to cry. "I'm happy now..."

"Hi-Hinata?" I gasped. "Hinata, after this will it be the same? Do you think it's a good way to keep it up?"

Hinata cried. "N-No...no...I'll try h-harder a little more...no more s-steadily...I'll stop being a h-hopeless person and eventually make p-peace, even if being i-ignored, but p-perfectly I'll do b-best even so..."

I smiled. "Well then, do your best. When you feel sad or treated badly come to us seperatly individually. I'll be here for you Hinata no matter what happens."

Hinata started to cry some more. Without thinking, I touch her cheek from behind. I can feel the wet teras dripping down form her cheek. Then I embraced her as I pulled her into my arms. I heard her gasped, but she held on to me. I held her as she cried. She finally spoke. Even though she may have trouble with the other classmates, but I didn't care. I was glad I can hear the voice again. I don't care of what any body thinks of her. I'm just glad she finally got her words out.

One can't gather strength at a moment's notice. That's something that can't be changed just like that. The body still shivers, however the intention to fight against it? What's the most important is the aspiration to overcome this weakness.

"After a long time," I said. "at last that beautiful voice can be heard."
