"I'm sorry Chiron sensei, but it's something that we cannot put off" said Hinata apologetically
"Really?"
"Yes, we may be able to contact some kinsmen, but we must make haste" said Naruto
"And pray tell how do you know?"
"we leaved some wards in relatively safe places or locations that could serve as safe houses, said wards have been triggered; but protocol dictates that if certain time has passed the one who triggered them must leave for safety reasons" quickly followed Shikamaru without missing a beat
"We hope to be able to contact them and maybe bring them back here to camp"
"Yes certainly it would be beneficial for all to have for able hands and I really hope you are able to meet up with your family members. How long do you figure you'll be out?"
"Regardless of whether we manage to meet up or not, it shouldn't take longer than a week" said Naruto offhandedly. Chiron sighted and relented
"Ok, its not like I could stop you but I really don't like campers to expose themselves like this. I guess I still see all campers as kids to look out for"
"We appreciate the feeling Chiron-sensei, but like we said before this has been our life since childhood we are no strangers to danger and we've come to terms with it long time ago" said Hinata reassuringly as she put her hand on Chiron's forearm. The old centaur sighted again and nodded to the young adults as they departed. It may be arrogant of him but he really wished he could do more for this kids. Not only the shinobis, but all of the campers, all of the heroes. They all had their childhoods robbed of them and all just for petty arguments millennia old.
Percy awoke groggily in the quite big bed he had with his mother, since they had moved out from Gabe's apartment a few days ago he had been ecstatic. So happy he was that only now was he wondering why and how his mother had been able to leave that scumbag. After all the new place was pretty damn big, it seemed to house without problems his mom and him in addition to those people that seemed to come and go all the time. Right now he only knew that some rooms were off limits and belonged to the owners. He was actually very curious about whose exactly was this apartment; another thing to ask his mom. He only knew that the night a few days ago they saw Gabe about to hit his mom and stopped him. More like beat him shitless if he had extrapolated correctly his mother's words. Good riddance in Percy's opinion, still he guessed it was about time to know more and call him paranoid but this was NY people don't just offer housing; less so one this grand, just because. He got up from bed, changed and went down to the kitchen. His mother was helping to make breakfast and four people that he had never seen were there.
A girl, well more like young woman, that figure was way past girl. Bad Percy! ANYWAY. She was cooking while his mother helped. She had a slender figure and clear skin, her hair seemed to shift from blackish-blue to teal with the light; as weird as that was and a very beautiful face. She had an apron on top of her light violet sweater and some kind of sport black pants with many pockets and combat boots. That last item made a funny contrast with the apron in his opinion. She seemed very content while cooking and hummed some slow tempo tune, she had good voice he had to say. On the table were two men who also some form fitting clothes that seemed sporty yet rough-though. The blonde had the black pants with many pockets and the combat boots, he wore what seemed like a burnt orange elastic long sleeved shirt. On top of it he carried several holsters like the ones police had, though this ones seemed for knives. While he drank from a cup, maybe coffee, the one beside him was reading on some papers and… were those actually scrolls? Weird, be as it may, the last one was also a woman that was milling around setting up the table. Boy was she a babe. Bad Percy, bad Percy, bad thoughts away. She had lacquer black hair that seemed to suck the light, and white skin that he swore it was unnatural but it wasn't unhealthy looking. Her attire was a complete turnaround from the other three. She wore a white Kimono; thank god for anime that he knew what it was, it had some color imprints on the sleeves but remained very simplistic yet elegant. Following suit this all her was a simplistic yet elegant beauty, her eyes were very light teal colored and at the distance they might lose themselves on the white of the eyes. She didn't seemed to wore make up of any kind yet her face was the most beautiful he had seen till now and those dotted eyebrows of hers made for something refined in his mind. He had actually stood there a good minute following her movements as she seemingly glided with elegant and majestic grace. Percy was broken from his thought when the blonde chuckled and made his mother turn around and see him.
"Percy! Honey come, we're almost finished making breakfast. Be sure to introduce yourself to Hinata and her friends we owe them a lot"
"Hi! I'm Percy Jackson are you the owners of this condo?"
"Yes we are Percy-kun, a pleasure to meet you I'm Naruto" said the blonde as he shook his hand Percy recognized the honorifics from japan.
"Thank you very much, really. You don't look very Japanese" they all chuckled, well the pale beauty just smirked.
"Percy!" chided his mom
"It's okay, Shikamaru; and we're what would be called mixed blooded one of our parents or grandparents wasn't form oriental descent"
"Ohh, sorry I do have a motor mouth from time to time"
"Don't worry Percy-kun, you're not the first person to ask that and you won't be last. It really doesn't bother us. I'm Hinata it's a pleasure" she said as put a plate with rolled eggs, miso he guessed and some fried sausages with orange juice; and waved him come and sit. If anime was being true this was a mixed western-eastern style breakfast.
"Have a seat please, I'm Kaguya it's a pleasure to meet you" said the stoic beauty as she pulled the chair slightly to help him seat and went to help his mother.
"Come Percy-kun have breakfast with us then your mother will have a chat with you, then we'll answer your questions" said Naruto in a happy tone
"Wha- how…"
"Eat now, troublesome stuff later" cut in Shikamaru taking his plate without looking away from the papers he was examining. Percy clamped his mouth and began to eat, he did was hungry.
Breakfast was a pleasant, he and his mother chatted a little for a while it was relaxing for him. Without that silent, and sometimes not so much, pressure with Gabe hovering around or making degrading sexist comments. As breakfast dragged on he began dreading what was to come, of course he wanted to know what was going on, yet he felt equally curios and afraid for some reason. When his mother finished her food she sighted heavily and looked at the blonde, Naruto, in a somewhat pleading way. He caught on and smiled ruefully but nodded.
"Okay, may I call you Percy, Percy-kun?"
"Yeah no prob"
"Ok Percy look… there's no easy or tactful way, at least not one where you don't blow us off as crazy. So I'm gonna be blunt with you and you must remember that everything we're going to tell you is the truth and that if things were different or possible your mother had let you in the dark so you were safe. Alas it is not possible, first thing is that magic and the supernatural are real, look here" he said and just as Percy was predictably going to blow him off, he raised his hand in front of him and a blue orb of light swirled into existence with a soft humming sound. While to Percy it seemed at first to be some sort of light trick and tried to reach to it, he was grabbed by the wrist.
"Look carefully" said Naruto and grabbed a fork, holding above the orb and slowly he lowered it. When it touched the orb the fork was torn & grinded apart leaving behind fine metallic powder. To his surprise; again, the fine powder was sucked into the swirling orb and noticed that it was like a little maelstrom with various levels of depth. The swirls kept changing directions at odd intervals mesmerizing him with its sky blue hues.
"What the-"
"Step back" and then the orb abruptly changed to an angry spectral red. It roared with fury and a ring of flames erupted from it and the swirls sped up and became something akin to a fire storm. The ring seemed to stabilize and became a flickering flame wheel saw disk. The room immediately got warmer and he and his mother started to sweat; though those four seemed to be unaffected.
"One more time" and the roaring orb of doom changed again but this time, the sound of draining water was heard and slowly it became louder as it turned to something like a waterfall crashing down. Its color changed to blue but this time a more cyan hue that reminded him of the sea. The orb shrunk to the size of golf ball but a layer of water formed around it blurring slightly, in the space in between mist floated spiraling softly toward the center. it reminded Percy of the clear water walls that formed when it fell nice and neatly. If he was honest with himself, this one particularly draw on to him for some reason he wanted to hold it; very badly. Naruto arched an eyebrow as he noticed the longing in Percy as he was looking very intently at this variant of the rasengan. Taking note of this and filing it away he dispelled the technique; Percy took a few moments to get out of his trance. Suddenly he was grabbed in the arms by shadows. He was startled by this but didn't had time to protest as he was lifted from the floor and he yelped. The shadows came from the other guy; Shikamaru, and held him high enough to touch the ceiling.
"As we said, the supernatural is real Percy-san and there many, many things hiding in plain view. You are now aware; but know this, from the moment you were born you were part of this" said Shikamaru as he slowly lowered him near his mother.
"Come honey lets sit on the couch, we have much to talk about" Percy still in half shock half awed state just nodded dumbly and followed his mom. The four on the table just remained there.
"That was a little extreme don't you think Naruto" deadpanned Hinata
"Well if I went and tried to convince him with words, he most likely would simply blow us off or do something stupid"
"Like you're one to talk, but I agree this was the most straight forward manner to convince him" supplied Shikamaru as he took a sip of his cup emptying it.
"More coffee?" asked Kaguya
"Yes please" he replied absent mindedly
"You really took a taste for it, didn't you Shika"
"Can't say otherwise, I'm half of a mind to try and bring back a few seed back home" Naruto just chuckled but he was also interested if he could bring a few things home.
"By the way shika, why do you think Ananke-sama hasn't claimed us yet at the camp" Shikamaru took some time to ponder this.
"Don't know but maybe she's waiting the right time or maybe she simply won't. From what I recall in most cases the twelve claim a child when he/she does something of worth; but then in claiming us she would gather the attention of all the current deities. A primordial claiming three son's is bound to draw some notice. On another note, now that we are standing solidly financially and have begun works with the demi-gods; it's time to start looking on how to set up an informant network because the clones can only do so much, even if they henge-themselves"
"Yes, we already made step one on that area but we need more. I've been thinking maybe we could ask sally-san if she knows more parents with demi-gods, parents not happy" proposed Naruto
"You mean to say parents that are not roped in that glory propaganda" clarified Shikamaru
"Hai"
"It's worth a shot, and I'll let us get a feel of how the other parties are aligned. I refuse to think that with all those one sided decrees there isn't some form of dissidence of any type" replied Shikamaru as Hinata's face darkened and Kaguya remained impassive but quietly watching the proceedings.
"It's just too much like the clans" muttered Hinata and Naruto grabbed her hand and smiled at him. Kaguya served her another cup of tea and Hinata thanked her really appreciating the gesture.
"Naruto-sama if I can, did you perhaps noticed the trance that Percy-san experienced when you used you water based technique?"
"Hai, I did actually. He is actually pretty powerful for his age if you compare him to the other campers"
"Sally-san indirectly confirmed that he is a son of one of the twelve, I recall that every demi-god inherits some sort of trait related to their godly parent. If we are straight forward then his fascination for your Suiton: suisei rasen-bakudan would most likely be…"
"Barnacle beards fault" cut in Naruto and Shikamaru nodded
"Maybe but lets wait to see if sally-san will tell Percy-kun and if they're willing to tell us" added Hinata in an after thought
"Sally-san spoke positively of Percy-san's father" added Kaguya
"She actually implied he was very tempted to go against the godly decree" said Shikamaru
"Yeah, lets wait I don't want them to get the wrong idea about us" said Naruto
"Agreed"
"Hai" said both Shikamaru and Kaguya.
"What do you make out of this guys?" asked Naruto to the Bijuu
"Well I'm fairly certain that the whelp it's the sea god's son, I can feel the call of the sea on him" answered Isobu
"Damn, can't help it you felt that, lets just hope they open up to us" thought naruto
"Leaving that aside, it seems that you already have located two of the three childs of that dumb prophecy" added Kurama
"You should offer them some training, I don't believe it would be wise to wait for the kid to arrive to the camp" supplied Son-Goku
"Also you could start the spy network and help Sally-san in one go, though it may seem callous by helping her you could get her on board" supplied Kokuo
"That much I know, I really don't want to use her like that…"
"don't worry too much about that kit we all know that you aren't doing it with that purpose in mind and your friend and mate surely understand this, but you are on a mission so you must capitalize on your resources" cut in Kurama stopping Naruto's train of thought
"Thanks guys" Naruto replied back
"Still think we should just go Juubi cloak and blast the twelve asses a new one" Grumbled Shukaku and the other just eyed him with a little amusement that he had already named that weird accident
"believe me Shukaku I really, really, REALLY want to do just that, I just might do so; but first we need to have more info on those forbidden ones till then we'll play the waiting game" thought back Naruto in a near growl
"Well seems that Percy really is the son of barnacle beard" relied Naruto
"Did the guys told you Naruto?" asked Hinata
"Yeah Isobu is fairly certain, he said he feels the call from the sea in him"
"Did they said anything else?" asked Shikamaru
"Yeah, that we should start a basic training for him, oh! And Shukaku wants to fuck it all and reenact the 4th war on the twelve; Juubi and all" he said with a smirk, they all chuckled at that even Kaguya.
"Wouldn't that be a sight to behold, but I doubt they have someone like Naruto-sama on their side" said Kaguya in a rare show of sarcasm, but somewhat proudly
"Yeah idiots like him are hard to come by" added Shikamaru with a smirk
"Ooy!"
"This is too much mom" said Percy absentmindedly. His mind was just numb and, blown away; again. His father was a god, a powerful one. But he couldn't be with him because sparky was a jealous and paranoid idiot. Most of all myths were real, oh and there are monsters out there that seem to think his flesh it's a Gourmet delicacy. Though it sure explained those little weird incidents now and then.
"believe me honey, I know and I wish that you wouldn't have to deal with all this but, Naruto…-san and his friends made me realize that if I kept this from you for more time not only would I end up hurting you; but most likely it would blow up in our face at the worst possible time" she said with sorrow and at the verge of tears. Percy saw this and frowned and hugged her and she sobbed as her emotions got the best of her. She half expected her son to shout and deny all this crazy stuff and demand the truth. Percy on his part was almost about to do that but the combined facts of Naruto's display earlier and more importantly seeing his mother almost crying made him cool down.
"It's okay mom, I'm really glad that you told me but mostly that we can finally be away from smelly Gabe" he said trying to cheer her up. She chuckled and smiled at the jab
"I know honey, I know"
"Now what mom?"
"Now… well to be frank I'm not even sure, (sight) Naruto-san could you come?"
"Alright!"
"So Naruto-san what now?" asked Sally a little fearful
"Well, that's still up to you sally-san. We couldn't leave you alone for good measure. Being honest there's something you could do for us that would benefice both of us"
"Please I can't possibly continue to abuse your hospitality"
"Please calm down Sally-san, As I briefly explained over the days; we are part of a clan of hunters. Yokai hunters or simply monsters hunters, and yes we are demi-gods. A few months back our clan got attacked and dispersed to the winds. Currently we're trying to find survivors; as such we have set up a few safe houses such as this one but we can't always be here to take care of it"
"Incidentally we took the liberty to hook you up as manager of a new restaurant downtown" added Shikamaru
"God that's too much!" said Sally mortified they were doing so much for her. Percy started to get suspicious, thought he also felt guilty for thinking like that of them. Naruto smiled because Percy wasn't all that god at hiding his expressions
"Please sally-san calm down" interjected Hinata
"Yes, please listen. We didn't saved you to make owe us anything we did it because we wanted to. Now that we are where we are, it's a matter of looking for the best outcome. We did some research and know that you have a major on buissnes administration, so we know you are the right person for the job. Also we were serious about the traveling and really need someone in the IN and OUT of why we don't stay permantly here, with your job you can pay us back by taking care of basic expenditures for you and Percy-kun & keep maintained the condo" said Shikamaru calmly.
"It would also help us out if keep a look out for more of our kinsmen and/or demigods out there. We already have been looking for quite a few months and have only had a brief encounters with some sempais since then" added Hinata in faux dejection
"Of course! Oh my god I can't imagine being apart of my family for so long" exclaimed Sally in a gasp of horror
"Its okay don't worry Sally-san"
"Another thing, though this one is more for you Percy; no offense Sally-san" that picked up Percy's interest that up until now had remained silent.
"Huh?" really Percy, really way to go. Naruto chuckled but seemed to not pay it any mind. His face got serious and looked at him straight in the eyes. Frankly it unnerved Percy a bit
"Percy, these monsters have the ability to smell the godly blood and it turns out that being aware of it increases how strong the smell is. While we can manage it for a few more years with our seals; it will inevitably become too strong. Our offer is that we can train you in basic survival and fighting skills" said Naruto in a serious tone. He wasn't really sure, while he really wanted to accept he was somewhat put off that he had asked him directly. His mother was about to seemingly protest when Hinata spoke up.
"Even if he denied the offer we would ensure that Percy-kun reached safely the camp Sally-san. However if we are to train him he needs to this willingly and out of his free will for this to truly work out; so I'm… we're sorry Sally-san but in this matter the decision must be made entirely by Percy-kun" Sally glared at them but they stared unflinchingly right back.
"Please train me" said Percy at Naruto that hadn't looked away from him.
"OK" Percy saw the inner conflict on his mother expressions and her arguments and complaints became muted, a distant noise severely muffled. He resolved himself, his mother had spent already too much time watching out for him and though some small voice said that it was natural as that's supposedly what mothers do. Another much stronger said that it was too much. The sole fact that in the brief days they had been here, had made wonders in his mother's health and demeanor was proof enough.
"I don't want to be a burden, I want to help you mom to be able to do something" that did it and Sally sighted in defeat and just hugged her son.
"Alright Percy, we'll start tomorrow though it will only be physical conditioning for the first few weeks" said Naruto as he got up and ruffled Percy's hair a bit. Normally he would complain and swat off the offending limb but with Naruto he felt oddly okay with it.
"Oy Shika, think we can do test runs with prototype fitness programs" said naruto as he went back to kitchen but gave Percy his well know prankster grin. Shikamaru eyed knowingly at Percy and snorted.
"Hai, I believe we can do so" then and there Percy had a shiver run up his spine.
"…Crap…"
"Percy!"
The next few weeks became an activity blur for Percy. Between his daily exercises, which more than exercises were run & dodge sessions of never ending pranks Naruto rigged some warehouse they went afterschool hours; his mother coming and going as she was setup for that job they had offered her, and were in the process to transfer him from the Yangzi (can't rightly remember the name, sorry) Academy but since the year was just starting they had to wait a bit. According to the four hunters there was just too many monsters prowling around. It was way too suspicious, they had something about a screening spot or something like that. He guessed that they knew their stuff, even if he didn't understand much for now. That was another thing which had been constantly taking up his time. Besides his physical training they had been teaching him a whole lot more; stuff like survival, gathering herbs & recollection, strategy, some infiltration & saboteur basics. Honestly Percy was dead tired every single day but he wouldn't trade it for the world; not that he would say it out loud.
The cheery blond was SCAAAARY when he wanted to with those trap courses from hell that he set up; the less motivated he felt to make those things the better. Other than that Naruto was actually a really cool guy to be around. Hinata was really sweet and gentle woman; from time to time when they were around she would cook for them so as to let mom have a rest. He had to say that she was one of the best cooks ever, she made mostly oriental dishes but both he and his mom enjoyed them thoroughly whenever they could. Shikamaru was an odd one, he mostly napped around and saying things where troublesome; yet he always was checking on Percy's progress and offered advice from time to time. He also was the one to teach about strategy and had taken to teach him how to play chess, go & shogi; god damn where those a headache. He had to admit though that just like Shikamaru predicted once he got the hang of it he was able to channel his excess energy onto the task if he pictured the board as a sort of battlefield. Last but not least the one that he was the most curious about was Kaguya. His mom teased him to no end about if he had finally developed a crush; though embarrassingly enough he couldn't truly deny nor agree with her. He really was taken aback with her but he couldn't say if he truly had a crush for Kaguya; what he did know was that there was something that draw his attention to her. Again, he couldn't quite put his finger on what; maybe the way she moved with royal grace confident of her actions, her silky midnight black hair, and beautiful white skin that didn't had that sickly tint, maybe her enigmatic eyes. All in all she had this sort of ethereal beauty that contrasted the self-assured aura of strength that she seemed to radiate.
Truly his life had turned around in a completely unexpected direction; however he could openly say that it was a good one. Just in this short time the four hunters had become something close to new family members to Percy; just the other day he had accidentally lapsed with Naruto and called him Nii-chan in Japanese. He had laughed it off and called him back otouto without seeming to mind it. Hinata was becoming something close to an elder sister that doted on him from time to time but didn't spoil him. Shikamaru was sort of an uncle that offered his council when needed, watching from the sidelines but never refused or behaved cold to him.
"God damn it!" shouted one Annabeth Chase as another of her team member was felled by a pit fall that was settled up just after the rope swing they had to take to cross the river that apparently had been made to look like a shallow creek with the mist! On that note they had barely made it to three quarters of the total length of the trap course. She nearly collapsed and went to her knees; besides her where a few more campers and by this point they all had practically forgotten all about the cabin rivalries. She cast a sideway look to Luke as he also rested a bit trying to regain his breath, Clarisse an Ares new arrival stood a few paces of her also breathing rather heavily. This hell course had stripped them all of any thought of culling the numbers, it was doing that pretty well on its own. She mildly wondered if her pride had gotten the best of her, again, when she signed up for the new advanced course preliminaries. The Ares cabin members thought they would have the advantage; though some of the less prideful had taken some extra courses, they had quickly proven wrong. This underworld-damned trap course was beyond anything they expected. It had prank traps with paint, itchy powder and such that led them to really hurtful traps; sometimes the traps where laid quite plainly only to actually scare them from the safe routes, in another cases like just now there were chained traps that were put one after another that didn't let them a moment of respite.
"Fuck, this is crazy! what in De'Inmortalis are thinking this people" shouted Clarisse, not even the seniors deigned to answer her; not that she expected it.
"I very much doubt they truly are human" said some senior from the Apollo cabin as he started to walk. Suddenly Annabeth paled a she heard a sound she had learn to dread in the last three hours or so.
THUNK
CREAAK
"Take cover!" Shouted Annabeth as she dived to the ground as another contraption flung gloves with that hateful powder paint that impacted some of the seniors and the last of the newbies besides Clarisse and her. The seniors still covered in paint still went to the floor, trying to keep damage at minimum. The newbie spluttered as he was hit on the face, then several darts where fired from the trees, and he got one on the ass of all places. The poor kid was down for the count in less than ten seconds and fell unconscious on his face.
"FUCK THIS SHIT!" Shouted Clarisse again, she had to agree; mentally.
"On a side note, we haven't encountered one single Hellhound" offered George, or Fred she wasn't quite sure of who was this one. Luke just looked like he wanted to shove his face with some of that paint; not that he dared try and reach one.
Hello People still alive! lol sorry shit happens
Soooo, we draw closer to the true turning point in this fiction. yes thalia will be pulled out of the tree very early but no she won't return imediately to the camp. Anake is gonna throw some heavy shit at the Olympians just for giggles (mine mostly) but hey if we are already taking her name borrowed she might as well make some fun out of it.
speaking of future-prophecy shit issues, i hate them so there's a warning right there. past that naruto is basicly a tie breaker and his willful traits make for the human factor
percy is gonna be a little bit more mature but still rash, simply put he will still create trouble but now he CAN take care of it.
pairing wise for the campers I'll say that it won't be necesarally like in the book as there will be characters deads
AAaaaammmd yes fred and george are the ones of harry potter, well thier equivalents in the PJO-verse
as always, hope you liked it and please review, you can flame if you want its your right; it's mine to remove offensive stuff
