Mr. D: I agree. It seems he is there to hurt them.

Percy: what do you suggest we do? (the first time he actually is asking for advice from the camp director)

Yuka's father: (sees Dionysus) Excuse me sir are you the head farmer here?

Mr. D: Farmer? We don't have farmers here.

Yuka's father: isn't this a farmstead?

Chiron: (comes out in his phony wheelchair and wheels over to where Dionysus is already having a plan in his own head) Mr. D where are the new books we ordered for our Students and where are the Schedules for the new coming students?

(pulling out the ploy that this place is the year round Boarding school that Kagome attends)

Mr. D: *catching on* I thought I left it on the desk right inside the main office.

Yuka's father: uh this is a school? I though it was a farm.

Chiron: (wheels back in and makes a sound like he found what he was looking for) ah I found the new school schedules and the books we have several new students who have yet to receive a schedule I need to pay them a visit and let them know it is almost time for our morning meal and then see how they are adjusting to their dorms (is actually enjoying being a teacher again)

Yuka's father: Listen all I want to know is have you seen my wife and child. (decides to put on an act for this school hoping that his reputation does not precede him) I am so worried about them I have been searching for days please if you have seen them tell me where I can find them.

Mr. D: No, I can't say that we know them, or their whereabouts.

Yuka's father: I see (tries to make his eyes look tired and despondent) I was hoping I would be able to see my little girl safe and sound again she was my treasure. (is trying to pull the wool over Dionysus's eyes) and my wife sure her hands were wrinkled and calloused with how hard she had to work to keep our home clean but I still loved her. (works up some crocodile tears)

Grover: (is almost taken in and looks at Mr. D) oh the poor man.

Mr. D: *looks at Grover and quickly shakes his head* I'm sorry, we don't have a mother-daughter pair here.

father: thank you anyway sir but if you ever find them perhaps you can let me know? (prepares to give him his phone number)

Mr. D: Yes. *starts to turn and walk away*

Yuka's father: Wait you don't even have my phone number yet (scribbles it down on a piece of paper) here this is my home and my work number too.

(thinks he has fooled this principal)

Mr. D: Oh, right, thank you. *walks away from the barrier, throwing away the man's phone number in the meantime* Won't be needing that.

Grover: (looks at Mr. D ) uh why did you do that (had noticed he had thrown the numbers away) that man is hurting and is trying to find his loved ones (like I said Grover was Taken in just enough to be crazy)

Mr. D: He was lying.

Chiron: (walks out in Centaur form now ) Grover that was Yuka's father who means to harm the girl who has made friends with all of us would you like to see that man hurt the girl who has become friends with everyone here?

Grover: Oh, no...

Chiron: neither do any of us her safety is of the utmost importance. (trots over to where Yuka and Kagome are) that man is gone I don't think he will return and if he does we will decide what to do from there. Yuka and her mother are safe here.

Kagome: Thanks, Chiron.

Artemis: (walks over to Chiron) yes thank you your quick thinking is what saved us just now.

Yuka: I don't know how I will ever be able to thank you for helping mom and me finally escape from my father's abusive ways.

Kaede: (is talking with Zeus and Hera she had a problem with some one who had dropped an anonymous gift for Inuyasha off at her house and it un easy about it) Zeus I need to speak to you and your wife together because I don't know what to do.

Zeus: What's that, Kaede?

Kaede: several days before I came here I had an odd visitor who dropped a strange gift off at my house which was addressed to Inuyasha and Kagome with best wishes for the future from a friend (that was what was written on the note that was attached to the gift.) and so being curious and overly suspicious knowing how many enemies Inuyasha and Kagome still have out there I decided to make sure what the gift contained and when I lifted the cotton sheet that covered the basket I found the basket itself contained this. (lifts up the basket filled with human faced fruit) and another note of instruction saying to plant this fruit and with the right amount of care eventually the tree would reward Inuyasha and Kagome with the fruit of Longevity

what is your opinion sir?

Zeus: The Fruit of Longevity is supposed to grant the consumer immortality, is it not?

Kaede: yes supposedly but I know well where that human faced fruit comes from and yet I have never truthfully heard of any fruit of Longevity coming from the same tree as those fruits. Those fruits come from Ninmenka. but why do you ask? do you know something that I have yet to hear?

Zeus: I'd get rid of that. They don't need it. If they want immortality, they will be granted it as their wedding gift.

Kaede: (smiles) I am glad I sought your counsel I also do not believe that who ever sent this basket to Inuyasha and Kagome was a friend of theirs at all but an enemy who probably had access to Ninmenka which is a demon tree that uses human bodies as fertilizer. Inuyasha told me about his and Kagome's fight against one such villain on the start of the lunar month several years ago. (meaning Tokajin)

Zeus: I see. Then you must have needed to get rid of it anyway.

Kaede: yes though my question is how to dispose of it.

Hera: I will take the vile basket and see what Hades thinks should be done with it after all I would dread letting Inuyasha see this wretched thing

(picks up the basket and heads towards where Hades is and looks at him) Hades Kaede brought this basket to our attention (knows that Hades knows about the gift she and Zeus and planning to give to Inuyasha and Kagome) and Kaede believes that one of Inuyasha's enemies sent him this gift of Human faced Fruit. we now need your opinion on how to dispose of it.

Hades: They best way here, I think is burning it at dinnertime.

Hera: yes I suppose that is best. I think it is obvious you wouldn't want these. (knows that Hades really has no desire to have a tree that requires death just for the thing to grow)

Hades: No... horrible things, they are.

Nico: (walks over and almost takes one of the fruits) Oh those peaches look good. may I have on dad?

(is still rather naive)

Hades: Ah... no. Why don't you get one from the kitchens?

Nico: ok (heads off)

Hera: I think we should dispose of these quickly though we could give them to Yuka's father. whenever he next comes this way.

Nah I think that would be to evil we should just destroy the fruit)

(it was the first of July which means it's the Night of the new Moon)

Inuyasha: (is finally feeling brave enough to show his grandmother what he never showed her when he was a young child that his time in school really wasn't as fine as he had tried to make her believe. and takes his "failed" homework to Athena) Grandma? are you here? (the sun hasn't set yet)

Athena: Yes Inuyasha?

Inuyasha: (hands her the paper with his elementary school math homework on it.) I should have shown you this the last time you visited mom and me when I was a small child but I was afraid of what you would think so I kept telling that school was doing good and that everything was fine trying to make you believe things had changed.

(the failing grade is still prominent on the homework even though nothing is even marked wrong)

Athena: Oh... that was a terribly long time ago, wasn't it? Hm... I remember. Why didn't you just come out and tell me? I would have helped you.

Inuyasha: I didn't want to worry you. (knows that he was given the failing grade because he was a half demon and thinks back to his first failing grade and how he and his mother had tried to get them to change it)

Annabeth: you should never hide that kind of stuff even if you were unfairly given that grade you should never be ashamed to go to your grandmother or even your mother and ask for help because there might be things they can do to fix the problem or make them change the grade to the one you deserve. (had been in the cabin and had come out when Inuyasha and Athena were talking)

Inuyasha: I had taken my failing grade to my mom the first time they did that and mom tried to get them to change the grade but the head teacher told her that I was lucky that I was being aloud to attend school at all and that I would take the bad grades they gave me and I would like it or they could kick me out of school. so I told mom to just drop the subject. and I started hiding my grades from everyone.

Annabeth: (Knows all about it because Kagome had told her about it since Inuyasha seemed comfortable with her knowing but hadn't said anything to Athena because she guessed Inuyasha would prefer to tell his grandmother himself)

Inuyasha: (looks at his grandmother) I am sorry it took me this long to tell you.

Athena: Its fine, don' worry yourself too much. It was a while ago.

Inuyasha: (smiles at his grandmother and hugs her as the sun finally goes down below the horizon and he becomes human)

Inuyasha: (smiles as everyone is called to dinner)

(soon everyone is sitting and eating and Hera disposes of the human faced fruits and then sits down next to miroku)

Lady Kanade: (appears basically still having only a small portion of life force left to her manages to appear at the camp) (somehow was able to bypass the barrier around the camp.)

Ai: *who looked up at dinner* Lady Kanade?

Lady Kanade: hello again Ai.

Ai: What are you doing here?

Lady Kanade: I came using the small remaining amount of life force I have left to see you and your friends again. I am glad to find you have been reunited with your families at least.

Ai: We have! We've all got mommies and daddies now.

Lady Kanade: (looks at Zeus and the other gods and goddesses that are gathered) I was permitted to tell Inuyasha this when he and Asagi were pulled into the cauldron of Resonance but know you have your chance to hear this incase many of your don't remember or know the tale of Horai island. for along time Horai island was a paradise where Humans and Demons lived in peace and harmony and on some occasions Greek gods also spent time on the island in time many half demons were born some from the union of the Greek god or goddess and a demon man or woman, and some from the union of a human man or woman and a demon man or woman. and they continued to live in peace. on the out side world humans viewed half demons with suspicion while demons viewed humans with distain they knew it would be impossible to live in the outside world so in order to protect those lives for all eternity the inhabitants of Horai island decided to cut all ties with the outside world. but every fifty years when the time barrier became weak demons from the outside world would attack the island the four war gods were among them and there was great blood shed I fought too. it was all I could do to seal their spheres of power into the cauldron at the cost of my life. they realized by throwing in live half demons they could retrieve small amounts of their power each time. it was at that point of the tale that you managed to get the door of the cauldron open enough to give Inuyasha a chance to see his escape route. and so I granted him a enough of my life force to enable him to escape from the cauldron carrying the box with the spheres of power that had been possessed by the four war gods and ended up granting you the victory you needed.

(the tiny firefly that is lady Kanade floats over to Artemis' table and lands near Asagi) Asagi again I ask your forgiveness I believe that I made the wrong choice on how to battle the four war gods and it almost cost you your life I will continue to pray that you find Happiness.

Asagi: Thank you, Lady Kanade. I am happy here.

Lady Kanade: (floats over to Artemis) thank you Artemis for succeeding where I had failed. (you can tell the Kanade and Artemis had at one time been good friends)

Artemis: It's no problem.

Lady Kanade: I am glad to know you have all found happiness (is speaking to everyone) now I can fade away with out regrets. (as she prepares to fade having expended her the last bit of her life force she had left the wind had blown her near where Hades was but the little firefly knows there is not enough of her left for him to catch)

Nico: Dad why is there a fire fly floating in front of you?

Hades: Lady Kanade. This is the form she takes.

Lady Kanade: this is the form my soul was transferred to after I had thrown myself into the cauldron of Resonance to help save the young half demon children.

Hades: I see. A great sacrifice you made...

Nico: so she died doesn't that mean she is now in your territory to a degree? (meaning since she is dead doesn't that make her one of your subjects.)

Lady Kanade: (looks at Nico) there is not enough of me left for me to be any possession of your father's (is speaking to Nico)

(her light begins to flicker like a flame that is dying and will not last much longer)

Hades: Rest in peace, my fair lady.

Lady Kanade: that is a very kind wish from you sir. (finally her light fades entirely)

Zeus: she was a brave woman who did much to protect our children. I am glad to have at least gotten the chance to meet her.

Artemis: Quite glad.

Hermes: yes though I am filled with Sadness to have witnessed her end. (meaning the fact of how she had faded from existence.)

(soon the time for sleep comes and everyone heads off to bed. while Apollo goes to check on Yuka's mother who is still fighting for her life.)

Apollo: *walking in* how are you?

Yuka's mother: I am doing as well as can be expected. (smiles) (meaning as well as can be expected due to what her husband had done to her)

Will: (is with his father helping to tend Yuka's mother) Dad her wounds are healing well. my guess is that within at least a day or two she will be able to get up and walk around.

Apollo: Good, glad to hear it.

(as the second of July passes and the third actually dawns which would be the eve of Kagome's and Inuyasha's wedding (meaning it is the very day before the wedding)

Inuyasha: (gets up early preparing himself for just another normal day like any other)

Yuka's father: (who had yet to go back to Japan passes by the so called boarding school one more time still suspecting that Yuka might be hanging around the school wishing that she could attend) Yuka where are you? you little twerp.

Yuka: (is sitting talking with Artemis completely oblivious to her father calling for her)

Artemis: *sees him* Can't that man leave you alone?

Yuka: (looks first towards her father then back at Artemis and hangs her head) I should have known better that there was never any real hope of me and my mom escaping him. (you can tell she is very despondent)

Artemis: He'll leave, he can't see you. He's letting everyone know what his real intentions with you are, anyway.

Yuka's father: (looks towards Dionysus) You I demand you let me in to search for my wife and Child at once you obese slob.

(obese being one of the only "big" words Yuka's father knows)

I know they are there one of my friends (who also was a gang member) Said he saw my daughter come here with my wife I will find then their lives will be over!

Dionysus: I'm afraid that I cannot do that. You are threatening lives, and I won't allow it. Do yourself a favor and turn around, or I will have you removed the hard way.

Yuka's father: Of What Concern is my daughter's life to you or my wife's life for that matter?

Dionysus: Any life is my concern, if it is threatened. I will not have this at my establishment. Killing them would get you nowhere. You've become so set on ending their lives, you've probably no idea what to do with your own. Go and create a life for yourself, preferably in an asylum, and leave us alone.

Hera: (comes out of the Infirmary where she and Zeus had been visiting Cindy both she and he know the fact that Cindy is their daughter who had been kidnapped so long ago though it will take some time for the other gods to see it but comes out herself now furious that this man dare to abuse not only her daughter Cindy who was the only other girl she and Zeus had born together but her granddaughter and she means to see justice) Dionysus let me deal with this man. go and gather the other gods and goddesses and let them know Zeus and I will have news to give them when I am through doing what I must do.

Yuka's father: (looks at Hera) Oh big scary woman thinks she can take on the gang member?

Hera: (begins a Deadly calm stride towards the border of the camp)(as she arrives in front of Yuka's father she looks at him in the eyes her gaze cold and icy) You listen here you despicable man you were a disgrace as a father and as a husband and had created one of the most imperfect families I have ever had the displeasure of seeing in all my born days. you are lucky I am going to let you live after what you have done. how ever I will not permit you to keep making Cindy and Yuka's lives miserable. I have seldom had to do this but as the goddess of Marriage I release Cindy from you. and even if you had been a good father and husband the time has come for Cindy to return to her true family where she belongs.

Yuka's father: ( Looks at Hera and there is murder in his eyes) You don't have the right to tell me I was a bad parent or a bad husband nor do you have the ability to release them from me you dumb broad.

Hera: Oh, I think I do. The embodiment of marriage has the power to throw you from the vow itself, and I have chosen to.

Yuka's father: you don't even know if Cindy wants to be free.

(is still looking murderously at Hera)

Hera: You don't have to ask her. She's told us she's tried to escape your murdering hands, to no avail. And now you have no ties to her. There is nothing left for you here.

Yuka's father: Alright you have severed my ties with Cindy but that still leaves my baby girl Yuka. without my genetics she would not even be here. I demand that my daughter at least be returned to me. and what do you mean it is time for Cindy to return to her true family? Do you even pretend that Cindy's mother and father are still alive. when even I know they died along time ago.

Hera: Dead? Do you think the woman before you is dead?

Yuka's father: (laughs) you are saying you are Cindy's mother? then who was her father dare I ask? was it the obese man that had been talking to me earlier? but I still demand that you return my daughter Yuka to me.

Hera: My husband is her father! And your daughter is under Cindy's full custody.

Yuka's Father: (tries to punch Hera)

Yuka: (looks at Hera and her father) what is she thinking my dad is going to pulverize her. (covers her eyes is now absolutely terrified)

Artemis: Your dad can't hurt a goddess, Yuka. She'll be fine.

Yuka's father: (feels his fist connect with what he suspects is Hera's face) that should teach you to act high and mighty with me.

Hera: *laughs* Think again.

Yuka's father: Yeah? why is that?

Hera: You didn't connect with your target.

Yuka's father: how is that possible? (is looking at where he had punched and is now confused to not see Hera there anymore)

Hera: A barrier. And you cannot pass.

Yuka's father: you have beaten me back but not for long I may not be married to Cindy any more nor have Custody of my daughter Yuka but I know you can't keep them for long. Eventually they will have to leave the safety of this school and then I will swoop down like a hawk and they will meet their ends. (with that parting shot heads back to Japan)

Dionysus: (finally reaches Artemis Cabin having called the other gods and goddesses to the meeting in the big house) Artemis I am afraid for now you will have to leave Yuka in the care of Thalia while you attend Zeus and Hera's big meeting in the big house it seems they have big news for us.

Artemis: Yes. *turns to them* I'll be back soon. *leaves*

Hera: (soon enters the big house seeing Zeus and all the other gods and goddesses gathered) Alright well as I am sure most of you remember it was not to awfully long ago as we would know it in in fact only a couple months into 1974 a little baby girl was born to Zeus and I. and about a couple of days after her birth the child was stolen from all of us.

Zeus: Yes, I remember. What happened, do you know?

Hera: I do but first I have a question for Artemis (knows that Artemis will be able to piece the puzzle together once she answers this question) when the child was born I gave you the honor of giving your half sister a name do you remember the name you selected Artemis?

Artemis: Cynthia.

Hera: yes which to keep us from being able to find her the kidnappers shortened to Cindy.

Zeus: Cindy! Our daughter is staying here?

Hera: yes our daughter is the woman currently in the Infirmary recovering from the wounds she suffered from the man that just left here.

Apollo: it will be a cold day in Hades Cindy or I should say Cynthia leaves us again.

Zeus: Quite. Not that we haven't been protecting her, but now we have more of a reason to.

Hera: and Yuka is our grandchild and has been staying if I am not mistaken with her Aunt Artemis. and while we will have to run it past our daughter first once she is fully recovered I would like to see Yuka placed in Artemis' tender care and to grant Artemis permission to do with Yuka as she pleases as long as what she chooses to do with her will by no means harm her.

Artemis: I'd never harm her!

Apollo: Sis, Hera isn't suggesting that you would that was sort of a disclaimer type thing.

Athena: but there is only one problem with that. wasn't Cynthia born a baby goddess where as Cindy appears to be mortal

Hera: ah now you come to a point I had yet to make. what the kidnappers didn't know was that by stealing an immortal baby who I am sure didn't want to go with those mean people would causethe child to lose her immortality until she was fully reunited with us on our home. this autumn I believe when we return home I am certain Cindy will regain what she lost those 36 years ago.

Apollo: yeah I remember that cruel theft when we found out about it I can say My baby sister Artemis was extremely distraught she gave new meaning to the expression blue moon. She and her hunters searched and scoured the planet for twenty-nine years.

Artemis: Yes, I was quite upset.

Zeus: as were we all I was more furious than when my Master bolt was stolen if that is even possible.

Hades: I know how you feel my brother but to put your mind at rest the kidnappers have already paid they died shortly before Yuka was born and they are now facing their punishments. so justice has been served and you know have your daughter back.

Zeus: Yes, fortunately.

Hera: yes fortunately we have Cynthia back and with her, her own daughter who shall still remain with Artemis until we know for certain what Cindy believes would be in the best interests of her child but more than likely she will agree that we should give Artemis full say over Yuka. but we should still wait. to grant that power for now.

Artemis: Of course.

Hera: one thing Cindy is beginning to regain already is her memory of who she really is. (had been called mom by Cindy while she had been in the Infirmary checking up on her)

but I think now we can call this meeting Adjourned. (smiles brightly)

(meanwhile back at the Artemis cabin)

Yuka: (looks at Thalia) why do I get the feeling I met Artemis once before. during one of the times mom and I had tried to escape my dad. (is beginning to remember something from her childhood)

Thalia: I don't know, I wasn't with her when she would have seen you... what do you remember?

Yuka: I was about seven years old going on eight and it was one of the first times we tried to escape my father we ran as far away as a Japanese National reserve mom and sheltered ourselves under a large cluster of trees the night was nice out and just a few minutes before we prepared ourselves to sleep. I heard a noise that put me sharply on my guard I guess you could say it frightened me badly I crept as quietly to where I could see anyone or anything that came near the spot but I could not be seen myself and I saw two girls one bore a sharp resemblance to Artemis and the other girl looked slightly older and intimidating and spoke using words that sounded old fashioned. (had heard the two speaking to each other) I didn't know who they were or what they were after but I got a slight feeling that they were searching for either mom, or me or both and got the feeling that it might not be good if they found us. I assumed the two girls were members of a female gang that my father had friends in. and so I crept as quietly as I could back to mom and left the clearing we had planned to sleep in and headed off further into the woods hoping that we wouldn't be followed.

but I guess mom and I weren't as silent as we could have been because it wasn't long before we heard the sound of pursuit and no matter how far we went or how fast we ran it didn't seem like we were going to end up losing them. so in the next clearing we came to I picked up a Stone and prepared to throw it at our supposed attackers.

the first one to walk into the clearing was the tall intimidating girl who seemed to have her hair braided. and I threw the stone I was holding at her as hard as I could.

Thalia: You threw a rock at Zoe?

Yuka: Zoe?

Thalia: I'm assuming Zoe was the Huntress that went along with Artemis. Your description sounds about right.

Yuka: well I was defending myself and my mom. what would you have done in my place. I thought she might have been a member of one of the female gangs that often would help in tracking mom and me and so rather than be caught I did what I had to do to protect mom and me. Though she tried to calm me down I think all the while dodging the rocks I was throwing but I was too afraid to remember exactly what she said and I doubt I was able to understand most of it due to the fact that to my ears it sounded like she was using a very old form of English. if it was English at all.

(flashback begins)

( Cindy and Yuka upon reaching one of Japans national reserves find shelter under a small cluster of trees and are soon resting though not yet preparing for sleep)

Yuka: (who is Seven at the time) (hears a sound as if someone or something was coming towards their small sheltering place and so quietly creeps over to where she can see what is coming or who is coming but is still somewhat concealed herself)

(soon sees what appears to be a young girl only five years older than herself and a girl much older and taller with her hair braided)

(sits there watching the two for awhile till she hears the two speak to each other)

Artemis: Zoe keep your eyes open who knows what we might find here. (is hoping to find some clue to give her hope that she will one day find her sister Cynthia again)

Zoe: I'm keeping an eye out, hopefully it will be something we're looking for.

Artemis: I hope so.

Yuka: (pulls back trying to be quiet but can't help every now and bumping into a bush causing it to rustle or stepping on a twig causing it to snap but keeps moving back to where her mother is)

(when she tells her mother what she suspects the two decide to leave the current spot and try to find a better place to rest and soon they are on the move further into the forest)

Artemis: (looks up) Zoe did you hear that noise? let's follow that sound.

(leads Zoe in the direction of the noise she had heard and keeps following the sound of feet retreating feet)

Yuka: (as she realizes they are not likely to lose their pursuers with out a fight stops in the clearing and picks up a small stone preparing for a fight of her young life)

(soon sees the Tall scary looking girl with braided hair coming out of the woods and Chucks the Stone as hard as she could in the girl's direction)

Go Tell my Dad your boss that mom and I are never going back to him. and if he wants us back he will have to send someone to drag our corpses back to him.

(sends another stone flying at Zoe)

Zoe: Who are you? I don't work for your father!

Yuka: (tosses another stone) my name is Yuka but I know you are lying all gang member male and female alike work for him. mostly to try to track mom and me down when we run way.

Zoe: I don't belong to a gang, Yuka. I didn't even know you existed before now.

Yuka: (looks at her confused her arm poised to throw another rock) then what is the name of everything were you doing stalking my mom and me?

Zoe: No, we're searching the area.

Yuka: For what may I ask? if you weren't looking for my mom and me then what were you looking for miss...

Zoe: Any clue to find Lady Artemis' sister.

Yuka: (drops the stone) well I wish you luck finding what you are looking for. miss... I am sorry I don't believe I caught your name.

Zoe: My name is Zoe Nightshade.

Cindy: (walks over to her daughter) Yuka it is time to keep moving the sooner we find a safe place to rest the better we will be when dawn comes. I am sorry for any damage my daughter may have done to you miss Nightshade but we are really afraid. my husband is not a nice man at all. so we are trying to escape him. you have no idea what we have been through.

Zoe: *nods* Do you want any help?

Cindy: (smiles gently) thank you for your concern but there isn't much you can do except pray that my daughter and I can fully escape my husband.

Zoe: I'm sure we can find you a place to go, if you like.

Cindy: you and your friend I am sure have worries that are bigger than the safety of my daughter and me. oh by the way my name is Cindy. but again thank you for your kind offer. (smiles and soon takes Yuka by the hand and begins walking way)

(end flashback)

Yuka: That was the weirdest thing after I actually had calmed down mom actually started talking to the girl as if she was familiar with her and then as we left mom introduced herself to the tall girl and I have to admit I think mom had taken a really big risk that day.

Thalia: She really was, but at least she was safe.

Artemis: (has returned to the cabin) Well I am back Thalia it turns out that Yuka and her mother belong with us. her mother is the second Daughter of Zeus and Hera.

Yuka: (looks at Artemis confused)what do you mean?

Artemis: Cindy's the daughter of Zeus and Hera. She was kidnapped at birth, and her powers were therefore hidden.

Yuka: you are telling me that my mom is the daughter of two of the most powerful Greek gods ever known? you have got to be pulling my leg. (looks at Thalia) She is kidding right?

Thalia: *shakes her head* I don't think she is. She wouldn't joke around with something like this.

Artemis: No Thalia you are right about that. this is very Serious and very Joyous Cindy is my half sister her real name is Cynthia but the people who kidnapped her shortened it to Cindy. I had been searching for her for many years. and only now do I get reunited with her. But better late than never I guess and Yuka is my niece.

Yuka: (who is listening to all this soon faints)

Thalia: *Catches her and takes her to the infirmary to lie down*

Will: let me guess when Artemis told Yuka it turned out to be a little overwhelming?

Thalia: Yeah...

Will: yeah I suspected as much Cindy told me that it would probably turn out to be a little surprising for Yuka ( Cindy has regained much of her memories)

Thalia: Well, at least we've got a place to let her rest until she rejoins us...

Will: yeah (smiles) well I for one am glad to know that both of them are safe now. I can only imagine how scary their lives must have been.

Thalia: I might have a bit of an idea, but then again, I was never chased by my father.

Will: yeah you were also never beaten by your father.

Thalia: Nope...

Will: well they will not have to worry about that anymore. (had been told by his father about what Hera had done) Hera Nullified the marriage between Cindy and the man who was Yuka's father giving full Custody to Cindy.

Apollo: yeah though I think Hera was to lenient on that man but I suppose fairness is part of her personality as well.

Thalia: Yes. I don't think that he's really that much of a threat now anyway.

Apollo: no especially not with Artemis Guarding Yuka as if she was her own child. I can only wonder what Zoe Nightshade would have thought if she had met Yuka.

Thalia: She did, and I think Zoe would have grown fond of her if they'd had more time.

Yuka: ( regains consciousness having heard the conversation) yeah I met the girl but our encounter was not a pleasant one considering I was a seven year old throwing stones at a girl who was twice my age and more much taller than me.

Thalia: But I think that she would have really liked you, had you had more time.

Yuka: (looks at Thalia confused)

Thalia: Zoe was Artemis' lieutenant before me, that's how I know her. I think that you two would have gotten along.

Yuka: some how I doubt that we would have. as you know yourself I don't normally or even easily open up to people. why do you think my group of friends only contains a few people.

Thalia: That doesn't mean you won't get along with people. You don't have to completely open up to be able to get along.

Apollo: that is very true I get along with people that I don't fully open up to. (smiles at Thalia) I feel a Haiku coming on.

Family that had been separated for many years reunite only to have more joy for where there was only one lost there are now two found Sorrow existed for many nights but now Joy comes on the wings of the dawn.

Thalia: Apollo, I really think you should just stay away from poetry. That's not even the rules of a Haiku...

Apollo: Come on Thalia I at least tried to make one that would express the joy that we all feel having Yuka and her mother back where they belong.

Yuka: I am still having a hard time believing that my mom is the Daughter of two of the most powerful of the Greek gods. it strikes me as almost unfathomable.

Will: The feeling wears off after a little while, it's alright.

Apollo: look at it this way you have the most famous grandparents History has ever known. (is trying to help but doesn't realize that is not very helpful)

Yuka: (looks from Thalia to Will and then finally at Apollo) and that is suppose to make me feel better how?

Thalia: I don't know. C'mon, Apollo, we're trying to make her feel normal again, that wasn't really helping.

Will: (looks at Yuka) well you can be thankful that none of this will ever be known by your classmates back in Japan.

Yuka: (is very glad for that) yeah that is a good thing if this ever reached the high school in Japan it would give my classmate license to mock me for the rest of my natural life.

Thalia: They can't know, it's part of the secrecy. You know the names of many demigods, you just never knew they were demigods.

Apollo: very true thalia but we don't even know if Yuka will ever see Japan again. since the custody of her has been granted to her mother.

Yuka: Custody of me? when did my parents get divorced?

Apollo: Earlier today Hera Nullified their marriage freeing you and your mother from that man for the rest of your lives.

Hera: (walks in and goes to sit next to her daughter) Apollo what is going on?

Apollo: Just catching Yuka up on things.

Hera: Ah so my grandchild now knows that she and her mother are safe and that none of us will allow harm to befall them ever again. If ever my daughter gets married again I will have Aphrodite select a husband for her from among some of the few unmarried gods. but though Cindy has full custody of Yuka I came here to discuss with Cindy about possibly placing Yuka Solely in Artemis' care. Letting Artemis have full say over what becomes of Yuka.

Yuka: uh how about letting me decide what becomes of my life?

Cindy: (looks over at her daughter) Your grandmother is right Yuka. Artemis would be a very safe guardian for you and she is your aunt. (then looks over at her mother) mom I do worry about my child. do you really believe Yuka will be happy with her Aunt Artemis?

Hera: I do think she would be safe and happy.

Cindy: Then I trust your judgment if you say my daughter will be safe and Happy with her aunt Artemis I say I trust that. So let Artemis know that what ever she decides is in the best interest for my child is alright by me.

Hera: (smiles) alright now I want you to rest and get well my daughter I will let Artemis know.

(heads out and walks over to Artemis' Cabin)

Artemis?

Artemis: Yes?

Hera: I have been speaking with Cindy and she said that Yuka is now in your full out care whatever you decide would be in Yuka's best interest if alright by her and she will let you decide what to do with Yuka.

Artemis: I'll accept it, if Cindy is ready to let go... I don't want to take her daughter from her...

Hera: Cindy wants her daughter to be safe and Happy once all of us return to Olympus Cindy will regain all she lost those years ago.(meaning her Immortality that she had been born with)

Your sister is no where near letting go of life if that is what you meant. her wounds were not that serious.

Artemis: No, I meant relinquishing her daughter. I guess, in that case, yes, I'll take care of Yuka.

Hera: (Smiles at Artemis) I trust you to take good care of my grandchild and Cindy trusts you as well. it is best if Yuka is in your care than who Dionysus was thinking of letting be Yuka's Guardian.

Artemis: Who was Dionysus thinking of?

Hera: your brother Apollo.

Artemis: She's much better off with me.
