"This is it, the time where our hero is claimed. How, you may ask, will he be claimed? If you all payed any attention to the way the plot is going..."
"Kyuubi what are you going on about?"
"Naruto stop twitching, I need you to hold still."
"...You will notice that I, the author of this amazing (or pathetic human's) story, had been giving you a lack of information. In chapter one I have stated that three goddesses all have plans for the naked ape..."
"I will turn you into a rug Kyuubi. YEA HEAR ME A RUG!"
"Naruto Jackson! If you don't hold still and stay quite until I am done I will make sure that there will be no more cookies for you until the summer's end!"
"...But I have never the once stated that they knew of each others plans for their said son. In any case they will soon know as Naruto will face the perils of being wooed by the opposite sex. His mortal enemy, so seeks to claim him as her own, shall enact her plans to enslave the poor innocence... What's the male version of a maiden anyway? Still a maiden or just a idiot that does know what his tool is used for? In any case, be prepared for the next chapter of Naruto son of the Queens. (This story is fiction and events in said story must not be attempted in real life as none of you have any sort of mythical powers or beings to save you.

So sit back, turn down the lights, and start reading."
'I wish I knew who he was talking to. There's nobody else here other then me and Liz. And whats this about three goddesses anyway? Dang blasted shish kabob fairies, I want to know more...' "I AM NOT A MAIDEN! Do I look like a girl to you!?"
"Also, will Naruto be able to survive Artemis's cooking? See in a future chapter that shall not be given to make you all suffer. For I am the almighty Kyuubi, with a single swipe of my tails... Oh, wait, the story has started. Just when I was doing my monologue too."
"NARUTO! I said be still! When I am done I am telling Chiron so that there are no more cookies for you!"
"But but-"
"No buts mr."
"...I hate you Kyuui."
"I will enjoy the cookies that you will be unable to eat Naruto." TTTHPP
"Liz, If I behave can I earn my cookies back and a favor?"
"Yes, but what is the favor?"
"Can you get me a flamethrower?"
Sweat-drop. "No."
"Kit, the Bambi eyes won't work on her. Now if you don't mine, I'm going to fast forward so that you can get to the good part"
"Huh? what do you mean-zzzzzzzzz"
Naruto lied on the sand happily eating his hot dog. His friend Kyuubi was next to him, eating the remains of his fourth seagull and tuna sandwich. All around them, campers were enjoying the lunch on the beach. Zeus and Posiden were letting the camp have a wonderful time. Apollo's chariot rays of light poured down onto the campers. Naruto made no comment as one of the god's daughters gave the sun a glare. Why? Because several of the oldest girl campers seemed to have a lot of attention from the sun today.
"Aah, this is the life. No monsters, lots of girls in sexy swimwear, good food and drink, this a fine day at the beach." Said a son of Hermes as he looked at the girls playing volley ball. He yipped as his girl friend pressed the point of her spear near his lower legs. "...What I meant to say is that I am lucky to have such a beauty to myself and I should only have my eyes to her?"
"Your lucky your cute. Now get me a hamburger or else I my remember what you just said." The girl said as she pressed her weapon against the boy's groin before taking it off. "Now get going."
"Yes..."
Naruto watched as the older boy got up and did what was asked of him by the girl. "You know Kyuubi, I don't understand what is up with the guys and gals when they act that way as they get older. I mean, why can't she get up and do it herself?"
"Shh, I'm resting here brat. You will understand when you get to your teens and out of your innocence stage of life. For now, reap the rewards of being young."
Naruto frowned and looked at his friend. "For a so called super powered fox you are super lazy. Why wont you tell me?"
"And ruin the surprise that will greet you?" 'Well, if I tell him a bit, it would possibly make it harder for that girl to enslave him. Or it could backfire. Then again, this is Naruto Jackson I am talking about.'
"... I want to know..."
"Know what Naru~?" Naruto turned his head around and up to look into the shining golden-brown eyes of McKenzie. Her deep raven locks tumbled down her back and side of her head with a memorizing pattern. Her lips curled into a sweet smile as she looked Naruto over. Her hand raised up and moved some of her hair behind her ear and she leaned forward towards Naruto. "You can ask me if you want. I don't think Kyuubi is interested to tell you the answers that you seek."
Kyuubi's eyes narrowed at the girl as Naruto repeated his question and Kyuubi's answer to her. She raised a manicured finger nail to her chin and gave Naruto a look. "Kyuubi's right Naruto about you being to young. However, I could tell you at a latter date if you want. Is that ok with you?"
"Pinky promise?" Naruto asked, his face covered by her shadow.
"I promise." She raised her other hand and connected her pinky with Naruto's. Giving Naruto a wink she asked, "Can you help me with something?"
"Sure, what is it?"
"I need someone to put sun screen on my back. Can you help?"
Naruto nodded and McKenzie smiled. "Takes Naruto. Give me a moment to grab my towel and the sun screen, 'k."
"Kit, be careful of her."
"Why Kyuubi? She's nice, even if her father is Than..an.. death."
Kybuubi slapped it's face with one of it's tails and groaned. "That's not it brat. The group that she's apart of, I think, no... I know, that they are a part of something. Something big is going to happen Naruto, and you need to keep your guard up."
Before Kyuubi could continue, McKenzie returned with the items in hand. Putting down her towel, she handed Naruto the sun screen and lied down on her towel. "Make sure you get everywhere Naru~ I don't want a sun burn today thank you."
"For all you readers out there I am afraid that I, Kyuubi, will leave what happens left to your imagination-"
"Ooooh~ Naruto harder! It feels so good!"
"Oh McKewnzie whats going on- Oh! Naruto's giving you a back rub and doing you sunscreen? Naruto, if it's ok with you can you do mine as well?"
"Mine too!"
"Me next!"
"... I have nothing to say. Nothing. Onward author, get us to the Friday so that he shall be claimed!"
Friday.
Capture the flag. Usually the air was full of excitement for the game, but there was tension in the air. The deadline for the quest was only a few days away and the people on the quest had gone missing. Many of Naruto's brother's opponents and others said that he must of ran away. Naruto didn't believe that. Percy was his brother and the older one. His adopted mother said to Percy many times when she thought Naruto wasn't listening that it was the elder siblings that took care of the younger ones. She did tell Naruto that the younger siblings listened to his elder sibling, but also to be his own person while not trying to give Percy gray hairs.
Naruto made sure after that to give his brother heck after that. In a friendly brotherly manner that is.
In any case, tonight's game was the Hermes cabin (Red )Vs Athena cabin (Blue). Luke had made alliances with Ares, Demeter and Apollo cabins. Athena had gotten the rest. Liz was the substitute head of the cabin as her sister was on the quest and had shown that she was a daughter of the war goddess of strategy by getting the daughters of the love goddess to play seriously in tonight's match. Something that had gotten the envy of many of the campers as the cabin of the love goddess usually sat out during the games unless against the hunters of Artemis.
'Side note, tell Artemis that she should probably change her name if the hunt comes as I am unsure what the goddess Artemis will think of a demigod having her name.' Naruto thought as he put on his colors and armor. He shuttered as the females on the other team gave him a look that sent him into fight or flight mode, as Chiron described it. The girls that he helped at the beach also had pink to their cheeks and only increased as Naruto asked if they were OK.
The guys were either amused by this or upset much to Naruto confusion. He chalked it up as something that older kids cared about and something he would learn when he got older.
"OK, listen up. Here's the deal. Liz is the enemy leader in this and knows how all the cabins work together the best. If we are to win, we will need to hit hard, fast, and silent. Ares and Apollo cabins! Make teams of four with two members each in each squad. The left overs will be the outer guards for the flag. The Scrolls and Demeter cabin will line the border with traps or poison ivy. I want the opposing team to come at us from head on fresh or tired and not thinking straight if from the sides. Hermes cabin will be here, between our flag and the border. Their job is to be the force that Liz thinks is going to invade her territory." Luke said as he gave the team's strategy.
"But Luke," An Are's camper spoke, "Who's going to get the flag?"
"Simple. We need someone small, light on their feet, and can blend in." As one, the campers eyes turned towards Naruto, who was in the middle of yet another fight with his stuffed fox. Luke sweat dropped at the scene and the members of the blue team, minus Naruto, gave Luke a look that screamed, "Really?"
Clearing his throat, Luke got Naruto's attention. "OK kid, here's your part..."
...
An Athena camper walked along the border of the creek, bored. He was near tired and annoyed as he rather be part of the counter force that his sister made. If he was paying any attention to his surroundings, the camper would have noticed the ripples coming from the creek. Alas, he did not notice as he was too deep in his thoughts. Waling towards the water he looked around. Seeing nothing, he turned to start the other way. Before he could react, a hand covered his face and he and his assailant fell back into the creek without a sound.
After several minutes passed, Naruto rose out of the water and high tailed it up a tree. The Athena camper was knocked out, tied up on the bottom of the creek bed with the nymph that called the creek home guarding him. It was a nice trade; she guards the camper while Naruto promised to brush her hair sometime after the game. His eyes narrowed as he raced across the tree tops with Kyuubi leading the way, as the fox had better night vision.
"Wait." Naruto and Kyuubi stopped as a patrol of campers sent by under them. "Three campers. All sons of Aphrodite. Take out the rear member first and I will take the leading one. Leave the middle one for last."
Kyuubi raced down in silence stalked towards the front of the patrol. Naruto took out a buggy cord and wrapped it around his legs and a strong tree branch. After waiting a few long seconds, Kyuubi gave the signal. Naruto dropped and wrapped his arms around the the camper he targeted, knocking him out in the process. The cord pull him and the camper up fast and quietly. The other campers noticed when they didn't hear their brothers foot falls.
As soon as the duo turned around, Kyuubi jumped and in one swift move, knocked out the leader. Using the force and angle of the blow, both the camper and Kyuubi rolled into the under bush.
The last son of Aphrodite became very uneasy and confused. He had just lost his brothers in a manner that terrified him. Before he could call out an alarm, a pair of hands reached out from below him from the earth and pulled him down. A blur of orange was all he could see before he was knocked out.
"That was too close Kyuubi. If it wasn't for all those book on ninja and call of duty I think that this would be harder." Naruto hissed to his friend as they went back into the trees, heading for the flag.
"That is why we need to move brat. The flag is close, however I smell several traps and several hidden guards. Let's swing to the left and come around from behind so that as soon as you grab the flag it will be a straight line back to the border."
"Ok."
...
Luke bit back a swear as the blue team's forces pushed deeper into the reds territory. Liz really was showing her stuff as she had forced her way around the cornered of the border and assaulted the red team in compete and utter vengeance. 'I knew that she was good, but this is crazy,' He thought as he deflected a spear thrust with his sword. Liz was holding onto the red teams flag and was being protected by her team by being in the center with layers of her teammates surrounding her.
The fighting was heavy as the red team tired to get back the flag or delay the movement of the enemy. However, Luke wasn't worried... Ok, he was worried that his plan was in tatters. He had sent Naruto alone into the enemy territory on a hunch and he had no idea the status of the kid.
"AAAAAAAAAH!"
As one, every eye turned and widened towards the source of the sound. There was Naruto, holding the flag screaming as the blue team flag guards chased him. Naruto raced across the border, flag in hand as no one could understand what just happened.
"Red team wins!" Chiron declared as he blew his horn. He was amused and interested on how the blue team lost this time. 'It will a good story I hope.'
The Red team was too tired to cheer and Liz was trying to keep from laughing. "Ok guys we lost." She told her team in good nature. Her brothers and sisters looked at her if she was crazy. After all the hard work and build up, stopped by a young brat that had gotten the flag?
It was then that it was if lighting struck the campers and Chiron. As one they looked at the flag and Naruto.
"What?"
A light appeared over Naruto's head. As one, everyone waited to see who Naruto's godly parent was. Every jaw dropped and Chiron was barely able to get out the words.
"All hail Naruto... Son of Hera, Persephone, and Amphitrite. Hail the son of the Queens."
That is it folks. I got bored and chose to give you this chapter extra long. As you all will have questions, review so I can answer them please. I will be taking a break from this as I want to work on another story. Any way, enjoy and review.
