Here you all go. A new chapter after several months.

Enjoy the long chapter everyone

"Sally! It's been too long." Sally Jackson felt herself be engulfed by a hug from her brother as soon as she opened the door. Max grinned as he released his sister. "How have you been sis? The boys giving you any trouble lately?"

Sally gave her elder brother a lopsided grin. "I've been good Max. The boys have been... interesting as of late. They spend last summer at a Greek mythology camp ran by Perry's Latin teacher Mr. Brunner. I think they got a little into it as they came home more rambunctious then normal."

Max's grin if anything grew wider. "That's good to hear Sal, I'll have to have Percy and Naruto tell me all about it then."

"Don't call me that." Sally playfully slapped her brother's chest. "Where's your daughter?"

"She's finishing a phone call with one of her clients daughter's. Some girl named Piper or something. She was a great influence on the girl and her father has Sara babysit or come over to help out his daughter every once in a while. She's a sweet kid from what I heard from my daughter." Max frowned for a second and started to talk in a whisper to Sally. "But I'm worried for her, Sally. I hoping that spending time with her cousin and adopted cousin will help her. Thanks for taking your time to help out."

"Of course," Sally moved her hair out of her face. "You know that I will help out the best I can."

"I will hold you too it sis." Max looked over his sisters shoulder. "Is that who I think it is? Come here and give your uncle a hug Naruto!"

"Uncle Max!" Naruto ran and jumped into his uncle's arms. His stuffed animal in Naruto's hands as he gave his adopted uncle a hug. Snuggling his face into his uncles chest he's muffled voice was almost unheard, "I missed you."

"Missed you too sport. Hello to you too Kyuubi, have you been terrorizing the pigeons again?"

Naruto looked at his uncle aghast. "Kyuubi doesn't terrorize pigeons, he strikes fear in the hearts of ninja's and his enemies. He is the most powerful bijuu there is!"

Max nodded his head. "Of course he is. I see the killer eye he holds, but if strikes fear in ninja why aren't you afraid Naruto?" Naruto puff up his chest and Sally snickered into her hand as Naruto proudly proclaimed that he was his friend and he wasn't scared of him. The sound of steps came from the hallway and Max turned his head, to see his daughter. "There you Sara, come say hello to your aunt and Naruto."

Naruto started to shake in fear as Sara came thought the doorway. "Aunt Sally, it is good to see you once again." Came the silky voice of Sara as she gave her aunt a curtsy and handshake.

"And you too Sara. I love that outfit you are wearing, you must tell me where you got it. Please model it for me dear." Sara smiled as did so, showing off her outfit. It was a soft green shirt with a darker green jacket. She also was wearing a dark almost black purple leggings and a flower pattern skirt. Her shoes were a nice softer color to match her shirt and leggings. "It's fabulous! I must get one for myself."

"I'm afraid it's one of a kind right now, but it is going into the market soon. I'll see if I can't get you one for free for my wonderful aunt. Think of it as an early present from your niece." Turning her head she spotted Naruto. "Aww, Naruto you've grown so much. Come here and give your cousin a hug."

Naruto backed away from his cousin and looked at his mother in fear. Why didn't she see that Sara was a dangerous person anyway? But no, all his mother way was a young becoming woman with a career in modeling. But he knew the truth, that under that pretty girl face and polite mannered charm was a monster that was waiting to strike. One that relished the chance to making him feel pain from it.

But his mother didn't know. "Naruto, give your cousin a hug, she's missed you."

Naruto opened his mouth then closed it. He slowly and hesitantly approached his nemesis from the black lagoon. As slowly came to his cousin he looked her over to see if she was hiding something. Having enough of his shyness, Sara pulled him into a hug. "Naruto! Oh I missed you," she exclaimed as she hugged him, completely ignoring the sound of breaking bones as she tightened her grip on her favorite cousin. Looking down at him as his face was pressed in her cleavage she gave him a soft smile.

Naruto tried not to cry out in pain as Sara slowly crushed him. His feet dangled as Sara was a lot taller then him and he was afraid what would happen if she notice where his face was. "I...missed...you...too...Can't...breathe..."

"Oops." Sara released Naruto and rubbed the back of her head. "Sorry Naruto, guess I was a little excited to see you. How has my favorite cousin been?"

"I've been good Sara," Naruto said as he gulped down air. What was with girls and squeezing him anyway? "How's your... classes going?"

"They've been well. A bit boring at times but I past them, I have an image to keep you know." She flicked her pony tail off so it fell freely down her back. "But I stayed top of my division this year again so that's good.

Naruto nodded his head slowly. "So what did you learn this year?"

Sara gave him a wicked grin. Leaning over so that her lips were almost brushing his ear she whispered, "I'll show you personally in the ring twerp. You should of kissed me by hand and showed me the manners of a gentleman to a lady like me. Looks like I have to beat that lesson in again brat. I'll consider going easy on you if you remember the other lessons and manners I have beaten into your pathetic little ass."

Naruto looked to see if his mother was listening, but she and Max had moved to the living room and couldn't hear Sara and him talking.

"Look at me when I'm talking to you. After the last time I was here I would think you would know better. I need a sparing partner and you will say?"

"Yes lady Sara." Naruto spoke with a hint of defiance. Sara rolled her eyes and licked her lips as she studied her adopted cousin. Naruto hid a shuddered as his adopted cousin's eyes roamed over his body, feeling dirty even after taking a bath.

"Your tone could use some work but I'll leave it to being in fear of being noticed in my space." A finger tilted his head upwards and she gave him a soft kiss. "Your one of the few males that I consider worthy Naruto, even if your a brat and a twerp. In a few more years perhaps... Well, I'll make sure that you will never leave me."

Naruto stomach twisted and he shuddered.

"Now," Sara turned and headed to the living room, "Let us join up with our respected parents and see if I can't take you to the gym to practice. I want to keep in shape and your the only one around here that can keep up with me. The last wannabe man who tried blacked out after the third round and at least you can last till round ten. Hopefully one day you or someone else will push me to the limit."

As she walked away she grasped Naruto's stuff fox and looked at it. Throwing it to the ground she comments that he needs to grow up and steps on it as she walks away.

"Bummer Naruto," Kyuubi said without shame. He winced in pain as he felt his ribs heal. "I'll wish you luck but I want to avoid her for a bit."

"I understand Kyuubi," Naruto told his friend as the foxed slowly went to the bedroom. "Prepare plan number twelve in-case we need it."

The fox nodded and Naruto headed to the living room to join his family. 'I'm going to kill Percy when I see him next.'

Percy shivered in fear as he held a bag of ice between his legs as the door to the cabin was pounded on. Tyson was fast asleep, as the young cyclops discovered the wonders of cabin three's beds. For the past several hours the girls of camp half blood were out for his blood and his fellow male campers were either avoiding the girls or being forced to help the irradiated females beat him up. The sound of the fountain did little for his nerves as the pounding grew louder.

"Oh Percy~" The son of Posiden was not afraid to admit he whimpered as the sound of Annebeth's voice came though the door. "You can't stay in there forever you know. You will have to leave out sometime to eat. We promise that we will not not hurt you a little bit~"

"I'm not falling for that Annebth," Percy called from where he was on the bed. He shifted his weight on the bed and moved the ice around. "You and the rest of you will only hurt me a lot instead of a little bit."

The silence behind the door confirmed what he thought. 'After all, what kind of idiot would fall for that trick anyway?' He pondered as he tried to heal his body. All of a sudden for an instant he thought of perhaps another version of himself that raised his hand in the throne room of the gods with the gods and several demigods pointing at that version.

"... Either I'm crazy or just slightly out of it." Losing the idea of a dumber version, Percy started to think how he could get out of his more pressing issue. On how to get the females to stop wanting to beat him up. Growling, he flung his pillow to the floor. The sound that came from the floor gave him pause. Moving the pillow over he found that part of the floorboards had moved. Uncapping riptide, he slowly moved the board over to revel what was underneath.

"Thank you Tyche," He said with a grin as the light reviled what was stored underneath. 'Looks like the harpies didn't find them when they cleaned the cabins last summer. Only fixed the boards.'

...

"So do you have a plan Annebeth," asked a member of Demeter's cabin, "Because Lily's last plan sucked."

"How was I supposed to know that he knew to check if we were telling the truth about hurting him that way?" The daughter of Apollo snapped.

Annebeth studied the cabin, looking for some weakness to help them drive Percy from the cabin. While a demigod of an other god or not in favor could not enter another god's domain, physical objects could as the Stroll brothers and Naruto had shown many times when they went on a prank spree. But the windows and door were closed and if they broke them or the roof the sea god would notice and demand an answer to why they attacked his territory.

"I have nothing at this time. Anyone find anything that could be of help?" Asked the daughter of Athena as she rubbed her head. She and her sisters were having mixed feelings on the siege they were doing. On one hand it was a problem that was challenging and a new problem to figure out. Then it was the idea that this was the son of their mother's rival and the idea of him getting the better of them was an insult to their mother and a boon for his father. On the other he was blessed by her mother and she had no idea what Athena had granted him. Her mother barely ever blessed any children of her rival but the duo had blessed each other's sons and daughters before in the past.

Her brother Matthew studied over the building. "He has to come out sometime to eat and get water, so we can assume that he will be out within a day."

"If he doesn't have a stash hiding somewhere and if he doesn't resort to drinking toilet water," A daughter of one of the minor gods pointed out. "Plus why are we doing this anyway? This is stupid and we should be trying to help save the camp."

"Because he threw down a challenge to us females and we must fight." Connor mocked in a overly girly tone. Rubbing his head he flinched under the glares of the campers before him. "Can't we just settle this some other time?"

"Never!" Cried the voices of several females. Seeing that he was getting nowhere the son of Hermes left the area to go meet his brother. While he liked Percy and was a good friend of his brother, he was not going to stick his head out for the son of Posiden. At least not today.

Travis ran over to his brother. "So you got that feeling to?" Connor smirked and nodded. Two brothers cracked opened the cans of soda that Travis bartered for from one of their half siblings. Their prank sense was going haywire and it was centered around the events by cabin three.

"Toilet water again? Perhaps a mud bath?" Connor mused as he watched in anticipation.

Travis shook his head. "Naw, I say its going to be paint or slime."

"Ten drachmas that does something worthy of their wrath."

"Make it twenty and the bed for a week if your wrong. Then your on." Shaking hands the brothers waited.

They were not to be disappointed.

...

Percy sat on the floor concentrating as he slowly worked. He had to careful as a single mistake could be his undoing and the mockery of Annebeth and her siblings. Wetting his lips he worked, not noticing that Tyson had woken up and was watching him with interest. He had to get the formula just right or else ka-boom or some other effect could take place. After a tense minute he sighed in relief.

"What are you doing?" Percy jerked and fumbled what he had made. He barely grasped it before the contents in the object broke.

"Your awake," The demigod deadpanned at his brother. "How long have you been?"

"As soon as you were finishing whatever you were making. What is it anyway?" Tyson studied the cube that Percy held. It looked like an ordinary rubik's cube but the young monster could sense that it was not.

Percy held it up proudly. "This sir, is my ticket out of the cabin and the end of the siege that we are undergoing."

"A puzzle is going to free us?" Confused, Tyson wondered about Percy's mental state when the half blood started to crackle in glee.

"Ooooh yes, they cannot resist it if the right bait is used." Percy started to wake towards the door leading out of the cabin. He paused for a moment and looked at Tyson over his shoulder. "Best if you plugged your nose until we're a fair distance away from the cabin."

With a spring in his step Percy knew that he was playing a huge gamble with the fates, Tyche and Nemesis. But some things in life come from large risks. Upon reaching the door he steeled his nerves and prepared his words. He had once chance and if he was going out he was going out big.

"Hey Annebeth how about a bet?" he called out the door.

Her reply made his lip twitch. "What kind of bet seaweed brain?"

"I bet that you can't solve my rubik's cube in under a minute. If you can do so I'll surrender myself to you and the rest of you guys out there. If not, you all have to drop the subject about what happened before I came to camp."

Annebeth looked at her siblings and fellow females before answering. "Why should we take that bet Percy? After all, you have to leave sometime and there is more of us then you."

"Because Tyson thinks you can't. After all he is a master at solving them and you probably never solved on in your life. And I can solve it under a minute as well, so I guess we children of Posiden can do it better if he's right. But I want to make sure that it is true."

The daughter of wisdom bristled at that remark. How dare he say that his father's children were better then she and her siblings, the children of Athena. "I happen to one of the best here at the camp Percy. I bet you I can solve your cube in under forty seconds. And after I do you I'm going to make you prove your skill and eat your words."

"So you take the bet?" Percy was cheering in his mind. Pride and ego were two traits that cabin six had with anything that had to deal with knowledge or wisdom. He knew how to push their buttons as they could not accepted him, a child of Posiden, being better then them. Areas where his father had domain or influence didn't count.

"Of course I'll take the bet, if you swear that as soon as I solve the cube you will leave the cabin." Annebeth wasn't stupid, she knew that without his word Percy could be pulling her leg.

"I, Percy Jackson, swear on the river of Styx that if Annebeth and the rest of the campers that are outside my cabin waiting agree to the terms stated and swear as well I will exit the cabin if Annebeth solves the Rubik's cube in my hand. If she does not do so under a minute she and everyone else must drop the matter and not seek to continue it." Thunder boomed as soon as Percy stopped speaking.

The group of demigods looked at Annebeth and she nodded. "I, Annebeth swear by what Percy said."

The rest of group followed suit and Percy tossed the cube at Annebeth. The wisdom daughter looked at the cube and frowned. She had thought it was a thee by three cube, however in her hands was a five by five.

"Your minute starts...Now" Percy called out though his now closed cabin door. Annebeth hands flew as she solved the cube. So focused, she didn't notice the Stroll brothers making a bet by their cabin. Or that several other prankster kids had joined in. If she had she would of hesitated in solving the cube. But she didn't and she finished the cube in fifty-five seconds. Her siblings and the girl demigods smirked in victory.

"I finished Percy, come on out!"

Percy smiled and counted down as he reached for the door handle. 'Three... Two... One."

Boom

Opening the door he and Tyson almost started to laugh at the scene before them. There was Annebeth and the rest of the siege force, covered with slime and the odor of skunk spray. Tyson raced towards the tree line along with the satyrs who were nearby so that they could breathe. The Stroll brothers and the rest of the camp started to crack up as they saw what happened. Several of the girls shrieked, primary the ones from cabin ten, and raced away. But what sold the image was Annebeth and her siblings, who were closest to the blast. They were stunned silly with their expressions frozen on their faces as slime dripped down their bodies.

"So worth it," Percy stated before fleeing the area. The war cries from the enraged cabin six filled his ears as he raced away. He knew that he was going to pay for what happened but at least he felt as if he had earned the beating now. 'I wonder how Naruto's doing?'

So I'm cutting off here. Next chapter will finish the flash back and get onto Naruto's personal quest. Will Naruto survive his cousin Sara or not? What will happen when we see them next? Tune in next time for the next chapter of Son of the Queens.

Have a great spring break everyone!
