I have been trying to post my stories for the last several days and there have been issues. Parts not put in, not being accepted, that sort of thing. So until it is fixed I'm afraid this is the last chapter until I know whats wrong.

Hope you enjoy the chapter.

Naruto flinched as Sara's fist slammed into the face of her opponent, knocking out several teeth from his mouth. A quick jab to his leg and round house kick to the side of his head from her leg finished number eleven.

"You Bi-!" Number twelve started before Sara blocked her attack with the pipe and slammed twelve into the wall several times face first. After making sure that the bleeding girl was still alive, but also still wake, Sara flung twelve to hit numbers one, two and six who were getting up. Ducking under a high kick Sara punched with both fists to hit the sweet spot between ten's legs. He collapsed to the ground foaming and a glazed look in his eyes.

"She's a monster!" Four stated as she panicked, and screamed as Sara's weight fell on her via body slam. Flipping off, she captured seven in a head lock and used her strength and leverage to throw him to the ground. Swiping her sweat and hair off to the side she looked up to the cameras that were recording the fight. "Anymore Jack? These ones are good but they need more training in order to challenge me."

"Sorry dear," came a voice from a speaker. "But that's everyone here that is willing to take you on. Did the weapons help at all?"

Sara rolled one shoulder then the other. "A bit, but they need to work on their teamwork and not crowd the target."

A groan came from one of her down practice opponents before Sara grabbed a now broken quarter staff and hit him over the head. "Hey! Don't hit them anymore Sara! The bill is already high already and I don't need them to be more broken then they already are."

"Aw~ Jack, I didn't know you cared."

"Listen girl, my business would suffer if the word got out that this club holds illegal underground fighting with limited to no holds matches. Hell, the only reason your toy is allowed in here is because your matches sell and I don't want to lose my prime money making fighter."

"Tch, well at least clean this pit up. I want to finish my cousin's training." Everyone who heard her words shivered in fear and in pity for Naruto. Naruto would have ran, but Sara had collared him and had the collar connected to the wall with a chain. For his protection she called it. Naruto knew that it turned her on and because he had tried to run when she had dragged him here. This wasn't the first time he had been here, as Sara called it her home away from home and brought Naruto to 'train' with her, but she had never been so violent.

'Why me?" He wondered as she swayed her hips back and fourth as she approached him. Sara loved showing off her figure and her outfit showed it off in spades but at the same time gave maximum protection against her foes in the pit. Ever sense he and Percy had gone to camp, Naruto had noticed that she was similar in looks to one of Aphrodite's children, but had the mannerisms and blood lust of Ares' when fighting. But she was a pure mortal and Naruto hoped that she didn't become another victim of a god's over active sex drive.

"So you want to get started now?" Sara asked her adopted cousin as she gently placed her hand on his cheek. She giggled as he turned his head away and pouted. Tracing his birthmarks, Sara felt her heart thump loudly in her chest and she felt her tongue wet her lips. She could not help it, he was too cute and innocent for his own good. Dense like Percy, but she knew that if it wasn't for her the boys would have only rocks for brains. A taser and bribes of candy went a long way after all. After Percy was trained it was easy to enforce proper study habits onto Naruto. "Don't worry I'll be gentle..."

'Thank the gods.'

"At first. Then we will take it at my pace sweets."

'I take it back. Note to self, ask Percy for help in defacing a statue on Olympus of which ever immortal cursed me to being with her.' Knowing it would be pointless to resist he nodded slowly. Sara squealed in joy and compelled his head forward to land between her breasts by pulling on the chain. Of course, this meant Naruto had a hard time breathing and holding his breath.

'Lucky kid,' thought the manager as he watched from his booth as Naruto struggled to escape. Sara moaned in pleasure as Naruto brought his hands up to push away from her, but his hands were pushing and touching the wrong places. Many tried to look away from the scene as blood dripped from their noses.

"~Aaah~ Naruto~!" Sara gasped as she freed his head. She turned her head off to the side with a bright red blush on her face. Then with her free hand she slapped Naruto into a wall. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT YOU PERVERT!" She shouted at him with the blush still shining on her face. Growling she used the chain to send him flying into the air before yanking down. Spinning on one foot she let go of the chain and kicked him across the room.

"Ouch. That's going to leave a mark on you kit."

Naruto blinked in surprise. 'OK, I think I may have brain damage as I thought I heard Kyuubi.'

"That last kick into the may have but you are still an idiot. It's me you fool. Kyuubi."

"Kyu?" Naruto asked out loud in confusion blinking his eyes. The collar had come off mid flight and he was now hiding in the dust cloud, hoping his monster of a cousin wouldn't find him.

"No, I'm bugs bunny. OF COURSE IT"S ME!... Also duck and roll to the right in ten seconds." Lost, Naruto did not listen and was promptly sidelined by a body thrown by Sara. "I thought I said duck. Anyway, kit, I'll explain later on how you can hear my voice but you have to trust me. Ten o'clock, leap."

Naruto flung himself away from the distortion. Sara appeared where he was and growled when she saw that she had missed hitting him. Her face was flustered and she was panting in excitement. "Oh Naruto~! Come out and play~" She called, her voice dripping of something that Naruto could not identify but everyone else in ear shot could. It wasn't one of pain giving but Naruto didn't know that. All of his mental capabilities were shouting at him saying danger danger Dr. Smith. "I want to show you something~"

'Nope nope nope. Not going to happen,' He chanted in his mind as he ran, his demigod powers and ADHD kicking in. He and Percy had experimented on what powers he could manifest. Chiron told them it was unlikely that Naruto would have a full set and range until he was older but also stated that it was possible to unlock some by force until Naruto reached sixth grade. So far he had unlocked six demigod powers. Water breathing, air and water disturbance detection, basic wind gliding, minor use of shadow cloaking, and minor plant communication. It irked him that he had no combat related powers yet, but the skills were something any ninja would want Kyuubi pointed out. "A little help would be great!"

"First, don't speak out loud. Just think of me and talk in your head, like telepathy or what ever the wheel chaired naked ape from that comic called it. So what I miss?"

'I've lost my mind,' Naruto thought before cloaking himself in shadow and hiding in a corner. The potted plant helped to hid behind as it cased a natural shadow to blend in. Sara raced by without looking and Naruto fled his heart slow down as he relaxed. Collecting himself he tried what Kyuubi had mentioned but nothing happened. "Kyu, are you there?"

Naruto heard a slapping sound in his mind. "Yes I'm here. I guessing the seal isn't weak enough for you and me to communicate via your mind yet. But lets focus on the task at hand. Your survival against your cousin."

"What I want to know is," Naruto grumbled as he crawled away from his hiding spot. "Why is your able to talk to me in my mind. Unless the shrink was right ans your a figment of my imagination after all." Kyuubi growled and spewed a string of curses that Naruto ignored. "Why can't she torment Percy?"

"Because the fates aren't that cruel and being taught math by one of Hade's minions is cruel enough for them?" Kyuubi pointed out. Naruto nodded his head in agreement as he tired to pay attention to his surroundings. But his luck failed him as Sara appeared above him and forced him to the ground in a hold.

"HELP!" Naruto cried out in terror as she grabbed his ankles with one hand. "Please don't kill me!"

"Your not going to die little cousin. It would take too much effort to hide the body and explain to Aunt Sally. But I'm disappointed in you brat. Next time try to keep moving when trying to avoid a stronger fighter and also..." Sara's free hand traced down his torso and chest playfully. "If you wanted to get intimate you could have asked. Taking advantage of a young virgin girl like me could get you into trouble. Image what your mother would say if she found out your fondled your cousin's chest like that. But good underhanded tactic. But now I have to make sure you learn your lesson even more so. So lets get in the pit and fight properly. My. Sweet. Ninja. Toy." Her silky and lusted filled voice punctuated each of her words as she started to drag him to the fighter's pit.

Naruto's eyes lit up as he remembered that he was a ninja in training. 'Hope this works,' he prayed as he reached up. 'Love you mom, Percy.'

"What are you planing?"

Slap

"Aaah~, ...PERVERTED TWERP!"

Naruto nursed a black eye as he and Sara walked into the mall. His body ached all over from the beating, she called it tough love and it was a friendly spar. His mother had asked what happen and before Naruto could tell her that it was Sara's fault, she told Sally her version. How a group of boys had jumped them and Naruto had tried to fight them off only she had to interne to make sure that he wasn't hurt. She said that he did well but she was afraid for him when they pulled weapons out. Of course his mother didn't care to hear that it was Sara who beat him up as there was a cop who confirmed Sara's story and when he told her his version the cop pointed out that Naruto had a rather nasty bump on the back of his head. So his mother thought he must of gotten the details mixed up. Sally gushed over her and him and to Naruto's growing horror but his mother's joy, Sara suggested that they all get manicures.

So there he was with his nemesis and mother at the mall to get his nails done. Worse, several girls that knew him worked at the place from the academy. He hated his life at times as there was no avoiding them. Naruto brood as he dragged his feet along, listening to his mother and cousin have a girl on girl talk. For a nine year old boy it was horrible to listen to. He never really understood the female need to talk about such random stuff and the only reason he could even semi understand was do to his schooling at the girls Academy. As it was a Friday afternoon so the mall was packed and his mother kept him close to arms length. He hated being treated like he was going to be taken away and wanted to explore the mall without his mom or brother hounding on him. But no, he was too irresponsible and young to go out on his own in the eyes of his mother.

"Excuse me?" Naruto blinked and turned around. There, siting on a bench was a man in a suit and another in a tracksuit. The one in the suit he didn't recognize, but he recognized the second. Hermes.

Naruto tugged on his adopted mother's hand and when she looked over to where he was pointing her eyes widened. "Go take care of that. I'll distract your cousin and get us in line. Don't be held up too long as I need to get you to your friend's home after our manicures." Naruto blushed when he heard Hermes and the unknown snicker in his direction. Gathering what little dignity he had left he marched up to Hermes.

The god gave him a wicked grin. "Yo Naruto. How's it going?"

"Don't mock me Hermes," Naruto snapped at the god. Naruto sill was mad at the god and he was number one of god on Naruto's shit list. "What do you want."

"Straight to the point of the back?" Naruto looked at the man who spoke, but he knew that this was an immortal but not one he knew. Seeing Naruto's lack of knowledge of who he was the unknown immortal reached out with his hand. "Prometheus."

"Nice to met you." Naruto looked at the titan with interest and respect. The titan's face was covered with marks that Naruto knew came from the titans punishment before Hercules freed him. However, Naruto could see that the titan hand a tracking device and a shock collar hidden behind the mist. "I'm guessing this is not a chance meeting?"

The titan of forethought shook his head while Hermes rubbed his temples. "Nope, this is request that we need you to do. You see Hermes here..."

"Hey!" Snapped the now irritated god of messages.

Prometheus ignored the interruption. "Lost something of value. You do recall the story of how the council of the gods got revenge on humanity after I gave you lot fire right?"

"Something about a jar, Pandora, and your brother?" Naruto said as he tried to recall the story. Percy had to do a report on the myth when he was taking Chiron's Latin class and Naruto had gotten sick of hearing that story.

"Yep, that's the one. The god of dimwits here lost the jar after my brother sent it to Artemis on the western coast. He was too busy with a girl and so lost the jar." Hermes came under the glares of Naruto and Prometheus for different reasons. Prometheus continued, "So this is where you come in. We would like you to head west and find the jar before some random idiot mortal finds the jar and opens it."

Naruto brightened. "Like a quest?" The two immortals nodded and Naruto let out a cheer of enticement. It was quickly stopped when he remembered where he was. "When do I start?"

"As soon as you are able." Hermes growled as he gave Naruto a look. The god was still miffed after what happened the last time he was with Naruto and was mostly neural to the young demigod. But Hermes also did not like Naruto after Zeus punished him for the fiasco. Cleaning the toilets without powers was not fun. "This must be taken care of as soon as possible."

"I shouldn't have to deal with the postman losing his mail and sending a boy to look for it." Naruto pointed out to the god. "Also I'm a dude and we three know how Artemis feels about males even on a good day. I hope you give refunds cause you suck."

Prometheus cleared his throat before Hermes could hurt the demigod. "So best of luck to you boy. As you don't have a weapon I'll start by looking at your friend's home after they go to sleep."

"Miia's home?" Questioned the confused demigod.

Prometheus shrugged his shoulders while Hermes rolled his eyes. "Yes. Inside there should be something that will work well for you. Now I'm guessing that we have used up your time here. So good luck and see you soon." With a flash the two immortals disappeared, leaving behind a piece of paper. Picking it up Naruto read it.

Have fun with your manicure.

-Hermes :P

"Argh!" Naruto tore up the paper. 'I will get you Hermes.' He vowed as he was dragged into the stall by his impatient cousin where upon the massed descended on him with giggling flare.

"Naruto!" Miia yelled as he walked up the steps to her home. He gulped as his class mate raced forward and jumped. "I've been waiting for you!"

"Gaah!" Naruto and Miia fell to the ground in a tangle of limbs. The red head girl held onto Naruto and sniffed him deeply. Naruto blushed as the girl licked her lips and looked at him. "So how are you Miia?"

"I'm well but hungry. My sisters are in the living room and my mom is making us something to eat." The girl got up and gave Naruto another hug once he was up. "I missed you Naruto."

"It hasn't even been that long Miia," Naruto pointed out to his excited classmate. Grabbing Kyuubi and his things both kids enter the house. "So what do you want to do first?" He asked as he followed Miia to her room.

Miia bit her lip. "Um, Naruto... Sorry about this but it's for your own good." Before he could ask what she meant a giant snake tail slapped him into the wall where he was knocked unconscious. "Sweet dreams Naruto."

So that is the chapter's ending. Now that you know what happened... More or less... we can get on with Naruto's quest.
