OK Everyone here is the chapter again correctly... I hope.

Last night I took down my AN and posted this chapter and went to bed. Apparently Something went wrong and Now I am reposting this.

Hope that you will all enjoy this chapter I have been working on to get right for several days now.

"Face it Kyuubi we're lost."

"No, I'm sure that we came this way."

"Where the man eating rats came from? Yeah right, we didn't even pass that overhead on our way though."

"Well you almost went dipping in acid and then did an Indiana Jones run with that boulder."

"You said that the lever was our way though! Also who believes a rabbit that was hiding ester eggs just happens to have a map of this place!? It's on an ester egg for crying out loud!"

"It was a good deal. Map for not being eaten. Not my fault for dropping it."

"It was a fricking fracking egg!"

Naruto and his friend Kyuubi were lost after Naruto discovered a stone with a glowing delta sign on it. With his captors after him, he jumped though the opening and closed the passageway behind him. Now he was standing in the middle of a tunnel with no idea where he was or how long he had been walking, running, climbing, and swimming though this... Whatever it was. Sitting down against the wall he began to cry, his hand made torch falling off to the side.

"Watch it!" Kyuubi yelled as he recoiled away from the flames that licked at his tails. Patting own the end of one of his tails he turned and glared at Naruto. "Stop crying and get up."

Naruto just kept on crying as he was overwhelmed from everything that was happening and the tone that Kyuubi was using. He was tired and hungry. He wanted his mom and his family. He was upset that he was crying, he didn't cry. But he was done and his emotions were out of control.

"Tch. Whatever. I'm getting out of here." With his part done, the fox disappeared into the darkness, leaving Naruto truly alone.

Alone.

In the dark.

...

Naruto didn't know how long he was alone for, crying. He hated it, he hated feeling so weak. Getting up, he noticed with fascination that he felt stronger in the shadows. Like he was meant to be in the dark. 'Cool,' he thought as he looked around. Everything had a outline of color even thought he knew there was no light source. Not that he cared, he was a ninja and this was awesome. Jogging down a passage way he looked for anything useful. After moving some distance away from he was he looked at his gifts from his godly parents.

One was a body suit of black cloth and gray armor with the symbol of the camp on either shoulder. Apparently his godly mothers thought it was cute that he wanted to be a ninja demigod or thought he would look good as one, he didn't know. Then again they may have been paying attention to his dream of becoming a ninja demigod legend. When he and his friend were hiding he had discovered by his great joy that the suit hand a minor camouflage abilities and pockets to fill with all sorts of things. It was however a little tight in some places he mused as he shifted it so it wasn't so tight on his rear.

Then there was his new weapon... if it could be considered one. While he was happy to get a weapon to kill monsters like his awesomely cool but dumb brother, he wished it wasn't so... so mundane. Taking it out of one of his pockets, Naruto looked at the bronze yo-yo. He had at first thought it was just a weapon in a form to carry like Percy's, to no such luck. Flicking it forward, he marveled at the way it moved though the air. He had yet to see how much string was attached to the yo-yo as it was magically connected, but also he didn't want to touch the string. He had discovered by mistake that the string was more like a wire of celestial bronze when he played with it without his suit gloves.

Blinking, he noticed that he was now in a room full of marble statues of the gods but at the same time not. Zeus looked more stern and more annoying to his eyes and Mr. D looked less fat. He thought about the room but choose to instead to give the dirty statutes a bit of cleaning. Looking around he found a rag and an empty bucket. Seeing that there was no water, he tried to summon some water using his powers.

"Watcha doing?" Naruto jumped at the sound of another human being's voice. Looking to the darkest part of the room as torches lit when he entered, was a boy wearing what the young demigod thought to be a bed sheet. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."

"You didn't." Naruto flatly said, knowing it to be false. The other boy also knew but let it slide. "Who are you?"

The boy shrugged. "Just another person in this place. I was raised here and this is my home. Not many visitors here as they usually die or something horrible happens to the unlucky ones. You are lucky if you been in here for so long or just entered a while ago."

"Just entered to escape an overly affectingly lamina and her family." Naruto scowled as the other boy let out a bark of laughter. "It's not funny."

"Yes it is." Came the reply as the boy swings his legs back and forth. Naruto grumbled and went back to see if he could summon some water. The boy watched for a few seconds before opening his mouth. "You constipated or something? I can leave if you need to use the toilet but the gods wound like you doing it in their presence."

'Already did that.' Naruto recalled the event with a frown on his face. "I'm trying to summon some water so I can clean the statues."

"Why not use that pond?" Blinking Naruto looked where the boy pointed and his mouth dropped. There in the opposite side of the room was a pond with a spring bubbling where none was before. Snapping his head towards the boy Naruto's face said it all. "See? Much easier to do so now right?"

"Thanks. I'm Naruto, son of the queens. You?" Naruto asked as he raised his hand.

"Just call me Suraci, descendant of Athena." The now named Suraci stated as he stood up and took Naruto's hand. "So, Naruto, shall we get to work?"

"Ok."

The two boys worked together on cleaning the statues of the gods together for some time swapping stories. For Naruto, he told stories of camp and his brother Percy. Suraci was interested to hear the stories and kept asking Naruto for details, which Naruto did his best of supply. Suraci in torn told Naruto several stories of the gods and his adventures he had had in the labyrinth, the name of the place they were in, and his cousin who visited him time to time.

"He hates that he has to get a permit to get here." Suraci grunted out as he went at a spot on the statue of Athena. "He can only come every once in a while when I'm stuck in here for most of the year looking for my father."

"Why not look outside here?" Naruto asked as he cleaned the statue of what he thought was Artemis. He wished that the goddess of the moon's statue would stop looking at him with a mixture of confusion and interest. It was creepy.

Suraci shrugged his shoulders in acceptance. "My boss really wants to find my father and I have to return to his side every so many days. I'm lucky that I can even leave his domain to search instead of his enforcers. They already have to deal with other matters and he doesn't want them pulled from them for now. But his patience is wearing thin as of late."

Naruto didn't push on even as the younger boys thoughts were still o the idea of finding out who this boss was. "I think we're done here."

"Yeah. Hey, if you want out just do down the passageway and take the door you see on the left." Suraci helpfully stated as Naruto got up.

"Thanks Suraci. I'll see you again sometime or iris call?" Naruto asked only to see his knew found friend shake his head.

"I rather not." Before Naruto could ask he continued. "I have to be careful in here and an Iris message could let him find out I'm looking for him. That would make out our reunion that much more problematic."

Nodding his head, Naruto set forth once more leaving Suraci behind. Smirking Suraci watched as the young demigod left before vanishing. Lord Hades would like to know more on what he had found out about Naruto and Suraci was still in hot water with the lord of the dead. 'Good luck young demigod.' The ghost thought as he finished vanishing. You'll need it as the gods aren't so forgiving as they say they are.'

"Hey Suraci you coming or what?" Naruto asked as he looked into the room. Seeing no one he scratched his head and went back towards the exit. 'That was weird.'

...

'Stupid ningen. Why I even help him is beyond me.' Kyuubi humphed out as he trotted though the passage way. 'I should have not let him go though with the idea of coming down here and now I'm lost. I rather be stuck behind the seal then in this thing then walking in this filthy sewer system.'

He had no Idea how long he had been on the move for and he didn't care. Munching on a squirrel that barely put up a fight he tried to make sense of the place. So far he had avoid being skewed, cut into pieces, falling into a pit of crocodiles, and fleeing from an acid mist filled room. Flicking his tails side to side he pawed the ground in agitation.

'Dam it. I miss him.'

A sound from up ahead derailed Kyuubi from his thoughts. Moving forward in a low stalking manner, he moved with silence, tails waving behind slowly. Eyes glittering, he slowly saw a light form up ahead. Exiting though a hole his mouth dropped at the sight of a vixen grooming herself in the moonlight.

...

Blinking his eyes, Naruto looked around in wonder and shock. He was in the middle of nowhere and he had discovered the exit was an abandoned port-a-potty. looking around, he tried to get an idea where he was. Trees went on for miles around him as well as a ring of simi now covered mountains.

"Good thing Grover helped me with finding my position using the stars and my mother on what to do if I get lost." Naruto stated with bravo. Several seconds pasted before the demigod stared to scream for help. After several minutes that felt like hours, he stopped as his throat was sore. Rubbing it as it was painfully sore, he began to walk towards the west based off the stars.

'I bet that Kyuubi is still lost in that place.' He ideally thought with a snicker as he hopped across a stream. Hearing a noise off to the right of him, Naruto froze. It wasn't the herd of American bison that were sleeping that gave him pause. No, it was the massive bronze bulls that were looking at his direction. 'Aw F**k'

The largest bull let out a mechanical roar before charging along with it's siblings. If not for his throat being too sore to scream, Naruto took off with one of silence. The herd of American bison scattered and naruto was lucky none of them were moving towards him. However he still had thirteen angry demigod hating bronze bulls of the smith god after him. The earth trembled as they moved and Naruto was lucky he could still find traction do to training. But there was a problem, he was running out of forest and there was a large plain ahead of him full of hot springs.

Seeing that he had no choice in the matter, seeing as the trees that were between him and the bulls were being uprooted or smashed though, Naruto pressed on. Jumping into the air he avoided being speared though by several buzz-saws and used the steam from on of the hot springs to glide over unstable land. Glancing back he grinned nervelessly at the sight of one of the bulls melting in the waters.

'So avoid being killed by bronze bulls and acid hot springs. Joy.' He then yipped as a plasma charge went by him. 'And now also more ranged weaponry. Thank you Hephaestus for such deadly monsters. Not.'

Landing, Naruto winced as his ankle twisted at an unnatural angle as the ground gave way. Pushing though the pain, he kept on moving with an increasingly painful limp. Taking out his yo-yo he attacked the nearest bull and entangled the legs making it fall to the ground and being gored by one of its brothers. Calling the end of the yo-yo, Naruto missed the rock in his path. He went down with a tumble and the pain increase tenfold. He raised his arms preparation for his death by trampling and realized with a stupid thought that he had the toll for Thanos on him.

'I love you mom, Percy.' Closing his eyes he waited for the god of death to take him.

It was not to be.

Several silver arrows whizzed by his head striking the bulls. The bulls let out mechanical noises in pain and frustration as they were denied their kill as the arrows pieced their hides. Noticing he wasn't dead, Naruto sat up as several girls raced by him with timber wolves chasing after the fleeing monsters. One stopped next to him and leaned forward and looked at his leg. Looking a her, Naruto noticed a tiara on her head as she barked orders to the other girls. His hearing was messed up do to a ringing in his ears but it was slowly fading.

"Who... Who are you?" He asked in a raspy voice. Or at least he tried. His throat was so sore that it it was painful to make the words and when they came out is was a pathetic wheeze.

The girl smiled. "It's alright miss. We're the Hunters of Artemis and your safe now." Looking over him she leaned over and touched his leg. Naruto hissed and the girl clicked her tongue. "It's severely sprained. I'll have to take you to camp to fix you up. So up you go."

Naruto felt his heart his heart sink at the sight of her smiling face as she lifted him up. He knew the stores from ancient Greece and from the other campers about the hunters and their anti-boy status. His voice was too gone to plead for mercy as the unnamed huntress carried him like a sack of grain to correct her that he was a boy. Not a girl.

"It's ok girl. You'll be feeling better in no time." The hunter tried to calm Naruto down as he started to cry. "In fact, once we take care of that leg we'll take a dip in one of the safer hot springs to relax and you can tell us your story ok?"

'Death by monster bulls or angry hunters of Artemis. I rather the monsters.' Naruto wailed in his mind as his imagination ran wild about all the painful things the hunters would do to him. The hunter didn't seem to notice his tension as they entered the camp and called out to someone called Ruby. Being smart, he hoped, Naruto kept his eyes closed so that he would be spared the pain of looking at the girls when Artemis came.

"It's a clean break, not a sprain Zoe. Also, it seems that her throat is swollen. She will be unable to speak or swallow for several hours so will have to wait to get her story. Nothing to worry about. I'll fix her up and we can go take her with us to the spring. I really need to get the sweat and dirt off my breasts."

"So much like like your mother." Naruto heard the one called Zoe mock gasp in a teasing matter. He then heard a yelp of pain then laughter as she left.

"Just because my mother is Aphrodite doesn't mean I like being clean Zoe. I know that you enjoy a good long bath in a hot spring after a good hunt." Ruby retorted as her hunter sister left. "Now lets fix you up honey. I know scary it is for a nine year this is but you have nothing to fear from us. And if you ask me you look really pretty."

Naruto felt lines of sweat trail down is body as he felt her look at him top to bottom. 'I'm dead. I'm so dead. My souls is going to ripped to shreds by Artemis I know it. I'm dead. I'm so dead...'

"Now let's get you out of this suit your wearing."

Naruto fainted then and there in terror.

Annnnd I'm cutting it off there. Remember to review and I'll see you again in several weeks.
