This chapter has been the hardest chapter so far I have done. It has been one disaster after another in doing this life has thrown at me whenever I start working on this. Hope you enjoy my hard work.

Ps. XXX777: Yes I know but Naruto is still not old enough for super strength.

Athena scowled at the goddess of love as she searched her face for signs of deception. Apollo would have been good to have at hand, but he was under scrutiny by Zeus to make sure he did not go and abandon his duties to look for his sister. Athena cursed the fact, even if finding the telltale signs lying was a part of interrogation and thus needed in war, a truth god would be helpful.

Poseidon was still knocked out and was on the floor drooling while one of Aphrodite's attendants poking him with a stick. If she wasn't so focused on her great aunt's face she would have smiled.

"...So what you are saying is that my nephew's son is now traveling with your daughter, the one that you were unsure about a relationship, and the apparent daughter of Scylla has joined them and has a crush on Percy..." Sipping her tea Aphrodite continued, "and you think I was the cause."

"Yes."

"I see. Athena do you really believe that I would?"

"I seem to recall that you enjoy a good love triangle and scandal."

Rolling her eyes Aphrodite set down her tea cup. "As much as I do enjoy messing with one's love life Athena, Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase are still too young for romance, they are still under Artemis' protection and my oath not to match making until they reach the age were they start being interested about the opposite sex. As for this newcomer to my plans for the sea spawn, I am not the only immortal that rules love and for another reason, are you sure that you are qualified to tell me about my domain?!" Aphrodite finished with a snarl. She hated when she was accused of actions she did not do and the kies that she had to live under because of the stereotypes the mortals had thanks to Atheha and Apollo.

Apollo she had gotten revenge rather easily with making him have blue balls for a century. As for her niece, taking her blonde hair and making it into a sign of sexual attraction was a minor curse, but only because she let Apollo's literature be recorded and spread with her libraries.

Athena gulped as pressure began to push her into the chair as the room darkened. When she had frist entered she was sure that Aphrodite was involved with Annabeth's misery over Percy. Now she was being reminded that while her father was the king of Olympus, he was still a fourth generation immortal and the son of titans. Aphrodite was a third generation, the last child of a primordial and was far more powerful than what she let on, especial being that her domain was vast and far more older that many of the domains of the gods. "I..."

"Get out Athena and Poseidon with you."

Percy, Annabeth and Krinon stared as Circe repeatably slammed her foot into the gut of the strange man that landed in the boat spewing curses. The man had woken up after they arrived on the island and followed them to the place to see the minor goddess with their guide Hylla, who had tried to stab the men whenever she saw the man take out a note pad.

"%$&*$ DIE ALREADY!" Circe roared as she kicked the man out the window towards the pool. Glancing a mirror at her haggard appearance She twirled her hand and clean herself up before turning towards her guests. "I must apologized for having my guests see me like this. I swear that if that man asked my sizes one more times I wouldn't stop at changing him. Anyway, welcome to my..."

Circle paused as numerous screams were heard from below where the pool was located. Eyes twitching she, along with everyone in the room, looked through the broken window to see the man running from her Spa attendances with the panther after him.

"Err." Percy mental grimaced at failed attempt in gratings to the immortal as he checked to see if riptide was in his pocket still. He wasn't going to take chances with the crazy lady who kicked a man out the window and was now blasting the ground with magical lighting. Percy only slightly felt pity for the man.

Even if said man did try to grope her.

Curve stared at him before looking at his friends after throwing one more magic blast at the man. "By the immortals of old what happened to you dears? Your poor hair and skin! When was the last time you took care if yourselves? Hylla, please take the ladies away for a spa day so they can relax."

"Of course mistress." Bowing, Hylla led a protesting Annabeth away along with Krinon.

Groaning, Circe walked to the bar and took out two glasses. "You mind? After what transpired with that... man, I need a drink to lose the edge."

Filling up the glasses with strange liquid, Circe held it out for Percy to take. Percy accepted the glass but did not drink. Circe sipped at hers out of the corner of Percy's eyes but he wasn't paying any particular attention to her. Instead the tension was entirely on the liquid inside the glass.

'That's not right.' Focusing his ADHD ridden mind, he reached out with his powers over water. 'A hydrogen bond should go there... a carbon molecule should replace that silicon... add in an atom of oxygen to complete the chain... Perfect.'

"Something wrong with your drink dear?"

Shaking his head, Percy chug down his drinking one go. He was thirsty and after what he did even more so. "Nothing wrong, just admiring that tapestry you're thinking of the waterfall."

Glancing over she nodded. "It is one if my better pieces I admit, but I'm thinking of starting over... wait."

Circe's eyes narrowed at Percy before widening. "Why aren't you changing?"

"Changing?"

...

Naruko watched as her new friend Hylla entered alongside her sister the hot tub area with two other girls. Not really paying attention she idly listened to the one called Annabeth complaining about some guy. Sinking into the water she groaned as the jets massaged her sore muscles with the warmth. Circe was an amazing hostess and Naruko loved it here. Curve even taught her a few tricks that required none of her chakra but only imagination and energy similar to what her sensei called natural energy. Obito was sometimes an idiot, but she wasn't sure if it was an act of not.

He was a shinobi after all.

Naruko sanked into the warm water. 'Wonder who's this Percy Jackson fellow their arguing about?'

...

Percy was really wishing he had an escape route at the moment. Circe, after discovering what he did, was on him in a flash blabbing about magical formulas and such that hurt his head. Whimpering in fear at the grin on her face Percy didn't notice that he was being dragged out of the room to somewhere else. Unbidden, his mind wondered to the myth (history?) of Odysseus where Hermes gave him a plant to counter a witch's magic and not to...

Pecy's eyes widened and he paled when his slow train of thought recalled what happened next. 'Shit! Dad, Apollo, Artemis!... Wait, should I ask Artemis for help because she is the goddess of virgins or Apollo as he the god for young men or not at all? De immortals I should not have fallen to sleep when Chiron gave that lecture of the gods' domains in class.'

Circe traced a finger along his jawline. "You know, I never got your name."

A feeling swept over Percy and before he could stop himself his mouth opened. "Percy Jackson, son of Posiden."

That got her attention as she stopped dragging him and looked at him closely. "So your the newest demigod of the big three and the one with the bounty on his head." Before Percy could blink he found himself bound in bronze chains that glowed. Circe's eyes glittered as she lifted a finger causing him to rise off from the floor. "Such a shame about your age but I can wait. Lord Kronos would be more than wiling to let me keep you after you help topple his children from their mountain. If his lacky doesn't fail in his mission."

"What are you talking about?" Percy hoped she could get her to start monologuing to get more information. 'It works in the movies and stories.'

Circe smiled as she took Percy down a new route that was nor long a part of the spa. It was damp, cold and old pictures of animals and battles lined the walls. "Your camps mission to find the fleece. Such a wonderful artifact that your half brother owns that turns the most barren of lands into a land of plenty. Many would be heroes and satyrs have tried to find it you know, but without my aid it is now almost impossible to collect without my knowledge. An camper of Half-blood, a certain daughter of Ares came by and I knew what she sought. She was certainly of Are's loins with her fathers fire. A shame it was too easy to gift her the compass to find the island here but also the means for which Polyphemus to find her."

Percy growled at her for her treachery. "Once I'm free I will make sure the gods know what-"

"None of that now." Waving her hand Percy found his mouth gagged and weakness engulfing him. "I have studied demigods for millenia boy, by now I know how counter all of the children of the gods. As long as your in here my power trumps yours and while Kronos wants you alive, he does not need you whole."

Circe was to say more to Percy but twisted off to the side to avoid being hit by a large fireball. Percy hit the ground with a grunt before finding himself being pulled away from the witch.

"$^=^&%?"

"What?" Percy stared at the man that he saw having been beaten up by Circe and thrown out the window on the tenth floor. 'Clearly I hit my head and hallucinating because this rope better not being the tongue of that giant toad.'

"YOU!" Circe hissed out in shock and anger at the man. "How dare you intervene mortal!"

Percy heard more garble from the man before he dissapeared and reappeared in front of the witch with a fist cocked back before slamming it in her abdomen. Percy winced as Circe hit the wall and found himself freed from her magic. Not wasting the opportunity, Percy ran away from the duo as Circe blasted the man with magical lighting but hit a log instead.

"I need a holiday." He uttered as he went up the steps two at the time. But first, he needed to find the girls.

Naruto picked at the bandage around his head as he was escorted by a teen in gold armor led the way. After the events at Wars R' Us, Naruto was sure Ares had a copyright lawsuit on the store for the blatant use of words. Kurama as happy that the store was destroyed along with the occupants within the building, but the cops came and if it wasn't for their newfound ally, Naruto would have been charged with arson and manslaughter.

"You know that for a squirt your oddly quiet."

"Says the dude that hasn't told me their name after I gave my own." Grunting the teenager ignored Naruto's words and lead him further up the driveway. "So, where are we going?"

"To my grandparents, or at least my grandfather. My grandmother hasn't been the same after her mind began to fade a decade ago."

"Why?"

Groaning the teen rolled his eyes. "Because they are demigods and will be more help then I could to you."

"But you used the mist!" Naruto explained in confusion.

The teen stopped and rubbed his head. "I'm a descendant of theirs. My father was their child and died in a hellhound attack while my mother was a clear sighted... she also died in the attack. My grandparents taught me to survive incase... Stuff like what happens to you happened around me."

"Oh," Naruto nodded his head before nocking it off to the side. "So who are their parents?"

...

Carlson squinted at the boy that his grandson brought before him. He was enjoying the nice summer breeze viewing the setting sun when his grandson brought him a boy with bandages around his head. "What do you have here James?"

This is Naruto, says that he is on a quest to find Pandora's Box." James said as Naruto grumbled about he could have said that. "Found him after he took care of that store that mad son of Ares set up that you wanted gone."

Carlson grunted. "Good, war never has helped the innocent people and children. So boy, which of the gods is your sire? And keep your voice down, I dont want me wife hearing you."

"I'm whom they call the son of the queens sir. Hera-"

"James go check on the horses and don't come back until I call for you. Carlson interrupted Naruto in a clipped command tone which sent his grandson racing off to the stables. Leaning forward in his chair Carlson looked into Naruto's eyes. "Do you know why I sent him away, Greek?"

Naruto was taken back by the tone of voice the old man used. Before he had a friendly tone but now it was more of a commanding one that held authority. "N-no sir."

Leaning back in his chair Carlson pulled up his sleeves revealing multiple scars and a tattoo with an image of a lightning bolt along with an X and V. "Before I begin I want to to swear that you will not reveal what I'm about to tell you unless you are given permission from the gods, those who already know, and when it is no longer a secret. Do this so I can explain to you the secret."

"I swear"

Thunder boomed and Carlson relaxed. "What I have to say will take some time but needs to heard. My name is Carlson, son of Jupiter born 1925."

"Jupiter?"

"Zeus for you now don't interrupt. It was near the end of the second world war when I met my wife, bless her soul, and fell in love. She told me that she had to get away from her home after her uncle killed her younger siblings... during one of her panic attacks your mother appeared, Hera. Or should I say Juno. You see Naruto, I am a demigod from the Roman aspect of the gods, you are from the Greek side. Like two sides of the same coin. Juno... Hera had come to separate us before the wedding day to prevent us from wedding."

"As if we were going to let her."

Carlson and Naruto looked to the doorway where an elder woman stood leaning against. "Hera owed me a favor however and I was able we'd you sparky."

Carlson blushed. "Oh shush you and you bad taste of names Lily."

"Do you want me to prevent you from having warm water again?" Carlson sputtered as Liky grinned at Naruto. "Nice to meet you young one. Names Lily, daughter of Poseidon."

...

Naruto head hurt and it wasn't from the head injury. Carlson and Lily told him how Lily was indeed his brother's sister who turned 16 the day before the old perverted lighting bolt man declared that the big three would no longer have children and killed all the ones who were under 16. She had fled to the western front of the war and was posted on the aircraft carrier where she meet Carlson who was a combat pilot. They explain that there were two camps, one for each coast and both fought in the war on opposite fronts after the events of Pearl Habor. The veil between the camps was almost taken down for the war, but the civil war prevented the vote from reached the majority of the gods, one if the rare choices that needed the support of minor gods as well as the major.

Juno/Hera was conviced to let them marry after doing several tasks for her to make sure they would never betray the secrets of the camps and there locations. After the war, they were forced to separate as they were supposed to check in with their camps before leaving. Carlson said that leaving New Rome was hard for him as it was his home for fifteen years of service. The extra years that he put in were not normal but he enjoyed them. As for Lily she went back to Camp Half-blood, Carlson was pushed when he pointed out the name sucked and was like declaring that demigods where sub human and not the nice way, where she collected her things and left after saying goodbye to Chiron.

Both were happily married for over many decades and had their share of adventures including their wedding night in the Locas hotel. Lily blushed at the memory even as Naruto gagged as they both sighed at their marriage vows and night. Both had fought their fair share of monsters and dealing with them when they came for the kids. The look on thier faces when one of their daughters joined the hunt after Artemis visited for some aid after a hint gone wrong. Listening to their tales made Naruto wonder if it was possible for more demigods to have a happy ending as well and not like those in the stories.

Now laying on the bed of their guest bedroom after a shower Naruto and Kurama were talking about what to do next. They knew that the box was nearby thanks to a location spell he learned from a child of Hecate after helping him get together with a nymph that he has a crush on. While the spell could not give him the exact location, it dig give Naruto the general area of a object.

"So the box is within three miles of here. Pretty convenient don't you think?"

"Yeah, but the last time I looked it was in Oregon and before that Paris. It keeps jumping around and I'm starting to believe Hermes just stole the dumb thing and is making go on a merry old goose chase."

"If it is I say we should do another noodle incident inside his mail room." Yawning, Kurama snuggled under the covers. "You stay on your side of the bed with your blankets this time. Night Naruto."

Sliding under the blankets to sleep Naruto could not help but feel as if something was looking at him though the windows but there was nothing but the light of the half moon. If he was more awake or looked up a minute later he would have seen a figure in the distance heading towards the old farmhouse too big to be a human. It did not cross the property line but instead focused on the home before sending the cyclops forwards.

The five cyclops raced forward before being blasted with lighting from the porch of the house where Carlson stood with a glowing sword. Growing the figure walked away as the rest of his forces tested the defenses. All were destroyed of course he knew that, but now he knew what he was up against when his uncle set him list from the blasted punishment Zeus put him under.

Tomarrow would be the last day before he had to return as to not get noticed by the dam Olympians. And the day he would force the son of Jupiter to open the jar before his death.

Reviews are needed. I will be answering reviews for this chapter in 27
