'Neeks, I am craving sushi! You don't understand how much!' Will exclaimed. He laughed, while he had his arm around his boyfriend. Nico had his head on Will's chest. Nico grumbled. 'Bad for you,' he mumbled. He turned away a little. Will rolled his eyes. 'You little grump,' he murmured. Nico stood up. 'Wait here,' he said. He ran away, towards the woods. He ran to a dark space, and walked towards it. He breathed deeply and stepped into it. He knew it was hard, but it should be possible to shadow travel all the way to Japan. He envisioned the entirely different culture as well as he possibly could. He stepped out of the shadows and opened his eyes. He did it. Nico had shadow travelled towards Japan. He grinned - he had known it was possible. Right after that thought, he passed out in a park.
Nico opened his eyes again and looked around. He was in a hospital. He blinked - the light shining in his eyes was pretty, well, shiny. A nurse came towards him. She said something in Japanese - something Nico didn't understand. Out of confusion, he talked back to her in Italian. The nurse gave him a weird expression. After that, she walked out of the room. Nico sat up in the hospital bed. He rolled his eyes, stepped out of bed and put on his regular clothes. He walked back into the shadows, and disappeared again.
He reappeared just outside the hospital, and made his way out. He didn't know how the mist would cover up that he was gone, or if the mist would even cover up that he was gone, but he had escapes and that was the most important thing right now. The second most important thing was finding a sushi-restaurant that would give him take-out. He felt in his pockets, and got a wallet out of there. He opened it, and grabbed a debit-card. He had gotten it from his father, who was the god of riches after all (Well, Hades wasn't, but Pluto was, and Pluto had given Hazel one. The girl had asked her dad for a debit-card for her brother as well). He ran towards a bus, praying to the gods that he could use the card in this far-off country. He got to the bus, and tried to order a ticket. He hoped that the busdriver understood him. He seemed to do, because he gave Nico a ticket. His debit card world, luckily. Once they entered the center of the city, the voice-over said something in English. That being: Welcome to the centrum of Osaka. Nico gulped. He wondered how he had travelled all the way to Osaka - hearing the name of the city made it feel more real, somehow. He got of the bus, and strolled around the city for a bit. It was gorgeous, but he didn't have time to look around - he needed to find sushi somewhere. Eventually, he found a place that sold it. He got inside. With a lot of difficulty, he ordered two portions of sushi. He sat down, and ate one of them. It tasted good - very good. After he ate the last bit, he stood up and walked into the loo with the second dish. He travelled into the shadows in there, and thought of Camp Half-blood as well as he could. He clutched the box to his chest, stepped out of the shadows and opened his eyes. He was in the forest of Camp Half-blood. He saw dark spots in front of his eyes, and he fell to his knees. He breathed heavily, trying to stay awake. When the dizzy feeling was gone, he stood up and walked out of the forest. He walked up to the hill. The sun was setting, and the sky looked red. Yet, Will was still on the hill, with a plaid and a ball of yarn. He was knitting something. Nico walked up to him, fell down next to him and gave him the box of sushi. Will looked at him with big eyes. 'Where did you get that from? You didn't travel all the way to Japan, didn't you?' Nico shrugged. 'Maybe.' Will shook his head and pulled Nico into a hug. 'I made you a scarf,' he mumbled. He put the black thing he had been knitting around Nico's neck, and Nico looked as happy as a puppy.
