We Banished Princes Chapter 13

Something new, something good

An: Just in case you didn't know I currently have a poll for Jason's pairing so feel free to vote, as soon the poll will close. However, if you want to see Jason with someone else or with no one at all, please review so I can put it up for consideration.

I don't own PJO or HOO that belongs to Rick Riordan

"Then focus deep within yourselves and unleash the power I have granted you."

The results were not disappointing.

~ Inari POV ~

The ears and tail suit them nicely. One would almost find it cute if it weren't for the claws, sharp teeth, and piercing slitted white eyes that came with it. Ah hell, I still found it cute, they were my little kits now after all.

" I-inari-sama."

I focused back on reality. "Yes, Jason?" Now that I think about it growing new appendages probably hurts doesn't it? The blood rushing from the newly broken skin as they laid there staining the carpet. My hands twitch.

"Ah yes, demigods are still part human after all. Shima! Shizuka!"

They were already waiting outside to answer my call, or to be nosy. Oh yip yap, at least they're here.

Percy groaned as Shima picked up him and Jason both. "Take them to the baths and clean the wounds. Shizuka."

I turned my head.

"Hai Inari-sama?" she responded. I looked toward the blood-stained carpet. "Burn the carpet would you?"

Shizuka lit her palms aflame, her eyes narrowing ever so slightly. "Hai, it shall be done."

~ 3rd POV Bath house~

While settled in the indoor onsen the now unconscious Jason and Percy were put into the water to clean off the blood. Despite being in the water Percy only shifted a bit before relaxing in the water. The once clear water began to turn red as he cleaned them absentmindedly chuckling when their Ears or tails twitched. Now Shima paid no mind to how this might look to others if they were present. He was only doing what his mistress asked of him. He was a boy and so were they, the fact that he had to undress them if anything actually annoyed him. They were so damn heavy too!

"My kit would have a conniption fit if he was conscious to see this," Percy stated, scaring the hell out of Shima as he clearing blood away from the demigod's lower back. Shima looked at Percy to shout at him only to catch sight of the orange eyes and sigh.

"Please don't scare me like that Karma-san, I thought he had actually woken up for a second there."

Karma only smirked at him.

"Oh, and how would that have been a problem Shima-shounen?" Enma asked joining the conversation. Though the mischievous glint in his eyes said that he knew the white-haired man didn't have an answer prepared.

"Okay, you know that I know, that I have no good answer for that so I ain't saying shit." Shima retorts.

Enma and Karma both only shrug their respective host shoulders. Shima wondered why he had to carry their heavy asses if the two fox spirits could just do take over.

"Anyways since you are both capable of using their bodies how about you finish cleaning all the blood."

"Tch, gaki ordering us around like that," Enma said while still picking up the washcloth.

"I know right? Kids, so disrespectful," said Karma giving a shake of Percy's head.

Shima only scoffed and stood. "I'm leaving if anyone needs anything just howl, or in your case," he told them as he was leaving the room.

"Don't say it, don't you f- "Language Enma," say it!"

….

"Yip!"

"You! -" For the love of all things sacred Enma do not use Jason-kun's mouth to say what you're about to say!"

So as karma tried to diffuse the ticking bomb that was Enma, Shima left the onsen snickering. After the bath, the two exited the room and picked out a new set of clothes for their kits to wear. Percy and Jason regained consciousness and therefore control of their bodies halfway through getting dressed. Needless to say, they were a little confused and red-faced afterward.

'I still don't see what the problem is you're both boys.' The fox spirits commented.

"THAT'S NOT THE REASON AT ALL!"

~ Jason POV ~

I went out at night to sit by the tree Percy and me like to sit out under. Everyone else was asleep but for some reason sleep will not take me too. My tail flipped and flopped as I sat down trying not to accidentally sit on it.

I sigh and look up at the skyline to see stars. Now I don't pretend to know if everyone sees the same beauty I see in stars, but I find them amazing. When Percy told me about himself I knew he did too. However, I think it had more to do with Diana's former lieutenant more than anything. However, that's not why I couldn't resist them. Mine came from a dream or maybe a memory.

"City of stars, are you shining just for me?"

There's a woman who sings with a girl perched on her lap brushing her dark hair.

"City of stars, there's so much that I can't see"

I don't know who they are, at least I think I don't.

"Who knows?"

The woman looked like an actress you'd see in movies her hair done up in ringlets that cascaded down her shoulders.

"Is this the start of something wonderful?"

The girl says nothing, but her hands move as though she's playing along on the piano.

"Or one more dream"

My ears twitch and I'm back to staring and singing in the open air. The only witnesses being the fish in the pond. Unlike Percy, there's nothing special or really even good I think about my voice. It's just the only voice I've got.

"That I can not make true."

Just sitting and humming to myself in my sleeplessness like a writer with writer's block. Trying put the pieces of my story together.

Star by star.

"Maybe I should just stick with fighting for now. It's what I'm good at, I think." I say to myself and the fish in the star-filled pond.

~3rd POV~

Though the woman standing on the other side of the tree would appreciate his voice just as much. She silently touches his shoulder and gives him the sleep he craves. Carries him to bed like a mother does for her child when they stay up too late and tucks him in.

Inari gazes at the boy in the bed and softly pets a twitching fox ear above his head. "It is a dream that I'll make come true my kit."She whispers as she swiftly turns and stops at the door. "Yours and mine." Though she could care less for the actual mother of Jason she knew that he would love to meet the girl he couldn't remember. His true opposite, his sister Thalia.

And so the fox goddess left for her chambers softly humming about a city of stars.

KN: I do not own the song, city of stars belongs to LaLa Land and Ryan Gosling. I wonder if everyone's still even here. A review would surely let me know.
