Chapter 19: It's Time for camp again
STORY START
It had been a hectic few months for Naruto having finally confessed to Zoe his feelings and having to deal with the teasing of the other hunters and his mother's at how long it took him to get to that point.
It took all Naruto and Zoe had not to burst into flames from their embarrassment when they found out everyone had been betting on them from the hunters to the gods to even Chiron in Camp Half-Blood.
All in all however both Naruto and Zoe were happy that they had finally confessed to each other on that fateful day and their union was even approved of by the three virgin goddesses along with Hecate.
Aphrodite however had to be held off by the four goddesses before she could mess with the relationship.
So now here was Naruto and Saber on board Vimana as they traveled back to Camp Half-Blood for the summer camp having finished their winter camp at Artemis's hunt.
"Naruto are you sure we couldn't bring Zoe along?" Saber asked Naruto remembering the tearful parting of the two who had promised to see each other later during the winter half of this year.
"Yes while I am a part of the hunt Zoe holds a more important role there being it's second in command so her duties belong there" Naruto said sadly.
"Couldn't she take a break or something? I could clearly see you two do not wish to be apart" Saber noted to Naruto.
"No part of a relationship Saber is also learning to keep responsibilities and duties while still holding on to the relationship so for now we must be apart" Naruto said somberly.
"I see it must be hard" Saber said more to herself than to Naruto.
"Yes it is hard but it is worth it in the end" Naruto said with a soft smile on his face.
"Oh were here Saber let us disembark." Naruto said as he landed the Vimana in an unused space in the middle of Camp Half-Blood.
And as soon as they got off they were greeted by the sight of Chiron who heard the commotion and exited the big house to greet them.
"Ah Naruto welcome back to Camp I assume this is your companion?" Chiron greeted.
"Yes I am Naruto's servant you may address me as Saber" Saber said with a curt bow of respect.
"Ah I heard of you from Mr. D come he is expecting you" Chiron said as he lead towards the big house.
Naruto and Saber than proceeded to follow Chiron into the big house to see Mr. D in his usual choice of clothing taking a sip out of his diet coke.
"Damn Brat what took you so long it cost me a favor to your mother since I placed my bet too early huh? Next time move faster you lazy brat." Dionysus said with a slightly irritated tone as he looked at Naruto.
"Cheh I don't need to hear this from you!" Naruto said gruffly as he turned to leave.
"Oi oi listen first huh in a few days Chiron is being replaced by you because he has taken the blame of poisoning the tree of Thalia so by the vote of the council you are to be temporarily the Camp Director alongside me got it?" Dionysus said half-heartedly.
"What someone poisoned the barrier tree which bastard did that huh?" Naruto roared angrily knowing how important that tree was to Annabeth.
"While we cannot point fingers we believe it to be Luke Castellan who reneged after you and Annabeth left camp we believe him to be under the influence of the titan lord himself but we all we can do is speculate for now until actual proof is found. Until then I will remain out of the camp once Percy returns and you will take over my job fun isn't it" Chiron said jokingly.
"WHAT! You expect me to watch over these peons?" Naruto asked angrily.
"Yes brat now don't worry your pants of I'll give you a hand from time to time." Dionysus said not really comforting Naruto.
"Yippee" Naruto said sarcastically.
"If that is all I will head to my mother's cabin before anything more happens to me" Naruto said with Saber following him out.
Only for the two to stop and turn around to look at Chiron.
"Where is Annabeth? I don't feel her presence at all." Naruto said.
"Oh she left to go get Percy they should be here by tomorrow I think" Chiron said to Naruto who nodded in understanding.
Leaving for his mother's cabin Naruto entered with Saber who drew many looks from the campers present.
"Ignore them Saber we will introduce you later" Naruto said comfortingly knowing Saber didn't like to be the center of attention to much.
"I know" saber said with a nod.
And at that they entered the cabin of Artemis same as always except when they entered Naruto's room the bed was somehow bigger than before and there was another adjoining room with Saber's nameplate on the door.
"I better go see this Naruto" Saber said as she entered her room while NAruto was distracted by the letter neatly hidden in his pillow only just a bit of it was showing which is why he took notice of it.
Grabbing it he opened it up to read.
Dear Naruto
By now you probably noticed that your bed is bigger than before. That is because I modified it to fit two people both you and Zoe will no doubt share this bed at one point when they come over to camp so I got this in advance. She still has her regular bed with the other hunters but knowing both of you this will come in handy.
PS. There is a gift from your uncle Apollo in the bedside drawer do not be alarmed.
PPS. Do not throw it out!
PPPS. I know it will be impossible to halt the feeling so when you do engage please use protection I'm to young to be a grandmother!
I love you my little King
Love
-Mother
Feeling a sense of dread wash over him Naruto opened up his bedside drawer to confirm his fears. Inside was a whole box of condoms.
'What the heck how did Uncle convince Mom to keep it in here anyway?' Naruto thought to himself in bewilderment. Only to realize moments later that if Artemis was like other mother they would like grandchildren at one point and most likely Apollo exploited that fact on Artemis and got her to allow him to give his gift.
Closing the drawer quickly as he opened it he chose not to dwell on it any longer and left it for the time he would actually need it.
Deciding to leave this matter for another time he quickly took his place on his bed and rested for dinner to camp.
(Dinning Pavilion Hours Later)
It was not as crowded as usual since the other campers had yet to arrive and it was only the year rounders' who were here minus Annabeth who had gone to fetch Percy.
"Campers listen up we have a new camper joining us she will be with Naruto in cabin eight please welcome Saber!" Chiron announced to them.
"Saber? What kind of name is Saber?" a person from the Athena cabin asked.
"It's my class name until I deem you worthy of knowing my real name." Saber said politely.
"And just how will you deem us worthy huh?" an Ares camper asked.
"I will be the judge of that." Saber said simply.
"Oh yeah think again I'll myself worthy!" the Ares camper shouted taking her words the wrong way and so he charged at her with the sword he had on him.
Only for Saber to grab the sword before it even reached her countering the hasty attack in fact it was so quick that everyone except for Naruto, Chiron, and Dionysus noticed at once while the rest only saw it till the Ares camper had past Saber as if he cut her down only to realize he had no blade in hand.
Seeing this all the campers looked back to Saber who had the sword in her hand.
"You're attack was too hasty and cheap for a swordsman shall I re-educate you?" Saber said with a serious face just before she proceeded to spank the Ares camper over her knee with the flat of his blade.
"Have you learned your lesson?" Saber asked when she was done.
"Yes please don't do it again." the Ares camper all but begged.
After that the rest of the dinner went without a hitch leaving everyone to their own devices before the trumpet call for lights out went all over camp.
(The Next Morning)
Everyone was woken up wide awake by the sounds of steel clashing against steel resounding through the morning aria.
Everyone left their respective cabins to check what on earth was making that sound. Only to see Naruto and Saber in their respective Armors clashing in the middle of the camp.
Gold vs. Silver
Red vs. Blue
King vs. King
It was a sight to behold as both contestants both stayed their ground unyielding in their strikes both seeking an end to their deadlock.
Finally as fate would have it both have reached an impasse choosing to jump away from one another to recover their breath and to plan a better form of attack.
"HAAAH" both Naruto and Saber yelled out their battle cry as they charged at each other once more clashing with their respective blades swinging in motions that would seem fast even for a demigod.
Naruto had found an opening choosing to exploit it he aimed for a downward slash only for Saber to evade and attempt to cut him in half only for Naruto to parry her strike quickly before launching his own attack forcing her to back off.
Saber who had just been forced backwards began to focus her prana on her blade initiating her skill Prana Burst which has a heavy devastating power if used to hit an opponent but Saber often tended to use it as a boost for her strikes since she was strong enough. And so seeing this NAruto held his sword in a guard formation to take the brunt off Sabers attack being too fast for him to evade at all.
And so as their baldes collided with Saber clearly overpowering Naruto the unexpected happened as Naruto allowed his body to flow with her strike effectively opening her back to attack as she was too fast to evade or dodge since she was moving in a linear motion with a downward slash allowing Naruto to get behind her and hold his blade to her neck.
"I win Saber." Naruto said panting tired from their spar.
"Indeed Naruto shall we call it a day?" saber said panting as well.
"Whoa that was awesome" A camper yelled out as the whole camp clapped at the performance.
"Yeah and we will have Naruto as our camp Director so we get to learn from him" another added on.
"Hold it I don't know if it was formalized yet but if it is I will do my best to teach you something" Naruto said tired from his spar.
All campers nodded at this and headed off to their respective duties our activities for the day.
"Naruto come quickly you have a guest" Chiron said as he galloped over to Naruto from the big house just as Saber went back to the Artemis cabin.
"What is this about?" Naruto asked Chiron only to receive silence as he followed the centaur to the big house.
As soon as he entered the big house he could see Mr. D with his jaws haging open blatantly staring at the other person who was in the room.
She had two golden fox ears on her head along with pink hair which split into twin pigtails which went until slightly passed her shoulders. She had a single fox tail coming from the tail bone just above her but she had a small black ladies hat on the upper right side of her head her hair pins which held her hair in a pigtail style were like flowers in design green with a hint of white. Her clothes was a provocative choice she had on a black corset which was connected to her black sleeves exposing her smooth shoulders and a huge part of her breasts leaving very little to the imagination. Connected to the corset was a black cloth connected to it by the sleeves to cover her neck also connected was a pair of black frilly mini shorts and in between her corset her neck brace and her shorts were golden belts and buckles one might find in a bondage dungeon. She had one a pair of slightly see through knee socks and black high heeled shoes.(A/N: Tamamo's alternative costume.)
"T-Tamamo what are you doing here?" Naruto asked in surprise not having heard from her in a while.
"Naruto? Naruto it's so good to see you again you don't call you don't write it's sad I don't see you as often anymore since they let me out of the seal you know. We used to be so close we were joined at the hip or in our case gut" Tamamo said rather playfully as she hugged Naruto into her bosom getting a jealous look from Dionysus and surprisingly Chiron.
"Yeah I miss you too Tamamo what brings you here?" Naruto asks wondering why she had appeared now since she was kept busy by his mothers.
"Oh I have something to tell you! Lady Athena and Hestia want you to accept the position temporarily for your benefit. And Lady Hecate said I can stay with you for now" Tamamo said happily as she hugged Naruto again getting excited at the fact she can stay with Naruto for a while.
