Hey every one just to let you know that the poll will remain up a little while longer but will be taken down once the fifth chapter is completed.

They won't immediately be with Naruto since Silena will be the first. I will be spacing when the other girl get together with Naruto throughout the five books.


Chapter Four

Naruto nodded his head as he listened to his IPod as he sat comfortably in the back of the camero while Percy and Sally talked leisurely. He guessed that they wanted to talk more and discuss everything Percy has been doing in the last couple of months. So he figured listening to his IPod was the smart thing to do so that he didn't eavesdrop on their conversation and gave them some privacy.

Ever since he came to this world Naruto had changed and not just physically. He felt more at peace in this world then he did back in the Elemental Nation, but then again he didn't have people glaring at him left, right and centre. Not only had that he learnt the value of patience and thinking before speaking and acting.

He had matured a great deal and was now so much different to what he use to be. If anyone from the Elemental Nation ever saw him again they would probably ask him what he did with the real Naruto. All he would have to tell them was that he grew up.

Right now the car was pulling in next to a wooden cabin that was located right on the beach. The cabin looked a little old but seemed to be in decent condition.

The beach itself was very beautiful. The white sand and clean blue ocean that sparkled as the sun hit it made Naruto fall in love with the place. He could now understand why Percy and Sally loved the place so much.

It looked like they would the only ones there since there were no other cars pulled up beside the other cabins. In fact it looked as if the place was rarely used. But the look on Percy and Sally's faces when they saw the place made him realise just how special this place was to them.

"Okay boys why don't you unpack the car while I go pay and let the owners know that we have arrived."

"Right then here you go Sally" Naruto said getting a small wad of cash out of his pocket. "I promised I would pay my own way and I intend on doing that" he said placing the money in Sally's hand.

Sally looked at Naruto gratefully before she headed off. The two boys got out the car and began unloading and taking everything into the cabin.

When they got in Naruto looked out around the place. It was pretty basic with a couple of cupboards, a small kitchen, a bathroom and a couple of beds. Thankfully there was a bunk bed and a double bed so they would not have to worry about anyone sharing or sleeping on the floor. There were a few cobwebs around but Naruto just figured that was because the place was not used much.

"It's not much" Percy setting his bag down and looking around the cabin. "But I have loved coming here ever since I was little."

"I can see why. The beach outside and with the ocean. A warm campfire just outside with marshmallows. It sounds pretty perfect if you ask me."

It reminded Naruto slightly of nights he would be out of missions with Team 7 and they would camp out in the forests. It always made Naruto feel good and he enjoyed the feel of the wind in his face as the nights cool breeze would hit his face making his whole body tingle.

"Yeah it is but for my mom there was always another reason" Percy said as he looked out the window and saw his mom walking towards the cabin. "This is where she met my dad" he said getting a look of surprise from Naruto.

"I see. You don't talk about him much?"

"I never met him. Not that I can remember meeting him anyway. Maybe the barest trace of a smile but that it. From what my mom told me he was a very rich and powerful but he was very sweet. Apparently I have his eyes and his hair. They spent their time here on the beach but when my mom found out she was carrying me he had to leave on business. He went over sea and never came back."

"She said he was lost at sea. Not dead. Just lost at sea. She doesn't like to talk about him much. It makes her sad."

Naruto looked at the incoming figure of Sally and couldn't help but feel a little bit of sadness for her. She was a good woman who unfortunately had a lot of bad things happen to her in her life. From what he saw she never got angry and she welcomed Naruto with open arms. Something he would always be grateful for.

Looking at her now on this beech she looked happy. Like years had been taken of her and made her younger.

"I guess places that make you happy just have that effect on you" Naruto thought before he went to unpack.

When Sally got back the trio quickly unpacked and made their way outside so they could enjoy the cool air. Since it was summer the sand was warm when stepped on but the moment they dipped their feet in the water it was as cold as ice.

It made Naruto want to run back onto the beach but yet Percy and Sally were both perfectly fine with it. He figured the two were just use to it.

After some swimming in the ocean they went back onto the beach and played a little baseball. They took turns at who batted, who pitched and played the field. Naruto easily won that since with his shinobi training and great athleticism it made him a pretty great athlete all around. Even Percy did pretty well too surprising Naruto since Percy never really showed any interest in sport back at Yancy.

After that the day change to night and the moon was high in the sky causing the ocean to glitter and gleam just like it did during the day. But Naruto found it to be more beautiful under the gaze of the moon. He felt energized being under it, like he could go ten rounds Gaara and Shukaku again and come out on top.

The trio sat around a cosy campfire as they roasted marshmallows on the end of a stick and made idle chat.

"Mom…what was dad like?" Percy asked with some courage. Sally put down her stick with the marshmallow gently on the ground trying to avoid getting sand on the marshmallows. The look on her face told Naruto that Percy must have asked that question a lot. Plus being here where they met just spurred it on.

"He was kind, Percy. He was tall, handsome, and powerful. But he was also very gentle, too. You have his eyes and hair."

"How old was I?" Percy asked pushing for more answers. "I mean ... when he left?"

Sally watched the flames as they flickered around. "He was only with me for one summer, Percy. It was right here on this beach where we spent our time together.

"But he knew me as a baby right?"

"No, honey. He knew I was expecting a baby, but he never saw you. He had to leave before you were born."

Percy nodded obviously feeling a little hurt that his father never really met him.

"What about you Naruto?" Sally asked catching the blondes attention. "You never talk about your parents. What were they like?" She was curious about the blonde's parentage since he never spoke about them. She knew he was an orphan but that was it. Even Percy didn't fully know the details on Naruto's parentage. It was a touchy subject for the blonde.

"I wish I knew. From what I have been told my father died the day I was born. Apparently he did love me and he held me in his arms once but then afterwards he had to leave and he died later that day. I was told my mom died but then from others I was told she abandoned me."

"It was never easy not knowing who your parents are. I only discovered who mine were a few months ago" he said surprising the two Jacksons.

"You didn't know who your own parents were?" Sally said in slight disbelief. Naruto shook his head.

"The people I stayed with thought it was best that I didn't know who they were."

"But that completely unfair. Why should you be denied knowing your parents" Percy asked, even he didn't know that. He could not imagine ever not knowing who his mom was.

Naruto shrugged. "I never understood why they did it either but there you go. But they are people that I will most likely never see again. There in the past" he said with Percy nodding understanding why while Sally kept quiet.

"Then just before I joined Yancy I got a letter from my mom telling me how sorry she was that she had to leave me and that we would meet one day but I would have to be patient. She said something about her family having rules about not being able to raise their children."

While Percy thought that was a little odd Sally mind was reeling and just stared at Naruto. "Is it possible Naruto is like Percy?" she thought

The conversation went quiet for a bit before things picked up. Percy asked Sally what they were going to since Percy would need to find a new school. Sally told them they would have to find something for him. While Percy was beginning to wonder whether Sally actually wanted him around which caused Sally to get a little teary eyed and hug her son close Naruto just sat and ate his marshmallow. What he wouldn't give just to be able to spend a little bit of time with his mom just like Percy and Sally.

"Naruto" Sally said getting the blondes attention. He saw Sally standing in front of him and Percy getting up. "We're going to head in now. Don't be too late" she said giving him a quick peck to the forehead.

"Sure" he said blushing a little. "I'll be in a little while. I just want to enjoy the night for a little while longer."

The two nodded before they walked inside the cabin and gently shut the door. Naruto took a breath before he got of the log he was sitting on and laid down on the sand and looked up at the stars in the sky. It had felt like forever since he just looked up at the stars but with training, studying and school it took up most of his time.

The stars in the sky was slightly different to the ones back in the Elemental Nations and he took an interest in learning the different constellations.

The stars all twinkled brightly as he stared up at them from his spot. He saw the Andromeda, Orion, Virgo, Ursa Major, Hercules, Scorpius constellations and smiled.

He wondered if his mom enjoyed looking at the stars just like he did and thought if they ever met which he was hoping they would someday, she would stargaze with him. All parents had a something that they and their children did and shared together. Perhaps looking up at the night sky and watching the stars could be there's.

After what felt like forever Naruto got up a stretched before taking one last look at the moon high in the sky.

"I hope we meet soon" Naruto said quietly before he trudged along the sand and went inside the cabin.

He got some pyjamas from one of the draws and quietly went to the bathroom and got changed. Afterwards he went to the free bottom bunk of the bunk bed since Percy had the top and Sally was on the small double bed.

He closed his eyes and let sleep take over.

However little did he know that as he walked away from the fire and entered the cabin, a pair of warm chocolate brown eyes formed in the fire and watched him go with care evident in her eyes.

"You will see her soon my dear Naruto. You just need to wait a little longer" a quiet feminine voice said before disappearing completely and left only a small fire left burning.


Later on that night

Naruto's eyes shot open and he pushed himself up from the bed and threw the covers of his body.

His eyes widened when a lot of information began pouring into his head for a few seconds before it eventually stopped.

The clone that he had sent to follow and keep track of Grover had finally dispelled and it made his eyes widen.

He shot of off the bed making a thud that woke Sally along with Percy. However Percy had a slightly freaked out expression on his face making Naruto think he just had some kind of nightmare.

"Naruto is everything okay?" Sally asked before Naruto shot towards the door. Naruto swung the door wide open only to reveal a huffing Grover that had his arm ready to knock on the cabin door. He looked at Naruto a little surprised.

"I have been searching all night," he gasped. "What were you both thinking?"

"He made me" Naruto said pointing towards Percy who looked like he was still waking up. However when Naruto stepped back and took a proper look at Grover his eyes widened lightly. He got the memories of the clone but couldn't quite believe it. Yet here Grover was with the bottom of a goat for legs.

"You want to explain this?"Naruto said pointing down at Grover's furry legs and towards the hoofs where his feet should be.

"Later right now we have to get you and Percy out of here."

Just then a thunderstorm sounded out through the area and the winds began picking up. Sally was out of bed with a long blue robe covering her pyjamas. She took one look at Grover before a face of terror made its way to her. She quickly turned around and looked straight at Percy.

"Percy," she said, shouting to be heard over the rain. "What happened at school? What didn't you tell me?"

"We don't have time to talk. It's right behind me. We have to go now."

Sally continued to look straight at Percy and then glanced over towards Naruto. "What did you boys not tell me?"

Percy was still to shocked to speak so Naruto began to tell her about the incident with Mrs Dodd's, overhearing Grover and Mr Brunner talk about them in Mr Brunner's office and then the weird old ladies that they saw when the bus broke down.

If possible Sally went even paler before she ran over and grabbed her purse. "Boys go and get in the car now."

Grover ran over towards the car though it was more like he was trotting over. He quickly opened all the doors to let people in as Sally, Percy and Naruto came running out of the cabin, all still wearing their pyjamas. They hopped into the car and once Sally got behind the wheel she floored it leaving a small trail of dust in her wake.

Naruto was sitting in the front seat beside her while Grover and Percy sat in the back.

They tore through the night as they made their way along the dark country roads. Wind was slamming against the Camaro. Rain lashed the wind shield. No one was sure how Sally could see where she was going but she continued to drive like she was on autopilot.

"So urm Grover you and my mom know each other?" Percy asked finally finding his voice.

"Sort off. She doesn't exactly know me but she knew I was watching over you. Both of you" he said looking at Naruto and the blonde nodding back.

"Little creepy but sure" Naruto said getting a mild glare from Grover.

"I was keeping tabs on you both. Making sure you were both okay. But I was not faking being your friend. I am your friend" Grover answered to the two boys.

"So Grover what exactly are you?" Naruto asked looking down at Grover's furry legs." I mean when my clone dispelled I was a little shocked."

"It doesn't- Wait clone?" He asked slightly confused. Sally did the same but Naruto waved it off.

"I'll explain later."

"Fine but to answer your question, well I'm a goat waist down" he said getting odd looked from Percy and Naruto before Naruto shrugged it off.

"I have seen weirder. If you're a goat waist down then you must be a...Satyr right?"

Now Grover looked a little surprised. "Yeah, how did you know?"

"In the letter I got form my mom she told me to brush up on Greek mythology. Well that and before my clone dispelled it heard you mumbling about Satyrs so I kind of put two and two together."

"Wait wait wait" Percy said shaking his head. "What is going on? I don't understand what is happening."

"Percy," Sally said, "there's too much to explain and not enough time. We have to get you and Naruto to safety."

"Safety from what?

"Oh, nobody much," Grover said while looking out the back window checking if anything was following them. "Just the Lord of the Dead and a few of his blood-thirstiest minions."

"Come again" Naruto asked not quite believing what he heard.

"Well mainly Percy since he is in the most danger but we need to get you away as well" he said before Grover realised what he said.

Percy and Naruto tried to wrap their mind around what was happening, but Percy couldn't do it. He was trying to convince himself that it was just a dream. But knew this wasn't a dream. He had no imagination. He knew he could never dream up something that was this weird.

It was then that Sally made a hard left along the road before the group found themselves driving past a large strawberry farm that had large wooden houses that looked darkened. There was also a large picket sign that said PICK YOUR OWN STRAWBERRIES.

"Were are nearly there" Naruto and Percy heard Grover and Sally mutter to themselves

"Where are we going?" Percy asked getting everyone's attention.

"The summer camp I told you about." Sally's voice was tight. Naruto looked at her face and could see her eyes beginning to get a little wet. He could tell she was struggling not to cry, not that he couldn't blame her.

"The place you said you didn't want me to go" Percy said causing Naruto to face palm. That was just going to make Sally feel bad.

"Please, dear," Sally begged. "This is hard enough. Try to understand. You're in danger."

"Because some old ladies cut some yarn."

"Those weren't old ladies," Grover said. "Those were the Fates. Do you know what it means—the fact they appeared in front of you? They only do that when you're about to ... when someone's about to die."

"Well that's just peachy" Naruto said rubbing his eyes while Percy and Grover began going over what Grover meant by him dyeing. Sally looked over at Naruto.

"Are you okay Naruto?" She asked in a worried tone.

"Huh oh yeah I'm okay. Just when I went to sleep a few hours ago the last thing I was expecting was to be driving down a road full throttle with my friend who turns out is Satyr that was supposed to be a Greek myth. Though with my luck, I'm not completely surprised. Weird things seem to follow me around."

"I know this is"- Sally cut got cut off when she made a sharp turn when a large figure suddenly appeared beside the car. She narrowly missed it

"What was that?" Percy asked but no one answered him.

It was all silent until a blinding flash lit up the area before the car suddenly went boom and caused the car to flip over and land on the ground upside down.

"Ow" Naruto said as he rubbed his head. He had hit the top of the car pretty hard and was sure that he was going to find a nice bump there later.

"Oh that can't be good" he muttered while he heard Sally ask if everyone was okay. Naruto looked down at the roof and now saw a large smouldering hole on the roof that had blackened edges around it and was still giving off small traces of smoke.

"Did we just get hit by lightning?" he thought to himself and saw everyone else thinking the same thing except for Grover who looked like he was knocked out from the hit. He had small drips of blood making its way out of his mouth. Naruto checked his pulse and sighed happily that his friend was still breathing and his pulse was still beating.

"Boys we have to get out of here" Sally said before the sound of loud stomping could be heard coming down the road. The group looked down the road to see a very large figure lumbering towards them. It looked as if something was covering his head and had their arms up high in the air like sharp points.

"Everyone out of the car now" Sally yelled as she and Naruto kicked their doors open and scrambled outside. Sally went round to help Percy out while Naruto got Grover out and fireman carried him.

"Boys do you see that giant Tree on top of the hill" she said as she pointed over to a large pine tree that towered over all the other tree's. "Head straight for it and don't stop. Get over that hill and you'll see a big farmhouse down in the valley. Run and don't look back. Yell for help. Don't stop until you reach the door."

"Mom you're coming too" Percy said as he grabbed his moms arm. Sally looked at him sadly.

"Mrs J we are not leaving you behind so don't even think about doing something stupid" Naruto said as he began to make his way towards the hill with Grover still on his back.

"Come on" Percy said as his hand grasped his moms and they began to follow after Naruto and Grover.

"Food" Grover groaned causing Naruto to chuckle.

"It's nice to know your having a good dream buddy. But you seriously need to cut down on the enchiladas."

ROOOOAAAARRRR

The running group slowed slightly when they heard the giant roar and when they turned their heads around to see what was happening they saw Gabe's car getting thrown out of the way like a ragdoll.

The large man kept running towards them causing small shockwaves through the earth and was making loud grunting and snorting noises. As he got closer Naruto and Percy saw that the man was easily over seven foot and had large meaty hands swaying from his side. His upper half was all furry and fuzzy. Is head was very large and bulky and was also covered in fur and fuzz. There was a shining ring going through its nose and on its head were two very large horns with very sharp points on the ends.

"Oh no" Sally said before she began to pick up the pace. "We have to go. It's after Percy but there is a chance it could be after you too Naruto. We have to be quick."

"Mom that thing. That looks like"-

"Don't say its name Percy. Names have power."

"Pasiphae's son," Naruto said. "Just like in the story of Theseus and the well bull man he said since names apparently had power.

"B-But how can it be real? Those were just myths" Percy said as he ran alongside Naruto his hand still grasping Sally's.

"Percy have you noticed yet that I'm currently carrying a Satyr on my back whose bottom half is that of a goat? Plus you know all about me being a shinobi. If they are real and Im real then all the rest must be. I think I'm beginning to see why my mom had me brush up on Greek mythology."

The group looked ahead and saw the pine tree was still way too far—a hundred yards uphill at least. Naruto was doing fine due to his shinobi training but Percy and Sally were beginning to struggle meanwhile the Minotaur was now beginning to catch up to the group as it was sniffing the air tracing after their scents.

"His sight and hearing are terrible," Sally said. "He is going by smell. But soon he'll figure out where we are soon enough."

On cue the bull man roared out in rage.

"Yeah like now" Naruto said as he got closer to the tree line.

"Wait until the last second, then jump out of the way— directly sideways. He can't change directions very well once he's charging." Both bys nodded though Percy nodded a little hesitantly.

Looking behind them they saw the bull man was picking up pace and getting closer and closer to them. The tree was still a little ways off but Naruto was almost there.

Naruto turned his head and his eyes widened when the Minotaur suddenly appeared behind Percy.

"PERCY JUMP OUT THE WAY NOW" Naruto shouted.

Not needing to be told twice Percy did just like instructed and duck and rolled to the right. The Minotaur went straight past him and ended up slamming into a tree.

Still running Naruto finally made it to the tree and placed Grover at the bottom of it before he turned around and began to make his way back down the hill to help Percy and Sally.

He saw Percy making his way up but looked in horror when he saw Sally running in the opposite direction and back towards the road.

"Go" Sally shouted. "I can't go with you. I will keep it distracted."

"Mom please don't" Percy shouted when he saw what his mom was trying to do.

However the Minotaur also saw what she was doing and charged right for her. As it got closer Sally tried to duck out of the way but the Minotaur had learnt its lesson and caught her in its giant hands.

"NO MOM/MRS J" the boys called out but it was already too late.

Sally looked at the boys one last time before the Minotaur squeezed and Sally disappeared in a golden light.

Percy looked in horror as he saw his mom disappeared in front of him and dropped to his knees while Naruto looked on in anger.

"I could have saved her if I had just been a bit quicker" he thought before he quickly snapped himself out of those thoughts.

"Come on we have to go. We can't let her sacrifice be in vein" Naruto said as he grabbed Percy by the arm and began to rush him over towards the tree where Grover was still currently lying.

However the Minotaur had turned its attention back to them and began to charge once again towards them.

"This thing does not give up" Naruto thought before he did a series of hand sighs.

"Wind Style Great Breakthrough" he shouted as he created a powerful force of wind to blow out of his mouth and slam into the Minotaur causing it's to fall onto its back and hit into a tree.

However the bull man didn't stay down for before it got back on its legs and charged.

As it got closer Naruto jumped out of the way but Percy was frozen solid with fear.

"PERCY GET OUT THE WAY" Naruto shouted. However just as the Minotaur got close Percy did something incredible. He tensed his legs and jumped into the air and used its head as a springboard and then wrapped his legs around its neck.

Naruto who saw the whole thing looked at Percy quiet impressed while Percy began tugging on the Minotaur's right horn. It looked like a bit of tug of war was going on until an audible snap was heard and Percy found himself on the ground with a Minotaur horn in his hands.

"Damn Percy" Naruto said before he saw the Minotaur look at Percy in rage. He was about to attack Percy while he was down but Naruto suddenly appeared above the Minotaur and delivered a deadly kick to the other Minotaur's horn snapping the left one off now as well.

However it began swinging its arms around in a mad frenzy and its hand smacked into Naruto's chest and Naruto defiantly heard a cracking sound.

"There goes a rib" he thought.

Naruto thankfully managed to land safely on the ground despite his chest hurting and he shot his right hand out and a blue spiral ball began to form. Once it got to the size of a basketball Naruto shot forward and delivered it to the creature abdomen.

"RASENGAN" he shouted as it impacted and blasted the creature right of the ground and sprawling on the ground smashing through multiple trees's before it finally stopped skidding along the ground.

Right where its abdomen was there was now a giant hole the size of a basketball.

However despite the wound the bull man was beginning to get back up. Naruto saw Percy was close to where it landed and shouted "PERCY FINISH IT." He then made a stabbing reference and pointed to Percy hand.

Percy looked at Naruto and then the horn in his hands before he put two and two together. He ran and appeared in front of the Minotaur which was still in the process of getting up before he swung the horn right into the Minotaur's chest.

The giant bull man roared out in pain before it slumped to the ground and disappeared and turned into golden dust.

"That was close" Percy thought but ran over to Naruto when he saw Naruto clutching his chest.

"Naruto are you okay?" he said before he suddenly found himself becoming very drowsy and was struggling to keep his eyes open. Just as he got to Naruto he slumped down to the ground blacked out.

Naruto was no better with the pain in his chest before he too fell to the ground and found himself looking up at the night sky.

It was only minutes later when he heard footsteps and a clopping sound coming from behind him.

He could just about make out two figures with slender bodies. He figured they must have been two girls with a much larger figure behind them but he couldn't quite make it out. One girl with blonde hair walked over to Percy and started muttering words he couldn't make out while the other girl walked towards him.

She knelt down and Naruto could see that she had raven black hair and had blue eyes. All Naruto could think about was how pretty she was.

"Chiron this one's hurt" he heard her say and heard clopping coming towards him.

She was the last thing he saw before he blacked out.


Chapter Four Completed

Just to let people know the girl at the end was Silena. I at first didn't know what she looked like since her appearance apparently keeps changing from book to book but i found a small article that said that Rick Riordan says she has black hair and blue eyes. So that is what her appearance will be like.

Just incase your wondering since you have probably already figured out who it was in the fire, since her eyes are always like flames I just chose chocolate brown eyes because it would match her hair and dress and worked better. Wouldn't make much sense in writing pair of fire eyes looking through a fire.

Also if people are wondering why Naruto was having a little bit of trouble with the Minotaur my answer would be he has not had a proper fight in over seven months so he is going to be a bit rusty. His training he did during Yancy Academy was stuff like chakra control, wind manipulation, staying in shape and improving his rasengan with one hand.

But don't worry. He will be super bad ass very soon.

Thanks for reading and please REVIEW :)
