"Return to Paradise"
OK, here is the story everyone was waiting for. Thank you for all the review on the oneshot of it, so here is the full adventure. Please enjoy and review!
In the Takaishi home, a certain mahogany haired girl dressed in a yellow tube top with jean shorts and beige gladiator sandals was bouncing around the kitchen in excitement.
It was the summer and Dai, TK and Matt were all going back to Camp Half-Blood to meet up with their friends and half-siblings.
Nancy looked over at the daughter of Hermes while TK was eating some watermelon, the woman laughing in amusement at how happy the girl looked.
"My, you look very eager to get to camp." Nancy commented.
"I am." Dai chirped.
TK shook his head as he made sure none of the juice from his snack dripped onto his green t-shirt or his jeans.
"What about you, dear?" Nancy asked her son.
"I'm looking forward to it, but not as much as Dai. As soon as summer came, she wouldn't shut up about going to camp to see Takuya, Koji and Koichi." TK said.
He tried to keep the bitterness out of his voice as he spoke about the three males.
Honestly, TK could understand why Dai wanted to be with Takuya since he is her half-brother and they got along very well.
But Koji and Koichi?
He wasn't stupid, TK knew that Koichi had strong feelings for Dai and Koji also seemed to have feelings for her, but TK just didn't know how strong they were.
Matt and he both made a promise to keep Dai away from the twins as much as they could and spend more time with her than they got to the first summer they went to Camp Half-Blood.
Speaking of the older teenager, he walked into the apartment with his bags ready to go.
"Hey, guys." He greeted.
"Mattie!" Dai shrieked as she jumped on him.
Matt quickly caught the girl as she jumped on him and held her as he dropped his bags while his guitar was trapped to his back.
"Nice to see you're still in a good mood." He commented while Nancy laughed.
"It's a nice change." The woman said.
Shaking his head, Matt set the girl down as he picked his bags back up.
"Argus is waiting for us. Let's go. See ya, Mom. Love you." he said as he gave the woman a hug.
TK got up and gave his mother a hug and then grabbed his own bags while Dai gathered up her bags.
"Love you Mom." TK called.
"Bye Nancy!" Dai called.
"Have fun kids!" Nancy called.
The three took off down to the street where the taxi that Argus owned was parked and they ran off to the car.
(At camp…)
Koichi was looking at his reflection in his shield, checking his hair to see how it looked while Koji gave him a look of disbelief.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
The twins were in their room that they shared in the Ares cabin settling back into the swing of things when Koichi suddenly grabbed his shield and started to look over his reflection and primped.
"I'm just making sure I look good. Dai's going to be here any minute." Koichi said with a smile.
Koji rolled his eyes at that as he pulled out a sword made of celestial bronze and then set it up on a mantle he had made special for it.
"She's seen you covered in dirt and drenched in sweat. I'm pretty sure she won't care what you look like. She's not a daughter of Aphrodite." He said.
"Well, she's a special girl." Koichi said.
"So you told me about a million times. Besides, she also has that TK kid chasing after her." Koji reminded.
Everyone was amused by the love triangle going on between the Princess of Thieves, the Prince of Archery and the Prince of War as most of the campers were placing bets on who would win the girl's heart.
JP Shibiyama, the son of Hephaestus, ran into the room then and gave a sharp knock on their door.
"Hey, hurry up." He said.
"Why?" Koji asked.
"Takuya sent me. He said Dai, TK and Matt are going to be here in about three minutes." JP said.
"How does he know that?" Koichi asked.
"He saw the car." JP stated bluntly.
The twins sighed at the obvious answer before they got up and followed JP outside to see Zoe Orimoto, the daughter of Athena, was out there waiting at the gate with Takuya as the cab rolled up.
Dai was the first one out as she ran over to her brother and jumped into his arms and he swung her around.
"Hey, how's my baby girl?" he asked as they both laughed.
"Great, I couldn't wait to get back here to see you guys." She said as TK and Matt walked out and greeted Zoe since she was the one that taught them their archery skills.
Argus got out and started unloading the bags, each one being a specific color so they knew which one belonged to which camper.
TK had green bags while Matt's were blue and Dai's were orange.
"Hey, welcome back." Koji said.
Dai looked over and rushed to the long haired boy, hugging him while TK frowned at this missing the days she wasn't so touchy feely with other people.
"Hey, how are you guys?" Dai asked as she then pulled away from Koji and hugged Koichi next who blushed faintly at the contact with her warm body.
"We're great." Koichi said.
"So did anything change here?" Matt asked.
"Oh, we have some Pegasi for races." Zoe said.
"Seriously? That's great." TK smirked.
Riding a winged horse through the skies?
He had that in the bag with all of the times he rode on Pegasusmon in the Digital World so he could easily show off his own skills.
"Yeah, it sounds like fun. TK's an expert so he can help you guys out if you need it." Dai said making the blonde puff up in pride.
"Nice to know." Koji said sarcastically as he rolled his eyes.
How could the guy make it so obvious he liked the girl and yet she remained completely clueless to his feelings for her?
"We also have a satyr here to help us out when we need it." JP said.
"Wow, big changes." Matt said.
"Aw, you'll catch up easy. Come on, let's get you settled in. we also have a new brother for you to meet." Takuya said as he picked his sister up and slung her over his shoulder and then grabbed her bags.
"Taku, put me down!" she laughed as he ran off.
The others all watched this with amused grins before they went back to get to their own cabins to get ready for the welcome back dinner.
"So, when are you going to tell her?" Koji asked his brother.
"I don't know. When the time is right." Koichi said.
"When will that be? You've had plenty of chances to tell her last summer, but you skipped out. Either you tell her or I will." Koji threatened.
Koichi pouted at that, but nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, Takuya and Dai were at the cabin and walked inside to see all of the other kids inside, two boys who weren't claimed yet by their godly parent looked over at them.
"Hey, our Princess is back!" Takuya called.
Taiki and Tagiru ran over, both boys hugging the girl around the waist while another boy who had brown hair and blue eyes walked over.
"Welcome back, Dai." Taiki said.
"We missed you." Tagiru said.
"I missed you guys too. So who's this guy?" Dai asked.
"I'm Kazu, the new Prince of Thieves!" he said with a toothy grin.
"He just got claimed yesterday and he was brought here by the new satyr." Takuya explained.
"Nice to meet cha." Dai said.
Just then, someone knocked on the door to make them all look over to see a satyr with curly brown hair looking in on them.
"Hello, I need to speak with Daisuke." He said.
"That's me." she said.
"Great. I'm Grover. Chiron sent me because he needed to speak with you right away." He said.
The kids in the cabin were confused by this, but Dai followed Grover out to go speak with Chiron to see what the problem was about while Takuya had a worried look on his face.
Grover led Dai into the building where the horseman was, then walked inside to see a boy that was about 18 with black hair and green eyes that reminded her of the sea.
"Here she is, Perce." Grover said.
"Thanks, man. I'll take it from here." The male said.
The satyr nodded at this as she turned and left the building.
"So who're you?" Dai asked.
He looked surprised at this.
"You don't know who I am?" he asked.
"Uh, no." she said.
Chiron then walked over from around the corner and smiled at the two half-bloods.
"Ah, good to see you here. I believe some introductions are in order. Daisuke Motomiya, daughter of Hermes." He said as he stood next to the boy.
"Meet Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon." Chiron said.
At that, Dai's jaw dropped when the name was spoken and she looked over at the son of Poseidon.
"Him? You're that guy who went to the Underworld, to the Sea of Monsters and all that other stuff?" she asked.
"Yeah, that'd be me." Percy smiled.
"Why're you here now?" she asked.
Chiron cleared his throat.
"You see, something that belonged to your father has gone missing a few years ago while he was on a delivery and it has recently been found." He explained.
"And what is this thing?" Dai asked.
"The Caduceus." Percy said.
She had a look of pure shock on her face when she heard this news, then glared up at the sky.
"Dad, get your slimly, lying, thieving carcass down here NOW!" she yelled making the males cringe at the loud sound.
Just then, a golden blur shot into the room revealing the Messenger God standing there in front of his only daughter.
"Hey, sweetie. Did you miss me?" he asked.
"Can it." she said.
"Oh, boy. You're pissed." Hermes sighed.
"Ya think?" Dai responded.
Hermes shook his head as he gave a nervous smile as he realized he was in deep trouble with his only daughter.
"What did I do?" he asked.
"You lost your Caduceus. How do you lose something that important? I'm starting to see where I get my stupidity comes from." She spat back.
"Wow, she's not really Daddy's Little Princess is she?" Percy asked.
Chiron chuckled at this.
"Hermes, your daughter here is going on her first quest to find your Caduceus." He said.
The blonde male looked surprised at this and then smiled proudly at the girl.
"Your first quest? Oh, my baby!" he exclaimed going to hug the girl.
"Don't." she warned making him step back.
"You never showed love to your sons, so don't spoil me." she said.
"Fine. So who do you plan on taking with you? One of my strapping boys I trust." Hermes said.
"Yes, you'll need to take two others with you on your quest. It is traditional for there to be only three members on a team." Chiron said.
Dai bit her lip to think this over, her mind going off to the five important males in her life that were at the camp, trying to decide which duo of out them she should take with her.
"Come on, she doesn't have to only take two. I mean, on a few quests I've taken more people with me on plenty of quests." Percy said.
He walked over to Dai and ruffled up her hair which made her pout at him as he smiled teasingly at her.
"Let her take as many friends she wants with her. They'll all be fine." The son of Poseidon said.
Shaking his head at this, Chiron gave a smile.
"Very well. Daisuke, I'll allow you to take whomever you want with you. you and your group will set out tomorrow. Rest up and prepare yourselves well." He said.
"Thanks, Chiron. You too, Percy." Dai nodded them.
Looking at her father who seemed a bit dejected, she rolled her eyes and kissed his cheek which made Hermes perk up at the show of affection.
"See ya later guys." She said as she walked out.
The three males watched her walk off to go see her favoured males with the good news and then to get more information on where to find the missing object.
"You know she's gonna be pissed at seeing the Oracle. She hates prophecies and hearing the whole rhyme will annoy her to no ends. If she hears it, I can bet she'll bitch at you." Hermes smirked.
"I don't blame her. Seeing the Oracle wasn't my favorite part of journeys. She always freaked me out." Percy said.
Dai ran off to the mess hall where she knew Matt, TK, Koichi and Koji would be at, Takuya was on his way there as well so she jumped up on his back making him gasp, but wrap his arms around her legs to hold her there when he saw the familiar arms going around his neck.
"Hey, what's got you so happy, baby girl?" he asked.
"I got my first quest and was wondering if my favorite brother wanted to come." She said.
He smiled big at this as he continued walking along to the mess hall, spotting the Apollo brothers speaking to each other while the Ares brothers looked over to them and walked over.
"So what's going on?" Koji asked.
"I got some big news." Dai said.
"Very big." Takuya said as he set her down on the ground.
"What is it?" Koichi asked.
"TK! Matt! Get over here now!" Dai called making the two blondes jump as they turned and walked over.
"We're not in trouble are we? Normally yelling means trouble." TK said.
"Especially if it's a girl who knows how to use a sword." Matt joked.
"Just tell us why Chiron needed to see you." Takuya said confusing the twins and blondes.
"Chiron needed to see you? What about?" Matt asked.
"I got my first quest." Dai said.
They all smiled at this happily, Takuya pulling her into a hug.
"That's great." TK said.
"So who's going with you?" Koji asked.
"Me, duh." Takuya said.
"Obviously." Koji rolled his eyes while Koichi chuckled at that.
TK frowned at this knowing there was only one spot left.
"Who else?" he asked.
She smiled big at them all.
"That's the best part. Percy Jackson was there and he convinced Chiron to let me bring as many people as I wanted on this quest." She said nearly bouncy in her spot as she clung to her brother's arm.
The males all shared a look at this as they wondered what she meant by this.
"So…who else is going?" Koichi asked.
"My five favorite guys, duh." Dai chirped as she looked them all over.
Matt, Koji, TK, Koichi and Takuya all shared wary glances at each other as they felt unsure of whether or not this would be a good idea for the six of them being together on this mission.
