Chapter 2: Talks, Choices And The Sun God!
The two sisters were taking a quiet stroll in the woods.
Naruko felt kind of awkward. Mostly because her sister was quiet and they haven't been talking to each other ever since they began walking. Since Naruko is kind of talkative she had to say something because her fear is quietness!
That's her major fear! Well...not exactly. You're gonna find out what her number one fear is!
"Er, so..." Naruko whistled.
"So..." Bianca said as well not comfortable with the awkwardness.
Naruko scratched the back of her head, "Uh...do you promise not to tell anyone this?" She asked.
"What?"
"I'm going to tell you what I'm afraid of. Do not tell anyone! Swear on the River Styx!"
"...Okay? I swear on the River Styx to never tell anyone Naruko's fear?" Bianca jumped in surprise at hearing a loud thunder-like boom. She looked around, "Does that happen a lot?!"
Naruko nodded, "Yeah. Once you swear on the Styx the Fates are watching. And if you break the swear then they'll just snip your string and you'll go bye-bye," She shrugged and her little sister gulped, "But uh, my fear," She leaned down to whisper in Bianca's ear, "I'm scared of midgets," She quickly lifted her head up.
Bianca looked at her weirdly then broke out into laughter. Naruko frowned then pouted like a child.
Bianca caught her breath keeping a small smile. "Sorry, it's just that...I never thought you'd be afraid of midgets. That's a funny fear."
"It is not!" Her fear was not funny! So don't laugh...
Bianca waved that off, "You're right," She said, "I just feel like I deserve to be in the Nut House."
"The Nut House!" Naruko repeated with a growl, "No child of Hades should go there. We aren't the most ha ha ha, cool under the fire kind of Demigods. We totally have a problem with holding grudges. It's very dangerous. It's been dangerous ever since Adolf was fighting."
The younger Daughter of Hades dark eyes widened. "Oh my God...I'm Hitler's sister?"
"Yeah. Worst thing ever, right?"
"No kidding..." Bianca mumbled. There was a question she wanted ask ever since they started walking through the woods. So why not ask now? "Naruko?" The older girl raised a brow, "Do you know those people back there?" She asked pointing back at where Artemis's Hunters were setting up camp.
Naruko puckered her lips to the side before nodding, "I just met Percy. But the others? Yeah."
"How do you know them?"
That's when Naruko's expression fell and she stopped walking to look down. Bianca saw this and cursed herself for asking that. Stupid question! Just stupid!
"S-Sorry Naruko. You don't have to answer that."
The blonde lifted her head wiping a tear away from her eye, "No, it's okay. I just get a little emotional when people ask me that. But if must know...Annabeth, Thalia and Grover are my best friends. I traveled around a lot with Thalia and a guy named Luke because I ranaway from my home. If you're wondering why did I runaway? It's because the people there treated me harshly and judged me by what was sealed inside of me," Bianca bit her lip at hearing that, "Anyways, we soon met Annabeth who also ranaway from her home. So the four of us traveled fighting monsters and stuff. Then Grover found us and escorted us back to Camp Half Blood..." Her shoulders tensed, "On the way, Father, he sent the deadliest of monsters from Tartarus just to capture Thalia because she's Zeus's kid. I don't know why but he wanted the monsters to kill me as well. We were all tired and weak and camp was just a up a bit further. Thalia said for us to keep going so that she could hold off the monsters, Annabeth and I begged for her to come with us. But she ignored us shouting for us to go when the monsters came running towards us. So we left and...and...Thalia died fighting. She was a hero and Zeus took pity on her turning her into a tree. A stupid tree! When we went inside of camp I only stayed for a year then left. I went to the Underworld, I met Father and his wife Persephone. She hates me."
"Does she hate all of Dad's children?" The dark haired girl asked. When she goes to the Underworld with Nico and Naruko she didn't want Persephone to be hating her.
"...Zeus cheats on Hera. Does she hate him?"
"Err, yes?"
"He has children with mortals and Goddesses, does she hate his Demigod and Godly kids?"
"Yeah."
"So of course Persephone hates all of Father's children!" Naruko exclaimed throwing her hands up, "It's the natural order of things," Bianca rolled her eyes, "But, I'm just happy that Thalia is alive and well. She's gotten more punker the last time I saw her."
Bianca noticed the small blush that slowly crept onto the older girl's cheeks. This made Bianca raise a brow. Did Naruko have some kind of crush on Thalia? She wanted to ask but decided to keep that to herself. Didn't want any drama to break loose.
"Come on. We better get back to the others before they start to worry."
Grover grinned placing down some cards while Nico study his own. Percy noticed the grin on his best friends lips and raised a brow.
"Why are you grinning?"
The satyr looked up. "What? Am I not allowed to grin?"
"Uh," Percy then saw Naruko and Bianca walk out of the woods, "Oh! Here comes that Naruko girl and Bianca."
Naruko passed by Nico ruffling his dark hair, he frowned trying to fix his now messy hair. She now stood in front of Percy who felt uncomfortable just by locking eyes with her. "Perseus Jackson," Percy now felt his hand inching over to his pocket to take out his pen. Only monsters said his true name, "Son of Poseidon you almost put my friends and my siblings in danger. But since I am a forgivable person...I'll let you slide this time."
He tried to swallow the lump that formed in his throat as her eyes turned dark like Hades.
"Next time, I swear to Gods I will banish you to my Father's realm," She swore darkly and sweat dripped down Percy's face, "Understood?"
"Y-Yeah...s-sure..."
Naruko now placed on a small smile. "Good. Now I can go back to my normal self," She sighed running her finger through her blonde hair, "Mm, where's Lia?" She asked looking around. She was happy that her close friend wasn't a tree anymore. The girl could stretch her legs now! All of a sudden she yelped clutching the back of her head sniffling because of the pain.
"That's what you deserve," Thalia grumbled shaking her fist that sent to the back of Naruko's head just seconds ago.
The blonde turned around facing the Daughter of Zeus with a wince rubbing her head, "I get it, I get it. You're pissed at me because you found out I stole your charm bracelet two days before you were turned into a tree," She said and her eyes widened. She quickly slapped her hand over her mouth.
Thalia felt her eye twitch, she knitted her brows at the Daughter of Hades who smiled sheepishly. "I knew it was you!"
Annabeth then joined the conversation with a small frown. "Thalia, you said that I took it. I was trying to tell you Naruko did it!"
"Ya know what? When we should put this behind us...that was, what? Seven, or six years ago. So now," Naruko wrapped her arms around their shoulders, "we forget that ever happened. Who loves me?" She grinned.
"I don't." The punk girl threw Naruko's arm off her shoulder.
She smirked with a light chuckle, "Seriously, Lia? I could have sworn you loved me." She winked at Thalia who flushed biting her lip turning away. Naruko sighed pulling Annabeth into a hug, "Oh Annabeth, I missed you so much," She whispered in the younger blonde's ear. Annabeth threw her arms around Naruko waist pulling her closer and the hug becoming tighter.
"I missed you too..."
"Don't worry, this time I'm not leaving. I promise."
The sound of someone clearing their throat made the two girls break away and turning to the person who made the sound. It was Zoe.
Thalia groaned walking up to the Hunter. "What is it, Zoe?"
Zoe shot Thalia a deadly glare pretending to shoot arrows and daggers at her, "M'Lady has requested that," She now shot the glare to Percy, "you," She now shot it to Naruko, "ugh, and thou, come along with Bianca."
"Okay," Naruko sighed then frowned at Zoe, "Why do you always 'ugh' me?"
"Even if I told thou you'd still be as dumb as a rock," Zoe spun on her heels marching away.
Naruko now had a dumbfounded look, she then drew in the air as if she were trying understand what Zoe meant. She paused and fire grew in her eyes. "That Huntress! She's saying a rock is smarter than me! Ooh...I'll get that bitchy Zoe back! If it's the last damn thing I do!" She thought balling her fists then taking deep breaths slowly to calm down. She's related to Zeus, so of course she'll angered easily.
"Ooh!" Nico raised his hand looking up from his game with Grover. He turned to Naruko, "Can I come?" He asked practically begging.
She walked over to him ruffling his hair and knelt down to be his height, "Sorry, bud, girls only," She then remembered that Percy was coming, "Let me rephrase that...sorry, bud, people over eleven only."
"No fair," The Son of Hades mumbled with a pout.
Naruko smiled softly at him. "When we come back I promise that I'll play that Mythomagic game with you."
His dark eyes lit up as did his entire face. "Really?!"
"Really, really." Naruko promised then looked over at Grover, "G, why don't you and Nico continue playing?" Grover silently begged not to let him...he thought this was a bit geeky. And he always ended up dying! Naruko silently threatened him and he sweated bullets hurrying over to Nico.
"C-C-Come on, Nico." Grover quickly sat down next to the boy picking up some cards and figurines of different Gods.
Naruko rubbed her forehead muttering, "And now I must deal with my Aunt and her Lieutenant."
"Join us, Percy Jackson," The Goddess of the Moon said pointing at the pillow across from her on the tent floor. Percy took his seat, Naruko was next to Artemis (which angered Zoe who wanted to sit next to her Lady, but she had to sit next to, ugh, Naruko who kept sticking her tongue out at her), Bianca was on Artemis's other side looking extremely uncomfortable chewing on her bottom lip. Artemis turned to her niece, "Did you tell young Bianca about my offer?" She asked and Naruko smiled sheepishly.
Bianca frowned pausing abusing her bottom lip, "Wait...what offer?"
The blonde chuckled nervously waving off the question, "Nothing! Nothing!" Both Zoe and Artemis shot Naruko a stern look. She glared at Zoe who huffed but glanced down at the floor, "I am sorry, Lady Artemis. I should have told Bianca, but I didn't want to, I shouldn't make choices for others."
"It is alright Naruko," The Goddess nodded lightly understanding.
Percy held up his hands like a stop-everything-for-a-second gesture, "Hold on...what kind of offer?"
The whiskered girl cleared her throat before speaking, "A offer where Lady Artemis asks a female if they would like to join her Hunt. When they join," She lost her voice but she coughed a little to regain it, "her and become maidens."
Percy had to admit, he looked kind of lost. But then something clicked in his mind. "So, you guys just go around recruiting Half Bloods or someth-"
"Not just Half bloods," Zoe interrupted facing Percy with a look of disgust in her eyes that were directed at him, M'Lady does not discriminate by birth. All who honor the Goddess," She frowned at Naruko who scrunched her nose at her, "may join. Half Bloods, Nymphs, Mortals-"
"Which are you then?"
Anger flashed in Zoe's eyes like she was getting ready to kill the Water Boy.
"A word of advice Perseus?" Naruko spoke up.
"People call me Percy."
"Who cares?" Naruko asked and he shut his mouth immediately with a click, "But, uh, if you want to have a bunch of friends...think before you speak. And don't ask personal questions. You may just lose a friend," She then whipped her sun-kiss blonde hair to the side, this made Percy have a faint blush on his tan cheeks.
Percy turned to Bianca, "You can't join them! Nico can't be a Hunter!"
"Absolutely not," Artemis agreed, "He will just go to camp. That is all a boy's good for anyways."
"Hey!" Percy frowned. No it was not, boys could do other things beside go to camp. They could read, eat...some other things..."You cannot join them Bianca! It's nuts! It's-"
"Just let her choose, Son of Poseidon," The blonde girl muttered.
Percy grinded his together shooting up from his pillow, "No! She has to come to camp with me, Grover, Thalia and Annabe-"
Naruko glared at him, "Please. Sit. Down," Percy reluctantly sat back down on his pillow.
The Son of Poseidon eyes averted over to Naruko. "She's your sister. Why aren't you saying anything?"
The eldest Daughter of Hades took a deep breath to calm herself. "Son of Poseidon, I want you to know that I don't hate you, but please shut the fuck up. The reason I'm not saying anything is because it's her choice."
Zoe looked over to Bianca, "Make thy choice," She said softly.
Bianca had a million of thoughts racing through her mind, the most important was: Should she join the Hunt or Go to Camp Half Blood with her sister, brother and the others? She finally made her choice, but prayed it was the right one, "I-I choose to stay with my brother and sister so I can go to camp. I'm sorry Lady Artemis."
Percy and Naruko quietly cheered. This caught the attention of Zoe who mumbled some threating and old fashioned things about the two.
"I understand," Artemis said, "I have my own brother to look after."
A blush then spread across the blonde's face this made Percy raise a brow along with Bianca. She scratched her left temple clearing her throat, "...So, how is that bastard?"
Artemis massaged both of her temples. "Horrible."
Naruko chuckled rubbing the back of her neck, "Well when I see him I'll tell him to stop bothering you and your Hunters."
"Good. Because you will be telling him soon."
Her blue eyes widened. "As in...now? Now, now?"
"Yes," The Goddess nodded, "I called him, he will take you, your friends and my Hunters to camp. That reminds me," She looked over at Percy, "I need for you," She then poked Naruko's arm causing the girl to pout rubbing her arm, "and you to escort my Hunters there."
"Okay, I guess." Percy said.
Before Naruko could speak she was interrupted by Zoe. "Artemis, we do not need babysitters. We know how to handle ourselves."
"Well you sure act like it," Percy thought rolling his sea green eyes.
"Don't need a babysitter?" Naruko repeated, "What? Scared you'll be put in timeout?" She joked. Bianca chuckled along with Percy. This made Zoe flush in embarrassment, "Don't have a big head, I'm just kidding with you. By the way, have you told Arty 'bout your not-so-secret crush on me?" She asked and Zoe gaped along with Percy and Bianca. Artemis raised a brow at this.
Zoe gritted her teeth feeling her flush grow even more. It felt like she was blushing too hard, "I would never fall for someone that is stupid like thou. I will never be in love," She then took a deep breath narrowing her eyes at the blonde, "Thou art a," She started, what it sounded like cursing at Naruko who could not make out what she was saying mostly because it was in old fashion.
"Temper, temper," The blonde waved her finger with a tisk. Zoe wanted to snap that finger off badly. Naruko hopped to her feet with a smile and her hands on her hips.
"We better go see if Mr. Sunny Side is out there."
When Naruko, Bianca and Percy walked out of the tent, the eldest Daughter of Hades told Bianca to go play with her brother which she nodded to. That's when Thalia, Grover and Annabeth huddled around the two with anxious to hear what happened inside the tent.
"So what happened?" Annabeth asked anxiously.
Percy sighed, "She just asked Bianca if she wanted to join them. But she turned them down. And it looks like Naruko and I will have to escort the Hunters to camp."
Grover turned pale along with Annabeth. "Last time the Hunters were there...it didn't exactly go too well."
"All I'm wondering is how the hell did they get here so quick?" Percy wondered, "They just popped out!"
"They were probably hunting around here," Naruko answered.
"Bianca didn't join those bastards, she's smart for that," Thalia smiled as if she won a major game. Naruko couldn't help but think that her smile was cute.
The mocha colored satyr pouted. "But eternity with Artemis. That's like heaven for satyrs."
Naruko palmed her face with a sigh, "Satyrs...won't you understand that Artemis won't love you back?"
"But she's so...into nature," Grover swooned drooling a bit, this made him earn a whack to the head by Thalia. He bleated clutching his head.
"That's why we have Nymphs," Annabeth said with a eye roll, "They're into nature too. They sort of live in it."
"Good point," Percy agreed shooting the Daughter of Athena a small smile. She returned it to him with a tint of pink on her cheeks, Naruko noticed this and smirked.
But then she groaned once there was a familiar bright light in the sky. Artemis walked up next to her niece with her arms folded over her chest.
She muttered, "About time."
"I know right?" Naruko said looking up at the sky with her Aunt, "The guy is so damn lazy during the Winter. I'm never going to a Mall with him again to get some Hot Chocolate."
"You two are, um, waiting for the sunrise?" Percy asked standing looking up at the sky with them. The blonde snickered with a grin glancing at Artemis who looked as if she were trying very hard not to curse the boy out. Did he not know anything about Greek Mythology?
"For my idiotic brother. Yes."
There was now a huge light and heat wave. Artemis covered her eyes and advised for everyone else to do the same. When the light died down the snow that was on the ground and on the trees were now melted off. Turned into puddles?
Yep.
Parked in front of Artemis was a bright red Maserati Spyder that glistened with now liquid snow. Percy's sea green eyes sparkled at the car in awe. It's like he fell in love with it just instantly. The driver got out of the car slamming the door shut with a foxy grin that would probably melt any girls heart. The guy had wavy sandy blonde hair, tan skin and sky blue eyes that were covered by obsidian black sunglasses. He looked somewhere between seventeen or eighteen, and he seemed to have a lean built.
"Wow," Thalia slightly blushed staring at the guy, "Apollo's a babe."
Naruko scowled at hearing that from the Daughter of Zeus. She did not want to hear that from her!...Wait, why did she care about what Thalia thought about Apollo? It isn't like she's jealous, right? She's not jealous so don't ask.
...Maybe a little...
"Little sister!" Apollo beamed at seeing his twin running over to her. She looked annoyed as hell, "Whazzup? You never call or write! You had me worried!"
Artemis sighed in annoyance. "I am fine, brother. And for the last time...I AM NOT YOUR LITTLE SISTER!"
"I was born first. Ask Mom."
"I don't need to ask Mother! I know who was born first, it was me! I helped her give birth to you! How many more millennia-"
"So, what's up?" The Sun God interrupted, "See you got the girls with you. Need some tips on archery?"
Artemis gritted her teeth, "I need a favor. I have some hunting to do, alone. I need you to take my companions to Camp Half Blood."
"Sure, sis!" He grinned. His sky blue eyes then averted over to Naruko and his face lit up. Literally, "Babe! You never call or write! I was worried! Did you kick Madara and Obito's ass?!"
Naruko rolled her bright blue eyes, "First off, I'm not your 'babe'...anymore."
Percy blinked. "...W-Wait, anymore?"
"I used to go out with this bastard," Naruko grumbled. Everyone -except the Hunters and Artemis- looked surprised by this, "But I don't anymore cause I broke up with him."
"Over something stupid!" Apollo pouted.
"It wasn't stupid!"
"Yes it was! You know you loved for me to fuc-" That's when Naruko flushed slapping her hand over his mouth with a sheepish look. The Hunters scowled, Artemis shook her head in shame and the others blushed.
Naruko took her hand off the God of Prophecies mouth with a glare, "Let's talk about something else. Shall we?" She roughly stomped on Apollo's foot and he cried out holding back tears.
"Yep, yep, yep!" He cried out and groaned once she removed her foot. When she cleared her throat placing on a smile he leaned down over to her ear whispering, "I still love you."
"Shut the fuck up!" She cried her voice turning high pitched, "I'll maul your Sunny Side as-"
Apollo then held up his hands in a stop-speaking-please motion. The Hunters, Artemis and Naruko knew what was coming next. "I have...a haiku coming on!" The Hunters, Artemis and Naruko groaned loudly. He cleared his throat dramatically holding up one hand, "Green grass breaks through snow. Artemis pleads for my help. Naruko wants me back. I am so cool." He grinned waiting for applause.
"The middle and last line were only four syllables. And if I'm not mistaken, haikus only have three lines," Artemis said.
"Really?" Apollo frowned.
The eldest Daughter of Hades snapped her fingers with a winning grin. "Got it! How about, 'Naruko only wants to be friends, I am such an asshole?'"
"No, no, sweetheart," Apollo waved her off rubbing his chin in a thinking position. She glared at him for calling her 'sweetheart', "That's eleven syllables put together," He then started muttering to himself.
"Just say, I am so awesome, or something."
Apollo gasped with a smile, "My girlfriend is such a genius! I am so awesome!" He then bowed before kissing Naruko on the cheek causing her to growl darkly holding herself back from hitting the flirtatious God.
Thalia couldn't help but huff at that crossing her arms over her chest. Annabeth noticed this.
She asked, "Uh, Thals, what's wrong?"
"Nothing...absolutely nothing..." Thalia frowned muttering. she couldn't help but feel jealousy build up inside of her. She wanted to maybe try out kissing Naruko's soft...smooth...cheeks. Hmm, maybe she could her more than her cheeks..."Damn my teenage hormones! I do not want to think like that! Especially when it's Naruko who's got me feeling like this..."
"Now sis! Transportation for the Hunters! Good timing. I was just about ready to roll," Apollo said then winked seductively at the whiskered girl who now had a huge blush on her cheeks turning away silently cursing him, "if you know what I mean."
"Will you shut it you perverted knucklehead?!" Both Artemis and Naruko shouted, they looked at each other then smirked.
Apollo held up his hands in a surrender gesture. "I was not being a perv...this time at least. Anyways, do these Demigods and my Baby Momma-"
"Ex-Girlfriend!" Naruko shouted, "Is that really hard to say?!"
"...Whateves," Apollo waved that off and Naruko deadpanned, "Do these Demigods and my Ex," Naruko now had a thankful look, "need a ride to camp as well?" He questioned his twin who nodded.
"Yes."
"Okay then!" Apollo beamed. He pinched his Ex-Girlfriend's cheek who winced swatting his hand away, "Aw, I love you too," He cooed and she cracked her knuckles in a threating manner. He paled slowly looking at Thalia, "...Let's see, Thalia, right? Heard all about you."
"Hi Lord Apollo," Thalia greeted the God dryly.
"Zeus's girl, yes?" Apollo asked and she nodded lightly, "Well good! Cause that makes you my half sister then. Used to be a tree if I'm not mistaken. Damn, I hate it when pretty girls get turned into trees! There was this one time where-"
"Brother," The Moon Goddess said impatiently, "You should get going."
"Oh right," Apollo said and his eyes drifted upon Annabeth, "Athena's gorgeous little girl, right? Annabeth Chase?" He winked.
Annabeth shuffled her feet in the green grass uncomfortably with tint of pink on her cheeks. This made Percy, Thalia and Naruko send Apollo stern but deadly glares. "Uh, yeah..."
Apollo then narrowed his eyes at Percy. "Percy Jackson?"
"Yeah. I mean...yes sir."
Apollo studied the Son of Poseidon who found this a little creepy until Apollo finally said, "Well! We'd better load up, eh? Ride only goes one way, West, and if you miss it, ehh, you miss it," That's when the Daughter of Hades snatched the keys out of her Ex-Boyfriend's pockets, "Hey!" He cried with a small frown. But on the inside it was good that she felt in his pants once more...
She pressed a button and the Maserati transformed into a yellow shuttle bus that kids used for Basketball games or things of that nature. "Let's get moving!" She grinned stashing the keys in her pocket.
Well here is the awaited Chapter 2!
