AN1: Sorry for fans of this for the long wait! I spent most of the time banging my head (and updating other stories) against the wall for the epic Naruto vs Apollo fight! I could not figure out how to write it good enough so sadly for the sake of continuing this forward! I will reference the fight but skip right to the actual quest. Sorry if it annoys people but once again my story my rules.

Short chapter I know.

Chapter 17 Naruto meets some more Demigods!

Naruto looked at the fancy Hotel in Las Vegas or it was known as the Lotus Hotel and Casino. He was standing several feet outside the building after being teleported by his father.

"Naruto. Your father appears to have kept that sentimentality he had when he was Minto." Kurama noted as Naruto could not help but nod.

"You are probably right since dad let us by and even teleported us where Percy and the others are." Naruto freely admitted as he remembered how outclassed he was. Even when he used the full power of Kurama's chakra mode he was still outpaced by Apollo who despite refusing to harm him would not let him past.

"Do not feel bad about losing to your father. Even when he was mortal he was considered 'the fastest Shinobi of all time' something even I can attest to." Kurama said gruffly as Naruto smiled abit.

"I hope dad doesn't get chewed out by mom too much. Or at least I hope dad doesn't get killed." Naruto said in worry as he knew as much a grounding, he sure was going to get by his mom his dad would feel her wrath much harsher for letting him go.

Naruto quickly thought 'Ok I have to get those idiots out of here as quick as possible as they wasted about 3 days inside already if what dad said was right. For ALL the places they could end up 2 ADHD Demigods and a Satyr who isn't great at staying focus. The Lotus Hotel was the worst. His dad and mother told him on separate occasion told him just how dangerous this place was.

"Naruto the Lotus Hotel makes it so you NEVER want to leave and time itself is accelerated in that awful place. So, if you get stuck there what could seem like a day could easily be a month in the real world." Artemis told him years ago when they were talking about places to avoid.

Shortly before Naruto was teleported

"Naruto. We lost track of the Questors a few days ago in Las Vegas and there is only one place they would not be visible to us. The Lotus Hotel is one of the places where Godly powers do not work inside that place and we are not even capable of entering it." Apollo told him gravelly.

"Why the hell not did you tell me before!" Naruto asked his dad furiously after Apollo finally agreed to let them passed.

Apollo sighed and said "We cannot interfere in that place. Our only hope is for them to escape themselves. However, time may run out before they realize they are trapped so Naruto I will teleport you outside the Hotel and you must get them out as quick as possible."

Naruto nodded and hugged his dad. "I will dad and you and mom and can see I am ready." Naruto told his dad confidently as his dad hugged him back.

"I know are ready son. Just remember this will be the only time I can assist on the quest. The rest you must do on your own." Apollo warned him as they separated.

"I know but I have Kurama with me and I know you ill be watching me so I am not alone." Naruto said proudly as Apollo smiled before snapping his finger casing Naruto to vanish in a burst of sunlight.

Present Day

"Ok here goes nothing." Naruto said with a fake smile as he walked towards the hotel entrance where he was greeted by a happy employer.

"Hello is this your first time at our fabulous Hotel?" The Employer asked as he eyed Naruto with a predator stare as Naruto pretended not to see.

"Oh yes. I was rather tired from my long plane ride and I was wondering if I could book a room for the night?" Naruto lied with a convincing tired look.

"Of course, sir. Right this way." The employer led him to the lobby room and handed him a key card and a Hotel Credit card. "Enjoy your stay and if you have any thing you need feel free to ask." The Employer said with a smile as Naruto smiled back.

"Thank you." Naruto said simply as the employer left with a smirk that Naruto noticed out the corner of his eyes. As soon as the employer left Naruto discreetly made 3 shadow clones and transformed them into random people and sent them off to find his friends. Naruto had discovered mortals did not see his whiskers even without a transformation active or using the mist. He figured it was some blessing his parents put on when he was little that they never bothered to mention. Of course Gods and demigods saw his whiskers but he doubted anyone would make a fuss about it here. Anyone stuck here would surely have better things to do than wonder why a random kid would have markings on his cheeks.

'Ok while those clones search around discreetly I need to look too. Dammit! Since they don't have chakra I cannot look for chakra signatures and since everyone wants to stay here there are no negative emotions I can focus on!' Naruto thought in frustration as he walked into the main room and saw what appeared to be an endless room of free food, arcade games, slot machines and bars.

Naruto had discovered as a perfect jinchuuriki of Kurama with his cooperation he inherited chakra sensory powers and negative emotion sensing even without being in chakra modes but the range was far less than using Kurama's chakra.

Naruto was distracted by his looking around he did not notice he bumped into someone until he heard a low 'ow' from below him. He looked down and saw a young boy pick up some cards in a rush.

"Sorry about that. Let me help you pick those up." Naruto apologized knowing it was his fault for not paying attention as he bent down and picked up the rest of the cards quickly. He quickly saw what appeared to be the Olympian Gods on each card with individual stats.

Naruto quickly saw the boy appeared to be a few years younger than he was with very pale skin, dark eyes and black hair with a happy smile on his face. "That's ok! My name is Nico how about you?" Nico asked curiously after accepting the rest of the cards back from Naruto.

"Uh hey. I am Naruto and I am looking for some of my friends here so we can play a game together." Naruto told him deciding it was best not to hint he wanted to leave the hotel.

Nico looked thoughtful before saying "Maybe my sister will know something." Before Naruto could tell him, he didn't need to Nico shouted "Bianca come here!". Naruto noticed not a single person around them as much as lifted a head to the shouting.

"Seriously Nico? I told you not to run off like that." An annoyed girls voice said as Nico waved to someone behind Naruto who turned around.

Naruto for a moment lost control of his face as he silently gaped at the new girl he saw. The girl looked about his age judging the height difference between her and Nico and probably his sister judging their similar appearances. She was roughly the same height as Naruto was with Olive coloured skin, the same dark eyes as Nico and silky black long hair. She for some reason wore a cap as if she was trying to hide her face which seemed odd for Naruto as Naruto thought she was rather pretty.

"I know Bianca but I made a new friend Naruto!" Nico said excitedly as Naruto snapped out of his gaze to look at Bianca who had a small blush when he turned around to see her.

"Well Naruto thank you for entertaining my little brother. I hope was not a bother." Bianca told Naruto kindly as Naruto chuckled at seeing Nico pout.

"Not at all. Nico seems to be a nice kid." Naruto said as Nico looked smugly at Bianca who rolled her eyes.

"Oh yeah! Naruto you said you wanted to find someone right?" Nico asked as Bianca looked questionably at him.

"Perhaps I could see if you I met them if you tell me what they looked like?" Bianca suggested as Naruto thought carefully trying not to give too much information away.

"A girl my age who has blonde hair and gray eyes and a boy with black hair and green eyes." Naruto told them as Nico and Bianca looked at each before shrugging.

"Sorry there aren't a lot of kids around here besides Nico and I and we haven't seen anyone like you described." Bianca said apologetically as Naruto just sighed.

"Its ok. Thanks for telling me." Naruto said with a smile as Nico came up close to him and pointed.

"Hey Naruto! Are those marks on your face real?" Nico asked as Naruto blinked.

"Nico! Don't be rude!" Bianca chided as Nico blinked in confusion.

"Huh? I was just asking geez." Nico said with a frown as Naruto eyes widened for a moment.

'They must be demigods or else they would not see my whiskers! Whose parents are they though as Dad and Mom told me how rare it is for a God to go back to the same mortal twice.' Naruto thought. "Oh, they are nothing really. I had them as long as I can remember." Naruto told Nico while rubbing his head in carefree way.

All the sudden Naruto felt his face get flushed as he felt a very soft hand gently caress one of his whiskers on his left cheek before he saw it was Bianca with a look of awe on her face.

Naruto felt his face burn with pleasure as much to his embarrassment he found out they were very sensitive. His mother and sisters discovered as a baby he even purred when they were rubbed much to the girls delight at his cuteness. Even as a young child he sometimes purred which his sisters teased him to no end but as he got closer to his current age, he stopped purring but it still felt immensely good when they were rubbed.

When she was caught Bianca pulled back with a massive blush. "Sorry I was just curious!" Bianca stammered finding his markings to be rather fascinating to look at and touch and she just found some instinct to touch them.

"Its ok…" Naruto said with an equally red face as Nico just laughed.

"Bianca you are being weird." Nico told his sister as her blush disappeared.

Bianca marched over to Nico and put her hands on her hips and glared at him. "Nico! That was uncalled for!" Bianca chided as Nico just grinned at his sister.

Naruto smiled at the sibling love he could sense between those two getting a vibe of his sisters in the hunt. He even related to Apollo Demigod children now to having a similar feeling now but not as strong as his feelings for the hunt.

Naruto knew he was short on time but he could tell despite their overall happy looks both of the siblings were lonely so be decided to entertain them for a bit longer while his clones searched for the quest members.

"Nico why don't you tell me about your cards?" Naruto suggested as the siblings looked at him. Nico beamed while Bianca gave her a questioning look.

She leaned and whispered "Thanks for the offer Naruto but you don't need to entertain Nico. He is fine.".

Naruto just shrugged as Nico quickly got his cards together.

"Ok so these are collector cards called Mythomagic cards and they show all of the Olympian Gods!" Nico explained as he spread his cards out on a table as Naruto looked on in interest.

Naruto was amazed to see Mr.D's card being the weakest despite Nico's claim it was still super cool. He saw that Zeus was of course the strongest card but was disappointed to see his parents in the games weaker than Ares. The pictures of course did not do the Gods justice but he supposed for mortals who never truly met them or understand them it was an okay representation of the Gods for a game.

Several minutes passed as he got to know the siblings better finding Nico amusing in his enthusiasm while he found Bianca quiet but nice.

Naruto suddenly felt a pulse from one of his clones which meant they had found the questors and it was a signal to leave. He found the need to dispel clones abit annoying when he was trying to be discreet. His dad had revealed since he could use the Hirashin Jutsu which allowed a clone to summon the user back to them there was another way. He could have a clone send a burst of chakra back to him without the need to dispel.

Naruto smiled sadly at Bianca and Nico and said "Sorry looks like I need to get going now."

Nico frowned and asked "Promise we shall see you again?".

Naruto bit his lip finding it hard to keep that promise but he had a feeling he would meet them again in the future. "Ok my little buddy I promise." Naruto said as Nico pouted.

"I am not that much little than you are!" Nico protested as Naruto laughed while Bianca giggled.

"Nico can I talk to your sister for just a minute alone?" Naruto asked as Bianca shrugged while Nico walked away.

"What is Naruto?" Bianca asked curiously as Naruto pulled out a silver bracelet out of his pocket making her gasp.

"Here. As thanks for being my friend today." Naruto her as she held onto the beautiful bracelet in reverence.

"Naruto I can't accept this." Bianca said regretfully as Naruto just smiled.

"I would be sad if you refused it." Naruto told her as she smiled before giving a quick hug.

"Thank you and may we meet again." Bianca whispered before she ran back to her brother.

Naruto smiled as he looked at the bracelet. Truthfully it was a weapon capable of turning into a knife similar to the ones the hunters used as his mom insisted despite all his weapons he need back up.

Naruto quickly ran to the lobby where his clones and Percy, Annabeth and Grover where standing looking confused when several employers converged on them.

"Are you sure want to leave?" One of the employers said sadly as Percy looked ready to give in and go back.

Naruto sighed before he quickly appeared to vanish chopping each of the employers softly on the neck knowing them out before anyone could react.

"Naruto?!" Percy shouted in surprise as he looked at the clones who promptly disappeared to the groups shock.

"How did you? I mean one minute I was playing my dream game to design my own virtual world and next minute somebody who looked like you told me it was trap!" Annabeth half asked and half demanded as Grover and Percy looked dumbly at him.

"Look I will explain but we need to get out here ASAP!" Naruto shouted them as they ran out and across the street.

"Ok Naruto can you explain now?" Grover asked patiently as Naruto quickly grabbed a newspaper out of the garbage.

"Dammit. It was not as bad as I thought but still not great." Naruto said in worry as they gave him questioning looks.

"Here look at the date." Naruto suggested as he lifted up the newspaper.

"June 19th?!" Percy shouted as Annabeth and Grover looked horrified.

"Yup you guys wasted 4 days inside the Hotel so now we have less than 2 days to return Lord Zeus's Master Bolt." Naruto said with a sigh.

"That's impossible Naruto! We were in there for only about an hour top!" Annabeth said defiantly as Percy and Grover nodded.

"That was the Lotus Hotel. It is a place where time does not pass inside the hotel but outside of it passes quicker. So, you thought it was only an hour but it was really 4 days." Naruto revealed as they looked in horror. "Look don't feel bad. Even I wasted a day in the real world trying to find you inside the hotel when I thought it was only 10 mins tops." Naruto tried to assure them as they looked at him in confusion.

"Naruto why are you here anyways?" Percy asked as Naruto quickly patted his shoulder along with Grover's.

"Yeah I thought you were not allowed to go?" Annabeth remarked before she hugged Naruto tightly to confirm it was really him.

Naruto smiled as he hugged her back before saying "They did forbid me but I got some advice and my dad let me help you out.".

Percy looked relieved while Annabeth looked worried. "I am glad you are here but isn't three a sacred number?" Annabeth said as she looked around.

"Dad told me the fates will readjust what happens so whether I was suppose to be on the quest or not I am on it now." Naruto assured them. Naruto remembered and pulled out the small bag his Auntie gave him. "Right in case you need it." Naruto told them as he handed a wide-eyed Annabeth the bag who looked close to tears.

"You have no idea how much we need this!" Annabeth told him as he just smiled.

"So, Percy where to next?" Naruto asked as they gave him a surprised look. "Hey I don't know you went or what you been told." Naruto defended himself as they looked at him sheepishly.

"Right.. So, I apparently need to go to Santa Monica Beach to meet my dad there." Percy said nervously as Naruto looked thoughtful.

"So, Los Angeles huh? I guess the best bet would be a taxi since a plane is out where Lord Zeus stroking anything that flies right now." Naruto mused as Percy wide eyed at him.

"A taxi?! IT would cost hundreds of dollars to make the trip!" Percy said shocked as Annabeth was about to say something until Naruto pulled out a few 50 dollars bills out of his pocket.

"My parents are not exactly lax when it comes to me travelling in the mortal world." Naruto admitted as Grover drooled at the money until Naruto put it back in his pocket.

Naruto was about to call a taxi over until Annabeth went up to him with a furious look in her eyes as Naruto sighed before he out his hands up. "Ok ask away." Naruto relented as the Athena child looked at him happily before she thought.

"Ok so what was with those people who looked like you? And why did they disappear?" Annabeth asked as Naruto smiled.

"Ok so my chakra I inherited from the other world allows me to do a lot of stuff Demigods can't. One is the Shadow Clone Jutsu which allows me to make solid clones of myself using chakra. They can transform freely into other people like I can. Once I am done with them, they disappear and I get their memories back." Naruto summarized as Grover and Percy looked confused. However, Annabeth looked absolutely delighted at the new information while Naruto chuckled at her expression.

"Naruto why did you decide to come?" Grover asked seriously as Percy shot him a stare which was ignored.

Naruto looked away for a moment before deciding to answer. "I wanted to make sure you guys were safe and I didn't want to stay back while you were in danger." Naruto admitted before he sent them a grin. "My dad was not ready to let me go either but he was at least willing to talk. My mom would've locked me up quicker than you could say 'please'." Naruto added as they gave him a weird look.

"Ok can we get the cab now and play 20 questions later? It will still take a few hours to get to LA even in a cab." Naruto suggested as Percy and Grover nodded eagerly. Annabeth frowned but nodded her head when she realized Naruto was speaking rationally.
