Let's get on with the story then.
Love Has No Boundaries
Annabeth Chase had always thought she would enjoy the peace that followed the second war with the Gigantes. Instead the defeat of Gaia had been nothing if not bitter sweet. Friends had been lost. The world had been irrevocably changed, but honestly at times it felt like nothing had changed at all.
Demigods still fought monsters. They still died doing it too. The gods were somewhat more attentive and perhaps even a smidgen kinder than they had been prior to it all. They were still immortal beings, and so the lives of most demigods passed by like a solitary moment.
Annabeth had tried to distract herself from the feelings of stagnation she had begun to feel since the end of the war. She'd worked on a myriad of different projects. None of them quite lasted long enough to take up space in her troubling thoughts for very long though.
At the very least she was never alone in her struggles. It seemed that most of the other survivors felt much like she did. Together things weren't so bad.
Then again they weren't perfect either though. Nothing lasts forever and in time even things that had felt solid and acted as anchors for the survivors wore down. Not from strain but rather from simple mortal problems.
She hadn't been the first to experience that. Rather it had been Jason and Piper. The pair of them slowly drifting or realizing they were less fated for one another than they had thought. It took time but in the end they had latched onto an excuse and blamed Hera for her meddling putting their relationship into a downward spiral.
Hera had been offended by the notion but luckily both Jason and Piper were popular enough after their deeds with the prophecy that they weren't worth smiting on a whim.
The breakup of Jason and Piper had seemed like just another small detail at the time, but now Annabeth wondered if it was the equivalent of opening Pandora's box. Suddenly all of them felt the need for change.
Some demigods had gone on foolish adventures to who knew where. Others had disappeared into their work. The wisest seemed to have adopted some sort of pseudo normal life and tried their best to move on from their secret life as part divine.
Even Annabeth and Percy had felt the sense of restlessness. The strange distaste for the normal that they had fought so hard for.
There hadn't been any fights. Neither of them had cheated or wanted someone else at the time even. They just…weren't content anymore. Either of them.
They had both cried about it too, but that was to be expected when you came to realize you didn't love someone the way that you used to and they had done nothing to cause it.
At least they still cared for one another. Deeper than possibly anyone else.
She had broken up with Percy just over a year ago. He had recently talked with her about someone he had met, a sea nymph, but a decent girl from what Annabeth could tell.
She had given them all her support and hoped that they could be happy together.
The call had caused her to start thinking about her own romantic life. One that was essentially non-existent.
Not for the lack of others trying. Even Apollo had very awkwardly turned up a couple of times to hit on her. He was attractive but that just felt incredibly gross.
It still wasn't as bad as Ares trying to test the waters. That had been beyond incredibly gross.
Not that she wanted the attention of that kind, but romance was something she missed. Annabeth Chase found herself lonely.
Fortunately she already had her eye on someone she could see herself happy with. A fellow demigod and one that had proven to be quite skilled at surviving in their world. That was an imperative trait for any demigod relationship.
What was more important for Annabeth, the boy she had in mind, was already proven in that regard and was a veteran of the recent conflicts that they had fought against the forces of Cronus and Gaia. A little bit younger than herself, Annabeth had kept an eye on him.
After all, he was in her cabin.
Naruto was one of the up and coming leaders among Camp half-blood. She had already mentally chalked him up to one of the more reliable campers long before. Slowly that had changed as she had actually worked directly with him. Today she planned to sort of finalize her plan for him.
Not her personal plan. She wasn't quite so forward as to just accost what amounted to her younger brother and push him into a relationship. In fact she was a bit hesitant to act on her personal desires regarding him because of that little fact.
Today she would be finalizing his ascension to the role as head of Cabin Six. They had a mission lined up and she planned to have him help her out. Not quite a quest, just a task of clearing out some monsters that had gotten a bit too cocky and strayed closer and closer to what Camp half-Blood had considered their personal green zone in New York.
Hopefully there wouldn't be too much of an issue, and she could finally pass some of her duties off to someone trustworthy. She had picked up quite a lot of responsibilities over the last few years.
Another reason she had practically no social life out of her many, many jobs.
"Uh, Annabeth?" Naruto's voice finally broke her out of thought causing her to blink as she came back to the world of the conscious.
"Huh?" She very intelligently responded.
"You alright? You called me up here and when I came in you said we had a mission then just sort of stared at me…" The blond boy said as he shifted a bit awkwardly in front of her.
A couple of their siblings chuckled nearby but averted their eyes rapidly when Annabeth shot a glare their way. She wasn't about to put up with their knowing looks and giggles like she had with Percy. Especially when she was pretty sure Naruto was moments from realizing she was interested in him every time they spoke to one another.
Maybe that would be for the best. Then she could stop tearing her mind apart by dancing around the subject all the time. She really was becoming pathetic in her own opinion.
"She's gone again." Naruto sighed in annoyance, snapping her back out of it. What was with her today?
"Maybe it's your legacy blood? Aphrodite can have that effect on people." One of their sisters pointed out before ducking around a corner as Annabeth stood from her chair. She wouldn't do anything too bad against them for testing her like this but she would assign them extra work, and no one wanted that.
"Right…" Naruto muttered before clearing his throat. "So can we get this going Annabeth? I have some work I need to get done if you don't really need me."
"I do need you, I mean I need you for a mission." Annabeth said to correct herself at the sound of snickering boys and girls around the corner.
Naruto stood a bit straighter at that information. He was a hero as much as any other camper and being a fellow child of Athena had a desire to put monsters back where they belonged as much as the others. In fact perhaps a bit more so. While every child of the gods had traits that obviously pertained to their parent, some had one or two traits more than others. Annabeth was considered rather well balanced in the things regarding her mother. She was as much an architect as she was a warrior and a thinker.
Naruto was all around a warrior. Not that he was a slacker in other regards but when it came to fighting or strategy among the members of Cabin Six, Naruto was quite gifted. Which actually meant something as when compared to others every member of Cabin Six was quite gifted in such things.
"Already interested?" She joked, getting him to grin back at her.
"What are we looking for?"
"Nothing too bad, most monsters learned well enough after the war to give us some space. Some of them just get a bit too cocky every now and then. I think I'll leave it as a surprise till we at least get on the road." Annabeth said as she moved to start collecting her things.
"Uh, hold that thought. I kind of want to grab a shower and if I don't let a few relatives know I'm heading out I'll be paying for it long into the afterlife." Naruto said as he began to leave the room.
Annabeth paused at that and nodded. It was a pretty good idea. Even if the area they were headed to was relatively close by and considered a 'safe zone' for their people for the most part she had learned from enough experiences that anything could happen beyond the boundaries of the camp. A shower and some fresher laundry would be nice in case they somehow managed to end up stuck on the run or wallowing in filth.
Regular occurrences when dealing with monsters.
"I think I am going to get some fresh changes of clothing and a shower myself. I'll meet you by the big house afterward." Annabeth said.
"You're the boss." Naruto chirped before taking off with a wave over his shoulder.
Naruto didn't take too long to gather his gear. Since the war, there had been a few changes in what was considered the usual 'kit' for tasks like what he and Annabeth would be doing. They still needed to largely blend in with the average mortal, but that requirement had become relaxed a bit. It became typical that as long as you could get away with it out there, you could take it with you.
Too many people had been lost for the camp as a whole not to consider the need for heavier armor and weapons when heading out on a task.. It wasn't uncommon now for the patrols that regularly swept the surrounding areas of Camp Halfblood to look almost like knights. Perhaps some fantasy role playing version. Funny considering they lived in a real world filled with magic and monsters.
The blond snorted at that thought for a moment as he sealed up his sturdy back pack filled with extra food and water as well as spare dry clothes topped off with a rolled up tarp and rope.
He was still a bit damp, having rushed the job of drying off after his shower. He'd had the boy's showers all to himself which was kind of a rare occurrence, so he'd perhaps taken a few extra minutes to enjoy the peace and privacy. Now though he was a bit crunched for time. He hadn't even said his goodbyes yet.
There was a bigger chance of him ending up dead if he failed to do that, than if he forgot to pack the nifty celestial bronze mesh shirt he wore between his layers. Finalizing his packing by strapping a leaf bladed xiphos onto the side of the pack before slipping his preferred daggers into concealed sheathes across his person, Naruto grabbed up the gift he had gotten from his mother following the battle of New York and took off from Cabin Six toward a different cabin.
Unlike their roman cousins who regularly enjoyed legacy members in their ranks, the greeks rarely had campers that filled that. Even more rare among both groups were the likes of Naruto. Son of Athena and Grandson of Aphrodite. It had a special kind of status in the camp. Not that he really was treated any differently. If anything it just got him more responsibilities.
Afterall in everyone else's mind, who better to act as diplomat or negotiator than a child of Wisdom and Legacy of Desire? Unfortunately things didn't work out perfectly like that. As much as his fellow campers and even his cabinmates claimed that he was a natural at persuasion and other arts concerning the use of speech, Naruto much preferred to put a blade or a fist into a problem and settle it with some finality.
He had been one of the most ardent supporters of taking the fights to the romans in the recent…misunderstanding. Not that he felt anyone should blame him. The bastards shamed his mother and deserved some retribution.
Too bad his mother's statue had been returned before he could really sink his teeth into them.
No wait, thank goodness his mother's statue had been returned before he could really sink his teeth into them.
It would have been harder to fight Gaia's forces if he and his siblings had led the rest of the campers in planting all the romans in shallow graves. Besides…some of them weren't so bad he supposed. There was a son of Ultio from Camp Jupiter that Naruto positively despised but besides him they had ended up being alright.
He shook those thoughts from his head as he waved a greeting to a couple of his aunts lounging outside the bright pink Cabin Ten dedicated to his grandmother Aphrodite.
"Hey Naruto, heading out somewhere? You look packed up for a miniature war or something." One of them commented.
"Yeah big sword and some extra guns, kind of overkill isn't it?" The other joked getting him to snort and roll his eyes at her.
His aunts were beautiful and they loved to taunt with flirting. He had long since learned that they rarely ever meant anything more beyond shallow commentary though. A general sense of teasing and suggestive humor felt more like a formal requirement to chatting with daughters of Aphrodite than actual flirting.
Most of the time anyway. There was one that was different.
"Something like that. You know what they say, those that fail to prepare are preparing to fail." Naruto said as he paused to glance them over.
Aunts they may be but they were all of divine blood here in Camp Halfblood and therefore related. He had no issue scanning the goods and neither did they as they returned his approving smirk.
"What nerd said that?" One of the girls taunted knowing it would offend his Athena side.
"Benjamin Franklin." He muttered with a sigh. "The boss home?"
The girls giggled as they stared up at him. That confused him a bit. He knew that he had missed some unstated thing, but for some reason he just couldn't grasp it. A mild feeling of frustration filtered into his mind for a moment before he blinked and focused back in on them.
"You know, Piper was waiting around for you earlier. Said something about you promising her some kind of massage or going down to the beach and rubbing sun tan oil on her…back." One of the girls said.
He blinked for a moment and tried to recall if he had promised anything like that. But he couldn't for the life of him. They must have confused him with one of the other boys from his cabin.
"Not me, at least not this time. Maybe when I get back she'll be interested. Is she inside the cabin?" He asked.
The girls shared a glance and small giggle.
"Sure, even if it wasn't you I'm sure she's been looking forward to chatting with you for a while. You brighten her days up quite a bit. After she and that roman broke it off, she always seems a little gloomy." The first said.
"At least until you come around." The second added.
"Huh, well I hope I can liven her day up well enough to hold over for a couple more. I dunno how long I'll be out on the mission. Never know with stuff like that." Naruto replied before waving a goodbye to them and heading for the door.
Unlike some who were blatantly barred from Cabin Ten by Lady Aphrodite, Naruto was always welcomed. In fact the door swung open all by itself and he almost felt like a bit of wind was pushing at his back to enter the building just a bit faster.
Maybe it had been, because the sight he encountered would have been missed if he was any slower.
Piper McLean froze in her spot as she was drying off from a shower of her own. Clearly the other girls had cleared out of the cabin to give her enough privacy to dry off and change in the sleeping area of their home.
They had also clearly not given warning to Naruto for this exact reason. Normally he tried to be a gentleman but Naruto wasn't immune from the natural draw of his eyes to the figure of the girl before him.
Fortunately, or perhaps unfortunately for him, Piper was still primarily concealed behind her towel. Despite that the glistening tan skin that was exposed seem to stretch on forever. Smooth and only marred by a tiny scar here and there, each of which only added to her appeal. Her curves remained wrapped tightly in the towel itself but left absolutely nothing to the imagination.
The thin white material was damp from her using it and only barely covered her breasts and wrapping around a slender waist before terminating just below where her hips flared out. Naruto was certain if she had been leaning over at all he would be presented with a show of more than the tiny glimpse of supple butt cheeks peeking past the towel's seam.
Below that long legs sporting muscular but still feminine thighs that were perfectly thick stretched out extending to dainty feet. One of which was tapping lightly on the ground causing his eyes to snap up to Piper's face.
Not that doing so helped much. The tiniest traces of water still ran down through her hair and across her face and her eyes had him wrapped up almost as much as the exposed shoulders benign caressed by the loose strands of her hair that hung there.
He swallowed thickly before coughing as he was pulled out of his small daze by her clearing her throat.
"Well at least I know I can catch your eye, Naruto." Piper said, acting far more boldly then he was used to as she stepped toward him despite her lack of clothing.
"Shit, I can go and give you a chance to get dressed." He snapped out trying to cover for his staring a moment before.
"Why? I'm hardly embarrassed, if anything I'm very pleased you seemed to enjoy the show so much. Usually you are a lot more talkative when you come to see me." She smiled at him, somehow looking as innocent as she did seductive.
"Well, I mean. It's like, I mean it's not like I see you like this all the time." Naruto stammered a bit before swallowing down a suddenly large amount of saliva.
Piper sauntered toward him, her hands pressing into the towel as if to keep it from slipping. The action also drew the fabric tight enough against her skin that he could easily make out the shape and outline of her breasts and the shapely waistline concealed beneath. Her fingers toyed at the spot where the towel was folded into itself to keep from falling as if debating on releasing the article of fabric altogether.
"Do you feel like you have been missing out? I've tried pretty hard over the last couple of weeks to make my stance on that clear. Maybe my mom is giving a bit of a helping hand with the timing so I can get through that thick head of yours." Piper said with a smirk and a glint in her eyes.
She paused in her advance and reached out to snag Naruto's hand up and lift it toward her towel.
"Then again, I would prefer if you made the first move."
Naruto felt himself reaching for the edge of the towel below her collarbone. To the point that his finger tips brushed away a couple of stray water droplets accumulating there. Then he pulled back causing her to scowl and lock her grip a bit tighter on his wrist.
"I think I am being pretty clear here, Naruto." She said firmly.
"Yeah, but that's the thing, this seems a bit out of sorts." He said struggling to not just jump the gorgeous daughter of Aphrodite.
"What?"
"Take a moment and think. I'm pretty sure you'll feel that your mom or maybe your godly brother is doing something here. Something like what Lady Hera did with you and Jason." Naruto said as he finally pulled his hand free.
Piper stared at him blankly before her lips quirked up into a smile then split open for a bark of laughter that Naruto never expected would spill from her lips. She seemed to be completely in disbelief of something but before they could continue any further the door to Cabin Ten was practically kicked in by Annabeth of all people who had two very irate daughters of Aphrodite sporting some swelling behind her.
"Piper…" Annabeth practically hissed as she stormed into the cabin.
"Annabeth." Piper replied before pausing to see if Aphrodite would do anything to the demigoddess that had invaded the cabin.
As it became painfully aware that nothing was going to happen Piper rolled her eyes and snorted in derisive humor. She turned away from the two children of Athena and made her way toward her clothes that she had set out on her bed.
"Looks like mom has found something to entertain herself with." Piper scowled as she ducked behind a thin sheet of fabric to get dressed.
Naruto stared at the shadows through the sheet as Piper dropped the towel and began slipping on a very thin looking pair of panties…then a pair of shorts that looked more like a pair of panties themselves.
"Well at least you figured out she was doing something. I would hate for something to happen and us to realize your mom was making us do it." Naruto said clearly relieved.
From the snort that Annabeth made and the sigh that escaped from Piper Naruto realized that he had said something that didn't land the way he hoped it would. Piper's shadow dropped it's face into it's hands before shaking it's head.
"Good luck on your mission Naruto. Try and make some time to visit me when you are done playing around with your sister." Piper said.
Naruto blinked but slowly nodded. "Uh sure. See you later."
He and Annabeth left Cabin Ten quickly after that. The girls from outside rushed inside as soon as they vacated the premises and slammed the door closed behind them. Naruto turned to look at his sister after that but she seemed to be quite pleased with herself and focused ahead of them toward a waiting van.
"Uh, Annabeth, aren't you and Piper like really close? You looked ready to kill each other back there." Naruto pointed out.
"Piper is one of my closest friends, Naruto. Don't worry she and I have certain private matters that we talk about and that little interaction involved them." Annabeth literally waved his question off as she spoke.
"I can't help but feel like it involved me too…" Naruto muttered.
"Tsk, Naruto, you are a child of Athena. You really should use your gifts more. Don't be stupid." Annabeth replied.
"And now I feel like I'm being gaslit. Not that anything is going to change, I can take a hint." Naruto shrugged.
"Not even if it slapped you across the mouth." Annabeth grumbled quietly.
"What?"
"Nothing, just get in the car." She snapped before climbing into the driver seat and starting the vehicle up.
He was pretty sure he had managed to annoy her just now. Which meant he was going to be looking forward to a fun awkward car ride for a while.
At least he could get to kill some monsters, and when she relaxed Annabeth was one of the people he preferred to hang around at camp. Alone time could be pretty cool.
The drive took longer than Naruto expected. The destination was further out than he had thought and they had been forced to take some back roads due to the roadwork on the main roads. As per usual their luck was already starting to suffer the moment they left the boundaries of the camp.
At least it gave Annabeth plenty of time to get over the interaction from earlier in the day. Not that Naruto really caught the issue. His grandmother played her games just like any of the gods did. Including his mother. Annabeth of all people knew how Athena could fall into that same manipulative space. It seemed unfair for her to get so upset at Piper for being manipulated and played with in the same way.
Then again perhaps it was because his sister was protective of him. She had been making an attempt to get closer recently. Actually recently he felt like most of his time was being split between Annabeth and Piper ironically.
In Annabeth's case he felt a bit bad for not making more of an effort. He knew she was overburdened with her work at camp. On top of that, she seemed far more stricken by her break up with Percy than she was willing to let others know. It may have been mutual but both of the heroes had been pretty torn up afterward.
Peering over at her from his spot in the car Naruto took in the elder girl's appearance. Her hair was tied tightly into a bun, and he couldn't help but think it made her features even more striking. Like most of the children of Athena, Annabeth was blonde haired and had gray blue eyes. Attractive enough features on their own but combined with the bronze tan she had from time spent out in the sun like almost all demigods, she was truly stunning.
The handful of scars she had just added to that in his mind.
"What is it?" She asked him getting him to blink before clearing his throat.
"Just wondering when you planned on revealing the rest of whatever information you are holding back. I mean i don't even know what we're looking for. You kind of just said lets go kill some monsters and put me in the car." Naruto explained with some attempt at humor.
"Nothing too major." She shrugged.
"Meaning?"
"Meaning that two children of Athena should be able to handle it easily enough and enjoy a nice moment free from chores and work back at camp." Annabeth insisted.
"Suddenly I am reminded of your genius and why we all follow you anywhere. Please let the trip last as long as possible." Naruto chuckled, getting a grin back from her.
"I figured that you would feel that way. Imagine my workload. Luckily there were a few people at camp that didn't have their schedules quite full enough to avoid picking up the slack from this very important mission."
"Impressive." Naruto said with a grin while Annabeth turned her eyes back to the road.
They continued on the road for a bit longer before Annabeth finally turned off onto an old road that didn't quite have the same standard of maintenance as the road they had been using.
Old frames for long forgotten billboards occasionally peaked out of the tree line near the roadway. As they continued on though they ended up turning onto an even more dilapidated roadway.
Here grass and weeds sprouted between wide cracks in the pavement and the tree grew close enough to the road that their branches tangled together into a thick canopy overhead drowning them in dark shadows.
It was early afternoon but Annabeth still flipped on the headlights to the vehicle.
"Small mercies like having a driver's license are really underrated." Annabeth pointed out.
"No kidding. This definitely beats hoofing it on foot. Plus I can only imagine how much this road would suck to walk along. It's practically gravel by this point." Naruto commented as they hit another deep pothole and sent mud splattering across the back panel of their car.
Annabeth snorted for a moment.
"What?" He asked curious as to what she thought was funny.
"It's nothing. Well just that, traveling by foot is definitely not the worst way I have traveled in the past." She explained.
"You gotta give me more details than that, you know?" Naruto said as he twisted in his seat to better look at his companion.
"During my first quest, back when I was twelve…we took a bus." Annabeth began.
"A bus isn't so bad."
"It is when three furies climb on board after you." She said with a smirk causing him to wince and suck air between his teeth.
"Yeah, okay I can see that sucking a bit."
Annabeth snorted at that.
"We managed to wreck it and get everyone off, only for the power on high to smite the thing into a firework show."
Naruto blinked for a moment before glancing up at the sky.
"That was because of the quest with Percy right? You haven't committed any acts that could annoy the bosses lately have you?" He asked.
Annabeth turned her head to shoot a smirk his way.
"Who knows? It is a bit hard to tell what mood they are- Oh Shit!" Annabeth began to joke before screaming in fright and jerking the steering wheel to try and avoid the broken vehicle in the roadway.
The car bounced across the rough roadway before tearing down into the ditch and up the other side and slamming right into one of the big trees standing there.
Coming to an immediate stop the car actually lifted itself up off of the ground a bit on impact before dropping back down to the ground. The engine are had folded up like an accordian and was pouring steam and smoke out as everything powered down.
Inside the cab things had happened so quick that neither demigod had more than an instant to try and brace themselves for the crash. No airbags deployed from their little clunker and glass blasted out of the windows and windshield to rain across the two young heroes.
The shards of glass weren't nearly as painful as the sudden force of inertia coming to an immediate stop. Annabeth's head bounced off of the steering wheel while Naruto felt his own head bounce against the door frame before raking across the remains of the passenger side window.
He also felt his teeth sink deeply into his tongue and blood immediately begin to well up inside of his mouth.
At least their seatbelts had been on. Even if they would leave a long bruise across their waists and chests.
Stunned by the crash, Naruto was the first to get his bearings again and jerked his head to the side to check on his sister. He almost regretted the action as glass tore at the side of his head and across his neck.
He was at least happy to see Annabeth was breathing and awake. The nasty gash on her forehead from the now ruined steering wheel looked painful but she was checking on him just like he was with her.
"You good?" He asked simply as he worked to get his seat belt off.
"Y-yeah. Not the worst I've dealt with." She groaned as she undid her own belt and gently pressed her fingers to the injury on her forehead.
"The glorious life of the children of the gods." Naruto murmured while he began trying to force his door open.
Annabeth tried hers as well before grunting in frustration. The crash had bent the door frames and wedged them closed. At least the windows were pretty big.
"Anything broken?" Naruto asked.
"Not as far as I can tell. What about you?" She replied.
"Nope…bit my damn tongue though." He growled before spitting a glob of bright red blood onto the dash.
"Always hate that. We'll have to get out through the windows. Come on." Annabeth said as she began lifting herself up with a groan of pain and pushing past the remains of the window to get out.
Naruto did the same on his side before gracelessly dropping onto the muddy ground with a soft whimper. He was going to be incredibly sore later.
"Naruto are you good?" Annabeth called from her side of the car as she got to her feet and pulled their backpacks out.
"Yeah. Yeah. Just catching my breath." He said as he climbed to his feet.
As he did he caught sight of the right side of his head in the surprisingly intact passenger side mirror. It looked like an incredibly ferocious cat had mauled a patch of his forehead and cheek. Stung like a bitch too.
"You still have your beauty." Annabeth said as she approached from behind and handed him his kit.
"Yeah? You still think I'm pretty?" He joked only to get a light punch to the chest from her.
Unfortunately her fist planted itself precisely where the seat belt had attempted to tear through him a moment before. He buckled and had to lean against the car at the sudden spike of pain that wracked his body.
"Oh gods! I'm so sorry, I wasn't thinking!" Annabeth said getting a grunt of acknowledgment from him.
"It's fine, just be gentle with me please." He chuckled softly as he tenderly rubbed at his chest.
"Right." Annabeth muttered still embarrassed by what she had done.
"What was that anyway? A minivan?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah. Let's check it out. It's in the middle of the road." Annabeth said.
Naruto nodded and drew his sword just in case.
The pair of demigods approached the minivan that had caused the wreck with caution. As if the surroundings weren't creepy enough the abandoned car definitely had their survival instincts on high alert.
Creeping up on it they both quickly realized there was nothing to immediately worry about. Immediately being the key word. The doors on the van had been torn open by something and left hanging off the side. Dried blood painted the interior as well.
"So definitely in monster territory." Naruto commented as he nudged a tennis shoe on the ground with his boot. It looked like a girl's shoe for someone about half his age.
"Probably some poor demigod and their family." Annabeth said with a frown.
"We have a trail at least." Naruto said, lifting his sword to point out a gap between some large trees. Caught on a low hanging branch was the remains of a children's toy.
"Shit." Annabeth said, knowing it was far too late for the poor people caught by their monster previously.
"We'll make it pay." Naruto said with resolve in his voice.
Annabeth nodded and they started off toward the woods.
It felt like they had been walking for hours. Long enough for the adrenaline to wear off and them to take a moment to stop and pat h up their wounds in at least a temporary fashion.
Naruto was a bit worried about the gash on Annabeth's forehead but the girl had snorted at him and whipped out a bottle of superglue and a roll of tape.
She didn't think it was that funny after he broke into laughter at the sight of tape in a single strip on her forehead. After threatening to plant another punch into his chest, Naruto had wisely shut up and the pair had set out once more.
Slowly the woods showed other signs of life beyond the usual animals that inhabited it. Remains of vehicles here or there or pieces of old furniture stuck out of the thick overgrowth in random places.
Eventually the pair came to the rusted remains of a chain link fence topped with worn barbed wire. Beyond it an old squat building covered in vines and other greenery rested. Thin trails of smoke wafted up through a hole in the roof that had once been a skylight in the garage.
"An old body shop." Naruto commented as he pointed at the nearly rusted away sign hanging in front of the building.
"Tommy's Body Shop." Annabeth read off before shrugging. "Not that creative but gets the point across. I'm going to guess these old cars and junk are part of an old scrapyard then."
"Who knows. But I'm pretty sure that our monster friend is using Tommy's old place as a place to crash." Naruto said as he motioned toward the crumpled car that had been clearly Forced out of the way of the busted garage doors.
"Big enough to not just rip doors off of a car but shove one out of the way? This will be fun." Annabeth groaned at the thought of what they would be facing.
"Cyclops?" Naruto asked.
"Its the most likely thing but be prepared for anything. You should move around to that other side and we'll come in from both sides." Annabeth replied.
"You are the boss." Naruto said with a mock salute before slipping around along the length of the old fence.
Even from here he could smell the awful scent of the monster and its victims. He could also hear it breathing and shuffling about inside the old worn down car shop. It sounded big. Not as large as some of the monsters that he had encountered during the wars with the titans and gigantes but still plenty to be intimidating.
Once he was in position he slipped his backpack off and pulled his flashlight out. Clicking it on and off three times in the direction of Annabeth's position. He got a return message of three flashes from her own light.
It was time to move.
Careful not to make too much noise, Naruto pulled the loose wires of the fence up just enough for him to shimmy beneath. He scowled a bit as he was covered in mud. As if the blood and bruises wasn't bad enough.
Maybe it was his Aphrodite heritage but he really hated being so filthy. It was unavoidable on most missions though.
Rising back to his feet he crossed the space between the fence and the remains of the old crumpled car that had been pushed out of the way. Whatever monster was inside seemed content with whatever it was doing.
Until it took a deep sniffing breath of the air and let loose a bestial snort. His eyes widened but he didn't have time to even shout a warning to Annabeth that the monster had smelled them before it smashed its body through the thin metal of the garage door.
The monster tore through with ease and thundered into the empty clearing that had once been a small parking area. It rose up its head and let out a deep bellowing cry for blood that actually hurt Naruto's ears. Then it slowly turned about to face him down.
"The Minotaur." He muttered in slight dread before he solidified his resolve and adjusted his posture. It was going to be a hard fight.
The monster let loose another battle cry before surging forward like an avalanche of fury and hate. Wise enough to not try and overpower a literally raging bull, Naruto narrowly rolled out of the way as the monster crashed into the old broken car.
Coming back up to his feet just as the thunder of the impact quieted, Naruto shivered from the sound of screeching metal as the beast worked to free its horns from the carcass of the vehicle it had just impaled.
Knowing there was no better opportunity than right now, Naruto drove forward with his sword up and ready. He slammed the blade into the bull's hide in its lower back but the blade didn't sink very far into its flesh. It was an incredibly durable monster.
Naruto wasn't done yet though. He jerked the sword upward, tearing at the flesh of his opponent and trying to carve a larger wound up its back. It didn't like that and lashed out with a kick that planted a giant hoofed foot into Naruto's gut and launched him backward to skid across the dirty ground and roll into a filthy puddle of oily water.
He gasped for air and spit putrid water out of his mouth while trying to regain his bearings only to watch as Annabeth leapt off of the roof of the old building and forced the monster's head back down, driving its horns deeper into the car.
"Kill it before it gets free!" She ordered while driving a dagger into the. Monster's throat and sawing back and forth violently.
Naruto didn't need to be told twice. He struggled to his feet and didn't bother going searching for his sword. Instead he pulled his knives free and charged back into the fray. Taking a leap of his own, he drove both knives deeply into the Minotaur's back and began rapidly yanking them around and back out before planting them back into the Monster's bloody hide once again.
The beast let loose bellows of pain but neither Annabeth or Naruto gave it a second thought as they ripped at their enemy. It wasn't enough though. Slowly but surely the beast was working its way free.
"We need something more-" Naruto began to say before he saw Annabeth reach into the waistband of her pants and pull out a handgun of all things.
"What?" He asked in surprise but Annabeth didn't answer. Instead she leveled the barrel with the side of the Monster's head, right where it's eyes were and pulled the trigger.
She didn't stop with one shot either. She fired and fired and fired until the slide locked back and the hulking beast collapsed underneath her and began rapidly breaking down into golden dust.
"Fucking, what?" He asked again.
"Celestial bronze bullets. It's kind of time we all caught up with the modern day."
"Why didn't you start with it though. Also, I need one." Naruto replied as he put away his knives and collected his sword.
"It's kind of my last resort. The bullets are a pain to make but a Minotaur with space to run around is a bigger pain." Annabeth said as she put her own weapons away and picked up the horn that was her trophy.
"Yeah. At least it's dead. Mission accomplished." Naruto said with a sigh.
"Now comes the walk home." Annabeth said.
Both of them groaned. That would take forever. Plus they were filthy and in need of some time to recover.
"I saw a motel before we turned off the highway. Could probably walk there in an hour or two."
"A shower and a bed for the night. Sounds good to me. Lead the way, Naruto." Annabeth directed.
The pair picked up their packs and set out for the road once again, now on foot, and aching from the rough treatment of the car and minotaur.
It took nearly a full two hours for them to reach the motel and another half hour at least for them to figure out the best way to lift the key for a room without alerting the staff to the fact that they were there.
By then the sun was low enough that the sky had turned to the pinks and oranges of sunset and long shadows were stretching across everything. In room 2B however, things were nice and bright.
Annabeth had been kind enough to allow Naruto the first shower. He was by far the dirtier of the two. Besides a little blood and mud, Annabeth was just a little sweaty from the fight and their hike back into town. While he was grabbing a shower she decided to mend a few of her worse injuries as well.
The superglue was holding just fine in the small cut on her forehead, but the purple bruise surrounding it was annoying. Thankfully the ambrosia she and Naruto had brought was already working it's magic and she could feel that wounds that covered her body were rapidly healing all on their own.
Still it was better to check on them to make sure that they were healing properly. With that, and the fact Naruto was still in the bathroom, Annabeth removed her shirt and tossed it to the floor before unfastening her bra and dropping it alongside it. The blonde girl couldn't stop the grimace that came when she saw the black and blue coloring her belly and chest had taken.
Already it was fading away like nothing had happened, once more thanks to the ambrosia that they had brought. However, I reminded her how bad things could have been. They would need to start having a bit more thorough safety inspections of the vehicles. The lack of airbags had been awfully painful.
Gently her hands moved up to rub at the tender, bruised, skin of her chest. It didn't hurt anymore thankfully, but it still felt a bit odd. It was nice to kind of get the blood circulating more properly so her breasts didn't feel so numb after her ordeal.
To all of the scenes Naruto had expected to walk into when he came out of the bathroom, Annabeth fondling her own boobs in front of him and a mirror was not one of them. He froze in place as his mouth opened and closed while working wordlessly to try and make some sound.
She was beautiful. He had known that. Everyone knew that. Seeing her standing before him with some dirty cargo pants on, topless with a few fading injuries after a battle…that was something beyond beautiful. Annabeth Chase was a demigoddess, but in that moment he could have easily mistaken her for something of even more pure divine origin. He'd met goddesses and well, some of them would feel jealous of the girl absentmindedly kneading her own tits in front of him.
He stepped forward, almost trance like. He was of Olympus and well honestly they weren't known for their self control. A gorgeous woman he liked was half nude in front of him and he wanted her. Unfortunately while his mind was centered on his objective before him, it missed the obstacles before him.
Annabeth had moved one of the end tables in the room to a position beside her so she could properly take care of her wounds. Naruto, distracted as he was, walked directly into it and stumbled over the top sending him toppling directly into his demigoddess sister.
The girl squawked in shock as Naruto fell onto her and they both went sprawling. The towel that had been the only thing covering his rapidly hardening manhood was torn off of him and tangled up on the table. Naruto himself was on top of Annabeth and tangled up with her.
Both froze at that. Naruto hovering over Annabeth, clad in nothing but the thin leather necklace worn by all Camp Half-blood members. Annabeth, completely naked from the waist up and breathing suddenly much harder than before.
Blue stared into blue as the two of them both tried to force their minds back into order so that they could properly react to the situation at hand and handle it as the young adults that they were.
Naruto's mind sparked to life first and he began to speak.
"Shit, I didn't mean-" He began not wanting her to think he was like Ares or their grandfather and trying to force himself on her.
Thankfully she knew better. She also had a much better reaction to their situation than what Naruto could have ever expected or even hoped for. Her lithe hands slipped up his sides and around his arms to grip the back of his head before raising her body up to meet his and planting her lips on his own in a deep kiss.
Naruto's surprise was forced to the side as he lost himself in that simple act. His tongue parted their lips and the two shared the moment in the frantic energy only lovers feel. While they continued to explore one another's mouths, their hands began to also explore each other's bodies.
Annabeth hummed in pleasure at the feeling of Naruto's erection pressing strongly against her leg. She was nervous but more than that excited. She wanted this and wasted no time in slipping her hands back down across his fit body to gently grip his dick. She'd never held one before. It was an odd thing to enjoy, she realized.
She took pleasure in the grunt that Naruto let out as her hand wrapped around his shaft. Having that sort of effect on him was something she'd been hoping for for a while now. If only she had known it would be this easy. Screw talking, there was wisdom in taking action.
They broke the kiss for air and Annabeth let his cock go to grab the sides of his face and hold him in place.
"Get these pants off of me and get me on the bed. I'm not doing it on the floor." She commanded.
"You are the boss." He replied with a near frantic nod before climbing up off her and pulling her to her feet easily.
She yelped when he yanked the pants down off of her hips and literally lifted her up out of them. They would need to discuss more romantic ways of undressing one another, but right now it got the job done and she was ready to move on to the main event.
Naruto tore Annabeth's panties off of her as he held her up before holding her so that she could wrap her legs around his waist. Each of his hands cupped one of her perfectly round ass cheeks while she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him close.
The feeling of Annabeth's breasts squished between them and the taste of her lips as they kissed one another deeper than they had even before drove him onward as he approached the bed. It wasn't the only thing. In their position, Naruto's hard cock was trapped between his abdomen and her wet pussy. Feeling, and even smelling her pressed against him like this made him almost painfully hard and he couldn't wait long to drive himself inside of her.
Twisting he climbed onto the bed still holding her up before laying them both down on the soft mattress. Annabeth moaned as his member rubbed against her pussy from the motion. She was aroused as he was and she needed him just as much right now.
"Don't wait!" She commanded him once more as they briefly broke the kiss. She didn't give him a chance to respond before slamming her lips back against his once more.
Deciding the wise thing to do was to simply do exactly as she said, Naruto moved one his hands off of her plump butt to maneuver his dick into a position to slip into her. It took a little bit of work. Annabeth, despite wanting him inside of her wasn't helping much as instead she was grinding herself up against him trying to find some kind of relief for her own arousal.
Luckily for them both Naruto managed to free his dick from between them and target her sweet spot. He didn't ease in, like he might have if he was more in control. Instead he thrust himself forward almost immediately. He needed to be inside of her. Wanted it so badly that his mind was clouded and he could think of nothing else besides the pleasure coming from their two bodies wrapping up with one another.
Annabeth had no complaints. A sharp gasp was her only reaction as he suddenly inserted himself inside her. It hurt. She was stretched by his sudden entry but her body had been ready. She had wanted exactly this and with the brief jab of pain came an immense wave of pleasure as she gripped him tightly. She didn't intend to let him go.
"Yes…" She moaned in a breathy voice that caused him to grunt in pleasure as well and begin to rock himself backward and forward building up into a motion of thrusting into her.
"Yes!" Annabeth said again, this time crying it much louder as she dug her fingers into his back and began kissing him once again, occasionally even tugging at his lips with her teeth gently.
Naruto picked up his pace. His hips couldn't separate very far from Annabeth's because her legs were locked around him tightly. Her ankles had become almost like a knot. That mattered little though. He made up for leverage with speed.
Breaking their heated kiss once again, Naruto pressed his lips to her jaw before assaulting her neck. He bit and sucked at her neckline leaving plenty of evidence of their encounter across her skin. Love bites littered her neck in moments and he continued to add more and more to the count.
Annabeth gasped and moaned at the actions of her brother. She loved it. Needed it. She could feel heat and pressure building inside of her. A feeling of release swelled from inside. Spurred on by feeling so full and so completed.
Her mind struggled with that. She had wanted this but now that she had it, it wasn't what she had expected. It was different. Not the slow romantic build up. An aggressive almost animal like encounter between them.
It was better than she could have hoped for. That thought was her last for a moment as her orgasm came and swept her away in pleasure.
Naruto felt his lover tighten around his cock as she came. The choked moan that she let out all but confirmed it. He took a moment to glance up at her face and felt himself grow closer to his own release as he saw how her eyes rolled back and her eyelids fluttered.
Annabeth was flushed, sweaty, and her golden hair was plastered to her forehead as she made a sound that he has only heard from x rated videos in the past.
She was beautiful. She was perfect.
He grunted as he drove his hips down as hard as he could to bury his dick deeply into her. She still clenched around him tightly like her body was trying to tear his cum out of his body. He was happy to oblige.
Naruto snagged her neck once more and sunk his teeth into her skin. Even in his throws of ecstasy he was careful not to hurt her though. It would leave a darker mark than the other hickies he had decorated her with though.
Annabeth felt him release inside of her and it pulled her orgasm into another swelling wave of pleasure causing her to let out something between a gasp, moan, and whimper.
Her body felt amazing. Like electricity coated her whole being. She wanted more.
As Naruto took a moment to catch his breath, Annabeth had other plans. Unlocking her ankles she used them to push them over on the bed and roll on top of Naruto.
She grinned down at him as she rose up straddling his waist. She felt his cock attempt to return to being flaccid. It had already done its job after all. She wasn't done with it though.
Easy solution. Slowly at first Annabeth began to gyrate her hips and ride him. She was very pleased to feel him swell back to full strength in practically no time at all.
The return of that full feeling, enhanced by the feeling of his cum running out around his dick was already driving her into new waves of pleasure.
They moaned together as she picked up speed.
"Gods, Annabeth." He moaned as she rode him harder and faster.
"Do you like it like this?" She asked with amusement and arousal thick in her voice.
"Yes!" He groaned.
"Want to cum again? Wanna fill me up again and again?" She pushed on. She shifted her legs to give her more leverage and lifted herself up a bit before dropping back down with a wet slap of flesh on flesh.
"Fuck. Yes, I need it." He grunted.
Annabeth laughed at the feeling of power and pleasure. This is what she had wanted. It felt so good to have him under her, inside of her. She needed to reward him for making her feel so good.
The daughter of Athena began bouncing on her brother's cock and loved every second of it.
Not one to simply give in completely, Naruto reached a hand out and slapped her on the ass causing her to yelp then moan once more.
He shifted up causing Annabeth to change the position of her legs once more. She couldn't bounce on him anymore but she could grind and ride just like before. One arm snaked around her back to hold her closer to him while the other hand grabbed a hand hold of her tits and began kneading and playing with them.
"Fuck that's good." Annabeth forced out between gritted teeth. She could feel it coming again. That intense pleasure built up in her as she grew closer and closer to coming once again.
"Annabeth, I'm close again." Naruto grunted directly into her ear as he tightened his grip on her.
The girl didn't reply. Her hips shook back and forth not getting much range of motion but neither needed that anymore. They were wrapped around one another and together they both felt it sweep over them as they let go.
Naruto caught Annabeth's lips with his own and they kissed deeply as they rode out their joint orgasm slowly laying back against the bed. He could feel their mixed juices escaping around his dick and draining down across his balls. It was messy.
He would need another shower in the morning. That was then though, and he felt confident he would not be taking that shower alone.
Breaking the kiss both of them took a moment to catch their breath. Annabeth laid across his larger form with her head on his chest. Naruto ran a hand through her hair gently while she pressed small butterfly kisses to his chest.
The pair lay like that for a while. Just enjoying the heat of one another's bodies. Slowly though something dawned on Naruto that caused him to chuckle and made Annabeth look up at him curiously.
"I get that whole thing back home. All the remarks from our brothers and sisters. You know if you had just said something to me this could have happened sooner." Naruto explained before cringing slightly at the glare she sent him.
"If you want it to happen again and soon you need to not say anything to them." She ordered.
"Nah, this is how it is now." Naruto said confidently before slapping her on the ass and pulling her up his form a bit to begin kissing again.
He was already hardening again and ready for another round.
And that is all there was. I hope you enjoyed this story. Give a thank you to Gammagyro for commissioning this.
I will be focusing on my updates for a little bit so look forward to that if you are into that.
Anyway
Till Next Time
