Edit: All the chapters have been refurbished and brought up to a standard of writing I find acceptable. Enjoy.
The Big Apple, a giant city with a never ending thrum of noise and traffic, and its own unique orchestra of car horns, angry drivers, and people screaming, "I'm walkin' here!" Constantly crowded streets, constantly pissed off people, finished with a touch of a lightshow luminizing a concrete forest of skyscrapers reaching to the heavens. In one case in particular, literally.
More on that later.
A curious, stark blonde teenager with whisker marks on his face wearing a plain, burnt orange hoodie and a pair of distressed jeans casually strolled with a coffee in his hand and headphones covering his ears. He stood out like a sore thumb in the busy streets of New York City. A dark pair of aviators obscure his eyes from view, but do nothing to conceal whisker-like marks adorning both his cheeks.
Seemingly unbeknownst to him, a large snake was weaving between crowds of pedestrians, unnoticed by passersby, malevolently inching closer to the aloof blonde. The serpent coiled to strike, intending to pierce its fangs into the prey it had stalked so meticulously. The blonde flashed from existence, and the young Libyan Snake's head flailed from its body, then faded into golden dust. The incredibly handsome teenager released a sigh, and a curved sword flashed from existence. He groaned, rotating his shoulder lazily in its socket. The bustling crowds of New York continued on, ignorant of the danger that had been prowling among them.
"What's the point of being a badass, handsome mercenary if no one notices you," the man snickered.
*Bahbahbahbahhh buh buh bah-baba! Bahbahbahbahhh buh buh bah-baba!* CLICK
"Resident mercenary speaking, how can I help you?" The blonde man spoke in monotone, pausing to listen to an indecipherable voice. "Yeah. Yeah. Got it. Sure. You're the man with the plan, boss." With an audible sigh, he slides his cellphone back into his pocket.
"Rest in peace, my ass."
(LINE BREAK)
"A highschool dance? Really? I'm Naruto Uzumaki, not the weird guy trolling in a high school parking lot looking for a prom date," the blonde merc grumbled, kicking a clump of snow as he walked towards the boarding school known as Westover Hall. "What the hell kind of business does Corpse King think I'm running here…" With a sigh, he pushed open the large oak doors and slipped in quietly, and released a low whistle.
"Fancy," he chortled to himself, taking in his surroundings. The place was huge. The walls were lined with battle flags and weapon displays: antique rifles, battle axes, and a bunch of other stuff. A large, ornate rug stretched down the entrance hall, and banners and streamers hung from the walls a ways down. Music played in the distance.
"The headmaster is definitely a Mars legacy."
With a slight hop in his step, he walked towards the music, swaying gently to the rhythmic beats. "Green Day? What kind of… kids these days. No taste," With a roll of his eyes, he stepped into the gymnasium, looking for his targets.
"Let's see, brother and a sister, black hair, kinda reminiscent of old deadhead himself… Voila. Targets acquired." He started towards him, until he noticed three more teens that, like himself, were there for the two siblings. A blonde girl, a dark haired boy, and a girl with jet black hair, each highly conspicuous, entirely out of place, and looking directly at his two charges.
"No such thing as a simple job. Di Immortales, gods really do know how to fuck everything, literally and figuratively. Whatever. At least I'm going to get some fun out of this." With a derisive snort, he made his way towards the attractive ravenette demigod.
"Excuse me, I saw you didn't have a dancing partner, and I was wondering if I could step in?" Naruto said silkily, a sly smirk etched into his face. The shocked girl jumped at his voice, before stammering out a surprised reply.
"S-sorry, I can't. I'm supposed to be taking care of something for the headmaster." She said, attempting a semblance of remorse.
"I'm aware. Sadly, we both have a thorn in our side preventing us from retrieving our little angels. So, how about a dance to pass the time?" Now, the smirk had shifted into a twisted sneer. The ravenette tensed, and made to reach into her pocket. Naruto's hand blurred out catching her wrist and placing her hand on his shoulder, while his free hand snaked around her waist.
"Don't do something you'll regret, doll. Relax, dance the night away. We've got time. The manticore won't make a move in the middle of the dance. Besides, your two partners will keep an eye on my little Angels." A furious scowl glared up into the boy's face, before taking on a look of resignation. With stiff posture, the girl allowed herself to be gently swayed to the rhythm of the music. He grinned down at her, towering over her by almost a solid foot.
"Naruto Uzumaki."
"What?"
"My name," He said, looking at her in amusement. A frazzled blush met his gaze.
"Thalia Grace."
"A pleasure. I take it you're from Camp Half-blood? A daughter of Zeus, I presume?"
"How could you tell?"
"You take after your father. Scowl and all," Naruto replied with a laugh, before reaching up and tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. By now, Thalia's face was a bright crimson, and her glare had been magnified tenfold.
"Who the hell are you?" She asks furiously, utterly bewildered by the strange blonde man. Naruto then casually spun her, and tugged her close, making her yelp in shock. With a laugh, he leaned in closely, his breath tickling her ear.
"Just your average mercenary. You should probably go catch up to fish-breath's spawn, before he makes a mess that I can't clean up," Naruto said, gesturing to the door her dark haired accomplice had darted through. With a shove, she pushed Naruto from their awkward embrace and fled for her friend, gesturing to her other accomplice to follow her.
"That was fun," Naruto reached into his pocket and withdrew a set of what appeared to be car keys.
He whimsically strolled after the teenagers.
"Showtime."
(LINE BREAK)
"There is a clearing ahead," Thorn said. "We will summon your ride."
"What ride?" Bianca demanded. "Where are you taking us?"
"Silence, you insufferable girl!"
"Don't talk to my sister that way.'" Nico said, shivering from both the cold and fear.
Percy Jackson knew he was in a right pickle. This was the absolute WORST thing that could have happened. He desperately screamed at Grover to come get them through their empathy link, but he felt nothing in return. He followed from a distance away, clutching the pen that would transform into Riptide in less than a second firmly in his hand.
The woods had opened up to a cliff over the seas, surrounded by woods on either side. Snow gently rained down from above, and a brisk air buffeted against the four. Percy shuddered, his mind racing as he desperately tried to think of a plan to get themselves out of the frying pan. Slowly, he stalked closer, trying to get the drop on the beast.
"MANTICORE!" A familiar voice screamed, followed by a bolt of lightning shooting towards Thorn, blasting him squarely in the chest. Thorn returned with a volley of spikes that sailed toward the girl and the trio. Percy and the Di Angelos were knocked to the floor as an invisible force plowed into them.
"Percy, what were you thinking going after a Manticore by yourself," Annabeth whispered into his ear furiously, as her invisible body pressed him into the snow. Had this been a different situation, Percy may have been mildly embarrassed… amongst other things.
"I j-just thought-" Another bolt of lightning cut him off, and he watched as Thorn sprung to the side, swiftly dodging Thalia's attack. He launched another volley of poison coated spikes at Thalia, which knocked her to the ground, despite being deflected by Aegis. With a groan, Thalia stabbed her lance into the snow next to her, and hoisted herself back to her feet. A sharp voice that permeated the clearing suddenly stopped all movement.
"Thorn you sly old manticore, you. You'd think after existing for as long as you have you'd learn the right way to get a pretty girl on her back for you," A figure stepped into the clearing. His bright blonde hair was a beacon, his blue eyes pierced through the darkness, pinning the beast in his place, and a long, slightly curved blade the color of midnight with a golden edge in his hands.
"YOU!" The manticore took a shaky step back, his eyes wide with fear. The beast dropped onto all fours, and shifted into its natural form. A mane sprouted around his neck, and his clothes morphed into fur as claws sprouted from his newly formed paws. His face took on the features of a lions, and a scorpion tail swung furiously behind his flank.
"Me." Naruto grinned. His vicious smile looked sharper than any blade. Two sharp fangs peeked out, and he took a step towards the beast, and the blade in his hands became wreathed in flames. He swung his blade in a slow, intricate circle, the flames clinging and dancing along the odd blade, hypnotizing his surrounding audience.
A volley of arrows shot out of the trees, punching into the manticore, stopping Naruto in his tracks. His grin was instantly replaced with a frown. The manticore instantly dispersed into gold dust, signifying his return to Tartarus. From the trees stepped around two dozen silver clad teenage girls, all with bows trained on the blonde.
"The Hunters!" Annabeth cried out with excitement.
Thalia muttered, "Oh, wonderful."
"I like you already."
"Touch-y. You'd think people would greet a stranger more kindly," Naruto said, lazily shifting his sword back into a key, and storing it in the pocket of his jeans.
"Thou art no stranger, Uzumaki," One of the girls pushed her hood back and stepped forward, a few feet away, and had her arrow pointed directly at Naruto's face. His face changed into a dark frown.
"Zoe. It's nice to see you're doing alright." She growled in response.
"Zoe, that is enough. Hunter's, stow your bows. Uzumaki shall cause no harm. Is that not right, my treacherous nephew?" A small girl commanded, coming to the forefront of the group of girls. With a snarl of reluctance, Zoe stowed her bow and arrow, and stormed off. By now, Percy and Annabeth had stood up and moved protectively in front of the di Angelos. The blonde man made his way towards the four half bloods.
"Nico and Bianca di Angelo? Your father hired me as your guardian, it would seem. Are you alright?" Naruto asked, obviously false concern filled his voice. Percy summoned riptide, and pointed it at Naruto's throat.
"Sorry, but I've had a long night, and you're stressing me out." Percy angrily said. Thalia approached from behind, her body, too, tensed for a fight. Naruto merely grinned in amusement, summoning flames that flicked around his feet, melting the surrounding snow.
"Enough. Hunters, make camp. Demigods, you will join me. You will join me for the evening as well, Uzumaki."
"You heard the lady, no worries. I'm pretty cute and cuddly once you get to know me," Naruto winked. Percy looked at him with abviouis annoyance, his sword still in his grip at his side.
"Testy little shit."
"Excuse me, but I don't know you. I hate to be a jerk, but who are you to tell us to do anything?" Percy asked, a tone of impatience resounding from his voice. Annabeth winced, while Thalia groaned and muttered under her breath. Naruto's light grin instantly lit up into full on beaming.
"I stand corrected. I love you, baby fish."
"I am Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt, Perseus Jackson. You will join me."
Percy gulped. "Yes Ma'am."
A satyr wandered out into the clearing. "Hey guys, what'd I m- Oh." The satyr turned, attempting to casually walk out of the clearing, before Thalia grabbed him by his collar, and pulled him back towards the camp that was being hastily prepared.
(PAGE BREAK)
Naruto lazily laid next to a fire that was conveniently between him and lady Artemis. At his left was the four campers from Camp Half Blood, and at his right were the Di Angelos. Next to Artemis sat Zoe Nightshade. Around him the Hunters had set up other campfires and tents, and prepared to set in for the night. Zoe's eyes were firmly fixed on Naruto, her fingers twitching next to a knife that was sheathed in her belt. Percy looked like he'd rather be anywhere else, as did Thalia, and Annabeth looked at Artemis with absolute adoration. The youngest Di Angelo was drilling the poor satyr about Greek Gods, and Bianca looked entirely overwhelmed. Everyone was uncomfortable, no one knew what to say, and the snow was making everyone miserable.
Overall, it seemed like an incredibly successful night to one Naruto Uzumaki.
"Just like old times, huh, Auntie?" Naruto drawled, his disinterest in the entire situation was palpable. Zoe snarled, and Naruto held his hands up placatingly, looking at her with a light smile. He stood up.
"Excuse me, but I've been working all day, and the dragon needs to breath, if you know what I mean," the blond man walked from the fire and towards the woods.
"Disgusting pig," Zoe growled under her breath, and furiously stabbed at the fire with a nearby stick.
Artemis released a sigh, and stared deeply into the fire. Her hand reached out to Zoȅ's shoulder, and rested there in an attempt to comfort her. Zoe's tension fell, and her face turned into an impassive look.
"Lady Artemis, if you don't mind me asking, who is that man?" Annabeth asked, curiously looking after the man.
"That… is a Thing who has no purpose. Uzumaki is simply tolerated by the gods because of necessity, and because we can't actually do anything about him. Tread carefully. It seems the Fate's have tied your camp to him, and that which is tied to him is caught in the inferno in which he reigns." the goddess of the moon replied. Her voice was filled with anger and what seemed like... Hurt?
"What's he to you and your Hunters?" the son of Poseidon interjected, befuddled by the blonde enigma. Annabeth's hands rose to her face at his obvious lack of tact.
"Naruto is my nephew. To my hunter's, he is a traitor," she replied shortly.
"And to Nightshade?" Thalia asked curiously. Zoe tensed angrily, and prepared to speak, before she was interrupted by Artemis.
"Naruto is her Orion." At that, Zoe stood angrily and exclaimed.
"My Lady!"
"It is true, Zoe. You were enamored with him. Perhaps you even still are. Even Naruto's story is similar to that of Orion's," Artemis replied curtly. Zoe's hands shook with rage.
"Tis not their business! They are campers, my lady, and-"
"I care not, my lieutenant. You will be spending time with them, eventually it would have come out. I have decided you will accompany them to Camp Halfblood, where you will stay until I return. The winds are changing, something is stirring… I must hunt it. I fear what may become of us all if I do not. I will not put any of you in danger. Do not argue my command, Zoe," She cut her off before she could respond. The goddess had a slight tremble in her shoulders, and despite her youthful appearance, looked ancient.
"Satyr, would you take young Nico and perhaps indulge him for a while? I must talk to his sister about a pressing matter. Zoe, please recover Naruto. I must speak with him as well."
"Yes, my lady." With veiled reluctance, Zoe walked from the campfire toward where the blonde had slipped off to, fury in each of her steps.
"Annabeth. Thalia. You need not stay, please rest, you will need it. Times shall soon be filled with strife, and one must find repose when possible." Understanding the dismissal, the two disembarked to find a tent.
"Hey, Annabeth, go ahead without me. I think I'm gonna go for a walk," Thalia said suddenly.
"You sure? I'll go with you," Annabeth offered.
"No, it's fine, you're tired. I'll find you later." Annabeth nodded sleepily, then ducked inside their tent. Thalia strolled, taking in the campsite. She'd considered joining them since Luke's betrayal, if she were honest with herself. Luke had been the reason she hadn't previously; she couldn't leave him behind. If she left camp, this would be what greeted her, the question was if this is what she wanted. The only thing left that tied her to camp was Annabeth, and Annabeth had Percy to look after her. She didn't need Thalia anymore like when they were kids. Being a hunter would give her the family that was taken from her, she wouldn't be alone. As she walked, she heard heated voices from the other side of a tent. She sneaked forward, curiosity getting the better of this particular cat, and tuned in to the pair of voices.
"You left," a decidedly female voice said, filled with sorrow.
"I never said I was going to stay permanently," The familiar male voice said, his aloof tone striking a resounding chord. Naruto. The strange, blond enigma of a man whom she danced with. That made the female voice…
" Zoe, you know what would've happened had I stayed. It wasn't going to be like Hippolytus, I wasn't going to be inducted into the hunt. Had I stayed, I would've been forced to leave. Had I stayed… you would've left with me, and lost your immortality. I wasn't going to take your family from you."
"Twasn't your choice to make, Naruto. I loved you, and you tossed it way. And now thou art naught but a hired mercenary. Thy has abandoned the sacred teachings of the hunt." Thalia's face burned, and she slowly inched away from the voices back to hers and Annabeth's tent.
"Damn it Zoe, I did what was best for you, don't you understand?" Naruto snarled, his eyes flashing a deep red. The loud voice of the man froze Thalia.
"You chose to do as what thou found to be easiest! Don't make excuses! You knew how I felt, but you were afraid! Afraid of an actual future beyond endless wandering!" Zoe retorted. Naruto jolted forward, grabbing the front of her shirt, lifting her to his eye level. A nearby tree burst into flames, and his heavy breathing filled the clearing. Slowly, he brought her back to the forest floor.
"My lady has called thy to her side to discuss Bianca's future. We must go. I have nothing more to say to you." Zoe coldly replied, her arms shaking with barely restrained rage.
"Fine. Lead on," Naruto replied icily. Thalia stood frozen behind a tree, not moving an inch until she was sure the pair was gone.
They returned to the campfire they'd left previously, where Artemis had yet to move, and Bianca sat nervously, looking between the three intimidating figures.
"Now that your guardian has returned, Bianca, we must now discuss where your future leads from here. You have two choices before you, both ultimately lead to you going to Camp Half Blood. However, you can journey there to become a camper… or as a member of the Hunt. The choice is yours." Artemis ignored the obvious tension between the recently arrived pair. Bianca stuttered, baffled by the offer.
"A Hunter?" She asked, unsure of how to reply.
"Yes. As a hunter, you'll have to…" Naruto simply tuned out from the goddesses words. Why he had to be here, he had no clue. It wasn't his job to decide her future, what was he, her father? If the rotting sack of godly flesh downstairs wasn't objecting, he sure as hell wasn't going to bother.
"Be warned though; you can never fall in love. You'll also likely rarely be able to see your brother again. The choice is yours." finished Artemis, her tone never changing throughout the entire speech. Bianca had always cared for her brother, and had not been able to be a girl since her mother died. She had to be responsible. To be able to let go, and have a family that would take care of her, while being able to have fun was… simply too good to let go. Sure, it was selfish, but after everything, she wanted to be selfish.
"I accept." She said calmly.
"Wonderful. We shall attend to the formal ceremony later. For now, go join your brother." Bianca stood with trembling legs, and departed from the campfire, leaving the goddess and two teens. Naruto met Artemis's eyes.
"My brother will be providing transportation to Camp Half Blood at dawn." she said blandly. Naruto's shoulders squared off slightly, before he released a sigh, and nodded. He stood from the campfire, and made his way to his own tent, ignoring the stares of the hunters as he did.
"Why can't these jobs ever be simple."
Such is the fate of a man fated to be a tool of destiny.
(LINE BREAK)
"Uzumaki, thy must awaken. Apollo will arrive shortly," Zoe's voice spoke from just outside the entrance of his tent. One bleary eye glared at the tent's flap, before he slowly shrugged out of the cocoon of blankets he had wrapped himself in in his sleep.
It was colder, darker, and snowier than ever. Up on the hill, Westover Hall's windows were completely lightless. Dawn was approaching, but as of now, darkness engulfed the cliffside. The Hunters broke camp as quickly as they'd set it up. Artemis stared into the east, and Bianca sat off to one side, talking with Nico, likely explaining her decision to join the Hunt. Thalia, Grover, Annabeth, and Percy were huddled together talking lowly, while Percy sent the occasional glance at Bianca.
"So baby-kelp was informed of Bianca's decision, and disagrees. Go figure," Naruto snorted derisively, leaning against a tree, looking towards the East as well. His fists curled in his palms.
"Damn that man."
"Don't look," Artemis advised. "Not until he parks." There was a sudden burst of light on the horizon, and a blast of warmth. The snow had melted around a Porsche 918 Spyder in a perfect circle that had suddenly appeared. The driver stepped out, revealing a man that appeared to be in his early twenties, with blonde hair and bright, blue eyes, tanned skin, and a smile that could melt. Literally.
"Damn. Apollo is hot." Thalia muttered.
"He looks like that Naruto guy," Percy observed, resulting in Thalia becoming a blushing mess.
"I think I might start to like our resident waterboy," Naruto snickered.
"Little sister!" Apollo called. If his teeth were any whiter he could have blinded the ensemble without the sun car. "What's up? You never call. You never write. I was getting worried!"
Artemis sighed. "I'm fine, Apollo. And I am not your little sister."
"Hey, I was born first." He said petulantly
"We're twins! How many millennia do we have to argue—"
"So what's up?" he interrupted. "Got the girls with you, I see. You all need some tips on archery? Or perhaps you need tips on wooing?" Apollo grinned, wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.
Artemis grit 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!" Then he raised his hands in a stop everything gesture. "I feel a haiku coming on." The Hunters all groaned. Apparently they'd met Apollo before. He cleared his throat and held up one hand dramatically.
"Green grass breaks through snow. Artemis pleads for my help. I am so cool." He grinned at us, waiting for applause.
"That last line was only four syllables," Artemis said, dragging her palm down her face.
Apollo frowned. "Was it?"
"Yes."
"Hmm." He started muttering to himself.
Zoe Nightshade turned to us. "Lord Apollo has been going through this haiku phase ever since he visited Japan. 'Tis not as bad as the time he visited Limerick. If I'd had to hear one more poem that started with, There once was a goddess from Sparta—"
"I've got it!" Apollo announced. "I am so awesome. That's five syllables!" He bowed, looking very pleased with himself. Naruto felt an intense headache coming on. "And now, sis. Transportation for the Hunters, you say? Good timing. I was just about ready to roll."
"These demigods will also need a ride," Artemis said, pointing to us. "Some of Chiron's campers."
"No problem!" Apollo checked them out, eyes briefly stopping on both Thalia and Percy. An odd look gleamed in his eyes. At this, Naruto stepped forward, finally involving himself in this whole debacle. Upon noticing him, Apollo paled, and removed the sunglasses that had been covering his eyes. The man's eyes were blue, with a white halo surrounding his iris.
"Naruto! Didn't see you there… How've you been? Work been good?" Apollo spoke quickly, attempting to engage with the blonde mercenary.
"Good enough. I'll be taking a ride to Camp as well."
"That's great! Maybe we could catch up during the ri-"
"Not interested." At this, Apollo pouted, a childish frown adorning his face. With that, he clicked a button and with a flash the porsche turned into a shuttle bus. Zoe ordered the Hunters to start loading. She picked up her camping pack, and Apollo said, "Here, sweetheart. Let me get that."
Zoe recoiled. Naruto tensed, and let out a low growl.
"Brother," Artemis chided. "You do not help my Hunters. You do not look at, talk to, or flirt with my Hunters. And you do not call them sweetheart."
Apollo spread his hands in mock innocence. "Sorry, forgot. Hey, sis, where are you off to, anyway?"
"Hunting," Artemis said. "It's none of your business."
"I'll find out. I see all. Know all."
Artemis snorted. "Just drop them off, Apollo. Naruto, make sure he doesn't make a complete ass of himself. I will see you by winter solstice. Zoe, you are in charge of the Hunters. Do well. Do as I would do."
Zoȅ straightened. "Yes, my lady."
Artemis knelt and touched the ground as if looking for tracks. When she rose, she looked troubled. "So much danger. The beast must be found."
She sprinted toward the woods and melted into the snow and shadows.
Apollo turned and grinned, jangling the car keys on his finger. "So," he said. "Who wants to drive?"
The contingent of campers and Hunters filed onto the bus. Naruto took a seat towards the front, next to Thalia. Across from them sat Percy, Annabeth, and Grover. Zoe sits a few seats away next to one of her fellow hunters, looking at Naruto and Thalia curiously. They sat quietly, before Thalia turned to him.
"So… Lord Apollo is your dad?" At this, Naruto snorts, and nods.
"Regrettably. You could say that where he is the light, I am the shadow, and you'd be more correct than you know." Thalia looked at the mysterious blonde enigma, and quickly shook her head, snapping herself out of her daze.
"You don't really seem to like him very much," Thalia observed. Naruto nodded in response.
"Yeah. Like all Olympians, he's kind of a neglectful dick. Except, he has a habit of royally fucking things up for everyone, especially with his prophecies," he muttered darkly. Thalia grimaced, nodding in understanding. After a few seconds pause, she continued.
"So… you and Nightshade, huh? What's up with that?" Naruto tensed.
"You ask a lot of questions."
Cheekily, the daughter of Zeus replied, "You look like you're full of answers." At this, Naruto outright laughed. It was a startlingly warm sound, filled with mirth, and left Thalia and several hunters blushing.
"Zoe and I.. it's complicated. I was someone who she could relate to, someone who understood her pain and could talk to her as a peer. I never attempted to do anything more than simply be her friend. Eventually, she began to develop feelings, feelings that I wouldn't let myself have, and as a result, I left. That's the short of it." Naruto said wistfully. He surprised Thalia with his forthcomingness.
"She loved you, and you didn't love her?"
"It wasn't as simple as that. I… cared for her, however, because of that, I had to go. You know the hunter's oath?" He asked.
"To never fall in love, unless you wish to be exiled from the hunt and stripped of immortality."
"Exactly. I was unsure of my feelings, and on the off chance I didn't actually love her, I left so she wouldn't lose everything she held dear. I know what it's like to lose the people you consider your family." He explained, a look of detachment in his eyes. Thalia shivered.
"Why come to Camp?"
"I have a job. The Di Angelo's' father contracted me to look after them, and I owe him pretty majorly. So, that's exactly what I'll do, until the contract is fulfilled." With that, the conversation came to a close because Naruto stood up, and went to speak with his father, the driver. Grover slid over to where the blond was previously sitting.
"So. You seem pretty snug with mister big, sunny, and dangerous," Grover wiggled his eyebrows suggestively. Lightning crackled.
"Let me zap you back into reality, sheep-boy."
A/N: Yo! This is my own little Percy Jackson/Naruto Crossover! Let me know what you think, I'll be working on this baby for a while. Chappies will be longer, of course, this is just an idea I've been tossing around for a bit. Gimme some reviews! Also. Cookie to guess the ringtone right, which is coincidentally also my ringtone. Crazy. Characters that are OOC are by design, and it'll be explained at some point or another. If you don't like it, that's okay, if you do, that's better. I'll be writing this regardless, but no promises on frequency, I'm a busy guy.
