I haven't written anything in almost half a year! Lol. I have a multiple amount of reasons to give that could explain away why I was gone. I have two reasons why I'm not going to tell you any of them. One; I don't want to look like some kind of attention hog that only cares about people pitying me. Two; I wish to see all (Insert small number here) of my readers squirm. Naruto/Percy Jackson crossover. Why am I doing it? I can't quite tell you, but I felt like it was my turn... without further adieu, let's do this thing.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Naruto had two things going for him currently. One; he was still alive. Two; so was Kurama. That should have been all he was worrying about currently. Unfortunately he had a multitude of things that where going wrong currently.
One; he didn't know where he was. Two; he was hungry. Three; he was sore. Four; Kurama was now 8 inches tall and on his shoulder, really useful. Five; he was completely drained of chakra from his last fight. Six; possibly the worst thing in his large list of problems.
Princess Kaguya was not dead. Terrible news, but it gets worse. The all knowing god and giver of chakra seemed to be a little girl. Naruto wasn't the smartest kunai in the pouch; zing; but he knew that this wasn't going to turn out too good.
He took a step toward the young girl and she inched back in distrust. Why didn't she trust him? What did he do to her; besides try and kill her... Well that's one question answered.
"Is that Kaguya?" Kurama asked.
His voice was a much higher pitch due to him being so small. Something Naruto noticed almost instantly.
"You sound like a squeaky toy." Kurama reacted by latching onto Naruto's ear with his jaw.
"AH! LET GO, I WAS KIDDING!" They heard a soft giggle in front of them.
It seemed the young Princess Kaguya was laughing. Kurama stopped assaulting Naruto's ear to see if his eyes where deceiving him. They were not.
This seemed to be an interesting development. Naruto took another step forward, but the young girl would have none of that an took another tentative two steps back.
"Don't worry... I won't hurt you." Naruto said.
"Naruto... Can I have a word with you?" Kurama asked.
"Let me do this first Kurama."
The small fox looked at Naruto for a second before nodding his head in recognition.
"Do you know your name?" Naruto asked the young girl while inching forward.
The young girl nodded her head.
"It's Princess Kaguya right?" Naruto asked.
She nodded in confirmation.
Things seemed to be going in a weird direction currently. Naruto had absolutely no idea what to do at this point. He was originally supposed to whoop her ass and make her undo all the damage she had done prior, but now she was a little girl. Would it be immoral to beat a little girl to near death? He didn't know.
"Don't worry Kaguya-chan. I won't hurt you." Naruto said while lowering himself down to her level. His eyesight seemed to be quite poor in the dark, but now that he was closer to her he could make out her more defining features.
She wore a hime-Kimono that differed slightly to the one she had when she was a full blown god. This one had absolutely no designs on it whatsoever but still remained white.
She still had her Byakugan and her third Eye was closed, leaving a vertical slit in its place. Two horns protruded from her head and her long white hair easily reached the ground.
She seemed to be under four feet in height making her seem defenseless.
She looked Naruto in the eyes, as if trying to tell if he was telling the truth or not. Seeing no reason not to trust the dopey looking blond who only seemed to wear Orange and black, she walked toward him. She held her hand out, hoping to be lifted up. Naruto did just that.
He picked the small girl up into his arms and stood up once again.
"Now to figure out where I am." Naruto said aloud to himself.
"Do you remember what happened?" Kurama asked.
"Nope. I think I'll just follow these white line things." Naruto said, deciding this was going to have to be his game plan for now.
"Is this some kind of road?" Kurama asked.
Kaguya decided at that exact moment that the young fox was cute and needed attention, so she grabbed onto the foxes ear. Hard.
"OW!" Kurama let out in pain.
Kaguya flinched in fear and hid herself by burying her face into Naruto's chest.
"Hey be nice to her Kurama." Naruto said, still trying to figure out where he was going.
"But-"
"She's just a kid."
"Traitor..." Kurama mumbled to himself.
He decided he would entertain himself by trying to figure out what they where walking on. It couldn't be a road, there wasn't any dirt. It was just concrete. Who would want to roll a wagon on concrete?
They where so distracted they didn't notice the bright lights coming in from behind him.
Naruto was hit pretty hard from the back, sending him flying.
It wasn't the hardest hit he'd ever taken, but it hurt pretty bad. His main priority was to make sure that Princess Kaguya was safe. He skidded across the concrete ground, making sure to keep his back to the ground so as to not let Kaguya get hurt.
Kurama didn't fair so well seeing as he flew a bit farther and landed face first into the concrete, skidding with his face.
Soon there momentum halted and Naruto slowly got up while holding the now shivering Princess in his arms.
"You alright Kaguya-chan?" Naruto asked.
She was too scared to answer so Naruto would just have to wait for her to calm down.
"WHAT ABOUT ME YOU BRAT!" Kurama yelled from across the concrete 'road'.
"STOP BEING A WHINY BABY!" Naruto yelled back to the downed fox.
"I'm so sorry!" Came the shout of an older woman with brown curly hair. Any other features couldn't be made out due to the fact her head was hanging out of what seemed to be a metal box on wheels.
"Am I under attack Kurama?" Naruto asked.
Kurama, who had found his way back onto his partners shoulders, had no idea how to respond to that.
The woman's head went back into the box and she drove around, obviously in such a big hurry that she didn't even really notice that Naruto was unharmed.
"How's Kaguya-hime?" Kurama asked as he watched the box thing go around them.
"I don't know. Are you feeling better Kaguya-chan?" Naruto asked as nicely as he possibly could.
She nodded her head.
"Well I don't know about you Kurama, but I have absolutely no idea what happened just now."
"You where clearly attacked!"
"Ya think so?" Naruto asked.
"Definitely."
It seemed he was now at war with box people that had bright lights. He was unsure on what he did to garner their hatred of him, but he was lucky he was attacked by what seemed to be the more understanding of this clearly alien species.
'Follow the car' A voice rung inside his head.
Naruto was somewhat startled by it. The voice seemed feminine in nature and he felt deep down inside of himself that this voice was... Obviously apart of the indigenous species and was not to be trusted.
'Alright strange voice... Give me one good reason why I should follow that...'
'Car.'
'Car...' Naruto thought.
'Trust me.'
Naruto had this odd feeling inside his stomach like the voice could be trusted. Like he knew it from somewhere. But the thought soon passed as he realized that the feeling wasn't trust, but hunger.
'I'm going to go ahead and not trust you...' Naruto thought to the voice.
He was going to have to figure out what to do in this situation now. He could probably abduct one of these... 'Car' people and aggressively convince them to help him out. He wouldn't say torture because good guys just aggressively interrogated. There was a difference.
'Don't do that.' The voice said, clearly reading Naruto's thoughts.
So now the voice thought she could tell him what to do? Now they had a problem.
'I'm your mother.' The voice said at last.
Naruto's eyes widened momentarily before narrowing on the concrete road.
'I don't know what kind of game your playing, but I don't like it.' Naruto responded, not appreciating this voices sense of humor.
'It's not a game. I'm Kushina. Sort of.'
To say Naruto was shocked would be an understatement. This voice obviously knew about his past. He would have to be careful.
'I really am your mother!' The voice said, beginning to get annoyed.
And now she was angry. Obviously this voice wasn't to good at keeping her temper in check. Obviously she was mad at herself for lying to him.
'I'm not lying!'
Typical liar. Never admits to lying, but everyone knew the truth. To make matters worse, she wasn't even any good at it.
He shook his head in disappointment.
'Would you stop mocking me?'
Now the obviously lying and evil voice thought everything was about her. Here he was, completely lost-
'If you would follow the car like I'm telling you too, then you wouldn't be lost!'
And she was rude! Completely cut him off from his train of thought.
'Alright voice inside of my head. What do I find following that car?' Naruto thought.
'Safety.' She answered vaguely
"Kurama, there's a voice inside my head and it's telling me to follow the car that just hit us." Naruto told the fox.
"That things called a car?"
"I guess."
"Why does she want you to follow the car?" Kurama asked.
"She just told me it was for safety." Naruto answered.
"To vague... Don't trust it."
"Ok."
'Are you serious?! Tell the Kyuubi that it's Kushina!' The voice demanded.
"She says that she's Kushina."
"And she's a liar? Definitely don't trust her now! Instead we should track down one of these, 'cars', and aggressively interrogate it!"
"That's what I was saying Dattebayo!"
'WOULD YOU JUST TRUST ME THIS ONCE?!'
Now the voice was shouting. Clearly it was a voice belonging to somebody who couldn't properly control their emotions. Maybe Naruto could offer this voice some help and a little advice so as-
'Look Naruto... I don't know why your doing this but if you can't trust me, then let me prove it to you.'
'Prove away!' Naruto responded.
'Your father's name was Namikaze Minato. I was a Jinchuuriki to the Nine tailed demon fox and died when Madara attacked the village sixteen years ago.'
Obviously this voice wasn't in the loop because everyone knew that, if she was really his mother then she would know what her own favorite food was.
'Salt Ramen...'
'OH MY GOD!IT'S REALLY YOU!' Naruto then promptly fell on his butt, shocking both Kurama and Kaguya in the process.
'Now will you follow that car?' the voice asked.
What a caring voice. It obviously had his best intentions at heart and loved him deeply. He would follow this voice to the ends of the earth.
'(Sigh)'
Naruto then began to run. The car had about a 20 minute lead on him. So he was going to have to go fast. He took off into a dead sprint. It wouldn't take him to long to catch up to this car creature if the speed that the thing took off at was any indication. He should catch up to it pretty soon. All he had to do was follow the road tell he reached it. Hopefully there where no turns that would make him choose which way to go.
Luck was on his side because after about 3 minutes of sprinting and he assumed quite a few miles gained, he reached the car.
It was dead.
'Now what voice?' Naruto asked.
'There where people inside of that car. Find their sent and follow it.' the voice explained.
Naruto took a whiff of the air around the car, now clearly telling that she was indeed right. There where people in the car at one point. Now he just had to find the trail.
He sniffed around for a bit finding what he was looking for.
He then took off.
Didn't take him long to reach a hill, which he decided to scale as quickly as possible. Once he reached the top he saw what seemed to be some kind of sign thing that wasn't in a language that he knew of but could read for some odd reason.
"Camp Half Blood..."
"You can read that thing?" Kurama asked.
"Today's been really confusing. Let's just go with it."
"I guess." Kurama responded.
'See what happens when you listen to my advice?' The voice asked.
'Thanks...'
'Now look for a man called Chiron. He should be able to help you get settled in. But you won't be able to bring your friends.'
'I retract my thank you.'
'I'm sorry Naruto, but those two can't get through the gate.' The voice told him.
Naruto did not heed her warning and tried to walk through any way. When he did...
He was successful.
'How is that possible?!'
'Dunno. I'm going to find this Chiron guy now.'
The voice disappeared.
Thank goodness. It was getting annoying.
