Chapter 03

"I will ask again, Horse man, where am I staying." he says in an annoyed tone, for the last 2 days he has been kept in the 'Big House' as others called it due to his heritage confusing them. He couldn't stay in his mother's cabin since it had a sign showing a chibi Kushina on it saying "Getting renovated for my son" which made him laugh.

Chiron sighed. "Well I just got a letter from Lady Artemis saying for you to stay in her cabin so you can go there, though I'd say a prayer asking permission just to be safe, she has been known to change men who try to enter into a jackalope." he explains.

Naruto nods, heading off. He didn't mind having a fiancé, it kind of made him happy, someone had wished to marry him. Sure he'd get to know her first before going through with it, he did not want a loveless marriage.

As he walked to the cabin he noticed the campers looking at him… again. Ever since he was claimed they were wary of him. He was 93% god so it was bound to worry others. They had started to give him nicknames. There was Prince of the Demigods, Demi-Deity, Near-God and even the Male Huntress. He didn't mind them but he wasn't fond of the staring.

He walked up to the silver cabin, it looked beautiful. He put his hands on the door and smiled. Lady Artemis, please grant me permission to enter your cabin and use it as a place to rest. He prays to her. As he finishes the doors fly open and flowers grow and bud near the entrance. He chuckles. Well that's a yes if I ever saw it. he thinks as he bows before entering, he didn't know the customs too well over here but rather safe than sorry, or a rabbit in this case.

He was in awe of the insides of the cabin as he shut the door behind him. It smelled of the outdoors. The floor looked that of grass, the walls were olive green with silver vines all across the walls and even writing out names, which he figured were for her hunters. The beds were olive green blankets with silver sheets. There was a bathroom at the end with showers. He looked around until he saw a door with his mother's symbol over it.

He walked up to it to see a note pinned to the door.

Dear Naruto,

I hope you enjoy my cabin, you are the first ever male to enter it. As the claiming stated you are my fiancé. I have watched your life to see if you were worthy and I have to say you are definitely the only man worthy of me.

You cared more about your precious people than yourself. You have achieved something no one else has ever achieved. Peace.

Only rules I have are when my hunters are here you respect them and be cautious when you enter and leave the cabin. Do not disturb the beds outside your room.

I cannot wait to meet you in person. I am in need to give you some gifts.

Enjoy my cabin and be respectful, though I know you will be.

With love,

Your fiancé

Artemis

He smiles at the letter. "You certainly have yourself a nice fiancé there, Kit" Kurama says with a smile, happy that Naruto finally has someone who wants to be with him.

Naruto nods as he enters his room. It looks like that of the other room except the bed is bigger and there is a desk with a picture of his mother in her Kushina form and her godly form. She had bronze hair and bronze eyes wearing a cream colored dress that made her look lovely. He smiled and hung up his sage cloak on the back of the desk chair and set his storage scroll atop the desk.

He smiles at his room and heads out smiling as he exits the cabin. Thanks Artemis.

"You are quite welcome," a melodious voice says behind him. He jumps up being startled by the presence behind him. He turns around to see a girl roughly his age with auburn hair flowing down her back and bangs slightly covering her cheeks and glowing silver eyes, her lips were light pink and full and curved in a smile. She wore an olive green top with a silver parka with olive green jeans. On her forehead was a silver tiara and on her back was a silver bow and quiver.

He stared at her breathlessly, she was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. She laughed at his expression, even her laugh was melodious. "Why I didn't know I would have this much of an effect on you," she said with a smile and light blush hidden under her hair.

He shook off his stupor. "A-Artemis?" he half says and half asks.

She smiles happily and turns around. "I am glad you were able to identify me so easily." she says sporting a light blush on her face.

He stares at her. This is my fiancé!? She is beautiful!' he thinks to himself to hear a whistle in his head.

"You have definitely lucked out there, Kit." Kurama says with a smirk.

He shakes the thoughts out of his head then bows to Artemis. "L-Lady Artemis I am sorry I didn't know it was you." he says to her.

She smiles and places a hand on his shoulder. "I do not wish for you to bow to me, you are to be my husband and please call me Artemis." she says in a caring tone.

He stands up and rubs the back of his head. "Not trying to be rude at all Artemis but to what do I owe this visit?" he smiles at her nervous.

She chuckles. "I wished to visit you and give you some gifts before you undoubtedly leave camp."

He chuckles. "Ah so let me guess mom figured that out." he says rubbing the back of his neck.

She nods. "Yes so I would like to give you this." she hands him a compass the size of his fist. "This compass will lead you to 4 different locations, silver arrow means me, blue arrow is my lieutenant Zoe, she will help you if you ever need it, green arrow is my hunters and the golden arrow is the location of a god or an area of godly worth, do be careful in those areas. All you have to do is hold the compass and think of the arrow you want. Also the compass will show you the name of the area and how far away it is." She holds the compass in front of him and the arrow turns blue and below it reads. "Zoe Nightshade 2188 miles west of Yellowstone National Park." She hands it to him. "Also if you ever lose it just say 'I wish for directions to my Darling' and it will appear in your pocket again but know this, if you arrive at my hunt while I am there it will tell me you are ready to be wed. You can travel around until you wish to wed me." she says with a light blush. "Also one last thing."

She grabs ahold of his left hand and places a soft kiss on his ring finger and a pure silver ring appears on it. "That is proof of our engagement, it will give you great skill with a bow and arrow and the ability to speak to animals like I can." she gets a light blush. "As well as it will keep you from being excited by any other woman except me." She made sure it could even withstand Aphrodite, she didn't trust that the Love Goddess wouldn't try something. "It can only be removed by you and I, though I would wish for you to keep it on always." She finishes and turns around to hide a dark blush. She had never laid a kiss on any part of a man before so it was an embarrassing ordeal.

He smiled inspecting the gifts she gave. "Thank you very much Artemis, they are lovely gifts. I won't let them leave my side." he says flashing her a caring smile making her blush darker, she had never been thanked by a male before and since the first was her fiancé it made it more so embarrassing.

She took a breath and died down her blush. "You are welcome, Naruto. Your mother wished for you to know she loves you, stay safe and she will see you soon." she says as she walks past him.

He turns around only to she had disappeared. He smiles and kisses his ring. "Thank you again Artemis, I won't keep you waiting to marry too long."

The next day. Naruto sat with his legs dangling off the pier and into the water wearing black shorts and a dark orange short sleeve button up shirt wearing the necklace he got from Tsunade. Strangely, contact with water annoyed him a bit. Might be due to the fact 2 of his godly relatives were heavily fire related. He sighed and looked at the sky, it seemed to have a storm all around the borders. Hell yesterday some kid came in after killing the Minotaur apparently. He sighed, camp was boring. He was all packed to leave but he wanted to explore camp some more.

He turned around as he heard someone walk up. It was a girl, she had wavy blonde hair and grey eyes. Her eyes looked like she was trying to figure him out. "Hi there." she said with a smile as she sat down next to him. "I'm Annabeth Chase".

He nodded. "Naruto Uzumaki, though you already know that." he said looking down at the lake to see 2 girls waving up at him, he raises an eyebrow but doesn't care.

"Sounds Japanese." she says, writing something down in a little notepad.

He sighed and looked at her, he had no idea what this Japanese was. "Well your name is weird too."

She frowned a bit but shook it off. "Well I guess so, I'm a child of Athena."

He nods. "Figured since you have her eyes according to my mother's blessing." he says, making her curious.

"Mother's blessing?" he nods

"Yup, apparently if I see something related to a god or goddess I can get knowledge about said god or goddess from it." he says making Annabeth burst with ideas.

"Well how do you like camp?" she asks him, hoping he enjoyed it.

He groans louder. "It is so boring, I'm definitely leaving later today." he says getting up.

"Um you can't leave." she says to him worried.

He shakes his head. "Yes I can, I already have the okay from my mother and my fiancé. I was planning it before they even said I could. I've always been one to travel around." he stretches and starts to walk off.

"That isn't a wise decision." she says following him.

He laughs at her pun. "Well it sure isn't a heated one either." he smirked at his pun, since he has lots of fire in him from Hestia and Hephaestus.

She sweat drops at his pun. "Well why don't you decide after you join my team in capture the—" she tries to finish but is cut off by him turning around.

"Nope, not one to play games with kids. I am a warrior that has fought in war. I'd be over kill and it would bore me." he says walking off towards his cabin.

Annabeth groaned, a power house demi-deity that could have helped her win and possibly get a quest. She needed to find Grover, he had the ability to befriend stubborn demi-gods, that boy Percy was proof enough since he had returned with him yesterday.
