Shade was leading the small group through a stone pebble path with a thick mist floating over the surface. Thankfully, it wasn't that thick to be hard to see but the deeper they ventured towards the hidden passageway, the thicker the mist gets. Sometimes, Thanerah would have to sniff to know which is who since everybody was slowly turning into shadows to her eyes through the mist.

Hidan – who was next to her the entire time – was checking Thanerah was always by his side. He wrapped an arm around her shoulder just to be certain that she won't get lost through the thick mist. Thanerah felt grateful for her husband's protection, it made her feel very special and it always sent her heart sky rocketing with just a simple touch.

Shade suddenly stopped and signaled everyone to hold in their position. Everyone froze but their bodies went tense. Shade didn't say a single word but he was looking around the area with narrow eyes since the fog was making it hard for him to see a bit.

Hidan asked Shade softly "What the fuck is the matter now?"

Suddenly a noise of cluttering iron was heard and it was close. Everyone went into their fighting position and immediately aimed towards the sound. The air was getting tense and Thanerah didn't realize that she was holding her breath with her heart racing painfully in her chest.

As expected, a Death Walker appeared but it was immediately shot by one of the armed Phantoms. But there was only one Death Walker. Everyone was thinking the same question: What the hell?

Hidan asked as mumbled in confusion as the rest "Shouldn't there be more coming…? I don't fucking like this." He pulled his weapon out from his back as it expanded to its fullest.

Thunder was growling softly but he was using his senses to detect something coming but he heard nothing. *[I don't hear anything…I don't think anymore will be coming any time soon. But we shouldn't let our guard down. I can sense my cousins nearby.]* he thought to Thanerah.

Thanerah nodded to Thunder and said to the others "Ukrahs are nearby. We should keep moving."

Shade nodded in agreement "Agreed."

Nobody put their weapons away but they continued to walk on the path towards the Sacred Chambers while hearing the cries of the Ukrahs from afar.

Hidan stopped when he saw an opened cracked that's wide enough to fit a person inside. He stood beside Shade as he said "This is it." He turned to glance at Hidan with a warning glance "Whatever you do, ignore as much as you can. Don't fall into temptation."

"Do you know what we're facing exactly? Or do intend to have another brilliant fucking plan to get inside the chamber without getting killed."

Shade narrowed his eyes at him in annoyance. Thanerah could tell that he wanted to rip Hidan's head off at any moment now. But he held the urge…for now. Shade growled uncontrollably "I'm just telling you not to put your guard down at all when we're inside. I didn't dare to stay in there any longer when I first entered it."

"Oh? So you brought us here for nothing?" Hidan asked with a small growl of annoyance as he crossed his arms on his chest while glaring at Shade.

Shade took a daring step towards Hidan while glaring at him as well "Watch your tongue, human. Do you want to die before you step out of here?"

Hidan scoffed with a confident smirk "I fucking dare you to try. Many tried and failed…horribly."

The tension between was getting worse so Thanerah stepped between them while facing Shade "Please, can we continue concentrating on the task at hand? You want to save your friend or not?"

Shade glanced at her then glared back at Hidan but he took a step back without a word of protest. Hidan glanced at Thanerah as well and whispered to her in her ear "Babe, that wasn't really fucking necessary…"

She whispered back to him while glancing at him "I know, but I couldn't just watch you two fighting each other while we need to save his friend and get the spirit before it's too late. I just want to get out of here before the Ukrahs or Death Walkers find us."

Hidan sighed softly in defeat but he decided to behave for now. Shade said to the group "All right, let's get this over with."

Thanerah was going to take a step but she suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder that stopped her. "You first" demanded Hidan while softly glaring at Shade. Shade just sneered at Hidan then simply went through the open cracked wall and disappeared into the darkness. Hidan turned his head to his men and nodded towards the passageway. One by one, everyone entered until it was only Hidan and Thanerah left.

Thanerah knew he wanted to talk to her, so she asked him "What's on your mind?"

Hidan glanced at the passageway then look back to Thanerah. "I just…have a bad fucking feeling about this. I hate having these fucking doubts…" he diverted his eyes from her to the ground. However, Thanerah stepped closer to him and lifted his face up by putting a hand under his chin.

"Hidan, you can trust me. I know what must be done. We just need to get in there to get the spirit and save their friend, and then we're out of here."

"I fucking know that but…what about the others? How the fuck are we going to bring them out of here without opening the damn door? I can't fucking risk it, but if that comes to that, we'll have to fucking kill them."

"...Surely there must be a way. Look, I'll talk to my father after we're done in the chambers. He'll know what to do."

Hidan let out a small laugh as he slightly rolled his eyes to the dark sky "Of course he does…" Then suddenly, his expression turned into a shocking one when he realized something. "Holy shit, Lord Jashin is now my father-in-law…"

Thanerah giggled softly then leaned forward to give him a quick peck on the lips. She lingered a little longer than she thought but then she pulled away. She said to him with a genuine smile "Welcome to the family."

Hidan smirked with a small laugh as he lazily rested his hands on her waist. He said to her "You know, it's been a while since we were like this. Everything is absolutely fucked up…"

Thanerah leaned her head on his hard chest as she agreed with him "I know, love. I know…"

Suddenly, they heard some Ukrah screeching coming nearby so Hidan had to end their little 'moment'. He slightly pulled away from her so he could look down at her face "We should get in before they come."

"Right…" she sighed softly in disappointment but obeyed.

Thanerah went through the small dark passage into the inside of the Sacred Chambers. It was…gloomier than she thought it would be. There were ancient tombs lying around, some were destroyed, cracked or still intact. The air in the chamber was incredibly heavy as if the air hasn't escaped for many years or something foal is lingering in the air that is suffocating her slowly. Hidan soon came out from the small passage way and looked at his surroundings.

"Shit…it has been a fucking while since the last time I came here…Fuck, what is that damn fucking smell?" he mumbled as he asked while pinching his nose with an unpleasant look on his face.

Shade glanced at the couple over his shoulder and asked "Finally, what took you two so long?"

Hidan glared at him as he pulled his hand away from his face before he answered "It's none of your fucking business."

Shade just growled softly and then looked around the ancient chamber. "Damn it, where is he…?" he asked himself as he mumbled.

Thunder suddenly jerked his head to the side and suddenly pounced behind some broken tombs in a speed of lightning. Everyone went tense as they heard a shout from behind the broken tombs "H-Hey! Let go of me!" Thunder was suddenly pulling a man from behind the broken tomb by his ankle; no doubt that he's bleeding from Thunder's bitten.

Shade growled at him as he glared at the man before Thunder released his bleeding ankle. The man shouted in pain "Shit! This damn hurts! Someone get a medical kit!"

Shade shook his head in disproval and scowled him "You deserve that, Thorn! You should have known better than to come here alone! What in the name of Zevrah have you been thinking!"

Thorn glared up at Shade and scowled back "Well, I'm sorry for dragging your asses here but as you can see, I'm fine!"

"If you were fine, how come you didn't come back to the camp!" asked Rhino as he crossed his arms on his chest crossly.

"Because I was still looking for the damn key! And I was trapped in here by a small cave-in."

"Talk about dumb luck…" grumbled one of the wolf companions.

Thorn shouted in protest "Hey!"

Shade quickly slapped his hand over Thorn's mouth to shush him then he glanced at the tombs. Thanerah looked as well and didn't realized that she could see some slight shadow figures hovering over the tombs with a green mist coming out from them, but it was their glowing sharp eyes that made her to freeze in her spot.

However, Thanerah couldn't tear her eyes away from the attracting glowing eyes but Hidan quickly blocked her view which made her snap back into reality. "Thanerah, concentrate. We're here to get the fucking 8th spirit. Don't let the dead distract you."

Thanerah gulped and shook her head to get her mind working. She could hear some low faint voices going through her mind. She wondered if she was going through insanity or something. Hidan saw her slight discomfort and said to her "Thanerah, don't listen to the voices. Do you fucking understand me? Don't listen to them. Push them out."

Thanerah groaned softly as she grabbed hold of her head "I-It's nearly…impossible…Th-They're talking at the sa-same time…It's hard what they're trying to…say…"

Hidan shook her violently which surprised her "Snap the fuck out, Thanerah! Don't give in now! And do the fucking job already so we can get the fuck home!"

Thanerah stared at him shockingly but she knew that Hidan was trying to keep her concentrated from the voices. She shook her head again to try to draw out the voices out of her head and softly pushed herself away from her husband. "All right, let's do this fast."

Thanerah quickly pulled out her eye scope to scan the area to find the 8th spirit faster. She quickly scanned the area as she tried her best to ignore the ghosts that were slowly appearing and turning more visible to her with every second passing. And they were all staring at her.

Thanerah rubbed her eyes a bit to try to calm herself and she felt slightly dizzy because many ghosts were appearing at the same time. Hidan quickly asked her "Tha, what the fuck is wrong?"

She answered without her hand leaving from her eyes "Th-There's so many of them…"

Hidan arched a brow and glanced forward to see the only faint ghost in the middle of the chamber while looking at them. It was really creepy and taunting how the ghost was just stood there whilst staring at Thanerah so intensely and no one else. Hidan wondered if this has to do with Thanerah being Lord Jashin's daughter.

Hidan asked her softly "How many are there?"

"…T-Too many…I can't see the 8th spirit this way…" she groaned as she grab hold on the side of her head. "Argh, the voices…they're getting louder…What are they saying!"

Hidan brought her into a tight embrace as she was biting the bottom of her lip that caused her to bleed. He demanded to the soldiers "Find the 8th spirit! Extract it with this!" Hidan dug his hand in Thanerah's back pack and threw the extract container to one of the soldiers. Once they got the container, they immediately spread.

Shade asked Thorn softly "Tell me you find something worth." Thorn sadly shook his head. Shade cursed under his breath as he pulled his hand away from Thorn's mouth.

Hidan didn't cease his hold around his suffering wife. He had never seen her like this. Cringing, a painful expression, cold sweat already formed on her brow, her bottom lip bleeding and dripping from her chin by biting her bottom lip so hard to prevent her scream to be heard.

Hidan couldn't bear to see her in pain so he shouted "That's it! I'm taking her out of here! I knew this was a bad fucking idea to bring her here!" Hidan was going to go through the passageway but it was soon blocked by ghosts. Soon, the small group was surrounded by an army of ghosts and the Phantom soldiers froze in their spot as they were surrounded as well.

Hidan cursed under his breath as he felt Thanerah whimpering softly against his chest. Hidan shouted at the ghost as he backed away from them "What the fuck do you want!" The ghosts just stared at them constantly. They were torturing them under their gaze.

Thanerah suddenly stopped whimpering and her body went incredibly tense. Hidan hesitated to look down at her as he asked her softly "Tha…?"

Thanerah jerked her head up to look at Hidan with a shock expression and two words escaped from her lips "Turn back…"

Hidan arched a brow as he narrowed his eyes at her "What?"

Thanerah repeated herself "Turn back…They're telling me to turn back. They say this place is…dangerous and we're in grave danger if we stay here any longer."

"But we have to find the fucking 8th spirit. There is no other fucking way."

Then the ghost suddenly disappeared as if nothing happened. Shade whistled low and long as he looked at his surroundings "All right, that was damn creepy."

Hidan ignored him and asked Thanerah "What were they saying to you?"

"…There are Death Walkers nearby. Deeper in the chamber and the 8th spirit is there. That is also where the Death Walkers are nested."

"…what other choices do we have?"

"…none, I'm afraid."

Hidan sighed heavily as he slightly loosened his hold around her "I'm going to fucking regret this…IF we survive that long…"
