Suicidal Love::Hidan::Ch.11 Dance

Hidan and Thanerah walked to the large mansion with his arm around Thanerah's lower waist while her heart was beating rapidly in her chest like drums; she could even hear them. *I wonder where Kakuzu is* thought Thanerah as she scanned the area with the corner of her eyes until they suddenly stopped when a guard approached them. "Your cards please, sir?" asked the guard. Thanerah's heart skipped a beat *Cards? What cards!* but Hidan seemed to be calm, he dig his hand in his jacket and pulled out a golden card with an initial H on it in deep red. Hidan passed the card to the guard and he did a quick scan before he nodded then passed the card back to Hidan.

"Welcome to the ball, Mr and Mrs...Popperhem" greeted the guard, Thanerah and Hidan flinched when they heard their 'surname' and thought with a growl *Kakuzu...* they nodded to the guard as he stood by the side and they both entered the big large doors to the mansion.

Thanerah gasped when she saw the ball room, it was incredibly beautiful with a large chandelier hanging by the ceiling while people were dancing in the middle, while others were mingling, drinking or eating. Hidan was grumbling many cursed words under his breath about Kakuzu since he was still a bit angry about the surname which they were given for their undercover mission.

Then Thanerah asked Hidan "Where's Kakuzu?" Hidan shrugged his shoulders and said "I don't know it could be anyone's guess" "Did he say where he was going?" "He said that he'll do the rest of the mission. Our only job is to distract the audience" "And how do you suppose we do that?" Hidan cheeks started to turn a bit pink but thankfully his mask covered most part of it. "We'll have to dance" Thanerah stared at him with her jaw dropped.

Hidan asked her "You do know how to dance?" Thanerah nodded her head then she asked Hidan softly "Are you serious? We have to dance?" Hidan nodded, he didn't seem happy himself. Thanerah felt dizzy so she said to Hidan "I need a drink" Hidan wrapped his arm around her shoulder and said "Yeah, I need one too" then he lead Thanerah to the drinking bar with Thanerah.

When they got there Hidan immediately ordered "Two sakes!" the bartender nodded and immediately retrieve the order. Thanerah just couldn't believe of what she had to do with Hidan, they drinks came then the bartender left to deliver the other customer's drinks. Hidan took a shot swiftly and then nudged Thanerah softly on the arm with his elbow "Hey come on, we don't have much time" Thanerah nodded then took a shot of her sake, she felt the familiar burning sensation in her throat and felt her nerves relaxed a bit.

Then Hidan asked "You ready?" Thanerah nodded, Hidan put a hand out for Thanerah to accept and she did, then Hidan guided her to the dance-floor.

Kakuzu was disguised as a waiter with the transformation-jutsu after he knocked out one of the waiters and put him in a closet. Kakuzu hold the tray of the food for the Feudal Lord and apply some poison in the Feudal Lord's drink of whine. Then he walked down the grand hallway to the ball room, when he got there he could see that everyone was distracted by a couple who was dancing at the dance floor. Kakuzu smirked when he saw his partners dancing beautifully and swiftly on the dance-floor.

Kakuzu walked towards the Feudal Lord who was incredibly fat pig man who was surrounded by beautiful women who were feeding him with a lot food and wine. *He won't last long...* thought Kakuzu with a mental grin on his face. He passed the tray of food and drink to one of the women and then left them *Now time to go*

Hidan stopped a bit when he noticed a waiter, nodding to Hidan and he immediately knew that it was Kakuzu in disguise *Time to go* then he stopped the dance by giving Thanerah a big dip before everyone clapped in awe. Hidan and Thanerah pulled away and bowed down to everyone before Hidan wrapped an arm around Thanerah's waist and whispered to her in her ear "It's time to go, sweetheart" Thanerah blushed but nodded and followed Hidan out of the mansion, they both quickly ventured into the woods before they heard a loud scream from the mansion . Hidan and Thanerah stopped when Kakuzu appeared "Good job you two. Never thought it would work so well" said Kakuzu with a teasing grin behind his black mask, Hidan and Thanerah pulled their masks out while Hidan was glaring at him and Thanerah was just blushing.

"Shut the fuck up. It's over now" said Hidan grumpily but Kakuzu continued to smirk at him.

"Well done, to be honest I'm quite surprised that you've done your mission swiftly" said Pein with amusement as Hidan, Kakuzu and Thanerah was in his office. Hidan grumbled many curse words under his breath but didn't say a word, and then Pein said to them "You may go"

Hidan and Thanerah went to their bedroom and Thanerah immediately went to the couch to sit on it but soon she was thrown a small book by Hidan. "What is this?" asked Thanerah "It's a book of Jashinism, start reading" ordered Hidan as he took his cloak off and throw it at the foot of the bed and walked to the bathroom to take a shower. Thanerah sighed heavily then opened the book as she sat on the couch in Indian-style.

After nearly a whole hour Hidan came out of the bathroom with new pants with a white towel on his shoulders with his silver hair dripping wet, Thanerah was still reading the book and she was already half way. Hidan went to his drawer to where he put the mysterious letter in. He took the letter out and sat on his bed as he opened it.

Hidan narrowed his eyes at the letter before stood up from his bed; walked to the dust-bin, tear the letter into a millions pieces and let them fall into the bin. Thanerah arched a brow at Hidan and thought *He looks angry. I wonder what that letter is about* Hidan turned his head to Thanerah to caught her looking at him "What are you looking at, bitch?" he growled, Thanerah immediately flinched and returned her eyes to the book.

Thanerah continued to hear Hidan grumbling as he walked out of the bedroom with a loud bang when he closed the door. *Ok, that letter really pissed him off*

Later that night Thanerah was just lying on her couch-bed while under the covers, she glanced at the empty bed where Hidan is suppose to be and it was already 2 in the morning. *I wonder where Hidan is...* thought Thanerah, suddenly the door was opened and she saw that it was Hidan. She quickly shut her eyes as she heard the door being closed, and then footsteps walked towards her until it stopped just right at her side. Thanerah wouldn't dare to open her eyes because she's afraid that if she did Hidan would scowl her.

Then suddenly she felt light brushes on her cheek and her hair being softly pushed away from her face to the back of her ear. Then she felt Hidan sitting on the edge of the couch while he was caressing her face softly and she could also feel his hot breath on her face. *Wh-What is he doing?* Suddenly she felt a pair of cold but soft lips kissed her forehead "Sweet dreams..." he whispered ever so softly and it made Thanerah's stomach to flip and have many butterflies in her stomach.

Then Hidan stood up from the couch and retreated from Thanerah to go to his bed. Thanerah opened her eyes a bit to watch Hidan was he was walking to the bed, she also noticed that he was nearly covered in dark blood and he was limping a bit. *What was he doing?* thought Thanerah as her eyes widened a bit. She also noticed that his Krystol was on the back of his right hand, and it stretched itself nearly covering Hidan's half torso.

Hidan quietly dropped himself on the bed with a heavy sigh, he breathe in a few times before he hold his breath and whimpered a bit when his Krystol started to decease back to its core. Hidan let out a sigh when his Krystol was back to normal but didn't bother to take it off because he felt exhausted and was terribly wounded. Thanerah could tell because she could smell his blood as well besides the dark ones, because her senses have sharpened ever since she turned into a werewolf.

Then Thanerah couldn't take it anymore and quickly got out of the couch and went to Hidan's side. She reached out to touch his face "Hida-Ah!" she yelped in surprise when Hidan suddenly grabbed her wrist which reached out to him and he flipped her over him so she could lie on the bed beside him, he hover over her and grabbed her throat with his Krystol already forming into a sharp blade with Hidan's eyes shot open in alert.

Thanerah stared wide-eyed at Hidan in fear; he looked into her eyes for a few seconds before he realized who it was. "Tha-Thanerah?" asked Hidan then he glared at her before he growled "What the fuck are you doing? Trying to get yourself killed?" Thanerah glared at him and answered "Well excuse me! But I wasn't the one who is snooping here and there in the middle of the night and is half dead!" "Keep your voice down!" "Keep MY voice down!" then Hidan winced in pain and he grabbed onto his sides, he pulled his hand away to see that it was covered by his blood. "Sh-Shit..." he grumbled.

Thanerah quickly pushed Hidan down on the bed so he was lying on his back and his Krystol shrunk back to normal. Thanerah opened the lamp and gasped when she saw what Hidan is in state. He was nearly covered in black blood mixed with his; he was scratched and bruised all over his body, his clothes torn apart. "What happened to you?" she asked but Hidan just panted heavily with his eyes closed, Thanerah have never seen him so weak before.

Thanerah quickly react by going to the private toilet and found a small towel, she immediately wet it with cold water from the wash basin then retreated back to Hidan. She sat back on the edge of the bed and started to wipe him with the cold wet cloth.

"Why are you not healing as you should have?" asked Thanerah, Hidan smirked a bit and answered tiredly "There are worst things out there than an Urahto. You're lucky that Urahto you've faced was just a pup" Thanerah froze and asked Hidan "A-Are you serious?" Hidan nodded "How big can it grow?" "Say from scale of 1 to 10, the Urahto you faced was just a 2. You're just one of the lucky ones, I guess" Thanerah narrowed her eyes and asked "You mean a bigger Urahto did THIS to you?" Hidan shook his head and said "There are more things out there than just an Urahto, but you're not ready to know it yet." Then he let out a small laugh "And I thought I was safe here in this world. Never thought that I'll see the likes of them here"

"See what?" Hidan looked at her in the eyes and said "I'll tell you when you're ready, for now you'll have to wait" then he winced when Thanerah accidently brushed against a sensitive wound, Hidan glared at her but she laughed nervously "W-Whoops" Hidan just groaned and just relaxed as Thanerah continued to clean off the blood. "So...these wounds won't heal themselves as they should?" Hidan shook his head.

Then Thanerah stopped once she was done cleaning him, she stood up from the bed and went back to the bathroom, she threw the dirty wet towel on the washing basin to clean it later and went to the first aid kit that was never used since Hidan joined until now, Thanerah opened it and took out a roll of new bandages.

Thanerah returned to Hidan with the roll of bandages in her hand and she saw Hidan half asleep so she called out to him "Hey Hidan! Don't fall asleep yet!" Hidan snapped his eyes open with full alert but when he saw that it was just Thanerah his face dropped. "Thanerah...come on let me sleep!" Thanerah shook her head then ordered him "Sit up" "Don't tell me what to d-!" "Sit. Up!" demanded Thanerah again. Hidan groaned deeply and obeyed her, but he didn't feel happy about it since he's usually the one ordering her, not the other way around.

Thanerah went to Hidan's side and started to wrap the bandages around Hidan's torso. "What are you going to say to the others when they see you like this?" asked Thanerah "I'll just tell them to fuck off" "That won't be persuasive enough if Pein wants you to go on a mission" "Then I'll just have to cover myself with my cloak until my wounds are healed" "Which will be in a few weeks"

Hidan groaned deeply and just watched as Thanerah continues to wrap the bandages around his masculine and a bit bloody torso. Hidan's cheek started to turn pink then he asked Thanerah "Um...how long were you awake, Thanerah?" Thanerah nearly stopped but continued and answer with a lie "I woke up when you dropped yourself on the bed" Thanerah caught him sighing softly in relief.

Thanerah tied the bandages tightly "There, now you can go to sleep" then she turned to go to her bed-couch but suddenly strong arms were wrapped tightly around her waist and it brought her back on the bed. "Wha-!" she yelped but it was cut-off by Hidan who buried his face in her soft black hair "Stay"

Thanerah couldn't believe her ears with her heart racing rapidly in her chest. Thanerah hesitated for a moment and Hidan didn't seem to loosen his grip around her until she replied "All right" Hidan's arm loosened a bit and Thanerah made her-self comfortable and reached her hand out to turn the lamp off.

She rested her head on the second pillow while Hidan just buried his face in her hair, inhaling her sweet scent softly, with her back against his chest, surprisingly her body fit perfectly with his like a jig-saw puzzle. No words were needed for the night; only silent touch was good enough.
