Author's Note:
Sorry, this was supposed to be chapter 21, and the other chapter name 'Coming' was supposed to be 22, my bad!
A few days later, Hidan and Thanerah was mostly teased as a married couple, even though they are but they are still cooperating with it. Thanerah was sitting in the table while drinking some tea with Itachi who was also reading a small light blue book in his hand.
Thanerah sipped her tea in silent but then she glanced at the Uchiha member of the Akatsuki, *Should I tell him about Sasuke? Or does he know already?*. Itachi stopped drinking his tea and he said to Thanerah without leaving his eyes from his book, "If you're thinking of telling me that Sasuke is with Orochimaru, then yes I already know that"
Thanerah's eyes widened in surprised but at the same moment it annoyed her, *Am I THAT predictable?* she screamed mentally. Hidan and Kakuzu were on a mission of getting Kakuzu's bounty but Thanerah didn't want to go this time since she'll just get in the way and slow them down.
"How long did you know?" Thanerah asked Itachi about his little brother. Itachi glanced at Thanerah, and put his book down on the table before he answered flatly, "I've known ever since he joined Orochimaru three years ago. I think my brother is being foolish for joining him to defeat me"
Thanerah anime sweat drop at the back of her head, *This guy...is completely emo, isn't he?* thought Thanerah. Suddenly Thanerah heard hard hitting against the windows so she looked to see that it's raining heavily. Itachi sighed heavily when he glanced at the window before looking back to his book.
Thanerah and Itachi suddenly heard the front door being opened so they looked to see Hidan and Kakuzu. "Damn it, Pein! Why does it have to fucking rain now?" grumbled Hidan under his breath as he took his cloak of and twisted it to get the water out. Thanerah couldn't stop staring at Hidan's chest with her fingers twitching to touch, *Damn...*.
Kakuzu walked away while leaving a trail of water without care, unlike Hidan. Hidan flapped his Akatsuki cloak until he thought it was dry and he hooked it with his arm. Hidan felt someone staring at him so he looked to see that it was Thanerah, drooling a bit while looking at his strong masculine torso. He grinned widely and teased her by asking, "Like what'cha see?" Thanerah blushed furiously and snapped out of her thoughts then looked away from Hidan.
Suddenly she heard a loud sneeze from Hidan, she turned her head to look at him and asked, "Are you sick?" Hidan arched a brow at her and asked "I've never gone fucking sick before for a fucking long time, Thane-cough! Cough!" he was cut off by coughing harshly, he stopped and groaned deeply "O-Okay, maybe I am sick a bit..."
Thanerah quickly stood up from her seat to walk to Hidan. When she got to his side she felt his forehead with the back of her hand, "Holy shit! You're hot!" Hidan smirked widely and said, "I am fucking hot". Thanerah slightly glared at Hidan and said, "I'm serious, Hidan. You're really burning up. You're definitely sick"
Hidan let out a large laugh which made Thanerah to arch a brow at him, "Sick? Sick? Jashinist are protected by diseases, honey!" Thanerah blushed deeply when he called her 'honey' and she said, "True but the Jashin book says only deadly diseases like a plague or something hence you can get regular diseases like a damn cold!"
"Thanerah, I'm fucking fi-Achoo!" he was cut off by a loud sneeze and Thanerah dodged it in time since she doesn't want to get sick as well. Thanerah narrowed her eyes at him and said "You're sick, Hidan. So let's get you to bed" she grabbed Hidan's wrist and dragged him towards the bedroom. "Stop pulling me, Than-Achoo!" but Hidan was cut off by another loud sneeze.
"You better not get me sick!"
"Well too bad!"
Thanerah was sitting on the edge of Hidan's bed while he was lying under the covers of it. Sometimes he would be ok but he would either be coughing harshly or sneezing a lot. Thanerah was waiting for the thermometer that is placed in Hidan's mouth for two minutes. Afterwards she pulled the thermometer from Hidan's mouth, "Shit, you're 107.6 degrees, Hidan. This is really serious" said Thanerah as she looked at Hidan.
He only scoffed at her while looking away, "So what? It doesn't mean I can die from it" Thanerah cupped his face with her hand and she moved his face so he can look at her, "But you can still suffer a lot from it" said Thanerah.
Hidan groaned deeply but did not say a word. Thanerah stood up from the bed, "I'll make you some soup to ease the flu." Said Thanerah and she left the room. Hidan sighed heavily once she left and thought, *I feel like a fucking child all over again...*
Thanerah was in the kitchen while making some chicken soup for Hidan. Until she heard a voice entering the kitchen "It's not lunch time yet, Thanerah" Thanerah turned her head to see Konan, she smiled at the second female member of the Akatsuki "Hello Konan" She only nodded to her in acknowledgement and walked to the fridge. She asked Thanerah "What are you making?"
"I'm making some soup for Hidan's flu" answered Thanerah as she added some salt in the soup after having a test taste. Konan arched a brow at Thanerah and asked "Hidan's sick?" Thanerah nodded and she could tell that Konan was quite surprised. "I thought Hidan was immune to all sickness" said Konan as she took out some apple juice from the fridge.
Thanerah agreed with her silently with a nod, "You're not the only one..." she mumbled.
Thanerah entered Hidan's bedroom as she heard him coughing harshly in bed. "Wha-What the fuck is that? Cough! Cough!" asked Hidan before coughing harshly. Thanerah answered as she sat on the edge of the bed next to his lying body "Some chicken soup. It will ease your throat"
Hidan only continued to cough harshly with his nose slightly red and his eyes looked completely exhausted. "Whatever and just give me the fucking soup already" he grumbled. Thanerah sighed heavily and passed the soup to him, "It's hot" she warned him but Hidan just pass the spoon to her and drank the whole thing without any pause until it was completely finished.
*That was fast* thought Thanerah before the empty bowl was passed to her. Hidan sighed heavily as he shifted under the covers and rested his head on the pillow as he closed his eyes. "Argh, I hate being sick..." he grumbled under his breath.
Thanerah sighed heavily and silently left the room so Hidan could rest in ease.
After two days Hidan has recovered back to his health. "Argh, freedom!" said Hidan with a small yawn as he stretched his arms in the air while he was sitting up on the bed. Thanerah was just lying on the other side of the bed while being half asleep herself. She only murmured to Hidan and continued to sleep since it's too early to wake up.
Hidan glanced at Thanerah and asked "Hey, when are you going to make some breakfast?" Thanerah groaned softly at him at the back of her throat and murmured to him "Make it your own, Hidan. I'm still tired...zzzz" Hidan groaned deeply but thought *Well, she did took care of me while I was fucking sick. I should at least give her a day off to rest*
Hidan quietly got out of bed, did his morning routines and walked out of the bedroom to the kitchen to make some breakfast for himself.
Later that day Thanerah had to go shopping because they ran out of groceries. Thanerah was walking around the shops with Hidan with a basket hung on her hooked arm. "Thanerah, are we done yet? My feet are fucking killing me! And I fucking hate shopping!" whined Hidan once more after an hour of buying a few food from here and there.
Thanerah glared at Hidan as she passed the money to the fish owner after she put the wrapped up fish in the basket, "Shut up, Hidan. You said you wanted to come in the first place" said Thanerah. Hidan glared at her from the corner of his eyes, "Because I was fucking bored! I thought you might be eating at a cafe bar or something!" Thanerah sighed heavily once more, "You're nearly impossible..." she grumbled.
"Too bad, Thanerah" replied Hidan with a small growl. Before Thanerah could say a word to Hidan, they suddenly heard a loud squeal not too far away, "Oh my God! Thanerah, is that you?" Soon Thanerah was hugged tightly by a woman that is slightly younger than her with curly dirty blonde hair and blue eyes.
"K-Kimiko?" mumbled Thanerah in a slight disbelief. Kimiko pulled away from the hug with a grin but small tears were escaping from her eyes, "Everyone thinks that you're dead! Where have you been? What happened to you? Why didn't you come back to the book shop?" she asked these questions.
"I-I...um..." Thanerah had no idea where to start nor how to explain what happened ever since she met Hidan. Hidan arched a brow at the mysterious girl who continued to ask Thanerah many questions while still hugging her. *Who the fuck is this bitch?* asked Hidan mentally.
Kimiko noticed Hidan standing beside her and she immediately had anime heart-shape eyes "Whoa! And who is this?" she asked with a flirty smile. Hidan only scowled at her before Thanerah answered her old friend "K-Kimiko, this is-!" Kimiko suddenly got to Hidan's side while her arms were wrapping around his with her cheeks turning red.
"What's your name cutie?" she asked Hidan flirtingly. Hidan glared at her and also looked completely annoyed. Thanerah immediately felt annoyed as well so she said to Kimiko "Kimiko, he's my husband" Kimiko immediately flinched and glanced between Hidan and Thanerah. Kimiko immediately pulled away from Hidan while laughing nervously at Thanerah, "Wh-Whoops, my bad."
Soon her face was replaced by confusion, "Wait? Since when were you married?" Thanerah had no idea how to explain to Kimiko "Well, it's kind of complicated" answered Thanerah. Suddenly she felt an arm wrapped around her shoulders and she was brought against a hard body, "Who the fuck are you?" asked Hidan with such aggressive in his voice.
Kimiko immediately introduced herself to Hidan, "My name is Kimiko Yashirah. Thanerah and I are friends in a small village." Then she asked Hidan "How long have you and Thanerah have been married?" Thanerah was going to answer but Hidan cut her off quickly, "It's none of your fucking business, bitch!"
Kimiko stared at Hidan shockingly but Thanerah quickly explained to her, "Don't worry, he's always like that". "I bet not to you" said Kimiko with narrowed eyes at Hidan, obviously stopped her interest in him which made Thanerah to feel relief in her heart. "Not all the time" said Thanerah with a small shrug.
Thanerah asked Kimiko, "What are you doing in the Hidden Rain Village, Kimiko? I mean, it's awfully far away from home" Kimiko just grinned widely at her, "I'm just coming here to just look around." Then her smile fade away, "Thanerah, there's a problem with your book shop"
Thanerah had completely forgotten about it, "Wh-What happened to it? Did they close it?" Kimiko nodded, "They had to since you've been reported missing and soon you were presumed dead so they closed the bookshop"
"But what about my personal things?" asked Thanerah with panic. Kimiko sadly shook her head, "I'm sorry, Thanerah, but all of your things are already sold" Thanerah asked her, "You sold them?" Kimiko immediately shook her head, "No, I didn't! The new owners sold them! They replaced your shop to be a porno flick"
Thanerah felt slightly disgusted by the news but said to Kimiko, "Thanks for the information" Kimiko replied with a smile, "No problem" soon she asked "Should I tell everyone that you're still alive?" Thanerah hesitated for a moment and she glanced at Hidan to see him slightly shaking his head no. "I-I think it would be better if I'm presumed dead"
Kimiko arched a brow at her, "Why?" Thanerah was going to answer but was cut off by Hidan, "It's personal, all right? Now leave the fuck us alone before I sacrifice you!" He threatened her. Kimiko's eyes widened in alert and Thanerah was glaring at Hidan from the corner of her eyes.
"I-I should go. Bye!" soon Kimiko was running down the streets away from Thanerah and Hidan. Once she was gone Hidan grumbled, "What an annoying bitch..." Thanerah glared at Hidan, "You didn't need to be so cold to her, Hidan" Hidan glanced at her, "But she was so fucking annoying! How can you stand someone like that?" he asked. Thanerah shrugged her shoulders, "I just do" Hidan anime sweat drop, "That's not really a good answer, you know?"
Thanerah noticed that Hidan's arm is still wrapped around her shoulders but she didn't say a word because it felt...nice. Hidan broke the small silence by asking, "What's fucking next?" She smiled softly before she answered, "Some pork-ribs for you" Hidan grinned widely and said as he was already walking towards the direction of the butcher shop, "Now that is something worth buying for!"
