new chapter new stuff to explor. im honestly really happy with my idea of turning hidan into a Grimm, it gives me the posibility to write about the world from the prospective of a Grimm and it ensures drama if he regroups with the other characters.
Enjoy

A sharp pain creeped across Sienna as she jumped up from a restless dream. She clutched her stomach were she remembered she was stabbed by the traitor but she also remembered that she died. She looked down and moved her hand to see that she not only was alive but that the fatal wound was now nothing more then a scar.
She looked around the room and realized that she wasn't in a room at all, it was more like a cave with some candles illuminating the surroundings. She was laying on the ground with some makeshift leaves and twigs as a bed. "Finally awake?"
As she herd the voice she tried to get up but the pain prevented her from moving. She felt a hand on her shoulder and as she looked she saw Kisame there with a little smile. "Your wound isn't completely healed but it seems you are almost ready to move freely again."
"You, you are kisame. The lapdog of that traitor Adam. I saw you there." She shot him a glare.
The shark smirked and got up. "Yes, but the traitor of a traitor it seems. I mean why els would I save you?"
The former high leader looked at her wound and then back at kisame. "You did that? But how?"
"I'm just saving you and betraying Adam there is no need to tell you all my secrets." Kisame said with a smirk.
Sienna look at the ground before she simply laid back down on the makeshift bed. "You shouldn't have saved me. I failed as a high leader."
Kisames smirk disappeared. "Seriously? You are giving up?"
Sienna didn't look at him. "Ghira was right all along. I will bring destruction to the white fang."
"That is not true. You thought that a minor form of violence could help your cause but it didn't. It was a mistake that you didn't aim for intentionally." Kisame simply answered.
"The only thing I did was giving Adam a platform he could use to overthrow the white fang. We are the same just that he doesn't hesitate." Sienna looked up to the ceiling.
The shark sat down next to her. "You fought for equality. Adam is fighting for domination."
"Wrong again. I'm not fighting anymore." She said while continuing to look at the ceiling. She then felt something being placed on her stomach. As she looked she saw a white fang mask and her trusted chain weapon. She looked at kisame who smirked.
"Then don't fight as sienna or high leader. They died and gave place to a new warrior to fight."
Sienna touched the cold steel of her chain weapon. She looked at kisame. "What am I supposed to do?"
"Adam is moving to invade haven while he send out white fang members to kill the belladonna familie. Go to Haven and kill Adam or go to the former white fang leader and save him from assassination. Destroy the current white fang or save the original idea of the white fang. The choice is yours." With those words kisame stood up and moved out of the cave. Leaving Sienna alone to decide.
As he exited he saw non other then his lieutenant Triffa waiting for him at the exit. The spider Fanus didn't say a word. She just waited.
Kisame stayed quietfor a while. "You Listen didn't you?"
Trifa only nodded.
"Listen Trifa i-"
"Im scared."
"What?" Kisame was surprised to hear that but as the spider Fanus looked him in the eyes with tears in her eyes he could feel her sorrow.
"I'm going to assassinate Ghira belladonna, his wife and maybe even there daughter. Innocent people who might be to powerful to be Killed by me. What if they attack back? What if I'm going to die? And then you give Sienna the opportunity to aid Ghira? If she decides to aid them I will die. Dose that mean nothing to you?!" Trifa was screaming while holding back tears.
Kisame could only feel pain as he looked into the girls eyes. He basically forced her into a impossible situation, she has to attack Ghira or Adam will have her head but at the same time Sienna might aid them which means that the assassination attempt will surly fail. "I'm sorry."
Trifa wanted to scream more but she just couldn't. She saw that he was truly sorry. "I understand captain. You fight for your ambitions and the world you wish to create, but why do you have to be like Adam and justify your means with your goal?"
"I'm not..." He was. He was just like Adam, using people to further gain in his cause. There was no excuse for him he was a simple traitor not only to Adam but also to Trifa who trusted him.
Kisame felt how she grabbed his hand, as he looked up he saw her smiling at him with a little tear rolling down her cheek. She saluted him. "It has been a honor to have served under you kisame. I have learned a lot and now I will fight for a world without lies."
The spider Fanus turned on her heel and stared walking away. Quickly a hand grabbed her and spun her around. Kisame embraced the spider Fanus. "Please don't die ok?"
Trifa smile and hugged him back. "I'll take that as a order."
They stayed like this for a moment before kisame stepped away and gave her something. "I don't know how much it will help but I hope it dose."
Trifa took the dagger like weapon from kisame. It appeared to be a larger dagger with a beautiful and sharp silver blade. The black grip felt good in her hand and at the hilt was a small red engraving of a red scorpion. "What is this?"
"A weapon that will hopefully help you. I don't know how it works but I know it's dangerous since it was built by a genius. He gave to to me during the fall of beacon academy and I was supposed to hold on to it, so please don't lose it." Kisame said with a smirk.
Trifa smiled happily. "I won't and I will happily give it back to you one day."

Deep in the forest the immortal turned half grimm wearing a full body human outfit was hiding behind some bushes, a good vantage point on the place he saw in that vision. Next to him was that ghost like grim who was watching him more then the ambush place.
"I still don't understand why we are here. The grunts will take care of that." The Grimm spoke while continuing to look at Hidan.
"I'm trying to understand what is so important about this target. Why am I here? Why can I understand you?" Hidan said while slightly annoyed. He watched as a few more commoner grim start to gather and hide.
The ghost started to float in front of him. "Ok, I'm not sure how you don't know these things but I would be happy to explain."
Hidan shifted a bit and thought that this might be a good chance to understand the Grimm. "Ok, can you tell me how I'm able to understand you but can't understand these down there?"
The ghost looked at the common Grimm. "Those Grimm are fresh born and have not reached maturity yet. It takes time for a grim to get stronger and learn to speak. Right now the only thing that they can do is follow orders and kill."
The immortal nodded and thought about it as a strange ranking system. Survival of the fittest. "Why are Grimm in this world and why attack humans?"
"Our god has given us the world but everything we want is to be close to the Darkspawn, the birthplace of all Grimm. Humans however have the same darkness in there hearts which they use to lure us and then kill us." The ghost said with hatred in its voice.
"So this darkness that the humans have? You want it?" Hidan asked confused.
"It is part of our god and belongs to the Grimm, not them! We don't take there light so we have the right to take what is ours!" The ghost seemed actually quite agitated by this topic.
"Tell me about this mistress of yours." Hidan asked in hopes to change the topic.
However the ghost seemed to scoff even more. "You mean that husk that is filled with darkness?"
Hidan was confused. "I thought you obeyed her."
The Grimm was silent for a moment. "Yes. Every Grimm knows that we were born and given purpose by our god, so it comes to us all natural that we serve the thing that is closest to our god. The dark mistress has so much darkness in her that she is also known to us as the dark prophet."
Hidan nodded. "So it's faith that is driving the Grimm. Interesting."
The ghost looked at Hidan. "Faith?"
Hidan looked at the ghost Grimm. "Don't you know? The humans probably believe in something els. Something els then light or dark."
"I don't understand." The Grimm spoke.
This gave Hidan a idea. If he could spread doubts or even give the Grimm a alternative he might actually cause a riot in the Grimm ranks. "Tell me, why do you despise the dark mistress? She is your prophet, right?"
"Yes, but she is working with humans to gather lights. Magic and relics of the light god while building her castle over our holy Darkspwan. Many of the older Grimm and even the younger Grimm are displeased but would never go against the dark prophet." The ghost grumbled.
"Last question. What is this Darkspawn?"
The ghosted seemed to have a smile underneath its mask. Whatever he was thinking about it was pleasing him. "The Darkspawn is a most wonderful sight, the waters were the dark is eternal and the dark god pulled us out. It's not something that we associate with the god it's simply...home."
Hidan was stoking his chin. It appeared that all this information could be used against this dark mistress. She probably believes that there is no Grimm that disobeys her which would be perfect if someone decided to start a revolution.
Hidan wanted to ask more questions but he head something. As he looked through the bush he saw a woman walking to the ambush point. She was wearing a simple leather gear and a spear. Her orange hair was tied to a ponytail and it appeared like she was following a map on her scroll. "Hello? I'm from Mistal academy!"
She called out like she was send here to meet somebody. Did this dark mistress plan for her death by sending them alone on a false mission? The ghost Grimm next to him shook his head. "Making stupid noises again. Stupid humans."
"Wait, you can't understand her?" Hidan asked confused.
The ghost's eyes widened. "Wait. You can?"
"Is someone there?" She called out.
That was the moment the common grim jumped out of there hiding places. The huntress quickly jumped out of the way but the ambush definitely caught her off guard. One of the wolf like grim tried to jump on top of her but was quickly skewered by her Speer.
The Grimm didn't completely dissolve yet as the next Grimm attacked. This meant that she was not ready to retrieve her Speer and was viciously clawed the her side. The leather armor didn't help as she was starting to bleed and clutching her wound. She backed away and barely held her weapon up as the Grimm started to circle around her. "Well, she is dead."
"Not if I have anything to say about it!" Hidan jumped out of his hiding place and jumped on the back of one of the Grimm. With a large stone in hand he cracked open the Grimms skull and jumped away to the humans side who only saw another human thanks to his disguise.
The Grimm growled as a large bear like Grimm started to approach while the other beasts backed away. "Small human kill! Big Grimm kill small human!"
The huntress was slightly staggering. "I don't know who you are but we have to get out of here."
"Got a plan?" Hidan whispered back.
She seemed to hesitated for a moment. She looked down at her wound and then at the Grimm. "We can't run and the two of us won't be able to win. You have to get out of here and tell the authorities that we have a traitor."
Hidan turned to her. "And what about you?"
"Just tell me daughter and husband that I love them." She said with a weak smile.
"Yeah, fuck that." Hidan walked a few steps to the Grimm.
"Hey! You big fucking basterd! How about you fight me!" He yelled as he jumped on the spot a bit in hopes to warm up. He really wishes he had his scythe right about now.
The Grimm seemed confused. "You Grimm? Why fight? Why help humans? Why against plan of dark mistress?"
"Common you Little shits! In the name of lord Jashin I will destroy you!" He screams as he was just about ready to fight.
The bear like grim simply pounced on Hidan and applied with both of its massive paws pressure on Hidan's chest. The sound of snapping bones was audible. The Grimm moved its face closer to Hidan. "Why do that?"
"Because I decided to do so!" The immortal reached up to the Grimm and pushed both of his thumbs into its eyes.
The Grimm howled loudly as the huntress moved closer and used all her remaining strength to shove her Speer into the Grimm.
The beast stopped screaming and simply stared to dissolve. Hidan slowly stood up and looked at the scared Grimm. "Who is next?"
The common Grimm started to flee while Hidan chuckled to himself. His chuckle stopped when the huntress slapped him on the back of his head. "Are you insane? You could've died!"
"What? No way it worked out and look, I'm ...fine?" Hidan touched his chest as he figured out that his chest was completely fine. He knew however that his bones were crushed, he felt his ribs piercing his lungs but now everything is fine?
"Whatever, we should get out of here." The huntress urged as she stared to limp away.
Hidan started to follow her as he was done feeling his chest but suddenly he felt something move underneath his clothes. He looked down his collar and spotted the glowing eye of the ghost Grimm. "What are you doing?"
"Isn't it obvious? You just went against the wishes of our dark mistress! I want to know more and you can show me! Show me everything I want to learn and understand until I too can disobey the dark mistress!" The ghost spoke frantically.
"Hey! Are you coming?" The huntress called.
Hidan quickly moved to her side. "I don't think I got your name. My name is Hidan."
He heard the voice of the ghost speak underneath his clothes but it appeared that the huntress didn't hear even though they were so close to one another. "A name? What is a name? Oh I'm learning so many things. By the way what is that fu king you always talk about?"
Hidan ignored the Grimm as he listened to the huntress. "My name is Heather. Heather Shield."

nervously Ghira walked up and down his house while reading the speech he just prepared. Just outside his home were reporters and most of the city's people awaiting the speech of there chief.
His wife and daughter where just as nervous as him while the monkey Fanus was leaning against the wall. Sun touched his chest as he still clearly remembered the wound that almost killed him.
Itachi was the only human in the room and he too was thinking of the possibility's that this speech could cause in the citizens. He wasn't there when Sun and Blake were attacked by the white fang member but he decided that he would help them in any way possible if he could. The Fanus Familie except and wanted him to stand with Blake and Sun as he's holding the speech to symbolize a unity between humans and Fanus.
Ghira took a deep breath. "Alright, I'm ready."
Kali simply held his hand. "Don't worry, I'm always by your side."
His daughter hugged him from the side. "We believe in you."
He then felt a hand on his shoulder. Ghira turned around to see Sun with his big smile. "You got this."
Itachi only groaned as he saw a beautiful scene ruined by Sun. The monkey Fanus is really not getting on the Chiefs good side.
After the moment was ruined the four of them opened the large wood door. Immediately the talk outside stopped and the people all turned towards them. The people listen and the journalists had pen in paper in hand to write along.
Ghira took the the podium as the rest stood by his right side with Itachi between Sun and Blake. He saw people looking at his direction as some of them whispered. He heard some positive things and of course some negative things.
Ghira started his speech which Itachi heard already various times while the chief rehearsed it over and over again. It was a neutral speech with him not blaming people but to warn his people of Adam and his plans to not only overthrow the white fang leader Sienna but also attack haven academy, evidence all found on the scroll of one of the assailants.
Itachi listend with only with little attention, he was more focused on the crowd before him. He studied the reactions and the possibility's of white fang members who might disrupt the speech. Luckily he didn't see anything to suspicious, then again the crowd was quite dense.
As Ghira got to the point where he applied to them that they should all go to haven and aid the humans against the white fang the mood suddenly took a turn. The people were cheering for him a moment ago but now they all looked worried. Maybe it was the fear of a fight or the displeasing idea to help humans without a second thought but whatever it was it was bad.
The chief then turned to Blake. "My daughter, who was not only at the fall of Beacon academy but also a former member of the white fang wishes to share her experience with you all."
Just as Blake was standing behind the podium a voice called from the crowd. "Traitor!"
The crowd moved away to give the one who called space. It was a white fang members in her gear and Grimm mask. Sun clenched his fist and whispered. "Ilia."
Itachi nodded as he now know who this girl was they were talking about. This certainly would be a tough situation but Itachi was already coming up with a plan. Sun was about to try to sneak away to surprise the white fang member but the Akatsuki member stopped him. "I'll take care of this."
The crowd was watching ilia as she screamed at the top of her lungs. "He asked us to help the humans!? Were was our help when the humans worked us as slaves in the dust mines?! Were was our help when the humans hunted us for sport?! Where was my help when I lost both my parents to humans!?"
"Please, Chang takes time. It's a delicate matter that-." Ghira was interrupted as Itachi walked in front of him and was now at the sender of the stage.
"Look at that! The belladonna's act all high and mighty but you all see that there is a human in there middle!" She screamed as the people all looked at Itachi who remains silent.
It was completely silent as Itachi stood there doing nothing. He slowly started to move his head in both directions and looked everyone in the eyes. They remained silent and moved out of the way as he got of the stage and slowly walked to Ilia.
"Nothing to say human!?" She screamed as every eye was glued on it Itachi.
He stoop a few steps away from her and started to undo his cloak. It dropped to the floor and revealed a simple shirt with several belts of knifes strapped around him. Ilia grabbed her weapon but Itachi continues to take of the several belts and finally his shirt.
Since everyone was trapped in his illusion the moment they all looked into his eyes they saw a scared and badly wounded Itachi. Slashes, stab wounds, burns and even a back that was barely visible from markings left by brutal whipping many years ago. The people gasped and whispered but Itachi remains completely calm.
He took a step before slowly going down to his knees while still looking at Ilia in silence. Then he bend forward and placed both of his hands on the ground and finally his forehead in the dirt. "I'm begging you."
Shock and whispered hushed through the entire audience. Even the belladonna's seemed shocked at this sight as they too were trapped in his illusion. The white fang member stutters. "W-What did you say?"
"I do not know what happened to your family, nore do I claim to know of your pain or grief. however I too have family that I need to protect, my little brother is all that I have left so i will do whatever it takes for him to be safe. If this is what you want then there you have it, I'm on the ground and beginning you to help me." Itachi said while pretending to be on the verge of tears.
Everyone who saw Itachi for the first time saw him as a cold and cool human who could do whatever he set his mind on but now they all see him like this, broken and on the verge of crying begging and pleading that they all save his brother the only thing he has left. It broke everyone's heart.
Ilia retreated as she realized that no matter what she would say now she would not look like the good guy here. As she ran away the guards immediately ran after her, everything els however remained silent as Itachi was still on the ground.
It was first after someone took his cloak and covered his body with it that he slowly got of the ground. He didn't take his eyes from the ground as he slowly returned back into the mansion of the belladonna's.
Shortly afterwards the family and Sun followed as the speech seemed over. Kali immediately embraced Itachi while holding back tears. "I'm so sorry, non of us new that you had such a troubled past."
"Yeah man, you didn't have to do all that." Sun said worried.
"Really? Good I thought my crying was a little to much." Itachi simply answers.
As his wife let go of him and slowly backed away Ghira looked at Itachi with suspicion. "What do you mean to much?"
Itachi didn't answer as he simply dropped the cloak and revealed that the only scares he had were minor ones from training or more intense battles.
Blake couldn't believe her eyes. "But...you were."
"Did you already forgot about my abilities? Everyone who looked into my eyes is trapped in a illusion." He said while pointing at his glowing red eyes.
Sun was absolutely shocked. "Wha-you lied to all those people!?"
Itachi shook his head. "Of course I did, it was the best way to convince them to aid us."
Ghira seemed angry. "This is not how we are going to achieve peace. No matter how sweet a lie will remain a lie."
Itachi looked at Ghira with a little bit of Desinteresse. "I don't know if your daughter or Sun told you this but they saw me killing white fang members at the docks long ago. They weren't the first people I killed and they won't be my last, you should just appreciate that I'm on your side."
Kail seemed to slowly realize something. "Those that mean that since we looked into your eyes this all could be a illusion?"
The Uchiha simply nodded which caused Sun to freak out. "This is Insane! i mean he could make us see whatever he wants! He could not be handsome at all and actually very ugly, he could not even be human, he could be a white fang member ready to betray us."
Itachi has to chuckle. "Keeping several people in a illusion for days is extremely taxing on my body so I can assure you that what you see right now is real and I can assure you that I'm on your side. If I wanted to kill you I would have done so already."
The room became silent before Itachi spoke again. "Did one of you happen to get my clothes?"
