Thanerah read the books for an hour and a half. She was already finished with the Bio one so she's reading the 'Spirit of Life' book. To be honest she was intrigued by it. Soon she was interrupted by a voice

"How are you so far?"

She stopped reading to turn her head and saw that it was Doctor Raze. She grinned at him and said, "I'm doing well so far."

Doctor Raze smiled softly then glanced down at the book, "I'm glad you enjoy my book"

Thanerah's smile dropped as she stared at the doctor in shock, "Y-You wrote this?" He nodded with a grin

"Look at the back" he said

Thanerah didn't hesitate to do so and she immediately saw his name on it. "Richard Raze..." she mumbled before looking back at the doctor. "Do you really believe that everything has a spirit?"

"If we don't have any spirits than we can only be walking hollows on earth"

"True..." she looked back at the book as she was on the last page.

Soon the large metal doors were open and she heard "Thanerah," she turned her head to look at her coming husband

"Hi Hidan"

He only murmured to her and got to her side. Then he asked the doctor, "How's she doing, doc?"

"She's doing fine, Hidan. I have no doubt that she'll make a great help for us"

"Well, that's fucking good to hear"

"Someone should wash that mouth of yours"

"Tried it, didn't work" said Thanerah as she continued to read the last page of the book.

The doctor arched a brow and looked at Hidan, he sighed softly and explained the story "She shove a lot of tic-tacs in my mouth while I was fucking asleep"

"Unfortunately the plan did not go well as I hoped" said Thanerah just as she finished the book. She closed it then turned her seat around to face the two men. "Why are you here, Hidan?"

"To pick you up"

"Thank you very much but I know my way around here now"

"But we need to leave now; I already reserve a table for us"

Thanerah arched a brow, "What for?"

"For dinner, to celebrate your fucking birthday"

Thanerah stared at Hidan shockingly because she never thought he care about her birthday. "H-How did you..."

He grinned at her, "I looked through some fucking documents from the blood sample you gave with the doc's help" he pointed at Doctor Raze. Thanerah smiled as she felt small tears threatening to come out but she held them back. Hidan offered a hand to her, "Now come on. We're going to be fucking late"

Thanerah didn't hesitate to accept his hand and he guided her out of the laboratory, leaving Doctor Raze with a small smirk.

Hidan and Thanerah walked down the hallway then she asked him, "Are you sure there are a few Jashinists around? Because I barely see any"

Hidan glanced at Thanerah then said, "You'll see some when we get into the restaurant." Soon they walked through metal doors into a dark room.

Fortunately the light in the room was just very dim with red curtains hanging from the ceiling, there were tables with dark red table clothes and each has a candle light in the middle with beautiful crystallize flowers. Thanerah could see that there were a few couples having dinner with each other but there wasn't many as she thought.

"Wow, what a crowd..." she said in sarcasm.

Hidan smirked softly before the waiter appeared in front of them, "How may I help you?" he asked. Hidan just hold up two fingers and the waiter immediately brought them to a two seated table.

"You know, there's no point of booking a table when they're not going to be many people" said Thanerah as the menu was passed to her by the waiter.

Hidan suddenly smirked widely, "I know, I need to fucking tell you something to get your fucking ass here" he received the menu from the waiter who didn't seem shock from Hidan's swearing.

Thanerah's jaw dropped at Hidan before glaring at him, "That was such an ass trick..." she growled but Hidan just chuckled to himself with a proud grin.

"Well, at least you're fucking here with me"

"I'm not fucking you here; I'm eating here with you"

"Whatever you say"

Thanerah just sighed heavily as she shook her head, 'men' she opened the menu and scanned her eyes on the neatly well titles.

Thanerah was tapping her finger on the table while Hidan was taking a shot of his sake with his cheeks slightly pink from the alcohol.

"You know, as your wife, I should stop you from drinking"

"Kiss my ass"

Thanerah huffed away from Hidan, 'This is so romantic' thought Thanerah sarcastically.

Soon the waiter returned with a big plate of pasta with meatballs. "Here you go" he said as he placed it in the middle with two forks. Then he walked away.

"Finally, food!" beamed Thanerah quietly as she grasped her fork and quickly took some pasta in her mouth. Hidan chuckled a bit before taking some pasta for himself.

They were half way finishing the pasta while being distracted by something, they haven't noticed that they were eating the same pasta noodle and they're face became closer and closer until their lips met.

Thanerah pulled away quickly with her cheeks turning pink as she covered her smile with her hands. Hidan just grinned widely at her; he pierced a meatball with his fork and held it out to Thanerah.

She smiled softly before pulling her hands away from her mouth to let Hidan to feed her. She chewed it with delight and Hidan just grinned widely at her. 'Hmm, this dinner is not so bad after all'

Afterward they were having some mint sundae ice cream. Then Thanerah asked him, "Do you think they're any civilians left?"

Hidan stopped midway of his ice cream but soon put it in his mouth. "There are a few of our own but their hiding in the shadows," he glanced outside the window the dead city "just like we are"

Thanerah looked at the empty streets and the gloomy city before she asked Hidan, "They're hiding in their homes?"

"No, the civilians left the city, that's what I heard from Bansu"

"What were you doing? What was the Council's plan?"

Hidan glanced at the area but there was no use of it since the other couples were deeply in their own conversations. Hidan said to Thanerah, "They sent the GRIMs to do the research in close cities to get information of the enemy. As of me, I'm helping Kobra of training the survivors who have to become Phantoms as soon as possible"

"What level are you?"

"I'm a fucking Phantom, Thanerah" answered Hidan with a bit annoyance in his voice.

Thanerah giggled softly then Hidan asked, "What about you? How was your fucking day with doc?"

Thanerah sighed softly, "Well, all I've done so far are reading"

Hidan let out a small laugh, "That got to suck like hell"

Thanerah giggled once more before taking another bite of the sundae, "It's not so bad"

Hidan just tapped his spoon on the table then brought the bowl of sundae slightly closer to him, "Don't eat the whole fucking split without giving me some"

Thanerah just giggled once more and scooped up the whip cream.
