The family rode down the path for quite some time with the heavy rain hitting them like countless needles. Hidan looked over his shoulder to the Gate to see the werewolves still fighting the large beast.
However one grey wolf went out from the battle and chased after the family. It quickly went into the forest to go through a short cut and it managed to run by the family as it ran out from the forest.
The grey wolf barked at Tagor. Tagor nodded and said to the family "He's going to bring us to the clan! Follow him!" The family slightly slowed down to let the wolf run ahead so it would be easier for them to follow.
The wolf slowed down as it panted heavily. It led them to an ancient ruin and it went inside before it disappeared in the darkness. The family stopped and glanced at each other. Thanerah asked her brother "You've been here before, brother?"
He shook his head "No."
The family mounted off their Ukrahs and they were ordered to stay here. Hidan quickly grabbed hold of Thanerah's hand and whispered to her "You stay close to me at all times."
Thanerah sighed heavily "Hidan, you're being possessive again. I can handle myself. Thank you very much." He softly glared at her. "Okay, okay. Calm down, love." She placed a kiss on his lips.
Their children groaned deeply after they mounted off their Ukrahs. Tagor shouted at the couple "Hey! Don't forget about us already! You can kiss whenever you want once we're back home safe and sound! Right now is not the time, all right!?"
After Thanerah pulled away from the kiss, she and Hidan glared at Tagor.
"What? You've seen it coming," Tagor said and he does make a good point. Over the years he still kept complaining to them for showing their love in public. Thanerah thought when he would find his mate he would understand. But apparently he still is the same.
Hidan wrapped an arm around his wife's shoulders as he said to Tagor "Hey, how long have we been together, Tagor? We've been married for over 3o f**king years and you still f**king complain? Grow up, pup!"
Thanerah could see some steam shooting out from his ears from frustration and he glared at Hidan. "How many times do I have to f**king tell you NOT to call me that!?" shouted Tagor as his hands were turning in angry fists. The children were looking at the scene of their elders in amusement.
"Enough!" shouted Thanerah in anger and everyone turned their heads to her. "This is not getting us anywhere! Let's just finish what we came here for and go back home!"
Fenora raised her hand "I'm with mom!"
"So am I!" exclaimed Soran.
Claw just raised his hand in silent agreement.
Hidan and Tagor groaned deeply. But they left each other a glare that screamed "We'll finish this later!"
Suddenly they heard a voice from afar "Hey! What's taking you so long!?" They all turned their heads to see a man with dark grey hair while wearing black slightly shredded dirty clothes. He must be the wolf who guided them here. "Come on! Everyone's already here!"
The family glanced at each other before they quickly followed the werewolf man to the ruins.
"Wow…this is…not what I expected," muttered Soran as he saw a large group of men and woman deep within the ruins. There was a big bon fire in the middle with meats being cooked by slaughtered animals like boars and deer.
Claw started to drool at the sight of the cooked meat until he was hit at the back of his head by Hidan. "You can eat it later on. Right now we have other things we need to worry about."
Claw groaned and glared at his father while rubbing the back of his head. But he replied to him "Yes, sir."
Thanerah softly glared at Hidan for smacking their second son. She gave him a look "Did you have to do that?"
He arched a brow with an obvious look that replied "Yes."
The man who led them stopped and turned around to face the family with a proud grin. "Welcome to our camp! Please, make yourself at home! And may Zevrah watch over you for tonight." Then he walked away.
The family glanced at each other, not knowing what to do. Something caught Claw's attention which was a hand to hand combat while the audience was betting. He saw two werewolves fighting aggressively in their human forms and they were only wearing their pants and boots while the audience were cheering and shouting.
Claw nudged Soran softly to get his attention. When he did he pointed for Soran to look. Soran looked and his face beamed in excitement. Fenora however saw a group of male werewolves staring at her with confidence smirks and that made her blush.
Soran and Claw were going to sneak to watch the fight but the back of their collars were quickly grasped by their father. "And where the f**k do you think you two are going?" asked Hidan as he pulled his sons back while glaring between them.
Soran said "W-We just want to see the fight. That's all!"
Hidan narrowed his eyes at his eldest son suspiciously until he felt a comforting hand on his shoulder. He looked to see that it was his wife. "Let them have some fun, love. Let them enjoy themselves until tonight."
Hidan looked at her for a while until he sighed heavily in defeat. He released his sons and they gave their mother a grateful look. Hidan shoved a finger at them and sternly said "Don't you f**king f**k around, do you f**king understand me? No flirting, kissing, or anything with women or men of intimacy."
"Ew! Dad!" yelped his children as they stared at him in disgust when he mentioned about the men.
Hidan growled "I mean it, you three! Don't do anything reckless! Or else I will give you a good f**king beating you will never forget!" The three flinched and quickly nodded their heads.
Thanerah smiled at her children and said "Go. Have some fun, but hopefully not too much fun. And seriously don't do anything with intimacy. You know the Jashin rules."
The three nodded "Yes, mother," they said in unison before they head off to the battle.
But Hidan quickly grabbed Soran back and said to him "And make sure you keep an eye out for Fenora. Some bastards here are eyeing on her. So keep her safe. You're responsible now."
Soran smirked at his father "Of course, Dad! Have I ever disappointed you before?"
Hidan let out a small laugh "Tch, you don't want me to answer that. Now beat it before I change my mind." Soran just grinned widely and went back to the battle with his siblings.
Tagor crossed his arms on his chest and commented to Hidan "You're very strict to your children, you know that?"
Hidan softly glared at him from the corner of his eyes "They must respect the rules of Lord Jashin. I'm not going to let my children to be poor followers, especially not to their own grandparents."
"Do they still know about that?"
"No. Not yet," replied Hidan with a heavy sigh as he lazily wrapped an arm around Thanerah's shoulder. She leaned against him in response and rested her head on the side of his face.
Thanerah said to her husband "Love, you know that we have to tell them sooner or later? Father's dying to meet his grandchildren."
Hidan chuckled "I'm not surprised. Tell you what. We'll tell them after we're done with this f**king ceremony. What about that?"
"Hmmm, I guess it's all right…" she turned to her brother "What do you think?"
Tagor shrugged his shoulders and replied "It's up to you, sis. After all, you are their mother."
She sighed heavily then she decided to change the subject. She asked him "How's your wife and my little nephew?" He and his wife gave birth to a lovely son named Ray. The children loved their cousin to death, no joke.
Tagor grinned proudly and replied "He's doing great! He's starting to walk around now!"
She squealed in delight "Oh, congrats! I wonder when he will be starting to talk."
"I hope it's not soon! Ray walking around the apartment is troublesome enough for the time being! We have to baby proof the whole apartment!"
Hidan smirked at him "Welcome to parenthood."
Tagor narrowed his eyes at him "And how the hell do you do that!? Thanerah must have done most of the work."
Thanerah shook her head and wrapped her arms around Hidan's waist. "Hidan helped me entirely. And he was so sweet with the kids. I was surprised myself when he first taught Soran how to walk and swim. It was such a lovely moment! I think I have some pictures back at home."
Hidan softly glared down at his wife "Tha, we're NOT going to show it to him!"
She grinned up at him "Why not? You and little Soran looked so adorable! There was also the time when you brought the kids to ice skate when Fenora was just a little 4 year old on your shoulders!"
Tagor let out a scoff "What? Hidan? Him?" he pointed his thumb at him. "You got to be shitting me. I mean…I can't really imagine Hidan like that."
"He may kill people, but who doesn't? That doesn't mean we're completely heartless."
"Hmmm…you have a fair point." Then he smelled something in the air which caught Thanerah's nose as well. They both grinned and he asked her "You smelled that, too?"
"Yeah!" she exclaimed while Hidan looked so darn confused until he was dragged by his wife towards one of the cooking large meat at the bon fire.
Hidan watched the siblings in amusement as they devoured the meat like they haven't eaten in decades. He had never seen his wife look so hungry since she was pregnant with Fenora. It was really amusing to him and he regretted not bringing a camera with him.
He just ate a small piece of the meat, he didn't feel that hungry, unlike his wife and brother-in-law. He couldn't help but to say to his wife "Tha, calm the f**k down. You're going to choke yourself, honey."
She swallowed her beef and said to him "But this is so good! I've never ate anything as tasty as this!"
Hidan chuckled and took another small bite of his first beef. Thanerah and Tagor were on their fifth. He glanced over his shoulder where he last saw his children and shouted "Holy shit!" Thanerah and Tagor stopped and followed what Hidan was looking at.
Fenora was arm wrestling with a really buff man while the crowd was cheering. Fenora was emotionless as she stared at her challenger. They both were growling at each other however, and neither of them wanted to back down.
Suddenly Fenora sucked in her breath and quickly pushed the challeger's hand down on the wooden table with a loud bang. Everyone cheered and started to toss the coin on the table. Some in the crowd cheered or cry in horror.
Fenora huffed softly as she stood up from the table and said to her challenger who was rubbing his hand since she was squeezing it so tightly. She said to him "Didn't expect from a 'little girl', did ya?"
Her challenger looked up at her and smirked at her widely "Not at all. I'm really impressed. There is something more to you than meets the eye. And might I say that this is the first time I've been beaten by a lovely woman." Fenora blushed furiously and the man continued to smirk at her charmingly.
Suddenly Claw and Soran blocked the challenger's view and they were both glaring down at him. "Back away from her," growled Claw.
The challenger's smirk dropped and asked "What? Are you her mate or something?"
The brothers and Fenora gawked in disgust and the three said in unison "She's our sister!"
"They're my brothers!"
The challenger smirked, quickly stood up and walked around the brothers to get to Fenora's side. "Then would you like to have a run with me sometime, miss?" He even collected her hand to softly kiss her knuckles like a gentleman. She blushed furiously.
Suddenly the challenger felt his shoulder being tapped. He didn't bother to leave Fenora's eyes and said "Back off. We're a little busy here."
He heard a dangerous growl behind him "That's my daughter you're with, you f**king jack-ass."
The challenger flinched and he looked over his shoulder to see a very furious Hidan and Thanerah. The Challenger flinched of their glares and he released Fenora's hand "Oh shit. General Hidan." The crowd started to murmur in astonishing.
Hidan smirked "That's right. Now would you be so kind to back the f**k away from my daughter, before I cut off your balls?"
The challenger nodded nervously "Y-Yes, sir. But…"
Hidan sighed heavily "What the f**k do you want now?" he asked in annoyance.
The challenger quickly pulled out a pen and a paper "Can I have your autograph?" Hidan sighed heavily and quickly gave him an autograph.
Thanerah was surprised when more people came, asking Hidan his autograph. She softly said to him "I didn't know you were a celebrity, honey."
He sighed heavily as he signed another autograph "You get to be like this after you win many wars." He didn't sound happy either about it so she wrapped her arms around his arm and leaned her head on his shoulder.
In response he kissed her forehead. The couple received some cooing and they started to ask for her autograph. She shook her head to them "Um, it's okay."
"Are you kidding me!? You and General Hidan are the savior from the Ukrah War! Please sign it!" begged one of the fans. Thanerah felt nervous but she shrugged her shoulders and quickly signed an autograph. The fan squealed and screamed while running away "I got Thanerah Kross's autograph!"
