Everyone quickly got out of the Sacred Chamber through the secret passageway, once they were out everyone let out a heaving sigh of relief. Hidan glanced at the dark passageway over his shoulder as he mumbled under his breath "Glad that's fucking over…" He turned his attention back to the group to see one of the soldiers already requesting for someone to rescue them from this hell hole. But Hidan was more curious of how they're going to bring this pack out of this place without the need to convert them into Jashinism.

Hidan glanced at his wife to see her already praying; her Jashin pendant pressing against her pink soft lips and her eyes closed in concentration. Shade glanced at Hidan to ask him "So, what happens now?" Hidan just shush him to be quiet, and surprisingly he obeyed. After a while, Thanerah opened her eyes and dropped her pendant around her neck.

She smiled at Shade softly and said "It appears fortune smiled at us today."

Shade arched a brow at her in confusion as he put his hands on the side of his hips, "What do you mean?"

Instead of answering his question, she walked towards him. Hidan flinched and quickly got to her side. But he stopped when Thanerah pulled out a small knife after stopping in front of Shade. She cut her wrist sharply but she didn't flinch or yelp in pain. Her blood heavily dripped from her small wound, but she didn't seem to care. She used her finger to get some of her blood and suddenly drew a Jashin symbol on Shade's forehead.

Shade sharply pulled away from her with an annoying growl "W-What are you doing!"

Thanerah simply smiled at him "I'm helping you. My father told me that this is the only way he'll contact your souls so you can pass through the barrier. Now, do you want to get out of here, or not?" she asked him sternly as he smile disappeared from her angelic face. Hidan smirked at her dominance and he glanced at the pack to see them glancing at each other in hesitation.

Shade sighed heavily in defeat and leaned his forehead forward as a sign that she has his permission. She smiled in victory and easily finished the Jashin symbol on his forehead. Some of her blood oozed down from the bloody symbol and Shade had to urge to wipe it off his face but controlled himself from doing so. Thanerah went to the other three and did the same thing; despise their discomfort of having a bloody Jashin symbol oozing down to their chin.

Thanerah glanced at her wound on her wrist to see that it's completely healed. Her smile widened and said to Hidan as she put the small knife away "All right, we're good to go. How long will they get here?"

Hidan glanced at the soldier who was sending the coordinates to the rescue party. The soldier answered "They'll be here in two hours, tops."

"That's good. Now, we just need to find a place to shelter from the Ukrahs until they come. I don't want to get fucking eaten by the fucking Ukrahs…"

Thanerah added in his sentence with a small smile "Don't forget the Death Walkers, honey."

Hidan smirked at her as he said "Yeah, them too."

Shade gawked at them, along with his companions. Shade said to them sharply while hissing through gritting teeth to Thanerah "You could have done this," he pointed at the blood Jashin symbols on their forehead "later!"

Hidan quickly blocked his wife from Shade with an angry expression. Hidan growled at Shade angrily "Don't talk to my wife like that, you fucking pup. Be glad that we're saving your asses or else we'll just leave you fuckers here to rot. Are we clear?"

Shade growled at him inhumanly but Thanerah quickly explained as she butted into their glaring battle. "I can explain! The reason why I have done that is because my father is now baptizing your blood so you can go through the barrier with us! And this needs time! Trust me, two hours is good enough!"

Both men glanced at her and Shade started to apologize "Oh, then forgive my behavior. I am grateful for your help, truly."

Thanerah kindly smiled at him "It's all right. It's the least I can do for my kind."

Shade tilted his head to the side as he got a curious look, so he said to her "I'm…terribly sorry, but you look very similar to someone I used to know. Do you have a chance to be related to a woman named Jadica Storm?"

Thanerah's smile dropped as she stared at Shade surprisingly "That's my mother's name…"

Shade and his companions looked shocked now and Shade muttered under his breath "I knew it…I knew you're her daughter…"

Hidan butted into their conversation with a question "Excuse me, but how the fuck do you know her mother?"

"Her mother was a well-known warrior, an excellent example of the entire wolf clans. She belong to a pack name Besrath, The Heart of Many, they're the pack that protects the wolf clans. Keeps it alive and be certain that the old ways are not forgotten. They are highly respected in our culture."

Hidan looked at his wife to see her looking at Shade surprisingly. She asked him "Really? My own mother?" Shade nodded. Thanerah looked at the side in deep thought and mumbled to herself "I wonder why she never told me that she was a werewolf…"

Hidan shrugged his shoulders as he guessed her answer "I guess she was just trying to protect you. I heard that being a werewolf is not as easy as you may fucking think."

"Then how could my mother made is this far? And in all of my childhood, she barely left my side."

"Maybe when you're asleep, she goes on a hunt or something? I don't fucking know."

Thanerah's mind went back to her childhood and do remember that there were a few times when she heard the front door being opened. She once snuck out of her bedroom when she heard as her mother was entering the house in the middle of the night. Thanerah only had a quick glimpse and managed to escape back in bed before her mother could have noticed.

The soldier looked at a direction and said to the group "Sir, we have to go. Ukrahs are on their way towards us, now."

Hidan groaned softly "Right…Let's go."

Two hours later, Thanerah was swinging her leg off the edge of the thick branch that she was sitting on for the past two hours while the rest were sitting on the branch as well; entirely bored out of their lives. Fortunately, no Ukrahs have found them and there were no flying Ukrahs in this area. Hidan was sitting next to her and twisting a small thin branch from the tree. Hidan blew his lips from boredom and checked his watch.

When he saw the time, he groaned deeply and leaned his head back as he groaned loudly "Fuck! Where the fuck are they!"

Everyone didn't bother to glance at his whining, because they're thinking the same thing. Thanerah sighed heavily then leaned her head on his shoulder to take a small nap. Hidan glanced at her and said with a small smirk "I don't think I'm that fucking comfortable as you may think."

Thanerah groaned deeply because he was right about that, because of his damn body armor. She pulled away from him and rubbed the back of her neck. "But I'm so damn sleepy, love. I want to sleep!"

"I know, I know." Suddenly, Hidan heard a small beeping sound from his arm data device and he let out a small laugh before mumbling "Finally…" he glanced up and see the rescue team ship floating above them. Everyone sighed in relief as the bottom hatch was being lowered down to the group. Everyone quickly aboard the platform and they were brought up to the ship.

Thanerah glanced at the container of the 8th spirit that's attached to her belt and held it to be more certain that it won't escape from her grasp. She would be very happy if she wouldn't have to come back here again. Once they got onto the ship, it immediately flew towards the direction to Jontha city.

Shade let out a small laugh as he looked outside through one of the small windows. "Pinch me if I'm dreaming…We're really out." Hidan smirked and gladly gave him a good tight pinch on the neck. As predicted, Shade let out a loud yelp in pain and glared at the accomplice while rubbing the stinging spot. "What the hell was that for!"

Hidan crossed his arms on his chest as he answered him with a smirk "You said you wanted to be pinch to be fucking certain that you're not dreaming your ass off. I was just granting your wish."

"But I didn't really mean it! But damn, why do you have to pinch so hard!"

Hidan just ignored him and glanced at his other side to check on his wife. He saw her already sleeping against his shoulder. His smirk widened and he smoothly wrapped an arm around her shoulder so her head was resting on his chest instead. Thanerah let out a soft sigh and she snuggled her face on his chest, although it felt uncomfortable because of the hard armor.

Thanerah managed to sleep through the entire way and she was woken up by being shaken by her husband. "Tha? Tha, wake the fuck up! We're home." Thanerah fluttered her eyes open and realized that they were the only two remaining in the ship.

She rubbed her eyes as she asked Hidan "W-What's going on?"

Hidan just smirked at his tired wife "We're home. Do you want to fucking sleep on the bed or what?"

Thanerah reached her arms out to him as she begged "Carry me…I'm tired."

"Tha, come on. I'm fucking tired."

"Carry me."

Hidan sighed heavily in defeat; he's really exhausted and is too tired to argue with her. "Fine," he carefully and quickly collected her in his arms to carry her bridle-style. Once she was settled in his arms, he said "You're lucky that I love you so much."

Thanerah smiled softly as she rested her head on his chest. But she frowned when she was leaning on the hard armor instead of his hard bare chest as she usually does. She groaned to him softly "I hate this armor…" She earned a chuckle from her husband, a tired one in fact but she understood. They're both exhausted from the mission.

It felt like forever as Hidan was walking back to the apartment with Thunder walking beside them, and he was half asleep himself. Finally, they reached the apartment and Hidan didn't hesitate to walk straight to the bedroom while Thunder just lay on the carpet floor in the living room. Once they entered the bedroom, Hidan dropped on the bed with Thanerah without being bothered to take out his armor, and his weapon just dropped flatly on the floor.

Thanerah groaned and pushed herself off him because his armor was making her feel uncomfortable. She rolled to her side of the bed and sighed in relief when her head was lying on the soft pillow and mattress. Hidan opened his eyes at her tiredly and asked her wryly "Am I that uncomfortable…?"

"Yeah…Get rid of that…" she tiredly said to him as she was half way to sleep. Her only response was a deep groan but she felt the bed being shifted. Soon, she heard hard metal being dumped on the floor but that's what she expected from someone like Hidan. She felt the bed being shifted once more, felt comforting warmth behind her and an arm wrapped around her waist. Thanerah smiled and brought her hand up to hold his hand as she used the other to support the pillow.

Thanerah woken up alone in bed and she wondered where her husband might have run off to this time. She glanced at the bathroom to see it slightly ajar, so it's a possibility that Hidan is taking a shower but she heard no running water. She got out of the bed swiftly and walked towards the bathroom. She pushed the door wider and saw Hidan taking a bubble bath as he was relaxing inside of it.

Thanerah couldn't help but smile then heard "You're going to join me or what…?" She surpassed a giggle before she started to strip bare. Once her clothes were gone, she gladly joined in the bath tub. Hidan mentioned her to come and she obeyed. She pressed her body against his as she felt him wrapping his arms around her.

"I got a call from my father. He said that he's giving us three days off. So…what the fuck do you want to do?"

Thanerah let out a small laugh as she leaned her head on his bare chest and slightly blew some bubbles. She simply answered while feeling his well-built chest with her hand "I just want to spend my time with my irresistible husband. That's all."

Hidan smirked down at her "You know what to fucking say, don't you?"

"I aim to please, love." Then she remembered about the wolf pack that they saved, so she asked him "Hey, what happened to Shade and the others?"

"They got off the ship in the middle of the way while you were sleeping. They said that they're returning to their families."

"Oh…well, that's good to hear…"

Hidan arched a brow as he tilted his head while his wife was staring into space. "Something in your mind, babe?" he asked her.

"…I was just wondering what my life would be like if I have known that I was a werewolf. And I would like to learn their culture."

Hidan frowned deeply "Please don't fucking tell me that you're going to convert yourself to the fucking wolf culture."

"Of course not, but I would like to know about it. After all, it's part of my gene, right?"

"I…guess. But maybe you should ask your brother, maybe he knows something."

"Hmm…maybe I'll invite him for dinner tonight."

Hidan shook his head "No, not tonight. Tonight, I just want just the two of us, all right? Do you have any fucking idea how hard it was for me not to do what I want with you while we were out in that fucking mission? It was like a fucking torture."

Thanerah smiled widely "Aren't Jashinists supposed to like pain?"

"There are many types of fucking pain, Tha. And I don't like emotional pain. It's just too fucking much for me."

She leaned forward to peck his lips "Me too."
