Two hours later Hidan had regained his conscious. His vision was blurry as he opened his eyes and the room seemed to be spinning. He slowly sat up while holding his head as he groaned deeply "Argh, my fucking head..."

"Hidan!" he heard Thanerah's voice. He quickly jerked his head to where her voice was and saw her being bond on the metal bed by metal ropes.

"T-Thanerah!" he quickly got off the ground and rushed to the computers. He quickly pressed the button to release Thanerah from her bonds. Once she was released, she sat up as he rushed to her side. "Thanerah, what the fuck happened to the old man! What did he fucking do!"

Thanerah looked at his face and explained to him. "It's not what you think, Hidan!"

"It does fucking look like it, Tha! He's the fucking traitor!"

"Yes, but he has a good damn reason of why he's doing this!"

"What?" he asked with a confused expression. Then he groaned as he felt his neck of where Dr Raze injected him. "Fuck! I should have seen that coming!"

Thanerah cupped his cheek and that froze him in that spot. Thanerah started to explain to him about Dr Raze's actions. "He has no choice, Hidan. The Natoku threatened to harm his pregnant daughter if he doesn't do this."

Hidan's eyes widened "Are you fucking serious? Then why didn't he say anything about this! We could have helped him!"

"He didn't want any of us to get involved in his personal needs! He didn't want us to be dead!"

"That doesn't give us a fucking excuse to fucking betray us like this!"

"Hidan, we need to find him! We don't have time to argue about this! What's done is done!"

Hidan heaved in deeply and asked Thanerah with a small glare "Why should we fucking help him if he didn't want our fucking help in the first place?" He asked as he growled.

Thanerah softly glared at her stubborn husband. "Then what would you have done if you were in his place? What would you have done if I was held captive and you can't tell anyone about it?"

Hidan was absolutely silent for a moment as his eyes was mixed with fury and love. He sighed heavily in defeat as he closed his eyes. He mumbled under his breath. "I would have done the same..."

Thanerah sighed as she leaned against him, burying her face in his neck as he was in deep thought. "...what are we going to do now?"

"First things first. Track down where the fuck Dr Raze went, get some arms and see what Dr Raze has gotten himself into."


"You're kidding me, right?" asked Odan as he stared at his son in disbelief.

Hidan shook his head as he said. "No, I'm fucking serious."

Odan started to pace back and forth in the office with Wraith sitting behind his desk and a glass of brandy in his hand. "I can't believe that Dr Raze would abandon us like this..."

"He had no choice. His daughter was threatened if he didn't do this. But we're wasting enough time as it is. Give me the fucking permission to hunt him down."

Odan glanced over his shoulder to his son with an angry glare. "Are you going to kill him or bring him here alive?"

"It's up to you, old man."

Odan inhaled deeply then ordered his son. "Go after Dr Raze and do your best to take him back here, alive."

Hidan nodded and turned to exit the office.


Thanerah was in the control tower in the harbour, waiting for her husband to return from the meeting. She turned her head to the entrance when she heard the doors opened and a voice. "What the fuck are his co-ordinates?" demanded Hidan as he strode across the room towards the commander of the control tower.

The commander glanced at the General and answered him formally. "He's going to an abandoned territory in high speed. We tried to make contact with him but he refused to cooperate."

"Tch, figures..." mumbled Hidan with a small growl as he crossed his arms on his chest. "So you have no idea where the fuck he's going to land?"

"Well sir, the only area that is capable of landing is an abandon small island that has a ruined castle on it."

"Well then, that's our answer." He turned to his wife. "Come on, Tha. I want to get some fucking direct answers from doc when we get there."


Three hours later and they arrived at their destination at night fall. The island that they believed to be Dr Raze's destination was surrounded by a mass ocean and it was true that there was a ruined old castle upon it. Hidan ordered the pilot to stop above the castle and he obeyed. Once they were hovering over the castle, Hidan ordered the 5 phantoms he brought.

"Don't get your guard down. We don't know if he's alone down there. Understood?" The phantoms nodded before they stood up from their seats. Hidan put an ear piece in his ear as Thanerah done the same. He opened the hatch and looked down to the ground.

He breathed in deeply and said. "I'll go first."

Thanerah's heart skipped a beat as she knew what he was planning to do. "Hidan, don-!" it was too late when Hidan just jumped off the ship to the ground. Thanerah looked down in shock but saw Hidan landed on the ground roughly, it even made a spider web crack from his impact but he didn't look injured. He smirked softly and looked up to give Thanerah a small wave. Thanerah rolled her eyes as she let out a small laugh. "Damn it, nearly gave me a heart attack."

Hidan checked his surroundings to find the place to be abandoned for a very, very long time. But he could feel something wrong around here, he just doesn't know what it is. He sighed softly and looked up at them.

He said to them through his ear piece. "Hey, what the fuck are you all doing? Get the fuck down here."

Later on, everyone was coming down but the pilot. Once they were, the pilot flew away into a safety zone. Thanerah stood close to her husband as he took his weapon out but didn't expand it. Hidan walked down a path that he felt should be the right one with the group following him. But they had to stop quickly when they saw two ships on the clearing.

"I wonder who the fuck is with the doc..." mumbled Hidan as he stared at the unfamiliar ship with an arched brow, but that vehicle looked very familiar. "Where have I seen that before...?" he asked in wonder.

But his thoughts were disturbed when he heard one of the Phantoms said. "Sir, I could hear some voices down there."

Hidan turned his head towards the direction of where he was mentioning about and see that it was a dark stairwell but he could hear some faint voices echoing from it. "One of them is definitely doc's..." They quickly walked to the stair well but quietly so they wouldn't be notice by the people below. They quietly walked down the stairs but they had to be careful because it's quit slippery.

They stopped at the end of the stair well that led to a clearing but they could see Dr Raze waiting in the middle of the room while carrying the container of the Spirits. Before him, there were three men disguised in black so it was hard to see their identity.

Dr Raze asked the leader of the group. "Where is my daughter? I want my daughter, now!"

"You're not in a good position to order us around."

Dr Raze growled at them. "You either give my daughter back or I'll alert the Jashinist."

"Don't you think it's a bit too late for that?"

"But either way, you're not getting your hands on the Spirits unless you hand over my daughter, safely!"

The leader sighed heavily and nodded towards the right hand man. The right hand man nodded and went to a room. He opened it with a big creak from the old door and harshly pulled out a pregnant woman with long brown hair and onyx eyes. "F-Father!" she cried out as tears were running down from her eyes as the man was harshly pulling her forward by the back of her collar dress.

Dr Raze shouted in fury. "Stop hurting my daughter, you bastard!"

Thanerah was traumatized by the scene and she could feel her blood boiling in anger under her skin. Her Krystol spread on her arm unconsciously and she softly growled inhumanly. She wanted to tear the culprits' heads off but Hidan held her back. He shook his head to her as she stared at him in disbelief that he would let them to continue. He mouthed to her. "Wait."

He mentioned three Phantoms to go around the area and keeping an eye on the three culprits. Once they understood their orders, they went back up stairs quietly to get into positions.

Thanerah looked back to the scene and saw the right hand man pushing the pregnant woman harshly on the ground. She whimpered while holding her round stomach, hoping that the baby is still alive.

Dr Raze growled at the three. "You heartless bastards...I can't wait for your kind to be wiped out."

The leader let out a small chuckle. "We'll just see, won't we?" He suddenly he pulled out a gun from his side and aimed at Dr Raze. "Now hand over the Spirits before I blew your guts off."

Dr Raze glanced at his whipping daughter with sadness in his eyes. He took a few steps forward and passed the Spirits to him. The leader put it safely in his back pack and said to him. Dr Raze asked him "Now that you have what your boss want, will you let us go, peacefully?"

The leader was quiet for a moment then said "You have been a great help, really. But the Natoku doesn't like to have loose strings. So you're better dead than alive, old man."

The daughter went rigid and shouted "Please don't!"

The leader was going to pull the trigger but the gun was quickly shot at, forcing it to escape from its owner's hand. The leader groaned from the close gun fire and glared at where the shot was from.

Hidan said as he walked out with the remaining group. "Put your fucking hands up before I shoot your brains off."

One of the three men was going to pull his weapon but one of the Phantoms nearly shot one of his feet that made him to stop. "I wouldn't do that if I were you."

The leader smirked behind his under his dark hood and said. "Well, if it isn't the General and older brother of Koruko."

Hidan flinched and he hardened his glare as he growled. "Where the fuck is he?"

The leader chuckled and said "How the hell should I know? I don't know the boy besides his name. But you two look very alike so I knew that you must be brothers."

Hidan growled until he heard his wife whispered to him. "Hidan, we have to get it back..."

Hidan glanced at her from the corner of his eyes and mumbled. "Right..." He returned his glare at the leader and demanded "Give me back the fucking Spirits, or die."

"Hmf, it would be easier to just shoot me and get it from my corpse. Wouldn't it?"

"Hmm...Good point." He readied his gun weapon. "I'll just do that instead."

Before Hidan could pull the trigger, the leader suddenly shot Dr Raze in the heart. He screamed in pain as blood splattered from his back and his daughter cried out in horror. "Father!"

Hidan fired but the leader turned into shadow. The other two were aimed in the head immediately from the three Phantoms that were in positions but they turned into shadow as well. Hidan cursed under his breath as Thanerah quickly got to Dr Raze's side as he suffered to stay conscious. His daughter got to his other side and held his bloody hand as she whimpered with more tears sliding down from her eyes. "D-Dad..."

He tried to say something to his daughter but more blood came out of his mouth instead. Thanerah quickly checked his wounds and cursed under her breath. "Shit...So close to the heart..." She turned her head to her husband with sad eyes and tears were threatening to come out. "What the hell are you waiting for! Call the pilot back so we can bring him to be properly treated!"

Hidan looked at her blankly and said. "Tha, he's not going to make it. He'll just die halfway if we bring him to medical care now."

Thanerah stared at him in shock and asked "Why are you telling me this! He can't die!"

Hidan narrowed his eyes at her and said "Thanerah, he's only half immortal. Half immortals can die from severe injuries. Thus, Dr Raze is going to die. The only thing we could offer to him now is a quick death. Give him peace."

Thanerah couldn't hold back the tears and let them slide down from her eyes to her chin. She looked back at the suffering Dr Raze and saw his daughter crying on his bloody chest. Dr Raze weakly mentioned Thanerah to come near his face and when she did, he whispered something in her ear. After that, she nodded. "I understand..." She sadly looked at her husband. "Hidan...I-I..."

He knew what she was asking him so he got to her side and kneeled down. He looked at the doctor's face to see him with pleading eyes to end his suffering. Hidan sighed softly because he knew all of this too well. Hidan aimed his gun weapon at his heart and said to the dying doctor with soft sorrow. "See ya, doc..." He fired in his heart and he gasped from the sudden pain. But he let out a releasing sigh as he went limp on the ground with the life disappearing from his eyes.

The daughter cried even more from that point, but it was expected. Thanerah went to her husband's arms to cry in his chest and he let her. He wrapped his arms around her to comfort her as she cried in his chest, but not as much as Dr Raze's daughter.

Afterwards, Hidan ordered one of the Phantoms "Call the pilot and send word to Odan to throw a funeral."
