Tagor couldn't help but to ask Hidan, "What the hell are we supposed to do now? Pick through the bushes with sticks?" he asked with such enthusiasm.

Right now, the Jashinists are spreading around the Hunting Grounds to find the first Kryselis to win the competition but Thanerah didn't care about it. The Hunting Grounds were mostly covered in snow but that didn't stop the hunt. Hidan glanced at Tagor over his shoulder and said with a small growl of annoyance, "First we'll have to find some fucking bait for the Kryselis to come out from its hiding. But be aware that there are other…fucking monsters amidst around here."

Tagor grumbled with sarcastic delight, "Wonderful…"

Thanerah arched a brow at her older brother, "What made you so grouchy all over a sudden, brother?"

He shook his head and shifted more of his weight on his right leg, "It's nothing."

She and her husband exchanged some discreet weird glances at each other but they'll ask him later. She asked Hidan, "So, where should we start?"

"We'll just look through the area for a bit. See if we 'll have any luck to find a Kryselis before the others."

"Do we necessarily have to find a Kryselis? I mean, I'm not that eager to sit in the fancy table with the top guests."

"I know, but capturing a Kryselis is an honor in Jashin traditions. It also marks you nobility."

"Really?" asked Thanerah with an arched brow. She never thought of herself as a noble woman, but it's not like Hidan would mind getting the title of Lordship even though he's the son of the High Priest already.

He nodded and scanned the area as he tightened his coat to keep himself warm from the bitter cold. "Come on, I don't want to freeze to death."

Thanerah kneeled down when she saw a spot of blood on the white snow. They were climbing on an old stair case until the blood caught her eyes. Hidan kneeled beside her to examine the tainted snow as well. She asked him, "Do you think it's from a Kryselis or something else?"

Tagor stated her, "I heard that Kryselises bites for dominance. So it's a possibility that it's from them."

She asked them, "Do you think we could use this to divert rivals?"

Tagor nodded in agreement, "Good idea. We'll do that."

Suddenly they heard another Kryselis noise but it was closer than before. Hidan and Thanerah stood up from the ground while staring at the distance where the sound came from. Tagor asked them when he stood by their side, "Do you think we can mimic that?"

The couple looked at him flatly as if they were looking at an idiot. Hidan slightly sneered at him as he said, "Do you really think that I can make a fucking sound like that? What about you?"

Tagor narrowed his eyes at him, "Don't make me bite you."

Hidan rolled his eyes, "Oh please! The only person that I allow to fucking bite me is Thanerah!"

Now he looked disgusted, "Ew! That's my sister you're talking about!"

Hidan glared at him, "Deal with it, bitch! Can you stop being a goody two shoes for just one fucking minute, will you!"

Thanerah couldn't take it anymore then she stomped her way to stand between them. They both stopped immediately when they saw her and she scolded them with hard glares, "Enough, you two! This is getting us nowhere! Now come on! We have a Kryselis to catch, remember!"

They both groaned deeply but they didn't argue any further.

She sighed heavily as she felt slightly frustrated, *Why can't they get along for just one day? Is that too much to ask?* She softly rubbed her forehead to ease the throbbing pain in her head.

"So…this is the spot?" asked Tagor as he looked at his surroundings as they were in a small clearing. Perfect to bait a Kryselis.

Hidan scanned the area and nodded. He grinned widely as he said, "Yep. This is the perfect fucking place to bait a Kryselis." Then he said as he looked at the two siblings, "Now we need a good fucking bait." He grinned widely towards Tagor, "I believe you're perfect for the fucking job."

Tagor looked very, very irritated, "What?" he growled, "why me?"

Hidan simply answered with a small shrug, "Because I said so."

"Why you little…" Tagor wanted nothing more than to punch his face right now, but his little sister stood in his way with a death glare.

"How many times do I have to monitor you two! I'll be the bait!"

Both men immediately protested, "NO!"

"Whether you like it or not, I'm the bait!"

She was suddenly grabbed by the shoulders and she was forced to face her husband. "Tha, are you fucking crazy! You could get killed in this!"

"Thanerah, I would have to agree with your lunatic husband!" agreed Tagor as he stood by his side. He sighed heavily in defeat and said as he spread his arms in the air in defeat, "And I'll be the bait!"

Before Thanerah could say a single word, she heard Hidan's voice. "Tha, don't…" He slightly growled like a little threaten. His voice softened a bit as he slightly loosened his hold on her shoulders, "…just don't. Okay? I really, really don't want to risk it…again."

Thanerah knew what he was talking about and it made her to feel slightly guilty. She leaned forward to capture his lips for a small peck then pulled away before he could return it. "All right…" she turned her attention to her older brother, "Now, how are we going to make you a good bait…?"

Hidan turned his head to him to give him a wide grin, "I know a perfect fucking way…" He released his wife, stood before Tagor, pulled out a knife and cut his wrist to draw out his blood.

Tagor narrowed his eyes at him in suspicion, "Hidan…what the hell are you doin'?"

He didn't reply and just suddenly splashed his own blood on Tagor, also planting some blood marks on his face.

"H-Hey!" protested Tagor as he quickly pushed his bloody hand away from his face. "What the hell was that for!"

"The bait needs to be alive, don't you think? And the fucking blood really attracts those fucking beasts out of its hiding. Now, dance around like a crazy fucking lunatic!" He said with such enthusiasm.

Tagor looked like he will explode in rage at any second and he growled at him as he asked, "Are you fucking serious?"

Hidan grinned widely and placed his hands on the side of his hips, "Come on, pup. We don't have it all fucking day, you know?"

Tagor glanced at his little sister and she responded with "It's either this or I'm the bait."

Hidan growled at him, "You better fucking do it."

"What about you, asshole!" asked Tagor with an anime vein popping on his forehead.

"Just do the fucking dance! Or I'll decapitate you and use it to get the fucking beast here!"

"Fine! Fine!" shouted Tagor in defeat then he started to dance around like a lunatic as he was advised by Hidan. Hidan himself look like he was going to burst in laughter at any moment as he watched Tagor.

Thanerah got to her husband's side and whispered to him, "You are a very, very cruel man, love."

"Oh, I fucking know," he turned his head to smirk down at her then he wrapped an arm around her waist to bring her closer to him, ", but that's one of the things you love me about."

She smiled widely and quickly kissed him. He responded quickly and didn't bother to be gentle with her. They quickly had to pull away when they heard a growl from the within the forest and rough rustling through the trees. They both look to see Tagor frozen in his spot and he was looking at the direction where the sound was coming from.

Suddenly a large beast came pouncing out from its hiding spot and Tagor quickly jumped out of the way before the beast AKA Kryselis roared loudly in the air that made the earth to slightly shaken.

The Kryselis was a four legged beast; with blue scales; weird fins that are like wings that came out from its elbows; fin spikes from its head to its lower back and a mouth with sharp teeth.

Thunder growled and immediately charged up just as the Kryselis looked at Tagor. It snarled at him and was going to attack him but Thunder quickly sent his lightning bolts at it. The Kryselis screeched in response and immediately turned its attention from Tagor to Thunder.

Hidan immediately put his wife behind him as he pulled out his weapon. "Come on, come on…" he muttered impatiently as he expanded his scythe to its fullest and went tense when the Kryselis charged towards them.

Thanerah's Krystol spread itself until her chest and she formed an arm sword. She quickly jumped to the side when the Kryselis charged through but Hidan didn't jump away, he dodged it. He quickly used his scythe to cut one of its legs and it fell to the ground.

Hidan didn't hesitate to raise his scythe and stabbed through the beast. It screeched but quickly went limp.

He smirked and pulled his scythe out from the beast then put it on his back. "Tch, that was easier than I thought." He kneeled down to examine the beast, "It's still a pup though…"

Thanerah got to his side as her Krystol retreated back to its original form. "Now that we got our Kryselis, what now?"

Hidan stood up and faced her, "We'll inform Odan about this. Then we'll prepare ourselves for the celebration tonight. I hope you got something fancy for tonight."
