Hidan walked up the long stairs with Thanerah following behind. There was countless stairs ahead and it was only illuminated by purple energy lights. Hidan was holding her hand through the entire way. She couldn't help but to ask him "Honey, do you know who this guy is? What's his name again?"

He looked at her over his shoulder and answered "I think his name is Professor Bodun or something like that. I can't remember. And I think I fucking met him once or twice." He shrugged at that.

She giggled then she looked over her shoulder worriedly "I'm a little worried about the-!"

"The kids?" he asked as he came to a halt and turned around to face her. She couldn't help but to nod. He chuckled and took a step down so he was standing closer to her "Sweetie, our kids are going to be fine. They're adults now."

She let out a small laugh "It's still hard to believe that those three children have grown up so fast…" She could already remember the time when Soran first took his steps and his first word which was 'mama'. She also remembered the time when she and Hidan brought their children to a fun park together. Overall, it was such a magical time.

Hidan quickly leaned forward to plant a soft kiss on her lips. After he pulled away he said to her with a smile "We can have another one, if you want. I won't mind having another Hidan junior running around the apartment."

She giggled and pecked his lips "Yeah…I guess the kids won't mind another baby brother or sister."

"Who the fuck knows? Maybe we could have twins…or triplets."

She laughed at that "Oh, I think one is enough. You know what they say, 'double the trouble'."

"It could happen, honey."

"Yes, it could but I wouldn't want that. Do you know how hard it is of being pregnant? With the cravings, the back aches, the hormones, the morning sickness…"

He wrapped his arms around her to press her body against his. Her heart skipped a beat as she could feel his hot breath against her face. No matter how many years have passed, he could always make her feel like they just married after a month. It was utterly thrilling.

"But I think you have a beautiful glow whenever you're pregnant. It's really a big turn on for me whenever I see you devouring on a chocolate cake in the middle of the night when you think I'm fucking asleep."

She gasped in surprise "H-How the hell did you know tha-!"

"Hello~? I used to be a fucking ninja. I have high trainings to be a stealthy bastard. It wasn't long for me to see you eating half of the fucking fridge. But it's was fucking adorable. I'm still surprised that none of the kids got fat after how many you've eaten."

She glared at him "You're telling me I'm fat."

"No. I think you're the most beautiful woman in the whole entire fucking world." He kissed her tenderly and after he pulled away, she was dazed. She cleared her throat a bit and shook her head to clear her mind.

She then mumbled "But my hips have gone bigger though…" she rubbed the side of her hip. She indeed had wider hips than before. It was after giving birth to Fenora.

He smirked as he rubbed the side of her hip "I think this make you even sexier…" he groaned as he leaned forward to bury his face in her neck and softly pushed her against the side wall. She moaned softly as he was nibbling her neck "Do you have any fucking idea how hard it is for me not to take you during our way here? I knew you be pissed off if we made love near the kids. I promised not to scar them anymore."

She sighed as he bit a sensitive spot. She grabbed a handful of his silver hair then noticed that they've grown longer. She couldn't help but say "Hmm…you need a haircut."

He froze before chuckling deeply. He pulled away from her to look at her with humorous eyes "You have a very strange way of saying things at these kinds of moments, you know that?"

She shrugged "I aim to please." She caressed his face before combing his slick back hair softly. He let her and closed his eyes while feeling her delicate touch. "Would you mind cutting my hair for me? I fucking hated when someone else does it."

He reopened her eyes to see her beautiful smile dazzling. She cupped his face and brought his lips against hers. They kissed slowly and tenderly until she pulled away. She said to him as she smiled "Of course, honey." She then grabbed his hand softly and started to lead him up the stairs "Come on, General. The Professor's waiting."

He growled deeply as he smirked up at her with desire in his eyes "Tha, don't fucking tease me. You know calling my 'General' turns me on so much."

She giggled "Well, then I suppose I should get a punishment from the all mighty General then for my misbehavior."

He grinned wickedly at her "Tch, you minx. Wait till we get home and you'll be screaming my name for the entire week."

Fenora and Claw were staring at their older brother in disgust as he was devouring as much Polan cheese as possible in the typical Cheese shop. Fenora flinched when Soran burped with the corners of his mouth covered with crumbles of cheeses. There were still two more plates of cheeses.

Claw had to ask him "How…in the name of Jashin…can you eat like 15 plates of medium size cheeses in…" he checked his watch and he arched his brow in surprise "…holy shit…" he mumbled to himself. Then he continued his unfinished sentence to his older brother "…1 and a half!"

Soran took another bite of cheese and simply shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know, but have you tried the fucking cheese here? It's so fucking good!" He actually sparked when he said that.

Claw and Fenora glanced at each other then look back at Soran. Fenora said to him "Seriously, someday you're going to get a stomach ache if you keep this up."

Claw narrowed his eyes at Soran and point at him with a warning finger "You better not fucking puke when we get back home." He grimaced "Like last time."

Soran rolled his eyes "I told you! It was a fucking accident!"

"But we fucking warned you not to eat too much, but you never listened!" He remembered every single moment of that time when he and Fenora were warning him when he was devouring a lot of cheeses in one mission. It was a disaster in the end while Claw was covered in puke.

Soran nodded and said "I won't make the same fucking mistake. I promise."

"You better," growled Claw angrily then he chewed some more of his stick. Then he spat at it to the side and took out a new one from his pocket.

Fenora asked Claw "Can you ever stopped chewing on sticks?"

Claw arched a brow at her "Would you rather have me smoking then?"

"Hmm…no. Yeah, just keep chewing on sticks. I can't deal with the damn smell."

Soran grabbed a piece of cheese and offered it to his siblings, but they shook their heads. They were only drinking tea since they're not in the 'mood' to eat any cheeses. Every time they're with Soran, they would be at a Cheese shop, no matter what time it is.

Soran pouted and waved the piece of cheese to them "Come on! Just take a fucking bite."

Claw and Fenora said in unison "NO."

"So can you do something about this?" asked Thanerah as a middle age man with crazy light grey hair with a…amusing beard that is spikey like he just got electrified but it also fitted his style. He was also wearing some weird scientific goggles with a white lab coat.

He was examining the orb map with so much enthusiasm and fascinating. It was…creeping Thanerah a little. Hidan was looking through the weird experiments with weird little crawling creatures stuck in liquid containers. He made faces but kept his mouth shut, thankfully.

Professor Bodun grinned widely at Thanerah and said "This artifact is amazing! Where did you find this?" he asked with such enthusiasm.

Thanerah glanced at Hidan. He turned around to walk towards Thanerah to stand by her side and answered "It's classified. Sorry."

The Professor nodded understandingly, surprisingly. Thanerah felt a hand resting on her waist and she instantly leaned against Hidan in response. They watched as the Professor was working on the orb until he sighed heavily in defeat "This is so alien to me." He sadly looked at the couple "I'm very sorry. I can't figure out how to open this. I'm terribly sorry."

Thanerah smiled at him and placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder "Don't be so harsh on yourself. At least you tried. Thank you for your time."

Hidan grabbed the golden orb and safely put it in his side pouch. He wrapped an arm around Thanerah's shoulder and walked out of the door.
