Fenora watched her second oldest brother eating some noodles as they were sitting in a different restaurant this time. Unfortunately they didn't have any pork ribs so Claw had to take some ramen since he was practically starving since they left the camp.

Fenora only are some dangos while Soran was eating some takeaway of cheeses from the cheese shop. She wasn't a fighter like her brothers; in fact she's more like a medical type like her mother. Thanerah runs the Medical Centre in Hanatul City.

Claw finished his noodles and brought the bowl to his lips so he can drink the entire soup. She stared at him with slight disgust as he drank the whole thing without stopping until there was none left. Then he placed the empty bowl on the wooden table with a satisfying sigh.

He still even has his stick on the corner of his mouth. She had no idea how it could have been there while he was eating or drinking. She could accidently sucked in a stick if she had done that.

She had to ask him again "How in the name of Jashin can you do things with that stick hanging from the corner of your mouth without choking?"

Claw smirked at her; a rare thing but he only showed it to his siblings, and he simply answered "It's a f**king gift." He did a small shrug.

Soran rolled his eyes to the sky and took another bite of his cheese. Suddenly he stopped when he noticed two girls giggling while whispering to each other while they were eyeing on him and Claw. Soran couldn't help but to smirk at them then he winked.

In response, the girls giggled louder and blushed more deeply.

Fenora saw that however and made a gagging sound "Oh, get a room!"

"I would if I f**king could."

"Ew! That's gross!"

"Grow up."

"You grow up!"

"I'm the f**king oldest. I'm already a f**king grown-up."

"Yet you have a brain of a child!"

Claw snickered "She does have a f**king point."

Soran glared at him "Are you trying to pick a f**king fight? You're going to get it if you keep this up."

Claw narrowed his eyes at him while he was chewing more than usual on his stick "Oh, I f**king dare you."

Fenora could feel the tension rising between the two as they both were in a glaring contest. To see if any of them would make the first move, but none of them did for the past two minutes with the tension rising. Fenora was going to say something to stop this ridiculous argument until the two girls who had been eyeing on Soran and Claw came along while looking shy.

"I-I'm sorry but…but can we have your names?" asked the one with blonde hair while wearing a pretty sun dress while her friend who is a brunette was clinging to her friend's arm so tightly from utter shyness as she was eyeing on Soran.

Fortunately that stopped the tension so the brothers turned their attention to the shy girls. They both put on their charming smiles which made them blushed furiously. They were in their middle 20s no doubt but seriously? Blushing like a little schoolgirl?

Soran charmingly said "Why not? It's not like every day we meet beautiful women." The brunette gasped and tightened her hold on her friend.

Fenora had the urge to roll her eyes to the ceiling but she held it down and just watched. Sure it's disturbing for young siblings to watch their own siblings flirting with others but she had seen this too often now a days. She grabbed a new stick of dango and took a bite of one of them.

Claw asked them smoothly "What are your names?" His voice was like silk and it could make any women's knees to shake. Fenora checked to see that his voice was working its effect.

She couldn't help but thought *I wonder how Dad charmed mother? Point is: we've never heard how our parents met…Perhaps I'll ask them when we see them.* She looked back at the scene and groaned softly as the girls introduced themselves to her brothers as Betty the blonde and Lucinda the brunette.

She frowned slightly *Sheesh, it's like I'm not here.*

Thanerah had her arm hooked with her husbands as they walked down the stairs to the bottom, but found no sight of their children but their Ukrahs as they were sleeping under a large shade of a tree while people were looking at them astonishing but they made a clear distant with them, considering that Steel kept growling at them dangerously.

Hidan walked towards Steel with Thanerah and Steel turned his attention as they approached. He didn't growl and Hidan petted Steel on the head. "I'll get you some f**king steak. How about that?" he asked with a small smirk. There was no doubt that there was proud in his voice.

Steel nodded and licked Hidan's hand. Thanerah looked at the other Ukrahs with a small smile and asked Steel "Will you all right here while looking out for them? I don't think they'll be moving soon."

Steel nodded and he softly nudged Thanerah's cheek with his snout. In response, Thanerah giggled and petted him "That's a good boy."

Hidan asked Steel "Do you know where the f**k they run off to, Steel?" he was talking about the children. Steel nodded and pointed towards a direction. Hidan petted Steel once more "Thanks, boy. I'll be back soon with your steak."

Steel growled softly before resting his head on his crossed paws.

Hidan squeezed Thanerah's hand which was hooked on his arm and walked towards the direction where Steel had pointed out. Thanerah couldn't help but to say "I hope they're not surrounded by girls again…"

Hidan chuckled "What can I f**king say? It's part of the charm through the family."

She smirked up at him "Hmm, no doubt about it."

The couple stopped as they saw their sons flirting with two beautiful girls who would have to be in their mid-20s. Thanerah sighed heavily and rubbed her brow. Hidan arched a brow and asked her softly "What's wrong? They're just flirting."

They kind of reminded him of his old days before meeting Thanerah. Though none of the girls he met before could best his beloved wife. She pulled her hand away from her brow and softly replied "I just they stop flirting around like crazy." She softly yet playfully glared at him "I bet they got it from their father…"

Hidan chuckled and tugged her forward "Don't worry, Tha. They'll find their Ones…in time. F**k, it took me centuries to find mine." He squeezed her hand with a small smile "And it was worth the waiting." Then he kissed her cheek.

Thanerah couldn't help but to giggle as she blushed while feeling her stomach full of butterflies. She playfully slapped his chest "You tease."

He sweetly said to her "Only for you."

Fenora finished her dango and her older brothers were chatting away with the girls until she caught sight of their parents walking towards them with their arms hooked with each other. She went tense and nudged Claw in his rib with her elbow.

He didn't seem to bother to pay his attention to her because he was talking to the blonde until Fenora nudged him really hard in the rib which made him gasped sharply. He growled at Fenora with narrowed eyes "What?" he asked quite angrily until Fenora pointed towards their parents.

Claw turned his attention to where she was pointing and his eyes widened. He quickly whistled to Soran to get his attention. Soran looked angry when he was disturbed and he asked Claw quite angrily "What?" Claw quickly pointed at the direction of their parents approaching and Soran cursed under his breath "Shit…"

Thanerah saw the girls walking away from their children quickly after her sons told them something. When she and Hidan approached, she couldn't help but to say "You two are becoming more like your father every day."

Both Soran and Claw looked surprised and they asked her in unison "What?"

Soran asked her "You're…You're not angry or something?"

"Why should I? It's natural for men to flirt around."

"But…doesn't that break one of the laws of Jashin? To not dally with women?" asked Claw.

Hidan narrowed his eyes at them "Now that you f**king mention it, did you give them your phone numbers? Are you planning to…see if they're the One or are they just for fun?"

Soran and Claw glanced at each other before looking back to their parents. Soran said to his parents on behalf of Claw "We…didn't bother to ask their numbers. We both knew that we weren't going to stay long so what's the f**king point? We were just talking and flirting. Nothing serious."

Claw nodded in agreement.

Hidan smirked "Good. There's no f**king trouble of flirting around a bit."

Thanerah grumbled to him "Just as long as they don't drink like you did back in your youth years."

"Hey! I was f**king young!"

"And you were such a wreck."

"I bet you were a goody-two shoes girl."

"How the hell do you know that?"

"Because I really can't f***king imagine you to be the bad ass type. But," he tugged her closer to him so their bodies were touching ", I don't want you to be in any other way."

Thanerah smiled at him and they shared a small kiss. The children groaned and turned their eyes away from their parents as they gagged together.

After Hidan pulled away and saw what his kids were doing, he rolled his eyes at them "Oh, will you three just cut that out already! You're f**king adults for f**k's sake!"

Thanerah was combing her raven long hair while Hidan was checking some things in the data pad. They were in a hotel room while their children had their own room which was next door. Hidan sighed heavily which caught her attention so she asked him "What's wrong, love?"

Hidan turned off the data pad and placed it on the side, "I just sent a f**king message to my father. I'm sure that he's not going to be f**king pleased once he hears the news that we had no f**king success here."

"So we travelled all the way here for nothing?" asked Thanerah with a small frown.

He smirked at her "Not really. Soran seems to be happy here for the cheeses. At least that's something."

Thanerah giggled a bit and walked out of the bathroom to the bed which he was sitting on the edge of. She sat beside him and leaned on his shoulder before she felt her forehead being tenderly kissed.

They stayed like that for a while until suddenly they heard a knock on their door. Hidan and Thanerah looked at each other in confusion, silently asking each other if they had invited anyone in. They both shook their head and looked at the door curiously.

"Who the f**k do you think it is?"

She shrugged her shoulders. She stood up from her seat and walked towards the door to answer it. When she opened the door, she saw that it was her children. Thanerah instantly smiled widely at them "Oh hi, is something wrong?"

Fenora grinned widely and answered "We were just wondering how you and Dad met each other. Can we come in and listen? We've been thinking about all day!"

Thanerah was surprised and glanced at her sons. They pointed at Fenora silently as they were standing right behind them while they were wearing their sleeping clothes: long pants and only long pants, like their father.

Thanerah crossed her arms on her chest with narrowed eyes and asked her daughter "How long have you been thinking about this? Haven't I told you how your father and I met?"

"Oh, is that what this is about," she heard from behind before feeling strong arms wrapped around her waist and great warmth. He looked at his kids with a smirk "Do you really want to know how I met your beautiful mother?"

Soran and Claw narrowed their eyes at them. "I hesitate to ask…" mumbled Soran and Claw nodded in agreement. Claw pointed at Fenora and said "It was her f**king idea in the first place. We just tagged along because we were f**king bored."

"Then shouldn't you three be sleeping?" asked Thanerah with an arched brow.

Soran whined "Mom! We're not 10 year olds! And Fenora kept talking and talking!" He groaned at the last part which made Fenora to glare at him and then she elbowed him in the chest which made him 'oof!'.

Hidan chuckled a bit before he said to Soran "Now, now, don't make fun of your sister. You know those are one of the f**king rules."

"Rules are meant to be broken, Dad," said Soran with a wide grin. Claw rolled his eyes to the ceiling and grumbled something inaudible.

Hidan narrowed his eyes at him "Not my f**king rules and you bloody know well the f**king consequences."

Soran grimaced and quickly said "All right. I'll shut up now."

"Thank Jashin…" muttered Claw under his breath.

Soran glared at Claw from the corner of his eyes before he turned his attention to his parents. "Now, can we come in or what?" he asked them.

Hidan and Thanerah moved to the side to let their children to enter the bedroom and Thanerah closed the door behind them as they made themselves comfortable in the room. Fenora started to beg again "Now, can you please tell us how you met?"

Thanerah glanced at Hidan and she giggled when she saw that he was nervous to tell them the truth. He said to them "I don't think you're going to like this…"

Fenora whined "Please! Just tell us!"

Hidan sighed heavily "Fine, you asked for it."

The three children stared at their parents with disbelief and shock after they were told the truth of how their parents met. Their eyes were wide and their jaw was opened while their parents were waiting for them to say something.

Soran was the first to speak "Y-You got to be f**king kidding me, right?" He started to grin, hoping that his parents were joking. But his grin faded when they shook their heads.

Hidan said to him "No, it's the truth."

Claw rubbed the bridge of his nose and grumbled "I really can't believe this…you…sacrificed mother. But then she was revived by Lord Jashin. That's how you f**king met?"

"Yes. We didn't get so well in the beginning, but we grew close," said Thanerah as she smiled at Hidan as she remembered the time when they were newlyweds. She sighed as she stared at her children "I know it's hard to believe, but look how it turned out. Everything's good now."

Fenora stared at her in shock "Yeah, but mum!"

Thanerah shook her head "No 'buts'! Now, go to bed. It's 1 in the morning and we have a long day to go tomorrow."

The three children glanced at each other before they say their goodbyes to go to bed. Once they were gone, Hidan let out a long heavy sigh. He mumbled "They took it better than I thought they would…"

Thanerah smirked at him "What did you expect from them, love?"

He shrugged his shoulders "I don't know, some f**king shouting, many questions. The whole f**king drama."

"They'll probably save that for tomorrow." She went under the covers and mentioned Hidan to join her. He did after he fluffed his pillow.

"Do I really have to answer them, honey? I don't know if I can answer them all."

She giggled as he lay down and she cuddled close to him as she felt him putting an arm over her waist "Don't worry, love. I'll explain to them."

"Please do," he begged before he kissed her lips. She giggled at that and reached her hand out to turn off the light.

During breakfast, the children were asking their mother endlessly with questions as Thanerah predicted. Hidan was thankful that Thanerah was willing to cope with this, he certainly had no idea how she could be as calm as she calmly answered all of their questions.

When he heard no more questions he let out a soft sigh of relief and read the newspaper while drinking some strong coffee. Thanerah looked relieved as well as she buttered her toast. But their children were still looking at them with curious eyes.

Hidan couldn't stand it anymore and glared at them over his newspaper, "Okay, what the f**k is it now? Haven't you asked enough questions already for today?"

The three glanced at each other, silently asking who would go first. Soran then said to his father "Yes but…I'm still so confused how you got together since you two haven't had a good start of your relationship…" He looked uneasy as he said that, as if he was expecting a long lecture from Hidan. He may probably will if he keeps this up.

Hidan folded the newspaper after letting out a heavy sigh. He placed the folded newspaper on the table and said to Soran and his siblings "Look that was a very long time ago. Your mother and I are happy now. What's in the past is the f**king past. So…drop. It." He drank some more of his strong coffee.

Thanerah patted Hidan's shoulder to calm him down and said to her children "Your father is right. That's all in the past and now we're happy. We can't change the past. So don't dwell on it."
