Lexi's P.O.V.
It was Hidan and I sitting at the dinning room table. He found Akumu and took her back to her original home. I, on the other hand, was done packing up all our stuff. I was ready to go now. If me and Ray left by tonight, we'll be in Konoha in the morning.
I could only sigh out though. What a waste of 8 years, seriously. I'm done with love. I know I said it before, but I'm truly done with it now. I experience marriage, the lies, the betrayal, all of it. It's over now.
"…Are you really sure about this?" Hidan asked me. "Do you really want to go with this?" he asked.
"…Yea…"
I heard him sigh out. "Alexis-"
"Lexi."
"…Lexi." Hidan corrected himself, and I also heard hurt in his voice. "We can still fix this." he told me. I felt his hand cross over the table to touch my own. "We can move on from this-"
"No." I told him, pulling my hand away. "I'm done with all of this. I'm not even going to say I'll find someone new because I wont. I'm done with all of this shit. Thanks, Hidan."
I heard a low growl from him. "Fine, if that's what you fucking want, then that's what you'll fucking get." he told me.
I looked over at him. "I said it before, but I'll say it again, fuck you, Hidan!" I cursed him.
He glared at me. "And fuck you too, Alexis!"
Shortly then, the door opened, and Rayven walked in the house. "Mom, I'm home." he said before walking into the living room. He shortly stopped his walking when he saw me and Hidan sitting, waiting for him. He noticed this. "Dad?" he asked, surprised to see his own father home for once. "Hey." he told him.
"Ray, how's it going?"
"Fine." he told him before looking over at me "…What's going on?" he asked.
"Rayven…sit down." I told him.
He looked over at the chair and walked over to it, sitting down and watching us. He stayed quiet and he looked over at Hidan first. "What's wrong with your shoulder? And why does mom have a bruise on her cheek?" he asked Hidan.
We looked at each other, giving one another mixed emotions before looking back at Rayven. "…Your mother and I got into a fight." he told him.
"…" he stayed quiet.
"…Rayven, your father and I agreed that it's not working out between us. I'm taking you and we're going to Konoha."
"But why?" he asked. "Aren't you guys married-"
"The only reason why we stayed together is because your father and I fucked. It was supposed to be no strings attached, but I ended up pregnant. We thought we could stay together and in love, but it seems that Jashin is more important to Hidan than I am." I said.
"Huh?" he asked confused. "What does Jashin-sama has to do with this?"
"Simple, I don't want you to be a Jashin Worshiper. I don't want your spirit to be corrupted by that evil religion. You're a Saito, and as a Saito, Jashinism is strictly forbidden." I told him.
Hidan simply nodded his head. "She's right, Ray. However, even though it will grant you immortality, this bitch right here-"
"Excuse me?!" I cut him off. "What the fuck does he need Jashin for if he's already a damn-"
"No he fucking isn't!" Hidan snapped at me. "He's only HALF of a fucking Saito, meaning that he doesn't have the your full Saito genes." he stated. "But, if he were to become a Jashinist-"
"You're stupid," I called him. "Ray doesn't need Jashin for what he already has-"
"And what if I fucking say no?!" Hidan threaten me. "What if I told you I have plans of my own for him to follow the way of Jashin-sama-"
"THEN I'LL REFUSE FOR YOU TO SEE YOUR SON!"
Both he and Ray were taken back by my sudden snap, "IS THAT WHAT YOU FUCKING WANT, HIDAN?! I CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN THE MOMENT I GO BACK TO KONOHA!"
"DO YOU REALLY FUCKING THINK THAT YOU CAN DENY ME MY RIGHTS TO SEE MY FUCKING SON!?" he asked me
"I CAN AND I WILL!"
"FUCKING TRY IT THEN-"
"SHUUTT UPPPP!"
Hidan and I stopped our argueing and we looked over at Ray with wide eyes. His eyes that were once Hidan's and my own combine were now crimson colored, and his chakra was pouring out darkness.
"I HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE, NOT YOU," he pointed at me before Hidan, "OR YOU!"
We were taken back by his sudden statement, but we stopped our anger and looked back at him. "Ok, Rayven, we'll stop-"
"AND MY NAME ISN'T FUCKING RAYVEN, IT'S RAY!" he yelled.
I stayed quiet, my eyes softening up, "Ok…Ray…"
He watched us, and his mood finally relaxed, and his eyes turned back to their original colors. It was then that Hidan sighed out, and he reached out to Ray, "Come here," he told him.
Ray didn't hesitate to go on next to him, and Hidan looked down at him. "Ray, I already know what you're thinking, you want to stay with the both of us."
Ray nodded, and I turned my head away, the tears now coming back. I continued to listen to the conversation.
"It cant happen, Ray. Your mother and I made up our minds. And I think it's better you go with your mother. She's a good woman, and she's been taking care of you up to this point."
Ray was silent. "…You'll come visit me, right Dad?" he asked.
"Yea, I'll still come visit you, fucker."
"And I still want to follow the ways of Jashin."
Hidan then chuckle and a slight laugh left my lips. This is our lie, and he believes it. I could careless about Ray being Jashin's follower. Ray can follow whatever he wants to follow. We just needed something to fight over. And even though he doesn't deserve the love of his son, who am I to take away the only male figure Ray has looked up to?
"We'll see," he ruffled his hair. "Now go to your mother-"
"Do you still love Mom?" he asked.
I was taken back by the statement, and I heard Hidan stuttered.
"You cant just ask me fucking question like that, fucker-"
"But do you love her?" he asked again.
It was quiet once again, and it took Hidan a few sighs to respond.
"…I will always love your mother." he told him.
Ray was quiet, and I shortly felt his eyes on me. "And do you love him?"
I stayed quiet the longest, before getting up and walking over to where the bags of our stuff were. "Come on, Rayven."
"Mom, do you?"
"I said let's go."
"But, Mom-"
"RAYVEN," I finally snapped. "I DO, NOW LET'S GO!" I said, walking over to the door. Rayven was by my side now, and I opened the door. I looked back at Hidan for the last time.
Sadness was from both of our faces, and it was hard for me to step out the door. I wanted to just drop everything and run back into his arms, tell him let's start a new, tell him how much I do love,
Let's just have our family back.
But I finally did step out the house, my gaze went back a head after I walked out that house. Tears leaking out my eyes and I felt Ray take a hold of my hand.
"Mom, it's ok," he told me.
It was then that I busted into tears, and we kept walking, ignoring the stares of the other villagers as we walked. I had to tell myself several times not to stop and turn back around, and we made it out of the village and into the forest.
4 Years Later
Well we made it. I actually stayed in the house up till a week ago. Before we left, Hidan gave me some money that was enough to get me and Ray a small white house with a willow tree in front. It was good enough to use for the bats once I began to teach Ray his heritage, which also includes summoning and housing bats. I was also able to use the left over money to buy furniture for us as well.
Ray is now enrolled in Konoha's Ninja Academy, and is about to graduate soon…well, more like today. I saw Eternal the first time about a month ago, and she broke down in tears of happiness. I told her about Rayven, and I was able to meet my god kids, her kids.
I never told her about my divorce from Hidan. Even if she's my best friend or not, it's embarrassing for me to tell people things like that. I rather us to be "married" than those knowing the truth. And to be honest, I still want to believe that we're still together as well.
I kept all the jewelry he gave me. And from time to time he comes over to see Ray, he gives me more money, something I told him he can stop doing, but I think this is he way of apologizing to me. He notices that I kept the rings and the necklaces, and I can see he's happy for the most part that I haven't completely thrown away my memories.
We still fight and bicker with each other, which causes Ray to become more distant and more angry at us. It hurts me to see what he has to go through every time his dad is around, but when I do act loving and happy when Hidan comes, it makes us, and I mean all of us, feel that something can change and be fixed between us, causing the family Ray can never have.
Speaking of Ray, I was cooking for us, and it was then that he came home, his hands stuffed in his pockets. I looked over at him and smile once he made his way to me.
"Hey, baby."
"Hey, I'm home." he told me.
"Well no shit." I told him, going back to cook.
He sucked his teeth before walking over to the fridge, and pulling out a carton of cherries.
"What are you doing?" I asked him.
He looked at me. "What do you think I'm doing?"
"Dinner's almost ready."
"Just think of it as an appetizer." he smirked before sitting at the table to eat.
"How was school? Who's your sensei?" I asked him with a smile.
"I'm happy that shit is over," he told me. "But now I'm stuck with Tachi, Mit-something, and the hokage's daughter, Miamaki." he told me.
I pouted. "Her name is Mitsuki."
Tachi and Mitsuki are Eternal and Itachi's children. They have another son as well, but I have yet to meet him.
"Oh, well that." he told me. "And our sensei is Hatake Kakashi."
"Kakashi?" I asked walking over to him with a plate of food. "Isn't he too old for the ninja life style?"
"…Mom, I don't fucking know." he rolled his eyes at me.
My eyes narrow. "Roll your eyes again, Rayven."
He smirked, "That's a threat?"
I waited for him to do it again, but he went to eat his food, shivering lightly. "Ok, woman, calm the fuck down."
I then sighed out and looked out the window, and the only thing heard is Ray's eating. It was shortly then he spoke.
"When is dad coming?" he asked.
"I don't know. When ever he wants to."
"…You know, dad always talks about you." he told me. "In fact, he still loves-"
"Rayven, no, just stop." I told him.
He stayed quiet, and I shortly heard him scoot his chair back. "I'll be in my room…and it's Ray." he told me, walking away.
Sadness over came me once again, and I sighed out to ignore the tears. My whole life is wasted, my son and I have a very then iced relationship, and I'm just…alone.
I cant even blame Hidan for this one. It was all of my emotions' fault. I loved him so much that I still found a way to forgive him the first time he played with me. Now, to this day, I forgave him for the 8 years of hell he put me through, and sadly,
It's all because I still love him.
