“Well, then Shadow, you know what I say as far as that is concerned?”

“What do you say to that Serenity?”

She smiled and looked at him and takes off her headband and looks at him. “As of this moment, I am a freelancer to this squad, as for my ninja profession, I quit.”

He blinks a few times and looks at her “What ar-” He blinked again being pushed to the gorund and getting cut off when Serenity pushed her lips against his and blushed badly looking at her for a few seconds before closing his eyes but breaking the kiss slowly.

“Shadow.. I don’t care what the emperor says about it. I love you.. I don’t want to watch you be with other people and me be alone.. I can’t do that anymore..”

He blushed again looking at her, did she truly mean it? There was only one way to find out, “I know, and I feel the same.. I love you Serenity I have since I first met you on our first mission. That’s why I have you that necklace.” Hands her the headbnd she threw.

“Shadow..”

“Serenity, we can keep it a secret.”
