They didn't talk much afterwards as they both sat in silence, watching the fireworks. But soon enough, the jubilant atmosphere diminished as the dead of night crept over them.

By that time, Kuina looked completely weary and she would occasionally doze off, so Itachi suggested that they should head home.

The stillness of the night loomed over them once they exited the joyful festival and strolled through the stark path towards his house a few acres away.

Kuina was walking beside him, and she would occasionally spare glances at him as if she had a question in her mind. At long last, she scooted a little closer as she peered up at his face. "What are we?" she uttered out, her brows drawing together.

Itachi glanced at her briefly. "What?"

"What is our relationship?" she reworded her sentence, and instantly, she looked away, warmth spreading across her cheeks. "I-I'm just wondering since we never talked about it."

Itachi gave her words a thought and his brows furrowed. It was true that they had never talked about it but he had always thought it was fairly clear; he knew he hated spouting romantic words but he had thought his actions had already spoken stronger than words.

He had always let her do whatever she wanted with him, he never had his guard up around her, and he always indulged her. He digressed, he even kissed her, saw, touched, and tasted every inch of that pretty velvet skin of hers, and was so close to fucking her. Puzzlingly, she still had such a question in her head?

But Itachi knew her quite well: she was a very detail-oriented woman, and she took customs rather seriously. Perhaps, she wanted a proper title or label for them in their relationship?

He glanced at her oblivious expression as she looked at him with dwindling confidence. A sigh parted his lips. "What is it? Do you need my last name first, for you to finally know what we are?"

She blinked. "W-What?"

He sighed again, shaking his head. "But alas, I am an S-rank missing nin, it is not possible to have that registered. You can use it though, I permit."

She looked confused momentarily but then she was completely flustered. She gulped as she turned away, too shy to utter a single word more.

She didn't speak to him again after that, as she walked beside him, flushed and reserved. But she also seemed to be cleared of the silly question in her head.

Itachi had always found it quite amusing how easily he could make her flustered and he was about to tease her more, but then he suddenly stopped short in his tracks.

His amusement completely died down, and his senses became alert when he sensed a profound amount of Chakra close by. His face darkened as he activated his Sharingan, his expression turned foreboding.
