A/N: Hi folks, and welcome back! I had a big struggle with this story. I changed the rating to NC-17 because of the next chapter, posted at the same time as this one. If you don't like to read smut, skip ch. 7, it won't affect the plot. Anyway, thanks for your wonderful reviews, and for encouraging me to write more. Special thanks go to Kim, the Manipulative Little Monster, because is her fault that I'm writing this... ^_^
Also, special thanks to those of you who reviewed Ch. 5: Dara (smut in separate chapter so you can skip it and continue reading...), Isis (I hope you like this), Candi (let me know what you think of the next chapter) and Geldman (Thanks!)

And now, the story.
"What is your name?"
A pang of pain came over Darkness heart. Of all the questions she could ask, she had to ask the one he could not give the answer to, not unless he was willing to lose her forever.
Not knowing what to say, he looked into her eyes, and before he realized what he was doing, he said, "My name is Dar..."
Not noticing his hesitation, she gave him a radiant smile and said, "I finally now your name, Dar. Please tell me, how did you find me?"
Deciding that a half-truth was better than a lie, he answered, "I saw the goblin carrying you. As soon as he left you, I took you here, where I knew you'd be safe."
Putting her hand on top of his, she said, "Thank you. I knew you were a good friend."
Not believing what she was doing, Darkness looked intently at her eyes as soon as he felt her hand touch his.
Resisting the string impulse that wanted to run his fingers through her hair, he took her hand in his saying, "Come, Milady. You must be famished."
Leading her outside his bedchambers, one of his hands still holding one of hers, they arrived into another room, which could only be described as magnificent. The tapestries and furniture were not only expensive, but they were tastefully arranged as well.
The enormous dining room table was presented with all sorts of food imaginable. Unlike the one he used to tempt Lily, the food in this one had its normal colors and contained no magic within them.
Stopping at one of the ends of the table, Darkness pulled a chair for Light to sit on. Once this was done, Darkness took his seat next to her at the head of the table. Taking the pitcher full of wine, he served himself and then filled Light's goblet as well.
Light was slightly nervous; this was the first time she was separated from the unicorns since she was twelve. But it felt good, being able to carry a conversation without riddles or run-arounds like fairies regularly like to do.
She was so nervous, she could not even recall what she ate, her plate magically filled with food that curiously turned to be among her favorites.
After dinner was over, they talked a bit more, and music seemed to fill the air. It was a hunting melody, beautiful, yet sad, but it was the kind of music that begged to be danced to.
Darkness looked curiously at Light, ands asked, "Would you like to dance?"
Light nodded and stood up, her hand being guided to the middle of the room. Giving Light a quasi-nervous look, he put one hand on her waist and the other one laced with hers.
They started dancing at the rhythm of the music, making them forget where they were. As time passed, they grew accustomed to each other, so their dance pattern changed and turned more and more complicated.
Darkness kept dancing with Light, twirling her around from time to time, until they could not dance anymore. He just stood there, holding her close, gaze locked with hers.
He took a lock of her hair that had gone wild from their dancing, putting it back behind her ear. His hand lingered on the side of her face, caressing her cheek softly with his thumb.
Light closed her eyes as she felt the soft caress of his hand on her face, her head leaning towards it as a smile spread on her lips, her hand rising to meet his.
She knew she shouldn't allow this, but it felt so right. She was momentarily surprised when she felt his lips upon hers, very gentle, almost shyly. She put her arms around his neck and kissed him back.
As she was kissing him, Light could feel a burning fire growing inside her, her heart was beating wildly, blood rushing to her ears.
He could not believe this was happening. She looked so beautiful, eyes closed leaning against his hand, her hand touching his. He was unable to keep his restraint any longer.
He gently pressed his lips against hers, not wanting to frighten her. To his surprise, she responded by kissing him back and putting her arms around his neck. This was what he had dreamed about all this years.
Still kissing her, he took her in his arms and walked back to his bedchambers.
This time he would not let her go. She was his, and he was going
to make sure of it.
