The kiss which lasted what seemed a lifetime between the two was so passionate that it felt magical. Marianna closed her eyes pulling D closer to her as the moon shined on them. D placed his hands on her shoulders warming Marianna. D's kiss was affectionate and warm, it was hard to beleive this was the same person she was traveling with. Marianna kissed D harder surprising him, causing him to break off. "Wow." Marianna said quietly.

D looked in her glistening violet eyes and kissed her again more passionately than before. Expressing the feelings inside him warming his heart and flowing throughout his body. Moving his hands from her shoulders to her back D embraces her bring her closer. The kiss breaks and the two hold eachother. "I love you." D whispers.

"I love you to." Marianna answers.

"But I am also scared. I have lived a dark life for so long and I have sworn my life to a mission. I feared love couldn't be in my life. That in my life it would only be fantasy."

Marianna pushes D back and looks deep in his eyes and asks. "Is this fantasy?" Kissing D surprising him then drawn in. D had never felt passion like this before and to him it felt phenomenal. Breaking the kiss she asks, "Well?"

"No. It was nowhere near fantasy."

"So what do you fear?"

D breaks the embrace and turns his back on her."My past."

"Tell me." She ask coming to his side.

D sighs and begins to tell her his life from the begining. He talk to her about his parents and why he was a Vampeal. How those who lived in darkness began to fall into corruption. How D felt it was his duty to put them where they belong. The life D lead was dark and dreary. Many knew of D and would do anything to stop him even attack those he cared for. This had not become a fear for him because D had always kept to himself. The idea of a relationship with anybody never crossed his mind. Now that one may begin those after him will attack her and her family.

Marianna was astonished hearing who D was. After hearing his tale many questions were answered. Questions of his skill, the mystery of his lonely attitude, and the knowledge of his power. Placing her hands on the sides of D's face and making him look at her. "You have nothing to fear. I like you am a Vampeal and you have taught me how to control my powers. I can fend for myself now and if I must, I can protect you." Marianna said before she kissed him.

D relaxed and knew she was right. She could protect him if she wished and she had defeated the werewolf. She was the radiant woman that D saw so much in Marianna. He saw how intelligent she was, how brave and strong. Also how warm and beautiful she is."Thank you." D said kissing her back.

The two rode on ready to bring Marianna home. D did not know where their relationship would take them but he did know where his heart belonged. This ride was the most enjoyable. The two had talked more than ever before. Marianna was delighted at the conversation than the cold silence. Marianna didn't have much to talk about but she did listen to D with great enthusiasum.

Before they both knew what had happened night crept up on them and they had to make their final stop. The two stoped in front of an old abandoned church. D placed the horse in a stable near by. Then walked in the church where Marianna stood next to a candle lit table with cheese and bread on it. "Where did this come from?"

"I found it in a cupboard still well preserved." Marianna replied cutting some bread and cheese for D. Though the dinner was small it was very enjoyable. D found comfortable cushion where he and Marianna laid on. Marianna cuddled close to Ds chest where she fell asleep quickly. D placed an arm around her then he soon fell asleep himself.
