"You're Nina?" Dark asked looking me up and down.

She nodded and smirked up at him. "What not like what you see?" She pouted.

He bit his lip. "No I like what I see. I just prefer to look at Erika." He said with a smirk.

Nina grinned. "Isn't that sweet. Only known her a day and you're infatuated. The great Phantom Thief, head over heels after one day." She said playfully.

Dark shrugged. "What can I say, I have a thing for girls with purple hair."

'Nina! God dammit, let me out before you embarrass me.'

Sweetheart I'd never embarrass you. I'm just doing what you don't have the guts to do.

'I've known him for one day. Why would I want to start flirting with him?'

Because, I know what goes on inside of your mind. You think he's hot.

'Nina! Let me out.'

Nina sighed and threw her hand around lazily in a circle. "Erika's complaining." She muttered before letting herself go back into the depths of Erika's mind as she went back to normal.

"Sorry about that. Nina could never control herself around attractive men." I stated going to sit on my bed.

"Attractive eh?" Dark mused with a smirk.

I rolled my eyes and waved him off. "Oh don't act like you don't know you're attractive." I stated with a laugh.

He came and sat next to me placing his hand under my chin and made me look up at him. "No, I know it. I just like hearing it coming from a beautiful woman." He purred.

I blushed and bit down on my bottom lip. I never was good with these kind of moments. I'd always make some really stupid comment and make myself look stupid or scare the guy off. I'm as sexual as a sock.

He's flirting! Flirt back god dammit!

My blush deepened at Nina's words.

"Erika." Dark murmured bring our faces closer again.

My eyes widened slightly as I watched his slip close before he pressed his lips to my cheek.

His eyes opened again and he smirked playfully at me.

"Flirt." I muttered with a small smile.

He shrugged and flinched. "Ow." He muttered.

My eyes widened in realisation. "Your back!" I exclaimed jumping from my bed and walking over to my desk to grab the cream and bandages.

I situated myself behind Dark. "Could you take your shirt off for me please?" I asked.

He turned his head so that he was looking over his shoulder and smirked at me. "Seeing my topless three times in under 24 hours. Aren't you lucky." He murmured as he pulled it over his head. He flinched as he pulled at the wound and turned around to look at the gash. From his position he probably couldn't see it very well but I'm certain he saw the blood that had stained the bandage.

I rolled my eyes but my blush failed me. Pulling the bandage off I noticed that the red around his gash wasn't as angry anymore. It still looked quite bad but it had gotten a lot better. I lathered the cream into my fingers and began to softly rub it into his skin.

He sighed in content and hung his head.

"Sorry." I muttered, thinking I had hurt him.

He shook his head and groaned. "No it doesn't hurt."

I blushed and continued to rub the cream into his shoulder until it was an even glossy sheen across his back. Placing a fresh bandage across his shoulder I stood from my spot behind him and jumped down from my bed until I was sitting in front of him. "Could you roll your pant leg up? I want to check on your leg as well." I said.

He nodded and leaned down to roll up the pants on his right leg. Once that was done he looked at me seeming we were now eye to eye and smirked.

Blushing I averted my eyes to his leg to see it was badly bruised around his ankle. "This'll need a bandage as well." I murmured mainly to myself as I began to wrap it up gently.

"You know what would make this even better?" He asked leaning back on his arm.

"What?" I asked looking up at him once I was done.

He glanced down at me and smirked with a glint of playfulness in his eyes. "If you were in a nurse outfit."

I felt the blush grow throughout my entire face until I was sure I was as red as a tomato. "Not only are you a flirt but you're a perv too." I said with a nervous chuckle.

He laughed and shook his head lowly at me as a sincere smile grew across his lips.

"So." I started jumping up from my position on the floor. "What would you like to do today? We can't really do much what with you being injured but there's bound to be something to do around here." I ended in a mutter looking around my room.

He stood from his position on my bed so that he was towering over me and he smirked. "I can think of two things I'd like to do with you." He stated.

I blushed and lightly pushed his face away. "Flirt."

He chuckled. "I didn't mean anything pervy or flirty by that Kitten. I simply meant either talking or playing a game." His smirk grew slightly at the end.

My blush darkened and I cross my arms with a pout. "Still a perv." I muttered.

He laughed again and took my small hand in his large one. "Why don't you take me on a tour of the house I'll be staying in for the time being?" He suggested softly, his smirk and flirty/pervy facade gone.

I nodded and began to lead him around the house, pointing out various rooms and things. The tour took us at least 45 minutes seeming how large this house was.

"This house is far too big for just one person to live here." Dark muttered to himself as he looked around the large library we were standing in.

I shrugged. "Wasn't always just me. Mum and dad used to live here as well, along with my older brother Siato who is away for college in the States." I explained.

"How old are you Erika?" Dark asked looking down at me.

"Seventeen in two weeks." I stated proudly.

He hummed and took my hand again, leading us out of the library.

"How about you Dark?" I asked.

"Eighteen next month." He said absent minded as he looked around

I nodded even though I knew he couldn't see me.

Only a year a part. How perfect. Nina said with a giggle.

'What do you mean how perfect?' I asked curiously.

You really are dim aren't you? She sighed.

'What do you mean Nina?' I asked agitated.

The silence that answered me meant she was now in the darkest crevice of my mind, hiding away so that I could try to figure it out for myself. I let out a sigh and continued to let Dark lead me around the house until he found what he was looking for. The stairs that lead to the lounge area and kitchen.

Dark took a seat on the couch and pulled me down next to him so that I was resting against his side. His arm went around my shoulders, and out of instinct I laid my head against his chest.

"Has Nina come back to play has she?" Dark asked.

I shook my head. "She's hiding away from me so that I can try and figure something out for myself." I muttered.

"Figure out what?" He asked.

I shrugged absent minded. "No idea. That's what she wants me to figure out."

He tightened his hold around me and stayed silent.

Most of the day was spent like this, just he and I sitting around in different rooms, either talking or in a comfortable silent.

I only made a light dinner that night, seeming we'd had such a large breakfast and lunch. Once we'd finished eating I washed up while Dark dried and every now and again he'd make some silly statement which would make us both shake with laughter.

"You know Dark, you're really not as bad as they all make you out to be." I muttered sleepily from my spot beside him in the bed.

He chuckled. "Really? Well thanks Erika. That means a lot coming from you." He said.

I smiled softly and let my eyes droop close as sleep overtook me.
