Hey guys! Sorry for not updating in quite a while, school's just started back up and I've been hella busy.
Thank you to everyone that's reviewed, you're all awesome and I love you :)

I don't own D N Angel or any6 of its characters blah blah blah.

Enjoy!

"Erika." A voice called.

I looked around in confusion, trying to find the source of the voice. From the corner of my eye I saw someone appear. Turning to face them I saw that it was Nina.

"Hi Nina." I said waving.

She smiled sadly at me. "Unfortunately my dear, I mightn't be with you for much longer." She said.

I raised my eyebrow and walked over to her. "What do you mean?" I asked.

"Well you've found Dark. You have strong feelings for him and from what I've seen he also has feelings for you. But it won't be until he can finally admit those feelings to you will I leave." She explained.

"So if Dark admits he has feelings for me, you'll be gone?" I asked.

She nodded sadly. "That's the sure fire way to get rid of me. Fall in love." She shrugged.

"But I'm not in love. Sure I like him I don't love him though." I stated crossing my arms.

She chuckled and tussled my hair. "You always were dim when it came to this kind of stuff Erika." She said.

I scoffed. "I am not dim!" I snapped. "I like him. I'm not in love with him."

"Yet." She said pointing a finger at me. "But with the way you're going it won't take much longer." She sighed.

I sighed and leaned against her. "But I don't want you to go." I muttered as I felt the tears begin to flow.

She laughed softly and wrapped her arms around me. "I dot want to go either my dear but I have too. Make sure you have a baby girl when you and Dark finally have kids." She said as she began to fade away.

"Nina?" I called out looking around. "Nina!"

"Erika. Erika wake up." Dark said softly shaking me.

My eyes snapped open and I sat up. "What happened?" I asked.

"You were crying in your sleep." He said concern evident in his voice.

I reached up and touched my cheek to feel that I had in fact been crying. Sighing I wiped away the stray tears and laid back down. "I'm fine." I muttered.

"Bad dream?" He asked.

I shrugged. "Not really, just sad is all." I stated.

He laid back down beside me and began to trace circles on my hip bone. "Want to talk about it?" He asked kindly.

I shook my head and gave him a small smile. "It's fine Dark. Honest."

He gave me a look to let me know he didn't believe me but dropped it anyway. "How bout you stay there and I'll make us some food." He offered pushing himself off the bed.

I nodded and rolled onto my side. "Thanks Dark." I smiled.

He smiled back and leaned down to press a kiss to my forehead before walking out of my room.

Sighing I gripped at the sheets in front of me.

Don't dwell on it too much Erika. You're going to be okay without me. Plus I'm not going anywhere yet.

'I know Nina, I'm just. I'm really going to miss you. I mean you're the only company I've had over all these years. You've been with me as long as I can remember. It's going to be weird not having your voice inside my had anymore.'

Can you let me out once you and Dark have finished eating? I'd like to speak with him. And don't listen in cause I'll know if you are.

'Yeah, okay.'

I placed a hand to my forehead and let out a sigh before sitting up and hanging my legs off the side of the bed.

"Dinner is served!" Dark called happily bringing in two trays of Beef Ravioli with two glasses of water.

I smiled brightly. "You remembered my favourite food." I said happily.

He nodded and continued to carry the tray out into my balcony. "Come on, this could be like an at home date." He said sending me a smile over his shoulder.

I blushed and followed him outside and took a seat at the table.

Dark placed a plate in front of me as well as a cup before sitting across from me. "So, how am I doing so far?" He asked.

I smiled over at him. "Pretty damn good. Gotta admit." I said with a laugh.

He chuckled and began to eat.

We'd finished eating within half an hour and decided to stay out on the balcony to look at the stars. And that was his idea, not mine.

Hate to ruin your date but I still need to have a chat with him.

I sighed. "Dark."

He looked over to me and smiled. "What's up?" He asked.

"Nina wants to talk to you about something." I said.

He raise his eyebrow but nodded.

'Let me out as soon as you're done Nina.'

Promise.

I sighed again and slowly let Nina take control and made sure I was hidden away so that I couldn't listen in.

"Hello Dark." Nina said crossing one leg over the other.

He nodded at her. "Nina."

"Listen, the reason I needed to talk to you is because I won't be around with Erika much longer." She said.

Dark looked at her in confusion. "Why?" He asked.

She sighed and ran a hand through her long black hair. "Because she's beginning to fall in love. And once that person reciprocates those feelings I'll no longer be there." She explained.

Dark's brows furrowed. "Who is she falling in love with?" He asked.

Nina gave him a disbelieving look. Sighing she shook her head. "You're both as dim as each other." She muttered. "Anyway. I just need to know that once I'm gone you'll look after her. She'll be all alone when I'm gone and she's going to need somebody to be there for her. Can you do that for me?" She asked.

His eyes went wide. "Uh, sure. Of course I can." He said with a nod.

She nodded and smiled kindly. "Thank you Dark. You're a lucky man." She stated. "Don't tell Erika what we spoke about please. You can someday and you'll know when to as well. But as of right now, speak nothing of it to her." She said before she slowly let Erika take control again.

I sighed and stretched myself out. "So what did she need to talk to you about?" I asked looking over to him.

He shook his head. "She just asked me a few questions that she's been wanting to know about me being a thief." He shrugged.

I nodded and stood from my seat grabbing my cup and plate, placing them on top if Dark's an began to carry them inside.

"What are you doing?" He asked following after me.

"Going to wash up." I said descending the stairs.

Dark took the plates from me and shook his head. "Oh no you're not. We're still on our date. I'll be doing the washing up." He stated.

I pouted at him. "But you've already done so much for me today." I said softly.

He watched my face and he looked like he was about to cave but instead he leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to my lips. "That's not going to work on me." He smirked and continued down the stairs.

I sighed and followed after him. "I'm drying though." I said going to grab a tea towel from the cupboard.

Dark sighed and allowed me to do so, knowing there was no use in arguing about it.

Once everything was put away we ventured back to my room to sit out on the balcony again.

Dark had been kind of quiet since Nina spoke to him and it was starting to worry me.

"Dark?" I asked.

He hummed not looking away from the night sky.

"Are you okay?" I asked. "You've been sorta quiet since Nina spoke to you."

He glanced over to me and smiled. "I'm fine. Just thinking." He said.

I nodded and dropped it, knowing he'd talk about it if he wanted too. Standing from my seat I stretched myself out. "I'm going for a shower." I stated.

Dark turned and smirked at me. "Can I join?" He asked a playful glint in his eyes.

I rolled my eyes with a smile. "And he's back." I muttered making my way inside to grab my pj's and towel and headed to the shower.

When I got out I saw that Dark was already in bed in just his boxers. Blushing at the sight I made my way over and crawled in next to him.

His eyes were closed but he smiled softly and leaned over to press a kiss to my forehead. His arm wrapped itself around my waist and brought me closer to him.

Leaning up I pressed a soft kiss to his lips and just as I was about to pull away he pulled me closer and deepened the kiss, tangling his fingers in my hair.

I smirked into the kiss and pulled away to press a gentle kiss to his lips then bury my head in his chest.

Dark let out a soft sigh and he tucked my head under his chin. "Night Kitten." He murmured.

"Night Dark."
