She had finally escaped her village and the forest. It had become dark, perfect. The moon was almost invisible and the sky quite dark. Her eyes closed as she continued running til she made her way to where she first met Dark link.
"Dark-kun! Dark-Kun, Where are you!?"

Dark was walking through the field as he usually did these past few nights. A bad run-in with Link had soured his mood two nights ago, but this night was especially black and void of most light. It felt good again.
As he approached one of his usual marks, he heard a voice calling for him. Even if he hadn't recognized her tone, there was only one person who elaborated on his name like that. Quickening his pace ever so slightly he continued towards her with a face that matched his mood: curious as to why now, after so many nights, she was looking for him.

Once her eyes fell upon his figure, she wrapped her arms around him, tears falling. She had missed him, after so long she hadn't seen him. Her eyes closed tightly as held to him.
"you left!You just left..why?"

Dark was so startled that he froze. He had not expected such an emotional response. His fractured heart began to hurt. She seemed so sad. Since he had existed most of his life alone in darkness, Dark simply hadn't known that he could hurt someone simply by not seeing them.
"What...what do you mean I left?"

She felt her heart being torn as she hugged to him. She released and turned, dropping to her knees. She couldn't help but cry.
"I couldn't find you..Then I heard you were busy with some person named Ember!"
She wiped tears as the fell down her cheeks rapidly.

Dark blinked in confusion. What did Ember have to do with Ilia's pain? And how did Ilia even know her?
"I do not understand. Is Ember your enemy? Do you know the people hunting her? Was it wrong for me to help her?"
Dark was not acting like himself, but then Ilia usually had that effect on him. He had great difficulty being confident or sinister in her presence.

She didn't know what to say. She was jealous. She didn't want Dark to be with another. She hated the even thought.
"Do you love her?"
Her eyes grew soft as she asked this, turning her head to look at him. Her eyes pleaded him to say no.

Dark thought for a moment about the strange question, not reading the look in her eyes. He wasn't really sure that he was capable of love. And while his relationship with Ember was a strange one, he doubted love was involved. He gave a sad little chucked and faced Ilia.
"A shadow like me knows little of love. That's more of what Link is. She confuses me, to be sure, but I have never hugged her or given her flowers or any other sign of love that I know of."
He looked at Ilia curiously, wondering why she chose to ask such a question.

She leaned back, reaching up to her. She pulled him down and kissed a hand. She giggled softly, quite happy now. Her mood changed completely.
"Really, Darkie-chan? So, you still...us.."
She blushed, biting her lower lip. her eyelids dropped as she layed there, feeling much better.

Dark stared at her, still not quite comprehending what had just occurred. Still, she seemed to be relieved now, so he sat down beside her, leaning against the tree next to her.
"You are not so easy to forget Ilia."

She smiled cheerfully and sat beside him, entwining their fingers. She giggled and kissed his cheek. She parted her lips as her lips moved to his ear.
"Thank you...For everything.."

Dark's face became pleasantly neutral, something close to a genuine smile. He gave her hand a gentle squeeze.
"I don't know exactly what I did, but I am glad you are happy now."

"You are here..next to me...I like you..alot, Dark-kun.."
She closed her eyes, resting her head against his shoulder.

"I like you too, Ilia."
And it was true. As a shadow, Dark wasn't supposed to be able to like anything. He was the evil that had been cast from Link's heart. Yet here he was with a girl, and he liked her.
Was it because of Link's courage and goodness that even his shadow could feel these things? Had Dark's experiences in this world helped him to grow? Or was it because of Ilia and the strange power she seemed to have over him.
Dark had no answers, and as he felt Ilia breathing as she lay there on his shoulder, he found himself caring about those answers less and less.

She inhaled deeply, blushing. He had never said that much, or that she could remember. She wanted him to stay beside her for as long as they possibly could. She enjoyed his presence.
"I felt..I felt alone when you were gone..It was strange.. I never felt so much pain..I think I want to be by your side forever.."
