Dark relaxed, and he felt his senses open up as they never had before. He could feel the emotions from Ilia's heart. There was love there. It felt bright and painful to him, but he was happy it was there.
...but there was something else. A darkness, like a shadow, creeping towards her. It had not yet touched her heart. It was puzzling. At first, Dark wondered if it was part of himself. But he did not feel like he was inside Ilia.
He pushed the worries aside. For the moment, he simply wanted to hold Ilia forever.

She bit her lower lip, rolling over and off of him. She smiled, getting off the bed. She was blushing. Her insides burned as her heart hitting against her chest. It hurt, her whole body.

"Ilia? What...?"
Dark tried to move but found he could not. His body was still extremely week. He could feel her pain, and it tore at him. He blocked it out so as not to be overwhelmed.
"What's wrong?"

"Oh? Nothing...Just cramps..Or..something.."
She blushed, feeling nervous. She was always a bad liar, always being one of good intentions.

Dark stared at her for barely a moment before his gaze fell to the floor.
"...you're lying."

She gasped, covering her mouth.
"N..No..I...Umm...Ganondorf placed a curse upon me...Or..something..He wants to turn me into a shadow.."

"...I see..."
Dark closed his eyes, and sorrow began to overwhelm him.

"Didn't you just say that hate enters your heart when you are near me? That it was comforting and was not hurting you?"
Dark did not speak with a voice of bitterness or accusation. He simply whispered his words in a frightened voice.

"I...I guess...But it doesn't matter...I love you and I refuse to leave you because of this...I don't care if I fall into eternal darkness...I want to be with you.."
She stood up, tears falling. She had beed quite emotional lately, trying not to be at the same time.

Dark felt a sensation of being torn in two. He was deeply moved by Ilia's words and her feelings. But plunging into an eternal darkness? How could he possibly be expected to accept something like that from her? He cared about her a great deal, not just out of his own selfish desire to be with her either.
"If you...truly plunge into the eternal darkness...then we could no longer be together."
Dark remembered, if only vaguely, what it felt to leave that darkness. There was no light, no hope, and no sense of self. It was worse then dying. He would sooner slay Ganondorf himself then see such an evil fate claim Ilia's heart.

"Then how can you love me? How can you care? Why?"
She was so confused. What would she do without him? What about Link. She didn't know what to think.

Dark gave a bitter chuckle.
"How can I care? Why do I love you? Do you really expect me to know these things? Until I met you, I didn't think I could care about someone, much less love them. How could I possibly know enough to explain it when I am just now beginning to feel it. You've had your whole life to feel these emotions, Ilia. How long was it before you could explain them?"

She closed her eyes, sitting back down and cuddling into him. Her arms wrapped around him. She couldn't answer. Her thoughts were full of hate. Why couldn't she feel as much love anymore. it was fading.

Dark sat in silence, keeping an arm around her as she sat close to him. Something dark was happening inside her. He feared greatly for what it might be, and wondered if his being close to her was making it worse. Still, he could not bring himself to tear away from her grasp.
