A/N- Hey all, thanks for your reviews and sorry about the wait...

Disclaimer- Don't own DNA, and never will...so no worries, this is just for fun!


Anyway, here's the notes-


'Thoughts/Daisuke&Riku'


'< i>Thoughts/Dark&Night'


Enjoy!!


The air was cold that night, making a dark figure sitting on a roof shiver, “he should be here any second now…are you ready for this Riku and are you sure you want to go through with this?”


Night wanted to be sure, after Riku had gotten home that afternoon, they had started coming up with ways to get Dark and Daisuke out to the place in that book. But Night didn’t want Riku to have any doubts about this, after all, Night was determined to get together with Dark this time around and she was willing to die for that cause.


‘Yes Night…I am, so don’t worry, we’re in this together…oh! I think that’s him now, better get ready,’ glancing at the large clock that sat a few feet away, Night saw Dark’s black wings in the sky and knew that he would be there any moment now.


Meanwhile, listening to Wiz’s flapping wings and the wind as it blew against him, Dark surveyed his surroundings as he looked for any sign of someone having been there before.


‘Calm down Dark…she’ll be here, she has to be, after all, she did get to the angel’s tear necklace before us so there’s a good chance that she’s already here. So no worries…besides, the one I’d be worried about is Satoshi and Krad…there’s no doubt in my mind that they aren’t around here as well…’


A grim look crossed Dark’s face as he dodged a beam of light from the cops surveillance team, “I suppose Dai, but I just have this weird feeling that I’m being watched…but I can’t pinpoint from where exactly…ah, there it is.” Sighting their target several feet below, Dark began to circle, slowly descending towards it, never noticing the second pair of wings that had appeared off to his side.


Landing about a foot and a half from their target, a weathervane relic from the Middle Ages, Dark slipped forewords soundlessly avoiding the motion activated traps that were set up about him.


Hearing a light ‘clack’ behind him, Dark froze keeping his ears open for any sounds and that’s when he heard the distinct sound of flapping wings, his eyes going wide Dark felt his entire body tense as he whirled about only freeze a second time that night.


He had expected to see Krad standing before him but he wasn’t disappointed with what greeted his eyes instead. There she stood, not four feet away, her wings spread wide behind her and a slight smirk could be seen on her rosy lips.


“Hello Dark…long time no see, I was wondering when you’d show again and if you’re wondering…the commander and Krad aren’t going to show up, in fact, no one but you and I know about this.” Stretching her back, Night strode towards Dark, taking note on how his body seemed to tremble at her approach. It nearly made her want to start crying and fling her self into his arms, but she held back, knowing that right now…Dark couldn’t care less about who she really was.


‘You know that’s not true Night, quit putting yourself down…even if he doesn’t remember you, he still cares…’ Night sighed, she knew Riku was right, ‘I know…it’s just so hard…I don’t want to loose him again…’


Licking his suddenly dry lips, Dark watched as Night stretched and approached him, he struggled to remember what she had said and when he finally did, his eyes narrowed suspiciously.


“So the lights and these motion sensors are just you?” He watched as Night nodded her head as she reached into one of her pockets, pulling out a white card, his warning card. “I see…so, I take it you wanted to talk to me then…what about?”


Laughing lightly, Night threw the card at Dark and smiled when he caught it easily, “I’d actually call it more along the lines of a date, if you wouldn’t mind of course…” seeing the surprise flash through Dark’s eyes before it was quickly replaced with interest, Night knew that he had accepted her proposal.


‘Shit! She just asked you out, didn’t she…damn…what are you going to do Dark?’ A soft smile curved Dark’s lips as he took the initiative and approached Night, ‘oblige her of course, we might just be able to use this to our advantage Dai, she has to know at least something about the curse if she knew about Krad. Also, I have been waiting for a moment like this and I’m not going to look a gift horse in the mouth…so pay close attention, this might just educate you a little.’


Finally reaching Night, Dark appraised her closely still unable to believe anyone could be so beautiful in his eyes, Night didn’t miss his appraising look and decided that she would take the next step and get this underway. After all, they were quickly running out of time and soon, Krad and his tamer would figure out her little ruse and be here, ‘we need to move this party somewhere else.’


Reaching out, Night gripped Dark’s wrist and took off at a run, dragging him along as she leapt off the building and her wings spread wide. At her side Dark’s wings sprouted as well and they flapped once, his feather’s began to mix in with her own making Night smirk at the almost invisible blush that crossed Dark’s cheeks.


They flew for several minutes before finally landing near the sea and an old abandoned lighthouse that held some rather strange myths about it, the air whipped about them as they set down, releasing Dark’s wrist Night walked towards the lighthouse as her wings folded at her back.


‘It’s time…we have to tell him Riku, I have been thinking about it for a while and he needs to know the whole truth…what do you think?’ Night bent down and ran her fingers over the long grass at her feet, it felt rough as her fingers slipped over it, ‘as much as I am afraid to admit it, you’re right...but it’s not only Dark that needs to know, but Daisuke as well, I just hope they accept us both.’ ‘Me too…’


Dark could only watch as Night walked away and started touching the grass that surrounded them, running a hand through his hair nervously, Dark slowly approached Night trying to figure out just what he should say. But just as he opened his mouth to say something, Night stood and turned to face him, her eyes were dark with emotions that he found confusing.


“As you have probably guessed already, I am part of the curse that binds you and Krad, but there is something else you and your tamer need to know.” Closing her eyes, Night allowed her body to revert to that of Riku’s but her wings still remained at her back, “I am Night’s tamer Dark…just as I know,” rubbing her arm, Riku blushed as she looked away, “Daisuke is yours.”


Dark felt his jaw drop as both he and Daisuke screamed in unison, “Riku?!” Jumping at the loudness of their combined scream, Riku let Night take over again while flashing them a sheepish smile, trusting the rest of the explanations to Night.


Opening her eyes, Night flashed Dark a sly smile before she moved closer to where her face was millimeters from his and she could feel his breath upon her cheeks, “yes…Riku Harada is my tamer just as we know that Daisuke Niwa is yours. There is more to this story though…Krad remembers it all, just as I myself do, but you Dark…you have forgotten it all, forgotten me. Why Dark…you promised me, I kept my promise…but why haven’t you kept yours?”


Reaching out a shaking hand, Night ran her quivering fingers over Dark’s cheek, her eyes started to fill with tears as her heart lurched in her chest. Oh how she wanted to just burry herself within Dark’s comforting embrace, but she knew that she couldn’t…after all, he didn’t know her anymore…let alone…love her.


At this thought, Night pulled away from Dark quickly and rubbed her eyes, brushing her tears away angrily. “But never mind that…I am here to offer you a proposition Dark.”


Dark didn’t know what to think as he stared unbelieving at Night, her words echoing in his mind, ‘you promised me, I kept my promise…why haven’t you kept yours?’ “What…promise, please…tell me…” watching Night’s eyes darken again in what looked to be remembered pain, Dark felt his chest constrict as his heart beat increased…something bad had happened…he just knew it.


Closing her eyes, Night flapped her wings once before she sat down and motioned for Dark to do the same, giving her a confused and worried look, Dark sat down at her side.


“It happened long ago Dark…are you sure you want to know, it isn’t something that I’d like to bring up again…but if I must, I will…” Night gave Dark a serious look as her eyes softened slightly, Dark could feel a blush start to burn his cheeks as he realized what that look in her eyes was, it was love.


“I have a right to know…please tell me…” Dark kept his voice soft, trying his best to sound certain of himself, but after seeing what was in Night’s eyes he didn’t want to sound weak in front of her.


“Alright then…but don’t do anything rash. I swore to you the day that I…” gulping down her own nausea, Night looked up at the sky above them, “died, that I would find a way back to you, that we would be together again. You see, I loved you Dark…just as I still do now, but after seeing what Krad tried to do, I couldn’t let you die.”


Dark’s eyes blew wide as he looked at Night, ‘she…she loves you Dark…oh god, she died? What the hell happened that could have forced her to such extremes?’ ‘Dai…didn’t you hear her…it was Krad. He tried to do something and she ended up loosing her life…which means that I was meant to die…not her.’ “Why…” Dark had wanted to say more, but that was all he seemed to be able to push past his rapidly paling lips.


Closing her eyes, Night shook her head ruefully she had been expecting a reply like this, “you had won…fair and square, but Krad refused to submit defeat and tried to attack you from behind, seeing this I jumped in the way…it was all I could do to save you at the time…but now, it seems that I have damned us both to an eternity of separation and pain.”


Turning to look at Dark, Night reached out a hand and gently brushed her fingers through his bangs, she couldn’t help herself…she wanted to touch him and be with him so badly. ‘Quit it Night…if you want to touch him then by all means do it already…if you don’t I’ll do it for you!’


Tensing her whole body, Night could just imagine what Riku would do if she took over, feeling her face flush Night looked away but hearing Dark clear his throat at her side she couldn’t help but look back.


His eyes were dark with something that Night knew all to well, love. Gulping, Night could only watch as Dark cupped her cheek and ran his thumb in circles across her skin, “what about you…how did you get involved in all this?”


Yearning to just sink into Dark’s touch, Night glanced away unable to look him in the face, but what happened next shocked both her and Dark.


Having had enough of Night pussy footing around, Riku decided that a little push was in order, concentrating hard Riku took a hold of their form long enough to have her wrap her arms about Dark and burrow into his chest.


Night felt her face turn red as Dark’s arms slipped about her shoulders, holding her in a loose but gentle embrace, ‘Riku!! How could you?!’ ‘Hah, you deserved it Night, you need to just follow what you feel…you did before, don’t think you can just put it off any longer. You care about him, so just get on with it already!’


Cursing under her breath Night admitted to herself that Riku was right and if she ever wanted to be happy then she would have to take a chance, ‘nows a better time than any…’


Pulling back to look up at Dark, Night felt tears prickling in her eyes, sighing, she used her legs to push herself up so that she was level with Dark. Giving him a soft look, Night leaned forewords and when she was a hairs breath from touching his lips she stopped, “I fell in love.”
