Disclaimer: I do not own the DN Angel characters.

A/N: After this only an epilogue is left! And then of course the sequel. Now this chapter I am going to aim for it be quite sad and emotional....I'm not too sure about the emotional part, but I'll try.

Chapter 20

"LUNA!!" Luna whirled around, eyes wide and stared as Dark landed right next to her.

"What're you doing here?" Dark didn't answer for a few minutes, while he tried to catch his breath.

"What was Apolla talking about? What're you going to do?" Luna looked away and the wind blew past, causing her hair to blow towards him.

"Dark...I'm glad for everything that you've done for me and Apolla...I really am, but..."

"But what?"

"I'm leaving. I can't take it anymore. I'm not going ruin someone else's fate of being with the one they are meant to be with, only for the sake of my happiness. I just can't do that Dark." Dark looked away and sighed.

"I understand...but I love you."

"I know. And I love you too...but I just can't." Dark pulled her into his arms and held her for a few minutes. Memories of all the women in the past that he had met and slightly liked flashed through his mind. The only one who truly accepted him before he met Luna was Rika....but with Luna he felt....peaceful.

"Luna...just...stay. Please."

"Dark, I can't. If I'm here and I'm not with you, then I'll die. But being miles away would be slightly better. Cause then I wouldn't have to worry about seeing you with another woman." Tears started going down Luna's face. With his finger, Dark brushed the tears away.

"I understand."

"Dark...if you truly love me, you'll let me go." As she pulled out of his arms, he pulled her back only to kiss her one last time.

"Good bye Luna..." He was going to say more, but the words caught in his throat, so they didn't come out.

"Good bye Dark." She turned away and flew up in the air. When she was far out on the horizon, barely even a speck, Dark felt as if a part of his heart was just ripped out...and then he remembered. Not all feelings or senses for your other half were the same. All that time he had been feeling that call, and he never noticed! Until now...and it was too late. Luna was gone.

~5 months later~

Dark watched as Krad rocked the baby to sleep. The child had the same golden blonde hair as Krad, but had the blue eyes like Apolla and they had named him Haru.

"Still no sign of Luna?"

"No..." Dark choked the word out basically and Krad sighed.

"If you can't stand it, try following her."

"I've tried."

"When?"

"Every single night after she left. Somehow she's just vanished. She's...gone..." Dark lowered his head and cried silently.

"She'll come back. After all...she left Shadow." The dog lifted her head off the ground and whined.

"Do you miss her Shadow?" When Dark asked her that, Shadow whimpered and put her head down. Apolla came into the room and put her hands on Krad's shoulders.

"How is he?"

"Which one? Dark or Haru?"

"Both."

"Haru just fell asleep and Dark is the same as usual."

"Oh...depressed."

"You know I can hear you!" Apolla looked at him.

"Don't give up Dark."

"Why don't you come sit in my place for a day, experience what I've experienced and then tell yourself to not give up." Apolla looked at Krad for help, but he only shook his head slowly.

"Dark you can't let yourself waste away. If it helps, I want you to be part of Haru's family." Dark looked at Krad, his eyes had a small familiar sparkle.

"Do you mean that Krad?"

"Of course." Dark nodded and just wrapped his arms around him. Shadow got up and walked over to the window and whined. An image of Luna flashed in Dark's mind. She was smiling, almost looked like she was about to laugh, but it still caused Dark to choke. Krad knew that if Luna did not come back soon, there was a chance that the phantom thief would waste away to nothing but someone who looks like his former self.

~5 years later~

"Uncle Dark! Can you take me to the park?" Dark looked up to see Haru standing in front of him, his big, blue eyes sparkling.

"Sure. Wait, is it all right with your father or mother first?"

"Father said he didn't care. Come on!" Haru grabbed onto Dark's shirt and began pulling him. On the way there, Dark saw tons of couples laughing together, holding hands, and kissing sometimes. He even saw Daisuke, Riku, Satoshi, and Risa in a ice cream shop eating.

"Haru do you want ice cream?"

"Please!"

"All right. My treat." They walked into the shop and Dark ordered vanilla with chocolate sprinkles for Haru and he had a normal vanilla ice cream. Haru had a big smile on his face while he ate the ice cream slowly.

"Dark!" Dark turned to see Daisuke waving at him, so he returned the wave.

"Uncle Dark?"

"Yes?"

"How come I don't have an aunt?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well....how come you aren't married like mommy and daddy?"

"Oh...that...well, the woman I loved left me five years ago."

"Why?"

"I'm not sure exactly. We wer meant to be with each other, that's something you'll understand once you're older."

"Oh...Will you ever see her again?"

"I don't know...I haven't seen her since five months before you were born." Haru looked back down at his ice cream.

"Will you ever fall in love again?"

"Probably not." Haru finally stopped asking questions so he could finish his treat.

~10 years later~ (A/N: Haru is now 15....actually 16.)

"Haru get up! We're going to be late for school!" A girl with blonde hair and golden eyes threw a pillow at her brother, trying to wake him up.

"Mitsuki....go away..."

"NO! Not until you get up!" Mitsuki jumped on Haru's bed, trying in vain to wake him up.

"Go away..."

"No..." Mitsuki thought of something else that might prove more effective. "Fine, if you don't wake up right now, I'll get father to wake you up." At that, Haru bolted straight up. The last time Krad had woken him up, he dumped two buckets of boiling and ice water on him at the same time. It wasn't pleasant.

"Okay, I'm up. Now get out of my room!"

"But we're going to be late!"

"We can fly or have you forgotten that my dear little sister?"

"Oh yeah...Oh hey brother?"

"Whaaaaatt?"

"Are you going to talk to that one girl today? You know the one with brown hair?"

"Hell no! Just because you like her, doesn't mean I like her. I hate her! If you like her so much why don't you ask her out!"

"Haru I'm a girl not a guy!"

"So?"

"Girls don't ask girls out!"

"Pfft...whatever." Haru stood up and stretched. He looked a lot more like Krad now, even had the long bang hanging in front of his eyes. Looking at his calendar, he saw that today was his birthday. 'Can't believe I almost forgot...I wonder if Angelus and Jayden are coming?' Ever since Haru met the gay couple, they had been his two most favorite people to hang around. His mother had told him that a few years ago Jayden adopted a little girl named Shira.

"Come on Haru!" His sister was six years younger than him....meaning she was almost ten years old, since he was now sixteen.

"I'm coming." Going down the stairs, Haru thought about possible ways his parents could've met, since he never really bothered to ask. 'Maybe they met at the bookstore...since they both strike me as people who love books. I should ask them.' Reaching the bottom of the stairs, Haru first saw his dad in his usual spot: sitting at the table reading the newspaper with his glasses sitting on the end of his nose. His mother was in her usual spot as well: in the kitchen. But then someone put their hands around his eyes.

"Guess who?" Haru smiled. He recognized that voice.

"Angelus." Angelus laughed and moved his hands.

"Hey kiddo." Apolla looked up and smiled.

"Angelus did you bring Shira?"

"No. She's sick with a terrible cold right now, and Jay stayed behind to take care of her. Happy birthday Haru. Oh, Krad?"

"Hm?" Krad looked up from the newspaper.

"Where's Dark?"

"Oh...probably at the usual spot."

"I see. Well, I have something to tell him. It's important."

"Like what?"

"Well..."

"Angelus tell us." Krad growled, taking off the glasses, looking extremely dangerous.

"Fine, fine...I believe I might have a lead on Luna." Apolla's face lit up and smiled.

"Really? That's great!" She stopped smiling though when she saw how pale Angelus looked. "What?"

"If the woman really is Luna....then Dark isn't going to be happy?" Apolla gasped, hands flying to her mouth.

"She's not....dead is she?"

"What--no! She's not dead. It's just that....there's another guy living with her." Apolla gasped again, but not like before. It would've been better if Luna was dead...this was worse. If Luna was with another man, how will Dark take it?

"Don't tell him." Apolla and Angelus turned to Krad, who wasn't looking at them.

"What?"

"If you tell him there's a possible chance that this woman is Luna, he'll go chasing after her again and then possibly suffer heartbreak once again." Apolla looked down as well, but then turned to Haru and Mitsuki.

"Okay, off to school with you two." She came into the living room and walked them to school.

~The next town over~ (A/N: About 10 miles away)

A young adult with dark purple hair and silver eyes watched as the other students went into the school building His dark wings were folded neatly on his back, and he sighed. 'I'll never be like them...I'm just too....different.' Spreading his wings, he flew up into the air and decided to just fly today, totally skipping school.

All right review! Okay I lied okay? There will not be an epilogue, so this is the last chapter for Angels. Look on the bright side, the sequel should be up before the end of next week....hopefully. And yes Luna will be back in the sequel and you guys will find out who that guy was at the end of the chapter. Actually, go ahead and guess on who you guys think he is. And it's okay if you don't know who he could be, you'll find out in the sequel. Well good bye for now! See you in the sequel! Oh, which it will be probably called: Cryco. Don't ask about the title, you'll understand it when you read the sequel.
