"I don't want to hear anymore."

Hei lay on his bed while thinking about Amber's last words. They were so soft and bitter. They broke his heart into a million pieces. He had never gotten the chance to explain to her the love which he felt for her.

"Felt? No. I still love her."

These words crossed his mind as he got lost in the endless pit of his emotions. So much had happened in the last ten years. So much had been won and lost; his sister, the stars , the moon , the sky…his first love. Bai, Amber…his family…Everyone who he loved or cared for was dead. There was no future for him. The Syndicate, MI6, FBI, CIA…every one of them wanted him dead. And for what reason, he didn't know.

But that wasn't important. Only Amber mattered to him. He loved her so deeply. All that time when they were in South America she was so nice to him. He remembered one very special case.

"You are so pitiful, Hei." A male contractor said from behind him. "I'll kill you in seconds, and she won't be able to protect you."

Hei frowned at the male contractor, wondering why he said that. It was irrational… There was no reason for that. And who was the woman he spoke of? Maybe Bai? No, she didn't care about him. She cared only for herself, because that was the only rational thing to do. Then who could it be?

The contractor closed to him, as Hei stood up. The contractor looked at Hei, frowned and said,

"She always chooses you for everything; for her partner on the battle field, for her friend and lover, as well. I don't know how she always chooses you when you are nothing more than a pathetic human who is trying to act like a contractor."

Hei now understood that he meant Amber. He thought about his words for a minute. It's true that Amber always chose him for a partner on the battlefield, she always shared with him everything and even sometime she wanted advice from him. But he wasn't her lover definitely. He would never think something like that. She was only a friend for him and a leader, of course. But the last words from the contractor made him angry. He wasn't a pitiful human. Hei frowned and went to speak, only to be cut off.

"Did I hurt your feelings, Black Reaper?" The contractor mocked him. "Answer me. Or you are scared?"

Enraged, Hei stopped him from speaking another word.

"Amber isn't my lover. She is only my leader. As for you, I think that you are the pitiful one. Why don't you say that to Amber? She is right there." Hei raised his hand and pointed at Amber. "Come on. Go and tell her what you think about her."

The contractor frowned, clenched his teeth and raised his fist to punch Hei in the face. Hei caught his arm before he succeeded and flipped him. The contractor yelled in pain and kicked Hei in the stomach. Hei made one step behind and socked the contractor in the face.

"Hey! Hey! Stop! Both of you!" Amber yelled, as she ran over to them.

A few other men followed her and caught Hei and the contractor. When Hei and the contractor calmed down the other men released them. They stared each other in displeasure. Amber stepped between them and yelled:

"What the hell was that?! This isn't a first mission! We are here, in South America! We don't need any scandals! Have you forgotten that death is always stalking us in the shadows?! I don't want to see anything like this anymore! Is that clear?"

"Yes, Amber," both men said.

After a couple of hours, the contractors lay down on the cold ground and fell asleep. The camp fire died, making the night colder. Hei sat against a tree and watched for danger.

Hei thought about what had happened earlier. He really had done something stupid. Amber was right. Heaven's War wasn't a game. They were on a serious mission and they didn't need any obstacles. However, the contractor acted very strange. There had been no reason for him to say what he had. This wouldn't change anything.

Hei heard steps behind him and pulled his knife. He calmed down and put away his knife when he realized that it was Amber. She came up to him and he just stared at her.

"You mustn't listen to him," Amber said.

"Why? Why did he do that?" Hei questioned. "It's irrational, right?

"Yes." Amber nodded. "But it's still logical."

Hei stared at her confused.

"Logical? But how?"

"Jealousy, Hei." Amber said, like she could read his thoughts. "You became better than him, despite the fact that you don't have powers."

Hei gasped. A contractor with irrational thoughts, was that possible?

"You can replace him." Amber continued. "You can become better than him. He fears that. That's why he tried to challenge you. He wants to remove the threat."

That made sense, but it was still too irrational for Hei.

Amber kneeled next to Hei and asked,

"Are you alright, Hei?"

"Yes," Hei answered. "Why are you telling me this?"

"Because…I'm not like them." Amber replied. "I care about everyone in my team."

Amber held his arm and leaned into him. Hei flinched as he felt her breath against his skin. Her breath was so warm and sweet; he couldn't resist it. Her soft hair tickled his neck. Their arms were entwined and his lips were only centimeters from hers.

He gave in and kissed her. Amber placed her hand on his cheek as she gave into it. Hei wrapped his arms around her back and continued to kiss her. The world seemed to disappear. There were no words. It was only them.

Hei's eyes filled with tears, and they slowly fell to the pillow. The memory made his heart to beat fast. Amber was dead. He had spent five years thinking she was a traitor, and now he couldn't tell her how much he loved her. How painful that was.

He remembered how she smiled at him. She warmed his heart at the moment he saw her. She could make him to forget about everything.

Hei wanted to bring her back so badly, but that was impossible.

"I promise you, Amber," he whispered. "I promise that I will bring you back someday, my love."

Maybe someday he would find a way to be with her. Maybe someday he would feel her soft skin and taste her lips again. No matter how, no matter at what cost….he was determined to be with her again.
