FireCacodemon: I kinda had this idea on my laptop for a while but I didn't want to delete it. So I thought I might as well post it on this website.

AU!

Summary: Yin's spectre extended her hand into the black void where the Gate had sent him. Hei outstretched his hand to reach the pale blue hand before a pale orange viciously grabbed Hei's leg, forcing him away from Yin's spectre hand. "Yin!" He shouted as he struggled to reach her hand. He didn't hear a response as the pale orange hand ripped him out the black void. Hei felt a sharp pain enter his body and his vision faded to black.

Chapter 1

"Is he okay?" Hei heard a voice. It was concerned for some reason and it didn't sound like Yin's voice at all. His body shifted to high alert as his eyes snapped open. He was surrounded by concerned faces of people he didn't know. Nothing was adding up in his mind, he was standing in Hell's Gate with Yin and Amber...she pushed the Meteor Shard onto him and a white light flashed. He was in the other place...where the real stars twinkled and the floor was golden and glowing. Everyone was there, his sister, Amber, November 11, Havoc, Mao Huang...everyone was there and suggesting to be on the third path, the path were contractors and humans could live in harmony instead of having a human dominating world or a contractor dominating world. He was going to be on the run, he wasn't going to be left alone until he had been captured and killed by the Syndicate, and Amber had made that clear. Once things had settled down...he was thrown into the void where he lost consciousness.

"Are you okay sir?" Hei turned his head before he came face to face with Misaki Kirihara, his whole body froze. He was dressed as the Black Reaper, so it was very clear that he was BK-201, the most feared contractor. There was always something he could do, all he needed to go was to grab Misaki and kill her there and then...but he couldn't bring himself to move, he just looked at her with fear, confusion and cautiously all at the same time. "Sir?" Misaki asked him again.

"You...don't recognise...me?" Hei asked her. Now it was Misaki's turn to look confused at him. She didn't recognise him...for some reason that sent a shiver down his spine.

"Should I...sir?"

"...No...I'm okay..." Hei flashed a smile before he moved to get up. People backed up as Hei started to walk away. Something was wrong and he needed to find out what happened.

Lighter Than White – Chapter 1

Hei had wandered around the city of Tokyo, while most things looked the same, the people were different. He had learnt that Misaki was second in command as Saito had taken the leading role and a few other situations had changed, but nothing too major. He noticed the spectres but never made eye contact with them to avoid being detected by the astronomic department (he assumed) which were still around. The spectres had a pale orange look instead of the pale blue colour that Yin's spectre had. Hei gently sat down on one of the swings in the park and started to swing. The sky was still crystal clear but he knew that he needed to find shelter soon or he'll be stuck sleeping outside at night, if there were contractors here then shelter would be needed. Hei watched as a golden retriever walked into the park, the fur was a nice golden colour after just being groomed and purple eyes. The dog was being walked by someone very familiar. A young woman with long silver hair with violet eyes, she wore gothic clothes which fitted her eyes and pale skin. Hei quickly jumped off the swing and dived into the nearest tree.

"...Yin..." Hei muttered under his breath.

"Looks like Mao's late..." The dog growled in a voice that sounded all too familiar. That voice belonged to Huang. Hei's eyes widened, if Yin and Huang were here then Mao and his alternative were going to show soon. He was going to see what he was like in this world...a scary thought but interesting at the same time. It seemed to Mao and Huang had swapped positions so in theory, Yin was a contractor and Hei was going to be a doll.

"He might be getting us another doll," Yin said in a harsh sounding voice.

"If you took better care of them they wouldn't die so quickly," Huang scolded Yin. She simply looked away from the puppy and groaned. Seeing this Yin just made Hei wanted to get out of there sooner rather than later. He was going to be listening into a conversation that didn't concern him. IF he could just drop down from the tree and silently escape, he was going to be okay. Huang and Yin were distracted by some conversation about dolls so it gave Hei a chance to escape. Hei failed to take into account Huang's senses.

"What is it Huang?" Yin asked the puppy.

"I smell something funny...in that's tree over there," Huang turned his head towards the tree. "No one is watching, you reckless contractor." Yin nodded and activated her contractor ability and placed her hand on the grass, she drew out the water and formed a sword with the water. She charged towards the tree and sliced at the tree. The water acted like any normal sword, it sliced through the tree like it was paper but she missed her target, Hei had pushed himself away from the tree after hearing Huang. Once the tree was gone, Yin cancelled out her contractor ability and drew out a smaller dagger to continue attacking. Hei simply dodged her slashes while trying to create space between them. Yin kept coming at him, determined to kill him before Hei felt a new power taking over him. Hei found himself ripped from his body as he saw his more human self taking over.

"Li...?" Hei whispered as Li hopped into the body.

"Yin, be careful his scent changed!" Huang shouted down the communicator on his collar.

"What?" Yin looked at her companion, turning her attention off the Black Reaper was the worst mistake anyone could have made. Li reached into his pocket and brought out the wire and it strangely gained a life of its own. The thick wire soon unravelled itself, creating more wires for Yin to deal with. The wires were erratic out of the five or six wires, four waved around wildly and one or two of the wires occasionally went in for an attack on Yin who avoided them the best she could. "What are you...?" Yin demanded yet Li looked at her with lifeless eyes and a blank face.

"Yin, the four wild wires...Look!" Huang barked. She looked at the four wires and her eyes widened. At the end of the wires, four small orange spectres had emerged, looking around the environment.

"Well...aren't you interesting~" Yin smiled as she changed her plan of attack. Instead of killing, she just needed to knock out the being in front of her and escape to a secluded place where her team could meet up and discuss what had just been uncovered. Yin avoided another wire coming to attack her and caught sight of Mao's weapon of choice aimed at Li. A puff of smoke came out from the weapon and a dart was soon embedded into Li's neck. The wires all shot up into the sky and the spectres faded as the wire coiled itself once more into the one long cable it was before and fell to the ground as Li felt his body slipped into unconsciousness.
