Set near the end of episode 23 and 25, season 1. One-shot. Sorry if it isn't very good...I tried.

Hei decided to sit looking at the sky for a few minutes, as he always did at night.

Nearly 10 years ago my life changed...and I lost nearly everything. At least Bai was with me until she disappeared with Heaven's Gate. I wonder where she is...and if Hell's Gate will disappear one day too. I wish that Pai and I were back in China, living in blissful innocence...

Hei decided to go home to rest. As he got close to his house, Mao appeared.

"Hei, don't go home."

"Why, what's happening?" And if what I think is happening, why did you come looking for me to tell me. That's not logical. The logical thing would be to run and save yourself. You could be gone by now.

*Suddenly a car comes roaring down the street towards them. It stops between the pair, and Hei can see Huang inside clutching a bloody stomach with Yin in the back.*

"Huang whats going on?"

"The Syndicate's cut us loose. We're out in the cold." And we are most likely going to be dead by morning. God knows how many of these freaking Contractors are in Tokyo working for the Syndicate.

==Hell's Gate, PANDORA

"How can you not understand that?" Hourai growled, still strangling her with his (robotic?) arm.

Misaki was starting to see blackness around the edge of her vision. She only hoped that Section 4 would get here in time before Hourai killed her and ran off with the voice evidence.

Suddenly, as if her wish had been granted, a wire shot from the rubble above and wrapped itself around Hourai's forearm. He momentarily let go to look at what had thrown the wire, as did Misaki.

It was BK-201. She didn't know whether to be thankful or scared. But, thinking on how he had saved her and Saitou in the past, she felt slightly relieved. Her thoughts were cult off when BK-201 sent electricity through the wire and made Hourai jump back. Somehow she wasn't electrocuted. BK-201 jumped down and rushed at Hourai. Hourai reacted quickly and brought his arm back to punch him.

BK-201 easily dodged his attacks then grabbed Hourai in the head, and viciously slammed the back of Hourai's head into the ground. He was about to electrocute him when Misaki cried out "No! Don't!"

Unexpectedly, he stopped gripping Hourai's head, and then did yet another unexpected thing.

"These higher-ups do not know how to fight." He muttered. And then he ran to the other side of the room, about to throw his cable when Misaki said something he wasn't prepared for.

Drawing and aiming a gun at him, she shouted "Hold it! Don't run! Li, please!" This caused Li to pause before he jumped forward again and looked back. He removed his mask, letting Misaki see his "Black Reaper" stare.

"The man you call Li is gone." He put his mask back on as he turned around and flew away on one of his wires.

"So...he really was him. The man I loved was the Black Reaper." Remembering how he had stopped Wei from killing Saitou. That hadn't been logical, which had made her think there was more than there already was to him shrouded in mystery. He could have let them die. They did pursue him all the time after all.

"But since he never did kill us when he could have...maybe he did care." She muttered in sadness.

Please don't shoot me if this sucked. My first time making a DtB fan fiction.
