CHAPTER ONE

Walking back and forth in her new apartment, Yami wondered why Hibiki hadn't shown up yet. He hadn't said a thing about changing their meeting time before she moved here, so she was right to have expected him twelve minutes ago.

When she got here, just an hour ago, the landlady had been fighting with a cat, and it took some time before she understood that Yami was supposed to start living here. She hadn't met any of her new neighbors the short time she was outside, but she guessed that was just as well. At the last place she lived, a guy had appeared to fall for her, complicating many of her missions by trying to spend time with her.

A knock on the door makes Yami stop walking, but instead of walking over to open it she stands still in the middle of the empty room.

"Are you in there?" questions a male voice, and Yami easily recognizes it as belonging to Hibiki. She glances at her wrist watch, he is now sixteen minutes late, before opening the door to let the man inside.

"Tomorrow at six in the evening, two men will be meeting at a restaurant", he begins. "You are to head there and kill then both, before they start to exchange information."

"Are they contractors?" Yami asks.

"No", Hibiki answers shortly and hands Yami a paper with one picture of each of the victims, plus an address to the restaurant. He then leaves the apartment without saying anything more.

Hei is sitting in his apartment thinning the situation over for about the hundredth time. He ruined The Syndicate's plans to wipe all contractors off Earth, and there's no way they'll just leave him be. He's surprised no one has tried to kill him yet, considering it's been two weeks since Tokyo Explosion.

Staying inside an apartment for two weeks however, is probably the most boring thing he has ever done. If it wasn't for home delivery food he would've starved to death long ago. Though ordering food is kind of a problem for Hei, considering how much he eats, and taking in the fact that he doesn't earn any money, the problem isn't even a small one.

Yin is living with Hei now, though she isn't much company. At least having her there is very convenient, she's on constant watch for uninvited visitors.

With contractors now being known by every human who has watched the news or talked to someone who does in the previous two weeks Misaki's job has changed a lot. The one good thing is that there aren't so many secrets around it anymore. But with it being common knowledge, people have started to blame things on contractors, and there have been many fights between contractors and humans.

But while doing her work every day, Misaki's mind is also occupied by the face of a man who has picked her interest. There has been no activity from BK-201, and she hadn't seen Li even once for the past two weeks. However, she has a feeling that he hasn't left. And she doesn't know what's keeping her from going to his apartment to see if he still lives there.

She wants to see him, there are so many questions she wants to have answered.
