A/N: This is the second installment to the renamed story "After Dark". You won't see me anymore in the wack A/H community. Big shoutout to my beta reader teavious. I decided to add more details to the scenery instead of simply bolding it. There will be one more chapter till I finish this story up, and then I focus away from this ship for a while.

Enjoy!

The sounds of crickets, and other insects could be heard from the patio. The ocean could be seen in the distance. Its calm and gentle movement made the night peaceful.

Hei sat watching over Yin, her breathing pattern was irregular. It resembled that of a child. It reminded him of Bai sleeping.

"C'mon Bai don't fall asleep here! We still have to head back to Base."

"Why are you even trying? Contractor's can't hold out on their payment forever you know that…"

Hei looked up to see Amber crouched next to him and Bai. Her amber colored eyes lit up the pitch black night.

"Let's carry her back to base, she won't be waking up anytime soon. She used a lot of her powers today after killing that many contractors."

She help lift Bai into his arms. They began to walk through the jungles.

The trees hanged over the three, blocking any light coming from the stars. Monkey's and other animals could be heard from within the trees.

"Thanks Amber, I wish things could be different."

Amber looked up at him.

"What do you mean by that?"

"I wish Bai, you, and even Carmine could all be free from your contracts. You know from this mess. It's not fair!"

She was shocked to even hear him say something like that. Hei generally kept these things to himself due to his hate towards contractors. Amber put her hand on his shoulder, stopping him from progressing any further.

"Things will get better. One day, the three of us will go stargazing. This experience will be nothing but a memory."

Hei looked into her eyes, he knew she wanted the same thing as him.

"Yea, I would enjoy that a lot. Maybe when we get to base, and I put Bai into bed, we could go stargazing. Just the two of us."

Amber started to blush, but Hei couldn't tell because of how dark it was in the jungle.

"I would love to. I haven't been stargazing with someone I care about in ages."

Hei smiled as she put her hand on his cheek. She began to lean in for a kiss. But before they're lips met they were interrupted by the sound of branches breaking. She quickly drew her shiny metallic pistol from her case, and pointed it into the direction.

"Don't shoot!"

She could see Carmine in the distance running towards them. She stored away her pistol. Hei looked up at the red haired girl who was covered in blood.

"Carmine, why are you covered in blood? Did you forget your way to Base?"

"Don't call me by that anymore Hei, my name is Havoc. The blood is not from me."

Amber looked puzzled as to why she didn't want to be called Carmine.

"Is there something the matter?"

Amber shook her head.

"Well let's get out of this creepy forest then."

The three walked to Base without saying a word.

Hei suddenly snapped out of it due to the arguing outside. It was 5:00pm, and Yin was still asleep.

"Hey, wake up Yin!"

Hei started to shake Yin, and she slowly awoken from her sleep. She left her soft bed and sat on the wooden chair.
'I will watch out for us Hei, don't worry."

Hei lied in his bed and passed out.

The sun was just coming over the horizon. Yin observed the couples at the beach enjoying their stay. Hei awoken from his 4 hour slumber, confused as to why she would want to look at couples enjoying themselves.

"Yin, I have to go extend our stay here. Do you wanna come?"

"Yes."

She stood up from the chair and held onto his hand.

Hei walked up to the counter, and began to fill out an extension. The guy at the counter stared at Him. He stopped writing his extension.

"Is there a problem sir?"

"Oh no! I have to say I envy you."

"Why do you say that?"

He started to fill out the extension again.

"It'd must be nice to extend your vacation for as long as you like."

Hei laughed as he finished the extension.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime thing, after all."

The hotel doors slid open. The sounds of seagulls could be heard nerby.
"Good evening mam! Are you checking in this evening?

"I am"

Hei finished the extension sheet, He turned around to leave. Someone walked past him, and he felt a chill go down his spine.

He quickly turned around to where he had filled out the extension sheet. He began to stare at the green haired woman, the guy at the counter looked up at Him. He started to shake from fear.

"No way…"

The green hair women turned around to look at Him, He saw her beautiful colored eyes. Hebecame very nervous .

"Um… is something wrong?"

She looked at Him straight in the eyes.

"Oh, no sorry! I think this heat must be getting to my head."

He knew it was Amber, and she looked as beautiful as she did in South America.

Hei put on his straw hat, and turned around to leave the lobby. His face was bright red, He looked up shocked to see Yin standing in his way.

"Hei, is something wrong?"

He wasn't going to talk with her about his past lover coming back to life. He smiled and grabbed her hand.
"It's nothing, Let's go."

That evening, they ate in the hotel's restaurant again. Hei and Yin sat across from each other. He wasn't eating his food at the same rate like most of the time. Amber sat at the table in front of them. He stopped eating, instead focused on watching her while she took her order.

"Yes mam, it may be a sharp-smelling dish, but at our hotel we use a secret sauce that gives it a mild flavor. I think you will enjoy giving it a try."

She tapped her fingers on the glass table. She smiled at the waiter.
"Sure! You talked me into it, and I'll get a loaf of bread with a side of whip cream for my side dish. Also can I get a glass of water please?"

The waiter became very nervous.

"G-ood choice. I'll be right back with your glass of water mam."

He tipped his head down to cover his face.

Hei began to eat, He didn't even look at Yin. she knew something was bothering him.

The ocean was less calmer tonight, the waves moved back and forth almost blocking the sound of the insects nearby.

Hei took first shift of watching over Yin. He began to wonder what Amber was doing there. He couldn't put his finger on it, but he had a sense something bad was going to happen. Hei opened up the doors which lead to the patio, He sat down and looked at the stars. Yin tucked on his arm.

"It's my time to watch."

He checked the time, it was 6:15. He was supposed to wake her up almost an hour ago.

"I must've lost track of time."

He went into his bed and fell asleep.

The sun was out, and the ocean was calm. The seagulls flew around the hotel leaving their mark.

Hei was observing the ocean and how it looked so different today. To the side of him he heard a cat meow.

"Here kitty. Aren't you hungry?"

He looked at Amber trying to feed the cat. She looked at him, as he stood before her. She smiled.

"Oh, Hello!"

He started to act like Li more than like Hei
"Good afternoon."

The cat snatched the small fish out of her hand while she was distracted by Hei. The cat ran off with the food in its mouth.

"Too bad, Looked like I almost had a new friend there. Where's your wife today?"

He looked at her shocked that she said that.
"Oh I'm sorry! The manager mentioned you guys were on your honeymoon. I didn't mean for it to sound like I was stalking you."

"It's okay haha"

"Well she's still upstairs. She's getting dressed to go out for the day."

Amber had her hands behind her back, Started to smile.
"Are you going sightseeing?"

"We don't have any set plans."

He smiled, as if that was meant for an open invitation for Amber to come with them.

"Yeah, I guess there's not much to do here. It is good for relaxing though, and for walks on the beach, and it's pretty. I used to come here with my boyfriend."

He took notice to what she had said.
"He didn't come with you?"
"Well it's kind of personal, stranger."

He backed up as the red color came onto his face.
"I apologize!"

She laughed at him blushing, He really missed hearing that laugh. Every time he had seen her she looked like she wanted him to do something.

"It's fine."

The cat came back, and started to rub against Amber. She crouched down and began to rub the cat's head. It took in Amber's scent, He just stared at her.

"I should talk about it more. It's not very healthy to keep these things in. The reason he's not here is probably because he's off sleeping with some hot new girl."

He knew that She was talking about him, and that Yin was the new girl that replaced her. He felt really bad. He was trying to get the courage to tell Amber how he really felt about her before she left him and Bai. He also wanted to tell her how her betraying him really hurt him. He had water in his eyes. He wanted her.

"Hei…"

He was too involved with Amber too even worry about his surroundings.
"Hei"

Hei turned around shocked and embarrassed to see Yin there.

The sun was setting as Hei and Yin walked on the empty beach. The ocean was calm and there were no seagulls left around.

He walked away from her lost in his thoughts. Yin reached for his hand but he pulled it away. He wondered about what Amber had said to him about Yin being his new girl.

"The stars are so beautiful."

Amber laid against the tree stump, Hei was on the side of base could be seen in the distance.

"Yea I love watching them, They always make me wonder how this happened."

Hei held her hand. She started to blush but Hei stared at the stars.
"Amber, where is your star?"

"The bright green one it's near Bai's"

The star was very bright and it was the only green star. They stargazed and pointed out other's stars. She smiled at him as he turned towards her.

"I want you to know that I will always be here for you."

He looked down to see tears coming down her face. He put his hand on her face. He smiled as she looked him in the eyes.
"Amber, I'm here for you to Don't worry you won't lose me."

He wrapped his arms around her. She embraced him back.

"It's going to be alright as long as we're together."
As she kissed him multiples star's began to fall.
