So here's the third chapter. Please read and review! I hope everyone likes it! (but if you find any errors or anything like that, don't hesitate to let me know... still learning, right? :PPP)

Hei put Kiyoko down onto the floor of the warehouse. This was an isolated building quite a long way out of the city, and a perfect hideout if you want to cut someone off from society completely. From inside, there was no way to figure out where this place was- there were no windows and the only door was locked shut. A lone ventilation gap at the highest corner of the rectangular room formed the only source of illumination, letting the moonlight pour in. The dim light made the stone floor of the room visible, showing the strange assortment of boxes and sealed packages haphazardly scattered around.

Hei had earlier cleared out a little space for his hostage, and now perched on top of a pile of boxes he looked at her. Despite her reputation of being dangerous and merciless, the unconscious contractor looked somewhat peaceful… her air-blown hair had fallen on her face, and her lips had swollen up. Must have hit her bad when she fell on the ground… Hei thought. Frightening was not the word to describe her just now… beautiful maybe? Hei tried to recall the data he had gathered on her. Kiyoko- that's what she was known as. Last name unknown. Messiah code- SS559. She needed to be locked up because-

Suddenly Kiyoko stirred. Hei drew his attention back to her. A second passed, and then she threw her eyes open and jolted upwards. Or at least she tried to. Her hands were tied behind her back; not only that, her fingers had been curled up into a fist and cloth has been wrapped around it, preventing her palms from being exposed. She tried to tear it off, knowing full well that would be useless. She had been captured by the most feared contractor out there, and her chances of an escape should be pretty slim…

Hei spoke first. "You have no reason to get worried. I'm not here to fight you or even harm you in any way. You just have to be quiet and stay here for a while." He needed to make it clear to avoid any unnecessary struggling on her part.

"Then what?" Kiyoko asked. "You are just going to let me leave?"

"sure." Said the masked face.

"Then what' the point of holding me here?" Now she was getting confused, not to mention irritated.

Hei sighed. "You have to stay here so that you cannot interfere with a job that is being carried out right now. The thing you were after this morning is being moved to a safer place. You really don't need to know the details, just that you can't get out of here until I say so."

Kiyoko had figured the last part out by herself… but she made one last attempt anyway…

"Untie my hands. If you're not fighting I won't waste any energy either." She made her face look as innocent as possible. If her hands were free, she could blast her way out of here. Although she was worried about how little strength she had left, trying couldn't hurt.

Hei smirked beneath his mask. The girl was pulling off a really cute act. But it wasn't going to work. He jumped down and walked towards her. Two can play at that game…

He crouched down on the floor in front of her. He examined the ropes tying her hands. It wasn't too tight, but her body was angled in an awkward position, so that most of her weight rested on one arm. He put an arm under her and lifted her up slightly, and repositioned her.

Kiyoko held very still as he turned her over on her back. What was with him? He was so close! Not only had he put both his arms around her and picked her up, he had lowered his head so that her nose touched his damn neck! She didn't dare breath out, but didn't close her eyes either. She didn't want to give him the satisfaction of knowing how he had paralyzed her once again, this time without even using his electricity! Instead, she glared through the dark into the only thing her eyes could focus on- his bare neck that was visible through his coat. She couldn't help but notice his beautifully shaped collarbones, sticking out from beneath his smooth pale skin. And he smelled nice too, she realized with a tingling feeling. A warm, friendly smell. Friendly, she thought ironically. Here he is holding me against my will and I just have to like the way he smells…

Hei felt her stiffen under him, and quickly let her go. He wasn't going to untie her though. "What do you need your hands for? All you have to do is just lie there…" he said once he put her down. Kiyoko fumbled for words. I have to say something convincing…

"Um… I needed to get the hair out of my face." She replied in the sternest voice she could master, but even that turned into a hoarse whisper. She was not ready for his reaction…

He gave her a long look, and then slowly lifted his left hand to her face. He then lightly took hold of the loose strands of hair covering one of her eyes and gently shoved them away behind her ears. Kiyoko ended up staring at the mask and wondering how this contractor could ever be so gentle. Well, now that she was pretty sure he didn't plan on killing her right away, she couldn't help the urge to start a conversation. More of that dreamy voice, she mused.
