FireCacodemon: Welcome back to The Last Contractor, re-write.

Misaki: Darker Than Black belongs to Tensai Okamura.

FireCacodemon: Don't have much to say so on with the chapter.


Chapter 4:

Misaki in PANDORA

BK-201 waited patiently, he was told that he was getting a visit from someone but he didn't know who. Dr. Schroeder had left him alone in the room as he had left for a meeting. The door needed a password to open it but BK-201 didn't know the combination and he was told that if he tried to leave without Dr. Schroeder with him, then he'll be punished. The punishment wasn't clear but it was enough to keep BK-201 trapped in the lab that Dr. Schroeder worked in. Most of him wanted to try different combinations but the threat of a punishment was enough to go against it. There wasn't anything against standing at the door while waiting patiently for his surprise to come through the door. His mind buzzed with a lot of different questions on what the surprise might be. Could it be food? He had found quickly that he was constantly hungry, for reasons unknown. Dr. Schroeder was puzzled by it to, but anything which seemed to enter BK-201's body was very quickly digested. There was something in BK-201's body which had the ability to break down anything quickly, giving the illusion of him having a black whole contained in his stomach. The thought of a soft animal toy flickered through his mind. Would that be it? That didn't seem likely, Dr. Schroeder didn't look like the type of man to go out and buy toys for him, and he looked more like a crazy scientist than anything else. BK-201 shook his head, he shouldn't think like that after he was being looked after by him. That wasn't right. BK-201 reluctantly left the door, seeing a desk he climbed up onto the chair and looked around the desk, seeing a board marker and smiled.

The Last Contractor – Chapter 4: Misaki in PANDORA

Misaki parked her car in the car park before she spotted Dr. Schroeder waiting patiently for her. She never did find out why she was called back to PANDORA when there wasn't anything left the research about which were different from the average person. Dr. Schroeder smiled at her before he turned around and started to take her inside.

"So, what's this about sir?" Misaki asked.

"There's a surprise waiting for you to come, I'm not telling you what it is but I'm sure you'll be happy."

The Last Contractor – Chapter 4: Misaki in PANDORA

BK-201 looked around the room he was in before he heard the beeping of the lock being opened; BK-201 dropped the permanent marker and dashed out of sight. He was a secret and it was driven into his mind, he shouldn't be allowed to be seen until the coast was clear for him to emerge. The door opened as footsteps were heard coming into the room. Going deeper into his hiding place, BK-201 waited to hear the painfully familiar voice in the room. He had to remain quiet while someone else searched through the room, there wasn't anything which gave BK-201 the idea to jump out and say hello.

"You don't have to hide, I'm back," Dr. Schroeder called out to the room. BK-201 recognised the voice and started to come out from his hidey hole and into the open to see his normal companion and some strange woman. Her eyes widened at the sight of him, yet he didn't have any idea on who she was.

"Why is BK-201 here?" She couldn't keep her surprise down as it was set off like a rocket. BK-201 just looked at her confused.

"Who are you?" He asked in Chinese. Misaki froze; he was speaking in his native tongue. Misaki's mind was filling up with questions which were going to be answered very shortly. She watched as BK-201 watched her carefully before she finally put two and two together and made the link which was always there in the past. She had finally uncovered BK-201's identity which was Li Shengshun. All those times she was hanging out with Li, she was hanging out with BK-201? No, that didn't seem possible...but...she was. Everything that they had talked about...all the meals they had shared...she was sharing them with the very contractor she was hunting. She didn't know if she should be hurt or if she should be happy? At the moment, he didn't have any memories or knew anything about Japanese.

"Miss Kirihara, this is BK-201, from what I can tell, the only contractor left." BK-201 never took his eyes off Misaki, trying to see if she was going to be a good friend or someone to help look after him. He felt like he should know her, something stirred in the back of hid mind but he couldn't keep hold o the memory for too long to explore what it was hiding. Dr. Schroeder smiled at BK-201. "Is there something bothering you?"

"Sir, why did you bring her here?" BK-201 asked him. Misaki just stood back and watched the two of them interact in BK-201's language.

"Because she's going to help you regain your memories. Don't you think it's about time you learnt your name? Learnt who you were?"

"Well...yeah...BK-201 is more of a label...than anything else..."

"That's why I brought her here. So treat her kindly." BK-201 nodded. If Misaki was here to help him regain his memories, maybe he'll find out exactly what needs. Dr. Schroeder was correct, he did want to regain what he had lost and if that meant that he need to get on with her, then that is what he will be doing. Maybe he'll have fun with her? He didn't know, but now he had something to go on.


FireCacodemon: Kuroyuki no Ryu - Sorry about you having a terrible week so I was glad to hear that this story made the week better. BK-201 is adorable, I actually love the way I've written BK-201. Don't worry, I'll be writing this until I feel it needs to finish.

Dr. Schroeder: KIBucs15 - Glad to see that you're anticipating the next chapter.

Misaki: AFandomAuthor - Will I adopt BK-201? He really can't live in a lab...I'll have to see what FireCacodemon writes.

Li: I'm adorable? *Smiles.* Yay!

FireCacodemon: Thanks to everyone who's reviewed or read the chapters, favourited, followed and even just glanced at the summary of this story. Now that Misaki's here, I'll probably start writing longer chapters but it really depends on what's going on with me and when I sit down to write. I'll try and get longer chapters out for everyone but that's what I'm planning now. Thank you again, and I'll see you next chapter.
