Enemies in Love

Chapter 4

"Misaki..."

Tender lips trailed down Misaki's neck. A blissful sensation ran throughout her body with every touch. Li was hovering above her, his toned upper body enticing her even more. At first Misaki felt a bit embarrassed as Li unbuttoned her shirt and started to kiss her, starting from her forehead and all the way down to her stomach. She couldn't remember how exactly the two ended up in their current situation, but she didn't complain – it was a dream come true.

Arching her back from the small bite she felt Li give her, she desperately wanted him to take the next step. Sounds escaped her lips that she hardly could control. While she was usually the dominate one at work, right then and there, it was Li who was possessing her. He moved his hands gently down her long smooth legs while brushing his lips ever so slightly against her exposed skin.

"Li-kun..."

Misaki's alarm started to ring, awakening her from her dream. It took her a few seconds to realize that everything she experienced wasn't real. What was happening to her? If she wasn't being tied down with thoughts of work, she was being tied down with thoughts of Li. Moving to shut off her alarm, Misaki got out of bed and stretched out her muscles. It was another day, which meant another Contractor must be the new target.

Making her way towards her balcony doors, she could see the sun shining brightly outside. Without caring that she just woke up, Misaki slide open the glass door and stepped outside to look at the clear blue sky. The fresh air really did feel refreshing against her skin.

"Kirihara-san!"

Misaki was taken aback from suddenly hearing her name. Looking down, she froze instantly as she saw Li standing in front of her apartment complex. "L-Li-kun!"

"I'm on my way to school. I came to ask if you wanted to eat dinner together?"

"A-Ah, sure!"

"I'll come by here around seven."

"That sounds good to me. I'll see you then!"

Li smiled as he waved and then walked off. Misaki watched as he left, wondering if her bed head and unwashed face scared him. She would be seeing him tonight, something she was hoping for since the night before. Would they go eat fast food again or would they go to a restaurant instead? Would it be awkward or easy-going? She wondered if Li really did feel anything with that kiss. Or was it just a quick gesture to lighten up the awkwardness she felt while the two stood in front of her apartment?

So many thoughts ran through her mind and she hadn't even eaten breakfast.

Hei felt a bit exhausted. He wasn't able to get enough sleep the night before due to his never-ending thoughts of Misaki. Some of the thoughts had to deal with how he would distract her while the others weren't ones he would want to share. He was supposed to meet up with Huang at his apartment complex for his next assignment. From what Mao told him, it had something to do with an imitation of himself. Somehow, someone was able to steal Hei's DNA and create another Black Reaper. The thought of it all irritated him. He'd definitely make sure to kill both the imitation and the person who created it.

As he approached Huang's apartment building, he spotted a couple walking out. From the looks of it they were happy, talking about what they would do for their next date night. It made Hei wonder if that could ever be him and Misaki? Perhaps in a dream world, but in reality, it was probably impossible. Shaking the thoughts away, Hei made his way into the building and up to Huang's apartment room.
