Enemies in Love

Chapter 9

It was about time for the assignment to begin. Huang and the others were waiting for any sign of Hei, but still nothing.

"I'm going to strangle him!" Huang yelled with fury. "Do you know where he could be?" Mao asked Yin.

"No...He's not near any liquid."

"We're going to be killed because of him! I thought you were with him earlier Mao!"

"I was, but then someone came and I had to leave."

"It was Officer Kirihara," Yin added. Both Mao's and Huang's eyes went wide with surprise.

"Are you kidding me?!" Huang asked, "I thought he'd have that woman under control!"

"What happened Yin?"

"Hei and Officer Kirihara were talking. She mentioned BK-201 and told him that she wanted to protect him. Then they said they were going to a cook-out."

"And then?!" Huang demanded she continue.

"And then I don't know what happened. That was hours ago."

Huang grunted out in frustration. If Hei didn't get there soon, it would be too late and the end of their lives. Just as he was about to curse out to the heavens, Hei appeared with Misaki in his arms.

"Why is she here?!" Huang asked in confusion.

"I had no other choice but to bring her. I'll make sure to take her back home once we're done here. Also...I plan to tell her the truth"

"The what?!" Huang yelled.

"The truth about who I really am. I'll take full responsibility."

"If you do that, it'll be your head, not mine!" Huang replied.

"Put her in the car," Mao began, "And then quickly go stop that imposter!"

Hei nodded his head as he moved forward to place Misaki in the back of Huang's car. Her unconscious form brought both calm and sadness to his heart. She was safe, but not knowing how she would respond to their conversation later worried him.

Shaking his head, Hei leaned away from the car, turned and dashed away from the group. Huang, Mao and Yin all watched as he disappeared from their sight as they then turned their attention onto Misaki.

"What if she wakes up?" Huang asked.

"Beats me," Mao answered.

"Hei really cares about her," Yin said as she kept her lifeless eyes on Misaki.

"Caring about her will only bring him down," Huang replied, "How can he possibly be with the officer who's hunting him down?"

"If Hei's planning on telling her who he is, it could either help us or put us in even more danger." Mao didn't know how it would all turn out, but he hoped for the best outcome. Hei had already been through a lot; even now he was working hard and diligently. It wouldn't hurt for him to have some form of happiness in his life.

Even if that happiness was with Chief Misaki Kirihara.

Misaki was running to Li's apartment under the shadows of the night. Her heart was beating rapidly in her chest as something inside was telling her that something was wrong. She ran as fast as she could to get to the small apartment complex. Once she got there, she dashed up the stairs and towards Room 201.

Without knocking, she took out her gun and shot through the door knob, opening the door instantly. Making her way inside, she found Li lying on the ground beaten.
