"I didn't know you had company Hei. Maybe I should leave," Misaki said as she started to get up. Hei quickly grabbed onto her arm.
"This isn't what it looks like."
"Oh yes Hei, it's perfectly normal for a girl wearing only a towel to be here," Misaki replied sarcastically. She was feeling jealous and surprised, but she wanted to remain composed. She didn't want to act like an overly jealous girlfriend; it just wasn't what she'd do.
"Misaki, I didn't want her staying with me, but I had no choice. She was the source I was talking about earlier."
"The source?" Misaki repeated in confusion.
"She's a Contractor who can travel through time. Her name is Amber. She was my friend...as well as my ex-girlfriend in the past."
"Ex-girlfriend..." That definitely made Misaki feel a lot better. How could Hei allow his ex-girlfriend to live with him? Misaki looked over at Amber who smiled back at her.
"It's true Misaki-san. I've known Hei for a long time now. We were together for a while before and a little bit during Heaven's War. Oh! I'm warning you now, Hei can be a gentle lover but at times he can be a beast!"
"Amber!" Hei yelled out.
"Whoops! I'm sorry! That just slipped out," Amber responded with a guilty smile. Misaki didn't know what to think any more or how to react.
"I think I really should go. We can talk about this later Hei." Misaki pulled her arm away from him and started to walk off. She walked passed Amber who waved bye at her and exited the apartment. Hei gave Amber a death glare.
"Look I'm really sorry Hei! I didn't know she was here!"
"Just...stay here. I'm going to go to her apartment." Hei didn't want to leave things unexplained. He didn't want Misaki to get the wrong idea. Walking passed Amber; Hei grabbed his green jacket and walked out.
Amber sighed, "I guess this is going to be harder than I thought."

Back in her apartment, Misaki sat on the couch and thought back at what had happened at Hei's apartment. She already knew Hei probably had many past lovers; he was the definition of desirable in any woman's eyes. But it still hurt to know that his ex-girlfriend was alone with him. Hei didn't seem like the type to cheat, that Misaki knew, and he said that she was a source they could use. So then why was she feeling so frustrated? Why couldn't she keep her cool and not let it get to her?
Misaki, just forget about it. For now, think only about work. You have a lot to do. That's right; she would submerge herself with work. It was a long day but the night was still young. Misaki got up and decided that she would take a nice deserved shower. Making her way towards her bathroom, Misaki entered and closed the door behind her.
Before she could take off her blue jacket, she heard the door bell ring. Who could that be? Misaki walked out of her bathroom and made her way towards the front door. Opening the door, Misaki saw that Hei was standing on the other side.
"Hei, what are you doing here?"
"I wanted to come see you. May I come in?" Hei asked.
"I think it would be better to talk tomorrow. I have a lot of work to get to," Misaki responded. As much as she wanted to let Hei inside and talk, she could still see the image of Amber in her head.
"Misaki...I love you."
What?! Misaki was completely taken aback by the three words that just came out of Hei's mouth. Sure they had been going out for a while now, but for him to confess his true feelings at that moment wasn't something she was expecting. Still in shock, Misaki couldn't move or speak. Hei took the opportunity to let himself inside, closed the door and grabbed onto Misaki. He held her very close, the proximity making Misaki blush.
