Story

In the sequel, Hei and Yin are now on the run after betraying the Syndicate in the previous season. After leaving Japan, Hei encounters Suou Pavlichenko, a 13 year old Eurasian girl who becomes embroiled in the war and politics of the various factions and Contractors vying for power. Meanwhile, Hell's Gate remains standing in Tokyo, after Hei's efforts to stop the Saturn Ring anti-Gate particle weapon from activating. Although Contractors are safe from the danger of having their existences erased, this does not prevent new and old Contractors from abusing their powers. As Misaki Kirihara and her team in the Public Security Bureau deal with the increasing Contractor cases, she also has to keep the Syndicate at bay, who has major positions in the Japanese police and intelligence bureaus around the world. The storyline setting primarily takes place in both Japan and Russia.

This is a sequel from the first anime (Darker Than Black : Kuro no Keiyakusha) but it doesn't seems like a direct continuation of the first series. And maybe for some people, the main character of this sequel is not Hei anymore. You can say that Suou is the center of the story at first. The story itself is more to the point with a fast flow compared to the first series. But, in the end, the story backs again to Hei and Yin as it's center (maybe you can add Mao, Misaki, and The Syndicate too^^).

I'll not going to give any spoiler bout the ending. But i can say that the 12 episode can wrap this arc nicely. Yep, it's just an arc, part of the story, it looks like there's going to be another season of Darker Than Black, or maybe a movie or an OVA. Because the ending still leaves us with some question and some hint about what will happens next.

Well, once again, there's another anime which gives us another question and another hope of the next season.
