Cold down to the bone [Black Cat Love story]

4

Creed leaned back against the chair he was sitting in as he looked to Shiki. "I would never harm her after what she and I had discussed. Anyways your cousin is just as deadly as I am, I would never cross paths with her."

That left Shiki speechless as he stood there looking at him for a bit before he sighed out. "Good, I don't want to see her get hurt because of you using her as a doll. I trust your judgment and her trust in you, but you double cross her or I and I will make sure you don't live another day."

With Aqua she had went to the nearest village only to see the black cat and she hid herself till the night came around and she was sitting on the roof top. She felt the male sit beside her as she looked up at the night sky.

"I see that you still linger around." Train said as he looked to her

"I met up with Creed last night, I had figured that if I was going to be at his side that I'd let him know just what I thought...I almost killed him last night if it wasn't for the fact that knew that my cousin would have bitched at me for it." She said sadly

"So what happened between the two of you?" Train asked

"Nothing worth mentioning to you, but he's still obsessed with you Train. That's never going to change. I actually think that his reason behind wanting you to be beside him is the wrong type of reasoning." Aqua said still not looking to him.

"What type of reasoning do you think would work on me...if any?" Train asked curiously

She then looked to him quietly and was silent for a bit before she smirked at the brunette male and she chuckled a bit. "You have a big appietite for a male, you are always starving while being around that old geezer and that child. Be beside Creed and myself and you can eat whatever you want whenever you want. I realize what Creed has done in the past, but its the past you must look beyond that Train and think about your future and the future of this world. Do you really want the Chronos numbers to take over everything and make it so Sweepers are out of a job forever?" Aqua asked as she moved closer to the male.

Train backed away from Aqua and looked to her nervously. "What makes you think that'll sell me out?" Train asked as his stomach growled from hunger.

Aqua crossed her arms before she stood up. "I rest my case, so what will it be Train, starve or be well fed?"

"How are you all able to be fed every day?" Train asked

"Tao's were known for being powerful and wealthy before those stupid Chronos numbers went to war with us, it was said that we are no more but there are very few of us left and well what is used to keep us well fed and to fund anything comes from the Tao family...My family." Aqua said seriously

"If you are serious about this buy me dinner or something."

Aqua laughed. "So what this is a date or something cat boy? Are you tryin' to hit on me?" Aqua teased

Train blushed as he averted his eyes. "No I'm not, I'm just really hungry...that's all."

She sighed and smiled. "I'm messing with you kid, c'mon I know the perfect place to take you to." She said before she jumped down.

Train was surprised she jumped down but did the same and landed on his feet before the two of them went to a highly expensive restaurant. Aqua hoped that if she showed him that she was being truthful without totally selling herself out that she'd get the male that was using her emotions against her to stop being such a stiff bastard and actually love her instead of faking it like he was now. She knew he only accepted her because of the scent she gave off and she hated it; she wasn't Train, she wasn't close to him but she would bring the male to him and give him a piece of his mind. 

Aqua made sure that she sat so Train couldn't see anyone else. She didn't want him to change his mind. She leaned against the table as she smiled at him. "Pick whatever you want, I have enough to pay for the entire menu and then some." Aqua said as she crossed her legs under the table.

Train looked at the menu then at her. "Really I don't believe that."

Aqua chuckled. "Fine then, don't. But what I say is true."

Train was quiet for a bit before he sighed. Once the waiter came over Aqua quickly gave the waiter her order and the waiter looked to Train. He debated whether or not to actually see if she was truthful or not and chose to order everything on the menu which shocked the waiter. "Uh..sir are you sure you can pay for that much?"

"Hehe, he's not pay I am. This is my treat to the boy. So don't look so nervous. Just go about your night, everything will be just fine." Aqua said with a grin

The waiter left quickly and that's when Aqua laughed holding her side. "I can't believe you're actually ordering the entire menu! Are you that hungry Train?!"

He averted his eyes from her. "I haven't ate anything in over three days; cut me a break."

She grinned at him. "Then I suggest you enjoy this meal while you can....Well if you still think that I'm bluffing."

"I do, I don't understand how the right hand man of Creed could ever be so friendly. There has to be a catch."

"No catch; I'm just being me. See I never knew of what I could do or anything till I was eighteen. When Creed had found me after being alone, stranded and basically starving to death since being kicked out of an orphanage cause of my age." She said softly.

Train was quiet as he heard her speak. "So he found you?"

"He did, he was on a mission I believe and I just happen to be on the path he was walking. It was a cold, snowy day in January when he found me. I hadn't eaten anything for days...weeks. But he found me. He took me to see my cousin Shiki...The man I grew up with before being forced into an orphanage." She said as she sighed. "I ate well again and I learned much from Shiki, for three years I hadn't heard word one from Creed till we went to go find him."

Train looked to her upset. "And that's where you found him and I."

"Yes, That's where I found you pointing your gun at him. Just what was the deal with that anyways?" Aqua asked confused

"He killed a friend of mine. Saya was her name; she was a sweeper and a good one at that. He thought that she was poisoning me and that she was changing me. I didn't see what he did and well he killed her, out of sheer jealousy and rage. I couldn't be friends with a guy like that." Train said sadly

"Wait what? You're telling me that this is all over some girl? Dude that's messed up. Let me guess you were really close to her?"

He nodded his head and she scoffed. "Such a hypocrite! He's changing cause of me; so unless you want to get even with him I suggest you keep that past of yours in the past. You can't bring back the dead no matter how much you try....trust me on that." She said coldly

Train was quiet for the rest of the time until the dishes he requested came out. Aqua saw how his eyes changed at the sight of the food and she payed no attention to it as she ate her own food silently. She saw how fast he ate and wondered how he wasn't pudgy or fat by how much he ate. One by one the plates were empty and as the last one was emptied he burped and sighed contently. Aqua gave him a small smile as she went up to pay for the bill, he got up instantly and walked up with her. He needed proof that she could actually do as she said she could. When they got to the register she handed the waiter the card she had and as it swiped she was given it back and was told to have a good evening. Aqua motioned for him to walk with her outside of the restaurant and he did. Once they got away enough she stopped and crossed her arms.

"So Cat boy...what will it be?"
