Cold down to the bone [Black Cat Love story]

Train thought for a moment and sighed. "I made a deal with you Aqua, so I'll go. But if he hasn't change since the last time I saw him I will leave."

Aqua nodded her head. "Naturally I would have guessed that Cat boy. But before we go, I wish for you to do something for me."

"What might that be?" Train asked curiously

She goes to the nearest atm before she pulls out money and she hands it to him. "Give this to that Old Geezer and that young girl. Tell them its from an ally spy from within enemy lines."

Train thought for a moment. "You...don't actually agree with Creed. Do you?"

She shook her head no. "He's too much trouble and a waste of time."

Train nodded his head slightly. "Where should I meet you?"

"Where we met tonight, that's where I'll be waiting for you."

"Alright, I'll see you in a bit." Train said before he left out.

rain was able to place the money down where Sven was sleeping with a note before he left. He then went to where Aqua was waiting for him. Aqua got up when she saw the male. "So is everything okay?"

"Yeah lets go before it gets to be morning."

Aqua jumped down and she went to her bike. She then looked to him. "Step on the back of it and we'll be on our way."

He did as he was asked as he had his hands on her shoulders to keep himself from falling.

"So you really think that me being there will knock sense into him?" Train asked Aqua

"I do, and it'll also show him how serious I am. Even though what I do around him is an act. He falls for it all the time."

He laughed a bit. "Some right hand man you are."

"Hey I go by the motto keep your friends close and your enemies closer. I see you as a friend Train, whether you see me one or not is irrelevant to me. But I've always seen Creed as my enemy since his obsession has clouded his mind and his reasoning. It has gone from taking down the chronos numbers to just dealing with you. Honestly its utter bull crap and I hate it."

"So you really don't like him."

"That's a very complicated situation Train. I do dislike the guy cause of his freakin' male obsession, but at the same time...I care for him. He's the first person to ever really care for me outside of my family." She said sadly

Train didn't know what to say to her; the fact that she had such diverse thoughts about one male made him wonder just how the time that he would spend over enemy lines would go. He really hoped that he wasn't going into a trap or he would put Aqua under just like creed had done to Saya. He wasn't going to let anyone get in the way of his goal of dealing with Creed. He refused to think that it was going to be so easy to deal with such an insane male.

"So how much does he talk about me?" Train asked

"Its always train this and train that. Honestly its bull crap, as of late you're the only thing he speaks about. Sometimes I want to get duct tape and place it over his damn freakin' mouth. Like I really damn care about his cat obsession." Aqua said unamused

Train laughed and looked to her. "For a chick you aren't that bad. You're very amusing to talk to."

"I'm the most blunt and honest woman you'll ever find around Creed; if you ever want to know anything just find me and I'll tell you anything you wish. I promise you that as long as I live and breath that I will always be truthful to you. I don't know just what kind of life you lived around creed before but I pity that of you and will do what I can to help you until the death of me." She said honestly as she looked up to him seriously

He nodded his head before she stopped her bike and the two of them got to the manor. Aqua escorted train to where Creed was only to have Creed stand up in utter shock.

Creed looked between Aqua and Train, he couldn't believe that Aqua was able to get Train to their...no...his side. He smiled at his beloved friend as he walked slowly down the steps of the manor. "Welcome to your new home Train." Creed said as he made his way to Train

"I'm only here to watch over Aqua, you even think about harming her and I'll shoot you." Train said seriously

Creed sighed and he pulls Aqua into him holding on to her waist. "I would never harm my girlfriend. You are going to be here to help me lead aren't you?"

Train nodded his head. "I gave my word to Aqua, so I'm going to keep to it."

"Wonderful! Now there is a lot we must discuss train!"

Aqua glared at Creed because she could call his bull shit but she refused to say anything...yet. She heard the two bickering until she saw her cousin and let herself be out of Creed's grasp to go towards Shiki. He took her out to the patio where he spoke to her alone.

"Tell me Aqua...How are you holding up?"

"Eh, could be worse."

"You brought the cat boy, what did you promise him?"

"Food, he's a pig when it comes to it. He eats more than Maro does." Aqua said with a scoff. "He doesn't fully trust Creed, but he has trusted me. I wish to keep it that way as long as he has some trust in me I will keep him here and away from those sweepers."

"Good, I have faith in you cousin, now its best for you to keep beside Creed or he'll forget you."

"I know Shiki, I'm aware and I have my own threat towards him if he tries anything." She said before she walked back into the room and wrapped her arms around Creed once more.

He ignored her which made her frown as she looked up at him; whenever she'd tried to get his attention it would fall upon deft ears.

"Tonight we celebrate a small victory to our glorious path to freedom!" Creed said happily as he placed a hand on Train's shoulder. "Now with Train here we can commence to destroy our foes! Tonight we celebrate Train's arrival."

"So what does that make me Creed or were you just lying straight to my face?" Aqua asked as she pouted

Creed went up to her and wrapped his arms around her. "How could I forget about you Aqua, you're the person who made it all possible bringing Train here without a problem. You really are a blessing Aqua."

She looked up to him with a slight nod of her head. "I hope you remember that too." She said seriously

Creed then showed Train around and Aqua stayed a few paces behind the two males. She soon felt tired from being up again without sleeping and she tried to get Creed's attention. "Creed I'm going to take a nap, I haven't slept in days."

He said nothing as he dealt with some of the other members. Aqua sighed as she shook her head. She then went up to train. "If that bastard asks where I went tell him that I did tell him where I went he just ignored me like the cold hearted ass he was."

He nodded his head. "Sleep well Aqua; and do be careful around here."

"I know, thank you for trusting me at least a little bit. At least I know you have a kind soul." She said before she went to her room. As she did she could feel herself being watched only to see from the side of her room Echinda. "What do you want?"

"I want to know what business does a rat like you have with creed? You must be up to something." She said narrowing her eyes at Aqua

She sighed and lied down on her bed kicking her shoes off. "The only business I have with him is repaying him for saving my life; he just finds it easier to call me his girlfriend than just some errand girl for him."

"Do you love him?"

She was quiet, she hadn't known how to answer that question.

"Answer me! Do you love him?!"

"Even if I did he does not love me back, he uses the title to persuade people to see me as a person close to him. I know he cannot...and will not love me back. No matter how much I attempt to make him."
