Cold down to the bone [Black Cat Love story]

6

After three hours of talking with Train, Shiki had found the two talking on the roof of the building.

"Creed, dinner is done everyone but you, Train and Aqua are at the table."

Creed looked to Shiki. "Alright thank you."

Shiki was quiet for a moment before he sighed. "You aren't going to have anyone wake her...are you?"

"What are you talking about Shiki?"

"I'm speaking about my cousin, who had told you before you zoned in on your friend that she was going to rest for a bit. Surely you heard her since she was right beside you." Shiki said seriously

Creed was quiet for a bit, he had heard her but he had no intentions of waking her.

"If needs be I'll wake her." Train said before he jumped down and went inside.

Creed didn't want Train to wake the blue haired woman up but sighed in defeat. He walked to the dining hall with Shiki only to be stopped by him.

"You dare hurt Aqua in any way and I will hurt you. She places a lot of trust and faith in you Creed don't let it be for nothing." Shiki said coldly before he went to his seat

Creed thought very little of the threat as he took his spot at the right end of the table. As he did so he saw that not only was Aqua and Train missing but Echidna was missing as well. He wondered where Echidna went off too, knowing that she was always by his side.

In Aqua's room she was currently struggling against Echidna, who had a fairly tight hold on her. "DIE TRAITOR!"

She couldn't reach her weapons so she was stuck struggling until Train came into the room to help her out, he tackled Echidna down and was able to get her out of the white haired woman's grasp. Train had his gun pointed to Echidna as he narrowed his eyes at her. "What are you doing in here?"

"I'm dealing with the traitor that had brought you here! She doesn't deserve to be here! She has lied straight to creed's face." Echidna said seriously

At that time creed had came into the room only to see Aqua on the ground and Train placing his gun at Echidna. "I don't know what's going on here but Echidna-head down stairs you don't belong in Aqua's room."

She scoffed and left after she did Train went up to Aqua and placed his hand out to her. "Let me help you up."

She thanked him before he pulled her up effortlessly with one hand. After he did he left the room leaving creed and Aqua alone, creed sighed out as he looked to Aqua. "What did you do to provoke Echidna Aqua?"

"I did nothing! She was the one who came into my room while I was sleeping to kill me!"

"I highly doubt that."

She rolled her eyes and pushed him out of the way of the door way after she got her swords. "I'm skipping your shitty dinner." She muttered before she walked off

He didn't like how she was acting towards him and went after her once he realized just how pissed off she was, also the many wholes in the wall that were no-doubt from Echinda's gun. He went after aqua to apologize to her only to see her blowing off steam by hitting the air. He called her name only for her to turn around and clash swords with him.

His sword clashed with hers and he saw the fact that she had anger and sadness within them. "Why is it that you attack me for?"

"YOU ARE A LYING SCHEMING BASTARD WHO'S JUST USING ME!" Aqua yelled as she repeatedly hit his sword with her own.

"I have not used you, what makes you think that Aqua?"

"I bring to you Train and what do I get for it?! You ignoring me and not one thank you from you!" She said as she threw her swords to the ground, she then sobbed out into her hands. "I thought you learned your lesson! I thought I was actually doing something right! But you won't change will you!?"

Creed was quiet for a bit before he placed his sword back in its place before he went up to her. "Aqua I apologize for not saying anything to you, but I was so shock to have Train beside me. I should have thanked you earlier, but I didn't. I should have known it would have done something to you." He said sadly to her.

She moved away from him. "Don't touch me!"

Creed looked to her sadly. "Aqua...I-"

"No! just don't! If you're really happy here with Train then you don't need me!" Aqua said sadly

Creed was quiet for a long while before he realized just how rude he had been to her. "Aqua you're wrong I do need you here."

"No! No you don't! You lie! You're just going to use me!" Aqua said sadly shaking her head

He moved towards her again and she moved back until her back hit a tree. He then caged her between his arms. "Aqua, I'd never do that." He said softly to her

"You lie!" She said sadly

Creed cupped her face with one of his hands "I am not. You won't ever believe me will you?"

"No I-" Aqua said before he kissed her again

Aqua internally wanted to kill him where he stood but didn't, she let a few tears go down her face as she felt his lips against hers. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer to him as she parted her lips from his. "Why do you keep trying to do this Creed? I'm not the right person to be here beside you." She asked sadly

"How would you know who is right beside me and who isn't?" Creed asked as he brushed his hand softly against the side of her face.

"Echidna tried to kill me because I was your girlfriend, she thought that I had tainted you and that I was a lying spy working for some other person when it was because of you that I am living here today. I owe you more than just my life Creed and she didn't believe that" Aqua said sadly

Creed look to her concerned. "So that's why she was in your room."

"Yes. She caught me off guard when I was asleep." Aqua said sadly

Creed looked Aqua in the eyes and pressed his forehead softly against hers. "Come back, I need you here with me."

Aqua closed her eyes and sighed. "Fine." She said as she opened her eyes and she slowly removed her arms from around him. "But ignore me again and I'll kill you."

Creed nodded his head as he looked to her; he wanted her to stay beside him. He couldn't let anyone ever get in the way of what he wished of Aqua. Which was the power she possessed within her, he hadn't yet figured out the right way to go about extracting it from her body but until that time came he would have to play nice with her. Getting her as close as he could to her as he played with fire with her.

Once they reached the middle of the forest Aqua smirked at him. "Race you back. The last one back has to do one thing for the other person and no take backs or complaining."

"Alright, I can work with that."

On the count of three they both bolted into the house only for Aqua to win by a long shot. Once she did Train was waiting for her. "Seems like you're okay." He commented

"Yeah, I'll be fine. I just needed to let out some steam that's all."
