Me: Hey, everybody! I thought of this while finishing up the original Yu-Gi-Oh! and started Black Cat. I have never tried a crossover, and originally thought that this would be a one-shot, but what do you guys think?

I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! or Black Cat! Please read and review!


The Cat and the Dancer

Anzu POV

"Bye! See you bright and early in the morning!" I waved as I made my exit through the back stage door.

Plugging my headphones in and pressing play, I began weaving my way through the always present crowd of people filling the sidewalks. Surrounded by towering skyscrapers with neon lights that demanded attention and the Broadway production promotional commercials and performers, New York was truly a sight to behold!

Since moving here, I had found a job as a choreographer and back-up dancer at one of the most popular Broadway stages. If being surrounded by people who shared my passion for dancing wasn't good enough, I had scored a really nice place on top of one of the skyscrapers. The view of living on the top was one of the big advantages of living here, and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world! The music suddenly stopped as my phone jingled. Blinking in surprise, I pulled my phone out and looked at the screen: Joey had sent me text message!

"Hey, Tea! Haven't heard from you in a while! How's New York treating you? The gang and I are missing you, especially Yugi. Would really do him good to talk to ya'. He's been worried about how you have been, you know, since Yami left. I'm not really good at this kind of thing, but he's where he belongs and he will never truly leave us…I just hope you're not holding yourself back from finding your own happiness."

A lump formed in my throat as pain bloomed in my chest. Tears stung my eyes as I shoved my phone in my pocket, and began running. People and cars zoomed by as I ran, but I didn't care. Just when I thought I had finally gotten over him, stupid Joey had to go and tear off the scab that had formed. I didn't stop running until I reached my apartment building and climbed the ladder to the roof.

My body shaking in exhaustion from the sprint and dance practice, I leaned against the concrete balcony banister as memories began flooding me. Yami when he saved me from the mugger… watching him duel against Johnny Steps…

"Stop it…" I whimpered, holding my head. "I don't want to think about it!"

The feeling I got when we touched… the smiles and winks he would throw my way… seeing his smile as he read his name… the last look he gave us as he walked into the Afterlife…

"STOP IT!" I screamed, my tears finally bursting forth in sobs. "I've been trying so hard to move on! I know you're gone, but why does it seem like you're still here?..."

I don't know how long I stood there crying, but I didn't care. All the pent up emotions that I had bottled up for the past two years was spilling forth like a giant waterfall, and I was powerless to stop it. After what seemed like forever, a feeling of warmth washed over me as a voice softly began singing in my ear. Under its softness, my sobs ceased and the pain dimmed. The song was pretty… Closing my tired eyes, I relaxed, letting the song seep into my body.


Train POV

The moon was so full tonight, shining brightly in a sky with scattered clouds. I had gotten into town around noon-ish and had found a job within minutes at the ever friendly Sweeper hangout on 216th street. After easily bagging a guy for $50 grand, I decided to explore the city. Leaping from rooftop to rooftop, I took in the sights that the Big Apple had to offer. It didn't disappoint with the many different architectures and landmarks.

Now I was resting my head against the concrete wall behind me, pouring milk into a saucer for a tortoiseshell cat that had three kittens with her. "There you go. Make sure you drink it all." I smiled as the black kitten suddenly dashed off and around the corner of the skylight. "Hey, you, come back here!"

A scream from where the kitten disappeared from caught the mother's attention and she seemed to hesitate, as if debating on going after it. "I'll go get him." I told her, petting her briefly as I stood and made my way around the corner. I smiled I cornered the kitten near the cement banister. It looked up at me with golden eyes, just like my own. My head unconsciously tilted as a soft humming came from the left of where I was standing. My breath caught as the moon came out from behind a cloud, bathing the rooftop in pale white light.

A girl wearing a black crop top with gold thread patterned to look like tiger stripes, showing off her slim waist and accentuating her well-endowed chest was leaning against the banister not 50 feet away. The leather skirt reached her mid-thigh, proudly showing lean and nimble legs. Her gold sandals sparkled quietly in the moonlight with every slight movement she made. Her chocolate brown hair fell just below her jawline, covering her face from view.

Saya…I shook my head wildly. No, we've been through this. Saya's gone, and can't come back. Get it through your head! My eyes shot from the black kitten sitting near my feet to the girl's shadowed face as the soft humming continued. Slowly, as I took silent steps toward her as her humming turned to words.

"…fan…the flames…into the past…"

I screeched to a halt as my chest constricted painfully. This song…

"…here…now…our lives….will last…"

I closed my eyes tightly as unwanted tears burned the backs of my eyes and memories began to rise. Sitting before me was a girl that looked exactly like the one who had sung the song for me two years ago when we first met… I remembered how beautiful she looked…standing in the moonlight…her voice was so soft and alluring…

"…We'll never know…the times of pain… fall down…fall down…"

"…falls the rain…"

Her head suddenly shot up and I found myself locked within sapphire. She wasn't Saya, but I had to know. "Who taught you that song?"

"I was wondering that myself. Do you know how it goes?" she asked, her eyes bright with curiosity. "I couldn't catch the first part. Would you mind singing it for me?"

A total stranger was asking me to sing… Crossing my arms, I gave her my side smirk. "I don't sing."

"Oh, really?"

I felt my heart start to race as she walked toward me. What was the worst she could do, slap me for being rude? I could easily take her.

She stopped and leaned forward until our noses were nearly touching, a cat-like smirk if I ever saw one on her face. "Hate to break it to you, but you just were. That last line: 'falls the rain; my life won't be plain' ringing a bell?"

Heat rushed to my face. I, Train Heartnet, number thirteen of the former Chronos Numbers, and one of the best Sweepers, had sung in front of a total stranger. The weight thinking about how Sven would react once he heard about it made my head hang…he was never going to let me live it down!

"Let me see…now how did it go again?" I looked up as she back off a little, biting her lip as her nose scrunched slightly. "Sing a song…unto the world…"

"Rising high, the clouds unfurl," I clamped a hand over my mouth.

"HA! You did it again!"

I glowered as she laughed, then smirked. "Guess you don't want to know the rest of the song then."

"Aww, come on! I was only teasing you!" It was my turn to laugh when she began to pout, her cheeks puffing out like a blowfish, but the laugh stalled in my chest as her eyes grew sad.

"Don't you dare try to pull that one on me," I said, crossing my arms again.

"Try what?" she asked, feigning innocence, I'm sure, as she leaned forward.

I took a step back. "That look."

"What look?" she questioned, following.

I felt my back touch the concrete banister. She cornered me! "The cute kitty face you're making will never work on the Black Cat." I said, using my arms as a barrier.

She blinked. "Cute kitty face? Black Cat?"

"That's what people call me. You're in the presence of the one and only Black Cat, best Sweeper in the world."

"Never heard of you."

I felt my ego deflate just a little bit. "Never?"

"Never, but cool name." she smiled and offered her hand. "My name's Tea Gardner. It's a pleasure to meet you, Black Cat, the best Sweeper in the world."

"My real name's Train Heartnet, but you can call me what you like." With a wide smile, I took grasped her hand.

Heat slowly worked its way up my arm as her long and slender fingers wrapped around mine. A soft scent brushed past me as a breeze came from the north…was that cinnamon and apples? It was so sweet, yet spicy…

"Black Cat…You have 2 seconds to back off before I punch you."

I blinked. Unconsciously, I had leaned forward to try to get a better whiff and nearly buried my face in her chest. Just one more inch and –

"BAM!"

"AAAGHH!" I cried, holding my head as I fell to the ground. "THAT HURT!"

"Maybe you should keep your head out of other people's chests!" she threw back, placing her hands on her hips.

She's tougher than she looks! Exploring the area where she had hit me, I could tell there was a large lump. She landed a hit without me even sensing it coming! My eyes widened as her hand came down and her extended point finger flicked my nose.

"Bad kitty!"

"W-Wha?" I blinked. Did she just call me a 'bad kitty'? Okay, this girl was officially weird.

"You heard me, bad kitty! Bad, Black Cat!"

It suddenly clicked in my head. She was making fun of me- the Black Cat! My eyes narrowed as I stood and loomed over her. "You do realise who you're talking to, right?" I asked lowly, my voice barely above a whisper. "I could take you out right now and you wouldn't even see it coming."

Her eyes narrowed, matching mine, but she didn't back down. "Looks like Black Cat is more bark than anything."

"Was that a challenge?"

Her face suddenly lit up. "If you can reach my apartment before I do, I owe you an apology. If I win, you become my partner. Ready, set, GO!"

"Wha-Wait!" I raced after her as she bolted for the stairwell entrance. This chick was something else! A smiled slowly began to grow as I chased her through the hallways of the building, but I haven't smiled like this since Saya died…This girl was truly something special.
