Chapter 1: The Other Side of Bad Luck
"You're coming with us, Konbi," Sven said as Train held his pistol closer to the perp.
"Yeah, o-okay, I-I'll come, just don't kill me!" Konbi then muttered, "Damn you, sweepers."
"Come on, let's go," Sven said while leading the man away. Train hesitated for a moment then turned and stopped when he heard a slight splash of water. He cocked his gun and held it up, aiming into the shadows. He was just about to shoot when a silver haired girl wearing scarlet clothes appeared and collapsed in front of him. She was bleeding deeply from a large wound on her shoulder, which was already stained with crimson blood. Train quickly shouldered her and sped off after Sven, his collar bell jingling at his speed. The girl, half fainted, muttered in Train's right ear, "Are you…him…?" Train ignored this and increased his speed as he approached the station.
Three hours later the girl awoke to see that she was in a room at a hotel, the same room Train and the others were in. She sat up, wincing at her sore shoulder, but relaxed as she set eyes on everybody. Rinslet spoke as soon as the girl turned her head towards her.
"Finally you're awake, you look like a mess!"
"Shut up, Rinslet, you look like an even bigger mess than her!" The girl pouted and turned her back to the two men just as Train handed her a bottle of milk.
"Thank you, kind sir."
"I'm Sven, that guy over there is Train, the girl is Eve, and the pouting woman is Rinslet," Sven said, making Rinslet pout even more.
"Who are you and where do you come from?" Eve asked as she sat down on a stool in a corner of the room.
"My name is Shira Itachigo; I come from a city that is now torn to ruins by the Chrono Organization and their top assassin, Creed." Train's face turned into a stunned expression after she spoke that. In a somewhat shaky voice he asked,
"Why were they chasing you?"
"I'm the sister of the sweeper who brought down the Black Cat. I know my sister is dead, but I'm still searching for the man she brought down, he's my only choice to go to I guess you can say." Shira drank the last of her milk and started to head for the door. "I'll be on my way now I guess." She closed the door and an eerie silence filled the room. It was at last broken when Train sat up and headed for the door.
"Where are you going?" Rinslet said in her still angry expression.
"I'm going out, bye."
"What's wrong with him?" Eve asked in a sweet voice.
"Didn't you notice, Eve? It's Shira…The snow white ribbon that she ties her long hair up with looks like cat ears, she drinks milk from a bottle, she has green eyes, and she wears a collar with a little amulet on it just like Train."
"Wait, I see…"
"So? What's all these things have to do with Train?" Rinslet said in now an annoyed voice.
"Train's the Black Cat; don't you think Shira could be the opposite of him? You know, like a White Cat?"
"White Cat…," Eve said thoughtfully.
