Disclaimer: I own naught but this idea for the fanfiction. Black Cat and any of the characters are not licensed to me. Furthermore, no injuries were done to any animals during the making of this work.

Warnings: Violence, possible hints of slash, and the fear of uncertainty that lies ahead. Oh, and if my spontaneous updates count as a warning, that be a warning to ye.

Note: I've been wanting to do a Black Cat fanfiction for a while I guess. I'm sorry; I simply had to get this out of my head. I know I should be working on those other stories…Happy New Year!

Chapter One

Creed walked through the hallways of his lair, glancing out the windows as he walked. Two members had left. He scowled at the thought, but then smiled as he brushed it away to think of the outcome of all that he was doing. It was supposed to be perfect; him, a god, with Train by his side exactly like how it was meant to be.

Turning a corner, he walked down some stairways and further into his fortress. His shoes made soft noises, the only sound that filled the desolate walkway. His thoughts trailed after him as he slowly made his way to the Doctor. Shiki had found him earlier, giving him a surprising bit of news. It appeared as if the good Doctor had decided to leave the lair and attack Kyoko and Charden with Leon. However, his Train had taken the bullet meant for the foolish little girl.

His eyes narrowed at the thought. His hand shot forward, slamming open the door in front of him. The Doctor turned, surprised as he adjusted his glasses over some data charts he was making.

"Aah, Creed. To what do I owe this visit?" Creed bristled at his tone.

"You know exactly why I am here. Shiki came to deliver me some interesting news." He reached out, grabbing the Doctor's neck in a vice-grip with his hand. He slowly lifted him off the ground, his shoes barely grazing the cement. "You shot Train?"

The Doctor had his hands around Creed's, trying to stop the choking hold from tightening. "I did." He gasped out, "And it had an interesting effect I thought you would like to know about."

He raised a blonde eyebrow, curiosity now replacing the anger and fury that had been rising in him. He let the Doctor go, noting his face turning a little redder from lack of oxygen.

The man fell back, holding his neck gently and gasping in gulps of air. He adjusted his glasses once again, as calmly as possible. Sometimes, Creed didn't even seem to know his own strength.

"Well?" Said man asked impatiently, "What is it that will interest me so?"

"Bring Shiki down here and he can show you the effect of a little experiment that I had been working on." Creed's eyes narrowed, but he obliged.

No sooner, Shiki came into the room and followed the Doctor's instructions, calmly using his Tao to create a visual on Train for Creed and the Doctor to look at. When the image slowly appeared as his insect spy was in place, Creed's eyes widened.

He saw Train…in a child's form. He turned to the Doctor. The man began to speak, a smirk appearing on his face. "In this form, Train Heartnet will be at his weakest. We can easily whisk him away just as you've wanted to do for some time. I'm not sure how long the effect will last, so it had better be sooner than later."

Creed's eyes were transfixed upon the features of the miniature Train, a smile crossing his face. 'So kawaii…' He thought and nodded to the Doctor's idea. "Echidna and Maro will go. It will be the quickest way to stop him and remove him from those things tainting him."

Shiki nodded and left to go find the woman and man who would be carrying out the mission.

"Soon, Train." Creed smiled, "Soon we will be together…"
