Chronos Number Zero's Return
Chapter 1-She's back, the girl who once meant so much to her Kitty.
Eve, Sven, and Train all sat in silence. Every since that lady and that guy left Train had been staring at the window and Eve was starting to get worried. She had never really seen Train this quiet before. He was always so hyper, so fun, he was really like a cat.
A rock hit the window and Train froze. The one who threw the rock…was it her…had she come back to him? The woman who left him as soon as he left the Chronos Organization? The woman who made him think of going back to the Chronos Organization after he left?
Whoever it was had gone, they were on the move and he just had to find out if it was her or not. He opened the window and jumped out. He had no time to think or run through the house. Sven and Eve were confused, but they were right on his heels.
As Train ran through the city he knew it was familiar. He had been her before…and it was with her too. This was where he had his first mission as a Chronos Number.
FLASHBACK
"Black Cat, good you are early for you first mission. We will give Chronos Number Three his mission first, and then you will have yours. Just stand back in the shadows, here Number Three comes now."
Black Cat did as he was told, he couldn't really see Number Three, but he didn't really want to. He just wanted his mission. He wanted something to do.
"Good, Number Three you are here. You're Mission—" Number Three never heard it because someone else showed up. Heels could be heard as they approached them. Black Cat soon could see who it was, it was a woman.
She had a black leather jacket like he had on. Her shirt was black as midnight except she had a thin strip of cloth that was blood red going across her breasts. She had black pants the same as the shirt; she had a blood red skirt over it. Her eyes were red, but he knew that when she got mad they would turn black. Same as her hair, but her hair was red, and really red.
It was her, but why was she here? Is this where she said they would meet again and soon too? His thoughts were interrupted, when the one handing out missions spoke. "It seems you have heard of this mission. Do you choose to take it on? You have that right, or did you come for another mission? Or just to chat, but that isn't like you, is it...is it Akki Ankoku?"
The girl smirked, it made Number Three back away, and that smirk alone sent chills down his spine. He never did like this woman. The girl nodded, "I thought it sounded…fun. So I came, so what are the details?"
The mission giver chuckled, "You are always excited when you actually come for a mission. The details are highly classified, even for our Chronos. I am glad that you, Chronos Number Zero, Kuro Majo have taken it—do you have to have so many damn names? Anyway I wanted Number One to take it, but she was already assigned to a mission. You are the better choice."
As the girl started to walk away, Number Three spoke up for the first time since he came into the room. "Master, shouldn't Number Zero, the Konton Sennin, have a partner or someone to back her up on a mission as important as this?"
The Demon of Darkness froze; she slowly turned around and looked at Number three with an eyebrow raised, "Do you not think I can complete this mission by myself Number Three? Just because YOU would need a partner doesn't mean I, Chronos Number Zero, the Chaos Fairy, need one. I am not as weak as you are."
She said it calmly, but you could hear the threat in there. The only one who was afraid in that room was Black Cat, for he had heard her threats before and weren't scared of them. He knew that she would never hurt him.
They heard a laugh, "Of course you don't need a partner but don't you think it will be fun? And this time Chronos Number Zero, don't walk away without the mission details and then come back and interrupt the next mission assignment."
The Dark Witch sighed, "Fine, give me someone I have never worked with or I don't know. That stupid ass buffoon over there calling himself Number Three needs to go back to training. If it takes awhile to find one, just him the detail folder, he can find me later."
The girl walked just a few steps, when the laugh was heard again. "You really are bold, you walk around like you own the place and in essence you do. You are one of the founding leaders of Chronos, and you rank too. The top rank in fact, but sadly you just come and go as you please, doing things that only interest you. It is sad, do you realize how much you could do if you would just fully apply yourself to Chronos?"
The girl shrugged, "I honestly don't care. I don't really want to be in Chronos, it is just someone to do. I do want I want to when I want to. Sometimes I will be a Sweeper, sometimes I will be a regular hire for trade assassin. Sometimes I like to live in the spotlight and work for IBI. Other times I just become a regular evil person who people want to put a bounty on and then they wind up dead soon after…wonder why?"
"Sigh; fine do what you want…you always do anyway. Your partner for this mission, what do you think about our newest recruit? "
The girl looked up and blinked; her glaze got colder as she heard the name. It didn't go unnoticed thought.
"His name is Kuro Neko, his rank is Number Thirteen. This is just too funny, the Dark Witch and her Black Cat, her familiar, what a great partnership. So what do you think, you want him?"
The girl just stood there for a second, then turned around and walked off. The mission giver chuckled, and looked at Black Cat. "It seems she likes you. Here take this details folder for your next mission, and go after her. Hope you're ready, she is a fast one, so be prepared to be amazed little Black Cat."
Black Cat got the details folder and met her outside the Chronos building. When he got there she gave him a look and he searched through the folder and grabbed a piece of paper. Taking one look at the name of the city, she started moving.
He raced after her; after all it wasn't much of a race he was used to her speed after all. Once they were away from the Chronos building she found a car and they got in and headed for the city.
Silence filled the car till they got to the city and he handed her the details folder. She chuckled as she read it. She looked around Black Cat again and opened her arms out. He didn't run, but walked into them and hugged her. She squeezed him, oh how she missed him these past months…or was it a year? Time flies, she couldn't remember when she left him to Chronos.
"So how is my little Kitty doing? It's been a while since I have seen you, have they been treating you well? Did you miss me?"
He laughed at her, "Of course I missed you, who wouldn't? I just miss when it used to be the two of us. But tell me I have always wondered this, how come you haven't aged? And how come you're in the Chronos Organization?"
The girl looked at him with soft eyes and giggled, "Later my little Kitty, first the mission then when we get back I will treat you to late night dinner, I would cook, but you have said over and over I can't, so."
The girl looked a little offended, but the Black Cat knew otherwise. She was just teasing him, he just couldn't see how people were scared of her, she was just so nice and when she held you she was soft. He remembers many a night when he was a child, on the streets where she would just hold him while he tried to fall asleep. She was so gentle with him, how could she be so evil like people have said?
She touched his face to bring him back to reality, thought God knew and everyone else did that she hated reality. She told him about their mission. There was a meeting tonight of rebels, there had to be over two hundred or around there of rebels in the house. Their mission: to kill them all and destroy the plans they had stolen this afternoon.
The people they were rebelling against didn't care about them till the stole those documents. If the girl thought about it she would have asked where every rebel there. She read more of the file and it answered her question. This was a major meeting, so yeah everyone would be there, but to make sure there was a role call—why a rebel group would have a role call was the stupidest thing she heard of, but that was the point. The point was if someone wasn't checked off for being there she was to go and find them and kill them. After they were done with destroying the document, the people, they were to do something that was really fun for her. That was the thing that made her want to do it in the first place.
They entered the house quietly; they had been trained after all in the art of sneakiness. Okay, so they weren't, but it was still correct really…mostly. Anyway, when they got to where the meeting was taking place, she signaled to him. She asked if he remembered where he was supposed to go and he nodded.
It seemed they had just gotten there as soon as the meeting started. So that meant that they would have to stay there and be bored till ALL the names were called and organized. Finally, after what had seemed like forever…to her at least they had finished the roll call. It seemed a couple of rebels were missing.
The Black Cat looked over at her and saw her smile and silently clapping. He sighed, she would never change. Out of all the years he had known her, since he was a child and still now after he entered the Chronos Organization and was a Number, she still was the same. Years had passed since he last saw her and yet here she was still being childish.
He heard the rumors about Chronos Number Zero, she was the best assassin the World had ever seen, and had no weakness. Yet to him she was a childish girl who had lots of weaknesses. That was since she met him. Ever since she met him she had slowly changed he knew that, he could tell. He knew that he was one of her weaknesses. It was totally impossible to him how he had become one of main weakness.
He had totally control over her and that was big. He knew that she broke some of her rules, by just being near him. She started to care for him. He knew that he was the only family she had left, so yeah she cared for him and it was the same way for him. He promised himself when he learned just how much she depended on him—not the other way around, here he thought that he was the one depended on her—that he would get stronger, he would be really strong, just so he could protect her. So he would never let anyone or anything use him to get to her.
That was one of the reasons why he entered Chronos, so he would get strong. And with everything she taught him, he was good to go. Thought she would always say he was better with a gun then she was he knew she was no amateur herself. He knew that she had mastered many fighting styles, many weapons and many ways to kill people, but to him the thing she could beat anyone in was swords. That or using her mind, apparently she was a master of the mind.
He shook off his thoughts and got back to the mission, this wasn't the time to get side tracked. He would fail this mission, he wouldn't let her down. He looked at her, waiting for the signal. These people were stupid, having their electrical fuse box so close to them. This was going to be a piece of cake.
She gave the signal and he moved and cut the electricity, everything went black. They panicked and this was just perfect setting for the slaughter. She jumped down and pulled out her swords and started killing them. She tossed something to him and he caught it. It was a silencer made for Hades.
He chose that time to remember that this was a sneaky mission…it was what she called it anyway. So they had to be careful, the grand finale was big so they didn't need anyone here before that was through.
Oh she was having fun, he knew that the last one was dead when she called out, "Kitty," that was when he turned the lights back on. A massacre really did happen. All the bodies on the floor, there were a lot of them. He knew that the ones he killed were enacted and whole. Her kills on the other hand, were all bloody and some of the limbs had…somehow gotten unattached. Wonder how that happened.
He sighed when he saw her, "Do you always have to get all bloody? I mean I KNOW you can use your swords without getting blood on you, I have seen you do it. So what was the problem?"
She shrugged, "I haven't gotten out in a crowd like this and just let loose since…I think three years ago or was it five? Anyway I was at this party, political the Chronos ass wipes wanted me to do. Anyway, apparently there were spies there, an unknown count. They send Numbers Zero through Three or Four. We found out that the whole party was secretly the spy meeting thingy. I don't know about them, but I had a hell of a time. So much fun! Now let's finish here…I think I am hungry. Then I go sleepy sleepy."
Black Cat sighed, he wasn't going to ask her the last time she ate something. Or the last time she slept, it was useless; she would probably just say I can't remember. Not the eating part of course, which probably was three days ago tops…five max.
They found the documents that were stolen and the Black Cat was finding the rest of them. The girl was looking at them strange; Kitty noticed her look and asked what she was reading. She closed her eyes and sighed.
"These stupid rebels they were trying to do something stupid. It involved using Tao, damn it! Why can't this people realize they can't use it! These formulas…aren't even correct for making the drink thingy!" her eyes were full of fury as she said those words. Kitty had never really seen her that angry, not in a good long while. Oh she was mad; it seemed that anything involved with Tao got her mad or something.
It struck both of them at that moment, she looked at Train. "That was why he wanted someone of higher rank to do it. We have no need of Tao, we understand it at least. He knew from the beginning that I was going to accept the mission. Damn bastard!" She clenched her right fist. Oh she was mad; one of the things she hated and it was being used or played. Train knew that when she gave that man hell for what he did they were going to need a funeral service paid for and ready by the time she was through with him.
He did the only thing he could do; he went up to her and put his hand on her arm. It seemed that brought her back. She sighed, one look from her and he knew she was tried. Black Cat gathered all the documents that involved Tao and folding them up and gave them to her. She put them away somewhere and he didn't look where. Thought it didn't really matter, it wasn't like she cared if he saw.
That got the names and the address for the seven that weren't there. This was her favorite part now; she got to burn the place down. It showed those that wanted to rebel what happened when you did it. She honestly didn't really care about that stuff, she just wanted to play and burning down the house was her idea of fun.
Train and her gathered burnable materials and put it at key points in the house. Poured the wine, beer, any alcohol they could find and they went to the center. The liquid formed a lined between all the burnable places and the fire would travel to them fast. That was how they burned the house down, quickly too.
She gave Train three of the names and she took the other four. In less the a half an hour they were through and meet by the car. This was one of Train's favorite times. She was going to do the game thing again.
She sat on the hood of the car and he stood in front of her. "How many did you get? There were a total of two hundred of fifty rebels, two forty three were in the house and we found seven that weren't there. You know it isn't any fun when their clean freaks and those kinds of people that love even numbers and patterns, you know what I mean."
He grinned, "Like you with the patterns and even numbers?" She blushed and waved him off, "How many, you are getting off topic Kitty!"
He chuckled, "I got a total of one twenty…something" she frowned. He knew that she counted, but didn't count at the same time. She was being lazy now and would just subtract what he had from the total and that was what she had. It was so fun to tease her.
"Fine, since you want tell me I will assume, since you said, one twenties. I think we had a tie. Great job! I guess you like Hades huh?"
He nodded, as he looked over the fun he noticed something, the handwriting…it was the same as the tattoo she had. He knew for a fact, that she had given him his tattoo number. He laughed at himself, how could he not notice?
He looked at her, "You made Hades didn't you?" She nodded, "I make all the weapons, as well as put the tattoos on you guys."
Which made him start to think, he knew where hers was…but how did she do that? He just had to ask, "How did you get your tattoo on you? Sure it is a letter…you also have the Arabic Zero on you, but still. How did you get it there, to write there is kind of hard you know?"
She nodded, she agreed with him, "It was hard, too me years…that as why I had the Zero someplace else. I have the N, for there is no Zero is the Roman Numerals—that N means nullea, for there is no Zero is Roman Numerals. It was hard putting an N on my boob. Very hard, but I did it, all by myself too! As for the Zero, now talk about hard…"
He gave her a look and she sighed, "Ok, it wasn't that hard, the boob one was harder but I want to see you put a pretty Zero on your chest. It is on the opposite side of yours, but still as pretty!"
He laughed, she was still going on about it being pretty she would never change. He hoped she would never change. Before they went home she wanted to go see someplace in this city. Someone once upon a time—like a month or so ago, less than six—told her it was beautiful. Kitty didn't care, he was still getting to eat, just alter so they went.
END OF FLASHBACK
He knew that was where she was going; she was going to the lake, not far from the house they burned down. Had it been so long ago, that she revealed to him something so important? It was because of that reason that that he knew she was there.
The way she was moving, something was wrong. She had been seen, usually he barely sees her, this time he saw everything, all of her and she didn't look right. Something defiantly was wrong. He ran as fast as he could to the stream, creek whatever it was called.
FLASHBACK
"Kitty, doesn't it look beautiful? As I sit here with you, I feel so safe, so at peace. There are very few places that make me feel like this, and you know it. It just isn't the place you know, that is just a small factor. I could feel safe, at peace in a room full of people trying to kill me. Do you know why Kitty?"
Train sat and thought about it, he kept on going over her second sentence, 'As I sit here with you, I feel so safe, so at peace.' That was it, he looked at her and smiled, "I am flattered, girlie."
She giggled and leaned into him, and they just sat like this while he pondered over what she had said. He had one question running thought his head like crazy. How could she, who had such strong will, who everyone was afraid of, an invincible girl. Someone no one could hurt, touch, the perfect killer and yet when she was around him. She just completely lost her killing demeanor and was her true self.
A simple little girl, who loves to play around, so innocent, you would have never thought that she was the top assassin at Chronos…that was when she showed up. She had see stuff no one should see, and from what she told him before she had seen death, murder, betrayal everything since she was a child. Apparently, her parents put her through that Tao ritual thing and her mental abilities came out full force.
He knew she hated sympathy, but concerning him and someone else they could do no wrong. Kitty and the other guy were the only ones who could do the things they did to her and still live. One of those things was teasing her and sometimes that teasing got out of hand. But they knew she would never hurt them. She would never hurt him or Creed. It was like they were a close nit little family.
After about half an hour they left the water and went to eat. After they ate, she headed off the wrong direction and he knew that she wasn't going to sleep again tonight. He sighed and grabbed her and pulled her back to his house. Once in there he made her go to sleep.
END OF FLASHBACK
Train didn't even notice the Sven and Eve running after him and keeping up quite well too. His mind was only focusing on one thing, her. Damn, why couldn't he remember how to get to these places? He sighed and stood still, in his haste he had forgotten what he could do. It was sad, but he and Creed both were attached to this girl more than they should be. He breathed in and out, concentrating his chi, he could always find her, it didn't matter where she was or where he was.
He found her, but what the hell? This couldn't be her life...this couldn't be her chi, it was too weak. He was right, something was really wrong. He had to find her quickly, before something bad happened, he could just feel it.
He ran with everything he had, he had to get there really fast. Her life was fading and fast and he was…breaking. Somehow the knowledge of knowing that if he didn't hurry, that she was hurt and dying just made something inside of him break. He vowed that if it was a person who did this—it couldn't have been, she would have killed them before they laid a hand or her...or not depending what they had on her—even if it was a person, he was going to kill them, torture them whatever it took to get his revenge.
He finally was at the water, he saw a woman, and she had reddish brown hair…that wasn't her hair. Her clothes were ripped in so many places, blood was dripping from. He knew it was her then, he would know her anywhere, the blood as so natural on her to him. Something was out of place thought, she was leaning on one leg—her right—and she was holding her left arm, with her right.
Her shirt…was so dirty, mixed with blood, sweat, and dirt. The same with her pants, they were ripped to where they looked like shorts or a mini skirt. Blood, mixed with dirt was running down her legs. It was her blood; it wasn't only running down her legs, her arms as well.
It made Train so mad, someone had hurt her; someone had hurt someone precious to him. He didn't have much time to think of how mad he was anymore when she suddenly turned around. Her blood red eyes were cold and calculating as she was analyzing the people behind him. He turned around, his glaze going between the girl and his friends.
The look in her eyes, she was assessing them, trying to gauge their power and the threat they were to her. She must have been really beaten to be doing that, and being so oblivious about it. She then turned to him, and her eyes softened. She smiled, she looked so gentle, so innocent, and who would have thought that a minute ago she was determining whether or not she should kill Eve and Sven?
This was the girl he had known since she found him on the streets after his parents died. The only thing out of place was the bruises, blood, and ripped clothes. Her hair was matted, dirty and didn't look like it should, hell she didn't look like she should.
She held her good arm out, her right one and held it straight out toward him, her voice just a little hoarse, but it was the same one he had known years ago. "Kitty? Is that my little Kitty? I thought you said you would never leave—"
She stopped talking, her head was pounding again. It hurt a lot, and she couldn't handle it, not like the last time. She kept hearing things; her had flown to her hand as she listened to the voices.
What is wrong with this girl? Why was Train running after her? Does he know her? She knew it was the man behind her Kitty. She blocked it out, she didn't want to hear any more of what he was saying. He was a idiot, and he deserved to be blocked out.
The next voice made her want to kill the girl, for she knew it was the girl's voice. She hated pity and sympathy. They were disgusting, only weak fools needed that. Is she going to be okay? She is all bloody, poor thing. She looks to be around fifteen or so, eighteen tops, she should be looking like that. We need to get her to the hops…
She had to block that one out, too much pity, lucky for her she had only one voice left. It was Kitty's, she loved Kitty's voice. Girlie, come to me okay? Get your little ass over here; I want to take you home okay?
She was so glad, that his voice didn't show pity, though they both knew that she would have just laughed at his. He was her special Kitty, how could she be mad at him for worrying about her? It was his job, just like it was hers to worry about him.
She nodded; not blocking his voice out, it soothed her. She tried to walk toward him, but nothing had ever gone as she had planned, so why should this? She fell, she put too much pressure on her right leg and she fell, backwards into the water.
Before the darkness took her she heard two people shouting, two inside her head and only one outside. Those voices, heehee she always loved to hear them scream after her. She loved to hear them scream her name.
