Chronos Number Zero's Return

Chapter 2

Train jumped after he yelled her name out loud and inside of her head. He grabbed her before she fell into the creek and jumped back to where Sven and Eve were. Sven took a few looks at her and said, "What happened? We need to get her to a hospital now. Look at all those injuries! She is lucky to be alive!"

"No, she can't go to a hospital; we are taking her back to where we are staying." Train said he wasn't going to take her to a hospital again. That memory he could do without another one. One was enough.

"But, we can't heal her, she needs a hospital!" Sven said again. What was up with Train? Ever since that girl had shown up, he had been acting all weird.

Train turned to Sven, swinging the girl in his arms, he had her bridal style. "Do you want the hospital blown up? Do you want innocent people to die? Tell me Sven!"

Sven had never seen Train like this before. He was upset, more than upset. Sven got the impression that he was holding it all back with limited control. "Not really, but what does that have to do with anything? And Train, what's wrong man? You are acting all weird, are you okay?"

Train gave Sven a look that shouted: do you want to die? "Do I look okay? I'm not! It has everything to do with everything Sven! She goes to a hospital; she will wake up and blow it up! Killing everyone in and around the hospital, I honestly don't want to see that happen again."

They started walking back to where they were staying when Eve went up to Train and asked him something that had been on her mind for a while now. "What is wrong with her? She didn't fall into the creek because of her injuries, did she?"

Sven had a dumb look on his face when he heard Eve say that. Why did he think of that? That had to be a safe question with Train right now, and what's more is he wanted to know.

Train sighed, "Princess, you are right. She didn't fall into the creek because of her injuries. Though it may have been her injuries that caused it, it weakened her control. See, she blocks out her 'gift', with most of her power. She is a Tao master of the mind. And when she is weak and can't hold up that block she starts hearing what you think. And it hurt so much, all the voices that she blacked out. In a way, the injuries were part of the why she fell into the creek."

They were at the house now; Train put her on his bed and sat in the chair beside it. Sven and Eve were right behind him. "Train, I think she needs a bath, and then we can dress her wounds. Eve—" Sven was cut off.

"No, do you want the Princess to die?" Train asked, "Because if she wakes up and finds a girl touching her, all hell will break loose." Train sighed, "I am so not going through that again."

Sven looked applaud as he realized—when Train picked her up and took her to the bathroom—that Train intended to give her a bath himself. "Train, you can't give her a bath! That is…wrong!"

He blocked Train's path, "We should just dress the wounds we can see, other than that wait till she wakes up."

Train gave him another look, it was annoyed, "It isn't the first time I have done this, so just move." Train pushed Sven out of the way and gave her a bath. When he was done, he saw all the wounds on her body and became mad again!

Oh how those wounds angered him so. When he found out who caused them, he was going to kill them slowly, oh so slowly and love every minute of it. He knew that if she had been awake she would have laughed. She would have been happy that he finally thought of something she would do. She had been trying to get him to think like that for years, but to no avail.

He dressed the wounds and put her back on his bed. Sven came in once again, and before he could say anything the girl started talking.

"No Creed, don't kill the girl! Do you realize what would happen if you did that? You would push the Black Cat away. He would hate you, and leave Chronos. You would turn him against you, and I know what you plan to do in a few years. He wouldn't help you, just to throw it in your face he probably would team up with Chronos—even after leaving them—and go after you so he could kill you."

They just stood there, soon Train explained. "I knew it, when she collapses like this, she sometimes has a dream. Dreams of the past, it's a memory that got turned into to a dream—" Train was cut off by the girl talking again.

"Yes, I know that. Black Cat wouldn't leave Chronos as long as I am here. I am warning you here, if you kill that Saya girl…yes I know what she is doing to him…yes I don't like her either…that isn't the point. The point is that if you kill her he will never forgive you, he won't rest until he kills you in revenge. I'm warning you, this is from me, I will leave Chronos if you kill her. Do you not think that I haven't thought about killing her myself? I am a jealous woman Creed. I will not share what is mine. Black Cat is mine, has been since I found him so long ago. But if I kill her, I lose Black Cat, and that is something I will not do."

It seemed Creed was talking to her, he talked to her before but she replied right back, now she was listening to everything.

"If that is what you want, I will not stop you. You and Black Cat, I don't think I have ever been able to deny you what you want. You two are special to me and always will be. When you do kill her Creed, tell Black Cat this. I am leaving Chronos, I will be gone for while, both of you play nice while I am gone, I won't be here to pick up your shit."

She started breathing heavily after that, Train sat down beside the bed in the chair. Sven couldn't understand what just happened, what did she say mean? Was this the past, a memory like Train said just a few minutes ago? And what did she mean, Train was hers? It was all very confusing, so Sven had to ask.

"You knew her in Chronos did you?" Sven asked.

Train nodded, "I have known her since I was a child. She taught me how to fight, how to survive, how to kill. She got me into to Chronos, and stayed with me, till the night when Creed killed Saya. You heard what she said. She left me, she was right you know. I would have stayed… as long as she was there. She made Chronos bearable, it was because of her that I survived that long—" Train couldn't say anymore, the girl started to moan; it seemed she had woken up.

She opened her eyes, and blinked. Her eyes were cold and calculating, just like before at the creek. She turned to Sven and looked him over. Train's voice cut through her inspection.

"It's okay, he is with me." Train's voice was soft and gentle, like he was speaking to a child. Sven knew right then that Train really cared for this girl. Train turned to Sven and the look said, 'please go' and Sven complied. He left the room, he left them alone. But he and Eve sat down outside the room and were listening.

"Are you okay?" Train asked her. She smiled and laughed, the laugh turned into a cough. Train sighed, "You aren't okay. When was the last time you slept? And this doesn't count."

The girl gave him a look that said what she said, "Dang it Kitty, I was going to say that too."

"That was why I said it." Train laughed.

You could hear the girl go hmph, "Honestly? I don't remember, but tell me do you ever remember the last time I slept?"

Train shook his head, "I won't ask you what happened till you get more sleep okay? Just get some rest, little girlie."

The girl sighed, "Kitty, why is it always you who is talking care of me? Every time I turn around, too. I am supposed to be taking care of you; I mean I am your Guardian…I think. I used to be, how old are you anyway now? Last time I checked you were what younger than ten; I know you're older then that now."

Train laughed, "Yes, I am older than ten, I think I am twenty-three, though that is nothing on your age is it?"

She hit him on the arm. "Hey! Don't say that, technically, we don't know how old I am. I don't even know. I think I lost count after eighteen...' she trailed off.

"And when was that, a couple of centuries ago?" Train joked, knowing it probably was true. It earned him another hit on his arm. It just made him laugh even more.

She finally stopped hitting him. The hitting him, it seemed that it proved useless, so she stopped. What was the point of doing it when it didn't work? It was no point.

The girl stopped talking for a few minutes, she was thinking and to Train that never was a good thing. It meant she was planning something. Or she was just about to do something stupid, but to her it was fun.

The girl asked, "Kitty?"

Train replied, "Yeah?"

"I just remembered something…I'm…sorry." She whispered. She turned over in the bed and covered herself with the covers. Train didn't understand what was going on. He pulled the covers off of her and made her sit up. He honestly didn't know what to do to make her tell him, for he knew that something was wrong and she had to confess. Was it what he heard earlier? The conversation she had with Creed before he killed Saya?

He picked her up and sat her in his lap, just like he used to do before…after she had one of those nightmares, God were they horrible. He had seen one too, he had tried to wake her up from one and he was pulled into it.

She grabbed him and hugged him, he hugged her back. He told her, "Shh, it's okay. Just tell me, I won't hate you. I understand you okay? Just tell me."

She nodded, and leaned into him, her legs were across his lap. She put her face into his neck and got the courage to tell him. She pulled her face out and turned her head away from him.

"Do you remember that night your parents died? I knew your parents, that meeting that went to, I was in there, and I was there on an assignment. I was there to kill one person, and get out. And that was what I did, I killed the leader of meeting, it wasn't one of your parents you know that. I walked off after that, for some reason where I went, I ending up hearing someone call for a hit on your parents. I didn't do anything; you know how I use to be back then."

She took a breath and she started choking up. He held her to him, and told her to breath. She did, she wanted to finish. They both knew she had to finish.

"I had turned the wrong way, to get out of that place, it was like a maze. I turned around and walked right by your parents, I knew that they were the ones on the hit call I heard moments ago. I heard them talking about Train, about you Kitty. I just keep on walking, not really thinking till I was like half a mile away from them. Then it hit me, your name, and your face, everything about you. I saw you, I saw your future, and I saw me right next to you in my vision. I didn't hear your name during that hit call, but I knew the reputation of the one who was doing the hit. I ran, when I found you, your parents were dead and the hit man was going to kill you next. I think I snapped a little, he died anyway."

She laughed, "I didn't have to look for you, and you ran to me. You had blood on you, I had to take you from there and take that blood off of you. I knew that it wouldn't be the last time you had blood on you. That was what started everything. I was supposed to take care of you, train you. Make sure you were able to live in the cruel, disgusting world of ours. And I think I—"

Her voice cut off, it seemed she fell asleep. He chuckled and gently laid her on the bed, covered her up and kissed her forehead. "You always took care of me, now let me take care of you."
