BLACK CAT 13

CHAPTER 2: BLACK GUN (part 2)

As the evening dawns to night, Rinslet, being nicely dressed was waiting outside the school entrance. When she took a peek at her watch, a boy rushed over and yelled out to her.

Boy: "Rinslet. I'm here."

Rinslet: "Humph… You're 5 minutes late, umm… Kawatachi?"

Simon: "At least remember my name. It's Simon." (Said it with tears.)

Rinslet: "Ahh, don't worry about it. So where do you plan to taking me?"

Simon: "I was thinking we take a nice stroll around the park and then have dinner I set up."

Rinslet : (Ugh… another boring date. Oh well, I guess a free dinner isn't bad. Still…)

Rinslet: "Why don't we go to a shopping mall instead? I heard there's a sale."

Simon: "Ok… I guess."

Rinslet: "Great! Let's go."

Meanwhile, at a certain orphanage, Train was all dressed up in his room. Right next to him was a newspaper with the headline of 5 missing school girls. When he put on his black jacket, he looked at the black cat outside his window.

Train: "Let's go."

After a while, Rinslet was doing window shopping where else Simon was carrying a bunch of shopping bags.

Simon: "Do you really need to buy so many? I mean, do you have the money for it?"

Rinslet: "Of course! I have this." (As she showed her credit card while an image of Jenos showed behind)

Simon: "I see."

Rinslet: "By the way, when are we eating? It's getting late and you did reserve dinner, right?

Simon: "Don't worry. Take all the time you want. It's gonna be a feast."

Rinslet nodded with a smile but she knew she couldn't trust his words after that.

Rinslet: (Maybe I'll skip this date by using No.3.)

After they exit the shopping mall, Rinslet put her hands on her stomach and pretend to have a stomachache.

Simon: "Are you okay?"

Rinslet: "I...I'm okay. I just had a stomachache. I don't think I can go with you any longer."

Simon: "I guess so… Want me to walk you home?

Rinslet: "No, it's okay. I can carry all these stuff now. They're not that heavy."

Simon: "If you say so."

Rinslet: "Ok. Bye."

Rinslet then went off to a nearby taxi as Simon wave his hand goodbye. However, he then showed an evil like grin on his face.

As the taxi drive her way home, Rinslet quickly take her phone and called Train, but no one picked up.

Rinslet: (Humph… And to think I want to treat him to dinner. Oh well.)

Suddenly, a werewolf-like figure stands in front of the taxi. When the taxi driver saw it, he quickly horned. However, instead of moving away, the werewolf moves straight into the taxi. The taxi driver tried to make a sharp turn when there was no other car.

The figure then put up his hand where his claws appeared and then slashed the taxi, leaving a huge scratch in both the taxi, and the driver. The taxi then crashed into a nearby pole. When the werewolf looked inside the taxi, he only noticed the driver bleeding, some torn clothes but no Rinslet.

The moment the werewolf had slashed the taxi, Rinslet had escaped in time. She quickly run away as fast as possible. Rinslet was frightened the whole time and didn't know what to do. She dare not look behind. Without a thought, she quickly reached her school.

She quickly climbed up the locked school gate and went into the school. Suddenly, by the time she entered, Simon appeared.

Rinslet: "Simon, what are you doing here?"

Simon: "I should be the one asking the question."

Simon: "What were you trying to do?" (As he showed her called entry which the last one was Train after the date.)

Rinslet then realized that she left her phone in the taxi, but also wondered how he had got it.

Rinslet: "Well….that's…umm…."

Simon: "Tell me… why?"

Rinslet: "Huh?"

Simon: "WHY!"

Rinslet became even more frighten and started to back away, but just the same, Simon slowly marched at her.

Simon: "I could have given you anything you want. Money, clothes, ANYTHING!"

Rinslet: "Anything?..." (At the same, an image of a woman who look like is dying appeared in her mind. She clenched her teeth at the same time.)

Simon: "I admired you Rinslet. You are the most beautiful girl I ever met. Even after I knew about how you treat man, I still want you! Yet why… Why do prefer those two guys? Why did you run away from me?"

Rinslet: "…Isn't it obvious?"

Simon then stayed silently to hear her answer.

Rinslet: "Compare to the other boys, those two are special to me. Jenos is an idiot for giving me his credit card, but even so, I'm kind enough to use 10% of it."

Simon: "Tch…"

Rinslet: "Train, however, has always been around me since we're kids. We support each other no matter what. I can always trust him. Unlike some boys…"

Simon: "Huh?"

Rinslet: "Don't play dumb. Your actions so far on our date have been weird since the beginning. How do you think I manage to play all this time?"

Simon stayed silently for a while but then…

Simon: "hehehe…hahaha…HAHAHAHAHA… YOU WERE RIGHT!"

Rinslet begin to panic even more. She grew scared by the second as she sees fur coming out of his body.

Simon: "To be honest… I really doubt that you will become mine. Since you won't become mine, I'll just make you a part of me. We'll be together forever."

He became the same werewolf that attacked earlier.

Rinslet: "You're the one from before… But how?" (Said frightenly)

Simon: "Now our body will become one… PERMANENTLY!"

He rushed to Rinslet with his fangs and claws as Rinslet became frozen in fear.

Just before he reached her, he was shot. 2 shots on each leg and on the back. Simon fell down right in front of Rinslet. As Rinslet was able to move, she looked on top of the rooftop and saw Train with a black gun.

Train: "Phew… Where the hell were you!? I've been waiting for hours just to capture you!"

Rinslet: "Tr…Train!?"

Simon: "Ughh…Train?"

Train: "Boy, Rins you really make my work a hassle! I was looking around the park and school for this guy! If I had known his target was you, I would have eaten more than a rice ball!"

Rinslet: "Wh…Why you're here…or more importantly, what…"

Train then look down on the black cat next to him.

Train: "Kuro, keep her safe."

The cat, Kuro nodded. As both of them jumped down from the roof, as reach the ground safely, Kuro immediately pounced to Rinslet, grabbing by her collar and bring her to a nearby wall for safety.

Rinslet: "This cat managed to carry me!?" (With a shock on her face)

Kuro: "Go, Train."

Rinslet: "And did he just talked!?" (Even more shocked)

Simon then got up as Train walk towards him. Train then kicked him right in the chin, sending Simon further away from him but Simon managed to land on his feet. He then got shocked at Train appearance.

Simon: "A black jacket, a black-decorated gun and a XIII tattoo engraved on the chest." (As he look closer.)

Train: "Judging by how you look, I'd say I'm famous."

Simon: "Who'd knew that the Sweeper 'Black Cat' was so close this whole time? And you of all people."

Train: "I'm not sure I want to hear that tone from an Eraser."

Rinslet: (Sweeper? Eraser? Black Cat? What are they talking about?)

Kuro: "Focus! If you want to stay alive, then pay attention!"

Kuro words manage to wake Rinslet up into reality. There was no way of escaping as all routes have been sealed. All she can do is watch.

Simon: "Heh, I got an idea."

Train: "What?"

Simon: "Why not left me off the hook? It's obvious that I'm the winner here and…"

Train: "No!" (Said it straight)

Simon/ Rinslet/ Kuro: (Too Fast!)

Train: "I admit when I saw you coming through the back and Rins in the front, I thought she was in trouble and could use a good lecture. And boy, did she made a fool out of herself the whole time!"

Rinslet: (This guy!) (Pissed)

Train: "But if she's the fool, wouldn't that make you a world class idiot?"

Simon: "What!?"

Train: "Chasing a girl that you know would give you trouble, and when she did not care about you, you just go and eat them. But what sick is that you've done this before and haven't learned yet. You really have been corrupted."

Simon stayed silently as he gets angered for every word Train talked.

Train: "It was a mistake to watch you frighten Rins this much! Now… I'm pissed."

Rinslet blushed a little after hearing that.

Train: "As for that confidence of yours, let's see how long you can hold it." (As he points his gun at him.)

Simon did not say anything but instead he howled as if he's ready to fight.

Train: "Watch out…"

An image of the man pointing his gun at Train 10 years ago appeared in his mind.

Train: "…I'm about to deliver bad luck."
