Author's Note: Hey guys I am back again, not much to say for this chapter but I'm certain it is quarter way through. Anyway please REVIEW.

Chapter 4:

Eve gave him a beaming smile and pulled him into the warehouse…….

Several hours later……

"Okay Jenos, you can come out now…!"

"Oh…Eve, how do I look like?"

Jenos was now currently wearing a dull white color shirt with baggy pants which make him fidget slightly.

"You look good, just like a commoner…"

"Are you sure, do I look weird…?"

"Oh not at all…you look fine…how do you feel?"

"Great! These clothes are light so I can move faster than wearing my normal clothing…man these commoners had it good, I love their clothing, rich clothes suck for me!"

Eve could only laugh at his comments.

"Anyways come on, is getting late…"

"Right, shall we…?"

"Yes lets…!"

They went through Eve's normal routine and was gone within seconds. Through Eve's guidance they soon found themselves at the center of the town where all the shops were. Jenos was impressed, he too, had never seen this part of town, probably was more like he wasn't allowed to. It was night time, the shops with their candle lights had light up the dark street and the sight was indeed breath taking. He slowly walked through the pavement, keenly observing the villages' behavior and manners.

And through his observation, he could conclude quite an intresting fact.Though the villagers do not have the appropriate manners and behavior, they are content with what life had to offer them, yet the royalty is so different. Each night I go to bed hoping that I would fall into perpetual sleep as the next day we had to attend more parties and important events. Life in the palace is so dull; life should not be like this. The people often comment on the royalty's riches but they are wrong……….they should realized in life that they are the lucky ones.

Jenos sighed deeply.

"Is something the matter, Jenos?"

"N…no…nothing just brooding…nothing to worry about…"

"Very well then."

Eve continued walking with Jenos following behind closely in fear of getting lost. He looked at more shops and each minute that past he felt gladder that he had the chance to come out. He came to a complete stop in front of a restaurant. Eve just sighed and walked on, she was sure that her bother could take care of himself. Jenos looked inside and saw several couples dining there, some were young and others old. This image hit Jenos hard in the head. He felt envious of these couples, oh sure, he was an obviously-skilled womanizer. The only problem was up till this day he had not found his soul mate, he was tired of finding yet he knew it was vital for one to have a soul mate. "When is it going to be my turn…?"

A currently peeved Train was currently walking down the street with a cheerful Rin latching herself on his arm. Rin was one of his people, just a rank lower than Train, Rin was definitely not Train's opponent but Rin's skill, pick pocketing, had somehow managed to boost her rank up. Though they were different ranks, Rin was probably, Train's closest friend. And not many would disturb her even if she was a girl; for one thing no one could outmatch her in her deadly skill, pick pocketing.

The other reason was because she was closely associated with none other than 'Black Cat' himself. Though many hated Train for Creed's attention towards him but they knew that Train deeply cared for Rin's friendship, and if he were to find out that they bullied her, they definitely won't lived to see the next day. Though Train found Rin annoying sometime, but she could easily cheered him up when he was depressed then again he was always depressed, doesn't make much difference and that's was why Train was so fond of her.

Earlier that day, Rin was somehow convinced that the day would be good for her. She hadn't been pick pocketing lately with the raids and all, and was pretty enthusiastic about going out. She had also somehow managed to convince Train to join her, which was always an impossible task. So in the cool and quiet night they headed for the center of the town where business was always good for Rin. They had been walking for quite a while, and finally Rin spotted a suitable candidate, a man in front of a restaurant with a distracted look on his face, he was a perfect target! Rin, feeling excited, decided to observe her surroundings for any signs of other people if wouldn't do well for her if she was found out.

Train knowing the look on Rin's face knows it too well what it had meant and searched for the victim, he spotted the man and silently sighed to himself with a pitying look on his face. Poor bastard…say farewell to your wallet…Train just shoved his cold hands into his long coat and proceeds to walk off leaving Rin to do whatever she wants. He decided to go on the rooftops and rest, he hadn't done that for a long time, things had been pretty hectic with Eve and Creed. He was thankful that Rin had decided to ask him out. He need not to worry about her as she could whistle for him or call him when she was in trouble; Train would then immediately rush to her side to save her without creating much of a commotion. He lightly chuckled to himself when he once remembered what happened when they were both still young, perhaps six years ago? He could still remember the day was raining heavily. There was when Rin and Train had first met. Rin had gone out to try her luck, but at that time Rin wasn't so skilled yet.

Flashback

Train was coming back from a task that involves killings to be done, and of that Train was highly exhausted. His foul mood didn't lighten up when the day decided to be mean to him by raining. He needed to get home fast to report his task status to Creed, however he wasn't bothered to, the rain was making his coat heavier by every minute, making it harder for Train. He didn't want to risk having a fractured neck if he were to suddenly slipwhile running.So in the end, he just walked on. He was a bloody mess, blood was spluttered on his coat and he didn't want anyone to see him in this kind of state. What would a person think if they saw a child covered with blood, several reasonsfor sure. He felt cold and wanted to have a bath as his hair covering his face was also partly stain too.

His wish, however, was not granted as he heard a piercing scream. He cursed out loud, his instinctthan forced his body to turn towards the other way, with keen senses he headed towards the direction. It took quite a while for him to reach the unknown destination as the alleys ways were like a maze to him. When Train arrived at the scene, the sight that met him was disturbing and alarming. A girl was surrounded by a group of men, and that was not all but what was more disturbing was the men had held a tight grip on to her rag clothes, ready to tear them apart if Train hadn't came to interrupt. All attention was diverted towards him when he arrived; the men immediately stopped their actions wondering who their rude intruder was.

Young Train curse silently as it was obvious that whoever this girl was had mixed with the wrong people for that particular night. Then Train noticed, a tattoo made up of several lines was graced on the upper part of the girl hand and seeing that he knew immediately what had happened but he couldn't run straight to conclusions, he might be wrong, who knows? Train immediately knocked away the man who was standing the closest to the girl with his gun and pointed at the man right between his eyes; with a glare so deadly it was surprising that the man did not dropped dead. He made sure that he was standing between the group of men and the girl to avoid chaos.. Oh how he hated to be at the center…!

Train lowered his voice making sure that he can't be heard except for the young thief,

"…Are you all right…?"

"…Yes…who are you…?"

Through this conversation, Train managed to make out the features that belong to the girl. She had shoulder-length purple hair, with the clearest green eyes Train had ever seen, she was a pretty lady, and in the rain she looks like a pure angel possibility because she was in a white dress.

"…Are…you a thief…?"

"……Yes…how did you know…?"

"Questions can be answered later for now just listen to me…understand..?"

She nodded knowing the best, though she was impressed at his answer.

The men was surprise, all right, mainly at the speed of Train, the gun which was held in front of him and the blood that covered his clothes, no normal kid walked around with blood-stain clothes while holding an actual gun. Seeing Train because of his small size, the men laughed out loud, a particular man stood out, with amusement he loudly shouted,

"Hah, and what do we have here, a female thief and a little brat holding a gun, pointing it at a man thinking he can scared him away! BOO HOO, I'M SO SCARED, I WANT MY MOMMY!"

Train slightly fidgeted while the men burst out laughing.

"SCRAM KID! Haven't your mother taught you to respect your elders…!"

Train however only answered calmly.

"I do not respect elders that attempt to rape a child just because they were stupid enough to let her pick pocketed them.

"HOW DARE YOU…!" I HAVE YOU KNOW THAT SHE DIDN'T MANAGE TO PICK OUR WALLETS…! FOOLISH, GUILTY IGNORANT LITTLE BRATS!"

Train's grip on his gun tightens at hearing the foolish man's voice. The girl sighed sadly and held a look, Train saw but didn't say anything.

"Stupid kids, what makes you think you can fight us with just a gun, huh! There are only two of you and about ten of us! Humph! You should just surrender quietly, as we may spare your life and give the young pretty lady to us and I will return her to you once we have our fun with her..……though we won't really mind having you though, beautiful at such at a young age ……I rather have you than that foolish girl…what bravery for such a young man……simply intriguing…perhaps I'll take both of you………."

The man's voice had slowly come out as a purring sound, trying to seduce Train; however it was obvious it wasn't working as Train's deadly glare was still held in place, the man's voice sounded horribly disgusting for Train. However, what the man was true. Train's hair was damped because of the rain and his golden eyes could be seen clearly through the dark night, to anyone Train was indeed quite a beautiful sight to see. The man grabbed hold of Train's chin forcing Train to stared at the man's eyes. Train so wanted to look away with disgust but the man held his face firmly.

"…You have beautiful eyes too…"

"……Get your filthy hands of me…"

As Train tried to jerk himself away but was in vain.

"…No I don't think so you are quite an interesting boy…"

That was all Train could take as he suddenly raised his arm at the right angle and pull the trigger of his gun, killing the man instantly. A cry of agony filled the place as blood gushed out from his head; the girl immediately looked away, shocked at the horrifying sight. She wasn't the only one to be surprise at Train's sudden actions as the men stood still with horror as they saw their friend slowly collapsing towards the floor. Train, however didn't even flinched as this was normal for him and he coolly asked,

"Who's next?"

Hearing Train's voice the men glared at him with much anger.

"Capture the boy……killed him…!"

With that command, the men rushed towards him.

"…Hey…thief….get back……and closed your eyes…… "

The girl immediately stood back and backed towards the wall but she did not close her eyes as Train had order her to. Within seconds the men had successfully surround Train. Glaring at them, Train simply aimed and fire at willed.. He was done no more than twenty seconds and Rin simply stood in admiration even though Train was covered with more blood, now including his face. Anyone who passed by would have thought Train was an emotionless killer at a young age, perhaps they would also had thought Train was Death himself but he was beautiful.

Train than slowly walked towards her as if nothing had happened

"Why did you not shield your eyes as I had told you to do so…?"

"I thought perhaps it was time that I stopped running away and fight back…and for that I have to get through the sight of blood, don't I…?"

Train silently nodded.

"So what do you planned to do now…?"

"…I do not know…"

"Perhaps you wish to join me for temporarily shelter……?"

"Can I….?"

Train nodded.

"My name is Rinslet Walker…please called me Rin…"

"The family famous for thieving…?"

"The one and only….is it because of that tattoo that you knew who am I?…I'm impressed...but you should know it anyway, my family had held an awesome record and I'm proud of it…!"

Rin smiled brightly at him while posing proudly. Train couldn't help but smirked, things would definitely be more lively and intresting with this potential and cheerful new found ally.

"You must be Train Heartnet, the one and only assassin at a young age, I'm not the only famous one around the neighborhood, a high possibility that you are even more famous than me….!"

"…Whatever…"

"Hahaha…come on bring me to your place, I can't wait to take a bath…"

"I'm taking one first…"

"No ladies first…"

"…are not…"

"Are too!"

"Are not…!"

"Are too!"

"Okay, okay I give up….ladies first…."

"Lead the way, man…!"

Through Train had lost the short fight, at least this girl had good sense of humor, all right. And they both quickly disappeared within the shadows.

End Flashback

Train silently laugh. Oh, that was good memories all right. Now that he thought back, indeed he was very proud of Rin. In the past when he shot at their opponents she would always glanced away but now to her it was more like stomping on irritating ants. From the last few years Rin had slowly became from a playful kid to a well-mature lady who knows what she does is right or wrong.

Thank God for that. For once he actually thought he had fallen in love with cheerful Rin but when the years fly by, he knew it was just fondness. Rin would definitely laugh at him if she was to find that out. And so through time, Creed had allowed her to join the little gang by the age of 12.

On the other hand Rin was ready to begin. She had set everything ready to get the man's wallet. Rin breathe in deeply and letting the air out while praying a small prayer that it will work. With caution, Rin past by him casually and swiftly reach out and grabbed his wallet, Rin smirked slightly as she felt the texture of her targeted object. However, before she could celebrate her victory, she was suddenly forced to turn about, to her surprise her victim had managed to find her out. This man is good! Wrong person to deal with! Train is so going to have my head! She struggled trying to freed herself, the man's grip was tight though, and when Rin found out that it was impossible to break herself out of the man's grip. She whistled loud and shouted with all her might,

"Train!"

"…Huh….Train…?"

Rin stared at the man who had just spoken wondering whetherthismanknew who Train was.
