14AmyChan: I don't own anything~! *^_^*

Train: So, are you basically going to write a new storyline for Black Cat?

14AmyChan: I don't know, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. *^_^*

Saya: On with the story! :)

"You okay?" asked a white-suited green-haired stranger. Train scanned him over. He was dressed like he was going to a party, but in this area, the closest thing like that would be a cemetery…

"We're fine, who're you?" Train asked, being cautious. For all he knew, this guy could be one of the little henchmen from Chronos. Someone he didn't know. He had to be careful or it cost them their lives…

"Sven Vollified" the man, 'Sven' said. He still had the net in his hand, but no one seemed to be paying attention to the squirming gay man. "I was passing through when I saw this guy trying to harm this beautiful young lady" 'Sven' said, looking over at Saya. Train instantly didn't like him. "So, you two young people on a date?"

Maybe this guy wasn't so bad after all…

"No" Train said, holding up a decent conversation with this stranger. Saya was glad to see that Train had no problem with socializing, even though she could see that he was still awkward with it. "We're just roaming around" Train said.

"Do you know him?" Sven said, nudging his head over to the net which was, as they all noticed, empty. Sven ran over to inspect his hand-made net. No doubt about it, the metal links were cut through. I should have been paying more attention Sven made a metal note to learn from this. Sven looked behind himself at the couple to see the guy subconsciously protecting the girl. He chuckled internally. That kid had it bad. "Names?" he asked, turning most of his attention back to the net.

"Train Heartnet" Train said. He almost wanted to lie to the stranger, to start covering their tracks, but he couldn't lie to this guy. He didn't know why, though… Maybe running from Chronos made him more social? He didn't know. He just kept searching around for that gay lunatic.

"Saya Minatsuki, Sweeper" Saya said, seeing no reason to lie to a fellow sweeper. 'Sven' had already turned his attention to his net and was trying to repair it. But when she said sweeper, he got up, looked her square in the eye, and said "Sorry, was that your catch?"

"No" 'Saya' said. Sven could tell that she wasn't lying. It was just something you picked up after a while of being a sweeper. "How long have you been in the game?" he asked as politely as he could. He could see that her boyfriend, 'Train' was getting edgy.

"Four years" she said proudly. "You?" she was a little curious about this guy, Sven. He was one of the people she met that was a sweeper. The way she came to the job was when she was thirteen. She started training with a gun at fourteen.

"Almost three years…" Sven said, deciding to take his net back to the hotel room. He gathered up his stuff and nodded at the young couple. "Take care of yourselves" he said, bidding them goodbye. "Maybe we'll meet again."

"Sure…" Train said, watching Sven walk off with his net in his hands. At once, a random thought popped into his head: Why is his hair green? Oh well, Train thought leading Saya out of the alleyway. I don't think I'm ever gonna see him again…

.../.../.../

"Sign here" a police officer said. Train signed his name on a paper. "And here" Train complied. "Please take these papers over there to get your reward" the officer said, waving Train over to a cash register. "Thanks" Train said as he walked over to collect his bounty.

Train became a sweeper, but this hadn't put their troubles to rest.

Right after the new source of income, Train realized something about himself he hadn't before. He could have an amazing appetite. Good thing Saya was a great cook…

It had been three months and Saya and Train were just cruising the country, doing most everything they wanted to do. This only included eating, sleeping, and being sweepers. Train was still working on how to get Saya to a safe house. It was the one thing at the top of his priority list.

"This should feed us for a few days" Train yelled as he walked out. He was talking to none other than Saya, of course. Train walked down the stairs, but went instantly to Saya's side and the bike.

"It was a purse thief" Saya said, waiting for Train to get on the bike. "We need to get gas first" she continued as Train did get on the bike. One great thing about a motorcycle is that it would get you from point A to point B no problem. On the other hand, it sucked gas like a vacuum cleaner, and the money that went with it, too.

Saya hadn't done anything, because she couldn't find a good target. As soon as they landed in one town, Train would whisk them off to another. Also, as Saya noticed, Train hadn't been getting the sleep he needed. It led her to wonder why isn't he sleeping? What's he doing at night? But Saya hadn't looked into it yet. As they went off to get their gas, she decided to stay awake and find out what was bugging Train so much.

"Saya, you need your sleep" Train said. As per usual, they were camped out in the middle of nowhere. Saya was bundled up in Train's old jacket again. Even on the other side of the bike, both knew that the other was awake.

"So do you" Saya said, deciding not to hide the fact she was awake. "If you don't sleep, you're gonna slip up." Saya decided to try and take the side of logic. It was harder to battle than just feelings… And hers were raging something fierce right now.

"What'll we do if Creed comes back again?" Train asked, deciding that it would be better to say this rather than just argue with her on no basis. It was better on the grounds of logic…

"Then why don't we take shifts?" Saya asked-what she thought was-a very reasonable question. She had no idea why Train would want to take all of this on all by himself. They've gotten by three months together…haven't they?

Screw logic… Train thought as he tried to come up with a combating answer. He just sat there with Hades on-hand. By now, Saya had gotten herself a new gun, so they were good as far as defense went… "Just go to sleep" Train said, "I'll wake you up if anything happens."

Saya knew that Train was probably not listening to her anymore. He really wanted her to go to sleep, and he really wanted her to stay away from the action for awhile…

We're in this together, aren't we…?
