Here is a new chapter! Enjoy! :)
Sven had had bad days. This was one of those days. He had woken up to find that Train, Eve, and Rinslet were gone. Even worse, when he walked outside his car was gone. "SOMEONE STOLE MY CAR!" Sven said mouth wide open. That was when he realized it. "Ooh… when I find Train I'm going to strangle him!"
Yuki had gotten used to waking up on couches. This time it was different. When she woke up, she was sitting in a van. "She's awake." Yuki saw that Eve was sitting next to her. Rinslet was driving, and Train was sitting in the other seat. She felt a bandage around her chest. So that's what they did. Rinslet looked at her.
"Hi! No offense, but you've got to set your priorities straight."
"What are you talking about?" Yuki asked. She heard a loud snore. Ahh, so Train was sleeping.
"First you join Chronos, then you leave Chronos, then you become a sweeper, you quit being a sweeper and become an Apostle of the Star. Now you've stopped doing that. I mean, seriously?!" Yuki hated to admit it, but Rinslet was right. She was really messed up. "But that's in the past. Right now I need to turn us around, since Train's asleep, he won't hear me…"
"Yes I will," said Train. Rinslet shouted in surprise. "We need keep going until we run out of gas. Then we need to run on foot."
"May I ask why?" Rinslet asked.
"We are being followed." Yuki felt a wave of guilt.
"Stop the car." Yuki said firmly. Train and Rinslet looked at her. Rinslet shrugged and pulled over. Yuki opened the car door and started to walk away.
"Hey, where are you going?" Rinslet asked.
"I don't know. Just don't follow me!" Yuki said. Her side hurt badly, but she didn't care. Train had done a lot for her; she couldn't let him help anymore. She started to walk away, when she heard another door open. Train got out and started to follow her. "I said…"
"I could care less." He said bluntly. "Listen Yuki, you can't go it alone."
"I can and I will."
"Then maybe this will persuade you." Yuki was about to ask what when Train ran over and kissed her.
"That's pretty persuasive," Yuki said, trying not to sound like a chipmunk.
"So they are a couple." Yuki heard Eve say.
"YES! I KNEW IT! Wait till Sven hears about this!" Rinslet shouted. "I bet him money that Train and Yuki were a couple! OH YEAH!"
"Come back in the car and let's keep going." Train said calmly. All she could do was nod. She started walking, and felt pain surge through her. "You okay?"
"Yeah," she lied. Train could see right through her.
"You're not okay." Before she knew it, Train was holding her in his arms. She blushed as he walked towards the car.
"Ooh, Train, you're a real ladies man!" Rinslet winked. Train helped her inside and they were soon back on the road.
"I was just helping her!" Train said defensively. For some weird reason, Yuki wished Train didn't deny it. That way she would be sure he felt the same why she did.
"You're brainless!"
"Why?" Rinslet sighed and looked at Yuki as if to say boys. "I'll explain when we get… where are we going?"
"I don't know. What I do know is that the Apostles don't like traitors." He was silent for a minute. "We need to find a hotel and hide there." Yuki remembered her sword. Why did she always have to leave it somewhere?
"I guess I could use my ring, grab the sword, and get out," Yuki thought. Well, she couldn't do it now. Until she was fully healed, she needed to lay low.
After a couple hours, they finally found a hotel. They were surprised to find Sven there. "Hi Sven!" Train said nervously. Sven ran up to Train and grabbed him by the shirt.
"Why did you leave me behind?" Sven shouted. "I had to buy a car! And now we are VERY poor! That's all thanks to you!"
"Uh… sorry?"
"SORRY ISN'T GOING TO CUT IT!" While they were arguing, Yuki and Rinslet went inside and found their hotel room. It was pretty nice.
"I'm going to check on the boys." Rinslet said. Yuki nodded. When she was gone, Yuki walked over to the window. She could see the highway and the sidewalk. That was when she saw it. She saw a person walking towards the hotel, and if Yuki wasn't mistaken… Panicked, Yuki rushed out of the room.
Maybe it was good that the strange boy had shown up. If he hadn't, Sven probably would have killed Train. "YOU BRAINLESS…!" Sven stopped when a boy came up to them.
"Excuse me do you know who this girl is?" Train saw that it was Yuki.
"No." He said quickly, a little too quickly. The boy smirked.
"So you have! Where is she?"
"None of your business," Train snapped. The boy frowned.
"You see, that was the wrong answer." The boy jumped as a bolt of lightning shot at him. Yuki stood in the doorway of the hotel.
"Get out of here Kenichi! Nobody wants you here!"
"Kenichi?" Train said, confused.
"Unfortunately, I can't leave until I have you." He lunged at Yuki. Yuki sighed.
"I'm going to win this one. Run at me, I don't care." Yuki waited until Kenichi was close, then she took her gloves off and put her hands in front. When Kenichi was close enough, Yuki tried to touch him with her hands. It didn't work. He jumped over Yuki and tried to hit her in the back. He was stopped, however, but Eve, who hit him across the head. Kenichi suddenly disappeared and reappeared in front of Train. "If I can't get Yuki, I'll just…" He was stopped by Train pulling out his gun and trying to shoot him. Kenichi disappeared again and reappeared further away. "Feisty are we?"
"You bet!" Train ran at him. Kenichi grinned and disappeared again. "Don't be a coward!"
"Whatever you say." Kenichi put her hand out. Instantly, Train's gun flew out of his hand and landed in Kenichi's.
"How did you do that?" Train asked, shocked.
"Just another advantage of Spirit Water," said Kenichi.
"You were a part of the Apostles?" Yuki asked, confused.
"Who said I had to be a part of the Apostles to get Spirit water?" Kenichi shot at Yuki. Yuki flipped and barely missed the bullet.
"No offense Train, but your gun is a pain!" Yuki said as she dodged another bullet. Sven brought out his suitcase and a part of it flipped back, revealing a machine gun. Sven started shooting. They were lucky. Kenichi fell the ground as a bullet hit his arm. Yuki ran at Kenichi and grabbed him.
"Never bother us again." Yuki said angrily. "Or the next time we meet, you die." Kenichi nodded. "Sven, take this guy to the hospital."
"Who's going to pay for those bills?" Sven asked as they put Kenichi in the car.
"Just leave him next to the door. No one will see." When Sven left, they went into the hotel.
"You're lucky that you didn't get hurt!" Train scolded. "Just one hit at your chest, and you could have been serious injured, maybe even died!"
"But I didn't." Yuki protested. "You shouldn't worry about me so much."
"But I love you…" There was a dead silence. Rinslet sighed.
"IT'S ABOUT TIME!" Rinslet pulled Train's hair. "Jeez Train! You're such an idiot!"
"What…?" Train said, still confused. Yuki shook her head with disbelief.
"Train, you are hopeless." Eve confirmed. They all laughed, except for Train.
"I'M COMING FOR YOU EVE!" Eve ran away and Train started to chase her.
"You failed when failure wasn't an option," Creed said, dissatisfaction in his voice. Even though Kenichi was still bleeding, Creed didn't do anything.
"I'm sorry…. I failed you…" Kenichi said, hoping to get some pity from Creed. Instead, Creed turned to Charden.
"Take him outside."
"And then what?" Charden asked.
"Dispose of him," Creed said, as though it was obvious.
"No, please!" Kenichi yelled and Charden grabbed him. Creed laughed as they disappeared.
