The End of the Clear Skies
No matter how many stars there were, there was always more darkness. No matter how much darkness there was, the stars would always shine bravely.
He watched the twinkling stars, wrapped in the darkness of the night. It was clear nights like these that reminded him of her. It was clear nights like these that brought the scent of bittersweet heartache.
"What's with that serious expression?"
Noticing his sweeper partner, Train pasted on a grin.
"Nothing. Is the Princess asleep yet?"
"She's old enough to decide her own bedtime." Shifting to a more comfortable position on the couch, Sven lit a smoke.
"I've known you for along time, Train, and I know something is wrong when you change the subject like that." He slid off the couch to join the brunette by the window.
"You're like one of those stars up there, Train."
Train Heartnet took on a clueless look. A star?
"You were born from a bright star, her star, into the world of darkness you were once a part of."
"Aww. Sven! You're getting to sound like an old man!"
A vein throbbed above Sven's eye patch.
"Nice to know my philosophy is appreciated."
Annoyed, Sven turned toward the bedroom door, deciding to turn in for the night rather than endure the idiot's taunts. As he reached the door way, he caught a small smile on Train.
Nice to know that baka appreciates me for something other than paying for his food.
"Creed-sama? Are you all righ---"
Doctor was interrupted as a vase came hurling at him at a speed faster than a bullet. He managed to dodge but made an annoyed face as one shard of the vase ricocheted off the wall behind him and cut his cheek. A slight blood trail started to run down his face.
"Creed-sama, please calm down. It will be difficult to clean up the mess if you start throwing around objects." Doctor said as he passed a hand over the cut. The wound immediately started to smoke and a second later, it was completely healed.
"SHUT UP! YOU'RE WORTHLESS! ALL OF YOU ARE WORTHLESS!" Creed's maniacal face smoothed out and softened, "Only he is worth my praise. I must have him! With him, we can overthrow the Chrono and rule! Together, together, togeth..."
The Doctor left Creed to his mumbling as he started to pick up the shattered pieces of the vase.
"Doctor..." He turned around.
"Hai, Creed-san?"
"Gather the members of the Hoshi no Shito. Tell them their target is Black Cat...dead or alive."
