A/N: I know, I'm taking a while to update. Don't forget, I'm going to two schools and I'm not done with an assignment in one of them, so I'm doing my best. Well! Here's what you've been waiting for and happy holidays!

Black Cat's Assistant

Chapter 5: The Truth of Truths

Silently Silk sat in the rain on a bench and looked at the ground. I'm such an idiot. I could have told him then and there…but I didn't. Her green eyes became blank and white hair hung in her face. I also should have told him about Creed. He was angry when I ran off.

"Don't come back or you'll regret it!"

She winced. "He hates me…"

A woman sat down on the bench next to her and held an umbrella over them both. "Child, it's best if you go home, or you'll catch a cold."

"I don't have a home…" Silk replied quietly.

The woman had sympathy in her blue eyes and frowned. "I doubt that very much. Everyone has a home. They carry their homes with them in their hearts. A nice house doesn't make a home, and your home is rarely where you were born." She sighed and stood before holding her hand out before Silk. "I'm Silvia, why don't you come home with me? It's not good to stay in the rain and catch a cold."

Green eyes stared at the hand. "It doesn't matter…he hates me…and my home…I can't go home…"

Silvia took Silk's hand, "Come on Child, I can't let you catch a cold."

Silk allowed the woman named Silvia pull her along to her home, and before she knew it she was given clothes and a cup of hot chocolate. Taking small sips she looked down into the cup. Blue eyes looked her way. "You're already sick, aren't you?"

Green eyes looked into blue and then back down into the steaming hot cup of hot chocolate. Finally she nodded. "I've been sick since I was little, but since I've gotten older it's gotten worse. And I wanted to tell him…" She began to set the cup down when it dropped and she vigorously coughed.

"Child?" Silvia pounded on her back. "Are you alright?"

Silk nodded and placed her hand on her chest. "I'm…fine."

"Lie down and get some rest."

The next morning

Train sat on his bed and looked out the window. "I guess she really isn't coming back…" he said to his self. "I should go look for her…" He paused, "But she's probably upset with me since I told her not to come back… Silk…"

The rain was falling steadily, and it was freezing cold outside. She'd have to be crazy if she sat out in the rain with what she was wearing… Train winced. It was his fault for yelling at her. It was his fault that she was probably sitting under some tree or bridge or on some bench in the rain. She'll get sick if she stays out. She'll be sick if she stayed out in this rain all night.

A blonde haired girl walked in and walked over to him. "The newspaper says that she is missing." She told him before finally walking away to sit down. "It says that her manager is really worried because she has been sick. She says that ever since Silk has sung for them that she has been getting sicker day by day, month by month, year by year…"

Yellow eyes widened. What had he done? He had told her not to come back, and just now he found out that she was truly sick. Could that have been…what she had wanted to tell me? His fist slammed down on the window seal. "Eve, go get Sven and Rins. Tell them that we've got to go look for Silk. And that I'm going ahead." Grabbing a jacket he ran out the door.

Eve shook her head slightly. "Are they a couple?" (Very off topic…oops…)

A/N: I know, it's short… I haven't much time to write lately, sorry! R&R please!
