So it's been like… a long time. I'm sorry guys, I broke the promise of chapters every two weeks! I don't have any excuses except maybe I was lazy and forgetful! You shall pelt rocks on this unforgivable author! Can't really say this chapter is as big as the others are but hey it's better than nothing right? As you guys know I changed the summary and deleted the prologue. I will add a new one later and Jennie's name is NOT Cottyo. So okay guys enjoy the new chapter!

Disclaimer: I do not own Hakushaku to Yousei, but I own Jennie, the scenes that were not on the show and the changes on the ones that were.


Chapter Five: Don't throw up in a Train!

Tick, tock, tick, tock…

Step, step, step…

Tick, tock, tick, tock…

Step, step, step…

Tick, tock, tick, tock…

Step, ste-

"Jennie! What are you doing? Hurry up before the train leaves!" I hear my sister as she makes me hasten towards the train.

"What?" I said in a daze. Since when did the train arrive? It was so quiet just a minute ago.

Raven, Edgar, Lydia, and I all walked into the train - well not me - I was practically dragged on by Lydia.

Finally seated inside our cart, I decided to explore!

Lydia sighed. "Jennie, can't you at least sit still for once?" she asked.

"Oh come on! It's been a long time since I last been on a train, I just want to see how long I can hold up until I threw up like last time." I shouted in glee. Lydia stared blushing and gave quick glances to Edgar. His reaction to my exclamation was quite different than Lydia's, but when he caught her looking at him, he shot her a flirty smile. Can't you see the connection these two are giving?

However, Raven's reaction was the best. "Shall I give you a bag?" he asked.

I giggled, or more precisely, cackled. "Yup, give me a big one please!" He nodded, then walked away.

"I don't think Raven should be encouraging her…" Lydia whispered in disbelief. She looked down and had one hand rubbing her temples.

"Indeed, Jennie was being a little bit immature, that's why we should learn from her so then we could get ready for our own kids immaturity," Edgar whispered in her ear. How he got right next to Lydia without my noticing was beyond me. She blushed and shivered a little.

I sneaked a peek towards Lydia's blushing face. She tried to be indignant by crossing her arms, but alas failed as Edgar made another move on her.

I shut the door behind me. Wouldn't want to get caught seeing those two mating.

'Mating' seemed like such an old word somehow.

All well ~

I wandered down the hall thinking where's the bathroom? Until I saw Raven's jet-black hair peeking from a room until it was fully out.

I stood there frozen. My blush was intent on never leaving my face, as my body felt paralyzed. In just a few more seconds Raven would see me like this as if I turned to stone! Eek! Come-on Jennie say something! SAY SOMETHING!

"Hi Raven!" I somehow blurted out. He seemed to wince when I yelled just too loudly. I just saw him a few seconds ago so what would make me? Psycho? …yes…

"Hello… Jennie," he greeted me

From the cart, Raven handed me a plastic bag. "Thank you Raven! I will make sure not to miss!" There's no limit to being shameless right?

His face gave way to a slightly odd look at me, then it brought back to the regular stoic poker face. "I'm about to serve tea to Master Edgar and Mistress Lydia, would you like some?" he asked.

"No thank you…" Raven nodded then turned to leave. I sighed watching his back turn to the room I just left…

I let out a bitter smile. "I'm such an idiot. Idiot. IDIOT!" I clutched my head and screamed. Why couldn't I say something mature for my age? I'm sixteen for god's sake! "What do I have? Brain damage?"

"Well, you did get hurt falling off that tree…" I looked down to see the always fluffy Nico.

"Nico!" I exclaimed. Did he just see me like this? Does he know I'm going psycho and finally realizing it? I picked him up and petted his soft head. Probably kicking his ego of being a man. "Where have you been? You're suppose to be Lydia's loyal pet so you should stay by her side!"

"PET?" I loosened my grip on him. "I'll have you know that I'm a true gentleman! And I shall not be downgraded by some child calling me a pet!" he shouted with as much dignity as he mustered.

I retorted, "I'm sixteen and am NOT a child!" I stared at him with owl eyes as I added, "And aren't gentlemen suppose to be nice to women?"

"Well," he trailed off. "Gentlemen are only nice to pretty women."

"ARE YOU CALLING ME UGLY PUNK?"

=D

"That's right! If I ask Edgar, a true gentleman, who he's suppose to be nice to, then that will clear things up!" I shouted. I grabbed Nico by his torso, which was still shaking after his… punishment.

"Th-that… I-I woul-d-dn't d-do that I-if I w-were you…" Nico murmured.

"And why is that?" I asked, curiosity making me forget I should be angry with him. I placed him on my shoulder so I could hear well.

He rolled his eyes as he said - still shaking -, "Edgar is probably the mass murderer from the newspaper I read, remember? He had blond hair and ash mauve eyes." He paused, then continued, as he saw no recognition in my eyes. "I read it the other day, don't you remember?"

"Nope!"

"Ahem! Anyway, he might be the culprit," Nico finished.

"And how can you prove that?"

"The culprit has a cross symbol on his tongue," he replied rather tartly, or was that impatience I'm hearing? "And that's why…" he cleared his throat again. "Lydia is going to make sure it's true." He then expected the worse by cowering away from me.

I nodded before my brain did some real thinking.

Usual criminals get desperate enough to kill people if they are found out that they are criminal's

Edgar's tongue is solid proof that he is the criminal…

Lydia finding out + finding out Edgar's a criminal = rbaobfaofgbdsogao!

Um… I couldn't think of a word that fits that. Oh, stop thinking Jennie! Run! Run now and save your sister!

"Yes mind!" I shouted saluting. Nico looked like I was crazy, which I am most of the time. Placing Nico on my shoulder, I ran and said in a dark voice, "Take me to your leader!"

"Huh?"

"I'm lost! Take me to Lydia, Nico!" I screamed, yet again.

He sighed. "You're so hopeless…"

"Nico!"

"Turn right there!"

:D

Despite knowing that Edgar is probably a dangerous criminal that can kill someone easily. Despite knowing that if Raven is loyal to Edgar then he might even hurt Lydia… It sort of hurts thinking about it for some reason. And despite that there is no one on this train except for the engineer, a couple of staff workers, Edgar, Raven, Lydia, and myself, which the others could easily be on Edgar's side. What am I doing now?

Walking.

I hear Lydia's screams and exclaim. THAT makes me run.

I pushed open the sliding door and what do I see? Edgar holding Lydia while she's trying her hardest to pull away from him. Oh and Raven is making tea over there in the corner. Well this doesn't look and sound like a murder in action.

Hmm…

"Raven!" I shouted, causing everyone's attention. I could see the hope in Lydia's eyes. I'm so sorry dear sister! But it's fun time for me. "What are you doing here!" He looked at me questioningly I elaborated. "If Lydia and Edgar are making out, the polite way of handling this is to leave the room!"

"That's wrong!" Lydia shouted. "He should help me if I'm trying to stop Edgar from doing this!" Notice that Lydia is still in Edgar's embrace and Raven is making tea. It seems that Lydia didn't ask me for help. Yay! No lecture!

"Raven wouldn't stop me even if I were to snap your thin, little neck right now," Edgar says. Hey, that's no way to treat a woman. Especially my sister, but instead of making a move I just watched as the whole scene unfolds.

Lydia gasps but then recovers and bitch slaps Edgar. After that she reaches for the hot water for making tea, intent on pouring it all over his face. But then Raven pops up and takes the blow.

"I'm so sorry!" Lydia exclaimed. Anger quickly dissolving into pure worry. "You'll have to put something cold on it quickly!" That's my sister for you, she doesn't run off in an angry temper like what other girls do in Lydia's place. She worries for them. She would probably worry for Edgar too if he was the one to get poured on hot water.

"I'm all right. Please don't worry," he replied with that same stoic face on. He turned to his master. "I'll go refill it." The way he acts as if his well being doesn't matter at all sort of pisses me off.

"Please treat yourself first, Raven," he said.

"Yes." And then he was off.

My sister, probably still worried, followed Raven.

I looked towards Edgar as he smiled as Lydia went away. "You sure have a caring sister," he said after a while.

"Yup."

"May I ask, Miss Carlton, why didn't you help your sister out?"

"It seemed harmless when I looked at the situation, so instead of helping I decided to poke some fun in it."

"Yes, is was pretty harmless, huh?" Edgar said distantly as he rubbed his sore cheek.

"I might seem like an easy going character, but if Lydia gets hurt I won't take that too lightly," I said in my dark nature as I gave him a warning glance.

"I promise nothing in harm's way will happen to your sister," he replied with a bow.

I nodded my head too, and left the room.
