CHAPTER 3—THE FATEFUL ENCOUNTER
1 month later…….
Once again the night and the chilly mist surrounded Natsume…he hated missions in winter!
He once again crept through the shadows of the night. The place looked familiar.
"Cherry Lane…creepy girl lives here…" he whispered and opened an envelope to check the address to where his next target might be today…"Says 17 Cherry Lane? Is that girl related to him somehow?" he wondered. Natsume walked slowly keeping a tight hold on the gun placed in its holster. "This is the place, tch!"
The window on the ground floor was open, he got inside, he heard a shout.
Natsume rushed up the stairs and saw his target gripping Andromeda's hand tightly, while Andromeda tried to get away in vain.
Neil's grip on Andromeda's hand tightened.
"Katarxynyaa.......hmm…one of the famous Black cats I suppose? Where's you're partner?
Dirty little slime ball…Natsume thought remembering a previous encounter as his blood started to boil….. Where is TRAIN? He's never late for a mission!
"Hyuuga isn't it? So you guys finally noticed the little crimes I've been doing?"
"Yes we did!" Natsume said with a strange expression as some memories came flooding back to him…"And now you'll…" Natsume stopped midway ---- Neil was pointing his gun at Andromeda.
"Sick BASTARD----You'll go to any lengths to save you're SORRY BUTT WONT YOU?" Andromeda inquired.. while struggling to get out of Neil's tight grip, tears glistening in her eyes.
"Oh babes…don't be such a drama queen you know me well enough right?"
"Drop that gun Hyuuga!" Neil said beckoning towards Natsume.
Tch…..Persona got me for real this time, he knew………Natsume thought…where is Train?
Disgusting taking a girl for a hostage!
Natsume dissolved in his thoughts as he started to bend down to put the gun down on the floor.
"HI!" said a slightly fun-loving, childish, husky voice.
Natsume's veins started popping.
"WHERE WERE YOU?" Natsume inquired of Train.
"Umm…well its time to get serious now!"
With a swift movement Train freed Andromeda of Neil's grip and held onto his throat.
"Do you're thing Hyuuga!"
"What thing Heartnet…you seem to have him good!"
"Do it you're fire thing…gun thing any…shit….he got away!" Train exclaimed as Neil jumped out of the window, off the building and into his waiting limousine.
"Let's go after him Hyuuga! Get a move on!"
"Let him go today he'll met his end some other time…." Natsume said with an angry expression and bloodshot eyes.
"Persona will murder us! Are you okay?" Train said looking at Andromeda.
"I'm good…" Andromeda replied. "So Natsume you're after my fiancé?"
"Been after him a while now its official…" Natsume said looking bloodthirsty.
He stared into Andromeda's wet eyes and her cute curls surrounding her babyish face.
Natsume felt an urge, an urge to kiss Andromeda.
Natsume waited for a while, head down trying to control his heavy, unsteady breathing. Then he came crashing down on Andromeda's lips. He felt his body burn into her as they passionately kissed each other. This meant Andromeda liked him…he'd fallen in love again.
Natsume heard a low whistle….Train….he thought.
They stood apart looking into each others eyes.
"You're doing it again bro…" Train said in a low voice.
"Yeah…."
"So Natsume tell me about you're past why are you so bloodthirsty for Neil's life? Apart from the fact of course that he's a major killer! How'd you know him?" Andromeda asked.
Shaku—hi again konnichiwa!
Andromeda----Shaku can I flirt with Train he's cute!
Shaku---NO WAY!
Train----ME! Itll be an honour Andy {hey I came up with a nickname]
Natsume---Stay away! *evil glare*
Shaku, Andromeda and Train in unison--*runs away as fast as they possibly can!*
