Train was running quickly. It was as if he was in a sprinting race. He was panting as he caught up with his first friend. First friend? Is there such a thing? I never had a friend when I belonged to the Chrono Numbers. All I do is follow orders and that's it. I never became a stray cat. Why am I running for? Is she a target? No. I know she isn't.

But why? Why this so-called friend keeps appearing in my head? I have no idea why she keeps coming back, singing that 'odd' song. Her voice somehow makes me feel better. But why? Who is she anyway?

Train came to a halt when the girl stopped running as well.

The girl turned around and faced Train. She was wearing a happy face. He flushed as she moved closer to him. Why? Why do I have this weird feeling? Why do I feel this way when I see her?
Hito no fuuoe mushi no habataki
Their faces were so close that Train could feel her sweet breath. He looked directly at her light green eyes. His heart was beating rapidly. Deep inside, he wanted to grab her and kiss her. But something held him back and he did not know why. She grinned at him and called his name with that saccharine voice of hers.

She whispered a few words to him and kissed him on the cheeks. Then she disappeared, singing the last two lines left.

Train opened his eyes. He was perspiring. He touched the part where the girl had kissed him. To him, it seemed rather real than just a dream. Then, the words she whispered keep echoing in his mind. I'm going to wait for you, Train-kun. Please come back soon.
Although he could not understand why, he had a feeling she had an important meaning in his life. Then, his heart suddenly ached. He remembered what Kurai told him. It will continue to ache if he thinks of her more. He shook his head and stood up. He took his Hades and left his room. He had some other things to take care of.
"Train-kun," Saya mumbled as she drank the last drop of her milk. It was a sunny morning and she was sitting at the rooftops together with her pal cat. Omi and Haru were having breakfast inside the apartment. "Nice meeting you here. Have you been following me?" she asked the cat. The cat looked at Saya with its large yellow eyes and meowed. It was as if it understood what she was saying. She laughed and then, looked at the empty plate of her pal. "I'll get you another one. This time, it's all yours. I'm already full so we don't need to share it." Saya jumped down from the rooftops and went to get another bottle of milk. As she headed toward the store, she was singing.

A shadow ran past her, chasing something else. Saya followed the shadow as she sang.
Moshi wa matataki machi wa kirameku
"That song," the cat muttered. His heart suddenly ached but it did not stop him from running. He ignored the pain and moved on. Finally, his large cat-like eyes spotted his two targets. One was a man with an eye patch on his right orange eye and was wearing a hat and white coat with a red tie. The other was a girl with a blonde hair, pinkish eyes and wearing a black dress. The two of them were having their breakfast at a park. They were seated at the bench as they watch the beautiful fountain at the midst of the park. No one else was at the park since it was still early.

The cat jumped in front of them, pointing his Hades. Sven covered Eve and was about to grab his briefcase when Train shot it. It moved away from Sven's direction. "That was close! I thought it was my hand!" Sven sighed as he touched his precious hands, checking if it has a wound. He became chibi and veins can be seen popping from his head. He pointed his hands at Train and said angrily, "Hey, watch where you're firing that gun of yours!"

"He's not listening. They must have done something to him," Eve muttered. "Like what they did to me."
"Now's not the right time to think of that! He's aiming right at us! You know he's deadly!" Sven yelled as he carried Eve on his shoulders. He ran to take cover.

Train fired his Hades at them and Saya threw the empty bottle of milk as a barrier. The bottle broke into pieces as soon as the bullet hit it. Sven and Eve turned around and found a girl in white yukata. Saya disappeared from his sight and appeared at his back. She grinned at him and then, jumped over him. She threw his weapon away and took something out from her yukata. She was on top of him so Sven covered Eve's eyes. What does she think she's doing? I don't think it would work if she does something like that.Sven thought as he imagined Saya passionately kissing Train. His face became as red as a volcano. Eve could tell that Sven was perspiring. He shook his head and drove his thoughts away as he waited for what Saya was planning.
Saya seemed to be strangling him. Sven scratched his eyes to see what was really happening. A small bell sound could be heard. "Hey, I know that sound. Could it be...?" He noticed that Train's neck had a red collar tied into it after Saya removed her hands from his neck. It was the same one Eve gave. Saya must have fixed it for him. Train held Saya's neck and then, they exchanged positions. Train was the one on top, strangling his beloved one. "Who are you? Why do you keep bringing me pain whenever I see you?" Train asked. Saya could tell there was bewilderment in his eyes. She choked the words, "T...Tra...in-ku...n, th...is i...s Sa...ya... don't y...ou re...mem...ber?" Then, something hard hit Train's head. He fell down on Saya. She thought it was Haru; however, she was wrong. It was a man with a handsome face, long black hair. He had a Roman numeral on his chest, an X symbol. "Now, now, that's not the Black Cat I used to know. He was one of those pathetic sweepers and he was proud being one if I could remember it well. I wonder why he became like that. He should go back to Chronos if he wants to kill again."
Whew! I'm glad our exams are already over. Now I could concentrate on making another chapter. Woohoo! Well, well... things are heating up. (If you know what I mean. lol) What's going to happen to Train? Will Porta and Kurai take him away once again or will he come back to his senses? Find out soon! Thanks for your reviews!
