I was waiting for a review that's why it took me some time to update again. I've already told some of my readers that reviews are my strength. Tee hee. So, if I don't get enough reviews, I get lazy in continuing the stories. Well, some of my fanfiction stories have less reviews yet I still completed them all. I don't want to left it all just like that anyway.


It was 3 o'clock in the afternoon and the blazing heat of the sun was making all the residents lazy and dizzy. Two stuffed toy neko with opposite colors was beside the notorious Black Cat. He was busy drinking his cold, bottle of delicious milk as he turned to the stuffed animals; the picture of Saya appeared in his vivid memory. A beautiful song started to play as he reminisced those moments.

Every now and then,

We find a special friend

Sven and Eve went at the rooftops. They saw Train lying down under the heat of the sun. Sven was licking his vanilla ice cream on cone. Eve was holding two different flavored ice creams on cone; one was mango-flavored and the other was cookies & cream-flavored. She handed the latter to Train. He was drooling as he reached for it. All of the sudden, a flamethrower melted it away.

"Hey, what's the big idea?" Train cried as he blew at his burnt hand. He looked at the ice cream cone's ashes as it flew with the wind. He sucked his thumb like he was a baby.

"My Black Cat!" a voice said that came from above. A black-haired girl in a school uniform jumped right at Train and placed the wobbling Popsicle in his mouth. She was sitting on his stomach. She blew a small fire by the side. Then, she chuckled and pinched his serious-looking face.

Who never lets us down

Who understands enough

"You're heavy." Train said irritably.

"Aw, but I want to stay here. I want to be with my Black Cat." Kyoko insisted.

"Get off!" Train pushed her gently and moved away. He licked the Popsicle and looked daggers at her. His hands were burnt.

"Hey, I could heal that." Kyoko volunteered. She took Train's hands and was about to kiss it when he shook her away.

"What are you all guys doing in here anyway? I'm having a moment here and you all – hey, quit it! Are you even listening to me? Hey! Whoa!" Kyoko did not let go of Train and they both slipped from the rooftops. They rolled diagonally until they reached the edge of the roof. They came to a stop and stared at each other for awhile in the midair. Then, they fell. He held Kyoko's waist tightly and searched for something to hold unto. When Train turned his cat-like eyes back to Kyoko, a girl in white yukata was grinning at him.

Reaches out each time you fall

You're the best friend that I found.

She blinked her light green eyes at him and asked in her cheerful manner, "What's the matter, Train-kun?"

I know you can't stay

A part of you will never ever go away

Your heart will stay

The scenery was unmistakably familiar. Train was about to embrace her when a screaming voice woke him up. He shook his head and turned again to the girl in front of him; it was still Kyoko, screaming at the top of her voice. He fired his Hades downwards and the force landed them safely at the ground.

Sven and Eve scampered downstairs. When the smoke was clear, they found the two safe and sound. "I thought that you two were going to die." Sven teased. "Train had a blank expression on his face when he was staring at Kyoko."

"Really?" Kyoko's eyes sparkled. "Does that mean –?"

"That's nonsense." Train looked away. "I was searching for something to hold unto."

Kyoko made a face. Eve handed the stuff toy back to Train, "You left it." Kyoko gazed at it and said excitedly, "What is that? It's so cute!"

Train did not show any significance to it. He turned around and placed his hands back in his pocket and. He walked away without saying anything to them.

"Black Cat, wait!"

I'll make a wish for you

And hope it will come true

That life would just be kind

To such a gentle mind

"Hey, wait up! You left your balloon, kid!" a cheerful voice called from behind. A little girl with a mint green beret cap turned around. She had a big grin on her face when she saw who had called her attention. She was 2 feet tall and was a bit chubby. She waved at the girl in white yukata. "Saya-chan! Over here!"

Saya Minatsuki came to a halt when she realized where the child was standing. Her light green eyes widened as she accidentally released the green balloon in her hands and dashed towards the child's direction. The balloon was blown by the wind and headed to the south. The little girl was standing at the side of the street and was about to cross over from the other side. Saya was just on time before the speeding motorcycle passed through. She sighed as she embraced the child in her arms. "Don't do that again. It's dangerous out there. Now, where is your older brother?"

The child, does not seem to be bothered of what happened, blinked her large, red eyes at Saya. She pointed her little arms at the sky and muttered, "My balloon is flying away." Saya carried the child in her arms and crossed the street, not minding the vehicles passing her way.

(And) if you lose your way

Think back on yesterday

Remember me this way (ohh hoo)

Remember me . . . this way

"Saya-chan, look out!" the child exclaimed. Saya turned around and found a red car driving recklessly towards her. She held the child tightly close to her and shut her eyes.

THUG!

I don't need eyes to see

The love you bring to me

No matter where I go

Train was wandering around the city with Kyoko. He does not seem to mind her; making a fool of herself since she thought that the two of them were on a date. They passed through a gadget store, where a lot of television sets of different brands and sizes were displayed. He looked at his reflection and fixed his spiky, brown hair. Kyoko fixed imitated Train's actions. He made a face and walked away while she followed him blissfully. As soon as their backs were turned, the flash news came into sight. There was an accident at the next city from where Train was currently residing. Saya's face was covered with blood as it showed on the television monitors. Sven spewed out the coffee he was drinking upon seeing Saya. Silence filled the apartment. Finally, Sven spoke amidst the silence, "Isn't that ... Saya?"

"Train! TRAIN!"

Train turned around and found his partners panting behind him. "Hey, I wasn't running. Why do you look exhausted?"

"No – time – to – kid – around." Sven gasped. He held unto Train's clothes as if begging for mercy.

"Oh, come on, what the heck happened? Are you being chased?"

"No."

"Oh, I know. You're out of money and probably starving. Hmm. I'll try to see if I could get a huge bounty, princess. Well, see ye –"

"No, something else happened." Eve said simply, handing the stuff animal back to its owner. Sven stood up properly and fixed his clothes. He breathed calmly before he spoke; however, Eve was the one who spoke first since Train was anxious to hear the reason they were running off like that. "Your ex-girlfriend was just caught in an accident."

"Eh?" Train came into a thinking pose and when he realized what Eve meant he exclaimed, "She's not my ex-girlfriend – actually, we're just starting a new relationship so you could not call that a girlfriend-boyfriend relationship – and what?!"

And I know that you'll be there

Forever more a part of me

You're everywhere, I'll always care

I'll make a wish for you

And hope it will come true

That life would just be kind

To such a gentle mind

(And) if you lose your way

Think back on yesterday

Remember me this way (ohh hoo)

Remember me this way

Train has reached the city where the accident just happened, thanks to the help of the other sweepers. He rushed to the news reporter and asked where the victim could be found.

Inside the hospital, Train asked for Saya's location. The little girl have heard him mentioning her name at the counter and so he pulled his clothes timidly and stared at him with her cute, large, red eyes. At room 527, where the unconscious white cat lay. Train did not show any sign of weakness and came over to Saya. He held her hands tightly with gritted teeth.

And I'll be right behind your shoulders watching you

I'll be standing by your side in all you do

And I won't ever leave as long as you believe

You just believe . . .

All of Train's blissful and excruciating memories with Saya flashed back: their first peculiar meeting, her beautiful singing voice, their foolish sprinting race, her sudden death, his avenge for Saya's death, their switched bodies, their drinking time, their fight . . . everything. It was as if it would all disappear if Saya would not wake up.

I'll make a wish for you

And hope it will come true

That life would just be kind

To such a gentle mind

(And) if you lose your way

Think back on yesterday

Remember me this way (ohh hoo)

Saya uttered a name in her sleep. A name that had curved in her heart the night she had met this lonely, silent, merciless eraser. The little girl placed Saya's other hand on Train. He was half-asleep but he grinned as he heard her utter his name with the soft voice of hers.

Remember me this way

Ooooh . . .

This way . . .
