Riuko: I'm baaaaaack!

Caress: Ugh! I thought you'd never write!

Riuko: Well pardon me! I didn't have access to a computer over tour!

Train: Yes you did! Your dad even asked you if you wanted to use his!

Riuko: I-I know, but I was trying to stay away from the computer and try to socialize with the group. If you watched us or listened to us, I was the ugly freckle-faced one who was never introduced.

Angsty: You aren't ugly! You are adorable!

Riuko: Aah! I thought you were in Europe!

Angsty: I am. I just felt like popping in. For the record people, she's moe.

Riuko: Am not!

Angsty: Are too!

Riuko: Am not!

Angsty: Are too!

Caress: Well while they're arguing about whether Riuko is moe or not, let's start the show.

Train: Riuko does not own Black Cat.

Riuko: Am not!

Angsty: Are freaking too!

Caress POV

"And they think that locked away in my genetic code is a power that can help them take over the world." I said in a matter-of-fact tone. River dropped his glass, but quickly grabbed it again before it smashed against the floor.

"What?! How come you never told us this?!" Train yelled. I shrugged.

"Eh, I don't know, maybe because YOU DIDN'T NEED TO KNOW!"

"It would've been nice though!" He hissed back.

"You think I was joking about that whole 'I'm dangerous when pissed' thing? Well I wasn't!"

"Ow my ears! Could you yell any louder," River asked, sticking a pinky in his ear and cleaning it out. I took a deep breath.

"I'm sorry, but Train is working my last nerve."

"You're the one who can't let the past go," Train replied. "You're still mad about what happened when we met fourteen years ago."

"Will you shut up about that! You're the one who can't let it go!"

"You guys, I'm going to be deaf by the time you're done arguing, shut up!" I drew in another deep breath. "So, whose poster did you pick up?" I looked at the poster again and read the name and bounty.

"Kiley McLaren," I replied. "He has a $10,000 bounty on his head for twenty-five accounts of arson and thirteen accounts of murder; including the murder of his older brother who died when Kiley blew up his house."

"Sounds like a good time," River said, banging his fists together. "I'll help too." I glared at him.

"I'm trying to earn my stay, and considering I'm starving since I haven't eaten in three days, I could use the money. I don't feel like stealing everything out of the fridge."

"Why haven't you eaten in three days?" I glowered at him.

"Trust me, you don't want to know. Especially if you aren't comfortable with the idea of serious blood loss."

"Okay, you're right. I don't want to know." I flipped my bleach-blond hair over my shoulder, smirking.

"Didn't think so."

"You sure she isn't your sister? She acts just like you."

"I'm very sure she isn't my sister," Train replied. River shrugged as we walked out the door.

"I thought I told you I was going to catch him myself," I snapped at Train. Train rolled his eyes, obviously not giving a damn.

"C'mon Caress-chan, I'm bored."

"Don't call me –chan! I'm only two years younger than you!" I glared at Train. "You know what, I'm done." I said walking towards the woods. "Do what you want."

Train POV

"Are you sure she's-" River began.

"Yes I am sure she is not my sister." I replied.

"Want to follow her?" Thunderhead asked, smirking.

"Yeah, be quiet." River nodded and we slowly crept through the trees. Caress stopped at a clearing and sighed. The grass and trees were coated in blood that looked to be about a day or two old. "What the hell?"

"Freaking rain," I heard her mutter to herself. "Didn't wash it all away. Well, at least I decided to come back." She reached into her pocket and pulled out a pure white feather.

"What is she doing?" River whispered to me.

"I don't know," I replied. "Just watch." Caress cradled the feather in her hand and let it float up to her face. She radiated a golden yellow color with the feather and spread her arms. The blood was pulled off of the trees and grass and was sucked into the feather. When the blood was gone, Caress collapsed. River poised to move, but I held him back.

"What are you doing?" He hissed. "She needs help!" I shook my head.

"Not yet." River relaxed a little, continuing to watch the scene before us. There she was, on the ground, clutching a brown feather. Caress watched it and sighed as it disintegrated into gold dust.

"What now?" River asked.

"Now, we make a silent exit." River nodded and followed my lead, leaving Caress to herself.

Caress POV

When I arrived back at the safe house, Eve was at the table, reading a book. She looked up at me for a moment, but quickly redirected her attention back to the book.

"What are you reading?" I asked. She showed me the cover. "'All There is to Know About Mythical Creatures'." This made me flinch a little. "Y-You don't believe in those things, do you?"

"I don't know," she replied, opening her book again.

"Why the sudden interest then?" I asked.

"Why the sudden interest in what I'm reading," she commented back.

"W-W-Well, you just never struck me as a b-believer," I stuttered out.

"Are you?" The only thought in my head was 'Oh crap!'

Riuko: Alright! I think as I go further, I might accidentally make the characters more OOC since I don't know how Train would react in a relationship.

Caress: Pain causer.

Riuko: *rolls eyes* Anyways, thanks for reading. R&R. Also, I'll be at Youmicon on October 31st if any of you peoples are going. I'd like to meet some of my readers. I'll be the blond Hinata with the three people calling me moe.
