Riuko: I'm on a roll! Two chapters in one week. I owe you guys at least that much. * gives out pocky again to say sorry *

Caress: Pfft. Suck up.

Riuko: Yes I am. And also, I'd like to introduce my friend, but she's not here yet. * sobs *

Train: Oi, didn't your friend start reading Black Cat.

Riuko: * nods* And now she's making fun of me because I like Train. Saying stuff like "You like him, you like him," and stuff I really would prefer not to repeat.

Caress: Is there anything about my "allergy" in this chapter?

Riuko: Yes.

Caress: Oh god. I'm doomed.

Train: Riuko doesn't own Black Cat.

Eve POV

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

"Are you?" I replied. Caress blushed and turned away. "Does this have to do with that thing that happened a couple days ago?"

"Yeah, kinda," she replied, still not facing me.

"Are you a mythical creature?"

"No," she replied.

Caress POV

When she asked me if I was a mythological creature, I said 'No'. Technically, I wasn't lying, I am mostly human. I'm just ΒΌ angel. But since I'm part white angel, I still had this weird problem with sweets. Sugary cereals and chocolate milk are fine, but I act drunk when I eat candy. I'm just like a mermaid on soda pop. (A/N Mermaids get drunk on fizzy stuff. It's really funny.) Aria accidentally gave me chocolate once. It wasn't fun for either of us afterwards. Pretty awkward actually.

"You okay now Caress?" Eve asked in her monotonous voice.

"Yeah, thanks Eve," I replied.

I sat down at the kitchen table and laid down my head. My stomach was growling really loudly. "Stupid stomach," I groaned.

"If you're hungry, then eat," said Sven as he lit another cigarette.

"I don't want to eat your food. I'd feel like a freeloader," I replied. "I don't understand why you won't let me use my bank account. I must have over $1 million in there in Rumors and Chronos paychecks.

"We're trying to get you to rely on us," Sven replied.

"But I don't wanna!" I whined. "What I want is to beat the living crap out of Rumors." My stomach growled again. "And eat," I added. Sven laughed.

"Anyways, Train told me you ran into River" said Sven.

"Yeah," I replied.

"What happened?"

"I ran out of energy, that's what happened."

"No," said Sven," I mean what happened that's so bad you were bleeding buckets into the grass?"

"So that was Train! I'll kick his ass!"

"All he said was that you cleaned up a body's worth of blood."

"It's none of your business," I said getting up. "Besides, if I told you, you probably wouldn't believe me."

"It is our business if our friend is going out for two days to bleed to death," said Train as he walked in.

"This has happened to me every month since the day I was born. I haven't died yet," I replied as I brushed past him.

Train POV

"Well that was cold," I said as I sat down at the table. Sven nodded. "Plus, I thought we weren't going to ask her about it."

"When you brought up how much blood she claimed she lost, I changed my mind," said Sven as he puffed out a ring of smoke.

"Well you can't blame her for being hungry," I said, "she claims she hasn't eaten in three days." Sven dropped his cigarette.

"Three days?!" He yelled. I nodded. "No wonder she was hungry!"

"I give her kudos for staying tough though," I replied. Sven sighed, picked up his cigarette, put it out, and then threw it away.

"What are we going to do with that girl?"

"No idea Sven-chan."

Riuko: Done! My mom'll be home soon, so, since I really wanted to update twice this week, I'll stop here.

Angsty: R&R
