Riuko: It's what you've all been waiting for, the fourteenth chapter!

Caress: Whoopee…

Riuko: Sadly, this is not going to be the last time she's captured. The second time is after her and Train start falling for each other.

Caress: WHY WOULD I FALL FOR THAT IDIOT?!

Riuko: Because he's awesome, that's why!

Caress: … Meanie

Riuko: Now on with the chapter! Train, please do the honors!

Train: Riuko doesn't own Black Cat.

Train POV

"Hey Train, have you seen Eve or Caress?" Sven asked.

"Nope," I replied, popping the p in "nope".

"While I can understand Caress, Eve disappearing just doesn't seem right. She would've told us."

"Maybe she went with Caress," I added. "Wait! If she did, that means Caress told her! She confides her secret in the Princess and not in us?!"

"You aren't exactly the most trustworthy person with secrets Train," Sven said as he puffed out a ring of smoke.

"Yeah well… shut up." Sven just chuckled.

"Anyways, if that's the case, they would've been back by now," added Sven. "It's been three days." I groaned as I got out of my seat.

"Well, then let's go look for them," I stated bluntly.

"Best idea you've had all week."

"Hey!"

It didn't take too long to find where they'd been. An entire forest clearing was caked in blood and feathers.

"Was this what you saw her clean up?!" I nodded. "It's not humanly possible to lose this much blood and still live!"

"Well, maybe Caress isn't human," I said reaching down to touch a blood-soaked feather. Upon contact with it, I received an electric shock that sent me reeling back. "Ow! What the hell?"

"Hey Train, I found a clean one." I looked over at Sven. In his hand was a pure white feather. It was so white it almost didn't seem real.

"It looks like it's shining," I stated.

"It is," replied Sven. "And look at the clearing." In the clearing were three figures; one that looked like Caress, but it had these beautiful white wings and was wearing a dress, the figure it was protecting was obviously Eve, and the third was a woman with thorns protruding from her arms. I saw them speak, but heard no words. The woman wrapped her thorny arm around the winged figure and dragged her away from Eve. That's when a fourth figure entered the clearing and started bickering with the woman, who was obviously not happy with the man's arrival. The man whipped out a long chain and used it to choke Eve, the drag her away. Then the scene faded and all was normal again.

"Again, what the hell?!" I yelled as the feather in Sven's hand turned to gold dust.

"I think Caress and Eve are in trouble," stated Sven.

"No, you think?"

Caress POV

"I hate this! I f*cking hate this!" I yelled as I pounded the stone walls of the cell Eve and I were held in. Then, I drew my fist back, agonizing at the new found pain as I let my brown hair, yes brown hair, cover my hazel eyes. I hated how I looked as a human. I looked like my father. My traitorous father who left my mother when he found out she was pregnant. (*SPOILER* A/N: That's as far as you know.) I felt Eve squirm beside me as she, once again, received a shock for trying to use her nanotech powers. (A/N: Think book 18.) "I'm sorry for getting you into this Eve," I apologized for like the umpteenth time.

"It's fine," she replied… for like the umpteenth time.

"No it's freaking not! I have no power, I'm a freaking useless human, and Train and Sven have no idea we're here! Our only chance is if we're left alone for two weeks so I can give my mom enough power to go get someone to let us out!"

"Your mom?" Eve cocked her brow.

"Y-Yes. Since we are already dead and are thus unable to pass on, an angel's soul resides in its descendant, so now I have my mother's and my grandmother's souls in me." Eve looked both ways before whispering something in my ear.

"There are tracers in our phones," she whispered. Inside, I was celebrating, but outside, I was still sulking. Although we couldn't seem them, someone was always watching us, and judging from the fact I could see his boot, it was Blades and he was bored.

"Oh, and Blades," I yelled to the man watching us, "if you don't feed us, End-sama will not be happy."

"Bitch," I heard the man mutter. I smirked in victory.

Several minutes later, a man with blond, purple-streaked hair, stood in front of our cell with a large meal.

"'Thank you Blades-san' is what I should be hearing," the man muttered.

"I'm thankful that you're the one on duty," I replied. "If I'd talked that way to anyone else, they'd have sliced me open."

"That's why I'm on duty. Ends knows your sharp mouth pisses even Hands and Chains off. He needs you in one piece."

"Yeah he needs me. So why is Eve here? Let her go!" I snapped.

"You won't do a thing we ask otherwise, that and, she might run and get help." Eve and I glared at him. He turned to look at Eve. "Hey, do you know why they call me Bloody Blades?" He asked her.

"She doesn't need to know that incredibly disturbing bit of trivia Blades," I hissed. Blades ignored me and proceeded in focusing on Eve's reply. Eve shook her head.

"It's because I never clean my swords, so they're always stained in blood," Blades sneered. I made a puking motion and Eve smiled a little. Blades glared at me and slipped our food through the cell bars. "Enjoy," he muttered before walking back to his station. I took him up on that.

Train POV

"Wow…" I stared blankly at Sven.

"'Wow' what?" I asked. Sven showed me the tracer. He'd finally gotten a lock on Caress and Eve's phones, and they were a good 200 kilometers away. "What the hell? How'd they get over there?!"

"Based on what we saw from the vision, or whatever it was, I think Rumors found them," Sven replied. "That girl with the wings, who bore an uncanny resemblance to Caress, whispered something to Eve about the girl being a higher up assassin in Rumors."

"Really," I asked, "I didn't hear that."

"I read her lips."

"Why didn't you tell me you could do that Sven, or did you use your right eye?"

"Did you see me take off my eye patch? No! I don't need the Grasper Eye to read lips. That's a waste of energy. It's something I picked up as an IBI agent."

"Nice! So, how much longer?"

"I'm going to say over an hour, if I obey the speed limits," Sven replied.

"Tch. Well the sooner we get there, the better." Sven nodded.

Eve POV

I stared over at Caress as she inspected the cell from her spot on the floor. A million and one questions were running through my head, but with that Blades guy watching us, it seemed like a bad time to ask. I too began to inspect our cell. I couldn't use my nanotech without getting shocked, so using my nanoslicer was out, and there wasn't a single opening save for the slit above the barred cell door that probably only measured an inch or two in height, and the bars in the door were far too narrow. If we wanted any chance of escaping though, we'd need to free our hands and legs from the chains on the wall, which not even Caress could accomplish.

"I'm pretty sure the phrase 'deep shit' describes the situation we're in fairly well," Caress muttered as we heard a door down the hall slam shut. A look of worry crossed over Caress' human face.

"Who is it?" I asked as soft footsteps made their way to our cell.

"World's End: The Head of Rumors," she replied. Then, as if on cue, Blades dropped down from his loft, bowed, and stepped aside to reveal a man with long purple hair wearing a long, elegant robe decorated with crosses.

"Hello Caress, nice to see you again." The man spoke as if he was speaking to a long lost friend. Caress glared at him.

"Let us out, and if not me, at least her," Caress hissed, motioning to me.

"You're safe in here though," Ends said, smiling. "You know I care for you safety Caress."

"You don't care for shit!" She spat back. "You only want my angelic powers."

"Not just any angel's powers, your grandmother's; the powers of an Ai-tenshi."

"The powers on an Ai-tenshi don't make for world domination Ends! You know that quite well."

"That's why I've been developing a device that will harness your full power and channel it into a device that can be used to destroy cities, countries even; turn them to ash and ruins, and guess who our prime test candidate is" Caress' angry face was trembling; she was having difficulty holding herself together. 'Sven, hurry.'

Train POV

"How much longer?" I asked again.

"A few minutes," Sven replied. "You got a bad feeling too?" I nodded. "If what Caress says about these guys is true, we're in for one hell of a fight. You ready?" Sven asked as the car turned off onto a dirt road.

"Hell yeah," I replied as we stopped. Before us was an old, shabby building that might've been a nice factory a long time ago. "Let's go."

Caress POV

I felt my body tremble as Ends entered the cell and approached me. He slowly reached down and into my right pocket, pulling out my phone, and inspected it.

"As I expected, a tracer," he muttered. "Oh well, they don't know, do they, or they would've been with you. So who're your friends? Hmm?"

"Sweepers," I hissed. "And they'll kick your ass to hell and back." Ends laughed at this and motioned to Blades and a girl with light purple hair; Fans Dance.

"Fans, take her friend, Blades, you take Caress. It's time to begin what we've been working so hard for."

"You're forgetting one small detail, I just spread!" I hissed.

"We've been collecting your blood and feathers when you spread, turning your power's essence into a liquid form that can force a transformation by activating the angel part of your genes, even if you're human," Ends replied, motioning to my now blonde hair.

"B-But that could…" I trailed off, unable to finish.

"Kill you?" Blades finished. "Yes, there is that, but we only need you for a little bit, then we'll dispose of you, dead or not."

"Damn you!" I yelled, straining against Blades' hold on my chains.

"You'll do it, or I'll have Fans here slit your friend's throat," Ends threatened. I had no other choice but to give in.

"Fine, but you have to release Eve!"

"You're hardly in a position to bar-" Ends held up a hand to Dancey. (A/N: Ends calls her Fans, but everyone else calls her Dancey.)

"Fine, we'll honor you last request."

Minutes later, I was suspended by chains over a tank full of gold liquid; my essence. Eve had been brought in to watch. I felt tears and fear well up in me as I was lowered down. The instant my feet touched the tank a shockwave ran through me and up the chain, making it drop me into the tank. Inside, my wings burst out of my back instantly, instead of growing out like usual, turning the gold tank red with my blood. I didn't know if I was crying, there was too much happening at once. The pain. The banging of a door. Gunfire. When I looked up from my fetal position, I saw Train and Sven knocking down Secrets and Whispers alike. (A/N: Whispers are one rank below Rumors, the highest level assassin in the organization and Secrets are one rank below that.) They took out about ten Whispers and freed Eve before Rumors surrounded them. I saw Ends mouth the order to kill them. Rage overcame my angelic emotions and after several tries, I broke out of the tank, splashing bloody liquid everywhere.

"Don't touch my friends!" I yelled. I quickly made the sign of the cross, light following my finger. I drew back on part of the horizontal part of the cross and aimed with my other hand. I released and a storm of arrows of light rained down on the Rumors and Whispers, piercing them in the heart. A few Whispers died, most of the Rumors collapsed, but Ends was still standing… barely. I prepared to fire one more arrow when my power suddenly left me, the effect of my essence wearing off. I fell from the sky, unconscious.

When I opened my eyes, I was lying on a bed, bandaged up, and surrounded by my friends.

"God, how long was I out?" I asked.

"About a day," Sven replied.

"What you have to go and push yourself like that for?" Train scolded. "Sven and I had things under control."

"Oh, well excuse me for caring!" I snapped as I propped myself up. Fortunately, my hair didn't seem to have changed colors, so that was one less thing to explain. "You looked like you were in a pinch!"

"Us? In a pinch?" Train asked. "Never!"

"Why I ought to beat you upside the head!" Eve held out a frying pan. I happily took it and whacked Train over the head with it. You could hear his yell of pain for miles.

Riuko: Finally! Done! Hey, when I get to 50 reviews, I'm going to do a Q&A. Not just on White Cat, but on questions about me too. I have the right to not answer a question. Just send me a question in a review or a personal message. For the record, I have anonymous reviews enabled, so you don't have to have an account.

Caress: *groans* Worst part is, she still isn't done with the series.

Train: Review! No flames!
