14AmyChan: I don't own anything~! *^_^*

Train: You've been gone awhile…

14AmyChan: Yeah, but I'm back now~! *^_^*

Saya: Well, hurry up and write!

14AmyChan: Okay~! *^_^*

Train and Saya stood in front of Caffe Cait Sith, unsure of what to do next. They both felt great that everything got cleared away and it seemed like they were going to be traveling together for a long time. But-

"What do we do now?" Saya asked the question that, until now, had no voice. She knew as well as he did that they had dragged in people that could have lived without their issues. How on earth were they ever going to ever make it up to the two people who took them both in to sort out their issues?

"I don't know" Train said honestly. He knew as well as she did that they had dragged two uninvolved people into a dangerous situation that they could have lived a long time not getting caught up in. "Apologize?"

"That's better than nothing, I guess…" Saya said uncertainly. Train picked up on the almost invisible signs of insecurity that Saya was giving off. He wasn't sure about what to do, so he simply weaved his hand through hers and tried that new thing he learned. You know, smiling from the heart. It seemed to make her feel a little better, so he led her into the restaurant.

…/…/…/

Sven looked over when he heard the bell above the door, signaling the entry of new potential customers. He was expecting Train and this Saya girl to come back, but not hand-in-hand. He could also tell that they were unsure of what to say. So Sven, ever being the gentleman he is, broke the ice.

"So what's the plan now?" he asked, waving over to the two seats next to him. As the awkward couple sat down, he thought about the first time he saw them together. Even back then it was apparent that they had it for each other, but now it was just a little more obvious. And even though Train was a black hole when it came to food, he was really helpful in the middle of a job, and he was sure that Train wouldn't want to leave without Saya.

"I don't want to put Saya in any more danger" Train said immediately. "But if we took up jobs that made us stay in one spot, then we'd just be vulnerable to attacks…" after a second of thought, he added "…and I'm pretty sure Saya doesn't want me to worry my head off…"

"I also want my say in this" Saya piped in. Sven noticed that she still had those cat ears and then noticed that she was wearing something around her neck. It wasn't unusual for women to wear necklaces, but this was like Train's collar, only blue. Did they get them that way…? Sven wondered before Saya continued. "Train and I already decided that we're going to be traveling together, but we still need to talk to you two for dragging you two into this."

"Not to put a damper on your plans" Sven said. "But how are you going to get around? Train's bike is wrecked." It was true. In the Parodem Gang incident, Train had used his bike as a flashy entrance and it got completely trashed. Sven saw that Train and Saya were trying to brainstorm on it, so he just made the same offer he made to just Train. "You two can come along with me" he offered. Seeing their look of shock, he added "Just help out with the bounties and I won't have a problem."

"You sure?" Train asked him seriously. Sven could see no problem with it, so long as Train and Saya kept their eyes on the prize, then all was good.

"You won't mind if I resign, would you Annette?" Saya asked Annette, who, until now, was just watching on with a smile.

"Nah" Annette said, walking over to the edge of the counter and pulling out rice balls. "Just make sure that you don't give Sven too hard of a time."

"We won't" Train said, grabbing one of the rice balls of off the plate. He took a big bite and enjoyed the moment for what it was. Sven and Saya were scolding him for grabbing a rice ball without saying thanks, Annette was sighing like she was in the presence of a helpless idiot, and Train was just grinning. Because he was having fun. Because it was a fun night.

If only it could have stayed that way…

14AmyChan: I'M SO BACK~! *^_^* Hope you liked the chapter~! *^_^*

Train: Finally.

Saya: No more threatening to end the story like that. You promised you would put Eve in…
