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

Eve: Am I coming in?

14AmyChan: As soon as possible~! *^_^*

Train: At least now I won't have another fangirl…

Elsewhere

Creed and Kyoko: Trainy/Mister Black Cat called me his fangirl! :squee:

Back where we are

Train: Ah-choo!

Saya: Gezunteit! :)

Rinslet: *staring daggers*

Sven: Well, read on.

Flashback:

Saya walked over to Train instantly when Blondie said "I like you two, a lot~!" That woman made Saya uneasy. "Consider this a bit of mischief, mister Black Cat" the woman said as she pulled off her wig to reveal purple hair.

Flashback end.

Train weaved his hand into Saya's discreetly so she could have some peace of mind as the purple-haired girl continued. "I just needed to know if you were the Black Cat is all" she said with a smirk in her tone. "All I needed to do was bat my eyes and you were on board! I mean seriously!"

Train could feel Saya tense up, so he gave her hand a squeeze. She settled down a bit, but her hand was still tense.

"Oh" the mystery lady said, as if she just remembered something. "I always work in disguise. If my cover's blown, I'm out of a job."

"So, who are you?" Train finally asked. It seemed like she was just messing with them. And Train was a cat, not a cat toy. He didn't like being played with.

"Rins" she answered simply. "Rinslet Walker. I'm a thief, ever heard of me?"

"As in the infamous thief who steals anything for a price?" Saya asked, throwing 'price' as a jab. It was a serious question, and Rinslet gave a serious answer.

"I have clients from mob gangs to government officials," Rinslet said with pride. "I'm glad that even someone like you would know my name. So much that I want to work with you."

No one saw that coming. Especially since the girls were practically staring each other into another death glare match.

"We're sweepers, not criminals" Train said bluntly. "Go find someone else."

"But that would mean giving a half-million bounty to some other sweeper who probably wouldn't be able to handle the job" Rinslet said. "And that's no fun at all."

"What bounty?" Sven asked with a guarded voice.

"This bounty" Rinslet said, flashing a picture of Torneo Rudman to the three sweepers. All three of them knew what a large bounty this was. It could pull them out of debt.

"So, after we got this guy" Saya began. "What would stop us from gathering a bounty on a certain thief-for-hire?"

"This certain thief-for-hire won't get a bounty on her head" Rinslet said smugly. "Because this thief has government clients." Suddenly, Rinslet turned deadly serious. "Now you have two choices: Run like cowards, or take a gamble and join up with me" Rinslet turned heel and started walking away. "If you're in, meet me in Sapioda in three days. If not, then don't show. See if I care." Rinslet walked away with a 'Ciao!' as her goodbye.

"You can't be serious!" Saya and Sven said at the same time. Train just leaned against the wall of their hideout with a mischievous grin on his face. They were now in one of their hideouts, discussing Rinslet's offer.

"Why not?" Train asked innocently, getting off of the wall. He looked out of the window when he noticed something.

"I get chivalry and everything" Sven began. "But why should we trust this woman?" Train opened up the window.

"We shouldn't" Saya pointed out. "All we know about her is bad news! Train, you seriously-?"

Saya was interrupted by a gunshot. From Hades. From her spot on the couch, Saya could see that Train had just shot a telescopic bird from about 100 meters away. Saya just metally proved her point. This woman was spying on them. Spying!

"Come on, guys" Train said, facing his two friends. "The risk is almost as high as the reward, and besides…" Saya saw a cold hard glint in his eyes. "This woman wants to con me. That's not good for my rep."

Saya relaxed. Train didn't like being played with. At the same moment, Rinslet was moping about how much that telescopic bird had cost her, and how she was going to get her way.

14AmyChan: Here's a very late chapter~! *^_^*

Rinslet: why am I the bad guy here?

14AmyChan: because Saya's here, and you harbor an interest in Train. *^_^*

Saya: mine. *guarding Train*

Train: *whispers in Saya's ear*

Saya: fine… *moves out of the way*

Train: You think you can con us, you got another thing coming. *grin*

Rinslet: -.-'
