It's hard to say what that man's thinking. Of course it would be. He use to be in the famous organization – Chronoes. He may have lightened up since then, but I can tell that there's always something – a darkness – deep in him. It's something that drives him. Honestly? I think it's about that girl he – according to him they we're just friends, but I have reasons to believe otherwise – was once with, Saya. It's always about her. Why can't he see...That she's dead. But I'm right here, in front of him.

"Train, where on earth are we going?" I asked slightly annoyed he brought me on his adventure game. I was in one of my most beautiful – and expensive – dresses. Baby blue silk fabric that clung to my body – complementing my deadly curves. The shoulders we're about two inches thick and the cut down to the middle ran all the way down to my belly button. Yup, I was looking good – in ANY mans eyes. Even Trains.

"I could be dancing and getting men to buy me drinks, not down here in the sewers," I groaned.

"Aw, come on Rinslet, keep us company". Train spoke for Eve, Woodney and River – a sweeper with a bad sense of directions.

My glare softened into a smile. That was one of the most amazing things I found in him – well one of them – he said what he really wanted. If he didn't want me to be here with him then he would have said so.

"Fine," I sighed "so what exactly are we looking for?"

Little Eve handed me a picture "Flora".

I examined it carefully. It was a old women – a rich one at that – with a long beak nose holding a rather large lizard. Or that's what it seemed to look like. I remember when they bumped into me Train had impersonated the madam saying something about a lizard – but why would it cause such a ruckus. It looked more like a -

Down the dark tunnel was a blood-curtailing roar. It shook the whole damn place ! There was no way it was a lizard.

"Train! This isn't a -"

He silenced my voice, by holding up his arm. I gulped. I was facing his back, but I could see the frustrated look on his face. That's because I knew Train. He's the one that saves me, helps me, treats me, flatters me, complements me. He's the one I -

"No," I shook my head and the others gave me a strange look.

I couldn't think of Train like that. It just wasn't right. Besides, I'm sick of being hurt by men, one was enough and it drove me to be like this – a thief. I don't know how I would be able to handle myself if he rejected me. So I couldn't say that. I couldn't say I loved him. It was to dangerous.

"Come on, lets keep heading down the direction where that noise came from," Train finally said and turned to face us. His eyes we're directly on me, in those beautiful gold eyes I could almost see him begging me to come. To bad he doesn't know who he's dealing with.

I shook my head and put on my best shocked/scared face "are you crazy! It's bad enough you brought me here in the first place, there's no way I'm going after that thing !" I would have clicked my heels to prove a point, but I was standing in ankel deep water. Gross.

He didn't look hurt, he understood and his eyes scanned to the next person – River.

"N-No way man I'm not -"

"I thought you we're going to protect me?" I repeated his earlier words right after we had run into him.

A defeated sigh is all it took and they we're on their way down that dark tunnel.

I crossed my arms and sighed. Woodney – who was carrying Eve on his shoulders was going on about something, but I didn't have the patience to listen to it. My mind was on other things. Stupid Train I grumbled to myself. I imagined him looking at me with his light eyes, just peering into me. The way they begged I almost fell to my knees. Maybe other girls would have fallen under his spell – the one I'm more then positive he knew about – like Kyoko and even Eve. But not this girl. His mind was almost to easy to read, I looked absolutely amazing so any guy would want a piece. That concept applied to Train Heartnet as well.

Almost a second later, there they we're running like crazy men. The whole place shook again and loud, deadly footsteps were on their tails. I was right. This was NO lizard.

I wasn't a fool, I quickly tugged on Woodneys are, my eyes wide and straight ahead.

"Run," I whispered but he didn't have much brain power to comprehend which way. Instead of running away, he ran towards Train.

"Brother!"

"Run!" Train yelled after he ran past Woodney. No way was I going to get caught in this mess, I ran and almost tripped. Damn, running in heels and submerged in water wasn't good. But I wasn't going to be a damsel in distress, I lifted the skirt of that beautiful dress and moved my legs as fast as I could. I wasn't as fast as Train, but I was faster then River. It felt like we had been running for hours, my lungs ached and I felt myself slowing down. Then Trains hand wrapped around my wrist and he was pulling me to keep going.

"Come on, you can't stop now Rins".

He was right, I couldn't stop. We ran together his hand touching my sensitive, burning skin. Then he stopped at a latter and lifted me up I grabbed onto it and scurried up knowing everyone else was on it too.

On my way up I must have hit my head, because I saw Sven peering down at me. I couldn't stop I reminded myself and pushed past him. But just then the strap to my heel got stuck on the latter. I dropped to the ground and frantically looked at my shoe. Then I saw Train, Eve and River jump out of the hole. And then Woodneys dumbstruck en face appeared and the ground below me exploded.

I don't know if I had fallen, or maybe just been ripped apart but I felt horrible. I felt that sticky liquid oozing out of my body. It was true what people had said, if you bleed enough you can eventually smell it. My body ached and it felt like every limb was just barely hanging on. Especially my leg – the one that was stuck. If I was in the right of mind I would have thought it had gotten pulled right out of the socket. My head pounded and I thought for sure my whole skull was going to bust open. I tried opening my eyes and black dots blurred my vision. My name was being said over and over in a sweet, velvety, husky voice that could only belong to one person. Train.

After that my vision was blinded by a white light and then just like that it went black. It didn't take a genius to know, I had passed out.

Authors Statement:

I've always really like Rinslet and Train as a couple. They almost are made for eachother. So anyways, this is the first chapter to the series, I think this will be just a short - 5 chapter story.

I know the title for this story is totally crappy, but I was having a hard time with the summery and I thought "Screw it".

Yes I am changing ALOT of the wording and events in the anime, but I'm trying to make it realistic with a spin. If it REALLY bothers you then all I can say is stop reading it then. It's as simple as that.

The storyline to this story just came to me and i thought crap I'm going to forget it. So I'm working on 2 stories at once - and with ADD that is NOT a good thing. So I'm going to try not to get the plots confused and try to upload the right ones to the right story.

This story is just going to go through - from Rinslet's prespective - her conflicting feelings for Train and all her missions and stuff. It's mostly centered around Train and her so it'll focus more on that then anything else.

I totally forgot that ladys name, the owner of Flora so if I happen to watch it this week I'll definatly fix that - or maybe not I dunno.

So I hope you enjoy the new series and keep those reveiws and comments coming !

Thanks!

Cassie.
