Chapter 3: Silver Bullet

Leon watched with thinly veiled curiosity as Silver strode over to an abandoned ice cream cart and started scooping some out into a cone.

"Eh? Hey Leon! What kind and how many scoops?" She asked him, licking a stray bit of vanilla from her fingers.

That ice cream looked good...

"What kind is that?" He asked curiously, walking behind the cart and to her side.

"Um, Cookie Dough." She answered, checking the label.

"I'll have two scoops of that."

Silver grinned in delight, dishing it out and she grabbed his hand, dragging him away from the cart as he tried it.

"Oh my goshness this is SO GOOD!" She squealed.

Leon silently agreed, he was now officially a fan of Cookie Dough... though it was more his company that made it taste good than the actual ice cream.

Leon's curiosity grew as the object of Creed's focus - because Creed now was sure he needed her on his side- began skipping around in excitement.

"LEON CHECK THIS DEAD BODY OUT!" She suddenly yelled, pointing frantically at the corpse.

Leon grimaced, looking away. Just because he killed doesn't mean he enjoyed it.

She seemed to well enough though.

Silver Dream was holding the body up by its throat.

"Check out how it almost seems flattened." She said in marvel. "Like a huge amount of gravity crushed its bones... I've never seen anything like it."

Well that wasn't true, she'd encountered a power that increased gravity several times in the feudal era... but she wasn't telling him that.

She dropped the poor guy and skipped back to Leon's side. "So kid," He prickled and she laughed. "Sorry, I couldn't resist! Leon, do you know how to fight?" She rephrased.

He shrugged, "Yeah."

Feeling a hand wrap an arm around him and both of her hands clasping his shoulders he found himself drawn against the warmer, taller girl and blushed. "Um..."

Where had her ice cream gone?

"Have you ever killed anyone Leon?" She asked, practically forcing the younger boy to keep moving forward.

"Of course! I've killed tons of people!" He cried, glaring over his shoulder at her, she wasn't even looking.

Her eyes were planted firmly forward as she nibbled her lower lip. "That's too bad." She finally muttered.

The two licked their ice creams in silence as they came upon a rather, noisy scene. A man with silver white hair and lavender eyes stood atop a pile of debris.

A woman clad in a white jacket painted with red roses by his side.

Multiple other people were scattered around the area, all staring at them intently, but her eyes were only for a man dressed in a white lab coat. 'Impossible.'

"Leon, why have you brought this woman here?" Leon opened his mouth to answer but was cut off by a dramatic sigh from the silver-haired man. "No matter. I'll dispose of her." He drew his sword.

A smirk appeared on Silver's face. "Oh really? I'd love to see you try big guy."

"Wait, Creed."

Silver froze, as she glanced at the silver head. Her eyes turning wide with insanity, this was the man she was sent to kill!

It was finally showtime.

The doctor smirked at her. "Don't be so quick to kill this one Creed." His head tilted to the side. "She's... special."

She glared at him, before there had been a reasonable doubt... now, however, there wasn't.

She knew his voice anywhere.

She let out a silent scream, running toward him and drawing Mayonaka.

The doctor sidestepped her reckless move, grabbing her arm and forcing her to release the sword, dropping her to the ground in the process. "Don't forget Silver... I'm your creator. So I'm your master."

Her eyes narrowed, "Go to hell." She bit out, bringing her other arm around and punching him in the gut.

"UF!" He grunted dropping down beside her.

Kagome grabbed her sword and stepped over him, glaring at the little boy of the group- Leon. "What the hell do you think you're doing in a place like this! You're still a kid!"

Leo glared right back at her. "I'm not a KID!"

Kagome snorted. "How long you been telling yourself that?" She marched right up to him and grabbed him by the collar. "You listen here! Being a child is the best thing in the world and if you don't respect that I'll kick your ass into next week!" Her eyes were shadowed and her free hand shook. "If you continue down this path of destruction you are better off dead. I would know." She added, with a snarl, throwing him back into a building.

"My my, you ARE interesting." Creed's voice replied in a smug tone behind her.

Her silver eyes turned red and she seemed to bite him when she glared back at him. "Children are not to be tainted. Murdered and maimed I do not mind. But a child must never be tainted."

Creed's head tilted and his eyes narrowed slightly. "Hmm, that's a strange perspective."

Kosuke sat up, regaining his composure. "Don't taunt her Creed, she'll react badly." He adjusted his glasses with a satisfied smile when her eye twitched and red became silver once more.

"Perhaps you would like to talk about why you are so angry with me." Kosuke added, walking forward in a predatory way. "Did you not ask for more power? Did you not want to be able to destroy every, living being on this earth?"

Kagome glared at him. "You know damn well that-"

"CREED!"

"Ahhh welcome Train, I must admit when I was told you'd accepted my invitation I felt it was too good to be true! But you're here now, as promised!"

"Why did you have to kill her?" Train yelled back.

Kagome turned around and froze. 'Well the boy's a looker, I'll give him that.'

In looks he was exactly as Sephiria had described, shaggy brown hair and yellow eyes. He looked so angry, it was a shame. 'Do I look like that?' She'd often found herself resenting the world, as well as all its inhabitants. Did she get that look on her face?

"I'd kill the whore again to see this look in your eyes." Creed replied, happily. "The celebration of the Apostles of the Stars has now begun! You and Silver will join us! It shall be a new era!"

Both Train and Kagome glared at him and said as one, "Like hell! I'm not joining you!"

"I'll never forgive you for what you did!" They added, speaking of different people.

Kagome was talking to Kosuke while Train was Creed... and he immediately attacked him.

Kagome went for the less... reckless approach.

She looked for any weaknesses Creed might have had while Train attempted -and failed- to beat the living shit out of him.

...There weren't any weaknesses.

Creed obviously didn't care about anyone but Train so there was no using his teammates against him either...

"Perhaps you are more like me than you would like to admit." Kosuke murmured, his voice extremely close to her ear.

She suddenly found herself aware of a small pistol pressed against the small of her back.

Kosuke wrapped his other arm around her waist to keep her from pulling away.

"But despite that your attempt at researching your opponent, was mediocre at best. You failed if I'd include the fact that you blocked out the other noise around you, knowing you had more than one enemy." He inhaled against her neck, breathing in the scent of her hair. "Hmm. You still carry the scent of a coming storm and wild jasmine. Lovely."

"Shut up, Kosuke." She snapped back.

"Hmmm, now I want you to observe your opponent once more. What do you think would happen if you took Train hostage? Would Creed kill him and you? Or would you both escape?"

Kagome looked back at the situation, thinking about every earlier move. "Creed respects talent and every mistake makes your 'talent' decrease a little more in his opinion. So the very fact that Train would get caught would seem a loss of talent in his book. However, from the yelling, I gather that Creed is blaming every loss of talent on Train's part on some girl."

"Good, good. You're listening then."

"JOIN US! Together we can create a better world, Train!"

Train was now being held down by an insect, with his gun weighed down because of the gravity dude. "I'm not going to join you! EVER!"

Creed let out a stressed sigh, "Come on Tra-"

"TRAIN!" Another voice yelled, a man with green hair and yellow eyes followed the voice staring at him in panic.

Creed turned to him and Kagome looked at the man behind him readying his gun... to aim at Train? No. 'Sephiria... I can't allow him to be hurt!'

"A sweeper? What is a scum like you doing h-"

In this moment three things happened.

The first was that the man with green hair realized he couldn't make it to Train in time to help.

Second, a shot rang out as the bone masked man pulled the trigger.

Third, Kagome broke free of Kosuke's hold and jumped in the way.

Silence rained throughout the area, despite the small struggles on Train's part.

"It's nice to know that my new subordinate already has undying loyalty to Train." Creed finally said, before getting a put out expression. "Oh Train I'm sorry! This wasn't how our reunion was supposed to be! But, I'm afraid I must go." He sighed dramatically. "I know you won't change your mind today, but make no mistake I'm not giving up on you. I'll leave Silver in your care, you two can bond before I pick you up." With that he and his men escaped into the void.

Train got up and immediately started shooting, which Kagome thought was pretty stupid, but Hey! If it was her enemy getting away she'd probably be doing that too... oh wait Creed was her enemy.

"Is it too late for me to do what Black Cat was?" She muttered lowly to herself, a feeling of faintness took over.

'No I can't! I have to get back to h-head... quarters. Bu-But this p-pile of d-debris sure is c-comfy...'

"Damn it Train! That girl just took a bullet for you!" Sven yelled pointing at the now unconscious girl on the ground.

"So what's the big deal! It's just a bullet!" Train shot back, glaring at him.

"Bullet's are painful, and that girl doesn't know you." Eve interrupted.

Train blinked, she was right. He didn't know this girl...

"Creed is interested in her." Rinslet suddenly piped up. "We should keep an eye out."

"I'll leave Silver in your care, you two can bond before I pick you up."

"Why would we do that! Let's just leave her here!" Train yelled, glaring.

He wasn't in the mood for all this! Creed... he'd slipped right out from his fingers without even putting in an effort! 'Saya I'm sorry.'

"Train we can't let her die!" Sven yelled, plucking the injured girl from the ground. "Eh... no way..." He muttered, staring at her left shoulder. "What is it Sven?" Rinslet asked, looking at him curiously.

"This is just impossible." He continued, completely unaware of the thief trying to peek over his shoulder. "Just... no."

He shook it off and started off running toward his car, ignoring the cries of protest from the other members.

"What happened back there Sven?" Rinslet asked.

When they'd gotten back to the hotel room, Sven hadn't allowed anyone to see her.

He'd basically locked himself in the room with her to bandage her arm and ignored any protests from the female members.

That was almost five days ago.

"... I just don't know how to say this." He sighed, running his fingers through his hair. The attention of Eve and a very grumpy Train was caught and they eyed him curiously.

"You saw something." Rinslet clarified.

"Look we have to give her a chance!" Sven howled, getting up and pacing around. "We gave Train a chance!..."

There was a few minutes of silence.

"...She's a number?" Train finally asked.

Sven nodded grimly. "Number 13. Your replacement I'm guessing."

Train's brow wrinkled. "They did that? Why? There were only supposed to be 12 numbers, they made an exception because of my talents, but I was told there wouldn't be a replacement if I died. No more 13s."

Rinslet got up, soothing out her skirt. "Then I'm guessing this girl has some talents of her own. You guys saw the dual swords and the gun right? Because she's a number, I'm guessing she's very handy with both of them. Will you let us in there now Sven?" Rinslet asked, looking at him worriedly. "Train might be able to find out if it's a fake tattoo for some girl who wanted to be more popular of something..."

That seemed to perk Sven up.

He smiled slightly, "Yeah, come on in. You're probably right... just some high school girl..." He continued muttering as he opened the door and let them in the room.

Train walked forward, seeing a corner of the tattoo that hidden by bandages. "Hey Train!" Sven yelled, when he began to undo them.

"I have to make sure!" Train snapped back.

He poked it, remembering how sore his was when he'd first got it.

Plus, he seriously doubted she'd had it long...

The girl's eyelashes fluttered.

"Hmm... B-Black C-Cat?" She stuttered sleepily, looking at him with heavily squinted eyes.

"How did you know it was him?" Rinslet muttered, not expecting an answer.

"S-Sephiria never s-shuts up about h-him." The girl muttered, falling unconscious.

Train's fist clenched, "She's definitely a number."

"Train what's wrong?" Rinslet asked cautiously... she didn't like how he was eyeing the poor kid.

His hand moved to his gun and it was aimed at her head less than a second later. "I told you we should have left her back there." He snapped.

"Train, don't shoot!" Sven yelled, glaring at him.

"She's one of them! Not all members of Cronos are as nice as I am, Creed is proof of that." Train growled back, but he didn't pull the trigger.

"If she was really the enemy she wouldn't have taken a bullet for you." Eve said suddenly, looking at her intently.

"Eh? Eve what's wrong? You look..." Sven trailed off, watching her with curiosity.

Eve blinked, turning eyes to him. "I smell blood. She is covered in blood. " With that said, Eve walked out of the room quietly.

Rinslet followed her and Train put away his gun, glaring as he sat back in a chair near the bed.

Sven raised an eyebrow at him silently.

"What?!" Train snapped, "I'm gonna make sure she doesn't kill any of you when she wakes up!"

Sven sighed, "Then help me put her bandage back on."
