Surprise!!! ... What?
Here's the fifth/sixth chapter of AN... An what? Never mind. Heheh. Enjoy.
Disclaimer: I do not own Black Cat in anyway, but apparently, according to Sven a couple of chapters back, I own the characters' souls... Neat.
Warning: This is a yaoi. If you don't know what that means and really don't have a good feeling about the word, just hit the back button and find a different story that doesn’t have the word yaoi in it, kay? Then we can all be friends and I won't have to send evil curses after you. :D (I'm just kidding, there are no curses involved in what I do... yet.)
Chapter Five: Surprise!!! ... What?
By: Asura Mori
It was of no surprise, not even to him, that the moment Creed left, Train started looking for any type of exit. There was no way in hell he was going to stick around here long enough for the Doctor’s “surprise”. He already had a good idea of what this “surprise” might be and really didn’t want to wait around to be forced to drink it.
One of the things he noticed almost immediately was that Hades, his engraved pistol, was missing. Of course, Creed would take his beloved weapon, Train thought with a roll of his golden eyes. Would anybody have been stupid enough to leave him, of all people, with a way out?
No, but he had hoped so.
Growling in frustration, Train proceeded to check the room for escape routes, but upon further inspection could only come to one conclusion: no such thing existed. There wasn’t even a fucking window in the room, let alone anything, minus the bed, he could use to break down the door. Though he had a feeling the door was probably reinforced with some weird Tao power or something.
“God dammit…” This was getting annoying. Why couldn’t Creed be like normal bad guys? Normal bad guys challenged their adversaries to a life/death battle and that was that. Normal bad guys didn’t try and rape the good guy. It just didn’t work that way.
Or at least that was how he saw it. After all, maybe the bad guy handbook had changed recently to include rape in the manual. It was plausible… and why the hell was he even thinking about this?
Shaking his head, angry at himself for becoming so distracted, Train turned to look at the door. As this was his only possible way of escaping, there was no doubt inside his mind that it was reinforced. There was just no way in hell it wasn’t protected some way.
Unless Creed really was as stupid as he looked…
But Train knew better. Creed wasn’t as stupid as he looked (I know. Shocker, right?) and if he knew the man as well as he thought he did… the door was probably booby-trapped.
Sadly, he wouldn’t know until he tried. With a resigned sigh, Train went back over to the bed, glad to see that it at least had a sturdy frame, and, with a grunt, lifted the entire thing and threw it at the door.
He dodged just in time. Upon impact against the door, the bed came flying back, denting the floor where Train had stood only seconds before. The brunette glanced over at the bed, which was smoking, less than impressed and not at all surprised.
Creed would set the door up to repel things, of which Train had no doubt that if he so much as flicked it that the door would send him flying. And if the smoke emitting from the bed was any indication, his hands would be sporting several third degree burns.
Irritated beyond measure, Train sat on the floor, since the bed was now out of commission, and stared at the door, his legs tensed to spring as soon as the door opened. He would get out of here, no matter what, even if it meant dog-piling the next person who came through the door.

“The Black Cat doesn’t seem to like his accommodations, Master Creed.” The silver-haired man laughed in response to Shiki’s words, not at all surprised. He had expected Train to try and escape, but knew him not foolish enough to ram the door.
It only made his respect for the man grow.
Train was brilliant, ruthless, and beautiful… or at least he had been before that bitch had ruined him. But he would fix that. Just as soon as the Doctor finished making his ‘surprise’.
He would have his partner back… no matter what. Even if he had to carve that witch out of Train’s heart with his own hands, he would have his Train back.

Train tensed as he watched the door open, ready to bombard the person who came through. There was no way he was staying in this room for another minute, no way in hell. Just as he was about to jump the person, he froze, his golden eyes a mask of pain.
Glancing down at his arm, Train felt his eyes widen. How…? There, on his arm, was one of Shiki’s many insects. The sweeper could feel his limbs becoming heavy as he dropped to the floor. But he didn’t understand. How had the bug gotten him? There was no way in hell that he would drop his guard like that. It shouldn’t have been able to touch him… so how…?
Through sheer anger, Train forced himself to turn his head and found his answer. While being distracted by the opening of the door, Echidna had used her power to make a portal in the room. Shiki had then summoned up one of his insects, thus using it to immobilize the ex-assassin.
Clever… Train fell back to the floor with a groan, his vision becoming hazy. He hated this feeling, this feeling of powerlessness. It forced him to remember that night when he couldn’t save Saya from dying. How he hated the feeling.
Train was almost positive that he was about to black out, but then found that although he couldn’t move, he was still conscious (which, in his opinion, was worse). He groaned inwardly as Creed’ smiling face came into view, his thoughts black. If only he could move…
But he couldn’t, much to his disappointment, as he saw this as a good time to attack Creed. Oh well. There would be other chances… right…?
His ex-partner, still smiling, placed his hand over the sweeper’s eyes, his own eyes serene. “Don’t worry, Train. I’ll help you break that witch’s curse… I’ll help you forget all about her.”
