Chapter Eight: In This Moment
By: Asura Mori
“And that, as they say, is that… Good-bye, Mr. Sweeper.”
Train struggled, he really did. But that didn’t stop the needle from puncturing his skin, allowing that foul liquid to enter his bloodstream. He tried to let out a scream, but his body was paralyzed. Yet he could feel the liquid surging through his body, slowly sucking away any recollection of his time as a sweeper.
The brunette tried to lift his hand up, grasping at his fading memories, grabbing at his friends’ faces and names… but he just couldn’t. It was all too far away. A woman’s face floated before him, tantalizingly near, and he opened his mouth to utter her name one last time.
“Saya…”
And then she was gone, a brief candle in the sea of darkness that sought to overtake him. Golden orbs fluttered closed as the injection reached its destination, putting him into a deep sleep as his memories were rewritten… erasing his time as a Sweeper completely and leaving no trace behind.
Train Heartnet was gone.

Creed Diskenth paced back and forth, his eyes glancing from the sleeping Train to a nearby wall and then back again, anxiety radiating off of him like a beacon of light. The Doctor really wanted to turn around and tell him to cut it out, but he still remembered the man’s warning from earlier. So he forced himself to ignore his leader’s annoying habit, and instead focused on the sleeping brunette.
As far as he could tell, Train’s body was accepting the drug without any problems, which was a good sign. If all continued to go well, the assimilation from sweeper back to assassin would be simple.
But then the brunette started twitching, thrashing back and forth, as if fighting against an assailant. Sweat dripped from the Doctor’s brow as he watched, gnawing at his bottom lip. This wasn’t good… Heartnet was resisting the drug, refusing to let go of his memories.
And what sane man would? It was one’s memories that made a man, one’s experiences. To forget all of them, all that he had witnessed, forced to remember things that never happened… would be like throwing a man who couldn’t swim into the deep-end of the pool.
He watched as Train’s body arched up into the air, a wordless scream issuing from the sleeping man’s mouth, a small sliver of pity entering his heart. Even with this pity, though, it wasn’t enough to force the Doctor’s hand and make him stop this whole operation.
Train’s body slowly stopped convulsing and reverted back to the sleeping state the sweeper had been in earlier, a sigh of barely concealed relief issuing from the Doctor. If Heartnet had fought much longer, there could have been serious consequences…
“Saya…”
The name escaped from the brunette’s lips, regret filling his voice. The Doctor turned to look at Creed out of the corner of his eye, noting the livid expression on the man’s face. As the silver-haired man started forward, however, he held up a hand.
“Don’t.” The Doctor muttered, looking back at Train, “You step in now and the process will be ruined. If I’m correct… the Black Cat is about to awaken once again.”
This, more than the Doctor’s earlier command, made Creed stop. An almost happy grin spread across his face and Creed fell to his knees, staring at Train in utter adoration. “My dearest Train… finally, after all these years… you will finally return to my side…” He whispered, violet eyes aglow with that mad light so often seen by those around him.
It was at this moment that Train suddenly let out a groan and amber orbs opened, dazed and lost. Creed got to his feet relatively quickly and went to the brunette’s side, a hopeful look on his face as he again dropped to his knees, this time by Train.
“Train…”
The brunette looked over at the sound of his name, still slightly out of it. Upon seeing Creed sitting above him, though, Train smiled and let out a husky sigh.
“Creed.” And then… “Why the hell am I lying on the floor?”
Creed laughed, the sound like music. “How I’ve missed you, dear heart.” Train smiled and sat up, allowing the silver-haired man to embrace him. “It’s not as if I went anywhere, Creed.” The brunette laughed, “After all, you are my partner.”
To be continued…
