みなさん、今日は！　読んで下さい！ This isn’t the first fanfic I’ve written, but it’s the first one that, in my opinion, is good enough to post. And I hope you guys enjoy it too. It’s rated T, but as the story progresses, it will be changed to M with some nice little yaoi parts. There will be a Train/Creed pairing, but I’ll most likely have hints of other pairings. If there are any pairing you want to me to write about, just ask, I’ll see if I can work it in. Also, I haven’t seen the anime, but I’m sure that it has some additional information that I should keep in mind, so right now I’m using the Wikipedia page to make sure that this fanfic is consistent with both the anime and manga. But it’s not being very helpful. If someone would give me a fairly detailed summary of the anime, I’d greatly appreciate it.

Disclaimer: I don’t own Black Cat or any of the characters. I do, however, own a pencil, which I use to twist the plots and characters of various manga to my liking. Hold on…. No, that was my sister’s pencil… Never mind.

Train was on the roof, lounging peacefully in the sun. He wasn’t exactualy sure what kind of building he was on, but he guessed it to be an apartment due to the muffled sounds of everyday life. His sensitive ears picked up sounds of adults arguing, children playing, dishes clanking together. As he gazzed out toward the setting sun, he heard quiet footsteps approaching. He grabbed Hades, the gun given to him by Chronos, jumped up and aimed, all in one fluid movement. He frowned for a second, annoyed that he was slower than usual because he wasn’t accustomed to the new gun yet. He had just gotten it a few days before, when he had joined the Chrono Numbers. The orichalcum (1) barrel glinted in the sun as Train focused on the intruder.

It was a tall, skinny, feminine-looking man, who appeared to be about the same age as Train. He was smiling slightly, watching the eraser.

“Who the hell are you?!” He narrowed his eyes into a death glare.

The stranger laughed lightly, “The stories about you are true after all, my dear Black Cat. You are truly befitting of your name.”

Train’s eyes widended slightly before quickly returining to his glare. “Answer the question.” The angry gunman took a few cautious steps forward while watching the stranger’s movements carefully. If he went for a weapon, he would get a bullet lodged in this skull so fast that he would know the real meaning of the name Black Cat.

When Train didn’t get his answer, he took a few more steps, pressing Hades’ barrel against the other man’s forehead.

“Answer now, or I will erase you.” Train’s cold voice seemed to make the rest of the world stand still, as though it was waiting. Waiting for either the sttanger’s answer or his blood.

The stranger’s smile grew, seeming pleased that he was being threatened.

“What’s wrong with this guy?! There is a gun pointed at his head, he could very well die in the next few seconds, and he’s smiling?! It seems that I have a tendency to attract all sorts of weirdos…”

“I am Creed Diskenth.”

“Finaly, an answer! I was starting to think that I’d actualy have to shoot him just to find out if he was capable of forming any kind of sound.”

“I am also a Chronos Eraser…”

“Well, that explains everything.”

“….although I don’t have the distinction of being one of the elite Chronos Numbers, unlike you.”

Creed laughed again. “Actualy, they used the word ‘unstable’… I thought that you had no idea who I was...?”

“I don’t… It was a guess….”

“Oh well. I’m sure that we’ll get to know each other very well.”

Creed reached to touch Train’s face. But his attempt was foiled when Train sighed and finaly lowered his gun, taking a step back.

“I have a mission I must complete,” the gunman said as he returned Hades to it’s holster. He ran to the edge of the roof and proceded to jump off, landing on a nearby building. He paused for a second and yelled, “Good bye, Diskenth.” Then he continued toward his target, wispering to himself, “hopefully our paths won’t cross again.”

(1) The spelling of orichalcum differs depending where you find it, so I chose the spelling that I perfered.

Sorry if It was kinda short. The next chapter will be longer hopefully.

Please review! I don't mind criticism, but I'd appreciate it if you included suggestions to fix the problem.

And, my sister was just reading it and she kept pointing out my typos. So now I have a beta! And any problems are her fault!
