Chapter Fifteen: Real and Fake

By: Asura Mori

Train surveyed the damage to Sven's body and let out a 'tsk' noise. Doctor sure had done a number on the poor sap.

After the confrontation in the hall, Sven and Eve had been taken up to the brunette's quarters, where a small medical room had been set up. Train had moved quickly, staunching the flow of blood from the many cuts on Sven's body, some of them deep, others shallow. He treated the ones that looked the worst first, using anti-septic to cleanse them of any possible infection. He bound the deeper cuts with cloth, growling in frustration when some of them bleed through almost immediately.

Throughout it all, Eve just sat silently, her pink eyes never leaving the unconscious sweeper. If she cried, Train never saw it. Two hours later, Sven was stable and sleeping peacefully.

Train sat down on his bed, exhausted. It had taken him two hours to stabilize the sweeper... He could say this for the Doctor, the man was thorough. He had caused Sven enough pain that he had thought he was dying, but had kept him alive long enough to fully torture him. The brunette wasn't sure how long he'd been knocked out, but it had been enough time for the Doctor to do this much damage...

That man was not one to be ignored, that was for sure.

Then again, the fact that Sven was still alive said something as well. A normal person would have already died from those wounds, yet this sweeper was fighting with everything he had. Train looked at the little blonde girl out of the corner of his eyes. He wondered, was it for her? Or was it his own will to live? Either way, the man was impressive, to say the least.

A knock on his door had Train back on his feet. "Come in." He called out, putting a hand on the girl's shoulder. "Say nothing." He whispered to her, "I'll take care of it." Creed and the Doctor came into the room, with the Doctor remaining by the door, his arms crossed over his chest. Creed continued into the room, until he was standing directly in front of Train.

He smiled, but his violet eyes were cold as he looked down at Eve. "I heard that you had some trouble, Train. I came to see if you were all right." Creed turned his eyes to the brunette as he spoke, the orbs lightening almost immediately. Train watched the change with interest, figuring out quite easily that his lover didn't like the girl for some reason. "I'm fine, Creed. As you can see, I have the situation under control." He smiled at Creed, trying to relieve the other man's worries, but his words seemed to have no effect.

Creed frowned, looking over at Sven. "Doctor told me that you wanted them brought up here... But why, Train? Why not just... kill them and be done?"

Train bit his lip, trying to think of an answer. He couldn't tell Creed about his confusion, about his debate of whether or not his memories were real. It would just upset the man. "I... I wanted them alive, so that I could interrogate them. I want to know what their purpose was in coming here. If their answers are not satisfactory... I will kill them."

"We will kill them, beloved." Creed smiled, leaning in to peck Train softly on the lips. "After all, they have inconvenienced both of us. You will find, Train, that you are wasting your time on these two. They are nothing more than con-artists, here to take you away from me with false information. Do not let their words deceive you, my love. All they want is drive us apart. Remember that."

With that said, Creed turned and beckoned to the Doctor, and the two men left, leaving Train with the girl and the unconscious sweeper. He ran a hand through his hair, the other hand on his hip, and stared up at the ceiling. He wanted to believe Creed's words... But there was just too much that didn't make sense... An image of that woman in the kimono flashed through his thoughts...

Who was she? He knew her name, Saya... but who had she been to him? He looked over at the little girl, who was staring at him. The intensity of her gaze was a bit intimidating, so he looked away first. "Uh... are you... hungry?" He finally asked. He wasn't good with kids...

Eve seemed to think about it for a few seconds, then nodded. Train let out a sigh. Okay, maybe this wasn't gonna be as hard as he had first thought...

"Dammit!"

A vase shattered against the wall, thrown in Creed's anger. He breathed heavily, still bent over from throwing the piece. He stared at the floor, his violet eyes swirling with a multitude of emotions.

"Everything... Everything is falling apart. They've come to take him away again, to take MY Train... I won't let them... They can't have him... That witch can't have him!"

He began to pace. Back and forth, back and forth. "I have to do something. Train, my Train, I can't lose you again. We're so close... soooo close. It's all that witch's fault... If she hadn't gotten in the way, I never would have lost you in the first place. And now they've come to get you back... Forcing you to remember... But I won't let them... They can't have you... After all, I'm the only one who really understands you, Train... my dear, dear Black Cat... You are mine, as I am yours..."

He stopped his restless pacing and looked up at the ceiling, hysterical laughter bubbling up past his lips. "That's right... I can still save you, Train. I can fix it all, make it like it used to be... You'd like that, wouldn't you... Train? You would, I know... Just you and me, like it should be... I'll get rid of them, make them all disappear... then we can be happy, like we wanted to be... The answer to all our troubles, Letheium... it will make it all right..."

"Shiki."

The Taoist appeared instantly, bowing. "You called, Creed?" "Bring Train to me. I have to speak with him." Creed ordered, his violet eyes glowing. Shiki nodded his understanding and disappeared in a swarm of insects. Humming to himself, Creed walked over to his bath and began to fill it. "I'll fix it all, Train... and together, we will rule over this corrupt world as Gods... just you and I, forever... as it should be..."

Train checked Sven's condition, changing his bandages as he worked. A satisfied smile creased his face. "It's gonna be all right, princess. He's gonna pull through." When Eve didn't respond, Train turned to look at her. She was staring at him again. Just when Train thought she wasn't going to say anything, she asked in a quiet voice, "Why do you care?"

Silence descended upon the room. Train's brows knit in thought, his gaze focused somewhere on the wall behind Eve. He let out a sigh and dropped his eyes to the floor, before refocusing on the little girl. "I feel... that you two may have been telling the truth... That I might, indeed, know both of you. However... I have no memories of either of you... Why? By keeping you both here, under my protection... I'm hoping to unlock the truth. And if I come to the conclusion that you're lying... I will kill you."

"And if we aren't? What then?"

"... I don't know yet. I haven't thought about that possibility." Train answered truthfully, "If Creed... has done something to mess with my memories... I don't know what I'm going to do. I don't remember if I ever felt any differently about him... And even if I learn that he was lying to me, changing things that I should know... Could I still do what I have to do, knowing that I love him...?"

Eve didn't answer, just continued to stare at the brunette. Train let out a small chuckle. "Look at me. Unloading my problems onto a child. What has the world come to?" He laughed again, then stretched his arms above his head. "Well, what say you and me get---" He was interrupted by someone knocking on his door again. Shiki entered the room, inclining his head to Train.

"Black Cat."

"Shiki."

"Creed wishes to speak with you in his quarters." Shiki turned and walked back out of the room just as quickly as he had come in. Train let out a sigh. "Well, there goes my idea of a nap. Sorry, princess, but duty calls." He began to walk out the door.

"Don't go." Eve said quietly, bringing Train to a stop. He turned to look at her, his golden eyes wispy. "If you go, you're going to forget again. He doesn't want you to remember us... or Saya."

"You know who Saya is?" He asked quietly, just in case Shiki was still at the door listening. Eve nodded. Train glanced to the side, thinking. "... When I come back, immediately tell me this. 'A cat has no master because he is free.' That way I know you're not an intruder... just in case you're correct and he messes with my memories."

Eve still looked worried, but nodded nonetheless. Train nodded back, then started for the door again. He stopped in front of the door. "... Don't try to leave the room. There are some nasty surprises waiting outside for those who don't know the place. However, if someone enters the room besides me, I give you permission to defend yourself and that man. Anything besides that, just behave yourself. I'll be back." He turned and winked at her, then left the room, closing the door quietly behind him.

Rose-colored eyes watched him go, then turned to gaze at Sven. She walked over to where he was lying and gently grabbed his hand. Tears slid down her face, but she never made a sound. Sven's heart monitor continued to beep as she stood there crying, the only noise in the room.

To be continued...
