Chapter one: The Nightmare Begins
------------------------
"Hush, you'll wake her."
"Are you kidding? This girl sleeps like a log!" Rosette wondered who was talking, and if she was dreaming or not.
"Are you sure about this?"
"Yeah, this way when Pandemonium dies, we can take the Netherworld for our own!" She mentally questioned this, but didn't move. She listened to hear more of their plans.
------------------------
When she awoke, she was in the middle of no where. She jumped to my feet and looked around.
"What the hell!?" She cried. Rosette looked around some more to see demons, lots of them, coming from behind trees and bushes and such.
"Oh shit..." Rosette muttered and smacked her forehead, "stupid, stupid, stupid!" She reached for her gun to fight all the demons who dared challenge her – Princess of the Netherworld!
------------------------
A few hours later, she had defeated the demons, but was very weak. She collapsed to her knees, bleeding a lot. It was the end, she was sure of it.
-------------Meanwhile, in Heaven-----------
"You want me to do WHAT!?" Angel Trainee Chrno cried.
"I want you to go to the Netherworld and choose a suitable Overlord." Aion said calmly, "it appears their Princess has just died. Now, go!" Aion opened a portal behind the angel trainee and pushed him in.
-------------Back in the Netherworld-----------
Rosette opened her brilliant red eyes slowly, her vision blurred by her own blood. She saw a boy, not much older than she was, standing before her. He had long, purple hair and wore an outfit that was...somewhat angelic. He appeared worried. Rosette's lips curved into a small, near undetectable smile and closed her eyes again.
"Oh, oh, heal!" A male voice said. Rosette could feel the pain leaving her. She opened her eyes again, to see that her vision was no longer blurred by the crimson liquid that had surrounded her momentarily. She glanced warily at the boy in front of her.
"Are you alright?" He asked kindly. Rosette studied him to see he truly was an angel.
"Why...are you helping me...? I'm a demon...you're an angel...you shouldn't be helping me..." Rosette said weakly. It was true, the boy had healed her wounds, but she was still weak.
"Well, it's because I should help people!" The boy said cheerfully. Rosette smiled skeptically and tried to rise to her feet, only to fall back down.
"Here." The boy said, helping her to get up and walk.
"You really shouldn't be helping me..." Rosette said to him.
"Ssh, don't talk, you're still very weak." The boy said, leading her over to a cave. He set Rosette down against a wall and sat next to her.
"So...what's an angel such as you doing here?" Rosette asked him.
"I'm here to find the next Overlord!" He said. Rosette grinned slightly and held out her hand.
"Hi, I'm Princess of the Netherworld. Nice to meet you." She said. (A/N: nn I love it when characters are brutally truthful!) The boy looked at her with a surprised look in his eyes.
"You're a long way from the castle..." He said.
"I know. I just woke up out here." Rosette said, leaning herself against the wall, "I have no idea how I got here, or when." The boy looked at her.
"Well, I could help you get back to the castle..." He said slowly.
"You'd do that...?" Rosette asked, looking at him. He nodded.
"Well, we'd best get introduced, hm?" She said, holding out a bloodstained hand, "I'm Rosette." The boy slowly took her hand.
"I'm angel trainee Chrno." He said, "We'd better get some rest, we have a long journey ahead of us!"
------------------------
When Rosette awoke, she was leaning on Chrno and Chrno was leaning on her. Her face went a pale shade of red, so light it was unnoticeable, and she started poking Chrno's shoulder.
"Chrno...Chrno...wake up..."
"Nnrgh..."
"Come on, wake up..."
"Nnnrrhhh..."
"I'm serious, Chrno!"
"Nnn...huh, wha?" Chrno said sleepily, finally waking up, but not moving from his leaning point.
"Good morning, sunshine, now could you get off me?" Rosette asked kindly.
"Ah! I-I-I-I-I-I'm sorry!" He said, sort of jumping off her. Rosette smiled and put a hand against the cave wall for support so she could stand up, which she succeeded at doing. Chrno remained where he was.
"So, are you coming or not, Angel-boy?" Rosette said looking at him.
"Um, yes!" He said jumping up. Rosette shook her head, staring at the ceiling of the cave.
"We-e-e-ell, come on then!" She said impatiently.

To be continued!!!
Lol, another fanfic based of one of godess-isis224 and my role-plays. This one kind of had a point though and a LOT less fluff in this one than in the other one...well I hope this one is popular!
BTW, I finished the Kingdom Crusade, I just need my friend to finish chapter 7...this will be written in the meantime!
