Days Without Each Other

Disclaimer: I do not own Chrono Crusade, but if I did...well, lets just leave it at that XD

"I don't wanna go!" cried Rosette as she desperately clung for her life to a rusty silver handrail. "You have to go! The Elder wants you to help him!" said Chrono, pulling Rosette's legs as he tried to yank her away from the rail. We've been at this for over a half hour! Why won't she just go see the nutcase? thought Chrono, tugging with most of his might. If he tugged with all of his might he would rip Rosette's legs off her body.

As if Rosette could hear Chrono's wandering thoughts, she exclaimed, "The Elder is a dirty old fart and I'm sick of him acting like a pervert around me!"

"But he wants you to help him test a new weapon Rosette!"

"Oh. Well in that case, lets go!"

Chrono sighed as he watched Rosette walk clumsily across the luscious green lawn. She turned around, put her hands on her hips and glared at him, "Chrono! Since you're making me go, you have to come with me too! I'm not waiting in the same room with that pervert, even if it is to test out a new weapon!" Walking backwards to scream at Chrono, Rosette tripped and fell over a mushroom.

"Stupid thing!" she said as she picked up the fairly large mushroom and hucked it over a nearby fence. It made a rather large splash when it hit a fountain and water gushed out everywhere. Chrono saw Sister Kate, sopping wet, stand up from a bench nearby and walk toward Rosette.

Seeing Chrono looking wide eyed through the fence made Rosette notice Sister Kate. "Uhhh, sorry Sister Kate, can't talk now, I gotta go see the perv- I mean the Elder!" Backing away from Sister Kate, (being careful not to trip over anything this time) Rosette turned and bolted across the grass, toward the Elder's workshop.

Knowing she couldn't catch Rosette fast enough, Sister Kate headed inside her office.

Meanwhile, Chrono keeled over, while he laughed his heart out. He sat on an old, creaky brown bench to rest. Just as he regained his breath, Chrono noticed a sudden movement up in the large oak tree next to the bench.

Wanting to take a closer look, Chrono stood up and a slow wind started up. The wind made Chrono's deep red cape and long purple hair billow out behind him. Chrono heard a sound behind him.

The sound wasn't an ordinary sound yet it disturbed Chrono slightly. Keeping his crimson eyes on the tree, Chrono slowly turned around. And as he turned around, a great big figure came into view. The figure had white hair that flowed down the person's back. The figure had a proud eagle perched on its arm. The figure was Aion.

"I have you now Chrono! There's no way to escape!" Aion said in a deep booming voice that echoed around the surrounding walls. As he said this, Aion's arm lashed out and grabbed Chrono's face, forcing him into the cold hard earth. Chrono wiggled under Aion's grasp, but there was no hope for him…Chrono was trapped.

Where is the Order? Sister Kate? Rosette? Anybody? Chrono thought as he tried to break Aion's hold on him.

"What are you going to do now Chrono? You used to be a superb fighter before you came to this dingy place. Come with me and I will show you how to fight once again." said Aion in a forceful voice.

"Never! I will never go with you Aion!" said Chrono in a muffled voice.

I guess I have no choice but to try and break the seal, thought Chrono. He didn't want to break the seal, but it seemed that now was a good time to do it.

Chrono tried to break the seal, but it was no use.

"Trying to open that ridiculous pocket watch? Don't waste your time Chrono; I have you placed under a barrier and that means that nobody can do anything to help you unless I wish it!"

"Think again fat head!" Chrono managed to turn his head slightly to see Rosette standing right in front of Aion, gun drawn, fingering the trigger button.

As Aion turned around, he came face to face with the end of Rosette's silver gun.

"Rosette!" cried Chrono.

"Fool! You dare and try to defeat the greatest demon in the world?" asked Aion, his hands glowing a deep shade of blue, cutting into Chrono's face. Dark red blood flowed from Chrono's wounds as he cried out in agony.

"Chrono!" Rosette could hardly get the words out, for she was furious at Aion. First, he gave Joshua Chrono's horns, then he took Joshua away, and now he was hurting Chrono?

"Do you see how powerful I am? I can slice through this wimpy demon in one simple stroke of my hand. You can't even find the person that matters to you most..Joshua."

As Aion said those words, Rosette thought of the times she had had with Chrono and Joshua before that night. The more she thought about that night she had first met Aion, the more she wanted to spray his brains all over the cement.

Chrono watched Rosette's face as it went from sympathetic to befuddled to angry.

"That really pisses me off Aion!" Rosette shouted, the gun in her hand shaking violently as if the trigger was about to pulled by "accident."

By then, people had formed a crowd around Rosette, Chrono, and Aion.

"Rosette!" shouted Father Remington "don't do anything! Help is on the way!"

"I don't need help! I'm going to shoot this (cursing there) right in

the (more cursing) head!"

Aion laughed, his hands shaking, forcing Chrono deeper into the hard ground. "You joke too much Sister Rosette. Now, my fair lady, we must be going! I'll be sure to tell Joshua you said hi alright?" Aion laughed the most evil and terrible laugh in the whole universe- the laugh of triumph. "Say farewell to your darling Chrono, for the next time you see him, he's going to be a whole different demon!" exclaimed Aion as he and Chrono started to slowly disappear.

"Rosette!" Chrono called as he started to fade from view.

"Chrono!" cried Rosette "I won't let him take you!"

BANG BANG BANG! Rosette fired what seemed like ten thousand bullets into what she thought was Aion, but he and Chrono were already gone…
