My first Chrno Crusade fan fiction! Whoo! Don't expect it to be as good as some of my other works. I've only read each Manga (1 – 6) once, and number two a few times, so I don't have everyone's personality and such perfect. But I try! I pwomise!

Disclaimer: I do not own Chrno Crusade. But if I did, Chrono and Aion would be gay and Chrono would be cheating on Aion with Rosette. Good thing I don't own Chrno Crusade, huh?

A light touch stirred Rosette from her slumber, as well as the soft calling of her name. She made a little noise and rolled over, and as her vision cleared she saw two red eyes and a few strands of purple hair.

"Chrono!" She screamed, batting him upside the head and pulling the covers up to her chin. "What are you doing in here? You're not supposed to-!" Chrono put a hand over her mouth and smiled slightly.

"I'm sorry, Rosette. But Elder wanted you early this morning, and when you weren't awake yet, he asked me to…" He faded as Rosette's eyes widened and she shrieked again.

"Oh no, I completely forgot!" She jumped out of bed, running back and froth between her dresser and the bed. She suddenly froze and turned to stare evilly at the small devil, who shrunk away from the glare. "What are you doing still in here? Get out! Out!" Her fists found their way to his head as he quickly scurried out the door.

"I'm sorry, Rosette!" He called, before she heard his footsteps down the corridor. She growled and grumbled to herself as she got dressed. It was not the best start to a day, but Rosette did have something to look forward to. Whatever fancy new weapon the Elder had made.

She stomped down the stairs, and out into the main yard of the convent, making her way towards Elder's lab. If he tries anything perverted… She thought to herself as she entered slowly, peeking around first.

Chrono was standing beside the old man, and looked up as she entered.

"I see you took your sweet time getting down here." Elder said, putting on a show of being hurt. "I guess my ingenious inventions aren't good enough for you?" He moved something away on the desk in front of him and stood up. "Though I suppose I could forgive your rudeness if you give me a little feel of your breasts." He grinned.

"I'll show you rude!" She growled out, instantly moving forward to try and attack him. Chrono grabbed her and held her back.

"Not now, Rosette." He sad in his small sounding voice. "Elder said he's got something we may need." At that word, as if it were an introduction, Elder brandished what looked like a very small gun. Rosette looked at it skeptically.

"What's it do?" She asked, moving to take it from him. He snatched it back away from her.

"It's a new gun I invented that has precision aiming, and will even correct the path of its ammunition. I have yet to create the bullets for it, but-"

"It has no bullets? What's the point of a gun without bullets?" Rosette asked loudly. "I didn't come here to learn about a new weapon that can't even be fired!" Elder stuck his finger in Rosette's face, shaking his head.

"But," He started, "its specially designed casing allows it to absorb energy and turn it into solid matter for enough time to pierce the intended target. Once it has successfully reached the target, it lets the energy disperse in a great explosion! But, if it does not reach the target before it becomes energy again, or collides with something that is not living, it will simply turn back to the harmless energy it was previously, without causing any damage."

Rosette stared, slack jawed. How could the Elder have even managed to create such a thing? Her eyes sparkled as she moved forward to try and get the weapon from him.

"Aw, come on, lemme see, you know I love new toys!" She said, her eyes huge and pleading. But before she could do much else, a loud crash was heard from outside.

"Rosette, quick!" Chrono shouted, running outside.

"Aw, man…"
