Land of the Sun

Prologue

Angel's Tomb

The doors closed to her tomb behind him. He was in a tomb again. A tomb of someone he loved. His mind replayed the battle.

It all happed so fast...

-flash back start-

She's safe. Rosette was frozen in time. Joshua was with Azmaria and the other apostles. No idea where Remington was, and didn't care... He was fighting Aion.

Chrono was running out breath. Aion matched each of his attacks with one of his own. He has his horns back, Aion doesn't, it should be going in his favor. I can't lose... I CAN'T! Chrono was practicality screaming in his head. I will mack you atone for what you don! To the children of Seventh Bell, Joshua, myself, Rosette, and Ma... He never finished his thought. A soft light, and white fathered wings drifted in to view. Wha...? Azmaria? ... Nooooo... A woman that looked in her 20s floated in between himself and Aion, off the side. She hade long jet black hair and emerald green eyes. The winged lady wore what looked like a Japanese dress, or was it Chinese? Chrono wasn't sure which, all he knew was that there was a woman floating (or was she sitting), in front of him.

Aion was faster to catch on than Chrono, (as always), "So heaven sent an angel to this battle..."

An Angle!

"I'm dead." Was the first thing out of the angle woman's mouth. So calmly and blasé like it was the natural thing to say.

"Wha...?" The two devils said in unison.

"Dead. Ya know? Dead, adjective means no longer alive. Yo jump start your memory bub, you saw one in a dive." She said the last sentence towards Chrono, and looked like she was about to fall a sleep. He thought back to when Rosette dove into his sole. She dose look all wispy like Rosette did back then...

The angle waved her hand, as she did so her sleeve rippled like water in a pond, and a bit translucent. "Ur-eeka! The pedophile can think."

Chrono felt like he was hit by a truck. "I'm not a PEDOPHILE!"

"So ya saying that you're a erotophobic?"

"What!"

Aion began to chuckle, obviously he knew what a erotophobic was. The midnight haired woman snapped her head around to Aion, the watery garment swayed with her. "Shut it, you hadaophobic."

He blinked at her for a minutes. "Huh?"

"Ho so sorry. Are you a papaphobic?"

"What are you doing here for?" Chrono said abit irritated by this woman.

"I'm a mail-man, errrr woman..." The two demons just stare at her. The angle shock her head. "Looks like I have to explain me-self here. As a dead angle all I can do is deliver objects or massage to the living. I cannot interfere myself. Only the living angles can do that."

"The apostles..." Chrono whispered, looking down at them. Seeing everyone has notice her.

"Well... I guss their kinda, short-da like demi-angles... if they are all together... but a real angel can do maiger things without a pointless light show..."

"If you can't do anything, then leave. We living are in a middle of a fight." Aion retorted coldly.

"Ho, I may not be capable... but the one I just deliver a hagoromo to can."

Chrono didn't completely understand what a hagoromo was, (but hade a sinking felling that it hade something to do with the odd water like clothes she was wearing). As he was trying to find out what significance this hagoromo has. Out of the corner of his eye, a flash of gold and a soft glow.

ROSETTE! There she was right behind Aion. Wearing her virgin Mary dress and large white wings. Wings! since when Rosette hade wings? Or a Mary dress? Before Chrono could say or do anything, the angle spoke.

"Rosette Christopher, do you task fast and quick. Shall you aim be strong and true. Deliver the crushing blow of death onto sinner pride."

"Wha?" Aion turned around, and stared down the barrel of Rosette's gun.

All that happened next seemed to be in slow motion. But in reality it was only 1.6 seconds.

She pulled the trigger, an explosion was heard. Spirals of angelic feathers whirled around. The bullet tour Aion's head apart, his body turned to ash and crumble to the ground below. Chrono can see the bullet that claimed the once proud sinner's life, is now coming for his own. Chrono jammed his eyes shut.

Then worm soft arms raped around his torso and gingerly tugged him out of the bullet's path. He opened his eyes, and peered into sapphire pools. Slickly strands of gold framed her face. Her headdress waved softly with a sweet angelic glow. It light up all around her. Making her eyes shine like precious gems that they were.

He was left in a daze, imprisoned in her other worldly beauty. Chrono swallowed the lump in his throat. "Rosette...?" His voice was barley above a whisper. "Rosette... I... your...a..." It was hard to talk. What to say...? He tried to find words to say, but fail. The blue eyed angel pulled herself up to the demon placing a soft feather light kiss up on his bottom lip. Wha! He blinked. He didn't know what to do, kiss her back, jump for joy, or simply pas out! (Passing out seemed a pretty good idea, right abut now...)

"Chrono..." Rosette's voice filter into his ears. He blinked, again. "Chrono..." She spoke again. "Chrono, I might be one." She leaned closer to him. Her lips brushing against his open stunned mouth. "But..." A light pink hue dusted his cheeks. "Chrono you'll always be my Angel..."

His hole body stiffen. Angel? Me? But I'm a demon... a devil... How can I be...? She's the... AGHHHH! Chrono screamed in his head. She thinks I'm a ANGEL? HER ANGEL? His vision began to spin.

The arms that held him gone limp. Watery blue eyes flutter shut. Head drifted back, fowled by golden hair. The soft angelic light fade away. Large white wings melted like hot wax.

"What?" Chrono rapped his arms around Rosette. "What happened? Rosette?" No anser. "Rosette?" Soft arms fell to her side. "Rosette!" No more light. No wings came out of her back. "ROSETTE!" He called once more. Cool skin was all he felt. The ticks of the clock no longer heard.

Rosette Christopher, is dead.

"No... no... no.. NO! Rosette! Wake up!" He shook her gently. "Come on... please... Rosette..." Chrono eyes filled up with tears. Falling to his knees, he cradle her in his arms. "Rosette... don't leave me... please?" Hiding his face in nape of her neck, begging like a small child.

A soft tap to his right, alerted him that someone was there. Turning his head, he saw sympatric cool eyes. He didn't want any pity, especially from a stranger that popped out of no where. Growling deep in his throat making it clear that he did not want or need her there.

"Her attack and saving you was too strong for her soul to tack. The hagoromo drained the little time she hade left..." She said more to herself than to Chrono.

"What! You killed her? I thought angels where more friendly than that!" He yelled throw gritted teeth.

The angel studied the anger plastered on his face, and blew out he cheeks. "And that's why anger is a sin. It makes you blind and stupid. As I said before, I'm just a messenger. So don't kill me!" Bowing her head she added, "Killing me is kinda pointless, I'm all ready dead..." Flopping her head back up again. She jabbed her finger on her nose, like pushing up imaginary glasses. "Look bub. I only d-e-l-I-v-e-r! As I recall, I did warn her of the risks. But she," she pointed at the nun in his arms, "just said was 'I don't care about that. I just want to save him.' Who, I can bet is a good change is Y-O-U." She moved her extend finger up to his tear stained face.

"But... I didn't want that! I just wanted her to be safe!" Chrono hugged the cold limp Rosette closer to him. He screwed his eyes shut. I sworn, that I'll be different this time... Why? Why God? Why? Why must you do this to me, a second time... Then it hit him. That's it! "Time."

"Abut 10:15."

"No. Time! You can give Rosette's time back!"

"I knew what you meant. Besides, I can't conjure up time. I'll need a source."

"Then tack mine if you need a source!"

"I can't! I also need to be in direct contact with her soul. And she's all ready in the astral line."

"Then go get her!"

"It's too late for that! Rosette all read deep within the river! In other words, she is in the process of passing on. If I go there now, I'll pass on too!"

"Than I'll go!"

"You'll die before you can reach her!"

"Better dead than living with out her..." Chrono mumble under his breath.

"Don't say that."

"But it's true..." He patted her golden head.

"It may seem like that. But if you forgot all ready she died saving you bub." He looked up at her and started to say something. "Salary." She cut him off. "Her salary will be thorn off scale." He blinked confused. Sighing, she answered his unsaid question. "She died so you can live. So dyeing now will mack her salary go a wire. Instead of being resurrected in near human form, she'll be trapped in limbo paying of her dept." Her eyes became stern and serious. "So your chose. Living in misery and save her sole. Or dye and Rosette will be running errands of the next 500 years or so. Just like me."

He bowed his head, purple bangs hiding his eyes from view. A heavy tension hung over his head. In a low voice that lost all hope in the world brock it. "I'll live... for her..."

"Thought so..." Her voice was study and widen heavy with sorrow. "I have one last thing to do, before I'm free of my own limbo." She lean over to the devil's ear. "It's got to do with you bub." Chrono's ear twitched to show that he was listening. "I have to relay a message to you." He shifted a bit uncomfortable.

Falling back on to her heals. "At least look at me when I say it." He lifted his head up. Just enough that his yellow eye peeked throw his violet hair. "Better than nothing, I guess." The angel smiled the best that she could, "See ya in the Land of the Sun!" She tried to sound cheerful for him.

Odd girl. Chrono smiled weakly at her. "HMF."

Still trying to lighted the mood a bit. She beaten her chest once, flashing her wide toothy grin "Well! Here's hoping it's Miami!" She faded from view. Well faded isn't it, more lick blown away. Like dust blowing in the wind.

"Thank you... see you there... I guess..." His smile gone, he added "I much rather see Rosette..."

-end of flashback-

Chrono stared at the doors behind him in the fading light. Those doors won't open again... With a nod to himself, he did the only thing he can think of doing. Chrono inwardly smiled to himself when the shock gasps seeped in through the frozen door.

He tacking the blanked that Azmaria gave him. Finding a comfortable spot next to her coffin, allowed his eyes drift shut. The whispers of the shocked Militia members where heard from the other side. "What the-?", "Why?", and "A time freeze?" was all the members where able to get out. He wrap the blank around him, resting his head against the granite, slowly allowing the deep darkness of sleep tack him.

"Why?" Azmaria said, her knees shaking. "Why Father Remington?"

"Well..." Sade the said Father, " I suppose that he plans on staying with Rosette. Just like he did with Magdalene... But this time he dose not to wake up..."

"What!" Joshua burst out. He ran forward and beaten his fist against the stone doors. "Chrono! Rosette wouldn't wont this! She wont's is for you to live your life to the fullest! Chrono! Chrono! Are you listening?"

The apostle attempts where futile. Chrono was already in sweet dreams of Rosette, and did not wont to leave her ever.

Final Thought: Okay I'm done! YAAA! If I have the word speeded right, but in the wrong place... please tell me! I'm really bad at gramma!. By the way, I'm all ready getting ideas for the next chapter! You wont a preview! RIGHT! OKAY! Here ya go!

PREVIEW!

He turned back and his expression soften upon see her. "It's all right Rosette..." Even his voice was sweeten. "They're gon now..." Chrono walked over to her. Placing a hand a the casket, and stroked it a bit. Like he was patting her head. "Shhhhhhhh... go back to sleep. I'm right here. No-one can hurt you now... I wont let them..." Kneeling down next to her resting bed, he rested his head on her lap.

MisoGirl: Yaaa! Can't wait! Can yoooooooou! HAHA!

Chrono: I'm in a tomb again! Rosette's tomb!

Rosette: I become an angle and that's what kills me? That doesn't mack sense!

MG: Well it did mack senses in my head... but my cat kept laying on the key board and I couldn't typ it down.

R: That's no excuses!

C: At least you got to kill Aion right?

R: Ya your right Chrono...

MG: HAAAaaaa... violence... you got ta love it...
