Chapter One

The night sky grew brighter as the full moon appeared behind the gray clouds. The wind passed by carrying silent sounds that at times seemed to be human breaths exhaling and inhaling slowly. Nothing could be seen in the empty streets except for two bodies running at a distance. The first person wore a blue dress that went down to the heels, her dirty blonde hair was up in a pony tail and she carried a gun. The second person was following her closely, he was somewhat shorter than her, with long purple hair in a long braid and red clothing.

"Rosette…"called the boy "…we could head over there" he said, pointing to a near by ware house.

The girl nodded and made a right turn, entering the abandoned ware house with the boy following her close behind. Both were breathing heavily and they took advantage of the fact that the ware house looked somewhat safe. Everything inside was silent, not one sound could be heard, not even the wind. However, that silence was broken by Rosette's cry. "Aww Mou! I told you this was going to happen. Why does it always happen like this?" she cried. The purple haired boy looked up at her with a warm smile. "Rosette, don't worry about it anymore, it's over." Rosette couldn't help but stare at the boy and sigh.

It had been one hell of a day. Fighting demons was fun and all, but this time it had gone overboard. It had been a while since this many demons attacked them at once. Rosette was deep in thought and she couldn't help but ask something she knew the other wouldn't like. "Chrono…" she said, breaking the silence of the room once more. "Hai?" replied Chrono, looking up at her. Without hesitation, Rosette turned to him, a serious face covering her normally bright features. "Do you think Aion had something to do with this?"

Chrono's eyes immediately grew wide at the comment; his eyebrows came together as anger began to take over him. Rosette knew that mentioning Aion was not something Chrono appreciated, but Chrono also knew that Rosette didn't like the guy either. She noticed Chrono's sudden change of attitude and decided to change the subject. They had already dealt with enough problems for the day; they could figure the reason out later.

Aion had once been an acquaintance with Chrono, or rather, Chrono was one to Aion. Chrono was a demon who had met Rosette after he lost someone very dear to him. He met her along with her younger brother Joshua. However, when Chrono met Rosette, he promised not to hurt anyone, unless he really had to. IN Order for Chrono to use his powers, he needed a container since his horns were no longer on him. Rosette asked to be his container and therefore, his powers where sealed within a special time container. This connects the two souls together in a way. If Chrono unseals his powers, Rosette's life span becomes shorter. Lately, Chrono had been thinking a lot about the day he met them. And the memory of what happened kept getting him angry.

He wasn't able to save him…

Rosette's eyes started watering the more she thought about Aion. Chrono realized this and came back from his thoughts. "He might have something to do with it…" he replied, anger still visible in his face. "However, I don't t--" Whatever Chrono was going to say was interrupted when Rosette placed her hand over his mouth, whispering as she looked around. "Shh….someone's coming" At that moment, a blast made the part of the main side of the ware house shake.

"Chrono…ikuso"

"Mm"

Rosette quietly reloaded the gun and Chrono moved towards the main doors of the ware house. The wind could be felt inside now that half the ware house was gone and Rosette shivered, moving alongside the wall. The door creaked open and Chrono moved cautiously away from it. Large red eyes appeared before him. "Aion…?" Chrono said, backing away from saidthe demon. Those red eyes reminded him a bit too much of him. He jumped aside after the demon attempted to hit him. Surely this was no surprise, yet another demon sent by Aion. Chrono noticed something different about this demon and he wanted to know the reason why he was there.

The demon growled and got closer to Chrono, keeping a close eye on him. Chrono noticed this but he was making no attempt what so ever to escape. Rosette aimed the gun at the demon and pulled the trigger which made the demon look at her. There was silence, followed by a desperate cry. "Uso!" cried Rosette looking at the gun in surprise. Why wasn't it working? Chrono blinked, looking at Rosette and back at the demon. And with a blink of an eye, it was gone. Like smoke, it disappeared in thin air. Chrono's eyes grew wide as the demon stood right behind a very unaware Rosette.

"Rosette!" Chrono yelled as he started running towards her.

Rosette looked up from the gun at Chrono and then behind at the demon and everything went blank.
