Genkai just passed out the tea to everyone and sat between Kurama and Rosette. Hiei was sitting beside Kurama and Chrno was beside Rosette. There were two empty spots between Hiei and Chrno.
"So how do you know Chrno?" Rosette asked once again then started drinking her tea.
"Do you know anyone by the name Toguro?" Kurama questioned taking a sip of his tea.
Both Chrno and Rosette shook their heads. "Who is he?" Chrno asked not touching his tea.
"He is the one who spoke of Chrno." Kurama stated. "From what we heard from him, he wants Chrno to turn back time, or something along those lines." Chrno and Rosette just look at each other in confusion.
"How does he know about me?" Chrno asked.
"Who knows?" Kurama said.
Rosette looked over at Hiei and noticed he was just sipping his tea. "Your friend doesn't talk much." She pointed out. Hiei just glared at her.
Suddenly the door opened and a young man with brown hair and eyes walked in with a girl with blue hair and purple eyes. "I was wondering when you would show up Koenma." Genkai said. "Would you like some tea?"
"Yes, please Genkai," The man responded.
"Botan, how about you?" Genkai asked the girl.
"No thank you," She said in a cheerful voice.
Genkai left and the two sat in between Hiei and Chrno. "You must be the Chrno guy Toguro spoke of." The man said to Chrno. "My name is Koenma, I am the ruler of the Spirit World, and this is Botan my messenger." Koenma noticed Rosette giving him a weird look. "Who are you?" he asked.
"My name is—"
"This is my friend, Rosette." Chrno cut her off afraid she might make a scene. Koenma nodded and Genkai came back with his tea.
"So Chrno," Koenma said after taking a sip of his tea. "You're a demon, correct?" Chrno nodded. "And I'm sure you already know Kurama and Hiei are demons as well. But unlike you they don't need horns or a contract with a human to use their demon powers." Both Chrno and Rosette were shocked by the news.
"How are they able to use their demon powers then???" Rosette wanted to know.
"Demon energy coming from the portals to demon world connected to this world." Hiei said. "Some also get there energy from eating souls or killing other demons." Rosette was shocked that he spoke.
"Majority of the energy demon use is from Spirit World though." Botan step in. "This world's connection with the Spirit World is very strong and the Spirit World has many connection with the demon world as well. The energy from demon world travels through Spirit World and into this world."
"So," Chrno said. "Your saying that demons have found new ways to use there powers with out horns or a contract?" Botan nodded. Rosette held the huge locket around her neck tightly in her hands.
Botan looked at Rosette, she looked upset about something. "Is something wrong Rosette?"
Rosette snapped out of it and nodded. "I don't understand something," she said in a quiet voice. Chrno hardly ever heard her speak in such a calm and quiet voice. "How did we get here, we are like a hundred years away from home? What has happened since 1912?"
"No one knows." Koenma said. "Everyone is trying their hardest to find out how you two went through time with aging a year."
Kurama's face went to a shocked look. "Koenma," he said. "What if them time traveling was Chrno's doing? Maybe that would explain why Toguro would want him." Koenma was deep in thought and everyone was looking at him.
"Maybe," Koenma said looking at Chrno. "If it is alright with you Chrno, we would like to tests to see if you have that ability." Chrno nodded.
"No," Rosette yelled. "I won't let you."
"Rosette," Chrno whispered. He grabbed her wrist and led her outside. "Rosette, either of us knows how we got here, but maybe they have a point. You better than anyone else what my powers can do." Rosette was frozen with a shocked looked on her face as memories of the past flashed.
"Fine," Rosette gave in. "But what about me? Where am I to go?"
"You are welcome to stay here." Genkai said stepping out of the room. "Unless you wish to go to school or something like that instead."
Everyone else stepped outside as well. "So are you agreeing to come with us Chrno?" Koenma asked.
Chrno nodded. "Only on one condition," Rosette said. "Only is Chrno can visit me every time he has nothing to do." Koenma nodded.
"Well then," Koenma said opening a portal. "Shall we, Chrno?"
Chrno nodded again and followed Koenma and Botan into the portal. He turned around as the portal closed and mouth 'see you later, Rosette'. Rosette just smiled and nodded.
The portal was gone and Rosette quickly wiped the tears from her eyes. "So," She started turning toward Genkai, Kurama, and Hiei. "Do any of you know the closes Cathedral is?"
All three looked and her and at each other with a mixed look of confusion and shock.
