Disclaimer: I don't own Chrno Crusade.
Sorry everyone, but this chapter will be shorter than most. I kind of ran out of Ideas near the end of it. Please enjoy and review afterwards.
Chapter 3- Gone
Rosette woke up early in the morning and saw Chrno lying on the bed next to her. His face was wet with tears. She smiled and got out of the bed, and then she put the bed sheets over his sleeping body. She gazed at him carefully and noticed that he still hadn't put on his horns yet. They were on the nightstand, beside the shinning golden watch. She picked up the watch and put it around her neck. It was too precious to her to get rid of it. Rosette grabbed the horns from the nightstand and smirked.
"Chrno!" Rosette shouted as she shook the devil awake. Chrno opened his eyes and saw Rosette smiling at him. She had his horns in her hands.
"Get up sleepy head." She complained. Chrno did as he was told and sat upright on the bed.
"What?" he asked, while rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
"Turn into your demon from. We need to put your horns back into place." She stated. Chrno nodded, but didn't say anything precise. He transformed and let Rosette place the horns back into place, where the immediately mended to his head. Rosette smirked and sat down beside him. She sighed and leaned her head on his shoulder.
"I'm happy you got your horns back, but… does that mean that you're going to leave me now?" she asked. Her question surprised him, but he answered it anyways.
"I'm not leaving you. Don't worry. I care about you too much for that to happen." He stated. A light blush began to appear on his face. Rosette just stared at him like he was crazy.
'Does that mean he…' she thought quickly. Chrno gazed at Rosette with his blood red eyes. He suddenly remembered something Remington had told him.
Flashback-
"Take care of her Chrno. One day you'll finally be able to tell her how you feel, but don't wait too long because her time might run out on you." Remington had whispered into his ear.
End of Flashback-
Chrno gulped. He looked at Rosette and saw her staring at him.
"Um…I…um." He stammered. Rosette tried not to laugh as she saw his face go red. She didn't know what he was trying to say, but he looked so cute when he was flustered. She gazed at him and blushed. Rosette made a sudden decision in her head and blushed even harder.
"Chrno." She said softly. Chrno stiffened and gently turned around to look at Rosette. As soon as he turned around, he felt a pair of lips on his. Chrno gasped when he realised that she was kissing him. Rosette wrapped her arms around his neck and brought him closer to himself. Chrno smiled against her lips and shyly started to kiss her back. Chrno put his arms around her waist. After a minute passed, they parted from each other. Both their faces were flushed. Chrno grinned at the blond haired girl and leaned in for another kiss. Their lips meet in pure bliss. Rosette tightened her hold around his neck. Chrno did the same thing. A moment later, the door opened and Aion stepped into the room. Chrno and Rosette didn't notice and continued what they were doing. Rosette lifted her hands towards his fluffy demon ears and started to stroke them. This caused Chrno to moan, and Rosette to blush even harder. Suddenly they both heard someone cough. Rosette and Chrno separated from each other and looked at the door, where Aion was now standing. He was staring at them with an interested look.
"No, don't let me stop you. It was getting interesting." He stated as a smirk appeared on his face. His comment made Chrno and Rosette blush.
"Pervert!" Rosette exclaimed as she grabbed the nearest object and threw it at the smirking devil. Aion dodged all the random objects that were being thrown at his head and continued to laugh at the flustered nun. Chrno just continued to blush and tried to avoid Aion's piercing gaze. Rosette stopped her assault and sat beside Chrno. Her breathing was harsh because of the sudden burst of energy. She closed her eyes and once again leaned her head on Chrno's shoulder.
"I see you've put back your horns into place." Aion stated as he observed his brother. Chrno was still in his demon form and he now had two ivory horns on the top of his head. Chrno nodded shyly and transformed into his human disguise. He chose his older human disguise, so that he wouldn't look like a 12 years old child anymore. He looked about 20 years old now. He looked as old as Rosette.
"Breakfast is ready." Aion told the two people in the room. Then he smirked and added something. "But, I could tell everyone that you have better things to do." Aion grinned lecherously. Rosette blushed and started to throw thins again. She only stopped when he was out of the room, but she was still extremely angry. Chrno looked at the blond haired girl that had stolen his heart and smirked.
"About before…that wasn't a dream right." He asked. Rosette shook her head and ran out of the room. She was too embarrassed to talk to him. She ran to the edge of Eden and sat in the fields of flowers. She gazed at the sky and noticed how beautiful it was.
"I could do this forever." She said calmly as she lay down on the grass. She closed her eyes for a brief moment and sighed in content. When she opened her eyes again, she noticed something strange in the sky. Something with huge black wings was flying towards her. They were closing in on her really fast. As they got closer, Rosette noticed that they were humans with dark angel wings.
"Is that an angel?" Rosette asked herself. The black angels landed beside her. They had chains in their hands and their eyes were black. There were two of them. One had black hair and the other one had brown hair. They had no expression on their faces.
"Who are you?" Rosette questioned. The two angels didn't answer. The one with black hair grinned and gather her energy into a sphere. Then she threw it at Rosette. Rosette dodged the attack, but fell on the ground in the process. She tried to scramble to her feet, but a wave of tiredness washed over her and she fell on the ground unconscious.
"Great… This is the worst time to fall asleep." She mumbled as she drifted into an uneasy slumber. The two angels tried to pick her up, but their hands passed right through her. They where already dead, so they couldn't touch those that where still alive, but that concept didn't work on objects. So, the angels chained Rosette up and picked her up by the chains. They flew away leaving a trail of black feathers behind.
Chrno was in the dinning room with everyone else. He suddenly got a strange uneasy felling. Rosette usually never missed a mean. Something was wrong. He immediately stood up from the table. This caused everyone to stared at him strangely. Chrno's heart began to race as the uneasy feeling he had increased. He dashed away from the table and ran outside. Everyone quickly followed him to see what was wrong. Chrno hurried outside and headed towards the edge of Eden. When he got there, all he saw was a pile of black feathers. Rosette's scent was there, but it had gotten old. Rosette was gone, and he hadn't been able to protect her. What was worst was that her time was running out.
"Rosette." He whispered, as he fell to his knees in shock. He growled in anger and hit the ground as hard as he could.
"Rosette. Where did you go?" Joshua said as he looked sadly at the sky. He walked up to the pile of feathers and picked one of them up. Aion walked over to Joshua and looked at the foreign black object.
"An angel feather." He said. He sighed and turned towards Chrno. " We have to get her back. We're going to have to open the gateway to heaven, but we're going to need the last apostle. We need to get Azumaria Hendrick.
Well's that's another chapter done. Please Review.
