A/N: All right! Starting Chapter Three editing! I am horribly sorry to say, but I wish that all those who reviewed last time before I got booted off Fanfiction, could possibly review again? I'd appreciate it.

Disclaimer:I'd be so happy if I owned Chrono Crusade, but I don't…Moriyama does …


I woke up to find myself wrapped up in the warm arms of Chrono; or as I preferred, my demon. But I gasped when I opened my eyes wide enough. The room was all-dark. My candle must have run out of wax! I whimpered softly and hugged Chrono tightly; closing my eyes.

Chrono must have felt me tightening up against him, because I felt him move underneath me. "What's wrong, Girl?" He said, a hint of a yawn in his voice.

I started shaking; I realized then that I was also very cold. "Chrono! My candle went out!" I cried, moving closer towards his warm body. I felt Chrono's body twitch, probably not used to such close contact to a human. "A-and I don't know what time it is!" I added, my teeth slightly chattering.

Chrono sighed. "You complain too much." He stood up, lowering an arm to my waist so that he held me up with him. "I'll take you back." He said slowly in an almost dull voice.

I shivered again. "But how—" I almost cried out when I felt a wave of air hit my face and in mere seconds, I was at the entrance of the chamber. Chrono had stopped right before the barrier, making sure that he wasn't touching it when he let me go. "Wow…thanks, Chrono!" I said, cheerfully; kissing him lightly on the cheek before I crossed the barrier and clambered out.

Chrono felt warmth cover his cheeks, as he laid down flat on his stomach; his head propped up by his arms. 'Did she just…?' Chrono put on a look of concentration before going back to the main chamber.

I was practically skipping! I felt so light headed when I kissed my demon! It felt as if all my worries were taken off my shoulders and I was free! I would have been skipping longer, but I stopped when I came upon Remington's cold eyes. "R-Remington…" I whispered to the tensed body of the man before me.

Remington's eyes were narrowed down to slits; which scared me. From what I knew, humans couldn't do that. Remington said nothing; he only moved forward in a swift movement and grasped my arm, yanking me off towards the main building. Tears began to pour from my eyes, as I begged for him, no; pleaded for him to stop and let me go.

Remington only picked up his pace.

We went through a wide variety of twists and turns; I soon realized that he wasn't taking me back to my room. Right. As if he would. I would have escaped my room somehow and ran away, that's probably what he was thinking when he opened up a door and pushed me in.

I stumbled and fell onto my knees, but I turned around and prepared to run out only to have the door slam into my face. I slumped down to my knees, holding my hand up to my face; my bangs sticking out through the openings between my fingers. I should have left sooner…now I might not ever be able to see Chrono again.

I looked around the white room. It only had one bed on one side of the room and a pile of magazines in the opposite side of the wall the bed was on. I sighed with grief as I lay down onto the bed. This was going to be a long night.

Remington shut the door and sighed sadly. She forced this upon herself. Now she must pay the consequences. And she'd been visiting the demon for two days now. A group of nuns reported spotting her climb through a window and not coming back out after a long period of time.

Remington leaned up against the door to listen, but remembered that it was sound proof. He shook his head and walked away, preparing to make up excuses for the reason why Rosette will not be attending to her class anymore.

Remington walked away, swinging the keys to the door in his index finger around in circles.

Chrono stood up from his laying position. He had deemed that he just heard a noise. A slight shuffling sound again. Chrono's ear perked up as he looked wildly around, suddenly, there was an arm around his throat. The room lit up suddenly as a holy blade shone out before Chrono, the side of the blade dangerously close to Chrono's stomach. Chrono's ears flickered as a soft voice whispered, "…if you move one inch, I will split your stomach open, and watch all your fluids spill out…" Chrono hissed at the voice of Remington.

"Damned human!" He spat out, but not struggling to break free. He heard a silent laugh as Remington's arms tightened.

"Tell me what you did to Rosette! Why was she coming here?" Remington asked, moving the blade closer to Chrono's body. Chrono felt a bead of sweat drip down his forehead as he gulped. This wasn't exactly the way he wanted to die. "I don't know a Rosette! He spat out.

"Don't taunt me demon. The girl who has been coming to visit you, her name was Rosette!" Remington said, choking Chrono for a brief moment and then loosening his grip.

Chrono thought about it. This man was looking for the girl he had befriended. Rosette was her name though? He had not once asked for the girl's name, he had realized, he was just used to calling humans by their gender. "No stupid girl has been visiting me, Father!" Chrono taunted, using the word Father. Feh. As if he would ever respect him.

Remington made a low-pitched growl and moved the blade so that it was burning Chrono's skin. "Don't lie Sinner!" He screamed into Chrono's sensitive ear, causing it to twitch.

"I'm not lying, so get your unworthy hands off me!" Chrono screamed back to the startled minister.

Remington reluctantly let go of Chrono, holding his blade ready if Chrono tried to attack. "Is this the truth?" Chrono nodded. "…I don't believe you!" Remington spat out, his holy blade moving to point at Chrono's chest. He made a movement that made him look like he was about to stab Chrono.

Chrono stood his ground, a slight smirk playing at his lips. "Priest, you are making a big mistake. I'm telling you, whoever that Girl is, is innocent. Doing what you did to her will only prove that deep down, you too are a demon." Chrono knew he hit a nerve.

Remington gasped. "H-how did you—" Chrono rudely interrupted him.

"I'm not stupid, Priest. I can practically swim in the demonic aura I feel around you." Chrono stated, standing up straight with an overwhelming since of pride.

Remington frowned. "I should have known better than coming here to seek answers from the likes of you!" Remington turned around, waving his hand down a certain part of the wall, the wall surprisingly opened up. Bright sunlight shone through the opened part of the wall, a winding path of steps leading up to the opening. Remington grinned after a few minutes of waiting and turned back around to face Chrono. "So, you know that if you try to escape, you'll be burned by the holy energy of the Order."

Chrono stayed silent.

"Thought so." Remington turned to leave, the door shutting behind him.

Chrono paled. What had that priest done to Rosette? He glared at the opening that had just shut. He couldn't risk escaping. He would be burnt to a crisp. The Order had set up a strong barrier meant to keep demons out. And they meant, keep demons out. Chrono learned that the first time he had tried to escape. How was he going to see the Girl again? Wait…why was he even thinking about her? Chrono shook his head, his hair flying around him. He moved back to his normal corner and sat down, but the Girl kept on popping up in his mind.

Remington was running by the time he had left Magdalene's grave. He had to apologize to Rosette. He had probably scared the heck out of the poor, little girl. But then he stopped running abruptly. Why had she been going into the hut in the first place? Maybe she wanted to see if Elder was there? Remington frowned sadly, thinking about his lost friend.

It was actually more like loosing a brother, than a friend. When Remington first came to the Order, Elder was here. He and Elder became good friends soon after.

Maybe it would be best if he moved her out of the cold room and into a brighter room with much more coloring in it…

I groaned. It had most defiantly been past the day when I had been captured by Remington and placed in this prison. And I was hungry! I moaned as I stood up and started pounding on the doors. "Hey! Someone out there? Cause I'm very hungry and I'd appreciate it greatly if you gave me something to eat!" I screamed at the door, my stomach growling.

There was nothing at first, but then a tiny hatch on the side of the door slid open and someone pushed a tray of food in it. I stared hungrily at the food. Finally! I grabbed a hold of it instantly and began to eat, the growls in my stomach conclusively ending. But that was a wrong move. As soon as I ate my first bite, I began to feel drowsy. I silently cursed myself for being blonde when I realized that they must have done something to the food…my head fell down onto the cold, tiled floor as I snored gently.

Remington turned to a Militia officer, Ambien. "Is she sleeping?" Ambien looked deeper into the screen before him and nodded. "Good, then the pills worked." Ambien pushed a button on the side of the camera screen as the door to the sleeping prisoner opened. Remington walked in and grabbed the sleeping girl swiftly into his arms, carrying her down the hallway to her new location.

Bright light shone in my eyes, waking me up. I gasped as I noticed that I was in a different room. It was much brighter in here, thanks to a window. It also had a desk with drawing paper on it, more magazines, and some books; including the much more comfortable looking bed in it. I sighed as I pulled my body up off of the bed, it cracked in return. Ooh…that food that I ate gave me a weird feeling in my stomach.

I stood up and stretched, I was still in the same clothes from yesterday. I stepped up to the window and looked out it, seeing the hut of the dead Elder.

I'll find a way to get to you somehow Chrono! Then we can escape together!

Chrono opened his crimson gaze. He was alone; that was common. He was used to being alone. He looked sadly up at the lime colored, brick walls. He wondered what had happened to Rosette and if he would ever see her again? This was the only bad thing he found in being a demon. Being able to do nothing to save Rosette.

He sighed as he closed his eyes again. That's all he could now these days; sleep and wait.

I hadn't moved from standing by the window. Breakfast had come and gone, Lunch coming around the corner. Someone scooted a tray of food under another door side openers, but I hadn't touched it. I dared not to. They could have put in that stuff to make me fall asleep again.

I had to find a way out of here or I would go insane! I needed to see Chrono! It was like an addiction now, my life revolving around seeing Chrono again. I thought up escape plans, the only one good enough was breaking the window and jumping down. But this building was more then three stories high! It would be almost impossible for me to jump down without hurting myself! But I would try if it meant I could see Chrono again!

I grabbed hastily at my bed sheets and began to tie them together; doing something in which the children in a bad orphanage would do. Tie a bed rope. Sure, it probably wouldn't hold, but as long as it got me close enough to the ground for me to jump off and land safely without hurting myself.

Once done, I tied it to my bedpost, scooting my bed closer to the window so that it would give me more rope room. I then looked for something heavy enough to break the window. I spotted it. It must have been a dictionary; because that was the biggest book I've ever set eyes on!

I eagerly picked it up and backed away as I began to throw it. It hit the window and broke it, glass shattering and falling out the window. I grinned as I threw my homemade rope out the window, watching it stop once it had gone it's full length.

Grasping a tight hold of the rope, I began to climb down. Slowly at first, but soon picked up my pace. I couldn't mess this one up! My legs wrapped around the rope underneath me as I inched myself down, but stopped when my legs didn't feel any more rope. Darn. I looked down to see that I was about two and a half stories off the ground. I was about to climb back up, but I heard a small stretching sound.

It sounded as if the rope was going to break. I had no choice. I would have to jump on three. One…Two…Three—

The rope gave way, sending me cascading down to the ground, landing hard on my back. I moaned as I thought I had broken it, but I slowly eased onto my legs and began to run off towards the graveyard at a slow pace. Falling out a window can easily wake you up.

Once there I looked around, I don't think anybody saw me. I sighed in relief as I began to look around for the "Holy Maiden's" grave. A few feet ahead of me, the biggest tombstone of them all, said the words, "Here lies the Holy Maiden, may she rest in eternal slumber." It scared me a little. Rest in Eternal Slumber, they acted as if they didn't want her to wake up. I stepped up to the grave and rested my hand on it, bowing my head and saying my respects silently in my head.

After finishing, I looked around for clues leading to the hidden passageway, if there was one in the first place. I walked around the tombstone, looking at it's back as I rested my hand gently on it—

SWOOSH!

I saw the ground rise before me as I fell into some type of hole, only, it was a hole with stairs in it. I screamed out as I rolled down them.

Chrono's eyes latched open. He heard a scream. Was someone in danger?

Whimpering softly to myself, I stood up and rubbed my head. "Mean, old, stupid stairs that is actually a hidden passageway…" I mumbled, looking around at my surroundings. A door made of stone was before me, in back of me was the stairs leading up. I think I just found the door to Chrono's chamber.

Chrono stood up. He was for sure that he heard a scream.

I raised my hand up and touched the wall, more out of instinct then thinking about what it might do if I did. Surprisingly, the door slid open slowly.

Chrono's crimson eyes narrowed. It was probably that annoying priest again. He watched as the door slid open all the way before flying onto the ceiling and clinging onto it, preparing to leap down at the pesky man.

My eyes adjusted to the darkness around me as the door behind me shut. I hoped silently that it would reopen when I wanted it to. I mentally placed the location of the door into my mind, hoping that I'll remember where it was.

It was quiet in here…too quiet. "…C-Chrono…?" I whispered silently, I heard a rustle of movement and then a flush of air, I looked up just in time to see my demon leap down from the ceilings and pin me down to the ground.

Chrono's fangs were bared as he hissed down at the supposed intruder. "Stupid Priest, did you think you would fool me so easily—" He stopped himself, closing his mouth as he saw that the intruder was not the priest, but in fact the girl herself.

I whimpered as Chrono got off of me slowly. "Thanks for attacking me!" I said sheepishly. Chrono didn't say anything, he only stood his distance. "Where are you? I can't see in the dark!" I cried out, moving my hands wildly around, Chrono's clawed one wrapped around mine, stopping my movements.

"How did you come back? That priest had acted as if you were being punished for visiting me." Chrono said slowly, moving towards me, his warm body against mine.

"Well…I wouldn't say punished exactly, he caught me right after I jumped out the window and was running back towards the main building. He then took me into a room that only had a bed and some magazines. Soon after, he left some food, which I ate, and made me fall asleep, he then moved me into a room with a window in it. I broke the window and escaped and now here I am!" Chrono nodded to my words as I took a deep breath.

"I see." His hold on me tightened as I hugged him.

"I missed you! I thought I would never be able to see you again!" Tears poured down my face and onto his chest as I cried. "I don't want to feel that way again!" Chrono only nodded and listened. "So that's why we have to escape!" I said with my determination set on course.

"And how do you suppose we do that?" He replied in a bored tone, tapping his clawed fingers on my shoulder.

"Well! I found the passageway from the Holy Maiden!"

I moved back to where I thought the door closed. I rubbed my hand on the wall and with a soft swish, the door reopened. "Alright! I found it again! Now let's go!" I ran back and grabbed Chrono's clawed hand and began to struggle to pull him out with me, but I stopped when he wasn't budging. "What's wrong? We can go now!"

Chrono shook his head, his purple hair swirling around him and his ears twitching slightly. "If I go out there, I'll be burned from the holy energy. I can assure you, I've tried to escape and it didn't work out to well..." He said in a sad tone, recalling his most recent escape.

My eyes narrowed. "…What can we do now then…because I want to run away and I'm not leaving without you!"

He looked up into my blue eyes. "Do you really want me to go with you that bad?" He asked hesitantly, I nodded instantly. "Then there might just be a way." Chrono released his hold on my hand and took a step back.

I watched with curiosity, as there was a slight reddish glow and then a slight clicking sound. Before me, instead of the demon I knew, stood a seven-foot tall, human male with the same purple hair only in a different outfit. It slightly resembled something that someone would have worn back in the Cowboy and Indian days. I gasped lightly as I saw him cock up an eyebrow and stare at me in question. "…You're a demon…but you look…like a human…" I informed him slowly.

Chrono nodded slightly.

"High-ranking demons, such as myself, have the ability to change their form from a human guise to their all natural true from." He told me, his deep voice I've known so well had gone up to a lighter tone. "Hurry before someone spots us!" He growled slightly, grabbing onto my hand as we ran up the stairs.

I followed, a question bugging me. "Chrono! Why did you not turn into a human and escape from the first place?" I asked, holding on tighter to his now, clawless, hands.

He cleared his throat. "I told you already. I despise you humans. I wouldn't stoop low enough as to become one and escape. This was my last resort." He stated, stopping to look at me.

"Are you stuck like that forever?"

"No. I can change form willingly."

We continued running, Chrono still in the lead. I looked around. Our escape was too easy; it made me a bit nervous to think that they would let us go so easily without some sort of plan—

Chrono pushed me to the ground as a blade zoomed over us. Chrono made a growling noise in the bottom of his throat as he laid over me. I tried my best to see what exactly he was growling at. Remington. He sure did try to stop me a lot, didn't he?

"I knew you were lying! Rosette, are you hurt?" Remington asked, a tad bit of concern in his voice. Chrono growled even more.

"She's fine with me!" He spat out.

Remington cocked an eyebrow. "And how can you assure that, since you do despise us humans ever so much." He crossed his arms over his chest, waiting for a reply.

Chrono didn't say anything, he only continued to glare and growl lowly at the priest.

"Why won't you kill her? You didn't hesitate last time when another girl came into your chambers. You killed her right on the spot." Remington said in a matter of fact tone. Chrono didn't say anything again; he only leaned closer to my body. "And anyways, if you were to take Rosette, which I won't let you, where would you go and how would you feed her? Humans aren't like demons, Sinner. They need food and water constantly."

Chrono stood up slowly and held me tight against his chest. "I know that, Priest! And I will do anything necessary to make sure that she gets what she needs!" Chrono said in an ominous tone. I looked up to see Chrono's red eyes turn into slits. How could they turn into slits if he were human?

"Is this true? What has made you change your ways?" Remington spat back, his eyes flickering to stare at me in a brief glance and then landed back onto Chrono. "Why should I let you leave when I only know too well that you'll destroy the whole human nation!" He concluded coldly.

I had enough.

"Chrono won't do that, Remington! He has changed and I believe that he will take care of me! I won't let him destroy things either! He'll be good! I promise!" I cried out, struggling out of Chrono's hold and marching up to Remington's stiff form. "Please! I think it's time that I left the Order and went out to find Joshua." I said softer than I had earlier.

Remington turned his head away. "Why do you trust him, little Rosette?" My eyes shimmered as he referred to me as little. That name meant that Remington did love me and did care for me. "Why can't you just stay here and let the Order look for your brother? I would do anything for you and I don't want to see you get hurt by that damned demon."

"If you would do anything for me, than you would let me go." I said even more softly, putting up my hands and wrapping them around his neck; hugging him tightly. "I thought of you as my father, Remington. And all children have to leave their parents someday." I moved away from Remington and headed back to Chrono's anxious form.

"I know Chrono and I will be fine."

Chrono watched me with interest as I walked up to him and held his hand, leading him to the exit to the Order. Chrono took one last look at Remington, seeing that he wasn't going to make an effort to stop Rosette; he grinned lightly and followed me.

This was it; I could feel my heart pound lightly in my chest as Chrono and I neared the invisible barrier to the Order. Was I really going to do this? What if Chrono was only pulling a trick on me to just let me free him? We would find out soon enough.

I was the first to step through the barrier, feeling the light tingly feeling of warmth spread throughout my body. I stopped to watch Chrono hesitantly put his hand out and felt around the outside world; stepping out of the barrier of the Order for the first time in a long time. I saw him wince slightly as he passed it, realizing as a demon it might still hurt him.

Chrono looked around and breathed in the fresh air. He turned to me and grinned. "It's been so long since I've been able to see the sunlight." He turned back and looked at our surroundings. I grinned also.

"Let's go already!" I tugged on his arms, only to find that he wasn't budging. I turned back to see him let go of my hand and revert to his normal form; his demon form.

"Yes…let's…" Chrono wrapped his clawed hands around my body, holding me up to his chest.

"What are you—" I stopped in mid sentence as I heard a startling sound, I nearly jumped out of his arms. I looked behind him to see that he had unfolded his wings. Oh…no…he wouldn't…Chrono looked up into the air with a strong determination…he would… "C-Chrono! I must warn you! I get sick very easily when I'm really high up!" I grasped even more tightly to Chrono's body.

He only grinned and leapt off the air, his great wings behind him flapping hard. We were already over a hundred feet in the air. I looked down as I felt my stomach lurch. "I don't like this! I don't like this!" I screamed into my demon's ear, it twitched lightly in return.

"You'll get used to it." He said, a sheepish grin now on his face, he held onto me tighter. "Why, are you afraid of heights?" His tone of voice was sarcastic.

I glared at him. "Well, Gee! Let me think of it! I'm a human who has never…ever, been off more than twenty feet off the ground! And here a demon is carrying me off into the air a lot higher than a hundred feet! You think about it and then tell me!"

His grin turned into a smirk. "If you think this is scary, then your going to wet your pants about what I'm about to do." I eyed him.

"And what would that be?"

"Just watch!" He folded in his wings and aimed his head straight at the ground.

He started laughing as I started to scream my head off. My hands wrapped around his neck as I screamed right in his face. He laughed harder as I pulled my head away from him, squinting my eyes, still screaming, to see how far we were from hitting the ground.

Not too far.

"Chrono! Pull up! Pull up!" I screamed at him, grasping onto his hair as he laughed even harder. "This isn't funny! We're going to die!" I screamed in his ear, we were nearing ever closer to the ground, the wind whipping my hair back as I my mouth opened as I screamed again, the wind making my cheeks blow up.

Chrono only concentrated on my face; did I really think he was going to let me die? As we neared the ground Chrono flapped his wings out, making us glide straight for a while before Chrono landed gracefully on the ground. He set me down gently, I was shaking and my hair looked as if I had sprayed a bunch of hair spray on it and then swooshed my head around in circles for a really long time. Chrono stared at me. "Did you really think I would let you die? I owe you for freeing me, so I can't allow that." His eyes looked sad.

"Um…I'm sorry, Chrono. It's just…I'm not used to being carried in the arms of a demon…" That was a major duh.

"Give it time, you'll get used to it." Chrono said, starting to walk away. I followed him, but stopped when his wings snapped together and fell down to his back, making it look like he had a cape again.

"Where we going?" I asked, catching up with Chrono's long strides.

"Off to find you some food." A near city was ahead of us. I hadn't realized Chrono had chosen already a destination for us, I thought he was just flying to get used to it again and scare the heck out of me.

"Oh…it's okay! I'm not that hungry! " I stared down at my stomach as it grumbled. I hadn't eaten since yesterday, and that was only the cookies and part of the food that made me fall asleep. Chrono looked up as his sensitive ears heard the sound of my stomach. "…Eh…Guess I am more than just hungry…"

Chrono nodded as we stepped into the town. People stopped to stare at us, gasping and dropping what they were holding. I sweat dropped as I noticed why they might be gasping; Chrono was still in his demon form. I held up my hands. "This isn't what it looks like—" I let out a shriek as people started screaming.

"Demon! Run before he kills us! Run!"

"Please don't hurt us!"

"I want to live!"

"Hurry, before he steals your soul!"

Chrono didn't complement on any of these sentences, he only kept on walking stiffly towards his destination. This place must have been a big city, because tons of people ran towards/past us. I stopped when the first of the shouting began, trying to calm the people down, but it proved to be futile. They started pushing me along with them, people were saying, "Run, Girl! Before it kills you too!" or similar things such as that. I couldn't do anything though, there was too many people pushing against me, I couldn't run past them. "Please! Stop! He won't hurt you! Please stop! I need to go to him! People move!" I shouted over the crowd's screams, but it seemed no one had heard me. I tried to look above some people to see where Chrono was, but he was nowhere to be found. I held my hand up above my head, considering the fact that I might be too small for people to see me. Still they pushed against me, carrying me off with the current of people. "Chrono!"

The people stopped suddenly, no one moving.

Before me stood a very angry looking Chrono. I shuddered at the thought of what he might do if he stayed angry…I quickly grasped onto his arm and hugged him tightly. "Chrono…please…don't do anything drastic…" I tugged on his arm when I thought he hadn't heard me. "Chrono…?"

Chrono lifted up the hand that I wasn't holding onto and held it in front of the people, none of them moving. "Chrono! Please don't! Please…" I begged, trying to grab onto his arm to lower it. He looked down at my face, my eyes shimmering as I buried my face into his side, holding back the sobs. He lifted his eyes off me and stared at the people around him, lowering his arm. "Thank you…" I said quietly. Chrono ignored me and walked past the people, I at his side.

The people murmured as they watched us head into a nearby food market; none of them sure if they should run away or stay. So they slowly walked out of they city, just incase.

My eyes skimmed over the leaving people as I sighed. I prevented Chrono from killing a lot of people today. I held tightly to Chrono's arm as we walked into a store.

The shop keep trembled as he saw us walk before him, slightly cowering behind his counter. I smiled weakly at the man as Chrono walked down an isle, with me still holding onto him. As we passed, Chrono picked up a basket and without having a care in the world, he started picking out numerous of foods and placing them into the basket, once done, he turned to the drinking isle and crammed assorted drinks and placed them into a separate basket.

I coughed slightly. "Chrono…don't you think that's a bit much?" He looked down at me with concerned eyes.

"Don't you want to eat?" He stopped for a moment.

"Well…how are we going to pay for all this?" I asked, Chrono only laughed. "Chrono! We do have to pay! We can't just take all this stuff!" I waved my arms around.

"Why not? I am a demon after all, demons can do whatever they want." He continued shoving some more food in the basket, but stopped when I put my hand over his clawed one. I stared at him with my blue intense eyes.

"No. We have to pay for this! And if you do take all this, I won't eat it!" I crossed my arms over my chest and tapped my foot as a sour look came across Chrono's face.

"Damn it! I'll force you to eat it!" He glowered at me.

"No! I'm going to get a job and pay for this stuff in the natural way!" I turned heel and walked out of the store, giving the shop keep a sympathetic smile before doing so. I heard Chrono let out a growl of anger as he ran after me.

"And what are you going to do in the mean time? Starve?" I nodded as his growl deepened. "What is a job anyways?" He asked, the basket full of food not in his hand, I'm guessing he left it in the store.

"It's where you work for someone and they give you money for doing so." I said simply, my eyes scanning around the city; looking for a sign that said, "Help wanted." Chrono scoffed. "You know, you could get a job too if you were in your human form, than maybe we might stand a better chance of getting one, since your frightening all the people away!" I snapped, finally spotting the sign. I walked over to it, Chrono following me. I saw him out of the corner of my eye. "You can't come! The people will freak again and not give me a job!" I cried.

"Then I'll force them too." Chrono said with an evil smile and with a swift crack of his knuckles.

"No you won't! I'm going to get a job the way Joshua did when I was with him." My eyes closed as I thought about the bear I left in my book bag. I left him at the Order.

"Your teddy bear got a job?" Chrono asked in question.

"No. I had a brother named Joshua also! That's why I named my bear after him." I held my hands out in front of Chrono, halting him in place. "Okay, now stay here and I'll see if I can get one!" I walked backwards, making sure that he stayed, before turning around and walking into the store, peering out of the windows to see that Chrono was gone. I shook my head as I saw a friendly old couple sitting behind a counter.

"Hello! How may I help you?" The old woman of the couple said. I smiled.

"I saw your help wanted sign, Ma'am! I was wondering if I could get a job from you!" I held my hands behind my back, not exactly knowing how to ask for a job.

"That's great! Our assistant ran off, so that caused us to put up a sign. In fact, I saw a lot of people running, I do wonder why." The old woman stated curiously.

I nodded, slightly thinking of Chrono. "What exactly do I have to do, Ma'am?" I asked kindly.

"We deliver newspapers, you get five cents for every house you deliver a news paper at." The old man said. "You start tomorrow…that is…if those people come back." He smiled back at me.

"That's great! I'll see you tomorrow then." I gave a wave to them as I walked out of the store. "That was fast and almost too easy!" I said with a snap of my fingers. I looked around. "Where'd Chrono go…?" I almost screamed out as I saw a dust storm fly up in front of me. Once the dust cleared up, I saw the now human Chrono huffing and bended over with his hands on his knees. A box full of milk cartons was at his feet. I grinned. "So you got a job also?" Chrono caught his breath and raised his head, glaring at me.

"This would have been so much easier if you had just let me take the food from that store…" He grumbled, picking up the box full of milk cartons. I smiled and patted his back.

"Well, I got a job as a paper girl!" Chrono gave me a final glare before he ran off, dropping milk cartons at each door. "Poor Chrono…" I mumbled. Chrono was a demon, so they probably didn't have to do jobs in his world. I'm surprised Chrono even got one. The employer must have been really desperate.

I stood up and sat down on the sidewalk next to the food store, waiting for Chrono to finish. I looked up when I felt a small tap on my shoulder. "Yes…Oh it's you!" I looked up to see the store keep standing above me.

He looked down at me with a small smile. "Thank you for what you did in there…you look hungry. Here." He bent down and gave me a small loaf of bread, patting me on the head lightly and walking back into the store. My gaze watched him as he started to clean up his store.

"Sir…it's my fault…let me help you." I stood up, my bread still in my hand as I set it down softly on the counter and began to help clean up the mess Chrono made.

The man smiled and nodded, as we cleaned up the mess together; putting all the foods and drinks back in their proper places.

"It must be hard for you, to travel with a demon." The shop keep said, finishing off putting all the food away. I said nothing as I put the final bottle back in its cabinet. "Are you okay with traveling with him?" He asked, handing me my bread.

I nodded. "It was my choice in the first place, besides, he's really nice once you get to know him." The shop keep nodded slowly as he placed something else in my hands. I opened up my hand to see fifty cents in my hand. "Oh no, Sir! I couldn't—"

"Please, take it. You two are traveling and it will be hard to make money. It's the least I can do." He said slowly, a smile playing at his lips.

"Thank you very, very much, Sir." I gave a small wave at him as I placed the change into my pant pocket and walked out of the store, sitting back onto the sidewalk and eating my bread. It tasted good. I looked up when I heard a scream. Across the distance, an old woman was hitting Chrono with her broom as he started yelling at her. I giggled lightly as he screamed and ran away, probably to go finish delivering the milk cartons.

A beeping sound went off, waking up a sleeping demon. He moaned quietly to himself, rubbing his eyes. His violet eyes moved over to a small pocket watch sitting on a desk; it was glowing green. The demon smirked. "So, my brother. You have finally escaped."
