SC: All right! I just finished typing the first chapter and now I'm getting straight to work on chapter two! And I also felt so bad about making the last chapter a cliffy for those who haven't read my story before…but it's hard! We Fanfiction writers love to write cliffy and torture your poor wandering minds! Well…not all of us, but most of us! Read and Review!


Chrono shook with anger. He kept on seeing mental flashes of Rosette taking Aion's hand and disappearing, over and over again. "D-damn him!"

He lied to himself. He promised he wouldn't let him take her!

Chrono slumped down to the ground in defeat, head lowered, tears streaming down his face. He couldn't let this happen. If he lost her…No. He would get her back! Whatever trick Aion played to screw with Rosette's head did not matter. He'd take Rosette back even if she liked it or not.

As Chrono stared down at the ground, the Covenant's Militia squad began to emerge from the buildings, led by Father Remington and Sister Kate, armed and ready.

Yuan came to a halting stop behind Chrono. "Chrono…the alarms…what happened?"

Elder pushed past a few Militia agents and stood next to Yuan. "We're too late, aren't we?"

Chrono didn't say anything.

Claire, one of the high-ranking exorcists, walked towards Chrono, crouching down and patting his back. "Chrono, please. What happened? Where's Rosette?"

He shook her arm off. "Aion…t-took her…" He stared up at Father Remington.

Yuan's eyes widened briefly, he then exchanged a look with Elder. "So…it was him we were sensing. Why didn't we see the signs that he has come?"

Chrono shook his head in confusion. "I don't know…Even I couldn't sense him this time! I failed! I failed! I failed!" Chrono moaned miserably, pounding on his head and wrapping his arms around his head, laying down flat on the grass.

Elder looked at Chrono and sighed. It looked as if he would have to show them his new invention sooner than he had expected. "Come with me!" He waltzed off toward his lab.

"Everyone, be prepared for anything, I want a watch guard around this place twenty four/seven!" Remington snapped hastily.

The Militia team nodded hesitantly and did as requested.

"Come on, Chrono. We're going to get her back." Yuan shook Chrono, getting him to stand up.

"I know…" He replied coldly, he turned and walked towards Elder's lab.

Rosette awoke from a spark coming out from the watch hung around her neck. She lifted her head and saw that it was indeed sparkling, but it soon settled down to two bolts every few seconds.

"Chrono…" Rosette stood up and observed her surroundings. Even she couldn't believe that she had gone with Aion. She felt as if she were in a daze when he came, so lightheaded…

She walked over to the window of her room and gasped. When did she come to a beach? Is this where Aion really kept Joshua? At a beach?

She gasped again. Joshua! Aion had taken her to Joshua!

"Joshua! Joshua!" She rammed into her door when she found that it was locked, locked? Why were they treating her like a prisoner? Well…she did try to shoot Aion, but it hadn't even hurt him!

"Let me out! Aion! You said you would take me to—" She backed away from the door when it opened.

Outside of her room was what looked like a house servant. She had short, dark brown hair with a white clothe over it and was wearing an apron. "The door was open…" She informed her quietly.

Rosette blushed after making a fool of herself. "Whoops…" She must have tried to open the door the wrong way.

"I-I'm sorry…" She bowed her head in apology. "But…is…Joshua here…?"

The supposed house servant was silent for a moment. "Lord Aion told me about you, that you were here to see Master Joshua. My Lord told me to tell you that Joshua is, indeed, here." She nodded.

Rosette found a sudden rush of excitement flow through her. At last, she had finally found Joshua…but what costs had it come from? Aion surely wouldn't take her to Joshua and not expect to be rewarded with something…but what? Aion wasn't known for doing good deeds…but…she never heard of him doing anything bad…Chrno never told her why he was so mad at Aion.

Joshua…I finally found you…

Chrono stared down at Elder's arched back. What could he possibly have that could help? Sure, he had the bullets, swords, barriers, and holy energy, but that was about it.

Elder than turned around, holding a box with gadgets on it that made it look like a happy face.

"The gun tracker?" Yuan asked, bending down and poking it.

"No!" Elder defended his prized item. "It's special! You can hurt its feelings when you say things like that!" He caressed the object.

"Feelings?" Chrono rolled his eyes. Great, Elder had finally snapped.

"Yes, feelings! Did I stutter?" Elder's eyes flashed crazily, pointing a long nailed finger at Chrono.

"N-no!" Chrono backed away, deciding that he wanted to stay on Elder's good side today.

Father Remington rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Alright…so what does it do?" He gazed down at the object.

Elder nodded. "Let me explain! This…is an Apostle Tracker!"

Chrono lost his temper. They were wasting precious time that he could be using to look for Rosette! "We don't need an Apostle Tracker thinger majig! We need a Rosette Tracker!" He screamed.

Elder only tisked and knocked him down with his fist like a hammer pounding in a nail. "Fool! Think about it! Joshua is an apostle! Since Aion did take her, she should probably be with him!"

Chrono thought for a moment. "Wait…Then…we do need this thing!"

Elder smiled. "Exactly, now this baby will sense for an Apostle's energy source, tracking us to the Apostle…the only problem is…" He was silent for a moment. "We can only use it when one uses its Apostle powers."

"You mean like healing?" Father Remington asked.

"Yes." Elder confirmed.

"So…we can't find Rosette until Joshua uses his healing powers?" Chrono asked.

"That's what we just said…" Elder nodded.

"Hmm…can he even use his healing powers? I mean, he has my horns…surely a demon can't use holy powers!" Chrono shouted, knowing somehow that the device would prove to be futile.

"Well…that's true…we don't know for sure, but he could have a bit left in him. We can only wait to be sure." Elder informed them, sadness in his eyes.

Chrono sighed. "Great…just great…" Waiting wasn't Chrono's strong point.

"May I go see him?" Rosette nodded towards the door.

"Master Joshua is still sleeping. He knows not of your arrival." The house servant stated.

Rosette grinned. "All the better!" She pushed her way around the servant and wandered through the house.

"Hmm…Joshi, Joshi, where is Joshi?" She smiled when she came upon a door. I think I know where Joshua is! She opened the door and gasped as a pile of brooms, rags, sponges, soap, and buckets fell on her.

"Ah, man!" She tried to push it all back into the closet, but found it difficult. The housemaid had to come in and assist her putting all the supplies back into the closet.

"Uh, maybe…you could…tell me where he's sleeping?" Rosette asked hesitantly.

The maid pointed to a room next to the screen doors leading out to the beach.

"Figures…" Rosette couldn't help but to smile. She did it, well…Aion did it, but she'll just say that she did it.

Her smile grew so wide that she thought her face would be stuck like that!

She twisted the knob and pushed the door open, trying not to make too much noise. She opened it up just a crack and saw her little brother laying peacefully on his bed. His Pj's didn't look too much different from the ones he was wearing at the night Aion gave him Chrono's horns. His hair was still a sandy blonde color, but more spikier, similar to the way Chrono's hair was, just blonde not purple.

She pushed the door all the way open and crept in. The floor creaked and groaned with every step, that she had to go at a slow pace to not give away her presence. She didn't know if Joshua was a sound sleeper or not. Back then, Joshua would awake at the slightest of movements in his room. She wasn't so sure now…

She was up to his now, glancing down at his face. She had waited four years for this. And now…now her mission was finished.

She grinned as she gained up her courage and touched his face…

Only to have his hand pull up and grab her arm, twisting it, and pushing Rosette head first to the ground, having her trapped.

His eyes turned to slits as he stared down at the intruder.

"Oww! Joshua! Let go!" The intruder started to struggle.

Wait…he knew that voice…it was so familiar, but far off. Like it was there, but not there. As requested, he let go, letting the intruder turn around and stare into his face.

He gasped in shock…it couldn't be! His voice hoarse, he choked out, "R-Rosette?"


SC: Evil, evil, evil! I did it again. Kill me now. I'm sorry guys, but I found that this was the best place to stop at.

Chrono: Joy.

SC: Hey! Chrono's here! Hello my Chrono muse! Say Hi Chrono!

Chrono: Hi…?

SC: …Good enough, please review me and tell me how you like my story! If you have any suggestions, questions, or any mistakes that I made, please tell me! Or if you just want to say that you liked the story, that's perfectly okay too!
