SC: Hey! It's been a while, but I've been working on, "Until Death, Do We Part," so many of you aren't upset.
Chrono: Thank God. I don't want to go through what happened last time…
Last time.
SC: (Running) I SWEAR! I'LL GET IT OUT A.S.A.F.P!
Reviewers: NOO! NOW! WE WANT TO READ NOW!

SC: Sheesh…and where'd the get those pitchforks?
Rosette: I don't know.
Aion: (Whistling)
SC: YOU!
Aion: Who me? No! I was just whistling!
SC: Nuh-uh! People always whistle when their lying! (Starts whistling)
Aion: Does that mean your lying?
SC: No…maybe…yes…
Rosette: Okay…
SC: I'm so happy that I'm getting some reviews on this!
Chrono: On the good side, there have been no bad reviews, such as flames!
SC: THANK YOU!
Disclaimer: Do I have to?
Father Remington: Yes.
SC: Fine…I don't own it.
Chrono: Ok.
SC: HA! I SAID "IT"! THOSE DAMN LAWYERS WILL NEVER KNOW!
Lawyer: HEY! SHE LIED! GET HER!
SC: (Screams and runs away)
It was dark all around her. A faint mist swirled around her feet, making it almost impossible to see where she was walking. Ahead of her was a dim light, as she walked towards it, it got brighter. Soon, she was right next to it. Taking notice, it was actually a door, slightly ajar. She pulled the door all the way open and looked inside.
This room wasn't dark like the other. It had a nice, big, green space with trees around it and a lake to finish it off. It reminded her slightly of the place where she, Joshua, and Chrono hung out…
She stepped through the door, turning around to see that the door had disappeared, making her unable to go back where she previously was.
Down near the lake was a log sticking out over the water; on top of it sat a boy with long, purple hair that was slightly tangled. Next to the log, on the grass, was a picnic blanket among a boy with sandy blonde hair lying with a basket full of food right next to him.
She smiled and waved to them, running towards them. Chrono and Joshua noticed the running girl and turned to smile at her as she ran to them.
Slowly, she came to a stop, her eyes wide in horror. The beautiful piece of land was now a war zone. Crimson stained the green grass, the sky, a deep gray color with a deep fog in the distance, and the lake, instead of being it normal clear liquid form, it was blood red.
She screamed out to Joshua as she saw a demon walking towards him. He wore a tight body suit; it cut off right at his shoulders and went down to his feet, a black and gray color. The demon had horns that stuck straight up in the air, with short white hair and a tail connected to his skull. His eyes were brilliant gold, tiny slits in the middle of them. His fangs showed in his smile to her. He stepped forward and wrapped his long claws around Joshua's neck.
She flinched, her eyes twitching as she saw Joshua's head snap and in mere moments…he was dead. She screamed and turned to stare at Chrono, who was now standing right next to her, shaking his head in pity.
She tried to tell him to do something, but she couldn't talk. He then started talking, but she couldn't hear the words that he said.
Then he bolted forward and attacked the demon, but with a simple strike through the chest, Chrono fell besides the headless Joshua.
She watched as the white haired demon flew to her nearby Orphanage and easily destroyed it and the occupants inside.
She walked around and found herself at the Covenant, in ruins. She screamed as she saw Father Remington dead and a few of the sisters torn to pieces. The building before her was on fire.
Everyone was dead. And she was the only one left alive, besides the white haired demon.
She turned and saw the very devil that caused this. It was dark out, so it was hard to see his face. He was wearing his battle armor…but it seemed different. But then, he shifted in the shadows, showing that it wasn't the white haired demon at all. It was the person who she loved most and who had just previously died…Chrono…
This was exactly what she never wanted to happen. What she had devoted her life to stop from happening. When the white haired demon killed Chrono that was only one Chrono. It seemed as if he killed the good one, leading the evil one to freedom.
IT seemed as if time erased it's self, because there was Chrono standing in front of her. Not the evil one she saw minutes earlier.
All of them were on a platform that was floating in the sky. The same white haired demon was there with them. He and Chrono exchanged a few words, then zoomed forward to meet for an attack.
Then what she saw next, would haunt her forever. The white haired demon gave a hard tug and Chrono's horns came off. She couldn't hear Chrono scream, but she was glad that she didn't.
A long, blonde haired girl appeared suddenly and ran forward to catch Chrono; doing so made both her and Chrono fall of the platform.
They slowly descended to the ground, thanks to the longhaired girl's wings.
She realized that this girl must be an Apostle.
Once they landed, the girl stared at Chrono, sympathy in her eyes. Then she placed Chrono's hand on her chest, gasping, when he dug his claws into her.
The scene changed again. This time they were in the middle of nowhere. Chrono stood there, holding the blonde girl in his arms, his eyes wide with horror, fear, and anger. He slowly reached behind him and pulled out the same white haired demon's arm from inside of him. Chrono was shaking, from what she could tell, and stared longingly at the dead girl in his arms.
Chrono's face shadowed up and you couldn't see any part of his face, except for the long, white, glistening fangs that were starting to show. He dropped the girl down to the ground, starting to shake really badly now.
She had all she could take. She ran forward and clung onto Chrono, not sure if he could see her or not.
Surprisingly, she looked to see a shocked Chrono staring right at her. This time she heard everything he said. "R-Rosette…? What are you…why are you…how?" He managed to croak out. Not finding it appeasing that his contractor had just saw what had happened fifty years ago.
She sniffed, digging her face into his chest, hugging him tightly. "I don't know who that girl was, but she tried to save you! And I'm glad that she did so."
Chrono's angry demeanor quickly changed to a one of happiness. "Rosette…I…" He stopped talking when he noticed that they now on a cliff next to a ocean.
She let go of Chrono and looked around. Down below her, she saw Joshua running away. "Wait…No! Chrono!" She turned around and saw Chrono, face to face, with Aion.
Wait…Aion…he has whit hair and so did that demon…could they be…? So that was why Chrono hated him so much. He tried to warn her about him, but she didn't listen to him. She owed Chrono a big apology.
Chrono glared at Aion, but he gasped when Aion walked straight through him, heading towards her. He stopped inches away from her, his mouth was moving, but nothing came out.
She remembered this…she knew what was going to happen. She didn't feel the agonizing pain or feel the grief of never seeing Chrono again.
She looked up to see horror fill in Chrono's eyes. She gave a weak smile and fell to the ground…
Chrono started twitching, instantly transforming to his real form. His face shadowed up and he let out a scream, blasting off towards Aion, viciously attacking him.
She couldn't move, but she could see what was happening. She saw it when Chrono killed Aion, she saw it when Aion fell to the ground, dead, and she saw Joshua running up to her.
There were tears running from his eyes as he mouthed the word, "Rosette," over and over again. Her eyes moved toward the side to see Chrono move up behind Joshua.
She tried to struggle now, to tell him to run, get away, but to no use. She saw Chrono raise his hand and end Joshua's life…
"AHHH! NO!" Rosette screamed, waking up from her nightmare.
She looked around, gasping for breath. Why did such dreams ever come to her in the first place? They were down right horrifying! If that really had happened…she wouldn't have known what to do. It would be either, save you one and only family member and kill the one man…err…demon that you loved…or let your brother die by a vengeful spirit and let that dark and vile Chrono take over.
She shook her head, That'd never happen!
(A/N:MWAHAHAHA! …eh…? …your reading this…aren't you…?)
Rosette Christopher was in the same clothes she had worn yesterday. She was still in shock for the rest of yesterday, not eating anything at all and headed straight to Joshua's room…falling asleep.
She had just found her brother, only to lose him again. Why was this even happening in the first place? Why to her? Why?
She gave a frustrated yell and got up to go take a shower.
"ROSETTE!" Chrono jerked awake, grabbing hold of anything nearest to him. Which ended up being Satella…whom he let go of almost immediately.
"Oh! Morning!" Satella chirped happily, "I see that you see the bright side to things and go to the nearest source of comfort!" She smiled and concentrated on her driving.
Chrono was confused, "…What?"
Satella shook her head, her mood turning serious, "You were having a nightmare. You kept twitching in your sleep and screaming for Rosette. What did you dream about?" She looked over to the disturbed purple haired demon, his face contorted into a look of sadness.
Chrono thought about that, not finding any comfort at all in telling Satella. "It was…nothing…I was just having a bad dream, that's all…" He turned his head away.
Satella frowned. "Well, if you don't want to talk about it, then just say so." Chrono still avoided looking at her. "Now don't get all cranky, just because I asked you! Lighten up! You'll find her soon." She turned her head back onto the road.
Chrono decided to change the subject. "How long has it been?" He had no idea on what day it was.
Satella's smile returned again, "It is day two on our quest for saving Rosette!" She turned the steering wheel quickly and slammed on the breaks, making the car go into a spiral. It stopped as soon as they hit another car.
Chrono held on tightly to the seat, then let go. "That long…" That dream…it was…almost too realistic to be a dream…
Rosette had later discovered that not only one day had past, but two. She tried to make sense of the situation. "Okay…if I arrived here on Tuesday and Fiore took Joshua at the end of Tuesday, and the calendar says it's Thursday…that must mean…I'VE BEEN SLEEPING FOR TWO WHOLE DAYS!"
Rosette started mumbling to herself, finding some bread and making toast out of it with a fresh batch of coffee, which she realized that she didn't like coffee. She ate her toast and her new cup full of orange juice peacefully.
The blonde nun sighed and set her cup of juice down. "Why do I do this to myself? Aion will take good care of Joshua…he's probably better off with him then with me…" Rosette thought about it. It was true, if her dream really did happen, and if she did have Joshua and Chrono together, something like that would happen.
"No…Aion will destroy the world if I left Joshua with him…" She started cursing, rubbing her head from an oncoming headache.
Her eyes scanned around the room, searching for clues that might lead her to Joshua's location, when it hit her. Aion's room.
She thought that he'd probably had made extra sure that he didn't leave anything important behind, but it wouldn't hurt anyone if she checked, just to make sure.
She got up and walked to Aion's room, pushing the door open.
Far away.
A guy name Caesar was skipping and singing, but when Rosette opened the door, he screamed down in pain and dropped down to the ground, rolling his misery.
In San Francisco.
Aion had a fairly nice room. He kept a bed next to his window and a small desk in the corner, but other than that, nothing. "Darn, I knew it would have been too good to be true."
She bent over and checked under his bed. She only saw a few dust bunnies hopping around.
"Okay…" Rosette dropped the bed covers and stood up. "Nothing…" Rosette walked out of Aion's room, shutting the door behind her.
Her blue irises scanned the house, checking everywhere, but to her displeasure, she found nonentity. "Oh, horse feathers!" She sat down on the living room couch. "Now what can I do?"
She saw a magazine of porn lying on the ground, but that was about it. No clues at all leading to Joshua's disappearance and where he might have gone. Actually, she knew where he went, but she didn't know where Eden was…
She had absolutely no idea of where Eden could be…and if she left now, she would probably get lost and die of hunger, considering the fact that she had no money with her.
She sighed and hung her arms loosely on the couch. "What can I do…? I can't do anything…I'm helpless…." Rosette rubbed her head with a hand, "I'm sorry Joshua…I can't do anything to get to you now…" Rosette wrapped her arms around her legs. "I'm sorry…Chrono…I shouldn't have left in the first place…I bet you hate me now…"
A tear slid down her face before she quickly wiped it away.
"I don't like being alone…"
"GUESSIE WHATIE?" Satella screamed in the sleeping Chrono's ear.
"Wh…at…?" Asked the groggy Chrono.
"WERE ALMOST TO SAN FRANSICO!" She screamed, honking her horn and causing some cars to veer off the road.
"REALLY?" Chrono was now fully awake and hyper than ever.
"Yep!" Satella sweat dropped and waved in apology to the now angry car drivers.
"GREAT!" Chrono leapt out of the front seat and over to the backseat, grabbing the Apostle Tracker and studied it.
"What does it say?" Satella took her eyes off the road for a minute to look at the odd device Chrono had been carrying around.
"Umm…it doesn't show a map of…wait! There it goes!" Chrono smiled and showed it to her.
Indeed, the Apostle Tracker showed a complete map of San Francisco, including the dot that located where the apostle's presence was last located.
"That's great!" Satella smiled.
"Yep!" Chrono jumped back into the front seat and eagerly awaited seeing Rosette again.
Joshua opened his eyes. Where…was he…?
HE sat up in bed to see Fiore sitting at the end of it. "Good morning, Master Joshua." Fiore nodded a greeting.
"What happened?" Joshua asked.
"Nothing, Master Joshua. You had been at home, until Aion just recently sent me down to deliver you here to Eden." Fiore spoke quietly, leaving out the part of Rosette's arrival.
"Okay…but why? We were fine at the house." He stated, standing up and stretching.
"We have been discovered there, so we thought it'd be best if we move our location on where we kept you." Fiore joined him in standing.
"Oh, alright then."
"Master Joshua, we have some breakfast waiting for you, if you'd please…" Fiore gestured out the door.
Joshua nodded, in deep thought. He had no memory of what had happened few days ago…he remembered nothing of Rosette's visiting at all…
Joshua walked into the dining room to find that Jennia and Vid were already there, looking as angry as ever.
"Master Joshua has woken up…" Fiore said, bowing and leaving to get Joshua's food.
Joshua looked to watch her leave, before taking a seat and sitting down, placing his hands on top of the desk. "What happened?"
"Nothing! Except for the fact that Aion has been wounded and almost died!" Jennia spat out, Vid saying nothing.
"Aion almost died? But how?" Joshua asked, having no memory of the white demon almost killing his sister.
"By a friend of your sister's!" Jennia said with a sour face.
"My…sister…" Joshua's face looked as if he was concentrating then he looked up and said, "I can't remember what she looks like anymore…"
"Feh…" Jennia just turned around, not mentioning the part of his memory loss.
"Master Joshua, your food." Fiore set his plate down in front of him.
"Thanks, Fi. What is her friend's name?" Joshua asked, taking a bite out of his food.
Jennia had a brief mental debate about whether he should tell him or not, "His name is…Chrono…"
Joshua's eyes widened. A flash of images of what Chrono resembled appeared in his head. "Kur…ono…" He whispered the demon's name slowly.
Him.
It was his fault.
His fault that he couldn't remember what his sister looked like.
His fault that Aion almost got killed.
Joshua owed Aion his life.
Aion had saved him from dieing at an early age.
The only part he disliked about Aion saving him was…
He hadn't seen his sister in four years….
And he bet that that was Chorno's doing…
Aion kept him away from his sister because Chrono was there with her.
He was the one keeping him away from his sister…
He was a danger to him.
And his sister.
"I'll kill that dirty bastard…" Joshua muttered, scooting his chair out. "Where is Aion now?"
Jennia smiled at seeing Joshua's vengeful face. "Aion's insisted that he went out in search for the last apostle, he should be back shortly…even though we had insisted that he wouldn't at such a weak state…"
"Chrono…" Joshua shook his fist in anger.
Azmaria had just finished her choir class and was happily skipping down a hallway. Father Remington had came up to her the other day and told her that Chrono had gone out in search for Rosette, which she just recently found out was abducted by Aion.
"Hmm…I wonder what they're doing right now?" She stopped and thought about, but then shrugged it off and continued skipping down to her room.
She walked in and had the surprise of her life. Inside her room was the one and only, Aion. The white haired demon stepped forward hastily and smiled.
"What…are you doing here?" Azmaria gasped out.
"To come get you. Now, we must hurry if we want to make it out of here without any deaths, so if you please…" He raised a hand out to her.
Azmaria's eyes widened…deaths…she nodded and took his hand, the both of them vanishing into thin air.
Suddenly, Father Remington busted into the room, only to see a flicker of air. "Damn it all! He got her!" He shook his head, "Sister Kate's not going to like this…"
"So this is where Rosette's been hanging out, lucky!" Satella cried out, jealous.
"Hmm…it is a nice house…" Chrono couldn't hold it in any longer, he screamed out Rosette's name and ran up to the house's front door.
Rosette had fallen asleep on the couch, but woke up when she heard someone scream her name, then pounding began on her front door. "What the…" She got up and looked at door, grabbing a broom that was hanging next to the door.
Bang! Bang! Bang! "ROSETTE!" Screamed a very tense voice.
"An intruder…" Rosette whispered, grasping the broom more tightly. Okay, it's probably a demon, if I open the door quick enough, I just might be able to kill him with my broom! Rosette nodded, great plan!
She slowly twisted the handle and pulled the door all the way open, instantly banging her broom over the intruder's…purple head…
Chrono was pounding on the door, since it was locked and he couldn't get in. He heard someone's feet scrap around and then stop.
He smiled at Satella, who was standing next to Chrono. She smiled back.
They heard the door twist open and expecting to see Rosette, Chrono saw a broom ram into his head, over and over again.
"DIE! DIE! DIE!" Shouted Rosette, who finished the job by using the bristle side of the broom to wipe his mouth.
She gasped for breath, but stopped breathing when she saw the laughter of her second mortal enemy…Satella the Jewel Bitch. "BITCH! WHAT ARE YOU D…oi…ng…he…re…" Rosette's eye started to twitch as she saw a boy with purple hair and in a red outfit lying on the ground, a dazed expression on his face. "Oh…"
"Nice way to say hello, Rosette!" Satella chirped out, still laughing.
"CHRONO!" She threw the broom to the side and bent down next to Chrono, who got up and grasped his head.
"Hello…to you…too…" He said slowly.
"Oh…I'm sorry…I…well you see…" Rosette paused after she saw Chrono smile.
"I know…I guess I should've told you that it was me…" Chrono shrugged, trying to maintain his calm demeanor on the outside, but on the inside, his heart was leaping for joy. "Rosette…I…"
Rosette instantly lunged forward, wrapping her arms around him and held onto him tightly.
Chrono was not surprised to see that she did so. He hugged her even more tightly in return, rocking them back and fourth. "I swear! If you ever, EVER, leave me again I'll…" he stopped in the middle of his sentence from the cause of Rosette's lips touching his own. Now this, surprised him.
Rosette ended the kiss and leaned down into the crook of his neck, whispering thee words that would make Chrono's heart melt with joy for the rest of his life, "I love you…"
"I…love you too…" Chrono whispered back, still hugging her.
Satella stood to the side, slightly getting annoyed that the blonde nun bitch was kissing and hugging HER Chrono! And the bad part of it all was, she was doing it right in front of her! She coughed and turned around so that she wouldn't have to watch the disgusting sight.
SC: I LOVE HAPPY ENDINGS! (Sobs)
Rosette: (Blushes)
Chrono: (Coughs nervously)
SC: But rest assured…this is not the end, in fact, we are far from the end. This is only the beginning of the end! MWAHAHAH! Alright, maybe if I get enough reviews, I'll write the next chapter soon. And that goes for both of my stories!
