Chapter 2- Azmaria meets Nicco

A.n: Wow…I guess no body reads Chrno Crusade fanfic….hmm…well…I am going to continue this story because I like it so…if you read it than read it…if you don't then…oh well…

"WHY DOES SHE HAVE TO SLEEP WITH CHRONO?"

Rosette yelled at the top of her lungs as she stood with Chrono in Sister Kate's office. Father Remmington had come and taken Nicco to Chrono's new room that Sister Kate had given him in the house where Rosette also slept. They were three rooms apart and Rosette always felt like there was a big distance between them at night.

"Rosette, why are you bothered by it? He was entrusted with guardianship of the girl until her real guardian arrives. She is an Apostle and needs protection…"

"Then why can't she sleep in the Sanctuary or with Azmaria…?"

"She can't, Rosette. You're just going to have to deal with it…"

Rosette bristled with anger, turned and stomped out of the office. Chrono rolled his eyes and started to chase after her until Sister Kate voice made him stop.

"Make sure our guest in accommodated, Chrono. Bring her to the hall for some dinner soon."

"Yes, ma'am."

"And try to keep her out of Rosette's way for a while…"

"I will try, Sister Kate."

Sister Kate nodded her head and Chrono turned and hurried to catch up to Rosette.


"That Dumb Dora…why does Sister Kate have to be such a pill?"

Azmaria shrugged and poked a blade of grass and she and Rosette sat underneath a tree.

"She only had that girl's best interests at heart, Rosette. You should be glad that…what is her name?"

"Nicco…"

Rosette grumbled.

"…Nicco has a good place to stay and with someone she can trust in a way. I know that I was glad when I came here. I didn't have anybody."

Azmaria looked off to no where and Rosette stared at her thoughtfully.

'Maybe she's right. I shouldn't be hard on Nicco…but Chrono's a different story.'

Just as the thought had escaped her mind, Chrono came up to them, out of breath and red in the face.

"I was all over looking for you…"

"Well, I've been right here."

"Listen, Rosette. I'm sorry for earlier. I didn't mean to get you upset."

Rosette didn't answer and Chrono growled with frustration.

"Rosette…?"

"I just want to tell you Chrono that you'd better not be a naughty devil to Nicco…"

Chrono sweat dropped and he felt his throat start to close up.

"W-What m-makes you say that? I w-would never do s-such a thing, Rosette!"

Rosette smirked mischievously and laughed heinously. Azmaria just sat there and sighed.

"You're a bloody insane girl. I can't understand how someone would be able to work with you."

"WHAT!"

Rosette stopped laughing and jumped at Nicco, who seemed to have been leaning against the tree for a long time.

"I just can't see why a devil and a fellow Apostle can work with a git like you."

"Dry up! Why does all the international vamps have to be such bearcats?"

Nicco turned her back on Rosette and stood in silence. Chrono looked between the both of them and sighed.

'I hope they don't end up like Rosette and Satella. I can only take so much…'

"How did you know that I was an Apostle too?"

Nicco looked at Azmaria out of the corner of her eye.

"I can see the power around you like a glowing halo. I can sense your power as well. You have a lot of it."

Rosette looked at Azmaria and couldn't see anything.

"What are you talking about?"

"I can see it because Camaris trained me to see it. He said I need to find the other Apostles so we can rise up against Aion and…"

Chrono jerked at the sound of Aion's name. He looked at Nicco and narrowed his eyes.

"Camaris knows about Aion, but he's been in England all this time? How could he know?"

Nicco shrugged and tears sparkled in her eyes.

"He just told me a few things that I didn't understand. He said that Aion was trying to collect the Apostles to create something that would harm this world. He said he wants the power and to get it…he will do anything to have it. He wanted me to come her because somehow…he knew you were alive and had an idea of what was going on."

Azmaria looked at Nicco's hip and saw the flash of her gun.

"You have a gun! Wow!"

Nicco looked at her belt and smiled. She fingered the gun delicatley and a tear escaped down her cheek.

"Yeah. Camaris gave it you me before I left. H-He…"

She started to cry and Azmaria got up and put a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"Don't cry…it'll be alright…"

"No it won't! I need to see Camaris…I miss him so much."

Chrono was a little confused. He sensed intense love coming from Nicco and he had a feeling that she was in love with Camaris.

"Hey…I'll show you to the hall and you can get something to eat…okay?"

Nicco nodded and wiped her eyes. Chrono went over to her and placed a hand on her back. Rosette turned around and growled lowly.

Chrono walked away with Nicco and Rosette stomped on the ground.

"What's wrong, Rosette?"

Rosette turned quickly to Azmaria and her eyes were wide with anger.

"I can't believe him! He's being so nice to her…she obviously is putting on an act to catch him in a trap."

Azmaria smiled at her and sighed.

"Rosette…do you like Chrono?"

Rosette laughed sarcastically and started to cry.

"W-What makes you say that…!"

"I don't know. It just sounds like you're jealous…that's all."

Was she, Rosette, jealous of Nicco?
