Chapter 5- The dangers of New York City

A.n: Thanks for all the kind reviews. I AM FOR SURE THAT SATELLA HAS A GERMAN ACCENT IN THE ANIME. I went back at watched it last night and she defiantly does. If people still want to comment that she doesn't then…that's your prerogative…I'm only writing what I hear and I hear a German accent. Okay…onto the story.

"Chrono, are you mad at me?"

"No, Rosette…"

Rosette was walking behind Chrono and Azmaria, Nicco and Satella walked behind her. Azmaria leaned into Nicco and Satella.

"I think that we need to do something else to make Rosette even more jealous. I know she has feelings for Chrono."

"But…vat can ve do? I don't tink that Rosette vould get jealous of me…"

"I don't know, but she's already shown jealousy of Nicco. I haven't told Chrono of what we're trying to do. I think he wouldn't agree with it."

"I think you're right, Azmaria, but…will they admit their feelings to each other and not to one of us?"

Azmaria shrugged as the three girls looked at the backs of their two victims.

"Personally, I do not vish to help that impossible girl."

Nicco nodded in agreement with Satella, but Azmaria sent death glares to them and they smiled nervously.

"I know you two don't really like Rosette…"

"It's not that we don't like her…we just think that she doesn't like us."

Azmaria shook her head.

"I think she likes you guys. She's just too much of a baby to admit it."

Chrono slowed down and got behind Rosette. He stopped and the three girls ran right into him. They all tumbled to the ground in a tangle mess and Rosette stopped and turned around.

"What's the problem?"

Chrono was coughing and he had a blush that was deep red on his face. Azmaria saw something in his eyes that she knew to be disbelief. She looked from Nicco to Satella and then back to Rosette. She stood up and brushed off her legs.

"I-…Uh…we didn't see Chrono stop. I guess we're just clumsy…Rosette…"

Rosette's eyebrow raised up and she gazed at Azmaria's innocent looking face. She sighed and turned back around and started to walk away again. Chrono kept coughing and he glared at Azmaria with anger.

"Azmaria…what…I can't believe what you're trying to do…!"

"How did you hear me from all the way up there?"

"I have good hearing Azmaria…after all…I am a devil…"

Azmaria laughed nervously and looked at Nicco and Satella. Chrono stood up and brushed off his shirt and pants. Rosette was way ahead of them now and Chrono sighed with weariness.

"Better catch up with her or she'll get to the crime scene before we do…"

The three girls nodded and ran after Chrono.


"How did this all happen, Mr. Caldwell?"

Rosette cheerily smiled at the officer that seemed to be in charge of the investigation. Chrono, Azmaria, Satella, and Nicco all were behind Rosette trying to catch their breath. Rosette ignored them and Mr. Caldwell watched them cursorily. The crime scene consisted of three people, all dead, and their life force seemed to have been drained from their bodies.

"Well, miss. This family was victim to a devil worshipper. Apparently, the father of the family was in debt to a private organization and he had been for many years. The father had received many threats…we found letters addressed to him in the bedroom and they all say that if he didn't finish his payment…then certain circumstances would occur, but I don't think the father could've expected being attacked by a devil and its master…"

"Its master?"

"Yeah…a few tenants of the building say that a man dressed in a white overcoat and had glasses with a big bird entered the building a little around seven this morning…"

Chrono gasped and bared his teeth.

"Aion…"

"What did you say, young man? Do you know who did this?"

Rosette got in front of Chrono and laughed nervously.

"Uh…he-he doesn't know anything. We will have to be going now. We have enough information…thanks for all your help."

Rosette pushed Chrono and the others away while the officer looked at the suspiciously as they walked away.

"What was Aion doing here and why did he kill this family?"

"I suspected he used their life force for something, but what?"

Rosette shrugged and her mind turned to Joshua. She couldn't help but think about him when Aion came up in a conversation. Was he in any pain? Did he want to see her as much as the devils had told her? Was he…still…suffering from the "noise"? Rosette closed her eyes and fought the tears that ensued to fall. Chrono noticed this and he put a comforting hand on her shoulder. She put her hand on his and the others backed away slowly.

Chrono knew what she was thinking about and it pained him to the core of his heart. Rosette sniffled a little and then looked back up with a smile on her face.

"Well don't just stand there staring at me…let's get a wiggle on and find out why Aion killed those innocent people…"

"…Rosette…what if…those people…weren't innocent…"

Rosette looked at Azmaria and shook her head.

"Why wouldn't they be?"

Azmaria shrugged and looked to the others for help. Satella was studying her nails and Nicco was staring at nothing. She seemed to be daydreaming…no…she seemed to be in a trance.

"Uh…Nicco…are you okay?"

The others looked at her and Nicco didn't answer. Her eyes were glazed over and she kind of swayed slightly. Rosette walked to her and waved a hand in her face. She didn't snap out of it. Rosette looked at Chrono and he shrugged.

"Nicco…what's wrong?"

Nicco held up a hand quickly and she stared to walk forward.

"You don't hear that?"

The others stayed silent and then shook their heads.

"No…it sounds like a city…"

"No…that…whistling noise. Azmaria, you don't hear it?"

Azmaria closed her eyes and listened, but she couldn't hear anything either.

"No…I don't."

Nicco seemed to snap back into reality and she looked a Rosette. Rosette noticed she was sweating.

"You don't look so good."

"I-I'm fine…really…just…really…tired…"

And with that, Nicco fainted and Chrono rushed to catch her. Chrono knocked into Rosette as he leapt at Nicco and Rosette fell onto the pavement. Chrono caught Nicco and Rosette was left on the ground rubbing her sore bum.

"Ow…thanks, Chrono!"

"Nicco! Nicco, are you alright?"

Rosette looked at them as Satella joined them. Azmaria ran over to Rosette and helped her to her feet.

"Are you okay, Rosette?"

Rosette nodded and looked sadly at Chrono. Chrono looked up at her and he realized his actions.

"I'm sorry, Rosette…"

"Don't worry about it…we need to get Nicco back to Headquarters..."
