Chrono Crusade Chapter 3: The Cure

Rosette was sitting in the chair next to Chrono's bed, almost falling asleep. Chrono opened his eyes slowly and Rosette smiled. "Chrono! How are you?" She asked. He smiled weakly.
"Better than before, I think... Azmaria helped me a little," Chrono said, barely able to talk. Rosette started crying.
"I'm sorry, if I were stronger I'd be able to help you," she said. Chrono smiled again.
"It's okay, it's not your fault," he said. Rosette wiped away her tears. "I know, but I feel so helpless. I want to do something for you," Rosette said, almost crying again. Chrono sat up and winced hard, but leaned forward. He took Rosette's chin gently in his hand and leaned in until their lips touched. Rosette's eyes widened and then closed. After a minute Chrono backed away and sank back down, wincing. Rosette smiled.
"You smiling is what you can do for me," he said. Rosette had tears in her eyes again but wiped them away before they fell. Ewan came in.
"How's Chrono doing?" He asked. Chrono had fallen asleep again. Rosette smiled.
"I think he's doing better," she replied. Ewan smiled. "I thought you didn't like Chrono, why are you worried about him?" Rosette asked.
"It's not him I'm worried about, it's you. You've been up all night for the past three days just watching him, and there's the cure..." he stopped.
"The cure? What is it?" Rosette asked.
"I think I said too much, I'm going to leave now." Ewan turned to leave and Rosette got up and jumped onto his back, with an angry face.
"You better tell me what the cure is, or I'll kill you," she said, strangling him. He started to gag.
"Okay okay! I'll tell you," he said. Rosette slid down and let go of him. Remington sighed as he turned to Rosette. "It's you, you have to go into Chrono's mind and find whatever's posessing him, and kill it," he said. Rosette frowned. "That's not going to be easy," she said. She stood over Chrono.
"Wait! You can't do it without training on someone first! You can... use me to try it out on," Ewan said, blushing a little.
"Really?" Rosette asked, turning bright red.
"Sure, there will be nothing posessing me though, so you have to be careful when you go into Chrono's mind," Ewan said, sighing. "I'll be careful. How do I get into someone's mind though?" Rosette asked. Ewan took her left hand and put it on his left temple. Rosette grew bright red again. "Now, think, concentrate on what you are trying to find, any memories, anything you can get ahold of, and when you are in Chrono's mind, fight it," Ewan said. Both he and Rosette closed their eyes. Rosette floated in an emptiness that she's never felt or seen before. She then saw Ewan, younger, standing in front of a grave. The grave was by itself, in the darkness. Ewan was crying, and Rosette floated over to him. She tried to put a hand on his shoulder, but it went right through him.
"Mother... I miss you so much," the younger Ewan said. Rosette almost started crying. Her head started pounding. Rosette tried to concentrate but her heart almost stopped, so she let go of Ewan's mind. She fell back and Ewan caught her with his right arm. "Thank you, that was powerful," she said, breathing hard. "That is why you have to be careful, especially with Chrono, since he is a devil. Plus that aura is dangerous, as Azmaria said," Ewan said. "You can leave now while I try it on Chrono," Rosette said.
"Are you sure?" Ewan asked. Rosette nodded. Ewan left and Rosette put her left hand on Chrono's temple. She sat on the bed next to him. "Forgive me for entering your mind, but I have to in order to free you from whatever is haunting you," Rosette said.
