Lina: Next chapter here!

Chrono: Finally, slacker!

Lina: Excuse me for having a life. Heh. Okay, here it is!

Chrono Crusade: The Fight Part 5

Chrono woke up still on the couch. Rosette had her head in his lap, blanket over her. He smiled. It seemed like forever since he was really happy. He wished he could stay like this forever, petting Rosette's soft, blonde hair. She blinked her eyes open and sat up.

"I'm sorry, did I wake you?" Chrono asked. Rosette shook her head, rubbing her eyes.

"No... did you get any sleep?" She asked. Chrono nodded.

"Just a little. I've had something on my mind for the past few days. And especially with Aion showing up last night..." Chrono stopped as he saw Rosette shivering. "I'm sorry," he said.

"No, it's not your fault. We need to find some way of defeating him. Otherwise Joshua... Joshua will never be able to come back," she said, softly.

"Can I go back in your closet? It really helped the last time, I mean, even though it was only for a little while," Chrono said, blushing. Rosette turned bright red.

"Um... sure, I guess," Rosette stuttered. They both got up and went to Rosette's room. Chrono got in first, and then Rosette. Her outfits were pushed to the side, so that the two could move easily. (Yes, I am in a dirty mood right now. Hehe.) "So..." Rosette started.

"I think... I want to do something," Chrono said.

"This can't be happening! Why is Chrono in my closet with me? Isn't he supposed to be depressed?" Rosette thought, backing up a little. Chrono put a hand on her face and pulled her forward, so far forward so that their lips touched. Rosette's eyes widened, but then she let herself sink down a bit.

"Magdelene..." Chrono thought. Tears formed in his eyes but did not fall. He wiped them away before Rosette could see them. Rosette pulled back and fell backwards. The closet opened and Az was standing in the doorway. Again she had caught them.

"I'm... I'm sorry!" Az yelped and ran out. Rosette and Chrono were beaming.

"What... what just happened?" Rosette asked, even though she knew the answer.

"I'm sorry... I'm bringing you into this. I wanted... I wanted to say goodbye properly," Chrono said, almost tearing up again. Rosette stood up and helped him out of the closet.

"Goodbye? What does that mean?" Rosette asked, bewildered.

"I'm leaving to fight Aion alone. And I'll bring Joshua back to you," he stated.

Lina: Yes! This is where this chapter ends, I know you're probably hating me now, but that's all I can come up with.

Chrono: She's a little sick.

Lina: Just a little. Don't worry! I'll be back to my normal evil self in no time!
