Chapter 3

Rosette and Chrono slowly made their way back into the school. It was around 2 a.m. now, the sky was black and the few stars being the only source of light. Rosette gulped as she opened as she opened the door to the building, stepping in quietly, Chrono close behind. A bright light was flashed on Rosette as a figured approached . Rosette froze, unable to see a thing. Chrono however, sweat dropped and slowly backed away behind Rosette.

"Sister Rosette!"

Rosette shivered as she noticed who it was

"S-Sister Kate…" she said lowly, bringing her hands up in front of her in a protective manner.

"Why are you here so late! Don't tell me you didn't succeed again on the mission…"

Rosette's face turned serious. Why was she never trusted.

"No, we succeeded…"

"Why was it so hard for you to get rid of one demon!" interrupted Sister Kate who was now screaming. At times like this and at this time in the morning, she wasn't the most amiable person. Rosette looked down and Chrono stepped forwards.

"It wasn't one..-"

"I was not talking to y-"

"Aion was involved…" commented Rosette with hesitation as she said the name.

Sister Kate fell silent, obviously realizing why they took so long. Aion was no joke. However, it was not in her nature to be 'too' nice to Rosette anyway. It seemed like this time she might have gone a bit too far. She knew that this subject was not liked.

"Very well…" there was a pause " you may go. I want a full report on the mission tomorrow." she said as she walked passed them. Once she was out of sight, both Rosette and Chrono sighed and began walking towards Rosette's room. They stopped in front of the room and Rosette stopped and looked at Chrono with a smile.

"Thank you for today"

"…it's nothing to thank me for." was his reply…his everyday reply. Rosette smiled and hugged him and with the usual "Good night" she entered her room. Chrono remained standing, looking at the door in front of him. He began walking outside towards Elder's house. He was to watch over him tonight.

The next morning was greeted with some people playing and screaming around. Some young kids were playing tag. A poke woke Chrono up. He opened one eye and yawned as he tried to wake up. When his vision was finally cleared up, a pair of huge eyeballs stared back at him.

"Ahh!" Chrono eeped and tried to back away from whatever was staring at him.

"Chrono" the person replied.

Chrono looked at him for a bit and finally became aware of who it was. A medium sized white haired man stood in front of him, his huge eye glasses covering most of his wrinkles.

"E-Elder! O-Ohayou" Chrono said

"Yes, hello boy, I heard you did good yesterday"

"What?"

"Tell me, what happened?"

Chrono looked at him, a bit confused.

"Nothing…"

"I heard Rosette's gun didn't work"

"Oh!" Chrono took out the gun from his pocket. "Here…" he said as he handed it to Elder.

The older man examined the gun before inviting Chrono inside his house.

"Can you see what's wrong with it?"

Elder inspected the gun closely.

"There's nothing wrong with it"

Chrono looked at him confused as he saw Elder aim the gun at the wall opposite to theirs.

Rosette turned over on her bed when a bothersome light reached her eyes. A sudden gun fire was heard causing her to open her eyes slightly, yawned, and went back to sleep.

Chrono's eyes were wide with shock as he looked at the hole that was now on the wall opposite to them.

"See?" asked Elder with a smirk "it was works just fine."

"Then…?"

"It seems there was some kind of spell on it that forced it to remain locked and be unable to shoot"

There was a pause, then Elder continued, his face, serious.

"Tell me Chrono, what happened between you and that demon? Where you able to sense anything?"

Chrono tensed, remembering the conversation they had had.

"Nothing in particular…" he said simply.

Before Elder could say anything else, the door slammed opened and a very peeved Rosette entered with her PJ's still on.

"What the hell was that!" she screamed.

Both Chrono and Elder remained silent. Rosette noticed her gun on Elder's hand and the hole in the wall.

"NANI!" she screamed, moving to grab the gun. "It was working all along!"

Elder grinned. "Rosette, nice outfit you picked today…lovely"

Rosette turned to him "Urusai, you old pervert!"

Chrono watched the two of them argue until he felt a gentle tap on his shoulder and a quiet voice.

"Chrono, I need to talk to you… follow me" the voice said as the figure turned to exit the house. Chrono turned slowly and looked at the person.

"…Remington?"
