" Chrno…" Rosette muttered lowly, tearing her eyes off the demon's red hood to his violet eyes, which were filled with desperation and concern. Chrno wanted to disagree against the mental phrases forming in Rosette's head, but only managed to shake his head and stand. Rosette's feature's saddened, lowering her own eyes to her lap. A moment passed between the two confused figures. "Rosette, you are the best friend I have ever had. I don't want to lose that. I'm very sorry…"

Chrno pronounced carefully, slurring each sentence slightly, unsure about how his words would appeal to his companion. Rosette's heart lurched as she devoured Chrno's words, eyes shaking with happiness. " Come my Rosette, we can't stay in this room forever, the darkness does bring out a cheerful soul for a being. Let's go to…wherever, as long as you are next to me alright?" Chrno's said, determinedly reaching out his hand to Rosette, a fanged smile curled upon his lips.

Rosette could not take it anymore. Firmly clasping Chrno's outstretched offer, she climbed to her feet and embraced the demon. Taken aback, yet filled with pure warmth that traveled throughout his body, Chrno returned the hug by completing any possible space between the two. "You…" Rosette whispered, but didn't feel that she needed to go any further. Chrno understand, tightening his grip around the exorcist.

The connection only a night ago could never be broken. The words of true devotion were said, even though they might not mean the complete message; the embrace that night was no wrong; it was out of pure friendship. Breaking away once again, the two lost themselves in each other's gaze. All of a sudden came a loud bang. "Chrno, YOU MUST HURRY! A demon is attacking Chicago, Sister Kate is in a fury!"

Both figures jumped in Chrno's room, serving both of them nearly a heart attack. Wiping the sweat particles forming on the forehead, Chrno hurriedly moved toward the door, dragging a worried Rosette behind him. " Oh, one more thing Chrno. Have you by any chance seen Rosette? This is very important as you might have noticed." Chrno paused before curling his fingers on the brass door, flashing a brief glance over his shoulder. Clearing her throat slightly, Rosette called out hoarsely, "I'm right here with Chrno."

A quick silence and a mumble under the breath was heard outside the room. The nun started to stutter rapidly, Chrno feeling her blush radiating through the door. " I'm sorry that I disturbed you! P, please forgive m, me! I'll be on…my way! Yes that's it! At those words, the poor girl hurried down the opposite hall, stumbling on her outfit. "It's not what you think!" Chrno and Rosette shouted at the same time, looking at each other in surprise. Finally passing the first obstacle, both rushed to Eric's sleeping quarters, hoping not to be stopped with questioning.

"He left twenty minutes ago, I notified him personally! Now you two get going now, or someone is going to get hurt in this hall!" Sister Kate snapped shrilly, twirling her long navy garments and almost jogged back to her office, attending more people to the disasters of the sleepless night.

Rosette wanted to shout back, but Chrno's palm reached to her mouth before she could say the words out loud. "Why did he leave before us?" Rosette's sentence died in her throat shoulders slumped. "Rosette, we need to hurry! NO time to settle things with Sister Kate!" Chrno said urgently, moving away his hand. Rosette's eyes scanned for the exit out of the mansion; she sighed. "I'll drive?" the teen asked, fire of determination glowing in her eyes. Swallowing the lump of fear, Chrno nodded weakly. "Sure, why not?"

Swerving on the road in the already beaten Ford, Rosette had her hands firmly on the tattered wheel, pressing her right foot firmly on the gas. Chrno, who was sitting in the seat next to Rosette's was jumping wildly in his seat, banging his head on the ceiling of the car. " Rosette, did you by any chance skip the driving courses! You're awful at this skill!" Chrno whined in his place, sneering (if that was possible in his position) at Rosette. The girl kept her eyes on the road. Chrno coughed sharply, realizing the truth.

"You cough did?" Chrno gasped in between words. Taking one hand off the wheel, Rosette banged with her fist madly on Chrno's back." Yes…I…did!" Rosette yelled, mouthing a 'sorry' to a passing driver into whose truck she almost crashed into. "Uh…Rosette…you didn't have to hit that hard…" Chrno whispered, tears forming from the harsh forces applied to his poor back. "Well sorry, you want me to take both hands off the wheel and beat you with them?" Rosette snapped angrily, throwing a dirty look at Chrno. "Oh please no!" Chrno answered quickly, hugging his knees his chest, muttering a short prayer under his breath.

"Chrno?" Rosette said seriously, pushing on the breaks really hard, which action sent Chrno's face against his window's glass. Groaning, the demon asked," What Rosette, we are here?" "Oh yes we are Chrno, but I'm not sure what city we came to…it's horrible…" Peeling his face off the transparent object, Chrno glanced to where Rosette was staring. "Oh no…" Chrno gasped, taking a sharp intake.
