"My Name is… Vincent Valentine…"

'So? Why are you dressing up as Chrno?'

the young lady in blue questioned her as she reached up and tugged at Vincent's face at a mask that was definitely not there.

"Who is Chrno… I don not know who you are speaking about…"

His crimson eyes frowned when she persisted, it was certain that the young lady was not used to being ordered. Growling ever so slightly, Vincent pushed her fingers away and glared at her, the sight of her flinching both brought him pain and a kind of relief at the same time. He did not want a fight so soon and to draw attention to him.

'Erm…I'm Chrno.'

The young boy he bumped into raised his hands and this time Vincent paid attention to him. The resemblance was striking except that he was perhaps a miniaturized version of him and that he had violet hair instead of his jet-black hair. This boy, Chrno, even had the same crimson eyes and wore a red cloak and a headband. The only other accessory missing was the spiked boots and his golden claw, Vincent was grateful that the boy even thou very much like him, did not have the golden claw that marked him as a monster.

-Hehe… Valentine… when have you been so intimate around woman?-

It's not me Chaos!

Cursing under his breath, Vincent didn't notice Rosette pointing her gun at him until he heard the familiar click of a fire-arm being readied.

'Tell me! Why?'

'Calm down Rosette! It's not like he's killing someone…'

'Shut up Chrno! He's a demon!'

Vincent nodded and Rosette smiled smugly as she walked closer to him, her hair blowing back as she did so.

"Yes…I am a demon… you… want to kill me?"

'Tell me first… did Aion send you?'

Tilting his head slightly, Vincent made it clear to her that he did not know who she was talking about but what Rosette didn't see was Vincent's hand sneaking into his cloak and gripping the familiar shape of the Death Penalty.

'See Rosette! Aion wouldn't sent someone like him?'

"Send someone like me?"

Vincent cleverly turned his voice to a slightly annoyed tone that made Chrno and Rosette frown a little but the 2 of them returned to their previous serious attitude that made Vincent wonder a little.

Is it just my imagination… or are they…

Shaking his head slightly Vincent turned from Rosette to Chrno and he whispered slowly to him.

"Then… why not take him… He is a demon as well…"

Seeing Rosette flinch was not part of Vincent's plan but he hid it well when it was obvious that his comment had struck her hard.

'How could you… Chrno is the most… he won't hurt humans if that's what you want!'

"and how sure are you that I won't?"

Vincent countered with a small smile on his face while Rosette stuttered again as she tried to come with a comeback.

He got me… why must he look so much like Chrno?

Beside Rosette, Chrno nervously edged away and he avoided Vincent's eyes even when it is directed at him. He felt weird, as thou this person… he had seen him before.

'Course… Course… HE is CHRNO DAMNIT!'

Hysterical, Rosette's aim went off and Vincent took the opportunity to dive under her gun-arm and quick as a flash he had his claw quivering over Chrno's neck.

'Rosette!'

'Chrno! Let him go you red-eyed freak!'

Vincent did not reply only dragged his claw over Chrno's neck, leaving bloody traces but Chrno did not even flinch even as he felt his blood trickled down his neck but his concerned eyes was staring at Rosette in front of him as she went hysterical, even her aim was off as she waved the gun at the 2 men.

"Why should I if I have a gun pointing at me."

Snarling, Rosette took a deep breath and growled at Vincent even as she lowered her gun.

'If I let you go… would you let him go as well?'

"Provided you do not shoot me… and I have some questions to ask you."

'No deal… I'm already being nice to you by not shooting your nasty head off.'

"Haha… My claw is faster than your bullet… do you dare try to beat me?"

'Rosette! Please… I want to talk to him… He's… not a normal demon!'

Vincent looked down at the small boy he was holding and back at the lady looking back at him with pain-stricken eyes. It was weird that such a small child would cause such grief to a lady of her caliber. Then Vincent temporally froze as he remembered that if that was Yuffie in the demon's arm he would be doing the same thing.

'B-But Chrno! Please… you… can't possibly trust him can you? He attacked us you know?'

"Pardon me… you're the one that pointed the gun at me…"

Vincent, with his eyes glowing red once again growled at Rosette who immediately recoiled from his stare.

'Eh! Chrno! Please… I don't trust him!'

and Rosette pointed a trembling finger at the dark-haired man before trying to grab Chrno from his grasp.

"Would you? Answer me!"

'Rosette! Please!'

glancing to Chrno and then back to Vincent, Rosette finally nodded and she dropped the gun which clattered on the floor, Vincent made sure to kick it away before letting Chrno go.

'Get away Chrno!'

diving for the gun, Rosette kicked out at Vincent and when feeling her kick connect, smiled grimly and swiped the gun from the floor. When she raised it again, She saw Vincent's Death Penalty aimed at her while Vincent's claw once again over Chrno's neck.

'Ah… Chrno!'

Without letting the gun down, Rosette stared at her smaller conrade while her eyes shot daggers at the Demon in front of her.

'Rosette… Release the seal…'

"Seal?"

Vincent's furrowed but as he inched his claw closer to the boy's neck, he noticed that the lady was obviously upset about this 'seal' matter.

'Chrno?'

'Yes Rosette?'

'Kill him.'

"What?"

Even before Vincent could react, the lady placed her hands on the pocketwatch the hung around her neck and a sudden burst of energy made Vincent cover his eyes as she collapsed against a wall.

"What have you done?"

it was then that Vincent notice the form beside him growing at a tremendous rate and as he backed off from it the boy's eyes glowed red and in that instant he knew that he was in trouble.

Chaos!

-Finally a FIGHT!-

Vincent fired rapidly at the dark form pursuing him and he was perturbed to find out that although his shots hit they barely registered against the form and it was even matching his fastest speed.

"Tsk… this might be a better fight than I had expected…"

mumbling under his breath, Vincent dived into a alley and leaped up onto a nearby window, all the while firing at the form chasing him. When he finally reached the roof, taking several leaps on window ledges, he finally found himself face to face with… himself?

"What! It can't be!"

It was certainly a very good look-alike but there was only 1 striking difference beside the golden claw, that he his ears were more pointy then usual and that his golden claw was replaced with a silver one.

'You must die… for wasting mine and Rosette's time.'

Roaring in rage, He slammed right into Vincent and with his momentum crashed through building after building, using Vincent as a battering ram for destroying the buildings.

"Rawr!"

Even with his body being slammed rapidly, Vincent mind remained clear with only occasional twitches of pain erupting through his mind as Chrno smashed through another building with him.

"You shall… NOT DEFEAT ME!"

roaring in rage, Vincent begun his transformation into Chaos and even Chrno's eyes widen in surprise as Vincent threw him off with his rapidly bulging arms.

"Demon… You Shall…"

As Chaos started his warning, he picked up another scent which immediately made him pay attention.

"Rr… We shall fight later… not now."

'What? No! We shall end this NOW!'

Chrno's eyes flashed and he lunged straight for the black demon, Chaos growled briefly before catching Chrno's punch and flinging him back.

"We do not have time for this… pleasures… SATAN SLAM!"

Slamming the ground in front of him, Chaos created a small tremor which caused the ground beneath Chrno to flatter and bits of rock tore against Chrno as the earth all around him howl as if in rage.

'ROSETTE!'

screaming her name, Chrno took to the air and delivered a mighty punch to Chaos which propelled the both of them off the destroyed roof.

'Chrno!'

Rosette, hurrying even with the pain tearing at her saw Chrno and Chaos topple down from the roof into a seemingly endless black beyond and she cried, cried his name as thou she never heard it before.

"CHRNO!"
