Disclaimer: Chrno Crusade and its characters do not belong to me and they never will. If they did, I would change the ending!!

Thank you so much for all the reviews!!! I'm writing another fanfic, and it's for Spiral and no one reviewed, so I was so sad. And then with this story I get 6 reviews in less than a day!! So I'm pretty happy about that. I'm typing pretty fast (or so I like to think) so the next chapter should come out, pretty quick. Just check my bio for the progress on chapters.

NightElfCrawler: Glad to have caught your attention. Yea the ending did suck, so that why I'm rewriting it... or it is continuing it? Hmm not to sure! Oh yea and you're my 1st reviewer, so thanx!!!

just a reader: yea when I said that Aion come back 50 years later, I took that from the ending of the anime. Theres prob going to be spoilers, so I hope that your not the kind that hates spoilers! And thanx 4 the encouragement!

Chrnocatfleas aka Akuma: don't worry I will.

Rosette Christopher: thanx 4 the congrats

Evilanimeblond22: aww thanx, and I look forward to hearing from you in the future!

Ruby-dream: your rite, I read the manga ending and watched the anime endings and their both so painful the read and watch! So this (for me) makes up for it. :)
The year is 2044, over a hundred years since her death. With an evil threatening to reoccur for the third time, the world may have no choice but to call forth her power, and reunite her with what killed her, in hopes that she may bring about the salvation of the world. Chrno x Rosette, Joshua x Az

I've always felt that something was missing in my life. There was just some aspect that was missing. I lead a pretty good life. I live with my brother, who's a year younger than me, in an okay sized apartment. Were orphans, but it's never really bothered me all that much. It's like I've been used to it. But that's pretty strange, considering the fact that I've only been one for about four years now. That's not very long if you compare that to my age. I'm only sixteen. So that's about... um... what 25% of my life? I've never been that good at math. Joshua is the wiz of the family, or should I say of the two of us.

That's just the blood family, though. Yuan could be considered family. He's like a long lost uncle that Yuan Remington. He's a pretty cool guy. Like for example when he became our guardian he let us change our first names, so that we could 'have a fresh start on life'. He wouldn't let us change our last name, Christopher, which kind of defeats the purpose. But I'm so glad that he let us change our first names. My parents were crazy to call me Betty. Betty Christopher. What a stupid name. At least Joshua didn't get such a bad name. I think that our parents had smartened up enough to pick out a better name like Kevin. But Kevin Christopher still didn't suit him all that much.

It's a little inside joke in between us three to what we changed our names to. Yuan kept calling us, by accident, Rosette and Joshua. He said that we reminded him of kids he used to know, that had those names. So when he let us change our name, that's what we changed them too, Rosette and Joshua. Way cooler than Betty and Kevin. Yuan didn't mind one bit, he said that we were destined to have those names. We moved too, so everyone wouldn't have to relearn out names.

Yuan even has a good job, none of those boring office jobs, where you sit down and work all day. He's a private exorcist. And he's taught me and Joshua 'the skills of his field'. I like it. Sometimes, when we don't have too much homework we go out and help him. Or if it's a really hard job, then I don't give a damn about my homework and go with him anyways. School can be such a pain sometimes. I'm in grade eleven and I don't plan on going to a university, in fact I would have dropped out already if Yuan hadn't forbidden it. I'll just work with him; he can certainly use all the help he can get.

But like I was saying I've always felt that something had been missing in my life. I just couldn't get rid of that nagging feeling. I had to find out what it was. So my best bet was to talk to Yuan about it, maybe he could answer my questions.
DECEMBER 10TH, 2044. NEW YORK, NEW YORK.

Rosette sat across from Yuan at the table. Joshua was in his room doing some homework. She glanced up, somewhat nervously, her fingers fiddling with the full cup of hot chocolate in front of her.

"You should drink up Rosette, while it's still warm." Yuan warned, "December should be cold enough to warrant a hot chocolate." He gave her a warm smile.

"Ano, Yuan, I want to talk to you about something." Rosette started. She glanced quickly up at Yuan, who nodded at her to continue. "I've been feeling... like something is missing. Some part of my life. A big part of my life..." Rosette trailed off.

Yuan looked at her. Her body posture showed that she was nervous and unsure of herself, which was quite rare for Rosette. The headstrong blond teenager, was usually very head strong and had lots of self confidence. He had a suspicion about what it was. But he was willing to wait to hear all that she had to say before jumping to conclusions.

"It's like I'll be doing something and then I'll turn to say something to this person, except that their not there. And then I'll feel this empty ache inside of me. At first, it didn't happen too much, but then it became more frequent. It started about four years ago. That's when Mom and Dad died so I don't know if I'm starting to miss my parents or something. Not that I'm saying that you're a bad guardian." She finished quickly

Yuan nodded acceptingly, "No I don't quite think that you are missing your parents." Four years ago she was at the age when she met Chrno, "Continue"

"Ya, well I was thinking that too. I've also been having these dreams. I'm standing somewhere, in a felid, a build, or sometimes just nowhere and there's this person running towards me. Sometimes it's a boy dressed in bright red. Sometimes it's a man dressed in this really old style western clothes. Other times it's this demon with bat wings and kind of looks like a human. But usually it's a man that looks like he's in his early twenties, and he'd dressed in all black. They all have one thing in common; they have really long braided purple hair and crimson eyes."

Yuan knew what Rosette was missing. She was missing Chrno, her demon counterpart. He had expected this to happen for sometime now. Both Rosette and Joshua had been exhibiting similar traits to their look-alikes that had lived over 100 years ago. Joshua's illness and healing powers, Rosette's skill with a gun... He was actually quite surprised that she hadn't mentioned anything earlier. But then he shouldn't have been. Most girls her age were going into and out of relationships at a pace that would have been seen as scandalous years. So this would have distracted her a bit.

However for all his waiting, Yuan had no idea how to tell Rosette that she was feeling the lingering of a love so strong that it has lasted over a hundred years and through her death, when she hadn't even had a boyfriend.

"Usually he's just running," Rosette continued, "towards me. And I'm calling him, I want so badly for him to reach me, I don't even know why! But he never does. He goes on running for hours. I call to him for hours and I don't even know who he is." She trailed off, her eyes dropping to the table.

Yuan looked at her with sad eyes. Her heart recognized him, but her mind was questioning his appearance.

"But last night was different." Rosette looked straight at him, reading the sadness in his eyes and sending back a questioning gaze of her own. "He reached me. I smiled at him and then he disappeared."

Yuan gave her a calculating glance. "How did you feel when he caught up to you?"

"I felt happy. It was like I was whole." Rosette replied.

Yuan rubbed his temples with both of his hands. He had no clue what to tell her. He just couldn't say that she lived over a hundred years ago, lost her brother, fell in love with a demon, disappeared, and then died. Not only would that scare her, she would think that he was crazy.

"I have some type of idea of what you are missing." He started. "Buts it's not in my place to tell you what."

"WHAT?!" Rosette shouted. She jumped up from the table and slammed her hands down. Gone was the unsure teen of thirty seconds ago and in its place was a angry one. "You can't just tell me, that you know what I'm missing and then say that 'it's not in my place to tell you what.' She mimicked in a low voice. "That's a bunch of bullshi-"

"Language." Yuan warned the spazing teen.

Rosette continued as if she had never heard him, "I've been having these dreams and feeling for over four years! And you have the nerve to tell me..."

Yuan let Rosette's voice go out of focus. From past experiences, he knew that she could go on for hours. All that he would have to watch out for was her body language, if she was about to punch him, then he has better get out of her way fast. The young blond might have not been that tall, but she certainly could pack a punch. That and shoot a gun, speaking of which, did he leave any guns around in the open where she could easily get to them?

Yuan's train of thought was interrupted as Joshua, attracted by Rosette's shouting, had wandered into the kitchen or the apartment and was starting at them with a half dazed look. He had probably just woken up from a nap.

"Ano, what's going on?" He inquired quietly.

His only reply was an amused smile and raised eyebrows from Yuan, and Rosette probably didn't even know that he was here. She was still shouting at Yuan and was getting a bit red in the face. Joshua wondered when was the last time that she had taken a breath, probably a couple paragraphs ago, judging by how red she was getting. What was she shouting about anyways?

"Hey, Nee-san... You should breath." But his suggestion was unheard by his blond sister, who was still shouting and getting even redder.

Oh well, there was nothing he could do about it. The best thing he could do right now was go back to sleep and hope that she would calm down and breathe before she fainted. He would find out why she was screaming later. And what had he been doing before he fell asleep? Oh yea, homework. It was boring; no wonder he had fallen asleep. Just because he was smart, didn't mean that he had to like homework.

And thinking these thoughts, Joshua exited the room, intent on getting more sleep.

Yuan had gone back to looking out for guns when Joshua has left, but both his search and Rosette's shouting were interrupted by the phone ringing. Yuan walked over and picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

Rosette watched him as he talked to the person on the other side of the line. It was obviously a business call, meaning that he would be gone in around five minutes to take care of a demon, and or a demon worshipper, you usually found the two together. Hopefully she would be gone with him, once again escaping the responsibility of doing homework, if only for a time being.

Yuan put the phone down and looked at her, "Ready to go on a job?"

Rosette didn't even think of her answer, "Hell ya!"

It was only when they were walking out the door, laden with guns, holy water, scareds, gospels, and some other equipment that Rosette took note of her white long-sleeve blouse, mid-thigh length maroon kilt, and navy blue knee socks.

"Mou, Yuan," She said, "I'm still in my uniform!"
-End Ch.1-

Wells that's it for chapter one ppl! Hope that you liked it!

I called Remington by his first name, Yuan, for a couple reasons. One was that if Rosette and Joshua had been living with him for four years and had known him before that, then they must be pretty familiar with him and thus call him by his first name. The second one, was that obviously Yuan is way shorter then Remington, and easier to spell too!!

Oh and if you've noticed Rosette swears a little bit. Well since she wasn't a nun this time around, then she would be swearing right?

Oh and almost forgot! Here's a little preview of the next chapter:

Long purple braided hair, crimson eyes, "You're the guy from my dream!" Rosette shouted.

Chrno gave a small gasp, he knew that voice. Turning he looked at her, eyes filling with longing and recognition, "Rosette!"

Well thats the little preview of either the next chapter or the one after that, haven't decided yet.

Don't forget to review on your way out!
