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

Sorry that this came out a bit late (I put when I'm going to post the next chapter and how much of the chapter is done on my bio) but I had a hard time writing this chapter. When I get an idea I write it, it might be for three chapters ahead, or the chapter that I'm working on now, and I really couldn't get that many ideas for this chapter. But I do have a really nice fluffy seen with Chrno and Rosette later on that comes out in umm... I don't know at least five more chapters? But I do have a lot of the next chapter already written so it won't take so long to come out. And I'm sorry if it wasn't the reunion that you guys were expecting. They might be a little out of character here, but I'm trying to keep them in character as much as possible. Well except for Chrno, because after all those years, he's probably going to be a little possessive about Rosette, which would make his personality not as passive as it was in the anime and manga.

NightElfCrawler: I'm working on the length, aren't the chapters getting longer? see! See! Points finger at screen lol. ;) what can I say? I just luv torturing my readers. Heh And you're my 1st reviewer again! Thanx!

Rosette Christopher: glad to hear from you again and here's the little reunion! (well at least part of it) lol

Evilanimeblond22: glad that you like it so much! And yup there's definitely going to be some fluff and romance, but I don't know how good I'm at that. But I'll try! hehe

just a reader: I'll put in some of their daily life in just for you, some in this chapter and more in future ones, but it's going to be daily life with Chrno in it! (And if that's not chaotic enough, daily life for them must be pretty chaotic anyways, nee?) I didn't know that Magdelena had dreams about Chrno... oh wait I did! slaps self on head, but I didn't think about that when I was writing this. Hmmm. Food for thought. Honestly I have no idea why Remington has a Chinese first name and a European last name, maybe its because he has demon implants. Haven't you noticed that all the humans have European names, and all the demons have Chinese/Japanese names? Hmmm, maybe that's why, weird... oh well.

Ruby-dream: here your update! And so glad that someone is glad that Rosette is alive. Wait... that didn't make any sense, aren't we all glad that she's alive again? Oh well, stupid me!

Star Sage: Well, my last chapter may have been a little rushed, but I wrote it all in one night! What can I say? Your right about it sounding like a chat log, I don't want to go that far, but each character has certain speech pattern's right? So since I made Rosette into a sort of modern teenager (with a trigger happy finger, jks!) she's going to be using some informal speech. But thanks for the warning. Hehe and thanks for the review for the 1st chapter. I didn't want his thoughts to be corny and I'm so glad that you thought that they weren't.

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

Rosette slunk lower in her seat, and blew her bangs out of her eyes in frustration. She thought that the job might have been a challenge, or at least she could shoot at something. Not that saying she was a gun-crazy- maniac, but she had been dragged out here for nothing!

Okay, maybe not dragged, in fact she had jumped at the idea of going out, but that didn't matter. When they got to the place where the demon worshipper was supposed to be, there was nothing. Sure there was a shrine and these gross looking skulls, but other than that, it was empty. No demon worshipper, no human sacrifices, or any sacrifices of any sort. Maybe the guy had chicken out at the last second, and decided not to summon a demon. Or it could have been a false alarm, an over-paranoid person calling in and making things up.

Huffing again, Rosette slunk even lower, so that she could barely see out of the window of the car. It was so unfair!

"Rosette," Yuan's voice interrupted her mental 'thinking', "Do you mind if I stop by the Archives for a little bit? I want to check something out."

"How long will it take?" Rosette asked absently, tilting her head up to see out of the window better in her slouched state. "I still have homework."

"Not long."

Not that it really mattered how long it took, both of them knew that Rosette would go to any lengths to avoid doing her homework and then panic that it wasn't done and end up staying up really late, or waking up early to complete it.

"Kay." She responded.

The archives were situated around Central Park (1), it used to be a Magdelena Montessori, but after that closed down during the Second World War, and it was turned into the Archives. The Archives was a place where people could go to get information on demons, the types, which ones were the most dangerous, past attacks, where registered demons were currently living. Normally people involved in the exorcism business or people that worked with the government to manage registered demons or very rarely the odd demon that came look up information were the only ones that came to the old buildings.

As they turned up the long driveway that led into the parking lot, Rosette studied the buildings, which had to be over a hundred years old. She always felt at peace here, maybe it had something to do with the fact that it used to be a house of God.

"Meet me out here in about forty-five minutes, okay?" Yuan said. He looked at the young blond beside him that seemed lost in her own thoughts. "Did you even hear me?"

"Ya, ya, forty-five minutes, got it." Rosette responded, with a careless wave of her hand as she wandered off towards an old beaten down cottage.

"Don't get lost." He said.

"Have I ever?" She responded, slightly turning her head, so that he could see her sapphire eyes.

Yuan turned his back to her and started walking towards the main part of the buildings. No she had never gotten lost, he hardly had to tell her where everything was when he first took her here, four years ago. He had been the one, in both of her lifetimes to show her the Montessori. It was quite ironic. They were even back here to search for someone. Not her brother this time and Rosette was completely unaware of their reason for coming, but he had to find an old friend.

I'm doing this for you Rosette, he thought as he entered the buildings where he had spent the early years of his life in, well, actually for the both of you.

Rosette stopped outside of the beaten down cottage that was set away from all the other buildings. This was her favorite place to go to, when she visited the archives. She had always had a sense of familiarity when she was around the old cottage.

It used to be a place where weapons were built to use against demons. Rosette closed her eyes and could just imagine how it was like a hundred years ago, being a nun that hunted down demons that terrorized the citizens of New York City. Racing around in the rain, with guns in both hands, crashing cars against buildings...

Oi where had that come from? Suppressing a sigh that had threatened to come out at that thought she opened the door and stepped into the building. Now the old cottage was used to house the history of the Montessori turned Archives and some of the history on the nun's and ministers that used to inhabit the place.

Rosette walked over to the cabinets that held the history of the Montessori. Pulling out a paper she began to read out loud. "The New York branch of the Magdelena Order was founded in 1904 by Sister Alys. It closed in 1947 due to the lack of people residing in it. Many of the nuns and ministers were called out to other branches across the United States of America during this chaotic era. The last Head Nun, Sister Azamaria Hendrick, decided to turn the Order into the archives that we know today, along with the help of the former Head Nun, Sister Kate. Their reason for doing so was so that others would have a place to go to when no one else could answer their questions."

Rosette put the paper away; she had read it all before. The only thing that had interested her when she first read it was the concept of registered demons. They were demons who lived among humans in peace. The government knew where they lived and checked up on them from time to time. She would really like to meet a registered demon one day. She had mentioned this to Yuan and he said that she would most likely meet a demon that would help them in their business.

The idea was pretty interesting in itself, demons fighting other demons. Speaking of which, that reminded her, Yuan had told her were she could find a file on a nun whose partner was a demon. She hadn't gotten the name from him; he said that he forgot which was quite unlikely since he hardly forgot anything. He was probably just too lazy to answer.

She dug a wrinkled piece of paper out of the inside pocket her school kilt.

C-R16

Rosette wound her way through the cabinets, looking for section C. Here it was, right now look for R16, just her luck that it had to be on one of the top shelves. Standing on her tip-toes Rosette grabbed the file and ending up tripping and crashing down on the floor.

She looked at the file; it was so old that she couldn't make out the name of the sister. She flipped open the folder and started to read the faded script on the first page outloud.

"Recorded by Sister Azamaria. In memory of an inseparable duo who conquered amazing odds together. May you be as happy in death as you were in life. Geez, sounds depressing." Rosette murmered.

She lifted her head to look outside a nearby and window and saw the sun setting.

"Hey that's pretty beautiful." She didn't see the sunset everyday, usually she was too busy. Rosette returned her attention to the file, only the snap her head up again and look at the on coming darkness.

"Crap! How long have I been here?" She cast a hurried look at her watch. "Shit! Ten minutes late!"

Rosette grabbed the file and ran out the door to the parking lot where Yuan was leaning sitting in the car waiting for her.

"Got lost?" He asked with a smirk, as Rosette slid into the seat beside him. "Aww shut up. Lost track of time."

She responded. "I found that file you were telling me about. Read the dedication note in the front and it sounds pretty depressing."

"Well she did die young; she wasn't that much older than you."

"What about her partner?"

"Aren't you going to read about them?"

"I still have homework to finish, so can't you just tell me now?"

"Don't know too much about it, but after she died he disappeared. Probably too heartbroken to bear it."

"A human-demon relationship?" Rosette said surprised. "Must have shocked a lot of people back then."

"It did." Yuan replied, remembering the thoughts he had at first of the odd pairing.

"If she had lived, wouldn't he have out lived her?"

"Yeah."

"Then was it so bad that she died young? Better for her to die before they got too attached to each other."

Yuan was quiet; did the Rosette of a hundred years ago sometimes think that?

"Or unless they already loved each other a lot, so then they would have wanted to make the best of the time that they had." Rosette continued when he didn't answer.

He smiled; no she didn't think that, over a hundred years had done nothing to change her views.

"Such a tragic love." She murmured.

"Do you know who wrote the file?" He asked.

"Ya, the last Head Nun, Azamaria Hendrick."

"Thought so."

"Why?" Rosette inquired.

"Just a feeling." Yuan said.

"Were back, now you better get a start on your homework, it's already seven."

"Joshua has probably already made dinner, so I'll grab some and go to my room."

And the two of them got out of the car and made their way into the thirty- story building that they lived in.

The next morning was chaos in the (A/N: help please!! What would you call this, Christopher? Remington? Exorsist? 3 blonds? Hey never realized that all 3 were blonds, back 2 the topic! Help me!!! I'm not actually going to go back to this chapter and change it because I'm too lazy, but I'll use it in future chapters and you get credit if you come up with a good name too!! Well for now, I'll call it the umm...) household of Yuan, Rosette and Joshua.

Rosette, who had woken up late as usual, was now flying around the apartment in her school uniform packing her bag and making her lunch. Joshua was doing the same thing, but at a much slower pace and Yuan was sipping his coffee at the table.

"Where's my math book!" Rosette cried, "Wait found it!"

"Stupid that's not yours!" Joshua said, pulling the text out of her hands, "That's mine!"

"Ahhh! Then where's mine! Here it is! Oh wait that's English."

"Found it for you." Joshua said.

"Thanks! Hey Yuan can't we just skip school today?"

"No." Came his firm reply as he took another sip of his coffee.

"Aww, why not?" Rosette whined, "You never let us-"

"Have you had breakfast yet?" Yuan asked.

"No but-" Rosette was cut short again as a piece of toast was found sticking out of her mouth.

Three feet away Yuan's hand was still outstretched from when he threw it.

"Everyone ready to go? Good." And he walked out the door without a reply from either of the siblings.

Rosette and Joshua looked at each other with half opened bags (Rosette) and half opened mouths (Joshua).

"YUAN!!! WAIT!!!" Both siblings called after their ride to school and ran out the door after him. And thus started another day in the ordinary lives of Rosette, Yuan and Joshua.

Rosette glared at Joshua, who was weaving in and out of the crowd of people, on his skateboard. Normally she would have been beside him on her rollerblades, but she accidentally dropped her schoolbag on it, which caused one of the wheels or the overly used rollers blades to fall off. If that wasn't a prime example of the abusive amount of homework that schools gave out, then she didn't know what was.

So now here she was, jogging behind her ever-so-relax brother on his skateboard. They had left the apartment to go get dinner, it was Rosette's turned to make dinner and she was too lazy too, so she dragged Joshua out with her to go get some pizza. When he protested she asked how he would feel if she got mugged.

Joshua had promised to go slower than usual, so that she didn't have to run so hard to keep up with him. But it didn't look like he was living up to his promise, he was purposely picking up speed and Rosette could swear that it was just to annoy her. And that, along with the little smirk that her had on his face, was really getting to her.

Rosette sighed inwardly with relif, when Joshua slowed down and stopped outside a little pizza parlor called Antonio's Pizza (2). She slowed her pace down as she neared him and stopped right in front of him, and placed her hands on her knees, panting. Lifting her head up a little bit, she glared at her younger brother.

"Oh sorry Rosette, did I go a bit too fast for you?" Joshua asked, looking at Rosette with innocent eyes. He had a red baseball cap on backwards on his head; she knew that it was more for look than for protection against the December chilly air. He was also wearing a black jacket, with the zipper half done up so that one could see the blue sweater that he had on underneath, and black jeans.

"No, your speed was just fine Joshua, but you're going have go slower on the way back, because I'm going to be holding the food!" Rosette replied. The first part of her sentence obviously forced. She straightened her unzipped blue jacket and the army-colored sweater underneath her jacket. Brushing off her blue jeans she stepped forward and zipped up the rest of Joshua's jacket.

"Wouldn't want you getting sick again!" She teased as she slipped into the small pizza parlor.

"Hey!" Joshua exclaimed as he followed Rosette in, "Then how come your jacket isn't done up?"

Twenty minutes later, the two siblings found themselves out on the street once again. A smug looking Rosette walked, with her hands in her jacket pockets, with a grumbling, Joshua beside her, carrying the pizza.

"How did I get stuck with the pizza?" Joshua asked.

"You wanted the anchovies, so you carry it." Rosette replied.

"Ya., but when I'm carrying it, then I can't go as fast on my skateboard...." Joshua trailed off as realization dawned on him, "You little rat!"

Rosette held her hands up defensively, "Hey, you fell for it." Joshua grumbled and turned away, concentrated on not hitting anyone in the busy streets if New York. They walked (in Rosette's case) or skateboarded (in Joshua's case) in silence till an ear piercing scream filled the air.

"What the hell was that?" Rosette asked, as they both took off in a run.

"No clue, but it seems to be coming from the bank. Shit, Rosette we can't help out in a bank robbery." Joshua replied, stuffing the pizza underneath his arm, not caring how it ended up.

"We have to try, Joshua." Looking at his reluctant face, she tried again. "Well at least let's go take a look; we don't have to do anything, just look."

Joshua regarded his sister carefully, and nodded reluctantly.

They had a hard time of pushing through the crowd, most people were trying to get away from the bank, not get to it like Rosette and Joshua. When they were finally out of most of the crowd what they saw made them stop dead in their tracks.

Demons, at least six of them, were inside the bank. They weren't that powerful, just a couple of low level legions, but they had nothing to fight them with.

"Holy crap!" Rosette whispered as she and Joshua ducked behind an abandoned taxi. Searching her pockets she only came up with a small vial of holy water. "We are we going to do?"

"How should I know?" Joshua whispered back. "We have to do something!"

"I know!" Rosette glanced over at the bank; the doors were smashed in, leaving trials of glass on the sidewalk and inside the bank. Someone lay, hopefully unconscious, on the sidewalk.

Form what she could see the demons were holding, hopefully what was everyone, in the bank as hostages and seemed to be threatening the bank teller. The woman that was being threatened was shaking with visible fear, as her hands fumbled with what Rosette guessed to be keys. One demon, a particularly ugly one with only one horn, a huge muscled body and slightly tattered wings grabbed a young girl out of the group of hostages, who started screaming shrilly out of the top of her lungs.

Rosette couldn't wait any longer. She didn't have a plan, but she didn't have anymore time. Running out from behind the car, she ignored Joshua's protests as she threw the vial of holy water at the demon. The demon let go of the girl, leaving her to drop to the ground, as the vial broke on its horn and splashed in its eyes. Ignoring the demon's howls of pain as its eyes were being burned, Rosette jumped for the girl before she hit the ground and slid on her back, with the girl clutched between her arms, until she was stopped by a wall.

A man jumped out from the crowd and kicked the demon in the head, breaking its neck in one swift blow, leaving the body to crumple to the ground. He stood a couple feet in front of Rosette as another demon launched itself at them. Rosette rolled to the side and let the still screaming girl run to her mother, as the demon slammed the man into the wall beside her. She stood up and backed away looking for something that she could fight with the help the man, but was delayed as another demon grabbed her by the neck with one hand and hauled her up.

She lashed out with her legs, hoping to kick the demon, but failed when he held her out of her leg span. Not for the first time Rosette cursed the fates that had made her short. The demon's grip on her neck loosened for a second, when Joshua slammed his skateboard behind the demon's knee, breaking his skateboard in half.

"Rosette!" He called out, when she let out a strangled cry as the grip on her neck was tightened once again. The bank was bathed in a flash of red light and another demon rammed into the one holding Rosette. Rosette fell to the ground when the hold on her neck was gone and she lay gasping for the breath that was squeezed from her. Glancing up she saw a demon quickly disposing of all the other demons, his long purple braid swinging to one side as he slashed at another opponent who at come up behind him, his red eyes glinting.

Wait...Long purple braided hair, crimson eyes, Rosette's eyes widened in recognition.

"You're the guy from my dream!" She shouted.

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

-End Ch.2-

(1) I don't really know if that was were it really was, I'm just assuming.

(2) I have no clue whether or not that is actually a real place.

My first cliffhanger. Aren't I evil? I did put the reunion in, just as I promised. I just didn't tell you that there would only be a few sentences or it!

The plot of the story, where they have to save the world and yatta, yatta, shall be introduced in a chapter or two. I want to get some stuff down first. It's amazing where one can get the inspiration of what to write. The idea for this chapter came from when I was giving my dog a bath. So while I was getting sprayed with soapy water, I was wondering, what my lovely little reviewers would like and bam! My idea came to me.

I know that I kind of made Joshua seem a bit selfish and cowardly, but he shall be redemmed in future chapters. And he did scarifice his beloved skatboard for his sister right?

Well now I need a little bit of help, you see I kind of know where the story is going, and I have some of the scenes needed, but I need more ideas. Could you guys please help me? Write a review, send me an e-mail (ftefinderhotmail.com) something, that can give me some inspiration. Your own ideas are welcomed and I will give you credit if I use even part of your idea. It doesn't have to be for the next chapter, it can be for any of the upcoming chapters.

I also need a name to call the household of or the household. I mentioned it earlier in this chapter. Could you guys also please help me for that?

Your help and reviews are much appreciated and encouraged.

Preview of next chapter

"Who the hell was that?" Rosette screaming at Yuan the next morning. "Sure he was tall and sexy-" Rosette clamped her hand over her mouth. "I did not just say that." She said to a laughing Yuan.
