Disclaimer: "..." You think that people would get the idea by now.

I'm really glad that you guys liked the last chapter, I was afraid that someone would be mad because it wasn't a real chapter. So thanx again to jainga for the idea! And I forgot one thing about the last chapter. It was supposed 2 be back before Rosette died the first time. Hehehe, kinda forgot that lil detail. Lol.

This chapter is shorter than the rest, and I'm really sorry. School work has just been pounding on me (I know only a week in, but I go to a private school and there's so much already!!) I had this types up and I kept staring at it and thinking what else could I write? So I decided that instead of making you guys wait any longer, I might as well post it. So here it is!

Oh yea and Z98 ahs just informed that I've been spelling Yuan wrong, it's supposed to be Ewan. So thanx so much! Now I wont be typing the worng name like an idiot! Lol. So fi you're confused in the change in spelling, that's why!

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

The next morning was the same as usual, chaos ruled over the small apartment. Rosette had woken up earlier than usual, as had Joshua, but they were still running late. The cause of this could have been of many different things.

The fact that Rosette had stared at her tooth paste and wondered, if it had one of those 'get your money back if it doesn't work' things, because she really couldn't see her teeth getting any whiter than they already were. Despite the words 'extra-whitening' slapped across the tube in bright neon red letters. Maybe it could be because her teeth were already at her whitest or maybe it was just a bunch of bogus.

Then she started wondering who had bought the toothpaste in the first place. She certainly hadn't. Nope, she went for the 'no cavities' one. She didn't really like the prospect of having holes in her teeth. Maybe Joshua had bought it, but then he had always seemed the 'all in one' kind of guy. That meant that it had to be Ewan. What an idiot, she would grind him into the ground later today and make him go get her new toothpaste.

Another thing that could have made them late might have been that Joshua kept burning the toast. He had gone through a whole loaf of bread when Ewan had finally taken over and had succeeded in burning the toaster. They had then dumped it in the kitchen sink and which had resulted in near death by eletrocution. Not the nicest way to go. Rosette did not turn up until five minutes later because she was too immersed in her toothpaste dilemma at the time.

Then when they had gotten to the car, it was found that Ewan couldn't find his keys. So while he searched his numerous pockets for his keys, Rosette and Joshua had decided to try and pick the lock. It wasn't exactly the best things to do, because then the car alarm went off. And by the time Ewan had found his keys and had turned it off, they were all temporarily deaf.

When they had finally gotten into the car and were almost at their school when Ewan decided to spring an interesting piece of information.

"Rosette I want you to check something out this afternoon with Chrno." Ewan said.

"Sure. What?" Rosette asked, she managed to pick herself out of her semi-asleep state, the prospect of doing something exorcism related and as well as working with a certain demon, was more than enough of an incentive to make her perk up.

"I'm not too sure; Chrno phoned this morning and said that he wanted to get something checked out at the factory and then he had to look something up at the archives. It sounded like a lot of work so I volunteered you to go with him." Ewan replied.

"You didn't even know if I would even say yes!" Rosette said, slightly miffed that she was so predictable.

"Well you did say yes didn't you?" Ewan teased.

"Shut up." Rosette said, she puffed her cheeks and out and quickly exited the car when it stopped in front of her school. Joshua leaned over and grabbed his bag and imitated his sister and quickly exited the car.

"Oi! Rosette, wait for me!" Joshua called to his sister's rapidly fading form.

"Hurry up Joshua! We're already late." Rosette called back. She stopped and waited for her brother to catch up to her, and tighter they made a mad dash to get to their classes.

She shifted ever so slightly so that the majority of the weight produced by her petit form was put onto her left foot. Nodding meekly every now and then, she tried to make sense of the words spewing rapidly from the principle's mouth. It wasn't going so good.

Then realizing that the man was done talking she murmured a quite thank you, took the offered map and quickly exited the office. She looked down at the mass of lines and letters in the piece of paper in front of her. According to this, her first class, math, was in room 233, meaning that she should take the nearest flight of stairs and then proceed to the opposite end of the school.

She looked down at her watch and winced when she saw the time. She was going to be late. What a way to make a first impression. Tucking her pale lavender hair behind her ears, she quickly started walking down the hallway, the echo of her heels reminding her how alone she was. They could have at least had someone to show her to her class. But oh well. She was once again alone. She was always alone. One might think that she would have gotten used to it by now.

She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she failed to register the fact that her shoe echoes were not alone any more. And she paid for her lack of observation when she collided with two bodies as she walked around a corner.

She did however register the pain that was inflicted on her back as she fell backwards with the combined weight of two more people on top of her.

"Joshua you idiot." Groaned one of the people on top of her, from what she could see, it was a pretty blonde girl. "Why didn't you stop?"

"How was I supposed to know, Rosette?" A boy's voice said, she was unable to see the speaker, so she tried to discreetly crane her neck, but gave up when all the resulted was a pain in her neck.

She was relived when both bodies rolled off her and stood up. The girl, Rosette, looked to be slightly older than herself. She was certainly at least a foot taller than she was and was quite pretty. She then shifted her gaze to the boy beside Rosette, Joshua. He and Rosette had to be siblings, they looked so much alike. But where Rosette was pretty, Joshua was breathtakingly handsome, a lean body, ruffled golden hair... She quickly snapped herself out of her reverie when Rosette spoke to her.

"Ah, sorry bout that." She quickly said and offered a hand out to the fallen girl. "We're late for class and were rushing around so we didn't see you ."

"That's ok." The other girl replied back.

"I'm Rosette Christopher." The blond girl said. She either felt inclined to introduce herself due to their rude introduction or she was just generally a nice girl. Perhaps both. Then gesturing to the boy beside her she said, "This is my brother-"

"Joshua Christopher." He cut his sister off. "Are you new here? I don't think that I've seen you around before."

"Yes I am new here." She accompanied her words be a slight inclination of her head, sending pale strands of hair into her face. "I'm Azamaria Hendrick."

"Where's your first class?" Rosette asked. "Where already late, so we might as well help you find it."

"Uhh.." Azamaria wracked her brain, trying to remember the class she had been thinking of only moments earlier. "Math, in room 233."

"That's my class." Joshua exclaimed with a bright grin, "Come on we better hurry."

Az returned his grin with a shy one of her own and nodded her head in agreement.

"I'll leave you two to get to your class, so bye! See you around Azamaria." Rosette said and cheerfully disappeared around the corner that had caused then to meet.

Two faint byes followed her seconds later, and then two speakers rushed down the hall.

Joshua leaned back in his chair and studied Az who was introducing herself to the front of the class. When they had reached the class things had happened in rapid succession. Joshua had been yelled at and then given a detention, which had been taken back after Az had said that he had been late because of her. Their math teacher had then assigned them to work on a math project together, as the rest of the class already had partners. Then Joshua had taken his seat and Az had started to introduce herself to the class.

Currently he was trying to ignore the guy beside him, that just happened to be one of his closest friends.

"Hey Joshua," Justin whispered, "You're so lucky man, getting stuck with a babe."

"Shut up." Joshua hissed back, couldn't the guy ever keep any of his opinions to himself? He said that loud enough for the whole class to hear!

He looked back over to where Azamaria stood in front of the class. She didn't seem to have heard. He had no doubt that had she heard she would be as red as a tomato by now. Like Justin said, she was really pretty. A petit small frame and a pale white oval face surrounded by long lavender hair...

He snapped out of his mind wandering when the object of his thoughts walked past him to settle in the seat behind him. Joshua turned around slightly studied her. She was pulling out her pencil case and flipping through the pages in her binder nervously. As if she was trying to keep her hands busy. He gave the nervous girl a small smile.

He hands stopped moving, as if comforted by it.

And his spirits soared when she gave him a small smile back

Tell me what you guys think? Az was the 'new' character that I was talking about!

Please review on your way out!
