Rating: PG-13

A/N: First of all, thanks a lot for the reviews. I love reviews! Now, let's get down to business:

WARNING!

This chapter in particular will get a just a little bit gory. Ok… Maybe a lot, but I'm not really sure. I don't really consider it R rated; then again I'm twisted and have a pretty fucked up violent mind. So please, please tell me if you think I should change the rating! I really don't want this story to be deleted; it's my life and joy! (Ok, I'm exaggerating, but you get the idea!)

Disclaimer: I don't own Chrno- and I'm glad I don't. I'm such a psychotic freak; the manga would've been kind of like this chapter is!

Yet another A/N: I'm sorry. I'm just… Sorry! DON'T READ THIS IF YOU DON'T LIKE DARK ANGSTY VIOLENC! PLEASE DON'T READ IT IF YOU WON'T LIKE IT! I'm happy to see all those non-flamey reviews… Please don't read this if you didn't take the angst rating seriously!

Chapter 3

Rosette woke up a little after nine in the morning. Chrno had decided it would be best if they stayed in what he called "his cave" until he figured out where it would be a nice place for a human to live. He didn't bother to ask her, not like he shouldn't have- she was a human, after all. She knew exactly where would be the best place for a human to live! She guessed this was just his way of stating that he would make the decisions from now on. And Rosette didn't like this one bit.

She got up on her feet, finally managing to get out of Chrno's strong grasp. He seemed to have been cuddling her while she slept –whether this was an involuntary reaction or not, Rosette wasn't certain- and even when he was still sleeping; he was still a powerful demon! She then decided she needed fresh air, maybe walk around on her own for a bit before Chrno woke up, and attempted to go outside. Before she could set even a foot outdoors, however, Chrno had shot right up and grabbed Rosette by her wrist.

"Where the heck do you think you're going?" Chrno hissed angrily, his grip on Rosette's wrist tightening dangerously until it hurt.

"I'm just going out for a walk- Chrno, you're hurting me!" Rosette protested, trying to wriggle out of his grasp in vain.

"You will not, you needed my permission!"

"You were asleep!" Rosette defended herself, a pained expression in her face as she tried to break free, but to no avail. "I wasn't going to wake you up for something this stupid, and let go already! It's not like I'm trying to escape or anything!"

"What guarantees me that?" Chrno asked coldly, and threw her to the floor aggressively. "Don't make me hurt you, Rosette."

Rosette went quiet. What was she supposed to do now? She still wanted to go outside, but she sure as hell didn't want to ask him for an authorization! What gave him the right to threaten her, anyway? Just because he was a demon… It didn't mean anything! She was weaker than him, that was true, but they were- they were… What exactly were they?

'Certainly not lovers.' Rosette blushed at the thought. 'And not exactly friends, either, considering the way he treats me. We could be acquaintances, but then what the hell am I doing here living with him? Wait a minute… I'm not his slave, am I? Definitely not! I'll rip his throat out and make him clean it up if that's what Chrno thinks of me! I am most definitely not his slave, or anyone else's, for that matter!'

"Hey," Chrno said after a few minutes of silence, trying to get Rosette's attention. "Shouldn't you be hungry by now? You haven't eaten all morning. You need… 'Breakfast', don't you?"

Rosette looked away frowning and didn't answer. Sure she was hungry! What kind of idiot was he, anyway? She obviously needed food constantly; she didn't have a hump to store food, like camels did. Still, she wasn't about to go and talk to him. She was angry, damn it! Couldn't he get the hint? How could he even have the guts to talk to her so calmly after prohibiting her to go outside for some freaking air without his damn permission?

Chrno sighed. She was having one of her mood swings again. It had happened before when he had told her about them staying in here until he decided on a good place to live. Humans were so strange sometimes, but the one he had picked out must be the strangest of them all. He only put up with her nonsense because she was his favorite: otherwise he would have greatly enjoyed killing her a long time ago. Chrno started to contemplate the idea of how exactly would be the best way of murdering her, of spilling as much blood as possible and making her body unrecognizable with his bare claws. Taking the life of humans was always entertaining, but he always had this idea at the back of his head that taking hers would be far more enjoyable than the rest, even if he would regret it immensely afterwards. He had to remember to be careful not to kill her; he would never forgive himself if he did.

After a while of fantasizing, however, Chrno started to grow bored. Rosette wasn't talking to him, she clearly didn't feel like going anywhere, and he couldn't just leave her alone where other demons or wild, dangerous animals could find her. He also knew she wouldn't try to escape; he had made it quite obvious the consequences would be dire if she dared to even set a foot outside their cave without his consent, but that still didn't exactly promise she wouldn't stupid enough to try.

"Rosette…" The demon began. He had been about to make amends with her, but then he had a better idea. He silently walked towards her and grabbed her arm. She didn't say anything, probably she was still angry with him for whatever reason, but still moved her face to look at him, a confused expression crossing her fine-looking features.

Chrno began to move her arm, whispering something about her remaining still as he proceeded. This was quite pleasant for the devil, seeing as it calmed some of his curiosities about the flimsy human body, but it only made Rosette more nervous. What on Earth was he doing? "Chrno-" she began to ask, but was immediately cut off by her own pained wail. He had accidentally-on-purposely dislocated her arm.

"I'll fix it later." Chrno reassured her. "We'll find what you people call a doctor or something- I'm just testing your limits, that's all. I've never had a human body to have fun with before." Of course, by 'human body', he must be referring to her.

"What are you talking about?" Rosette felt like crying, he was mistreating her and it hurt. This made her angry. Angry at him. "You've killed dozens of people before, haven't you?" She snapped.

"Thousands!" Chrno admitted joyfully, his eyes showing insane delight as he remembered each and every one of his kills, his lips curling into a hideous smile, making chills go down Rosette's spine. "But I've never really given myself time to fully play with one before. Either they were too easy to break to resist killing quickly, or too stubborn to let me amuse myself a little longer with them. But with you, my dear Rosette… I can do whatever I want."

Chrno left her arm alone and proceeded to go up her neck as he tried to get rid of her clothes. "Don't you dare touch me there!" Rosette shouted angrily as she slapped his wandering hands away with her good arm, her eyes still a little watered from the pain she had experienced only a bit earlier. She wasn't about to let him sexually harass her or anything.

"Fine." Chrno resigned, though he didn't understand exactly why she had slapped his hand so fiercely. After all, humans didn't have the need of privacy, did they? He decided to explore this possibility later on, and instead decided to go for all of her as an alternative to beneath her clothes, squeezing her from behind and smelling her hair a bit. She felt almost like a high ranking demon would, the same shape of body, arms and legs. Her body was essentially almost like his, except for a few obvious differences. Plus, hers wasn't as strong as his own demon body, a difference between frail humans such as herself and he which the demon would make quite clear right there and now.

He let go of the young nun and slammed her to the wall in a matter of seconds, taking Rosette off guard. She cried out once she felt the hard stone against her back. If Chrno hadn't held back a bit, she would have been dead in an instant. She looked up with her eyes half closed in pain to see the demon was leering down at her, grinning nastily.

He was obviously having the time of his life.

"Well? Get up!" He ordered maliciously, knowing very well that she could not. That didn't prevent him from kicking her when she didn't obey his command as Rosette squealed. "I gave you an order." The devil repeated, his voice in mock frustration before he began to laugh. "You're all so weak, simply pathetic! Let's see how much more a human like you can take before you're drifted into unconsciousness."

"Chrno, don't!" Rosette implored, she was mad at him. Mad and scared. He could tell.

"Idiot," he chuckled, lowering himself so that his face was merely an inch away from Rosette's and holding her chin tightly. "Don't ever think you can tell me what and what not to do." Chrno said punching Rosette in the stomach, the smell of coughed-up blood reaching his nose and driving his senses wild. The smell of blood always created the same effect, but this time he had to be at least a little careful, he didn't want to kill her.

Still, Rosette was crying. She was scared. He found that irresistible- but he didn't want her to fear him forever because of this. 'This is only her first time,' he told himself. 'She will grow used to it with time. I just need her to understand.' Chrno nuzzled his face on her necka bit before his lips touched Rosette's right ear delicately.

"Just a bit more…" He whispered into her ear imploringly while his hands felt the blood running down her waist. "I only need to hurt you just a bit more. Then it will be over." He took his hands up to his mouth and licked the nun's blood out of them. This wasn't helping his now close to uncontrollable blood lust, but he needed to satisfy his thirst… "I'm sorry if I hurt you." Chrno stated lastly to the cowering human who had been paralyzed with shock as he held it in his grasp, and proceeded to hit her everywhere; his claws tearing into her flesh. Five minutes later, she was unconscious.

A/N: Ok. Time to explain. First of all: I told you so. This story was going to get DARK. I rated this "angst" for a reason, you know? You see… Chrno doesn't really "love" Rosette, at least not yet. Their relationship so far in this fic has been that of… ownership, if you will. (Don't be silly, that will change! I also rated this a "romance", remember?) He sees her kind of like a child sees a toy. And as some of you may recall during your childhoods, kids sometimes like to tear their toys apart, see what's inside and explore them a bit. They get curious, just like Chrno and, just like him, they tend to play a little rough with their toys and explore their limits. I've always imagined demons not to think of human as -well, humans. They're more like objects to them- at least in my point of view. It's true that Chrno went a bit overboard with bloodlust, but he didn't really mean it- it's in his nature as a demon. And demons are not cute and cuddly creatures that are filled with loads loving and caring actions, giving off free candy and flowers to anyone and, as they see humans, anything that crosses their paths. Whoever has this crap stuck in his mind is a moron.

There. I just wanted to explain and give Chrno some justice. He's not evil- he's a demon. And please keep this in mind as you read further: it just may get darker, and more graphic! Hurray! (I'm gonna be forced to change this into an R, won't I? NOOO!)

So that's it for now! Please read and review! Even FLAMES are accepted- kind of. I'm desperate! I need the attention! I need to feel loved or even hated! …Dunno why, though. Maybe it was the chicken I ate. It was cursed, I tell you! Ehem… See you all next time! (I hope.)

PS: I've just been wandering… Am I a sadist, or what? I mean: it's not like I'd like to hurt anyone or anything, but, well, seeing Chrno as he is now -a true demon and not some whiney bastard and all- well, the angst of it makes me feel so unusually warm and happy inside. Plus, Dark Chrno turns me on. (I'm strange.)

And since you've all been so nice, here's a little pathetic attempt at some sort of sick humor! (I know, I said I wouldn't do it, so what? So sue me.)

Reader 1: Hey! It's another Chrno Crusade Romance/Angst! I love those kinds of fics! They have all sorts of sugary, fluffy goodness!

Reader 2: I'm not sure… I cried a lot when I read the last angst fic. You know, when Rosette got a paper cut and Chrno wasn't there to comfort her? (A/N: Good plot idea, angst writer folk! GOOD PLOT IDEA! Feel free to steal it!)

Reader 1: Yeah, I cried too. But at least Chrno came back and kicked that dumb paper's ass! And then he confessed his undying love for Rosette!

Reader 2: Yeah, that was so sweet! Let's Read this fic!

Comments on chapter 1:

Reader 1: OMG, that was so sad when Rosette's car got busted!

Reader 2: At least now the angst is over, fluffy romance, now!

Reader 1: That wasn't so bad… I wonder why the author warned us so much…?

They read chapter 2:

Reader 1: Hurray! Fluffy!

Reader 2: Ha ha ha! This author is so stupid, how can this get darker now? Chrno and Rosette are together!

Reader 1: Yeah… And that riddle, what was it about, anyway?

Reader 2: I know! I bet Chrno's gonna shower Rosette with presents and toys and stuff!

Both Readers: HOW CUTE! XD

Then, chapter 3 came. Dum dum DUM:O

Reader 1: O.O (In shock)

Reader 2: (Cries)

Both Readers: YOU'RE SICK, WONDERING HEART! SICK! We're gonna sue you! We're gonna write to Daisuke Moriyama and sue you! We're gonna warn our friends about you, too! We're gonna- (Leave a lot of flames and several psychologist's office numbers.)

Wondering Heart (AKA Author): (Cries.)

The end!

Yet another author's note: Upon rereading this (I admit it- I wrote this about a month ago. Never really cared to publish it before I discovered and I'm still writing chapter 4! Writer's block SUCKS! Why do you think I fill almost half of the story with Author's notes?), I just have to say… I have no idea why I wrote this. At all. This is sick- and it's stupid. I advise you all to stop reading this story for the sake of your own uncorrupted minds. Anyways, Read and Review!
