Tsukimono doth not own Chrno Crusade.

The blonde girl closed her eyes in fear. Silently, she prayed for someone to save her from this abnormal beast in front of her. Its leathery skin scared her. It had a horn that to her, resembled a unicorn which she often read about in books, except that the creature wearing it was not a creature of beauty. It was a hideous fanged beast with large leathery wings. Its skin was a dull gray in color and it frightened her. Everything about it made her body and soul shiver.
'Someone! Please! Help me!' she screamed silently despite the fact that she believed that no one would appear out of the midst just to save her from this creature. Was anyone capable to? Was anyone willing to endanger themselves for her?
Tears escaped her violet eyes as she stared wide-eyed at the advancing creature. "No," she said, "Don't come closer!"
The creature hissed. It knew that she could do nothing but for some reason…it was cautious… as if it were afraid to touch her.
After a while, as if it had made up its mind, it lurched forward towards the shivering girl. "Nooo!" she screamed as loud as she could. Then, she felt something pass by her. 'What?' she thought. She looked up. The creature was no longer there. She sighed a sigh of relieve. Something…no…someone had saved her. Then, a thought crossed her mind.
'What if …what if that person gets in danger?' She panicked. 'What if someone gets hurt…because of me?'
Then, she started to cry.
"…Why are you crying?" asked a voice out of the blue. She looked around her. There was no one there. She bent her head down and wiped away her tears. The voice had soothed her. It was gentle and soft. A voice of one who protects not destroys.
"Hey…are you…alright?" asked someone from the shadows. His voice was deep and mellow. One that was so…wondrous that it made her blush once she heard it.
She looked up, surprised by the sudden voice. Her face was as red as a tomato. A man appeared from the shadows. He had short purple hair and tanned skinned.
"Wh-who are you?" asked the girl, Renai.
The man bent down to inspect the girl. After seeing that she was alright, he said, "I am Chrno. And what did you do to make that… 'creature' chase you?"
"I…I don't know," answered Renai truthfully.
Chrno's wine red eyes were traced with suspicions.
'What? She doesn't know what she did to make a demon chase her? Maybe …she…does have some unknown power…like Magdalene or Azmaria,' thought Chrno.
"…can you stand?" he asked as he stood up.
Renai tried pushing herself up but found out that she was quite unable to. She blushed as she knew how useless she must seem.
'To be saved by this man and to be unable to stand up,' she thought.
Chrno smiled. He offered the girl his hand. To him, this was normal for any human after being chased by a demon. Suddenly, his eyes were suddenly covered with a veil of sadness.
'People hate demons. People fear demons. Demons cheat, demons kill…that's why people fear us,' he thought. This was what Sheda had told him.
Renai took the offered hand gladly. She held his warm hand and was hoisted up to her feet. She gave him a smile. "Thanks for saving me," she said, "I'm Renai."

"Speak demon. What are the likes of you doing in the city?" spat Chrno coldly as he pinned the lesser demon onto the wall. His eyes fixed upon the other demon's coldly. The demon shivered in fear. "Chrno…the sinner," he said with a hiss. He tried to hide his fear of the stronger demon but he was unsuccessful as Chrno's grip on him tightened when he mentioned the word 'Sinner'.
"Speak," said Chrno. His wine red eyes were changing into his golden amber ones. That, by itself, showed the demon how furious Chrno was. "…I was assigned to…get the girl," said the demon as he almost shook in fear.
"Why?"
"I don't know…"
"You lie," said Chrno as he transformed into his real form which heightened the demon's fear. "I really don't know," squeaked the demon in fear, "I don't."
…Chrno readied his right hand. The demon saw it and paled at the sight of that. It was like the butcher sharpening his knife before he sinks it into the cattle. Chrno glowered at him. To him this demon was so weak he didn't even need to bother…but he wanted to know. He NEEDED to know…what was it that wanted to harm people…WHO was it that wanted to do that.
"All-I-know-is-that-she-possesses-something-unique," said the demon quickly.
He didn't mention that the girl was said to have Sinner blood in her.
"…What is it?"
"I don't know," said the demon. He knew that he had said too much already. His master was going to punish him.
(A/N are demons so squeaky? well I guess that THIS one is…hehehe )
Chrno just slashed off the demon's horn. "Go if you must…or you will die here," said Chrno as he destroyed the horn.
