Some of you are guessing my story, and I'm flattered as hll. Glad people seem to like this story.

I do not own the sexiest demon alive, (with the exception of maybe sesshomaru, since I am an Inuyasha fan originally.) Or his little nun.

(Oh, in my story, I'm officially giving Sister Kate the title of Abbess, since she'd the head honcho of the Order. Technically, an abbess is the head of a nunnery, much as an abbot is the head of a monestary, but I think she deserves the rank.)

Chap: consideration

The sun shone brightly through the large cathedral windows of the head nun's office as she heard her subordinate's report. "So you submitted the horn to the elder, and Fr. Remington is down in the infirmary?"

"Yes, Sister Kate," Rosette nodded. Once everything had calmed down, they'd returned to the abbey, helping a disoriented Remington down to the hospital ward. Rosette and Chrono had been patched up as well, but she was sent off to report to Sister Kate with minor cuts and bruises. Azmaria had offered to take care of Chrono's injury with her song, but he had declined. Her powers should be reserved for something serious, was his opinion.

"And this spell the demon worked? What of that?" The woman asked from her seat behind the desk. "Have either of you noticed anything strange?"

"No ma'am," the girl replied. "Although, the Elder said that I have a slight difference in my aura. He said its nothing to worry about," she hastened to assure the abbess, "its probably from being around too much demonic energy like that. You know, the lost Astral energies?"

"Hmm. I suppose that makes sense. But are you sure you're all right?"

"Oh, I'm fine! Don't worry about me! Worry more about Chrono. He did receive a nasty gash on his chest," the girl said with a sympathetic wince.

"Yes, I heard. Is he comfortable?" The woman shifted a bit, not quite meeting Rosette's eye. As much as she didn't want to trust the demon, he'd proven his devotion to Rosette time and again. She found herself actually starting to like the boy, to her surprise. But it wasn't like she would ever admit it: she did have a reputation to keep.

The nun smiled at the question, "Oh, he's fine, but he is going a little stir crazy with nothing to do down there, so I thought I'd go down and play some cards with him or something"—

"Sister Rosette! Sister Rosette!"

Both nuns whirled as one of the militia men came streaking down the hall, nearly crashing into the abbess's door. The abbess couldn't help but say under her breath, "Rosette giving a calm report, with minimal property damage, I knew it was too good to be true. Something had to happen......"

The man gave a bare nod to Sister Kate before facing Rosette. "Pardon the intrusion, Abbess, but this is quite urgent. They need you down in the infirmary now, young miss. Something is wrong with Chrono."

The girl paled before running out the door, her boots pounding down the hall. The abbess looked over to the militia man, who nodded to her again. He answered her unasked question, "Chrono the demon has somehow transformed, to our knowledge, without the watch's power."
