TT Neither do I own any really expensive designer brands named here. For example,Prada,LV,etc,etc.
F.Y.I Chrno is spelt as CHRNO.The manga, which is the original, straight from the master (Daisuke Moriyama)himself,
spells the word Chrno as CHRNO...but some follow the ANIME spelling,which is CHRONO.
I am following the original spelling (: Sorry.
Chapter 3:
Chrno pulled his jacket over the sleeping girl and smiled to himself.
Michael, i.e, Mr Smarty Pants, just happened to turn back at that moment and caught his smile.
"..Hmm...I sense a tremor of intense attraction between you and that girl..."
Chrno was irritated and muttered "...You wish..."
Michael just laughed and turned back to the front, where he had shifted so as to allow the distraught and traumatized girl to rest.
At that point, Aion awoke and yawned rather loudly.
Looking around at everyone, he saw the half-(ahem,naked.)girl and his eyes practically popped out of his stupid perverted head.
Aion shrieked."Hey!Chrno!Where'd you get her!DID I MISS-"
He was punched in the face by a very annoyed (very,very,VERY annoyed,mind you.)Chrno and fell unconcious,yet again,
on the floor with a thud.
Chrno sighed and noticed something sticking out of the girl's jacket,which was beside her on the car seat.
He pulled out a wallet.
A Prada one, mind you.
HIs jaw was practically dislocated.
Why would a girl,one found in the dark alley of one of the poorest disctricts in the country,have an ORIGINAL Prada wallet?
Curiosity getting the better of him,he flipped it open and the I.D he saw almost made himself in the same ,rather unfortunate,
predicament as Aion.(His unconcious state.)
It wasn't the fact that she was one of the wealthiest specimens of the opposite gender. No, that fact didn't shock him as much as the other fact did.
This girl was the daughter of his mother's best friend.

Vinsent looked at the clock hanging on the white-washed hospital wall and sighed.
It was time for him to return home and start work from his home office.
His work was never ending.
He had to work in his office.
He had to work at home.
"What is the point of me working so hard", he thought, "when you have a family but at the same time had none?"as he stepped into the awaiting lift doors to head to his limousine.
"What's the point of having a home when no one runs up to you and hugs you and asks you how your day was?"
"What's the point trying his best to work so hard, for money, which couldn't even be used to wake my wife up?"
At this last thought, Vinsent felt hot tears stinging his eyes, but blinked them back furiously.
Men didn't cry.
Especially not one of the most powerful men in the world,like him.
That was it.
He had decided what to do.
He knew a way to end all his troubles.
To end all his pain.
To stop his childrens' pain,also,by relieving them of something they hated.
He was going to leave this world.
Some way or another, he was sure that he would do it.
Tonight.

When the car came to a stop outside the hospital, Chrno picked up the sleeping blonde girl and was still ratherconfused and puzzledthat he remembered her face after all these years.
The last time he had seen her, he had been seven and she had barely been two years old.
Melanie,her mom,had come to their house for a celebratory dinner for Rosette,as she was called. Her brother, Joshua,had only been a one-year-old baby lying in a crib then.
He remembered playing with Rosette.
The both of them had been snatching the dog's chew toy from each other's mouth.(Ew.)
He smiled as he recalled that memory.
He remembered it so vividly,like it was just yesterday,because she had been the first girl,other than his mom,that he had ever met.
However, his smiled faded as he remembered what happened seven years later.
His mother, had been injured in a car accident and had been sent to the hospital.
Melanie, had gone there to visit her all the time.
His mother, one cold wintry day, had finally given up on the fight with her injuries.
She passed away that day.
Melanie stopped coming to their house to visit,probably because it would bring back too many memories for everyone and probably also because she as grief-stricken.
He recalled, that four years after that, Melanie had contracted cancer and had remained in a coma ever since.
That was all he remembered.
Chrno suddenly awoke from his dazed state and looked up into the annoyed face of Mr. Smarty Pants (Michael),who was looking at him with an eyebrow up.
Chrno smiled and said :" Sorry...I'l bring her to the ward. You just stay in the lobby,okay?"
Before Mr. Smarty Pants could say anything, Chrno had quickly walked inside and brought her to the emergency clinic amidst prying looks from old lechers ( example Elder's cousins or friends or whatever.) and puzzled looks from old ladies.
Chrno sighed inwardly and brought her ( he cut the queue, by the way.) straight to the doctor to have her examined.
When he got to the pale blue office door, he knocked it and was suprised at the hollow sound it made.
It sounded like someone hitting an empty tin can.
"Come in."came the voice.
Opening the door,Chrnosaw a female doctor with short chocolate brown hair and small circular glassed perched on the bridge of her nose.
He closed the door behind him and placed the sleeping girl onto the blue ("Why are hospitals always so blue and white?"he thought.) plastic covered bed and sat down onto the chair in front of the doctor.
She examind her notes and peered at him.
" You're Chrno..hmm..aren't you the new agent that the F.B.I hired?"
Chrno was stunned to the core that she knew about his current job.
"Y-yeah...how did you know?"
The doctor smiled and folded her hands, placing them down onto the desk.
" My husband hired you. He's been talking non-stop about how he managed to snag the top recruits out of the academy when the other investigating officials were keen on hiring you two too. Like the CIA, some PIs...and loads more, I can tell you. The best recruits are wanted everywhere."
Chrno looked down sheepishly and managed to utter a "Thank you."
The doctor, Kate, smiled and walked over to Rosette, who was still sleeping like a pig, and looked back at Chrno, who seemed to have recovered from his sheepish state.
"Doctor, can you check if she's been...uh..."he tried hard to get the words out,but all that happened was his face turning as red as a ripe tomato.
Kate nodded and looked back at Rosette, brushing the hair out of the sleeping girl's face.
"I know what you mean...I'll do some tests."
Chrno heaved a sigh of relief at his burden being lifted and plonked himself onto the flimsy plastic chair.
Kate smirked rather evilly ( she knew who Rosette's father was,he WAS a famous guy after all...) and turned back to Rosette, while saying," You, in the meantime, are going to contact her family."
Chrno fell off his chair.
Today's stress was way too much for him to bear.

Author: Teehee.This chapter is more light-hearted, I felt that too much stress is bad for my heart,too.
Joshua: Why am I the only one always talking to you!
Author: Aw, shuddup. Talking to you is giving me headaches already. Imagine if I bring someone like Rosette Christopher in. I'd be in living hell.
Joshua: Fine, I'm calling my OWN friends.
Author: WHAT! Don't do that!
Joshua: Why not? -picks up phone and dials a gazillion numbers-
Author: crap.
