Chapter 5:
Chrno felt odd. He had never gotten that kind of response from Rosette before. He suspected that there was something seriously wrong with her brain.
He shrugged and looked down at his book. Why the hell am I reading a book? He thought. He felt really odd. He looked at the book's cover. It read ' Romeo and Juliet'.
Wait a minute! Why am I reading SHAKESPEARE of all things?
There was sincerely SOMETHING wrong today.

Rosette blushed when she realized what she had been thinking. Her mind still was in its dreamy state. ( Believe me, that is RARE. )
Suddenly, her eyes flew WIDE open. WHAT THE HELL HAD SHE BEEN THINKING?
When she had calmed down, she thought of only one person to ask for all answers to her questions.
She hesitantly got off her bed and straightened out her uniform.
Today was one of the rare days when Rosette went to see the old pervert by herself.
Maybe she had better ask someone to come along with her just in case the stupid guy decided to do something funny.
She sighed and began making her way towards Elder's hut.

Chrno looked up from his book ( Romeo and Juliet ) just in time to see Rosette entering Elder's hut.
What was wrong with her until she had WILLINGLY gone to visit the old man?
Chrno chuckled and looked down at his book. He didn't understand a thing Shakespeare was writing.
Why was he reading it then? Romance tips?
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Rosette entered the hut only to find Elder peering worriedly into a machine.
" Hey, Elder, what is that you have there?" Rosette asked.
Elder was shocked when he heard her voice and tried to conceal the machine.
" Uh…nothing! Nothing at all! What are you doing here Rosette?" He asked nervously.
Rosette was getting annoyed. " What are you guys trying to hide from me? What did you do to Chrno and what the hell is that stupid machine thingy that you are trying to hide?"
She rushed to the Elder and pulled the cloth that covered the machine. She gasped.
It was a vessel that contained, more or less, Astral.
She opened her mouth and began shakily. " Elder…what the hell is this? Is this what you used on Chrno?"
Elder sighed and adjusted his goggles. " Yes… I was supposed to destroy it, but somehow, no matter what I do to take it apart and release the Astral back to the Astral Line, I can't."
Rosette thought for a moment. " Hang on a moment, Elder…are you saying that the Astral in the container is extra Astral ? That it could be used by someone if they had a receptor to store it all?"
Elder looked at the machine and said : " Now that you mention it, I guess it can work if I prepared the receptor in time… but who are you planning to give the Astral to?"
Rosette looked at him with a annoyed face. " Isn't it obvious?"
Elder looked at her and said : " No."
Rosette used a wrench from a nearby table and threw it at him, almost causing him severe brain damage.
" You stupid old toad! Who else in this whole damn place would need Astral more than anyone else?"
" OH…I see…when do you plan to have it done?" Elder said once his brain cells were back to normal.
" I don't really know…we have to ask him if he will agree to be fitted with a receptor first…"
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Chrno listened to the conversation from outside and he clenched his fists in anger.
He didn't need the Astral! Rosette needed it more than he did! He would be able to survive for thousands of years, but her…he shuddered at the thought.
He sighed and pretended to look interested in his book.
He looked at his watch.
It was almost time to head out to the lake…

Me: Heya! I made this chapter slightly longer so that I wouldn't have to update so soon…sorry this took so long…been caught up in schoolwork and other things…
Rosette: Stupid old lazy hag.
Me: WHAT DID YOU SAY?
Rosette: I called you a stupid old lazy hag.
Chrno: whispers to Rosette You do realize she can do ANYTHING to you…it is her story after all…
Rosette: AAH!
Me: Could…you…repeat what…you said?
Rosette: Heh heh… uh…I said you were a hardworking lady! That's it!
Me: I am gonna kill you…ahem…I mean…ANNIHILATE you…
Rosette: eep
Me: Bye for now! Please review!
