Disclaimer:I do not own Chrno Crusade-never will,never. Depressing fact.
Chapter 9:
Rosette rubbed her ears painfully. She had just gotten a rather loud screaming from Sister Kate for calling her an old hag---nothing could have made her day worse.
First, she was shocked by her dear Chrno's appearance, second, she had multiple injuries due to her clumsiness,third,she was tired after implanting joke bombs,and fourth,she had been kidnapped and she was now stuck with an old hag,a shy conservative girl,a bunch of rats,and one dim lightbulb.
Where's Chrno when I need him...Man...he's gonna be in one heck of a dilemna when I get my hands on him!But...I feel somewhat sad at having to wring that beautiful neck of his...ackOh.My.Gawd.I did NOT just think of that.I did not.At least I think so--.

Chrno awoke with a start. He felt soft material underneath him and looked down. It was his own bed...yet, he felt particulary...odd,staying in it when he knew Rosette was out there somewhere in the cold darkness.
Wait a minute---how did I know she was cold and that she was in darkness?
Flashes appeared in his mind and he suddenly saw a place, a small house in England that wasn't even standing out...it was small,unkept,and most of all...it had an odd aura.
Chrno noticed it just then. It HAD no aura.
He was absolutely,horrifyingly stunned.
It meant that not only was Rosette trapped, not only that she wouldn't be able to come out.
It meant that she was currently stuck in the depths of a purgatory.
One that belonged only to a single person.
The person's name, or rather,the demon's name, was...
Pandemonium.

Rosette sighed. Her head was throbbing again...and this time,it was getting worse and worse.
All of a sudden,her eyes clouded over. She felt a suffocating feeling,then she just saw flashes of red and black.
The pain stopped almost as suddenly as it had come,and this caused Rosette to look around,shocked.
She remembered something important...but she couldn't quite remember what...
Waita bloody moment.Where's Claire and Kate?...did I just say the word bloody?This place has messed up my mind.
She looked down.
Gasping,she noticed that she was wearing a long silver dress that had a black sash tied across her waist.
Holy cow!When did I change out of my uniform!Wait a moment...I didn't!Which means someone stripped me!I didn't even feel a damn thing!Crap!...I said holy cow,didn't I?
Turning her head upwards and facing heaven ( wherever it was in the darkness ) and clasped her hands in a prayer-like manner,muttering quietly under her breath.
Sorry Jesus.I said 'holy cow' and 'bloody'...actually,its not quite my fault.That stupid nun hit my head and I have probably just lost a trillion and thirty five brain cells.I solemly apologize.
She stood up,with a great amount of effort,considering the shock and trauma she had been through in such a short period of time, and tried walking in the cursed darkness.
Tripping over her long silk skirt, she cursed yet again,this time saying a word that Father Remington would make her do 200 Hail Marys for if she had been at confession.
She sighed and put her hands together,preparing to apologize yet again to the heavens above.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Chrno tried desperately to stop the barrage of questions that were raining down onto his poor head.
Why has Pandemonium taken Rosette,Claire,and Kate?
Is she torturing them to no end?
Why has she taken them,of all people,especially Claire,instead of me?
Did she really kill them first!
If she did,then why the does she need friggin' dead bodies?
Would you shut the up!
He realised that he was getting pretty agitated at the moment,and promised himself that he would ask Remington for a confession for saying that word after this had all ended.
Sighing inwardly,he cursed himself again and rushed off to look for the particulary annoying minister in question.
It was going to take quitea bit of explanations just to tell that bloody priest what happened.
I'd rather burn in hell.Oops.That was a bit too rather let him burn in the infernos of hell.
Chuckling softly,he vowed that he would most definitely haveto go for confession for that awful curse he had just muttered upon the unsuspecting priest.
Let's just hope that it really comes true.
