A/N: I wrote this all in one go, took a half hour brake and then edited it. For some reason I was having trouble with the last two chapters but this one came easily. I hope you guys enjoy it!
tegan new -- Is this soon enough?
Selea-Chan -- I make a point of answering all my reviewers since you guys go to the trouble of writing the reviews.
ChrnoCreations -- Here's the next installment for you!
Lyra the Sorceress of Scholars -- Ah, thank you for that little tid-bit. And I have tried using an asterisk to mark the changes in scenes but the online editor has for us just won't take them. Besides, I'm going to be using to be using to be using lulu dot com to self publish.
MisoGirl-- He's coming, don't worry.
neko56 -- Glad you're finding it interesting! And don't worry I know where it's going.
Everyone sat around the table trying to decide if they should believe Remington or not. Everyone except Chrono, Rosette and Shader.
"Well... It does add up with what father always said about the Magdalene Order..." Sebastian conceded slowly.
Rosette and Chrono exchanged long glances. From the perspective of the others it was like they were seeing each other for the first time in decades.
Chrono forced his gaze off of his love to look at Remington.
"I'm impressed Minister," Everyone stared at the purple haired teen with some surprise; Remington had never said that he was a Minister, "You managed to tell the entire story without mentioning our names even once."
"Chrono-?" Sebastian started to ask, only to be interrupted by Remington.
"So you remember?"
"We both do." Rosette answered for him.
Everyone except Shader – who just watched with interest – stared between the three, trying to figure out what they had missed.
"Uuuhhh, okay, what did we miss?" Genai finally asked, breaking the silence.
"The nineteen twenties." Chrono supplied, making the other teen twitch.
Remington chuckled and explained to the others, "Chrono and Rosette are the nun and Devil from the story I just told you."
Rizel's, Viede's, Genai's and Sebastian's jaws hit the table. Then Genai burst out laughing.
"Oh, yeah right! Reincarnation? That stuff's just a bunch of crap!" He said, continuing to laugh.
"Maa, Chrono can you answer a question for me...?" Shader asked.
"Sure. What is it?"
"Why did you leave us? What happened between you and Aion back on Eden?"
Genai stopped laughing and – along with everyone one else – stared at her with some surprise and a lot of curiosity. Chrono's surprise turned into a gentle, warm smile that seemed to belong to someone much older, someone who had lived a hard life but had not let it harden him. To Rizel, Genai and Viede it was a bit creepy to see. But to Rosette it was the most wonderful sight.
"Ah, so you remember do you?" He asked.
"Yeah. I've remembered for a few years now."
"Oh."
Taking a deep breath Chrono told her everything that had happened on that night over a hundred years ago.
"Yeah..." She said when he was done, "That sounds like Aion..."
"All I want to know," Rosette said thoughtfully, "Is why we were reincarnated."
It was Sebastian's turn to say something, "It likely has to do with how much you two left undone."
"He's probably right." Chrono said.
"What? Don't tell me you believe all this crap!" Genai exclaimed.
"It," Sebastian said, pinning the other teen in his seat with a look, "Explains way to much about my brother for me to just dismiss."
Rizel started to say something when a distant roar that sounded an awful lot like it belonged to a T-Rex came from below their feet. All the teens stared at the floor, wondering what else was hidden in this school.
Remington swore, got up and bolted out the door. Concerned, the others all followed after him.
When they herd a girl's scream they put on a burst of speed – and found a twenty foot white and olive-green colored, European dragon looming over a frightened girl beside the empty pool. Chrono absently noted that it was the girl who had insisted that she had seen a ghost earlier as he ran past her and clamped his hands around the dragon's muzzle and stared it in the eye. She tried to get out of Chrono's grasp by shaking her head violently. Unfortunately for her, Chrono is to strong for her to move her head if he doesn't want her too. He shifted to his true form and over the next few minutes stared her down until, finally, she lowered herself to the floor. When Chrono released her muzzle her head dipped to the ground, but instead of releasing her gaze he called the others over to stand around him.
Taking Rosette's hand as she came up beside him Chrono guided her to stand in front of him and placed his hands on her hips. He stepped forward so that their bodies were pressed against each other's and cupped his wings around as he nuzzled her neck. Rosette blushed scarlet, but she sensed that what he was doing he needed to do because of the dragon, so she leaned back against him and rested her head against his.
Understanding what her friend was doing Shader wrapped her arms around Sebastian and pressed against him. Taking a cue from his brother he shifted to his true form and brought his red-gold wings up and nuzzled her neck.
Calmly, Chrono projected Ctanna, Helen, Joshua and Azmaria standing in the group with them and made it very clear who they were related to and what their role in the group is. Then as he projected an image of his father with the clear message that he is his father, but that he is also the enemy.
Reluctantly, Chrono and Sebastian let go of Rosette and Shader.
The dragon shifted to a smaller form and carefully crept forward. When no one opposed her she came to stand next too Chrono who shifted to his Humanized form and bent down, offering his arm. She climbed up it to rest happily on his shoulder as he straightened out and scanned the entire school with his mind. She had laid a clutch a while ago, but all the eggs were dead and she knew it. He silently prayed that she would find a mate so that she wouldn't have to go through that heartache again.
At a sigh from Remington the others turned to look at the blond Minister who gave them a lopsided smile.
"It seems that my earlier narrative took a bit longer then I thought it would; it's eight a clock. You guys should head home. Your parents have probably called out the national guard by now."
"Well," Chrono said with an appreciative smile, "They wouldn't have just yet, but they're probably pretty close by now."
They all headed towards the nearest exit.
"Hey, Shader can I ask you a question...?" Genai asked as they left the pool area.
"Let me guess," She said, giving him a knowing smile, "What was Chrono doing with Rosette? The same thing Sebastian was doing with me. Making it clear that he and Rosette are an item."
"Ah... Why?"
"Whom is coupled with whom is very important to a dragon entering a new group."
"Oh. Okay..."
The silence stretched as they walked through the deserted halls.
"I still don't get it..."
She giggled.
A/N: Sorry for the really long paragraphs... Anyway, as always, please review and tell me what you think!
