Lina: This will be a two part fic. Hence the long chapter. I like it, hope you do too! Please let me know!

Chrono: 'Bout time you started a fic.

Lina: Yeah, I know, school and work get in the way of that. But do not worry, will have lots more for you!

Chrono's Fears

Chrono turned in his sleep. A sleep that was disturbed by nightmares. Scenes from the past, but things that he did not experience, and did not like. He woke up screaming.

"Chrono, is something wrong?" A tired Rosette, only wearing her underwear, next to him, asked, getting up a little and rubbing her eyes. Chrono realized where he was and shook the sweat off his face. Rosette put a hand on his shoulder, which had a huge scar running down it, and his back. His horns were still the same, but his hair was shorter, only down to the middle of his back. He shook off her hand.

"Sorry, I… have to get out for awhile, figure things out," Chrono replied. Rosette was puzzled at this, but let him have his space. This was their relationship that they had now, they understood one another, knew what eachother's needs were, or so they thought.

Chrono got dressed, normal red cloak, new brown boots and pants. He walked out of the room, down the hall of the convent, and down the stairs. He sat down on the couch in the main room and stared at the fire that was still burning a little.

"Rosette, I love you," that voice still haunted him, it was not his voice, it was of his old friend turned enemy. Chrono shuttered and held the sides of his head.

"Chrono? Can't sleep?" It was Az's voice asking him this question. He turned his head to see her standing there. It's been five years, she looked more mature than ever before. He blinked, held his head and shook it. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, it's nothing really. I just…" he could not continue. Tears just filled his eyes and overflowed right away. He turned from Az, so that she would not see this. Tears from a devil? How can it be possible? Aion, that is how.

"Damn it!" Chrono thought. Az put a hand on his shoulder as she came around the side of the couch to sit down next to him. He turned to her, still tears falling, he threw himself into her arms, not controlling his emotions like he normally did. Az was surprised at this, of course. This was Chrono, even though he seemed innocent, he was still a devil.

"Shh. It will be all right," Az whispered. Chrono shook his head as Az patted his back.

"No, I… know what… Aion did to her. She was under a spell… but still…" Chrono backed up and turned his head away. Az was even more shocked to hear this. "Chrono, Az, what are you two doing up? It's late," a tired Rosette asked, rubbing her eyes. Chrono quickly wiped away the remaining tears, Az had almost started to cry when he stood up.

"Uh… sorry, could not sleep. Az and I were just talking about a party we were going to have," he replied, back to her.

"We were?" Az asked, Chrono turned to her and glared. "Oh! Oh yeah, for Sister Kate's birthday that's coming up, that's right!" Az said, rather exitedly.

"Well, we should continue the planning tomorrow," Chrono stated, turning to Rosette finally and smiling. Az also smiled, relieved that Chrono might be okay after all. She left, yawning. Chrono sat back down, and Rosette sat next him, he looked down.

"Tell me what's wrong, you two weren't seriously planning a party for Sister Kate, were you?" Rosette asked. Chrono winced, seeing flashes of Aion stroking Rosette.

"I… can't explain it to you now," Chrono stated, standing up. Rosette went over to him, put her arms around his waist and pulled him close. His eyes widened. Rosette squeezed a little, Chrono put a hand on her arms, looked down and said,

"I… I know what happened between you and Aion, what he… did to you. I can't stand it! It's too much…" he trailed off. Rosette let go, almost making him fall.

"How did you find out?" She asked, eyes covered in shadow.

"I think… it's because Joshua wore my horns before. He must have seen what happened…" Chrono said, falling on his knees, tears almost forming in his eyes again.

"Do you… hate me?" She asked. Chrono stood up quickly, and turned to her.

"Of course not! Aion manipulated you! How could you think that I could hate you? I love you, Rosette. It hurts me that you were hurt in that way. I could never, ever hate you. I love you and always will love you," Chrono explained. Now tears filled both his and her eyes.

"I love you too," Rosette stated. They moved in close and kissed. Little did they know that Az, Ewan, and Sister Kate were all watching from behind a corner. They went into the room next door.

"That's not right, a devil and a human, together? What is Rosette thinking?" Sister Kate asked. Ewan smiled.

"She's not. She's in love. Whoever it is, even if it's a devil, it's the right person for her," he stated as he sat on the couch. Az looked at the ceiling.

"I wonder if I'll find that one person," she thought.

"I know a certain sister who's birthday is coming up and would like to take her away for a weekend," Ewan said, blushing a little. Sister Kate turned bright red. Az laughed a little.

Lina: Sister Kate's bday coming up! Yay! Never did a birthday in a chrono fic so I thought I'd do her's, since she is getting up there. lol

Sister Kate: (Throws chalk board eraser at lina)

Lina: Okay! I'm sorry! don't ask her age though, she'll get angry. Well, gtg I'll have the next chappie up soon. Left it in a weird spot I know. Ja ne!
