Eeeps! Sorry I was late (again)... I'll try to be better about this, really... -bow- (Thank you to all you people who R&R! I love you!)
But setting all aside, there WILL be romance in this story. Sooner then later. As I, like it or not, am a huge sap. . ;

Chapter 4
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The sky was littered with stars, the sliver of a moon shone directly ahead in the sky above her, guiding her way towards the house at the end of the road.
The funny thing about running away from home… Rosette thought, walking along the deserted street; is that you never realize things until you're out of the house.
Indeed, as Rosette walked, she realized that she had forgotten her watch. And what if Chrno wasn't at the house at all? Rosette let out a sigh and whispered a quiet "Sheesh…" but trudged on through the night.
- Chrno's P.O.V. -
He could feel the girl coming towards the house, and he waited at the window until he could make out her small silhouette against the night sky.
There was a breeze coming in through the open window, carrying her sent. Chrno took in a quick breath, feeling it catch in his throat.
What is she doing?
There was something strange about this girl, something that drew him to her. Made him want her. He felt the need to be at her side, looking at her, touching her... Chrno blinked the thoughts away. She was standing on the pathway to the house, panting from the walk and the heavy night air.
In seconds he was behind her, saying her name. She whirled, surprised at first, then relieved.
"Oh, Chrno... good."
His ears twitched. Good? " Is something wrong?" Rosette looked troubled, a frown furrowing her delicate brow.
"Umm..." She let out a small tentative laugh and scratched the back of her head. "I really don't know."
Chrno reached out to her, then jerked his hand back. Pain stabbed through his chest, causing him to gasp and fall to his knees.
- Rosette's P.O.V. -
"Chrno!" Rosette cried, crouching down next to him and steadying the demon with her small hands. He coughed and wheezed, gasping for air. "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing," He choked out when he had caught his breath. "It's just... this world." He stood up, pulling Rosette with him. "Now that I've left the house were I was imprisoned, I can no longer survive here... Not anymore."
Rosette reached out and tenderly brushed the hair out of his face. Looking into the Demons eyes, a thought struck her.
Yes.
It was crazy. But... What did she have left in this world? Not much, that she was sure of. What would she do if Chrno left? Could she fall back into her life without knowing him? She only had one choice now.
"I'll come with you."
Chrno's mouth fell open, and he locked his surprised eyes with hers. "No." He replied, firmly shaking his head. "I cant."
"But you're going somewhere out of this world, right?" She begged, grasping his hand. Chrno tugged it away.
"It is the world of demons, Rosette!" He growled. "It would not be safe for..." He stopped. "For you."
The blond teen crossed her arms and frowned. "For me, huh? And you just expect to leave me here in the middle of the night? No were to go? That's so much better." Her gaze softened, and she uncrossed her arms. "Chrno... There's nothing left for me here." Her voice was gentile and slow, making him turn to face her.
Chrno let out a sigh, running a hand through his hair. "Rosette... Alright."
Her heart skipped a beat, and she beamed at him. "Yes! Oh, Chrno!" The girl threw her arms around him, brimming with joy.
He sighed, a blush creeping across his cheeks at the feel of her body against his. "Lets go."
Heh heh... It might have been short AND late, but it was sexy. I'm still pulling myself over the great "Beginning Hump"... But soon I'll add more charies, and some actual -cough- plot -cough cough-.
Rosette: Man... Talk about Bipolar personality... I start out like some kind of walking parody, and now I'm a sissy freak? Were my depth!
Chrno: -blushing- Actually... I kinda liked the part were you threw your arms around me... Heh heh...
Rosette: Chrnoooo... -boiling point-
Anyhow, you know the drill! Read and Review, all that jazz.
Oh, and to all those saps out there... I'll fit sex into this story if it kills me.
Amen.
