A/N: Chapter number… wait a minute… ah, its chapter number 11 enjoy (Or at least pretend to do so -.-)
The next morning was grey and rainful. Rosette wanted to visit Chrono, just to check up on him, she almost couldn't fall asleep because she was worried about him.
She dressed into a pair of long jeans and a long sleeved V-neck after a nice shower; she ate breakfast and then pulled on her long raincoat. Then she walked out the door and towards the bus stop. The bus was a little late, but at least she didn't get too wet.
"I wonder if I can remember the place where I shall get out" she thought and looked out the window to look after something familiar.
She then noticed a house she had seen just before she and Chrono got out.
As soon as the bus was gone, she started walking down the rainy street "His house must be one of those" she told herself and walked in through a garden gate. A little sign on the door said it was Chrono Sinner's house "I found it" she said with a smile and knocked on the door.
She waited patiently for Chrono to open the door up, but nothing happened. She tried one more time, still nothing though. Then she pulled lightly at the door and noticed it was open. She opened the door a bit and peeked inside "Chrono?" she called, but no answer "Strange… he shouldn't let the door open if he isn't at hom-" she was suddenly interrupted by a loud agonizing scream.
She gasped and jerked her face away from the door opening "What the…" she panted, trying to get over the shock, then she again leaned forward and opened the door further "C-Chrono? Is everything okay?" she called and entered the door.
She closed the door after her and turned around just to see Nyx run by her and up the stairs that were beside the front door "Something strange is going on here…" she thought and started walking towards the living room door "Chrono?" there was still no answer.
Suddenly she stopped midstep and froze "Oh my God…" she clamped her hands in front of her mouth when she looked at the floor. There were big blood stains covering the carpet and she feared the worst "Chrono…" she called, this time much louder and ran into the living room. There was no one there though. She looked around the room, then noticed that the bloodstains were leading back out from the living room and towards the bathroom.
She hurried over and knocked on the door "Chrono… are you in there, please say something" she called panicking "Chrono are you hurt?" she pulled in the door, it was open.
She looked in through the door and saw Chrono on the floor, his hands were on his head and he panted, his whole body shivering "Oh God Chrono… what happened to you?" she asked and fell to her knees beside him, pulling him into her arms.
His shivering ceased a bit at the warmth from her. She examined him for wounds, but the blood seemed to come from his temples, even though there was nothing like a wound in that place. His shirt was ripped to pieces on the back, but nothing else seemed to be wrong with him.
"Chrono…" she whispered "Chrono… what happened to you?" she pulled him tighter into her hug and helped him to his feet. After that she helped him into the living room and onto the couch.
When he lay down, she brushed his bangs away from his temples to examine it, he had fallen asleep as soon as he had been laid down. There were no wounds at all, but it was all full of blood "How can the blood be there if he isn't hurt?" she asked herself in a low voice.
She stood and headed towards the kitchen to get some water and a towel. She wanted to clean him from the blood.
When she got back into the living room, she saw Chrono had opened his eyes "Chrono?" she asked silently and sat down beside the couch. He looked up at her with half lidded eyes "R-Rosette…" he whispered with a weary voice "Shh… just relax… what happened to you?" she asked and started to dab off the blood.
He sighed deeply and closed his eyes "I… I don't know…" he replied "I… I suddenly felt this sharp pain, then everything went black…" he told her "I can't tell you what it is though"
Chrono knew the reason for the pain, he just didn't know why it happened now.
"I'll stay here for today… you don't have to be alone" she told him and washed out the blood of the towel, before dabbing some more blood from his face "You're not hurt?" she asked him concerned, but he shook his head "No, it's okay now" he smiled and thanked her "I really owe you one Rosette" he said, but she replied with a no "You were the one that helped me in the first place Chrono, I was the one owing you one"
He looked up at her and smiled, but it faded away when he remembered the last evening "Rosette? I… " she hushed him though "Sleep for a while Chrono, I'll be cleaning away the blood okay?"
He sighed and then nodded. She smiled and disappeared through the door with the bloody towel and the water "Just tell me if you need anything" she said over her shoulder and was then gone.
He let another sigh escape his lips, before he closed his eyes "I have to tell her once… I have to…" he whispered, just before he slowly fell asleep.
Rosette watched him once in a while and kept an eye on him. She got everything cleaned up and then she went into the kitchen to make lunch.
Nyx appeared in the door meowing loudly "Hello sweetie" Rosette said "Hungry?" the black cat rubbed against her leg, meowing even louder. Rosette chuckled "Here ya go sweetie" she cooed when the cat purred and started eating.
She brought the food into the living room and set it on the table. She looked at Chrono's sleeping form, he still had some blood in his hair, he had to wash it out himself as soon as he felt well enough.
His long purple hair was hanging down from the couch edge and onto the floor. She found a blanket and draped it over him, a warm look in her eyes "You have done so much for me…" she whispered "Now it's my turn"
Nyx came into the living room as well, licking his mouth before he used his paw to clean his face. After the grooming, he jumped onto the couch and lay down on Chrono's stomach, purring silently as if afraid to wake him up "You're worried too aren't you Nyx?" Rosette whispered, then walked back into the kitchen.
She decided to stay the whole day, maybe even stay for the night, just to make sure he was alright.
She was still wondering about all the blood and no wounds, how was that possible? She couldn't find an answer on that "Like I said, I'll keep an eye on him…" she said, then prepared lunch at the couch table (Is it called that? -.-)
She would make Chrono relax today, no matter what happened.
