Disclaimer: uhnnnn so...tired….dont own Chrno Crusade or characters…that sucks

Note: If you guys all hate Keith…that's the whole point. Good job…if you despise him with all of your heart…I will make him more hateful in the future –grins-

Note II: It's Keith. K-E-I-T-H! I'm seeing the weirdest ways of spelling the name and I am a spelling nazi. Seriously. (That's what my friends call me anyway)

Sorryy...its so short

"Geez, Chrno you're so slow!" Chrno and Rosette walked through the parking lot of an unmarked, brick building. It was very sunny today and school would have been half over by now. While Rosette walked ahead, her guitar slung over her shoulder, Chrno's mind drifted to the entries he had read earlier.

I wonder if he's nicer to her now?

This 'brother' that she has now sounds nice though.

"CHRNOOOO!" A sudden holler straight into his ear startled Chrno. His ears still ringing, he growled at Rosette.

"What did you do THAT for?" he yelled.

"You weren't paying attention!"

"Really, Rosette, why are you always picking fights. You're lucky I don't get angered easily…"

"Oh really? Should I consider that to be my new goal?" she smirked, and opened the door for the two of them.

"Ah…" he gave up, and followed her in.

"Ohh you're going to love our bandmembers. I never told you about Dave. He's my brother and he's the drummer. Then there's Nick who's the other guitarist, next to me. I also sing with Keith…"

"Yeah…I know."

"What was that?"

"Um-uh…I said that I was-"

Rosette cut him off.

"Ah! Dave! I was just telling Chrno about you!" A young man walked up, almost white hair with dark eyes. He had on a genuine smile and when he walked up, Rosette gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Chrno?" he inquired after greeting his sister.

"Yeah. I was telling you about him but you obviously don't listen. He's my neighbor in that apartment building I just moved into. He's pretty cool." She winked at the just mentioned neighbor.

"Nice to meet you…Dave?" he shook his hand.

"Heh, welcome to our humble band. Well, soon we won't be." He spread his arms out to show the empty stage. It took up the whole room, which took up the whole building.

The three walked up the stairs that led to the stage and looked at all of the seats in front of them.

"Wow…" said Chrno, his voice echoing around the large room. A sound from the farther side of the room caught their attention.

A dark boy with a guitar walked in. He quietly walked through the seats and up the side steps to where they were.

Rosette walked up to him.

"Nick! This is Chrno, my new neighbor from that place I just moved to." Nick looked up, gave a little wave to Chrno and went backstage to do something. (Whatever that was)

Rosette shrugged, then smiled walking towards Chrno.

"We'll be here for about an hour or two." You can stay or just walk around. There's not really much to see." Then she walked away to set up with the other guys.

Chrno smiled at her retreating back and walked down the stairs to walk around the seating area.

The ceiling was very high, and his footsteps echoed all around. Other than that, like Rosette said, there wasn't much to see.

Where did I put that diary anyway?...

He felt around in his coat pocket to see if he had shoved it in there. No luck. Then he remembered:

Short Flashback

"Chrno!!! Where are you? I have to go now and you're coming with me!!" he heard her knocking at the door, and shoved the diary under the covers of his bed.

End Short Flashback

Ah, so he had put it under the blanket of his bed. Oh well. Looked like he had nothing to read now.

Chrno continued to walk around, a bit towards the entrance. He decided to step outside since it was so stuffy in the stageroom.

"Rosette!" he called, his voice bouncing off the walls.

"Yeah?" she called back from backstage.

"I'm going to outside for a minute!"

"Mmk! We'll be another 10 minutes. We're just waiting for Keith!"

He started for the door after her reply, and just as he was about to turn the knob to leave the room, it opened to reveal Keith, himself.

His eyes narrowed at Chrno and he scowled, causing Chrno to frown. Keith pointed a finger at him.

"What the heck are you doing here?"

Christ…that was TERRIBLY short…oh geez oh geez…meh I'm too tired, maybe I'll spend the whole day updating tomorrow…(can't promise anything) So yeah thanks for your patience…-sweatdrops-

Note III: This is a chapter to basically start a "mini" cliff-hanger, and introduce the band members …I also wanted to remind everyone where the diary was…(hinhint?)

Holy crap not like that you perverts!!

(or maybe I was just thinking that…yeah I'm rambling here aren't I?...I need sleep -.-)

You know what I'm gunna ask for: reviews can be: ideas, suggestions, and praise for my writing accepted….(last part not really serious )
