I don't own Chrno Crusade or any of its characters.

Thank you to MisoGirl for reviewing! It's nice to know that someone is reading this! . Anyways, I should have mentioned that these drabbles start from when Rosette is young with Chrno, and travel through the fights with Aion, following the manga not the anime.

Enjoy!


C-Candy

Candy had a strange but likeable taste to it, at least to Chrno anyway. He had never had candy before, until the first day he met Rosette and Joshua. At that time he took the candy just because Rosette had offered it out of trust and curiosity. The sweet taste of caramel came into his mouth and forever stayed in his mouth. After that meeting, Rosette would bring more candy for the three of them, but Chrno often ended up eating them all.

It was that simple taste of caramel that would forever remind Chrno of Rosette and all of the good times he shared with her. Sometimes during the late night Chrno would wish for a single piece of caramel candy…or was it Rosette he was wishing for? When that thought would cross his mind, Chrno would look up into the night sky and remember the story of the Astral Line he had told her and Joshua not too long ago. The smiles across their faces made Chrno's day but the smile on Rosette's face made it easy to sleep at night.

Now, in the cold night Chrno wished he had a piece of caramel candy. Or at least Rosette's warm smile and laugh to keep him warm. He considered making some sort of shelter, but that would require more energy then he wanted to use. So instead of building, he rested his back against the forest ground and looked towards the night sky.

The other candy Rosette had brought was a blue colored candy with a taste Chrno didn't care much for. That type of candy was sitting in the bottom of his pocket, still in its multicolored wrapper. Now that it came to Chrno's mind, he took it out of his pocket and began to unwrap it.

The candy inside was hard to see in the dark night, but Chrno knew what color it was. He moved his right arm into the sky and moved the blue candy in front of the brightest star. The star's light penetrated the thick candy and gave off a strange, distorted star with a light blue color to Chrno's eyes.

Chrno chucked to himself. The color of the white star through the blue candy had changed to the same color as Rosette's eyes. Those eyes that always looked so happy and content. Those eyes that he never wanted to see tears in and would do anything to make sure that they never had tears in them. Those wonderful eyes that held no secrets but instead told the world a wondrous, unfinished story without prejudice towards anyone. A story that in all his years of living, Chrno would never grow tired of hearing. Chrno looked into the candy as a smile crossed his face, but increased a longing in his heart to see Rosette again.

Perhaps tomorrow. Chrno told himself. If the weather is good.

"Rosette," he whispered to the candy. "I can't wait to see you again."
