I don't own Chrno Crusade.

Thanks to Misogirl, Jazzy Uchiha and Squirrily-chan for reviewing!

I'm so sorry I haven't updated in a while! I've been sick and working on two new Chrno Crusade fics I plan to post soon. Anyways, I hope this makes up for my absence!

Enjoy!


G-Ginger Snap:

Cooking was something Chrno hadn't done much of. On Eden, Fiore either Rizelle did the cooking which left the rest of the men to sit around and joke about things or plan their next movement. But when Chrno and Rosette began living in the Order, Chrno began doing things he had never done before.

Elder's lab had a mixture of many things. Normally the lab was used for science, but once a month Elder would allow the Nuns to cook something in the large kitchen in the very back of the lab. The reason the Nuns used that kitchen instead of the one within the Order came to be when they ran out of food one day and discovered Elder's kitchen could hold more food.

But one Chrno decided that it was time to cook something for Rosette in order to repay her for everything she had done.

He looked through out the large kitchen for a cook book but instead found a small box filled with recipes that had been written on index cards. He picked out one that he thought looked simple: ginger snaps. The handwriting on the index card was a bit hard to read, but Chrno made well of it and began to cook the best he could. A half an hour after he started, Chrno finished his cookies and asked Elder to bring Rosette over. Just before sundown, Rosette showed up with a smile on her face.

"Elder said that you wanted to see me," Rosette said. "So what is it?"

Chrno coughed as a light blush crossed his face. "I made something for you."

She blinked, a bit confused. "What?"

He motioned with his right hand for her to follow him into the kitchen. They walked into the kitchen as one and over to the large table in the middle of the room.

"Where is it?" Rosette as she looked around the room.

Chrno stepped into the nearby kitchen and grabbed the basket he had placed his ginger snaps in. He carried the basket back into the dining room and sat the basket down in front of Rosette.

"It's in there," Chrno said.

"Oh." Rosette blushed. "…Thank you?"

"Look at it."

Rosette removed the red towel from the top of the basket and spotted the cookies. Her blush deepened and she did her best to ignore the burning feeling within the bottom of her stomach. She reached down, grabbed a cookie, and took a bite out of the corner only to discover that the cookie had a very bitter taste to it.

"Well?" Chrno asked as he leaned in towards her.

She chewed the piece as quickly as she could and swallowed. "I-It's…good."

He smiled. "Good. I was worried that I had done something wrong."

"Nope." Rosette took another bite. "Nothin' wrong with these at all."

Telling Chrno the truth would, most likely, hurt his feelings and that was the last thing Rosette wanted to do, especially after Chrno had done so sweet.


R&R please!
