Thanks to Shadowed Mist, MoonlightsPath, Tsukiyume-Yue, and Agent Kuma-Chan for reviewing! By the way, I've re-done the 'E' chapter because I wasn't very happy with the first edition. Please take a look back at the new chapter. Thank you.
S-Stars:
"Come on!" Rosette said as she grabbed Chrno's thin wrists and tugged him along harshly. "It's going to start any time now!"
"I'm coming, Rosette!" Chrno replied as the couple moved over a dirt path.
They trekked through a rather deserted forest area, the bright moon the only real light supplying light. It reminded the demon of the playground he, Rosette, and Joshua would play all day away on day just miles from the orphanage. The blonde brought him to the middle of a large field and sat down on the grass.
"I can't wait for it to start!" Rosette cocked her head up and stared up at the night sky.
"…Yeah."
Chrno followed suit and gazed up at the wondrous night sky. Silver pinpricks littered the dark blue sky, each one brighter then the next with the moon hovering in the far east side of the sky, near a gathering of mountains. From what Rosette had heard in the local town, there was said to be a marvelous falling star shower around one in the morning, far past the time they usually were up. Rosette insisted on seeing it with him, and who was he to object? So around twelve thirty they sunk out of the hotel the four were staying at and departed for a field where Rosette promised they would get 'the best view'.
"Chrno, sit! It's starting!" The Nun patted the grassy spot beside her with a bright smile on her face.
He sat down on the grass and laid down flat on his back. Inhaling through his nostrils, he closed his eyes for a moment and took in the surrounding noises. Crickets chirped in the background as the sounds of a far off running river caused a feeling of relaxation to flow through him. But as his demon hearing picked up on many things a human never would, he found one noise that made his heart beat a little faster.
Rosette's breathing.
With a slight blush crossing his cheeks, Chrno opened his eyes and rather then watching the star shower he gazed over at the young woman and observed her. She looked so excited with her blue eyes locked on the night sky and her lips parted in awe. Starlight bounced off of her skin, giving her skin a beautiful glow he had never seen before.
Oh yes, that was the face of the woman he loved.
"Chrno?"
Snapping from his thoughts, he blinked and realized the blonde looking at him, one her eyebrows raised higher then the other. He chuckled and turned his attention back to the show of falling stars.
"Something wrong, Chrno?"
"No." He shook his head and lifted his arms behind his head. Forming a cup by interlacing his fingers, he rested the back of his head on his fingers and closed his eyes for a long minute. "I'm fine."
A content smile came over Chrno's face as he reopened his eyes and gazed at the star riddled sky. Just fine.
R&R please!
