Chrono Crusade Fan Fiction ❯ The Heart Within ❯ Team Mates ( Chapter 1 )

Disclaimer: I hold no ownership over Chrono Crusade, even though I wish I did. Chrono “Sinner” is Kawaii and Hot! ^__~

 

 

(A/N: Hi everyone this is my first Chrono Crusade story, I'm sure some of you have read my InuYasha stories or maybe even a few of my Rurouni Kenshin ones. I know I have tons of stories already, but this one just wouldn't leave me alone, like so many others.)

 

 

Summary: After bumming up another assignment, again. Rosette and Chrono find themselves teamed up with another exorcist team of the Magdalene Order. Once teamed up with the seasoned Exorcists, Rosette and Chrono find out more about themselves, as well as the past of their new friends.

 

 

Pairings: Chrono/Rosette, ErosOC/PatienceOC

 

 

(A/N 2: One more note, since I own both Patience and Eros. I decide to cast actors to do their voices. Patience's voice will be done by Laura Bailey, if you've seen Fruits Basket, Kiddy Grade or Yu Yu Hakusho you know who I'm taking about. Eros's voice was harder to decide on, it was a tie between Eric Vale and Vic Mignogna. Eric Vale has done voices on Fruits Basket, Blue Gender, Dragonball GT and Kiddy Grade. Sadly the only work I know that Vic has done is the voice of Dark on D.N. Angel. However, the one to get the part in the end was Vic Mignogna. I wanted Eros to be the opposite sounding of Chrono and Vic does it in my mind. Enjoy the story guys.)

Hidden Feelings

 

 

Chapter 1: Team Mates

By Tainted InuShemeeko

 

 

 

 

“ROSETTE! How could you do it again? You once again destroyed another building. What do I have to do to get through to you?”

 

 

Rosette looked down at the floor as Sister Kate continued to scream at her.

 

 

“It's not like I planned for anything like that to happen Sister Kate, I really didn't.”

 

 

Sister Kate merely sighed as she placed a hand to her forehead.

 

 

“Whether or not you planned it doesn't matter. The fact is that it happened again. In which case it leaves me with no choice, something will have to be done about that assistant of yours.”

 

 

Rosette's blue eyes widened at the sister's words.

 

 

“What! No, I've told you it wasn't Chrono's fault. It was my fault, if I hadn't rushed in then it would have never…”

 

 

Her words were cut off as Sister Kate continued to speak.

 

 

“That is precisely why I no longer can see a reason for Chrono to be your partner. As soon as it can be arranged, the seal will be locked away to where no one can find it.”

 

 

 

This only angered Rosette more; no she just couldn't let Sister Kate do that to Chrono. No she just couldn't let that happen to him.

 

 

 

“No, you can't do that to him. He hasn't done anything; you just can't be that cruel to him.”

 

 

The soft gently voice of Father Remington, broke through Rosette and Sister Kate's conversation.

 

 

“I however, have a completely different proposition. I suggest that we team both Rosette and Chrono with two of our most experienced exorcist team. In fact they have already been called, and will be here within a few hours I believe, that is as soon as they finish up the case they are working on. ”

 

 

Father Remington watched as Rosette deflated a little before speaking to her once again.

 

 

 

“You know Rosette; you should really meet them before you judge them. It is my belief that they will surprise you more then you think. They may even teach you a little more about yourself.”

 

 

Rosette's voice was soft and barely audible as she spoke to Father Remington.

 

 

 

“Yes, Sir you're right. May I be excused?”

 

 

Father Remington gave her a gentle smile as he nodded.

 

 

 

“Why of course you can.”

 

 

Rosette bowed to Sister Kate and then to Father Remington as she left the room.

Sister Kate opened her eyes as she lifted her head up, to look at Father Remington. Her voice remained quiet and steady as she spoke to Remington.

 

 

 

“Are you sure that it is a good idea to team the four of them together. I mean we did manage to keep a secret from the counsel. If they come here to assist Rosette and Chrono the counsel will not be please to know that they weren't informed of him.”

 

 

 

Father Remington kneaded his chin as he gave it some thought.

 

 

 

“You are right of course, but I can think of no one else to aid Rosette and Chrono other then them. Besides like I said before I've already asked them to come it would be rather rude if I called and told them not to come, now wouldn't it?”

 

 

 

Sister Kate just sighed as she looked at Remington.

 

 

 

“As you wish Father, I just hope you know what you are doing.”

 

 

Remington turned toward the door to leave when a thought came to him.

 

 

`So do I Sister Kate, so do I.'

“Well hey there Rosette. So how did things go with Sister Kate?”

 

 

Chrono's ruby eyes widened when he noticed the deflated look on Rosette's face.

 

 

“Rosette, what's wrong, what happened?”

 

 

Rosette was silence for a moment, before bursting into tears and false anguish.

 

 

“Sister Kate and Father Remington are making us pair up with another Exorcist team. It's just not fair, it's not like I plan on all the terrible things that happen when I go on a mission to happen. So why does it always happen to me, why?”

 

 

Chrono's soft gently voice did its best to offer comfort the weeping sister as she leaned against him.

 

 

“Aw, don't cry Rosette, I'm sure everything will be fine. Things usually work themselves out in the end you know.”

 

 

Azmaria the young apostle smiled brightly at Rosette.

 

 

“Yes, Chrono is right. This doesn't mean that it is a bad thing. It just means that we will have a chance to make new friends.”

 

 

A few minutes later, Azmaria's soft voice broke through the stiff silence.

 

 

“Um, Rosette you don't have an idea of what our new partners, might be like do you?”

 

 

Rosette was silence for a moment before speaking glumly to Azmaria.

 

 

“No I haven't a clue; the only thing I do know is that they will be here in a few hours as soon as they finish up a case they were working.”

 

 

The little group soon went silence as the next few minutes ticked by.

 

 

While else were two exorcist were fighting for their lives.

 

88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 8888888888

 

 

As the grey hazy smoke cleared, the figure of what appeared to be a young boy of the age eleven or twelve could be seen. The moving air that was caused by an exposition, whipped the boy's long thick mahogany hair behind him. It also blew the shorter pieces that framed the front of his face away, which then revealed two startled and panicked violet eyes.

 

 

“Patience, look out behind you!”

 

 

The devil's violet eyes widened as he watched a woman with long curly lilac colored hair slam into the ground.

 

 

“Patience!”

 

 

The woman, who had been knocked to the ground, cocked the trigger on her .45 and then fired. The devil that had attacked her screamed in pain as it shook its massive head; the two sacred bullets that she had fired at the devil didn't seem to phase it. Noticing the danger she was in as the massive devil closed the distance in between them, she screamed over at her assistant.

 

 

 

“Eros tossed me one of those hymnal bullets!”

 

 

The boy with the long mahogany hair and violet eyes or devil as it seemed, couldn't believe what he was hearing. His gentle voice rose just a bit as he yelled above the noise that the massive devil was making.

 

 

“What, are you nuts Patience! Those bullets haven't been tested yet. We're not even sure if they work.”

 

 

The lilac colored haired woman then narrowed her dark green eyes at Eros.

 

 

“I know that Eros, but if we don't give them a try. You'll be taking me to the New York Branch of the Order of Magdalene in pieces. So which one do you like better? Though it's not like you have a lot of time to decide so make it quick.”

 

 

“Anytime now, Eros get a wiggle on and do something quick.”

 

 

 

The panicked devil looked quickly over at his partner, who was in distress. Part of him wanted to laugh out in sarcasm, however he thought better of it.

 

 

`She may be soft spoken at times; however she always manages to get herself in trouble. Then again that was how we met.'

 

 

Hearing Patience's soft voice begin to sound panicked as she screamed his name once more Eros quickly turned his attention back to her.

 

 

“Eros, hurry up and do something!”

 

 

“Right, heads up Patience.”

 

 

Patience's dark green eyes watched as a golden hymnal bullet flipped through the air. She caught it as she rolled away from the devil that was still trying to eat her. Her lilac hair hung behind her as her eyes drifted quickly over to Eros.

 

 

“Eros, hit the ground now and stay down and everything will be jake. I promise you.”

 

 

The violet eyed devil widened his eyes as Patience loaded her .45 and fired the mystical bullet point blank at the devil. It was then that he realized that Patience was murmuring a prayer of some kind.

 

 

“Oh father, please watch over these lambs and guide them safely home.”

 

 

“Patience, what in all calamity are you doing? It's suicidal to fire a spiritual bullet at such a range, especially when it hasn't been tested yet!”

 

 

The soft gently sister only smiled as she readied herself to fire her gun.

 

 

“I know you're a devil Eros, but how about a little bit of faith in me.”

 

 

Eros swallowed hard as he threw his body to the ground and did his best to shield himself from the blast.

 

 

`I do have faith in you Patience. It's just that you've been hurt so much already; I do want to see you get hurt anymore. Is that really wrong of me?'

 

 

He squeezed his eyes shut as a blinding white light envelope him, suddenly at first he was sure that his whole body was going to be denigrated by the holy spiritual energy that was being given off by that single hymnal bullet.

 

 

After what seemed to be several hours, which in reality was only a couple of minutes, Eros slowly started to pull himself up from the ground. He coughed and sneezed a few times as dust drifted up his nose and then into his lungs. His voice was some what strangled as he called out to Patience.

 

 

*cough, cough*

 

 

“Patience where are you? Are you ok? Answer me.”

 

 

After a moment and the dust debris started to clear from the air, Eros took in his surroundings as he started to look for his female contractor. From what he could tell there was nothing left of the large devil, however it wasn't the lacking of pieces of the destroyed devil that bothered him. As much as the small to medium skid mark in the ground did, not being able to find Patience anywhere only meant one thing. Patience had been the one who had made the skid mark, which only increased his worry for her.

 

 

“There is no way that this is jake. I have a bad feeling about this, something that I'm not going to like; when I find her.”

 

 

`There's no way I'm going to leave her. I made I promise to her and I intend on keeping it.'

 

 

Pulling in a breath Eros started to walk in the direction that the skid mark had taken. The three long tails on his blue jacket flapped in the wind as his pace picked up at the slight smell of blood. The smell of blood no matter how much always worried him, because it always meant one thing, Patience was hurt and needed him.

 

 

`Just a minute longer Patience I'm almost there. Just hang in there till I get to you.'

 

 

Eros's breath froze in his throat at the sight that he came upon. With her back against the trunk of a huge oak, her arms were spread out and away from her body; her head was bowed with her lilac colored hair hiding her face from view. Once seeing the condition that Patience was in Eros hurried to her side, his voice became softer as he spoke to her.

 

 

 

“Patience, Patience can you hear me?”

 

 

His violet eyes made a quick pass over Patience still form, to take an innovatory of the wounds that she had received from the huge devil as well as from the explosion from the hymnal bullet. The dark blue fabric of her Order of Magdalene dress, was torn and ripped on the long sleeves, the long skirt had a four inch vertical tear in it. Small scratches marred the soft skin of her small slender legs.

 

 

If Eros hadn't thought better of it he would have thought that the devil had tried to take advantage of her. His soft amethyst eyes quickly fell on the large pocket like watch that hung around her neck. Reaching out with an unsteady hand, Eros wiped the small layer of dust away from the front of it. He let out a sigh of relief as he saw that it was still half way full, it wasn't dark and was still filled with light and life.

 

 

He did his best to hide how scared he still was for her as he softly spoke to her once more. However each time he spoke her name and she refused to answer him. Panic slowly started to seep into his normally calm voice.

 

 

“Patience can you hear me? Wake up Patience. Patience answer, me please.”

 

 

Eros's worried eyes brightened a little bit as a small groan came from Patience's direction. He then watched as she slowly lifted her head, moaning as she did so. Eros tried once more to get Patience's attention.

 

 

“Patience are you all right? How do you feel?”

 

 

Blinking her eyes Patience slowing opened her deep emerald eyes to look up at Eros. A small smile on her lips as she did so.

 

 

“See didn't I tell you everything work be jake.”

 

 

Eros shook his head as he looked at her, she was really something. There are times that he wonders how he made it with out knowing someone like her. Yet when he does that it only bring back painful memories of the past. His thoughts were broken into, when he heard a gasp come from Patience's lips. He looked quickly back at her to see what the matter was.

 

 

“Patience what is it what wrong?”

 

 

She brought a gentle hand up to the side of Eros's forehead; she then slowly pulled her fingers away.

 

 

“Eros your head it's bleeding.”

 

 

Eros then looked down at Patience's slender fingers to see the ruby red liquid on them. He did his best to try and remember how he had been injured, and could only guess that he had been hit by debris during the explosion.

 

 

“Aw, don't worry about it Patience it's just a scratch. It's not really something you should worry about.”

 

 

Patience's worried emerald eyes continued to stare at Eros.

 

 

“I don't think so mister, the one whole side of your headband is soaked in blood. You can't tell me that isn't important, you could bleed to death.”

 

 

Seeing how truly worried that Patience was for him. Eros reached a hand up to touch the side of his forehead. After drawing his left hand away from the right side of his forehead, Eros could see that Patience was right it was bleeding pretty well.

 

 

In return he gave her a gentle smile has he spoke to her.

 

 

“Well it might look bad now, but I'm pretty sure once we get it cleaned up everything will be jake.”

 

 

His violet eyes looked worriedly over at Patience.

 

 

“What about you how do you feel?”

 

 

She managed a smile as she looked over at him.

 

 

“Who me I'm jake.”

 

 

However, her body turned against her as she went to stand up. The world in front of her started to spin around her.

 

 

“Whoa, ok so maybe I got up a little to fast.”

 

 

Patience did her best, to brush it off with a soft, gentle smile. Unfortunately her head didn't agree with the smile that she was wearing. Pain throbbed in the back of her head, causing her to wince and bring a hand to the back of her skull. Patience's long slender fingers met with a nicely sized goose egg. The new feeling of pain and the newly found knot on the back of her head, made Patience change her words from earlier.

 

 

“Oh applesauce, ok you win, maybe I'm not as jake as I thought I was.”

 

 

Eros's usually calm eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the fresh blood that was now spread across her fingers, it was now apparent to him that she had been hurt far worst then he had first thought.

 

 

 

“Patience the wound on the back of your head, it's bleeding. Are you sure you're going to be alright.”

 

 

By now Eros was at her side and Patience was leaning against him as much as she dared. Though he had always told her that she didn't weigh enough to hurt him that bad she still worried about him.

 

 

 

“No I'm fine really, I'm sure once it's cleaned up it won't be that bad and the little headache will be gone. Besides, Father Remington and Sister Kate are expecting us we don't want to keep them too long,”

 

 

Eros just shook his head; there was really no arguing with her. Once she had made up her mind it usually stayed that way, no matter how much pain she was in. Sighing in defeat Eros let Patience lean on him as they headed back toward their Model T Ford.

 

88888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 8888888888

 

 

As the vehicle came to a rumbling stop, Eros gave Patience one last worried looked.

 

 

“Are you sure that you're ok? I mean, you still don't have a headache do you?”

 

 

Patience just smiled at Eros as she chose her words before speaking them.

 

 

“Thank you, for worrying about me so much but I'm fine really.”

 

 

Her dark emerald orbs then scanned Eros over as she looked over at him.

 

 

“Speaking of headaches, how's your head doing? You were hurt to you know.”

 

 

Eros blushed lightly as he placed a hand to the bandage on the side of his forehead. His faced reddened a little more as he remembered how gentle his contractor and best friend had been while dressing the wound.

 

 

“Who me, oh yeah its feeling a lot better now thank you for asking.”

 

 

Patience looked out of the windshield for a moment before looking back at her partner who sat beside her. When she did a stray piece of her curly lilac hair, lay in front of her face. She blew at it, but failed at removing it for its spot. Eros laughed lightly as he watched his contractor blow at the stray strand of hair. In return he reached out and moved it back out of her face.

 

 

The soft tender moment was broken as Patience suddenly spoke out loud.

 

 

“Well we're here, so I guess it's time to go meet our new team mates.”

 

 

She herself laughed lightly as she opened the door to the car and climbed out. Once she had slammed the door, Eros let out the breath that he had been unknowingly holding in as he slid farther down in the passenger seat.

 

 

`Something tells that we've been set up. I'm pretty sure that our new team mates were set up as well. The only question is; what is the real reason for setting all of us up.'

 

 

After a few more minutes Eros then climbed out of the car and followed after Patience. As they went to go meet their new team mates.
