It was a rainy afternoon in Magdala Order, and it wasn't even a soul walking for the hallways or garden of the convent; raindrops was falling down for the crystal of the window, as sitting on the bed, he looked at the abandoned landscape because of the rain, and after a seconds, he stared far away in the distance , not seeing at specify point, with the thunders of the storms clamoring inside his ears… he could remember a similar scene, fresh in his mind, like it had been just a few weeks ago,.. he gave a large and deep sigh, as a light melancholy invaded him… many things in just a little time… many suddenly decisions… many things in his mind that he didn't realize when Rosette got into the room, and only he did it when he felt an arms wrapped him around his neck warmly, resting the chin of the girl upon his head, cutting his breath of the suddenly sensation, tensing his body.

Are you depress again…? – the blond nun asked as long as she did the same like Chrno was doing before she came, placing her gaze at the distance trough the window.

Not really… - he answered, relaxing his body after a few seconds, closing peacefully his eyes and resting his back against her chest – I was just remembering…

About what, can I know…? – She asked again, begining to brush with her fingers the bangs in the sides of his face; he slightly open his eyes, placing his look at the distance.

About my life… - he limited himself to answer, not ready yet to tell her his history.

Rosette looked at him for a few seconds in silent, and after give a sigh, she just continued stroking the hair of her partner, as he closed again his eyes, in his mind beginning to see that moments, many time ago, before everybody begin to call them "sinners", many time ago, before they could even imagine it to being called that way…

It was official, he couldn't stand it anymore… he simply couldn't do it… he was over his limits, and to be sitting, looking around from place to place, it wasn't fun anymore, since even that place was timeless, he could know it had passed many, many hours… finally, the demon boy stood up, stretching his sore muscles, and despite his wings, he began to walk, with slow and lazy steps, as he shrugged… why things must to be so boring down there? Why they couldn't go outside world without a calling? He had listened stories about Heaven and Earth, the first one, a place where the supremacy one was, the second, a place where the horizonts were so vast and wide, that it could take an eternity before see all of them, besides, creatures there were so selfish and ambitious, that they could do everything for their wishes… he'd dreamed with step on that green meadows which Elders had seem there, he'd dreamed with feel that brilliant light burning his skin, but according what they said, despite to be fire in the skin, it produced a warm sensation rather than pain… simply, he wanna be who could to experience all of that, to see it by himself… not only to stay, listening everybody's histories… but he knew that couldn't be possible… not as long as his "mother", his queen, or like everybody called her, Pandemonium, wasn't agree with it… he could remember had spoken with her many times about it, but because of his queen's supremacy, the matter always had ended because he had to keep silent… he could feel his eyes getting wet and his fist closing with a large strength, that it made him to bleed a little… deciding to forget about all his fury accumulated, giving before a sigh of frustration, he extended his wings and began to fly, arriving at a not very arid zone after a few seconds, and after touch the floor, he began to walk again, knowing he could find him there… after stop himself and scratch his head in a confusing way, he asked himself where could be the demon he was looking for.. finally he saw him sitting on the floor at the distance and then, he ran towards him… surely he would find something fun to do with him… surely he would be able to talk about the stupid Pandemonium didn't let him to do, not fearing for be betrayed for him… he knew, surely, with him he could feel himself safe… but his thoughts were far away once he was getting closer to him, listening in the air a sound he identified like sobs… and certainly, when he was beside him, he could clearly heard him cry, as a deep fury invaded him inside... after give a sigh, he stood up in front of him, getting the attention of the sitting demon, who raised his head and his look to him, letting see trough his tears, a pair of golden eyes shining with force.

A-Aion... – he could say in middle of his sobs as the platinum haired demon gave a sigh and kneel down to see him face to face.

What's had happened this time, Chrno...? – he asked annoyed, giving another sigh. The violet-haired demon lowed his glance, continuing with his sobs, as Aion shook his head negatively taking the face of the demon in front of him, putting his forehead against his, see him eye to eye, his voice strong and firm - ...What... happened...?

They said I'm weak... – he lightly said, lowing his glance to the floor – and they said despite my two horns, even the lower rank demons with only one horn were superiors than me...

And what did you do to disapprove it...? – the tone of his voice was more than deception rather than anger, making obvious that the platinum haired boy already knew the answer, confirming it when the demon sitting in the floor began to cry even more; he sighed again and scratched his head – I don't understand you... that kind of things really make you get pissed out, but you don't make anything for avoid it...

THEY WERE MANY! – he cried more, Aion sweatdrop.

And I'm sure that two wouldn't be enought to take you down... you have an incredible power, I don't know why you didn't use it like last time... – Chrno stopped to cry because the last Aion's phrase, and he only continued sobbing looking at the floor, Aion shrugged – Well, there's just one thing to do...

Demo...

There's no excuses! Right now we gonna find them and making eat their words as we kick their asses! - Aion grabbed Chrno's hand and made him to stood up, as he look around him – so, where were they heading for...?

I don't wanna do this...

Do you really wanna make them to respect you? Geez, Chrno... you're my brother, but that doesn't mean I'll always be taking care of you! – the younger demon lowed his glance, and after a pair of seconds, he pointed the direction; Aion nodded and began to lend Chrno, not leaving his hand, as the violet-haired demon kept his glance down.

He was right…he really hated to be bother for the others demons, and just like Aion, he knew because of the shape of his horns, he was owner of a kind of powers nobody else could have, but… How would he to be able to tell to Aion he didn't desire to hurt anybody? How would he to be able to tell him last time it had been just an accident? After a minutes, finally they could to identify between the others groups in the place, a pair of demons; Aion was sure they must to be the ones who had verbally attacked to his baby brother, because the other demons were so old, very boring and very busies to bother a little demon like Chrno…

Are they the demons who bother you, Chrno? … - Aion asked in a whisper to the violet haired demon, who after see them, nodded.

The platinum haired demon stared his glance upon them… the first demon, white spiky haired, was wearing a cowboy stile outfit, his whites eyes and mischievous smile were a perfect reflection of the exquisite evil he surely must to have… Aion could realize he was so old to be a kid, and so young to be an adult, so after he'd taken off of his head the idea about the guy was pretty handsome remembering he had bother to Chrno, he stared at the second demon, an adult definitively, long black straight hair, in his face a cold and strong expression, big muscles in his body, using an armor, and higher than the first guy. Chrno stared at Aion after he'd been seeing those who had been his attackers, hesitating to call to his brother.

A-Aion… this isn't very necessa….

HEY YOU, PAIR OF BRAINS OF SHIT, WHERE YOU THINK YOU GO! – Aion shut up loosen himself of Chrno's hand, a expression of horror in the face of the violet-haired demon when he saw the others demons turn to see them with a expressions of fury in their faces because of the calling.

What did u say, Imbecile! – the voice of the fist guy sounded as he began to walk towards them. Chrno gripped the arms of his brother.

A-Aion… let's gonna apologize with them and then let's going to anywhere, ok? Maybe they're right… maybe they're more stronger than me…

Don't even dare to think about it, Chrno! There's no way a pair of scorias like them can be stronger than you! And we'll prove that! – Chrno looked at Aion with fear, as the last one turned around to see the other demon, who after a pair of steps, he finally was in front of the platinum haired boy, taking him by the neck.

What do u think you are, piece of dung! Do u think u are in the same rank like me, the demon Jenai!

Of course not, and that's the reason why we came! – Aion said with a confident grin as he released himself from Jenai's hand, and then, he pointed to Chrno – We came to make you take back what you said to my brother!

A-Aion, I don't think…

You came for what?– he asked funny as he grabbed now to Chrno and raised him by the neck – Did u listen Bit? They wanna make ME to regret with a piece of dung like this, who dare calling himself "Demon"…

They're just brats, Jenai, don't waste your time with them…

I would like it to do it, Bit, but nobody who calls me "brain of Shit" can go away simply without a punish given by me… - he formed a kind of metallic lance in his left arm; Chrno just look scared at the new spear.

If I could be you, I wouldn't dare even to think about annoy him… - Aion chuckle with confidence – I'm sure you don't wanna end like the demon in the Fallen Angel Risk, do you…?

What…? – Bit asked surprised, getting Jenai and Chrno's attention - It's impossible this brat…!

Not it isn't… you've realize we're almost twins, haven't you? Well, I'll tell you this like one last advice… we both was born from the same nest… the only real difference between us, it's ours horns which give us the special abilities to take control of the time… my horns can make move it… and his horns… can stop it… and he possess an infinite power, that not even me dare to make him angry… - Bit began to get worried when he saw Aion's confident grin, and he stared Chrno, who tried again and again to free himself from his captor.

C'MON! EVERYBODY CAN SAY THAT TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM ME! BUT IT WON'T BE SO EASY TO YOU GO THAT! NOW YOU'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS TO THE ONES WHO DARE TO CHALLENGE ME!

JENAI, IT'S OVER!

But Jenai didn't listen, and when he tried to hurt to the demon inside his grip, Aion attacked him giving time to Chrno to set free from Jenai's hand, and then, he placed himself beside his brother in the air waiting for a reaction of the two demons on the floor. Jenai couldn't help but got angry when he saw his damaged arm, and then he flew towards the two demon kids at the time they got separate each one to his own direction; the white haired demon went towards to Aion, increasing his speed suddenly not giving time to Aion to react; the platinum haired boy was hit by Jenai's attack, and when this one was about to cut him by the middle with a kind of scissors in one of his arms, a suddenly and powerful attack hit him with an incredible force, and when he turned around to look for the owner, he could see the violet haired demon keeping the pose of the attack… Now Jenai was really pissed out… he threw Aion with an incredible force against the floor, and then, he flew towards the other child who was looking at his brother, despite he wasn't seriously injured, he was very dizzy for the hit.

AION! - Chrno called to his big brother down on the floor, very distressed when he saw his brother didn't reply to his calling.

NOW YOU'RE IN BIG TROUBLES, LITTLE RAT! – Jenai said with an evil laugh and then he turned to see to his friend, who was watching everything – C'MON BIT! COME HERE AND GET SOME FUN!

YOU'RE PLAYING WITH FIRE IF WHAT THE OTHER BRAT SAID IT'S TRUE!

DON'T TELL ME YOU REALLY BELIEVE HIM? C'MON! EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT HISTORY! NOW, COME HERE AND HELP ME OUT! – He turned to see Chrno, who because of trying to go where Aion was laying, he couldn't see to the other demon heading towards him; then, Bit hit Chrno in the stomach with force, sending the young demon down against the floor; Chrno advanced a pair of meters grazing his body against the rugged field, laying there and not moving anymore after a pair of seconds – jejejeje... did you see it? That brats just had a very long tongue... jejejeje...

I'm not sure about it, Jenai... – Bit's worried voice vanished Jenai's smile – if they weren't commons demons, they hadn't challenge us...

Maybe they didn't know who are we... I don't care anyway... you saw they couldn't fight us even to the beginning of the second round... – he sighed – ups... Rizzel gonna kill me...

I guess you must to worry about someone else in this moment... – Bit cut him with fear in his face pointing something behind the white haired demon; Jenai turned around and he saw what his partner was talking about... Chrno on his feet, his horns shining and his eyes before golden now had turned whites, as he was growling furiously.

W-WHAT THE HECK...! – Jenai gave a step back in the air, becoming to fear when the sky were dark for Chrno's reaction.

I TOLD YOU THIS WOULD HAPPEN, BUT YOU DIDN'T LISTEN ME! – Aion's voice caught their attention, as the boy was looking upon them – NOW CONSECUENCES WILL BE CATASTROPHIC IF HE DOESN'T STOP! – he turns to see his brother – CHRNO! CUT THAT NOW! YOU'LL DESTROY EVERYTHING! CHRNO! – Aion's serious sight became a frightening one to see his brother didn't reply him – h-he don't listen me anymore...!

Now what will we do!

Run away, of course!

The Bit's words barely were out of his mouth, Chrno gave a big shut as a twister surrounded him; the three demons were frozen in fear for the first seconds, watching like all the place around of the demon became to frozen; finally, Bit, Jenai and Aion itself flew away, so faster as their wings allowed them do it as Chrno continued with out stop his fury, freezing everything... he finally stopped when he felt in his neck a hit that made him to fall knocked down, the last thing he could be able to see before close his eyes, the shape of an tall demon looking at him...

It had passed some hours until he finally could open his eyes; he felt heavy his eyelids, his head was killing him and when he sat down, he couldn't help but vomit a little of whatever could be what was in his stomach; he looked around him… Chrno was sitting on a bed in middle of the back of what seems to be a room, the floor seems to be of crystal, with green lights for everywhere, circle fountains around, with only narrows ways between it to walk as the reflect of the water inside the fountains make an beautiful effect on the walls and the roof; he looked nervous side to side, not recognizing the place where he was… he began to remember the lasts events, as distressed, he couldn't help but asked what had happened to his brother, being afraid of the worst… he began to sob again, scared…

Why are you crying, Chrno…? – the suddenly voice surprised him as long as he looked frightening around him, stared at the shadow at the entrance of the room: a tall and delicate shape, pointing long ears like the ones of his kind, and a pair of feathers in both laterals of her head, wearing only a very slender coat; Chrno went back on the bed until he touched the wall with his back, frightening when he realized she was walking towards him – I haven't done nothing to you, so you don't have a reason to be afraid of me…

Where… Where am I? And who are you..? – the child's frightening voice it made her placed a almost never seeing affectionately smile in her face.

You're in my room, a place where nobody it's allowed to come in… - she said taking off her coat, leaving at the sight her naked body, as Chrno despite to be only a kid, he couldn't help but blushed because of his demoniac instinct, sometimes not very according to his mental age, taking away from her, his sight seconds later, closing firmly his eyes; He felt soon her presence in front of him, and he tight more his eyelids, but he couldn't help but open them when he felt in his cheek a warm hand, making him see her eye to eye – and I'm Pandemonium…

P-Pandemonium…? – Chrno repeated as she nodded, and after she had left go the face of the boy, the demon woman walked with grace towards one of the fountains aside to the bed and got into it, as she began to bath herself and to rub her body, all of this been watched by the demon boy, who finally, sat down on the edge of the mattress – Why… am I here…? – he finally asked after a seconds.

Someone reported me there was some demons making troubles in the west zone, so, I commanded to Deufo and his servants to bring me the responsible of that acts to punish it… - Chrno lowed his glance, more frightening rather than ashamed – but, when Deufo brought you in front of my, I couldn't believe it was you the responsible…

If only I'm here, that means my brother wasn't anymore in the scene and he's ok… - Chrno thought very relief, he began to speak after a little silent – my brother says you can't to judge someone only seeing his/her shell…

I know that… by the way, your brother's name is Aion, am I right? – the boy nodded – yeah, how could I forget about him… he always come to see me, he come to ask me always the same thing, but he knows that's impossible… - Chrno peered at her with the side of his eye, as the queen demon turned to him and smiled – C'mon here, I need some help to bath my back… - the demon boy couldn't help but blushed again as he blinked many times, not believing what his big ears had listened – C'mon, will you leave alone to your queen in disgrace? – he only shook his head and gulped, then he began to take off the armor of his arms and after that, he reached the shore of the fountain where the lady demon was sitting up; he took some water inside his hand as he took the soft sponge from a side of him, and he began to rub her back softly, as the color in his cheek went on the top – So, Chrno, tell me… why someone so kind like you were making troubles?

Well, it was because some guys were bother me, and A…. – he shut up suddenly; to say Aion's name could make him get into troubles too and that will mean real troubles to his big brother – and I couldn't stand it… and… well, I guess they ran away when they saw me in that way…

I see… I know we're demons, but it's so necessary to learn how to manage the fury… you could to make real damage if Deufo hadn't stop you… - she look at him with the side of her eye and she can't help but smile with affection to see him in despair to finish up.

Y-yeah, I know… - he sigh and gulp – and… which will be my punishment…?

Well, everything will depend upon you… your way of take it… you know… - the lady demon said closing her eyes, Chrno made a sound of doubt – take off your clothes… - the queen said suddenly, making him got more blushed than he was before (if it could be possible),as he tried to say something, but not being able to enunciate a word.

…F-For what…? – the queen stared at him.

That will be your punishment, so, C'mon now! Take off your clothes and come in… - the boy had opened the mouth literally, ashamed, scared and not believing yet what the queen had said… he had imagine everything less that.

I-It's just that… I-I can't… I-I mean… you… me…

Ok, let's put the cards on the table! I'm decide the punishment, so c'mon! If you don't take off your clothes by yourself, I'll be the one who will make it… - by the expression on her face, it was obvious she was amusing with that… the demon boy looked at her with pleading eyes, but Pandemonium, not being affected, only curved her eyebrows, waiting for him, as Chrno just told her with his glance he didn't want to do it, but he queen only made him a finger signal to indicate him he already could to start.

At least… can you… em… you know… please…?

This time, not even Pandemonium was able to deny him the favor because of the glance he gave to her, so she nodded and turned her back to him to give him a little of privacy, letting him to take his time to undress himself, although the sound of the buckle of his belt it made obvious what part of his outfit were the only thing left, and the splash when he made contact with the water it made her to know he already was inside the fountain, and then, she turned back to him again, in her face an affectionately and mischievous smile when she saw his burning cheeks and his wet golden eyes… she stared at the demon in front of her, analyzing him… despite his short age, his body was very grown up, the muscles of his chest and his abdomen already had begun to take form, and when her imagination was upon another things of him it made her laugh with mischief; finally, she got closer to him and again, she made him to look her face to face as she could see trough his golden eyes, shining tears he didn't want to let it to run down.

Now, listen me… this It's fine, Ok? You're not doing something bad or something improper, all right? So, don't worry about it… - the mischievous glance once became in a more maternal one, at the moment the boy closed tightly his eyes and nodded, choking himself with his owns sobs – everything is ok… - she hugged him as the just boy replied the embrace with force… he really was needing that… the act of the lady demon stroking his hair and rocking him seemed to be having a little comforting effect on the sobbing demon. Then she whispered to his ear – I know this goes against all rules because it suppose to be a punishment, but… If you wish it, we can stop this right now… - in their embrace yet, the boy opened his eyes slightly at the moment he gave his answer…

EHHH! CHRNO! WHAT ARE YOU THINKING! – Rosette couldn't help but get alarmed when she realized Chrno's cheeks were very blushed, and she get alarmed even more because since some minutes ago, he'd been the one who wanted to change the position they were before, from being his back against her chest, until to be like they were in that moments, now his face resting upon her chest and curling up upon the same one.

The nun was about to slap him in the face and putting the demon away from her, but tears beginning to slip down his cheeks made her to stop her reaction, and rather than she was thinking to do, she hugged him tighter, as she began to rock him softly as she whispered in his ear that everything was ok, as in Chrno's mind, scenes finally showed up, gripping himself even tighter to Rosette, as long as his memories continued, as he was hopping to find some peace never found before inside him, and with that, hopping his memories ended more soon…

IT BE CONTINUED
