I've always promised myself I would destroy anything that corrupted society. Kill anything and anyone in the way of achieving peace and humanity. That's why I joined the army, in order to stop all their madness from spreading.
How about getting your life together first?
Really dude, you need to get laid.
Let's take a nap, you're tired!
My thoughts scatter amongst one another; it was difficult to even start a life when I don't know how mines ended so quickly. In high school was very social—I even dated a few times. But now, even talking to someone has become such a chore. I suppose I'm not the friendliest guy in the army.
The files needed to be corrected and filed, I thought to myself while sipping a mug of dark coffee. Flipping my thumb through all the paper work I left unfinished, I attempted to search for the one that needed to be corrected.
Recent murders, recent murders, recent murders…
Gotcha.
It was a thick file; papers were sticking out of every direction and even the file itself was yellowing from its aging. The first document I see is a blurry security photograph of a young girl; her blonde honey comb hair was tied up into a messy bun as a rose clipped it all together. It was too blurry to make out her face. Her name is unknown—even to us—but we call her the Red Rose. Every massacre her army has slaughtered left red rose petals.
She's insane, was the first thought that I accumulated to after finishing reading her files. She kills her victims by torturing them with bullets in every area besides the brain and heart. She probably watches them beg and scream as she shoots them. Then after she's bored with them, she finishes them off with a bullet to the brain.
Do you see where I'm coming from? People like this have to be stopped; forget their reasons of murder, it's just so inhumane to end innocent lives like this!
My hands start to tremble and shake a bit. I can't help but want to throw up at the sight of her recent murder scene.
"Kagamine?"
"Get out." Those were the first words that slip out of my mouth before I even got to think. I didn't like company, especially uninvited company.
"C-Commander Hatsune would like to speak with you."
I sigh, flipping through the files once more. It was Major Shion—one of the shyest Majors ever. It aggravates me how he's so hesitant of eliminating these murderers. He always wants to spare them a life or two.
"What does the Commander want with me?" I ask in a monotone voice, observing other files of the Red Rose. "I'm on my break, he should know that already."
"W-Well, he told me that it was important. I believe it involved the recent attacks of the nearby towns."
I pushed my toe to the left, spinning my chair around to speak to Major Shion. He was toying with his blue navy hat he recently bought. It was obvious that he was scared of me—my personality towards others hasn't been very…positive.
"You believe? You're supposed to be a Major, aren't you?" I ask, raising my brow.
Is he even taking his job seriously? I furiously ask myself. It seemed unreasonable for someone like him to be serious about this type of work.
"Well…yes b-but! Please just see the Commander…" His eyes shift away from my intense stare. Okay, it was a glare.
"Give me a minute; I'll talk to him as soon as I finish these files."
"O-okay!" He literally skipped out of my room while shutting the door forcefully. I could hear the sound of cold water being drawn.
...It isn't my fault he's scared shitless of me.
Shrugging, I went back to work.
.Kaito's POV.
After I exited Kagamine's room, I ran straight to the sink.
"Calm down, he's just your co-worker…" I attempt to reassure myself before splashing cold water onto my sweaty face.
It's odd to be scared of your own co-worker, I know. But this is Kagamine. His honest and blunt words really make him hard to talk to; not to mention his expression…
No matter what he does—let it be peeing, cooking, eating, or fighting—it's the exact same expression!
..
..
…I'm a failure as a Major, aren't I?
I mean seriously! Even if we left him out in the winter, I bet someone would mistake him for a snowman! I think to myself.
I approach the tall, wooden door. The doorknob was already rusting and the name tag on the door has faded. It goes to show how much appreciation we have for architecture, eh?
"Commander? Are you there?" I call out to the dark room once I open the door. I was left to talk to empty space. "Hey, Mikuo come on dude, you know I'm scared of the dark…"
Clap
Clap
"Kaito, Kaito!" I was greeted by a very smiley faced teal haired Commander. "So how did it go with Lenny?"
"He said to give him a moment; apparently he's finishing up some paperwork."
"Well that's no fun; he's always cooped up in that room!"
A thick file was then thrown right into my face. Its contents spilled along the floor. I half-glared at Mikuo.
"I want you to help me with something Kaito-kun~"
I raise a brow at the files content; it revealed blurry images of a woman… and the fact that Mikuo was playing with a stuffed bunny. After squeaking its paw, Mikuo proceeded to rip the bunny in half. It revealed a thick parchment of notes and a photo.
"Recently, we caught a really good photo of her and once we…"
His voice wandered into a different department of my mind; all I could do was stare at the newly taken photo on Mikuo's desk.
Her long honey-comb strands of hair fell from the messy bun that was pinned with a blossoming rose. Along with the rose, a white ribbon was tied behind her bun; she wore a wired grin as well as cerulean, insane eyes. An officer coat was draped along her slender shoulders; she wore a short—and breathtaking—black & red kimono.
"—and when it comes to that, I want you to interrogate her. Okay~?"
Hey guys! I'm back (& alive).
I'm going to be rewriting bloody roses all over again.

Honestly, I decided I wanted to upload chapter 7, but when I reread my story I nearly puked. My writing style was horrible, and the plot was too much rushed. And thus, BOOM, you guys are going to get a much better story.
