CHAPTER.1 :A new hand of fate:

by April ramos aka AquaticWolfKuri

Ragna the bloodedge continues to die over and over again, by the same girl, falling...into the pit of the cauldron...never seeing the end...untill...noel reached out.

The young girl who changed his fate, but...what if it had been his brother who jumped in every time with him? what if jin had been the one to take his hand?

The wheel of fate is now turning to a new outcome.

In the NOL branch, the start of a new fate begin's as ragna is coming to the end of his life, trapped in the blade and arms of Nu, Jin make's his struggle to chase after his brother.

"damn...I'm going to die...am I really this week?" Ragna mumbled.

"nii-san!" Jin cried as he reached his hand out, running to his brother, despite his grave wounds all over him.

"idiot...run.." ragna murmured.

just when ragna is ready to die and join nu, he could then feel a strong grip on his wrist and felt the sharp pain of the huge blade slide out of his body.

"n-no, ragna!" the girl screamed as she melted alone in the lava...

"ngh...aaaaaaaaargh!" jin cried as his grave wounds made it hard to hold up his dear older brother, but managed to hold on to him strongly.

ragna could not believe what was happening. Jin had saved him, just after trying to kill him. "Jin..!"

"n-nii-san...hahaha...she was...going to take you away again..."

his words were followed by a pained grin.

"you idiot..." ragna then pulled himself up, with the help of jin. ragna was now resting on his backside trying to regain his strength while trying to be ready for whatever the hell jin tries to pull on him.

"huff...huff...ha...hahaha...nii-san...it's just us now..." jin said as he started to lose his sanity, but collapsed to his knees then his frontside beside his brother.

"jin..." ragna stared at jin with a look of annoyance and worry, Just then.

"major!" Noel screamed. "oh no, you're badly hurt!"

"hey...you...get this idiot out of here" ragna tried to sit up. ragna has seen this girl before and never much liked her for having HER face, not as much as jin did though.

"ragna the bloodedge!? what do I do!?"

"you..." jin started to stand up with his yukianesa as a cane, blood spilled from his deep and grave wounds given to him by his battle with ragna before.

"m-major!? Please sit still!" She pleaded.

"Why do you always come in between us!?" He shouted. "Eek!" she ducked as he swiped his sword at her.

"M-major, please!"

"Jin..!" Ragna grabbed jin's wrist, even though he always avoided physical contact with him outside of battle.

"N-nii-san...aaaagh!...huff...huff...haha...ah...hahahahaha, I will kill you two nii-san!"

"Major, stop it!" And with a quick swift swipe with her gun, jin went down with a hard hit to the head.

Jin fell down like a dead man and was out like a light.

"Aaaa, w-what did I do!? M-major!?" Noel quickly started to panic. "I-i need to reach a clinic!" She hauled jin on her back and began to rush out. "H-hey, wait!" Ragna reached out.

"I need...medical help to...ugh" he collapsed

"Oh no! H-hold on!" Noel struggled, but was able to get ragna on her back as well and hurried to the clinic.

Orien town was dazzling and filled with people in the streets. In the clinic of orien town, doctor lichi was teaching student Taokaka of the kaka clan how to be a vigilante, when suddenly the clinic door bursted open.

"Oh my!" Lichi quickly rushed to the door.

"Please help! M-major kisaragi and ragna the bloodedge are badly hurt!"

"Leave it to me" lichi quickly took the two to her clinic bed's and began to tend to their wounds the best she could.

"Meow? Oh no, good guy's all hurt" tao's ears drooped from underneath her hood.

As noel sat there waiting, she had only just come to realize. "Why am I helping ragna the bloodedge!?" She stood up quickly "nyaaaaa!" The hairs on tao's tail stood up "why lacking lady starle tao like that moew!?"

"Oh, s-sorry" noel politely sat back down.

"And why does lacking lady not want to help rwagna nyo?" Her ears twitched and her tail swished about.

"L-lacking lady!?...oogh, why is everyone so mean about my size?" Her eyes full of tears.

"Don't worry! Boobylady can help lacking lady!" Tao pat noel' back with her paws.

After some time, ragna began to wake up in a slight daze. "Where?...the clinic?" Ragna slowly opened his eyes as he could hear voice from the other room "let meow see goodguy nyow!" tao hissed.

"No tao, he's resting" lichi skulleded.

"Then what about creepyguy!?"

"No"

Ragna tried getting up, but found his wounds more sirius than he thought. when ragna finally sat up, he looked over to his left and saw jin laying in bed...because of him...he didn't want to hurt him...he didn't want to miss out on his childhood...he didn't mean for any of that to happen...

"Jin..." ragna clenched his fists as he could feel a nasty knot in his stomach, knowing he failed at being an older brother. Missing out on his childhood, be the cause of his grave injuries...he hated himself.

"Damn it...!" Ragna punched the wall.

"...nii...san..." jin whispered in his sleep.

"Jin..!" ragna didn't want to be around when he woke up, but he could really leave ether.

"Nii-san...please..." jin started to plead in his sleep with a pained look on his face.

"J-jin!" ragna wanted to do something for him, but what? when they were kid's, jin would just crawl in to ragna's bed, but things aren't like what they use to be for them anymore.

as ragna clenched his teeth, being frustrated not being able to help his own little brother. Jin started to wake up with the pain of a headache to welcome him.

"Ngh...where am I..?" Jin wondered, but his gaze was suddenly locked on his brother.

"N-nii-san" jin smiled "ngh...haha...hahahahaha, I get to kill you again..!"

"Damn it jin!"

Ragna slammed his hand down on jin's bed and stared at him intently.

"Jin...just..." the angry in ragna's eyes melted into a sadness. "Just...what happened to the sweet jin who loved his nii-cahn all thse years...?" ragna asked, but almost sounded like he was pleading...crying...

"N...nii-san...nii-san i- aaaaangh!" Jin's will quickly has to battle yukianesa's once more.

"Jin! What's wrong!?"

"Yuki...anesa...this voice...like...last time...aaaaaaaaagh!"

"Jin! Hey, jin, jin! Hang on!"

Lichi barges in when she hears yelling, followed by tao and noel.

"What's going on!?"

"Major!"

"Goodguy!"

"Nii-san...ngh...stop...kill...no..." jin feels as though his head his slowly being split into two as he fights for control for his own body and thought's. "Jin, wh-" ragna's words were cut short when jin suddenly clang to the warmth of ragna's body. ragna froze and was trying to adjust his bare chest that was sheeted in bandages to the touch of his younger brother's who was a bit cold to the touch. "J-jin..."

"N-nii-san...nnn...aaaaaagh...huff...huff...!"

"Oh my" lichi knew jin's case was beyond her powers.

"C-creepyguy want's to make a litter with goodguy!?"

"T-tao, where did you get that idea!?" Lichi blushed.

"Eeeeeh!?" Noel freeked

"Would everyone shut the hell up!?" Ragna roared with a slight flustered face.
