Welcome to chapter 7! This is my first fan fiction ever, but I'm pushing it to my own mental limits! I have been having troubles lately, specially with my job as military training instructor, but still manage to upload everyday! Okay, nuff chit-chat. Let's get into chapter 7!

...
The general's secretary put all of his file into the locker, before locking it, then, she walks out, closes the door. A figures stands outside at the balcony, with a grin on his face. With a swift movement, the door to the balcony opens, and Jin walks in, Yukianesa in hand...
"The light is still on, meaning she will return soon. I'll have to be quick!"-Jin thought as he pick the locker's lock. After a few minutes, the lock turns, and the locker is open. Now it is the question of finding the right file.
"Staff info, operations, other stuff...where is it?"-Jin frustratingly murmur as he goes through the file. then, he stopped at a certain file says: "Black Grid contract." Black Grid is a private security company. What is the general doing hiring private company like this? Then, another strange file. "Murakumo project." Noel? What is the general doing with this file? Jin opens it and skimmed through a few pages. He was shocked to find every detail about the project, every process, every instruction, including Mu-12 activation. Jin recalls to a memory of which the general heavily insist the NOL board that Hazama should be execute early without a trial. Hazama also knows the secrets of Mu-12. Then...If Hazama spills out about the general's connection to the Murakumo project...That's why he wanted Hazama out so early. HE hired Prisoner 8-5-3. That's why he didn't want Jin to be in this case. It's because he's the master mind himself! But there's one problem...why did Prisoner 8-5-3 did it? Jin goes through money transaction. Nothing unusual. No large sums of money was draw out or transferred that could be payment for Prisoner 8-5-3. Jin thought races. Why did Prisoner 8-5-3 kill Hazama...for free?
Then, Jin hears footsteps. He immediately put the files back in the right place, close the locker, lock it. The secretary steps in, finding the Major waiting at the chair.
-Major Kisaragi!-She said, bowing down-What brings you here?
-I was waiting for the general. I wanted to talk to him.-Jin said with a stern expression, trying his best to hide his nervous.
-Oh, he out on business at the moment. Would you like to leave a message?
-Oh, no thanks. I'll contact him later.-He said walking out.
-Good night, Major.
-...
Soon as he was able leaves the room, Jin ran back to his office, take a piece of paper, and start to draw out a connection line in order to figure this out. "The general is tying off loose ends, and Hazama is one of them. That end is tied off. He is hiring private security company, meaning he has secrets that he doesn't want the NOL to know. He knows everything about the Murakumo project, which related to Noel. Prisoner 8-5-3 was hired to kill Hazama...but no payment was made. Wait. If Prisoner 8-5-3 knows the general, he must have know his plans as well. He knows everything there is to know about Noel. But if dark intention are made with the kidnap, then Mu-12 should already been destroying Kagutsuchi by now. Maybe this wasn't a kidnap at all..." Jin thought as the circles seems to be connecting, but it's still not cleared yet. Then, a thought enters his mind..."That's it! Prisoner 8-5-3 refused the job, but instead he uses it as a cover to actually get Noel out of harms way when she was in the general's reach! Hazama wasn't his target, Noel is! He's been protecting her this whole time! It was a chess game, and the general made a wrong move!" Jin felt like screaming in joy as he figures it out. The Blood soldier project, the Murakumo project, the false attack, Prisoner 8-5-3, the general's behavior...everything make sense now! Jin fold the piece of paper, and put it in his pocket. "But no one can know about this, not until I have more proof. Besides, sneaking into the general's office is a crime. If I can't explain where did I get this information...then it has to stay to myself. We just have to wait for him to made his move." Jin thought to himself, as he head to his room...
"Well, at least Noel is in good hands" He lets out a small smile.
...
-I told you...you can't run from your fate, Blade. I have tried to warn you...look at yourself, being held by your own demon as you watch the only thing that matters to you die..-The general said, Ruyo kneeling next to him, gun pointed at her head...
-Blade, what...what is he talking about? What's happening to you? Tell me!-Ruyo look at Blade, a mere glass window away, being held by 2 serpent that came out from his back...
-He is not free my dear. His demon makes him trap in a prison of his own mind...
-Ruyo...let go of me!-Blade yell as he struggle to free himself from the demon inside of him...
-She reeks innocence...-The demon inside him voices...
-The key to your salvation...the angel that keep you guided...the light within your darkness...will die because you didn't accept your fate...how shame...
Blade struggling becomes more erotic, as the general pressed Ruyo's head against the glass, prepares to fire. Before it's over...Ruyo whisper to him...
-Jack...this isn't your fault.
"BANG!"
Ruyo's lifeless body drop down...
Blade's struggles free, punch through the glass, and grab the general's revolver.
The demon holds him from moving forward...
The general got away...
Then, the 2 serpent releases Blade, as he stumbles and kneel down before his lover's body...
-She was a nuisance...-The demonic voice continues with a blood filled expression.
-...
Blade grab the revolver that the general dropped, and point it at his own throat...
-No! This isn't your time! Stop! You are not allow to die!-The 2 serpents tries to grab Blade's hand, pulling the revolver away. But Blade's strength surpassed them, and the revolver doesn't move...
-Let...the angels...lead the way...-Blade said the Blood soldier praise before pulling the trigger.
-NO! ! !
"BANG!"
"And that...was the first time I ever died..."-Blade thought to himself. The only thing he ever cherish... the only person that could save him from the darkness within...gone with a flash...Blade rub his temple...why didn't he just die...why does he have to live...the demon brings him back to this world from hell...he should have stayed there...but he can't...He doesn't have a choice...he would rather suffer the fire of hell then to get the pleasure of being alive...revenge can't fill that void in his mind...only death can...
-Blade?-A light, sweet and innocent voice...just like her...
-What is it Noel?-Blade sigh-It's late.
-I...I can't sleep...-Noel said, clutching her hands...
-Oh...I don't blame you...
-Blade...
-Yes?
-Who are you? Why does the general hates you?
-I used to be NOL...Let just say...the general invested a lot in me...
-Do you have any relatives?
-No. Why do you ask?
-I don't know...you need someone to take care of you...
-No...I don't...Soon, this will be all over, Noel...
-I know...-Noel said, hugging him.
Blade's eye begins to turn dim...is he...is he falling asleep? After all this time?...His nightmares haunted him every time he closes his eyes...What could possibly calming him down? Her? Maybe...maybe so...maybe he had someone else to care about now...may be it's not love...but he had someone else to protect now...and he will. At all cost.
So the truth is out, and this chapter is over! Review please! Next chapter will be out within a day span!
