Chapter 47- The Hand Of The Grim Reaper 4
Author's Note: Okay, I'll admit some things. One, I cried while typing this. Two, not including this chapter there are four more chapters left in the story, and, three, ENJOY!

Sadness drowns the world in rain like he did when he lost her.

The next morning, Lena opened her eyes to stare at Gin who was lying beside her as he snored silently.

She smiled happily as she sat up while the sun flooded into the room from the cracked window.

Lena looked around the damaged room as Gin slowly woke up.

He blinked twice, and then jumped back as he pointed at Lena.

"W-W-W-W-W-W-What were you doing!?" He stammered, but then remembered what he himself had said.

"Oh, never mind." He muttered as he sat down next to Lena, and she smiled over at him.

She slowly leaned her head onto his shoulder, and he blushed as she stared at the floor calmly.

"We should get downstairs." Gin said quickly as he stood up, and then dragged Lena out of his room and down the stairs.

"Enjoy your night?" Leaf asked slyly as the two sat down at the large table, and Gin glared angrily at Leaf while Light glared at Gin lividly.

"Good morning." Aura said as she walked down the stairs, and the three quickly stood up to bow to her.

Aura smiled calmly as she sat down to the table, and the three sat back down as the food came out.

After breakfast, the four sat as Aura calmly finished her food.

"Now, Lena. It's quite simple." Aura started to say as she wiped her mouth, and then she pointed to Lena's locket.

"In our family, you must only give something of value to your husband or wife. In this case, it would be your locket." Aura stated, and Lena nodded as she slowly took her locket off, and looked over at Gin who wasn't even looking at her.

Lena smiled as she put the locket on top of his hand, and he looked over at her as she smiled back.

Gin slowly took the locket, and put it around his neck while the others watched him.

When he had the locket around his neck, Aura nodded. "There we are. You two are now married."

"That's it?"

"That's it." Leaf said with a smirk as Light continued to fume angrily at Gin.

Aura smiled as she stood from the table, and she then looked at Lena.

"Now it's time for us to-"

"Mistress!"

Everyone in the dining room looked over at the door as the two men ran inside quickly.

"What's the meaning of this?" Aura asked, and the large men pointed behind them.

"T-There's someone at the gate, but he…" The two stopped talking as two loud bangs echoed in the room, and the men fell to the ground as someone stood behind them with a revolver in their hand while a lit cigarette was held between his teeth.

"My bad. I meant to shoot the woman." He muttered as he stepped over the two men, and Leaf, Light, and Gin quickly readied themselves.

The man chuckled as he blew smoke out of his mouth with a grin. "You are all very naughty to fight against the Duke like this." He said with a grin, and Aura narrowed her eyes at the row of crosses on the man's forehead.

"Who are you?" She asked, and the man chuckled again as he readied his revolver.

"I'm the Noah of Time. Call me Gearz." Gearz said as he pointed the revolver at Aura.

Gin was faster as he swiftly slashed at Gearz, but missed as Gearz calmly leaned back to dodge the slash.

He flipped back outside, and leaf and Light quickly followed as Gin looked back at Lena while Aura slowly followed Leaf and Light.

"Lena…" Gin muttered, and Lena smiled as she walked over to him.

"I don't understand what's going on… But promise me you'll be safe." She said as she put leaned against Gin with her arms between her chest and his and her head against his shoulder.

Gin gave a small smile as he nodded, and he then turned away after patting Lena on the head.

"Of course I will be." He said, and then ran outside with Lena smiling after him.

She walked over to where Aura was watching from the doorway, and the two watched as Leaf, Light, and Gin faced Gearz who had several Akuma behind him.

"Kill them."

Leaf quickly unsheathed and activated his Innocence as the Akuma charged at him.

Light's bracelet glowed as the earth rose up toward his hand. "My Innocence can let me control nature. You Akuma are nothing to me!" Light shouted as he destroyed some Akuma, and grinned as more came.

Gin was already in combat with Gearz as he slashed at the Noah while Gearz calmly dodged while punching at Gin.

"Hehehehe, are we having fun?" A voice asked from above, and everyone froze as they all looked up into the smiling face of none other than the Earl.

"Ah, Earl. You're ruining my fun." Gearz said with a sigh as the Earl descended to the ground.

"You can go play with those other two." Earl said as he stared at Gin.

"Hai, hai." Gearz said as he made his way toward where Leaf was.

"Why are you here, Earl?" Gin asked as the Earl chuckled at him.

"I had a thought that one of your Innocence is the Heart." He stated as he swung Lero to bring out his sword.

Gin smirked as his katana materialized from water. Over by where Leaf was, Gearz fired at Leaf, but missed as Leaf ducked quickly.

"So you can travel time?"

"That's right."

"It explains those two things you have with you then." Leaf said as he stared at the cigarette and revolver.

Gearz grinned as he fired at Leaf again.

Two hours later, they were all still fighting except for Light who had been shot by Gearz when he attacked the Noah.

Leaf was panting heavily as Gearz looked perfectly fine.

"Kuso… I bet you froze your time so you couldn't age, tire, or change." Leaf said, and Gearz nodded with a smirk as he reloaded his revolver again.

Over by the Earl, the two were still fighting as they slashed at each other over and over again.

Gin kicked off of the ground, and then slashed down at the Earl as the Earl slashed upward.

Their blades collided, and Gin quickly jumped back as he panted heavily.

"Man, for a fatty you sure are good…"

"I'm not fat." The Earl said as he smiled at Gin, and Gin smirked as he straightened up.

"Okay, now let's…" Gin and Leaf froze as a single bang echoed again, and the two looked back to see Aura slumped down against the wall while Lena hid behind the wall.

The Earl and Gearz chuckled as blood rolled down Aura's forehead, and Gearz calmly blew the smoke away from his revolver.

Gin and Leaf gritted their teeth angrily as they glared back at their opponents.

Leaf readied his blade at Gearz, and then appeared in front of the Noah.

"Twilight Key: Blade Of Foresight!" Leaf shouted, and Gearz flinched as Leaf slashed upward at the Noah.

The Noah's chest was slashed as he fell away a few feet, and Leaf staggered as he tried to catch his breath.

Gin jumped back to dodge the Earl's sword, but the Earl quickly lunged at Gin with his blade.

"Tch…" Gin muttered as he blocked the Earl's blade, but froze as the Earl sent his fist into Gin's stomach.

"Hehehehehe…" The Earl muttered happily as he flung Gin away a few feet.

Gin landed on his knees as he skidded along the ground, but he froze as a large shadow loomed over him.

The Earl laughed happily as a small ball formed in his hand, and he swung the ball at Gin.

Gin gritted his teeth weakly as he tried to dodge, but his energy was gone as the ball neared him

Blood rolled down Gin's face as he stared up in surprise as the Earl also stared in surprise.

The Earl grinned as he pulled his hand out of Lena as she had ran in front of Gin to protect him.

Lena fell back, and Gin weakly caught her as she landed on his knees.

"Are… you okay, Gin?" Lena muttered weakly as she smiled at him.

"Lena…" Gin muttered as the Earl chuckled before walking toward where Leaf was catching his breath.

"Why did you…" Gin muttered, but stopped as Lena raised her hand to his cheek, and stroked it as she smiled at him.

"I didn't want you to get hurt…" She muttered, and Gin was silent as he stared at Lena.

"Gin… Please find my sister, and tell I'm sorry…" Lena muttered as she put her hand on Gin's neck.

"I'm glad… I got to love before I die… Thank you, Gin… Promise me that… you'll… never forgot me…" Lena said slowly, and a tear fell onto her face as Gin started to cry.

"As if anyone could forgot you…" He muttered, and Lena smiled sweetly.

"It may only have been a few hours, but I still loved the time I had with you…" Lena said as she rubbed Gin's neck slowly.

"Lena…"

"I… I love you… Gin…" Lena muttered, and she lifted her head weakly to Gin's.

She weakly kissed him on the lips as he stared back at her while crying.

The next moment, Lena slowly fell back to his knees as her eyes dimmed, and her heart stopped.

"Lena…" Gin muttered as he stared down at her, and he then placed his head on hers as he cried.

"Damn you…" He muttered quietly, and the Earl stopped to look behind him.

"Damn you… DAMN YOU, EARL!" Gin shouted, and the Earl froze as he suddenly was pushed back as Gin stood up slowly while water formed around his right hand.

"Kikan Mizu. Synchronize." Gin said as the water enveloped his right arm, and spread to his left arm.

The Earl's eyes widened as Gin stared at him with an emotionless glare.

Suddenly, the Earl looked down to see Gin impaling him with a large blade.

"You…" The Earl muttered as over where Leaf was, Gearz grimaced as he looked over at the Earl, and the Noah then disappeared into the ground without anyone else noticing.

"I'll be back…" The Earl muttered as Gin stared ahead emotionlessly.

"I'll be back! Count on it!" The Earl shouted as he disappeared into the air, and Gin calmly turned back around, and walked over to where Lena's body was lying.

"Leaf." Gin said, and Leaf perked up as he walked over to Gin.

"Yeah?" He asked sadly, and Gin lowered his head so his eyes were concealed.

"Go get me the scroll." Gin said, and Leaf froze as he stared at Gin.

"W-What!?"

"Just get me it."

"Okay…"

Leaf ran off toward the mansion as Gin bent down to lift Lena with his Innocence still activated.

He walked over to the center of the clearing, and he then fell to his knees as he stared at Lena while he started to cry again.

Later, Leaf walked back outside to see that Light and Aura had been buried, and Gin was finishing burying Lena.

"I brought it, Nii-san." Leaf muttered as he walked over and handed a scroll to Gin.

Gin took the scroll as he stood up, and then deactivated his Innocence.

Gin slowly opened the scroll to reveal a large pattern written in black ink.

"Put it on me."

"Nii-san?"

"Do it."

Leaf sighed as he looked at Lena's grave and then at Gin. "You want to kill the Earl for good, right?"

"Yes."

"… Fine." Leaf pressed the pattern against Gin's back, and then grimaced as the scroll glowed once, and Leaf then removed the scroll from Gin's back.

Gin walked over to the nearby pond, and he took his shirt off to reveal half of the pattern imprinted his back.

"Nii-san… Why did you only put half?"

"The Coldblood Emblem has the power to make the person imprinted with it live for around 14000 years, right? Which is why it was sealed away."

"yes, so why half?"

"I think 7000 should be enough to find and kill the Earl again when he comes back." Leaf stated as he smirked at Gin.

Gin put his shirt back on, and he then looked over at Leaf. "I see… Thank you, Nii-san."

Two Years Ago From Present Time

"Gin?" Kiki muttered as Gin jumped toward the large growing black ball.

Gin stopped as he reached the edge of the black ball, and he watched as it sent smoke everywhere.

He watched for a little while before perking up.

Gin's katana appeared from his hand, and he quickly jumped into the air as he stared down below at the floating figure with the Noahs near him.

"I found you… Earl!" Gin shouted as he slashed downward, and the Earl looked around as he swiftly brought his sword out, and blocked Gin's.

"Oh… It's you! The one who defeated me last time! How are you still alive?" The Earl wondered out loud, but chuckled as he and the Noah disappeared, and Gin landed on the ground as he gritted his teeth angrily.

"Damn you, Earl…"

"Lenalee!"

Gin's eyes widened as he looked through the smoke as several voices shouted.

"Allen!"

"Lavi!"

"Krory!"

"Lenalee Lee!"

"Kanda!"

Gin straightened up as he continued to look over at where the voices were coming from, and he then dissolved his katana as he turned away.

"How ironic… Lena's sister's descendant is here…" Gin muttered as he appeared near Kiki.

"Kiki, go get everyone."

"Why?"

"Because it's time for me revenge."

End Of Flashbacks

Gin walked down the hallway of the tower as he stared ahead of him.

I need to go to Lenalee!

"Allen… You ruined my revenge by defeating the Earl yourself." He muttered as he fingered Lena's locket in his hand.

No…

Gin smiled to himself as he put his hands into his pockets, and he then started to chuckle.

Let me go!

The rain poured outside as Gin turned the corner. "I told you personally not to interfere with my revenge by telling you in your dream, but you didn't listen to me." Gin muttered to himself as he grinned mysteriously.

No!

The image of Allen reaching toward the water, and the hand grabbing his before he could reach the surface flashed through Gin's mind as he chuckled.

Who… are you?

"If only you knew what I could have done to you then, Allen. I guess I should have stopped you for good back then, but I guess you didn't take the hint…" Gin muttered as he slowly started to dissolve into water vapor.

"Well… It's time for me to show you what you're messing with, boy."

Q.Q WAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! -cough- Sorry... So, Gin was the one who grabbed Allen at that time... Hehehe...

It's time for Gin's fight...

Next Chapter Preview: Night is reaching its end as Allen and the others now face against Gin Coldblood. However, Gin isn't out of secrets to show the group, and his greatest secret might just destroy them all.
