Chapter One:

Father Levi x Daughter Character

Welcome back! I'm sorry I lied about the full metal alchemist, I just couldn't leave a five year chunk out of Levi and Ensrahi's life. This is gonna be a little different, as it's not gonna have a POV but rather focus on different characters. I can't exactly create a 7 year old POV without being vague... That just isn't my style. As you guys know. I do not own anything from Snk, and I just thought this would be a cute idea.

-Levi-

"Mister, where exactly are we going?" The little girl asked, as Levi grunted. He didn't understand why four-eyes stuck him with the child. Levi wasn't interested, nor was he willing to take care of it. The only reason he'd take care of the child is if she shared a mutual interest of cleaning, because he didn't want to have to clean up the mess a child would make. Levi knew that if he had to clean up after the little brat, than his paperwork would never get done. As if it was never done in the first place.

"Mister?" She bothered him again, as the little girl pulled on his cloak.

"Will you be quiet, brat?" He asked roughly as the little girl's eyes seem to darken and she looked down in silence. The entire battalion stopped, Erwin deciding it was finally time to have lunch; knowing most of his squad puked out most of their food along the way through a desolate Trost. Levi got off of his horse, guiding Shadow amongst the others letting the little girl ride on him. The horse nickered, and shook his head as she reluctantly reached out to pet the mane. Levi glanced over to see her arms were covered in filth and dried splatters of blood, her long raven hair dull and unhealthy. She bore rags of what could have been an expensive dress from Sina, and her entire figure was thinner than any child Levi had seen in his underground days. It saddened him, knowing that this little girl had been through hell at such a young age... Almost like him.

Levi gave a small 'tch' dismissing the thoughts, though his ears picked up a delicate rumble of a stomach nearby.

"Brat are you hungry?" He asked, looking up to the little girl who was blushing furiously. She pulled the cowl of his hood farther on her face, hiding her embarrassment. Levi let a sly smile slip his lips upon her actions, at least not before a certain Titan-loving squad leader tackled him in a hug causing him to slip off the reigns, and the arm of Hanji slapped the horse.

It whinnied, reared, the little girl's eyes widened at the motion as her own small hands held onto the leather straps and pulled back. The horse nickered, and registered the action as it stopped its behavior and lowered its self to the ground with a gasping little girl on the back. Levi and Hanji starred at the little girl, but it wasn't before long when Levi punched Hanji off of him.

"Ow! What was that for?!" She asked as Levi glared at her.

"For fucking scaring my horse and the girl!" He answered back angrily.

"It's not my fault your horse is so jumpy!" Hanji argued. Levi was about to answer before the little girl's stomach began to rumble again. Hanji beamed, as she picked up the little girl and put her on her shoulders.

"Come on kiddo, let's get you some food!" She smiled, as Levi sighed and shook his head in disappointment as he tied his horse down and followed the two. Mainly because he didn't was four-eyes scaring the shit out of the kid.

The battalion had stopped at a small market near one of the wall entrances to Wall Sina, so there was plenty of food to pick from. It was impressive to Levi how fast the merchants set up shop, it also disgusted him about how they only came for business and not to help people relocate into their homes. The little girl was eventually put down, as she looked at the many food stalls around. Levi watched her closely as eventually she just settled on a piece of bread that was no different than what she ate normally. Levi grunted as he eventually put the piece of bread back and picked the girl up. She yipped, reaching for her bread as he growled at her in protest.

"No, we're gonna get you some real food. Not some stale piece of shit." Levi grumbled as the girl looked at her with wide eyes. Levi moved eventually to a tavern, and sat the girl in a chair.

"Stay brat." He ordered, as he went to a waitress nearby and began to speak to her.

-Ensrahi-

The little girl swung her legs back and forth in the chair, waiting patiently for the man to come back. He eventually returned with a plate of food, some of it warm, most was cold. She could see greens, and a lot of them. Than the man put a small cup with a warm dark liquid in front of her. It smelled wonderful.

"Alright brat, do you know what any of this is?" The man asked, sitting next to her as the little girl shook her head. He sighed frustratedly, than picked up a fork, stabbed some of the meal and held it out to her.

"Open up." He ordered, as the little girl opened up her mouth. He put in the fork, as she shut her mouth and began to chew. It wasn't much, but she felt full already. The man held out another small forkful as the girl shook her head. The man frowned as he than cupped her mouth causing her to open it and out the food in. It wasn't much but even still it made the girl feel like she was going to puke.

"Alright, that's all you get for now." The man ordered, and began to eat the rest of the meal. She looked at the cup of black liquid and took it in her hands, beginning to sip. It was hot, yet it didn't burn but it was a leafy bitter.

"Like tea kid?" The man asked, and she nodded as there seemed to be a sparkle in his eye that was redeemed again. After the man finished eating and sharing his tea with the girl, he ordered the waitress to clean up the mess; leaving a mighty tip. He picked up the girl and went up to the room he had reserved by the woman she remembered with glasses earlier.

Opening the door, he set the girl on the bed. She watched as the man opened another door, and she heard the sound of running water, steam beginning to curl from the bathroom. The little girl began to wonder what the man was doing as he walked out with his uniform jackets off and his shirt sleeves rolled up.

"Stand up kid." He ordered lightly as she jumped from the bed and landed on her tiny bony feet. He came over to her, kneeling and began to pull the dirty rags over her head. At first she was embarrassed as she was lifted up naked and the man put her in warm water. Almost instantly blood began to faze off of her into the water. It was like shedding skin almost. The little girl blinked as she looked up from the bath into the man's eyes. He looked almost happy actually, as he began to take a clean rag and lifted her arms, scrubbing her down. At first she winced from the man rubbing her raw, but she understood enough as to why. Her skin was so delicate, the first layer came off in almost two scrubs. After scrubbing her down, the man began to lightly pour a bucket of water over her hair. It was clean water, and he only poured about half of it. The girl shivered lightly when the water stopped, as the man began to scrub her hair thoroughly. Blood dripped from the suds, mixing with the water. By the end of the bath, the water had turned a dark blood red. The man pulled out the girl, and she shivered but not after when a white towel was wrapped around her. The man began to dry her off, as he observed his work.

Her hair was shining underneath the light, as her skin was almost as pale as his. The man was almost disgusted about how skinny she was. He was reminded too much of how the man was as a kid...

"Hold on kid, I'll get you some clothes." He walked out of the room with the kid wrapped in a towel.

-Levi-

It was awful. He felt horrible watching the poor girl since at every move he made to clean her. Levi watched as the dark skin turned from near black to a pale complexion that could have easily matched his own. His fingers ran through her long thick hair as dirt and grime came from each stand and drifted into the murky water below. Levi knew he'd have to give her another bath after they moved to the new HQ, well technically old one, but still. He felt inclined to keep an eye on her.

Leaving out of the room, Levi walked next door to see the luggage of a family with a little boy's clothes. They would have to do for now. Walking back over to the room, the little girl was no where to be found. At first he panicked, wondering if some pervert had come in and stolen her. But than he heard the shuffle in the closet, and a yelp. Levi opened up the door, finding the little girl in the closet, wrapped in the towel tightly. He sighed, and gestured for the girl to come out. She crawled out lightly, as Levi snatched her up putting on the clothes before she could say a thing. Sitting the little girl on the bed, she blinked confused before finally smiling.

"...who are you?" She asked. Her tiny voice finally coming out, as Levi smiled back at her. She smiled bigger and hugged him tightly.

"You're amazing Mister, thank you so much for helping me!"
