So I had an idea; what if Kikyo was reborn as a human but was a member of the rare Ackerman family. Her spiritual powers came from a descent of monks and priestesses; but her fighting skills came from the Ackermans.

She could infuse her swords with her powers making her stronger and allowing her to take down titans and preventing them from regenerating by slicing off their heads.

PS; I've changed Kikyo's age to 21; as she would have been about 18 when she started training making her the oldest in her class. Kaede is a bit older too around 13 so she is around 2 years younger than Eren and Mikasa.

Anyway please read and review

Kikyo stood quietly by the walls as she looked upon the titans below her. She had already known what to expect from choosing this life; but they were far bigger and more dangerous than the demons she had fought before. However she had no doubt she could defeat them; she had fought demons the size of giants before and taken them all down.

They were stronger but were less intelligent than the demons. They lumbered and attacked randomly; but their strength was nothing to sniff at. They were truly fearsome opponents and very dangerous indeed. But she could win; she knew it in her heart that she would be able to fight them and win against them no matter what.

She had spent the last 3 years training herself to fight these beasts ranking number one in her class of 106th. Nobody was able to beat her skill and capabilities; she just put it down to them not taking training seriously. They would be facing life or death situations; how could they take such a thing so lightly? Did they not know what they signed up for?

Her brown eyes were solemn, hard and cold; lacking any emotion other than sadness or just plain rage. She knew that there was a chance her teammates may die; that they may fail but she would keep fighting no matter what. She would keep fighting until her last breath just like she had before; she would fight for her life and for the sake of protecting the innocent.

Her black hair tumbled down her back blowing quietly in the wind. She had been forced to tie it back in training though it never bothered her during fighting the titans. But to appease her teammates she had tied it back in a ponytail. She didn't know why hair was such an issue here; she had fought fine with it long as a priestess so why was it a problem now?

"Lieutenant Kikyo" a voice said firmly. She was the leader of her team due to being the strongest and the most capable in battle; it just came to her so naturally that they didn't argue. They didn't doubt her opinion or her strategy; for she was truly a skilled fighter and had high intelligence winning many fights before.

Her teammates were all good fighter and skilled at their job; but they were nowhere as good as she was. They fought hard and respected her; but even some of them had envy towards her. However it only ever came to jealousy and petty comments; nobody dared ever go against her physically.

Kikyo looked up quietly her front bangs blowing in the wind. The other recruit tried not to blush as she looked up to him. She was aware many of her comrades thought her beautiful. She herself thought little of it; even back then she had never been able to indulge in her femininity so why bother doing so now?

"What is it?" she asked curiously. So far only a few small number of titans had gotten in; not many but some; however, there were enough soldiers on the ground to deal with the enemy. Had something else happened or gone wrong? Just how bad had they managed to fuck up?

"There's been some damage in the lower city; we need you to recover the lower recruits. There are some held up in the tower and some in the lower squares; we are sending a rescue team now" the scout explained. There were a bunch of surviving team members held up in a tower. They had broken through the windows and were now held up in the back; but the titans were trying to break inside.

While there were not that many attacking; the people inside were still at risk. Many of the cadets were still novices; so, fighting them off would not be an easy feat. So far there were 4 skilled fighters inside but that would not be enough; Annie Leonhart, Reiner Braun, Jean Kirtsein and Bertholdt Hoover.

Outside of there were some scattered scouts who needed rescuing immediately. Eren Yeager was supposedly devoured saving his best friend, Armin Arlert was in shock after witnessing it and Mikasa Ackerman was currently missing after her gas canister ran out. They were currently searching for her but had no way of finding her whatsoever.

"I see; have they called for backup?" she asked curiously. Surely the core should be here to help about such a matter. I mean this was an emergency after all. Why were they not here now? Did they just show up when it suited them? How unprofessional.

The cadet nodded "Yes; the core is on their way but there is no telling when they will arrive" he explained. God knows they were running out of time as it was. If they didn't get here soon there would be worse tragedies. This was becoming a joke and nothing was getting done.

Kikyo sighed heavily; she was used to blood and death and fighting. It was all she had ever known and it was part of her very being. It seemed her life could not exist without any form of chaos. It revolved around her like a dark cloud before a storm; always lingering in the background mocking her.

It seemed the life she had longed for beside the one she loved was a dream now. He was gone; living a new life with another woman. But she wished it wasn't so; however, she was only glad to know he was happy. She knew that he would be loved and accepted and would become stronger by her side.

She then headed off in the direction to leave; she might as well continue fighting and save who she could. Her duties as a priestess had also been to protect the innocent as well as fight demons. "Is this my fate? To forever be locked in battle surrounded by blood and death?" Kikyo wondered mentally as she headed into battle.

Somehow she had memories from a past life; from a land, different from this one but still as dangerous. Fighting demons and surrounded by death and suffering; losing one's she loved and filled with a vengeance. Something inside her back then had burned with hatred; but why she didn't know.

She couldn't remember very well but she saw one face she did remember. A silver haired boy with glowing amber eyes; a man she had loved and cared for deeply. A boy named InuYasha; but that was all she remembered. She could remember his voice, his touch, his warmth, his love everything. She could remember everything about him; he was burned into her very soul. For whatever reason her soul could not forget him.

There were other faces too; some male and some female. But she could not remember their names nor why she knew them. They were all smiling but also crying; if only she knew who they were to her. They had all called her name many times in many different ways; so why didn't she know theirs? How had she forgotten?

She could only guess they had been friend of some kind; one of them looked like her and was close to InuYasha. However, her heart ached with rage when she saw her; meaning she didn't want to remember that person because they hurt her. But in what way had they? How bad had it been to make her want to forget?

Slowly she stabbed her gear into the wall and started lowering herself along with her team. She didn't have time to think of such things now; she had to think about saving the survivors. If she kept thinking about such things it would only get in the way of fighting and saving the remaining lives; that was something she couldn't afford right now.

As they lowered one of her teammates saw her conflicted expression. Worried for her well being they spoke up "Lieutenant Kikyo; are you feeling ok?" they asked curiously. While she had always been quiet even during her training days; she looked truly sad today. Like she had lost something dear to her; but as far as she knew she only had one sibling who was protected within the inner walls.

Kikyo snapped out of her daze and smiled apologetically "Sorry; it seems my head keeps filling with odd thoughts" she explained. Why were all these images filling her head? What did they mean? Why were they coming back now to bother her all of a sudden?

She knew her life with InuYasha was over; she knew that if he was aware she was reborn as a human again he would chase after her but she didn't want that. What they had was now over and nothing could change that. Even if her heart longed for him to be with him was impossible now.

She couldn't have a normal or happy life; she wasn't meant to have such a thing because it was wrong. She was born to fight and it was all she would ever be able to know; it was her fate. She could not untie the bonds of fate which bound her to forever fight and destroy evil and corruption.

But who were the other people? Who was the girl who had a boomerang and a cat? Who was the monk with the playful smile? Who was the girl who wore her face and loved her beloved? If only she could remember why she had forgotten or why she ever knew them. If it would help her understand she would be happy to let them in; but they remained shrouded in fog.

As they lowered down the wall a few of Kikyo's teammates had been staring at her for hours. It was hard not to; given how fucking beautiful she was; the woman was literally angelic. They all knew she was of Asian descent making her a rarity. Most of her kind had been killed off but she was one of the few survivors next to Mikasa Ackerman; a lower ranking cadet.

While it seemed highly unlikely a few wondered if she was capable of being an Ackerman. Her skills during training had been god like and she surpassed everything with ease and superiority. Even Shadis had been scared of her; and he was one of the most hard core people you would ever come across.

Her fighting skills were nothing short of amazing; beating almost everyone in her class. Her written skills were best in her class, her capability of using and mending 3D gear was expertise and her abilities mirrored both Mikasa and Levi Ackerman.

"Hey…" one of the male teammates whispered quietly as they slid down the wall. They were lower down but even so speaking quietly would be a good idea. She had hearing like the devil so she would overhear them.

"What?" a female cadet asked. They had a job to do; now was not the time for basic chit chat and pleasantries. They were the backup until the core arrived. If they failed then other people would pay for their actions.

"You think Lieutenant is the same as Mikasa Ackerman or Captain Levi?" he asked curiously. While the possibility was slim, it seemed a very possible suspicion; no other bloodline was capable of fighting that good.

The girl became thoughtful then said "No doubt about it! There's no other name that fights that good" she stated firmly. From the short missions, she had been on with Kikyo; her skills were literally a one-woman army. She could take on anyone without help or backup whatsoever.

While she was a good fighter herself; compared to Kikyo she was average. On top of that the fact that Kikyo infused her blades with some form of power further verified this suspicion. During training, she had never given a surname and said she didn't know it. Her parents had never told her what her surname was to protect her which had raised flags.

In other facts, they knew few things about her personal life. She had a younger sister who was about 13 who was living inside the inner walls for protection and was under the care of the police. Her parents were dead for unknown reasons and she had raised her sister alone since they were young. Other than that, no data or background was given on Kikyo making her very mysterious.

As they continued muttering Kikyo sighed heavily but remained quiet. Why were they all so interested in her? Why was her life so interesting to them? Were they always this nosy? She had become quite the topic of discussion since she joined the core. Had they nothing else to talk about? Surely they could find other ways to amuse themselves.

"If you have time to gossip; then perhaps you can think of a plan" Kikyo retorted coldly. They had more pressing business at hand right now than for them to talk about her behind her back. What was it with teenagers and constantly talking about their peers?

The two cadets laughed nervously and apologized for their rudeness saying they meant no harm. They were just curious and admired her a great deal; she did let them off but asked them to concentrate. Now was not the time to get distracted by their personal opinion about her.

However, she did find it tedious; even in that old life she could recall she was talked about. Always being the topic of someone's conversation in both good and bad ways which angered her. Since she came to this world she had become popular and many people wanted to know her or talked about her. Could she get no peace and quiet? Was everyone going to pester her?

"At least my brief end was peaceful" she muttered quietly. Even if her death was short; it had been peaceful and she had managed to let go of her regrets. But one answer still lingered in her mind; why? Why had she come back? For what purpose and what reason? Why had she been reborn and what had caused it?

What had left her soul so unsettled that she had to come back? What had her soul been yearning for so strongly to cause her to be brought back from death once more? What was it she longed for again after all this time?
