Well, without further ado, read and enjoy! (Gives an extravagant bow.)

Summary: She lived in the walls with no memories of her past. She lived a peaceful life with the Jaegars, Mikasa, and her brother, until that day. When disaster strikes and her only family is ripped away from her, will she rise up from the ashes to fly free or will the past come back to haunt her? Only time would tell.

Chapter One: My Cage

Chaos.

Total chaos.

That was the only thought that went through her mind as she watched with wide eyes at the throngs of people screaming as they tried to escape from the destruction taking place.

Titans had breached Wall Maria and were now terrorizing Shiganshina District. Screams of terror could be heard as people were either being eaten alive by the titans or crushed to death by fallen debris.

Everything had turned into chaos in a blink of an eye.

"Nee-chan. Nee-chan, wake up."

Kagome stirred from her spot on the grass as her little brother shook her awake. "Mmhhmm…." She groaned before turning on her side to face her sibling. "Nani, Souta?" she mumbled in Japanese as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes.

Souta looked at his sister in exasperation as she sat up while stretching her arms above her head. "I've been looking for you everywhere!" he crossed his small arms as he looked at the basket full of herbs laying forgotten by her side and the book that lay open in her lap. "I can't believe you fell asleep here this whole time!" He grumbled, gripping the straps of the log carrier on his back as he stood up.

Kagome scratched her cheek in a sheepish manner as her brother complained. "Gomen, Gomen," she replied, dusting herself off as she got up with her basket in tow. "I guess I dozed off." She tucked her book under her arm before looking up at the sky, realizing the time.

They would need to be home for dinner soon.

With that thought in mind, she began her trek back towards town, Souta following along beside her.

"Ne, Souta," her brother looked up at her voice, "weren't you with Eren and Mikasa?" she asked her brother, wondering where the other two were. She knew the kids had went out together to gather firewood after lunch.

"I was," he replied as they followed the dirt trail, "but Mikasa went to look for Eren after we split up earlier." The other boy had gone to look for firewood elsewhere. When it was time to go home, Mikasa and he decided to split up to look for their siblings. Hopefully, Mikasa was able to find Eren.

Kagome silently nodded at his response before she spotted the two children in question also heading back to the village from another way.

"Eren! Mikasa!" she waved at them to get their attention as Souta ran to catch up, leaving her to follow at a slower pace. The other two paused at the shout of their names and waited for them to catch up.

"I guess you guys just finished your chores too, huh?" Kagome smiled as she reached them, seeing the firewood they were carrying on their back. But her expression became worried as she saw that the corner of Eren's eyes were a little red. "Eren, were you crying?" she asked as she pressed her fingers against the boy's skin.

It was unusual for the boy to cry. So to see that he had been crying made Kagome worry that something might've happened.

A blush spread on his face as his eyes widen at her concern, "It's nothing!" he said, pushing her fingers away as he glanced at Mikasa for a moment. "I just woke up from a dream, that's all." his brows furrowed in confusion even as he said this.

Kagome blinked at his response before glancing at Mikasa as they continued their trek. She sighed when the girl only shook her head, equally bemused, but looked down when she heard her brother snicker.

"Who knew both me and Mikasa would find you guys asleep in the middle of chores," he said, finding the whole thing funny. He then looked at Eren, nudging the boy while ignoring his sister's irritation. "Never thought you'd be the one crying, though. Since Nee-chan is usually the more emotional one," he said in a loud whispered and continued to snicker. "She was even drooling a little when I found her—Itai! What was that for?!" he grabbed his head in pain as looked at the older girl.

Kagome held up the book she was holding as she wore a sweet smile. "That was for being a brat," she answered before looking back at Eren. "Still, that must have been some dream if it made you wake up crying," she watched as the boy frown.

"…I don't really remember what it was…" he muttered as he looked down in thought. Mikasa just glanced at the boy in worry.

"Maybe you should let Oji-san take a look at you, since you were crying for no reason," she suggested as they went through one of the entryways into the town.

"Don't be stupid," he retorted. "As if I could tell Dad."

"It might be a good idea, though, Eren," Kagome cut in as the boy glared at Mikasa.

"Not you too, Kagome," he whined as he looked back at the older girl.

"What're you crying over, Eren?" A voice interrupted their conversation, and they looked back up front to see who it was.

"Hannes." The man stood in front of them as he looked at them with a smile, the smell of alcohol wafting around them as he lowered his flushed face closer to the children. "Did you get scolded by Kagome?"

Souta covered his nose at the smell as Eren replied. "What makes you think I'd cry?" he asked before coughing as he backed away from the stench.

"You reek of booze!" he exclaimed. The man just laughed at his accusation as a few other guards sat a few feet away from them, playing a game of cards as they helped themselves to a few drinks. A few empty bottles were littered around them. "You're drinking again?" disappointment could be heard in his voice as he looked at them.

Kagome also had a frown as she looked at the soldiers before facing the man in front of them. "Hannes-san, aren't you supposed to be working?"

"Don't worry about it," he waved off their concern as he laughed. "We're on wall guard duty today, so there's not much to do. Why don't you kids join us?" he gestured to their littered space and Kagome looked at the drunk men with a deadpanned expression.

"I don't think that would be a good idea," she said as she adjusted the basket on her hip. "And you should really stop drinking and get back to work, even if it is guard duty," she tried to persuade as she tugged the disgruntled boys along to pass by the blond man while Mikasa followed beside her. She paused when he started chuckling at her suggestion.

"Really, you worry too much, Kagome," he stated as he shook his head, "We've been here all day, so of course we were bound to get hungry and thirsty sooner or later. Besides," he shrugged his shoulders, "the fact that alcohol happens to be part of our drinks is just a trivial matter."

She frowned at his reasoning. That was certainly no excuse to be drinking on the job.

She felt Eren's grip tighten at the man's words.

"But what are you going to do when you have to fight?!" his shout made Hannes blink in surprise.

"Eh? And when would that be?"

Eren grit his teeth at the man's cluelessness. "Isn't that obvious?! When they break down the wall and storm the city!"

Silence rang around them with his words.

Hannes scratched his head as he sighed. "Hey, Eren. Don't start yelling so suddenly like that." He mumbled as one of his colleagues came over laughing.

"You're real lively, doctor's son!" he exclaimed as he stood in front of the boy. "If they ever manage to do that, you bet we'll get the job done," he jabbed a thumb towards his chest before looking at the others surrounding the boy. "Then again, it's been peace and quiet these past 100 years," he laughed in his drunken state.

"Even so, my dad said that it's the most dangerous whenever everyone let's their guard down like that!"

Kagome sighed as Eren continued to argue with the soldiers, Souta oddly quiet beside her. She knew that the only thing it would accomplish was make them late for dinner. This wasn't the first time Eren had gotten angry over the Garrison's lack of alertness towards their duty.

She understood Eren's reasoning. Really, she did. But if there was one thing she learned while living here, it was that no matter how much they tried, it would not change the minds of these men as long as humanity continued to live in peace behind the walls.

"—you should quit calling yourselves the 'Stationed Army Corps' and go by 'Wall Construction Worker Corps' instead!" She put hand on his shoulder to calm the boy down after his rant, but he just shrugged it off. "Eren," she was ignored as the boy continued to glare at the men.

"That doesn't sound half bad," Hannes joked before continuing, "But, you know Eren, to see soldiers working wouldn't bode well for us at all," he explained as he became somber. He put his hands on his hips as he looked at the boy, "It's when we're criticized by people who call us useless freeloaders that everyone's living in peace," he said with a smile.

Kagome could almost feel Eren's anger rolling off him in waves as he clenched his fist at his words.

"…So, you're saying…" his eyes were hidden under his bangs, "even if we're confined within these walls, we can keep on living, just eating and sleeping." He started trembling as he glared at the ground. "But that would be as if…as if we're just cattle," he ground out.

"Don't think you can keep me here on this side of the well, Inuyasha!" she screamed at the person in front of her in frustration as she glared at them. "I have a duty and it sure as hell isn't being cooped up here like some caged bird just because you want to 'keep me safe'!"

"Keh. Well, I'm saying you're staying here and that's final—!"

"Osuwari!"

Kagome winced in pain as a memory flashed in her mind, missing the worried look from her brother as he noticed. "Nee-chan?" he tugged on her sleeve in concern as Mikasa grabbed Eren by his collar to prevent the boy from doing anything stupid as the men just laughed at his words.

She shook her head and gave a reassuring smile to her brother. "It's nothing."

Just what in the world was that?

She didn't dwell on it for long as Eren began to walk away while ignoring the men as Hannes called out to him.

She gazed at the older man for a moment, noticing his shocked expression, before giving a brief apology as she followed the kids back home. She didn't miss the man's muttered words as she walked away.

"Don't tell me…he's wanting to join the Survey Corps?"

Kagome sighed as they once again began their trek home. "Eren," she called out to the younger boy as she walked beside him. Seeing him look at her from the corner of his eyes, she continued, "You're still thinking of joining the Scouts, aren't you." It wasn't a question.

She saw his eyes widen at her words but narrowed her gaze when Souta stiffened up on her other side. She looked at Mikasa when she spoke up.

"You should give up on joining the Survery Corps," she said softly as she looked ahead.

Eren huffed in anger at that. "Don't tell you're looking down on them too," he accused as he stared at them.

"Eren, this isn't about how we see them as," Kagome intervened as she stopped, making them do the same. "What would Oba-san say if she heard you?" her voice stern as she said this, but before he could answer her, bells started to chime off in the distance, signaling the opening of the gate at Wall Maria.

The Survey Corps was back from their latest expedition.

She blinked when the boys erupted with excitement.

"They're back!" Souta cried out beside his sister as he gazed at Eren in delight, the other doing the same.

Kagome almost tripped over her own two feet as the two pulled her along by her arms, almost dropping her things in the process. "C-chotto matte! Wait, Souta! Eren!" she yelled for them to wait, but they kept on going while Mikasa was pulled along with them as they chattered about how their "heroes" had come back triumphant this time.

"Come on Nee-chan, or we'll miss it!" her brother's voice was giddy as he continued running until they made it to where the people were crowding the sides of the streets to make way for the oncoming troop. They squeezed their way to the crowd, mumbling apologies here and there as they tried to get a glimpse of the soldiers before spotting a few crates stacked against a wall. Making their way over, Kagome sighed in relief once they climbed onto the crates, happy to not be squished in the crowd as she set her basket on the crate beside her.

However, her relief turned into shock the moment she saw the state the soldiers were in.

She could hear the gasps from the children beside her as she gazed at the depressing atmosphere surrounding the few soldiers that were left.

Almost half of the survivors were injured, most of them severely so. They looked as if they went through hell and back. What had happened?

"So few of them are returning…"

She listened as the crowd began to murmur amongst themselves about the state of the Survey Corps.

"It's been awful this time as well."

"There were over a hundred of them when they departed…now barely twenty are left. Did everyone else get devoured?" one man exclaimed as everyone saw the cruel truth.

While it hadn't been the first time she had seen the return of the Survey Corps, it didn't mean she was used to seeing the loss they sustained every time she did.

"Moses! Moses!"

Kagome's gaze turned towards an elderly woman who approached the front of the troops. She was calling out as if looking for someone.

"Excuse me!" she stopped in front of the commander the Survey Corps. "My son…I can't see my son Moses. What…what happened to my son?"

The 16-year old watched with pained eyes as she felt her stomach drop with dread at their expressions, realizing what it meant.

She closed her eyes and turned away from the scene as tears threatened to break free at the woman's mournful wail. Fists clenching at her sides, she continued to listen as the commander broke down when the woman asked him if her son had been useful to their cause.

"It was all for naught!" he was screaming in anguish and frustration, unable to hold it in anymore.

Tears spilled over her eyes as she opened them again to see the man crouched down and hunched over as he sobbed in front of the crowd.

"We couldn't find out where they come from! We couldn't discover a thing about them!"

Emotions began to stir in her as she took in his words.

Just what were these Titans that brought so much fear to the hearts of all the people? What was outside of those walls that would cause so much anguish and distress to those who dared to venture out? She shivered at the thought, part of her afraid, not only for herself, but for her loved ones.

Because the walls were the only thing protecting them from the threat of titans, if they were to fall…then…they would...

A smaller hand grasping her own brought her out of her dark thoughts and she glanced down to see Souta holding her hand in a tight grip as he watched the whole scene with wide eyes, his expression stricken. She glanced to the other two and saw them both in a similar state as people began to murmur at the commander's outburst.

"Come on you guys. We should get home—", she began, but paused as some civilians in front of her began to talk to each other.

"To think they could have lived peaceful lives inside the wall, they would've been fine. Our taxes could be better spent than on them soldiers. What a waste," someone muttered darkly.

Her eyes narrowed at their words as anger began to bubble inside of her.

"As it is, our taxes essentially serve to fatten "them" up by sending out our men as free meals," another man stated with discontent and scorn as the other man grunted in agreement.

Fists clenched, she opened her mouth to say something when the man was hit in the back of the head by none other than Eren.

"Ouch!"

She blinked as she was once again pulled away, this time by Mikasa as she dragged Eren with her in their escape. Souta barely managed to grab Kagome's things they almost left behind as he ran with them. They could hear the man shouting at them in anger.

"You goddamn brats—oof!" the man was cut off as a piece of wood struck him in the face.

"Souta!" she scolded as he turned back around and continued running. He had a sheepish grin as they continued to run.

Once they rounded a corner, they screeched to a halt and Kagome watched bewildered as Mikasa proceeded to hurdle Eren at the wall.

"Mikasa!" she said to the younger girl. "that was uncalled for," she chided once she had her attention. When Mikasa didn't say anything, she sighed and went over to Eren and the firewood that was scattered everywhere when he hit the wall. "You okay Eren?" she asked in concern.

He just groaned as he shook his head. "What was that for, Mikasa?! Now the wood's all over the ground," he looked at the girl for an explanation.

"…" Mikasa just looked at him as he continued to stare at her.

"Mikasa-chan," Kagome called out to her.

Mikasa looked at her for a moment before opening her mouth. "…Eren hasn't changed his mind. He still wants to join the Survey Corps…" she stated quietly and watched as both their eyes widened, one in surprise and the other in accusation.

Kagome turned to the younger boy. "Eren." He flinched at her tone. "How long are you going to keep thinking about that? You already know your mom doesn't want you to!" she reprimanded the boy as he turned his face from her. How many times had he argued with his mother about it in the past and he was still saying that?

"But why?"

The question had her glance at her brother in shock. He had been standing there quietly the whole time. "What?"

Souta looked at her with furrowed brows as he asked again. "Why can't we?" He clenched the basket he was holding. "It's just like Eren said. All we're doing is hiding behind these walls like cattle. Doing nothing…" he paused for a moment when Mikasa grabbed his shoulder in comfort, turning his gaze to her as he continued, "They're the only ones fighting for us. For humanity."

Mikasa could only turn her head away at that.

Souta then looked at Eren. "I'm going to be a soldier too! I'm going to join the Survey Corps!" His eyes burned with determination as he stared at him, the other doing the same.

"…Souta," Kagome stopped herself from saying anything else, feeling weary. How long had he been thinking about this? Was this what he was keeping secret from her?

She shook away the thoughts, not wanting to deal with them for now. "…Let's just hurry and go home. Oba-san is probably worried sick," she said as she began to pick up the fallen wood. She looked up at the sky. "Dinner is probably ready by now," she exclaimed as she placed the wood back on Eren's back. With that, the four headed back home.

"We're back!" Kagome exclaimed as they entered the house, smelling the food on the stove. "Something smells delicious!"

They were greeted by Eren's parents as they went into the kitchen.

"Welcome home, children. You're just in time for dinner," Carla exclaimed, her husband giving a quiet greeting as he read a book while sitting at the table. She turned towards them as Kagome set the basket on the counter while the others put the wood up. "Looks like you've all been working extra hard today. Especially you, Eren," she said with a smile as she saw all the wood they brought home.

"Y-Yeah," he stuttered as she went over to him, flinching when she pulled on his ear, "Ouch! Mom, what was that for?" he rubbed the sore spot as his mother looked at him with a tilt of her lips.

"I know when you're lying, Eren," she said, a twinkle in her eye as she went back over to the stove. "I'm sure Souta and Mikasa helped you again."

Eren glared at Souta in irritation when he covered a snicker with a cough.

Carla just shook her head at their antics as she went back to stir the soup with a ladle.

"I'll set up the table, Oba-san," Kagome said as she washed her hands at the sink and went to help.

Once dinner was served, the table was filled with light conversation as they enjoyed their meal.

"Are you going out, Oji-san?" Souta asked, ripping a piece of bread as he saw the older man's medical bag sitting next to him on the bench.

Eren paused from scarfing down his own meal as he noticed it too. "You have to work?" he half guessed.

"Yes. I have a couple of examinations to attend to in the inner walls," Grisha explained as he finished his soup before closing the notebook in his hand and placing it in his bag. "It will probably take me a few days."

The boys just nodded their head at his words as they resumed their meal.

"…Eren and Souta want to join the Survey Corps."

Everyone paused what they were doing and looked at Mikasa.

"M-Mikasa." Kagome stared in surprise and glanced towards Carla to see her reaction. She flinched at her expression, noticing how livid she was.

"Mikasa! How could you? I told you to keep it a secret—" Eren was cut off by his mother as she shouted his name.

"Eren!" Carla grabbed him by his shoulders, "How many times have I told you, you can't?!" she reprimanded and then looked at the boy beside him "and you, Souta! I cannot believe you are following along with your brother!" The boys looked at her with wide eyes as she continued to scold them for thinking about such a thing. "Do you have any idea what you are thinking?! Of all the people who go outside the walls, do you have any idea how many have lost their lives?!"

"O-Of course we do!" Eren retorted while Souta sat there, nodding his agreement.

"Then why—"

Eren's father stayed quiet for a moment, gazing at the two boys, before speaking up.

"Boys."

The boys looked at him as he spoke.

"Why do you want to go outside?" he pushed his glasses up while asking the question. His voice was curious as he stared at them seriously.

The two looked at each other before Eren spoke. "We wanna know what's out there. We don't want to live our whole lives inside the walls, clueless to the outside."

Souta voiced his agreement. "We're sick of living here like cattle, not knowing when anything might happen."

"And," Eren continued, "If no one here wants to pick up where they left off, all the people who laid down their lives so far did so in vain," they're eyes were strong as they stared at Grisha, showing their resolve.

Kagome felt nervous as the man continued to stare at the boys in contemplation.

"…I see." He got up from his seat and grabbed his things. "The ship will be there soon. I'll be on my way now," he said, putting on his hat as he headed out the door.

"Wait, dear—" Carla spoke up as she followed him to the door. "You need to talk some sense into them," she pleaded with her husband, pausing when he looked at her.

"Carla," her husband began. "When someone is on a quest, there's no such thing as talking them down," he stated, his glasses glinting as he opened the door to head out.

Kagome was shocked to say the least. What did he mean by that?

Was he giving them his permission?

"Boys," Grisha turned to his son as he stared at him. "Remember that room in the basement which I've always kept secret?" he asked as he withdrew a chain hidden underneath his shirt, revealing a key at the end of it. "Well, when I get back, I'll show it to you two," he said.

Eren's eyes widen at that as he looked to his father, Souta staring beside him. "For…for real?!"

His father simply nodded as he left through the door, the family following him out to say goodbye.

"Bye Oji-san!"

"Bye Dad! Don't forget you're promise!"

The two boys waved enthusiastically toward Eren's father as everyone stood outside the front porch.

Kagome was quiet as she absently waved to the older man, her mind deep in thought from Grisha's earlier words.

"You two," Kagome looked at Carla as the woman gave the two boys a warning look. "Do not even think about it," her voice stern as she looked at them disapprovingly.

"But Ba-san—" Souta began.

"No 'buts' Souta. And you either, Eren," she said sharply as her son opened his mouth to retort. "Only a fool would consider joining the Survey Corps," her voice was strict as she said this.

Eren became angry at his mother's words. "…A fool, you say?" he asked and stared straight at his mother. "As far as I'm concerned, those who would buy their own safety at the cost of living cooped up like cattle are bigger fools!" He ignored her shocked expression as he tugged Souta's hand. "Let's go, Souta."

The boy looked back and forth between Eren and his mother for a moment with uncertainty before following him as they ran away.

"Eren! Souta! Get back here!" Kagome sighed in aggravation when they simply ignored her, continuing to run off. "This is getting out of hand," she mumbled as she rubbed her temple. She gazed at the older woman when she let out a long sigh, looking at the direction the boys ran off to.

Carla grabbed her hand while looking at her earnestly.

"Kagome, you know how those have a habit of getting into trouble," her grip tightened as she looked to the direction they went. "When something happens, please be there for them," she looked back at her and stared into her blue eyes, her own brown orbs shining with worry as she looked at Mikasa, "all of them." She squeezed the younger girl's shoulder as she said this.

Kagome and Mikasa glanced at each other as they took in her words and nodded.

Kagome then put her arms around the older woman, giving her a reassuring hug before looking back at. "Don't worry, Oba-san. I'll make sure they stay safe. Everything will turn out fine." She gave one last hug before grabbing Mikasa's hand and headed in the direction the boys had ran off to, waving at the woman as they left.

"Let's go, Mikasa-chan."

"Hai…Nee-san."
