Authoress' Notes: I literally have no clue what I'm writing. I just wanted Eren x Kagome fluff.
Warnings: This is not a serious fic. There will be almost no plot. This is self-indulgent. No clear timeline yet if ever. Short chapters. Characters may be OOC, idk.
Pairings: Kagome x Eren with hints of Kagome x Harem and Eren x Mikasa
Eye Contact
It was only a week since the fresh recruits of the Survey Corps began their training. After a barrage of tear-jerking and nerve-breaking verbal insults and hounding from their drill instructor, the faint of heart immediately began to drop out. That was when the true training finally began. Utilizing the maneuver-gear was among the first of their lessons and it began today.
The remaining recruits stood at attention in their formation with firmly held stances and saluting with their fists over their hearts as Keith Sadies appeared before them with usual dark and intense gaze on his face. Curiously enough, a young woman who appeared to be the age of the new recruits stood behind him. "Wow, she's haaaaaawt!" Connie whispered like a typical young man to Jean, who merely stared with wide eyes and slack-jaw at her beauty.
Her frame was petite and tiny, which made her supple curves even more prominent. Her hair was a jet-black waterfall with a healthy sheen and her eyes an exotic deep-blue color that one did find often with dark hair. Her skin was fair yet slightly sun-kissed with the summer rays. In the eyes of many of the male recruits, she was an angel. Part of that may be attributed to the pristine, white holy robes that she adorned. The over-sized long-sleeves, shining black shoes, and matching white hat made her appear all the more holy.
"Atttttttention!" Keith barked at his recruits, although they were already standing at attention. "Today is the day that you future cannon fodder learn to make yourselves useful! But!" He paused for a moment while looking over his shoulder at his companion, "Before we begin, I want this young lady to introduce herself! Go ahead!"
The young woman smiled a silently 'thanks' and stepped forward to stand beside the grill instructor. "Hello, brave warriors~!" She greeted them warmly. "My name is Kagome Fischer and I am a representative of Shinto Church!" The young woman was obviously an experienced public speaker because as she spoke, she took the time to change her line of sight and establish eye contact with various members of her audience. "On behalf of my clergymen, I wish you all the best of luck in your training."
She looked at Armin and almost made him squirm.
"I know that training will be intense and nerve-wrecking so..."
She looked at Mikasa and trailed off for a moment, seemingly surprised to see her.
'She...kind of...looks similar to me...' Kagome noted but resumed her speech.
"our doors are always open to you for cleansing, confessions, or simply a temporary haven to clear your mind."
Finally, her blue eyes rested on Eren.
It was unintentional but his green eyes, fierce and stormy with emotions, drew her into them. And she forgot her public-speaking lessons. She forgot to look away and to continue establishing contact with other recruits. She stared, mouth slightly ajar.
Eren himself was too caught off guard that suddenly the young woman staring right at him. He twitched uncomfortably and immediately looked away to break the uncomfortable eye contact, his cheeks aflame. He mentally swore and glared at the ground for a moment, feeling ashamed and embarrassed of his reaction to simple eye-contact. 'Dammit!' He thought, 'what's with that girl?!'
Meanwhile Kagome stepped back behind the drill instructor. Her cheeks also on fire as she casted her gaze to the side while clutching her arm, feeling just as embarrassed as Eren, 'Dammit!' she mentally cursed. 'What's with this guy?!'
