My first Shingeki No Kyojin fanfic. :3
Summary: After a failed pursuit for the 4 titanshifters, Mikasa and the others went back to the town of Trost. Mikasa is injured. But so is Rivaille..What will happen if they are stuck up together until their recovery?
"Mikasa! Mikasa!", Armin shouted at Mikasa as the group encountered ten 13-20 meter class deviant type of titans while they were on their way on pursuit for the 4 shapeshifter titans. Among them is Eren and Mikasa couldn't shook off from her mind if Eren is still alive or dead. Mikasa was not totally focused upon what's happening until Armin shouted at her. While on horses, two 20 meter class abnormal titans were running faster across to the group. "Ackerman!", Irvin shouted at her. The group was about to be divided by 3 but there was no time for the group to separate. Among the 3 groups, one should be headed by Mikasa. "Can you take that one abnormal titan down? We'll take care of the another one." Irvin asks her, "I will, Commander!" She replied. Preparing the 3D Maneuver Gear, she jumps from her horse and swung across where the Titan was running at.
It was a success that she brought it down and she too landed on the ground but unknowingly, another abnormal 13 meter titan which is nearer to them runs faster towards her. She was still on the ground until Jean shouts, "Mikasa! Get away from there now! another titan is running!" Mikasa was about to shoot the 3DMG on a tall tree but the gas tank went malfunctioned. With her calm façade, seeing the titan was getting nearer, she was still fixing the tank to her 3DMG but it was too late. The titan was about to grab her and she was able to dodge its hand. Mikasa's group encountered another titan again one after another and they weren't able to focus on how they're going to help Mikasa. She dodged and dodged the titan's hand but since the titan was fast, its fist hits her right shoulder and she was thrown back. In pain and wasn't sure if she was able to move upon the impact of her hips on the ground, she lost her hope and closes her eyes. By the thought if the titan was going to eat her, it was already brought down by Commander Irvin. "Ackerman! Are you alright?!" Irvin immediately asked her as another member came to her and scooped her and placed her on the back. "I'm….I can't move my right shoulder" Still shivering from pain, she tried not to show it to her higher ups. "I'm afraid we have to fall back for now. I already ordered the other group to retreat. The other group encountered 30 or more titans going here and only few of them came back to report. We can't afford more casualties" Irvin said sternly "But Sir…" Mikasa continued "I understand you Ackerman. But with the numbers of our troops we won't be able to defeat them" Irvin replied back. "Hai.." Mikasa said slowly with head bowed down…Scouting Legion had to retreat from their pursuit and had to go back to the Trost. Mikasa was still in pain yet she can't help but think of Eren's safety.
The gates opened for the troops to go back in. Few of them are injured when they came back. Among people who welcomed them back are Dott Pixis, Hanji, who still has bruises and scratches and Rivaille, with an injury on the leg.
Irvin reported to Pixis along with Hanji and Rivaille. After the report, Rivaille caught Mikasa who was walking unbalanced and was supported by Armin. "Mikasa, how's your shoulder?" Armin asked sadly. "I'll be fine Armin. You don't need to worry a lot about me. We should focus more on how we are going to rescue Eren." Mikasa replied "B-But your injuries!" Armin asked as he checked on her right shoulder and touched it lightly "Hngh!...Please don't touch that..I'll be fine Armin, don't worry" as she cringed from pain. "Looks like your shoulder got fractured", Rivaille interrupted as he went over the two. "I-I'll be fine Sir" Mikasa replied back and looks away "No you are not. That fracture will only get worse if you keep using that arms of yours.." the corporal said sternly. "I..need to be well and get Eren back" she spats. "I see. But you don't have to be stubborn this time Ackerman, with your injury you'll be a hindrance to others." The corporal said it the by the matter of fact that her right arm and shoulder is where she usually uses it in terms of combat and slicing titans. Her hip is in pain too and she can barely move her right arm cause of the injury. "I…." Mikasa started, "I'll be going now. Arlert, take Ackerman to the medical tent and have those people tend her. Don't be hard headed this time Ackerman." Rivaille said as he walks away. Mikasa suddenly remembered that she was also the reason why Rivaille was injured. She felt bad. "Let's go, Mikasa" as Armin helps her friend from walking. As the two walks, Mikasa couldn't help but rather feel all disappointed and sad, and angry to herself.
Rivaille halts from his walking and thinks, "Tsk…Why am I acting all caring to people this time?" he turns and looks back to the two. "And to her."
Next up! Rivaille's POV! :3
