Once again, the cold, damp, and cramped basement prison was what awaited Rin. Kurikara was not in his possession either. He no longer had a reason to hide anything so his long navy colored tail was shifting around behind him. He had gone over the events of the past in his head. Rin had to wait for Yukio to come to him. He guessed that Yukio might not even come at all, due to his other form being found out, but he knew now that Eren was not in fact a demon like him. What had they said it was? Transformer? Changer? No those weren't it . . . Shifter. Yes, they had called his power 'Titan Shifter' or something like that.

A particular thought haunted Rin's mind most of all. Yukio was going to be pissed at him for being found out. Rin shivered a little. Sometimes Yukio could be more petrifying than Satan. And that's saying a lot.

(POV SWAP)

Hange was trying her best to keep calm, miserably failing—of course. Levi was—as usual—scowling, and Erwin was trying to process the suggestion that was given. Yukio was also there, nervously standing and awaiting his and his brother's fate. He just couldn't believe that Rin had revealed himself, even if it was for self-defense or even to protect someone else. If Yukio ever got to see Rin again, he'd be giving his older brother an earful. That was for sure.

The tense silence was put to an end as Erwin looked at Yukio. "Eren Jaeger believes your brother is no threat, can you concur to that?" Erwin inquired. "Yes, sir. My brother wouldn't hurt anyone," Yukio felt he should add a bit of truth. "As long as they don't hurt him or anyone he cares for." He was nervous, could that have sounded like a threat? Would they believe his words? No, he had to stay calm. Whatever decision they make, he can't interfere. It had always been that way. With the Grigori, and all the Vatican and True Cross Order. He had never meddled with their decisions.

Yukio felt hapless. Well that was selfish, his brother was the one in a cage. Rin was always in a cage. How many times was he almost sentenced to death? How many times had he almost been killed protecting others? How many times had Yukio played along with people he knew as a threat? How many times had Yukio felt defective? How many times had Rin smiled at him? Even if his own face was smothered with blood? Yukio hated how negative he was. This time for sure, if it came to that point, he'd definitely protect his brother.

But, it seemed he didn't have to. "I've decided," Erwin said after thinking for a few more minutes. "Rin Okumura will be useful to the Survey Corp, don't you think? Levi, Hange?" Hange jumped for joy and Levi stood there and nodded slightly. Yukio was relieved but there was another feeling. He felt like a coward.

(POV SWAP)

Rin jumped as footsteps echoed through the room. Once again Hange, Erwin, and Levi came down and stopped in front of his cell. Yukio was with them. Rin's tail drooped a bit, Yukio noticed the flaunted tail and glowered, almost on the same level as Levi. Rin look at him with apologetic puppy eyes. He hoped it worked but it probably didn't. Rin's attention was redirected to Erwin. He had a serious expression. "Rin Okumura, if you cooperate with us, we will not question you about what you are," Rin was perplexed, what did that mean? "If you assist our cause to help humanity we can keep this . . . power of yours a secret from the rest of the Branches and public." Now Rin understood better. So they wanted his power to assist them in their 'war' against those giants and maybe those boys he and Eren were captured by? If that is what was meant, then he'd be more than obliged. Rin looked through the bars at Yukio, then back at Erwin. He smiled widely and responded, "damn sure I'll help!"

Levi once again saw the warm blue glint of fire in the boy's eyes. It was beautiful, but some how gave him an anomalous feeling in his soul. Something about this brat's 'fire' felt dire. Like the devil himself were present . . .

Rin and Yukio were given places amongst the younger soldiers. Yukio took a liking to Armin, probably because of their similar IQs. Rin and Eren were close too, but Mikasa was always lurking around at Eren's shoulder—which was quite creepy. Mikasa was somewhat kind underneath all her motionlessness so she was probably just 'guarding' Eren. Rin was really bad with this kind of thing but he could guess she liked him, in more than one way.

Rin was starting to trust these people. He liked them, from weird personalities to dark and confined personalities he was cool with it. Some of the younger soldiers reminded him of some of his Exwire classmates. Which he may or may not see again. The boy named Jean somehow acted a bit like Bon. And even though Connie had the buzz cut, it was Armin who was alike to Konekomaru. Sometimes, the hyper and optimistic and occasionally awkward Sasha reminded him of Shiemi. The nostalgic feeling was horrible.

Yukio and Rin were finally able wander around in authorized areas, but Rin would never be allowed to unsheathe Kurikara—obviously. Sometimes Rin would be given tests by Hange. The tests mostly focused on the basic five senses. How well Rin's demon ears could work versus how well his more human like ears could work. Hange also tested Rin's tail's sensitivity—let's just say this test didn't end well on either side. An assistant thought he got burned and started freaking out, until Hange touched Rin's flame and realized it only felt warm. Nothing like real fire.

Hange did a bunch of tests all day. As they neared the end of the day Hange announced that they would capture a small titan from Wall Maria tomorrow. She didn't say why, but Rin had a knot in his stomach for some reason. It seemed he wasn't too confident about what tomorrow might bring.

Hello! This is BlackRide! Sorry, this long-awaited chapter is so short! But I was losing my imagination so ya . . . Anyway! I think I might be busier on Titan's Time more than I am on this one because it seems I'm more into that one. Once again, SORRY! And thank you for reading! Please review!
