Petra was the first one to spot them as she was outside sweeping the stairs. "Guys, they're here," she hollered back excitedly to her team as she knew everyone was near so they could see the new rookie.

Surprisingly, they knew very little about her except some basics. Her name was Kagome Higurashi, just a bit shorter than Petra and had a unique ability that destroyed titans. Very few knew about her existence as her trial had been far more private than Eren's had been. They had wanted to keep it quiet that another abnormal person existed otherwise they risked mass hysteria. Erwin was a big part of why it was secret. He had successfully argued that not only would it cause hysteria but it would also complicate things with Eren as those who were okay with him helping out may change their minds if they thought there were more like him.

It didn't take long before they were all assembled and waiting. They could see the captain on his horse and behind him was another horse but it didn't have a rider. Behind that was a horse with Erwin.

"Is she not coming then?" Petra asked curiously.

"Look," Eld said pointing at Levi's lap. It took a moment but eventually as they got closer everyone else was able to see. It had taken everyone a moment to see her as her head was turned into Levi's chest and you couldn't see a face but as they got closer the girl turned and looked their way.

"Why is she on the horse with Captain Levi though?" Petra asked.

"Well, the military isn't exactly nice with their prisoners," Eren stated sarcastically. He was obviously referring to his own harsh treatment though he would admit; Levi had probably done more damage to him than the military police had.

"It would make sense or Captain had to prove he could handle her," Olou stated.

"Hurt or not, she still has to help with all this cleaning," Gunther grunted out.

Petra turned shocked eyes to Gunther at that statement. "If she's hurt then she needs rest, not to clean. That's just mean, Gunther," Petra told him and he ended up grunting and turning away from her. He forgot that she could be such a mother hen sometimes.

"She'd be mostly healed though, Petra," Eren said while turning towards her.

Petra turned and looked at him curiously before understanding lit her face. "That's true. But that's only if she really is like you. We don't know that for sure yet," she almost seemed like she was scolding him.

Eren only rolled his eyes before turning his eyes back to study the woman riding with Levi. She was tiny looking but hot. Her eyes were also a bright blue as he could make them out from here. He was also shocked that she was of Asian descent. It made him wonder where she came from and how they discovered her powers.

"Petra has a point," Eld stated while scrutinizing the girl in front of Levi. "We know very little about her. It would be wise to be wary of her until we know more about her. Looks aren't everything, you all know that." What he stated was truth. They all knew that size meant nothing. Their own captain had proven that as well as Eren.

All conversation was halted as they were almost there. The girl, Kagome, had finally turned in Levi's hold where they all could get a look at her. None of the guys would deny how hot she was or how tiny she looked in their captain's hold but her being unknown to them and possibly a titan shifter was enough to keep them from drooling over her.

"Welcome back," Petra called out as they arrived. All eyes were pretty much focused on Kagome though. She seemed a bit nervous but that was all. When she shifted and her hair fell away though all eyes focused on the collar. Her narrowed eyes were enough to make them look elsewhere though. Everyone shivered as she had a scary look.

Erwin cleared his throat as he pulled his horse up next to Levi and Kagome. "Everyone, this is Kagome. She will be your new teammate. Why don't you introduce yourselves," he went ahead and got off his horse and gathered the documents he needed from his satchel before turning back to the others who had finished introducing themselves.

Kagome was a bit nervous as she looked at all of the faces staring at her. She was supposed to have been told about them on the way here but she had ended up falling asleep on the way. It had surprised her that they let her but she vaguely recalled hushed voices so they were probably letting her sleep so they could discuss her. The only good that had come of that was she didn't get into any arguments with Levi and her leg was fully healed. It left her with a tough decision though. Should she let them know she healed quickly or not?

She studied each person trying to memorize names and faces. Part of her was relieved when she met another girl so she wouldn't be the only female. In particular she paid close attention to the Eren boy. He was the titan shifter they had told her about. Instantly, she could feel something was different about him but she didn't have time to fully study him right now.

"It's nice to meet you all. The name's Kagome," her introduction was short. These people had, after all, been ordered to kill her if they thought she was out of control or a threat. She would reserve her judgment for later. Part of her wanted to come out and instantly make friends but the part that Sesshoumaru and her time in Feudal Japan had taught her caution was better had won out.

"Tch," Levi snorted out. "Think you can walk yet, little girl," he looked down at Kagome who had a very annoyed look on her face. The others perked up at hearing she was injured.

'And we are back to name-calling again,' Kagome thought. "Don't know. I haven't put any weight on it yet," she decided to pretend to still be a bit sore but not much. She went to lean up where she could get leverage to slide down but was shocked when an arm wrapped around her waist.

She was even more shocked when Levi's other leg swung around and he got off with her in his arms. While it was shocking to her the others didn't seem all that surprised. 'So he's rude but has a good heart,' was her conclusion. It still wasn't going to stop her from making his life hell. Might as well find out how patient he could be.

"Just put me down and I'll see how bad it is," she sighed as she didn't want to give her healing ability away but she didn't want to be in his arms either. The arm around her legs dropped and she made sure to land with her weight on her unhurt leg. It also didn't escape her notice that everyone was watching her. 'Like vultures circling their prey,' was the only analogy that came to mind. She knew she would be under judgment from now on.

"So you are like me then," Eren exclaimed as he stepped forward. It would almost be a relief to know that he wasn't the only one. His face fell when he realized that she winced and favored her leg. "So you're not?" he asked.

Kagome looked at Eren. He sounded almost vulnerable when asked if she wasn't like him. It made her feel bad in a way. She knew what it was like to be the odd person out and have everyone doubting you as she was also experiencing it right now.

"Not like you but still different," she decided to answer with that. She was relieved when that seemed to be okay with him though now she could see the questions on all of their faces.

A/N: Thanks for all the reviews.
