Soldier Priestess

Chapter 7: Battle of Trost Pt. 2

Sometimes Kagome hated being right. Mikasa was blanking out after hearing Eren had died. She was expending her gas too quickly and suddenly veered off course.

Cursing, she turned to Armin who'd left Mina behind with a few garrison soldiers who were guarding the injured. "Armin, Connie, go check on her! The rest of you move!"

They stopped to assess the situation when she noticed a guy out of gas stuck on the ground with two titans headed his way. Another jumped into the fray yelling his comrades name, but obviously wasn't paying attention. Two more as well.

'Acting without thinking will get you dead!'

Assessing quickly and acting she swung, cutting through three titans' napes successively, yelling for the girl to grab Tom or whatever the hell his name was at the same time avoiding another titan's sweeping hand. Whirling through the air, she was cutting it up faster than anyone watching could keep up with and sweeping between the legs of another titan waiting behind it slashing up its spine. Her miko-ki strengthening her tired legs she pushed off the back of the slashed titan towards a smaller one, spinning in the air with her blades outwards decapitating it and took out the back of the knees of three bigger ones causing them to buckle and fall forward. Finally using her ODM gear she cutting off the hands off the one holding the first guy who'd jumped into the fray to save his friend, narrowly avoiding having her side bit into.

With all three back on the roof, she noticed Jean frozen there.

The guy was a known coward so she wasn't surprised in the least. But at least he came back to himself and looked relieved that they hadn't died because he'd been unable to act. It happened to the best of soldiers.

"Listen up, you all need to react better. I get it if your friend's in danger, but you need to assess shit before you do something that ends with you both dead," looking mainly at the three she'd saved.

The girl was the only one to nod, grateful for the Oriental woman jumping in to save them from certain death.

"Jean, Reiner, Bertholdt, Ymir! I've killed five of them and four I've injured let's take them down together before they heal," and the four of them moved as Kagome barked out orders.

~ oOo ~

When they arrived at HQ, seeing Jean snap back into action she left him to take charge inside, more confident he wouldn't freeze up now, while she went to take care of the little titans on the roof before it collapsed in on itself. They were easy to take down since the titans were feasting on two dead soldiers, no doubt who'd tried to find safety high up on the roof versus inside headquarters.

As she took out the last 3 meter titan on the roof, she had to readjust her stance as the building shook, peering over the edge she saw two titans had climbed and literally smashed their faces through the brick and windows.

"Fuck," she was about to jump down and swipe their napes while they were distracted until she looked towards her right and saw a titan running full force towards them. The titan was most definitely the fittest one she'd seen with thick cords of muscle and a defined eight pack not ribs on display. His fist went smashing into the first one's face sending them both of the titans flying. Mikasa and Connie holding Armin swung into the building at the same time the abnormal took out the other two.

She jumped down to follow, because she couldn't believe what was ringing on her senses.

Titans had auras always with a high level or complete taint, but the aura of that titan with pointed elfin ears and green eyes. And looked physically stronger for a titan versus emaciated or fat.

'That's Eren's aura.'

Swinging into the building she saw Connie hitting his gas tank, "It's empty...We did it! We just barely made it…"

"You're all alive," Jean asked surprised.

"We did it" Connie yelled excitedly, a little to happy in his pats to Armin's back who grunted at the heavy hits.

"Ouch!" Armin murmured.

"Your plan was a success," Connie said ignoring his shout. "Everyone! That titan is an abnormality that slaughters other titans," Connie pointed towards the titan, also noting Kagome who was glancing at the titan over her shoulder. "It's not even interested in attacking humans! If we play our cards right, we can all get outta here alive!"

"Jean take some of the guys with you and find some weapons we can use to take care of the titans. Avoid the two bottom levels there are undoubtedly three and four meter titans," Kagome said not bothering to look away from the abnormal. With her blades still drawn and looking out the gaping hole, it probably looked like she was guarding against any titan that slipped past the abnormal one.

Kagome wasn't surprised the titan was attacking other titans.

'Of course it would, if that really was Eren, then given his utter contempt and determination to exterminate them all somehow must have transferred when he turned into a titan.'

Jean was glad the woman was back. When she'd given him the lead, telling him she was pushing forward to take care of the titans who'd learned how crawl up onto the roof, he'd been a little afraid of freezing up. Only his determination to live, as well as comforting words from his best friend Marco, and of course not be shown up by the short woman kept him going.

'Thinking about all of the titans she'd faced none of their auras had been familiar, well maybe one...the Colossal.'

Unfortunately, she couldn't remember every aura she read unless she was close to them, or around them a lot. After all do normal humans keep track of every person they see in their life. The answer is no, even if a part of the brain probably kept an subconscious imprint if they were memorable enough it took something to help them spark that connection.

Was it possible that people eaten by titans and lived became one of them. If so were titans transformed humans? Was the Colossal Titan one? The aura had been familiar, but why would it be attacking the walls if it had once been human. And with the way it disappeared was it possible for it to change size, or change back into a human? The walls had been in place for nearly a hundred years to defend the last of humanity from the titans, but no one knew where titans had come from. If this was true who was the first titan? Were they all mindless? Did they remember their human lives? Or was it only people with strong wills like Eren, who were able to retain a singular purpose of thought from their human life? Did this create abnormality titans?

There were so many possibilities and would have to be further looked upon.

A light tap on her shoulder drew her from her spiraling mind of theories.

Turning she was surprised to see Connie standing so close.

He was two inches taller than her with shaved brown hair and lightly tanned skin. His grey eyes reminding her of a cool storm. He had a dopey smile on his face.

"Is something up," mentally berating herself for not listening to what everyone was planning to do about the titans below.

Realizing he was too close when she turned around he moved back a step giving her space.

Connie always thought the woman beautiful and found it awesome she was shorter than himself. This still rung true even with her covered in blood, guts, and dirt on her form.

"Sorry, I was calling your name guess you didn't hear. Anyways, Jean found some rifles the garrison used to use and they work, Armin has come up with a plan to get rid of the titans below. We need you there to enact it," he told her about the plan as they met up with the rest.

Kagome was impressed it was a solid plan with no possible casualties as long as everyone got their mark. Armin might not be the best soldier, but he'd make a great tactician to a commander one day. Once she arrived she put in her own suggestions for who should be positioned to take out the titans when the others lured them in. It would be her, Mikasa, Annie, Reiner, Bertholdt, Jean, Connie, and Sasha. Ironically the ones in the top ten sans Sasha who almost made it. She also told Armin her opinion about him being a tactician to a commander one day causing the blonde to blush and stutter out his thanks.

Even as she laid on the wooden plank above the titans she found the plan a sound one. With her suggestions taken on the cadets she was confidant no blood except for the titans would be spilled. Ww waited for the lift to lower down with the cadets that would be shooting the titans in the eyes to blind them thus making it easier for us to kill the three and four meter titans below.

"I still think this is gonna be hard without our ODM gear," Connie whispered.

She snorted, "I fought a bunch without mine Connie. Before the Vanguard showed up I'd ran out of gas a few minutes before they showed up. It takes a lot of strength and agility not to mention having an understanding of momentum, but it's not impossible. Be confident okay, I believe in you," she told him and she meant it. Connie was probably the most confident and energetic person, he shouldn't doubt himself nor his skills.

Connie was touched.

Soon they all heard the lift lowering and everyone went deathly silent.

The wait wasn't long and soon the titans as Armin predicted began to walk towards the lift surrounding the ones with guns on all sides. As soon as the shots rang out they jumped from their positions above and sliced through their napes.

Sasha's stammering alerted them to trouble, cursing Kagome went after the one after Connie while Mikasa took out the one after Sasha when it fell nosediving after the troublesome food hogger.

Connie was embarrassed he'd fucked up not even a minute after Kagome told him she believed in him.

"Hey, don't sweat it. I probably got you all flustered sorry," Kagome said patting his shoulder before going to inspect and make sure there weren't any more titans lurking in the lower levels. Sensing no more, she went to go find some more blades and refuel. While she had half a tank of gas that would be enough to climb up the wall since they were supposed to retreat, but anything could happen and she wanted to be prepared.

Funny how some things would never change.

She used to always put so much junk in her yellow bag determined to be prepared for anything she or her group might need whether it be extra ramen, bandages, lollipops, medicine, or a number of things a modern girl needed in order to survive in the feudal era. 'Like shampoo and conditioner!'

Once outside Armin, Reiner, and Bertolt noticed Mikasa and Kagome were standing on the roof in front of them while everyone else fled for the safety of the wall.

Armin shot his grappling hooks landing next to them.

"It's not regenerating…"

"Ah they're eating it," Kagome said mentally taking notes on what she was witnessing.

"It's body isn't regenrating?" Armin was surprised as they heard it groan.

"I thought uncovering the truth about that titan might be the key to freeing ourselves from this desperate situation," Mikasa replied.

'I wonder how they would take it if I told them it was Eren?' But she pushed that thought away. They would ask how she knew and while she liked them, normal people rejected that which they couldn't understand or poked and prodded at it till they did...usually with sharp objects or when it was dead.

"I agree," Reiner announced grabbing their attention. By his side was Jean, Annie, and Bertolt, which seemed a little weird not the two guys as they tended to stick to each other like glue, but Annie and Jean being next to them was. Were they all close or had they just been assigned to the same squad. She knew bad situations could draw unlikely people closer to one another, "If they just rip it to shreds like that, then we won't have learned a single thing! We should get rid of those titans currently devouring it, and at least try and keep it alive."

"Are you insane Reiner?!" Jean exclaimed shocked the guy would suggest a thing. Why would they want to stay out here when they could finally leave now that everyone was restocked. "We can finally escape this deathtrap!"

"But what if the titan could become an ally?" Annie spoke, a rarity as she spoke even less than Kagome did during their training days. "Don't you think it would be a weapon more powerful than our cannons, or sending soldiers to their possible deaths?"

"Our...Ally? Are you for real?"

Has everyone lost their minds.

Armin gasped as a tall blond titan began walking towards the feast.

"That's...the abnormal that ate Thomas. The one Eren tried to go after," he whispered, but Kagome caught it and her eyes narrowed, especially when the titan with Eren's aura became lively once more. Roaring loudly it began to charging forward, eyes becoming an even bolder green color reminiscent of its human counterpart.

It was like the titans eating him didn't matter as they hung on biting off his right arm and finally his left, instead it launched itself at the abnormal biting into its neck lifting it off the ground like an animal. As a tall, fat titan came at titan Eren from behind, he turned quickly and threw the abnormal between his teeth at the fat one sending them both crashing through a building.

"Hey," Jean's eyes widening, "What was that about?!" The titan let out a triumphant roar, steam curling from its missing arms and wounds before collapsing in a heap on the ground. "Looks like it burnt itself out," he turned away glad to finally be able to leave. "Whatever. Let's get going! There is no way that monster is on our side. Titans are titans!"

He looked back when no one responded or looked his way, but everyone had anticipation in their eyes and some shock.

"What is it?"

His eyes widened too, because there on the back on the abnormal titan was none other than the Eren sticking out of the nape of the titan that was steaming and rapidly disintegrating.

Kagome watched in morbid fascination as Eren pulled his upper half out of the titan.

'So the plot thickens now, so many questions to ask and answers would be required.'

Part of her wished there wasn't so many cadets watching, knowing undoubtedly this would not be kept quiet and any answers would be sought through brutal interrogation done upon the teen or worse...outright death. Both her and Mikasa sprung into action at the same time. Mikasa's more emotional action, her's more out curiosity.

Armin yelled out both of their names, but Kagome could watch over them both if Mikasa got distracted. Her miko senses were top notch in sensing threats to her person in a relatively .

Kagome observed the titan form rapidly decaying and Mikasa embracing Eren who seemed to be unconscious, the teen put her head to his chest most likely listening for a heartbeat, however, Kagome could sense he was alive.

Mikasa began to cry as everyone else swung down.

Kagome sensed someone watching and looked in the distance, her miko-ki lit up her eyes for a second but it was enough.

'Shit, some of the garrison on the wall saw through their telescopes!'

She definitely didn't see this ending well.

'Kami-sama be with us!'

It might end badly if she had to out herself, but she wouldn't allow anyone to harm Eren, and she doubted his friends would...Well at least Mikasa and Armin, since the others looked disgusted or shocked that he'd been inside the nape of the abnormal titan.
