Akako's POV
The next day we got ready for training. I had my chest bound, hair up, and 3DMG on and ready. I was standing in the field we were going to be using, however, I was the only one there. I growled. Levi said at breakfast to report here an hour after lunch. So here I am, where's the rest of them. I saw Levi standing off to the side. Easy to miss when he's so short and his back is turned.
Eventually, everyone else showed up, and Levi called them all lazy asses that apparently didn't care how to fight with a Titan instead of against. I sighed as we started the training. We got away from Eren, and he bit into his thumb, and with a yellow bolt of lightning that sort of changed the air around him to a golden color, there stood Titan Eren. We waited a few more seconds, but he didn't move towards us.
"Alright, let's move." And so we did. Eren allowed us to move around him, even allowed Levi and I to stand on his shoulders a few times. Training was going well, until Sasha and I collided. She wasn't paying attention and let her grapple cross my path, it which we crashed together, and the blade I was holding got shoved into my leg. I felt my skin crawl and expand and then was enclosed in something warm.
Did I lose that much blood that quickly? To already be hallucinating? I knew I was hallucinating, because I was sitting back in the dining room with Petra, Eld, Gunther, Aurou, Hanji, Levi, and Eren. They were having a great time, talking and laughing. I was sort of out of it, not really knowing what was actually said, but it made me happy. And Levi even had a small smile on his face, which totally warmed my heart. What made it better, was that it was directed at me.
I was suddenly surrounded by darkness and when I woke up, I was staring at a ceiling. It didn't look to familiar either. I went to rub my face with my arm when I realized I couldn't. I looked to the side to see a shackle on my wrist. I looked to the other side, and there was one there too. I sat up and saw bars. I was in a cell... Why?
"So you're up?" I looked past the bars and saw Levi leaning against the wall, an empty chair next to him. I blushed. I was shackled to a bed, and Levi was the only other person down here... Kinky.
"U-Um... why am I down here? What's going on?" Levi readjusted himself.
"Do you remember what happened?" I cocked my head.
"I remember training, and running into Sasha, and then a pain in my leg..." I looked down and moved the blanket to see that the leg I thought my blade had gone into, was perfectly fine. "But I thought..." I looked up at Levi. The look in his eyes scared me.
"Kira, did you know that you were a Titan Shifter?" My eyes nearly bugged out of my head and my jaw dropped.
"W-What?" Levi sighed and pushed himself off the wall.
"When you drove your blade into your leg, you transformed into a Titan."
"D-Did I hurt anyone?" Levi shook his head.
"Blause got hit a bit, but Ackerman caught her. You, on the other hand..." He sighed. "We had to cut Eren out so that you wouldn't kill each other." My eyes widened more and I would've put my hands to my lips, but I couldn't. I looked down and refrained from biting my lower lip, afraid it'd make me shift.
"I-I'm sorry." Levi sighed.
"For what?" I squeezed my eyes shut.
"For not knowing."
"Jaeger didn't know he was one until after the first time." I shook a little as the tears rolled down my face.
"... What's going to happen now?" Levi exhaled more and sat down in the chair.
"Well, I couldn't keep it quiet. Half the Corps saw it and told Erwin. The Military Police are furious, and demanded custody of you and Jaeger. We already have secured custody of Jaeger, so we are currently awaiting your trail." I nodded a little.
"Levi, be honest with me. What are the chances that I'll stay with the Survey Corps?" He stayed quiet for a while.
"Very shitty." I felt the shiver go up my spine. I tried to hold the sob back, but couldn't. I began to cry and shake, no way to get comfort. Levi left then. Some of the Military Police came to guard my cell.
"Another one. Great."
"Well, we're in favour to win." They chuckled darkly.
"You know, for a monster, she has a nice body. How much fun do you think the Survey Corps had with her?" My eyes widened. Those swine! How dare they?
"Who knows. Maybe before we dissect her, we can have some fun with her." I glared and would've growled if I knew it wouldn't provoke them. They continued with that discussion, talking about what they'd do to me if they were able to have their way with me first.
The trail could not have come quicker. Hanji came to get me.
"Hanji!" I cried out as she cuffed me and I put my head on her shoulder as she wrapped her arms around me.
"I know Akako, I know. This is gonna be a rough trial." She walked with Mike and I. She came in with me, joining the rest of the Corps on one side, while Mike went to one of the balconies. I was secured to the floor by a metal rod, similarly to how Eren was, and the trail began. Everyone was staring at me, and I didn't like it.
"Akako Kira, do you know why you're here?" I nodded, but waited for the judge to motion for me to speak.
"I'm here to find out what's going to happen to me. Because I'm a Titan Shifter." He nodded.
"Military Police. State your case." The leader, Nile Dok, cleared his throat as he looked down at his paper.
"Well, according to our resources. Akako Kira isn't a competent soldier. She has killed about as many Titans as those in the Military Police. She also seems to have no respect for authority. Unlike Eren Jaeger, she seems to be more of a threat. We'd like custody of her." I glared at him. The judge nodded.
"Survey Corps?" Erwin seemed calm, but his eyes were screaming emotions. He was pissed that we were even doing this.
"Akako Kira has been in the Survey Corps for three years. She has proven her worth to humanity multiple times. Where she lacks in kills, she excels in assists. She has also saved multiple of our men at the risk of her own life. The reason we haven't suffered greater losses is because of Kira." The judge nodded. Someone in the Military Police cut in.
"Sir, I don't believe we can believe that Commander Erwin's statement is without bias. The one in question lived with him for five months after the death of her parents." Erwin clicked his tongue. "She was also raised with the other Titan Shifter, Eren Jaeger. It's possible she knew she was one all along."
"That's bullshit!" I said, glaring. I turned to the judge. "Forgive me for speaking out, but I'm still shocked myself that I'm even able to shift into a Titan-"
"Lies!" I growled, low. "Why should we believe a monster like you?"
"Well think of it this way. If I was a Titan shifter all my life, why would my parents keep me?" I barked. "The Kira Pair had no remorse when it came to Titans. They despised them like everyone else." Nile glared.
"The Kira Pair were worthless soldiers that did little to help in anything. Just like the rest of the Survey Corps. How many expeditions have been successful?" I growled even lower.
"At least we're doing something unlike you filthy swine!" I yelled. "Last time I checked, all you did was sit on your ass and do shady under the table business with everything! Our economy sucks because of you assholes!" I caught a glimpse of the guards that were at my cell. They smirked and I glared worse.
"Watch your tongue!" Nile commanded.
"I will when your men stop with the sexual harassment! You think it's fun being chained so can't cover my ears and hear them talk about how much of a whore I must be, how many men I must've slept with, and what they wanted to do to me?!"
"The Military Police only accepts the best of the best. They have high moral standards and would never say or do anything of the sort." I let out a bitter laugh.
"Moral standards? High moral standards?" Another bitter laugh. "Please. If you guys have high moral standards, then the Titans are harmless!" He seemed to have had enough and had a gun pointed at me, and then I felt a kick across my face.
Oh the plot twists and the drama! Gotta love it =)
