Wind beneath my Wings of Freedom
Summary: My name is Kagome. Since the end of my adventures down the well, I've been living in what one might say was an 'alternate universe'. And maybe that's true...the world I knew, was no longer. I came up through the well of a family I had never met...and was taken in by them. I became a storyteller...a tutor...and the caregiver of the orphans near the outer wall Maria in the city Shiganshina. "To them...I'm just a story teller...but to the kids, it's hope that my words reveal."

Petra Cries
-x-x-x-
Levi was the first to arrive on the scene, pain shooting through his head still from earlier; Petra was held against the wall, a clawed hand gripping her around her neck. The one holding her was none other than Kagome. Only...there was something extremely different about her.
"Kagome," he called out softly; something inside was telling him that she was a danger to everyone right now. He moved towards her, but Petra tried to usher him off, as if Kagome might hurt him.
"Sh-she...c...ra...zy..." tears streaming down her cheeks as she looked into Kagome's blood red eyes. Her hair was taking on charges of red and pink energy which was wrapping dangerously around Kagome's body as her hair whipped cruelly about Kagome's face.
Levi ignored Petra, looking to his mate who was bearing her fangs dangerously at Petra. "What did you do, Petra?" His words, despite being spoken with no emotion, were accusatory all the same. More people started to show up at that moment, causing Kagome's grip on Petra's neck to tighten.
"N...oth...ing,"
"She's lying," Sesshoumaru sniffed the air as if taking in a flower, "she smells of deceit."
"What did you do!?" Levi snapped angrily, a sight that took everyone present by surprise, with the exception of Sesshoumaru who just didn't care.
"...p...pu...sh..."
Levi put her tattered phrase together and turned, the stairs right behind him held signs of blood splatter. Looking to Kagome, he noted the blood on her forehead and everything fell into place. "Foolish girl," he muttered, moving towards the two of them, he put his hand on the one holding Petra up against the wall, taking his other hand, he took Kagome's chin and turned her to face him, her eyes still on Petra as he tried to capture her eyes with his. "Kagome..."
"..." her eyes flicked back and forth between Petra and him, finally settling on Levi.
Leaning forward, he locked his lips with hers. His eyes never leaving hers as he watched the blood red in her eyes fade to the gentle blue they usually were.
Kagome's grip on Petra's neck relaxed and the girl fell forward onto the ground, trying to gasp for air. Tears still falling from her eyes as she stared up at Levi and Kagome.
"..." Levi pulled back and waited to see if Kagome was okay.
"Oh...Kami..." Kagome shook her head, looking to Petra, she felt tears prickling at the corner of her eyes. Her hand fell to her stomach and glowed as she reassured herself of the child's safety. A loose smile broke across her lips as she let her hand fall from her abdomen, and she kneeled down so that she was now at eye level with Petra. The girl tried to scoot away from Kagome, but the wall behind her limited her distance to nil. "Stop, I won't kill you...Petra Ral...I don't like you, which is plainly obvious right now, but I would under normal circumstances just ignore your juvenile attempts at trying to take Levi as your own."
Levi raised a brow at this, but listened as she continued.
"However...with recent events, you have endangered myself...and someone else." Kagome stood and placed her hand on her stomach. She watched as Petra's eyes followed her hand and widened, anger in her eyes, horror, and denial...all of these emotions meant nothing to Kagome who turned and left the girl crying on the ground. She didn't even turn when she screamed out her hatred.

Hange watched Kagome leave and nudged Levi to go after her.
"I can't, I need to take care of this mess,"
Hange smirked, "Leave Petra to me, I needed to vent anyways."
"Eren, if you are done training, clean." Levi muttered, looking down at Petra, he scoffed. "Disgusting..."
Hange dragged Petra up by the arm and pulled her off towards a dungeon. Sesshoumaru took Eren back out where their training continued, and Levi went after Kagome. All of this was fine, but Hange was truly excited. Petra was about to become a victim of her own punishment, and what better way to make someone sorry for what they did, then to make them bleed out their remorse. "...now..." Hange snapped a cuff on Petra's wrist as she pushed her into a wooden chair used often for interrogation. Hange leaned forward so that her breath tickled Petra's ears, "...scream for me."

Sesshoumaru's ears twitched every so often as a scream drifted from afar. He could hear the cries of pain echoing off the wall of whichever dungeon the auburn haired scientist had dragged the girl from earlier. "Bite,"
"...but..." Eren huffed, trying to catch his breath as he put his hands on his knees. The two of them were nearly five miles away. Sesshoumaru told him that it was easier to train him without the constant badgering of humans. Whatever that meant. "S-Sesshoumaru...uh, I've already transformed twice..."
"Out of how many times?" Sesshoumaru questioned dully.
Eren bit his lip, a look of restlessness on his face.
A surprising weight on his head made him look up, and Eren found himself staring into golden eyes, "two times out of seven tries...is progress...but do you know what you are missing, the reason you fail all other tries?"
Eren shook his head.
"You have no motive. You have no goal."
"...I...need a goal?" Eren looked down at his hand, the man kneeling in front of him never pulled his hand away from his head. Finally, looking up, he smirked, "I want to try it again!"
Nodding, Sesshoumaru stood and took a few steps away from the boy. As far as transforming went, he knew that even a full bred Inu couldn't transform without a goal in mind. This was common sense to him, so taking this from his own personal experience...he was pushing the boy to inherently keep a goal in his mind. "Now...bite!"
Not even a few moments after blood seeped freely from the wound made by Eren's teeth, did a light shoot towards the sky for a third time that day, and a Titan replace the boy who'd been standing before him a moment ago. The last two successful transformations had been short lived, with the first one ending when he had to yank the boy out from the location on the back of his neck where he could smell him strongest, due to the boy losing control and very nearly offering to step on him. The second was a little bit longer as far as his control went, but once more, he lost control and started thrashing...and worse...yelling. Sesshoumaru still recalled those loud cries of rage. However, this one...this transformation, had the titan kneeling on one knee before him, a hand held out to him. Sesshoumaru eyed the titan for a moment, "well done..." he stepped up onto the hand, not an ounce of fear as the Titan lifted him up so that he was eye level. "I want you to hold this form for no less than half an hour. On top of that, you can't do anything, just sit, and focus on clearing your mind of everything that will cause you to falter in your goal. Understood?"
The Titan nodded and lowered Sesshoumaru down. So far, training was making a progressive step forward, he would see how the next portion went. The boy would need to start training physically with him, whether Kagome liked it or not. His knew body would require slightly more muscle mass, or else his arms would just tear if he punched something.
'...let's see what you can do...Eren Yeager.'

Kagome's head was resting on Levi's lap as she inhaled the scent of pine trees and Windex. The smell of both had become a comfort to her over the past few years, and now even more so. "...I'm sorry..."
Levi shook his head, "don't be...I would have killed her."
Kagome laughed softly, "that's no good...Its worse...I lost control, and..." Kagome closed her eyes, curling up closer to Levi as she did.
"...and I got a kiss." Levi looked down and watched as she turned her eyes to him. "If you lose control...I will pull you out of that darkness you fall into."
Kagome smiled, leaning in and kissing him sweetly, thanking him softly without any words spoken, she laid down her head and let sleep take her. The Cadets would be arriving in a few more hours...she wanted a fresh face when they arrived. Lulling herself to sleep easily with the tortured cries from below, she couldn't help but feel a certain twisted satisfaction for each pain filled cry.
