If you don't know ANYTHING about Levi's past(either through the grapevine/spoilers/not have read ACWNR)... there's a small spoiler in here.

Akako's POV

I sighed as I stretched. I was in the courtyard, holding a broom, though I was talking a break from sweeping. I was enjoying the fresh autumn air. The leaves were changing color and the air was a bit nippy. I smiled as a breeze blew my hair around. It was the perfect day.

It had been a few months since we started using the hot spring. Erwin was delighted to hear about it, but made strict rules about when it could be used. He also said that males and females could not go at the same time. So needless to say that Levi and I have only been in the hot spring together that one time.

We've also been on three more expeditions outside the wall, and Eren and I can completely control our Titan forms, and Eren's even begun to control his 'Fire Titan' form. That's not it's real name, but that's what I call it because he might as well be on fucking fire. Someone came up behind me and cleared their throat. I turned and saw it was Levi. A smile graced my lips.

"Good afternoon Levi." I said, saluting like I was supposed to and getting a salute in return, then a kiss on the cheek.

"Aren't you supposed to be cleaning?" I shrugged.

"I was taking a small break, enjoying the weather." Levi shook his head. "I'm going to assume you didn't just come out here to tell me to get back to work?" Levi nodded.

"Eyebrows wants to speak with you in his office." My eyes widened.

"What? He found out about it already? Damn it all to hell! I was hoping I'd be with Hanji when he found out." Levi cocked an eyebrow.

"Found out what?" I stopped and turned my eyes to Levi.

"Oh... N-Nothing! Erwin's in his office right?" And I bolted. I made it to Erwin's office and knocked, receiving a 'come in' and entered, saluting Erwin. "You needed to see me Commander?" Erwin nodded.

"Yes. I have a... contact... in the Underground City. I'm sending you to get some information from him." I nodded. "This assignment is very crucial, so you have to be careful. Also, the Underground City is dangerous, so you can't go in your military uniform." I nodded again, saluting.

"Yes sir!" He stood.

"Akako, don't tell anyone, especially not Levi." I cocked my head. "I mean it Akako. Do not tell Levi. And when you're down in the Underground City, do not speak his name." I furrowed my brows. I wasn't liking this assignment. Erwin sighed, rubbing his temples. "I really wish I didn't have to send you, but you're the only one I can send because no one down there knows of you or your connection to the Survey Corps." I frowned.

"Sir?" Erwin sighed.

"Anyways. You'll be leaving in the morning. Wear something casual, I have already come up with an excuse for your absence." I nodded.

"Yes sir." I saluted again and was dismissed. Erwin seemed very upset about this. How dangerous could the Underground City be... wait... we have an Underground City?! I wondered about it for the rest of the day, also packing for my trip. I had to go to Sina in order to get to the Underground City. I wasn't very happy about this.

The next day Erwin and I headed out. Erwin had something he had to do in Sina, and on the way, he filled me in more on my assignment. I was retrieving a document from a man named Akito. He would be waiting for me in a strip club, which I thought was weird but it was the meeting spot. We made it to Sina and Erwin brought me to the room he was staying in while there.

"You know you're assignment. Be discrete, be careful, and don't draw attention to yourself. Don't talk about the Survey Corps, or any relations to the surface, alright?" I nodded and got ready to head down.

The Underground City was more like the slums in Shingashina, and Shingashina was pretty shitty normally. No sign of the Military Police, and it had a tension that made breathing hard and definitely felt void of any innocence. And it was dirty. Levi would've hated it down here.

I made it to the strip club. And it definitely was a strip club. Girls half dressed every where, men drinking in the sights, as well as alcohol. I saw the man described as Akito. Tall, pale, with short orange messy hair. I walked up to him, tapping his left hip like Erwin told me too. He turned to me.

"You must be that man's subordinate. He told me you were..." He looked me up and down, "Gifted." I sighed. "Sit down with me. I want to discuss something before I hand over the documents." So I sat down with Akito and we talked. All seemed to go well, until someone walked up to me.

"Excuse me. You should be working, not fraternizing." I couldn't even get a word out before I was pulled from Akito and thrown into a room. "Put your uniform on and go work!" The man barked. I was so confused. I tried to just leave, but the man was outside the door and yelled at me again. I looked around and realized that the room had no way out besides the door, so in order to leave, I had to pretend to be a stripper... sounds fun.

So I changed into the 'uniform' which was no more than pretty much a bra and a short skirt with some skimpy panties. I walked out and the man nodded and pushed me to a table with a pole coming out of it, which I climbed. Akito looked at me with amusement in his eyes. I swear if he set this up, I'll kill him.

The next song started to play and I just did what I had seen the other dancers do, but added a bit of my own flare, using my breasts to my advantage, and I got money thrown at me. I wasn't sure if I felt guilty, ashamed, or happy. Yes, happy. Because this was kind of fun. I was enjoying dancing like a whore, but I refused to remove my clothes, which the guys took as me teasing them, making them throw more money, hoping after enough I'd take them off.

"Come on baby! Take it all off!" Akito yelled from the side, making the other men do the same. I could tell Akito was just playing around, and didn't know of my relation with Erwin, but that was a little much. Most of my legs, abdomen, and a large amount of my chest where showing, and Levi hadn't even seen me this exposed before, so it was a little weird.

After a few more yells, the door to the club burst open, and for a second I thought they would fly off their hinges. In came two men, one shorter, one taller, both in Survey Corps uniform. The shorter one had black hair and grey eyes, which happened to be enraged.

"Where the fuck is she?" He yelled, quieting the entire club. The man from earlier came up to him.

"What the fuck are you doing down here Levi? I thought you had gone onto do better things." Yeah, Levi was here, and Erwin was right behind him. I flushed when I saw him. Levi looked amongst the crowd, avoiding looking at the tables with the half naked or completely naked girls. He said something back to the man, when Erwin was looking around, thoroughly disgusted by what he saw. Then he saw me.

Now, I was on a table, kneeling, with my legs slightly spread, and leaning back on one hand while the other was gripping the pole. Erwin's jaw completely dropped as he started to pull on Levi's sleeve. Levi glared at Erwin, following the man's finger. His eyes met mine. I gulped. Levi's eyes narrowed as he made a beeline to table I was on, the crowd parting until he made it up to me. I closed my legs, and sat on my heels, leaning forward.

"What the FUCK are you doing here?!" Levi said, obviously pissed off. The man from earlier came over.

"Levi, don't harrass my dancers!" Levi turned to the man.

"She isn't one of your slutty dancers." Levi spat. Erwin made his way over.

"Akako..." He said, I saw the look in his eyes. I scooted to the end of the table, sitting with my legs over the edge, crossing them and my arms.

"The man didn't let me say shit." I glared. "By the way sir, no, I'm not one of your sluts. And the only reason I got on this damn table was because you insisted I was one of your whores." I stood and just walked away, changing and coming back, everything just how I left it. The man was glaring at me.

"You cheated me!" I raised an eyebrow.

"Did I take your money? No, I made you money, now shove off." I walked over to Akito, taking the folder he was holding out to me, and turned. "Levi, Erwin, are we leaving? Or do you need to make a bigger scene?" I said before turning and leaving the club. Levi was right after me, pulling me into an alley with Erwin on his heels. He pushed me against a wall.

"What the fuck were you doing?!" I frowned.

"Blending in." Was the only thing I could say. "Obviously my body makes me seem like a stripper." Levi growled.

"Why did you send her down here Eyebrows?" Levi said, glaring at the blond man out of the corner of his eyes. Erwin sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose.

"Can we discuss this later?" Erwin said. Levi didn't hesitate to grab my wrist and force me out of the Underground City, taking corners and moving around like it was second nature.

I don't know about you, but this chapter seems to flow better then the last one, not necessarily with the story, but in general. =)
