~Forest outside abandoned town~

I stand at 5'10in, Blond hair with black & red streaks, Grey eyes with shattered pupil like design, crimson long sleeve t-shirt, grey ABU's, Black Combat boots, a black mask that covers my nose down, and a pitch black cloak that reach my feet, all covered in blood, not human blood but Titan blood! My weapons are currently dual katanas on strapped to the back of his waist, a 5ft scythe black pole, back of the blade is pitch black while the blade is serrated crimson red, black handle & 12'ft chain, kusarigama serrated crimson red blade wrapped around my arm, with the blade within my sleeve, my name is also Shinku Kage I am 18.

I stood on a tree watching a large group of teens and adults searching through the abandoned houses, probably for survivors but unknown to them that had evacuated them further away to the north. To a city that has been built to fight titan's regularly named 'The Titian City.' Once I led them there I left immediately to come back here to make sure no titan's followed us, to see this sight.

I sighed, before I saw a familiar figure soaring over the building's revealing it to be Nightshade Fury, who is 17 as well, wearing the regiments uniform, along with 2 katanas strapped to her back, a dagger strapped to thigh, underneath her 3d maneuver gear.

~Flashback to Last Year~

We met during a expedition last year where I was guiding people to the safety of Titan City, when she was ambushed by 12 titan's, she put up one hell of a fight taking out 6 all by herself, but she was exhausted so I came in like a shadow coming from above using my kusarigama in a wide horizontal arc, killing the titan closest to the women in a sweeping motion, as I unsheathed my scythe into a spin, decapitating the second closest titan's head.

Before swinging back up thanks to my kusarigama stabbing into the tree branch, allowing me to kill another 2 titan's then I landed in front of the women, onto the branch in a crouch as my kusarigama chain retracted back onto my arm. I stood up slowly, while shaking my titan blood covered hair, when I heard the women asked me softly, "W-What is your n-name?" I tilted my head in her direction as the remaining two titan's appeared trying to eat me causing the woman to scream in terror of my seemingly untimely death, but without looking I had cut a titan's head in half with my scythe and my kusarigama had wrapped around the other titan's neck and started to retract to me again, shredding the titan's entire neck to dust, both of the titan's regeneration not working for some reason, all the while saying in a broken sentence "I...am...Shinku…..Kage."

I then checked her for any injuries, after a few minutes and not finding any injuries, I helped her get onto my back, before I went off following her path back to where she came from using my kusarigama. Then she told me her name, "M-My name is Nightshade Fury, thank you f-for saving me, but where are you taking me?" I nodded to her name along with her thanks, and grunted to her question, as having not talked much in my 17 years of life, before we heard voices calling out for NightShade's name. I found a large tree branch nearby so I swung onto that, let her get off my back, then I launched away, hoping we will meet under better circumstances in the future.

~Present~

Once I snapped out of memory lane I noticed that hordes of titan's started to invade the town, catching a multitude of teens/adults of guard and eating/killing them, as I was about to intervene I saw another teen/adult get there but she was different not only because she had a red scarf on besides the uniform but also because of her skill's, she quickly dispatched the horde of titans by their napes. I nodded in satisfaction at her skill's before scanning for NightShade again to see her taking out her own horde of titan's.

Then all of a sudden, I heard a male's voice behind me say/ask me "Who are you? What are you doing here? Answer me!" I only looked at the man behind me with one eye in annoyance, before I saw the scarf wearing women run out of 'gas' & fall to the ground with the last two of her horde closing in on her! I jumped off of the branch, launching my kusarigama into the nearest building, before speeding up into a blur, to her direction, not caring that the male behind me was following, or that NightShade, noticed the move I pulled and the direction I was heading.

As I got closer, I pulled my kusarigama out of the building I just passed & swung it in a way that it cut into a titan's eye causing it to jerk it's head back in pain, in turn driving me into the titan's eye then skull, where I felt this urge to breath out, which I followed. Upon breathing out I noticed that I was expelling black mist from my mouth, and that it was eroding the titan's flesh, not hurting the titan's bone's or my body, along with the titan's bones & black mist start to encase me.

Soon as in .5 seconds later, I was entirely encased in titan bones and mist, but now I can see outside, I saw the scarf wearer about to be eaten, so by instinct I swung my right hand around forgetting that this wasn't my eyes I was looking through, then by some miracle, a bone arm & hand came in view covered in black vein-like mist before it shot out at the titan, stabbing through its skull. Then as realization hit me, the black mist rushe forward into the titan, doing the same thing to it as it did to the titan skeleton i'm inside of. I was able to watch as the titans eyes, skin, muscles, and organs erode, leaving bone, then the mist formed into vein-like black mist as the one i'm controlling, before another urge appeared which I followed it, saying while pointing to the other titans "InFeCt" I was surprised when it nodded and moved toward the titans.

I got over it quickly, as I made the titan skeleton to bend down, I saw not only the scarf wearer, but also NightShade, and the male who was standing 5'ft, standard uniform, in a defensive stance. I stopped, hesitating for the very first time since 10 years ago, as to continue with picking up the scar wearing women or not considering I don't know how strong I am like this. I guess it showed in my 'eyes' as I saw the scarf wearer slowly walk to my outstretched hand, put hers onto one of my bone fingers fearlessly, staring into my 'eyes' saying to them "I do not know how how, or why, but I think he just saved my life intently." Then to me "Thank you, for saving my life." I nodded before slowly drawing back my hand, once I was back to full height, I got hit in the back of my 'skull', causing me to black out.
