Chapter 3:

Father Levi x Daughter Character

So there it is. The first time Rahi lost her memory. I guarantee you though, it won't be the last. I promise it gets really hard for Levi sometimes. Sometimes (hint hint) he might even consider leaving Ensrahi behind. But that's another chapter for you guys to figure out. Don't worry though, you guys already know what happens to Rahi and Levi. Though I don't know if that's a good thing XD as always, I don't own anything from SnK and I thought this would be a cute idea.

-Levi-

Levi woke up to the child screaming, causing him to turn over and look at her with wide eyes. It was the middle of the night as she was clutching the sheets, sitting up gasping for air. Trying to find some grasp on her mentally. Levi was frustrated mainly because he was woken up from his sleep in the middle of the night by her.

"Hey, brat... Go back to bed." He grumbled only to hear tiny sobs of the child. He sat up quickly hugging her tightly. Her body racked of sobs and mewls of pain. But she than asked something that completely threw her off guard.

"Daddy... Where am I?"

Levi blinked, looking down at her as the little girl realized it wasn't her father she was hugging but a strange man with cold blue eyes that seemed to glow in the darkness. She was about to scream again, as he hugged her tightly.

"No, no... It's okay. I promise." He whispered stroking her hair. They sat there in his new bed, as the moon light gleamed through the window. The little girl felt like she should've been up by this time, and yet here she was, relaxed and calm. Levi sighed as his hands went through her clean soft raven hair. She managed to stop crying, and Levi pulled her on his lap, holding her chin up to meet his.

"I'm your father. My name is Levi Ackerman okay? You're my daughter." He explained, not knowing why these words were coming out of his mouth in such a fashion. Levi than looked at the girl as her eyes were puffy from crying, but she just seemed so... Alone. Like there wasn't anyone who could care for such a girl out there the way he had come to. She sniffles before nodding at his commands and hugged him tightly.

"Daddy... I'm scared. I don't know where I am." She cried, as Levi hugged her back softly, as he didn't realize a small gentle smile had crept to his lips.

"It's okay child... I'm here." He murmured, soothing her. She nodded in agreement as they both laid back to bed as she eventually fell back asleep in Levi's arms. Levi was awake that night though, wondering what just happened and how the child could lose her memory in such a way.

Morning eventually came as the child wouldn't wake up for anything. Levi grunted as he shook her awake. She groggily woke up before smiling happy at him.

"Good morning daddy!" She giggled as she got up and stretched. Levi's heart jumped out of chest watching the child get ready on her own, and make the bed behind her. Just like how he would've. Though, he didn't have any clothes for her right now, Levi made a mental note to go to the store to buy the girl proper clothes. She was ready before she was, her eyes adjusting to the light accordingly now, and Levi sighed. He quickly dawned on his uniform and ran a hand through his hair, giving off a little 'tch' at his appearance before taking the girl's hand and opening the office door. She held his strong hand tight, and followed him through great big halls, as Levi was looking for the mess hall. He was hungry and doubt she was too. But it wast before long when a tall woman tackled him.

"Shortie! Oh my god who is this cute little thing?!" She asked as the girl was snatched out of his grasp before he could say anything about it. She was startled by the sudden movement but smiled for the weird woman anyways. Levi was astounded that she didn't cry at first, knowing that she didn't remember anything from the past week or weeks in Trost even.

"Actually shitty glasses, I have a favor to ask." Levi grumbled as Hanji looked at him with curious eyes.

"What is it shortie?"

Levi sat on one of the tables in Hanji's office as he glared at the entire room being a mess of papers and diagrams of the Titans. It was disgusting how messy it was. Though the child sat happily on the couch, as Hanji took a look at her. She was running her fingers along her scalp as she eventually felt something curious.

"Levi, come over here and take a look at this." Hanji beckoned him as Levi hopped off the table and sat next to his child. Where Hanji's fingers separated the hair, there was a curved shaped teeth marked scar that was black and blended in with her hair well. The scar was at least half of her head. Levi blinked in surprise at this.

"Is that what I think it is?" He asked, taking a closer look at the scar. Hanji nodded in agreement. She had seen too many of these to know what it is.

"She was bit by a Titan. Or at least about to be. What must've happened was that the Titan was in the process of biting her before someone cut it down." Hanji explained. Levi finally let some emotion slip by his cold demeanor as he cringed at the thought of a seven year old being eaten alive.

"Maybe that's why she can't keep her memories." Levi suggested as Hanji nodded.

"She was bit in the place that helps her store memories the most." Hanji explained as Levi than understood what he had to do. The little girl happily swung her arms back and forth on the couch as Levi picked her up and slung her across his shoulder. At this point she was kinda used to Levi doing this to her. Hanji blinked and followed.

"What are you gonna do Levi?" She asked.

"I'm gonna adopt the brat." He said bluntly closing the door, leaving a surprised to hell Hanji standing in the middle of the office.

"Hey eyebrows! I'm coming in." Levi growled as he kicked down the door. Erwin looked up from his paperwork to see a short corporal come in. At this point he gave up on doing paperwork and put down his quill. Though Erwin was surprised to see him put down a child in the office chair. Levi slammed his hands on the table, as eyebrows looked up to see... Levi flustered?

"How do I adopt a child?" He demanded, his eyes giving away how he was truly feeling. Erwin first snickered before breaking out into a full on laugh.

"You what?" He asked again. Levi growled, as Erwin raised his hands in the air.

"You heard me Eyebrows." Levi growled as he nodded. Looking at the girl, Hanji soon followed after suit. Erwin gestured for Levi to take a seat. Hanji picked up the little girl, and left the office. Levi watched as they went, his eyes glued to the girl, as she squirmed and reached for him, as the door to the office closed.

"Why are you so attached to her?" Erwin asked, as Levi sat and thought about it.

"...she has no where to go. If the underground got a hold of her, she'd be sold down there before we could get a hold of her. The little girl was found in Trost weeks after that the place has been taken over and days after the hole was closed. I don't want to have her go through anything else. The girl was nearly eaten, killed, and now she can't even attain memories correctly. She needs someone there for her... And she called me her father." Levi murmured, as Erwin nodded in understanding. He could tell that Levi had become attached to her, and he wouldn't normally become attached to someone unless there was a good reason to do so. Erwin pulled out some papers from his desk, and held them out to him.

"Sign these, and be sure to put down a plan of how you will take care of her. Oh, and make sure she has a name." He explained as Levi took the paperwork gingerly. His heart seemed warmer, and that he might actually have a better reason to fight than fighting for his fallen comrades.

"For one, how the fuck do you have adoption papers in your desk?" He asked.

"You never know." Erwin simply stated. Levi nodded and stood, leaving the office.

"Thank you Erwin." He murmured, as Levi shut the office door quietly. Only to be tackled by the little girl. She cried and held onto his leg in terror as Hanji came around the corner, with blood on her hands from Titans.

"What the fuck did you do?!" He snarled, putting the paperwork in his uniform and picked up the little girl as she nuzzled her small head into Levi's neck.

"I just wanted to show her Bean!" Hanji smiled, as the little girl whimpered in fear. He glared at Hanji as he went back to his room/office for the day. So much paper work to do...

"Hey brat, sit on the couch while I work." He ordered as he put her down. Levi sat back at his desk, and dipped his quill in the ink, beginning to sign paperwork. Levi had yet to even look at his adoption papers. When Levi looked up, the girl had been holding up a paper that was blank and written on with a spare black ink pot and quill.

"What is it." He asked bluntly as she stuck the paper on his desk.

"It's you and me daddy!" She chirped happily. It was a grotesque drawing, as he could barely ale out who was who. But none the less, it made his heart soften even more.

"Thank you child." He sighed, as he eventually gave up and picked up the little girl, sitting her on his desk, her little legs sitting on Levi's knees.

"You need a name don't you brat?" He asked as the little girl was confused.

"From now on, your name will be Ensrahi Ackerman okay?" Levi explained as Rahi smiled and laughed.

"Rahi! Rahi!" She chirped.

"No. Ensrahi." He growled as she smiled anyways, making him smile back at her.

"Alright, your nickname will be Rahi." Levi smiled.
