Mikasa sat quietly as she continued watching the girl consume the bread she had in front of her. It didn't take long for the food to have completely disappeared, quite frankly Mikasa was rather impressed with the speed that the girl had managed to eat. Then again it wasn't as if the brown haired girl had really looked like she was well fed.
"So, I was meaning to ask you..." Mikasa gained the attention of the now extremely happy girl. Who was at least happy she had managed to get food. "What are those things on your head? They look like some type of animal ears."
"Oh well they kind of are..." Sasha admitted rubbing her hands over the ears gently still feeling slightly painful from the dark haired painful girl's grasp. "They're dog ears actually. Same for my tail."
"Why exactly do you have dog ears?" Mikasa questioned
"Well, I...I don't really remember. I think I was born this way but I'm not sure." Sasha's canine ears dropped as she tried to remember. "I've been in the these woods for the last few days trying to get something to eat. And then you came along!"
Mikasa admired the girl. She was rather cute she had to admit even if that was not something she often thought. She remembered back home there were many stray dogs. Mikasa always found time (When no one was watching that was) to pet the creatures. Reaching out she touched the head of the girl who flinched slightly before she began petting the girl's hair. Enjoying the petting that the girl was getting, the pony tailed girl rested her head on the girl's lap closing her eyes.
Slightly distracted the dark haired girl looked up into the sky. She had been been petting the girl was a while and it was probably about time that she should be getting back. There was no way that Shadis was going to miss her for being away for so long. She didn't really fell like running 10 miles as a punishment either.
"Hey" Mikasa poked the girl in the cheek causing her to jot up.
"Ow..." Sasha moaned holding her cheek. "That was hard Mikasa."
"I have to get going now." Mikasa completely ignored the girl's complaint. Stand up to leave Mikasa felt something grab onto her sleeve. Turning back she saw the Dog eared girl clinging onto her arm.
"Can...can I come with you? P...please?" Sasha gave her best puppy eyes to the girl.
"No." Mikasa responded bluntly "I'd get in trouble."
"I promise, I won't be any trouble. I swear!" Sasha was trying even harder to get the girl to take her with her. "You're the first person who I've found whose helped me. You gave me food as well."
Mikasa sighed. She was having a sense of Deja vu right now. She remembered when ever she gave food to dogs back home, they'd always follow her home. She had to stop feeding them eventually. Glancing down at the dog eared girl who was currently burring her face in her chest. She was just like a dog.
"Come with me" Mikasa grasped the girl's forearm dragging her through the forest.
Mikasa knew that she couldn't exactly bring the girl back to the camp, but there was one other place that she knew the girl could stay. Remembering the path, she dragged to girl to an old abandoned barn.
"Wait here a minute" Mikasa instructed to the girl who obeyed standing completely still. Grasping the barn door she pried it open, checking that there was nothing inside. Eventually finding the barn to be empty she waved at the girl signalling her to come towards her.
"You can stay here." Mikasa told the girl. "Me and Armin used to use this place when we first started here as a resting place."
Sasha glanced around the wide room. Admiring every part of the old building.
"Maybe you should get some sleep. You don't look like you've slept well for a long time." Mikasa informed the girl
"Oh ok..." Sasha walked over to the piles of hay. She knew they weren't exactly "fresh", but it differently felt better then sleeping on the cold muddy floor like she had for the past few days.
"You're not staying here?" Sasha questioned looking rather saddened again.
"I'll bring you some food tomorrow." Mikasa attempted to reassure the girl.
"Th..thank you.." Sasha turned her head away from the girl.
Mikasa let out a small puff of breath before she turned to leave "Just make sure you get some sleep."
"Hey..M..Mikasa" Sasha called out, preventing the dark haired girl from leaving.
"What is it?" Mikasa questioned
"I...Kind of lied earlier. When...When I said I didn't remember everything." Sasha confessed " The thing is...I'm...I'm actually be hunted by someone."
A/N Finally got round to doing this. Hopefully the wait will have been worth it. I don't know how active I'll be on this fic but I'll try to get more of it done.
