Thank you for the amazing response!

He stared.

And so she stared right back without fear.

Eventually, he either grew bored or unnerved, but he finally looked away and Kagome tilted her head at him when he let out an irritated noise.

"How old are you, brat?" Levi asked, glancing over at Erwin, who much his annoyance, had not said much since they had arrived at their headquarters, but instead, simply observed their reactions with each other quite intently.

The blond had decided to not tell the Military Police of the tiny girl and had ordered them back before they could arrive.

Hell, he probably would not even tell their own Commander Shadis for a while yet.

It was probably a bad idea, but Levi had learned long ago not to question Erwin's decisions anymore and kept silent about it for now.

"Six." Kagome answered, looking just as detached as she did when standing over the cooling corpse of the man that she had apparently killed.

'There's something very wrong with this brat,' Levi wanted to sigh, but refrained from doing so, "And why did you kill four men?"

"They weren't nice men," Kagome simply said, "They were going to take me away and sell me because I am Asian." She glanced down at her hands, looking at the drying blood with disinterest.

"Are you lying about your age?" Levi asked darkly, not liking what he was hearing. Sure, he had been a messed-up kid as well, but even he wasn't good enough to master fighting skills without a guide to show him first.

Of course, not that he liked thinking about his 'guide' in the first place.

"Why would I lie?" Kagome asked, "I don't have any reason to." She added, curling up into herself because she was starting to feel cold.

Hopefully, they would let her leave soon.

"And where did you learn your skills?" Erwin spoke up for the first time, "Do you have any parents? A guardian?" Even for him, it was still hard to believe that she had no one to teach her these things.

"Does it look like it?" For the first time since being in her presence, Erwin and Levi were a bit surprised to hear a hint of anger tinting her otherwise stoic voice.

"Fuck no," Levi said bluntly, giving her a look of disdain, "When was the last time you took a bath, brat?"

Her dark hair was long, unkempt, and sticking up in every direction. Her clothes and skin were stained with mud and blood and he noticed that she did not even wear any shoes.

To him, she was a pitiful and disgusting sight.

Kagome did not bother to answer the stupid question and looked to Erwin, "Can I leave now?" She asked with the apathetic voice that was starting to get on Levi's nerves, "Or do I need to go to jail?"

The blond smirked, "I doubt even the Military Police would believe your story and throw you in the dungeons," He stated, "If you agree to my earlier proposal, then this will be your home from now on and you can use your skills to help us kill the Titans."

Kagome stayed silent for a moment, seemingly thinking over the idea as Levi stared at her with narrowed eyes, "Fine." She said in a mumble, knowing it was better to have a place to stay so no more men would try to kidnap her.

Even if she had to be Levi's 'sister'...
