Kenny coughed up blood as he crawled over to a tree. Half of his body was burnt. He breathed heavily as he sat down, leaning his head against the trunk. Guess you were right kid, he thought.
Kenny looked at the girl's face. He could tell with just one look that she had seen a lifetime of pain.
"You! Get out!" he said coldly.
"Please sir, I need a place to say," she replied.
Kenny scowled. Damn... the kid really looks like Kuchel, he thought. He shook the thought out of his head.
"You have two choices kid: die out there or in here,"
Kenny was surprised when Levi jumped in front of her.
"Mira stays," he said in a low voice.
Kenny looked down at the dagger he held.
"Finally brave enough to challenge me Levi? I'm surprised," he said smirking. Guess she could teach him to be a good person. I wouldn't be any good at that anyways, he thought. "Fine. But I won't be taking care of either of you," I'm not gonna be these kid's parents.
Kenny strolled into his home.
"Levi..." he said stopping as he saw where he was. Levi and Mira lay on the ground sleeping. Kenny felt a weird feeling in his chest. "What the hell is wrong with me?" he told himself. Before he knew it, tears filled his eyes. The tears rolled down his cheeks. "Dammit Kuchel... why do you have to show up now?" he muttered.
Kenny watched Levi and Mira grow up. Sometimes he wished he could be a good father for them, but that could never happen.
Kenny watched as Mira killed the leader of the Viper gang. His mouth opened as he watched her. All that power... he thought. I would say... even more than an Ackerman.
Kenny waited until Levi left the room as Mira ate dinner. She took small bites, her hands shaking as she picked up the food.
"I watched you today. I saw what you did,"
Mira almost jumped. "Um... yeah," she muttered.
Kenny pulled up a chair and sat down putting his feet on the table.
"You're powerful kid... do you know where your power comes from?"
Mira put down her food. "...from countless years of suffering,"
Kenny put his feet down and leaned forward.
"You crave it, don't you," Mira said darkly. "Power,"
Kenny lifted an eyebrow.
"I know what you seek. The founding titan's power,"
Kenny's eyes widened. "Who... who are you?"
"The true king would know. You could just ask him,"
"What, Uri? You've gotta be kidding,"
"The royal family hides secrets you only wish you could know,"
"Who are you?" Kenny asked getting annoyed.
Mira didn't reply but instead kept eating her food.
"I could kill you kid," he said.
Mira looked at him unimpressed. Her hands shook, but even so she seemed more dangerous than anyone Kenny had met.
"You won't kill me... because you don't want to," she said knowingly.
Kenny scowled. "I'm only keeping you alive because I want to see what kind of monster you'll become," he said. "How did you become so powerful?"
"I already told you. I had to lose everything,"
Kenny looked up. An older Levi stood in front of him. Kid really grew up didn't he? he thought. You'd be proud of your son Kuchel.
He saw the young brown haired girl standing next to him. Everything faded to black except her.
"Did you accomplish your dream?" she asked.
"No..."
"What did you lose?"
"...everything,"
