I hope you all understand why Komui's dead. I don't really feel like explaining it here, so...yeah. Anyway, Happy Fourth of July! USA, USA, USA! This chappy is sort of a filler, I guess. idk. This story was beta'd by KappasRule, of course, and remember to REVIEW

I own neither DGM nor SNK


Lenalee stood there, shocked at her own actions. Now, two men lay in the room dead.

She had killed someone, with her own innocence.

Lenalee didn't know what to do. She stood there, shaking, when a man walked in upon the scene. "Komui, do you have the…."

His voice trailed off when he saw the two dead men and the little girl. She turned, and looked at him with tear-filled eyes. "Oh…"

"I… I…" She stuttered.

The man sighed. "Who would do this to such a good man?" He shook his head, and took a swig from his canteen. "You can call me Pixis, Lenalee. Your brother… bit off more than he could chew."

Year 850, private room in courthouse

Allen creaked open the door. "Excuse me…" When he walked in, everyone glanced toward his direction for a moment, but then they went off to their own duties.

He recognized a few people in the room. Eren, Levi, Erwin, and Hange. The rest were people he's never seen before. Hange was playing with something in a cloth, and Erwin was talking with Levi and Eren. "Ah, hello Allen." Erwin greeted, Allen smiled back.

"Huh? You know Allen?" Eren asked, as Allen approached the trio.

"Yup. The whole Survey Corps knows him."

"Erwin…" Allen breathed. "That's not true."

"Ok, maybe not."

Eren furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. "But wait… you were in the 104th with me, weren't you?"

"Yes, I was." Allen observed Eren's condition. Bruises and blood stains had covered his face. "Although, that may be a story for another time." Allen turned to Levi. "Levi, I thought I told you to go easy on him."

"Tch, he's all right."

"Yeah, I'm all right." Eren agreed hastily. "I'm healing."

"Hmm…" Allen hummed. He looked around. The other soldiers seemed to be occupied with whatever they were doing. Now may be the right time. "Eren, there is something I have to say. Levi and Erwin already know this."

Eren leaned in, since Allen's voice had lowered, just like in the courtroom. "What is it?" He asked.

"I'm a titan shifter, just like you."

First his eyes widened. "Hold on, you can't just go around saying things like that."

"Believe it, brat." Levi said, bringing Eren's attention. "I saw his titan form."

Allen nodded. "See, I have a witness. Erwin hasn't seen my form, but he believes me."

"What…?" Eren shook his head. "What's the point of telling me this?"

Allen sighed. "The point is, Eren… I'm fully conscious when I'm in my titan form. I can teach you how to control your power."

"That's great!" Eren cried. "When can we start?"

Allen winced, and pulled himself back from the huddle. "What are we starting?" Hange asked from behind, and Allen swiftly moved out of her way.

"Allen's going to-"

Allen shot Eren an icy death-glare, cutting Eren off from what he was going to say. Eren flinched, and looked to his feet. "Never mind."

Hange raised an eyebrow. "Ok… weird." She then shrugged. "Hey, Allen. Did you know that Levi kicked a tooth out of Eren?"

"No."

"Well, he did! Look! This is Eren's tooth." Hange opened the cloth and showed Allen a bloodied tooth, Allen made a face at it.

"Hange, quit showing that thing around. It's disgusting." Levi snapped.

"I'm trying to prove a point!" Hange said exasperatedly. "Anyway, his tooth is growing back! Weird, right?"

To Allen it wasn't weird. He's already experienced something similar. Suddenly Allen shivered. "Ah, you ok?" Hange asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. It is weird though, isn't it?" Allen asked.

Hange hummed in agreement, and walked away observing the tooth in her hand. "So, Allen. Will you be joining us in the expedition?" Erwin asked. Allen turned to face Erwin.

"Maybe." Allen shrugged. "It really depends on what my master says. But…I will come with you guys to HQ."

"Ok." Erwin grunted, he was about to turn to leave.

"Wait!" Allen called, and Erwin slipped back. "I actually think I should leave before you guys. With Eren."

Everyone around the couch stared at Allen as if he was crazy. "Eh? What's wrong with that?"

"Allen, if he goes berserk or something…" Erwin spoke slowly.

"If he goes 'berserk or something' I can handle it. Right Levi?"

"Don't bring me into this." Yet, everyone stared at him expectantly. He let out an exasperated sigh. "If he goes before us, he can begin training with Eren. Teaching him about his titan form and everything."

"See?" Allen huffed.

"I think it's a good idea." Eren piped in. "That way he could transform if he needed to, without anyone seeing."

Erwin then gave in. "Ok. If anything goes wrong, it'll be Allen's fault."

"Ok!" Allen beamed. "Eren, we're leaving tomorrow morning."

"Sure."


The next morning, Allen and Eren departed on two horses. Eren wore the Survey Corps uniform, yet Allen wore his Black Order uniform. They had ridden for a long time in silence. There was just nothing to talk about, other than the weather.

"Hey, Allen."

Also, Allen was a good deal ahead of Eren.

Allen heard his name being called, and slowed his horse so he could ride by Eren. "Yeah?"

"Er… is my hair going to turn white, like yours?"

Allen held back the urge to laugh. "Yes." He said, face completely stoic.

Eren immediately paled. "No… I like my hair…"

Allen grinned evilly, and Eren winced at his expression. "That is how you can tell who is a titan-shifter and who is not. Just look for their white hair and scar."

Eren's eyes widened. "Scar? I'll gain a pentagram scar like yours too?" Eren groaned. "No..."

"Ha! I was just kidding." Allen laughed at a bemused Eren. "Aww, come on. There's nothing bad with white hair and star-shaped scar, right?" Allen asked, nudging Eren, who was absent-mindedly playing with a strand of his own hair. "Your hair and face are going to stay the same, Eren. Trust me." Allen said after a while, noticing how worried Eren looked.

They rode through a forest, and trees stood high above them. However, not as tall as the titan forest outside the wall. Light seeped through the trees and lit the road ahead of them. Eren seemed less tense and worried than before.

"Hey, that's HQ."

"Oh… looks kind of old." Eren commented as they rode closer to the stone castle-like building.

"Yeah. Levi would probably want us to clean it." Allen grinned slyly. "But we won't, we have more important things to do."
