Uh, so, yeah. New story. We're still trying it out, so leave us a review if you like it.

Chapter ONE

She had no idea how long she had been lying there.

The knock at the door.

Everyone expecting Doctor Jaegar to step in.

The frozen moment before the knife was stabbed through her father.

The men entering their house.

Her mother yelling at her to run.

Her being too scared to move.

The blade being brought down on her mother.

The last pleading look shot at her before the light left her mother's eyes.

Her hands were tied behind her back.

The men that had killed her parents had brought her down the hill sometime ago, and she had been left lying on the dirty wooden floor ever since.

She had heard the men talking about her. She was going to be sold, and there was nothing she could do about it.

Then again, she had not thing left; did it really matter?

Levi walked along the street, trying his best to avoid stepping on anything dirty. Well, to him, everything was filthy, but if you spent nearly all your time around the underground district, even Levi had to lower his standards. Isabel Magnolia and Farlan Church followed him, commenting on the way his steps seemed very uncomfortable.

Levi bit his tongue to stop himself from snapping at them. After all, considering the place they were walking through, he did not want to catch attention. Instead, he pulled the hood of his cloak further across his face. Hidden under the brown piece of cloth that all three of them wore were their stolen 3 Dimensional Maneuver Gear.

He glanced back when he heard Isabel gasp. Both him and Farlan followed the gaze of their female companion and Levi caught sight of a girl sitting in a cage.

Even at first sought, Levi could tell the girl was pretty. Her filthy, slightly blood stained clothes seemed to bring out her features more.

The girl seemed to be around nine or ten.

Levi glanced at Isabel, who continued staring at the girl. The man standing next to her cage was talking to another man, who was gesturing at the girl.

Almost as if she had no control over her actions, Isabel began walking towards the girl. The man by the cage looked up from his customer at the sound of footsteps and looked ready to snap at Isabel when he caught of Levi standing a little distance behind her.

The other man glanced over his shoulder when the guy stopped talking. Without a word, he quickly scurried away.

No one wanted to face Levi.

Levi and Farlan glanced at each other. They had a very bad feeling about this. Before they could stop her, Isabel had stormed up to the man.

"How much do you want for the girl?" Isabel asked.

Levi's eyes widened at the same time Farlan reached coasts and grabbed Isabel's arm. "Are you serious?" He asked.

Isabel whirled around to face Farlan. "Just look at her." She said. "Look at her and tell me you don't want to help her."

Farlan groaned. "I know, but we won't new able to take care of her-"

Isabel waved him off. "I will." She retorted, then turned back to the man. "So, how much?" She repeated.

Farlan glanced at Levi for help, but Levi was top busy staring at the huddled form of the girl to notice. He recognized that look in her eyes. The blank, cold eyes of one that had lost anything.

The eyes of one with nothing left to lose.

He blinked when Farlan nudged him. "Isabel is serious." He said.

Levi absent-mindedly nodded and turned back to listen to the man, who was arguing with Isabel over the price.

"She's Oriental, provably the last of her race." The man was saying. "We had to kill her parents to take her. The mother was pure, but that idiot killed her." The last bit was muttered, as though not for their ears, but Levi heard it anyways.

"But ten gran just for a girl?" Isabel snapped.

"She's Oriental." The man repeated, as if he was talking to a small child.

Levi stepped forward. "We'll give you three." He said. "And you should take it before I slit your throat."

The man looked as if he was holding his tongue, just because his opponent was Levi. "F-fine." He snarled. Isabel shot him a smug glare, and tossed him the coins. "Take her."

The man threw a key at Isabel, who fumbled but managed to catch it. She darted over to the cage and unlocked the cage door, then quickly opened the chain around the girl's ankle. The girl slowly glanced up at Isabel, before she slowly lowered her gaze again.

Levi stepped back to stand next to Farlan, who turned to him as though the occurrences before him had finally caught up to him. "Wait, you're agreeing to taking her in?" He asked.

Levi shrug. "Isabel's not going to listen even if we say she can't." He said. "Plus, I have a feeling that the brat will grow strong in the future."

Farlan sighed but didn't say anymore. He knew Levi liked to think that Isabel was the unreasonable one of the three, but he could be just as difficult.

Isabel was crouching before the girl, a grin on her face. "Hey, come out."

The girl wordlessly leaned forwards and stepped out of the cage. Isabel tugged at something hooked to her belt and drew out a knife. The girl stiffened and Isabel placed her hand onto her head. "I'm not going to hurt you." She said. "Just turn around."

The girl obediently did as she was told and Isabel tried to cut the ropes off the girl's wrist. She clicked her tongue in annoyance and Levi let out a sigh before taking the knife from her. Isabel grinned sheepishly and Levi let out another sigh before he cut off the rope with a simple flick of his wrist.

The girl turned around and looked up at him, before she glancing down at her wrists and rubbed at the red marks.

Isabel bent down so that she was face to face with her. "Hi, I'm Isabel." She said. "That's Levi and that's Farlan." She pointed at her two companions in turn. "What's your name?"

The girl glanced up and stared at Isabel with those blanks eyes of hers. "...kasa." The girl whispered.

Isabel frowned a little. "Sorry, I missed that...?"

The girl strained to speak louder. "Mikasa."

Hellooo!

So, as we said earlier, this is a new story.

If you guys like it and think we should continue, please leave us a review!

Also, neither of us have read 'No regrets', so Isabel and Farlan may be VERY OCC and we wouldn't know, so if you think this is the case, please tell us. Though we have read the Wiki page for both characters, we're not very sure...and...yeah.
