Wherever I Go

Chapter One

Mikasa's POV

As Levi was informing me on what he was going to do today, I realized that I should've been listening to him with both ears instead of one. I had been thinking about something else at the moment, since I just woke up a few minutes ago, and was still dressed in my pajamas.

It was an early, Saturday morning, and also my first morning in Shiganshina. We had just moved into the apartment last night. My bags were still packed, and so were Levi's I believe.

I have to start school on Monday, and Levi wants me to try and make friends. I think he said something about there being a lot of people my age in this apartment building, but I'm not sure.

"Anyways, while I'm not here, Eren will be with you."

"I'm sorry, what?" I blinked, realizing he was talking to me. I was clueless to what he was talking about.

"Eren, your bodyguard, he lives next door." He replied and sighed, "Were you not listening?"

"I don't need a bodyguard." I stated, ignoring his question. He knew the answer anyways.

"Yes you do."

I just sighed. I knew it was pointless arguing with him, because he always won the arguments. He apparently knows what's best. Though, he kinda does when it comes to my safety.

But, I still think that I don't need a bodyguard. I can protect myself on my own. Why do I even need one? I'm pretty sure some regular boy couldn't protect me, because I don't even know what I am, some kind of advanced human being? All I know is that I'm faster and stronger than any normal person. I'm really strong, and that's not only because I work out.

"I'm off," Levi informed me as he grabbed his car keys from one of the boxes on the counter, "If you go anywhere, Eren has to go too, I don't want you going anywhere alone. He can show you around Shiganshina or something."

I have a feeling that this Eren was going to basically be my dog, following me around wherever I go.

"Alright."

He nodded a 'goodbye' and left out the door, closing it behind him. I didn't know when this Eren dude was coming so I just decided to go ahead and make myself some breakfast. I made myself some cereal and placed it on the empty coffee table, then studied the TV set on the stand, in front of the couch. It was newer than our older one, so I wanted to know how it worked.

After finally learning how to adjust the settings and change the channels, I began eating my cereal while I flipped through a few channels. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

"Coming..." I called and set my almost finished bowl of cereal back down, then got up to answer the door. I peeped through the peep hole, to see a boy standing there. He had brown hair, blue-green eyes and he was also somewhat tan. I unlocked the door and opened it slightly, enough to poke my head out.

"Hey, you're Mikasa, right?"

"Yeah," I answered, "Eren?"

He nodded. I opened the door and motioned for him to come in. He did so and I shut the door behind him.

"Nice apartment..." He commented as he looked around, checking out the inside.

"Thanks." I replied, "Still haven't unpacked much."

"Need help?" He offered.

"Maybe later, thanks." I replied to his offer, "I haven't took a shower or anything, so I think I'm gonna do that."

"Okay, want me to show you around the city later? Levi told me it may be a good idea." He said.

"Sure." I responded, "I'm gonna go shower now, make yourself at home I guess."

He nodded and sat down on the couch, then pulled out his phone. Then, I grabbed some clothes and towels, headed to the bathroom, closed and locked the door behind me, and got in the shower.

Eren's POV

As I was texting Armin on my phone, I heard a "Done." from behind me. Mikasa took her wet, long black hair from the towel it was wrapped in, "I'll go dry my hair real quick and then I'll be ready."

"Okay."

I watched as she grabbed a hair brush and a hair dryer from what seemed to be her room, then she went into the bathroom, pushing the door almost closed behind her.

I didn't know her at all, but Levi gave me a simple order: protect her at all costs.

I'm not supposed to leave her alone when she goes places, including at school, I'm supposed to keep her as safe as possible.

I bet this is awkward for her, having someone stay with you when you go places. Plus, she's the 'new girl' as people would probably label her for a while.

After drying her hair, she pulled on a jacket and grabbed her phone, then was ready to leave. I grabbed my jacket as well and we left her apartment, then the building, where the doorman gave us a smile as we passed by him at the door.

We walked side by side down the sidewalk, through the city of Shiganshina, where I was going to show her around.
