What More Could I Need (Book #2) AOT Fanfiction

Bad News

Saichi Yamazaki

"So, what's the story behind this kid?"

I throw off my rubber gloves and toss them away. I had to give him stitches and a complete wrap for his eye until it heals. I plan to keep him around but I want to know as much as I can about him. There's a reason behind his temper and his life before he went into selling drugs, throwing his entire future away. As usual, I sent Takahiro out to find the information.

He and Hange stand by the door while I place covers over the kid's body. The medicine I gave him should keep him out for the night. "Haru Shiraki. He doesn't have much on his record besides being kicked off the soccer team for violence. He's actually a bright kid and gets excellent scores when he actually goes to school." But he acts like an idiot. "His father is a yakuza member, the clan I wasn't able to uncover. He was just a client of his mother."

"He's a werecat by creation," Hange adds. "It explains why he can't control it."

"His mother is an active prostitute and, from what Dimitrius was able to uncover, she was very abusive toward him. She hated his existence and cared nothing for him as her child. She allowed a lot of her clients to have their way with him just so they pay would be higher."

I grit my teeth. Just to release some of the anger that is beginning to build up, I take the knife from my pocket and shoot it at the wall. It goes through the material, sticking there. I'm going to find that woman. "Get her name and a location."

Takahiro walks over and snatches my knife from the wall, tucking it away in his jacket. "May I ask why?"

"I don't think I can focus, knowing a being like that is still walking around."

People like her make me sick. She reminds me of my parents and the life I had to live. "Saichi, there's something else," Hange speaks. I can't take any more news at the moment. "He has a little sister. She's actually admitted to the hospital. Her name is Yuri."

Yuri Shiraki... Her name doesn't sound familiar. I pick up my phone and call Nanabe. He has a night shift in the record room. After an incident two years ago, we have someone watching over the room every couple of hours. I hope I can catch him before he leaves for his rounds. He picks up after only three rings. "Saichi? What's going on?"

"Nanabe, I know it's late. Are you still in the records room?"

"Yes, I'm here for another hour."

"Can you look up a name for me? Yuri Shiraki."

"Sure, do you want me to send her files over?"

"I'll send Levi over to pick them up. Thank you, Nanabe. Take care of yourself. Don't skip any meals." I hang up and look at the two men. "Hange, you can leave. Thank you for your help so far."

He nods and walks away without another word. He's acting strange, stranger than normal. Haru was made. Hange hates finding werecats that were created. It reminds him of Aki and Maki, how he ruined their lives by cursing them with physical troubles. Takahiro leaves to find Levi and relay my instructions. In the room comes Maki, in his human form. He smells like shampoo and his hair is damp.

He doesn't say a word. He holds out a towel and waits. I snatch it away and gesture to the vanity chair. I sit down and he moves between my legs, facing toward me. He holds his head down while I dry his hair. "Where's Eren?" I ask.

"Aki is with him in your room." I don't speak again. I wait, continuing to dry his hair even though it is thoroughly dry. He has something on his mind. His body language is off. "What... What do I do?"
