Disclaimer:I DO NOT own anything, maybe some make up characters along the
story. This would be my first
Evangelion fanfic so take it easy on me.
Warning, Shinji is a player and to good to fit his actual character. Though I will make him more to those that suggest the changes.
AU The Power within the Child ~~~~~ The Birth and the First Step
Bustle, rushing, running, yelling sounds were made as the doctor and nurses trying to get the soon to be mother ready to have her newborn. The quiet night was disturbed by the mother's scream.
"Hang on Yui" Gendo whisper to his wife as she took a hold of his hand and he whimper from her grip.
"Just one more push, Mrs. Ikari, almost there" the doctor said to her and she brightens as she heard the baby cried, "It's a boy" the doctor whispers quietly but suddenly yelp as he felt the boy tried to kick out of his hold but quiet down as he was brought to his mother's arm. "He's going to be a hell of a fighter when he grows up I tell ya that"
"Wonders where it came it from?" Yui whispers amusingly as she frown at her husband.
"It wasn't me who started the fight." he lightly kiss her, and took his son in his arms "Ikari Shinji, my son"
"A hard concept is it not?" Fuyutsuki asked as he stepped through the door.
"Very, but he will be great" Gendo frowned and gave a small smile as he lift his son over his head not caring if the child would enjoy it. Almost to himself, "I'll make sure of that".
~~~~~~ 10 years later
"Ikari, concentrate, you must focus your thoughts or you'll never master it and if you can't do that, you will never defeat me or your enemies"
'It's has been far too long have I seen father who suddenly decided that I was no use to him. After mother had died it had been hard for us both but mostly father just took it upon himself to blame me. As selfish as his thoughts were it was the truth. I was surely to be blame for it, some how.'
"Hai sensei" the boy replied as he went into another serious of attack. 'Too much is on my mind, it's like I'm going to blow if I don't step back, turn and start retreating.' Memories and photo images flashes through his head as he swung the sword down hard in desperation to get rid of the murdering headache. Hearing the grunt from his forty-five year old sensei, he immediately grinned, and evade to the side of his teacher in the blink of an eye, and struck him in the rip and kicked his leg from under him. The hard thud sound made him grin even wider.
"That was a sheep hit" his sensei commented as Shinji helped him up.
"What do you expect from a ten year old sensei" Shinji replied as he brought out a bottle of water for his teacher/ guardian. "Plus you're old as a hill" he laughed as his teacher choked on the water he was drinking.
"Hmmph, Mark Twain once said 'Whatever a man's age may be he can reduce it several years by putting a bright- color flower in his buttonhole.'" he smirk as his student was trying to think what it meant.
Finally, not knowing what it had to do with this Shinji replied "But didn't Twain wrote 'The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn', now that book was as wacky as that quote."
"Since when did you start reading American text and stop reading the scrolls I have provided you" his teacher glared at him, making child feel suddenly sick again.
"Well I needed a break from those old things...." he stop suddenly from the frown on his teacher's face "I mean, I just want to read some other this you have in your library. What's the use of having three different languages if you can't use it right?" he smile seeing his teacher giving in.
"Fine, as long as you study those scrolls I gave you" his teacher walked to the porch finally got his normal breathing back.
"Oh sensei, I need a favor." Shinji whisper, sounding serious.
"What is it?"
"The languages you taught me are fine and all but I need another one to go with German, English" Shinji frowns.
"Okay, what aaabout..." he trailed "French, or Italian, you can pick a lot of chicks that way" he winked to Shinji who smirk.
"Just like you to think of something like that" Shinji replied in amusement, but frown as he looks up at the dark sky. In the county these times of years the stars were brighter than ever due to the cause of the Second Impact. The why, and how, was left to the scientist to figure out, not a kid like him. 'No, not for a man like me' Shinji though grimly but there was irony in his though [Note: I don't know if that can happens to anyone else].
"So what do you need Shinji?" his teacher turned to him, his eyes were as caring as his mother's but their were many differences. Behind those eyes he could tell that the man was hiding something from him, a secrete that he would protect with his life if it would come to it. So far he only know that he has a lot to do with it and that he would find out when the time comes, and to get the answer to the when and what would be next to impossible.
"Ancient text" Shinji whispered quietly, not sure if his teacher hear it but with that big ear of his, he probably did.
"Ya sure, it's going to be tough, harder than German,"
Just the though he needed, Shinji though, hours and hours, both day and night of study and learning how to speak that crazy language, but in the end he was able to not only to get the gasp of it like his sensei but lengthen his knowledge to it and master it.
"But I'll be fine sensei, have I ever given up on something before?"
"Well there's that science club you thought you would be great at, but you quit a week after"
"That's a different story, I only did it because father was a scientist and thankfully I can now say, I hate science and scientist."
"Your mother was a scientist, a great one at that" his sensei turn to look at the stars.
"Yeah I know," Shinji whisper quietly "But I don't think she hates me like father does"
"Your father doesn't hate you Shinji, and I'm sorry to bring up your mother into this"
"No, it's fine." Shinji stared darkly at the crescent moon. "I just want her to be proud of me"
"And she is Shinji, even if your not a great scientist like that lady who came up with MAGI the super computer, as long as you don't doubt yourself you'll be fine"
"I never doubted myself until father left" he glared at the stars, making a fist. "That was the first day that I cried other than the day mother died. And I promise myself never to cried again."
"Everyone needs to cried once in a while, even a man as old as me cried for no reason" his sensei said amusingly.
"That's because a man like you are either really old or they're crazy" Shinji laugh as his teacher playfully mess with his already mess up hair.
"Your hair is getting longer and longer, why don't you get that bang cut off." his teacher frown, look at the small child's hair. The back was evened and well tamed, but the top was pointing every where and the bangs were covering his eyes a bit.
"I thought it would look cool. Besides the ladies seem to think so." Shinji smirk and getting up to open the door. "That's all that matters right?"
"You have grown to be a master, Shinji, and I'm proud of you, now all you need is your servant"his sensei looked at him with pride.
"I have learned from the best sensei"
"hmm, your ancient study with me will be on Sunday from now on, get a good night sleep Shinji" his teacher smiled at him.
Returning it with a small one he replied, "Good night sensei" and turned in.
~~~~~~~ 2015 AD
"Due to the special emergency all line are currently unavailable..."
"Great, just great!!" Shinji slammed the phone down hard hoping that the machine would burst from the other end of the line. With a force he brought down his sword and slice the phone in halves. "Stupid machines, I rather sent a falcon with a message than a phone, at least they're more reliable."
Looking at his watch. "Doesn't everyone know it's rude to make someone wait." Looking at the photo like post card, seeing the amazingly young middle age woman pose. "She thinks too much of her body, such an obsession that is not easy to get rid of"
Taking his eyes off the post card for a bit he glances up to she a girl with a school uniform with blue hair and what seems to be red eyes. Suddenly the birds seems to have been frighten either by the girl or him, it flew from the telephone pole and the next thing he know she was gone. Unexpectedly there was an earthquake or what seems to be, he looked up seeing the air crafts beginning to back away from something big, his heart was beginning to beat faster and harder, whether it's from wanting to get out of there or the want to take out his sword and give that thing a piece of his mind for scaring the shit out of him. The fire arms and missiles weren't doing anything for it, so he was sure taking out his sword wouldn't do anything either.
"What the hell is that?"
"An angel" suddenly a voice came behind him.
"You know I could have cut your head off for sneaking behind me, I notice you a mile away so you can't be a Battousai." turning to meet her impassive stare, "so who the hell are you?"
Looking up and down his profile, Misato was definitely surprise that the boy was taller than his father had said and a bit toned for his age, and the sword he held to his side looked rather impressive. The hair was a bit messy but amazingly looked nice and the bang just cover his blue intense eyes a bit. All and all he looked rather handsome for someone that young.
"You have 10 more seconds to replied before start slicing" he grinned darkly at the horror look on the dark/purple like hair woman and withdraw his sword from its' sheath.
"I..ahh...I'm...ahh...Katsuragi Misato" she took a step back to her car.
Placing his sword back into in bag. "Nice to meet you Miss Katsuragi, what is it..." his sentence was shut out as a giant foot came down next to him.
"Later, we got to get out of here." Misato got into her car followed by Shinji.
As the car evades the stomping feet of the monster, Shinji never felt that kind of a rush.
"This is even better than the 2010 Tournament, what a rush?" Shinji grinned
"So you saw that huh? I would have thought you were a bit young to see such a bloody Tournament such as that" Misato replied not taking her eyes off the wheel for a second and evade another step.
"What do you mean? I was in it" he glared at her for thinking he was too young
"WHAT?" Misato stopped as they were far enough from the Angel.
"Well, I don't look like I used to, but I was the guy with the blue cloak and the hood " seeing the stunned look, "sensei was sick, even though I know he was faking it, sensei wanted me to get a hang of real fight" shaking his head, "it wasn't enough that the second impact killed more than a quarter of people on earth we must kill each other for entertainment. But the money was good too, he wanted me to save it for college. So what are we waiting for?"
"That!" seeing that the aircraft were backing away again, Shinji felt a bad premonition coming.
"Hit the deck!" Shinji saw it was coming. N2. Huge blast that send the car flipping off the rode. They were far away enough for the Angel but not from N2.
Silence.
"Are you okay Miss Katsuragi?"
"Iie, just Misato is fine, and I'm fine" Taking off her sunglasses, which he didn't notice she had on before.
'Probably she had it on when they got in the car, or I was just busy staring at her...' shaking his head he tried to think off something else.
"Arigato Misato-san"
"I'm glad we've finally met Ikari Shinji, your father mention much of you. Wanta help me with the car?" she pointed to the car that was flipped to the side.
"Ohh, sure" That first statement struck him like a brick, finally realizing what he was asked to do he walked to the car's side and push it back on it's four wheels with almost an ease, 'It help to have a gym in your house. Iie, not my house, sensei's house' he make a fist but relaxed as Misato came over.
"Thanks, ready?"she step into the wrecked up car and start it up as Shinji got in.
Looking out the window thinking to himself what he was doing here and what his father want from him, Shinji hadn't notice Misato was on the phone with someone, and he didn't care. He just want to get there, hear what his father wants, tell him to fuck himself and just leave. 'Oh don't forget the punch in the face before leaving' with that he turned to the woman who seems to have a lot on her mind, and suddenly something caught his eyes and he looked back. There were at least ten car battery pack, probably stolen.
"umm, Misato-san, are you sure you can take those?" he gestured to the back.
"Ahhaa, never mind about that. It's an emergency and we need that car working right now, right? Besides I'm a government official after all, so everything's going to be perfectly fine, right?"
"I don't think anyone would buy that. Beside, are you suppose to use your power for such things as car battery pack."Shinji replied grimly
"Don't get snotty. You're not as cute as I thought you were."
"So you thought I was cute, such a compliment from a woman as beautiful as you is well taken. I'm surprise your not already taken Misato-san"Shinji said amusingly.
"A charmer I see, I'm going to be in trouble I can tell" she replied flashing him a smile that he smirk.
'Trying to get me to do her dark deeds with that smile will not work'
"Don't you think flirting with a fourteen years old is just sick?" he grinned brightly at her.
"Gomen, I forgotten your just a kid after all" she smiled again
"So are you. I would have think a woman as beautiful as you are would have a capability of being mature."
"What are you implying?" Misato glared at him
"I'm implying that you're even more beautiful when you're angry." he smiled when she took the bait.
"Thank you"she smile. 'Ohh yeah, a hell of a charmer for sure' she blushed, her face began to heat up when she notice he was staring intensely at her. "n..nani?"
"Just wondering where we going and if you could stop the blushing and drive a bit faster it would be greatly appreciated" he grinned again as she floored it and gave him another glared. "YEAHHH!"
~~~~~~ "The gates are now closing, please stand clear...."
"NERV?" Shinji asked
"Yes, it's a special organization under the control of UN."
"I never thought the United Nation would have something as big as this hidden from people"
"It's not as well hidden as we would like."
"So this is where my father hid his ass all these years?" he grind his teeth
"Yes, haha, I never heard anyone called Commander Ikari ass before" Misato said amusingly.
Shinji didn't replied as he took out his sword to see if it was ready for his father's blood.
"What are you going to do with that? You know weapons are not allow in here?"she said softly as the car got on the elevator.
"Oh, don't worry about the guards, they try to stop me, they'll join the ship to hell with father."he glared at her daring her to say something about, or stop him.
"Do you know what he does?"
"From the way you said his name it seems that he is well respected, and the title Commander are not given to common scientist. Sensei said his work was important to the human race." Shinji said softly, and put his sword back in the bag, 'I guess killing him was out of the question'
"I forgot to ask, didn't your father gave you an ID card?"
"Hai.." he gave her the paper which said 'TO:Shinji Ikari Come! Gendo Ikari.'
"Here read this"Misato handed him a hand book.
"Welcome to NERV. For Your Eyes Only"
"Father's agency, am I going to work for him too?" he didn't need a replied for that question. "He wouldn't ask me to come if he didn't needed me"
"It looks like you don't get a long with your father"
"That's an understatement, it takes a lot to get me angry, but father just struck the last nerve, now I just want to jam my sword down his esophagus."
"It's not healthy to be that angry" she replied tenderly and lied back on her seat.
"It's not healthy to be as beautiful as you are either, and you still do" he said amusingly as she blushed
"Okay, you gotta stop that, if you mention that again I might think you're leading me on Shiji-kun"
"Think whatever you wish Misato..."he stopped in the middle of his sentence as they reach the GEO-Front. "Awsome!"
"Hai hai, it's really amazing isn't it. This is our secret base, NERV HQ. This is the key to rebuild our world a fortress for all mankind."
"You have such a way with words Misato-san" he grinned.
Finally making to the entry gate, Misato took out the map and they begin finding their way around.
"We're lost aren't we?" Shinji grinned at the woman as she scratch her as if that would give her a clue to what she was doing.
"Don't start with me smart ass. Now isn't this the right way?" the door open and the air was release blowing up her skirt a bit.
"Thank you Misato-san, you have just made my day" seeing that she blush she knew what he was talking about.
"Because of these things I hate wearing skirt around here." she flatten her skirt. "Even if I like to"
"I'm guessing you always wanted people to see your favorite red underwear that hung tightly to you beautiful bottom." he laughed as she blushed even more.
"Stop teasing me, now we have to find Ritsuko" still blushing she reflected her thought about the boy who seemingly had not stop teasing her and complimenting her ever since they have met. 'We are going to get a long just fine, I just hope he doesn't get to angry when his father tell him what he was here to do.'
"well it's going to be hell to find a person in this huge place."
"I just have to called her on the announcement, be right back" Misato said with a small smile and walked to the desk.
'That is one wacky woman, I just hope I don't have to work with her over anything, or even worst live with her. Surely father will not want me to live with him, that will just be too easy and a death wish.' he grinned darkly.
"Ready? she said she'll meet us at the elevator. Come on"
"Why are we wasting her time Misato, couldn't we just ask someone for the directions? Or is it your pride you'll be hurting to let people know we're lost?" he grinned even more brightly as she fume.
"hmmph, I will not answer either of those questions"
"You just answered me Misato-san" he chuckled and walked head of her.
Ding, the elevator door opened and he stared at the blonde woman with lab coat over her swimming suit that hung nicely to her figure. Even though he was about several inches shorter than her which was pretty tall for his age, he was still able to see her eyes. The dark eyes looked straight into his dark blue and he almost back down but held her eyes. The eyes that was at the moment question his authority over her, the eyes that he believe to have once hated something every much about him or something about him. He could tell she knew who he was. With a slight bow to the woman, he stepped aside and extended his hand for her to take.
"It's a pleasure to have finally meet you once again Dr. Ritsuko Akagi, my sensei have spoken greatly about you and your mother." he offered her a small smile and notice the tinge of sadness in her eyes as he mention her mother.
"Thank you, and you must be Ikari Shinji, your father mentioned something about you but never said that you look as handsome as you are."she said amazingly and blush suddenly after she heard what she had said and quickly covered her mouth.
"He's only fourteen Ritsu, don't forget it" Misato glared at her friend.
"Gomen, shall we?"Ritsuko said totally forgotten the fact that they had just wasted her time from her work and to yelled at Misato for forgetting her way around.
"Hai" the two replied as they followed her
While they were beginning to talk about what he had not bother with, Shinji went on reading the hand book which he was just finishing up. Next he heard something about battle stations, 'Is there an invasion? Great just my first day here and they had to start something.' After the boat ride they walked into the dark room. 'A fine time to play hide and seek, well just finished the hand book so we can play I guess' he took out his sword and took a stands. 'I love hide and seek' he smirk.
Suddenly the light was turned back on and the three gasp, Shinji gasp from the big ugly robot face, and they were frighten by the single blade, samurai style sword that gave them the impression he didn't like to be in the dark and by the look of the sword they didn't want to know how sharp it is.
"A giant robot?, well that's not in the hand book" putting his sword back in the bag.
"Ii..Iie, you won't find it in the manual. This Man's ultimate-humanoid fighting machine, the first model of the synthetic life form Evangelion, Unit 0. Build here as Man's last hope"Ritsuko replied
"Is this what father been working on?" Shinji walked over to touch it, the armor was as cold as the voice that came next.
"Correct."the rage came quickly as he open his bag once again but before he could take it out four guards were on him. "Get the sword away from him"his father ordered.
"You think it's that simple" Shinji laughed at his father's ignorant. 'You'll all pay for that with you lives.' with that he threw both of the men that grabbed his arm over his shoulders, and snap their arm like twigs. The scream of pain echo. "Never EVER, touch me without my consent." the other two dropped his bag 'Big mistake'. With rag he jumped and spin kick one of the guard as he was taking out his gun. SNAP. His neck was limped, twisted to the side. 'Broken neck is not the way go.' he thought darkly. The other guard was now as frightened as Misato and Ritsuko, but his father didn't say anything about stopping. 'So it's a test I see.'
"So your the one that dropped my bag eh?" Shinji smirk as the man tried to show the strict face to him, but didn't replied. Shinji laughed. "Father, these monkeys worked for you?"no replied "It seems that you life doesn't worth the crap to father, how shall I kill you"he glared at the man as the man took off his face mask. 'well I didn't expected this' a gasp came from his lips.
"I'm sorry Shinji, it has always been planned this way, it was your father that hired me to teach you, and raised you to be what you are now, please forgive me" he begged.
Glaring angery at his father. "You're trying to get me kill my own teacher, that just low." looking down at the man "What are you doing here as a guard, I thought you went home?" he glared down at the man.
"I did and my mission will be over after today and I will see my daughters again, Commander Ikari didn't say you were going to start killing us even though I knew you will, I'm just here to stop you."
"I hope these men didn't have a family"
"No they don't"
Shinji dropped his fight face, and gave the man a small smirk." Get out of here."
"Hai.." as he was getting up, Shinji saw his father brought the gun out from his pocket, and the next thing he knew there was a shot.
Everything was in a slow motion. "LOOOK OOUTT"
Thud. The man lied still, blood began seeping through him. Shinji ran to his side. "Hey, you'll be okay alright, just hang in there, everything will be fine, just tell me what you need"
"You a liar, but I need a favor," the man cough, blood.
"We're going to need a doctor here," he look to Misato who looked down with Ritsuko. 'He's not going to last long at all', "What do you need sensei?" the tears were about to drop but he wipe it away
"Promise..me..to pro..protect my da...daughters.."stilled.
"Great, just great, I didn't know you had daughters, since when did you have a daughter. That's all I needed daughters of my own" he said angrily "What are you, stupid?" he looked up at his father "You don't kill a man who has a family to take care of and not only that he happens to be my only family, you know I will come after you next. What a dumb ass, now I have three people to take care of." glaring at his father who smirk at him "this is the best damn day of my life" he wipe another tear away.
"It only gets better, theirs an angel up there destroying the city that his daughters lives, to protect you know what you have to do." With the final cold stare his father left.
"Oh when I get my hand on that bastard..."he turned to Dr. Akagi "Get the EVA ready" he whispered sounding more confident than he actually felt.
"Hai"Ritsuko replied surprise that he actually took the bait.
He stared coldly at Misato, but knew that she had no idea, but went with whatever her commander said.
Cooling process completed, Cage now in position for docking, Signal plug terminator has been ejected.
"Roger. Inserting entry plug, plug fixed in place. Connecting Unit 01"
"Filling entry plug"
"So this is LCL"Shinji said over the intercom
"Hai" a woman said, who he don't know and could care less. "Connecting secondary contacts. A-10 nerve connection, normal. Configure the language logic interface for Japanese. All primary contacts established. Performance nominal. Bi-directional circuits are open. Synchronization ratio at 41.3%. Harmonics are all normal, no disturbances identified."
"Prepare to launch"
The rest came a blur to Shinji as the next moment he knew he was on surface again. 'What an ugly mother fucker'
"Just concentrate on the walking right now Shinji" Ritsuko said over the intercom.
"Hai." the Unit 01 took a step and then another, but didn't complete it and fell. "A great way to make an ass of myself." seeing the chance the Angel jumped to it and tried to grabbed his face.
"Didn't you know it's rude to stick your hand in front of someone's face."Shinji grid his teeth and immediately jumped to his feet and took the angel's arm. "I teach you some manners because of that!" with a hard pull, Unit 01 pull the angel's face down to his knee. And ripped it's arm off.
"Sempai, something is wrong, Shinji ratio are increasing just a bit odd."
"What is it now?"
"89.5% and increasing"
"Probably because he's pissed."
"Shinji, you have to calmed down, getting angry will not help anyone." Ritsuko said over the intercom
"She right Shinji-kun"Misato added.
"Why should I? This is what father wishes, and I shall deliver it to him" Shinji said with a glare as he ripped another arm off. With a leap he jump into the air ready to step on it like a bug that it is but only to meet with the octagonal shape shield and he jump of. With a starting running he met the shield with a punch that seem to be enough to break it, but was surprise as the blast that seem to came from it's eyes."What the hell was that?" he said to himself as his face began to really hurt as much as the rest of his body.
"Misato, give me a damn weapon would ya?" he yelled furiously, 'fighting with bare hands against something like this is just stupid.'
"There none that is close to you, you'll have to improvise" she told him grimly
"Improvise my ass." with that the kicked the angel down and tackle it hard. Seeing it's Shinji pound with rage on it's core until the angel climb up on his face. "I'm not like that gayas.."it came a surprise to him. The noise and the flash. "Oh great!"
~~~~~ "Oh god the headache" Shinji groan as he sat up.
"So how are you doing to Mr. Ikari?" a old nurse came in with a small smile. "You've been out for 45 hours"
"45 hours?, what's today?" Shinji looked around, it seem that he was brought to the hospital.
"Here are your clothes, and it's Tuesday. Misato wishes to see you when you're ready." she smile again and left.
"I'm guessing I could do that" seeing that she had left Shinji got out of the hospital mock and into his clothes. Combing his hair with his hand "I need a shower."
"Shinji!!" suddenly he felt a pair of arm around him and a pair of breast in his face.
'Smell kinda nice' Shaking his head, "It's kinda hard to breath when your breast is in my face Misato-san, even though it does feel nice and all" he looked up with a smile.
"hehe, how are you feeling?" Misato blushed at the comment
"I'm okay, I just have a lot of this to do, and I need your help" Shinji frown, taking out his cell phone. But didn't dial any numbers yet."Ever since I have lived with him I never knew he had daughters, and he never said anything about his personal life. And I was taught to never look into someone else's personal life."
"what do you need?" she asked with a smile 'he kinda looked cute when he's all serious but it could turn deadly in a second if I said it out loud.'
"Sensei made me promise to look out for his daughters, so that's exactly what I'm going to do." Shinji said as they walked to the car.
"Aren't you a bit young to take care of three girls. Not to mention the eldest girl happens to be the same age as you, how are you suppose you might be able to handle them?" Misato said seriously. "Why don't we bring them to my place and we can handle it together." she suggested. "And just so you know, we'll have to lie about how he died to his daughters, the information of the incident is classified, if Section 2 get a hold that you give away classified information, it's not your head that will be in the platter, it's the three of his daughters' too"
"I can't do that. I'd be intruding you and that's the last thing I want to do, I have kept you too long. I just needed his home phone numbers so I could break them the news even if I have to lie, at least they will know their father died and not abandon them. Besides I want to see if I could go meet them."
"I can do better, I give you a ride." she smiled and open the door and got in. "Come on"
Reluctantly he got in. "Thank you, for everything" he smiled at her as she drove.
"So who are they? and what happened to their mothers?" he said sadly, looking up she could see the tears building up in his eyes. Knowing that he would rather not blink than to let her see him cried she turned her head.
"Well his wife died of extreme chemical contamination she died a couple of months ago." she saw him shook his head. " He has three daughter Hikari, Jui, and Reika. Hikari, age 14, she will be your classmate, very well educated, and never gotten into trouble. Jui, age 12, a bit harder to handle, she still goes to elementary school, but unlike her sisters, she has several mishaps. Reika, age 9, smarter than she looks, and welled beyond her age in maturity." Misato explained.
"It seems that you may have to get some help in your maturity from a 9 year Misato-san." he grinned trying to lighten the mood and she amusingly slap him.
"They'll all be a handful to take care of. I'm not sure if you're up for the job. I could just pay someone to take care of them you know. If that doesn't help, you all could crash my place." she smile but it never reached her eyes.
"No, it'll be fine, besides, with the money I'll be making I can take care of them no problem. I'm just nervous to break the news to them. I mean having no mother or father. I know how it feels, but my is still a live at least and I have taken that for granted, I just wished mind to die. Life is just isn't fair for everyone" Shinji straighten up as they reached their apartment. Looking behind him, he saw Misato's hand on his shoulder, he didn't know whether to ripped her arm off or leave it there as it was giving warmth to his as an encouragement.
"I don't know if I can do it Misato, lie to them like that. And as much as I said confidently about taking care of the three daughters, they'll likely to be taking care of me. I know how to take care of myself and all, but never have I need to look after people. I guess I'm what you call a lone wolf.
"Anyway, Sensei always said that I could take care of myself well, and if one day he had to die, he would be willingly put everything in my name, that was when I was only nine, I thought he was just joking, but now I know what he meant"
"Your'll be fine, I'll go with you." she gave him a warm smile and rest her arm over his shoulder and rang the door bell. 'He a lot taller now when we're closer, just a several more inches and we'll be eye to eye...' her train of thought was cut when the door finally opened just a bit.
"Daddy?" a little girl asked before opening the door farther.
"Iie, but we're...friends of his." Shinji said quietly, offering the little girl a small smile.
Seeing that she was a bit reluctant, Misato cut in "We have some new we wished to talk to you and your sisters about."
"Trust us, we'll not hurt you" Shinji went down a little lower to look at the girl in the eyes.
"Okay" she said slowly and opened the door.
"Reika, who is it? Is father home yet?" a voice called out from the bathroom.
"No, Hik-chan, they're strangers said they're dad's friends" she replied as she led them to the Living room. "Please sit, my sister will be right with you," then another girl came running in. "Jui, you finally came out of your room, I'm glad" she smiled happily and ran to her sister.
"And I'm going back in until daddy come back" Jui glared at Shinji, who would usually meet the glared but coming from the little girl, he backed down.
"Stop that, they're our guess, it's not polite to do such thing." surprisingly, Jui stop, but only to stuck her tongue out at him.
"Put that tongue back in your mouth this instance young lady" another girl came in, and around were aura of authority. "I'm Hikari, those two are Jui, and Reika. I'm sorry if my sisters are a bit rude, but it's been edgy all week, we haven't heard from father for three days. So what can I do for you?" she said brightly, finally looking up at Shinji she almost gasp loudly at his look.
"I don't think this is going to work Shinji" Misato whisper quietly at Shinji as he finally look up from the smallest daughter to Misato and glanced at Hikari.
"What is it Misato?" he said quietly.
"I..." she stop as she heard the loud cough.
"Sorry to interrupt your private conversation, but could we begin already, I have to go back to my room" Jui said angrily.
"Gomen, I have some bad news about your father," he said grimly and was about to begin the story he had made up ever since the ride, but Misato cut in.
"Your father was killed by a devastated explosion during the resent angel attack." Misato put on the straight face and handed the fake reports in while Shinji couldn't even looked at them in the eyes. He never had to do it, all the guys he ever killed had no family relations, that's why they were willing to fight, that's why he had thought his father only had guards that had no family relations against him.
'He purposely wanted me to be a man who destroyed someone's family to destroy me. But he didn't know that the guy would fall to his knee and begged for him life.'
"I don't believe you!!" Jui yelled as tears burst out of her eyes making Shinji want to crawl under some gigantic hole. 'It was his father that took her father away.' The little girl jump out of her seat and ran for the door to her room and slammed it shut and locked herself in.
Shinji was beginning to get out of her seat but Misato stopped him "She will need some time"
Shinji nodded. Turning to Hikari and Reika who seem to be in their own worlds, but he could see their cast down eyes that made his stomach churned.
"So you must be the guardian father had send?" Hikari looked up at Misato.
"well...not exactly," looking at Shinji, and seeing that he was also in his own world, she looked back at Hikari "We'll a bit more Tomorrow, it seem a bit late." looking out the window, she notice the sun had already set. "Crap, I wanted to show you something Shinji but it seems to be a bit late."
"So that's your name Shinji" she looked at the boy and extended her hand, even though she knew it wasn't the time, she was unable to control her blushed he took her hand and shake it.
"Ikari Shinji, and this is Katsuragi Misato" he turned to Misato as she took the girl's hand. "What did you want to show me Misato-san?"
"Around a bit since it's your actual first day here but it seems too late for that. I don't even know if we could get a hotel to stay in my place is out side the city." she looked at her watch again.
"You can stay with us, we have a guess room up stair, and we would be honor if a friend of our father would stay" the smallest girl spoke up finally after the horrid news.
"If you don't think we're intruding we would really appreciated." Shinji gave a small bow.
"I'm sorry but there's only one bed so you'll just have to work it out." Hikari blushed again.[I know in the story there was no bed, but just this once, I just want to have some fun.]
"umm..yeah that'll be fine, I've always sleep on the hard floor anyway, thank you" Shinji replied, a slight tinge of red came on his face.
"Arigato Shinji-kun" Misato said with a blushed.
Turning to the stairs, they begin to head up the stairs.
"This would be your room," Hikari point out, and open it. The space in the room was a bit tight because the bed took up most of the room. "The room opposite this one is mine so, if you need anything just ask. Good night" she gave a sad smile and shut the door.
"Poor girl," Misato whispered softly.
"That an understatement" Shinji sigh. "The other girl were just as upset, but unlike Jui, they would never show it. They are too closed up and polite to do it." Putting his bag carefully and took out his sword he stared at it for a while until a rustle of clothes. "You could have asked me to get out before taking your clothes of ya know." he said with a blush but didn't turn and placed his sword on the table.
"Why would I want to do that?" she said amusingly, "Besides, I didn't totally got naked, I just needed to change my clothes."
"Well for all you know I could be a perverted freak who would pounce on you when I get a chance." Taking out his own clothes and turned for her replied.
"Because I know you won't" she answered.
"You have no idea, who you're dealing with Katsuragi Misato" he said darkly that send chills down her back and stepped outside the hall and changed before going back into the room.
As he laid on his towel, Shinji took out several of his scrolls out and Misato on the bed went over some paper. But her body was making her lose her concentration. 'Beer...beer...beer..'
"If you wanted beer that badly why don't you just go and get some Misato- san." Shinji said, never taking his eyes from the scrolls.
"Did I said that out loud" she got out from the bed and put her coat over her pajamas.
"You have been repeating it for about thirty minutes now, I'm not sure why you haven't notice." he laid on his back, after placing his scroll back in it's holder and put it back in his bag.
"Why are you such a smart ass?"she got off the bed and went to the door and glance down at him.
"I was always taught that no one is as smart as he or she thinks, so I never considered myself to be a smart ass." he grinned up at her before shutting his eyes.
'He can be a real pain when he wants to be, but most of the time, the pain is often the side of him that I seem to be attracted to the most.' shaking her head quickly from the thought she open the door. "Whatever, I'll be right back with something to eat and MY beer"
"Arigato" he said softly as if he had be up from days.
~~~~~~ 12 minutes later.
"Don't you think you drinking too many of them Misato-san?" Shinji looked at the maniac woman on the bed that seems to be in her own world, talking non-sense.
"See, that's why I like you Shinji-kun. Even though you can be a killer one moment, you have always have a heart. I like that in a man. Do you want to kiss me?" She bend down to give him a look of the breast.
"Misato-san, put them away, I don't need this now, and as for your kiss, you know I wouldn't take advantage of you when you're like this, not to mention smell of beer in your mouth is making me want to throw up, in a good way" he stepped back, taking the beer bottle from her. "Not that I'm not flattered that a woman like you want to kiss me and all, but I just think it's a bit fast " seeing the clueless look on her face, he know smiled "Exactly, and go to sleep."
"Hai hai, otou-san." she smiled at him. With exhaustion he collapsed on the floor. It had been only 20 minutes and she had drank herself crazy, and tried to get him to looked down her pajamas a couple of time. He knew she was just trying get to him so he never took notice of it, and tried to get her to stop. Finally after doing so, he tossed a bottle in the garbage bag and went to sleep in the floor.
"What a hectic day"
~~~~~~~
Sorry about all the grammars and spelling mistakes, I didn't think I was going to put this up but what the hell. I don't know when the next chapter is coming, but if you want you can review it.
Warning, Shinji is a player and to good to fit his actual character. Though I will make him more to those that suggest the changes.
AU The Power within the Child ~~~~~ The Birth and the First Step
Bustle, rushing, running, yelling sounds were made as the doctor and nurses trying to get the soon to be mother ready to have her newborn. The quiet night was disturbed by the mother's scream.
"Hang on Yui" Gendo whisper to his wife as she took a hold of his hand and he whimper from her grip.
"Just one more push, Mrs. Ikari, almost there" the doctor said to her and she brightens as she heard the baby cried, "It's a boy" the doctor whispers quietly but suddenly yelp as he felt the boy tried to kick out of his hold but quiet down as he was brought to his mother's arm. "He's going to be a hell of a fighter when he grows up I tell ya that"
"Wonders where it came it from?" Yui whispers amusingly as she frown at her husband.
"It wasn't me who started the fight." he lightly kiss her, and took his son in his arms "Ikari Shinji, my son"
"A hard concept is it not?" Fuyutsuki asked as he stepped through the door.
"Very, but he will be great" Gendo frowned and gave a small smile as he lift his son over his head not caring if the child would enjoy it. Almost to himself, "I'll make sure of that".
~~~~~~ 10 years later
"Ikari, concentrate, you must focus your thoughts or you'll never master it and if you can't do that, you will never defeat me or your enemies"
'It's has been far too long have I seen father who suddenly decided that I was no use to him. After mother had died it had been hard for us both but mostly father just took it upon himself to blame me. As selfish as his thoughts were it was the truth. I was surely to be blame for it, some how.'
"Hai sensei" the boy replied as he went into another serious of attack. 'Too much is on my mind, it's like I'm going to blow if I don't step back, turn and start retreating.' Memories and photo images flashes through his head as he swung the sword down hard in desperation to get rid of the murdering headache. Hearing the grunt from his forty-five year old sensei, he immediately grinned, and evade to the side of his teacher in the blink of an eye, and struck him in the rip and kicked his leg from under him. The hard thud sound made him grin even wider.
"That was a sheep hit" his sensei commented as Shinji helped him up.
"What do you expect from a ten year old sensei" Shinji replied as he brought out a bottle of water for his teacher/ guardian. "Plus you're old as a hill" he laughed as his teacher choked on the water he was drinking.
"Hmmph, Mark Twain once said 'Whatever a man's age may be he can reduce it several years by putting a bright- color flower in his buttonhole.'" he smirk as his student was trying to think what it meant.
Finally, not knowing what it had to do with this Shinji replied "But didn't Twain wrote 'The Adventure of Huckleberry Finn', now that book was as wacky as that quote."
"Since when did you start reading American text and stop reading the scrolls I have provided you" his teacher glared at him, making child feel suddenly sick again.
"Well I needed a break from those old things...." he stop suddenly from the frown on his teacher's face "I mean, I just want to read some other this you have in your library. What's the use of having three different languages if you can't use it right?" he smile seeing his teacher giving in.
"Fine, as long as you study those scrolls I gave you" his teacher walked to the porch finally got his normal breathing back.
"Oh sensei, I need a favor." Shinji whisper, sounding serious.
"What is it?"
"The languages you taught me are fine and all but I need another one to go with German, English" Shinji frowns.
"Okay, what aaabout..." he trailed "French, or Italian, you can pick a lot of chicks that way" he winked to Shinji who smirk.
"Just like you to think of something like that" Shinji replied in amusement, but frown as he looks up at the dark sky. In the county these times of years the stars were brighter than ever due to the cause of the Second Impact. The why, and how, was left to the scientist to figure out, not a kid like him. 'No, not for a man like me' Shinji though grimly but there was irony in his though [Note: I don't know if that can happens to anyone else].
"So what do you need Shinji?" his teacher turned to him, his eyes were as caring as his mother's but their were many differences. Behind those eyes he could tell that the man was hiding something from him, a secrete that he would protect with his life if it would come to it. So far he only know that he has a lot to do with it and that he would find out when the time comes, and to get the answer to the when and what would be next to impossible.
"Ancient text" Shinji whispered quietly, not sure if his teacher hear it but with that big ear of his, he probably did.
"Ya sure, it's going to be tough, harder than German,"
Just the though he needed, Shinji though, hours and hours, both day and night of study and learning how to speak that crazy language, but in the end he was able to not only to get the gasp of it like his sensei but lengthen his knowledge to it and master it.
"But I'll be fine sensei, have I ever given up on something before?"
"Well there's that science club you thought you would be great at, but you quit a week after"
"That's a different story, I only did it because father was a scientist and thankfully I can now say, I hate science and scientist."
"Your mother was a scientist, a great one at that" his sensei turn to look at the stars.
"Yeah I know," Shinji whisper quietly "But I don't think she hates me like father does"
"Your father doesn't hate you Shinji, and I'm sorry to bring up your mother into this"
"No, it's fine." Shinji stared darkly at the crescent moon. "I just want her to be proud of me"
"And she is Shinji, even if your not a great scientist like that lady who came up with MAGI the super computer, as long as you don't doubt yourself you'll be fine"
"I never doubted myself until father left" he glared at the stars, making a fist. "That was the first day that I cried other than the day mother died. And I promise myself never to cried again."
"Everyone needs to cried once in a while, even a man as old as me cried for no reason" his sensei said amusingly.
"That's because a man like you are either really old or they're crazy" Shinji laugh as his teacher playfully mess with his already mess up hair.
"Your hair is getting longer and longer, why don't you get that bang cut off." his teacher frown, look at the small child's hair. The back was evened and well tamed, but the top was pointing every where and the bangs were covering his eyes a bit.
"I thought it would look cool. Besides the ladies seem to think so." Shinji smirk and getting up to open the door. "That's all that matters right?"
"You have grown to be a master, Shinji, and I'm proud of you, now all you need is your servant"his sensei looked at him with pride.
"I have learned from the best sensei"
"hmm, your ancient study with me will be on Sunday from now on, get a good night sleep Shinji" his teacher smiled at him.
Returning it with a small one he replied, "Good night sensei" and turned in.
~~~~~~~ 2015 AD
"Due to the special emergency all line are currently unavailable..."
"Great, just great!!" Shinji slammed the phone down hard hoping that the machine would burst from the other end of the line. With a force he brought down his sword and slice the phone in halves. "Stupid machines, I rather sent a falcon with a message than a phone, at least they're more reliable."
Looking at his watch. "Doesn't everyone know it's rude to make someone wait." Looking at the photo like post card, seeing the amazingly young middle age woman pose. "She thinks too much of her body, such an obsession that is not easy to get rid of"
Taking his eyes off the post card for a bit he glances up to she a girl with a school uniform with blue hair and what seems to be red eyes. Suddenly the birds seems to have been frighten either by the girl or him, it flew from the telephone pole and the next thing he know she was gone. Unexpectedly there was an earthquake or what seems to be, he looked up seeing the air crafts beginning to back away from something big, his heart was beginning to beat faster and harder, whether it's from wanting to get out of there or the want to take out his sword and give that thing a piece of his mind for scaring the shit out of him. The fire arms and missiles weren't doing anything for it, so he was sure taking out his sword wouldn't do anything either.
"What the hell is that?"
"An angel" suddenly a voice came behind him.
"You know I could have cut your head off for sneaking behind me, I notice you a mile away so you can't be a Battousai." turning to meet her impassive stare, "so who the hell are you?"
Looking up and down his profile, Misato was definitely surprise that the boy was taller than his father had said and a bit toned for his age, and the sword he held to his side looked rather impressive. The hair was a bit messy but amazingly looked nice and the bang just cover his blue intense eyes a bit. All and all he looked rather handsome for someone that young.
"You have 10 more seconds to replied before start slicing" he grinned darkly at the horror look on the dark/purple like hair woman and withdraw his sword from its' sheath.
"I..ahh...I'm...ahh...Katsuragi Misato" she took a step back to her car.
Placing his sword back into in bag. "Nice to meet you Miss Katsuragi, what is it..." his sentence was shut out as a giant foot came down next to him.
"Later, we got to get out of here." Misato got into her car followed by Shinji.
As the car evades the stomping feet of the monster, Shinji never felt that kind of a rush.
"This is even better than the 2010 Tournament, what a rush?" Shinji grinned
"So you saw that huh? I would have thought you were a bit young to see such a bloody Tournament such as that" Misato replied not taking her eyes off the wheel for a second and evade another step.
"What do you mean? I was in it" he glared at her for thinking he was too young
"WHAT?" Misato stopped as they were far enough from the Angel.
"Well, I don't look like I used to, but I was the guy with the blue cloak and the hood " seeing the stunned look, "sensei was sick, even though I know he was faking it, sensei wanted me to get a hang of real fight" shaking his head, "it wasn't enough that the second impact killed more than a quarter of people on earth we must kill each other for entertainment. But the money was good too, he wanted me to save it for college. So what are we waiting for?"
"That!" seeing that the aircraft were backing away again, Shinji felt a bad premonition coming.
"Hit the deck!" Shinji saw it was coming. N2. Huge blast that send the car flipping off the rode. They were far away enough for the Angel but not from N2.
Silence.
"Are you okay Miss Katsuragi?"
"Iie, just Misato is fine, and I'm fine" Taking off her sunglasses, which he didn't notice she had on before.
'Probably she had it on when they got in the car, or I was just busy staring at her...' shaking his head he tried to think off something else.
"Arigato Misato-san"
"I'm glad we've finally met Ikari Shinji, your father mention much of you. Wanta help me with the car?" she pointed to the car that was flipped to the side.
"Ohh, sure" That first statement struck him like a brick, finally realizing what he was asked to do he walked to the car's side and push it back on it's four wheels with almost an ease, 'It help to have a gym in your house. Iie, not my house, sensei's house' he make a fist but relaxed as Misato came over.
"Thanks, ready?"she step into the wrecked up car and start it up as Shinji got in.
Looking out the window thinking to himself what he was doing here and what his father want from him, Shinji hadn't notice Misato was on the phone with someone, and he didn't care. He just want to get there, hear what his father wants, tell him to fuck himself and just leave. 'Oh don't forget the punch in the face before leaving' with that he turned to the woman who seems to have a lot on her mind, and suddenly something caught his eyes and he looked back. There were at least ten car battery pack, probably stolen.
"umm, Misato-san, are you sure you can take those?" he gestured to the back.
"Ahhaa, never mind about that. It's an emergency and we need that car working right now, right? Besides I'm a government official after all, so everything's going to be perfectly fine, right?"
"I don't think anyone would buy that. Beside, are you suppose to use your power for such things as car battery pack."Shinji replied grimly
"Don't get snotty. You're not as cute as I thought you were."
"So you thought I was cute, such a compliment from a woman as beautiful as you is well taken. I'm surprise your not already taken Misato-san"Shinji said amusingly.
"A charmer I see, I'm going to be in trouble I can tell" she replied flashing him a smile that he smirk.
'Trying to get me to do her dark deeds with that smile will not work'
"Don't you think flirting with a fourteen years old is just sick?" he grinned brightly at her.
"Gomen, I forgotten your just a kid after all" she smiled again
"So are you. I would have think a woman as beautiful as you are would have a capability of being mature."
"What are you implying?" Misato glared at him
"I'm implying that you're even more beautiful when you're angry." he smiled when she took the bait.
"Thank you"she smile. 'Ohh yeah, a hell of a charmer for sure' she blushed, her face began to heat up when she notice he was staring intensely at her. "n..nani?"
"Just wondering where we going and if you could stop the blushing and drive a bit faster it would be greatly appreciated" he grinned again as she floored it and gave him another glared. "YEAHHH!"
~~~~~~ "The gates are now closing, please stand clear...."
"NERV?" Shinji asked
"Yes, it's a special organization under the control of UN."
"I never thought the United Nation would have something as big as this hidden from people"
"It's not as well hidden as we would like."
"So this is where my father hid his ass all these years?" he grind his teeth
"Yes, haha, I never heard anyone called Commander Ikari ass before" Misato said amusingly.
Shinji didn't replied as he took out his sword to see if it was ready for his father's blood.
"What are you going to do with that? You know weapons are not allow in here?"she said softly as the car got on the elevator.
"Oh, don't worry about the guards, they try to stop me, they'll join the ship to hell with father."he glared at her daring her to say something about, or stop him.
"Do you know what he does?"
"From the way you said his name it seems that he is well respected, and the title Commander are not given to common scientist. Sensei said his work was important to the human race." Shinji said softly, and put his sword back in the bag, 'I guess killing him was out of the question'
"I forgot to ask, didn't your father gave you an ID card?"
"Hai.." he gave her the paper which said 'TO:Shinji Ikari Come! Gendo Ikari.'
"Here read this"Misato handed him a hand book.
"Welcome to NERV. For Your Eyes Only"
"Father's agency, am I going to work for him too?" he didn't need a replied for that question. "He wouldn't ask me to come if he didn't needed me"
"It looks like you don't get a long with your father"
"That's an understatement, it takes a lot to get me angry, but father just struck the last nerve, now I just want to jam my sword down his esophagus."
"It's not healthy to be that angry" she replied tenderly and lied back on her seat.
"It's not healthy to be as beautiful as you are either, and you still do" he said amusingly as she blushed
"Okay, you gotta stop that, if you mention that again I might think you're leading me on Shiji-kun"
"Think whatever you wish Misato..."he stopped in the middle of his sentence as they reach the GEO-Front. "Awsome!"
"Hai hai, it's really amazing isn't it. This is our secret base, NERV HQ. This is the key to rebuild our world a fortress for all mankind."
"You have such a way with words Misato-san" he grinned.
Finally making to the entry gate, Misato took out the map and they begin finding their way around.
"We're lost aren't we?" Shinji grinned at the woman as she scratch her as if that would give her a clue to what she was doing.
"Don't start with me smart ass. Now isn't this the right way?" the door open and the air was release blowing up her skirt a bit.
"Thank you Misato-san, you have just made my day" seeing that she blush she knew what he was talking about.
"Because of these things I hate wearing skirt around here." she flatten her skirt. "Even if I like to"
"I'm guessing you always wanted people to see your favorite red underwear that hung tightly to you beautiful bottom." he laughed as she blushed even more.
"Stop teasing me, now we have to find Ritsuko" still blushing she reflected her thought about the boy who seemingly had not stop teasing her and complimenting her ever since they have met. 'We are going to get a long just fine, I just hope he doesn't get to angry when his father tell him what he was here to do.'
"well it's going to be hell to find a person in this huge place."
"I just have to called her on the announcement, be right back" Misato said with a small smile and walked to the desk.
'That is one wacky woman, I just hope I don't have to work with her over anything, or even worst live with her. Surely father will not want me to live with him, that will just be too easy and a death wish.' he grinned darkly.
"Ready? she said she'll meet us at the elevator. Come on"
"Why are we wasting her time Misato, couldn't we just ask someone for the directions? Or is it your pride you'll be hurting to let people know we're lost?" he grinned even more brightly as she fume.
"hmmph, I will not answer either of those questions"
"You just answered me Misato-san" he chuckled and walked head of her.
Ding, the elevator door opened and he stared at the blonde woman with lab coat over her swimming suit that hung nicely to her figure. Even though he was about several inches shorter than her which was pretty tall for his age, he was still able to see her eyes. The dark eyes looked straight into his dark blue and he almost back down but held her eyes. The eyes that was at the moment question his authority over her, the eyes that he believe to have once hated something every much about him or something about him. He could tell she knew who he was. With a slight bow to the woman, he stepped aside and extended his hand for her to take.
"It's a pleasure to have finally meet you once again Dr. Ritsuko Akagi, my sensei have spoken greatly about you and your mother." he offered her a small smile and notice the tinge of sadness in her eyes as he mention her mother.
"Thank you, and you must be Ikari Shinji, your father mentioned something about you but never said that you look as handsome as you are."she said amazingly and blush suddenly after she heard what she had said and quickly covered her mouth.
"He's only fourteen Ritsu, don't forget it" Misato glared at her friend.
"Gomen, shall we?"Ritsuko said totally forgotten the fact that they had just wasted her time from her work and to yelled at Misato for forgetting her way around.
"Hai" the two replied as they followed her
While they were beginning to talk about what he had not bother with, Shinji went on reading the hand book which he was just finishing up. Next he heard something about battle stations, 'Is there an invasion? Great just my first day here and they had to start something.' After the boat ride they walked into the dark room. 'A fine time to play hide and seek, well just finished the hand book so we can play I guess' he took out his sword and took a stands. 'I love hide and seek' he smirk.
Suddenly the light was turned back on and the three gasp, Shinji gasp from the big ugly robot face, and they were frighten by the single blade, samurai style sword that gave them the impression he didn't like to be in the dark and by the look of the sword they didn't want to know how sharp it is.
"A giant robot?, well that's not in the hand book" putting his sword back in the bag.
"Ii..Iie, you won't find it in the manual. This Man's ultimate-humanoid fighting machine, the first model of the synthetic life form Evangelion, Unit 0. Build here as Man's last hope"Ritsuko replied
"Is this what father been working on?" Shinji walked over to touch it, the armor was as cold as the voice that came next.
"Correct."the rage came quickly as he open his bag once again but before he could take it out four guards were on him. "Get the sword away from him"his father ordered.
"You think it's that simple" Shinji laughed at his father's ignorant. 'You'll all pay for that with you lives.' with that he threw both of the men that grabbed his arm over his shoulders, and snap their arm like twigs. The scream of pain echo. "Never EVER, touch me without my consent." the other two dropped his bag 'Big mistake'. With rag he jumped and spin kick one of the guard as he was taking out his gun. SNAP. His neck was limped, twisted to the side. 'Broken neck is not the way go.' he thought darkly. The other guard was now as frightened as Misato and Ritsuko, but his father didn't say anything about stopping. 'So it's a test I see.'
"So your the one that dropped my bag eh?" Shinji smirk as the man tried to show the strict face to him, but didn't replied. Shinji laughed. "Father, these monkeys worked for you?"no replied "It seems that you life doesn't worth the crap to father, how shall I kill you"he glared at the man as the man took off his face mask. 'well I didn't expected this' a gasp came from his lips.
"I'm sorry Shinji, it has always been planned this way, it was your father that hired me to teach you, and raised you to be what you are now, please forgive me" he begged.
Glaring angery at his father. "You're trying to get me kill my own teacher, that just low." looking down at the man "What are you doing here as a guard, I thought you went home?" he glared down at the man.
"I did and my mission will be over after today and I will see my daughters again, Commander Ikari didn't say you were going to start killing us even though I knew you will, I'm just here to stop you."
"I hope these men didn't have a family"
"No they don't"
Shinji dropped his fight face, and gave the man a small smirk." Get out of here."
"Hai.." as he was getting up, Shinji saw his father brought the gun out from his pocket, and the next thing he knew there was a shot.
Everything was in a slow motion. "LOOOK OOUTT"
Thud. The man lied still, blood began seeping through him. Shinji ran to his side. "Hey, you'll be okay alright, just hang in there, everything will be fine, just tell me what you need"
"You a liar, but I need a favor," the man cough, blood.
"We're going to need a doctor here," he look to Misato who looked down with Ritsuko. 'He's not going to last long at all', "What do you need sensei?" the tears were about to drop but he wipe it away
"Promise..me..to pro..protect my da...daughters.."stilled.
"Great, just great, I didn't know you had daughters, since when did you have a daughter. That's all I needed daughters of my own" he said angrily "What are you, stupid?" he looked up at his father "You don't kill a man who has a family to take care of and not only that he happens to be my only family, you know I will come after you next. What a dumb ass, now I have three people to take care of." glaring at his father who smirk at him "this is the best damn day of my life" he wipe another tear away.
"It only gets better, theirs an angel up there destroying the city that his daughters lives, to protect you know what you have to do." With the final cold stare his father left.
"Oh when I get my hand on that bastard..."he turned to Dr. Akagi "Get the EVA ready" he whispered sounding more confident than he actually felt.
"Hai"Ritsuko replied surprise that he actually took the bait.
He stared coldly at Misato, but knew that she had no idea, but went with whatever her commander said.
Cooling process completed, Cage now in position for docking, Signal plug terminator has been ejected.
"Roger. Inserting entry plug, plug fixed in place. Connecting Unit 01"
"Filling entry plug"
"So this is LCL"Shinji said over the intercom
"Hai" a woman said, who he don't know and could care less. "Connecting secondary contacts. A-10 nerve connection, normal. Configure the language logic interface for Japanese. All primary contacts established. Performance nominal. Bi-directional circuits are open. Synchronization ratio at 41.3%. Harmonics are all normal, no disturbances identified."
"Prepare to launch"
The rest came a blur to Shinji as the next moment he knew he was on surface again. 'What an ugly mother fucker'
"Just concentrate on the walking right now Shinji" Ritsuko said over the intercom.
"Hai." the Unit 01 took a step and then another, but didn't complete it and fell. "A great way to make an ass of myself." seeing the chance the Angel jumped to it and tried to grabbed his face.
"Didn't you know it's rude to stick your hand in front of someone's face."Shinji grid his teeth and immediately jumped to his feet and took the angel's arm. "I teach you some manners because of that!" with a hard pull, Unit 01 pull the angel's face down to his knee. And ripped it's arm off.
"Sempai, something is wrong, Shinji ratio are increasing just a bit odd."
"What is it now?"
"89.5% and increasing"
"Probably because he's pissed."
"Shinji, you have to calmed down, getting angry will not help anyone." Ritsuko said over the intercom
"She right Shinji-kun"Misato added.
"Why should I? This is what father wishes, and I shall deliver it to him" Shinji said with a glare as he ripped another arm off. With a leap he jump into the air ready to step on it like a bug that it is but only to meet with the octagonal shape shield and he jump of. With a starting running he met the shield with a punch that seem to be enough to break it, but was surprise as the blast that seem to came from it's eyes."What the hell was that?" he said to himself as his face began to really hurt as much as the rest of his body.
"Misato, give me a damn weapon would ya?" he yelled furiously, 'fighting with bare hands against something like this is just stupid.'
"There none that is close to you, you'll have to improvise" she told him grimly
"Improvise my ass." with that the kicked the angel down and tackle it hard. Seeing it's Shinji pound with rage on it's core until the angel climb up on his face. "I'm not like that gayas.."it came a surprise to him. The noise and the flash. "Oh great!"
~~~~~ "Oh god the headache" Shinji groan as he sat up.
"So how are you doing to Mr. Ikari?" a old nurse came in with a small smile. "You've been out for 45 hours"
"45 hours?, what's today?" Shinji looked around, it seem that he was brought to the hospital.
"Here are your clothes, and it's Tuesday. Misato wishes to see you when you're ready." she smile again and left.
"I'm guessing I could do that" seeing that she had left Shinji got out of the hospital mock and into his clothes. Combing his hair with his hand "I need a shower."
"Shinji!!" suddenly he felt a pair of arm around him and a pair of breast in his face.
'Smell kinda nice' Shaking his head, "It's kinda hard to breath when your breast is in my face Misato-san, even though it does feel nice and all" he looked up with a smile.
"hehe, how are you feeling?" Misato blushed at the comment
"I'm okay, I just have a lot of this to do, and I need your help" Shinji frown, taking out his cell phone. But didn't dial any numbers yet."Ever since I have lived with him I never knew he had daughters, and he never said anything about his personal life. And I was taught to never look into someone else's personal life."
"what do you need?" she asked with a smile 'he kinda looked cute when he's all serious but it could turn deadly in a second if I said it out loud.'
"Sensei made me promise to look out for his daughters, so that's exactly what I'm going to do." Shinji said as they walked to the car.
"Aren't you a bit young to take care of three girls. Not to mention the eldest girl happens to be the same age as you, how are you suppose you might be able to handle them?" Misato said seriously. "Why don't we bring them to my place and we can handle it together." she suggested. "And just so you know, we'll have to lie about how he died to his daughters, the information of the incident is classified, if Section 2 get a hold that you give away classified information, it's not your head that will be in the platter, it's the three of his daughters' too"
"I can't do that. I'd be intruding you and that's the last thing I want to do, I have kept you too long. I just needed his home phone numbers so I could break them the news even if I have to lie, at least they will know their father died and not abandon them. Besides I want to see if I could go meet them."
"I can do better, I give you a ride." she smiled and open the door and got in. "Come on"
Reluctantly he got in. "Thank you, for everything" he smiled at her as she drove.
"So who are they? and what happened to their mothers?" he said sadly, looking up she could see the tears building up in his eyes. Knowing that he would rather not blink than to let her see him cried she turned her head.
"Well his wife died of extreme chemical contamination she died a couple of months ago." she saw him shook his head. " He has three daughter Hikari, Jui, and Reika. Hikari, age 14, she will be your classmate, very well educated, and never gotten into trouble. Jui, age 12, a bit harder to handle, she still goes to elementary school, but unlike her sisters, she has several mishaps. Reika, age 9, smarter than she looks, and welled beyond her age in maturity." Misato explained.
"It seems that you may have to get some help in your maturity from a 9 year Misato-san." he grinned trying to lighten the mood and she amusingly slap him.
"They'll all be a handful to take care of. I'm not sure if you're up for the job. I could just pay someone to take care of them you know. If that doesn't help, you all could crash my place." she smile but it never reached her eyes.
"No, it'll be fine, besides, with the money I'll be making I can take care of them no problem. I'm just nervous to break the news to them. I mean having no mother or father. I know how it feels, but my is still a live at least and I have taken that for granted, I just wished mind to die. Life is just isn't fair for everyone" Shinji straighten up as they reached their apartment. Looking behind him, he saw Misato's hand on his shoulder, he didn't know whether to ripped her arm off or leave it there as it was giving warmth to his as an encouragement.
"I don't know if I can do it Misato, lie to them like that. And as much as I said confidently about taking care of the three daughters, they'll likely to be taking care of me. I know how to take care of myself and all, but never have I need to look after people. I guess I'm what you call a lone wolf.
"Anyway, Sensei always said that I could take care of myself well, and if one day he had to die, he would be willingly put everything in my name, that was when I was only nine, I thought he was just joking, but now I know what he meant"
"Your'll be fine, I'll go with you." she gave him a warm smile and rest her arm over his shoulder and rang the door bell. 'He a lot taller now when we're closer, just a several more inches and we'll be eye to eye...' her train of thought was cut when the door finally opened just a bit.
"Daddy?" a little girl asked before opening the door farther.
"Iie, but we're...friends of his." Shinji said quietly, offering the little girl a small smile.
Seeing that she was a bit reluctant, Misato cut in "We have some new we wished to talk to you and your sisters about."
"Trust us, we'll not hurt you" Shinji went down a little lower to look at the girl in the eyes.
"Okay" she said slowly and opened the door.
"Reika, who is it? Is father home yet?" a voice called out from the bathroom.
"No, Hik-chan, they're strangers said they're dad's friends" she replied as she led them to the Living room. "Please sit, my sister will be right with you," then another girl came running in. "Jui, you finally came out of your room, I'm glad" she smiled happily and ran to her sister.
"And I'm going back in until daddy come back" Jui glared at Shinji, who would usually meet the glared but coming from the little girl, he backed down.
"Stop that, they're our guess, it's not polite to do such thing." surprisingly, Jui stop, but only to stuck her tongue out at him.
"Put that tongue back in your mouth this instance young lady" another girl came in, and around were aura of authority. "I'm Hikari, those two are Jui, and Reika. I'm sorry if my sisters are a bit rude, but it's been edgy all week, we haven't heard from father for three days. So what can I do for you?" she said brightly, finally looking up at Shinji she almost gasp loudly at his look.
"I don't think this is going to work Shinji" Misato whisper quietly at Shinji as he finally look up from the smallest daughter to Misato and glanced at Hikari.
"What is it Misato?" he said quietly.
"I..." she stop as she heard the loud cough.
"Sorry to interrupt your private conversation, but could we begin already, I have to go back to my room" Jui said angrily.
"Gomen, I have some bad news about your father," he said grimly and was about to begin the story he had made up ever since the ride, but Misato cut in.
"Your father was killed by a devastated explosion during the resent angel attack." Misato put on the straight face and handed the fake reports in while Shinji couldn't even looked at them in the eyes. He never had to do it, all the guys he ever killed had no family relations, that's why they were willing to fight, that's why he had thought his father only had guards that had no family relations against him.
'He purposely wanted me to be a man who destroyed someone's family to destroy me. But he didn't know that the guy would fall to his knee and begged for him life.'
"I don't believe you!!" Jui yelled as tears burst out of her eyes making Shinji want to crawl under some gigantic hole. 'It was his father that took her father away.' The little girl jump out of her seat and ran for the door to her room and slammed it shut and locked herself in.
Shinji was beginning to get out of her seat but Misato stopped him "She will need some time"
Shinji nodded. Turning to Hikari and Reika who seem to be in their own worlds, but he could see their cast down eyes that made his stomach churned.
"So you must be the guardian father had send?" Hikari looked up at Misato.
"well...not exactly," looking at Shinji, and seeing that he was also in his own world, she looked back at Hikari "We'll a bit more Tomorrow, it seem a bit late." looking out the window, she notice the sun had already set. "Crap, I wanted to show you something Shinji but it seems to be a bit late."
"So that's your name Shinji" she looked at the boy and extended her hand, even though she knew it wasn't the time, she was unable to control her blushed he took her hand and shake it.
"Ikari Shinji, and this is Katsuragi Misato" he turned to Misato as she took the girl's hand. "What did you want to show me Misato-san?"
"Around a bit since it's your actual first day here but it seems too late for that. I don't even know if we could get a hotel to stay in my place is out side the city." she looked at her watch again.
"You can stay with us, we have a guess room up stair, and we would be honor if a friend of our father would stay" the smallest girl spoke up finally after the horrid news.
"If you don't think we're intruding we would really appreciated." Shinji gave a small bow.
"I'm sorry but there's only one bed so you'll just have to work it out." Hikari blushed again.[I know in the story there was no bed, but just this once, I just want to have some fun.]
"umm..yeah that'll be fine, I've always sleep on the hard floor anyway, thank you" Shinji replied, a slight tinge of red came on his face.
"Arigato Shinji-kun" Misato said with a blushed.
Turning to the stairs, they begin to head up the stairs.
"This would be your room," Hikari point out, and open it. The space in the room was a bit tight because the bed took up most of the room. "The room opposite this one is mine so, if you need anything just ask. Good night" she gave a sad smile and shut the door.
"Poor girl," Misato whispered softly.
"That an understatement" Shinji sigh. "The other girl were just as upset, but unlike Jui, they would never show it. They are too closed up and polite to do it." Putting his bag carefully and took out his sword he stared at it for a while until a rustle of clothes. "You could have asked me to get out before taking your clothes of ya know." he said with a blush but didn't turn and placed his sword on the table.
"Why would I want to do that?" she said amusingly, "Besides, I didn't totally got naked, I just needed to change my clothes."
"Well for all you know I could be a perverted freak who would pounce on you when I get a chance." Taking out his own clothes and turned for her replied.
"Because I know you won't" she answered.
"You have no idea, who you're dealing with Katsuragi Misato" he said darkly that send chills down her back and stepped outside the hall and changed before going back into the room.
As he laid on his towel, Shinji took out several of his scrolls out and Misato on the bed went over some paper. But her body was making her lose her concentration. 'Beer...beer...beer..'
"If you wanted beer that badly why don't you just go and get some Misato- san." Shinji said, never taking his eyes from the scrolls.
"Did I said that out loud" she got out from the bed and put her coat over her pajamas.
"You have been repeating it for about thirty minutes now, I'm not sure why you haven't notice." he laid on his back, after placing his scroll back in it's holder and put it back in his bag.
"Why are you such a smart ass?"she got off the bed and went to the door and glance down at him.
"I was always taught that no one is as smart as he or she thinks, so I never considered myself to be a smart ass." he grinned up at her before shutting his eyes.
'He can be a real pain when he wants to be, but most of the time, the pain is often the side of him that I seem to be attracted to the most.' shaking her head quickly from the thought she open the door. "Whatever, I'll be right back with something to eat and MY beer"
"Arigato" he said softly as if he had be up from days.
~~~~~~ 12 minutes later.
"Don't you think you drinking too many of them Misato-san?" Shinji looked at the maniac woman on the bed that seems to be in her own world, talking non-sense.
"See, that's why I like you Shinji-kun. Even though you can be a killer one moment, you have always have a heart. I like that in a man. Do you want to kiss me?" She bend down to give him a look of the breast.
"Misato-san, put them away, I don't need this now, and as for your kiss, you know I wouldn't take advantage of you when you're like this, not to mention smell of beer in your mouth is making me want to throw up, in a good way" he stepped back, taking the beer bottle from her. "Not that I'm not flattered that a woman like you want to kiss me and all, but I just think it's a bit fast " seeing the clueless look on her face, he know smiled "Exactly, and go to sleep."
"Hai hai, otou-san." she smiled at him. With exhaustion he collapsed on the floor. It had been only 20 minutes and she had drank herself crazy, and tried to get him to looked down her pajamas a couple of time. He knew she was just trying get to him so he never took notice of it, and tried to get her to stop. Finally after doing so, he tossed a bottle in the garbage bag and went to sleep in the floor.
"What a hectic day"
