Argon Genesis: Evangelion
Disclaimer: I don't own Evangelion or anything else I make reference to in my story, I didn't ever own it, I probably never will own it and I have never ever pretended to own it.
This is my first shot at a fanfic so.. ah.. yea.
Anyway, regardless:
Chapter 1: When you go down to the woods today.
Ever since Kaji's death, or disappearance at least, shortly after Zurel's defeat Shinji took up the task of watering Kaji's melon garden. It happened that he was down there after a miserable day of sync tests where, after Ritsko announced Asuka's lowering ratio, Asuka decided arbitrarily that it was Shinji's fault. This let to a major verbal and minor physical beating. So here was Shinji, trying to get his mind off his rather irate roommate and the suffering she caused. It also happened that Shinji was digging up weeds which had taken root since his last visit.
*Clunk*
The shovel had hit something. Shinji sighed and began digging whatever it was, probably a rock, out. He was rather surprised when what he uncovered was definitely not a rock, made of wood and metal and looked remarkably like a wooden chest. This was, of course, because it was a wooden chest.
Shinji: What?!? Who owns this? Hmm. Must have been Kaji's. I'd better not disturb it then.
Shinji reburied the chest, it was pretty small so this wasn't too hard and returned to weeding. However curiosity finally overrode his adamantinum conscience and he dug it out again. He smashed the lock and threw the lid open, a small note sat on the top of a leather bound book. The note read:
To Shinji, from Kaji
I am writing this letter because I believe I am soon going to be executed and I don't think NERV assassins give you last requests, oh well, it was fun. I was planning to give this to you myself but I know I have little time before my murderer comes. I suggest you study this book well, it's contents will probably come in handy someday soon and, frankly, your life could be a bit more interesting. I hope you enjoy it.
Kaji.
Shinji, feeling very bad right now as the memories of Kaji's last message to Misato and the breakdown that she had suffered for a time after came to mind. Doing all to keep himself from crying Shinji took the book, the only other item in the chest, reburied the chest and trudged home, he would not look in the book until arriving home and putting on his SDAT player and retreating to his room.
***
It was now late afternoon and Shinji had quite forgotten to cook dinner, he was busy staring at the cover of the leather bound book. No, it was not a compilation of all the dirty magazines that Kaji had read in his life, it was also not a book on gardening. The cover bore a golden pentagram within a circle and the title: Encyclopaedia Arcana: The ultimate guide to magery.
Shinji, who had encountered many things in his life including giant biomechanical robots that only a wimpy kid could pilot had only one thought running through his mind, Kaji was a wizard?!? It would explain a lot.
Jus then Asuka began screeching like the demon girl Toji and Kensuke portrayed her as.
Asuka: Shinji Dumkopf! Where's my dinner?!?!?!
......... Will Asuka see the book? Will Shinji learn magic? Will Misato spontaneously combust from all the alcohol she drinks? All will be revealed in the next instalment of Argon Genesis: Evangelion: Angry Redheads and Concentration don't mix
Authors Notes: THIS IS NOT going to turn into a Harry Potter analogue, that is one of the things I intent to avoid. Remember, this is my first shot at a fanfic, it will get better, I hope. There is no three. Four is but an illusion Five is here but remains silent.
