Rei remembered it like it was yesterday, the hatch opening up and stepping in was Shinji Ikari, yelling her name over and over again. She also remembered his tears of joy at the sight of her, and that made her feel…good. 'What is this emotion I feel? I'll ask Captain Katsuragi tomorrow.' She entered the school yard and went straight to class, not bothering to talk to anybody, and stared out the window.
"Uhh…how are you Rei?" A gentle voice said next to her.
"I am well." She looked and saw Shinji standing next to her desk.
"..That's…uhh…great…" He walked to his desk and sat down, looking down in disappointment. She looked at him for a moment, and then looked back outside. 'Why does he worry about me so?'
Fuyutsuki walked up to the commander of Nerv, a half-smile on his face. Gendo Ikari looked through steepled fingers.
"What news of the second child?" Ikari's voice held a neutral tone.
"She's ready to go…but this is too early for the scenario." Fuyutsuki held the same neutral tone.
"Then we'll wait…" Ikari just looked at his terminal.
Misato and Ritsuko sat in the cafeteria, the former making faces because of the food and the latter reading through a report.
"So, how are Shinji's sync ratios?" Misato looked at what was called meat loaf and put down her fork.
"Well…he's at fifty-three percent and still rising." The good doctor replied without looking up but sounded amused.
"That's good to hear…have you noticed how he's been…well…after the fourth angel, especially with Rei?" Misato sounded like she was hinting at something.
"Actually no…how has he been acting toward her?" The good doctor looked up with a questioning look on her face.
"Well, from what section two said, he's been glancing at her for days now and he finally approached her today…" The captain smiled a knowing smile.
"So…you think he's getting more courageous?" The good doctor cocked an eyebrow.
"Possibly more…and it seemed Rei is warming up to him…" The captain had a glint in her eye that seemed innocent.
"So…what are you thinking about doing?" The good doctor looked like she already knew what her friend was about to say.
"Well…Valentines day is in a couple of weeks…so…" The captain winked at the doctor playfully.
"So your going to play match maker…just be careful not to hurt their feelings." The good doctor had an amused expression. 'This could complicate the scenario…'
Rei walked from the school yard but stopped when she heard her name called. She turned to see who it was and it was Shinji.
"Yes Ikari?" She looked at him with a neutral face.
"C-could I just walk you home?" He looked nervous for some reason.
"You may do as you wish." She started walking again and he walked next to her.
"Umm…I'm glad to see you're alright…" He looked at her with a shy smile. She stopped and looked at him.
"Why do you care for my well being?" Rei's expression softened.
"Well…I-I don't know…you seem like a good person…and you shouldn't give up on your own life like that…" He just looked down.
"Would you like some tea?" She looked at him with a slight smile.
"Y-yeah…sure…" He smiled as he followed her to a local tea-house.
Gendo looked at the report that section two gave him. 'So my son has feelings for Rei…he does need a reason to pilot…I'll give him one…' He smiled as he dialed Katsuragi's phone.
"Captain…just calling to see how Shinji is doing…well that's good…invite Rei over for dinner…I'm just concerned for her welfare…have a nice day." He hangs up the phone and smiles. 'This should give him a reason to pilot…'
Rei looked over her tea to Shinji. She had a funny feeling in her stomach as she looked at him.
"Rei…are you alright?" He looked at her with concern.
"I am…well." She smiled a small smile as she blushed.
"…Well…uhh…" He stammered as he blushed. 'Why can't I just talk to her!'
"What is it Ikari?" She looked at him questioningly.
"Never mind…" He looked down in defeat. She reached out with her hand and grasped his. He was shocked still.
"I am…concerned for you…" She squeezed his hand reassuringly.
"I…I-I like you a lot…" He squeezed back as she smiled.
"I…am glad." She smiled back.
"So you're going to bring your girlfriend over tonight…Riiiight?" Misato leaned on the railing of the tea-house outside dining area.
"Um…uhh…s-sure…I mean…would you like to have dinner at my place Rei?" He managed to get out while nervously stammering.
"That would be acceptable Ikari." Rei smiled as she followed Shinji and Misato to Misato's car her hand unconsciously taking his.
Ritsuko walked into Gendo's office her face set.
"What is the meaning of this?" She holds up a copy of section twos report on Shinji and Rei.
"Pilot Ikari is essential for the scenario…he must have a reason to stay." He calmly looked at her.
"You know where half of Rei came from…I can't believe you would allow it…" She looked down in horror.
"She's been ordered not to tell anyone…and she won't." He looked through steepled fingers.
"It's just…Wrong…" She looked down. He smiled, got up and walked to her. He put his finger under her chin and had her look up. He kissed her slowly and all that was heard was the sound of falling paper.
Misato, Shinji, and Rei walked in to the apartment. Shinji let go of her hand and went to the kitchen and started meal preparation. Misato opened the fridge and grabbed a Yebisu. Rei looked at the captain as she let out a post-beer scream.
"That hits the spot!"
"What hits the spot?" The mild apath just looked with curiosity at the captain.
"A good beer after a hard day of work…and by the way Shinji you must enjoy a challenge…" The captain looked playfully at the reclusive boy.
"W-what do you mean by that?" He looked confused to his guardian.
"Why cooking for your girlfriend and you don't even know her tastes…" Misato playfully winked at the mild apath.
"Umm…Rei…what would you like to eat?" He blanched and looked at Rei.
"I do not eat meat…other than that anything you prepare will be suitable." Rei gave him a small smile.
"Ya' hear that…she doesn't eat 'meat'…" She looked at Shinji and smiled. Rei couldn't help but think there was a double meaning to the captain's statement. It was confirmed when Shinji turned a bright red.
"What did she mean by that?" Rei looked over at Shinji with concern.
"N-nothing…" He turned back to his cutting board still red.
"Good day…" Rei got up to leave but Shinji stepped in front of her and took her hands in his.
"D-don't go…please stay…" He looked at the mild apath with fear.
"…Alright, I'll stay." Rei squeezed his hands reassuringly.
A ship in the middle of the Indian Ocean had an occupant looking over the railing. She wore a yellow dress and had red hair; her deep blue eyes looked over the water to another ship in the envoy. She smiled and went back inside the superstructure.
Rei looked at her host and smiled slightly. 'Ikari wanted me to stay…why is that? Is it not obvious that I am the source of his teasing from Captain Katsuragi?' She noticed a small smile on his face and turned to look at the older woman.
"Shinji…it's too obvious that you like her, and you just proved it." Misato stated matter of factly. When Shinji didn't respond the older woman looked concerned. Rei walked up to him and touched his shoulder. He looked at Rei and smiled broadly.
"Ikar-" Rei started, but was interrupted by him.
"Call me Shinji, Rei." He went back to the cutting board and put the contents into a pot of boiling water.
"Oooo…looks like the two of you are on a first name basis…" The older woman looked playfully at the young male pilot.
"Captain, it appears that Ikar-…Shinji does not like this line of talk." Rei corrected herself. Misato smiled and leaned back.
"Y-you didn't have to…" He started as the quiet mild apath just looked at him.
"Your vegetables are burning." Rei pointed and he quickly took them off the stove.
"Th-thank you…" He blushed and turned away. 'Why is he acting that way?' Rei helped him put the dishes of food down. She was surprised that the food he cooked was so good. Misato noticed the slight look of pleasure on the young female pilots face.
"He could be a chef when this is all over with…and any woman would love to come home to him…" Misato hinted and the mild apath just nodded, savoring the taste of the food on her taste-buds.
"Misato!" Shinji turned a bright red as the older woman giggled. Rei finished off her plate and got seconds. 'I would love to come home to Shinji…' The mild apath blushed as she started on her second plate.
Gendo looked at the surveillance monitor and smiled. 'You've gotten stronger Shinji…you'll need that strength for what I have in mind for you…' He looked at the good doctor as she buttoned her blouse.
"I want you to get the cage ready for Unit 02…and have Shinji leave with Captain Katsuragi to greet the Second Child." He looked back to the monitor.
"Yes sir…" She left with a sad note in her voice.
Shinji remembered that Rei wanted to come as well but his father told her she had to stay. 'Why do I have to go…' He was brought out of his thoughts by Misato.
"I hear the second child is a girl…" Misato winked at him and he just turned back to the window to hide his blush. When he didn't react to what she said, she slid up next to him and looked down.
"So…do you know what she's like?" He stared out the window, waiting for an answer.
"I hear that she is hot headed…that's what the report read…are you gonna cheat on Rei?" She didn't get the response she thought she would get. He looked down as if ashamed of something.
"We're…just friends…" He looked off in the distance and saw the aircraft carrier.
"Just friends? I know that look anywhere, you've fallen for her…" Her features softened a little.
"I…I don't know anymore…" He continued to stare out the window, dreading meeting the Second Child.
Rei stared out the window in class ignoring the droning of the teacher. 'Why did Commander Ikari order me to stay here?' She looked at the teacher and then back outside again. 'Shinji…why do I have the feeling that you are in danger?'
A stubbly man with Kaji on his name tag walked out to greet the two representatives from NERV.
"Well, well, well…never thought I'd see you again Katsuragi. And is this the Third Child?" Kaji had a smirk on his face.
"The Third Child? I don't see anything special about him…" A red haired girl walked over to Shinji.
"Shinji Ikari…meet Asuka Langly Sohryu." Kaji looked between the two Eva pilots. Shinji looked away as Asuka leaned forward showing generous amounts of cleavage.
"Hello, pleased to meet you…" Shinji bowed and then looked at her to see a confused look on Asuka's face.
"Why did you bow?" Asuka looked to the two Japanese adults.
"It's a sign of respect Asuka…" Misato hid her grin with her hand.
"He should respect me." Asuka looked the Third Child in the eye. 'It doesn't seem like he has a backbone…and this is the guy that took out the third angel?' Shinji backed off a couple of steps.
"Alright, we need to see the captain and hand over his orders." Misato started to walk away and the Third and Second Child followed.
The Captain looked at the orders and frowned. 'Damn NERV…do they always have to stick their nose into business that isn't theirs?'
"Well until we reach shore, I'm still in command regardless of what your orders say." The Captain had a smirk on his face as he thought he had won a battle of wills.
"Well I reserve the right to act in my capacity as Director of Field Operations should the need arise." Misato smiled at the frowning Captain.
"Fine…get off my bridge." The Captain shot a dejected look in Misato's direction.
Kaji sat in the mess decks of the aircraft carrier with the second child next to him, across from him was Misato and Shinji, the former looking annoyed and the latter looking nervous.
"So…still wild in bed?" The unshaven lecher had a silly grin on his face. Misato went red from embarrassment. He felt a swift kick from under the table quickly silencing any retort he may have said next.
"Hey Third, wanna see somethin'?" The red haired girl across from the shy boy instantly asked.
"…S-sure." Shinji got up to leave, but Misato had a mischievous smile on her face.
"Now Shinji, be gentle…" Misato giggled as she got the exact response she wanted. Shinji blushed heavily and quickly followed the German girl out.
"You know…he just might be a lady killer and not realize it yet…" Kaji had a thoughtful tone in his voice.
"At least he treats a woman like a delicate creature." Misato looked at the unshaven lecher with a glare.
Asuka looked proudly upon the red evangelion as Shinji just stared in wonder.
"So, what do you think?" The red haired girl tilted her head and put her hand on her hip.
"It's…amazing…" The Third Child had awe in his voice. She grinned at his statement and flashed a smile.
"It's specifically built for battle, not like yours and the others which are prototypes." She walked to the gunwale of the transport of the ship and leaned on the rail. He walked up beside her and then looked at the water as if something wasn't right. A large splash and a large white whale like thing started heading toward the fleet.
Misato was looking over the operations technician's shoulder seeing what the color turned out to be. As soon as it flashed blue a small smile crept onto her face.
"As of right now I am in command and my first order is to launch Unit 02!" Misato got a few strange looks as the Naval Captain stepped out of the bridge. As soon as he did that every sailor started to move to get the EVA ready to go.
"Ma'am, both pilots are on the transport…and that thing is headed for them!" The ops person couldn't hide the shock that was in his voice.
"Get me a line to them!" Misato yelled at the Radio-man.
The radio on the deck came to life as Misato's voice came through.
"This is what I want both of you to do, Asuka, destroy the angel and Shinji, help her." The voice cracked out.
"How?" Shinji had a sinking feeling, but he wanted to confirm it.
"Get in the Eva with her." He could hear the amusement in the older woman's voice.
"Well, suit up third; it's time to go to work!" Asuka ran back with a gym bag and tossed out a red female plug-suit.
"In THIS!" Shinji had shock in his voice.
"It's all I have third, deal with it." Asuka had a slight fury in her voice as she ran down the stairs to suit up. He unwillingly put on the red plug-suit and got into the plug with the German girl.
The white behemoth that was the sixth angel went through another ship; it's AT field cutting through it like a hot knife through butter. It had reached the transport when the red evangelion jumped out of it and started skipping ships to the aircraft carrier. With an enraged motion, the angel's AT field smashed the transport, breaking the keel and sending it to the bottom. The red evangelion landed on the aircraft carrier and hooked up its umbilical power supply.
"Don't be getting any funny ideas…" The red haired German girl looked at the third child in an annoyed glance as he was sprawled over her lap with his hands over hers on the controls.
"What do you mean?" He looked confused at her.
"It's here!" She pointed as the sixth angel beached itself on the aircraft carrier, white tentacles forming and wrapping around the red eva. The white angel threw itself back into the ocean pulling the red eva with it. When it was deep enough it opened its massive jaws and pulled the eva into its mouth.
"No way I'm gonna make it THAT easy…!" Asuka growled as she willed her eva to stay at the massive lips of the angel, the feet on the bottom lip and the hands on the top lip. The angel tried with all its might, but it couldn't pull the eva in, so instead it elongated its teeth and impaled the mechaniod. Both pilots screamed in agony as they felt what the eva felt. A glazed look went over Shinji's eyes and the eva roared. Asuka screamed in anger at the angel, unknowingly syncing with Shinji, causing unit 02 to go berserk. The red eva's eye's glowed a bright green as it forced open the jaws of the whale-like angel and jumped inside. Unit 02 tore through the organs till it found its core and crushed it, causing the angel to explode. The explosion launched the red eva into the air and by a stroke of luck it landed on the deck of the aircraft carrier. When it landed the power ran out from the back up battery.
Shinji sat in his room onboard ship in a set of spare coveralls. His hair looked wet as if he just got out of the shower. He didn't hear the door open as the second child stepped in.
"You did good out there…" She smiled but didn't notice his look of despair. When she didn't get a response she looked a little worried.
"Are you alright?" She sat by him, but he didn't move.
"I hate it…" He said softly.
"What? The angel's?" She was guessing. 'We won against that thing…why is he moping?'
"I hate to pilot those things…" He stared blankly at her.
"Why? We won, we should be celebrating…" She smiled warmly at him. He stared back to the floor.
"Come on! We're entering port anyway." She grabbed his hand and pulled him from his room, running down the passageway.
Rei waited on the dock as she saw Misato walk down gangplank. 'Where is Shinji?' Her heart leapt when she saw the third child but frowned when she saw that he was being pulled along by a red haired girl. Shinji blushed as he shook the red haired girl off, running up to Rei and pulling her into a hug. Rei blushed as she tightly hugged him back.
"Shinji…I'm glad that you are safe…" Rei had a blissful smile on her face.
"Hi! I'm Asuka Langly Sohryu, the Second Child and best eva pilot around. Who are you?" Asuka had a bounce in her step as she took one of Shinji's arms. Rei held onto him tightly while staring at the second child in a cool to near freezing manner.
"Oooo, Shinji's a chick magnet…" Misato walked up from behind the three pilots.
"Ack!" Shinji turned bright red. Asuka seeing an opportunity kissed him on the cheek. This earned a below zero look at the second child as she pulled Shinji from Asuka's grasp.
"Looked like he enjoyed that…" Asuka had a husky tone in her voice. Rei looked into his eyes and saw shock and confusion.
"Let us go Shinji…" She pulled him along and he numbly followed. Asuka laughed as Misato walked up next to her.
"My only advice is to tread carefully around Rei…she just might be the jealous type." Misato had a playful serious tone in her voice.
"He's an extraordinary pilot…he should only be with the best…" She smiled darkly as she followed Misato to the black sedan.
After Shinji had calmed down a bit he smiled and squeezed Rei's hand. She smiled and squeezed back. 'Should I tell her? She might slap me…' Rei noticed his troubled look and a look of concern fell on her face.
"What is troubling you Shinji?" She turned to face him and clasped his other hand.
"Well…I…I-I piloted with Asuka in Unit 02…" He was getting ready for the slap that didn't come.
"You probably did not have a choice Shinji…and I trust you." She had a hint of a smile on her face as she kissed him. The look of relief spread across his face.
Asuka looked out the window till they got to the car train. Then she stared in wonder at the Geofront.
"It's…big…" She had wistfulness in her voice.
"So…what did you think of Shinji with Rei?" Misato looked out the window apparently bored.
"I could show him a better time than that…doll." Asuka spat the last word out like it was poison. Misato looked at the second child with a worried look. 'That's what I was afraid of…'
Ritsuko looked at the red EVA as it was being lowered into the launch bay and then into the EVA cages. 'The second child won't be easy to control…The third was to help with that…but with his infatuation on the first that plan has to be scrapped. Gendo wants this to happen though…' Maya Ibuki walked up beside the good doctor with a clipboard.
"Sempai…some forms for Unit 02…" The young assistant handed over the clipboard and the good doctor signed it.
"Maya…have section 2 look into Shinji's whereabouts from now on." Ritsuko looked at the face of the red EVA.
"Yes sempai…" The young assistant nodded and left to follow her orders. 'I should help Gendo in his endeavors for the third child's sake…'
Misato walked past the Eva cages and into the bridge. 'Shinji is going to be busy with sync test's all day tomorrow. I'll let Rei know.' She bumped into Maya who was on her way back to her desk.
"Oh, sorry…say, have you seen Shinji?" Misato asked the young bridge tech.
"…No I haven't, but there are no scheduled sync tests today." Maya had a rushed look about her.
"Ok, see-ya later!" Misato started walking toward the male locker room.
Asuka walked past the male locker room and looked for all the hiding places she could find. 'I'll ensure the he can't hide from me, Asuka the Great!' A slow smile came on her face as she thought of everything that she could do with the third child. When she heard movement she jumped into one of the hiding places she just found to see who it was. 'I hope it's him…' She waited till she saw the red jacket and slumped down. 'Why would she be coming here?' Asuka's eyes went to the size of saucers when she saw Misato just walk into the male locker room as if it was nothing. '…How could she?!' The fiery red head breathed out a sigh of relief as she saw Misato leave the locker room with a perturbed expression.
"Guess I'll have to tell him later…" The purple haired captain walked back down the corridor not knowing that she was spied upon. 'What did she mean by tell him later?' Asuka climbed out of her hiding spot with a confused look on her face. What she didn't know was of the pen cam that was right above her head that took in everything.
Rei knew where all the cameras were at, which is why she chose the spot her and Shinji were at. She looked at him and smiled that small smile of hers. 'She still has such a pretty smile…' He smiled back as she kissed him. When she broke the kiss she looked deep into his eyes.
"Shinji…are we boyfriend and girlfriend?" She looked slightly confused with a blush on her pale skin.
"I…I-I…guess so…why?" He looked flustered as he looked down at her.
"Do boyfriends and girlfriends move beyond kissing?" She asked drawing herself closer to him. He blushed a bright red and just nodded, too worked up to speak. She smiled as she took his hand and cupped it over her breast. He turned redder as she deeply kissed him, trailing her hands over his shock still form till she found a quickly growing appendage. She undid his belt, button, and zipper staring at the size of his penis. Just recovering from his in shock status he looked at her questioningly. She pulled off her school uniform to show that she wasn't wearing any underwear at all. With a firm grasp of his penis she pulled him up and took off the rest of his clothes. He understood that she wanted this and he wasn't going to try to argue with her. He cupped her breast and kissed her deeply while he explored her body with his other hand. She guided his other hand to her vagina. She let out a small moan as he rubbed her there, she stroked his penis appreciatively having him grunt in pleasure. She kissed him deeply and pushed him down till he was lying on the ground. She straddled herself above him and guided him slowly into her. She felt a popping from inside her that hurt for a second till the pleasure seemed to roll through her like a thunder storm. He panted and grunted as he thrust into her, feeling the pleasure ebb and flow through him.
"Shinji…deeper…" She panted out, clearly enjoying herself. He rolled her onto her back as she spread her legs wider as well as locking her legs with his. A smile of pure bliss was all over Shinji's face as he pumped to an unheard rhythm. She pulled him close as she orgasmed letting out a moan of pleasure. He grunted as he felt pressure build in his penis, getting to the point where the pain was overriding the pleasure. She kissed him needing to feel the explosion that she knew was coming. He thrust into her as he orgasmed, his seed shooting deep within her. She moaned in pleasure as her fingernails dug into his back. She rolled to where she was back on top again and pumped herself up and down prolonging the pleasure wave. He screwed his eyes shut as he took his hands from her hips to her breasts, gently squeezing the nipples. This earned a gasp as she held his hands there. She leaned forward and kissed him as she rode him. He gasped as she righted herself with her hands holding his hands on her breasts and erect nipples as they felt the pleasure roll through them. She orgasmed again, arches her back and her eyes rolling up inside her skull. He felt the pressure build again and grunted as he sat up, taking one of her breasts into his mouth and sucked while groping the other. Her hip movements getting faster as she was about to climax again, staring lovingly at him. He ground into her as she held him tight. She kissed him deeply, each moaning as they both climaxed. As they lay down she snuggled close and held him tight. He looked spent but happy. She looked into his tired eyes and smiled.
"I love you Shinji…" She whispered.
"I love you Rei…" He whispered.
"We should tell no-one of this…the consequences could be bad for both of us…" She looked at him with a worried expression.
"Ok…This is our secret…" He knew that she was right. 'Father would ensure we would never see each other again…' She smiled and kissed him. 'The commander would not approve of this act…' They held each other as they fell asleep.
