Wednesday 8:35 A.M.
8:35 AM School hours are starting. That morning, Asuka Langley woke up with a serious headache. She stretches from her bed and sits up.
"Last night was weird." She said. She looks over to the clock. 8:37 Am. She broke from the bed and launched herself to the bathroom.
"Oh my god I'm late!" She yelled. She ran to her room after the bathroom to put on her school clothes. After that she was ready. She had forgotten everything that happened yesterday. She ran off to the door. As she turned, she was block by her guardian, Misato Katsuragi.
She was standing there, blocking the door with a 'coffee mug' on her hand steaming of from the heat of the decaf coffee. Her eyes were closed.
"Move Misato, I'm already late."
"You're not going to school, today." She said with a voice parallel to Rei Ayanami.
"What?" Asuka demanded.
"Get dress for now. I'm going to take you somewhere. It'll be quick so don't dress up fancy." Misato inquired.
"Why?" Asuka asked.
"I'll tell you later." Misato said.
"I don't think so." She said walking passed her.
"Stop right there, Second child." Asuka stopped at that moment.
"Come with me in the living room if you want to live." She said. Asuka slowly followed.
'Could she… No it can't be.' Asuka thought.
They stood on the kitchen floor.
"Asuka can you do something for me?" Misato said facing her with a smile on her face.
"What?" She asked.
"I have a surprise for you." Misato said.
"What surprise?" Asuka asked.
"Close your eyes and put your hands behind your back." She requested.
"All right." She did what she was told. Before she could think of what the surprise would be, her world spun as she saw the kitchen move sideways. Or rather yet, she was falling. Her head hit the floor without any support of her hands. Good thing it was hollow wood, or it would had caused her memory loss or brain trauma.
"What was that for?" She yelled at her. What really shocked her the most was the expressionless face on her guardian.
"The surprise. Reminding you not to do the things you shouldn't do at your age. Seriously, Constantly dating some older boys and probably doing something you're not supposed to. Your way over your head and you have an important job as an EVA pilot! Oh I almost forgot, that was for Shinji." She threw an ice pact at her and sat down in the chair.
"That's none of your business!!" She yelled. Misato shot progressive knives at Asuka.
"It is in this house. You play by my rules."
"Sit down." She commanded. Asuka had nothing to do but to sit. She didn't notice the pictures that were on the table. A variety of pictures of her were revealed. They were pictures of her in the situations that would only be too much for any children to see anyone 17 or younger. _
"I was shocked when I saw these and the their dates. You've been doing this for quite some time now behind my back."
Asuka was horrified. The pictured showed everything.
"Well Asuka, it's a good thing I won't make you move out. You would just continue unsupervised. So I will punish you for the time being until I think of something much worse." Misato stated. Asuka looked up with terror.
"You will not be allowed to go out of this house unless the exception of NERV, angel attack, parties, or sleepovers. If by any chance you happen to stumble onto another boy, Section 2 guards will immediately haul your stupid ass here. If you break any of these rules, I will be forced to order the Section-2 guards tighten their watch over you in every single location you are in. Encounters, shopping, bathroom-breaks." Asuka paled.
"You don't want that to happen now would you?" Misato asked. Asuka could only look down.
"I don't want you to say anything, you'll just have to go to your room and rethink you everything you did from that day. Asuka stood up, still has the ice pack on her right cheek.
Misato sigh as she sipped on to her ?coffee?. 'That girl…' she thought.
"This would be psychologically impact Shinji a lot more than her beatings."

Afternoon 3:30 P.M.
That afternoon, Shinji came home school. Boring as usual. It was another endless nonsense of the things that happened in the Second Impact.
'Last night was weird. Who was that girl? Why was she at the balcony inside my house? How'd she get in?'
He opened his door to his home. He took a step inside, remembering the things that happen during yesterday.
'Maybe I'm just dreaming?' he thought.
"I'm home!" no reply came. He went past the living room and entered the Kitchen. Finding Misato drinking beer, and Asuka on the kitchen table, resting. Her face was facing the opposite way from where he was coming from.
"Welcome home Shinji." Misato said. She looked over to Asuka and tapped her leg under the table. Shinji didn't notice it. Asuka stuttered.
"Hi Shinji." She said lying her head back down.
"Hi Asuka." He walked out of the kitchen and towards the hall to his room. Unbelievably, the bed sheets were clean.
'I don't remember washing the sheets.' He thought, 'better not ask.' He changed his school clothes. He sat down on his bed and listened to his SDAT. Looking up at the familiar ceiling, he thought about last night, that girl with those lavender eyes. He could not forget her cute voice with a slight English accent.
"You must be the Third Baron"
What did she mean? Who is she? He closed his eyes and wiped those thoughts away for now.

Night 7:30 P.M.
"Dinner's ready!" Shinji called from the kitchen. Both Asuka and Misato took their seats. He looked at both of his roommates suspiciously. Why are they acting like this?
They started eating dinner. Tonight's menu, Ramen. A few minutes later, the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it." Misato said. She went to get the door. Behind the door stood was a girl.
"Sorry to bothering your dinner, Ms…." She paused and looked at the door then back Misato.
"Captain Katsuragi. If I could…well…um…" She said. Misato didn't speak, but waited for the girl with curiosity.
"Uh, live with you. Oh crap that sounded weird." She muttered.
"What?" Misato asked. She gulped.
"Don't have any place to stay anymore." She said. She looked at the girl carefully. Her face was dirty. Her hair was messy, even though Misato thought about her when she could be cleaned. The girl saw her gaze.
"Well, I could be a house keeper-cleaner person. You don't have to pay me. You don't even have to feed me. I'll do anything without complaining. You could even h-harass me if...that...would satisfy...you" She pleaded looking away and slowly looking back at Misato. Misato thought about that, it could be nice, but she already had Shinji. Since the girl saw Misato staring off to space, or ignoring her, she spoke.
"Well if you can't, then I'll leave you alone now. Sorry for bothering your evening. Good night." She started to pick up her carry-on bag, actually bags. Misato's eyes widened.
'What the hell?' she thought. The girl had about 15 big shoulder bags. She felt sorry for the girl. More importantly the quantity of bags she had.
"Oh wait! Come inside. I'll think it over tonight okay?" Misato said. She flustered.
"I, Thank you." Misato started freaking out on how heavy the bags were.
"Welcome to our Residence." She said. She took a small step and whispered to herself
"I'm home." Looking ahead, with a Rei expression.
"Let's bring your bags here." She settled her bags in the entrance.
"Let me wipe that dirt off of your face so you can present yourself to the other people living here." said Misato wiping the dirt off of her face with a cloth hanging from the nearby table.
She entered the kitchen with the girl behind her.
"Guys, I'd like you to meet our probably newest roommate." She said. Asuka and Shinji looked at her. She steps aside to reveal the girl. Shinji said hi. Asuka said hi. 'WTF? How can she let someone like her in here!' Asuka screamed in her mind.
She sat at the head of the table.
"So, tell about yourself." Misato said.
"My name is Mira Yamato Suzuki. I lived in Germany, and I'm 13. I speak a lot of languages."
"What about school?"
"I don't go to school anymore. There wasn't much for me to take. The Universities I applied gave me everything they could."
"Wait, does that mean your..." said Misato.
"A Graduate?" Asuka finished.
"A what? That's what you call it? Okay....um....." Mira said nervously.
"Don't lie. Stop making things up." Asuka said, with a hint of venom
"O-okay, sorry." Mira retreated instantly. 'This looks so familiar somehow.' Misato thought.
'She must be lying.' Everyone thought.
"Okay Mira. Hey you can go take a shower right now." She said.
"Alright." She dragged a bag with her to the bathroom, which was easily found and lifted it quite easily too.
'How'd she lift that bag so easily?'
When she was gone, Asuka busted.
"Ho w can you let her live with us? She's like a squatter!" she shouted, low enough that Mira wouldn't here.
"Because, didn't you see? She had that heavy bag? She has more back there." Misato defended.
"I don't care. I don't trust her. She can't fool me with that innocent look. She's faking it." She said.
"Like you'd know. She wasn't really the first who had the innocent look that you thought was fake." Misato smiled, eyeing Shinji.
"I just can't leave her like that. She's just 13." Misato said.
"I don't care, I want her out by tomorrow." Asuka commanded.
"No, she said she could help us on the house work. She would be able to help Shinji with his house work."
'That girl.... What's with her eyes? She' looks familiar."
Minutes later, Mira emerged from the hall, clean and fresh. Misato, Shinji and even Asuka looked towards her as she combs her wavy hair. She was wearing a blue T-shirt that extended that revealed an inch of her great waistline. She wore a red short skirt and black socks. Her blackish, bluish hair was glittering from the light. She walked towards here other bags and open one of them. Though she really didn't noticed the three, staring at her. "See, quick a looker right Shinji?" Misato whispered. "Well y-yeah." He stammered. "Bitch." Asuka muttered, and folding her arms on her chest. Mira came back and took the plates from the table. "Oh Mira, you don't have to do that tonight, you'll be starting tomorrow." Misato said.
"Alright." Mira said. Misato suddenly stared right into her eyes.
"Hmm?"
"Are those contacts?"
"Huh?"
"Your eyes, they're pinkish purple."
"A-albino syndrome?"
"Must be high tech implants. We've seen much weirder stuff than that. And they were real." Asuka said.
"Rei?"
Shinji and Misato quickly looked at her. Asuka suddenly got her full attention on the girl.
"What did you say?"
"I said wait. I must have stuttered. Captain Katsuragi?" Mira asked as Asuka walked to the living room.
"Misato." Misato corrected.
"Misato, Where should I sleep?" She asked.
"In Asuka's room." She said.
"WHAT!!!!" Asuka screamed. Mira jumped back, extremely frightened from Asuka's scream that meant a No. Misato noted that this girl is easily scared, paranoid. Mira cringed.
"I could sleep in the sofa. Would you mind?" Mira asked.
"Suit yourself." Misato said. Shinji cleaned the plates on the sink. Misato was still drinking beer.
Mira walked to the living room and sat on the floor, leaning against the sofa. Asuka was watching something on the TV, but her attention was focused on Mira.
"Let's take this slow." Asuka thought.
"Why don't you sit on the couch?" She asked.
"I don't sit on my bed, when watching." She said, while her head was still directed to the TV.
"This isn't your bed." She said.
"S-should I sleep in the floor?" Mira lowered her head.
"No you could sleep on the sofa." She said.
"Thank you." Mira said, lightened.
Two hours later, it was time to sleep. Misato went to bed. Asuka was already asleep. Shinji finished cleaning up the messes and walked towards his room. He looked over to the balcony and found Mira leaning on the rails. The moonlight was reflection from her head. The moonlight radiance made it looked like she had a halo. He found out he was staring at her for a quietly long time.
"Take a picture. It'll last longer." Mira said didn't even look. Shinji shortly thought about it.
He broke into her reverie. He walked slowly towards her and leaned against the rails.
"Good Evening, Mr. Ikari." She greeted.
"Oh you can call me Shinji." He said.
"You don't mind?" she said.
"No." he said.
"Okay, Shinji." She said.
"So uh, Mira, how did you get here from Germany?" he asked.
"Traveled." She said.
"How long have you been traveling?" he asked.
"T-two to three months, I guess." She said still staring at the moon. "You don't have to believe me. I don't care. I just tell people that." She said.
"Who are you really?" he asked.
"I'm just Mira. But the rest… Not yet, the time isn't right." She said.
"All right." He said. She looked at him and smiled. Shinji saw her smile. I was as beautiful as Rei's, but Mira was like another version of Rei's smile.
"You're really kind Shinji. I like you. And don't worry, you'll get to know me soon. It's inevitable." Shinji blushed by that comment.
"Though I only know you for a little while, but I know your kind." She said.
"Thanks." He said.
"Wanna here something random?"
"Hmm?"
"God gives man power, man over uses it. God send a warning. Yet that's what Humans see it. A warning, a final word. But it's a test. And one day in the end, the world would be destroyed by man's doing. Humans are at the edge of a cliff. God just happens to be the fragile cliff. Waiting for man to fall. But somehow he has faith in them. Just like the Devil. That's why the Angels fight the three Barons..."
She then walked off from the balcony to the kitchen and headed towards the couch to turn the night. In the darkness was certain redhead sighed very quietly and angry, as she walked off to her room to sleep.
Shinji didn't say anything after that. 'Barons?' He went inside to sleep, thinking about what she said.
