Herald: Okay! This is my first (well first published) attempt at Evangelion fan fiction! I saw a piece of art that inspired the first couple chapters, and I had a plot idea also running in my head at the time, so I smashed the two together, and voila! Here we are!
Like I said, this is the first published fan fic of mine for Evangelion. I have another version of this story already well written out, but it is very very mature, and I hope to focus more on the humor in this version and have this one be the published product. I may eventually publish the 'original' story later on, once I read into the limits of what is allowed here. Reviews are very much appreciated.
Rated T for Torture...well...you'll see...
It was a normal night, well, normal for post-second impact. The Children had gathered and had their poker night where they also talked about the Eva program.
Ever since most of the people left the city, they had spent more time around each other more or less to keep each other sane, since for all intents and purposes they were alone in Tokyo-3.
"I'll raise." Shinji smirked as the chips fell onto the table, he had three aces, he had the best hand, yet Asuka had given her tell, she was dead silent. Rei on the other hand was a different story. A master of bluffing, she could have anything. This was what worried him the most. She had the most chips at the moment, and could easily cause them both to go all in.
"I call." Asuka threw hers in as well with less vigor than she had the time before. Sure she had four queens, but she figured that acting calm would throw them both off when she went all in the next round.
Rei looked at her two co-pilots and frowned. They both had good hands, she could tell. She had to play carefully, or did she?
"I'm all in." She calmly pushed all of her chips to the center of the table.
"I don't have nearly enough to call! What am I supposed to do?" Asuka and Shinji both shouted as this happened.
"Fine, then fold. Here's what we could do if you want to stay in. The pot means nothing to me. What we could do is that the person with the highest hand will have the other two be their slaves for a week." The offer was something Asuka couldn't resist, and Shinji was perturbed by what the meaning could be.
"Of course this would only be while we are in private, when we enter NERV we will be ourselves."
"Agreed. I'm in." Shinji pushed his chips in to signify his agreement. Asuka soon followed and threw her cards down to Shinji's crying. Asuka started to reach for the pot but Rei shoved a collar and her and stopped her.
"Royal Flush." She smiled as she looked down at her new slave, who looked good with the black shock collar and leash attached to it.
"Oh man, why did I have to lose to Wondergi—" Asuka stopped in mid-sentence as voltage entered her body.
"That's master to you. At least for the next week. Shinji."
"Yes ma'am?"
"Go back to my house and pick up enough clothing for me for the week. I will be sleeping in your bed." The once quiet and serene Rei had suddenly turned a new cheek and now had a look in her eye that would have scared Shinji normally, but he was too caught up at the last part of her statement. 'Rei will be sleeping with me?' Shinji thought as he went out the door. 'What have I gotten myself into?'
"Now Asuka, for the next week, if you can't say anything nice at all…"
"Oh shut up Wonder---" Rei shocked her by pressing a little button on Asuka's leash.
"Like I was saying if you can't say anything nice at all, shut your damn mouth and be a good girl, or else. Oh, and by the way, let's just say you'd better treat Shinji better also, or else I have a worse punishment that I could use." Rei looked right into Asuka's eyes as she said this, scaring the fire right out of the young German. She wasn't kidding. Was she?
"What about Misato? You can't exactly stay here without her knowing about it, right?"
Rei coughed as she pondered telling Asuka about the little "surprise" she had left Misato with. She had planned this week for a while now. Rei decided it would do no harm and motioned for Asuka to sit back up from her sprawled position after she had shocked her once more 'just for fun.'
"Address me properly. But you are right, normally Misato would never allow this to happen, but she's going to be otherwise disposed of for the next week." Rei envisioned the cruise that she had given her. She had even gone so far as to make sure that Kaji would be on the same cruise so as to keep her mind off them. If everything went as she planned, she would only need this one week.
"Misato! Fancy meeting you this evening." Kaji walked up behind Misato and goosed her on the butt, getting a squeal out of her as they both started to board the boat.
"Kaji! You really don't have any manners, do you?" Misato gave him a slap across the face which really didn't have as much force as she normally would have. For some reason, it was actually nice to see the bum for once.
"It was really nice for Rei to give me that ticket for this cruise." Kaji said after they were below decks and the ship had left port.
It was then that Misato started to think that something was up, but she was soon overtaken with seasickness.
'Rei, what are you up to, you little brat?'
"Get me a tissue." Rei ordered as her nose began to tingle. Asuka, now more trained than before, got up and handed her a tissue from the table. "Good girl." Rei patted her on the head, eliciting a little growl from the otherwise loud mouth. Rei squinted over and as she sneezed held down the button given her an extended shock.
'I don't know why, but I really love doing that.' Rei admitted to herself as she let go, leaving Asuka smoking on the floor.
"I'm back!" Shinji announced as the door closed behind him, he held a pair of suitcases which essentially contained all of Rei's possessions, since that was all he could find. He had even made sure to pack some of her medicine so that she wouldn't forget. He moved past the two, noticing the steaming look he got from Asuka and the odd look he got from Rei. 'Almost looks like a loving look….nah!' Shinji shook his head as he closed the door to his room.
"Come here Shinji, I wish to watch TV with you." Rei patted the couch beside her and Shinji sat down and immediately blushed as Rei leaned her head against his shoulder.
'Great…I have to sit here and be on a leash, but Shinji the Hero gets to sit by Wondergirl. Well I guess I get the better deal since I don't have to sleep with her.' Chuckling she closed her eyes and leaned against the couch, hoping to have time to recover from the shocks.
"Asuka, if you wish, you may retire to your bed." Rei unhooked the leash as Asuka got up and looked around to take in the scene.
"Shinji, don't go feeling her up, you pervert." Asuka said as she went to her room and closed her door.
"sigh What did I tell you about Shinji, Asuka?" Rei brought up her small remote and pressed the first button on it, sending a signal to Asuka's collar. There was a yelp from her room, then silence.
"What was that all about?" Shinji looked to Rei with a scared look in his face.
"Nothing you should worry about. If Asuka gives you any crap like that, I order you to tell me."
"Okay, for the next week, right?"
"Nope, that one lasts from here on out." Rei smiled and Shinji passed out from his lack of disbelief at what was going on.
"Yep, things are going to be nice." Rei felt good about finally getting to let her emotions out. She got up and went to check that Shinji had gotten everything she had needed.
Panties. School uniforms. Everything she needed seemed to be there, then upon the second suitcase she angered to see the red and white pills. They were emotional inhibitors, which she hadn't taken for almost a month now. She took them and flushed them down the toilet.
"Rei, what happened?" Shinji stumbled toward the restroom as she came out, still slightly in shock.
"Don't worry about it Shinji, you did a good job. Let's go to bed." Rei went to his side and took his arm as Shinji mumbled something about car wrecks and Misato's drinking habits.
Herald: Hmm, Rei without the pills? Should be interesting, eh?
OMAKE (Another first for me!)
"Fine, then fold. Here's what we could do if you want to stay in. The pot means nothing to me. What we could do is that the person with the highest hand will have the other two be their slaves for a week." The offer was something Asuka couldn't resist, and Shinji was perturbed by what the meaning could be.
"Agreed. I'm in." Shinji pushed his chips in to signify his agreement. Asuka soon followed and threw her cards down to Shinji's crying. Asuka started to reach for the pot but Shinji shoved a collar and her and stopped her.
"Royal Flush! Let's see you call me a pervert now biatch! Thanks Rei for the nifty shock collars!"
"Collars?" Rei's face shot up just in time to see Shinji put one around her neck as well. "This was not in the scenario."
