If you have not read or watch Evangelion you will get confused! Trust me! And for all of those who have read or watched Evangelion I want to tell you that this story does not really match the original, so don't get offended! and uh, i suck at spelling, please forgive me.

Chapter 1

We'll start in Seele.

A large glass tube surrounds him as he floats, naked, in a transparent orange liquid. It fills his lungs, yet he breaths oxygen. "Tabris…" The master of Seele says from the other side of the tube. The floating albino opens his red eyes and stars at the man he knows helped create him. "Tabris, it is time. You will join NERV, as the 5th child."

Tabris smiles and the glass around him shatters, sending the orange liquid splashing across the floor. The head of Seale grins as the glass flies past him and the albino emerges from his former prison. Tabris breathes in the air and a new recognition comes to him.

He was human, yet not human, and a human mind starts to awaken in him. He looks at his hands and his pale, ghostly from, asking, "What am I?" Choosing to avoid a detailed explanation at this time the master answers, "That is up to you. You are neither male nor female. The choice is up to you and when you decide your body will become that, but I warn you, once you choose you can never change."

Tabris shakes his head exclaiming, "That's not what I meant, I mean…" The master glowers at him and he stops talking. Tabris stands up and the master tells him all he is willing to at this time, which is, "Tabris within days you shall know everything. I know your question was not the one I answered." The albino, still dripping, nods even though he does not understand completely.


As you walk down the street, whistling a tune, Auska chews out Shinji beside you. Your long brown hair is untied today and it flutters behind you, just as the skirt of your school uniform does. You're in the same class as Auska, Shinji and Rei, and you're also child 0.

You had been told that when you were conceived your mother worked at NERV. The Evangelions were still just sketches and schematics. Gendo said that your mother toldhim that no matter what happened she wanted her child to be one of the pilots for the Evangelions.

Because you were the first child proposed to Seele by Gendo they declared you Child 0. Rei was the "1st child" Shinji was the 3rd and Auska was the 2nd. The 4th child, unfortunately had been possessed by an "angel" and killed by the "Dummy plug."

You were born only a month before Shinji was, which isn't a big surprise since you're all the same age. You were told your mother died when you were little, because you don't remember. She drove into a river. They found her body 5 miles upstream from the car, or so they say. You don't remember her, you don't remember a funeral, or anything. This had all been told to you by Gendo when he came to bring you to NERV.

You were pretty sure you had been lied to though; there was no evidence of her in any of the NERV databases, which you had hacked into. In your file, where it said "Parents" both blanks were filled with N/A. (not applicable)

Your name is Aphrodite. You had read that it meant you were a goddess, primarily known as the goddess of love and beauty according to Greek mythology. You didn't think it suited you very well; you weren't particularly tall, or stunning, you never felt all that beautiful. You had never found boys to be a very worthwhile pursuit, actually you didn't really have an interest in any person, girl or boy; they were all so clueless. Love and beauty just didn't seem like you, or at least that's what you thought.

By the time you get to school Auskas still bitching at Shinji and you're getting fed up. You stop abruptly and turn to her, "Shut up Auska, you're just embarrassing yourself by being so loud and obnoxious." She and Ikari (that's Shinjis last name) stop and look at you. Auskas face is notably shocked for a moment then she starts in on you, "Who the hell do you think you are! No one talks to me like that." You rolled your eyes and gave up, no use trying to save someone from themselves.

You sit down next to one of the large windows in your class room and look out at the city below. It's so empty you wonder why you even bother to defend it any more. After all the people left and the "angels" still attacked you knew there had to be some other reason why they kept coming.

You had heard of the first "angel", called Adam, and you had also heard rumours of Lilith being held under NERV. It was fabled that if any angel managed to make physical contact withLilith that a "third impact" would happen that would wipe out the whole world. You assumed that that could only be true as there was nothing else left in this Tokyo to go after.

Shinji sits down next to you with the other guys and he leans over, "Thanks for getting her off my back." You look at him a little surprised. You were going to tell him that she was just pissing you off and you wanted her to shut up but instead you answer, "No problem." And smile brightly.

School passes by just as boring as always. You walk back to the apartment building Shinji, Auska, and Misato live in, along with yourself. You live only a few doors down from them in a larger, cleaner and nicer smelling apartment. Theirs always smelled of beer, and Misato was always drunk or snoring.

You plunk down at the kitchen table and pull out your cell phone. Even though Auska was annoying apparently she still thought she was your friend and was texting you already. She was complaining about her life with Shinji again. You turn off your phone, even though you know that Gendo will kill you for doing it, especially if an angle comes and he can't reach you. You'll hear Ikari and Auska rush out if one does come anyways.

You lounge around and eat a microwave dinner. You don't turn on the TV because you know it'll all be news reports about the last "angel attack." The 4th child was still in the hospital. He was one of Shinjis friends, and one of yours. You made friends with guys easily, they didn't need anything from you, no support, no baggage, just friends.

Shinji had been in the Eva when the dummy plug took over. It went totally savage and crushed the entry plug the pilot had been in. Shinji yelled and cried trying to stop unit one, but he couldn't. The only reason the Eva didn't crush the pilot as well was because it ran out of power. It had taken a while but Shinji was beginning to act normal again. No one had imagined that an angel could have taken over a human body like that.

You change into a pair of cargo pants and put on a tank top. They were earthy tones, green tank top dark brown pants. Your room had lots of plants in it to. You had wanted a place that was organic, more like real life, instead of the cold hard steel that made up the city and the Evas. You turn your phone back on, hoping Auska had given up on trying to message you.

As you slipped it into your pocket it began to vibrate. You rolled your eyes and flipped it open. You were wrong; it wasn't Auska, it was Shinji. You press the green phone and hold it up to your ear as you say, "Hello?" Shinjis voice come through loud and clear, "Hey, me and some of the guys are going to the arcade, wanna come?" you think for a second and figure that you have nothing better to do, plus your really good at arcade games so you respond, "Yeah sure. You could have just walked over here and asked you know."

He answers, "No, I couldn't do that, I'd have to call first anyways." You roll your eyes and say, "Ok, meet you at the door." And hang up. You grab your change purse and head out.


"Now Tabris, try to act like a human. Gendo mustn't know what you are, or that we've sent you. And remember your human name is Kaworu." Kaworu nods his head, his silver hair bouncing to and fro.

His pale white skin shines in the dimly lit tunnel they were walking through. The head of Seale continued to give instructions, but Kaworu already knew all he was going to say. Tabris fully knew every thing now, not only had it been explained to him, but he had an awakening inside him self over the past few days, the two parts of him were both alive, both aware.

He steps up beside his creator and says, "That's enough, I already know." The Master stops and looks at him. Kaworu has a playful smile on his face and a twinkle in his eyes, yet he is also menacing and serious. The Head of Seale smiles and says, "Perfect."


You manage to beat out all the guys, of course, and are laughing it up as you walk down the deserted high way by a large crater which is filled with water. As you look out over the statues and stone structures protruding from the water you see something that does not belong. Sitting on top of a statue of a man and woman is an albino boy. He's in your schools uniform and he's got a black cat on his lap. His silver-white hair sways in the breeze and every one stops talking to look at him.

He stops petting the cat and looks up at you. You're struck by his piercing red eyes, they're marvellous. Reis eyes are red but these were so different, so wonderful. He slides off the statue and the cat falls limply into the water and splashes. It lies there cold and lifeless as this mysterious boy makes his way towards you. His white skin shines in the setting sun and he speaks as he approaches, "Hello Shinji. Hello Aphrodite." You're taken-a-back by this and try to get your bearings. You think, "Who is this boy? I don't recognize him but he seems to know me. Why don't I remember him?"

Shinji steps forward and asks, "How do you know who I am? I don't think I know you." The albino smiles and says, "I have known you for a long time Shinji Ikari. My name is Kaworu." By that time he was standing in front of Shinji. He reaches out and shakes Shinjis hand then turns to you. His eyes meet yours and he takes a step backwards.

You don't know what that was about but he seems to regain his composure and reaches out to shake your hand. "I'm not sure I know you though, Miss Aphrodite. I have only heard of you by reputation." You hadn't known you had any kind of reputation and blush a little saying, "Oh… I see. It's nice to meet you Kaworu." He smiles and releases your hand.

He steps back and looks at both of you, "Could one of you take me to NERV? Directly?" He asks. You look at Shinji and he stares blankly back at you. Yougive a sigh letting Shinji know you'll handle this one, since he's such a pansy that he can barely talk to his friends, never mind strangers.

You turn back to Kaworu who is looking at the two of you expectantly. You smile and say politely, "Actually, the general public is not aloud inside NERV headquarters, sorry. Is there anything else in town you need help finding.?"

Kaworu smiles like he knows something, like he's about to let the cat out of the bag. "Oh, Gendo didn't tell you?" The fact that he knew Mr. Ikari by his first name was a little unnerving. Kaworu paused for dramatic effect then finished his announcement, "I am the fifth child." Your jaw drops and you are stunned.

Within a moment you realise how stupid you must look with your mouth wide open and close it. Shinji is babbling and stuttering, trying to respond, but it makes no sense at all. You manage to utter, "Oh, um… ok then…Kaworu… I'll take you to NERV then." He smiles and closes his eyes, lookin' real cute.

You start to walk back towards town and you wave at Shinji, "I'll see you back at the apartment block." He smiles and waves, "See ya." You mumble under your breath, "Yeah, w/e, you little snot. Just ditch me then."

Kaworu follows you with his hands clasped behind his back. He looks around at the town as you pass by buildings and parks. You look over your shoulder at him and say, "You haven't been in this Tokyo before have you?"

He shrugs and says, "I've seen schematics... I've read a lot about NERV and the pilots and the evas… But you, you seem different than any thing I've read about you." You blush again then quickly dismiss it, "Nobody seems to be able to capture a person well in writing."

You didn't know there were any articles written about you. It was all starting to sound a little strange. "What's up with this Kaworu guy." You think in silence. "He knows to much and he speaks about Gendo and NERV like he's been there and spoken with them. He's just weird."

You arrive at a large mettle door above ground and open it with a heavy thud. You huff and close the door behind Kaworu. Standing up straightyou start to lead the way.

Hoping to start up a conversation so this trip wont be so awkward you ask, "So, Kaworu, do you know where you'll be staying?" he looks at you while you're walking next to him. He had a look of surprise on his face. He answered, "I haven't been told, I never thought of that…" He pauses and thinks for a minute then smiles and answers, "I guess I'll stay with you!"

You trip upon hearing this, but manage to catch your self and continue walking as you explain, "There's no room for another bed in my apartment; it's only got one bedroom." This wasn't completely true, it did have only one bedroom, yes, but it definitely had some other rooms you could fit a bed in.

Kaworu is not daunted by your answer at all as he replies, "That's ok; I don't mind sharing." You stutter a bit as you say, "It's actually Gendo and Ritsuko who get to decide where we each stay, so I really can't be any help."

You open the door to one of the cable cars and he gets in. You travel into the open air of an underground city and you say, "Welcome to NERV, Kaworu." He didn't say anything; he just looked down at the giant pyramid that was NERV headquarters. He looked like he was studying the city; memorizing it.

You watch him as he scans the city protruding from the roof and you kind of admire the fact that's he's not a simple person, amazed by the tiniest thing. Your reaction upon first ever entering this underground chamber was similar to that of Kaworu, but you did get excited as well, unlike Kaworu, who was perfectly calm. After Gendo had taken you intoNERV the first time you never got lost in the tunnels or lost your way in the city. You had carefully memorized the way to go so that in an emergency (like if an "angel" came) you'd be able to perfectly find your way.

You reach the bottom and Kaworu comments, "Magnificent city." You nod and reply dryly, "Yeah, it's ok."

You walk into NERV and flash your security card. Getting to the central station, where the "magis" are, Gendo is shouting at people. You shout up to him, "Hey, Gendo, what's up?" He shouts down, obviously annoyed by the intrusion,"Seale is sending over another child, we're in a rush trying to get…" He stops mid sentence as he looks down at you, or rather, the figure standing beside you.

Every body stops and stares at the white boy standing next to you. Silence settles over the room and Gendo smiles the same sly smile he always does, regaining his composure, with the countenance of a man who knows everything already. He stands up straight and addresses your companion, "Hello Kaworu Nagisa. Welcome to NERV, fifth child. I see you have already met child 0." Kaworu nods and smiles, "Hello Mr. Ikari."

Kaworu spoke as though he was on an even plane with Gendo and Gendo did the same. He still gave that look of disgust, looking down on him with almost a contempt, but he spoke to Kaworu differently than you had ever heard him speak to Shinji or Auska.

He spoke to you in a similar manner as he is now, but he always had a countenance of telling you who was boss. He seamed to have abandoned that menace while speaking to Rei and so he spoke to Kaworu like this. You were a little puzzled, and actually a little jealous.

"Due to the short notice of your coming, we do not currently have a planned place for you to stay." Ritsuko explains politely.Kaworu smiles and says, "That's ok, I've already decided that I'll stay with Aphrodite." You shake your head franticly, exclaiming, "Oh no sir, I really don't have any space, and he's a boy, he can't share my bed room."

Mr. Ikari lowers his head and thinks for a minute then he says something to Ritsuko, who grabs a phone and starts dialling. He announces to you and Kaworu, "Kaworu, you will move in with Misato and the 2nd child. The third child shall move into your apartment, child 0."

Your mouth drops open and you look at him incredulously. Your mind races, "Think of something to say, you've got to change this! Even sharing a bed, or moving stuff out of my rec room for a different bed for this boy would be better than living with Auska!" You saw Kaworu and Gendo talking but didn't hear anything until Gendo said, "Aphrodite will show you to your apartment, your room should be ready when you get there."


You waited quietly while Kaworu was given his security card and some info." Living with Auska can't be that bad, she usually only yells at Shinji. I can just stay out most of the day anyways, she'll be asleep when I get home, right?" you think and mull things over in your head. While you weren't warming up to the idea of living with Auska it didn't seem like the end of the world anymore.

Kaworu emerges from the small office he had been in getting everything he needed and says, "Let's go." You get up and start to lead the way out of the building. Kaworu quickly takes the lead and gets to the correct cable car before you do. You sit down in it as it begins to move and say, "You remembered your way around, I'm impressed." Kaworu smiles that weird smile of his again and says, "Well there's no sense in getting lost, is there?"


Kaworu holds open the large mettle door for you as you step out onto the street. He closes it and you start to walk towards your apartment block. He follows you, observing his surroundings. It was already dark outside and the street lights glowed a pale yellow.

As you climb the stairs up to the floor your apartments are on you can hear Auskas screams and yells ringing through the building. "Jesus, Shinji, I'm not packing and moving all this stuff by myself!" You were relieved to find out she was still packing so you could go prepare a room for her.

There are boxes piled up in front of your door, but Auska didn't have the key, so that was good. You peer in through the open door of Misatos apartment and see Auska ordering around poor Shinji. Choosing not to interrupt their last moment living together you say to Kaworu, "You wanna hang out at my place for a while?" He nods as he glances in at the crazy redhead.

You quietly open your door and don't say a word till you're both inside and the doors shut.

You hang up your coat and say, "So when is your stuff coming?" He shrugs , "I don't have very much, it should be here tomorrow." You nod and go to one of your storage rooms. It's big enough for a person to have a bed and dressed and a few boxes. You move out the boxes that you have in there to another bedroom sized storage room in between your room and the other one.

As you move the boxes you ask, "Hey, Kaworu, can you give me a hand moving some of these boxes, please?" He nods and smiles, "Sure." You work quickly so that when Auska comes knocking she can go right to her room.

You sigh and look at the empty room, thinking, "How can he be so happy all the time, it's weird…. Oh well I don't have time to think about that right now, I better start moving in the stuff outside my door so I don't have to talk to her to much."

Auskas yelling is still ringing out loud and clear, "I need something to eat before I go of course. Geez, Shinji hurry up, I'm starving." Kaworu comes in the room and stands beside you, "Poor, Shinji." You say, andkaworu nods, "Yeah, but he'll be living with me soon, so it'll be better." You laugh and say, "I just hope Auska doesn't yell at me like that."

You slowly open your door and pear down the hall. Auska is still inside you start taking boxes in quickly. Kaworu joins you.

Kaworu is inside and you're bending down to grab Auskaslast boxwhen she comes out the door behind Shinji, who is struggling to carry and large box. She perks up upon seeing you, and that all her boxes are gone. "Hey, Aphrodite, thanks for moving all my stuff in, that's so sweet!" You smiles, "It's ok, I had help." She gets excited, "Oh yeah, is the fifth child here? Is he hot? What's he like."

You shrugged and were about to answer when Kaworu came out of your door behind you. Auskas eyes get a wide and she shrieks, "Gross, he's just like the first child!" You hit her arm and say, "Hey, be nice." Kaworu is not smiling now and he says, "You must be Auska. Good evening." This was a huge change from what you had already become used to seeing him like.

Auska doesn't say anything for a minute then turns back to poor Shinji, who was struggling to hold the large box, and yells, "Get that box to my room, do you think you get to keep it as a souvenir?" You and Kaworu move out of her way as she follow Shinji into your apartment, barking orders the whole way.

You lead Kaworu into his room in Misatos apartment. "This is where you'll be sleeping, but I guess without a bed you'll be on the couch tonight." You lead him to the living room and see beer cans scattered about the room. You apologize, "You'll have to forgive the mess and the beer cans, Misato and Auska like to drink."

He sits down on the couch and looks around. You clap your hands together and say, "Well I guess that's it, I'll see you tomorrow." And you leave him there all by himself.

As you are about to exit the front door Shinji comes running in and grabs your arms, "Thank you Aphrodite! I owe you millions." Then he walks into the house like it's a brand new place. "Geeze, Shinji, have some tact." You comment and return to your apartment.

Auska is sitting on her bed mat in her new room looking pretty pleased. "I'm so glad I could move in here; that Shinji drives me nuts, and this room is like twice the size of my last one."

You nod, "Yeah, this used to be a rec room, but it became a storage room pretty quickly; I have a lot of stuff." She nods and says, "And now it's my room!" She seemed really happy, and she wasn't yelling or anything. You think, "Maybe this won't be so bad after all."
