"Where did she go?!" asked a uniformed officer.
Panting, his partner replied, "Damn, she's fast!"
"She is injured so she won't go anywhere far" he responded. "Anyway, let's continue searching."
A crimson set of eyes watched as the two police officers moved farther from her location. Judging it was safe, she stealthy run towards the opposite direction.
----------========== ooO Angel Assassin Ooo ==========----------
It was a fine afternoon in Tokyo 3 Municipal Junior High School. The bell has just rung signaling the end of the day and groups of students can be seen coming out of the main campus gates. Many of them are planning on how to spend their weekend seeing as it was a Friday, other talk about some mundane subject and a few about a specific person whose heart they want to capture.
One such group, dubbed 'The Three Stooges' by one of their peers is seen walking together leisurely.
"So, Shin-man! What about your plan this weekend? You finally gonna ask that red devil out?" a young boy designated as a 'Jock' asked.
"W-what are you talking about?!" The boy in question stammered. "Asuka and I, w-we're just childhood friends".
"Stop embarrassing Iron Chef Shinji, Touji. It's as if you are faring well with your little miss freckles" the third stooge and military otaku said.
Putting the latter friend on a headlock, Touji retorted "O-oh yeah? Like you are doing any better than me , Kensuke."
Sighing, Shinji told his friends to stop. "Besides, I had to go to the convenience store to gather supplies. After that, I need to prepare dinner before my guardian does."
Kensuke snickered, responding "You would make a very good wife someday, Shinji."
"Ha ha! Well, hope the red devil would propose to him soon!" inserted Touji, embarrassing the young boy more. "Oh, and Mari says thank you for the cookies. It means so much to us that both of you visit my sister"
"Its fine Touji, your little sister was fun to be with." smiled Shinji "Just tell me what she wants and I will make a batch for her. I do hope she gets well soon."
"Well, according to the doctors she should be out by next week. We really owe it to your dad that the guy who hit and run her was caught." Said the bespectacled otaku.
With a shy smile, Shinji spoke "Well, that's the commander for you. He maybe a little bit odd but my dad is cool that way."
"So he is." Touji said amused. "Well, just don't forget arcade tomorrow, okay?"
"Sure!" the 2 stooges replied before going their own separate destinations.
----------========== ooO Angel Assassin Ooo ==========----------
"I must seek shelter." She thought. "The mission cannot fail."
Running from roof to roof, she can feel her strength ebbing away from her. Escaping from her pursuers, she had yet to rest her weary body. It was then that she felt dizzy and finally, she felt herself hurtling towards a window.
++++++++++ ~~~Angel Assassin~~~ ++++++++++
Dropping his groceries on the floor, Shinji fished out his keys from his pockets. He had been living in Apartment 402 for six months now together with his adopted sister/guardian, Misato Katsuragi. He decided to separate a while back since he was always pressured by his parents to take a more active role in the law enforcement field his father commands.
Entering the dark apartment, he switched the light on and proceeded to clear the groceries and start making dinner.
"Wark!" a penguin greeted Shinji on the kitchen.
"Oh, hi Pen-Pen. I guess Misato is not home yet." Said the boy to the flightless avian. "Let me just cut this up and I'll give you your food, okay?"
"Wark!" replied Pen-Pen to his owner.
About halfway through the dinner preparation, a loud crash was heard coming from Shinji's "Lovely Suite" as his guardian refers to it. He ran and checked what could have caused the said noise and was shocked and awed at the same time with what he saw. There laying unconscious in his room is a (stunningly beautiful) girl who seemed to be of his age.
"A-are you o-okay?" Shinji mentally slapped himself for that rhetorical question "of course she isn't okay, you idiot! She's unconscious."
Deciding to act, he approached the girl to check up on her status.
++++++++++ ~~~Angel Assassin~~~ ++++++++++
She sensed it. Someone was approaching her. However, the feeling emanating from the person was unfamiliar. She had long ago learned how to sense the fear or hate that usually emanates from her pursuers but this, this individual, seems to give off a different air.
Gathering what remains of her strength, she willed herself to stand up and focus should the person proved to be an adversary. What she saw is a young boy probably of her age. Staring directly in the person's eye to intimidate, she instead was lost to his calm blue eyes. What happened next was something she never expected to happen. Her heart skipped a beat.
As the last of her strength left her, her last thought of the enigma before her was "Who are you?"
++++++++++ ~~~Angel Assassin~~~ ++++++++++
"How beautiful." Were the only words that resounded on Shinji's mind. He reacted instinctively when the girl who suddenly stood up and looked at him with alluring crimson orbs suddenly fainted. He cradled her on his lap carefully and felt her forehead.
"Oh my God, She's burning!" Frantically, he grabbed his mobile and called his supposed guardian.
Meanwhile, on the opposite part of the city, we see a gorgeous woman on her late twenties together with her best friend. They are inside some certain popular hangout drinking and partying the night way.
"Are you going to answer that?" Asked her faux blonde friend.
"Nah." Misato, drinking her Yebisu. "Shinji-kun just probably wants to check up and convince me again to go home early."
Raising her eyebrow, Ritsuko said "And here I thought you are his guardian."
Misato just stuck her tongue out and pushed the call function of her phone. Only to be met with the 'Battery Low' message.
"Hey Rits, can I borrow your phone? Mine just died on me." Says the purple haired woman.
"Sorry Misato, mine is still under repair after the last time you borrowed it." Was the reply she received.
"Damn."
Shinji sighed. It seems he cannot contact Misato. He had already set his 'guest' on his bed and is already tending to her with a cool towel and some blankets. Gazing at her, Shinji contemplated on how she looks. From her azure hair, cropped short and framing her face to her pale skin that looks like porcelain. He unconsciously brushed her messy mop of hair to get a better view of her face.
"Wark!" A cry awakened Shinji from his trance. "P-Pen-Pen! Don't surprise me like that!"
He walked to the kitchen and set on a plate some sardines for the water fowl to eat. Shinji then continued to prepare a simple vegetarian dinner while Pen-pen dragged his food and uncharacteristically opened the television to watch his nightly soap. It is the episode where the lead guy would marry the lead female and the penguin won't miss it for the world.
++++++++++ ~~~Angel Assassin~~~ ++++++++++
"Where am I?" She asked herself. "Who am I?"
"Do you, Rei Ayanami, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
Her eyes widened as, she saw, beside her was a brown haired boy dressed in a tuxedo whose cool blue eye's gaze made her feel an indescribable feeling. It was an unknown feeling but she had deemed it as… acceptable.
She faced the person who earlier asked her and said in a monotone voice "Yes."
"You may now kiss the bride!" the penguin in front of them finally announced.
Although looking calm, she happily obliged.
++++++++++ ~~~Angel Assassin~~~ ++++++++++
No word can describe what Shinji is feeling at the moment. One minute he was checking the temperature of his patient, and next, he was grabbed and is now engaged in what he can only describe as his first kiss.
"So soft." Was the last coherent thought he had when finally, Shinji's over stimulated mind crashed. And he promptly fainted.
----------========== ooO Angel Assassin Ooo ==========----------
Asuka was pissed. That is evident by a trail of disaster to those who was unfortunate enough to have crossed paths with the fiery haired beauty. Her mother, Kyoko Zeppelin Sohryuu, has again forgotten to send for her allowance. It was bad enough that she wasn't always at home due to her work in NERV Institute and now, she had to go to Shinji to get a free meal again. Not that she minded though, Shinji is her childhood friend after all. Add to the fact that it seems that he had been somewhat been blessed by the gods in regards to cooking.
"Maybe it wasn't so bad Mama forgot my allowance after all." She mused as her mood shifted in remembrance of Shinji's kitchen skills. "Wonder what he is cooking for breakfast."
A smile crept to her lips as she hurried to apartment 402.
++++++++++ ~~~Angel Assassin~~~ ++++++++++
"Really, Misato." An unshaven man spoke. "I am not your personal chauffeur."
"Oh, come on, Kaji. You know you love to serve helpless beautiful ladies like us." Misato said sweetly.
Giggling, Ritsuko added, "Of course, that depends on how you define the word. Misato can take a fully grown goon and live to tell the tale."
"Hey! I thought you're my best friend?" whined Misato between her friends laughter.
"Just remember Misato, we have a date tonight." Kaji spoke seriously afterwards.
Misato sighed. The date that Kaji implied is another investigation about the assassin code named Angel Lilith the 'Ice Queen'. The said person is one of the Seventeen Angels of Death, a group of assassins that has eluded the Tokyo-3 police force for quite some time. It was hypothesized that they are under command of a higher power. Capturing one of the Angels is important if they want to crack this case.
She finally spoke. "Well, Section 2 reported that she escaped after the attempted assassination of the commander. Hopefully, we can get some sort of trail that will lead us to her whereabouts."
"Wonder why the Angels would target the commander." The blonde said.
"Your guess is as good as mine." Kaji offered. "Anyhow, the last officers that pursued her said that she looked almost on the verge of collapse before they lost sight of her."
"Let's just talk about this later. Shinji is probably preparing some nice breakfast for me and I don't want to ruin it." Misato finalized their conversation as they neared their destination.
++++++++++ ~~~Angel Assassin~~~ ++++++++++
A car containing 2 adults sped towards the streets of Tokyo-3. The bearded man behind the wheel gives off an aura of intimidation while his companion was a picture of peace.
"Are you sure about this, Gendo?" the woman finally spoke.
Keeping his sunglass covered eyes on the road, Gendo smiled to his wife, "Of course, Yui. After that encounter, I just had to see my family complete."
He gave a squeeze of Yui's hand and continued. "Besides, I kind of miss Shinji. It has been six month since he moved in to Misato's."
Yui returned a smile to her husband. "I know how you feel, Gendo. I miss him as well."
"I should not have forced the idea on him. I never thought he will pack up and leave." Said the man bitterly.
"Don't blame yourself, dear. You have only thought for the best at that time." she gave him a comforting gaze, "Shinji is old enough to take care of himself. I am proud that you taught him that."
"Thank you, love." She kissed Gendo's cheek ."You're welcome. Now, put up a happy face so we can surprise Shinji."
Never did it occur to them that they are in for an even bigger surprise.
++++++++++ ~~~Angel Assassin~~~ ++++++++++
Inside the 'Lovely Suite', as if by some good (or bad, whichever way you look at it) luck, 2 young teens lie close to each other. The boy had, for the first time, overslept from his usual early bird routine. His unconsciously held his bedmate nearer as if wanting to feel more of her. The girl, having had her first ever dream, snuggled closer to the warm body she shared the bed with. What was more; she had the faintest trace of a contented smile on her lips. None of them realizes what the next half hour would bring.
----------========== ooO Angel Assassin Ooo ==========----------
Call it anything you want. In fact, you can even call it an 'Act of God'. However, that doesn't change the fact that in front of Apartment Room no. 402, Gendo and Yui Ikari, Misato Katsuragi and Asuka Langley Sohryuu found each other.
"Uncle, Auntie! This is a surprise!" Misato greeted the persons who were her second parents.
"Guten Morgen, Uncle Gendo and Auntie Yui! Never knew you would visit Shinji today." The German-blooded girl chimed in with a smile.
Yui smiled at both girls. "Yes, it was a last minute decision by Gendo to have a sort of family reunion."
"Today is as good as any day." Gendo held his wife close. "We want to have some family bonding even if we are busy with our works."
"That would be nice." Said the guardian as she invited her adopted parents and her ward's childhood friend inside the apartment.
The first thing that they have noticed upon entering is that it is quiet. Second is that Shinji, known to his peers as an early riser, was not awake. Only his bag on the sofa indicates that he is at home. Curious at this unusual break of habit, the four individual proceeded to his room.
"I wonder if he is calling sick when he ringed me." Voiced Shinji's flat mate. "He was fine when he left for school yesterday though."
Gendo looked at his adopted daughter in a assuring voice "We will see."
Yui opened the door wide enough for everyone to see the young occupant. If it was possible, all of them should have seizures by now. Or at least have their mouth frothing. Their unbelieving eyes are trying to erase the vision that they are seeing. There, on the bed lies the shy and usually introverted Shinji Ikari. The ice breaker; he is currently sleeping with a girl and both are hugging each other in what could be only described as intimate.
The girl unconsciously rolled away for a moment but that was enough disturbances to awake the beds other occupant. Was he in for such a ride.
++++++++++ ~~~Angel Assassin~~~ ++++++++++
Shinji groggily sat up on his bed. Rubbing the sleep out of his eyes, he was greeted by the frozen stares of not only his guardian/flat mate, but also of his parents and childhood friend. The stares that they were giving him was making him highly uncomfortable so he decided to break the ice.
"Um, hi Mom, Dad, Asuka and Misato." He greeted cautiously.
"Shinji." That brought his mind into full alert. The voice came not from the four persons who just shifted their gawking looks to owner of the voice. He slowly turned his head and at the sight of the blue haired girl, all the memories of last night returned to him. If there ever was a record on how red a face can be from blushing, Shinji would have definitely set a new one as he remembered his stolen first kiss.
And then the girl stirred. She was still sleepy and her body sought the heat that made her feel comfortable while she slept. She reluctantly opened her eyes to gaze at the heat source's blue eyes and give him a peck on the lips.
"W-who the hell is she, Shinji?!" snapped Asuka, the kiss broke whatever hypnotism that was used on her.
The albino looked at the fiery teen and spoke in a unusually monotone voice. "My name is Rei Ayanami, spouse of Shinji Ikari."
At once, five minds have formed a coherent thought and a united shout was heard.
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT?!!"
To be continued.
