A.N. Thanks to everyone who reviewed my one-shot which I may or may not continue. I got the inspiration to write the first few chapters from Neon Genesis Evangelion: InEVitAbility by squall.leonhart.ff8. Well this idea of this fic is to see how the characters would develop after spending fours years fighting the Angels while still having their parents with them and seeing how relations will develop over the years. Includes AU and OOC.
Evangelion: Wherever it takes us, I'll be there
Chapter 1
In the dead of night somewhere in the mega city of Tokyo 3 a young man suddenly wakes up in his room covered in sweat.
I had that dream again, it's the third time this weak and it's only Wednesday and I'm covered in sweat again , wonderful, looks I have to get some new sheets hope mom won't notice.
Looking round his room to his bedside where his alarm clock illuminated 04:00. He decides then to stay awake and comprehend about what had happened.
It's the same dream again; I was looking over a sea of blood red water next to my best friend covered in bandages, her left arm in a casket with an eye patch on her left eye. I look straight one seeing a huge figure of a young girl whose skin was the purest of white which reminded me of death. For some reason a sense of fear enveloped me, when I looked a round seeing corpses of large humans littered in the sea of red and at that moment I woke up, drenched in sweat.
He then decided that it would best to take an early shower to get rid of all the sweat as well as clean his bed. His room was simple it had a work desk with his laptop, some scrapes of paper and a curios looking seashell but the one thing that he valued most was a photo of his family and with his friends namely a special red head which appeared in his dream with her mom during a trip they toke four years ago. Elsewhere in his room was his cello which was kept in the corner of his room, safe in its black case with the initials I.S on the front of it written in silver. Other than that this room was very much Spartan with the exception of the queen sized bed.
He finished his shower and glanced toward the mirror observing his face on the reflection.
I am already fourteen and I still look like a ten year old boy, no facial hair whatsoever or anything else.
He went over his bed and cleared up the mess that he made, when he was finished he looked to his alarm clock on his bed side table, it was beeping 4:30.
Still too early to make breakfast or make a bento.
He moved to his desk and turned on his laptop and glanced to the photo on the desk giving him a small smile reminding him of that trip that they took, the sights, the smells, the indigestion. When his laptop finished loading up he opened up his music file and decided to go for Michael Buble's"Home". This was one of his favorite songs that he would listen to whenever he was awake in the early morning which was of late has became too often for his liking . He opened up Firefox and opened up his Gmail account to see if there where any new messages from anyone as usual there was nothing new. He decided it was best not to open up Windows Live Massager since no one he knew would be online at this hour on a weekday. He began to look up the local and international news sites to find out what's been going on as well as look up a site to try to intemperate his dreams. But before he could do that his alarm clock suddenly went off.
It five already, better make breakfast.
He went out of his room and headed toward the kitchen. It was a daily occurrence for him to get up early to make breakfast for everyone as well as a bento for himself as well as another for Asuka.
I wonder which one would Asuka like the seafood or red meat who am I kidding she'll kill me if I gave her seafood or anything remotely Japanese.
He was the only one with any real amplitude for cooking although his mom does make some very nice cakes on occasion although that has become more of a rarity in recent years due to work.
Come to think about it I don't have a clue what their job is, never really thought about it, maybe I should ask about it.
As the though passed the sound of a door opening entered the kitchen.
Earlier that usual, must be something important.
"Good morning son."
Shinji turned to face his mother. He noticing that she hadn't has much slept lately and was still in her pajamas. He had a wave of déjà vu pass over him.
Hmm, this feels an awful lot like yesterday.
With that thought he suddenly remembered that both his parents had been working late for the past few weeks.
They must really be busy at work.
"Good morning, coffee or tea" Shinji looking at his mom with a polite smile every time he said that in the morning.
"Tea and Shinji do me a favor and wake up your dad."
"Sure thing."
Yup diffidently déjà vu.
He went straight to his parent's room. The door was partial opened and seeing the figure of his father was still in bed even with the alarm clock at full volume.
This is the third day in a row, hell I had to wake him up for the past couple of months.
The most the Shinji could recover about where they worked was that they worked for the same employer. He then proceeded to knocked on the door but before he did he heard his dad mumbled that he'd be up.
Shinji went back to the kitchen was his mom was having a go at the sandwiches that he made for them. He went to make some green tea when he heard his mom speak to him.
"You're earlier that usual, have you been having wet dreams again because I see you keep changing your bed sheets again today."
"MOM!"
"Don't worry this happens all the time for healthy young men your age, it's all about growing up."
"Well actually…"
Before he could finish his sentence his dad entered still in his pajamas into the kitchen looking like he hadn't had a good night off of weeks.
"Tea."
"Coming right up."
Well at least I don't have to wake him up again unlike that incident last week I was almost late for class that day.
The small family set together and ate quietly. Normally they would talk to each other but recently everyone has been too tired to say anything. Shinji then decided to break the silence.
"Umm, Mum what exactly do you two do."
His mother suddenly looked at him straight in the eye with a very worried look on her face a face that screamed horror. His father then looked at him with a small grin in his face and replied.
"Well you see we are working to ensure a better tomorrow."
"What does that mean?"
"Well you see..."
Suddenly the sound of the front door bell rang throughout the apartment.
It must be Asuka-chan, is it really seven already.
Looking at the kitchen clock conformed it. Shinji then walked towards the door and opened to door reviling one very feisty German red head.
"Good morning Asuka-chan." his face instantly brightening to a warm shade of red.
"I see that you're already up, well I want to be early for once so let's get going."
"Alright I'll get my bag."
Asuka went inside and greeted Shinji parents and joined them in the kitchen, grapping the last sandwich on the table. She sat down on an unoccupied chair where Shinji was previously.
Must had have a long day at work, they're normally more chatty that this, I wonder why Shinji-kun up so early, could he be having that same dream again.
Before she could continue on that thought Shinji busted into the scene bag in hand.
"Ok got my stuff I'll be going now bye mom, bye dad."
"Bye uncle, bye aunty."
"Walk safely you two and have fun in school."
Shinji could only give a sarcastic laugh every time he hear his mom say that "Ya sure thing mom."
They both left leaving the two adults in the apartment alone.
"Wow that was a close one; you should have seen the look on your face Yui."
Yui then gave him a look that would have a chill thought even the most hardened of men. All Gendo did was smile.
"Are you sure were doing the right thing Gendo."
"What do you mean?"
"Well we never every told him about what we actually do and…"
She was cut off before she could complete what she wanted to say when Gendo put his hand on hers trying to stop her from busting into tears
"Don't worry everything will turn out all right"
"I hope so"
Both of them looked into each other's eyes like when they first met in college and shared a soft kiss before praying in their hearts that everything that they have worked for the last fourteen years of their life will come to fruition.
A.N: For everyone wondering, I made Shinji more normal since he's been living with his parents his whole life and didn't have to go thought hell like he did in the series though he'll still be a bit on the shy side. Asuka living with her mom and kinda mellowed her down a bit. The only other major difference I made to was that she's no longer an elite test tube baby but had a normal father so she shouldn't be a prodigy (don't flame me if anyone says that you don't have to be an elite test tube baby to be a prodigy, actually along the same line why isn't Shinji one since both his parent as far as I understand were geniuses or near geniuses at least)
Can someone proof read for me?
Please review; please note any spelling or grammar mistakes I made
