Ok, so I lied about this chapter. I haven't made it yet to Nerv yet so the commander will have to wait another chapter. I couldn't help it, there was so much to write about during the school day that this chapter only made it half way thru the day. Although this chapter deals more of the kids then the cats I still find it hilarious. And I would also like to thank everyone (cough - three whole people) that put in there input for the cats name. I actually decided to go with NefCanuck's suggestion but the English meaning. Also I'm sorry for the time between updates, between finding work and life and stuff I don't have time to write as I would like. Well I hope you all enjoy this next chapter and please review. I'm begging ya here!


Round 4

Lunchbox woes

"Aww, c'mon Ayanami, please?"

"No."

"How about me, can I hold it?"

"No."

"C'mon Ayanami, let us hold it."

"No."

"But aya-"

"I said no!"

Everyone immediately took a step back from the distraught girl like she was brandishing a chain saw. For all they knew she very well might pull one out like the cat.

"No need to get friskywondergirl, so calm down before we need to declaw you." Said a bubbly Asuka. 'Sweet! I didn't think that it would really work. Good thing I brought the bottle today. This is going to be great!'"And if your good I'm sure I can get Misato to get you some catnip or something."

Twitch.

Everyone immediately took another step back as they could start to see Rei's right eye starting to twitch. With as much control she possibly had, she slowly raised her hand and flipped Asuka off. But despite being flipped off, Asuka was snickering as she had finally found the wrong button to push against Rei, and she was slamming her fist on said button. Seeing the situation starting to get out of control, Hikari stepped between the two to try to calm everyone down.

"Ok everyone, please calm down now. Now everyone, back to your seats and Ayanami just keep a hold on to… uh, what's his name?"

"I have not given a designation to this feline." replied Rei. Unfortunately this just resumed the insanity as they all started shouting names at the poor girl.

"How about Sam?" "C'mon be more creative, like how about Joe?" "Ooh! How about Sally?" "Sally? It's a boy cat!" "Everyone get back to your seats now!" "I know! How about Hugo?" "No way."

Rei could start feeling her eye starting to twitch again as the commotion around her continued. 'If they keep this up I'm going to go insane. I think that maybe I should have taken my chances with the cats outside. I swear if they do not cease this I'm…'

Asuka then showed her genius ability to push people's insanity button "I know! Since it seems to like the spot it's in, how about Bazookas? Wait never mind, It's Wondergirl, so it would more likely be named cherry bombs or something." Everyone instantly froze as they saw Ayanami appear to have start twitching rapidly.

'That's it, I'm gonna kill them all.' Rei thought in a way to calm yet creepy way.

Instantly everyone started to back away from the blue headed girl as they saw her go thru a subtle, yet frightening transformation. Her hair actually started to curl up in random directions as a broad, yet insane looking smile graced her face. They could see the veins in her arms be more pronounced from the adrenaline being pumped thru them. Some students would even go as far as say she had electricity sparking around her. Asuka took in a deep breath and held it in. 'This is it! I actually pissed her off past insanity! God I wish I had my camera right now! Oh well, I probably won't live to print the pictures after she goes postal anyways, but my god! This has got to be the happiest day of my life!'

But just as all was about to be ripped apart by Rei, a small voice from the back of the room finally made itself known since the school day began. "How about naming him Blue? After all he does have the same exotic hair color as you so it would be a nice name for him."

Everyone turned to see that Shinji Ikari had just gave a name suggestion. Many were already making vows to haunt him after their death for pushing a near going postal Rei some more. But as they turned back for their presumed demise they faltered a bit. Rei had stopped in mid postal transformation and thought for a second. Then her features softened and returned to normal. "That is an acceptable name. I believe I will name him Blue."

Everyone immediately face faulted at this. Poor Asuka was the worst. Her jaw had dropped as far down as it could go with her eyes as wide as saucers. She looked like if you poke her with a stick she would fall over and shatter. 'So… close… why?'She then slowly turned to the cause of her robbed victory. Shinji immediately turned white as he saw the fiery death glare he was receiving from Asuka. As soon as it dawned that he probably wouldn't live to see lunch, he took off outside like his life depended on it. And luck would have it, his speed would prove to save his life as Asuka ran after him wielding a miniature version of her prog knife. Afterwards, the rest of the class sat down and resumed their day, all the while taking glances at Rei with her kitten's head sticking out her collar. The only disturbance during the rest of the morning would be the sound of yelling and screaming of Shinji being chased by Asuka outside in the halls.

Finally lunch had arrived and everyone had decided to eat in the cafeteria since it was a hot day. The three stooges were sitting together with Hikari and a slightly simmering Asuka. Poor Shinji kept looking between Asuka and the prog knife sticking out of the table. 'Dear god, When did Nerv make a chibi working prog knife? And who's brilliant idea was it to give her one?!'


Two weeks prior

"Finally! It's done!" yelled an excited Asuka. She stood in the middle of an old abandon lab/workshop that Nerv didn't use anymore. Her appearance would surprise anyone who saw her at that moment. She had her hair pulled back in a pony tail while wearing some store bought reading glasses to help her magnify and read small things. With a tool belt under her lab coat and tools sticking out her pockets, someone who would pass by at a glance would just think that it was Dr. Akagi with dyed red hair. Holding up over her head was a miniature version of her Unit 02's prog knife. But this was far superior to it's original design. After Asuka had "borrowed" some of Akagi's notes, she created something that would make the original look like a rubber knife.

'Sweet! Mini S2 organ in the format of a 1 gig computer chip means unlimited energy for the knife! The S2 chip also means unlimited blades as they are regenerated and also will never dull! Plus I can activate an improved A.T. field that is enough to not only protect the user but make it undetectable to the Magi. And of course it's Mp3 compatible! Dr. Akagi has nothing on my intelligence!'


Back to present

Shinji was seriously considering his escape routes as he looked on as Asuka was now somehow listening to music from her knife. Even Hikari had moved slightly away from the red head as she looked like she was petting her mp3/knife thingy. "Umm, Asuka, just exactly how did you get a glowing knife that can play music?" asked the slightly nervous class rep. "What? This little toy, it was pretty easy to make. I even put an S2 organ into it for unlimited energy."

Everyone just stared slack jawed at her. Finally Shinji snapped out of his stupor, "You made that and you put an S2 organ in there?!" Asuka just nodded. "They haven't figured out how to put an S2 organ in our Eva's and your telling me you have found a way to put one in a knife?"

Asuka just beamed with pride for what she was going to say, "It's not my fault that our scientists are idiots. Here, I'll prove it." She then extended her knife and broke off two pieces of her knife. Then to everyone's amazement, it regenerated on the inside that housed the extra segments of the blade. Poor Shinji was now on the verge of a mental break down. 'Dear god, do you hate me that much? If she can make that and call it a toy I'm afraid what she could make if I really piss her off. I am so dead.'

"This is nothing yet though. The past week I've been working on a way to add an actual pair of balls to your Eva so when you get hit there the pain will transfer to you." Asuka gave a big sigh, "When it's complete and we do the simulators I'm gonna have so much fun kicking you every moment I can. I'm also configuring a way to add enhancers to Unit 02's right leg to improve on the force delivered. But I keep running into a power problem. My design can't be supported by the Eva's current power plug. I'm gonna have to make an S2 battery or something to get the extra power I need."

Just as Shinji began to wallow in self pity and Hikari making mental notes never to piss off Asuka, a crash was heard from the front of the cafeteria. There at the front was a panting Rei with Blue poking out her collar. On the other side of the glass door was five cats pawing at it trying to get to her. She made her way over to the stooges, Hikari, and the second child. "Mew."

"Hi there Blue" "Hello Blue" "Yo Blue"

Rei could no doubt feel her eye begin to twitch again as she witnessed her fellow peers greet her kitten while they completely ignored her. But just as she was about to kill the stooges and class rep (hey she may be going postal, but she's not dumb. Asuka + petting knife means stay the hell away) Shinji came to the unknown rescue of his classmates again. "Hi there Ayanami. You look pretty tired, you should get some food to charge yourself up."

Rei calmed down and began to look around the table and noticed that they had the whole selection of meals available that day. Hamburgers, Pork chops, or drumsticks. "unfortunately it looks like I will not be eating today seeing how they are only serving meat products."

"You know Ayanami, if you would eat some meat it would give you the protein and energy to outrun your little friends a bit more than your standard diet." Toji explained while he was salivating over his now fully dressed hamburger. Rei looked at Toji as though he was a savior who knew the meaning of life. "Is this true Suzahara?"

"Yup, that's why you'll never see me on a vegan's diet!" Toji shouted with closed eyes as he went to grab his burger. When he grabbed nothing but air he opened his eyes and saw that his meal was missing. "Alright who gra-" He stopped mid yell. In front of him he saw everyone's jaws wide open with Shinji pointing to his left. He looked to his left and thought he must have been in a dream. There was his burger alright, being devoured by one Rei Ayanami. No one dared say a word for fear that the universe might fold onto itself or such.

Rei looked up from the half eaten burger at her classmates and decided to give an explanation before they went into cardiac arrest. "I am currently ill prepared for the crisis I am currently experiencing. So if eating meat will help I am willing to try anything." All the while she gave this explanation, Blue decided to take a few bites of the meat himself and gave a content baby meow.

"Um, look Ayanami, first off that was my burger! What right do you have that-" SLAM!

Poor toji had his head rammed into the table by Rei as she continued to eat the burger with her other hand. Toji promptly collapsed into a heap on the ground as spurts of blood sprayed out his nose. A small whimper could barely be heard from him as he drifted towards dream land, "I mean, go right on ahead…"

And with that said, no one else dare opposed Rei during the meal. Hell, even Asuka was feeling a little bit nervous as she gripped her prog knife a little tighter. Which of course, that action was making poor Shinji a little more panicked then normal.


Well I hoped you liked this chapter, please don't forget to review now! Next chapter: the rest of the school day and finally getting to Gendo. Honest. I mean it. It will happen! I think…
