Foreword: Yes… That's right, boys and girls, I'm back! And I'm also freakin' sorry… I got side tracked, and forgot about this story… I just… I'm just glad to say I'm back, and I'll finish it up soon.

A VERY Special Thanks To: Draknal, for keeping on my ass until I finally got mobilized, and kept working on this. Thanks, man. And also… THANKS FOR THE LINES!!!!! He helped me out with some of the lines in the story… very funny ones at that… And also, a website devoted to chopping stuff up in blenders. It rules so much.

"Now everybody, take your seats… I see that Mr. Nagisa is absent today…" The teacher quickly jotted a tiny note in his grade book, marking him as missing.

Shinji frowned deeply, murmuring, "That's unlike him… he always shows up for school… especially since today is chicken wing day. He swore he'd never miss that lunch." Shinji slumped a tiny bit in his seat, and sighed.

Asuka, rolling her eyes, impatiently tapped Shinji on the shoulder. "Oh, sit up straight, Dummkopf. I'm sure your vulgar friend is prowling about somewhere." She leaned in closer, with her soft, red hair tickling the back of his neck. Whispering quietly, she gave his shoulder a gentle squeeze, "Don't sweat the little things, Shinji…"

The young man reached up and placed his own hand over his girlfriend's, smiling lightly. "Thanks, Asuka…"

Asuka simply winked at him, and sat back. After a few silent moments, the girl looked around the class. "Awfully silent today. Where're the stooges?"

(-(-(-(-.-)-)-)-)

"Gah! It's freaking locked! That stupid teacher always locks the damn door once the bell rings!" Toji grimaced and punched the locker nearest to him, as he looked at Kensuke.

The nerd simply shook his head, "Don't look at me, buddy! I don't know how to pick a lock!"

"Oh yeah, well I can sure give it a try!" Toji immediately set to the lock, in an attempt to open the door.

"Tch…" A pale hand roughly shoved both boys away from the door. "Amateurs." The young man backed up and leaned against the lockers on the other side of the hallway, with a devious grin on his face.

(-(-(-(-.-)-)-)-)

"So you see, since the Second Impact, the rising water levels ha-"

A loud crash, and the squeal of hinges being ripped off of the door frame rang out in the room like an N2 Mine.

Picking himself up from the ground, Kaworu smiled like a demon, and flicked his hair out of his eyes. "Gee, Teach. You might wanna get these doors checked out, y'know? They seem pretty flimsy to me."

The teacher paused, staring at the silver haired boy, who stood on the fallen door dominantly. "Mr. Nagisa… doors are not to be used in that manner." Readjusting his glasses, the old, and most likely senile teacher began his rambling about Second Impact.

With an arrogant look, Kaworu turned to the class and raised his arms, pointing to himself. "And all of you may rejoice. Yes, I am here. Don't worry, there's enough of me to go around for every hot girl." Winking, he finished his thought with a smile, "But I gotta save a little bit of myself for a special chica who just can't make it into my glorious presence today."

'Who could…? No… he can't mean Rei… can he?' Shinji buried his head in his arms, and growled in frustration into his desk. 'Kaworu probably couldn't even get Rei to say "Hi"! Ugh, this is a disaster…'

Strutting to his seat, Kaworu slapped Shinji on the shoulder. "Told ya, dude. No way in hell am I missin' chicken wings!" The young man slung himself into a seat, and put his legs up on the desk to the front and left of him. He winked at the girl whose seat it was, giving her a coy smile.

The girl, who happened to be Hikari Horaki, simply scoffed, and continued paying attention to the teacher.

Kaworu smiled once again, and addressed the Class Representative, "Lookin' pretty nice today. You dress up just for me?"

Blushing furiously, the freckled girl turned to him, and stammered, "I-I beg your pardon?"

"Just messin' with you." Kaworu winked at her and leaned in closer. He whispered, "I already know you got your eyes on somebody else." He sat back in his seat and made a zipping motion to his lips.

Nodding slowly, Hikari shot a look of mixed relief and appreciation.

Shinji sat still in his seat, like a zombie, with a blank look on his face. 'Kaworu? Rei? I thought he was just running his mouth! Oh man… although… if it works…'

Kaworu looked over at Shinji and gave him a tiny shove on the shoulder, saying, "What's up with you? Asuka got your tongue? Heh, oh wait… that was last night. Heheh, my bad, dude." Chuckling to himself, Kaworu glanced back at Asuka, who was a deep shade of red, due to blushing.

Shinji looked like his head was going to explode from all of the blood amassing within it. His face was beet red, caught in a blush. "Wh-What?! No! M-My tongue stay-"

Rising from her seat, the red headed demon began screaming, "Pervert!" A loud crack rang out in the room, as Asuka shouted.

Kaworu grinned wearily, and looked ready to pass out. Glancing down at the laptop around his neck, he chuckled, "Thanks, Asuka… I guess I can start a new trend…" With that said, his head promptly drooped, and he fell unconscious.

Looking mortified, Shinji looked from Asuka, to Kaworu, and back again. "A-Asuka… you just…"

"Oh, alright, fine!" Asuka blurted, as she walked over to Kaworu's desk. As she walked, she mumbled, "I hate it when you look at me like that… it's like kicking a dog." Asuka nudged the silver haired boy in the head gently, then twice, much harder, after she hadn't gotten even a groan from him. Finally, Asuka rolled her eyes, and whispered under her breath, "Hot chicks washing cars in bikinis… Oh God… I can't believe I said that…"

"Chicks? Cars? Bikinis? Where?!" Kaworu immediately shot up from his desk, looking around for the promised spectacle. Seeing nothing, he frowned and rubbed a pale hand to his neck, feeling the red blood trickling down, and into his hands. "Liar… that was just mean… trickin' a guy like that…" he mumbled grumpily at Asuka.

"The shattered screen and scraps within the computer must have cut him…" Asuka whispered, with a pang of guilt in her voice. She was apparently sorry that she had caused him so much harm.

Nonchalantly, he simply strolled over to the broken down door, and began to step outside, into the hallway.

The teacher, finally brought out of his oblivious state from rambling about Second Impact, looked over at the young man, who was standing on the door, and said, "Are you going somewhere, Mr. Nagi… What is around your-"

"Yeah… I'm sorta like… bleeding from the jugular veins or somethin' like that… It's pretty bad. So, yeah, I'll see you in about twenty minutes." Kaworu shrugged, and left the room, with all of its occupants astounded.

(-(-(-(-.-)-)-)-)

Grunting in exertion, Kaworu gripped the metal husk of the laptop, and completely ripped it off of his body. "God damn. She hits freakin' hard… dunno how Shinji does it… She's a complete spitfire… I know she's hot, but that dude must be either a masochistic freak, or he just sees the good in everybody… " Shrugging, he grinned, "Nah, it's both, and they got some sort of connection … or something stupid like that. Just seem like they hit it off."

Grabbing hold of his neck, he applied steady pressure to the gashes. "This thing's bleeding like a bitch! What the hell's up with this?" His eyes narrowed, and his thought to himself, 'I know I ain't human… but even so… losin' a bunch of blood like this ain't good for me… Gotta patch myself up somehow…'

The young man simply strolled down the hallway, until he came across the stairs, and another erudite walking up them. The nerdy-looking kid, who was obviously younger than Kaworu, seemed to try his best to run away, but Kaworu caught a hold of his tie at the top of the stairs.

Blood trickling from the neck, Kaworu lifted up his leg, and placed it on the kid's chest, and delivered a kick that pushed him down the steps. "I need this."

Fastening the tie around his neck, he made an innocent face and said, "Ooh! Look at me! I jacked up my pants for my first day of school, and I studied all summer!" Scoffing in disgust, Kaworu began to secure the strip of cloth around his wounds, scathingly grumbling, "Pfft, prick."

(-(-(-(-.-)-)-)-)

"Rei?"

"Yes, Commander." Rei looked away from the window, and stared directly into the sunglasses of the intimidating Gendo Ikari.

Gendo stared back at her, showing absolutely no emotion. "Have you had any visitors?"

"Yes, Commander," came Rei's default response.

Pushing the sunglasses back up on the bridge of his nose, the Commander stared coldly down at her. "And… who were these visitors?" Of course, being the Supreme Commander of NERV, he already knew exactly who had been in and out of the room, down to the exact amount of time each person had been in contact with her.

"Pilots Ikari and Sohryu visited me for a short time. Both were kind, surprisingly, as I was under the impression that Pilot Sohryu did not enjoy my company. Major Katsuragi and Doctor Akagi also visited for a brief time… and…" Rei turned her focus back to the window, as her mind flashed pictures of Kaworu before her.

"And…? By your lack of finishing the sentence, I assume that there was at least one more guest." He knew that the silver haired youth, known as Kaworu Nagisa had paid Rei a visit… a visit exponentially longer than any of the others.

"There was one other… another student in my class. He is known as Kaworu Nagisa."

"I see… and what did you and this… Nagisa converse about?" At this point, Gendo had no idea what Rei would answer him with. She seemed quite distracted at the moment, but he was determined to obtain answers. Even with his stature, he could not get any way to figure out what dialogue passed between them. He could only know for a fact that the boy was there.

Rei blinked for a moment, and her head jerked back slightly, but not enough for anybody to notice. She felt herself smiling at the memory of Kaworu. Trying her hardest to suppress a blush, the blue haired patient said, "He was… he refused to leave. He simply came in to speak with me, or so he said… He was… talking at me, for a long time…"

"Very well… I shall have security bar him from entering this room."

"N-No… I… It was no trouble at all…" She turned her head, staring straight into Gendo's shrouded eyes, unflinching. She felt something inside of her set off, as she knew what Gendo would do if he caught Kaworu visiting her. "In fact, I insist that Kaworu Nagisa be granted access to this room. I enjoy his company, and I am inclined to believe that the converse is true as well."

"Indeed…" Gendo simply turned around and stalked out of the room, as if he had just been severely offended.

"Why…? Why did I act in such a way?" she whispered, staring calmly out the window, and at the scenery. Almost seamlessly, her vision switched to mental pictures of Kaworu, and she felt her lips turn upwards into a smile once again. This time, the blush ran rampant across her face. "So…" the reclusive girl mused, "It seems that I do have a reason to, smile after all…"

(-(-(-(-.-)-)-)-)

Asuka sat in her seat with a downtrodden look upon her face. She was so wrapped up in herself that she didn't even notice the bell ringing, signifying that it was lunch time.

She felt a tender and still somewhat timid hand grip her shoulder. "Asuka…? It's… lunch time."

Snapping out of her spaced-out mode, her pupils refocused, as she stared into Shinji's eyes. "Oh…"

"Asuka, are you alright? I'm… worried about you, you know? I… I don't like seeing you like… this…" Shinji plucked a few errant locks of hair hanging down on her forehead and tucked them behind her ear.

She simply sat in silence, staring at the surface of her obviously pseudo-wood desk.

Frowning, Shinji bit his lip. He knelt down next to Asuka, and stared into her eyes, though she wasn't looking back. With a gentle smile, he slipped his arms under her, and picked her up, carrying her for a few steps, before she squirmed out of his grasps.

"What do you think you're doing, you pervert?" Asuka seemed to relish these words, as she said them with a large grin gracing her face. "If you wanted to hold my glorious body that much, why didn't you just say so." Winking, Asuka closed the distance between them, and breathily whispered into his ear, "You know I'd let you…"

His face was beet red, as the dreaded blush overtook him. "I, um… Er… Asuka!" Shinji finally calmed down once the girl had moved back a few steps. "You really had me worried, Asuka…" He took her hand, and the two began their trek to the teen-infested cafeteria.

"I… I'm just sorta mad at myself… for earlier…" Asuka gripped his hand even tighter, and rubbed at her eye furiously with her free hand, as if wiping away unseen tears. "I… I really overreacted, and I let you down, Shinji… The sound in your voice… and the damage I did to that b- Kaworu… Kaworu. I just… I wish I didn't screw things up like that!" She stomped her foot with the last sentence said, and stopped walking, simply staring at the linoleum floor.

"… Stop moping…"

Looking up in surprise, she stared at Shinji, who stared right back. His face was a blend of emotions. A dash of disappointment, with a hint of sadness seemed to be the most prominent upon his visage. Asuka stammered, "W-What did you say, Shinji?"

"I said, 'Stop moping,' Asuka." Shinji gave her hand a reassuring squeeze, and softly said, "This isn't the Asuka I know, and love very much… That Asuka is confident, and full of energy, and life… not to mention an unquenchable fire." He tapped her on the tip of her nose, and said, "And that's the one I like seeing the most."

"Shinji, I just-"

"Asuka, will you give me a hug?" Shinji held his arms open a tiny bit, welcoming the usually fiery redhead.

Reluctantly, the German teenager stepped forward and embraced Shinji, burying her face in the crook of his neck. "Of course, I'll give you a hug…"

"Just don't worry about it, Asuka… Look, when we get into the cafeteria, if you're still worked up about this, you can just find Kaworu, and talk it over… I'm sure he won't mind." Shinji wrapped his arms around the girl as he spoke, and gently ran his fingers through her hair.

"Okay…" Asuka looked up, and planted a tiny kiss on his cheek, saying, "Thanks, Shinji… for caring about m-" The girl interrupted herself with a massive yawn, and she shook her head, loosing Shinji's fingers from her hair. "No! It's too early for a nap!" With another grin, the girl kissed him on the cheek once more.

(-(-(-(-.-)-)-)-)

Kaworu sprinted into the cafeteria, and jumped through the doors, kicking them out of his way. How dare an inanimate object get between him and his beloved chicken wings?! He quickly glanced behind him, to see the molasses wave of students gradually working their way towards the large dining hall.

"Heh, got the jump on them!" He continued his frantic pace towards the lunch line. Skidding to a halt, he barked out his order, "Gimme a triple, no quadruple order of wings! Pronto!"

He swiped his food from the cook's grasps, and quickly shoved a few bills into the man's greasy hands. "Yeah, yeah, keep the change!" Like a bat out of hell, he began dashing around the cafeteria, in search of his next objective.

(-(-(-(-.-)-)-)-)

Shinji, gently holding his girlfriend's hand, timidly stepped into the large cafeteria, full of prying eyes. It wasn't that he didn't enjoy Asuka's company, but it was more that he was unused to being the center of attention, like Asuka generally was. As all the eyes turned to him, his gaze immediately dropped to the tiled floor, as he silently wished he could disappear from their sight.

Asuka squeezed his hand, and whispered, "Oh, lighten up, Shinji… You should be honored to be seen like this in public… especially with such a positively radiant and beautiful girl, such as myself."

"Um, Asuka… I think you forgot to add 'superior' in there," Shinji chuckled nervously, hoping to dispel said uneasiness with a slight joke of his own.

Rolling her eyes, and giving the young man a playful shove, she half growled, half laughed, "Oh shut up, you!"

"Where in the hell is the God damned hot sauce! If I find out one of you little bastards is hidin' it from me, I swear, I'll do something drastic!"

Both Shinji and Asuka froze in their tracks and looked up at the silver haired youth, who was parading around on one of the tables, waving a fluorescent light bulb around at people, casting its harsh light upon them.

Shinji glanced over to his left, at the station where all of the lunch condiments were contained, and plucked the unopened bottle of hot sauce from it. "This stuff is disgusting… It's way too hot…"

Kaworu still scanned the room, trying to find the beloved sauce. "If my damn wings get cold while I'm waiting to find this stuff, I'm going to freak out! Now where IS IT?!"

"Kaworu!" Shinji lobbed the plastic bottle through the air, and towards the guitarist, at a relatively slow speed, so that he would have enough time to pluck it out of the air.

"Jackpot!" The silver haired boy flashed a casual smirk towards Shinji and backed up towards the edge of the table. Utilizing his legs like springs, the young man vaulted himself backwards, in a back flip, and caught the bottle midair. "Thanks, buddy. Knew I could count on you."

The couple followed Kaworu to his seat, as they had packed their lunches, or rather, Shinji had packed their lunches, and they did not need to pay for any cafeteria food.

Shinji seemed to instantly relax in Kaworu's company, and began to lighten up.

The brown haired Eva pilot eyed the necktie around his friend's neck, and asked, "Kaworu, why are you wearing a tie? You despise being told what to wear, more or less dressing nicely…"

Fingering the tie which concealed the lacerations on his neck, the young man shrugged, "Oh, I figured I'd look nice for school, since I care so much about it." With a devilish grin, Kaworu said, "I swear I didn't jack it from one of the nerdy bastards who ain't got nothin' better to do than study…"

Both Asuka and Shinji shook their heads slowly, while rolling their eyes. The only thought going in both of their heads was; 'I should've known…'

"Heh, and it's sorta coverin' up that little, tiny cut your "close friend" gave me." As he said "close friend" he motioned to Asuka, and gave Shinji a grin, mouthing the words, "Heh, more like "sex buddy", heheh…"

Shinji bristled at him, and mouthed back, "Kaworu! I… We haven't done anything of the sort!"

The young guitarist simply raised his eyebrows jovially, and began to eat his beloved chicken wings.

"Man, that's vile… How can you do something like that to your food?" he inquired, watching in morbid fascination, as his friend dumped more and more hot sauce onto his chicken wings.

"Pfft, you just don't understand the science of chicken wings. This hot sauce, even though it's pretty mild, gives them a little bit of a kick! Now, if we had something hotter, that would just kick ass, because these damn things would be so good th-" Kaworu stopped himself mid sentence, and stared directly at Asuka, with his burgundy eyes, saying, "Am I boring you?"

Shinji leaned over and whispered to the girl who was intently staring at the table in front of her, "Asuka… now is your chance… Go ahead…" He gave her a gentle nudge in the ribs, and a reassuring smile.

Letting out a massive, heaving sigh, the girl mentally prepared herself to apologize. "Um… Ka… Kaworu. I wanted to a… apologize. Yeah, I wanted to apologize… I sort of overreacted earlier… I'm sorry…"

"Heh, you shouldn't be askin' for my forgiveness. I'm not the one who had Shinji's tongue." The silvery locked guitarist winked at Asuka with a chuckle, and continued eating his lunch. "You kids and your naughty little games…" At this, he simply put down his food, and burst into a hearty round of laughter.

All the while, Asuka was seething with anger, and embarrassment. "We did not do anything like that!" she said forcibly, albeit quietly.

Kaworu leaned in towards her, and whispered, so that only they could hear each other, "But I know you want to… you know he's too innocent to do that sort of thing correctly, yet…"

Glowering in embarrassment, Asuka lashed out with her foot, and kicked him in the shin, under the table. 'He's… I don't want to admit it, but he is sorta right…' The girl shot a quick and unnoticeable glance towards her oblivious boyfriend, picking away at his lunch systematically. 'My Shinji is innocent… as much as I say otherwise…' She felt a tiny smile creep up on her face, accompanying the thought.

Grunting a little bit, Kaworu rubbed at his shin. 'Jeez, she kicks harder than she punches… now that ain't even cool.' He grinned at his food, and continued to eat, as was the point of lunch time, stopping periodically to take a draft of water.

Between Shinji, Asuka, and himself, there was a cheerful banter, as though the violence of earlier had been forgotten.

(-(-(-(-.-)-)-)-)

"I… wonder where Kensuke and Toji are…"

"Eh, they skipped out on class today. I think they bounced when I knocked down the door, you know? Probably figured they'd get busted by somebody for being there… wusses." Kaworu idly toyed with his hair as he strode down the sidewalk with Shinji, who had Asuka firmly latched to his arm.

The redhead sighed heavily, and groused, "Ugh, the stooges… I swear, if they say one word, I'm going to flip out."

Shinji pulled her a little bit closer to his body and gently rubbed her shoulder. "It's okay, Asuka… just… just leave it up to me… I'll try to explain it to them… If they don't approve, then I guess I can't really call them friends…"

"I might have to reward you for being such a good, little boy," Asuka said enticingly, using her index finger to trace a line down from his neck to his stomach.

"A-Asuka, I d-don't… I don't think we should be-"

"Just relax, Shinji… It's not like I'm gonna bite…" Asuka leaned in close to him, placing her mouth near his ear, whispering, "Unless you want me to…" The German girl grinned, and placed a kiss on his neck.

Kaworu stopped and frowned as he looked back. "Well, as much as I'd like to stay and watch you two go at it in public, I gotta get going. Gotta haul ass so I can truck it over to the hospital."

Both Asuka and Shinji ceased their intimacies, and stared surprised at everything, finally realizing that they were in public, and such displays wouldn't be prudent.

"Nice talkin' to you guys, but I got a date to keep with a pretty, little thing." With that said, Kaworu flipped them the finger with a grin, and sped off in the opposite direction.

Asuka stared blankly at the retreating boy, then turned her gaze to her boyfriend, shaking her head lightly, "…Shinji, you have some weird friends."

Sighing, Shinji nodded in agreement, quietly saying, "Yeah… Heh, after all, you're my friend too."

Rolling her eyes, and half laughing at the same time, Asuka elbowed him in the side, "Oh, quiet, yo-"

"ARE YOU INSANE? JESUS, MARY AND JOSEPH! RED LIGHTS MEAN STOP, JACKASS! GREEN MEANS STOP FOR ME!"

Asuka paused, and blinked a few times, then giggled, "Let me rephrase that. You have some weird and volatile friends."

Shinji simply winked at her and said, "Like I said before." He chuckled a tiny bit, as they continued on their way.

After a few minutes of silent walking, Asuka cried out, "What?! I'm not volatile! I'm just like a giant teddy bear!"

"Heh, that took you a little while to figure out, Asuka…" Shinji quickly pulled himself into a standing ball, to block any blow that would come from his girlfriend.

"Oh, shut up, Shinji," Asuka cried, whilst laughing the whole time. "I'm just like a teddy bear, and you know it." She leaned closer and purred, "I'm great with cuddling."

"A teddy bear with a shotgun maybe." Shinji burst into a massive assault of laughter, and sprinted towards the apartment, with Asuka in hot pursuit.

(-(-(-(-.-)-)-)-)

Kaworu quickly turned the door latch to Rei's room, and tossed the door open. With a florid grin, he leaned in the doorway, and winked at her. "Hey there, Snow Globe… Heh, you miss me?"

Staring at him blankly, the hospitalized female pilot frowned at him, saying plainly, "I fail to see the similarities between myself and a glass orb filled with water and tiny squares of plastic."

"Whoa… You need to lighten up, girly." He walked over to her hospital bed, and pulled up a chair, then straddled it, using the back to rest his arms, and placing his chin upon his arms, so he was at face level with the girl. "Just think about it for a sec. Look, snow globes are real easy on the eyes, if you catch my drift." Kaworu seemed to purr out the last words, and continued, "But they're even better when you shake 'em up."

Grinning predatorily, Kaworu raised his eyebrows at her, before finally saying, "It's astounding how so much beauty could be packed into such a tiny package…" Kaworu looked over the whole of Rei, with another smile gracing his face, and made a rumbling noise of appreciation from deep within his throat. "Heh… and what an alluring little package it is…"

Cheeks flushed, Rei stammered out, "You e… embarrass me… I do not understand why you say such things…"

Instantly dropping his joking façade, Kaworu became all business, as he gently reached out and covered Rei's hand with his own calloused fingers. "Doesn't it feel nice to be complimented?"

"I… am not sure… This is new to me." Nevertheless, she still was flushed.

He scooted closer to her, and stared deeply into her eyes, as if he was probing her mind. "And yet you're confused by these emotions… You're blushin' but you don't know why. You may not think that you act very human, but deep in there, under those layers of snow, you're a girl… and girls love to be complimented."

"Perhaps there is truth in that statement." Rei stared back into his burgundy eyes, the color of wine. "Perhaps I do enjoy such statements…"

"If you didn't, you wouldn't be smiling."

Reaching a delicate hand up to her lips, Rei felt around her face, realizing that she was, in fact, smiling, albeit a tiny one. "Perhaps… I enjoy conversing with you…"

"Seems like it, Snow. Sure seems like it…" He gave her delicate, pale hand a squeeze, and simply said, "If you call, I'll answer… Before you ask, that means you can always talk to me." Kaworu stood up out of his chair and headed towards the door, playing with the necktie around his neck. "Well, Rei… I gotta skip. I'll visit you tomorrow, alright?"

"I can smell the blood on you… What has happened?" Rei propped herself up further in her bed, and stared intently at the silver haired youth.

Shrugging, and trying to play it off like nothing, Kaworu removed his necktie, and said, "No big. Just a little bit of a cut. Just a little minor thing."

"I do not believe that is classified as minor…" Rei clicked a button, and spoke into a tiny box near her bedside, "Nurse, I require assistance… An acquaintance of mine requires medical aid."

"No, Rei, it's fine… really. I'm bein' serious here!" As hands began to grab him, he fought his hardest to escape them, dodging, ducking, bobbing and weaving to escape the nurses. Finally they got a hold of him, and he struggled even more. "Get offa me, you freakin' behemoth! Somebody call off the Man-Nurses!" Kaworu's ears twitched as he heard a tiny noise among the commotion.

Rei let out an almost inaudible chuckle, as she watched the spectacle unfold.

Immediately, Kaworu ceased to fight, and simply became limp, with a smile upon his face, "I made her laugh… I made Rei laugh… heh… my little Snow Globe…"

(-(-(-(-.-)-)-)-)

"Major Katsuragi, see to it that the boy is commissioned."

"Yes, Commander." Misato turned to leave the office of the feared Gendo Ikari, anxious to exit, because of the nervousness she constantly felt in his presence.

Her escape was to no avail, as he called out her name once more. "Major Katsuragi."

Misato turned around warily, unsure of what to expect. "Y-Yes, Commander?"

"See to it that the boy is compliant in this matter…"

"Yes, Commander, sir." Saluting him, Major Katsuragi turned on her heel and left the office.

"Kaworu Nagisa… I shall be watching you most carefully…"


Author's Notes: And there you go. There was another chapter of this story, and I hope you enjoyed it… but you probably all forgot it, because I haven't updated in FOREVER… Sorry readers. Now, you guys'll have to be patient with me once again… I know it's trying, but I probably won't update for a little while… It will be within the two weeks, hopefully though…

Outtakes

Electrogore

Every occupant of the cafeteria stared at Kaworu, alarmed at his outburst. The silver haired boy swiped the fluorescent light in his hand around as if it were a sword, pointing it at each person he addressed.

"Hey! Nerdy bastard, over there!" Kaworu called at the same kid whose tie he had stolen. He waved the light at him, and called out again, "Are you brain dead?! I know you can hear me!" Still receiving no response, Kaworu cracked him over the head with the light.

"Ow! Stop it, fag!" the boy whined, clutching at his head with his hands.

Kaworu instantly recoiled, as if he had been punched in the face. "What was that…? Did I hear you correctly?!" The silver haired boy jumped off of the table, and swung the light bulb like a baseball bat, smashing it into thousands of glittering shards over the kid's head.

As the other boy lay whimpering in pain, Kaworu grabbed him by the ankles, dragging him through the glass. When he reached the giant trash can at the exit of the cafeteria, the volatile, young man dumped the still moaning body of the other kid into the trash, and sealed it up.

"I ain't gay."

The Doctor is In…

Black, beady eyes glared down at Rei's writhing body, while he gripped the plastic bag even tighter, between his finger/claw/flipper appendages.

Through the semi-transparent bag, the homicidal bird could vaguely see Rei's bulging eyes, as she clutched at her throat, and the bag enclosing it. The normally pale skin was now turning a tint of blue, as the oxygen was cut off from her body.

Rei wouldn't get a chance to think twice about asking for medicine from Dr. Pen-Pen.

The bio-genetically engineered, warm water penguin simply squawked, which translated into a rough, 'Next!'
