Summary: Shinji discovers he has more family members than expected, as well as bodyguards and new love interests. Meanwhile, his own family tries to bring in new ones as well. Namely: Misato Katsuragi and Rei Ayanami!
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Shinji stared out into space, literally, as the Earth came into view.
From his room in the luxurious palace on the Moon (think the Moon Palace from Sailor Moon before it got destroyed by the Negaverse) Shinji's thoughts softened as he stared at the blue sphere that he had left only last week. An entire week since he and his family had basically told all of NERV that Shinji was no longer one of them.
While Shinji hadn't felt too raw about it at the time, this nagging doubt in his mind left him rather... guilty.
It wasn't like he owed NERV that much, especially after everything they'd done to him, particularly his father. But in the back of his mind he regretted leaving Misato and Rei like that. Everyone else he could just play off as 'it's not important'. But with Misato and Rei it was different.
Misato had taken him in, given him a home, and tried to make him a 'normal' teenager than what he had been when he first arrived in Tokyo-3. Sure she acted more like a teenager than he did, could out-drink a college frat house, drove like she was running from the cops, and sometimes forgot things, but that didn't mean she wasn't a good person.
As for Rei... well, she had been Shinji's first crush. She had never truly wronged him, never insulted him, never talked down to him. Though she had struck him for insulting his father... er, former father, the commander. Given that, he wondered if she would have ultimately sided with the grim man against him. The disparaging thought was...yes, she would. And yet, he missed her.
He turned back and headed into his room, which was complete with all the amenities that a prince would have.
And technically, Shinji was a prince, made so by his family.
His bed was a king-sized bed, which his sisters and bodyguards insisted on sharing with him on more than one occasion. He had a large desk with a state-of-the-art holographic computer created by his grandmother, a large bookcase with hundreds of useful and entertaining books, dressers and drawers, a large closet, a portrait picture of his family on the far wall, (His mother, father, brothers and sisters as the core group) and a comfortable 'house' for Tora to sleep in.
On the wall of his room, around the portrait, were his birthday gifts.
Hanging from the wall itself was the pendant that Kamihito had given him and the swords his uncle Kambei had given him. On a small mantle was the ring Aika gave him, the rose his sister Serena gave him, and the scrolls his grandfather Sarutobi had given him. The stealth suit that his aunt Motoko had given him was hanging up in his closet.
He smiled at the gifts he had received and left his room to head to his morning training session with Ranma. On his way out he was 'attacked' by his younger sisters.
"BROTHER!" Sasami shouted as she leapt at him and onto his back.
"Sasami-chan!" Shinji smiled as he ended up giving the girl a piggyback ride. He then noticed his younger cousin next to him. "Ruri-chan."
"Good morning, cousin." Ruri said with a small smile.
Shinji sighed, the girl's smile reminding him a little of Rei.
The distress coming off of him was hard to miss.
"Do you miss them, brother?" Sasami asked as she hugged the boy tightly around the neck.
"Who? NERV? No." he said.
"Then who do you miss?" Ruri asked, taking Shinji's hand to comfort him.
"Misato. And Rei. But... with everything that's happened... I wonder if they miss me?" he said sadly, but squeezed Ruri's hand in reassurance.
Sasami and Ruri exchanged glances as Shinji walked out to the training courtyard where Ranma, Sango, Kambei, and Shinji's 'bodyguards' were waiting for him to arrive.
Ranma was going through his warm-up exercises, Sango was playing with her two-tailed neko demon Kirara, Raye and Lita were sparring, Ami was typing on her portable holographic laptop computer, Mina was playing a mini-piano, and Kambei was sharpening his sword with a wet-stone.
Sasami and Ruri disentangled themselves from their older brother, he hugged them both, and then walked over to the rest of his family to train. But as he did, the pair looked at each other, as if talking without words. They nodded and ran back into the large, elegant palace.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
On the balcony overlooking the courtyard where their children were training, Alucard was talking on his cellphone while Yui Serenity was reading the finished poem her son Shinji had written.
My Mother...
Her eyes shine with a mothers glow,
illuminating all that she seeks to know.
Her smile warms the coldest heart,
discouraging all battles from coming to start.
Her voice sings to you, putting doubt and fear to rest,
while her words put forth her intentions as best.
Her warm embrace soothes even the deepest pain,
while her gentle arms remove hate's painful stain.
Her wrath is one she wishes no one to see,
but harm her children and you will cease to be.
Her true strength comes from the love in her heart,
from her family devotion she will never part.
Her children draw strength from her comforting presence,
it is what you can feel before the end of this sentence.
Her brother draws sword to defend her in moments,
Her husband draws gun to enforce this devotion.
Her mother with science paves the path to the stars,
Her father with shadow-arts keeps watch not too far.
Her children all smile as they know they are revered,
and especially her son, that's me, who is finally without tears.
To the mother of me, who I cherish for all eternity,
thank you for giving me life, and truly not abandoning me.
-Shinji Ikari.
Yui smiled as she gently crushed the poem to her chest, tears falling like glittering diamonds on the wind. Her smile seemed to shine as she gently folded the paper up and placed it inside her robes.
"I understand. No, it won't be a problem. Of course. I'll expect her soon." Alucard said as he closed his phone. "Hmph! Dingbat." he hissed under his breath.
"Is something wrong, dear?" Yui Serenity asked her husband.
"Not exactly. That was Henry Marker." he said with some irritation.
"Your nephew." she stated.
"Yes. He's having some problems with his family, and asked if we would take care of his youngest child until things settle down. I told him it wouldn't be a problem." he said.
"His youngest child? Little Anju?" she asked, somewhat excited to see her.
"Yes. Too young to have fully awoken to her vampire heritage, but she is a gifted student. Mentally able to control bats, and other creatures of the night." Alucard said. "She will not be any trouble."
"I look forward to seeing her." Yui smiled. "But you seem upset by this."
"Not with Anju coming here, but at the fact that after a hundred years, Henry hasn't stopped begging like a small child whenever he needed a favor. It makes him look rather pathetic." Alucard huffed.
Yui just smiled as she wrapped her hands around her husband's arm and lead him back into the large palace.
"You go and greet your grand-niece. I'll have the room prepared by the time she arrives." she assured the master vampire.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
However, unbeknownst to anyone, the unusual family group was about to have even more family members showing up.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Kamihito was in the middle of a reading, on the far side of the castle, when he felt the presence of a rather unique individual.
Brother? He thought as the door to the shrine opened up to reveal a young man who looked a great deal like himself, and a slightly older pink-haired girl in a blue and white, short-skirted maids outfit stepped inside. "Nakahito. And Kurumi." Kamihito smiled warmly as the pair entered the room.
"Hello, big brother." Nakahito said.
"Hiya, Nakahito's brother!" Kurumi said cheerfully.
"I was wondering what was taking you so long." Kamihito said. "Where have you been all this time?" he asked.
"We were actually getting Cousin Shinji his birthday present." Nakahito answered.
Kamihito blinked. "But his birthday was..."
"I know. We got... sidetracked." the younger boy said with a blush as Kurumi hugged him tightly.
"I'm not sure I want to know." Kamihito said with a smirk. "But, if you are serious, follow me." he said, getting up from the table and leading them out.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
From his chair in his spacious office in the northwest tower, Sarutobi continued to smoke his pipe as he watched Shinji and Ranma spar using his crystal ball.
He smiled, seeing that Shinji was utilizing the ninjutsu techniques that he had given him as a birthday present. He watched as Shinji used a Substitution Jutsu to vanish right in front of Ranma, causing the older martial artist to shatter a stump of wood. Sarutobi let out a puff of smoke before he sensed the presence of someone behind him.
"Neji. Hinata. Please show yourselves." he said.
Behind him, two people materialized as if out of thin air, as if a wall of invisibility had just vanished around them.
"I see Kurenai's genjutsu lessons haven't been a wasted effort." Sarutobi said.
"Our apologies, master." Neji Hyuga, the older boy with the raven dark hair and pale eyes said, approaching the older man on his right. "We were merely observing Shinji-sama."
"You need not be so formal, Neji." Sarutobi said. "You are, after all, his cousins."
"D-Distant cousins. Are w-we not?" the lovely teenage girl with the same pale eyes as Neji, and long beautiful hair that reached down to her waist, said.
The boy himself was dressed in dark green cargo pants and open-toed sandals, a black shirt under a dark green vest, fingerless gloves, forehead protector over his neck, and several weapons stashed in his vest. The girl was dressed in a pair of black biker shorts, blue open-toed sandals, a purple jacket that unlike her previous 'winter coat' did little to hide her figure, long black hair streaming down her back, her forehead protector around her neck.
"Yes. But cousin's are cousins. After all, you are my grandchildren, even if only by marriage." the old man said.
"Still, are you certain that introductions are necessary?" Neji asked.
Sarutobi smiled. "Shinji will eventually find out about you, and would be most hurt for not meeting you. He has acquainted himself with the majority of the castle staff as well as several of my ninja. He is not unapproachable."
"He d-does seem n-nice, Neji-kun." Hinata said.
"But quite powerful as well." Neji observed.
"You have his father, and most of his family, to thank for that." Sarutobi said before standing up. "Now, come. I'm sure he will enjoy meeting you." he said to them.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Back in the training courtyard Shinji continued sparring fiercely with Ranma.
The older boy with the pigtail leaped into the air and kicked Shinji hard in the chest. The brown-haired boy rolled on his back, but sprang off his hands and back onto his feet before rushing forward to hit the older boy. He suddenly vanished in the puff of smoke and appeared behind Ranma, quickly leg-sweeping him onto his backside.
The boys got back up and laughed.
"It's not fair when you use your ninja tricks, Shinji." Ranma said, rubbing his butt.
"It's not fair when you use your full strength, Ranma." Shinji said, rubbing his chest.
While Shinji was now stronger than he had been only days ago, it still paled in comparison to Ranma's physical strength, which was by leaps and bounds superior.
The pair paused when they noticed Sarutobi walking up to them with two people behind him. One was a serious looking young man who Ranma figured for a fighter. The other was a cute girl who looked nervous about just being there.
"Shinji. Ranma." Sarutobi said, getting their attention.
"Grandfather." The pair said with a bow.
"I'd like you to meet two special individuals." the old man said. "This is Hinata and Neji Hyuga. They are my grandchildren by marriage, and wished to meet you Shinji."
Shinji gave the pair an appraising look, bowing to them both.
"I'm pleased to meet you, Neji-san, Hinata-chan." Shinji said with a smile. "I'm glad to meet even more of my family."
Hinata blushed as she heard the '-chan' affixed to her name.
"Then perhaps you would honor me with a sparring match." Neji said to Shinji.
Ranma looked over at the boy, instantly wondering why he hadn't been challenged.
However, Shinji just nodded and motioned for the young man to join him on the sparring mat.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
"I'm really sorry about that, cousin." Shinji said as a battered and bruised Neji was carried out of the ring by Hinata and Ranma.
"Don't feel bad, bro." Ranma said. "You gave it all you had. Not your fault he couldn't dodge."
"Be nice, Ranma." Kambei said.
"Are you alright, Neji-san?" Hinata asked.
"Yes. At least he didn't use the 'Thousand-Years-Of-Pain' move on me. That would have been really embarrassing." Neji groaned.
"I hope he's going to be okay." Shinji said guiltily as the pair carried him inside the palace to rest and recuperate.
"Don't take it so hard, Shinji-kun." Lita said, standing behind the young man.
"Yes. You couldn't have anticipated that he would use his Gentle Fist attack to try and stop your heart." Ami said.
"You just reacted, countered, and turned the attack back on him." Raye said.
"But I didn't mean to injure him so much." Shinji said.
"You used a 64-Palm strike to his body, with your full strength." Sarutobi said. "You honored him in this way."
"Honored? More like 'hammered'!" Shinji groaned.
"Take a break and let your mind clear of these things. Neji will recover and be back to his usual grumpy self by morning." Sarutobi said.
"Yes, grandfather." Shinji said, bowing to the older man and walking out.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
The cute and mysterious young girl walked up to the large palace, staring at it like it was something out of a dream.
She was young, about 8 or 9, with long silvery-white hair and very pale skin. She was dressed up in a black, gothic-like dress that seemed rather old fashioned. In her right arm was an umbrella, in her left arm was a weird-looking doll that had a wooden knife in his hand.
"What do you think, Boogie-kun?" the girl asked.
"Kinda fancy. Fairy tale fancy. You'd never think to look for a vampire here." the doll said.
"Indeed." she replied.
Suddenly, a figure appeared behind her.
"Anju." he said.
She turned around and looked up at the tall, lean man in the red coat.
"Uncle Alucard." she said, acknowledging the large man.
"It's good to see you." he said simply.
"You as well." she replied.
"We've prepared a room for you."
"Thank you." she said, allowing the master vampire to lead her inside.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Shinji was walking through the hallways of the palace, a towel around his neck, when he ran into his father and the girl.
"Father." Shinji said.
"Shinji." Alucard greeted his son.
"Who is this young lady?" he asked as he stared at the girl.
The second Anju saw Shinji, her cheeks flushed, though she didn't know why.
"This is Anju Marker, the daughter of my nephew Henry Marker. She is a vampire like me and will be staying with us for a while. Anju, this is my son, Shinji Ikari." Alucard introduced.
"I'm pleased to meet you, Anju-chan." Shinji said with a bow.
Handsome, respectful, and flowing with strength. Anju thought as she bowed to him. "I am too... Shinji-kun." she replied.
Shinji left the pair in the hallway and continued on out towards one of the exterior gardens.
However, once outside, he suddenly encountered another unexpected visitor.
"LOOK OUT!" a shrieking voice caught his ear.
Shinji spun around just in time to see a girl on a bicycle speed towards him, strike a rock, flip over the handlebars of the bike, flip through the air, (Shinji catching a glimpse of her pink panties), before she flung forward and he caught her in his arms, the pair tumbling to the ground in a messy heap.
"Ohhhh." Shinji groaned as immediately opened his eyes, and saw nothing but pink. Sitting up, he gasped in shock when he realized that the pink the blinded his vision was actually waves of soft hair that belonged to a very beautiful girl.
He took in the girl before him. She was dressed in a school uniform that was different than he had once worn. Probably a prestigious private school. She had a greenish blazer over a soft white shirt that was a little gapped open in the front, a short plaid skirt with black shoes and pale white socks. There was a black collar around her neck from which hung a silver crucifix with a rosary bead in the center of it. She had greenish eyes and long pink hair, her skin looking as soft as a newborn baby.
Wow! She's cute! Shinji thought as the girl cleared her vision and stared at the boy.
"Oh. Where am I?" she said in a soft voice that made his heart beat.
However, his heart beat faster when he realized the position they were in. Specifically, the girl was in his lap, her legs wrapped around his waist, her hands on his shoulders, and somehow his hands had found their way to her hips.
But before Shinji could say anything akin to an apology, the girl spoke.
"You - you're blood. I can smell it." she said, her eyes glazing over with a kind of lust.
"My what?" he asked, shifting uncomfortably in his current position.
"Oh no! It's happening again!" she said softly, moving towards him.
FLOP! She fell against Shinji, her mouth right next to his neck.
"Wha?" Shinji gasped as the girl fell against him, her arms wrapped around his neck.
"I'm so sorry, but.. you see... I'm a vampire!" she said right before she opened her mouth wide, and Shinji felt a pair of teeth pierce his skin.
"ACK!" he gasped, but not from the slight pain. From the action itself.
Mmmmm! So tasty! She thought as she sucked his blood. I want more!
"AH!" Shinji gasped again, this time causing the girl to move away.
"Oh! I'm so sorry! I almost took too much!" she cried out of concern.
"Too much? You just bit me!" Shinji gasped as the realization hit him. Another vampire? How many vampiric relations do I have? He thought.
"I hope I didn't hurt you." she apologized.
Shinji turned his neck to the girl, showing her the two holes that slowly closed up before her eyes.
Guess father was right about me not being affected by vampires. Shinji thought as he rubbed his neck, not feeling the holes anymore. "No harm done. Vampire bites don't really affect me."
"Oh, I'm so glad! My name's Moka Akashiya, and... I hope you don't mind me saying this... but your blood is absolutely delicious!" she gushed as she cutely held the sides of her face with her hands while blushing.
I'm not sure how to take that. He thought. "I'm Shinji. Can I help you?"
"Oh that would be so nice! I came here looking for my uncle Alucard." she said.
"Your uncle?" he gasped slightly.
"Yes. Do you know where I can find him?" Moka asked.
"I think I do." Shinji said, leading the girl inside the palace.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
(Katsuragi Apartment, Earth)
Misato hadn't been to work in nearly a week. No, she had been home drinking her ass off ever since Shinji had left.
While Ritsuko had tried to get her back to work, the purple haired woman was more stubborn than usual. She had practically run the scientist out with her NERV-issue handgun. Section-2 didn't dare try to physically remove her from her apartment.
Not that they could. With the Angel in Terminal Dogma having been exposed, secret after secret was being revealed, and Misato wondered just how long it would be until some U.N. official came knocking at her door.
However, her thoughts, drenched in liquor like the rest of her body, were blurrily centered around Shinji, or more on how she had failed him as a guardian. She had forgotten his birthday, left him alone on that day because she was out drinking with Kaji.
Two things she wholly regretted now.
However, from the back of the apartment, two figures watched the drunken woman with interest and a mild sense of pity.
Sasami and Yui just stared at the woman as she tried reaching for another beer can.
"Shinji..." she cried with sobbing tears, tipping over another can of beer before passing out onto the floor.
Without much in the way of words, and seeing her in such a state, the pair took pity on the beautiful woman and gathered her up. Yui knelt down and touched the unconscious woman with both hands, the pair instantly teleporting away.
Sasami gathered up PenPen and also followed suit behind her mother.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
(Apartment 402, Tokyo-3)
Rei Ayanami was at her apartment, pondering the empty feeling she now had for Shinji being gone. She was sad, only because he was her only true friend and now he was gone.
With Unit 01 no longer able to preform the function that The Commander wanted, and Lilith having been exposed to the world. Or at least NERV itself.
I should have done more for Ikari-kun. Now... I am alone once again. She thought with true sadness for the first time in her life.
Though The Commander was still there, his anger at losing his wife had caused him to isolate the blue-haired girl more than normal. In truth, Gendo had become absolutely lax in his responsibilities to both NERV and SEELE. The Committee was hounding him left and right about completing the Human Instrumentality Project, but without a goal of his own to overlay onto that scheme, the man was lost. And if he was lost in where/how to revive his dead wife, then there was no purpose for Rei.
There might have been, of a more intimate nature, but fortunately Gendo was far too distracted to care.
Rei got up from her bed and took the broken pair of glasses off her dresser and dropped them into the trash can.
"I have no purpose now. What... will I do?" she said softly to herself.
She then took a pair of blue A-10 neural clips that she had taken from Shinji's locker at NERV and placed them on the dresser.
Ruri and Motoko looked at them, instantly realizing what they were, and who they belonged to.
"Ikari-kun... where are you?" she asked softly.
"Would you like to find out?" a soft voice asked.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
(Moon Castle)
"YOU'RE UNCLE ALUCARD'S SON?" Moka gasped loudly to Shinji.
"Yes." Shinji said moving away from the screaming girl.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" she asked, almost pouting in a cute way.
"Because you didn't ask. You just wanted to know where 'Uncle Alucard' was." he said simply.
"That was very sneaky, Shinji-kun!" she playfully admonished him. Although... it does explain why his blood was so tasty. Grandmother once said that forbidden fruit was the sweetest. Then again, it's not like we're that closely related. She thought. Alucard is his father and I am his niece, so that means that Shinji-kun and I are cousins... or second cousins? Hmm.
I wonder what she's thinking? Shinji thought as his mind mentally connected to Alucard. 'Father!'
'Yes, Shinji?' Alucard thought back to him.
'Moka Akashiya is here. She says she's your niece.'
'She is, but I'm curious as to why she is here.'
'I'll ask.' "Moka?" he asked the girl.
"Yes, Shinji-kun?"
"Why are you here?"
She looked at him strangely. "Why do you wish to know?"
"I don't. Father does."
"Oh! You have a mental link with him! You must be his son!" she gushed cutely. "Actually, I am here because... well... my home has become invaded by some kind of magic insect and... well, we can't stay there now. So... my father sent me to stay with my uncle for the time being."
Magic insect? Okay...'Did you hear that father?' Shinji asked.
"Yes, I did." Alucard said aloud, appearing right behind the pair.
"Eeek!" Moka shrieked as she clutched Shinji's arm tightly. Whoa! He feels strong! She thought as her fingers felt up his arm.
"Father." Shinji said calmly to the master vampire.
"Shinji. Moka." Alucard said.
"U-Uncle." Moka gasped. He still intimidates me. She thought.
"Who is this?" Anju asked, poking her head out behind the tall master vampire. The man towered over her like a giant statue.
"Anju? Oh, little Anju!" Moka cried as she engulfed the girl in a tight hug.
"You... are... crushing... me!" Anju said, the older girl relenting on the hugs. "Cousin Moka."
"It's so good to see you!" Moka said sweetly.
"Yes, I gathered." Anju replied.
"So... we have more guests." Sarutobi said, the ninja master appearing behind the group.
"Family, actually." Alucard stated.
"Hello, grandfather." Moka said cheerfully.
"Moka. It's so nice to see you again." he smiled.
"Grandfather." Anju said in a monotone voice.
"Hello, Anju. You've grown some." he said with a nod.
"Hiya, pops!" Boogie-kun said.
"And Boogie-kun too." he said with some discomfort.
Shinji just looked at the doll in shock. He wouldn't have taken Anju for being a ventriloquist, but considering what his family was comprised of, he knew there was more to it than that.
"Oh! Shinji-kun!" Yui Serenity said, appearing in the hallway.
"Mother!" Shinji said.
"I have a surprise for you." she said, taking his hand and leading him away.
The others followed with curious interest.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Shinji let his mother lead him to the medical bay where he gasped at finding his former guardian, Misato Katsuragi, floating in a large tank, surrounded by bluish liquid, with a respirator around her mouth. She was dressed only in a black bra and panties, her purple hair floating around her.
"Misato? She's here? What's wrong with her?" Shinji asked, not caring that she was mostly naked.
"Liver poisoning, best I can tell." Washu said, looking at the scans as she appeared from the other side of the tank.
"Liver poisoning? You mean..." Yui Serenity started to say as the others arrived behind them.
"Yup. Very nearly drunk herself to death. One more drop and bam! She'd be totally gone." Washu said, not noticing the unusual group of family assembled.
Sounds like Misato. Shinji thought. "Can you do anything, Obaachan?"
"Well... I have been working on a new cybernetic body I could implant her mind into." she said as she brought up the file of the cybernetic body on a computer off to the side.
Shinji gasped when he realized the 'body' was nothing like his Aunt Motoko's body. It looked like a robotic dinosaur. A gigantic Tyrannosaurus Rex to be exact.
"What do you think?" Washu asked.
"Uh... what's the word I'm looking for? It's... NO! You're Not Putting Misato's Brain Inside The Body Of A... 20-Story T-Rex!" Shinji shouted after he saw the measurements for the creature. "20 Stories?" he gasped.
"I thought it was a good size." Washu said with a smile.
"Obaachan!" he snapped.
"What about a Velociraptor? Only the size of a city bus." Washu suggested.
"OBAACHAN!" Shinji shouted.
"Alright, alright. Kill joy." the red-haired scientist relented.
"Can't you just repair her liver?" Yui Serenity asked.
"Oh sure. I've already got one incubating in the cloning tank ready to go." Washu said.
"Well then, please do that." Shinji said.
"It's always so simple for you, isn't it?" Washu said.
"Yes. It is." he replied as he noticed Moka and Anju wandering over to the refrigerator where the blood packets were stored. Uh, maybe I should... he thought before a familiar voice caught his attention.
"Ikari-kun?" a monotone voice said from behind him.
Shinji turned around and gasped when he saw Rei Ayanami, dressed in her standard school uniform, standing right behind him.
"Rei-chan? Wha-what are you doing here?" Shinji gasped.
"I do not know. I was at my apartment, asleep. But now I am here. I do not understand why." she said.
"Perhaps we can help you." Motoko Kusanagi said, dressed in her black and gray combat suit. Ruri was behind her.
"What's going on? Not that it's not good to see them... but why are they here?" Shinji asked.
"Because you missed them." Ruri said.
"You... missed us?" Rei asked the boy.
"Well... yes, I did." Shinji said with a small blush.
"But why? Our actions were not one of merit." she said.
"Merit?" Shinji asked, slightly confused as to how that applied.
"We were not true friends to you as you have been to us. We did not even remember your birthday." she explained.
"I know but... I still missed you and Misato." he smiled.
He shows kindness towards us, though we did nothing kind for him. Rei thought. "I am not worthy of such kindness." she said to him.
"That's for damn sure." Motoko huffed.
"Aunt Motoko!" Shinji snapped, causing the cyborg woman to just shrug her shoulders.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Authors Notes:
While this chapter was shorter than I normally intended for this update, I thought that my original idea was too large and needed more refinement.
The next chapter will include Ranma getting his own harem. With some very special girls in it. And no, I will not give you a preview of it. As for adding Misato and Rei to the story, despite how I wrote them up, I actually liked their characters. To that end I am actually integrating them more into this story. Hope that's alright.
And yes, Neji and Hinata are 15 years old in this story. About the same age as they were after the Naruto timeskip. And just wait and see what present Nakahito and Kurumi have for Shinji.
There isn't much I can say about this update, other than 'I am sorry the Shinji/Neji fight was short'. 'I know I am adding all these girls into basically a harem for Shinji. This was not intended. It just evolved.'. And 'There will be no sex between Shinji and his girls'. At least not in a way that will change the rating. I am still writing the 12th chapter for this, which will be up sooner than my last update. So keep an eye out for that.
Also, I want to thank everyone for keeping up with this story, sending me emails, PM's, and reviews, and will hopefully leave me lost of reviews for this update.
Later!
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
OMAKE!
"MISATO NEEDS BEER!" the 20-story mechanical T-Rex roared as it stumbled through the streets of Tokyo-3.
(I totally blame you for this, Obaachan!) Shinji shouted from his Super Impulse Gundam as he ran towards the rampaging monster.
(It wasn't my fault she woke up early!) Washu shouted from the space cruiser.
(But I told you not to put her brain into the body of a T-Rex! A 20-STORY T-Rex, at that!) Shinji shouted as he grabbed the exterior pack from his belt. (I hope this works)
(It better! That took me ten hours to create!)
Shinji stopped his giant Gundam in the middle of the city, taking a large cylinder out of the side pack, and popping the lid.
Misato suddenly stopped rampaging, sniffing the air and turning back towards the SIG.
(Misato want a beer?) Shinji asked, waving the silver cylinder with the amber liquid inside it at her.
"BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERR!" Misato bellowed as she charged towards him.
(And now we run.) Shinji said as he turned about and ran out of the city with a snapping T-Rex on his heels. (I'm starting to think this was a bad idea!)

"But why? Our actions were not one of merit." Rei said.
"Merit?" Shinji asked, slightly confused as to how that applied.
"We were not true friends to you as you have been to us. We did not even remember your birthday." she explained.
"I know but... I still missed you and Misato." he smiled.
He shows kindness towards us, though we did nothing kind for him. Rei thought. "I am not worthy of such kindness." she said to him.
"That's for damn sure." Motoko huffed.
"Aunt Motoko!" Shinji snapped.
"I am not happy, nor have I ever been. I am not, as they say, perky."
"That's a matter of opinion." Motoko said, grabbing Rei's breast. "Feels perky to me."
"AUNT MOTOKO!" Shinji shouted in horror.
"Unhand me! I only allow Shinji-kun to touch me there." Rei said slapping the cyborgs hand away from her breast.
Everyone looked at Shinji.
"You groped Rei?" Yui Serenity gasped.
"That's my boy." Alucard grinned, causing his wife to smack him upside his head.
"I wish to go next." Ruri said.
"No Me!" Moka shouted.
"Wait your turn." Anju said.
"Oh, Kami!" Shinji groaned.
