Chapter 14: Moving in?!

Ritsuko's office, NERV HQ

Ritsuko calmed typed away on the computer, pausing to fix her reading glasses. She normally never wore them, only occasionally when her vison tended to blur. As she typed, a pair of arms wrapped around her neck, making her gasp before smiling at the voice. "Well, you're still a world-class workaholic, huh Ritsuko?" Kaji asked with a smile, making Ritsuko look to him. "And by the looks of things, you don't even have a boyfriend yet, do you?"

"Ahh, Kaji." Ritsuko sighed, turning her chair to see her college friend. "Long time no see."

"The guys at NERV have surely lost theirs-to leave a rose like you so lonely." Kaji finished, making Ritsuko chuckle.

"Hahaha…. You really haven't changed huh?"

"Well then maybe I should perhaps be the one?"

"You say that, Ryoji, but don't mean it. So you better stop your hand…."

"Because there's a scaaaary librarian lady watching us." Kaji looked to his right in confusion, before his hands shot away from a smiling Ritsuko with a look of absolute horror on his face. Standing right beside them, next to one of the many book shelves, was Misato holding a book with a look of barely controlled rage. If you listened closely, you could have heard steam escape her nostrils.

"UNBELIEVABLE!" Misato snapped, slamming the book shut and marching to Kaji. "WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS LIKE THIS? YOU NEVER LEARN!"

"Oh, take it outside…" Ritsuko murmured, taking a sad sip of her coffee as she knew neither would listen to her now.

"I-It's my prerogative!" Kaji tried to say, before winking at Misato with a smile. "Besides, what are you getting so worked up about? I thought there's going on between us. Unless, you still got it for me….?"

Misato felt a vein pop out on her forehead, and Kaji froze in fear when he saw her fist collide with the metal walling right beside his head. "SCREW YOU!" She yelled in anger, turning away as Kaji shook worried she night attack him after the wall next. "Even if I was young, it was the worst mistake of my life to go out with you!"

"Oh, don't be so upset- You'll get wrinkles!" Kaji chuckled, which only infuriated Misato's anger.

"SHUT UP!" She yelled back, before regained control over her anger. "What are you doing here anyways, huh? Shouldn't you be in Europe?"

"I'll actually be staying her at NERV HQ for a while." Kaji explained, leaning back onto the wall. He smiled. "Beside not that I'm here the three of us could hang out together again, just like college."

"I have zero intentions of going back to that again!" Misato retorted, thought she couldn't hide the small blush on her cheeks. She crossed her arms, then looked to Ritsuko. "I just came to inform Ritsuko that I've let Human Resources know about Asuka. So goodbye!"

Misato left just as fast as she spoke, letting Ritsuko tell Kaji, "You realize Misato's jealous, Kaji. You still have a chance to win her."

"Eh," Kaji sighed, shrugging with a smug smile. "I wonder the same."

Shinji meanwhile, is walking home alone, as today Kensuke and Toji returned home after they'd met Asuka. As he did, two NERV cargo trucks passed by, but he was too deep in thought to notice it. "Asuka… Shikinami…." He thought aloud, fixing his bags strap on his shoulders. "I guess there are people who enjoy piloting EVA…."

He sighed before returning deep into thought, a few minutes later arriving at Misato's apartment.

"I'm home…!" Shinji called out, placing his bag by the door and walking to his room. That was until…. "W-What the fuck happened to my room?!"

Shinji's room was filled with cardboard boxes and things he didn't have. Who the hells stuff is this?! He thought in shock, before he turned to see… Better yet, where my-? "Oh no," He whispered, before he raised his voice. "Oh God please no!"

"Excuse me!" Asuka, dressing in a tank top and shorts, and a drink in hand, called out to Shinji. "That is all MY stuff!"

Asuka started taking in her drink, while Shinji's eye twitched slightly. "So, where the hell's my stuff huh?!" He growled, before blinking as he realized she was here. "Actually, why are YOU here Asuka?!"

"God, you really are pathetic." Asuka sighed, before giving a look of "remorse." "It means you're getting trashed, Third Child!"

"Excuse me?"

"Well, it doesn't take much to conclude who's the superior pilot in the apartment… Though, why are the rooms in Japan so darn small?"

"Ehh… But… Wha…!"

"I can't even fit half my stuff in here!" Asuka exclaimed, before opening and shutting the door repeatedly. "Also, why do Japanese people have no sense of fear? I mean, look at this! You people live in rooms with no locks whatsoever! It's unbelievable!"

Shinji sighed, and turned around to see Misato with a blank expression and arms crossed, like she was expecting this. Shinji cried out in fear, and backed into Asuka, who looked to see Misato's abrupt appearance and jumped in fear too. "Because it's Japanese virtue to be considerate and respectful to tradition and to others." Misato explained, sighed as she looked to the Second and Third Childs.

"Misato!" Shinji cried out in anger, sighing irritably while Asuka gave him an annoyed look. "Don't do that!"

"God you're annoying…" She whispered, before yelling out. "Hurry up and get out of here with all your garbage!"

"Oh no! You go first, Shikinami! I was here first!"

"On what basis?! You've done nothing at all as a pilot!"

"Oh I'm sorry, but what exactly is YOUR Angel kill count?"

"It's…. Uh, the one from-"

"The one earlier doesn't count!"

"Dammit! Ugh, just leave!"

"NO!"

"Both of you stop!" Misato cut in, blocking the pair off from attacking one another. "Look, you'll both be staying here from now on!"

"WHAT?!" Asuka screamed in horror, and into Shinji's ear.

"Do you EVER stop screaming?" he asked calmly, before Misato continued.

"What both of you lack is adequate communication skills." Misato explained. "And as fellow pilots, you share many common things. So you pair better get along!"

"Yeah, I'll just bunk at Shiro's if you don't mind-!" Shinji and Asuka found themselves fearfully staring at Misato's sudden death like stare, one she usually used when interrogating someone or just to scare the shit out of a person.

"Excuse me?" She asked, in an eerie voice to go with her face. "What part of commanding officer, don't you understand?"

Asuka looked from Misato to Shinji, a look of disgust on her face before looking away with an "Hmph!"

"That's an order." Misato finished, with a smile.

"Great…" Shinji added in sarcastically.

Rei's apartment, under construction

Across Tokyo-3, close towards the north, several apartment complexes stood, being tore apart for reconstruction. Anyone living there would normally have left, but not Rei. No, Rei Ayanami felt no need to leave as she found her apartment still where it was when she arrived, and that the Commander would more than likely question her leaving to an unknown home without reporting it to NERV.

She sat alone, in the dark, on a wooden chair with a pharmacy like medicine bag on her lap. For a moment, she hesitated before opening the bag to glare at the contents. The bag was ministered by Dr. Akagi, a medication the Commander had her take for unknown reasons.

She hated it; this was one thing she despised taking; it made her end up being so…

Dead looking. ""I... DO not enjoy this." She murmured softly, glaring before she swallowed the pill.

A few minutes later, Shinji had finished dinner with ease; Asuka, luckily, wasn't picky so he made a simple dish for the trio. Though Pen-Pen had, unknown to Asuka and much to Shinji's amusement, went to the restroom for a bath; a very funny reminder of his first encounter of the penguin.

Misato, meanwhile, had dressed into her house clothes and chugged another beer down. "YEEAAAH!" She sighed happily, slamming her beer bottle down as Shinji washed dished. "Ah now THAT is the way to go after a quick shower!"

Shinji chuckled, before bursting into laughter at the sound of Asuka screamed and bird wings flapping coming from the bathroom. The Second Child came rushing out the bathroom, like Shinji before her, in her birthday suit eyes wide in shock and looking to Misato for answers. "T-There's some weird animal in the shower!" She cried out, looking down with curious eyes as Pen-Pen walked past him.

"Oh, that? That probably just Pen-Pen," Shinji said, his laughter fading as he turned to face Asuka. "He's apparently some penguin that was-"

Shinji's eyes went wide as his face grew red at Asuka's figure, before he threw his apron and dish towel to her. "PUT SOME FUCKING CLOTHES ON, YOU STREAKER!" He yelled, making Asuka glare and look to what he meant. When she realized she came out naked, Asuka blushed mad and glared swords and daggers to Shinji.

"EHHHH?!" She rushed forward, and sent a kick to Shinji, but somehow he managed to use the giant pan he was washing as a shield. Asuka backed away, covering her parts with a blush and enraged look. "You pervert! Idiot, unbelievable!"

"Oh, so that's how you thank me for making you food huh?!" Shinji asked, jumping up as Asuka wrapped the towel over her legs and placed the apron on. "I swear, this had to be a nightmare…."

"See, Misato? This is why I hate guys!"

"This is why I don't like girls, their so damn emotional!" And like that, the pair got into another argument much to Misato and Pen-Pen's humor.

"Man, you guys…. See, your already being honest with one another!" She said happily, looking to Pen-Pen who was drinking a beer via straw. "Business is booming, huh Pen-Pen?"

An hour passed, and the group fell into sleep. Misato and Pen-Pen drank themselves to sleep, "Partying on" in her room before knocking out while Asuka and Shinji slept in their own bedrooms.

Mother, just killed a man,

Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger now he's dead,

Mother, life had just begun,

But now I've and thrown it all away….,

"Mother! Oooooohh…." Shinji hummed the song softly, looking at all the things Asuka had apparently brought from Germany. Just how big was her room then, what mansion size? All her crap could fill this whole apartment! Shinji thought, sitting up. Ah, to hell with it… I need a drink.

Leaving the comfort of his room, Shinji traversed through the hallway into the kitchen, opening the fridge to find a soda. Not much, aside from booze, booze, some whiskey and…. "Soda!" Shinji cheered quietly, pulling out the drink. "Hope Misato doesn't mind."

He thought for a moment as he drank away his thoughts, looking to his room with a frown. He felt that he should speak with…. Him. Even if he was still awake though, Shinji deep down knew the Commander wouldn't answer him. The Commander wasn't one to waste time on simple things, even his own son. Its one of the many things that made Shinji and SHiro distant from the cold-hearted bastard. "Someday…." He whispered, tightening his grip on the soda. "I will make you atone, Commander…."

1st Municipal Junior High School, Tokyo-3

The next morning was as usual as ever, people traversed through the fortress city of Tokyo-3 casually as always. Buildings rose and people passed without a care in the world, as most had grown used to it. Shinji yawned, looking down to see Toji and Kensuke waited outside their school. The 14 year old couldn't help but smile; at least there were some things away from NERV and Misato's home to look forward to. One of those being those two, possibly the only two who could get him to laugh and smile outside of home.

The other, obviously, being hanging out with Shiro. Though there were times he questioned his sanity and beliefs in enjoyment….

"SAY WHAAAAT?!"

This being one of those times.

"Sh-She has to LIVE with you now?!" Toji gasped in sheer horror, questioning his faith in Shinji. "I won't be able to see Misato anymore!"

Shinji turned to glare at Toji, who quickly backed off. "A-And you t-to, Shinji! You too…."

"I wonder if only weirdos are allowed to pilot EVA?" Kensuke questioned, though neither boy bothered to answer.

"W-Well at least we probably won't see her again," Toji suggested. "You know, with her being from universities and all…."

"I pray that you're right…." Shinji groaned.

"But, hey! It's your Jay-oh-bee, so you can't help it!" Toji 'reassured', patting a depressed Shinji's back. "I feel for ya!"

"And I envy you…." Kensuke said, with small tears in his eyes. All of a sudden the door shifted to the side, and the trio looked to see….

"No… No, no, no, no, no, NO GOD PLEASE NO!" Shinji and Toji screamed in horror, while Kensuke sweat dropped worryingly as Asuka, standing in a school uniform, looked over with surprise.

"Oh, so you three are in this room too huh?" Asuka asked, sticking her tongue out. "Losers! Nyaaa!"

Shinji glared for a moment to Shikinami as she introduced herself to the class. You know… Maybe she isn't so bad, he thought, watching her move to the empty seat beside him as looked away and twirled his pen. She might just be like that due to piloting EVA….

Besides, no matter how much I despise her living with me, I'm glad to have a fourth EVA and pilot to add to NERV's arsenal. "Opps," Shinji looked in time to see his pen lad beside Asuka's foot. She, in turn, picked it and handed it to him. "Thanks."

Shinji blinked, looking to see his pen stuck to his hand. He looked to his palm to see a wad of gum on his pen, now stuck to his palm. I take it back, he thought irritably as Asuka snickered at him. ARGH! Fucking hate this man! First I live with a drunk Colonel, now I have to live with this one while dealing with my Terminator of a father…. How bad can this day get?

NERV Tabitha Lunar Base, the Moon

Meanwhile, hundreds of miles in outer space, a lone space shuttle begun it's descend towards the Moon. Across the Moon laid a laid a red streak of what could only be described as blood. Some speculated on how it was possible, though most believed it to have been artificially made by NERV's Tabitha Base.

"Odd, we're directly in front of Tabitha Base and yet they won't authorize a landing." Fuyutsuki questioned aloud. It was odd to see the Lunar Base so active, yet no one seemed to acknowledge their presence.

"SEELE is playing their cards dirty," Commander Ikari responded, looking with his professor to see EVA Unit Mk.06 under development. It was uncovered to reveal a dark grey lined humanoid form, with its helmet being moved towards its masked head. "Construction of EVA Mk.06 is all but different than the usual Evangelion construction idea. Physically being here helps to confirm that theory."

"If I recall, nothing else was to be built after Unit 05…" Fuyutsuki stated.

"Indeed, though it is possibly via the undisclosed Dead Sea Scroll Apocrypha." Gendo retorted, glancing to the wrapped up "Lance" passing above them. "SEELE seems to be wanted to use them as a means to quicken their plans."

"But even then, SEELE should have realized NERV's ultimate goal in the end."

"Even so, we have to continue forward; even if it means defying the word and acts of God himself. "Gendo blinked, looking towards MK.06's hand. Sitting on one of the finger was a shirtless character, with albino white hair staring down towards Mk.06 under construction.

"A human? Impossible!" Fuyutsuki exclaimed, though this was proven otherwise. The figure seemed to turn his head, smiling towards the pair eerily. He spoke, though they could not hear his voice clearly.

"NERV Space Transport 387, this is Tabitha Base Command. Apologies for the delay, we've been working around the clock with construction of the Evangelion." A voice cracked through the speakers of the shuttle. "Your shuttle is now under Tabitha command, we will bring you in."

"Odd." Fuyutsuki whispered, catching the Commanders attention.

"Hm?"

"I said is it odd, the only now giving clearance after the discovery of the person outside."

"More than likely a simple error in outer vision, most must be watching the Evangelion's construction more than anything else."

A few moments later, and the NERV commanders found themselves off the shuttle and in Tabitha Base's Command Center. The base was built in a similar fashion to NERV HQ, underground though without a Geo-Front. The Command Center was circular, with a cruise ship like bow at the far wall with small bows connected to its narrow sides. "They certainly have changed the Base." Fuyutsuki commented, looking down at the 3D model of the outside, showing MK.06's construction.

"It means nothing should equipment fail or it be inoperable." Commander Ikari replied. "People are like machines, in a sense. One can make a whole group fall apart. That is one thing that cannot be tolerated with the Angel's attacking of Tokyo-3."

"Indeed," a voice called above the two, revealing it to be a person standing above them. He wore dark brown boots with jet black jeans; with a set of brown lines on their legs with a belt. He wore several wrapped bandages on his stomach, his chest covered by a maroon jacket like long sleeve with a trapeze shaped opening showing his bandages. His shoulders seemed almost baggy, as if pushed up to reveal sight silver sleeves which ended at his wrists with cuffs.

Above his collar was his face, covered by a back oval shaped mask connected to a helmet which had small triangular points in an upside down fashioned star. On the oval mask was the word "VEELE" in bold red. "Greetings, Gendo Ikari and Kozo Fuyutsuki." The man, VEELE, spoke in a watery voice. "Welcome to Tabitha Lunar Base, commanders. We've been expecting your arrival."

"I see." Commander Ikari stated, emotionless still. He didn't like VEELE; he was like a tattletale to SEELE, always telling them what he discovered or knew of regarding the Instrumentality Project of NERV. "Tell me, VEELE, what is the meaning of Mk.06's construction?"

"The Committee feels that construction of Unit MK.06 is necessary to maintain control of the Scenario due to the loss of Evangelion Unit 05." VEELE explained, leading them out the Command Center and into another part of the Base. "And with Unit 04 already under my command and enroute NERV's US Branch, Mk.06 will be under direct control of SEELE. Nothing otherwise at the moment will due."

The trio found themselves before a large bulkhead door, which began hissing and opening. They stood behind a glass frame as the door opened to reveal the boy from earlier entering the Base. "Hello, Commander Gendo Ikari and Sub-Commander Kozo Fuyutsuki." The boy greeted, smiling as he spoke. Fuyutsuki felt something under his skin, a feeling of dread and anxiety, as if he was in danger suddenly by being near this boy. He glanced to Commander Ikari why, while he didn't physically show it, flinched at the proximity of the boy.

He doesn't seem threatening, Fuyutsuki thought, watching the boy as he placed on a shirt, still smiling too. But, this is SEELE's Fifth Child. Not a lot is known about their… raising methods. Is it possibly they cloned him from Angel DNA?

"I am the Fifth Child, Kaworu Nagisa, a pleasure to make your acquaintance."
