Groan! I was back on track for a week then Halloween shows up and my obsession with the damn day caused me to miss. Went to see Paranormal Activity 2, good movie I think. Mainly due to the fact I think the original actress was a bitch I found myself liking the sequel better. Oh well, go out, get a costume, got to a party, and have fun for those we've lost!

The Gift
Chapter – 29
It was a true first in Misato's life, but she wasn't sure if it was something to revel in or be horrified by. Seeing a true fanatic was something to behold, and Misato saw a perfect example of one in Urd's sister. Just over a week since the last angel and the subsequent upping of ante, Misato handed the new demoness her Nerv badge. She should have known something was horribly wrong the moment Skuld dropped her notepad after seeing Unit-01.
"Am I going to need to get a hose to knock her off of that thing? Maybe some grease to help pry her off of the damn thing when its time to go?" Misato asked the elder sister to her right. Despite the hectic nature of the previous week, Misato felt damn good. It didn't hurt that Shinji was released from the hospital the night before which allowed her to get her pent up frustrations dealt with. Finally, it had been her turn to rage on the young lad for his stupidity and demand payment in an hour long exhibition of Shinji's prowess.
Sipping from her coffee mug, the hint of bourbon wafting off of it, Urd shrugged and leaned against a panel of computers. "If you think this is bad, just wait until she actually finishes whatever insane plans she has," Urd chuckled as a far off look crested her eyes. Blinking fast, "She once made a tenth dimensional scythe capable of destroying a universe and she dry humped it. Had she been older she might have tried using it as a personal friend replacement."
Scoffing, Maya started coughing having just sat down and getting more than an earful. "What kind of people does Nerv hire nowadays? No offense Urd-san, but the last three new employees are a bit off if you ask me," Maya just shook her head and started working on a ten page set of requests the newest addition to Ritsuko's team set before her. "And why does she need to have all these readings and calibrations? Its not like she can really improve upon the Evangelions," she snorted again.
A very pleasant memory of this mornings wake up kiss from her now forgiven lover, Misato just batted at Maya playfully. "This coming from a girl who has a thing for taught black leather," covering her mouth Misato tittered joyously. "Oh and Maya-chan be a dear and keep all this little 'extra dimensional' entity stuff just among us alright? If word gets out about that spot on the sun you can be assured of chaos and anarchy," Misato's tone dropped all playfulness.
"Who was the idiot that thought a polydactyl alloy would be the best conductor of electricity for these!" Skuld bellowed as she was literally climbing up Unit-01's arm. Ripping open panel after panel, all the girl did was scream out orders and complaints. "Benpei-kun get started on converting all of these wires! That alone should increase the battery life by about an hour," Skuld hoped off and landed next to her new assistant. "Akagi, what are you using for an engine in my new toy?" Skuld asked while talking a thermos filled with chocolate ice-cream from Ritsuko's hand.
With a wireless earbud in her ear, Ritsuko's beautiful face was marred with deep circles under her eyes and a haggard expression. "For the last time I wasn't involved with the initial creation of the Eva's! I was smoking pot and in college for damn sake! The damn day they found out how to use LCL I was with Kaji!" Ritsuko shrieked in frustration.
Leaning against the metal dividing bar, her rump swaying from side to side, Misato was the epitome of overjoyed. "I so love watching her freak out like this. You don't know what it means to see the woman that lorded herself over you as the height of female intelligence and maturity broken down," she sighed contently as she rested her cheek on her palm. It didn't matter that Ritsuko just confessed to sleeping with her at the time boyfriend, no it was well worth it to watch her squirm under Skuld's assault.
Grabbing her hair in frustration, Ritsuko tugged hard on her golden locks. "No Mot…Naoko-san I was NOT going to tell you that" Ritsuko cried into the wireless receiver. Falling back against the wall, the frazzled doctor pulled out a cigarette and popped it into her mouth, appearing to be on the verge of tears, "Does it matter if I used a condom back then? I didn't get sick or pregnant! POT IS GOOD FOR STRESS RELIEF!" after her scream her head sank down and her body slumped against the wall. At random intervals her body would shiver and shake, intermittent with agonized sobs.
"I've seen Skuld break women in less time," Urd recounted as she headed over to Maya's console. Daintily wrapping her arms around the timid girl's body, connected just below Maya's chin, Urd pressed her head against the tech's. "How you doing sweetness? Not thinking about how you got Shin-baby kicked out of the hospital for your little 'call me queen' comment?" Urd kissed Maya's cheek as the girl 'eeped' and tried to draw in on herself.
Squirming uncontrollably, Maya rocked against the flesh confines of Urd's arms. Finding no escape, she dropped her arms to her sides and blew the hair out of her eyes. "Fine, I admit it. I was upset at him for not going to Misato after I told him about Yagami…" Maya reluctantly started. With Urd's head pressing harder and harder against hers, the two looking like a pair of balloons tilted on their sides, Maya groaned again. "And I was horny alright? I really missed being with him that I let the time together go to my head…will you…back off now?" she pleaded.
Arms crossed and gently cupping her belly button, Misato clicked her tongue disapprovingly. "And here we thought you were the small mousy girl that would be the trophy wife of Makoto or Shigeru," Misato mocked openly. Hopping up on the metal bar, the leader of Nerv tactical straddled the bar dangerously. It was a pail imitation of the heat that her stallion could generate but the sensation was nice. "You never did explain this whole business with us violating those trial things. All I know is that once the sun is shadowed out we're going to have a real shit storm," she cooed lightly as she hit the sweet spot on accident. Curling her leg back over the bar, Misato was glad nobody else was around as that hadn't actually happened as she wanted.
Pulling away from her intimate embrace, Urd's have laden eyes followed Maya's blush spread from face to full body. "Not much to tell really. Once the sun is dark as you said, the true enemy will come. If we can force him to leave this plane we win, blocking him from interacting with this planet directly forever. Agents of Order can still come, but only at the call of somebody," Urd held her hand out and examined her fingernails. Scratching at her thumb she bite off an offending piece of bone. "Problem is, only elements of this plane can compete or they get wiped out entirely. So if your toys can't do the job, we all die or get captured," Urd spat out the offending nail piece and grinned at her now perfect fingers.
"Bullshit! How the hell could your side agree so such lopsided terms?" Misato spat out. Watching as Skuld rubbed suggestively against one of her wrenches, she grimaced and again was glad she had never gotten that far gone. "God can set the terms so balls crazy in his favor and you just LET him do that?" it sounded stupid! How could the balance be so shifted towards Order and Chaos just let it happen.
Dropping her tools with a clatter, Skuld hurdled off Unit-01 to the observation deck. "You say that like we had a choice in the matter," the ex-Goddess of the Future said deadpan. Fluffing her hair, and in the process smeared LCL all over her face. "The True enemy set these rules because he currently has the most power. Had we the option things wouldn't be this way, but the small minded bastard runs things. We have to obey as its part of how you humans created the world," Skuld maturely stuck her tongue out at Misato. Grabbing a set of printouts from Maya, Skuld moaned, "This LCL needs to be replaced with a neuropeptide solution! It's not made from Urd's grandmother and it'll increase synchronization without fear of absorption," Skuld just rolled her eyes and jumped back to Unit-01.
"What little miss sunshine said is basically correct," Urd tried to apologize for Skuld. With a wave of her hand the LCL trail that Skuld had made vanished as Urd placed the conjoined fluid into her mouth and suckled it off her finger. "The rules were made because they HAD to be, not because the fucker wanted them made. As such it's all skewed in his favor. But if she can do half the stuff she thinks she can…" Urd just shrugged and headed for the door.
Taking a few steps after her, Misato stopped and looked down at her untied shoes. "Are our chances really that slim?" she hated that fear in her voice. It was just like the angels only worse. She had brought this upon them all, her reluctance to chance Shinji's death might have doomed everybody. But what was it worth living if she had to sacrifice the only thing in her life that mattered? "And where are you off to, to get your yell in on him?" she hadn't seen Urd or Shinji talk much since the recovery. That made Misato worried, but for what reason she didn't even know.
Stopping at the door, the lime green metallic divider sliding to the right, Urd put her hand on the edge. "They're piss poor, a real miracle is going to be needed to pull this one out of our collective derrières," her hand slapped the frame hard. "As for Shin-baby and me, we've come to an agreement. He owes me one. As for where I'm going, I'm going to make sure nobody breaks our favorite cutie pie," and with that the door closed and Urd was gone.
For a full minute, Misato stared at the closed door. She hadn't forced anybodies hands, but she still felt responsible. Urd was scared, hell she was terrified every time she looked at the sky and saw that damn dot. But they had to true, had to do something and at least now they had a full pilot core to work with. They had to survive, had to win, or have as much fun before they died as they could. Hearing Ritsuko's mournful sobs back to the listening trio did lift Misato's spirits, but it was a cold joy…she never felt like calling Shinji out of school more in her life.

Sitting in the pilfered Literary Club room, Shinji picked at his lunch under the gaze of the SOS Brigade. Being his first day back from a week long stay in the hospital for observation, he was a little worried at the sudden zeal Touji's 'non-girlfriend' had for his attendance of the daily lunch meeting. He felt welcome by everybody save Touji, who glowered every time Mari came within a hands distance of him. The illustrious leader was in rare form, he noticed, as the energy level the girl was exuding was radiant.
"Ikari, have you been paying attention to the news lately? I know you were all in the hospital, but they have televisions and stuff in some rooms, so you have to know what's been going on!" Haruhi gushed as she picked at the lunch Mari provided for her. Her eyes were wide and glorious, her mouth open in a mighty toothy grin, Haruhi was a powder keg. "What's your take on this, your whole organization?" she practically flung herself across the table.
Looking up from her book, her lunch sitting on her lap, Yuki turned ever so slightly to Shinji. Her eye lashes fluttering as the shift in light assaulted her eyes, "She is referring to the dark spot on the sun, if you were unable to guess." With a slight adjustment to her glasses, and a small almost impossible to see smile fired off at Kensuke, she returned to one handed eating and reading.
Uncomfortable under the combined gaze of Touji, Kensuke, and their unquestioned commander, Shinji's shoulders boggled from side to side. He saw Mari looking at him, her hand trailed out then pulled back, but she appeared to have abandoned the option of helping him. "Didn't the scientists say it was just a sun spot or something? I thought they said it was an astrological miracle but hypothetically possible," he recited the evening news verbatim. No force on earth was going to get Shinji to confess to the truth that the end of the world might just be coming.
"Oh that's just the story they say to keep everybody from going crazy!" Haruhi expounded with by slapping her open palm against her small desk. As her monitor rattled back and forth, Haruhi leaned back in her chair and bounced about. "This has to be something bigger! I bet it's an alien invasion, or some elder god is about to attack us! That would be awesome! Earth's last chance at survival from annihilation! Wouldn't that just be the best?" Haruhi's eye was squarely on Touji, her smile infectious.
His face suddenly bursting into a fierce blush, Touji wiped at the rice smudged against his face. "Uh, I have to agree with Shin-man. This is just some normal crap from space, or something," he fumbled under her visual assault. He weakened as an audible grown flooded the room, "But it could be something bigger I guess. I just hope it isn't going to hurt us or anything." Waving his hands at his friends, Touji silently pleaded for help.
Catching the unspoken request for aid, and wanting desperately to change the topic as well, Shinji skidded his chair closer to the table. The noise was deafening in the small confines of the room, but it was a great distraction. "Oh I noticed a lot of the books from last time I was here are gone, a-are those games?" Shinji pointed at the shelves where Yuki's collection was quickly changing from paper based to various game and anime memorabilia.
Waving his hands quickly, Kensuke shot out of his seat and grabbed Shinji's arm. "It's nothing to worry about really!" He turned to his girlfriend who was still reading and nibbling without paying much attention. "Just…just if you see her with her bunny earphones on leave her be and don't…DON'T check what's on her computer ok?" Kensuke put his hand pleadingly before his face in a sign of prayer. "A-anyway, why don't we get to the real reason you called for Shinji to be at today's meeting Suzumiya-san?" Kensuke's creaked voice worked wonderfully with his nasally congestion.
A mighty clap resounded as Haruhi's chair fell forward and reconnected with the ground. Gracefully walking around the room, Haruhi latched her hands on Shinji's shoulders keeping her pray stationary. "Ikari, we want you to join the Brigade, scratch that, you are joining the Brigade," Haruhi's enthusiasm was lost on the other assimilated club members.
"Not to question you Suz…Haruhi," Touji started but changed his term as his almost girl friend stared him down. "Why the sudden zeal to get Shinji in? Before you said you didn't want him, but now you're all about it. Wanna tell us why you've changed your mind?" he waved his hand at Shinji. The unspoken exchange continued with Touji trying to save Shinji from the insanity.
Sipping on her tea, her maid outfit ruffling as the heater in the room assailed it, Mari just clasped her hands together. "Oh I think it would be lovely if Shin-chan joined our club! Having more members means we can help Haruhi-chan do a lot more of her little activities," Mari didn't register the collective sigh of the three males. Pouring herself another cup of tea, Mari just tittered mysteriously to herself.
Curling around Shinji, Haruhi jumped up on the table and set one of her feet on Shinji's shoulder. Never minding the fact she was flashing him her blue and white striped undergarments, she grinned viciously. "Well I think we need a playboy in the group to get the girls to join. We have Mari-chan and her huge breasts and personality to get the guys, but we need female sex appeal. With the rumor you banged Hokari so hard her hair turned white and you've got a big dick that would get all the girls attention," Haruhi said without a hint of embarrassment.
Brain shutting down, repeat brain shutting down, brace for impact with harsh reality! Shinji's mind tried to accept what he had just heard yet he had no hope of it. He hadn't spoken to Hikari since her unfortunate run in with the Lexicon left her and him in the throws of insane passion. He saw her before school started, but she quickly left the room and didn't return. Asuka had said not to worry about it, but he had noticed the new hair style. But what Haruhi was saying was she wanted him to join her club to seduce girls into joining it?
"HARUHI!" Touji yelled and knocked his seat over as he got up. Pounding his chest, Touji was just about as mentally frazzled as Shinji. "That's just a stupid rumor! Soryu even said it was a hair dye not that Shin-man caused it! As for his…his…that's just a rumor too!" Touji's head bobbed up and down as his hand waved up and down Shinji's body. Perched dangerously close to Haruhi, Touji was defiantly within her personal space.
Patting Touji's face with her hand, Haruhi's response was simply, "You're so cute when you're upset." Then she kissed her boyfriend, it was inevitable anyway, sending him falling back against the wall causing games to fall of the shelves. "Now as I was saying. You'd be responsible for keeping the new girls company for a while until they get used to the club. If the rumors are true you shouldn't have a problem serving them along with your other little girls. Right Mari-chan?" Haruhi turned to the Brigade's maid.
Her face suddenly tomato red, Mari's fist balled under her nose. Spying Shinji looking at her, Mari bashfully turned away. "He's not that big…but it feels like it, and he does have a lot of stamina," she said in just above a whisper. "Shinji-sama could easily do what you ask," she softly added and found herself locking gazes with her lover again.
The room was silent. A pencil fell off the table with the equivalent volume of a gun going off. Kensuke slowly got out of his seat and inched his way over to Yuki, who now had her book shut. Haruhi's grin was wider, so much so that it was eerie. Then there was Touji, who had stopped movie. He just stood statuesque, then his head turned up, robotic yet methodical.
"Ten seconds, Shinji, I'm giving you ten seconds to get out of this room before I come after you," Touji said calmly as he cracked his knuckles. "I suspected it, but now I know, and I hope you forgive me for this, but it's a matter of brotherly pride," he dusted his jacket off, and smiled at his sister. He felt her fingers lock around his wrist, but he knew he could break free. "I won't do this again, but just run man," he ended.
Shinji was long gone before Mari eventually let go. Haruhi was already writing up Shinji's entrance papers into the Brigade, he was to perfect.
For his part, Shinji's body worked perfectly well on autopilot. Finding a nice secluded janitors closet, he hide as Touji stormed past. He didn't get upset over Touji's reaction, hell Shinji sympathized with the jock. It wasn't everyday you hear for an undeniable fact that your sister was sleeping with somebody. How Mari deemed him worthy of caressing her flawless skin was beyond Shinji's ability to comprehend, yet he loved her dearly. But Mari and her fetish for mythological creatures had to take a back seat to Hikari. "I have to smooth things out," he mused as a cold chill worked over his body from top to bottom. Oddly the coldness centered on his crotch, odd fingerlike tendrils of cold.

With a crispness in her step that she hadn't had in a long time, Yui Yagami was about to get some much wanted revenge. Her existence was in shambles, left on a planet with little to know power and several very powerful enemies. But she still had one thing she wanted to do before those that knew of her true existence got a hold of her. Standing outside of the office doors, she took a deep breath and braced herself against the metallic divider.
"This is a pale reward for services rendered," Yui muttered as she pushed the door open. Over an hour late for her required 'daily meeting' with the Commander of Nerv, Yui was wanting to get just a little taste of justice before she was rendered limb from limb. It was a matter of time before the demons got her, hell she considered herself lucky to have avoided her demise as long as she had. "I just wish I had the power to take my real form on this realm and not this…imitation," she pawed at the tan uniform.
Looking over his stack of papers, mostly still sealed in official bindings, Gendo pushed his glasses up. Smiling sickly, "You are late, Yagami-kun. I hope you have a good excuse or I'll have to administer some punishment." He hit the button on his desk that remote locked the doors, an audible click filled the room. Getting out of his chair, Gendo made his way across the room as he started unbuttoning his shirt.
This was going to be sweet. A far, far way from being worth the guilt of destroying an entire planet, killing those who trusted and respected her, and likely getting her killed in the process but at least she could make this mortal suffer. For this pathetic sack of flesh did deserve a great deal of pain. Since she hadn't been off the plain before the trail was breached, Yui was stuck there until her master came to free her, but that was to long a wait.
Playfully undoing the first to buttons of her uniform, more to get some much needed air down the accursed thing, Yui came to a halt midway through the room. "Oh Ikari-san, I have such things to tell you. Things you'll just die to hear," she wrapped her arms around the man as he came within reach. One around his waist and the other cupped his head, while finding the man's flesh revolting, Yui needed him close. "But do you think you're ready to hear it?" she batted her eye lashes and pulled her head back out of his kissing range.
Reeking of repressed sexual urges, Gendo's face remained neutral as his head bounced up and down like an excited puppy. "If you're going to tell me the Third Child died in his hospital room, I'll marry you right here," Gendo's eye twitched slightly as his head jerked. "For to long that boy has taken what was mine, got in my way, and now that I'm going to have all I wish for I no longer need him," he tried moving his hand to grab that breast he abused so much but found his hand slapped away. "Yui, do I need to get physical?" he threatened.
With one mighty gesture, Yui pulled her arms back and open palm slammed the sexual deviant in the solar plexus. The soothing crack of wood splintering and papers ruffling greeted her as her eyes opened, a peculiar sexual thrill wormed down her spine and stained her garments. "So this is what you felt when you hit me?" she tilted her head as she asked. Sauntering over to the pile of debris, the man climbing out of it coughing up dust, she kicked at his hand sending him back down. "No, no dear, you're so much nicer down there," she cooed and ran a finger along his chin.
Coughing up blood, more shocked than really hurt, Gendo just rubbed at his face and gut. "Bitch, we have a deal! I let you do what you want and I get what I want! And I want to hurt you now…oh do I want to hurt you," he coughed again. Shuffling to a seated position he flinched as Yui rushed up and moved to slap him, but stopped a foot away from him. "You can't do this to me, all I have to do is let Seele know about you and…" Gendo did feel Yui's long and slender fingers across his face that time.
Flexing her fingers, petit droplets of blood flecked off, Yui knelt before the man. "You're little group of conspirators are dead or gone, and you know that. You, however, were able to escape the judgment you deserved for trying to abandon my Master," Yui lightly patted Gendo's cheek. "So blinded by greed and lust you were, so eager to do what I wished without knowing it was all to ride this world of the likes of you," she kicked out his propped up hand then sat on his chest as he recovered.
"D-don't hurt me, a-anything you want…I'll give you an-anything just…" Gendo pleaded as he beheld Yui radiating power. The room glowed a pale blue as a light emanated out of the woman's body. "W-what are you?" he blubbered as for a brief moment a vision of super human beauty flashed out from behind the pale visage of the late Yui Ikari.
Grabbing Gendo by the hair, Yui slammed his head back against a plank of destroyed desk. "I'm what you wished to destroy. An agent of Order. But I have been defiled and infected by your sick touch. Your ugly excuse of love, which pales to what your son can do might I add, has come to an end." Yui did see the boy and his flock as something to envy. Even the demons felt true love from that boy, and as she spied on them saw he was a very accommodating lover in ways the father had no way of knowing.
Pressing her forehead against Gendo's, Yui blessed the man by showing him the closest approximation of Yui Ikari's face smiling at him. The cursed him by actually letting him see the departed woman's true disapproving expression. Getting off the man, "This affair is over, sir. You may run and flee this place now and never come back. Because if I see you, smell you, or even hear you again I will tear your heart out and feed it to you before your carcass can hit the ground," and with a foot stomp that put a small dent in the floor, Yui walked off.
Oh that chill of pleasure was working its way down her back with a course sent for a shower visit. She'd have to work that one out or be way to distracted all day. Reports needed to be filed explaining the Commander's retirement, her taking over of command. Oh and she was due to meet several of her command staff for supper tonight. Hopefully she'd get the chance to meet them, they were all great people even if flawed, but if the demons or Metatron got her…well she couldn't refute their demand for vengeance.
But if nothing else, she spared them from having to deal with the pig of a man she left smelling of urine and shame. "Maybe today is a good day to die?" she asked as she buttoned her shirt back up and headed off to her fate.
X-X
Shivering for the countless time that day, Shinji dropped the cloth he was using to clean down the chalkboard. "Is it me, Honya-chan, or is it really cold in here from time to time?" he asked the current iteration of Ayanami Rei. Peculiarly he could tell which Rei was with him and today was Bookish-Rei, so he playfully used her nickname as they were alone. "It comes and goes, but it's been happening all day," he rubbed his arm as the phantom tendrils lingered.
Looking over Shinji's shoulder, the Rei dubbed 'librarian girl' covered her mouth with her hand. Suppressing a giggle, "I am fine Shin-chan. Though you might state your inquiry to Hokari-kun," Bookish-Rei's expression softened yet remained in an empty space just to Shinji's side. "Or maybe you are coming down with something, perhaps a trip to the infirmary?" she offered before turning back to her duty fixing the chairs.
Odd, the moment Rei mentioned Hikari the chill vanished. "Maybe you're right, I've been getting these odd cold spells all day," Shinji tossed his cloth in the provided bucket. "I've finished my part, but if you want I can help you finish before I go," he offered as he already started helping. His week spent in the hospital hadn't been all fun and games. A lot of it was spent thinking, thinking about all those special to him. While they all came, one after another, to let him have a taste of their anger they all forgave him. But did he forgive himself? Well…he had his reasons for not using the Lexicon to augment himself as they suggested he do.
In silence, Bookish-Rei just ran her hand down Shinji's arm and nodded. Her eyes spoke better for her than her voice. Drawing up close to the lad as the last desk was cleaned, she fluttered her glorious red orbs, again glanced over Shinji's side, then sighed. A quick kiss to the cheek, "Go see the nurse, Love, I have business with my sisters today so our…personal time will have to be exchanged at a later date," her tone didn't match with the actions she was painfully showing. "And never let it be said we've never done others a good deed," and with that cryptic comment Rei embraced her human and then walked out the door.
"Well that was unexpected," Shinji mused with a hint of regret. Honya-chan had been one of the few Rei's Shinji hadn't apologized too and he had actually planned something special for his little librarian. As that damnable cold spell worked its way back into him, again more focused on his lower half, Shinji sneezed. Gathering his satchel he rubbed his nose and hustled to the nurses' station. The waxing sun coated everything in a golden yellow that overpowered all their natural colors.
Sliding the door open, Shinji peeked in hoping Hiroko wasn't there today. It wasn't that he found her unattractive or anything, and she was a demon in the sack, but he felt he was using her and lying to her. One was true while the other was just a side effect, but it made the lad feel abusive. "Anybody in here? Hello?" he called out as he wandered deeper into the small alcove. He could see the empty beds, all tightly made with white linen and a separating curtain between them. Nobody was here, more the pity he guessed. "Maybe a nap will do me some good," he yawned and sat on the closest bed.
Falling back against the thin mattress, Shinji's vision swam with the sudden burst of speed. "Never did get to talk to Hokari-san today," he grimaced and turned to his side. Between Hiroko and Hikari, Shinji didn't know what really to say to the women. The art teacher had been a holy warrior, and now she'd likely lost her powers due. Hikari…Hikari was another victim of that book, the Lexicon truly was a dangerous tome in the wrong hands. What did she think of him? He had done things with her that he hadn't done with anybody else, and it was all that books fault. His body went ridged as the door opened however, his privacy was no longer.
"Oh, Ikari-k-kun, I didn't expect to s-see you in here," Takashiro's strained voice permeated the small room. Her footsteps clacked with unsteadiness and an unnatural stutter step. "A-are you not feeling well today, o-or did you come knowing I was going to be here?" an uncertainty in her tone followed her sitting on the bed and her hand brushed up against Shinji's head before pulling away.
Rolling onto his back, Shinji did his best to not show his apprehension. "Not feeling to well today Hiroko-chan. I've got odd chills that come and go. Thought I might take a nap," he admitted. Knowing her for the touchy feely type, at least she was after he nearly broke her upon her attempted seduction of him, Shinji limply wrapped his arm around her bicep. The reaction of her 'eeping' and jumping caught him off guard, "Hiroko-chan, something wrong?" he sat up with a dark thought growing in his chest.
"No-no nothing wrong at all I-Ikari-kun," Hiroko forced out. Alternating from her arm to Shinji's body, the teacher turned assistance nurse closed her eyes. Her body bucked slightly, forward and back against its will as if electrocuted. "A-are you sure you didn't come to see me? I've be-been seeing a lot of boys lately and they all…all have been playing at being sick just to…to g-get with me," the awkward exchange lingered in the air heavily.
Hoisting himself to a better position, Shinji's nervousness was growing. Something was very wrong with Hiroko. Normally she was flirty and openly pawing at him when they were alone, and yet now she was acting as if they hadn't spared a bed more than ten times. "Hiro-chan…what is it? Did somebody actually try something with you? I know you go to far with trying to find that book, did somebody overstep their bounds this time?" he grabbed her shoulders and forced her to look at him.
Her head dipped down, breathing hitching and pitching as that spastic jerking continued. "S-stop calling me 'chan' I-Ikari-kun, you s-shouldn't call me that," she bit on her finger as her left hand trailed down to Shinji's chest and clutched the cloth tightly. "A-a student and a t-teacher doing such t-things is wro-wrong and we know it," she gasped and brought a leg up on the bed.
Shaking the woman briskly once, "Hiro-chan what are you talking about? You're the one that insisted I call you that when we were alone." If she wanted to end their little tryst that was fine, but the act of it never happening really hurt him. Some of the things the red-head said were so full of passion and emotion that Shinji liked to lie and believe them. But to have her just outright say 'this never happened' was akin to a punch in the chest. "Are you upset that we've…I mean I know at first you were just trying to seduce me to learn if I knew about that book, but after I thought…we…you know had something?" Shinji shrugged.
"Oh God she actually loves you," Hiroko said suddenly with a gasp. Breaking away from Shinji's grasp, the woman back peddled and fell into the adjacent bed. "You and her…Shinji-kun how many women are you…are the rumors true? Are you a playboy or something?" the tone and energy in the woman's voice shifted instantly to being alien to her.
He knew that vocal texture, he had learned to fear and respect it ever since he came to this school. But that was impossible, only Hikari sounded like that! "Hokari-san…" he quipped and shifted on the bed. "What is going on here?" he finally shouted getting to his feet. Too much strangeness was going on, and Shinji wanted to know just what the hell was happening. "Hiroko-chan, please just tell me what is wrong and I can try and help," if that meant telling the truth about the Lexicon, Shinji could hope the woman wasn't to hurt by his deceit.
Kicking her legs up on the bed, Hiroko lied down and closed her eyes. A blinding flash of white light later and Hikari was standing at the bedside as the other woman lay sleeping on the cot. "S-sorry Ikari-kun, I-I-I possessed her. I wanted to talk to you, but I've just…I haven't been myself lately and I was worried about talking to you directly," Hikari rambled as she ran her hands over themselves. "I-I didn't know you two had something going on, thought it was just another silly rumor, I-I…oh god this is just to much," Hikari frantically turned to the door.
Had he not acted when he had, Hikari would have bolted, but Shinji latched onto the frenzied girl. "Hokari-san calm down! Calm down," he started loud and gradually decreased in intensity. Guiding her back to the bed and its nice edge, the pair sat, Shinji holding Hikari's hand more to keep her from running again than for any real emotional support. "Now, why don't you start at the beginning? I know things have been hard…or odd for you lately, but running wont' help. I know that personally," he tried smiling to calm her but she was so frazzled he doubted she even saw it.
"I saw her thoughts…when you kept calling her 'chan' she melted inside a little more, and I was having a hard time keeping her under my spell," Hikari's head flinched towards the napping adult. "I felt her feelings…and her wanting…and that just made my own so much worse," the formal girl's body crumpled against Shinji's. "That woman said it'd take a week or more to get my cravings under control, Ikari-kun, and I was able to take care of most of them myself…but its just been growing and growing! I-I don't know who else to turn to!" she almost whimpered the last statement in shame.
It was that night over again! Hikari needed an outlet for whatever force was in her now, and she didn't have anybody. But, Shinji didn't want to take advantage of the poor girl! While it wasn't really a crush, Shinji had originally had a strong admiration of Hikari when he first came to Tokyo-3. A strong, determined, moderately attractive woman who could when she wanted be cute. "H-Hikari-san, are you talking about…what happened last time?" his chin dipped as he leaned closer, forehead touching hers.
Squeezing Shinji's hand tighter, Hikari's eye let a lone tear drop. "You must think me a whore or something. Here you are with people you actually care for, and then out of nowhere I come and you…I…and now I'm here again…what is wrong with me? I love what happened to me, but this, craving, is to much to deny anymore!" she pushed Shinji over and onto his back. "What can I do, Ikari-kun? I lost Touji to Suzumiya and even Kensuke is with Nagato. But you…you have more than one…Asuka says I could…" her head waved fiercely from side to side.
She was lonely and feeling abandoned! Shinji knew that feeling all to well. Had he not gotten that cursed blessing he'd likely still feel that way. In that moment, Shinji felt he understood Hikari a lot better. Cupping her cheek, "Hikari-chan, this isn't a very normal way to start a relationship. But…if you're feeling lonely…and you don't mind the fact that there are others…" he knew how chauvinistic sounded, but it was true. He had little in the way of male ego, he left that to the strong willed women in his life, but Shinji accepted he did have a lot larger pool of available women than most men dream of.
"B-but we hardly know each other! And what about Asuka! She's my best friend and yet I've…with you…and I want to…" Hikari's eyes drifted down to Shinji's now noticeable bulge. "This is just so strange. I want to, you want to, but if feel it's wrong somehow?" she didn't sound so sure. Drifting lower, lower…lower, Hikari sampled Shinji's lips despite her claim to not wish it. Again, this time longer, again now open mouthed, and finally she just laid upon the boy. "I've fallen for a playboy, my sister would kill me," she moaned as she sat back up.
Blushing fiercely, Shinji didn't know really how to take all the sudden 'playboy' comments. He was hardly a man to go out hunting for women, it was just an odd sort of luck that brought them to him. "How did that rumor get st..arted," Shinji's mind shut down as Hikari's body went transparent for a brief moment and her clothing all fell to the way side. She was far from the most attractive women he'd loved, but she had a charm about her just as Urd claimed. In her normal-ness was a sublime and simple beauty. Breasts far smaller than Asuka and Rei's were adorned with dark brown nipples, he found fit into his hands perfectly.
"Just teasing you, S-Shin-chan," Hikari said the word as if sampling it like a chocolate. Moaning softly as rocked against Shinji's ministrations, she grabbed his left hand and briskly drew it down towards her tuft of lower white mane. "B-but you do have…ooohh…a way with…ah-ah…right there…the la-la-ladies," she yipped as Shinji's well trained hands inched slowly around the edges of her flower.
All hail captain Libido of the SS Esper Tamer! Freed from his confines, shooting the other mental compatriots with tranq darts, Libido was in control now. No more of this 'is it wrong to make love to her without knowing her better' bull. He hardly knew Ritsuko when they started, and now he would take a bullet for that oddity of a scientist. And Hikari was oh so tasty rubbing against him…plain yes…but that white hair did add a dainty uniqueness that she hadn't had before. Queer way to begin a relationship, at its end, but what the hell.
His left hand kept running along the taught folds as he left went to unfasten his slacks, but Shinji found Hikari was by far superior at kissing than Asuka was. Maybe it was the lack of raw strength, perhaps it was the inexperience and overcompensation, whatever it was Shinji found himself groaning as that lithe muscle of hers combated his own. After several tense moments of building pressure, Shinji was nervous he'd spoil the event prematurely, but with a touch of Hikari's hand he found himself sitting on his clothing. "H-how you do that?" he gasped as he pulled back and rubbed his cheek against hers.
"I-I can shift through things l-like a ghost," Hikari murmured as she pitched forward. "W-watch this," she giggled and in display of her new powers, she phased her lower body out of sync with normal reality. The result was Shinji's manhood no longer found itself constrained and jumped to its height. Then she phased back after carefully lining it up. "Oh-oh….oh…h-hold it fo…mmmmmh" she moaned and lightly bit into Shinji's shoulder.
Shinji had felt many a woman's flower wrap around him before, but Hikari seemed to have a stranglehold on him. How she managed to not hurt herself in her display of otherworldly power was beyond him, as it was nearly a perfect fit. "So hot, so tight," he moaned and wrapped his arms around her waist and crushed her against him. With her sitting on his lap, arms wrapped around him, Shinji felt such heat pouring out of her. "You were causing those cold chills weren't you? W-wafting around me all day?" he couldn't help himself but to pump once into that dewy encasement.
Her bust crushed against Shinji's body, Hikari's tiny points dug into Shinji's chest as her excitement increased. "Thinking…wanting this…afraid…again…do that again," she laced her hands together behind Shinji's neck and leaned back. Her eyes closed yet her mouth open in a perfect 'O' as all manners of sounds ebbed and flowed from her.
He'd deal with this lovely ghost's habit for phantom molestation later, but for now he'd oblige her request. A slow steady pumping up, grinding against that scratching tuft of fur, "H-Hikari-chan you're…I can't…" she was just draining the life out of him with her vice grip. "Fantastic," he felt her dew flowing against his legs and thighs as he increased his pace. Meaty slapping sounds were drown out as he found him hugging the dainty yet stern woman to his body.
Her chin was nestled against Shinji's nect, but Hikari's eyes opened wide and lulled upward. "Needed…this…so…uhh…huh-huh" she puffed as she grinded against Shinji in sensory overload. Grabbing his shoulders, the girl pulled back so she was laying on the bed. It was a dangerous move with him lodged deeply into her holies of holy's, but she managed to without breaking his stride. "W-what if she…wakes…never…possessed…uh…s-softer p-please," she splayed her arms wide and grasped the sheets.
If who saw? Nobody was there except them, right? The Libido stopped caring about anything other than the vortex sucking him deeper in with every gyration. "Let her…watch?" he asked before diving back into her left nipple, it was so pert and elastic a pride point for smaller breasts. Deeper and deeper he drove, yet he listened to her request for soft. A slow and steady pace, in-out, in-out, in-hold it…hold it… "Going to…going…" he felt that build up time was nearing its end.
The earlier foreplay, compiled with her esper induced needs, Hikari's eyes glazed over as she too neared the end of the road. "I-inside…wanna…feel you…inside!" she cried as she felt a blazing hot stream of essence explode inside her which sent her over the edge. "SHIN-CHAN!" Hikari squealed as they both crossed the line together. A moment of phased reality later though and the mess was on the sheet. "S-sorry…lost con-control. Still not…I can see why Asuka loves doing this with you. Though her loving you doesn't come from this I bet," Hikari nuzzled her nose to Shinji's as she felt his deflated member dribble on her stomach.
Falling to the bed at her side, Shinji's hand cupped her breast and gave it a squeeze. "You give me too much credit, Hikari-chan. You nearly had me done at the start," he kissed her cheek. Indeed it was going to be a strange relationship, but what woman in his life wasn't at this point? Now if Hikari were like the others, this first would only be the interlude to the foray, but something about that sleepy look on her face, Hikari wasn't ready for marathons yet. "Nap?" he asked releasing her bust.
Turning on her side to face the boy, Hikari nodded. "You're nothing like the rumors say. Even Asuka's stories of you being a pervert and good for nothing were so wrong," Hikari giggled and kissed those slim girl-like lips. "I think I could grow to love you, Ikari Shinji," she said with a firm conviction.
"Hokari-kun, Shin-chan! What is the meaning of this!" Hiroko shouted getting off her bed and finding the two teens in post coital bliss. "You better have a good excuse for this, the Nurse's station isn't for youthful…" Hiroko's eyes went south of Shinji's border and found the well used tool was far from spent for the day. "Ikari-kun you need to see me in my office after you've cleaned yourself up!" and with that the woman that had fallen for Shinji's touch stormed off in a blizzard of confusion.
Sighing hard, Shinji felt Hikari's fingers trace his face, "Not made if I have to go?" He hated leaving after sharing a moment, but if he stayed things would get worse. Like with the Rei's, if he stayed with any one for long it would always escalate and time would vanish.
"Go, I'll see you later Playboy-kun," Hikari tittered and pulled the sheet over herself and nestled in. Letting out a deep yawn, Hikari was out moments later.
Running his hand through her hair, "This is just far to odd." He pulled his clothing back on and rushed off to see that Hikari didn't get into any trouble. Such odd things the Lexicon did to the minds of those affected by it. If I used a spell on myself would I become a mindless beast? Having read that women had lower sex drives than men, Shinji was a little worried when the Lexicon made them slightly more wanting. Now if he used it on himself, would his Libido get out of control? Could he be trusted not to abuse the Lexicon then, when he was a mindless beast wanting nothing but sex? He felt something for the women in his life, he didn't see it as just 'fucking for fun', but if he lost himself to the call…what then?
To much ridded on them being in control. The women were in control of themselves 99% of the time, but what about him…was he strong enough?

Notes
Yeah this was a mostly humorous chapter. Last few have been more dramatic so I wanted to shift gears a little bit and get some funny in. Hope ya enjoyed it. With Halloween coming up I'm hoping to see some cool costumes, and I hope you all do something to celebrate the thinning walls between dimensions.
Thanks for all the support in this and my other stories. I mentioned this in my latest 'What We' but I really am thankful to all my readers. You give me the drive to keep writing, and the courage to post these things. If you didn't know, writing "Gift" is a bit harder for me, as I'm a bit shy about the whole lemon thing. Not very good at them, but I'm trying to improve. Thing is…these type of stories open the reader to parts of the authors mind that is fairly private.
You read what the authors interpretation of human/human relation is, and that's a window to their mind in some cases. It takes a large degree of trust to hope you won't look at it like I'm a freak. Well, I'm strange I won't deny it, but I'm still glad for each and every one of you.
Thank again, have a happy Halloween and drink one for me!
