Man I just realized I've been writing this story for a few years now. Don't you guys get tired of it? Its fun to screw around with since its just a collection of short stories tied together with a loose plot. Oh well as long as I keep writing this thing probably will be my main 'off story'. I'm still hunting for a publisher, whoever said writing was hard didn't try getting published.

What We Make of It

Chapter: 35 – When Plans Collide

Or

Nothing is Ever Easy

"Shinji-kun, its time you wake up," Washu announced over the modified ear bud. Having worked though the night, the pint sized scientist had her systems back up and running at seventy percent capacity. "The sun is coming up and the patrols will be moving soon. You'll need to keep an eye out." Typing several commands into her computer she brought up the damage report from last nights fight between Hild and Asuka. It was bad, several city blocks got walloped by energy blasts, but at least nobody got hurt. Good news was it kept all the factions busy putting out fires and off Shinji's trail.

Rubbing his eyes and sitting up, Shinji stretched out his cramped and stiff muscles. "I would have thought I was used to harsh sleeping conditions after my time with Attim. But the floor isn't as nice as dirt I guess." He chuckled at the absurdity of enjoying sleeping on the open earth. Eyeing his surroundings, many of the scantly clad women and men on the covers of the books almost appeared to be mocking him. Popping one of Washu's suckers into his mouth to stave off hunger, "How are things looking today?"

Changing her focus, Washu did a quick scan of the city for movement. "Green's appear to be the hardest hit from Morrigan and Kos-Mos's fight. They're moving supplies from the destroyed buildings into a new one. Red's are most unaffected, go figure they are underground, but they are focusing on the city proper. I guess they were the ones that bugged you. The White's are all at the school, they appear to be having a meeting. No patrols in your area. Wait…" checking the name again of the building Shinji was in, Washu couldn't stop herself. "Why are you in an adult book store? The place I told you was across the street, a laundry mat."

Pulling out his borrowed computer, Shinji turned the tiny yet powerful creation of Ruri Hoshino on. "So nobody was hurt?" Shinji asked hoping to deflect the question. The sucker, watermelon flavored, was working wonders on his hunger pains. "And do you think I can just stay here for awhile and plan how to get back into Nerv?" His face was burning with embarrassment as he found the adult toys behind the counter with him. All manners of sinful toys were staring him in the face, and making his imagination work overtime in how they'd be used.

Eyes narrowing, the crab fetishist's voice took a haughty tone. "If you wanted to look at naughty things, Shinji, you could have just let yourself get captured by somebody." Did Washu think Shinji actually wanted to get a good ol' dose of perversion in while hiding? No, but it was fun to tease. "I mean any woman you find would gladly strip naked for you." He'd just have to do the same or they'd force him.

Shaking his head fiercely even though Washu couldn't see him, he flubbed, "No! Just with Ruri-san's computer program plotting how I'd act, I thought it best to do things I wouldn't normally do." Sure Ruri' 'Shinji Model' was now in his hands, he had no way of knowing if it wasn't a back up or somebody else created one like it. "I'd never come to a place like this so nobody would think to check for me here."

Pulling up a screen view of Tsunami gliding across the city scanning for her betrothed, Washu felt a burden growing inside her. "Shinji-kun, that's very sound thinking. But I think I have to ask you something important, and I want your honest answer to it ok?" The odds of Shinji getting through this ordeal unscathed were almost impossible. Which meant somebody was likely going to get a hold of him, and that meant dealing with the repercussions.

Sliding his shoes back on, Shinji reviewed Ruri's program on him and found it was spot on. "It's a little unnerving to see a computer program so accurately predict my movements. And sure Washu-chan, what do you want to ask?" It helped to have the monitor to focus on, because just thinking about what was going on around him was unsettling. Opening up the input folder, Shinji modified some of the characteristics they assigned to him just in case he lost the computer.

Her fingers stalled at her computer, Washu wanted to ask Shinji her hypothetical but it was a touchy topic. "Shinji-kun, what are you going to do if you get caught and can't get out. Yesterday you were close, but you were able to short circuit those girls. What if somebody like Sasami traps you?" Refocusing the auto-repair bots to work on the teleporter, Washu prayed the five-day estimate on repairs was an embellishment.

Breath lost, Shinji couldn't move for several moments. "I don't know. I can't let that happen." If he couldn't get free, the alternative was a life scaring event. Connecting to the shops wireless, Shinji tried logging into the Nerv mainframe but was stopped dead in his tracks. "Stupid passwords…honestly Washu-chan I can't let that happen. I won't let her hurt herself by doing something she doesn't want to."

And here was the hard part and Washu committed herself to it. "She wouldn't, Shinji-kun, Sasami wouldn't regret it at all. That girl loves you, balls to bone, through and through." She could hear the boy's deep inhale, a clear sign of shock. "I've been with her for a long time, I saw her crush on Tenchi and know it pales to what she feels for you. But being royalty means she can't act on her emotions as much as she would want to." Even on Earth, Sasami had to act in accordance to her royal lineage.

"But that's still…she's still not herself…I couldn't," Shinji stammered but Washu's little tidbit of information shot a big hole in his reasons. He didn't want to let somebody do something they'd regret, but he never thought of the idea that they wouldn't regret it. And Washu's comment on royalty also meant that for Sasami, now was the only time she could truly act on her inner most impulses and wants. "I would rather it not come to that," he lowered his head.

Noticing Nerv's mainframe had just been hit, Washu followed the trail back to Shinji's laptop and grinned. "I feel the same, but it's something you have to realize. A lot of your friends, well female friends, are actually in the same ship as Sasami is. They actually care about you. And you might need to make use of that for the greater good." It made the genius feel dirty, but it was a hard truth. "If one or two girls catch you, you might have to sleep with them, and escape after they've fallen asleep or give you an opportunity to knock them out."

Just like Washu, Shinji felt a wave of revolution work down his spine and unsettle his stomach. "You're saying I might have to have sex with them to escape them. That's horrible!" But as hard as he fought against the idea, if he were trapped he'd have to try and escape. His captures were obviously going to try and buy a one way ticket to skin town so if need be he'd have to exploit that. A quick screen flash and Shinji's face paled, "Somebody is hacking my computer!"

Her grin turned into a sadistic lip turn, "Yeah that would be me, Shinji-kun. And I agree it would be horrible. But you have to ask yourself this. What is more horrible? Making love to somebody that cares about you in an effort to save them or letting them make you a permanent hostage and having everybody get a go on the old wonder weasel?" Uploading her program to Shinji's computer, Washu effectively turned it into a remote console for one of her own. Moments later an image of Washu popped out of the screen, and over Shinji's shoulder. "That's better, now I can see and hear you," she cackled, "I truly am a genius."

Eyes bulging as the two-inch by three-inch semi-transparent Washu face laughed manically, Shinji just shook his head. He didn't like what Washu was selling, but he had no choice but to buy it. Watching as his screen was hijacked by Washu's phantom fingers, he listened to the plan to get him into Nerv in two days. All the while his mind was fretting the appearance of even one woman to pass the window. I want this to be over.

X – Morals are the thorn in the side of a good time – X

"Remain focused on locations from Ruri's backup copy of the Shinji model," Rei commanded her troops at the morning meeting. Noticeably absent were Shinobu and Nodoka as they were currently serving detention for breaking the cardinal rule. "The Green's scout parties will soon be moving again and the Red's are scheming to get the newest Grey to there side. We have to act fast, get the parcel and get to the hideout. Dismissed."

At their leader's command, the morning scout parties paired up and headed out into the streets. Discontent was building as the virus further altered their minds. The longer they went without, the stronger the drive was, and the more it overwhelmed them. Two of the girls had to be tied down because they became nothing but unthinking sex-starved maniacs. But rumors were starting that a coup was in the works. Rei wasn't acting like somebody that was willing to share, and they all knew it.

Once the bulk of her forces were gone, Rei exited the school via a back door. "Shampoo, what do you have to report about the Greens movements?" Rei had her own plans now, with the direct disobedience of her subordinates, Rei wasn't going to use them anymore. Her plan was changing to pit the Whites against the Red's to allow the Greens access to Nerv where she could lock them all up. Of all her henchwomen, only Ruri was now part of the plan. "And any word on Sasami's movements?"

Her mighty purple tress swaying, the Amazon kept in line, "Green's almost finished moving damaged supplies. Small party on scout at Nerv for weakness. Shampoo part of that group." It was how she was able to get to the school undetected and without breaking her cover, or so she thought at least. "Big blue haired girl was seen flying over park. Black ship behind her." Ryo-oki and Sasami were planning to channel nature to locate Shinji, meaning if he saw a plant they'd know where he was.

"Excellent, we will be planning a raid of Nerv shortly. The chemical found on the darts in the kitchen has been analyzed. We can replicate it and neutralize it now," Rei handed Shampoo a pill. It wasn't the neutralizer, only Rei and Ruri had that, but the others didn't need to know. "We will gain power over the Red's and I will use the Evangelion to find Shinji." A lie, it was all information Rei wanted to Green's to have to lure them in.

More in line with the Greens than the Whites, Shampoo was already planning on officially picking a side. But something was bothering her, "Why you go this way? You send all other parties south but you go north?" Why wasn't Rei following her own plans? Something was fishy about the soft spoken girl.

Shinji will hide in places that are strange and foreign to him now that he knows of our predictive model. Likely in an adult store or strip club. Rei had her revelation the moment after Ruri admitted to losing their primary source of tracking. "I have to gather supplies to make our ammunition for today's raid. Go back to the Greens now before they suspect you." Rei's first stop was going to be an adult movie theatre, a bar, and then a book store.

Hesitating for a moment, Shampoo wanted to question Rei further about her plans, but wouldn't risk showing any signs of transgression. "Report back in three hours, Shampoo be ready!" And that the Amazon bounded off towards the location of the scouting parties.

Once Shampoo had gotten far enough away, Shimei crept out of her hiding place and continued to follow Rei. While it was known to her that Shampoo was a double agent, Shimei didn't know who Shampoo officially rallied for. "Lead the way little girl, lead the way," she whispered as she kept shadowing Rei.

X – Trust needs trust – X

Hild was many things at many times, typically calm, cool, collected, sexy as hell, over powered, and happy. After her little tiff with Asuka however, Hild was hurt and angry. It wasn't that Hild couldn't easily defeat Asuka, but to do that would mean seriously injuring the out-of-her mind step daughter. Being the family centric person she was, Hild wasn't going to go full tilt and break the girl. "You, step-daughter, will have to have a very big apology ready when you get better," she huffed as she plopped the magically bound Asuka over her shoulder.

The princess of hell, still lost to her own passions and craving for her vassal, just bucked and strained against her confines. She could feel her beloved right below her! The building Hild had landed on after successfully hitting her with a charm of binding was the same book store Shinji had taken refuge in. Asuka, whose mouth was covered, wouldn't have said anything if she could, but she would take Shinji right then and there.

Flying up to her mother on her broom, Urd was stunned to see one of the big-bads had been neutralized. "Hild, I didn't expect to find you here. I was sent to stop Asuka." Urd was always well versed in lying. Misato had a deliciously nasty plan, drug Hild and get her to side with the Reds. "When did you get here?"

Not wanting to seem distrustful, Hild masked her scan of her daughter in a monster hug. "Urd-darling, mamma missed you," she cooed into the ridged body of her daughter. Feeling nothing different about her daughter's code, Hild relaxed a little. "I was afraid you were one of them," she flicked her head towards Asuka. "Mamma is glad her lil girl isn't a sex crazed freak." If only Hild knew Urd was normally closer to being lead by hormones than not she would have noticed just how altered Urd was.

"Hild please don't…" Urd pushed her mother off. While still under the virus's influence, Urd was still herself to a point, and that meant she couldn't side with the demons. "Have you seen Shinji anywhere, with all the fighting going on its dangerous for him?" Misato had been adamant to keep silent on the Shinji hunt. Urd didn't know why she had to keep the primary objective silent, but then again she joined the Red's because of her inability to make complex plans.

Laying Asuka down on the roof, Hild flexed her shoulder. "No I haven't sensed him. With so many powers flaring it's almost impossible to get a trace," she grimaced at her inability to find her wayward son. "If you're not infected, that means that little sister of yours, Bell-chan, should be fine as well. Can't you get her to find your brother?" And if Bell did help, since Goddesses were almost legally bound to, Hild would have another source of annoyance. I swear that girl needs to get laid, but that means Keiichi needs to grow a pair of balls.

If only Hild knew.

Stepping over Asuka, as the teenage hellspawn was seemingly grinding against the roof, Urd hoped Asuka wasn't totally broken. "Bell and Keiichi are a little indisposed right now. After the wedding it seems my sister awakened to a new world of…pleasing him." Keiichi's daily screaming and requests for sleeping pills struck Urd as comical. When they were dating the idea of Bell being stark raving mad for coatis would have made Urd have a seizure. "How are you feeling after your little show with her?" Urd's slender finger jutted at the near pornographic Asuka.

"Not killing something in a fight is a tricky thing, but your brother would be sad to lose this darling chippy I think," Hild pinched Asuka's cheek ignoring the lewd sounds. Standing up straight, "Aside from a little pain and nervous tension, I'm good." Knowing her adopted son might very well be the reincarnation of something greater that the Quartet of Creation was something else.

Rolling her eyes, Urd saw the opening she was looking for, "If you ask nicely I have a pill that would work that pain out for you. But I'm only giving it to you because you stopped her from destroying the city and killing countless people." While true, Urd could never directly show concern of love for her demonic mother, the pill was nothing but tap water laden with virus.

Taking the offered pill, remembering just how skilled a chemist her daughter was, Hild hesitated. Something seemed almost too easy, too nice about this. Urd was never polite or even cordial to her, and her she was giving pain medication? "Urd-baby why are you being all nice to me? You don't regularly treat your mother so kindly." It pained Hild to accept it, but once the madness was over Shinji would be a very accessible means to bridge the gap.

With nothing to say, other than 'because I want your power to get me a man', Urd chose to act impulsively rather than think. In a deft move, she slapped Hild's hand up and over the CEO of Hell's mouth and held it there until she heard the swallow. Had it not been such a surprise action, Hild would have easily deflected it. But the stress, fatigue, and worry left a tiny opening in Hild's defenses. "Sorry Hild, but we have need of you."

Almost instantly Hild felt a change spreading into her code, and as much as it hurt her to do it, backhanded her daughter so hard it sent the stunned goddess three city blocks away. "DAMN IT!" Hild screamed. She'd blinded herself to Urd's intention with hopes of having a real family. "Washu…" Hild spotted the flying citadel of science and knew what she had to do. With her powers running out of control, she'd easily find and likely kill her son with love. Not something she wanted to do. So she'd need the Goddess of Science to put her in some type of stasis until she could get cured. Flying off at speeds that broke windows as she passed, Hild just prayed Shinji would be safe until she was better.

X- Hopes turn logic on its head – X

Attim was livid. Not only had the fight between Asuka and Hild disrupted her capture attempt at the school, but it allowed Shinji to mask his departure and prevent further tracking. On top of that, Shion's tracker wasn't functioning so they were officially in the dark about the packages location! "All I can do now is follow orders and hope Katsuragi is able to give me a location."

Phasing through buildings in a blind run, Attim was scouting the grocery stores. The other Red patrols were spread thin along the cities parameter, word was a trio of men were found at a catholic church and many were in route to verify. But deep in Attim's mind, she didn't want just any man. No there was one man in particular she was hunting and she was going to find him, mount him, and ride until the sun set.

Rounding the freezer cabinets towards the pharmacy section, Attim came to a skidding halt. Standing stock still, almost as if she were a real mannequin, was Kos-Mos. Scanning what turned out to be lubricants and lotions for skin abrasions. "Product identified as 95% match to master's size," her voice more robotic than ever announced to the empty store as she grabbed a box of magnums. "Non-master designated hostile detected," Kos-Mos quipped as her sensors detected Attim. "State your intention or be destroyed."

Putting her hands up, no longer covering her chilled naked upper torso, Attim came out from hiding in a freezer. Judging by the red smear on her face, Attim correctly pegged that Kos-Mos had a run in with Morrigan and this time didn't get away without injury. "Intention is peaceful," Attim hoped it was an acceptable response. Kos-Mos was the most feared rogue Grey, and Attim didn't know if she could escape even with the ability to phase through solids.

Her right hand transformed to her R-Scythe and she took up a defensive position. "Target identified: Attim M-Zak. Role: Guardian. Threat Level: Moderate." One of Kos-Mos's eyes burned a terrible blue while the other was a lifeless red. Her systems were undergoing an auto-repair after the confrontation with the Sailor Senshi and then Morrigan. "Leave this area or be destroyed," the android slashed downward and cut a neat three inch divot into the floor.

"I need your help finding Shinji, your master, before he gets captured," Attim brazenly asked. Taking a step back from the walking instrument of death, the skillful woman wasn't taking any chances. "If he is captured by somebody, he could be killed," Attim added hoping to bypass Kos-Mos's security system.

Lines of data streams and possibility scenarios ran lighting fast inside the super computer that made up the artificial part of Kos-Mos's mind. "Probability analysis is 86% that if caught by a solo woman he will escape. 68% chance he will escape without sexual activity. 30% chance he would be hurt. 2% chance he would be killed." Low odds, but Kos-Mos wasn't liking that 2%. "Partnership with M-Zak lowers chances at finding Master by 14%. Request denied. Repeat – leave or be destroyed."

Hands still up Attim gave Kos-Mos a wide birth as she moved around the android towards the door. "Just tell me what direction he is in then. What harm could come if I found him before you. I wouldn't be able to stop you, now could I?" She had to find him though, and fast! The Greens were likely going to be the faction that got him if she failed. Green enslavement would likely kill him before any attack could be mounted. "You can bug me if you want so you'll know when I find him."

Again Kos-Mos went silent as her programming ran the variables of the proposed alliance. On one end having a secondary set of eyes would speed up the search, but humans were not to be trusted. "Probability of duplicity 83.34%. Chances of M-Zak seducing Master 99.99%." Attim was beautiful in such an ethereal way that according to Kos-Mos's logistics, Shinji would resist for only three minutes before submitting. "Leave or be terminated," this time Kos-Mos opened her stomach to reveal her X-Buster. But for a flicking moment Kos-Mos's red eye flashed blue, "He is to the north, forces moving in," before her eye flashed back to solid red.

Catching the bizarre change in Kos-Mos's appearance, Attim wasn't going to question or wait for further explanation. The blue eyes are her human side. The robotic and human are fighting for control right now. No matter he's to the north! No reason to doubt the android might be fibbing Attim could feel it in her soul that it was right. "Hold tight Shin-chan, when I get you the two of us are going to have a real fun time," tracing her lips with her finger Attim was running at full tilt.

Leaving Kos-Mos behind to finish provision gathering, Attim was just repeating the stories she overheard at the school before she left. Ruri stated she kissed Shinji and that allowed her to be shot, and the twin shy girls were so frazzled by Shinji's actions. While nobody claimed to have actual bed him, it had gotten the teenagers into a whipped froth, and Attim was very much like them.

X- Kos-Mos isn't very trusting – X

"So do you understand the plan, Shinji?" Washu hoped it was a viable option when the time came for it. For the better part of the morning the pair spent going over countless floor plans of Nerv looking for some sort of access vent or backdoor that would allow Shinji a means of entry. "The vent is right by one of the Evangelion power stations. It'll be a long crawl through the vent system, but it will get you into the complex."

Sighing heavily, Shinji didn't much care for the only non-guarded or locked entry. "Good thing is I can do it from any power cord. But a mile worth of tubing to crawl through in the dark doesn't sound very appealing. Are you sure I can't bring the laptop with me?" That was the biggest problem Shinji had. Washu had been adamant that after the plan was designed Shinji hide the computer.

The holo-image circled around Shinji's head with the grinning scientist. "It's my plan Shinji so it's perfect if you follow it well!" Truth was Washu didn't like it anymore than Shinji. The plans showed the vent was a straight shot, but if it had been damaged or had an unexpected drop Shinji could die and there would be nothing anyone could do. "As for the computer…why the hell would you need one when you have me to do the work for you? So if you ever turned that computer off this video link would be shut off. So repeat after me 'trust the genius'."

Sliding the computer, with the top down, into a false floor in the shop that housed the owner's secret drug sales he sealed the panel. "The cord might give it away, but this is the best I can think of." Leaning against the wall, "How much longer do you think I can stay here?" Not really caring for the adult atmosphere of the shop, Shinji wouldn't have minded a change of location.

Hacking into a series of cameras that served as a security network for the shopping arcade, Washu didn't like what she saw. "We have incoming, that Ayanami girl is making a b-line straight toward you." This wasn't looking good, it seemed that some of these women were smart enough to see through Shinji's deception. "Get your bracers ready for her," Washu turned her volume down and shut off the visual unit less she give Shinji away.

Putting his back up against the sales counter, Shinji drew in a deep breath. "Ayanami, at least she wasn't hurt by Sasami," he readied his weapons and waited for the tittering of the doorbell to announce yet another potential threat. Sweat was pouring from his armpits as stress levels rose to a fevered pitch. Blood pumped hard and loud in his head as the jingling bells signaled Rei's entrance.

"Shinji, I've come for you. Just turn yourself in to me and I can spare you those other women," Rei scanned the room for any movement. Her first guess was the sales station, and while the imagery she got from the book jackets was enticing, Rei wanted out quickly. "Submit yourself to me and become my man. I promise you'll never regret it," she purred as sexily as a monotone girl could…not very well.

Rolling out from his hiding place, Shinji fired two shots at Rei's thigh, "Sorry, Rei-chan I can't let you do that to yourself." Washu's earlier statement that Rei actually might want a go with him pushed deeply into his subconscious. Letting out a sigh of relief when Rei slumped to the ground, he got up to his feet and walked over to her. Pushing his ear bud in, "If she came here, what are the odds she let others know who are on the way?"

"I don't know, Ayanami is a hard nut to crack. She might have come by herself to get some solo time in with you before the great Ikari-meat-market opened," Washu found humor a great way of stress relief. "Just hide her body someplace and get out before anything else happens."

Rolling Rei over onto her back, Shinji kneeled down to get a good look at her face. To his horror the moment his breath touched her, Rei's eyes shot open and she wrapped her arms around his head. Pulling her beloved in for a very sensual sampling of his lips, she found the tongue most exquisite. After a good five stunned seconds of deep dish action, she separated, "Sorry Love, but those darts don't work on my anymore. We found several unused ones in the cafeteria and made a vaccine."

Breaking out of the feather light grasp Rei had him on, and fighting to curtail his raging hormones that really enjoyed Rei's newfound ability to kiss, Shinji got up and back peddled to a wall. "R-Rei-chan, you…oh shit," Shinji muttered. He couldn't talk her out of anything, he'd have to fight her hand to hand and Shinji doubted he'd win. "S-stay back," he weakly protested.

Then the window shattered as an unknown figure dived in and knocked the staggered Rei back to the ground. Laughing jovially, Shimei's one exposed eye was focused solely on Shinji. "I knew following her would lead me to the prize, and a tasty prize at that." In each hand she held a set of handcuffs just itching for use. "Please put up a fight, when I beat you I can lord it over Hakufu."

Spinning on her back, Rei lashed out with her legs hoping to topple her top heavy attacker. "He is MINE!" she roared and actually broke her previous high for volume. When she failed to connect to anything, Rei tried to recalculate her plans…it wasn't looking good. Jumping up to her feet, assessing Shimei's fighting ability as best as she could, Rei knew she was severely outclassed.

"So the leader of the Whites wants to fight does she? Well a good workout before sex is always enjoyable, hope it gets you randy love," Shimei winked at Shinji before retargeting her opponent. By keeping Rei between Shinji and herself she'd be able to avoid those accused darts. A quick one-two punch to test Rei's defenses proved just to her liking. Rei wasn't a challenge at all.

Trying to get a bead on the new woman, Shinji kept getting blocked by Rei as she attacked or defended. "Rei-san get out of the way so I can hit her!" he pleaded but suspected Rei wouldn't listen. After several minutes of watching the dark blue haired, eye-patch wearing woman trounce Rei, "Please stop! She's no match for you!"

Never taking her eye of Rei, who was already bleeding from several bad bruises, Shimei kicked Rei in the stomach hard enough to knock her down. "So you don't want her hurt anymore do you?" Shimei had it! She had the key to ending this without a fight. "Shoot yourself with one of those little darts of yours then."

"He…is…mine!" Rei weakly rebelled as she tried getting back up. Her body ached, but it was her own fault for not bringing back up as she herself had ordered her minions to do. "You will not touch him," she coughed up a bit of blood. Then she felt a leg pressing against her throat cutting off her air.

"W-what are you doing?" Shinji asked flabbergasted as the woman started strangling Rei before his eye. "Let her go now please!" tears in his eyes, Shinji could fathom how quickly things changed. He could hear Washu asking frantically what was happening, but he couldn't spare the time to tell her.

Applying more pressure, feeling as Rei feebly tried to break her submission hold, Shimei tossed Shinji a pair of her handcuffs. "I'll release her, if you put those on. It's a trade. I let her go if you come with me." She'd knock him out of course the moment she got within striking range, she wasn't going to be tricked or beaten by this man and his knock out darts. Her body shuddered with joy and a slight dampening sensation as she heard the metallic click of the cuffs being slapped on. "Good boy," she eased up on Rei's throat, she was too weak to move now anyway.

Coughing hoarsely as tried to breathe too deeply for her damaged throat to allow, Rei watched in horror as the scene played out before her. Shinji tried valiantly to get a shot off before Shimei could draw close, but the restrictions of the manacles were to limiting. Dodging around the shot, she delivered a downward chop the back of Shinji's neck and he dropped like a bad habit. "N…no," she reached out for him. A horrible miscalculation on her point, she never suspected somebody to follow her to actually get the drop on her. But the real flaw had been Shinji. Rei didn't think a situation would occur where she was the bait to lure HIM out!

Housing the boy over her shoulder, favoring herself a quick squeeze of his rump, Shimei felt another shudder of bliss work through her body. "I always climax after a battle, thanks for the prize girl, you lead me straight to it." Patting Shinji's butt again as she started out, "I could have just killed you, but I think knowing you lost it all right here and now is more painful. I'll give him your regards after I claim him."

A moment later she was gone, running in a dead sprint back towards Green territory. The ear bud ripped from his ear and destroyed. Thankfully though the computer was left untouched, and when the Whites claimed their ex-leader, Usagi Tsukino the new leader had her wounds tended too before locking her up with Nodoka and Shinobu. Treachery wasn't to be tolerated, and Rei had twice had the prize and lost it.
