Sibling Bonds
Chapter#5: A Date with Destiny
When the test started everything was going as good as any
previous Harmonics test other that if you take into account that this test
was done in the nude much to the pilots discomfort as loudly stated by
one angry Asuka Langley Sohryu.
"I can't believe this is necessary, especially since you've got those
cameras trained on us now" stated a very irate Asuka.
The other pilots weren't far from her stated feelings. But as always
Rei Ayanami kept her feelings well hidden in her emotionless mask. Shinji
on the other hand was showing his displeasure at his and the others predicament
with various grimaces as they sat in their birthday suits. though not as
vocal as his girlfriend, he did protest a little as they finally got into
the simulation plugs and were loaded into the simulation bodies. Then all
hell broke loose. First all 3 pilots complained of feeling odd, not feeling
as normal. Then an alarm sounded. A dilemma between the Magi computer developed,
then the 87th protein wall broke down and that's what the microscopic angel
needed. Then the simulation EVA went berserk. Rei yelled and screamed with
pain. The Angel has invaded the simulation chamber. Ritsuko then triggered
the simulation plugs to eject and the pilots found themselves floating
in an adjacent lake.
As the angel was being fought by Ritsuko, and the other Techs. As they
contained and eventually killed the Angel who was a group of Nannites,
microscopic cells that acted as one.
As the Angel was defeated at the NERV Geofront headquarters, the three
pilots were floating and Asuka angry with the fact that she was naked in
her plug, when Rei yelled out.
"I am not breathing well, I believe my plug is sinking, the LCL seems
to be leacking out of the plug!." Though still monotone her voice did convet=y
her concern for her plight.
"Rei, can you get out by yourself or do you need help?" Asked a now anxious Shinji.
"I can't budge the escape hatch, I do need help!" Answered Rei, now with a nervous tone in her voice.
"Shinji were naked, do you know how embarrassing it would be if we're out on the lake like that, someone could see us?" Stated an irritated Asuka.
"Asuka, Rei could drown, if the LCL is leaking out & water is rushing in she will drown! I'm going to help her!"
"You don't do anything dangerous with out me Shinji-kun, hear me!" And
Asuka blew her escape hatch, dove into the lake and headed for Rei's plug.
Shinji was doing the same on the opposite side of Rei's Plug. As they
got to the plug the noticed that it indeed was sinking. Shinji was yanking
at the Rei's hatch, which was hard being that without the plug suit, he
had to grip with his hands and feet, in seconds Asuka was next to him helping
him try to open the plug that trapped Rei. While neither forgot why they
were there, both tried their hardest not to see important parts of each
others bodies. When the hatch finally opened they looked up to each others
faces with each being as red as Asuka's plug suit. Asuka jumped into the
water and headed towards her simulation plug and crawled in as Shinji pulled
Rei out of her plug just as it left the surface. They both headed for Shinji's
simulation plug and as Rei crawled in, Shinji dove under the Lake's surface
to check on his plug's float ability, but more to not see his friend's
naked body.
Asuka noticed this and silently thanked her boyfriend for being so
chivalrous. Shinji stayed in the water, outside his simulation plug.
As the rescue boats arrived about Ten minutes later, the pilots now
covered by blankets were brought back to NERV's infirmary.
As they were examined by the doctors there Shinji was thinking of what
he was going to ask Rei, Rei was thinking the same thing, and Asuka was
happy that they all made it out alive.
Later after they got dressed they were called into a conference room
By Misato and Ritsuko and told of the eleventh angel attack, the fact that
it was Not to be discussed, actually they were told to forget it ever happened!
After they agreed to this, Maya Ibuki then came in and asked to talk to
the pilots privately. After the two older women left Maya spoke.
"I know what Kensuke did!" two of the three pilots reacted to this
while Ayanami was her usually emotionless self." So, I want to meet with
you three outside of NERV." Maya knew she was taking a risk, especially
with Rei, but she needed to talk to them away from prying eyes and cameras
in NERV. What surprised all of the was who suggested meeting on the hill
overlooking the city. All looked at Rei, who had suggested. "Ikari-kun
& I meet there regularly and it is a quiet and secluded place." stated
Rei.
"How long have you been meeting Shinji there, Rei?" asked a concerned
Asuka, who then looked at Shinji who stared back nervously.
"One week, since the tenth angel attack, we sit and reflect on the
day's events".
"Is that all you do there wondergirl?" asked a now aggravated Asuka
making a note to talk to her boyfriend of these meetings!
"Yes, we watch the sunset and witness the lights come on in Tokyo-03.
It makes it easier to think through our problems." answered Rei calmly.
"Asuka-chan, I would have told you about this, but I wasn't close to
you then" Shinji suddenly stated, as he was becoming aware of his girlfriends
growing anger. He looked at her eye to eye, and took her hand, she then
visibly calmed down and nodded yes to her love. "Ok, but I want to come
from now on!" She stated this to him directly, he nodded yes.
Rei for her part did not outwardly react, but she was apprehensive
about having the volatile second child there.
Maya calmed all of them by saying that they would all meet there at
6p.m. "Ok, then I'll make a picnic dinner then since I promised Shinji
I would make dinner tonight." The three other people there stared at the
second child with their eyes three times their size (Well Rei's was only
a little bigger). OK, then I'll get going to my post, see you three there."
Maya left, though a big surprise will greet her at the Pritnow box when
she gets there.
"I thought Iwas going to make dinner, Asuka-chan?"
Well, be it that you have the luck to be my boyfriend and that I am
nice eough to cook for you. Just remember, this isn't going to be a regular
ocorrance, right My Baka?"
"Yes my love!" replyed Shinji. Asuka then smiled.
Asuka Shinji, and Rei were left in the conference room, when Asuka asked
a question.
"Well, Aren't you going to ask Rei those questions?" Shinji went into
wimp mode again "Wwhaaat?"
"Aren't you going to ask me those questions now Ikari-kun?" asked a
calm Rei
Shinji looked from one girl to another, then he finally answered;
Well, why don't I walk you home, Rei, and well ask our questions on
the way, then we can head for the hill and meet Asuka and Dr. Ibuki
there, Ok?". He nervously looked at Asuka, Who nodded yes, and then before
Rei had a chance to answer, She grabbed Shinji and laid a long and passionate
kiss on the third child. She left with a broad smile on her face and commented
to Rei, "Remember who his girlfriend is Wondergirl!" as she left.
Rei turned back around toward's a starry eyed Shinji. She simply picked
up her and Shinji's briefcase, then grabbed Shinji by the arm, led him
out of the conference room ,and out of the Geofront.
As they walked Shinji had come down from cloud nine and Asuka's kiss.
He finally thought of his first question.
Shinji asked, "Ayamani-san, I'd like to ask you some questions but
first, I'd like you to look at some information I got on all three of us
Ok?Shinji smiled at Rei, but he knew that he had to then show the information
on The pilot's background, as well as to find the answer to his questions.
He knew he had his own, plus what Kensuke had gotten as he searched for
the girls information, so he pulled up his own data on his laptop as they
walked.
As he scrolled down the information Rei's eyes stayed calm, but Shinji
could tell she had understood why he said what he did. As they walked she
read the report on the third child, she remembered previous research she
did, and knew of how he had lacked self-confidence and his wanting of attention
from his estranged father. She also reviewed the second child's information
and showed him a slight look of sympathy, not pity was evident on both
their faces.Rei thought (That is why he was drawn to the second, they have
had similar experinces.)
Shinji then pulled up Rei's information. Shinji braced for the
negative comment, or reaction he thought would come as he saw her starting
to read his laptop's screen. He then showed the way Yui, Shinji, and then
Rei 's pictures were very similar. Then with Kensuke's morphing effect,
Rei saw the proof of what Shinji had suspected. After a minute with his
eyes facing forward and no reaction from her, he slowly turned his head
and saw a slight smile and an a warmth in her eyes. She cupped his face
like Asuka did the day before, and looked at him as if she could see into
his soul, this made him shutter.
She did not say a word at first, they had made it to the front door,
shut it, and then she then sat next to Shinji who by now was standing next
to her bed perplexed with Rei's actions. She then put her head on his shoulder
leaning onto him, put an arm around his waist, gave him a tight hug. He
then finally spoke; "Are you my sister?"
Rei, though not showing it outside, was scared at this first question.
[" What can I say to him? I have to be as truthful as possible without
revealing classified information."]
"I can only say that there is a connection between myself & you
mother."
(This blew Shinji away, "Yes I was right, but at the same time, Rei
glared a subtle as it is was there, so he changed his next question.)
"Do you have the same connection.... to my father?" He asked.
"No, I have no biological connection to the Commander, other than he
is my legal guardian." she answered.
(What??!? She isn't related to father, What does that mean to me now?
Well, I still have one more question.)
"Ok, One final question & then I'll answer your questions."
"Fine!" Answered Rei answering a bit more sharply than before, but
still hugging him.
"Again, Are you my sister, or at least my half sister? What I mean
is are you family to me?"
(Now Rei was worried, though not showing it to her fellow pilot.)
"You can consider me your half sister Ilari-kun."
Shinji was silent for well over a minute with the usually emotionless
Rei becoming more worried ["Did he not believe me?"] thought Rei. He answered
her with standing her up and wrapping his arms around her and sobbed quietly,
while keeping her in a warm and tight hug. This went on for a few more
minutes as the siblings hugged in an embrace of warmth and comfort.
After he had stopped crying, Shinji spoke. "I am so happy little sister!"
said a smiling Shinji.
Rei had the same small cute smile she had after the fifth Angel. "I
am happy as well to have a brother."
"Now can you answer some of my questions?" asked Rei. "OK." replied
Shinji
They sat down and she began her questions.
"How can relatives show their affection Ikari-kun?" He answered her
in a most direct way, he strengthened his spine and he hugged her lightly,
then he dropped back down on the bed facing her.
"Ikari-kun how can....." "Rei-chan, you can call me Shinji now, since
I am your brother!"
"All right, Shinji-kun. Now,what is the difference between the love
you have with the second child, and with me?" Asking in her same monotone
voice.
["Oh, she had to ask that question, shoot! Ok, I'll try my best"] "Well,
relatives usually have a love that is involved in the caring and bringing
up of that person, sort of like a mother for her child, or a brother who
wants to protect his sister (He gave her a quick squeeze). But, when two
people are drawn to each other mainly due to something they like in that
person, they develop feelings of love and caring. Though it is more than
just to protect them, it is also to be with them, physically and emotionally.
Do you understand, Rei-chan?" Shinji was still holding his new found
sister, while swaeting out the answers.
"So we should be sharing a love of caring and protection, while you
and Pilot Sohryu share a more intimate relationship.
Is that why you would kiss me on the cheek, while you kiss ASuka on
the mouth, Shinji-kun?"
Elated, Shinji answered,"Yes, exactly Rei-chan. Any more questions?" asked Shinji Feeling better now.
"For now that is all, but can I ask you about other questions regarding emotions and relationships?" asked Rei
"Of course, What are brothers for? I will always be there for you Rei, remember that!" He then hugged his sister, who hugged him back.
"Ok, let's make our way to the hill and we'll pick up a vegetarian dinner just in case Asuka forgets that you don't eat meat.
Rei agreed and they made their way towards The hill overlooking the city.
Maya Ibuki had made to short walk from the conference room to her post
at the command center, when she turned the corner and saw the rosy monstrosity
sitting next to her chair, with all the command staff looking at her waiting
for her reaction.
She slowly walked to the stand holding over two dozen roses shaped
to her name in kanji. She then spotted the card that accompanied the flowers.
As she glanced again at her co-workers and friends who were all holding
back giggles as she opened the card.
Music started coming from the card "Ride of the Valkyries" by Wagner
playing as she nervously held the card to read.
To my inspiration, I have seen something in you that I haven't found anywhere or with anyone else. If I can only be your student at you feet so be it, because I want to learn all I can from you. Will you be my Sensi and help me to be all I can be and I will be satisfied with that. If you can find it in your heart that it could be more, then that would be fine too. I hope to see you soon;
your devoted slave,
Kensuke Aida
She looked up as she finished the reading card and found three smirks and then gobs of laughter. With a blush as red as Unit-02, She headed for the nearest exit, and yelled out; "I'm taking the rest of the day off, and if anyone asks me of this again, I'll rip you a new one!" She headed for the home of a 14 year old geek who had only the time remaining for her to get there to live. At least that's what she thought!
Kensuke was waiting by the phone waiting for the focus of his love to
call!
"[Wonder if two dozen roses was enough, oh well I'm sure I'll find
out soon enough!"]
Next Chapter: Love Lost, Love found!
Chapter#6 gets grim and grimy, will the the bonds of love be enough
to save the third child, and those he loves?
And just who is the stranger following the pilots? And what is his
interest in Rei?
