A 15 year-old boy lay down on a futon in the middle of his room. The room was extremely tidy, not something seen from most 15 year-old males. The digital clock on the boy's desk read 23:00 I+IAN: I think Japan is on 24 hour system?I+I. Shinji Ikari finally relaxed, thinking about the events of the past few hours. . .
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Hey Shinji-kun!" Misato said in a cutesy voice. To Shinji it sounded as if it was coming from the kitchen. Shinji had been relaxing on the couch, watching some show on TV. He felt his legs regain feeling as he stood up.
"I'm coming!" Shinji walked into the kitchen and immediately noticed 2 things. The first thing he noticed were the plates of food on the table. While Misato had started out a _TERRIBLE_ cook, Shinji had been able to teach her some things. The second thing he noticed was the fact that Misato was wearing a cooking apron. Now this alone was not unusual, it was what she was wearing(or maybe wasn't wearing is better) underneath. And what was she wearing? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! At least that's what Shinji thought until he noticed the flesh colored under-garments. Shinji mentally sighed as he noted this. Shinji noted that Misato was acting like nothing was wrong, and Shinji was not one to point these things out. So he sat down in front of his plate and waited for Misato to do the same. When she did, they started eating. As the meal progressed Shinji started to notice a soft touch moving up and down the inner side of his calves. Shinji used his incredible mental reasoning powers to deduce that it was Misato's foot and leg. Oh joy! Shinji thought sarcastically as Misato continued to flirt mercilessly. By the time the meal was done she had worked her way up to Shinji's thighs. Damnit! He thought. She's getting awful close to something she shouldn't! When her foot finally touched what it shouldn't, Shinji bolted out of his chair. In the process of escaping Misato's teasing, he knocked the chair across the room.
"Be careful little Shinji!" Misato said teasingly. "We wouldn't want to break anything now would we?" She asked in her patented "Seducing" tone. Misato began to slink towards Shinji, swaying her hips gently from side to side as she approached. Shinji's nose almost exploded with blood. He was losing control fast, his mind beginning to succumb to his primal instincts. If Misato pursued him any further, he would do absolutely nothing to stop her. So as she came to the point in which her hips were directly over his legs, he did not push her back. When she took off the apron he made no sound to stop her. When she removed her bra he said nothing. It was only when she started pulling her panties down that he thought of something, or rather, someone. REI! What am I doing?! The picture of the pale girl appeared in his head. Shinji suddenly felt stinging guilt flash over him. This guilt was enough to conquer his instincts and bring him back to reality. Unfortunately for Shinji, that meant staring straight at Misato's most sensitive place on her body.
"M-m-m-MISATO!" Shinji stuttered out, "W-w-WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
Misato looked down and simply said, "Preparing to have sex with you." Shinji was startled at her bluntness, but that's not what 'caused Shinji to be most surprised. Shinji was most surprised, and saddened, by what he saw in her eyes. The hurt, the pain, the stress, Shinji knew something was up. Shinji normally would have taken this moment to step back and get away from Misato before something bad happened. However, when Shinji looked in her eyes, he saw someone that needed help, badly! So Shinji did the only thing that came to mind at the time. . .
"S-Shinji?!" Misato was surprised by the warm embrace Shinji had initiated. She had expected the boy to just lay back and let it happen. She was still musing over this change of course when Shinji spoke up.
"Sshh. . . It's alright Misato. Just tell me what's wrong." Shinji looked up into her lavender eyes, "I know there's something wrong, so you may as well just tell me. I'm here for you."
Misato looked down upon the caring and loving face of the boy she had looked after whenever it was needed, the boy she had cared for like a son, the boy she had almost. . . Oh! She couldn't even think about it without feeling sick. She had almost de-flowered this child simply for her own selfish machinations. At this thought Misato began to cry. I'm so sick. I don't deserve his care.
"Misato, please tell me what's wrong, I want to help you." Shinji looked down at the beautiful woman in her late twenties, who he was cradling in his arms. Most _men_ in this boy's situation would be more concerned with copping a feel than the emotions of this hurt woman, but that was Shinji Ikari for ya'! Always thinking of the soul instead of the body. So when Misato stopped crying, he waited patiently for her to reveal her problem to him.
"Shinji, I'm so sorry." Misato managed to choke out, "I-I almost did something terrible and. . ."
"Shh." Shinji quieted Misato in a comforting manner. "I don't care about that, the important thing is that you didn't. Now please, tell me what's wrong, I don't want to have to call father and have him order you to tell me."
Misato smiled and his joke, and finally relinquished her problems. "It's my boyfriend, you know Mr. Kaji? Well, he's been out all the time lately. He hardly ever comes to visit me, and I've found a few phone numbers in his coat. I JUST KNOW he's been sleeping around Shinji! I'm afraid he doesn't love me anymore." Shinji looked up at Shinji, on the verge of tears.
Shinji just looked down at her with a knowing smile. "And did you call any of these numbers Misato-san? Or did you just assume?"
"I. . .I. . .I don't need to! I know!" Misato shouted desperately.
"No! No you don't!" Shinji said sternly, but not meant to harm or degrade, just rid her of her doubts. Shinji knew Mr. Kaji alright, and Shinji knew that he loved Misato deeply. He wouldn't let Misato's doubts ruin what she shared with Kaji. "It's alright Misato. I know Kaji, and I know he loves you. You must trust me on this one. Everything will be okay."
Misato thought about the irony of the situation. The boy who she had so often held and comforted, was now doing the same to her. It felt good, it felt warm, it felt safe. Misato let her body relax and soon she fell into a restful sleep. Shinji carefully picked her up and brought her to Rei's room. Shinji figured that Rei wouldn't care and wouldn't be home anyways. As Shinji lay Misato down he swore that he could hear a contented sigh. Shinji agreed that the soft mattress that Rei slept on was indeed a nice place to sleep. How did he know this? Well, Rei wasn't the only one with bad dreams sometimes. Shinji looked upon the beautiful women that had raised him like a mother, and had recently become somewhat of an older sister. Shinji was glad that he stopped her. It would have ruined things had she gone through with it. Shinji was happy with their relationship the way it was, and as he walked back to his room he smiled.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
What a wild night! He thought as he lay there. He was desperately trying to get some sleep, but some part of him was ill at ease. He didn't know what it was, but there was something wrong, he could feel it. He continued to puzzle over this when something suddenly hit him, and he knew. He remembered when he had had this feeling before, it was when Rei was fighting the 3rd angel. He felt like a part of himself was at risk of being ripped away from the whole. It felt terrible, and he never wanted to go through it again. As he sat there, however, he experienced this same feeling. Shinji quickly got up and ran to the phone. He checked the caller ID for the place Rei had called from. Seeing a students name he recognized, he took out the school directory and looked her up. Once he found the address he bolted out the door. Shinji ran at full speed toward the girl's house. He had heard that her parents were rich and were always traveling, so there was a good bet that they weren't home now. This fact worried Shinji even more. When Shinji reached the fairly large 4 bedroom home, he met a most annoying gate. Shinji, however, was not one to let simple gates stop him. As he ran towards it, his thought far beyond rational level, he thrust out is arms, palms parallel with the gates. As his palms contacted the reinforced steel, a extremely loud sound could be heard. It was comparable to the noise made when an Eva's foot impacts the pavement. When the dust cleared there were simply a couple pieces of gate around the ground, and one extremely driven teenage boy, running as fast as his legs could carry him towards the front door. Shinji felt no need to knock as he came to the door, quite the opposite. Shinji did something to the door that was much like what he did to the gate. Where his wrists should have snapped on the solid oak, the oak blew apart, allowing him entry into the large house. This did not go unnoticed by the occupants, and soon there was a group of around 3 girls standing at the top of the staircase. They recognized Shinji immediately and all looked away with half scared, half guilty faces. Shinji paid no attention to these girls though. Instead, he flew up the stairs and past them. He threw open the door to the room they had just been in, and his jaw dropped. On the bed, a four post European type, Rei was tied up. Each leg was tied to a pole at the end of the bed, while each hand was tied to a pole at the head of the bed. She was completely naked, and looked as though she had been crying. There was a girl with a whip and a nasty grin on her face. This was when Shinji saw the lash marks on Rei's stomach.
"What do you think of her now Shinji?! Now that she's been marred!" The girl cackled out.
Shinji turned to the girl with the whip. His face started to contort into the most frightening sight the houses occupants had ever seen. When his face was fully turned into a furious scowl, he charged. "YOU BITCH!" Shinji yelled as he grabbed the whip from and slapped the girl simultaneously. At first the girl looked dumbstruck, but then she regained the sneer.
"So you still like the little hore?!" The girl growled out, "Well what if she wasn't so innocent anymore? Tomoyuki! Get in here, it's your turn!"
Shinji turned to see a very large young man enter the room. To Shinji's surprise he was completely naked. Shinji was left clueless for a moment. He looked from Rei to the girl to the man, and it hit him. "YOU BASTARD!" Shinji took the whip and used it to catch the man's leg. As the whip wrapped around the man's ankle Shinji yanked on it. This caused the man to trip and fall forward, unfortunately banging his chin on the bedside in the process. As the man's head snapped back, Shinji realized that he probably had whiplash. Shinji didn't really want anyone to die, so he turned to the girl and said, "I'd call 911 if I were you, if you don't he might die." Shinji then went over to the bed and untied Rei. "Are you okay?" Shinji asked in a loving manner.
"Y-yes, it stings a bit, but you got here in time." Rei smiled a weak smile up at Shinji. Shinji let Rei get dressed, and then proceeded to carry her out in his arms. As they walked down the side walk a ways from the house, they thought they heard ambulance sirens begin. Soon they were home, Rei had almost fallen asleep, but the terror of the experience would keep her awake. Shinji was afraid that she might not be able to sleep for a while and voiced his concerns. Rei, however, assured him that she would be fine. Shinji carried Rei to his room, still unconvinced that she would be fine, and laid her down on the mattress. Rei smiled up at him, feeling lucky that she had such a wonderful partner in this horrible, ugly world. Shinji slowly reached down and caressed her pale cheek, feeling the flawlessly smooth skin run over his fingers. It felt wonderful to have her in his arms again. He leaned down and gave her a deep, and yet delicate kiss. Slowly rolling down Rei's cheek was one single tear. This tear was the culmination of all of the emotions she had felt in the last few hours. Surprise, happiness, accepted, confused, scared, terrified, pain, anger, relief, terror, escape, safe, love, joy. As Shinji and Rei kissed, Rei suddenly realized something. After the encounter today, where her most sacred possession was almost taken from her, she knew something she had been split over for a while. Rei knew who she wanted to give that possession to, and she knew when. Rei knew that she had to make sure that it was Shinji's, she couldn't take any chances. So as they they continued to kiss, Rei deepened it, slipping her tongue beyond Shinji's lips. They both moaned into the kiss, the new sensations taking them by surprise. Shinji broke the kiss, gasping not for air, but for control. What they had just shared was not simply a kiss, but pure emotion. Shinji had felt everything that Rei had been feeling for the past few hours, and it left him breathless. For a moment Shinji seemed lost, trying to figure out exactly what he had felt. When Shinji got to the end however, he realized just what the last emotion was and drew Rei into a tight hug. Shinji rocked Rei back and forth, trying to reinforce that last emotion. Shinji didn't know why, but as he was comforting Rei he started to sing.
"I can see you, I don't even know you, Fallin' into the sheets at night, I place my hands flat on my chest, I feel my heart beat back to the night, I tried countin' the sheep, And I talked to the shepherd and, Played with my pillow for ever, an ever, I sit alone and I watch the clock, I breath in on the tick, And out on the tock."
Rei looked up at him wondering what this strange song could be. Shinji didn't reply, instead he continued on with the song.
"I can hear your bear feet on the kitchen floor, And I don't have to have these dreams no more and I, Found someone, Just to hold me tight, Hold the insomniac all night."
And indeed they did. Neither of them could sleep all night. They just rocked back and forth as Shinji sang. When the clock showed 6:30 Shinji and Rei got up, never letting go of each other. They walked to the bathroom, Shinji's arm around Rei's waist. They took a shower together, washing each-other's backs. It was not so much sexual, as it was emotionally supportive. Each person putting care and love into their attentions. When they were done, Shinji went to wake up Misato, while Rei went to the kitchen so she could get out the utensils etc. that they would need to make breakfast. When Shinji came into the kitchen, he was followed by a very sleepy Misato. Once Misato had entered the kitchen, she proceeded to retrieve a beer out of the fridge.
"Here it comes." Shinji said.
"YEEEEAAAAHHHHH!!!!!" Misato yelled at the top of her lungs while slamming the empty Yebisu can on the counter. Know that Misato was fully awake, she glanced at Shinji. She immediately developed a deep blush. "Uuumm. . . Shinji?"
"It's ok Misato. Remember what I said?" Misato nodded at this and seemed to relax. Rei quirked an eyebrow at this. "I'll explain later Rei." Rei seemed to take this as an acceptable answer. Shinji sat down and started to eat his breakfast. He was about 5 minutes in to breakfast when a red tornado burst through the door. . .
"BAKA!!!!!!!!!" Asuka screamed. "HOW COU- WHY WOU- WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM?!"
Shinji was shocked for a second, and then regained enough composure to ask what was the matter. "Asuka, can I ask what the problem is?"
"WHAT THE PROBLEM IS?! WHAT THE PROBLEM IS?! I'll tell you what the problem is! Hikari told me about what happened."
Shinji paled, stood up straight and stiff as a board, turned around, and slowly walked into his room and shut the door. Rei glared at Asuka.
"Did you stay and wait for Hikari to finish the story before you came over here?" Rei asked Asuka. Misato also seemed to be annoyed with the redhead.
"W-well, I-I-I didn't need to!" Asuka insisted.
Misato rolled her eyes, realizing just how much Asuka sounded exactly like she did last night. "Maybe you ought to sit down Asuka, we'll take it from where she left off." And that's exactly what they did.

Author's Notes
YAY! Chapter 4 is officially done now! I hope you liked it! Sorry I didn't answer the Hikari thing yet, I'm sure you can survive another few weeks until 5 goes up. Sorry that this chapter is a bit short. I actually only wrote it in about 3 hours total(if even that much). My problem is not getting through a chapter, my problem is starting a chapter. Once I get going I just barrel through and see what happens. First, however, I have to be in the right mood to start and have the right motivation. The song I mentioned in this chapter is called Insomniac. While I don't know who does the original, the University of Illinois Xtenstion Chords do a great version of it(It's a cappella). I hope to make the next chapter a bit longer, but you never know. It all depends on how I feel when writing it. Well cya next time all!

"SHINJI! Do you have a hooker fetish or something?!"

While Misato had started out a _TERRIBLE_ cook, Shinji had been able to teach her some things. The second thing he noticed was the fact that Misato was wearing a cooking apron. Now this alone was not unusual, it was what she was wearing(or maybe wasn't wearing is better) underneath. And what was she wearing? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! ABSOLUTELY NOTH- - -
Shinji's thought's were cut short as his nose started gushing blood at an incredible velocity. His body was shot back against the wall and he received a concussion from the impact. The combination of blood loss, whiplash, and a concussion killed him. But he died with a silly grin on his face.

"I can see you, I don't even know you, Fallin' into the sheets at night, I place my hands flat on my chest, I feel my heart beat back to the night, I tried countin' the sheep, And I talked to the shepherd and, Played with my pillow for ever, an ever, I sit alone and I watch the clock, I breath in on the tick, And out on the tock."
Rei looked up at him wondering what this strange song could be. Shinji didn't reply, instead he continued on with the song.
"I can hear your bear feet on the kitchen floor, And I don't have to have these dreams no more and I, Found someone, Just to hold me tight, Hold the insomniac all night."
And indeed they did. Neither of them could sleep all night. They just rocked back and forth as Shinji sang. When the clock showed 6:30 Shinji and Rei got up, never letting go of each other. They walked to the bathroom, Shinji's arm around Rei's waist. They took a shower together, washing each-other's backs. It was not so much sexual, as it was emotionally supportive. Each person putting care and love into their attentions. When they were done, Shinji went to wake up Misato, while Rei went to the kitchen so she could get out the utensils etc. that they would need to make breakfast. When Shinji came into the kitchen, he was followed by a very sleepy Misato. Once Misato had entered the kitchen, she proceeded to retrieve a beer out of the fridge.
"Here it comes." Shinji said.
"YEEEEAAAAHHHHH!!!!!" Misato yelled at the top of her lungs while slamming the empty Yebisu can on the counter. Know that Misato was fully awake, she glanced at Shinji. She immediately developed a deep blush. "Uuumm. . . Shinji?"
"It's ok Misato. Remember what I said?" Misato nodded at this and seemed to relax. Rei quirked an eyebrow at this. "I'll explain later Rei." Rei seemed to take this as an acceptable answer. Shinji sat down and started to eat his breakfast. He was about 5 minutes in to breakfast when a red tornado burst through the door. . .
"BAKA!!!!!!!!!" Asuka screamed. "HOW COU- WHY WOU- WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM?!"
Shinji was shocked for a second, and then regained enough composure to ask what was the matter. "Asuka, can I ask what the problem is?"
"WHAT THE PROBLEM IS?! WHAT THE PROBLEM IS?! I'll tell you what the problem is! Hikari told me about what happened."
Shinji paled, stood up straight and stiff as a board, turned around, and slowly walked into his room and shut the door. Rei glared at Asuka.
"Did you stay and wait for Hikari to finish the story before you came over here?" Rei asked Asuka. Misato also seemed to be annoyed with the redhead.
"W-well, I-I-I didn't need to!" Asuka insisted.
Misato rolled her eyes, realizing just how much Asuka sounded exactly like she did last night. "Maybe you ought to sit down Asuka, we'll take it from where she left off." And that's exactly what they did.

Author's Notes
YAY! Chapter 4 is officially done now! I hope you liked it! Sorry I didn't answer the Hikari thing yet, I'm sure you can survive another few weeks until 5 goes up. Sorry that this chapter is a bit short. I actually only wrote it in about 3 hours total(if even that much). My problem is not getting through a chapter, my problem is starting a chapter. Once I get going I just barrel through and see what happens. First, however, I have to be in the right mood to start and have the right motivation. The song I mentioned in this chapter is called Insomniac. While I don't know who does the original, the University of Illinois Xtenstion Chords do a great version of it(It's a cappella). I hope to make the next chapter a bit longer, but you never know. It all depends on how I feel when writing it. Well cya next time all!

. . .Shinji started to sing.
"I can see you, I don't even know you, Fallin' into the sheets at night. . ."
"SHINJI! Do you have a hooker fetish or something?!"
Omake 2
While Misato had started out a _TERRIBLE_ cook, Shinji had been able to teach her some things. The second thing he noticed was the fact that Misato was wearing a cooking apron. Now this alone was not unusual, it was what she was wearing(or maybe wasn't wearing is better) underneath. And what was she wearing? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! ABSOLUTELY NOTH- - -
Shinji's thought's were cut short as his nose started gushing blood at an incredible velocity. His body was shot back against the wall and he received a concussion from the impact. The combination of blood loss, whiplash, and a concussion killed him. But he died with a silly grin on his face.
