Fallen ~ Chapter one Emergence

Misato Katsuragi looked at the photo and profile of the boy she was supposed to pick up.

'He certainly doesn't look like he is fourteen.' she said aloud to herself. She was right. The boy in the photograph had sharp fetures with no sign of the roundness of childhood. He had long, dark brown hair that reached his waist and was in a queue. His dark blue eyes held much determination with just a small spark of innocence. Though the spark was small it shone brighter than any star.

'He is kind of cute. Wait a minute! what am I saying? He is only a child!' she said to herself, shocked and appauled with her wayward thoughts.

Her blue renault sped to a stop in front of the train station where she was supposed to pick up Shinji. There he was, standing in front of the station with a slight smirk on his face with a slight tint of amusement shining in his deep blue eyes while he watched the angel destroying the VOTLs.

'Get in!' Katsuragi screamed as a disabled VOTL plummeted twards them. She shook in fear as the wreakage landed not four yards away.

'Sure' Shinji said, erily calm, as he walked around to the passenger's side door and got in. He soon found out that Misato, as she had told him to call her, was quite insane while driving.

Misato looked over to find Shinji staring at her. She felt her face get slightly warmer.

'See something appealing?' she asked teasingly, trying to turn his attention away from her.

'Actually, yes, I do find something extremely appealing.' Shinji replied, succeeding in making her face break out in a full blush.

Misato's cheeks had reached a shade of red that she had not thought possible to be a blush and not paint and she turned back to her driving. Her thoughts, however, stayed on the young man sitting beside her.

'He is charming, not like Kagi's charming, but a charmin of his own design.' as her thoughts turned to her former lover she felt her cheeks get even hotter and a slight rise in her spirits.

Shinji blushed when Misato leaned over him to look out the window with some binoculars. As she looked over she saw the VOTLs moving away from the demonic behemoth.

'Oh no!' she yelled, startling Shinji, who was just starting to appreciate the view thier position provided. 'They're going to drop and N2 mine!'

Just above where they were, the restraints holding the N2 mine to the VOTL malfunctioned, dropping the mine almost directly on them.

'God help us.' Misato murmmured as she saw the mine falling twards them. She ducked her head and waited for the enevitable.

~I will. Shinji, do it.~

Shinji nodded, he was about to do it anyway. He spread an At field that made the car expand and unfurled his eight black wings. He took Misato into his arms and curled his wings around her as a shield.

Misato opened her eyes when she felt Shinji take her into a protective embrace. She looked forward and stared in shock as she saw his wings.

'He has wings.' she thought, her mind overloading while trying to comprehend the fact. So, she did the only logical thing.

She fainted.
