Psycho Analysis
Chapter 2
-Within the enclosed walls of suite 32 there was an eerie calm as the two female Evangelion pilots faced off with unblinking eyes, neither of them moving a muscle. The intense stare one was giving was completely opposite to the calm demeanor of the other. Curiosity got the better of some people and several stopped to watch the event unfold. A small audience made up, of a FedEx delivery guy, the entire custodian staff, plus a window washer all watched in anticipation.
" Your move first child…" The fiery red head said,
-Dr. Morimoto watched on, taking every detail in his notebook and the onlookers whispered amongst themselves as they too watched the grudge match take place. The competition was fierce as this contest of ability and skill was nearing its end. Up to this point the bout was fast paced and each side quickly traded shots, then it all came down to a final standstill. One mistake or false move could be the difference between victory and defeat.
"I am well aware Pilot Sorhyu" Rei said
-Knowing that she was clearly at disadvantage; Rei rethought her strategy and pursued a different path towards her ultimate goal of triumph.
"Well you sure are taking your sweet time…" Asuka said sounding bored,
-No one in the entire room realized how nervous Asuka actually was as she showed a great deal of confidence on the outside but, on the inside she was worried, constantly questioning herself, looking for every possible opening and also trying to anticipate the girl's next move.
-To everyone's astonishment Rei in one action shifted the game in her favor and devastated Ms. Sorhyu's defensive strategy.
" Typical move, first child…." Asuka mused, grinning widely
-The second child, was cunning and sly, she had already anticipated the attack long before, moreover she was ready to end the game there and now.
" Whoops……..looks like times up!" The shrink reminded, " The first session is over…..our next appointment is next week"
" Wait!……I have to finish the game!" Asuka begged,
" You'll just have to wait for the next session" Dr. Morimoto pointed out,
-No sooner he said that, he signed the release form for the FedEx delivery guy, gave the window washer a dirty look then closed the blinds, and kicked out whoever was left in the room.
**********************************
-Outside the office was an angry red head furious at the fact she couldn't finish the game and prove that she in actuality was superior to her long time rival Rei Ayanami.
" This isn't over first child….….you can count on that….." Asuka vowed,
"Oh come on Asuka, you said it your self, they're just games" The third child said,
-Interrupting Shinji, Rei said her good-byes and departed for the Geo-Front.
" I am needed at the Geo-front…" The pilot of unit zero stated as she left the pint-size waiting room,
-After she had left saying her……..good-byes? An awkward silence was developing between pilot Ikari and pilot Sorhyu. The shy Japanese boy was sensing some bitterness in his fellow pilot. Offering some words of concern was not a deed he was use to doing……..so…….he did the next best thing…..
"Yeah we better go too…..uhhh..….we still need to….do…….the…grocery shopping" Shinji said,
"…..fine….whatever……"
-Before leaving the room Shinji took notice that the secretary wasn't there at the desk and no where in the room. He was partly disappointed because, she sure was easy on the eyes. Trying to make the best out of an odd situation, he thought it best to say something before complete silence would envelop both of them.
"Hey……..uhh…….Asuka did you notice that Ayanami was acting strangely today?"
"……..No lets get out of here……"
" All right then, we better get going anyway." Shinji sighed as they both left
for the market place."
-When it comes down to it…….Shinji needed more practice with expressing concern and putting it into coherent words.
**********************************
-Elsewhere on the streets of Tokyo 3, an old and busted up Honda Civic was trying to make its way towards the very same building the pilots were leaving from. Pushing the vehicle to its limits, Mana desperately tried to get to the office before Shinji left.
" What a piece of crap………can't this thing go any faster."
*********************************
-Also on the streets of Tokyo 3, a worn out blue sports car was coming from the psychiatrist office with Shinji and Asuka as passengers. Both the pilots knew that since Misato was in the driver's seat it was best not to say anything that would anger her further.
-Misato had just come from what she thought……….was Starbucks and was on her way to pick up Shinji and Asuka. Apparently……there isn't a Starbucks in Japan and therefore she was frustrated that the manager kept insisting that she was in a seven-eleven.
-Using her exceptional skills as a master debater (say that five times fast) …..… she won the argument …………….by pulling out her gun and firing several shots at the cash register. The problem was, after all the effort she used her beloved caffeine drink was not obtained.
-Fearing for his life, the manger huddled in a corner and began to cry………leaving Misato to fend for herself. The cappuccino maker was a complicated machine for someone who was in her state of mind…….and out of anger she opened fire on the defenseless drink machine.
-Not bothering to just plug it in she destroyed the last thing that would keep her rational. So, to get her mind of beer she decided she would drive as fast and as recklessly as possible.
" I wonder why every ones driving SO DAM SLOW?!??……….HEY! That looks like the secretary from Dr. Morimoto's office! I'll go say HELLO!" Ms. Katsuragi said,
***********************************
-Seeing a certain blue sports car coming directly towards her, Mana swerved desperately trying to avoid the blur of light. To no avail she crashed into a street pole anyway and lost all hope of getting to Shinji in time. Although she was unscathed by the impact, her car was a complete wreck.
" DAM YOU HONDA and YOUR UGLY CARS!!!!" she yelled,
-More than upset, Mana began expressing her anger and rage as she acquired a heavy two by four, which was just lying around. Proceeding to savagely beat what was left of her hunk of junk, she soon conceived that the two by four was far too heavy for her particular physique.
-Sighing in defeat, she gave up and sat along the side of the road as others slowed down to have a look at the accident but had no consideration to stop. Just as she got comfortable, her car burst into flames and so she watched on wondering how she was going to get home.
-As soon as the young intern sat down the very same sports car that caused her to crash pulled up along side her. She tried to make out who the driver was, but the tinted window prevented anyone to see who was inside. Rolling to a stop, the driver opened the window, surprising Mana.
"HI THERE!…..I remember you from the waiting room!" Misato said,
-Mana's first reaction to Misato was a starting yelp, and then she squinted her eyes to get a look at who it was. What she saw was smiling Misato but it wasn't just any smile it was the kind of smile that crazy people had.
"Oh, hi Ms. Katsuragi……."
" We haven't been properly introduced!…….what's your name?" Misato exclaimed,
"Oh you can just call me Mana……"
"Mana it is! Well see yah later!!!" the major said as she resumed her rampage,
-The engine roared as the car returned to the flow of traffic. The headlights blinded the other drivers as Misato skillfully maneuvered herself into doing a couple doughnuts in the middle of the road.
" WAIT!!!! GIVE ME A RIDE!……" Mana pleaded,
-The guardian did not take notice that Mana was stranded and could sure have had used her help. So Mana perched herself atop a nice looking brick wall and then she hoped that a person was gracious enough to stop for her.
" It's gonna be one of those nights………" she whispered to herself,
***********************************
-Being in Dr. Morimoto office all day long took its toll on the young Eva pilots, the three of them had been in the office for almost eight hours. Once they left, it didn't take long for the sun to set. In fact inside the car was a sleeping Shinji and Asuka sitting in the back seat. As luck would have it, Shinji was not awake to see the girl he was thinking about ever since he had seen her. The poor boy thought that Mana just wanted an autograph and nothing more.
" HEY WAKE UP!" the major yelled,
-Misato's mad driving frenzy had satisfied her impulse to drink but it was starting to lose its effect. So what better way to get her mind on something else, than to eat until she passed out. Rather than getting her own food she forced Shinji and Asuka to the shopping.
" Here's a five hundred yen GET ME some FOOD!" Misato ordered,
-Seeing that pleading with the operation's director would resolve nothing, they took the money and the two very tired teens stumbled out of the car. While they walked towards the market, Shinji some how managed to get a shopping cart and get to the entrance without falling asleep on the spot.
" You there, you look like a kind and generous person." A voice said,
-Looking up from his downward gaze, he saw that it was a man holding a small bucket. He took note that this was someone he didn't know; as a result he dismissed the thought that the man was talking to him. He began to push his cart once again but the man stepped in front of him.
" You sir, I can see it in your eyes, I can see that you're a kind person."
" Really? " Shinji said,
" Yes, I can tell that you are a gentle person who yearns to care for others" the man explained,
" Wow…….no one ever told me that before" Shinji said sounding baffled,
" Please if you care for others you must help me" the man pleaded
" How can help?" Shinji responded
***********************************
-Asuka had already entered the shop and began to browse the store leaving Shinji with the man outside. She found the magazine isle and started to rummage through the magazines. Annoyed that she could find nothing she liked she went back outside to find Shinji.
***********************************
" Please spare as much money as you can for the hungry children of the world, kind sir." The man pleaded,
" Of, course anything to help….." Shinji said as he pulled out one hundred yen,
" Is THAT it! Surely some one as kind as you would give MORE! The man said,
-Shinji thought for a moment, then thought about the repercussions of spending all the food money on this and what would happen when he got home to a very angry Misato. After much thought his decision was not to give the money because he did not want to face the wrath of his guardian.
" I can't give you anymore money that's all I can spare" the boy tried to explained,
" THINK ABOUT THE CHILDREN!" The man protested,
" I really can't help you…." Shinji muttered,
" BE reasonable WOULDN'T you be hungry if you haven't eaten for A whole YEAR! The man said,
"I'm really sorry…..I jus-…"
" If you don't help THE…….CHILDREN!! WHO ELSE WILL!" the man said interrupting the Eva pilot, " WHO's going to SAVE the CHILDREN!!"
"….I want to help you bu-…"
-Before the young teen could finish his sentence the strange man shoved the plastic bucket in his face.
" SMELL IT, that's the SOUND of pain and suffering from the Hungry children!" the crazed man said, " LOOK at its emptiness!"
" Wait…….what?" Shinji questioned,
-Just then the shopkeeper stepped out followed by Asuka who bought herself a candy bar on her way out. The red head was surprised at what she saw, which was Shinji up against a wall with a bucket in his face.
" HEY, You get out of here you PUNK!" the shopkeeper yelled,
-The crazed man dropped his bucket and ran away a fast as he could leaving behind the hundred yen.
" Sorry about that……that guy comes around here every so often to try and con his way into getting money from unsuspecting people." The shopkeeper said,
"What….was that all about Shinji?" Asuka said,
"Let's just do the shopping before I get attacked by a monkey or something" Shinji said,
***********************************
-Shopping was simple all they had to do was get as much junk food as possible and in no time they were done, then they called up Misato for a ride back home. The major was more than happy with all the food and she started eating while driving.
" MMFFffmmmmm!!"
" Hey you guys got Pickled Wasabi Horse MEAT!"
"….Oh……they're asleep…..MORE FOR ME!"
-Inside the car, the two pilots were once again heavy with sleep and before long they arrived home shopping bags in hand.
"MMMHHffff…….Before you guys got to bed remember,……-HMMfff…..that tomorrow is your next appointment-…..MfaammaaFF"
-For Asuka and Shinji it was a long day and they both went to their own rooms falling fast asleep, also ignoring what ever Misato was mumbling as she spoke with her mouth full of food.
***********************************
-Else where in a random dark alley, Mana tried to find her way back to the clinic so she can find her way home from there. She was both exhausted and afraid as she tried to focus her thoughts on something else rather then her current state. It was also a bit chilly and she was in her shorts while wearing a tight shirt, which she thought would really impress Shinji.
-She sighed as she thought about the boy. She would have given anything for him to notice her or at least to look at her cleavage or something. But now look at her. She was stuck in this cold, dark alley with nothing to protect herself with. And who knows how many perverts are right out there in the shadows, waiting to rape her? Simply, Mana wasn't having a good day.
-Then out of nowhere, she felt a slight breeze and the sound of someone's footsteps from behind her. Then, she shrieked as she felt someone tap on her shoulder. She jumped up in the air and turned around to take a look at the stranger.
"Who....who are you!!" Mana yelled at the stranger.
-The man came out of the shadows and he smiled at her as his teeth shined brightly under the moonlight. Then he slowly put his hands inside his yellow trench coat...
-Mana gulped and started to shiver from fear. She slowly backed away, until she was up against the wall and he slowly advanced towards her with his hand still inside his coat. He continued to do so, until he was only a few steps away from her. Grinning, he jerked his hand out of the inner pocket of his trench coat and whipped out his......
Bucket?
"You look like a nice person, lady. Would you like to help out the hungry children? It'll only cost you a couple of hundred yen?"
'Wha......what the hell is this?" Mana thought as she looked at the man with disbelief.
"Do…..do you realize how much you scared me?" Mana asked a she failed to compose herself and stuttered like a frightened child.
" Huh?" the strange man said,
-The man withdrew his bucket away from her face as Mana stepped on his foot and repeatedly threw jabs at the man's chin. She then spinned around and let him have it on the crotch with her tornado kick, which sent him flying higher then any birds.
" YOU DO NOT MESS WITH ME YOU CREEP!!!!!!" Mana yelled as she looked up at the night sky. The echoes of her voice sent the neighbor dogs into a howling madness, until she yelled again for the stupid dogs to shut the hell up.
-And as soon as everything got quiet, she began to walk towards the direction of the clinic, while she tried to warm herself by rubbing her body with the palm of her hands.
"Damn its chilly."
To be continued….

Jay's author's notes: Did you hate it? Did you Love it? Tell ME! REVIEW!
Well that was the second chapter and originally this was SUPPOSE to be a serious story full of drama and angst. How it turned out to be this…..really proves I can't be serious for one second. Anyway I am really happy I got some half-decent reviews this time, but feel free to flame if I'm doing something wrong or if you just feel like it.
If you haven't noticed yet there IS OOC in the story BUT not that much…..and its just mostly Rei……If you think that the other characters are a bit OOC its because they reflect the manga mostly, not the series. So don't kill me because I'm not bashing the characters.
I thank Arucard the Rouge vampire for pre-reading, helping me with parts of the story, cooking my food, washing my car and loaning me all that money.
Yet again, a quote to end the chapter……..
" If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy all her friends?
