Revised

-Author's Notes-
Yes, I borrowed ideas. But it turns out I'm really chunking them. One idea is changed SOO much, that it can barely be considered another's idea anymore. It was more like and idea that inspirited an idea. Act 2 will be an example of this. But then again, it may have already been used. Then, you should read the whole fic before you judge. Ok...as for the person who commented Shinji was a cheating bastard, you're in for another goody. Hahahaha. And, another girl. I hope some people don't hate me for this pairing. I tried to explain how, and why Misato feels that way, in this, and previous Chapters.
Thank You.
Disclaimer: Did I create Eva? Yep, they stole my idea. But do I own it? No. Stealin Gainex does.
-Author's POV-
Ok...I think it's time to focus on the sexy Misato...and make in interesting situation occur. You really don't find out how they handle it until next chapter. Which currently I'm not done with. NOW, If you excuse me, time to continue....*sighs* It's time to continue toward the conclusion of Act one.
-End POV-
-Gendo's Office-
"It is time to finish Act One of the planned Scenario."
"I will now present the case of one Misato Katsuragi."
-Exit Gendo's Office-
Revision note: The "Act 1" refered to is not even completed in chapter 12. I got carried away. This is not the actually end of this section in the "scenario."

Complicated Feelings
Chapter 6- Misato's Confused Heart

Misato was surprised at that. Asuka still acted the same to Shinji, somewhat, still belittling him as usual, but not quite as much as she used to. Misato assume she did so because she didn't want to lose him . Misato didn't blame her. Misato sighed. She was sitting in the kitchen eating her breakfast alone. Asuka and Shinji had left for school early today, leaving her eating alone. She would have to get ready to go to work in a little bit.

Misato brushed her teeth in front of the mirror. Kaji would be back from his "vacation" today. It probably was a vacation for him. He probably enjoyed the "game" of being a spy. He's going to get hurt, if he isn't careful. He should cut his losses right now. Oh well, Misato would call him a little later, perhaps when she is tired of reading all the paper work she has to read, and sign.
********
Misato was walking into NERV's break room when she found Kaji going to *kiss* Maya!
"Are you sure about what you are doing? I'll tell Misato-san and Ritsuko sempai!"
"Before you can say a word, I'll cover your lips with mine..." Kaji leaned in for the kiss, but was interrupted by a jealous Misato.
"Hello *Kaji*. So nice to see that you're back." Misato walked toward the machines that were behind Kaji and Maya. Maya bowed and slipped away.

"Ah, hello Misato." He did a gentlemanly bow. "I'm glad to see you."
Misato's soda fell out of the machine. She bent over to retrieve it, then opened it and took a sip. Kaji resumed leaning against one of the machines.

"So what you do while you were away?"
"A little of this, a little of that."
"I see. Don't go to far."
"Don't worry about me, Misato. Do you want to go out for drinks tonight?"
"On you?"
"Of course."
"Well if you insist."
********
Misato was watching Shinji's face during his synchronization. He was trying hard. He had surpassed Asuka. She smiled. He did his best if someone else just asked it of him. He deserved praise. She looked at him and did a thumbs up.
(In English) "Shinji, you are number one!". Though, with her accent, it sounded more like "Yu aa namba wan!"

Shinji smiled. He liked being appreciated. That really mattered to him. It mattered what others thought. Misato made him happy. She was always so kind to him. She worried about him more than anyone else did. Misato was also very beautiful. He just *had* to get a sexy guardian. He was too young for her though. Why was he even thinking about Misato anyway? Not like anything could happen, he had Asuka, not to mention fixing things with Rei to deal with. He was too young for Misato anyway.

Asuka's sync ratio dropped some when she heard her say that to Shinji. She was her boyfriend, but doesn't mean he could be better than she could. The baka was just lucky. Luck was on his side, while skill was on hers. She'd show him next angel attack.

Ritsuko was sipping her coffee as they were observing the data recorded. Ritsuko then spoke to Misato without moving her from the screen.

"So, going out with Kaji tonight? Is it a date?"
"No, it isn't a date. You can come along if you wish. It will be just like old times."
"No.... I'm not really in the mood. I, need some time by myself."
Misato looked into her eyes, but Ritsuko was looking downward and did not meet her gaze.
"Ritsuko....?"
*******

Shinji climbed out of his entry plug. He started for the locker room, but then was afraid Asuka would get mad at him for not waiting for her. He stopped and turned around. He watched her approach. Asuka make any eye contact with Shinji. Asuka breezed by, bumping into him with her shoulder for good measure. She blew him off.

Shinji was confused. Asuka was so nice before. Maybe it was because he beat her sync ratio. Shinji was inexperienced in relationships. Did this mean they were broken up? He saw Rei coming down the walkway.

"Rei! I wanted to talk to you."
Rei was silent, and expressionless.
"Rei, I wanted to talk to you about us."
"What us? The last time I recalled, there was only you and Asuka."
"Rei, I ... don't even understand that myself. I wanted to talk to you about that."
"What reason would you have to talk to me about that?"
"Are mad at me Rei?"
"No. Not at all. Excuse me, I have to change."
Rei paused for a moment before she started to walk. Without looking at him, she said, "Ayanami. Not Rei, Ayanami."

It was a simple statement that spoke leagues, and hurt leagues. Shinji was speechless. That statement was basically throwing away any semblance of a relationship between them, as friends or lovers.

Shinji blankly moved to the side, and Rei continued walking. Her eyes slightly squinted as if about to cry for a moment, but no one was in front of her, so no one knew. Shinji could not think of what he should do. Shinji sighed and started walking toward the locker room. He was going to take a long shower, to think about what just went wrong here with two of the most important women to him.

Misato noticed the way the girls treated him from the window. Both girls don't seem to like him at the moment. He got the cold shoulder twice.
Wait, Rei was always cold. So I guess that leaves Asuka. They were so smug not too long ago.

Misato would talk to Shinji tonight, after she got back from drinking.
******
Misato sat and talked with Kaji for a while. It was mostly about their college days. Kaji made her a bit sick talking a bit too much about what they did. She then had to go use the bathroom, and she stood up to go.

"I have to go to the restroom."
"Oh, take your time, " Kaji said,"You better not be skipping out like you used to do on your dates in college."
"Right..Right, I'm not..."
"Besides, they don't have windows in this restroom."

Misato walked into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. She was sufficiently drunk. She went into the stall and did her business. She then came back out, and checked her appearance in the mirror again. Her thoughts drifted to Shinji. She remembers she told herself that she would talk to him this evening. If she were to, she'd have to leave now. She came out of the bathroom, and came to the bar counter.
"Well it's time for me to take my leave. I promised myself I would do something tonight. You don't mind do you do you?"
Kaji said that he hoped she would ....make it up to him later. Misato rolled her eyes.
"Well, Kaji, call me, and don't forget you have to pay my tab, you said you would."
"As you wish, lovely."
"Kaji, oh stop." She said heavily. Kaji's attempts made her exasperated. His routine was old, though she tried not to let it get to her.
*****
When Misato got home, it was a bit late, but she thought Shinji might still be awake. She came in the door.

"I'm back!" She paused for a moment, awaiting a response.
"Welcome home!"

She smiled. He was awake. She would now have to talk to him, but how would she begin. She decided it needed to be casual, and maybe she'd bring it up during a commercial or after a show was over on TV. She decided that they should watch TV together. She kicked off her shoes, and went into her room. She wanted to get out of the outfit and into something comfortable. She found her yellow shirt, and her tight and short shorts, and put them on. She then went to the refrigerator to retrieve some beer. She never could seem to stop drinking, even after she was just out drinking. She plopped down on the couch.

"Shinji!"
"Yes, Misato?"
"Come sit down and watch TV with me."
"Oh. Okay."

Shinji thought this was weird. Misato rarely watched TV with him, and she knew he didn't find much interest in it. He had his interest in music, not movies and acting. Shinji sat on the opposite end of the couch. Misato felt him sit down. His distance bothered her. They had been living together for such a long time, and yet he's afraid to be near her.

"Shinji, you don't have to sit all the way over there."

Shinji moved to only half way across the couch. Misato put her arm around him and pulled him closer. Shinji was right up against her side. She was so soft. He could feel the smoothness of her skin from the contact her arm made. He sighed at the thought.

Misato looked down at Shinji. He seemed to be uncomfortable. She pulled him deeper into embrace hoping he would relax. So much so, that his leg ended up over hers. Her mind suddenly seemed to stop thinking along the lines as guardian, and adopted mother. She likes the way it felt to be close to someone. It makes her feel real, alive. It proves her existence. He was small, but his body was firm. It hinted strength. He was also warm. He seemed to be getting warmer, or maybe she was getting warmer. She decided her mind had to get out of this train of thought.

"Shinji, what's wrong with you and Asuka?" She said casually, still looking at the television, but not paying true attention to it.

Shinji was lost in the feeling to be so close to someone else. Also in being so close to a prime example of the female enigma. He was blushing some. His face was kind of close to her breasts, because he was under her arm. He then realized she asked him a question.

"Oh, I'm no sure. Maybe it is because my sync score is better than hers, so she's mad."
"She let that bother her? You are her boyfriend now. She should be proud of her boyfriend."
"I'm not sure if we are even together anymore. She wouldn't talk to me. I don't know where she is, probably Hikari's."
Misato forgot about Asuka. Good thing she isn't here, or the way she was sitting with Shinji would be questionable.
"Well, Shinji, don't worry, your a cute boy, and lots of girls like you."
"Only because I'm an Eva pilot."
"Well, I'm sure there is someone out there that likes you for you."
"None of those girls know me. No one does. At least not more than you, Asuka, and Rei."
Misato felt sad. Shinji acted like he felt no one cared for him. But she did. She had to cheer him up.
"Well, I like you Shinji, I think you're cute." Misato inwardly cringed, but kept her smile. It came out like a little girl's way of talking.
"Misato, that's different. I'm not even a man. Besides you like Kaji." He said it dejectedly, but he mentioned Kaji with some humor.
"Oh, is it really that much different?"

She turned his face toward her. She looked into his depressed eyes. They were so caring, yet so hurt. She blinked, or only started to; she realized her eyes stayed closed too long for a blink. She heard a startled mumble out of Shinji. She then opened her eyes. She was kissing Shinji! This wasn't right. She had to stop. How would she explain herself? She did not notice through all those thoughts, not once did she stop. In fact, her other arm appeared to wrap around Shinji.

Shinji was shocked stiff. It felt nice, but never did he expect this from Misato. Her lips were so soft. They tasted nice. He saw Misato's eyes open, then widen in shock, her eyes had darted, as if thinking about what to do. But never did she stop. Then she closed her eyes again. She wrapped her other arm around him. Shinji reflexively put his arms around her. Misato's hand went to the back of Shinji's head. Shinji had kissed Asuka before, but it wasn't nearly anything like this. Shinji started to kiss back, there wasn't any taking this back now, and he was enjoying it. He had some kissing experience thanks to Asuka, and he tried to put it to some use.

Misato was shocked to feel Shinji kissing her back. The boy finally grew a pair she thought. But then she remembered how much he risked his life every angel attack for her. She deepened the kiss.

Shinji felt Misato's tongue caress his lip. He brushed his tongue against it. Misato moaned. Shinji almost jumped when he heard the purr-like moan. He took that as a sign that she was enjoying it. They then started caressing tongues, then pushed their tongues into each other's mouth. They both started moaning. They enjoyed the feeling of something warm and wet in their mouth. Their lips practically ceased to move, as the kiss became all tongue. Then the phone rang. They both jumped out of their skin and broke the kiss. Misato was suddenly in her room, and picked up the phone. Shinji sat there dumbfounded, and spaced out. He couldn't even begin to comprehend what happened. Shinji's brain was taking time to "reboot."

"Oh, Hello Asuka? You are at Hikari's? Oh, it's fine? You're spending tomorrow night too? That's fine. Ja."

Misato walked back into the living room.
Shinji didn't have a clue what to say. He looked at her with questioning eyes. "Misato..."
"Don't worry Shinji, Asuka is spending the night at Hikari's, so we have the house all to ourselves, " Misato said seductively.
"MISATO!" Shinji turned a color of red that has not yet been seen on a person.
"I'm just teasing Shinji. Time to go to bed."
"Ah."
"You are going to *your* bed." He blushed again.
"But...what about...?"
"What we just did? Don't think about it right now. Get some rest. You should have been asleep a while ago. Night Shinji."

Misato walked back into her room and shut the door. She had a lot of thinking to do. She didn't know why she did that. Actually she did. She just didn't want to admit it to herself. She liked *Shinji*. A mere child, at least by age and society's standards. She looked into her mind. She didn't think of Shinji as a child. Just as a person. She never had realized this before. She never really could think of him as a mother. Besides, she never had a mother. She did not know how it was to be one. She just cared about him, and took care of him. She was his guardian; she was responsible for him. She did not have to hardly ever exercise her authority as guardian often with Shinji. Shinji in a lot of ways was taking care of her. He took care of all the chores around the house and shopping, and laundry. He kept her from lying in her own filth. As a pilot, he also gets paid; he could live on his own. He didn't need her at all. She sighed and went to sleep. She figured she would sleep on it, and lay off the beers when around Shinji from now on. She hoped that would put an end to any further incidents.

Shinji laid in his bed, and his SDAT was not on. He was lost in his thoughts. He wasn't sure how to act around Misato anymore. At least Asuka wasn't here, and caught them. He still had Misato's touch on his mind. He wanted to do that again. He always did want to kiss her before. She was always so uptight sometimes when situations were tough. He wanted to kiss her away. But he couldn't. Asuka would be mad if she found out. She would also blow it out of proportion. That was one thing that Shinji knew. He would never let Asuka find out. Especially since they are "together."
-Author Notes-
Well I wanted to get a bit more of Kaji in than I did. I will probably touch on it next chapter. The second Act may be delayed while I might choose to resolve this, before going on to the next Act. I have to do that because of Asuka, mostly. She plays a major part in this role. I'm still trying to decide if my situation will be with all the pilots..or just Asuka and Shinji. Logically, only Asuka and Shinji would work, but a good writer can bend logic to his will. Also the details I got from the kiss are very similar to the way my girlfriend and me kissed with tongue for the first time. That is how the detail seems so real. So thank her. Lol
Until Next Chapter, Ja ne!

*OMAKE*
Then the phone rang. They both jumped out of their skin and broke the kiss. Misato was suddenly in her room, and picked up the phone. Shinji sat there dumbfounded, and spaced out. He couldn't even begin to comprehend what happened.
"Oh, Hello Asuka? You are at Hikari's? Oh, it's fine? You're spending tomorrow night too? That's fine. Ja."
Misato walked back into the living room.
Shinji didn't have a clue what to say. He looked at her with questioning eyes. "Misato..."
"Don't worry Shinji, Asuka is spending the night at Hikari's, so we have the house all to ourselves, " Misato said seductively.
"MISATO!" Shinji turned a color of red that has not yet been seen on a person.
"I'm just teasing Shinji. Time to go to bed."
"Ok."
Misato walked toward her room and started pulling her shirt off. Shinji followed closely behind.
Misato walked in her room and then heard the door shut before she could turn around to do it herself.
"Shinji?" She was standing before him topless. Shinji took one of her breasts in his hand, and pulled her into embrace with the other.
"You never said whose bed."
"OH SHINJI!!!"
