Chapter 4

My heart… my heart

[Misato's Apartment, Nerv Quarters]

Ring… Ring… Ring…

Ring… Ring… Ring…

'I'll get it…'

'Thanks Shin chan…'

'No prob Miss Misato…'

Sigh… she could sure be a couch potato sometimes.

Shinji imagines Misato watching the tv… eating chips and drinking beer…

Heh… I wonder how she could stand living like that.

[Flashback]

oO(a few months back)

'Hey Shinji… come in.'

She seems to be a nice lady… but…

'I don't want to burden you…'

Misato's facial expression flushed…

'Sigh… do I have to do everything?'

She pulls Shinji by the ear…

'Get in…'

'Ow ow ow ow'

'…'

[Present]

He he… I didn't expect things would turn this way.

Shinji trots towards the phone and answers it.

'Misato residence, Ikari Shinji here.'

'…'

'Hello…'

hangs, beep beep beep.

That was strange… someone hang up on me… and man I've been practicing on how to answer the phone…

Shinji Imagines… oO(Hi, hello… I'm blah blah blah…)

All those times in front of the mirror… sigh…

'Shinji… who was it?' Misato calls from the terrace, engrossed in her movie… boys don't cry.

Shinji trots back and jumps beside Misato… 'Nothing… hang up on me before I could here anyone speak.'

She's drunk…

'You shouldn't drink that much you know…'

'… Like I care… It feels good.'

… Sigh… if she only knows that I care so much about her…

'Misato… um… I'm going out for awhile… will you be ok here?'

'I'm a big girl now Shinji… I can take care of myself… don't go to late ok…? And Shinji…'

'Yes?'

'Use your Nerv id when you need to purchase something. They'll take care of the rest.'

'Thank's Miss Misato…'

… Shinji readied his things then went out…

'If he only knew how I felt about him…'

Misato looks at the ceiling… 'Like a son…'

[Nerv Officer's Apartment Hallways]

'…'

'Shinji?'

'Ye…?'

Before Shinji had a chance to look around. An overhand right went straight into his chin knocking him down.

WAAAAAAP

'… That hurt.'

oO(Oro?)

The person… didn't leave Shinji a chance to recuperate and hit Shinji again and again…

…Damn… it…

Another holds Shinji in his arms and puts him on his back.

Without a word… the one who knocked Shinji out pulled down his pants…

'Stop… stop… stop it…' Shinji screamed, but for some reason, no one seemed to have heard him.

The last he recalled was the laughter of the two who… that took away his manhood.

[Nerv Installation, Infirmary]

'Three days till another angel attacks… and this happens.'

'Ritsuko…'

'… Unforgivable…'

'The word fag was vandalized on his forehead. Knife markings…'

Maya wonders… oO(Gay???) oh boy… Ritsuko chan will take this personally.

'It's an attack against humanity…'

'Ritsuko chan… what will we do?'

'Has the commander been informed?'

'Yes…'

'That means news will travel to Rei soon… What about the Major?'

'She passed out while she was at home… to much to drink…'

'I see…' oO(I told Gendou it was a very bad idea.)

Then again… she has done her best… knowing how she was before…

[Flashback]

I met Misato once in lunch… she was a very talkative person… later did I knew she had a very traumatic experience and she's been lively ever since… I used to wonder why she disappeared for almost a week just to find out… Kaji… hehe… the two did nothing but make love for a whole week… nymphs… not that I mind…

[Present]

Ritsuko smiles as she looks at Maya…

The girl just blushes and steals a kiss from her superior.

[Nerv sanctuary, Eva cages 02, 03, and 04]

'Asuka… please take it easy…'

'You tell that to Shinji…'

'She's right Kensuke…'

'I know Touji… and don't you guys think I don't care about Shinji…'

'Hate crime sucks…'

'Yeah…' they all agreed in unison.

'So what do we do about it?'

'I'll use Nerv's info sources to search them all out.'

'Yeah… Kensuke can do that.' Touji replies

'What about us?' Asked Hikari

Asuka frowned… 'we have to deal with the Seraphs since Shinji's not available…  and we have to sync with Rei…'

'The three of us?'

'Yeah…'

This isn't good… Hikari imagines herself being molested by Rei… in her arms… kissing… being caressed and kissed in her neck… and being felt in her inner thighs…

The gang gave Hikari a questionable look…

Kensuke concluded… Perv…

oO(I'm innocent I tell you… so very innocent… don't look at me like that… moma… why did you have to die… wAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!)

[Rei's Evangelion unit Zero]

… This wasn't supposed to happen… She stares tries to control her breathing as she steadies her sync with the eva.

He's mine… no one is supposed to touch him.

The eva 01 does a summersault as she pushes her feet against the wall tumbling unto an imaginary virtual angel, ripping it apart.

'She's not happy isn't she?'

'No she's not professor…'

'You knew it had to be done…'

'Don't remind me…'

'I see…'

'There should have been another way…'

'It was the only way to awaken the Eva's and her pilots…'

'Even so… that doesn't have to mean I like the idea of my son getting raped'

'Yeah… It still stings…'

Fuyutsuki feels the side of his fractured jaw and wonders if it was worth the loss of their friendship…
