Neon Genesis Evangelion

Chapter Two

Weightless, floating inside the entry plug, Shinji looks around the sea of endless LCL. The light blue reflections seem to relax him. He feels the precense of another body next to his bare one. It's Yuzika, she is floating around weightless as well close to him, her eyes open and her arms extend out twards him. Shinji floats twards her with his arms extended also.

Shinji jerks awake for the third time, from the same dream, or nightmare.
" Another dream, just like that. For the third time," He wipes the sweat from his brow. " About Yuzika again." He murmers. Shinji gets up slowly and walks into the kitchen to make breakfast. Asuka is asleep on the couch in her school uniform. Shinji wondered why Asuka was sleeping on the couch in the first place. He shrugs and poors some warm water into a pan, puts it on the stove and poors a few cups of rice into it. He sighs, and starts on the Miso soup. He felt like he needed a traditional breakfast today.
Asuka awoke to the smell of cooking rice and soup.
" Shinji?" She mummbles.
Shinji smiles sweetly at her.
" Guten Morgen, Asuka." He says. Asuka frowns and opens the fridge, pulling out a soda. She drinks it and sits down at the table.
" Pop?" He asks, raising an eyebrow.
" Caffiene, Baka." She murmers resting her chin on her palm leaning on the table top. Shinji sweatdrops and serves her a bowl of rice and Miso soup. She picks at it,and starts to eat it. Shinji sits down on the opposite end of the table and begins to eat his breakfast. They finish and walk to school together.
" Shinji, can I ask you a question?" Asuka asks, walking slowly with her bag behind her back, swinging gently. Shinji stares ahead of him as he walks and nods. " Well, who was that girl? You know, the one that came out of the entry plug with you. Misato told me about her." She says. Shinji glances at her and turns away. He shrugs.
" Just a girl." Shinji says blankly. Why would he tell Asuka about Yuzika? That wasn't going to happen.
" Whatever." Asuka increases her pace, and walks ahead of Shinji the rest of the way to school.

" Yuzika? Are you awake?" Maya quietly creeps into the room where she let Yuzika stay. Yuzika's eyelashes flutter as the beam of light awakens her from the hallway, and open slowly to see Maya." Sorry. But I need to wake you up for school." Maya smiles sweetly. Yuzika rolls out of the soft bed, with the old Aztec art bedspread and white fluffy pillows, was extremely hard to resist sleeping in the rest of the day.
Her bare feet slowly fall in contact with the floor and she is standing up right clothed in an oversized button-up shirt, and shorts. She smiles back at Maya, and casually walks twards her. Yuzika slowly, but sweetly hugs Maya, wrapping her arms around her back and hugging her comfortably tight.
" Maya." She says calmy, and sweetly smiling. Perplexed, Maya hugs her back, and they embrace untill Yuzika has to get ready for school with the help of Maya.

Asuka arrives at school with Shinji following.
" Good morning, Asuka." Hikari greets her with a smile. Asuka smiles back.
" Morning, Hikari." She says sweetly, forgetting all about Shinji. She takes her seat.
" Did you know we're getting a new student today, Asuka?" Hiakari asks, leaning against her desk. Asuka looks up from her seat, suprised. Her smile fades slowly.
" OH, really?" She asks, now frowning." This new student wouldn't have happened to come in yesterday would she?" Asuka asks. Hikari seems to nod her head to one side and think for a moment.
" I believe she did." Hikari says. " If not yesterday, earlier." She says,shrugging. Shinji overhears them and butts in the conversation for once in his life.
" Is the new student a male of female?" Shinji asks. " Just curious." He adds quickly before they get the wrong idea. Hikari smiles.
" Even I'm not sure, the teacher never told me that." She says. Asuka slumps her shoulders. " I guess we'll find out." Hikari adds.

" Katsuragi. You are in a heap. You really are. " Kaji says, watering his precious melons with a bright green hose. Misato is standing against the side of his home in dispair. " You convince everyone to keep the new 'Eva child', and now you, Misato, have no idea where or who she is staying with? Or let alone the fact that you have no idea who checked her out of the hospital. Katsuragi." Kaji murmers, smirking under the bright sun. Misato looks up, pissed. A vein protrudes slightly on her forhead. Kaji glances at her for a second, and continues to water the melons.
" Kaji, I do know who checked her out of the hospital. I checked the surveillance cameras." She murmers wiping the small beads of perspiration off her brow. " But I don't like it. Not one bit." Misato adds softly.
Kaji turns off the hose, and directs his attention twards her.
" Who is it?" He asks. Misato stares at the sky for a moment than back at Kaji.
" Maya." She murmers. Kaji raises his eyebrow and turns the hose back on, and waters once again.
" Well, this is a suprising lead of events isn't it, Katsuragi?" He asks, smirking again in the sun. Misato shakes her head.
" It keeps getting better." Misato continues. " Gendou Ikari somehow found out about her, the ' Eva child', and wants her to be an experimental pilot for the new Evangelion Unit." Misato says crossing her arms across her chest. " But what I don't understand is why Maya would have checked that girl out of the hospital, and took her. I'll haft to drive by there later." Misato murmers walking twards her car behind the garden. Kaji chuckles a bit.
" Good luck." He smiles and waves his hose. The corner of Misato's mouth upraises a tiny bit, and she climbs into her car, and starts it up. She turns the AC on high. This was going to be a long day. She sighs and goes past the speed limit, again.
