I don't own NGE or RK.
Sorry for the delay but I was having a minor fit of depression so I decided to watch some RK and NGE to get my self out of it. Unfortunately, I watched all 6 Kenshin OVAs and End of Eva all in a row. Needless to say, my depression did not get better. Anyway, I'm glad that's over with. You'll be happy to know the first warrior makes an appearance. And those of you who were worried about Rei being Tomoe don't fret Rei is Kaoru. As for the time line, it has been a few months after Pez-dispenser has been killed but EoE hasn't happened yet.
Now on with the story!
Rei woke that morning with a start finding her bed lacking in warmth. A cold glair scanned the room for any sign on Shinji. Finding nothing, even the Sakabato was gone; she placed her bag by the door and proceeded to Shinji's room. She knocked on the door and waited for a response. Shinji opened the door and was very surprised to see Rei and her eyebrow was twitching.
"Oro?"
"I woke up and you were not there." Rei' voice held no emotion but her eyebrow continued to twitch.
Shinji scratched the back of his head nervously, "Um... I went to pack my things I was hoping to get back before you got up."
Rei placed her hand on Shinji's cheek, "Don't let it happen again." Satisfied with this Rei turned and left.
Touji and Kensuke blinked breaking the trances they were in.
"Shinji, what the hell just happened?"
Kensuke answered before Shinji could, "I think Ayanami just showed emotion."
"I saw that! I'm talking about the 'I woke up and you were not there' part."
"Um..."
"It sounds like Shinji got lucky."
"Um..."
"It's ok Shinji you can't keep it from us."
Shinji hung his head in defeat and finished packing his bags. Shinji along with Touji and Kensuke took their luggage down to the lobby ready to put it in the bus. Shinji was dressed in his school uniform as not to upset Sensei again, however he held the long cardboard box that contained his newly acquired sword and cloths close. Shinji sat next to Rei on the bus back to Tokyo-3. Rei looked out the window her mind drifting. Shinji fell asleep a few minuets into the journey due to the slow pace of the bus. Shinji's unconscious form slid to the side towards Rei. Rei looked at Shinji's head that now occupied her shoulder using it as a pillow.
'Shinji looks at peace I will not disturbed him.'
Rei felt a slow pull in the back of her mind forcing her into sleep. This was no normal sleep, however, it was filled with images and flashes of a man. This man was tall and lean. His brown hair brown hair seemed to defy gravity by sticking out in all directions. His cloths were simple white pants and an open white top that had the symbol for 'bad' on the back. There was one final image but it was different it was not of the man but of Asuka. Rei and Shinji both woke at the same time only to be blinded by the light off of a camcorder.
"It's about time you two woke up we are almost at the school."
"Touji! You disturbed the happy couple!"
Shinji and Rei' faces gained several shades of red.
"Shinji during my sleep a moment ago I saw... images."
"You had a dream Rei. Are you telling me that you've never had a dream before?"
"Yes I have never had a dream before."
"Tell me, what did you dream about?"
"Well there were flashes of a tall man. I don't know who he is but the final image was of Pilot Soryu."
"Strange I had a similar dream. Did the man have spiky brown hair?"
"Yes."
"And the symbol for 'bad' on his back?"
"Yes are you suggesting that we had the same dream?"
"I think that we did. I wonder what it could mean."
"Perhaps it means that we have some kind of connection, perhaps using our AT fields."
"I don't know. I thought that only the Angels and the Evas could use an AT field."
"According to the seventeenth angel any human can do it."
Shinji's face visibly dropped at the mention of his former friend.
"I am sorry if I said something to upset you."
Shinji forced out a small smile and said, "You didn't say anything wrong Rei. It's just... just he was smiling when he asked me to... to..."
Surprising everyone, Rei pulled Shinji into a warm embrace. Touji and Kensuke's eyes bugged out of their skulls and their jaws dropped. Shinji buried his head in Rei' shoulder and started crying.
"It is alright, Shinji, I know that he was... your friend."
"Kensuke please tell me you got that on tape."
"Oh ya! Would you like to watch that again?"
Kensuke rewinds the disk and the pair watches the embrace again and another time just to be sure.
"Man if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes I wouldn't believe it."
"Just what are you two stooges babbling about?"
"Kensuke show the Class Rep the tape."
As Hikari watched the tape, her eyes got wide.
"That's not the half of it look how they spent most of the trip."
Kensuke rewound a little further to show the sleeping positions they were in.
"Awwww! That's so cute!"
"Whatever Class Rep. I think that it's creepy I mean this is Ayanami we are talking about."
"You're hopeless. Anyway I came to tell you that if you two weren't chatting so much you would have noticed that we are here already."
The couple in question was completely to the commotion they caused. Shinji had stopped crying around the time Hikari came over now they were just holding each other. Hikari didn't want to disturb them but the bus needed to get back to the station.
"Come on you two. Ikari and Ayanami get up NOW!"
Much to Hikari' disappointment nether of them responded. Unfortunately for Shinji, he was closer to Hikari that Rei and his ear was the closest part of him.
"OOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"I said we're here."
"Do not do that to Shinji again."
Hikari froze in shock and fear. Shock because she had defended Shinji. Fear because Rei had a stare that could rival Commander Ikari' and her eyebrow was twitching. Shinji got up from being dropped when Hikari froze, still a little swirly eyed.
"Rei let's go, besides you're scaring Hikari."
"Alright Shinji."
Shinji grabbed the box containing the Sakabato and proceeded off the bus followed closely by Rei. After they retrieved their luggage from the underside of the bus, the pair noticed a small blue car being driven very erratically. Shinji let out a heavy sigh knowing all to well who was driving. The car skidded and spun to a stop in a parking space.
"Hello Misato."
"Hi Shinji! How was your trip?"
"Fine Misato. It was fine."
"So what's in the box?"
Shinji tensed up and clutched the box tighter. He really didn't know how to explain the situation to Misato.
"It's a long story Misato."
"How about you tell me over dinner? How about you join us Rei?"
"That would be acceptable Major."
Shinji and Rei put their bags in the trunk of Misato's car. Shinji refused to put the box in the trunk instead he put it on the seat next to him while on the other side of him was Rei. When Rei went to go look out the window at the already passing scenery Shinji put his hand on her shoulder advising against it. She looked at him quizzically and tilted her head slightly.
"You aren't used to Misato's driving you'll get light headed if you look at the scenery at this speed."
Seeing no change in the slight expression she was giving him, he finally asked.
"Misato, How fast are we going?"
"I don't know Shinji my speedometer only goes to 200 kph and we passed that a while ago."
"Shinji this vehicle is not safe at these speeds."
Shinji just shrugged.
"Nether are most aircraft but Misato hasn't killed us yet."
"We're here!"
The blue car pulled up to a ramen stand and the three people went in, ordered, and sat down to eat.
"Are you going to tell me what's in the box now?"
Shinji thought for a moment and then pulled the clothes out of the box hoping to soften the blow of the sword.
"These are the cloths of a swordsmen. Wait what else is in that box?"
Reluctantly Shinji pulled out the item in question.
"Shinji?"
"Yes Misato?"
"I know that I've been telling you to learn how to defend yourself but a sword is a bit much don't ya think?"
"It's not like that Misato. This is a Sakabato a non-killing sword."
To prove his point Shinji drew the blade.
"Perhaps you might want to start at the beginning."
Shinji sheathed the sword and recounted the tale. Shinji not wanting to upset Misato more that necessary left out the part about sleeping together.
"So basically what your telling me is that seven warriors will come for your life and you with this sword is the only thing that can defeat them."
"Um ya I think that about it."
"So what happens after you defeat the warriors?"
"I don't know. I guess I'll find out when I defeat them."
"I still don't like it but it appears that I can't do anything about it. I guess I'm going to have to write up the papers so you can carry that thing legally. You said something about Rei being in danger also?"
"Yes, I believe that a few of the warriors will try to target Rei to get to me."
"Despite the danger I wish to remain near you Shinji."
"Well then it's settled! Rei is moving in with us!"
Shinji and Rei were both shocked at Misato's response to emanate danger. Suddenly two words clicked in his mind 'danger' and 'us'.
"Misato, what about Asuka?"
Misato's smile faltered.
"We went out and forgot about her didn't we?"
"Yep"
"Given Pilot Soryu' volatile nature I suggest you order her something to go."
"She's right but still. Shinji how good are you with that sword?"
"Misato!"
"Hay I'm only looking out for you. Ever sense she woke from that coma last month she has been unusually harsh on you."
"She is still recovering from the mind rape. Besides I think that being away from her for a while might have done some good."
"That what you think. Asuka pounded on your door every morning demanding breakfast. I tried to drag her away telling her you weren't there but she just wouldn't move or stop pounding. Finally, I put a Shinji mask on Pen- Pen and had him come out of your room and walk to the kitchen. It was the only way she would stop pounding."
"I could be wrong though."
Shinji stated to eat his food when he simply put the bowel down and sat strait up.
"Shinji..."
Before Rei could finish her question, a sake dish smashed against Shinji's head.
"ORO!"
Misato got up and went to the table behind Shinji where the dish came from.
"Hay get drunk if you want but don't throw things!"
The largest of the three men at the table stood up to face the purple haired woman.
"Women should stay out of the business of men!"
That statement pissed Misato off to no end; they obviously didn't know that she was one of the most powerful women in the world. As she reached for her gun, the large man backhanded her a good distance. Misato stumbled and would have fallen if it weren't for an arm that caught her. The figure that the arm belonged to stepped out of the shadows to reveal that it was...
"ASUKA?!"
Asuka was not dressed in her normal cloths she was wearing a white pair of pants and an open white shirt her entire torso was wrapped in white bandages and she had a red headband on. Rei and Shinji immediately recognized the cloths as the ones warn by the man in their dream.
"I dislike watching others attempt to pray on those who they think are weaker that themselves."
"I don't like your attitude little girl why don't we take this out side?"
Asuka, Rei, Shinji, Misato, and all three men walked out to an open courtyard. The Large man and Asuka stood on opposite sides of the courtyard the man who kept his right hand in his pocket.
"First I want to test your strength, give me your best shot right here."
Asuka taped her forehead just above her eyes. The man ran at her pulled his right hand out of his pocket and prepared punch Asuka. He appeared to have put on a ring on his middle finger but he turned his hand to revival that there was a dagger attached to the ring.
"Hay that's no fair! He had a hidden dagger!"
Misato prepared to shoot the man but Shinji put a hand on her arm stopping her.
"Daggers are meant to be hidden."
Piped up one of the other men. Time seemed to freeze as the dagger make contact with the spot on Asuka' forehead. After a second of nothing happening the man hollered in pain and dropped the dagger as his finger, wrist, and elbow bent at odd angles obviously broken.
"Is that the bet you got even with a dagger? Here I'll fight you with one finger."
Asuka flicked the man on his forehead and sent him flying back to land flat on his back.
"Man I sure picked a boring fight."
One of the other men started to pull out a gun but he stops when Shinji puts the hilt of his sword against the man's back.
"I have been patient with you so far but if you draw that I will show no mercy. Now pay your bill and leave."
The men paid and left in quiet a hurry. Asuka walked up to Shinji.
"Hay you seem pretty strong, ya wana fight?" (A/N: this is Sano's spirit talking not Asuka herself.)
Shinji put his hands up defensively.
"No thank you."
"Well if you ever want to take my offer for a fight I'll be at Hikari' house."
With that, Asuka walked off into the darkness.
"That was odd."
"Major I think that we all require rest."
"Come on Rei you can stay with us!"
"Rei can take my room and I'll sleep on the couch."
"That is unacceptable. You will sleep in your room with me."
"Oro?"
An evil grin crossed Misato's face.
"Well alright just don't make to much noise."
Shinji instantly reddened when Rei made her comment but with Misato's comment, he was approaching maroon. Misato chuckled as they left. The ride to the apartment was fairly uneventful so was the elevator ride up to the apartment. Once they got up to the apartment Misato gabbed a beer as Shinji looked around and saw, just as he thought, no one had bothered to clean sense he left.
"Shinji, I require rest now."
"Alright Rei I'll be in there in a minuet I want to take a shower first."
"Perhaps you miss understood me, I said 'now'."
"Yes Rei."
Misato laughed a little as she opened another beer. Shinji and Rei changed into their sleeping attire witch consisted of a pair of sweat pants for Shinji and an oversized T-shirt for Rei. When they got into bed Rei once again had her head on his chest. The feel of his bare skin caused her cheeks to redden a little. The pair slowly fell into a piece full slumber.
Sorry for the delay but I was having a minor fit of depression so I decided to watch some RK and NGE to get my self out of it. Unfortunately, I watched all 6 Kenshin OVAs and End of Eva all in a row.
