"So you're the Fifth Child?" Asuka asked as she stood arms crossed staring down at

Kaworu or trying to. Kaworu didn't move an inch. Rei was standing beside Asuka while Shinji

was leaning against one of the walls.

"You must the Second child. You must be Rei. The First Child. Lastly the legendary

Third Child Shinji," Kaworu said as he pointed to each of them.

"It's a pleasure to meet you," Rei said as she bowed.

"It's my pleasure to able to meet such a beauty," Kaworu said as he bowed.

"Great. A playboy Child," Asuka muttered.

"I heard both you and the Third Child have rather large fan club," Kaworu said.

"Shut up or you'll eating through a straw," Asuka threaten as she held up her closed fist/

"Calm down Asuka," Shinji said as he put his hand on her shoulder. He stepped between

her and Kaworu.

"Nice to meet you," Shinji said as he held out his hand.

"It's an honor," Kaworu said as he shook Shinji's hand. Their eyes shifted for a second

before they went back to normal.

"You're one special kid," Kaworu said, "Angel slayer," "I got to be going," Shinji said as

he pulled away his hand. He turned around and headed out. Asuka snorted then followed Shinji

out. Rei started out.

"Hey Rei!" Kaworu yelled as he ran up to her, "Could you show me around the city? I'm

new here and don't know how to get around,"

[Shinji told me to try and get to know more people. This seems what they say a good

time to] Rei thought then nodded and headed out with Kaworu following behind.

************************************

"That Kaworu gives me the creeps," Asuka said as she followed Shinji.

"Yeah. Something's off about him," Shinji said as he sat down on a bench.

"That's the understatement of the year," Asuka said, "He looks like a male version of

Rei,"

"Whatever. Wonder about this junk later," Shinji said, "Anyways. What surprise

do you think the teacher said before is?"

"Some boring stuff I bet," Asuka said.

"Yeah. Maybe he'll talk about First Impact," Shinji joked.

"I bet he was still an old man when that happened," Asuka said as dropped down to the

bench. Shinji leaned back on the bench.

"Isn't that Rei?" Asuka asked as she saw blue. Shinji shot up from his sitting, watched Rei

pointed to stuff, and talked. Kaworu listened and nodded his head.

"Strange," Asuka said. Shinji let out a breath. Rei and Kaworu turned in their direction.

Kaworu and Shinji locked eyes for a second than broke away.

"We got half an hour to get to school," Shinji said as he stood up looking at his watch. He

headed off.

*******************************************

"Class. I told you a treat today. I know you all love my lecture but today we have a group

of champion martial artists here to demonstrate their arts and they may show you some things,"

The teacher said, "They called themselves Dragon Fangs. Proceed in an orderly fashion to the

gym. I'll be here correcting your homework,"

The class did when any class would do without a teacher. Once they were out of the

sight of the old guy they ran. Some to the gym and elsewhere. It was up to the Class Rep to hunt

and captured each and every one of them. Rei and Kaworu were the first in there. They gym

floor was covered in mats.

"Dragon Fang has four members last I knew," Rei said as she looked at three as they

practiced. "I heard the fourth member was called Raikiri," Kaworu said. "They took lightning

names, Rainoroi. Rai-sensei. Rai-Kage," Rei said, {The names mean Lightning

spell, Lightning teacher and lightning shadow}

"Sit down now!" Hikari yelled as the class came in. They took seats on the stands. Asuka

sat down beside Rei as Hikari sat down beside her for the view.

"Where's Mr. Ikari?" Hikari asked.

"I don't see him," Kaworu said.

"I see everyone's here! We'll start. My name is Daisuke or Rainoroi," Daisuke said

standing in front of everyone. There were two women at his sides.

"I'm Daisuke's better looking older sister. Name's Eri or Rai-Kage," Eri said. She stood a

bit taller than her brother. Her golden blonde hair reached the middle of her back.

"I'm the best martial artist of three of us. Name's Ruki. The Rai-Sensei We'll need some

people from the crowd for some of this stuff," Ruki said. The three showed their skills breaking

boards and doing patterns.

"Anyone likes to challenge us to a match?" Daisuke asked.

"Anyone? Guess not. Then we'll challenge some. I heard the Children were in this class.

We're willing to see what you got," Eri said.

"They ask for it," Asuka said as she jumped down from the stand.

"Who may you be?" Ruki asked.

"I'm the great Asuka Langley Sohryu," Asuka said, "I'm the second Child,"

"If you're so great than I'll be your opponent," Ruki said as she took a fighting stance.

"Don't you need padding?" One of the students asked.

"True but hey she's a Child. The savior of the world. Blah. Blah. Blah," Ruki said. She

charged to attack. Asuka took a strange stance.

"Ruki! Wait!" Daisuke yelled but it was too late as Asuka ducked under Ruki's punch.

Asuka up with one of her newly learned move. She slammed her fists into Ruki. One in her

stomach and the other upper cutting Ruki at the same time. Ruki dropped hard.

"She used Ruki's charge and her own speed. Ruki simply ran into that Asuka's attack. I

know this style of attack," Eri said.

"Hey Second Child. How do you know that attack?" Daisuke asked.

"A friend," Asuka said as she walked away. Someone started to laugh. He was leaning

against the side of the stands.

"I got an idea. Why don't I take all three of you on," He said.

"Who are you?" Eri asked.

"An old friend," Shinji said as he walked out. He was dressed in a black martial art

uniform with a claw mark crest.

"Oh brother. I don't believe this!" Daisuke yelled, "Wait. We graduated of 2 Uni,"

{He means Tokyo 2 University}

"Comes with the new job," Shinji said, "So what about that three on one match?"

"You got. Just one thing. We improved since last time," Daisuke said.

"Yeah. You said that a lot of times," Shinji said as he charged at the.

"What the?!" Daisuke yelled. Shinji would only counter attack. Daisuke tried to axe kick

but Shinji dodged and jump kicked Daisuke in the back of his head. Since of his weigh was in

still on his front leg and add in the kickDaisuke dropped face first into the mat hard.

"Two Prong attack!" Eri and Ruki yelled. They created this attack just for Shinji. They

charged at Shinji at the same time. Eri came tried to side kick him as Ruki tried to do a hard

roundhouse kick to his head. Shinji kicked his feet up and he was parallel to the two attacks. He

punched both of the gut. Shinji landed on down on Eri's leg pulled her down in a one leg spilt.

Shinji around in windmill hitting Eri with his feet. He pushed himself standing. Ruki was still

recovering from the punch.

"Seems like you improved too," Ruki coughed out holding her stomach with one arm.

"I didn't get the name Raikiri for nothing," Shinji said, "5, 4, 3, 2, 1," Ruki dropped.

"Are they ok?" Hikari asked.

"I sparred with bare knuckles a lot of times. They'll be fine in about five minutes," Shinji

said, "Now I need to change,"

********************************************

Asuka sat under the tree as she ate her lunch. Shinji was training with Daisuke and Ruki.

"Can I sit here?" Eri asked.

"It's a free country," Asuka said. Eri snorted then sat down against the tree.

"Shinji's pretty good looking isn't he?" Eri asked.

"Yeah so what?" Asuka asked.

"Back in Uni he was the most sorted after guy but not just for his good looks but his kind

personality," Eri said.

"We're just friends ok?" Asuka asked, "You're not the first to try and play matchmaker,"

"A friend who Shinji tried hard to find on the net. Shinji is a good hearted and strong. Better

watch yourself or you may fall for him like many," Eri said.

"I bet you did," Asuka joked.

"Yeah but I'm over it. I got a boyfriend anyways. Ruki fell for Shinji too but right now

Shinji is beating her boyfriend up," Eri said as Shinji threw Daisuke, "Watch it you follow in our

footsteps unless that's what you want,"

*******************************************************

"Why didn't you tell us you knew two fine babes?" Touji asked as they headed home.

Touji and Kensuke were walking with Shinji because they had a project to do. They heard some

honking. A jeep stopped on the street.

"Hey Shinji. You guys want a ride?" Eri asked. "Thanks man," Shinji said as he jumped

on, "Come on,"

"This is awesome," Touji said as he got on. Shinji pulled Kensuke up. He held out

his hand for Asuka. She looked at it for a second before she took his hand.

"Just want a ride. That's all," Asuka said as she sat down.

*******************************************************

"So this is your apartment?" Daisuke asked as they walked up to it. Shinji opened it and

walked in.

"Shinji? Asuka? Is that you?" Misato asked as she came in. She had a long night and just

woke up. All of the boys consist of Touji, Kensuke and Daisuke were staring. Ruki slapped

Daisuke on the back of his head. She wonders why she was still dating him. Shinji slapped both

Touji and Kensuke's heads.

"I don't have the pleasure of knowing you. You're?" Misato asked trying to be nice.

"I'm Eri. This is little bro Daisuke and his girlfriend Ruki," Eri said, "We're old buddies

of Shinji,"

"Anyways. Shinji. Asuka. I have to go to work," Misato said as she headed for her bedroom.

********************************************************

"Take this!" Asuka yelled as Nephtis slashed Daisuke's Inhert. "NO!" Daisuke yelled.

"You just lost to a 14 years genius. Why does that sound so familiar?" Eri joked.

"I'm next," Ruki said as she grabbed the controller. She chose Aumaan Anubis. She

proceeded to fight Asuka's Naked Jehuty.

"Why are you guys still here anyways?" Asuka asked. "No chance in hell we'll miss

Shinji's cooking. Good as a fancy chef and just the price," Daisuke joked.

"Here's an idea. I'll throw you out?" Shinji said from the kitchen.

"You owe us from the multiple times you beat us up" Eri said as Aumaan Anubis did a

burst attack.

"But look at you guys. You're walking punching bags!" Shinji yelled.

"Want me to use a staff. I was always better in weapons!" Ruki yelled.

"Good luck. I have a new teacher in weapons and I'm guessing someone is kicking

Anubis' butt," Shinji said as Eri screamed in defeated as Jehuty finished Anubis off with a final

slash.

"Dinner's up," Shinji yelled. The living room emptied faster a bolt of lightning.

************************************************************

The dinner went just fine. Shinji had prepared something more like a feast. Asuka got to

be good friends with Ruki and Eri. They went through her defense an instant. Asuka learn a lot

about Shinji. He placed 1st in his age group and 2nd to his teacher in the all ages. He was a

major in computer.

So surprise there. His computer had a new set of protection systems from several

firewalls to temporary freezing viruses. {I don't know the name of the virus. It freezes up the

computer}.They left saying they had to travel to America for appointments. Shinji headed into

his room and left Asuka alone with her thoughts.

************************************************************

"Thank you for taking me to dinner," Rei said as she bowed. She turned and walked into

her apartment.

"You're welcome!" Kaworu yelled as the door closed.

[What are you doing?] A Voice asked.

"It's none of your business what I do with my spare time," Kaworu said back as he

walked away.

[Getting close to the clone is not part of the plan] the voice said.

"The 'plan' has been messed for a time so what the problem with a few changes," Kaworu

said.

[The job was to gather information about the Third Child] The voice said.

"We been doing that," Kaworu said.

[Getting close to the First Child is distracting us from our purpose] The voice said

[Someone's here!] Kaworu turned to look a near by building but there was nothing. He

shrugged his shoulder and head away. Shinji let out a breath.

"He talks to himself," Shinji said.

"Not himself but another like me," The guardian said.

"Exorcist?" Shinji asked.

"Sorry but I can't get rid of him through death," Guardian said, "But the time of the battle

is far away,"

BA: This is my story and there will be changes in the story

Ghost-149548-Nice story, I look forward to see more, but I have an idea. How bout you make 2

chapters and send them to 2 different pre-reader. You could surprise your readers that way, it

just a thought, well can't wait to see you update.

BA: Here's the next chapter. I maybe do that idea later

China-boy-heh not bad not bad at all

plz update soon

BA: I guess this isn't bad considering I'm doing this out of my spare time

Knight's Shadow-Really good story.Please update soon.Your not going to kill Kaworu and maim

Touji are you?

BA: You actually said more than 6 words

Adyen-:P Hey, you only get those two (well, three) weapons for N. Jehuty, so unlimited sub

energy doesn't really mean a thing.

:chuckle: I'm half-betting that Shinji takes out a katana immediately and starts cutting Kaworu

up immediately. (Btw, you wrote 'The strange looked')

Can anyone say "Hate at first sight"?

BA: How did you guess?

mysterious voice in your head-fifth child? They haven't even offically chosen the fourth yet!

BA: There will be changes but some mix ups
