Chapter 8 :Just a Rainy Day

Gendo Ikari, the Supreme Commander of Nerv marched down the metallic corridors, on his way to his secluded chambers. As he walked he continued to edge at his thoughts that have been plaguing him.

(What is the connection between all these changes?) Gendo thinks while passing through a doorway. (This all began with the 13th angel and our recent addition to our pilot staff).

"Takeda, Hiroshi ..." mumbled Gendo.

(One must query his place in all the new events. Just one little thing such as a humans life presence can influence the outcome of the predicted scenario).

Gendo continues on contemplating his little problem, to which he has found no way of solving. What frustrated him even more was the fact that he always new what was going on. He finally made it to his gloomy office and sat down at his desk, in his usual position that could intimidate a wild beast.

A pure dead silence cloaked the office like a thick smog as not a speck of noise could be heard. The smallest of paperclips would've of made a echoing crash in the office.

(The committee isn't pleased and are over-reacting at this mishap, the old fools think there goal is in breach, naturally they want it fixed) Gendo thought (They think that everything is in their hands...well, shows what they know).

Gendo, sat and he continued to sit like a statue as he realised what he had just thought (And what can I say about holding the power, Seele and I are now joined by another wanting to take the scenario into their own hands) he considered (By every new incident, the plans slip further and further out of my hands and into another's).

"I will overcome my opposed so-called "allies" at any cost" Gendo stated.

Seeing as the dead end he had reached had a weak block, Gendo took advantage of and concocted a plan. Not an errorless and fully reliable plan, but still a plan.

(I will place Unit-01 under the rehabilitation freeze lockdown, as it was predetermined in my original scenario.) He schemed. (This will tell me what new and old plots are still in play and how I must adjust.)

Satisfied with his new plan, Gendo gazed at the mighty tree of Sephiroth that covered his floor.

"Seele and these diversions are just milestones which I will step on to achieve my ultimate goal." Gendo quietly preached to himself with a smirk as if all his problems have vanished into thin air.

---

Meanwhile back over at the Katsuragi apartment, the figure of Asuka Langely Sohryu was rustling around frantically on her blanket-less bed which now lay ruffled on the floor. Asuka was having a nightmare.

"Die with me Asuka!" a voice echoed in her dream as images and visions of her mother crowded her dream at increasing speeds.

"No mamma, I don't wanna die!" cried the Asuka in her dream.

All the images soon enough merged into one, which became a final silhouette of Asuka's mother hanging from the ceiling. Her death.

Asuka awoke from her dream covered in sweat and curled up into a ball upon her bed. "Mama, I'm so weak_" were the words that escaped out of her as she broke into sobs and soaked her pillow through with her tears.

Over in the room next to hers, Shinji awoke to the sound of Asuka's faint sobs. Shinji got out of his futon and wandered in the dark to the wall. "Is that Asuka?" he questioned himself as he placed his ear against the wall separating their rooms for his answer. To his surprise, he was right.

Shinji could feel many mixed emotions for Asuka and many solutions to help her but knew none of them would help. Shinji knew Asuka hated pity on any and all levels, so for the good of Asuka, Shinji thought of the incident occurring just now as a nightmare and moved to his bed to continue sleeping. He tried his best to ignore the faint sobs flowing through the walls, and at the end from all his efforts paid off when Shinji fell back asleep.

---

9:00 AM, Shinji's alarm clock rang with a buzz. Being the start of the weekend and with his Saturday classes cancelled, Shinji woke up slowly and changed into his usual choice of clothing. He left his room to the bathroom to brush his teeth and fix his ungroomed hair. Once Shinji finished cleaning himself up he left the bathroom and went towards the living room.

As it wasn't a school day, Shinji just relaxed on the couch and turned the TV on. There was nothing on, as usual, so he just placed the remote down on the couch and spread his body across the chair.

"These weekends... their so boring" sighed Shinji as he stared at the apartment ceiling. "I wonder what everyone is up to?"

Shinji just lay on the couch with one of his legs laying limp over the edge. His two other roommates still haven't woken yet and, knowing Misato, she won't be up for a while.

Then there was his other roommate, Asuka. Shinji sat up from his lying position to get a good look at her bedroom door.

(Asuka isn't up yet either, I hope she's alright) Shinji anxiously thought as he stared intently at Asuka's door.

From out of the blue, the door Shinji was staring at opened to reveal his roommate and fellow pilot, in a pair of casual jeans and a sweatshirt. As Asuka stepped out of her room, she immediately came eye to eye with Shinji.

For a brief second, the two confronted each other without words. Silence overcame all, and the two were locked in position facing each other. For her own reasons, Asuka broke her eye contact with the couch and its inhabitant and made her way into the kitchen.

(Asuka...) Shinji thought, (She still doesn't look or seem to be feeling better, even though she received good news just the other day).

Shinji couldn't take it anymore. Even after all the verbal and physical assaults he had managed to receive from her, Shinji still was... her friend. Gathering all the courage he could muster, Shinji dragged himself off of the couch and followed Asuka's path to the kitchen in search of her. (I have to help her) Shinji thought intensely as he moved on into the kitchen to find Asuka rummaging through the fridge.

Shinji slowly made his way over to the fridge door and mentally encouraged himself to not run away. "Asuka I..." trailed Shinji as Asuka bobbed her head up from inside the fridge at the sound of another, to once again meet his eyes.

Up close Shinji noticed the emptiness and lifeless emotion her war torn eyes projected. Seeing her blue orbs not bright and dull made him completely lose his bearings and the courage which he had managed to save up til now.

As the two were in a tight stare, Shinji felt himself back off and recoil from Asuka's piercing gaze, as seeing it was so unfamiliar to him. But at the last second Shinji pulled himself together: not completely, but still better than nothing.

"I wanted to know if you wanted me to cook you something?" Shinji nervously asked, not quite sure of what he was saying as his original plan to help Asuka was torn into pieces.

Shinji waited for a reply, but Asuka just simply stood up, closed the door to the fridge and began her journey past her roommate.

Once again Shinji was being ignored, as he stood facing forward while watching Asuka move around him in the corner of his eye. "No, I'm fine" was what Shinji heard just before he heard the front door closing. As Shinji realized Asuka had left the apartment, he let out his breathe which he had been subconsciously holding during the incident.

"I ran away again..." Shinji guiltily confessed. "When I could have helped I ran away again" he continued blaming himself.

With all the tension that had occurred, Shinji grabbed a can of juice from the fridge and plopped down onto his dinner table chair. He collapsed onto the table with his arms and head spread resting on the tabletop and his unopened can of juice in front of his face. Shinji gazed at the can of juice close up aimlessly pointing out some of the publicity mumbo jumbo.

Orange flavored... citrus... Glucose... Shinji babbled.

With nothing to do, and having nothing planned in advance Shinji fell right back to sleep upon the table surface.

---

"YEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAA"

The whoop of a certain Nerv Major echoed through out the apartment and finally reached the ears of the third child.

"Huh" Shinji groaned as he slowly unstuck himself from the kitchen table.

"Hehe... sorry, did I wake you" grinned Misato as she had received her desired affect.

"Oh, it's you Misato..." Shinji groggily stated as he sat himself upright the best he could and peered up, still half asleep, to find a Misato with beer in hand and in her pj's.

Seeing the sleep marks on Shinji's face and his gloomy form, Misato sat down on the chair opposite Shinji to interrogate him. "What's wrong Shinji ?"

Still half asleep, Shinji rubbed the sleep in his eye and tried to decipher what Misato had just asked. "What was that Misato?" he asked.

"I was just asking what's wrong sleepy head," Misato teasingly replied as she took another sip from her morning Yebisu.

"Nothing's wrong, Misato" Shinji lied.

"It looks like you've just been to hell and back in Unit 01," she joked.

This gained a quiet chuckle from Shinji, which cheered up Misato. "I'm just real bored Misato ... that's all," lied Shinji once again, since he hated concerning people.

Of course, living with Shinji for a while meant that Misato could easily read Shinji like a book and she knew there was something troubling him. "Okay then" Misato replied as she too played along. "Why don't you go do something with Rei?" Misato genuinely suggested with no hint of teasing.

After thinking about it, Shinji replied. "Um... I forgot that we had the day off of school," and before Misato replied he continued. "So that's why I also forgot to ask her if she wanted to do something today." explained Shinji, rather embarrassed by his stupidity.

After hearing Shinji's predicament, Misato thought of a way to help. "If ya want Shinji I could ring Nerv and find out what Rei is doing and ask her to go out with you... you could squeeze in lunch" volunteered Misato, acting as if she was cupid, and for better reasons such as to help her young charge.

"Okay that would be great Misato" Shinji happily thanked Misato before looking out the window to the weather. "Its looks like it's going to rain though... it's already drizzling" he stated

"Oh don't worry about it Shinji, it's just a little rain" reassured a smiling Misato. "It can't ruin your fun" she continued with a teasing grin.

Shinji thought it over thought, and soon reached the conclusion that Misato was right. "Okay Misato I'll go, can you find out where Rei is?"

"No problem, I'll just make the call"

Shinji watched Misato hop up from her chair and skip over to her room, which was unusual. (Misato sure is happy for me) Shinji sweat-dropped as he replayed the site of Misato skip away in his mind.

Shinji then turned his sights back onto the light grey clouds formed over the city and listened to the slight gentle tapping of the rain as it trickled onto the window glass.

---

(Man this weather is crap) complained Touji as he walked down the street with an umbrella spread above him. (Just when I thought I might be able to go out for a nice open-air lunch at a restaurant with Hikari).

Touji continued walking as he turned onto the street that Hikari lived on. (Our first date was spent in a shelter, the second was at the movies which was good), rambled Touji in his head, (And since Hikari organized our last date, I thought I could think up something nice).

"I can never catch a break," sighed Touji as he hung his head in defeat. "Oh well, gotta make the most of today since I did ask her to do something."

At last Touji arrived at the Hokari residence. Touji reached the doorway to his girlfriend's apartment, closed and placed his umbrella under his arm, and scanned himself over to make sure he was proper, wearing his new open button shirt over a blue undershirt with his school pants.Once finished his check up, Touji pressed the doorbell and waited anxiously.

`Ping Pong'

"Coming!" Hikari shouted towards the door as she too made some final check ups to her hair and clothes. Hikari grabbed her mini purse and headed towards the door.

On the other side of the door, Touji still waited anxiously, gazing aimlessly around, feeling stupid just standing at the door. Suddenly the door swung upon and revealed Hikari in a red miniskirt and white hooded sweatshirt. "Hi Touji!" Hikari happily greeted him and gave him a warm smile.

"Uh ... h..Hi!" Touji stammered, "You look very nice" he complemented, with an added smile.

"Thanks a lot, Touji," thanked Hikari, with a blush, "You look good yourself."

"Oh this... hehe," Touji said while rubbing the back of his head. "I wanted a change..." he continued trying to hide his full reason.

(Oh he dressed up just for me!!!), Hikari considered as she smiled teasingly. "Ok what have you got planned?" she enquired, changing the subject

"Well... I had a great time planned out but the weather didn't seem to agree with me," apologized Touji

"Yeah... the weather isn't very good is it?" stated Hikari as she peered from under her doorway to the sky.

"Don't worry bout it though, I fixed a new plan up" Touji triumphantly alleged.

Hikari gave a smile to her boyfriend and reached out to link arms at the elbows with him. " Great! Lead the way."

"Ok!" Touji replied energetically as he opened his blue umbrella and covered him and Hikari as they walked out into the blanket of drizzling rain.

---

Back over in the Katsuragi apartment kitchen, Shinji had laid himself back down headfirst onto the tabletop. (I wonder where Asuka went in this bad weather?) he thought, quite concerned of Asuka's whereabouts.

Shinji continued to squash himself on the table for a while longer, while waiting for Misato to return. "I tried but wimped out again... I hope she is ok" Shinji quietly whispered, feeling guilty.

"If your worried about Asuka, she's fine," guaranteed Misato, after eavesdropping on what she had overheard just as she came out of her room.

Hearing someone answer his non-rhetorical question, Shinji ripped himself from the tabletop once again to see Misato. "Oh... that's good" Shinji answered, quite relieved.

"I keep tabs on her too Shinji..." teased Misato before winking at Shinji.

"Misato..." replied Shinji while hiding his embarrassment .

After having a good ol' chuckle at her male charge, Misato sat back down opposite Shinji. "Nothing to be ashamed of Shinji," assured Misato.

"Y.y...yeah...ok" Shinji blubbered.

Misato shared a quick chuckle before realizing something "Oh whoops, I forgot, Rei is on the line for you" Misato apologized for her forgetfulness.

"Really?, Okay" exclaimed Shinji rather surprised, but stood up and picked up the phone receiver in the kitchen.

Shinji waited for Misato to put the phone down in her room, and once he heard the click he spoke up. "Hello Rei."

"Good afternoon, Shinji-kun," answered Rei in her usual tone, "What is it that you wish to talk to me about?" she inquired.

"Oh, I just wanted to ask you if you would like to go out and do something with me today," he said and continued after a pause. "Since our classes were cancelled."

"Yes, they were," Rei acknowledged, "But I am sad to say that I have been drafted into tasks down at Nerv headquarters," she regretfully informed.

"Oh, ok then that's ok Rei-chan," Shinji replied disappointed, but tried to keep a normal tone "We can do something another time."

"Yes, that would be appreciated, I would like to join you in another date some time soon," Rei said with a more upbeat tone, as if to cheer up Shinji.

"Great! well, I better let you go, I don't want to hold you up," concluded Shinji, "I will talk to you soon.

"Yes, that would be acceptable," Rei said, "Goodbye, Shinji-kun."

"Bye Rei-chan."

With a sound of Rei placing the receiver down, Shinji too hung up and put the phone back in its place and returned back to the kitchen table, to find Misato missing.

Misato soon emerged from her room with a questioning face directed at Shinji who was once again sitting on the table looking bored to death. "She busy Shinji?" she asked.

"Yeah she has stuff to do at Nerv headquarters," Shinji stated rather blandly. "I guess I have to hang out by myself, but I`m so bored," he complained.

"Hey I'm here!" jeered Misato, rather frustrated that Shinji had forgotten her.

Shinji looked up at the clock and sweat-dropped. "Misato you have to be at work in 15 minutes" Shinji plainly stated with a look of astonishment

"WHAAAAAAAA!!! Really?" Misato loudly questioned as she scrambled out of the kitchen to her room.

"That's Misato for you..." Shinji mumbled to himself as he watched his guardian scurry around the apartment trying to get herself ready.

After a quick few minutes Shinji stood at the door as Misato bolted past him full speed towards the apartment elevator, hair and Nerv uniform still a mess. "I'll be home late Shinji, you gotta fend for yourself, okay?" Misato yelled just before the elevator doors shut.

(I'm... all alone now ) Shinji mentally sighed. "Kensuke and Touji are both probably busy, so I guess just have to make the best of the day alone."

Shinji moved away from the doorway and made his way into the kitchen. He looked over his pots and pans and spied down at the items in the fridge and pantry. After a thorough rummage Shinji emerged from the kitchen empty handed. "I don't feel like cooking for myself," complained Shinji, "I might just eat out." Shinji said to himself as he paced over to his room to retrieve his abandoned SDAT.

(Ok where did I put it?) Shinji thought before chuckling (I've been spending my time with Rei and with all that's going on, I haven't used it in a good while)

Shinji checked his usual places he stored his prized possession and on his final spot he searched Shinji found his trusty music provider. He then left his room and grabbed a umbrella from the rack before exiting and locking the apartment.

---

Back over in the city center of Tokyo-3 Hikari and Touji walked down the street arm in arm with Touji covering them with his umbrella. "Were nearly there... I think" joked Touji as they continued down a couple more streets.

"Very funny Touji, you better know where your going," Hikari mockingly teased her boyfriend with her famous class rep expression and tone.

Touji just smiled at Hikari and continued to lead her down the street until he stopped them. "We're here!" he stated happily as they stood just outside the doorway of a nice little French Cafe.

"Wow... a French cafe!" exclaimed Hikari as she read the sign before beaming at her boyfriend with delight. "This is so nice, Touji!" she chirped as she embraced him.

"Hehe..." Touji nervously replied while returning the hug and rubbing the back of his head "I'm glad you like it."

"But isn't French food this fancy cost a bundle?" Hikari worriedly asked.

"Nah, don't worry, as I said, I planned it all out," Touji said with pride, "Dya wanna go in now so we don't have to stand out here in the rain?"

Hikari blushed. "Sorry just a little over-excited" she apologized.

"Don't worry, come on, ladies first." Touji said as he opened the cafe door for Hikari.

"Thanks Touji" stated Hikari, her blush reddening even more.

---

In the more poorer and run down part of Tokyo-3, Shinji walked down an alley leading to the ramen stall, he once dined at with Misato, Rei and Asuka after their near-suicide mission. Shinji soon reached the end of the alley and spotted the ramen stall a couple of meters away. Shinji advanced to the stall and joined the other customers.

"Hey kid, what can I get you?" the owner/cook asked Shinji when he sat down on a seat.

"Um...Can I order the Miso-ramen?" Shinji politely enquired while observing the menu stationed above him.

"Sure thing, it'll be ready in a few," the cook jabbered as he grabbed the utensils and ingredients and began his work.

---

Back over at the French cafe, Touji and Hikari were seated at the window of the fine cafe. The cafe itself was neat and luxurious, as if straight from France. Bright colors illuminated the room and there were glamorous crafts and paintings all around the main room. Everything seemed to be very expensive and delicate. After taking a moment to take in the scenery, the couple picked up their menus and browsed through the French Cuisine.

"Wow, this looks really delicious!" Hikari cheerfully exclaimed.

"Yeah its does," Touji replied as he too looked at the images of French food. (Man this is gonna strain my wallet...), he silently complained. His complaining soon passed as he saw the happiness plastered on Hikari's face.

(Oh well, it's my treat for Hikari), Touji reassured himself as he joyfully smiled at his over-excited girlfriend.

Touji stopped his musings as a waiter approached their table. "Good Afternoon Sir, Madam, what would I be able to get you for drinks?" he enquired.

Hikari gazed up from the menu and looked towards Touji. "What are you going to get Touji?" she asked. "I will get the same as you." Hikari stated, smiling.

"Ok then...can we get two double choc moccachino's" Touji said after taking another look at the menu.

"Certainly sir, I'll be right back with your drinks."

As the waiter went away, Hikari took a look at what Touji had just ordered for them in the menu. When she realized what is was and the price she nearly choked.

"Touji those two hot drinks cost 700 yen each !" Hikari stated in near shock.

After seeing Hikari in a state of shock, Touji laughed. "Yeah I figured that, oh well, it's gonna taste good though, especially since its cold today"

"But for just a hot drink" Hikari continued feeling rather guilty for being the reason of all this luxury and attention.

"Don't worry Hikari, its our date and you deserve the best" comforted Touji with a beaming smile.

"Oh Touji..." cooed Hikari as she tried to hide her blush with her hands.

---

Over at the ramen stall, which Shinji was currently being served at, Shinji was halfway through his miso-ramen. He was savouring as much of the moment as he could while enjoying the piping hot chow. This was one of the few select times where he didn't have to cook for himself.

(This is really good), Shinji complemented in his mind.

As Shinji finished off the noodles and began to drink the soup, his body fully warmed up and became oblivious to the cold chill outside.

After a good feed and warm up, Shinji paid the grateful cook and once again headed into the drizzle of rain with his umbrella over his head and his SDAT playing in his ears.

---

As Shinji finished his lunch, Hikari and Touji were just enjoying each other company while sipping at their expensive moccachino's at the cafe.

"This moccachino is so rich" Hikari stated while licking her lips.

Touji took a big chug from his cup "Yeah it's great," approved Touji, after downing the warm liquid and coming up with a creme moustache. When Hikari noticed it she giggled and tried to suppress her laughter.

"What's funny?" Touji asked with a questioning look to Hikari, whom was covering her mouth as she giggled.

A little freaked out at what Hikari was laughing about, Touji racked his brain's trying to find the source of his embarrassment to no avail: Touji couldn't find the damn source, so he gazed a pleading look over at Hikari who thought it about enough of laughing at her date.

"Touji you're..." Hikari said not completing her sentence as showing Touji would be a brighter idea so she scooped some of the creme of his face with her finger and pointed it out for him.

"Huh" grunted Touji as he took notice of the creme on Hikari`s finger and turned to the reflection in the window. It revealed himself with the monster of all moustaches, curly at the ends and all. "Hey check out my moustache!" Touji cheerfully joked as he too broke out into laughter.

---

Just higher than Tokyo-3, Shinji stood up at his favourite private place. It was situated just higher than the look out point and had such lush terrain and view it was truly spectacular. But since it was raining, everything was dulled and murky.

Shinji stood upright in his position with his SDAT playing his music into his ears while he enjoyed the feel of the cold weather. Shinji gazed out across the colourful city that shone through the grey of the day.

(Misato once said to me that this was the city I saved) Shinji reflected. (Me...).

Normally, he would use this place as a runaway shelter or hideaway but this time was different, it gave Shinji the chance to reflect on the good and the things needing improving.

Shinji continued standing like a statue, engrossed in his thoughts he didn't realize the increase in power of the rainfall and how much harder it was to keep his umbrella from tipping. Soon enough the umbrella was of no use, since the rain was jetting from all directions, so Shinji abandoned his umbrella to the ground.

As he watched the umbrella go limp he realized something "Hmph ... abandoning... Father" he mumbled.

Shinji stood for an unknown amount of time but soon came back to his senses. As he did he finally realized another figure standing in the rain below him on a lower part of the hill. The figure had no umbrella and was soaked through yet happy enough to stay out in the rain.

(Who would be out at a time like this?) Shinji mused, (besides me...) he added.

Curiosity got the better of him so Shinji moved his heavily soaked body down a couple of meters to get a better look at the figure.

---

As Shinji investigated, Hikari and Touji were enjoying their wait for their food they had ordered a while ago by the fire of the cafe. The couple were both seated wrapped in a warm hug in front of the fireplace, which they had to themselves as the cafe did not have many customers.

"The food sure takes long to get cooked here," Touji complained, turning back into stooge mode where his stomach does the talking.

Hikari could only smile and giggle at her boyfriend's bubbliness. "Think of it this way, the longer it takes, the better it will taste" Hikari said with a beaming smile destined for Touji.

"Y...y.y.eah" stuttered Touji as he witnessed the class rep's adoring smile.

"I'm really glad you took me here Touji... it's very romantic," whispered Hikari as she smile in content and tightened her grasp around Touji's waist and leaning on his shoulder.

"I'm glad you like it," Touji whispered back, placing his right arm around Hikari`s shoulders.

The two shared each other embrace and warmth (It's the perfect chance and timing) Hikari thought full of joy. Hikari started to initiate her move that she had wanted to do for a long time. Hikari slowly pulled herself up to Touji's height and slowly leaned in eyes open at first until she closed them in anticipation.

(What's she up to?) Touji thought quite puzzled as he watched Hikari slide up higher. (Hang on!, does she want to...) he mentally thought while physically his eyes were popping out. Hikari was coming in closer and closer, slowly but surely. (YES SHE DOES WANT TO KISS ME!) exclaimed Touji in his brain which was having a celebration party.

Touji let his body take over and initiated his side of the soon to be kiss. Slowly the two inched closer until the two lips made contact. Sparks were flying in both the teens heads.

(I'm kissing him!!!)

(I'm Kissing her!!!)

The two shared a long soft sweet kiss on the couch while the tunes of classical music and the heat of the fireplace made their first kiss perfect.

Until....

The angel alarm rang... loud, which brought the pair from their land of love, crashing back to earth.

"An angel?" Hikari puffed, as she arose from Touji out of breath and a red tinge smothering her cheeks.

"Oh great, it has to come terrorize during our date!!!" Touji angrily whined as he helped stand Hikari up. "I'm sorry our date had to be ruined." Touji apologized, even thought it clearly wasn't his fault.

"Touji, it not your fault" Hikari exclaimed while caressing her boyfriends cheek. "It wasn't ruined, I had a great time while it lasted and I got to kiss you" she continued bearing a soft face.

"Yeah?" Touji enquired.

"Yeah... in my view this date was perfect!, but had to be cut short." Hikari stated with another breathtaking smile

"Thanks, I had a great time with you as well" Touji confessed while becoming entranced by Hikari's deep brown eyes.

Touji's trance was broken by the yell of one of the waiters. "Sir, madam we must hurry to a shelter!" he shouted

The pair nodded in acknowledgement and Touji took hold of Hikari's hand and quickly lead her out of the cafe following the waiters and chefs out the staff exit.

---

Back over at the hill Shinji was just about close enough to get a good non rain-distorted picture of the person who at the moment shared his hill, when he heard it.

The sound he always dreads... the alarm signaling an angel.

Shinji stopped in his tracks for one moment to listen to see if it was the correct alarm, which it indeed was. But in that moment, the figure he was so close in seeing vanished.

(Where did the person go?), wondered Shinji, (must have ran to a shelter) he presumed as he too realized he had a job to do at hand so he slid the rest of the hill to the lookout point and made a mad dash to Nerv HQ.

A/N

Hey guys hope ya liked this chapter, once again informative in a way but like my last chapter I'm still building up to something. My currency conversion is not accurate and correct, but in my view 100 yen is like saying $1 in Japan. So that means that 700 yen would be a $7 drink, expensive. Confusing yes but just play along.

And for anyone who's got queries bout this doorbells do go 'Ping Pong' in Japan, well the majority do anyway but trust me I'm Japanese.

By the way does anyone remember Hiro ? lol

look out for the next chapter of Evangelic Possibilities coming soon ...
