Thanks for all your reviews and for those who are wondering I, Alexandra am writing this fic. As for the pairings I probably will stick to a S/R, but it may change if something (big eg Second Impact) convinces me to do otherwise. Oh and to RichardRahl I hope you won't sink THAT low just to get a S/A fic. And to Hououza, I might do a love triangle since I like those quite a lot too. Now let it roll!

The whole journey was filled with silence as the horses trotted, through light vegetation, towards a training ground Misato specifically chose for them. The journey may have been quiet, but it was sure colourful. Every single time Shinji or Rei caught sight of each other interesting colours appeared on their faces They were still embarrassed about getting busted early in the morning. Misato who noticed this stored this information into her 'blackmail' and 'teasing material' list in her mind, but for now she has to lossen them up if they were ever suppose to train with each other.

"So Rei, how was Shinji?" Misato shattered the silence and left Rei's mouth gapping open like a fish on dry land (just imagine Rei doing that in Evangelion). Shinji remained silent and concentrated at his saddle as a fierce blush conquered his face. 'I think I know why Yui loved teasing him now... he's so CUTE when he does that,' thought Misato.

"Don't worry Rei, we all knew you didn't do anything too... intimate," said Misato, while givng Rei a wink. "You guys have to lossen up if you wish to have any training, but for now we have lunch... I made it." Stopping in a meadow filled with red, yellow and even purple and pink flowers, Misato brought out a basket. If only Shinji and Rei knew about Misato's cooking...

Jaruni was in a make shift room, which was actually just a very large tent. A proper room couldn't be built since the builders just arrived an hour ago. Unlike most of the other officers, Jaruni's room/tent was not filled with weapons, black leather furniture and dark pots with green fire blazing out of them. If a normal person would enter this room their oppinion would be cozy. In the center of the room was a large bed with a thick grey blanket and the only weapons to decorate her tent was was her armor and sword... you couldn't be a little too careful. A large pole with burning wax was placed at all four corners of the tent, the incented candles gave the place a orange smell, unlike the smell outside which had an intoxicating smell of sweat and blood. A large mirror was by her bed, after all she was a girl. Sitting on her bed with her arms and legs folded the teenager meditated.

She was not the meditating sort of person, but lately she had been having dreams about a slim boy with bright blue eyes as deep as the see and as boundless as the sky filled with kindness and innocence. Curious about these dreams she went up to one of the wizards who recommened meditation. On her first day she saw a clearer picture of the mysterious boy and ever since then she meditated every night she could just to see him, once she almost felt as though she could touch him, but when she tried to grab him the figured disappeared into thin air. She would not admit it, but secertly she had a crush on the blue eyed boy (when I said a love triangle I bet many didn't see this coming ^_~).

The opening of her tent suddenly opened, revealing a darkly robed figure. Opening one eye she looked at the intruder with annoyance in her eye.

"Yes, what is it?" snapped the girl.

The figure cringed, but manged to form words to answer her, "We have broken the first seal." The mage left with a hurry hoping not to get on his master's bad side. 'Maybe when this is over I'll see him,' sighed the girl in her mind.

"Home sweet home, for three months," said Misato with a happy sigh. The chosen area was perfect for training. A grassy plain to the right, forest to the left, a rocky field around three miles up and all seperated by a stream. "Ah yes, I haven't been here since the war began. Now lets get dinner started." Upon hearing the words dinner, Rei went green and Shinji tried hard not to throw up.

"Err, Misato maybe I could make it, after all you did make lunch," said Shinji who was attempting to save his and Rei's life.

Misato cocked an eyebrow as she looked at him studing him under her gaze. "You sure arn't like your old man Shinji. Fine you can make dinner, I'll freshen up over there." Misato then gathered her belongings and walked towards a stream.

"I'll set up the tents," offered Rei. Rei walked closer to Shinji and whispered, "Thanks for saving my life from her cooking."

"My cooking is not that bad you love birds," shouted an indignant voice from the stream. Shinji and Rei blushed at their newest nick name.

A heavy heart beat echoed through an empty, dark and dusty chamber with stale air which have been sealed in for millanias (spelling?). It could feel the power binding him into this dark room weakening and wavering. It was a good thing the room was dark or else the wicked smile from the beast would have given someone a heart attack. ''My day shall come.'' After this comment, silence once again reigned the chamber... at least for now.

"This sish grat suff," commented Misato as she shoved more of Shinji's cooking into her mouth, then washing it down with a mug of beer. Rei nodded in agreement as she devoured Shinji's wonderful cooking. Shinji blushed at all the attention he was receiving.

Yui and Gendo was sitting on a table eating their dinner. "I feel sorry for Shinji and Rei. Just imagine having to eat Misato's cooking for three whole months," said Gendo. Both Gendo and Yui shivered at the thought.

"Yea, she is still the only one I know who can both burn one side of a steak, while the other half was frozen solid," added Yui.

Gendo finished his meal first and just before he got into his 'position', Yui smaked him in the head.

Gendo scowled, "What was that for?"

"Sorry honey, but every time you do that you look like a retard," answered Yui smiling lightly.

"No it doesn't," said Gendo while trying to look offended (while failing badly at it) ," It makes me look scary." Yui suddenly dropped on the floor, while clutching her sides laughing loudly.

"You thought *gasp* it made you look *snicker* scary!" laughed Yui as she rolled on the floor. Gendo rolled his eyes. Catching Gendo's gaze Yui stopped laughing and stood up wiping the tears from her eyes. "Sorry," said Yui and kissed Gendo. "By the way, you still haven't answered my question."

"What question?" asked Gendo forrowing his brow.

"You know...," said Yui as she looked at the ground sweeping the ground with one feet innocently. "Do I look pretty?" Yui then stopped and stared at Gendo with her eyes, making Gendo's mind running around in circles. One side of his brain told him to be a man, but the other side was telling him to run like a bat out of hell. Gendo did the next best thing and fainted. Yui was amused as her husband fell on the ground unconsious with a thud.

'I hope Shinji is more of a man than him, even though it does make them kind of cute,' thought Yui as she dragged Gendo's limp form out. 'What will the world become without me?' (okay guys think about this question)

Another sand bag fell down with a thump as a red long sword sliced cleanly through it. Asuka wiped the sweat of her brows and surveyed the damage. Red coloured sand (so they look like blood) was all over the court yard and not a single inch of it ws spared. 'Now on to some REAL opponent,' thought the red demon as she looked for a willing victim... I mean oppenent. After hearing about the return of Lord Ikari's son, who was supposed to be a top martial artist and swordsman, she could not wait to knock him out, but she was preparing... just in case. Pondering around she fixed her sight on a bunch of soldiers joking around the stable. 'Fresh meat,' thought Asuka as she approached them.

"Okay squirts, I know you guys can handle hand to hand combat and armed combat, so I would like to go directly to magical combat," said Misato as she rubbed her hands together. Turning around to face Rei, Misato said, "Okay Rei, lets see how well you do." Rei gulped and prepared for combat. They both got into a stance, standing there as the wind blowed around them making it look like a bizzare martial arts movie. On the outside Rei seemed to be standing still, but she was actually mumbling a spell hoping to catch Misato off guard. Misato grinned in her mind, she knew perfectly what she was going to do and she was more than prepared for it.

"Now!" shouted Rei. But before the sounds came out of mouth a blinding flash illuminated the plains blinding everyone, or so they thought. Rei barely dodged a blast of fire, which almost set Rei's robes on fire.

When Shinji recovered from the blinding light he saw a large patch of area turned into a field of glittering ice. 'Wow, Misato is not as dumb as she looks. She knew what would happen, so she blinded Rei before she completed the spell, ruining her aim,' thought Shinji as he stood in the side lines.

As if Misato read Shinji's mind, Misato called out, "Shinji! You are next." Misato was standing which her foot on Rei's back striking a victory pose.

"Misato get your foot off me," grumbled Rei.

"Opps sorry," appologised Misato. Rei dusted herself off and went to the side lines, but not before giving the 'look' to Misato and winking at Shinji.

"You know what to do right?"

"N-no! I don't even know how to use my magic," stammered Shinji in distress.

"Don't worry, I learned how to use my magic under pressure as well," said Misato with a wink as she prepared herself. Not knowing what to do Shinji took a defensive pose and awaited Misato's attack. Suddenly Misato rushed foward. Expecting a head on attack Shinji braced himself, but just before hitting Shinji, Misato turned a sharp right then launching a fiery ball of fire. Shinji hit the deck just before it impacted him, the ball made a sizable crater on the ground upon impact. Not wasting a minute Misato blinded Shinji with another ray of brilliant light. Almost immediatly Shinji felt a stabbing pain in his gut and slumped over. Shinji tried and tried, but something was not working, but after getting hit he felt as though something snapped in him, as if a door opened in his mind. Shinji opened his eyes and could see Misato standing in front of him, but her eyes were looking at something behind him. Turning around and ignoring the stabbing pain Shinji looked behind him. Destroying large boulders and columns of rock as though they were stick was a gigantic tornado. The size of the tornado could comfortably fit three normal tornados in it, and it blew with the strength of ten.

Misato was gaping stunned in her place, the same applied to Shinji and Rei. Summoning all her courage Misato shot a huge ball of fire around five metres in radius into the tornado, hoping to destroy it with sheer force. It did nothing to it... except turning it into a burning tornado.

"Run...," ordered Misato. Shinji and Rei wasted no time and followed Misato who was running for all her worth, but to no anvil (spelling?). They could feel the hot breath of the fire getting warmer and warmer as they ran through the rocker parts of the plains. "Make it stop!" Misato yelled at Shinji.

"What I'm I suppose to do?" Shinji shouted back.

"Giant tornados don't come out of nowhere, plus you are the only wind elemental around, so make it stop!" Misato shouted back.

"Err... stop?"

Suddenly as though nothing happened the winds died away and the clouds cleared leaving a perfect summer sky... if you call a trail of scorched land nothing that is.

"I think you need some training..." was all Misato could say, Rei just blinked and stared at Shinji.

"What?"
