Today I woke up with a major hangover. Ugh, updates will slow down a bit. I
also noticed how dreadful the last two chapters were. I need to re-think
some stuff. Anyway, forget what I said would be happening at the end of the
last chapter. It was more a joke then anything else.
Hey Dennisud, it's nice to see some reviews from you man. You've written a few good stories yourself.
And now, back to the story:
-Chapter 7-
---
"Harmonics are all stable." Maya informed Ritsuko.
"So, how are the kids doing?" Misato asked her.
"Well, these sync ratios are the highest they've ever been." Maya replied.
"Really?" Misato asked in surprise.
Ritsuko decided to tease Misato for a bit.
"Well, I think it might be tied up with the rumours I've been hearing." She said as she grinned at her old time friend. "Maybe Shinji and Asuka finally let loose on some tension that's been building up."
"Shut up!" Misato yelled at the blond haired doctor. "I want to hear no more of it!"
Everyone in the control room laughed at the two women.
"Ritsuko, could you step out for a moment." Misato asked sweetly. "I need to talk to you about something."
Both women stepped out and left the rest of the bridge bunnies alone.
"What do you think they're talking about?" Makoto asked one of his two associates.
Shigero just shrugged. Maya didn't make an effort to answer.
---
Both women now stood in one of NERV's many corridors.
"What do you want Misato?" Ritsuko asked the purple haired woman.
"Listen." She began. "I want you to run a physical on Asuka."
"So the rumours are true!" Ritsuko exclaimed in surprise.
Misato's expression fell a bit. "I don't know what to think."
"Don't worry about it." Ritsuko told. "Shinji's a responsible boy."
"I hope." The Major replied stoically. "Just do what I asked."
"No problem. They've got a physical coming up anyway." The Doctor replied with a smile. After that, both women went back in to the control room.
---
The techs turned around to see Misato and Ritsuko coming back in to the room. The Doctor went straight to one of the mikes and spoke in to it.
"Okay guys, you can get out now. The test is finished."
---
Misato was driving Asuka and Shinji back home. Although the sync tests had taken a lot less time then she had originally anticipated, she decided to let them have the rest of the day free.
"So, we're off the hook?" Asuka broke the silence with this hopeful question.
"I didn't say that." Misato replied. "I simply haven't thought of a suitable punishment for you two yet."
Shinji was sitting in the front seat silently but thought that Misato wasn't being fair. He hadn't done anything! However, if Asuka was going to get punished, he wasn't going to let her bear it alone.
The boy was startled when a hand from behind reached out and started stroking his hair. He turned his face slightly and saw Asuka smiling at him. He could do nothing other then return the smile.
Misato smiled as well. She didn't agree on their new relationship, but she had to admit it was rather cute.

Deep within central dogma, a select few scientists supervised by Doctor Akagi were hard at work investigating the small probe that had crashed earlier that week.
"This is amazing." She said in disbelief.
"What is amazing Doctor?" Ritsuko turned around and came face to face with Gendo Ikari.
"This." She pointed to a section of the small sphere that had been opened by the technicians. "The energy source matches that of-"
"-The Angels." Ikari finished for her.
Ritsuko nodded. "That's right. It is a fully functional non-bio S2 engine."
"Amazing." Another voice echoed behind them.
"Professor, what do you make of this?" Gendo asked as he turned to the older man.
"Can we use this to our advantage?" Fuyutsuki asked the blond woman.
"I believe it is possible we can adapt this to our technology, but-" She trailed off for a second.
"But what, Doctor?" Gendo asked her, his short patience wavering.
"Something was in there." She told them in a quiet voice. "And we can be sure it's going to come back."
Fuyutsuki was taken aback by this revelation; Gendo on the other hand remained impassive.

It had been a few hours since Misato had dropped Shinji and Asuka off back at her apartment. The German girl was currently in the shower, which gave Shinji some time to himself.
He was sitting on the living room couch quietly doing his homework when he heard the bathroom door open, meaning that Asuka had finished showering. What surprised him was the fact that she casually walked in to the living room with only a towel draped around her body. When she saw Shinji she smiled and walked towards him.
"Shouldn't you get dressed, Asuka?" He offered weekly as she sat down next to him. Steam radiating from her wet body.
"Maybe later." She answered with a smile.
'Maybe?' Shinji thought to himself slightly unnerved by what she said.
He tried to get back to doing his homework, but soon a shadow started blocking out the light. He looked up and saw that Asuka had moved from her original seat and was now looming dangerously close over him.
"A-Asuka?"
"Shinji." She whispered seductively.
"Um, what are you doing?" He asked meekly.
She didn't answer him, but instead started moving closer to him. Her wet strands of hair were brushing against his face, causing him to blush.
She moved ever closer, so close in fact that he could smell the sweet sent of her shampoo and body lotion. The poor boy was close to fainting again, but just before he did the doorbell rang and he jumped up from under her.
'Saved by the bell!' He thought gratefully as he rushed to the front door.
When he opened it he saw Hikari standing on the other side.
"Hello Shinji." She said.
"Hi, Hikari." He greeted her back. "What brings you here?"
"I wanted to talk to Asuka." She told him.
"Okay." He moved aside. "You can come in."
Her and Shinji walked back in to living room to find that Asuka wasn't there.
"She's probably putting on some clothes." He said after a while.
Shinji noticed the funny look Hikari was giving and quickly said: "She just came out the shower! That's what I meant!" He finished the last part blushing brightly.

On the other side of town, Rei sat quietly in her apartment, completing several homework assignments for school.
As she wrote the answer to a question down, she suddenly felt a presence behind her and turned around to see who it was. To her surprise, she had once again come face to shadow with 'The bringer of Love.'
"Hi!" He said cheerfully.
Rei didn't answer for a moment.
"Why have you come here?" She enquired.
"I wanted to talk to you."
-To be continued-
---
Why has Cupid visited Rei? What punishment will Misato think of, and what evil Plan is Gendo Plotting?
Find out the answers to those questions in the next chapter!
I would like to thank my reviewers. They give me the moral boost I need to write this story. Thanks guys.
Later!
