Disclaimer: I don't own Eva, Gainax and ADV do, I don't own any other
animes I just decide to throw in for a laugh. One such anime would be
RahXephon which is owned by Bones and ADV, the characters are used but
there is no major influence of the series, don't worry hardcore eva fans,
there won't be any Dolems and Angels attacking at once or anything. If
there are any characters that appear that don't seem to be from Eva or
RahXephon then I have thrown them in and they are mine, you can't have
them! (Without asking anyway) Oh there is a mention of a guy called Tom by
Rei later, don't worry this isn't some self-insertion he is just a name,
granted my name but hey he will never actually appear or anything. Now
then, on with the show.
Title : Evangelion – The New Testament
Chapter Title : 4 – The Hedgehog's Dilemma
Asuka stared at the woman that she had just walked into, she was sitting on her rump rubbing her lower back and complaining about the pain. Once Asuka stopped yelling at her, the girl just continued to pull herself together, it took her a second to think about what had just happened.
"Where have I heard that voice before?"
After looking at Asuka again she saw that the red head was completely blank, she was just staring at her and then she started staring back. The boy that had accompanied Asuka was looking between the two and even wondered if they were having a staring contest. When Asuka finally placed the hair, the eyes and face to a person in her memories she opened her mouth.
"Rei?"
The girl looked at her, blinked a few times and also took in the hair, eyes and face, she grew a small smile that quickly faded into a blank expression and then she stood up.
"Pilot Soryu, perhaps in future you would be better to look in the direction that you are walking in."
Asuka was about to collapse, Rei hadn't talked like that in ten years, but it wasn't like Asuka had even seen her in the last nine, it hadn't taken long for them to go their separate ways. The fact that Asuka was now balanced on her face was enough for Rei to giggle and pull the girl to her feet.
"Only joking with you Asuka-chan!"
"Who are you calling chan..."
The boy that Asuka was dragging finished picking up the various items of shopping that Asuka had done before she left her homeland, then turned to Rei and gave a sort of bow.
"Do you know Asuka?"
"Do I know her!? I have known her since we were fourteen and flat-chested!"
"I WAS NOT! I WAS WELL DEVELOPED FOR MY AGE!"
Asuka froze, as had every person in the immediate vasinity, Ayato was sweatdropping, Rei was frozen with her eyes closed and her tongue stuck out. Within a second the crowd had started moving again, most of the men who walked past gave Asuka the once over and smirked as they walked away. Asuka was breathing heavily, resisting the temptation to kill Rei, she was staring into her eyes when she realised something. Rei's blue yes that had been closer to Asuka's brightness when she first came out had now settled on a shade so close to Shinji's that they could be mistaken for brother and sister. She stared at Rei for a while longer before there was a sound over the tannoy.
"Attention – All passengers on the connecting flight to Japan - Tokyo 3 will be delayed as you are being transferred to the 5pm flight to Tokyo-3. Thank you."
Rei looked at her watch, then sighed while the boy whispered something to Asuka.
"Were you getting the flight to Tokyo..."
"Three! Er...yes I was...what about you?"
"That is our flight you are being transferred to, we'll probably be put on another then..."
"Oh and also those on the 5pm flight to Tokyo-3, your appointed transport has been changed to a Boeing 947. At the same time. Thank you."
"That is a plane with twice the space of a 747 so we'll be on the same flight...I suppose."
Asuka was being quite reserved about how she spoke, she wasn't sure why Rei was going to Tokyo-3, whether or not she was going for the anniversary. Rei looked at her and smiled.
"I guess so! Maybe you could stop being so rude and introduce us?"
Asuka looked at her like she was stupid and it took Rei to point her finger in the boy's direction for her to figure out what she was talking about.
"Oh him!? Rei, this is Ayato my friend."
"Friend?"
"Okay boyfriend. Ayato say hello!"
"Hello, Miss..."
"Ayanami, Rei Ayanami."
"Hello Miss Ayanami."
Ayato and Rei smiled at one another, Rei got a familiar vibe from the boy, like she knew him from somewhere, or he reminded her of someone. His hair was grey and his eyes were blue, it wasn't until Asuka hit him for dropping her shopping that Rei figured it out.
"He's like Shinji-kun..."
Time passed quickly while they waited for the plane, once they got on board Asuka insisted that Rei sat with her, so that they could reminise while Ayato would sit in her seat. Ayato sat on the back seat, he had just finished stuffing the bags of shopping in his overhead compartment when a couple of kids started fighting.
"Waya get off me!"
"Na na na na na!"
Ayato wondered how this could get any worse but he was saved by a boy who sat at the window, staring out of it blankly. He turned to face Ayato, and the children and he barely raised his voice.
"Look both of you calm down."
"Okay."
Ayato looked at him amazed, these kids seemed like devil children, the type that annoy you throughout the entire journey but this guy, their father he assumed, silenced them in a single sentence. The boy looked up at Ayato then quickly turned away again, Ayato thought that the man looked very familiar, his hair was brown but he had sunglasses on. He thought he would just sit quietly.
"So what have you been up to?"
Rei's attention changed from outside the window, some habits never die, she looked at Asuka and rubbed her eyes.
"Sorry?"
"What have you been doing with yourself?"
"Oh, well after you left I tried to stay in Tokyo-3 but it didn't really work out, I decided to try somewhere different. Misato got me transferred to NERV in London, England. I went to high school or sixth form as they call it there and learned English, Physics, Chemistry and Maths. I then went to University in the North of England, in a place called Durham."
"Oh cool, is it any good?"
"Well it was the university in the country for Physics for two years before the Second Impact, better than both Oxford and Cambridge!"
"Really? What about since?"
"Well Oxford and Cambridge are only a little above sea level so..."
"Ahhh, I get you."
"Yeah so I went there and got my masters in Physics."
"Oh cool, any boys?"
"Well there was this one, he is helping me with my PhD at the moment, we met when I first got there, he was a weird anime fan who wanted to learn Japanese. So hey I helped him with japanese, he helped me with english and we both worked together in the physics."
"Does he have a name?"
"Tom if you must know, but he had to stay behind and carry on our work, even though Misato said Rei and guest. Well what about you?"
"Me, nothing much..."
Asuka remembered that she spent the first two years in a series of mental institutions because of the trauma she had been through, especially after she had the great idea of visiting her mother's grave. But she wouldn't mention that, since then though she travelled the country, going to villages for about six months, not long enough to strike up any long- term friendship or relationship. Then she went to Berlin.
"Well I travelled a lot, trying to get my head straight, I ended up in Berlin a year or so back, there I met Ayato. He was working with NERV and I had decided to face one of my past demons, when we met we became friends and now, well, we're more than friends..."
"Oh good, I'm glad you're okay, I know the time right after third impact was pretty bad for all of us."
Asuka and Rei continued to talk for a while after that while Ayato just sat at the back of the plane, the two children had fallen asleep leaning against one another. One had grey hair like his but brown eyes, the girl had brown hair and brown eyes. They were about ten years old, Ayato smiled as he looked at the sleeping couple and although the man accompanying them seemed to be constantly in thought he hand stood up occasionally looking to the front. At one point he seemed to panic a little, when he looked and Ayato was sure he was looking in the direction of Rei and Asuka, it was hard to miss Asuka, her hair was up and the deep orange colour made her easy to spot. The pilot came over the radio before Ayato could speak.
"We will shortly be arriving in Tokyo-3 please fasten your seatbelts."
The man leant over his two children fastening the seat belt of the girl, Ayato looked over at him and then reached down to do the boy's. The man looked at him and when Ayato was finished without even waking the boy up, the man smiled.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome, that was a quick flight for going around the world though."
Ayato said, he had seen the man somewhere before, he needed to start up a conversation.
"Yes, the 1047 is space capable, that is what I was looking at out of the window. We go up and fly in space with no air resistance then descend without anyone even noticing the forces."
"Wow, you know a lot about it."
"Yeah...I have a friend who is into this sort of stuff."
The plane began to land and as the wheels touched the ground there was a thump and the man's sunglasses fell onto the ground. He undid his seat belt but couldn't reach his glasses, the two children were awake and playing.
"Hey can you two not do that now, pick up your stuff and if you are good I'll take you for ice cream."
"Ice-cream! Yay!"
They both chirped as they stopped fighting and collected together their books and pencils. Ayato was busy thinking about the shopping he would have to get down from the overhead compartment when there was a jump, the man banged his head and Ayato looked over. The man was definitely familiar, without his glasses Ayato could see that his eyes were the same colour as Rei's and his face was far too similar to Rei's to be a coincidence. So out of courtesy he asked.
"Oh, are you Rei's brother? I'm sorry she is sitting up there talking with my girlfriend."
The man's back straightened, when the door opened to get out the man picked up both children and pushed past Ayato.
"I'm sorry, we're in a hurry, come on Waya, Lilith."
They quickly made their way past Rei and Asuka, heading out towards the door, when the man got to the door he turned to see the girl he called Lilith standing staring at Rei. She was just staring at her, Rei was a little worried and Asuka seemed to recognise her.
"Can we help you little girl?"
"She looks like my daddy."
"What?"
The man dived back and grabbed the girl by the arm, and went to drag her off the plane.
"I'm sorry ladies, come on Lilith!"
There was a twitch in the man's eye as he said that and he quickly dragged the girl from the plane, he picked both children up and went into an all-out run when he got into the airport. It took Asuka and Rei a second for what had just happened to sink in.
"Look like daddy..."
"I'm sorry..."
"Lilith..."
Then they put everything together, the hair, the eyes and the apology (sad I know) the fact that the girl was called Lilith and the haste in which he fled. So at the same time they stood and banged their heads on the overhead compartment but still continued to shout.
"SHINJI!"
Author Note – What'ya think, I wanted them to see Shinji but not to see him if you get what I mean. They have been under the assumption that he was dead but now they have reason to believe that he is alive. Waya is a character I made up and his story will be explained later. As I said at the top, the name Tom used once, probably won't be used again, except in passing. NOT SELF-INSERTION! Will try and get on with the story soon, but I'm still setting the scene. Oh and this will probably be a 26 chapter story, keeping to the whole 26 episode thing that happens with most anime.
