Merging of Souls and Swords ch.3
The life of a Teen
Rei had watched the whole ordeal at NERV and she had new emotions. She wanted to be near Shinji she wanted him all for her. She didn't understand her new feelings and the only person that helped her and not for a reason was the one and only Shinji Ikari or Third Child. She was going to visit him today at the hospital she couldn't stand it if he was hurt but she still didn't know why.
Asuka was going through something different yet similar. She did have some feelings for the young Ikari but she never realized that he might be gone and this new boy who looked a little like him was completely different. Not nice but rude and aggressive she still didn't know why she just stared at the new guy too. Sure he was stunning the cuteness of Shinji and the look of a real man was something that would awe any girl. Plus he was fit and could fight really well from what she saw. She didn't know whom to choose but she was going to visit the Ikari in the hospital.
Rei was now watching over a half naked Shinji Ikari he was different and yet the same. His body resembled the small boys but now had more muscle and defined bones. His dark brown hair now a couple shades lighter. She couldn't comprehend what was going through her mind right now. She wanted to be held by him feel his lips and hands. She just let these things flow through her mind and just stared imagining almost everything that she wanted she would have to ask about these feeling later. She was going to leave when Shinji opened his eyes and reached for his sword but stopped when he noticed it to be Rei.
"Ayanami what are you doing here?" Shinji asked in concern Ayanami never stopped by only if it was top priority.
"I came here to check if you were still alive." Rei answered in her monotone voice because that was her first reason.
"Now that I see that you are all right I shall leave." Rei responded and left the room only to come face to face with one of the people she was always angered by one Asuka Langley Soryu.
"What do you think your doing wonder girl!" She shouted into Rei's ear. Rei didn't flinch she just walked off pleased to see Ikari good and well. She walked off pondering why she had these feeling and the upcoming meeting between her and Ikari.
While back in the door way Asuka was staring at a half naked Shinji/Link. Her eyes were uncontrollable and she just roomed his body with her eyes. Muscles well defined and buff he was tall and handsome man she was probably blushing. She was a little aggravated with the handmade underwear covering one of the only parts she hadn't seen. It had been a whole 30 seconds when Shinji now with Link wide awake said.
"Asuka are you just going to sit here and stare at my half nude body or are you going to talk to me," Shinji kind of scared himself when he said that but Link kind of butted in there.
"You hentai why would anyone want to stare at you. I came to check on you because Misato was worried that you weren't at home." She screamed at him but Shinji knew she was lying.
She threw a slap at Shinji already assuming that it was going to make contact. In mid air she felt her hand stop. Right in front of her eyes was her hand enclosed in Shinji's. Shinji was really close to her his body making her feel warm and fuzzy. She was enjoying every moment. She was still surprised that Shinji had caught her hand but she was even more surprised by what he would do next.
Shinji slowly came closer to Asuka and was about 1 cm away from her. He then moved his head to her ears and said something that surprised both of them but not Link.
"You know that you should get out or do you want to stay and watch me change," Link now in more control nuzzled her neck for a brief second causing her to turn as red as her hair.
"NOW GET OUT AND YOU CALL ME A HENTAI!" Link screamed and turning Asuka around and pushing her out of the door sending her flying into the wall. Asuka was mad no not mad but in a rage she marched up to the now locked door and started to bang and kick it with all of her strength.
"YOU HENTAI GET OUT HERE AND FIGHT!" She screamed at the top of her lungs waking up all the patients in the hospital.
While in the room Shinji now back in control started a conversation with Link.
Link were you good with girls back in Hyrule because I would never be able to do that in my life. Man did you have a girlfriend, Shinji asked his other half wondering what other surprises were in store for him.
Shinji I was chased by girls because I saved their lives so I learned a lot but now I have to adapt to this time but your mind will help with my speech and tricks, Shinji hears a chuckle inside his head. He then reaches for his cell phone and starts dialing Misato.
"Hey Misato I need you to pick me up because Asuka is right outside the door and it seems like she is going to tear it down so could you pull up in front of the hospital ASAP?" Shinji asked.
"SHINJI YOUR AWAKE BUT THEY SAID THAT YOU WERE CONTAMINATED BY THE ANGEL AND YOU COULDN'T LEAVE. I will be there but watch out for section 2 agents they are patrolling the area ok. Plus I will get Asuka off you back." Misato was happy but wondered what she would do if Shinji was captured or something but she needed to get Asuka off his back. She dialed Asuka and got the reply of an angry 14-year-old girl during her period.
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT NOW MISATO!" she yelled into the cell still banging on the hospital door with several dents in it.
"Can you go get some milk and beer for me and drop it off at home as soon as possible?" Misato replied.
"FINE!!" Asuka stomped off to the market to get this over with.
Shinji/Link was collecting all his items you know I am not listing them now. He didn't have clothes but he took another piece of blanket and wrapped it around his left hand he was lucky he had his hand behind Asuka during that whole skirmish. Just when he was done he heard a crash and a sound of a tree falling and that was his signal. Shinji/Link smashed the window and it shattered.
Misato had just arrived and was worried she looked out the window to see an amazing sight. A window busted open and a figure jumped out a suicidal man or something. The man did several rolls in the air then opened his body full to slow down the fall he had some things strapped to his back. He then was coming closer and closer to the car. Misato was to stunned to do anything but watch. The figure then flipped and had his head directed toward the ground. He then stopped himself with his hands he was now doing a handstand in front of the car. He jumped into the car and yelled at Misato.
"MISATO MOVE THEY WILL COME ANY SECOND NOW MOVE!!!" The blonde haired boy yelled at her. He looked like Shinji yet he didn't his ears were slightly pointed not that much but it looked not natural. Still she was scared and started and took off.
Now after the ride home she kind of had some info on the person next to her. Next to her was Shinji Ikari one of her two young subordinates. He looked surprisingly like Shinji yet a little different but she just wanted a beer and fast. She was going to understand it later but now it didn't matter.
They arrived at the Katsuragi/Soryu/Ikari residence and proceeded to their floor. Shinji kind of got susshpithous when Misato kept on staring at him for no reason probably about the new way he looks. Shinji was getting annoyed by his long blonde hair it was shoulder length and he would have to get it cut but he didn't know how Link would like it. So he would have to deal with it.
Mean while Asuka was coming home from the market mad as all hell and ready to kick ass. She also saw some boys from her school but passed them off like all males perverted but something crossed her ears that got her thinking a little. She only heard a little bit but what she heard started her brain. Those boys really hate Shinji because he doesn't do anything in sports and he pilots Evangelion. Man do those boys have problems or what Shinji is spineless or was spineless but there going to get a kick out of what they got now.
While back in the apartment Shinji/Link was unpacking all of his stuff and dressing into a school uniform.
Um Shinji I really don't like these clothes for several reasons. They are first of all to tight second small and I prefer the color green it suits me. Plus I feel like I can hardly move in these so-called tunics. Link controlling one hand pulling at the white button up shirt.
Well these are small then I remember but we will go shopping or do you know what shopping is? Shinji asked with some humor in his voice. He really wondered if a kid from the medieval ages knew how to shop. Also we are going to have to go to school so we have to wear this everyday until we get back home.
Home I don't know where home is Shinji and I will have to find it. Link stated with sadness. He left Hyrule and waited for thousands of years for him to merge with Shinji and even then he only had one place he could call home and that was Kokiri Forest with his friends. He hardly had any but he enjoyed what he had.
Don't worry we will sort all this out if we are destined to save the world or destroy it we can settle a yearning of the soul. Shinji said while unpacking the make shift pack over his shoulder. He had set the shield, sword, bow and arrows down on the bed. His room was plain and these weapons were out of line supposedly. Finally Shinji pulled out one of the treasures of Link that could never be replaced. The Ocarina of Time a symbol of friendship a tool used to save the world and one of the pleasures of the Hero of Time. Shinji/Link lifted the ocarina up to his lips and started to play a song that lifted his spirit. A song of friendship the song from a friend Saria's Song.
Misato was wondering what was going on with Shinji he looked so different now. Plus you never got to see Shinji act casual while just dressed in crudely made underwear. She had already drunken 5 cans of beer when she felt a surge of energy come across her. She felt like running around laughing and playing likes a child. She heard a melody playing from Shinji's room. She pressed her ear up against the door and listened. She heard a melody from a flute like instrument and it lifted her spirit to the heavens.
Unable to take it she didn't now that Shinji played anything other then the cello but this was different. She flung the door open to see a Shinji/Link playing the blue ocarina. Illuminating from his left hand was a green triangle and it was glowing brighter and brighter.
Shinji and Link were both recalling memories from their own lives. Shinji was remembering his cello teacher and uncle. Link remembering Saria, Zelda, Malon, Navi, Tatl, and all his friends. They both recalled all their happy memories while playing the song from their souls. It wasn't sorrow like Shinji always played for his cello but pure joy of being able to live. When they finished Shinji/Link looked at the figure in the doorway.
Misato had smile on her face and a little trickle of drool down the side of her mouth. She was staring at a muscular figure in a tight white shirt and black pants. He was swaying to a melody that made her soul cry out in joy. Who wouldn't drool from a song of pure joy played by someone that was a knockout? Well this moment wasn't going to last long.
Asuka walked into to the apartment pissed she slammed the groceries on the table making a rather large crack. She then marched over to her room she saw a disturbing sight. Misato was on all fours staring into Shinji's room. And there was a growing pool of drool on the floor. She marched over and yelled right into Misato's ear.
"MISATO WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING SHIJI IS STILL IN THE FRICKIN HOSPITAL AND YOUR HEAR DROOLING AT SOMETHING IN HIS ROOM. BOTH OF YOU ARE SUCH HENTAIS!!!" Asuka screamed in the now half deaf Misato.
"No he isn't he is right here," Misato stated pointing at Shinji/Link in the room.
Asuka just stared at Shinji. While just a few minutes ago she was yelling at him in the hospital and here he is. How did he get here so fast? Plus how did he avoid all the security restricting almost everyone from the hospital.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE!" She screamed at him. Shinji just replied in silence.
"WHAT THE HELL ANSWER ME!" Asuka yelled again.
"Shut up I hear something coming." Shinji said in a whisper. He grabbed his weapons and prepared for combat. His ears twitched he had heard several cars pull up to the building and heard several men shout orders. This was bad he was lucky he had Link's hearing or else he would never hear them. Link we got guests lets go. Shinji thought feeling a jolt inside of him he knew that Link was ready.
"Misato grab you gun and keep Asuka safe personal is here to try to pick me up so stay safe." Shinji ordered to Misato. Misato grabbed Asuka and ran to her room and grabbed her handgun she had trained for this but wasn't ready to lose her synthetic family yet. She watched from the door of her room. She saw Shinji run off through the door and to the elevator. She slowly followed him.
Shinji knew what it was they were looking for him. He drew his sword ready to fight. He hated his father and he hated taking lives. Still he had to defend the world and change it from his fathers twisted fate. Sure now Shinji had as much experience as Link so he knew he was being used and drew all the info he could. He was going to fight and he was going to win. He called for all of his strength while running down the narrow hallway.
Ding. The elevators on the floor opened to reveal about 29-armed men with assault rifles. Misato was hiding behind the final turn to the elevator she had no idea where Shinji was. Then she heard gunfire.
Shinji/Link shot several arrows through the air. He was perched on the next floor up. He shot 5 arrows and killed five men. Drawing his sword he ran towards the on coming force. Dodging and sliding across the floor he had avoided all the bullets. He jump kicked one in the face forcing him to the ground. Slicing and lunging with his sword he avoided all on coming fire and killed half of the men. They were running for the elevator when Link took over. He charged at the fleeing army. He smashed some with his shield and slashed the rest with the Fairy sword. They were all down he had some blood splattered on him but it wasn't that much compared to the large spills of blood and bodies on the ground. He had explaining to do because he knew Asuka and Misato had watched the whole thing. He would have to make a couple trips.
HOLY FUCK!! Was all the females thought. They both just witnessed their roommate slaughter the mob of personal with out any effort. They were scared what had that angel done to their kind and gentle Shinji. Had it possessed him or what? Either way they were going to find out.
Shinji walked back to the apartment contemplating what he should say to everyone.
Link can you help me I don't know what to say? Shinji asked the exhausted Link.
Just tell them the truth and I will help you as much to my ability, Link replied dead exhausted but ready to help. As they walked down the corridor to the apartment they thought of what to say.
"Ok Shinji what the hell was that you act so different now maybe I shouldn't of taken you out of that hospital. They are going to come back and try it again and you might not be so lucky." Misato laid down her statement down. They were all sitting at the table Shinji on one end and Misato and Asuka on another. Probably because they were scared of the new Shinji. Shinji drew in a breath ready to tell them the truth.
"Misato I am not what I used to be but I am not alone. I have merged with another soul. That soul is a hero from another time. He helped me and is now lying dormant in my heart. He is the Hero of Time and we are here to change the outcome and save the world. We have the same objective and we do not care what sacrifices we must make but we will die to save the lives of the innocent. He is from the past and I am from the future. We have one goal to save the world and everyone on it. He wields the sword I wield the Evangelion. We both have souls and we both must become one to succeed. That is all I can tell you maybe I should let him tell you." Shinji said with no faltering.
"You crazy there is first of all no Hero of Time or whatever you said. Another is that your ultra violent and we should send you back to Nerv and get you examined. You could kill us both in no time and you don't know if you can fight this angel that has contaminated you." Asuka said not with her usual fiery tone.
Link you must explain I cannot. Please let them see you and believe you I have no power here. Shinji finished and waited. A surge of energy crossed over his body and to his left hand. The Triforce was coming back and was growing in light. The light grew and grew. Another light came from Shinji's head and the lights combined and started to make a figure on the center of the table. The figure was an outline of Link he was using most of his power to create a projection from inside Shinji's soul. He grew a little till he was about the size of a large action figure. He stood up glowing green.
"I am Link Hero of Time. I have waited for thousands of years to merge with the savior of this time. The goddesses that created this land have sent me to aid this person and help him. He has a shattered heart and we share the burdens of true hero's. To never be remembered and become myth and legend then nothing. True heroes never do it for glory they do it from their own souls and never get rewarded. They are like the scapegoat of the world. When they fault we have to fix carrying all that was lost to us. I have lost many things. My friends my love and so forth to save the world. Our souls are in one body and we are separate yet we are one. My body has merged with Shinji's yet our souls are fighting for dominance. When we become one we don't know what will happen. I can fight and I help those. That is all I can say for I have wasted most of my energy on the battle." With that the image of Link vanished and the light on Shinji's head and hand slowly dimmed to nothing.
"That is the explanation that we both have. I will go to Nerv as soon as I can, but I must rest." Shinji exhausted from the output he to had to give crawled to his room and fell asleep.
"Well that's a lot of information. I wonder if he is contaminated by a angel?" Asuka questioned the dazed Misato.
"From what I hear from Ritsuko the Angel would have caused a blue pattern telling us that Shinji was contaminated. There have been no sirens or alarms so it isn't but I do remember my father told me once before he died. There was once a young elf boy who always was teased. He then was then kicked out of the forest and rushed into the land. He went to all the domains of water fire and the forest. He was laughed at and ridiculed. He never stopped though. Then he went to the princes who had ordered him to do this. She had run away from the evil that followed her leaving back the royal family seal. An instrument the boy went to the temple of time and opened the door of time to have his childhood stolen from him. He was awoken seven years older when he could be named the Hero of Time. He embarked on the new adventure and collected the 7 sages from the land. He traveled to the forest, fire, water, to the land of the dead, spirit, and the light. He collected them and defeated the soul of evil possessing the land. He fought for a princess. When he won he was cast back into the past and all had forgot who he was. Still he was happy because he did the right thing. He was still laughed at and joked about but he was happy. I heard this as a bedtime story from my father. He told it to me everyday I was with him even though I hated it. It has some meaning yet he made sure I never forgot for some reason." Misato ended short of breath still she was recalling the few moments she had with her father. In the pole he told her that story every night and she didn't know why.
After the story was told everyone went off to bed pondering on what happened that day. Everyone pondered the possibilities in their heads of what would come of Shinji.
So Shinji were are we going now. Link now lost most of his gained knowledge he was back up to spirit and energy they were the now combined Shinji/Link. Link had no idea where they were going he just got done explaining all the facts to Asuka and Misato and then Shinji kicked and ran for it.
We are going to the mall to buy new cloths and get a haircut. I am thankful that I get paid for piloting Eva. I could even buy a house with all the money I have. Shinji pondered with Link overhearing.
Um Shinji what's a mall? Link completely stumped on shopping.
A market Link I will explain when we get there. Shinji kind of aggravated buy about 4 things. One was Link had no idea what some things were and it seemed like Link was acting like a normal teenage boy. Second is that his hair was long and it got in front of his eyes. Third his cloths were tight, as hell and he need new ones he put some holes in his old ones. Fourth that every female he passed seemed to look at him.
When they arrived at the mall Shinji went strait to the new haircut shop.
"So what do you want your hair to look like?" The cutter asked he was surprised at all this long blonde hair and he had a lot of ideas and he was hoping for one answer from his customer. He got it.
"Do whatever you like I just want it to be shorter." Shinji said.
After about a half an hour he was done he looked into the mirror to see his new hairstyle. His blonde locks were definitely shorter but his hair looked really cool in his opinion. (I don't want to describe what it looks like but take Squall's hairstyle from final fantast eight and you got it.)
"So do you like it?" The stylist asked very proud of his work.
"Yes here's the money." Shinji handed over the money and walked off to the clothing store. He wanted to buy something that was green and he wanted to buy some gloves to cover the faint outline of the Triforce on his hands. Link wasn't speaking up but he was reading what Shinji was thinking and started to notice that their souls were merging a good thing to. Plus he hated wearing white and black it was to out of character for him.
Shinji browsed through the t-shirts and pants and everything else. He grabbed a lot of clothes all bigger then before. He wasn't up to date at fashion and he almost never went out shopping. He left his sword and shield at the apartment so he didn't get weird glares only from girls. Shinji picked out several green t-shirts and some blue ones. He got some blue jeans and a baseball hat. He then went looking for gloves. Right now he was hauling a lot of cloths around. He looked at the gloves. He got a red pair of fingerless gloves. It was just a thin layer of cloth but it would do. He grabbed his stuff and paid. He was on his way home to change. Tomorrow was school and he was going to have to wear something different because he didn't fit his school uniform he was going to have to buy a new one at school.
Shinji arrived at home and found two notes. One was from Asuka saying that she was going to be at Hikari's and one from Misato that she would be at Nerv.
Shinji now alone but in a sleeveless forest green shirt the neck hole was in a triangular shape revealing down lower then normal to his chest. He then put on a normal blue jeans and a belt. He put on the red gloves and looked at himself in the mirror. His muscular frame showed especially because the shirt was tight and hugged the skin but still comfy. The gloves covered most of his hand they felt like the old pair that Link used to have.
So Link what do you think. Shinji asked the other soul.
I think we are going to get more looks from the girls Shinji. I was browsing through your memories to bring myself up to date and I found some things but I am still puzzled. Lets just do something to pass the time. Link was surprised Shinji looked surprising like Link. The only main difference is that the bones in his face were more defined and his eyes and hair were a little different. Still Shinji needed the build he could never defend himself.
So what about the kids at this school I don't understand the concept but I wonder what their reaction will be. It used to worry you about what they think. Link said he was saddened by how Shinji always was worried about what others thought of him. Still Shinji still had hope and Link could help him through lots of things.
Surprised I bet but I am going to wear the baseball cap to school I usually don't wear hats but I like covering up my hair for some reason. Shinji had an urge to put on the cap right now he didn't know why.
Shinji then picked up the blue ocarina and started to play all the songs that came to heart. He was enjoying every moment of it. He was browsing through Links memories while playing the songs. They were both soothed by the music and they played for hours on the balcony ledge.
Asuka really wasn't at Hikari's she was walking around thinking about this new Shinji. Also about this Link that she had seen. Before she knew it it was 9:00 at night and she rushed home spending the whole day walking.
She approached the apartment she heard a soft yet audible sound. It was like a flute but lower. She approached the door scared of what might be ahead but drawn to the music. She slowly approached the door and opened it. She saw a beautiful sight.
A figure looming on the balcony playing a small instrument in the moonlight. The light was reflecting off of his cloths giving them an eerie color but calming. The song called out to her soul and wanted to go closer. The sight was amazing his eyes closed and his body swaying to the music. His leg was hanging off the balcony. Then the song finished and Link knew that someone was watching him but didn't want to stop the song. He had placed the shield and sword by him and reached for it. Shinji looked up while Link controlled the hand he saw Asuka and Link stopped.
From Asuka point of view the figure was reaching for something then looked strait at her and stopped. Then it jumped off the side of the balcony and into the house. In the light was a handsome figure. Link's body, Shinji's face more defined and blonde hair and lighter eyes, and the haircut of Squall. (I just had to do it. I was so bored and right no I have to vent my bad ideas to get good ones).
"Asuka your back did you eat dinner?" Shinji asked only receiving a nod of no. He walked over to the kitchen and started to make dinner ready. Asuka was still staring at this new figure it seemed like Shinji had gone shopping. She didn't notice that there was a little trickle of drool on her face. She just stared for as long as she could.
Soon the door opened again and Misato walked in worried for Shinji. She was supposed to observe everything he did and collect info because she lived with him and this was a direct order. She passed the kitchen and saw a drooling Asuka. She had never ever seen this from Asuka and was wondering what was causing this.
"Asuka what are you looking at?" Misato asked. Asuka didn't speak just lifted up her finger and pointed.
Misato looked into the kitchen to see this guy who looked to be around 20. She was having thoughts that he was young but not too young. Also what was he doing in her house? He had on a green sleeveless shirt that showed his muscular shoulders and arms. She to was drooling. She was going to ask this guys name and number as soon as possible.
"Hey Misato welcome home." Shinji had heard the door open while cooking. He was cooking his traditional meal nothing special to avoid getting yelled at.
How the hell does he know my name? Misato thought she still hadn't seen his face but still she can be stumped at times.
Just then Shinji twirled around with the meals and Misato's jaw dropped and Asuka looked at her and smiled a grin from ear to ear.
"Ok sit down and lets eat." Shinji said putting the dishes down on the table. Everyone sat down and ate. Misato and Asuka kept on taking looks at Shinji when they thought he wasn't looking. He knew all along and was creeped out about it. He then went strait to bed and wondering what would happen at school.
Shinji what's wrong? Link asked getting this weird feeling from Shinji.
Well I wonder what that was all about. Shinji thought of dinner.
I will give you some words of advice. Don't worry about what others think of you. Just of what you think. That is enough you must love yourself before you love others. So just say that if people don't like you then they don't have to you have enough friends ok. Link was now ready for sleep.
The Next day
Shinji got dressed in a green colored shirt, normal blue jeans, and he put on his hat. The hat caused 4 locks of hair to show. 2 on each side revealing what Link looked like in the past time. He then took off for school early and put breakfast on the table for his roommates. He jogged around cause it was still around 6 in the morning. Link always got up early to train or something so that habit didn't leave. He got a good jog and went to school.
The gate was locked but Shinji didn't care he could jump over it. Sure it was about 10 feet tall but that didn't stop him. He ran faster and jumped clearing the top and landed on his feet. He then ran off for class the janitor saw this and rubbed his eyes and Shinji was gone. He thought that he was just imagining things and unlocked the gates.
Shinji arrived in class and sat in his seat ready for the boring lecture on 2nd impact. Still he would talk to Link but Link was still a little sleepy for some reason.
Hikari arrived first to class and was wondering where Shinji has been for the last month. She was scared but what ticked her off was when she walked in she realized she wasn't first. This new figure had a hat on and his head down so you couldn't see him. Also he wasn't in a school uniform and there wasn't supposed to be a new transfer student. Also he was sitting in Shinji's desk.
"WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!!" Hikari yelled at the stranger or now the half deaf Shinji.
"Hi Hikari haven't seen you in a while." Shinji said lifting his head up receiving a puzzled look from the class rep.
"Do I know you?" She asked she saw his face and he was you know. She was melting under his gaze but that was all she could let out. She had to keep her class rep face.
"O about that you think I have changed that much?" Shinji stood up realizing that before he merged with Link he was only about 1 inch taller then her. Now he could clearly see over her head.
"Who are you?" She was still puzzled. She did see something familiar in this guys face but she couldn't point it out.
"Its me Shinji." Shinji stated in aggravation.
"You mean Shinji Ikari no its not you. If it is prove it." Hikari wasn't buying the lie.
"You got a crush on Touji." Shinji stated with a chuckle.
"SHINJI IS THAT REALLY YOU?" She yelled pointing at him. She was amazed how someone could change that much over a month and a half. He grew a lot and he was buff he wasn't the scrawny Shinji or was he hiding it. No he couldn't be he couldn't shrink himself. Plus Asuka and Rei have been showing up for school but the school was within the restricted area of the angel so they had to postpone school for weeks.
"Yes Hikari it is me and could you stop yelling." Shinji rubbing his ear it hurt like all hell.
"How did." That's all Hikari could get out still amazed. They still had awhile before anyone would come to school.
"Well it's a long story but I will give you a small explanation. I trained for a month strait in sword fighting and exercise and I didn't get a day off. Sorry I haven't been to class. But they put me through a lot of tests and they did some other things but that's about it." Shinji came up with this explanation with Link and hoped they would believe it.
"But." Hikari just pointed at him stumped. He took of his hat to scratch his head. Also showing his dark blonde hairstyle instead of his old one.
"Did you dye your hair or something?" She asked wonder why Shinji had blonde hair now.
"Yep I thought it would make me look better." Shinji responded quickly.
"Ok I am going to set up class so just sit back down." Hikari still a little stunned but getting ready for class.
"Hikari could you not tell the other students I would like to surprise them?" Shinji asked with a smile. Hikari nodded wondering what others would think but still it was going to be funny.
Eventually everyone was in school wonder who this guy was sitting in Shinji's desk. Touji was going to punch his lights out but Hikari told him and he sat down. She told Kensuke to.
Eventually the Sensei came in and looked over the class he noticed someone out of place a man he addressed him.
"Sir are you lost or something?" The old sensei asked wondering whom this was.
"Sorry sensei but I was out it is me Shinji Ikari." Shinji announced receiving gasps from everyone in the room. He looked up to reveal his whole face but his hair still covered by the hat. He received some stares from the girl half of the room and some evil glares from the boys.
"Shinji you know the rules no hats in class." The sensei being half blind just was happy he got an answer.
Shinji took of his hat to show everyone his new hairstyle and sat down ready to sleep. He fell asleep he was getting a tired feeling from Link so he couldn't resist. He was receiving stares and glares from everyone yet he didn't care. He would because gym was next and do you know what he had swimming.
Shinji was shaken by Touji to get up. Touji heard from Hikari that Shinji went through training and experiments at Nerv so he would be different.
"Yo Shinji is that really you?" Touji asked curious about his friend.
"Yes Touji is class over." Shinji was getting up still groggy from his nap.
"Ok just was making sure I worry. We got swimming next. We are going to be late so come on." Touji took of to change. Shinji was a little worried that his swimsuit wouldn't fit.
He always brought a swimsuit and just wore it and stayed aside listening to his SDAT player cause he couldn't swim, but now he knew how to swim very well from Link's memories. He ran off to join the other boys.
Some of the boys were going to pull at prank on Shinji. They were glad he was gone. Some despised him but those were only a few about 6 guys. Some just did from peer pressure. Still the group was only about 10 guys. They were going to pull him under water and take his swimsuit. And the evil ones were going to hold him down under water till he almost drowns. They were planning this and they were ready when Shinji immerged from the changing room. The girls were looking up to the pool and taking looks at the guys. When Shinji walked out in a swimsuit everyone looked at him including Rei and Asuka they were both silent the whole day. For Rei that's nothing but Asuka now something up. All the girls drooled as they saw his muscles. He had a six-pack and defined shoulder muscles. You could see his buff biceps and triceps. Every girl stopped and looked at him. One got hit with the basketball in the face.
Shinji walked over to the pool and dived in. He cut through the water easily and was doing laps under water. He was swimming faster then Rei and Asuka had ever gone. Link was enjoying the water. They were merging more and more everyday. He felt everything Shinji felt and thought almost everything Shinji thought but they were not one yet. He still enjoyed swimming. He hated it when he had to swim around in the water temple or Jabba Jabba stomach but he enjoyed it when he got to do it for pleasure. He knew how to swim from being a Zora and he still had the gold scale. He was enjoying the feel of the water on his body and the cooling feeling he was going really fast and underwater. He then felt something was going to happen he opened his eyes to see 5 boys come at him from all directions. They were swimming pretty fast but not as fast as him. Shinji then popped out of the water still in a diving position he learned this from being a Zora and he dived back in behind one of the boys. Everyone was amazed at this and their jaws were almost touching the ground. The boys were aggravated.
Shinji slowed down and waited it was now obvious that they wouldn't stop. Some people caught onto it but they didn't do anything. He stood in the deep end of the pool ready for a fight and they were diving ready to attack. They were going to get a surprise.
Everyone saw it happen these boys were chasing Shinji but Shinji was to fast so they didn't worry. But this was scary Shinji stood in the deep end still underwater waiting. Then it happened a boy flew out of the pool. He was about 8 feet in the air when he started to descend again and splashed into the water. Then another and another for god's sake the pool was about 11 feet deep. Then one flew into a wall and one was swimming for dear life. Shinji was still under water kind of worried for his classmates but they had it coming. Shinji slowly walked on the bottom of the pool to the shallow end. He was going to have to explain a lot. The boys weren't knocked out but they learned a lesson don't fight him when he notices you. They would have to try again. Everyone awed as Shinji slowly emerged from the water. First his hair then his eyes and nose then mouth and down. He stepped out and went strait to the changing room.
