PART OF CHAPTER SEVEN: RAIN
The next day, Shinji did his usual routine of getting up, fixing breakfast, getting ready for school, and studying a book. Although, something was different, he looked like he didn't get enough sleep.
"Man! It hasn't stopped raining since you and Asuka got back." Misato mumbled as she trudged over to the fridge and took out a beer. Misato had actually talked Gendo into letting her have her beer back. 'think you can take my beer away, do you?' Misato thought as she stuck her toungue out at the boy. Misato went and sat down near Shinji, and instead of gulping her beer, she only took regular swallows.
"Shinji, I need you to do something for me, lt. Ibuki needs some help with stuff today, so I need you to help her, at NERV." Misato said before taking another swallow of her beer.
"What about school?" Shinji asked as he set the book down on the coucharm.
"It's been cleared with school." Misato answered.
"Hai." Shinji said as he got up and went to change out of his school clothes and into the NERV tech uniform that Misato had given him. It was similiar to the one that lt. Ibuki wore, but this one was black with yellow trim, instead of the white with pink trim, or the kind with blue trim.
"This uniform let's the other techs know that you are one of the pilots, and not just another tech." Misato said as she watched him sit down on the couch.
"I understand, but I would like to know what excactly I will be helping lt. Ibuki with." Shinji said, looking at the rain sliding down the door of their balcony.
"You will be helping her input information into the MAGI supercomputers, and whatever else she needs help with." Misato continued.
"How do you people get up so early?" came a voice with a german accent, from the third room, then came a scantily clad girl out of the room. She had a shirt that barely covered her small cleavage, and nothing but underware on, on the bottom.
"My, are you going to wear that around Shinji?" Misato said, in a mock good girl attitude.
"Stuff it." came the reply.
"I will be on my way, Misato-san." Shinji said, as he got his keycard off of the table, and walked to the door.
"Do you want me to give you a ride?" Misato asked, going for her raincoat.
"No, I will be fine." came the answer followed by a shutting door.
"I still say he acts like a doll, so cold, no emotion at all. It's freaky." Asuka said, shivering.
"I don't know what's going on yet, but his father is doing something to him." Misato said under her breath. Over the next two weeks, Asuka had gotten settled in, and started harrassing Shinji, to the point that he nearly lost his temper.
On the day that he was to report to Commander Ikari, he had made a report of all the 'going ons' over the past two weeks. He was not pleased to see the reports. "Pilot Ikari, you are to report to this address after you get off today." Gendo said as he handed Shinji a piece of paper, with an address.
"Hai." came the response.
"You may return to assisting lt. Ibuki." Gendo said, waving him off.

"Well, what did he want?" Maya asked, as she and Shinji carried a bunch of files to the computer room to put them on the computer.
"Why do you ask?" Shinji asked, as an answer.
"Because, I'm curious, that's all." came the reply
"I can not tell you that." Shinji said as he slipped his NERV key card through the slot, and entered the room.
"I am only trying to start a conversation, you don't have to bite my head off." Maya said, getting a little aggravated. Shinji seemed to ignore her. "You know, I've noticed that you have taken to sempai, why is that?" Maya asked, still trying to strike up some small talk.
That seemed to hit a nerve in Shinji. "I...I don't...I don't know." Shinji whipered, suddenly looking out of breath, and then falling to the floor, shaking a little bit.
"OH,KAMI!" Maya screamed as she ran to the violently shaking boy.
"Something is counteracting the adam cells that we have with fused his body." Ritsuko-san said as she looked at the boy who had stopped convulsing, but was still in bad shape. "Shinji, we are going to perform another memory dump, just in case we have to...Revive you." Ritsuko-san said as she plugged the machine into to Shinji. "I will not make it." Shinji said as Ritsuko-san started the last memory dump for Shinji-I.
I thought that since I'm still in the middle of a bad case of writer's block, I would take the time to reply to the posts that I seem to have neglected.
Sougen-san : I really appreciate your praise, I'm not sure about the pairings as of yet, but who knows? I am honored to even be compared to Random1377.
Priest : I'll take the announcement thing into consideration, I know how aggravating it can get to think there's another chapter and it's an announcement.
Josh Maxwell : There ARE very few good R/S stories out there aren't there? Well I'm not sure about the pairings as of yet, and if there are any innuendos in the story already, it can be explained as non-understanding of their/his/her emotions.
Xardion : I thank you for your sympathy, but mistakes happen, and I made one. Oh well, live and learn, huh?
???????????? : Oh well, can't be perfect all the time! Lol
Phoenix : I appreciate your review, and hope you keep reading, when I can get another chapter out.
Scsim : I haven't really thought about who Rei's mother is(have to check over notes later to make sure though) but the pairing would work, although as I said to the others the pairings are as of yet undecided. I might take a poll to see what the ppl think.
Daniel : thanks for you words of confidence(you know, there's only so many ways you can say the same thing different ways). I'm thinking about a poll, and I have taken your suggestion to heart in the later chapters in the story, and am about to revise the early chapters.
Zentrodie : Considering so few ppl use it, yeah it is unique. Another unique take on this type is Professor A. Pendragon's story "Neon Exodus Evangelion"
Sinnatious : I wouldn't do something like that, would I? (whistle's innocently) lol. I might, if it helps the story's plot some.Besides, this is NGE we're talking about, it's all about death and rebirth and such. I think. Maybe. Thanks for the review!
Dennisud : Yeah I see what you're talking about. I may have to revamp some chapters because of that, or like I said above; downplay it on the grounds of their lack of understanding of emotions. Thanks for reminding me about Assuka's attitude (heh, heh, I made a funny).
Kale : see aove on the pairings, heheh, I might just make them room mates, or something.
Hyperion : True, it wouldn't really be incest. I hadn't really thought that far ahead yet, but that's always a good idea.
Damerei A : Thanks for the comment, and your write, most ppl don't really think about alternate reality fics like this often.
JD : thanks for the review, I'll try to keep up the good work. Although it's slow going.
Raziel The Damned : I really appreciate the praise, even though you seem to have dropped off the map.
Thanks for all the reviews, to everybody that reviewed.
I'm sorry about not updating in a long time, but well, you know how life and writers block are.
Here's a Poll: Which pairing would you like to see?
Rei / Shinji
Asuka / Shinji
Maya / Shinji
Ritsuko / Shinji
Misato / Shinji
