Destiny and Time
Chapter 4
*I wonder how Chron is doing... Hell, why do I wanna
know, who cares if he dies*
"SHINJI, get your FUCKING ASS TO UNIT 01"
"Go away Kensu, this isn't my time period anyways.
I already intervened a bit too much so just leave me
alone"
"THAT was the lamest excuse I've ever heard, for an
EVA pilot, your brain doesn't work too good"
"Whats the use, I say let me die in peace"
"WELL, SOME OF US DON'T WANNA DIE"
"...."
"SO GET YOUR ASS MOVING OR I'LL DRAG YOU IN MYSELF"
"...."
"THAT'S IT, YOUR COMING WITH ME LIKE IT OR NOT"
Kensu starts towards Shinji to attempt to drag him out
of his bed. But Shinji got up before he even taken a
step.
"I'll do it, not because of you, not because of Chron,
not even for the fate of human kind, just because I
done enough running and I'm tired..."
Spoken that, Shinji charged out of his room and head
towards the cages.
*******************************
The angel has already drilled Chron's EVA into a swiss
cheese when Shinji arrived.
".... target in sight"
"Good, the rifle Chron had should be around, find it and
then use it if you think you'll need it"
"...."
By this time, the angel has already taken notice of the
purple EVA standing in front of the fallen EVA, it
charged at him with his drills but Shinji dodge it easily.
"...."
Unit 01 picked up the rifle and started shooting at the
angel, only having wasted a whole clip of ammo that lain
on the ground after hitting the AT field.
"...."
*This is taking too long....*
Wielding the prog knife, Unit 01 charged towards the angel
while avoiding it's hands and thrust the knife towards it's
stomach region, but doing no damage.
"WHAT THE HELL"
Taking inititive, the angel starts to drill on the chest plate
of the EVA but is kicked away swiftly.
"I need a better weapon... what do I have to work with"
"We're sending you a prog axe just to hold it off then will try
to send to the 'BIG GUYS'"
"I've got the axe"
"Sir, five more minutes til the partical rifle is ready"
"Jirou, can you hold it off for five minutes??"
*Damn, it can finish ME off with that much time*
"Sure..."
Wielding the axe, Shinji wills his EVA to make another attack.
The attempt was countered with a painful drill in the leg.
"AARRGGGGHHHH, DAMNIT"
"Are you ok Jirou"
"I'll be ok Misato..."
"Misato??? Are you sure your ok Jirou, I'm Kensu"
"AARRGGGGHHHH"
Dizzy from all the pain, Shinji decide to fall back a bit before
attacking again, but the angel got hold of his idea and cut him
off from his retreat.
*Damn... looks like I have to finish it off right now or else i'm
toast*
The angel starts to dash towards Shinji and drills him in the leg
again..
"AAAAARRRRRRRR... EAT THIS"
The EVA charged towards the angel and starts slashing at it like
was in berserk mode and the angel kept stumbling backwards with
each blow.
"diediediediedieDieDieDieDIeDIeDIEDIEIDIEDIEDIE!!!"
With a final thrust with the butt of the axe, it shattered the core
and the angel lay all bloody and dead.
*******************************
The command room was silent as they watched Shinji and his EVA litterly
rip through the angel like it was butter with a hot axe.
"Th...That... was Shinji"
Realizing his mistake, Kensu looked around the room to see if anyone was
listening to him, luckly, everyone was too stunned to even notice if they
where dieing.
"Send the retreval teams out NOW and get Chron to the Hospital"
The room suddenly snapped into action when Kensu spoken his orders to them.
"Retrival teams have located the ejected plug of Pilot Chron and right now
getting Pilot Jirou out"
"Very good, is a medical team out there??"
"Yes sir."
"Good work people, that's one more angel down for the count"
*And one more llooonnnnggg debriefing waiting for me... damn*
*******************************
Shinji has finally reached the base and was greeted by Kensu.
"Heeyyy, you kicked ass out there, well you should know what comes after
all the 'fun' right??"
"Kensu, can we do the de-briefing later.. I'm really tired"
*That fight really took alot outta him didn't it.... but what really happened
to him out there, he was in a frenzy or something, like nothing matters
to him...*
"Ok then, we'll have the de-briefing in 2 hours, don't be late"
"...."
*Why is he suddenly so quiet....*
"Oh yeah, hows Chron doing..."
"Umm, I don't know yet... no reports yet"
"Ok...."
"Well, see ya in 2 hours"
But Shinji has already left....
*******************************
*I was just like Unit 01 when it went berserk out there... what the hell
happend to me*
"Hey Jirou, are you hurt"
*Am I really an monster like that, just rip through anything infront of
me like it was nothing*
"Are you ok...."
*Do I even have control over my anger...*
"JIROU"
Slowly regaining his awarness, he noticed a very concerned Kasumi beside
him.
"Hi, Kasumi..." Shinji dipped his head and walked towards his room
*I don't deserve her concern, I'm a monster, just like my father...*
"Don't walk away from me, please.. I didn't meant to scream at you at
school.. I-I-I just had a bad day..."
*I don't even deserve to live*
Please Shinji don't die
"Huh??" Shinji looked around to see how called him with his real name.
"Jirou.... I'm sorry"
"Kasumi.... no, don't apoligize.. I'm suppose to... I'M sorry"
Shinji.. come back
"Jirou.. come back.. don't ignore me again please..."
"I'm tired.. please let me sleep..."
"Jirou...."
Shinji....
*******************************
"Shinji... Shinji..... Come back.... SHINJI..."
"Wake up Asuka", Misato shook Asuka violently trying to wake Asuka up
from what seems to be a very bad dream, "WAKE UP"
"AAAHHHHH", Asuka shot straight up in cold sweat
"It's ok Asuka.... it's just a dream"
"Wha... What did I say...." Asuka asked her guardian
"Umm... you were shouting Shinji's name and calling for him. What was
your dream about, mind if you told me"
"..... I rather not....."
*Shinji in a room hanging himself...... just like mama.... telling me
to die with him....*
"Ok... if you need someone to talk to.. I'm here"
"Misato...."
"Yeah"
"If you tell this to Shinji when he get's back.... I'll personally get
my EVA to rip you to piece"
Smiling a bit Misato walked out of Asuka's room.
*At least she's back to her own self*
*******************************
"YES... de-briefing is over. SSoooo.. Jirou, wanna grab a bite"
"Sure.... but hows Chron", Shinji glanced around the crowded room.
"Well, the angel missed the entry plug and didn't even scratch Chron
physically, but with the condition his EVA is in, I don't think he
would be getting out soon.. but how about we just go out and get
something to eat"
"... sure... I don't have anything else to do"
"Good... let's go"
Kensu dragged Shinji out of the room towards the garage and heads for
Kensu's favorite resturant.
*******************************
"So tell me Shinji," Kensu said casually, "What happened out there"
"Didn't you hear all about it in the de-briefing"
"No I don't mean the angel or it's strengh and all that crap, I mean
what happen to YOU"
".... I guess I went berserk.... just like Unit 01"
"What do you mean?"
"Refering to..."
"The just like Unit 01 part.."
"Well when I first piloted Unit 01 at my time, Unit 01 went berserk
when I lost conciousness..."
"Yes yes yes.. I know about that part, I'm just asking what about this
time that made you THINK you went berserk just like Unit 01"
"I-I-I don't know..." Shinji stumbled with his words, "I j-just did.."
"Well I guess we shouldn't be talking about this out of duty, it always
brings the mood down a notch... ssaaayy... does Kasumi have a crush on
you or something... really"
"I don't know.. don't ask me"
"And why are you and Kasumi avoiding each other, or rather, YOU are
avoiding Kasumi all together"
"It's.... personal"
"Getting all personal on me now aren't ya.. come on... tell me"
*He's worst than Misato..."
"Your worst than my guardian at my time"
"Who's that??"
"Misato... Misato Katsuragi"
*So that's who Misato is.... his guardian... wait, that's the person who
works in my position at his time.... so that's why he called me Misato*
"Wait a sec... stop trying to change the subject... Why are you ignoring
her... I admit.. she is a bitch and all but I really think she has the
hots for you"
"It's personal, I told you already"
"H-Hi Jirou"
Shinji turned around to see Kasumi looking at him.
"Hi Kasumi," Shinji replied plainly, "I need to go to the bathroom, if you
excuse me"
"Hey Kasumi, you'll say hi to Jirou and not say hi to me.. I'm hurt" Kensu
pretend to be hurt and grinned, "Say, what did you do to make Sh..Jirou
ignore you like that"
"THATS non of your bees wax pervert, anyways, I don't need to explain these
stuff to a Neanderthal like YOU"
"HEY, I'm fully evolved"
"Well with the brain size like yours, it's hard to tell"
"Then FORGIVE ME for not being a genius"
"I still can't believe they put you in charge of the EVAs.. man the guys at
NERV really blew it that time"
"Hey Kensu," Kensu turned to see what Shinji has to say, "I think I'll go
back to base, I need some rest"
"K Jirou, just remember you still have school tomorrow"
"Wait Jirou.... I need to talk to you"
Shinji stops and turns towards Kasumi, "Make it quick"
"In private.."
"I don't have the time... here or later"
"I.. what did I say... yesterday..."
"You called me Gendo..." Shinji quickly walked away from the cafe and headed
back to NERV.
Kensu, stunned by what he has just learned, just stood there like a doll
"I still have no idea what that was about"
"I'm... sorry Jirou..." Kasumi sat down on the chair and stared at her lap,
"I shouldn't have shouted at him like that.... he said sorry already..."
*Ummm.... Gendo.... isn't that the commander of NERV during his time 100 years
ago*
"Hey Kasumi, maybe you should go back to your apartment, i'll explain to your
command why you didn't come ok"
".... thanks.. but don't think that will make you less of a pervert"
"Oh brother, I'm trying to be nice and i'm still called a pervert"
"Heh... thanks Kensu..."
*Well at least SHE's back to normal..*
"Hey, no problem"
*******************************
"Misato.. I'm having dinner at Hikari's place... see ya tomorrow"
"Is my cooking really THAT bad Asuka.."
"Must worst than you make of it... trust me"
"Well looks like it's take out for me tonight"
"Well at least you'll be able to save some of your brain cells tonight"
"I'm starting to get the feeling that you think my cooking can kill angels"
"Well if it could, then we need to teach more people to cook like you"
Asuka laughed at her and Misato's daily joke about Misato's cooking,
"I'm off, and don't forget about the shopping trip we're having.."
"How can I forget that, see ya tomorrow"
*******************************
*Damnit... more of these presentations... well at least we don't have
homework*
Shinji check his labtop screen to see if there are any good rumors floating
around about the 'giant robots' since the people here seems to be much more
clueless about NERV and it's workings. He noticed a private message from a
person and opened it.
^Jirou... are you still mad at me....^
*Am I still mad at Kasumi.... well of course, she called me Gendo... but this
IS another time where no one knows who I am and all, I guess I can't blame
her for this... right...*
^So are you still mad... I'm really sorry^
^Hey.. don't worry, I'm not mad just frustrated... don't worry, even
if i'm mad at you, I can't stay mad with that cute face of yours^
Shinji glanced towards Kasumi and find her blushing as hard as he was when
Misato was finish teasing him.
^Thx.... So are you free after school...^
^Yeah, I guess... you wanna go to that resturant we wanted to yesterday^
^Sure (=^
^Right after I visit Chron first ok.. he's hurt bad^
^I'll come along^
^Thx Kasumi^
"Kasumi.. time for your presentation.." the teacher looked extremely tired
of all the failed expairiments.
*Kasumi is really in for it this time.. if she even screws up a little bit,
she's dead*
"My presentation is about Fusion Technology"
The teachers eyes light up like a light bulb as she hears Kasumi's extremely
advanced topic.
*Wow... there goes everyone elses marks* Shinji chuckled as he stared at
Kasumi during her presentation.
*I still can't believe I got mad at HER*
*******************************
"Excuse me... where is the room Chron is in"
"Room 312... it's the room to the left.. can't miss it"
"Thanks"
Shinji and Kasumi walked slowly towards the room but Shinji stopped right
before they reached their destination.
"Hey Jirou... why aren't you going in"
"I-I.. can't... I let him down..."
"Oh come on.. you came in time to save his life right?"
"I should of came earlier so he won't be here..."
"Oh come on... I'm sure he'll be glad to see you, I mean he won't be glad
to see me right beside his bed right?"
Smiling a bit, Shinji took a deep breath and prepared himself for the longest
tongue lashing in quite a while.
"Hey Jirou, Finally had time to come visit huh... what did I miss at school"
Shinji looked at Chron and expected a furious expression on his face.. but
it was excatly opposite of what he thought.
"Umm.. not much actually... the science presentation was a dud, well except
of Kasumi's presentation, and I think you better come up with a very good
presentation, or else, you'll fail so bad you'll rather be dead"
"Oh boy...."
"Aren't you guys forgetting someone here" Kasumi put on her 'extremely annoyed
face' and stared down the two EVA pilots.
"Uh.... sorry Kasumi." Shinji gulped a little as he turned towards Chron and
whisper to him, "Help me.. i'm suppose to go to a resturant with her after
this"
Chron hold back his laugh for the sake of Shinji's life and his own, "Tough
luck man.. you really have weird taste in women Jirou.. REALLY weird taste"
"Ignoring me again..."
"No.. of course not... ummm why don't we go now.. I think Chron needs his
rest"
Chron sighed in relieve as he saw Kasumi walked out of the room, "Thanks
Jirou, I owe you one"
"Heh... just be ready with a first aid kit when you get out," Shinji took
a deep breath and walked out of the room and chased after Kasumi
"There goes a brave soul" Chron laughed out loud and winced in pain, "Ow..
pain pain pain... Ow Ow Ow.."
*******************************
"Where's a angel attack when you need one..." Asuka looked towards the sky
on the balcony of Hikari's house, "So I can EAT some edible food for once
in our apartment"
"What are you mumbling about Asuka?" Hikari joined her on the balcony, "How's
was dinner, good?? bad??"
"Well it's way better compared to Shinji's cooking so I can give you two
thumbs up for that"
"Shinji cooks??? Well that kinda makes sense.. since Misato isn't a 'cook'
type person, and you can't cook..."
"I can if I want to, but I don't" Asuka interrupted
"Whatever you say Asuka... anyways as I was saying, and you CAN'T cook"
Hikari giggled a bit and Asuka started to flare up, "So I guess Shinji
has to cook if you three want's to survive"
"Hmph.."
"How is Shinji doing..."
"How should I know, his the one in another time period.. not me"
Hikari frowned... "What do you mean by another time..."
*SHIT... I blew the cover... now Hikari knows.. I guess I can trust her
right.. she IS the class rep..*
"Well you remember that last attack..."
"Sure, Shinji was sent to a training centre in the US after that ..right.."
"No... Shinji was caught in an explosion and got sent forward or back in time"
"OH MY GOD" Hikari screamed out loud when she realize the truth about Shinji's
disappearance, "Is he ever gonna get back..."
"I dunno... we have to wait til the next angel attack..."
"Are you ok Asuka.."
"Of course I'm ok... I mean it's only Shinji right... "
*Of course i'm not ok... I miss him... no... I don't miss him.. he's a baka
and a pervert, why should I miss him right... yeah.. that's right, I don't
miss him*
"I'm not so sure your ok Asuka... I mean you don't lo-"
"I"m fine Hikari.. don't worry" Asuka smiled and walked back into the house.
"You can't hide like that always Asuka... I'll find out what you REALLY feel
sooner or later" Hikari walked back into the house.
*******************************
"Thanks for the drink Jirou," Kasumi has been staring at the floor the whole
time she was with Shinji.
"It was nothing... I mean it's only a drink right"
*It's nothing!?!? does that mean that he likes me.. that the drink was
nothing if it's for me!!*
Kasumi face turned bright red as she thought of that
"Umm.. I think we should get going... I mean it's almost dinner time.."
"Hey, why don't we go out for dinner too, my treat this time"
"Sure, but I don't really like freeloading, I'll pay my share"
*Does this mean that the drink was really nothing to him... and I thought
he liked me...*
"Ok then... which resturant do you wanna go to"
"Hey.. a raimen stand.. why don't we just go there"
*Raimen?? This isn't excatly romantic isn't it... maybe i'm just imagining
it... plus why would a guy like him like me...*
"Or we can go there..." Shinji pointed towards an italian resturant.
*ITALIAN!! He really likes me.. oh my god.. what should I do.. go my god*
Kasumi panicked as she desperatly search for an good answer.
"Ka-kasumi.. are you ok.. you don't like Italian??"
"N-no.. I love Italian... l-let's go eat"
*He asked if i like it!! He really does like me!!*
Kasumi struggle to keep herself in control as they walked into the resturant.
"Table for two please"
"This way sir"
*Wow... this place looks REALLY romantic...*
*******************************
*Oh god... this place looks romantic... what have I done this time. I just
invited a girl that I don't even know too well to a resturant like this, I
shoulda stick to the raimen stand instead... Man... I wonder what Misato
would say right about now*
"This way sir"
Shinji looked at Kasumi in her semi-dream state.
*Wow.. she's like one of those movie stars...*
They waiter lead them to a table near the window and left them.
"Umm Kasumi.. what would you like?"
*Oh god she's looks good in this lighting.. snap out of it Shinji, your not
a pervert like Asuka says.. and quit staring at her..*
"Umm I'll think I'll try the Spaghetti with mushroom sauce"
"Cool..."
The waiter walked towards Shinji and asked, "Are you ready to order??"
"Yes.. umm two Spaghetti with mushroom sauce please"
"And would you like anything to drink sir"
"Water will be fine"
"I'll have Sprite please" Kasumi quickly added.
"Your meals would be ready in a moment"
"Thank you"
*Maybe I shouldn't have ordered the samething as Kasumi*
Shinji looked up and managed a very nervous smile.
*******************************
*Ok.. he just ordered the same thing as me.. and smiled at me nervously..
WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN*
Kasumi's mind was screaming for help as she saw 'Jirou' stare at her
*COME ON.. SAY SOMETHING KASUMI... this is bad.. or is it good.. at least
i know he likes me right??*
"So..." Kasumi and Shinji said in Unison
"You first"
"Ok I'll go"
"No you first"
They two laughed softly as they try to decide who would talk first, but
then they waiter came up with their meals.
"And here's your sprite ma'am. If you need anything else, just call for me
and I'll be here as fast as I could"
"Thank you"
*Whew, good the food is here* Kasumi thought, *I hope the spaghetti is good*
*******************************
*Yes.. the foods here* Shinji thought *At least we might have something to
talk about after this*
Unvolentarily, Shinji starts to stare at Kasumi again.
*Wow.. she looks... WOW*
Kasumi looked up and blushed and continue with her meal.
*I better start eatting too, if I don't wanna starve to death*
***** Some time later *****
"The spaghetti any good??" Shinji manage to say as they finished their meal
"It was good... thanks..."
By now, Shinji was blushing so hard he think he can explode
"Umm you want dessert...."
"Sure..."
"Ummm.. Kasumi... I.. errr.. you see....err... nevermind..."
Kasumi looked at him curiously
*Man.. why did I have to do that... it was ABSOLUTLY STUPID*
"Jirou.... I... err... want to.. err. thank you for the meal...."
"It's... nothing....."
*What am I suppose to say now...*
*******************************
Kensu is walking down the street to find a good resturant to eat in
but instead, he sat down in the raimen stand opposite of an Italian
Resturant and ate raimen.
*Heh, I'll absolutly laugh my head off if Shinji and Kasumi was
eatting in that place*
"Man I'm stuffed... how much is that"
"3000 yen"
Kensu payed up and walked towards the resturant.
*Maybe i should hook them up and get them a date in this resturant..*
Kensu laughed at the idea, *Shinji is ignoring her and all, I bet he
doesn't even wanna look at her*
But what he saw right after scaried the living daylights out of him
"Shinji.... Kasumi.. in THERE... OH MY GOD"
*******************************
"Kensu??" Kasumi and Shinji looked out of the window.
*I'm in for the teasing of the century now...* Shinji groaned
*Why does that idiot have to ruin the moment for us* Kasumi groaned
*Why is it that things always happen just to freak me out* Kensu groaned
"You think we should just ignore him Jirou" Kasumi put up her cutest
smile.
"Well there's still dessert, so I guess we should just tell him to go
right? Or we can let him join..."
"Don't even think about it Jirou Katsuragi"
"Umm... ok...."
"Sir.. Ma'am, here's your vanilla ice-cream and the double chocolate fudge"
"Thanks"
*Chocolate cravings... when did I start having those..* Shinji thought as he
waved for Kensu to go away.
*He's waving him away... does it mean that he wants this moment to go on
too...* Kasumi started to eat her Vanilla ice-cream.
"How's your Ice-cream Kasumi.."
"It's great... you wanna try some"
"Umm I think I'll stick to my double fudge.."
*He doesn't want to share my Ice-cream... it means that he respects my space
right.. or does it mean that he doesn't like me.. Oh no... what should I do*
"Mind if I try.. umm.. some.."
*Huh.. she want's to try my double fudge... what should I do.. what should I
do*
"Errr.... sure..... I guess.."
*He's letting me try his dessert....*
"Thanks..."
*Now what...* Shinji stared at Kasumi as she tastes his Double chocolate
fudge.. *I need to get a grip.. I'm staring again...* Shinji glanced
nervously at the clock.
"I think we should finish up and go now.. it's getting late and it IS a
school night.."
"Right"
*He doesn't want to spent more time with me.... well Jirou does have a
good point about the school night thing*

Destiny and Time
Chapter 4
*I wonder how Chron is doing... Hell, why do I wanna
know, who cares if he dies*
"SHINJI, get your FUCKING ASS TO UNIT 01"
"Go away Kensu, this isn't my time period anyways.
I already intervened a bit too much so just leave me
alone"
"THAT was the lamest excuse I've ever heard, for an
EVA pilot, your brain doesn't work too good"
"Whats the use, I say let me die in peace"
"WELL, SOME OF US DON'T WANNA DIE"
"...."
"SO GET YOUR ASS MOVING OR I'LL DRAG YOU IN MYSELF"
"...."
"THAT'S IT, YOUR COMING WITH ME LIKE IT OR NOT"
Kensu starts towards Shinji to attempt to drag him out
of his bed. But Shinji got up before he even taken a
step.
"I'll do it, not because of you, not because of Chron,
not even for the fate of human kind, just because I
done enough running and I'm tired..."
Spoken that, Shinji charged out of his room and head
towards the cages.
*******************************
The angel has already drilled Chron's EVA into a swiss
cheese when Shinji arrived.
".... target in sight"
"Good, the rifle Chron had should be around, find it and
then use it if you think you'll need it"
"...."
By this time, the angel has already taken notice of the
purple EVA standing in front of the fallen EVA, it
charged at him with his drills but Shinji dodge it easily.
"...."
Unit 01 picked up the rifle and started shooting at the
angel, only having wasted a whole clip of ammo that lain
on the ground after hitting the AT field.
"...."
*This is taking too long....*
Wielding the prog knife, Unit 01 charged towards the angel
while avoiding it's hands and thrust the knife towards it's
stomach region, but doing no damage.
"WHAT THE HELL"
Taking inititive, the angel starts to drill on the chest plate
of the EVA but is kicked away swiftly.
"I need a better weapon... what do I have to work with"
"We're sending you a prog axe just to hold it off then will try
to send to the 'BIG GUYS'"
"I've got the axe"
"Sir, five more minutes til the partical rifle is ready"
"Jirou, can you hold it off for five minutes??"
*Damn, it can finish ME off with that much time*
"Sure..."
Wielding the axe, Shinji wills his EVA to make another attack.
The attempt was countered with a painful drill in the leg.
"AARRGGGGHHHH, DAMNIT"
"Are you ok Jirou"
"I'll be ok Misato..."
"Misato??? Are you sure your ok Jirou, I'm Kensu"
"AARRGGGGHHHH"
Dizzy from all the pain, Shinji decide to fall back a bit before
attacking again, but the angel got hold of his idea and cut him
off from his retreat.
*Damn... looks like I have to finish it off right now or else i'm
toast*
The angel starts to dash towards Shinji and drills him in the leg
again..
"AAAAARRRRRRRR... EAT THIS"
The EVA charged towards the angel and starts slashing at it like
was in berserk mode and the angel kept stumbling backwards with
each blow.
"diediediediedieDieDieDieDIeDIeDIEDIEIDIEDIEDIE!!!"
With a final thrust with the butt of the axe, it shattered the core
and the angel lay all bloody and dead.
*******************************
The command room was silent as they watched Shinji and his EVA litterly
rip through the angel like it was butter with a hot axe.
"Th...That... was Shinji"
Realizing his mistake, Kensu looked around the room to see if anyone was
listening to him, luckly, everyone was too stunned to even notice if they
where dieing.
"Send the retreval teams out NOW and get Chron to the Hospital"
The room suddenly snapped into action when Kensu spoken his orders to them.
"Retrival teams have located the ejected plug of Pilot Chron and right now
getting Pilot Jirou out"
"Very good, is a medical team out there??"
"Yes sir."
"Good work people, that's one more angel down for the count"
*And one more llooonnnnggg debriefing waiting for me... damn*
*******************************
Shinji has finally reached the base and was greeted by Kensu.
"Heeyyy, you kicked ass out there, well you should know what comes after
all the 'fun' right??"
"Kensu, can we do the de-briefing later.. I'm really tired"
*That fight really took alot outta him didn't it.... but what really happened
to him out there, he was in a frenzy or something, like nothing matters
to him...*
"Ok then, we'll have the de-briefing in 2 hours, don't be late"
"...."
*Why is he suddenly so quiet....*
"Oh yeah, hows Chron doing..."
"Umm, I don't know yet... no reports yet"
"Ok...."
"Well, see ya in 2 hours"
But Shinji has already left....
*******************************
*I was just like Unit 01 when it went berserk out there... what the hell
happend to me*
"Hey Jirou, are you hurt"
*Am I really an monster like that, just rip through anything infront of
me like it was nothing*
"Are you ok...."
*Do I even have control over my anger...*
"JIROU"
Slowly regaining his awarness, he noticed a very concerned Kasumi beside
him.
"Hi, Kasumi..." Shinji dipped his head and walked towards his room
*I don't deserve her concern, I'm a monster, just like my father...*
"Don't walk away from me, please.. I didn't meant to scream at you at
school.. I-I-I just had a bad day..."
*I don't even deserve to live*
Please Shinji don't die
"Huh??" Shinji looked around to see how called him with his real name.
"Jirou.... I'm sorry"
"Kasumi.... no, don't apoligize.. I'm suppose to... I'M sorry"
Shinji.. come back
"Jirou.. come back.. don't ignore me again please..."
"I'm tired.. please let me sleep..."
"Jirou...."
Shinji....
*******************************
"Shinji... Shinji..... Come back.... SHINJI..."
"Wake up Asuka", Misato shook Asuka violently trying to wake Asuka up
from what seems to be a very bad dream, "WAKE UP"
"AAAHHHHH", Asuka shot straight up in cold sweat
"It's ok Asuka.... it's just a dream"
"Wha... What did I say...." Asuka asked her guardian
"Umm... you were shouting Shinji's name and calling for him. What was
your dream about, mind if you told me"
"..... I rather not....."
*Shinji in a room hanging himself...... just like mama.... telling me
to die with him....*
"Ok... if you need someone to talk to.. I'm here"
"Misato...."
"Yeah"
"If you tell this to Shinji when he get's back.... I'll personally get
my EVA to rip you to piece"
Smiling a bit Misato walked out of Asuka's room.
*At least she's back to her own self*
*******************************
"YES... de-briefing is over. SSoooo.. Jirou, wanna grab a bite"
"Sure.... but hows Chron", Shinji glanced around the crowded room.
"Well, the angel missed the entry plug and didn't even scratch Chron
physically, but with the condition his EVA is in, I don't think he
would be getting out soon.. but how about we just go out and get
something to eat"
"... sure... I don't have anything else to do"
"Good... let's go"
Kensu dragged Shinji out of the room towards the garage and heads for
Kensu's favorite resturant.
*******************************
"So tell me Shinji," Kensu said casually, "What happened out there"
"Didn't you hear all about it in the de-briefing"
"No I don't mean the angel or it's strengh and all that crap, I mean
what happen to YOU"
".... I guess I went berserk.... just like Unit 01"
"What do you mean?"
"Refering to..."
"The just like Unit 01 part.."
"Well when I first piloted Unit 01 at my time, Unit 01 went berserk
when I lost conciousness..."
"Yes yes yes.. I know about that part, I'm just asking what about this
time that made you THINK you went berserk just like Unit 01"
"I-I-I don't know..." Shinji stumbled with his words, "I j-just did.."
"Well I guess we shouldn't be talking about this out of duty, it always
brings the mood down a notch... ssaaayy... does Kasumi have a crush on
you or something... really"
"I don't know.. don't ask me"
"And why are you and Kasumi avoiding each other, or rather, YOU are
avoiding Kasumi all together"
"It's.... personal"
"Getting all personal on me now aren't ya.. come on... tell me"
*He's worst than Misato..."
"Your worst than my guardian at my time"
"Who's that??"
"Misato... Misato Katsuragi"
*So that's who Misato is.... his guardian... wait, that's the person who
works in my position at his time.... so that's why he called me Misato*
"Wait a sec... stop trying to change the subject... Why are you ignoring
her... I admit.. she is a bitch and all but I really think she has the
hots for you"
"It's personal, I told you already"
"H-Hi Jirou"
Shinji turned around to see Kasumi looking at him.
"Hi Kasumi," Shinji replied plainly, "I need to go to the bathroom, if you
excuse me"
"Hey Kasumi, you'll say hi to Jirou and not say hi to me.. I'm hurt" Kensu
pretend to be hurt and grinned, "Say, what did you do to make Sh..Jirou
ignore you like that"
"THATS non of your bees wax pervert, anyways, I don't need to explain these
stuff to a Neanderthal like YOU"
"HEY, I'm fully evolved"
"Well with the brain size like yours, it's hard to tell"
"Then FORGIVE ME for not being a genius"
"I still can't believe they put you in charge of the EVAs.. man the guys at
NERV really blew it that time"
"Hey Kensu," Kensu turned to see what Shinji has to say, "I think I'll go
back to base, I need some rest"
"K Jirou, just remember you still have school tomorrow"
"Wait Jirou.... I need to talk to you"
Shinji stops and turns towards Kasumi, "Make it quick"
"In private.."
"I don't have the time... here or later"
"I.. what did I say... yesterday..."
"You called me Gendo..." Shinji quickly walked away from the cafe and headed
back to NERV.
Kensu, stunned by what he has just learned, just stood there like a doll
"I still have no idea what that was about"
"I'm... sorry Jirou..." Kasumi sat down on the chair and stared at her lap,
"I shouldn't have shouted at him like that.... he said sorry already..."
*Ummm.... Gendo.... isn't that the commander of NERV during his time 100 years
ago*
"Hey Kasumi, maybe you should go back to your apartment, i'll explain to your
command why you didn't come ok"
".... thanks.. but don't think that will make you less of a pervert"
"Oh brother, I'm trying to be nice and i'm still called a pervert"
"Heh... thanks Kensu..."
*Well at least SHE's back to normal..*
"Hey, no problem"
*******************************
"Misato.. I'm having dinner at Hikari's place... see ya tomorrow"
"Is my cooking really THAT bad Asuka.."
"Must worst than you make of it... trust me"
"Well looks like it's take out for me tonight"
"Well at least you'll be able to save some of your brain cells tonight"
"I'm starting to get the feeling that you think my cooking can kill angels"
"Well if it could, then we need to teach more people to cook like you"
Asuka laughed at her and Misato's daily joke about Misato's cooking,
"I'm off, and don't forget about the shopping trip we're having.."
"How can I forget that, see ya tomorrow"
*******************************
*Damnit... more of these presentations... well at least we don't have
homework*
Shinji check his labtop screen to see if there are any good rumors floating
around about the 'giant robots' since the people here seems to be much more
clueless about NERV and it's workings. He noticed a private message from a
person and opened it.
^Jirou... are you still mad at me....^
*Am I still mad at Kasumi.... well of course, she called me Gendo... but this
IS another time where no one knows who I am and all, I guess I can't blame
her for this... right...*
^So are you still mad... I'm really sorry^
^Hey.. don't worry, I'm not mad just frustrated... don't worry, even
if i'm mad at you, I can't stay mad with that cute face of yours^
Shinji glanced towards Kasumi and find her blushing as hard as he was when
Misato was finish teasing him.
^Thx.... So are you free after school...^
^Yeah, I guess... you wanna go to that resturant we wanted to yesterday^
^Sure (=^
^Right after I visit Chron first ok.. he's hurt bad^
^I'll come along^
^Thx Kasumi^
"Kasumi.. time for your presentation.." the teacher looked extremely tired
of all the failed expairiments.
*Kasumi is really in for it this time.. if she even screws up a little bit,
she's dead*
"My presentation is about Fusion Technology"
The teachers eyes light up like a light bulb as she hears Kasumi's extremely
advanced topic.
*Wow... there goes everyone elses marks* Shinji chuckled as he stared at
Kasumi during her presentation.
*I still can't believe I got mad at HER*
*******************************
"Excuse me... where is the room Chron is in"
"Room 312... it's the room to the left.. can't miss it"
"Thanks"
Shinji and Kasumi walked slowly towards the room but Shinji stopped right
before they reached their destination.
"Hey Jirou... why aren't you going in"
"I-I.. can't... I let him down..."
"Oh come on.. you came in time to save his life right?"
"I should of came earlier so he won't be here..."
"Oh come on... I'm sure he'll be glad to see you, I mean he won't be glad
to see me right beside his bed right?"
Smiling a bit, Shinji took a deep breath and prepared himself for the longest
tongue lashing in quite a while.
"Hey Jirou, Finally had time to come visit huh... what did I miss at school"
Shinji looked at Chron and expected a furious expression on his face.. but
it was excatly opposite of what he thought.
"Umm.. not much actually... the science presentation was a dud, well except
of Kasumi's presentation, and I think you better come up with a very good
presentation, or else, you'll fail so bad you'll rather be dead"
"Oh boy...."
"Aren't you guys forgetting someone here" Kasumi put on her 'extremely annoyed
face' and stared down the two EVA pilots.
"Uh.... sorry Kasumi." Shinji gulped a little as he turned towards Chron and
whisper to him, "Help me.. i'm suppose to go to a resturant with her after
this"
Chron hold back his laugh for the sake of Shinji's life and his own, "Tough
luck man.. you really have weird taste in women Jirou.. REALLY weird taste"
"Ignoring me again..."
"No.. of course not... ummm why don't we go now.. I think Chron needs his
rest"
Chron sighed in relieve as he saw Kasumi walked out of the room, "Thanks
Jirou, I owe you one"
"Heh... just be ready with a first aid kit when you get out," Shinji took
a deep breath and walked out of the room and chased after Kasumi
"There goes a brave soul" Chron laughed out loud and winced in pain, "Ow..
pain pain pain... Ow Ow Ow.."
*******************************
"Where's a angel attack when you need one..." Asuka looked towards the sky
on the balcony of Hikari's house, "So I can EAT some edible food for once
in our apartment"
"What are you mumbling about Asuka?" Hikari joined her on the balcony, "How's
was dinner, good?? bad??"
"Well it's way better compared to Shinji's cooking so I can give you two
thumbs up for that"
"Shinji cooks??? Well that kinda makes sense.. since Misato isn't a 'cook'
type person, and you can't cook..."
"I can if I want to, but I don't" Asuka interrupted
"Whatever you say Asuka... anyways as I was saying, and you CAN'T cook"
Hikari giggled a bit and Asuka started to flare up, "So I guess Shinji
has to cook if you three want's to survive"
"Hmph.."
"How is Shinji doing..."
"How should I know, his the one in another time period.. not me"
Hikari frowned... "What do you mean by another time..."
*SHIT... I blew the cover... now Hikari knows.. I guess I can trust her
right.. she IS the class rep..*
"Well you remember that last attack..."
"Sure, Shinji was sent to a training centre in the US after that ..right.."
"No... Shinji was caught in an explosion and got sent forward or back in time"
"OH MY GOD" Hikari screamed out loud when she realize the truth about Shinji's
disappearance, "Is he ever gonna get back..."
"I dunno... we have to wait til the next angel attack..."
"Are you ok Asuka.."
"Of course I'm ok... I mean it's only Shinji right... "
*Of course i'm not ok... I miss him... no... I don't miss him.. he's a baka
and a pervert, why should I miss him right... yeah.. that's right, I don't
miss him*
"I'm not so sure your ok Asuka... I mean you don't lo-"
"I"m fine Hikari.. don't worry" Asuka smiled and walked back into the house.
"You can't hide like that always Asuka... I'll find out what you REALLY feel
sooner or later" Hikari walked back into the house.
*******************************
"Thanks for the drink Jirou," Kasumi has been staring at the floor the whole
time she was with Shinji.
"It was nothing... I mean it's only a drink right"
*It's nothing!?!? does that mean that he likes me.. that the drink was
nothing if it's for me!!*
Kasumi face turned bright red as she thought of that
"Umm.. I think we should get going... I mean it's almost dinner time.."
"Hey, why don't we go out for dinner too, my treat this time"
"Sure, but I don't really like freeloading, I'll pay my share"
*Does this mean that the drink was really nothing to him... and I thought
he liked me...*
"Ok then... which resturant do you wanna go to"
"Hey.. a raimen stand.. why don't we just go there"
*Raimen?? This isn't excatly romantic isn't it... maybe i'm just imagining
it... plus why would a guy like him like me...*
"Or we can go there..." Shinji pointed towards an italian resturant.
*ITALIAN!! He really likes me.. oh my god.. what should I do.. go my god*
Kasumi panicked as she desperatly search for an good answer.
"Ka-kasumi.. are you ok.. you don't like Italian??"
"N-no.. I love Italian... l-let's go eat"
*He asked if i like it!! He really does like me!!*
Kasumi struggle to keep herself in control as they walked into the resturant.
"Table for two please"
"This way sir"
*Wow... this place looks REALLY romantic...*
*******************************
*Oh god... this place looks romantic... what have I done this time. I just
invited a girl that I don't even know too well to a resturant like this, I
shoulda stick to the raimen stand instead... Man... I wonder what Misato
would say right about now*
"This way sir"
Shinji looked at Kasumi in her semi-dream state.
*Wow.. she's like one of those movie stars...*
They waiter lead them to a table near the window and left them.
"Umm Kasumi.. what would you like?"
*Oh god she's looks good in this lighting.. snap out of it Shinji, your not
a pervert like Asuka says.. and quit staring at her..*
"Umm I'll think I'll try the Spaghetti with mushroom sauce"
"Cool..."
The waiter walked towards Shinji and asked, "Are you ready to order??"
"Yes.. umm two Spaghetti with mushroom sauce please"
"And would you like anything to drink sir"
"Water will be fine"
"I'll have Sprite please" Kasumi quickly added.
"Your meals would be ready in a moment"
"Thank you"
*Maybe I shouldn't have ordered the samething as Kasumi*
Shinji looked up and managed a very nervous smile.
*******************************
*Ok.. he just ordered the same thing as me.. and smiled at me nervously..
WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN*
Kasumi's mind was screaming for help as she saw 'Jirou' stare at her
*COME ON.. SAY SOMETHING KASUMI... this is bad.. or is it good.. at least
i know he likes me right??*
"So..." Kasumi and Shinji said in Unison
"You first"
"Ok I'll go"
"No you first"
They two laughed softly as they try to decide who would talk first, but
then they waiter came up with their meals.
"And here's your sprite ma'am. If you need anything else, just call for me
and I'll be here as fast as I could"
"Thank you"
*Whew, good the food is here* Kasumi thought, *I hope the spaghetti is good*
*******************************
*Yes.. the foods here* Shinji thought *At least we might have something to
talk about after this*
Unvolentarily, Shinji starts to stare at Kasumi again.
*Wow.. she looks... WOW*
Kasumi looked up and blushed and continue with her meal.
*I better start eatting too, if I don't wanna starve to death*
***** Some time later *****
"The spaghetti any good??" Shinji manage to say as they finished their meal
"It was good... thanks..."
By now, Shinji was blushing so hard he think he can explode
"Umm you want dessert...."
"Sure..."
"Ummm.. Kasumi... I.. errr.. you see....err... nevermind..."
Kasumi looked at him curiously
*Man.. why did I have to do that... it was ABSOLUTLY STUPID*
"Jirou.... I... err... want to.. err. thank you for the meal...."
"It's... nothing....."
*What am I suppose to say now...*
*******************************
Kensu is walking down the street to find a good resturant to eat in
but instead, he sat down in the raimen stand opposite of an Italian
Resturant and ate raimen.
*Heh, I'll absolutly laugh my head off if Shinji and Kasumi was
eatting in that place*
"Man I'm stuffed... how much is that"
"3000 yen"
Kensu payed up and walked towards the resturant.
*Maybe i should hook them up and get them a date in this resturant..*
Kensu laughed at the idea, *Shinji is ignoring her and all, I bet he
doesn't even wanna look at her*
But what he saw right after scaried the living daylights out of him
"Shinji.... Kasumi.. in THERE... OH MY GOD"
*******************************
"Kensu??" Kasumi and Shinji looked out of the window.
*I'm in for the teasing of the century now...* Shinji groaned
*Why does that idiot have to ruin the moment for us* Kasumi groaned
*Why is it that things always happen just to freak me out* Kensu groaned
"You think we should just ignore him Jirou" Kasumi put up her cutest
smile.
"Well there's still dessert, so I guess we should just tell him to go
right? Or we can let him join..."
"Don't even think about it Jirou Katsuragi"
"Umm... ok...."
"Sir.. Ma'am, here's your vanilla ice-cream and the double chocolate fudge"
"Thanks"
*Chocolate cravings... when did I start having those..* Shinji thought as he
waved for Kensu to go away.
*He's waving him away... does it mean that he wants this moment to go on
too...* Kasumi started to eat her Vanilla ice-cream.
"How's your Ice-cream Kasumi.."
"It's great... you wanna try some"
"Umm I think I'll stick to my double fudge.."
*He doesn't want to share my Ice-cream... it means that he respects my space
right.. or does it mean that he doesn't like me.. Oh no... what should I do*
"Mind if I try.. umm.. some.."
*Huh.. she want's to try my double fudge... what should I do.. what should I
do*
"Errr.... sure..... I guess.."
*He's letting me try his dessert....*
"Thanks..."
*Now what...* Shinji stared at Kasumi as she tastes his Double chocolate
fudge.. *I need to get a grip.. I'm staring again...* Shinji glanced
nervously at the clock.
"I think we should finish up and go now.. it's getting late and it IS a
school night.."
"Right"
*He doesn't want to spent more time with me.... well Jirou does have a
good point about the school night thing*
