Disclaimer: Refer to Ch. 1.
As for the Alien King, they only appear in certain places, but they are very real. They come from the same way the drones do, but differently. I'll explain in the next chapter.
Shinji woke to a small pain in his chest. Unconsciously, he rubbed his chest. Strangely, the pain went away. "What was that about?" he said tiredly. He so wished that he could sleep some more. He hated weekdays.
He slowly got up, then shuffled to the bathroom. At least Asuka wasn't here. "Asuka..." he murmured, his thoughts going to the 2nd Child. She had come back after the fight with the 15th, but her mental instability caused her to be more abusive than she already was. At least she was getting better. Misato had told him that she would be able to pilot again, soon.
"At least she'll be happy." He undressed and turned on the water. The hot water cascaded down his face, waking him up. After a while, he turned off the water and left the bathroom. He entered his room and began to dress in his school attire. As he pulled his shirt over his head, he happened to look in a corner. In the corner he saw the facehugger.
Misato was getting ready to open a beer can, when she heard Shinji scream. She ran to his room to find him panting heavily against the wall. She followed his terrified gaze to the corner and saw the dead facehugger. She let out a small shriek. "What the hell is that!?"
Asuka came into the room, wearing her uniform shirt. "Mein gott, what the hell is going on here!?" Misato and Shinji pointed to the corner (again with the damn corner), and she followed. She jumped when she saw the facehugger. "What the fuck is that!?"
Misato prodded the thing with a toe. "I think it's dead."
Asuka picked it up with her thumb and forefinger. "Whatever it is, how the hell did it get in here?"
Shinji shook his head. "I have no idea. I just started getting dressed..."
Alas, Asuka's nature causes her to impulsively accuse someone of something. Today's victim is Shinji, who made the mistake of saying that he was getting dressed.
"Baka-hentai!"
He ran out before she had the chance to slap him. He was gone out the door before any of them had the chance to realize he left.
"He's fast for a scared guy."
Asuka just snorted and went to her room to finish dressing.
Misato watched her go, then went to get a bag. 'I'll have Ritsu analyze it.'
Shinji was panting hard. He had no idea where that burst of speed came from, but he wasn't complaining. "Asuka no baka! Always making assumptions!" he said under his breath. "Just one day..."
"Just one day what?"
He whipped around at the sound of the voice. "Oh. Hello, Ayanami-san."
"Shinji-kun."
He looked at her puzzled. "Wh-what did you just call me?"
She tilted her head. "Shinji-kun. Is that not what you asked me to call you?"
He froze. He had asked asked her that right before the fight with the 9th. "Ayanam- Rei? D-do you remember what happened after the 5th?"
She bowed her head, concentrating. It was a blur, but... "You asked me to smile."
He was sure of it. This was the Rei he knew. Before he realized what he was doing, he hugged Rei. She stiffened, but then, reluctantly, hugged him back. He felt her against him and let go quickly. "Sorry," he said blushing. "I don't know what came over me."
She smiled. Not many people would have noticed it, but Shinji knew her better than anyone, even his own father. He nearly melted.
Unknown to them, they were being watched. As they walked on towards their school, 4 drones scaled the buildings and followed them. They scaled the walls, walking on them.
When they got into the school, they separated and each went to their own desk. From out of nowhere, Toji and Kensuke appeared out of nowhere.
"Hey, Ikari!"
Shinji almost jumped out of his skin. "Shit, give me a heart attack why don't you?"
"Sorry."
Kensuke looked around the room. "Where's the Red Devil?"
Shinji froze. 'Uh-oh.'
The door blew open, and Asuka stood there. It seemed as though she had a fiery aura around her. "SHINJI!"
Toji glared at Kensuke. "You just had to ask."
She stomped over to the 3 and glared at Shinji. She grabbed the front of his shirt and brought him close. "Your ass is mine after class." She threw him down and stalked to her seat.
Toji and Kensuke watched her. "Shit, she looks pissed."
Kensuke nudged Shinji. "Damn, what'd you do?"
He motioned them downward. "Okay, get this. I get up, take a shower, and I'm getting dressed when I see something like a crab on the floor."
"A crab?"
"No! It had a tail! Crabs don't have tails!" he hissed. "Anyway, I scream, Misato comes..."
"What was she wearing?"
Shinji glared at them. "If you don't shut up..."
"Okay, okay!"
"Anyway, Misato screams, Asuka comes, she points at me 'cause she thinks I'm jackin' off!"
Toji and Kensuke looked at each other. "Were you?"
Shinji recoiled in horror. "Get the hell away from me!"
Just then, the Sensei walked in. Hikari went through the standard procedure: "Everyone stand. Bow. Sit."
Ritsuko prodded the dead facehugger. It was so bizzare. Somehow, it had managed to slip in Rei's tank, but it was dead when she found it. 'Interesting.'
Just then, Misato walked in, holding a bag. "Got something for you."
Ritsuko glared at her. "Can't you knock?"
"Sorry, but this is important."
"So's what I'm doing." She motioned to he facehugger on the table.
Misato stared. "Wha-wha-what the fuck?"
Ritsuko pointed a finger at her. "Language, Misa-kun."
Misato put the bag on the table and reached into it. She pulled the dead fachugger out by the tail. "We're in the same boat."
Aside from the incident in the morning, nothing happened from then till lunch. It was then when Shinji noticed something was different. As everyone filed out after the bell rang, he found that he could not stop staring at Rei. 'What's wrong with me? I can't stop thinking about Rei.'
Rei, on the other hand, could not stop thinking about Shinji. When she felt his gaze upon her, she couldn't stop blushing, which appeared as pinkish tinge on her cheeks. 'What does Ikari-kun think of me?'
Shinji watched Rei leave the room. He walked out and meant to go join Toji and Kensuke, but his body wouldn't listen to him. Instead, he followed Ayanami to the roof of the school. From a distance of course, so it wouldn't look like he was stalking her. When she reached the room, he just stood there.
Rei looked up as she heard someone come. "Shinji-kun?" He said not a word, but the look in his eyes was a look of need. She nearly melted on the spot.
He watched her stand up. He moved toward her, his forgotten lunch dropping out of his hand. He took her in his arms, and kissed her on the spot.
She nearly passed out from the wave of pleasure that invaded her every fiber. He was so gentle with her. She kissed him back hungrily, closing her eyes. She felt like she was in heaven. Faintly, she felt her shirt coming loose.
Toji ran into Kensuke. "You find him yet?"
"Nope."
He scratched his head. "Where the hell did he go?"
"Who're you talking about?"
The 2 boys whipped around to see Asuka. "Oh my god, it's the devil!"
She glared at them. "If you say that again..."
"Okay, okay!" Toji put up his hands.
"Now who are you looking for?"
"Shin..."
"I'll kill him!" She ran toward the roof.
Toji and Kensuke looked at each other, than ran after her. Along the way, they ran into Hikari.
"Where are you..." She didn't have the chance to finish as she was grabbed by Toji.
Asuka was seeing red as she opened the door to the roof. She then was shocked by what she saw.
As Toji, Hikari, and Kensuke ran to the roof, they caught sight of Asuka. "Asuka!" She didn't answer.
"What's got her quiet?" Toji trailed off as the 3 came to a halt right next to Asuka, doing good impressions of fish at the sight before them:
1. Rei's shirt was open for all to see.
2. Shinji face was nestled betwwen her bra-clad cleavage.
3. They were on the floor of the roof.
4. Rei was holding Shinji's head to her chest.
"Wh-wh-what the fuck?"
Asuka broke out of her trance and now had a pissed look on her face (with standard angry sign). "BAKA-HENTAI!!!"
Shinji broke out of his trance. He looked up to see 4 people staring at them. He looked down to see a very confused Rei.
"Shinji-kun?"
Shinji and Rei both stood up and rearranged their clothes. Asuka was the one to break the silence.
"HOW COULD YOU DO THAT!?!" She advanced on the hapless Ikari. "YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A BAKA-HENTAI!!!"
Shinji began to back up. What an awkward situation this was. And all he could remember was a screeching noise...
Suddenly they all heard a scream. Her quarrel temporarily forgotten, Asuka joined the others. Below them, they saw students running in terror.
3 Alien drones were running aroundthe school grounds, hissing and snapping at any student that passed them. One already had a screaming teacher in it's grasp. One of them looked towards the roof. It opened it's mouth and screeched, revealing it's second set of jaws. Then they ran off.
"What the hell were they?"
Then...
"Where the fuck are the hentai and the whore!?"
Later that day, Shinji was quietly sneaking into Misato's apartment. Thus far, he had avoided Asuka. Now...
"THERE YOU ARE!" Asuka stood in the kitchen.
'Uh-oh.' He ran to his room and locked to door. Thank god that Asuka had pursuaded Misato to put locks on their doors. He sat back on his bed and thought back to that day. The felling of need came again, and before he knew it, he passed out.
The beast ran. It had to find it's mate. She needed him. He needed her. He could sense her from where he was. And he wanted her.
She was waiting for him when he came. He want to her, slowly. He wanted to be sure she was ready. She purred softly. That was all he needed. He jumped at her, and they hungrily went at each other like 2 lovers in heat.
And so, it went from courtship to mating.
Deep within the Hive, the 2 rulers felt the emotions eminated by by their hosts. Only one thing was on their minds now.
Yes...
