Chp. 7 Police Cars and Computer Carts
Tai followed the boy, who dove in and out of the crowd. Heh, he's pretty fast…thought Tai as he sprinted back a electronics outlet. The boy turned a corner at an intersection in the street. Tai soon followed suite. But at the corner he found that the boy had disappeared. Looking around, he scanned the sea of heads, but couldn't see the boy. He's good…heh.
When he turned around, he saw boy. The boy had entered the pharmacy at the corner, which was why he had disappeared so suddenly. Through the display glass, Tai watched the boy walk down an aisle with bandages and disinfectant. Maybe that's why he had blood on his shirt…
Tai entered the pharmacy. A security camera centered itself on his face. Frowning, he instinctively raised his hand over his face, making sure they didn't get any recordings of him. …That definitely was not smart…
Shinji walked down the aisle. Spotting a large roll of sport bandages, he grabbed a roll, as well as a medical tape off the shelf. Walking briskly past a section of ankle reinforcers, he searched frantically for a certain type of disinfectant. …Damn…where's the fsking disinfectant?
"Looking for this?"
Shinji turned his head and found a bottle of the disinfectant he was looking for in his face. He grasped it, and the hand holding it let go.
"Wow, uh…thanks…"
"No problem."
Shinji looked at his rescuer, and his jaw fell open. AIIIEEEE! It's that guy I knocked over! That creepy guy with the black outfit and freaky shades…he's like stalkin' me! …but I guess it was my fault…I was in a rush and smacked into him…
"Um, do I know you?"
"No…at least…not personally."
The black-clad man looked out the window, his expression flat and void of life, but when he looked back at Shinji, his face broke into the smile.
"Well? Aren't you supposed to be in a hurry?"
"Huh…? OH CRAP REI!"
Shinji spun around and streaked towards the cashier. The young, scrawny cashier grinned at him.
"I see you're in a hurry!"
"Brilliant observation!" grunted Shinji, which was quite unlike him. Must hurry!
"That will be…¥900!"
"Whatever…" Shinji thrust a hand into his pocket, expecting to find his wallet, but he found instead chewing gum, a paperclip, and an eraser. Oh god…well there's my eraser…I am so stupid…forgot my wallet…
"Well?"
Shinji opened his mouth to tell the cashier to wait a second, but a thousand-yen bill was shoved in front of the cashier's face. Shinji's jaw both closed and opened in wonder. Ohmigod…
"Thank you…and here's your change." The cashier gave Shinji the change and receipt, while smiling at the young man behind Shinji.
"Would you like them in a bag?"
"Huh? Oh, um, sure, thanks."
Outside, Shinji attempted to thank the man.
"Ahh, I'm really grateful for your help," He bowed, "Thank you very much!"
"No problem. We haven't introduced ourselves…My name is Tai Kotone…what's yours?"
"Uh, Shinji…Shinji Ikari…"
"I see, well it was nice to meet you!"
"Yeah, thanks for everything, and sorry about running into you."
"That's fine…"
Tai watched the boy run away. Always good to meet some new people… He turned and began walking the other way. Shinji Ikari…hmmm…where do I remember this from…? A scary thought struck him like a thunderbolt.
Flashback-
"Tai, I'm coming with you!"
"No you're not…you're supposed to be dead."
"So? I don't care! I want to make sure my kids are fine!"
Tai slipped and fell flat on his face.
"Ow dammit…You have children?" He shot a dirty look at Kaji, who choked on a mouthful of beer and shook his head furiously.
"No I'm talking about the Children!"
"I know that! Was it Kaji?"
"NO you idiot! I'm talking about the pilots!"
"Oh…I see…" he laughed, "You nearly had me there…I'll see you in a couple of days…" Misato proceeded to whack him with a lunch tray. Kaji whistled in amazement as Tai stumbled into a table and fell over. Matt roared with laughter as he watched the scene unfold.
"OKAY TAI I'M COMING WITH YOU! GOT IT?"
"Say whaa?"
"It think you killed one too many brain cells of his, Misato."
"Nah, I'm alright…now…no Misato you can't come…I promise to check on your kids…"
"THEY'RE NOT MY KIDS! I mean, well they're not mine technically, but still…I'm their guardian…and…"
"What are their names?"
"Shinji Ikari, Asuka Langley Sohryu, and Rei Ayanami. Rei Ayanami doesn't reside in my apartment…and just so you're warned…she doesn't lock the door to her apartment…and she's not the most modest person there either, so just make sure you don't walk in on her showering. The other two live in my condo. This is my address…" She handed him a slip of paper.
"They live together? They engaged or something? I mean, form what I heard, they're still in high school." Rick sipped at his beer, "Don't worry, I spent a month researching on them…couldn't get too much information though...but I did find some interesting recordings of their activities…"
"Rick shut up…"
"Anyways Tai, if I stay here, you will check on them and make sure they're okay…clear?" Misato raised a questioning eyebrow.
"Of course…don't worry Misato, I'll do my best." Tai swung his long black overcoat over his shoulder. But then he decided against it and handed it to Li-chan and asked her if she could drop it off at his cabin. She smiled and nodded.
"Yeah he'll probably check 'em in at the finest orphanage he can find." That earned Rick an empty bottle of root beer.
"Oooooo…that left a mark…"
-Present time
Tai stopped abruptly, his eyes widened as he realized…
OH SHIT!
He whipped around and hurtled through the crowd after the boy. Damn, I knew I should have had another cup of coffee!
Shinji sped through the streets of Tokyo ad a maddening pace. Damn have to hurry…
The huge apartment building loomed ahead. Argh there were so many people in my way! But I really have to be grateful to that guy…
He ignored the elevator and streaked up the stairs. At the door, he reached into his pocket, but then remembered he had forgotten to lock the door. He swiftly ran inside and kicked off his sneakers. Tiptoeing down the hallway he walked past Asuka's room. When he got past he resumed the ten-foot sprint to his (now Rei's) room. He gently pushed open the door, finding Rei unconscious, or sleeping, on the floor. Panicking, he ran over and shook her gently.
"Rei!" He whispered, "Rei? Are you alright?"
She turned her head and looked at him drowsily.
"I'm sorry, I was just tired…"
"No no…t-that's alright! Here, I got the bandages and stuff, can you sit up?"
She slowly got and sat against the wall. Shinji noticed with some anxiety that there was still a puddle of blood near her. It hasn't dried…so she's been bleeding for the past forty minutes or so…
"Um, hold still, I'll put some disinfectant on…"
Tai ran across the street, using his crazy skills to avoid traffic. He leapt and rolled over cars while rolling under trucks. He was followed by many pairs of amazed eyes. Usually, he wouldn't do half the crazy things he did now. But he was in a hurry. That was his reason for acting crazy and doing crazy stunts.
Unfortunately, he was hit by an equally crazy driver shortly after turning a corner. The impact diverted him off his route, causing him to lose his quarry along with a couple more brain cells…bloods cells too, on that note.
"Aiiiieeee! Are you okay? I'm soooo sorry!"
"Lady! You nearly killed the poor kid!"
"I'm not a kid…ow damn it…my ass…" I'm just a little…over eighteen…I don't think I'm a 'kid'…
Tai lifted himself up from what was left of a bench and trashcan, gripping his back. He brushed his shirt off, coughing out some blood. People were beginning to gather around to see what was going on. Oh great…more attention…
"Are you okay?"
"Yes mam, calm down, I'll live…"
"Ohmigod! I can't believe I hit you!" The young woman was flipping out right in front of him. …I take it you're schizophrenic…
Fortunately I managed to throw myself back a bit to absorb the impact…it was mostly the bench that hurt…
"Yeah, neither can I. I'm wondering how you managed to drive through that newspaper stand over there."
"Oh, um, well, I kinda…lost control?"
"That's nice, I'm off…"
He quickly strode away, the crowd parting to make a path for him. Then he heard the unmistakable sound of police sirens and an ambulance as well. He immediately broke into a run as the cops pulled into the intersection nearby.
"OH HELL NOOO!"
Shinji finished wrapping up the 5-inch gash on Rei's arm. He smiled at her.
"Well…there…it's done."
"Thank you, Shinji…"
Shinji blushed when he heard this. He was still getting used to Rei calling him by his first name.
"Umm…I'll…uh go get some paper towel to clean up the blood…and some drinks…yeah, ummm…you lost a lot of blood there…"
"…Thank you…Shinji"
Shinji blushed and ran to the bathroom.
Rei sat there, nodding off. Why is he doing this for me…? Shinji…Ikari…what am I to you…? A friend…fellow pilot…is that all? …What are you to me…? I do not know…maybe also a friend…
She rested her on her knee, as she inspected Shinji's handiwork. It no longer hurt any more, but was still rather numb. Rei felt rather weak, after losing so much blood. She blinked sleepily.
Closing her eyes, she imagined Shinji when they first met. She was severely injured, and he had not only shown her kindness and care, but had even decided to pilot Eva on account of her. He remembered when he had held her and shielded her with his own body during the first angel attack on NERV. During the fight with the seventh angel, he had done what his father had done before; he burned his hands to open the scalding hot door of her tube. But the difference, she had learned, between Shinji and his father before him, was that his father cared for her, due to the fact that he needed her as a pilot and that she was his "reincarnation" of his wife, Yui, as she had some of Yui's genes, as well as soul, in her. But she wasn't Yui, and never would be. But she didn't know who she really was. I am not…a doll…I am a human being…
But a mocking from the back of her head said, Are you so sure about that? You are artificial…created…by humans…
I was human before…
Yes…but not anymore…She shook her head, trying to clear her mind.
Shinji, on the other hand, had burned himself to protect her, to make she was safe. She remembered those words he had said to her…"Someday, we'll both be glad that we survived this day." I wonder what he meant by that?
He had taught her what a smile was, and what it meant…"People smile when they're happy. You should smile too."
He had told her the second meaning of crying… "Why are you crying, Ikari-chan? Are you always sad?" "No, you stupid, I'm crying because I'm happy…that you're safe…"
But he always viewed himself as weak and cowardly. He openly admitted to being weak and cowardly. But Ikari-kun…you're not weak at all…you've piloted the Eva to protect the ones you care about…that is not weak…you may show people on the outside, that you're shy and insecure about the world, but on the inside, you're quite strong…you shouldn't be afraid…
She smiled to herself in the darkness of the room.
On board the Peneatrator, Ritsuko slowly paced around her cabin. She thought back, to before the attack on NERV. She had forsaken her friends, Misato…Kaji…
But Kaji was still willing to talk to her.
But what about Misato? They hadn't actually come in direct contact on the sub yet. She sighed and sat down at the small desk by the table. Misato…will you ever forgive me…I'm so sorry…
She remembered how she had killed all the clones of Rei, in spite of the Commander, who had betrayed her love. It was because of Rei? No, it really wasn't, it was Gendo. He would never let go of his wife, Yui. Ritsuko didn't blame Yui, she didn't care that she had lost to Yui, but she had to blame someone. So she had blamed Rei. She had nearly caused Shinji to go insane. She remembered the look on Misato's eyes when she saw Shinji collapse to the ground in shock. She had glared at Ritsuko, with disgust and anger. She wanted to take out her pistol and shoot her.
Now what their relationship? Were they still friends? No, probably not. She closed her eyes and rested her head against the cool surface of the metal desk. A laptop, a gift from Kaji, lay beside her on the desk. A tear dropped and fell onto the desk. This is all my fault…I should never have done that to Rei…tried to kill her…I also should killed the Commander when I had the chance…the bastard…how the hell did I ever fall in love with him…?
Misato walked through the halls, fuming. Walking by her side was a smiling Kaji, who had a hand placed behind Misato to make sure she didn't turn back.
"Why the hell do y—"
"You two have been friends for like forever, longer you and I…I can't let such a pretty friendship go bad," He winked at her, "'Specially between two fine women such as yourselves…"
"She is no longer my friend! She betrayed US!"
"No, actually that was me…"
"Oh…well anyways she's gone crazy…I told you about what she did with the clones, didn't I?"
"Yes…but I think she's regained her old self back again. I've already met with, and she seems happy to see me." He flashed a smile at a girl who walked by, making her gape at him.
"Kaji…stop that…"
"Sorry, couldn't resist. Heh."
"So Tai…he really did…save…you?"
"Saved you yes…"
"No I mean you…"
"Actually…no," his cheery atmosphere disappeared, replaced with a more serious expression, "Truth be told we said that just to keep you from…thinking about my activities too much…I killed the agent…myself…"
Misato looked at him in surprise. "Y-you're not joking…are you?"
"I told you, I work as an intelligence gatherer and double-agent…I'd be ashamed if I didn't learn to defend my self yet…"
"I see…"
"We're here!" They stopped at a another cabin door.
"Where?"
"Ritsuko!" He smiled. "Where else do you think we were going? Io saw a spark of friendship back at the base, when you hugged her!"
"…"
Kaji took the same card he had used to open Tai's cabin out.
"This baby will now gain me access to any part of the ship! Tai gave it to me."
"I'll make sure to bolt the door when I go to sleep then…"
"They're sliding."
"Shut up."
Kaji swiped the card through the panel slot and the door slid open. Kaji gently pushed Misato inside. He then proceeded to close the door in her face, waving at her with a big grin on his face.
"Play nice! You're not getting out until you two are best of friends again"
"KAJI!" She angrily punched the door, earning some bloody knuckles.
"M-Misato?"
"…Ritsuko…well…how are you?" She asked coldly, her eyes glaring at the astonished scientist.
"M-Misato…?" She looked at Misato in surprise, from her desk. Apparently, she had been crying.
"What?" Ritsuko
"Ah…I…I'm really sorry…for everything…I've been a complete idiot…can you ever forgive me?" She fell unto Misato's shoulder sobbing.
Misato was stunned. From before now, had thought of cutting all connections to her college friend. She had been insane, mad, but now here she was, apologizing. Was she truly sorry? Or was this just another act? No, she wouldn't have any reason to be like this anymore. The secrets were all out. She was sorry. Ritsuko…
"Ritsuko…" Her voice trailed off as she felt the tears coming. "Ritsuko…"
She hugged the shaking figure as she started crying as well.
"Ritsuko, it's…all right…"
Outside, Kaji had his ear pressed against door. He smiled when heard Misato's forgiving of Ritsuko. Well, that's one problem down…
"Kaji, what the hell are you doing?"
"Hmm?
Just listening to talk between two old friends…"
Matt
frowned in a confused manner at Kaji, as he strolled away jauntily.
Kaji walked on to the Mess Hall, determined to catch up on his drinking activities. That brought him to another conclusion. I don't think Misato's had a drink ever since the attack…has she?
At the line, he placed an order for some ramen, as he thought about his job as a double-agent, and about Misato, his feelings for her. So, what will our relationship be like now?
He had joined shortly after parting ways with Misato. He had wanted to do something, to expose the ones who initiated the Second Impact, and ended up snatching a job off their desk. But he had done so for a reason. He was already working for the Japanese Government's Department of the Interior, working to find the true going-ons at NERV. Essentially, he was a double-agent, just like what he had always wanted to be. Saving the world…
"Here's your beef ramen!"
"Thank you. Smells great!"
"Oh yeeeaaah!"
Kaji grinned as he walked away from the counter, carrying the lunch tray. Sitting down at a table alone, he thought about random things…James Bond…my idol, heh…maybe I should go practice at the shooting range
"Ohmigod! He's beautiful!"
Kaji was snapped out of a dream concerning him using a rocket launcher by the unmistakable hunting cry of females. Uh-oh…
Rei leaned against the fall, nodding off again. Shinji had been gone for ten minutes, and she was still feeling a bit dizzy. A couple minutes ago, she had attempted to get up, but collapsed back onto the floor. She bit her lip as she struggled up again, leaning on the nearby cabinet for support. Breathing heavily, she leaned against the small piece of polished wood as she tried to stabilize herself. She felt rather faint, and that she might actual faint if the dizziness continued.
She slowly stumbled out of the room, right into the loaded arms of a confused Shinji.
"AIEE! Rei! What are you doing? You shouldn't be moving right now."
"I am fine, Ikari-kun, just a bit tired…you need not worry your— "
Shinji dropped everything he was holding, save the glass of orange juice, and caught Rei as she fell forward.
"I'm sorry…"
"No, it's not your fault."
She nodded weakly in his arms. Gingerly, he half-carried, half-guided her back into the room, all the while precariously balancing a glass of orange juice. Why didn't I just get a can of soda?
Gently, he helped her sit down against the wall, and handed her the cup of juice with a small, decidedly embarrassed, smile. She politely took the drink offered and sipped at it.
Rei took a long sip, as her crimson eyes darted quickly to Shinji's face. Her was watching her with a smile. Her eyes quickly darted back to her drink, as her face yet again flushed with color. Fortunately, it was dark. But Shinji noticed the glance anyways.
"Um, why are you so worried?"
"Hmmm?"
Tai limped up the stairs. He was clutching at his leg, which was bleeding profusely. Just my luck…I get hit by a car, attacked by an old couple who thought I was a pickpocket 'cause my clothes were dirty, and then the elevator is broken…it couldn't get any worse now…could it?
"RUNAWAY CART!"
"What?" He looked up the stairs in surprise. The surprise met him head on.
"OH HELL N—" He was sent back tumbling down the stairs with a seventy-pound computer cart and dozens of computers.
"OhMIGOD! ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?"
Lying flat on his back on the first floor of the condo building with a hundred pound cart sitting on his chest and stomach, Tai was on the verge of tears. I hate my life…
"Ooops, watch out for the last one!" Tai tilted his head to the side to see what was coming down the stairs this time. He eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he saw another cart barreling down the stairs towards him far past breakneck speed.
Oh good Lord…He was cut off as he was struck with another cart in an explosion of paper. The resulting impact sent the other cart onto his face as the new one landed on his unprotected stomach. Ironically, this one bore books, including a huge, leather-bound Bible which proceeded to fall off the cart and "smite Tai with the will of God". He was also "smited" by several encyclopedias and an English almanac (don't ask why).
Now he was crying. Both from excruciating pain and the fact that Lady Luck had ran off with some other guy.
While Tai was attempting to scale the walls of the fortress, Shinji took a seat beside Rei. He had just finished cleaning the puddle of blood from the wooden floor. He noted that she was shivering slightly. He quickly ran out of the room to the alarm of Rei, who was still a little light-headed from blood loss. He came back soon with some blankets. To, Rei's surprise, he draped two of them over her shoulder.
"Thank you, Shinji-kun."
"Ah, um, you're welcome…uh, you're done with it?" he gestured towards the cup.
"Yes, thank you." She said, as he took the empty cup from her. "Thank you…for everything…" she added, as an afterthought, after he ran out the room.
Once again, he appeared and sat down beside her. Smiling politely at her, he asked, "So, um, how's your arm feeling?"
She blinked at him. "It is fine now…thank you. The pain has gone away. It's only numb now." She closed her eyes as she hugged her blanket around her shoulders.
"Wow," he looked at his watch, "it's practically midnight."
She opened her eyes yes.
He got up to leave, "Well, goodnight." He waved and made to leave the room.
"Shinji…"
"Yes Ayanami?"
"Um…" She looked down and closed her eyes. She inhaled.
"U-Um…uh…Shinji-kun? U-Um c-could you k-keep me company?"
Shinji couldn't believe his ears. One thing: REI JUST STUTTERED AGAIN! The second, most important thing: SHE ASKED ME TO KEEP HER COMPANY!
What a sec…brain processing information…does not compute why? Why would she ask…that? But I guess it's okay, she seems to need a friend right now…but still…
She looked at him with those pretty crimson eyes…a sudden look of sadness reflected in them.
ARGH SHE'S TOO CUTE TO RESIST…
About twenty seconds later, he was sidling up next to Rei with his own blanket. …Wow…she's warm…
Meanwhile, Tai woke up in a hospital all bandaged up. The nurse walked over to him and asked with a friendly smile, "Well, how are you?"
"Huh? I'm…fine, how did I get here?"
"An old lady called an ambulance and brought you in. Seems you had a nasty run-in with some carts. She was worried sick about you. Afraid she'd killed you or something." She flashed another strange smile at him, one which Tai couldn't discern whether to be friendly, or something more than that.
"How long was I out?"
"Only about half an hour…you surprised us. We didn't expect you to wake for at least 48 hours…due to the severity of the injuries you received."
"Well I feel fine. I'm checking out. Thanks for the medicine." He yawned.
He then proceeded to jump off the bed. It was not a very smart idea, as he was still attached to several machines, and he gasped in pain as medical tape and needles were yanked out of his body. Ahhh the pain!
The young nurse giggled. "That wasn't very smart, now."
"No, I guess it wasn't." He managed to grin at her through the pain.
But the pain at least woke him up. He welcomed it. Pain wasn't a weakness, it was a strength. Another strength would be the ability to treat pain not as a weakness, but a strength. Pain sharpened his senses, and also relayed to his brain his weak points. That way, he would be able to protect them.
He immediately blushed. His now-fully-awake-from-pain senses brought him to the conclusion that he was half naked, which was the reason why the nurse was studying him so intently.
"Uh, where are my clothes?"
"Oh, sorry, I'll get them!"
Ten minutes later, Tai attempted to check out at the front desk. He was flatly rejected.
"WHY NOT?"
"Well, first of all, it's about one in the morning…and your injuries are rather severe…I'm surprised you actually moving, let alone standing."
"Well, I am, and I feel great, may I go now?"
"I'm sorry. But no. Your ID…it is also…peculiar."
The thought struck him. They must have taken his wallet. He patted himself down.
"Where are my personal effects, including my suitcase?"
"They're being held in custody by the police. Your ID seemed rather strange, they said. And are you authorized to carry a gun?"
"Yes." He stared at her with a confused look on his face
"Oh, okay…" she smiled at him, "Just checking."
"So, where are my belongings again?"
"Don't worry, the police will be back soon."
Suddenly, a woman ran into the lobby and turned Tai around.
"Uh, do I know you?"
"Oh, I'm so sorry! I can't believe I hit you with two carts!"
"That's fine." Tai tugged uncomfortably at his fleece turtleneck.
At that point, the police chose to arrive. An officer, along with several others, walked up to him and asked politely whether he was "Tai Kotone". He answered yes. The man smiled and handed back Tai's wallet and suitcase.
"Interesting suitcase case you got there…we tried to open it, but it was sealed tight…we also tried to run scans on it, but it seems that your building material does not allow any x-rays to penetrate. Our metal detectors didn't work as well."
"I'm rather attached to my privacy, y'know." He smiled politely at the officer.
The officer looked at him with a suspicious stare. "Have I seen you before?"
"I don't think so…"
