Thx for all the reviews, it helped me a great deal, and also for all the
positive comments!! Well, here's the 10th chapter, and it is mostly about
what will happen after Yui is reawakened and the plot thickens... kinda ^.^
lol!
________________________________________________________________________
Chapter 10 Yui's Revenge and Secrets Unveiled.
(Continuation from last chapter... Yui gets really pissed and yells at Gendo to come down, then Shinji faints, then it goes on... enjoy)
"GENDO, WHAT'S TAKING YOU THAT LONG!!!! GET DOWN HERE NOW! I NEED TO TALK TO YOU PERSONALLY!!" Yui raged on.
"Okay, ok, ok..." Gendo's words fading, walking towards the elevator shaft like a lost puppy.
Fuyutski slightly chuckled at Gendo, not daring him to see him laugh at him. Shinji was still lying on the ground unconscious. Three women hung over him, looking at him. Shinji slowly started turning his head this way and that, but not opening his eyes. Slowly, he mouthed the word, "Mom..."
Asuka looked at him adorably and whispered, "Aww, Shinji schaut gerade, wenn er schlaft, oder sollte ich sagen so nett, unbewußt. Aber nichtsdestoweniger, beginne ich, gesorgt zu erhalten." (Aww, Shinji just looks so cute when he's asleep, or should I say, unconscious. But nonetheless, I'm starting to get worried)
Both Rei and Misato looked up at Asuka in wonder. Asuka looked up, surprised that they could hear such low noise.
"Asuka, I know that you mean well for Shinji and all, but did I catch you just say wiener?" Misato asked rather annoyed.
"Grr, I was speaking German!" Asuka yelled frustrated.
* At the Eva 01 cage *
Gendo finally lingers his until he finally arrives in front of his "so" long lost wife. A few minutes ago, he was still pretty determined to bring her back, but now, he wasn't quite sure if that is the right decision. Gendo just stood there, frozen in place, guilt plagued him, while sweat starts to form on his forehead.
"Yeah, you sure ought to be guilty and aware right now," Yui replied after taking in his appearance, for once not shouting, "You haven't changed one bit since I left you, which sometimes gets me really pissed..."
"Yui, there is nothing to worry, you're back with me now, we'll be a normal family again, with Shinji..." Gendo stopped as Yui came closer.
"If you noticed... YOU HAVE DONE A PRETTY GOOD JOB OF SCREWING HIS LIFE UP!! THEN YOU PLAN ONE OF THESE RATHER SUICIDAL MISSIONS THAT INVOVLE HUMANITY DYING JUST TO BE WITH ME!! WHAT KIND OF BASTARD ARE YOU" Yui yelled, making Gendo cower in fear.
"Right, about Shinji... hmmm... YOU RAISE HIM UP FOR LIKE AYEAR. THEN YOU DUMP HIM ON THE STREETS, AND THEN YOU MAKE HIM COME BACK AND PILOT EVA 01! I'M GONNA GET YOU..." Yui screamed, really pissed.
Even though the people in the command room can open a screen shot footage LIVE of the cage of EVA 01, they can hear pretty well what Yui is saying.
Shinji woke up, without anyone noticing because they were busy listening to what Yui had in store for him after 12 years.
He sat up, "Uhhh, guys?" Shinji asked.
Both Misato and Asuka jump back in fear screaming "AHHHHH" while Rei just gives him a little smile, which Shinji tries to return. Shinji at once noticed the racket being heard coming from the cage.
"Maya, quickly, put on the cage of EVA 01 on screen, NOW!" Ritsuko yelled.
As the charts in front of the command center flickered and was replaced with the footage, everyone fell down at once (I mean Everyone). On screen, you could decently see a Mad crazy Yui chasing a hysterical Gendo, over land or water. Yui threw everything she could find at him. When finally Gendo ran for the elevators. Yui followed not allowing his prey to escape from her wrath.
"YOU GET BACK HERE, YOU HEAR GENDO IKARI!!! I'M NOT DONE YET!" Yui roared as she picked a screwdriver and chucked it at him.
"Oh crap, I knew this wasn't going to go well, Third Impact would be less painful than this!" Gendo whispered to himself as he ran for the elevator, occasionally getting hit by various items.
As he made it to the doors and frantically punching in numbers to open the door, two hands grabbed him from the back and hauled him away from the elevator, ripping off the dial pad in the process. As Yui and Gendo start the chase again, the personals of the command center were sweat dropping, falling down, eyes twitching, etc. Most of them just followed their chase with their eyes moving back and forth, following the bodies running around on screen.
"OH YEAH, BOUT REI, YOU REALLY SCREWED HER LIFE UP AS WELL! WHAT KIND OF PERSON ARE YOU!!" Yui screamed again.
Gendo was running out of places to hide and run. He took another look at the elevator, it was his only option. He noticed that the door was ajar. He made a dash for it. Yui noticing this ran after him too.
Gendo thought to himself, "Crap, if she gets in there either before or with me, I'm as well as dead!"
Just as Gendo jumped into the elevator, the door however didn't shut due to the ripped out panel, and in came the rampaging Yui. Gendo started sweating and eye twitching so much; it looked like he was twitching.
"Ha, now I have you where I want..." Yui said as she started to put some sense into him, since words didn't really penetrate his thick skull.
As they started ascending up in the elevator, everyone in the command center turned their attention at the shaft. Everyone started to move to the opposite corner just in case. As the the elevator stopped at the level with a CLUNK, everyone gulped as to what they expected. As the door opened, you could see that Gendo was rather red all over and Yui getting ready to slap him again. Gendo seeing his way out again, started to desperatly run out and towards his desk again. Yui started running after him again and cursing when she noticed everyone including Shinji, Asuka, Rei, and Misato backed up against a corner. She stopped the pursuit for now, and made her way towards the group. Upon seeing her approach some of them started to sweat drop, but Shinji decided that since it was his mother, there was nothing to be afraid of. He walked up to her and stood there. They stood there looking at each other for moments, which seemed like years to them. Finally Yui smiled gently, which caused many to sigh in relief, and grabbed Shinji in a tight, but warm embrace. Finally, Shinji returned the embrace and started sobbing a little.
"Hmm, don't tell me that you're crying, Shinji..." Yui asked.
Wiping his tears away, "Mom, I missed you so much... You're finally back again!" Shinji said as he embraced his mother once more.
At that moment, Misato straightened her self and walked over a little. Yui looked up at the person that was approaching them slowly. She realized that she was Misato that he has heard Shinji talk about in the Eva.
"So you're Misato?" Yui asked.
"Hunh, how do you know my name?" Misato asked puzzled. "Why, Shinji always speaks of you in the Eva... From what I heard, you've been acting like a mother to him and caring for him, I really appreciate that... Shinji thinks highly of you!" Yui exclaimed.
Misato was rather embarrassed and happy at the same moment. She blushed slightly and smiled. Rei slowly walked up next. Yui turned her head and noticed the Blue head.
"So, you're Rei... I haven't gotten a good chance to look at you since you were born, since I was absorbed already," Yui said.
"Hello Mrs. Ikari, I haven't had a chance to see you either, it is a pleasure!" Rei said.
"Why, you look awfully a lot like me, rather than Gendo!" Yui exclaimed.
"Hmm?" Rei asked puzzled.
"You are my daughter after all," Yui said.
"Yes, I would seem so since that Shinji is my brother, and you are his mom, then I guess I'm your daughter," Rei said.
"So I guess that you are now part of our family!" Yui said happily.
After that, Asuka finally walked up. Yui looked up again and faced the red- head.
"So... you're the Great Asuka I've heard about from Shinji!" Yui said with a warm, but teasing look.
"What? How do you know that, I thought you couldn't interact with the outside world while you were in that machine!" Asuka asked.
"No, I was reading his thoughts and memories, they were rather interesting!" Yui exclaimed.
Both teens blush at this.
"Well, if you didn't notice Asuka, Shinji fancies you! He always thinks about you in the plug, and he thinks that your hair and eyes go together as well! Also, he likes your personality and thinks you're cute, beautiful, and HOT! He would do anything just to go out with you, but he just doesn't have the guts!" Yui said teasingly.
Asuka starts blushing and smiles a little. Shinji starts blushing so much he thought he was going to explode. Well, at least he rather ran short on air and all went a little dizzy, and then he passed out again, and fell to the floor with another THUMP. Everyone looked down at him and starts to laugh. Rei joins with giggles.
As Yui laughed at his son's reaction, Asuka was still thinking at what Mrs. Ikari had just told her. She knew that that baka had feelings for her, but not something that deep. She blushed at the thought. Somewhere deep down knew that she really liked him too, but she couldn't admit it, yet.
Yui turned and saw that Asuka was deep in thought and was slightly blushing, she added, "I know Shinji will treat you very nice, he really cares for you."
"Yeah..." Asuka replies.
All of a sudden, a wicked smile appears on her face. She turns her head towards Gendo, and smiles evilly, "I almost forgot, I have some unfinished things that I have to attend to,"
She started proceeding towards her cowering victim. As she got closer, she noticed a very tall and elderly man. Fuyutski! She ran towards him while Gendo just hid behind him.
She started to talk to him, "Hi Mr. Fuyutski, long time no see. I see that you got older. hehehehe. Well, how has everything been going? I hope that Gendo here hasn't been bothering you too much, has he?" Yui asked.
"Hehehehe," Fuyutski chuckled heartily, "Yes, I've gotten older. Gendo here has put me in second in command, what else could I ask for. He sure did get a lot grumpier lately. Hmph, look at you, you still look as good as ever!" Fuyutski commented.
"Yeah," Yui said with a smile, "Well, I guess I'll stop chasing him for now, because you're guarding him, but trust me Gendo. I'LL BE BACK!"
Both Gendo and Fuyutski sweat drop.
"Well, right. I really want to spend time with Shinji, well you know, it has been 12 years since I saw him," Yui explained, "yeah, Gendo, I almost forgot. Since we're back now, well, you might consider buying a house, instead of sitting in your office in this command center every day! I'm going to stay with Misato and Shinji."
Gendo starts sweating, he didn't really have a house, "Yeah, sure you can live with them... for now..."
"Good, well, gotta get going, and don't forget that I still have to have revenge!!" Yui added.
Gendo seeing that Yui finally gotten a fair distance away, he sighed in relief, which he rarely does, and slumps in his chair. Yui finally made her way back to the group again. Seeing Asuka, Misato, and Rei towering over Shinji suggested that Shinji was still unconscious. As Yui approached, all three of them turned and looked at her.
"Well, It seems that Shinji still hasn't awakened yet... hmmm... Well, Misato, I was wondering if I could move in with you guys temporarily since Gendo over there doesn't even have a house!" Yui asked.
"Well... Yeah sure, I mean, you and Shinji can spend a lot of time together... In a way of making up those 12 years!" Misato agreed.
They finally decided that Yui would stay with them temporarily, and that she would share the room with Misato. Yui asked Rei where she was living at the moment, and she said at the area with the old apartments, near Tokyo-2 (I have no idea where she lives, only know what it looks like).
"You mean those shabby, crumbling looking apartments that I saw like 12 years ago. Man, I thought they were gonna tear it up already, It's so crappy. Oh yeah, why do you live there anyways? I mean, you could move in with Misato, I mean, that's where Shinji lives, and I will too... soon!" Yui asked.
"Well, Commander Ikari instructed me to live there, to sustain my social levels... Well, I would like to live with Katsuragi-san, Shinji, Asuka, and you... mother!" Rei said happily.
"Great... So... Gendo did this to you hunh... no wonder you seem a little... shy," Yui said, trying to choose the right words, "Now there is another reason for getting him, he has also ruined the life of my daughter!"
Yui looked up at Gendo again, found him gaping at Rei. She has never done anything that would disobey him, well other than the incident in Terminal Dogma where she ripped my arm off.
"Well... Let's get going, I think it is just right for dinner... Well, I would like to eat something after 12 years! Yeah... Asuka, you can carry Shinji to the car, hmm?" Yui asked.
"Hunh...? Oh yeah, sure," She replied, blushing.
"Yeah, I'm starving from today! The dinner's on me!" Misato said.
"No prob!" Yui said with a peace sign, (Does she do that? Kinda childish though) "Oh yeah Misato, do you have any extra clothe that I can wear? I don't want to walk around in public in a plug suit!"
"Yeah, sure... just follow me..." Misato said as she lead Yui to the changing rooms.
After like 30 minutes of changing and walking back, they finally arrived at the Command Center again. As they walked in, everyone stared at Yui and Misato. Misato was wearing her normal Commander Uniform, but with less clothe under the uniform. Yui wore a purple t-shirt with a pair of jeans. She also wore a pair of sunglasses like Misato did in the first few episodes.
Everyone kept staring at them, not able to take their eyes off of them. As the two walked towards the kids, Shinji started to stare at her mom and Misato. On top, Gendo and Fuyutski were sitting gaping at her.
"Yeah, I see she still has it in her... You're pretty lucky you have her!" Fuyutski commented.
"Yeah sure, having a killing wife chasing after you is "really" lucky!" Gendo said.
"Well, let's go!" Misato said.
They started towards the exit, turned through many turns and went through many doors.
"Hmm...," Yui exclaimed as she observed the paths, "It sure has changed since I was here... I mean, I basically built this place!"
After a little while later, Shinji started to stir once more from all the bangs and bumps he was receiving from being dragged around. Asuka noticed that Shinji started walking on his own again, and told Yui that Shinji was awake.
"Shinji... Well, just to fill you in on the things you missed... I'm going to stay with you guys until something more permanent. Also, your sister is going to with us too!"
Shinji's eyes started to bulge, two of the most beautiful girls he knew are now living with him! (I must be the luckiest teen on earth!) "Oh yeah, umm mom," Shinji said, still not a little used to the parent and sibling calling, "Where are we going now?"
"Oh right, we're going to a restaurant to have dinner, it was some time before I ate something," Yui said trying to make a joke, and failing miserably. Everyone sighed.
They continued their way, without much talk. Finally they reached the garage, Misato led them towards her blue sports car.
"Uhh, Misato, how are we going to fit five people in that car?" Shinji asked bewildered.
"Heh, umm... don't worry, I bet we'll fit in here somehow!" Misato finally said.
Finally after settling down in their seats, they started driving. Yui was sitting in the front with Misato, while the three kids were squished in the back, Rei on the left, Shinji in the middle, and Asuka on the right. Yui noticed how recklessly Misato drove, but once again, she knew this already from Shinji's thoughts. But this was a little more than she had expected, going over three times the speed limit. In the back, Rei was staring off into the scenery as the car passed houses and trees, etc.
Shinji was rather squished, but he also liked it because Asuka was pushed really close to him, he started to smile a little... Asuka noticing this, warned him, "Baka, you better not be having Hentai thoughts... You better not do something smart right now, or else I will throw you out of the car!" Asuka threatened.
Shinji smiled a little, it was the same old Asuka, and he noticed that most of the cruelty and malice in her tone were gone. She wasn't holding back her real self. Rather than threatening, it was rather teasing.
They finally arrived at the restaurant that Misato was driving them to. It just opened up, and streams of people walked in and out. It was enormous; it was like 30 times the size of Misato's apartment.
They quickly got out of the car and made way towards the restaurant. As they walked in, there was an enormous line that stretched from the front entrance to the back. The 5 of them sweat dropped. It was gonna take eons for them just to sit down. But that wasn't all that got their attention. The restaurant had a lower floor, with an orchestra, tapestries hung about, chandeliers hung from the ceilings, Waiters dressed in tuxes, carpets, and last of all, a balcony that housed more people, and it also lead to a big porch above it for romantic dinners. At the sight of all this, they finally noticed that this was one of those proper English diners, where everyone wears tuxes and dresses. All they had on were T-shirts, school uniforms, and Nerv Uniforms.
"Oh man, we should go somewhere else to eat, we're going to wait here until midnight, and we'll only be half-way there!" Asuka said.
"Grr, I just don't get it, there should be a place for "NERV personal only" tables!" Misato said rather pissed, since her stomach was growling so much, that people around them started looking at her.
"Oh my god! Can't we get some service here! Man... We've been saving everyone's ass, and what do we get. What... does Shinji have to pull off a stunt and shove a bomb up an angel's ass for us to have dinner!?!" Yui yelled hysterically.
At that precise moment, a waiter just walked by. Upon hearing the word Shinji and angels, made him stop dead in his track. He slowly turned his around to see where the sound came from. He spotted four beautiful ladies standing there, accompanied by a boy. That must be Shinji! Then the redhead must be Asuka! And the blue-hair must be Rei! Guess listening to the news and his son babbling about the Eva pilots finally paid off! He can finally meet the Eva pilots in person.
He slowly regained his posture and walked up to them. He cleared his throat and began talking, "If I may not be mistaking, you are all... Nerv personals, am I correct?"
Misato raised an eyebrow, "Yes... and, you here for... don't tell me, you actually came here to respond Yui's question!?!"
"No..." The man said, "But there is one table left on the very far corner in the balcony, I don't know if you would like to use-" The waiter never got to finish his sentence.
"Yes, of course... we'll take it!" Misato and Yui responded at once.
The waiter led them to the balcony. As they walked, everything was in the highest quality. The carpets had many intricate designs and patterns. The chandeliers had millions of what seemed like crystal shards, reflecting light rays that were emitted from the lights. As they started to walk up towards the balcony, Shinji noticed that the handrails and the steps and all were all made out of jade, and a red carpet ran down the middle. As they finally made it up to the top, the waiter led them to the table. It was made for 5 people, and it had a candle in the middle. Glasses, forks, spoons, napkins, plates, bowls, etc. were all placed there in a certain order.
As they sat down and looked at the menu, they were greeted by weird looking words that had slashes and curves, dots and random letters. (Trying to describe English, it is kinda hard to though, lol!) All of them save Asuka raise an eyebrow and sweat drop. They had no clue to what it said. Apparently, Asuka took notice and helped everyone to order a dish that seemed good to her.
"Umm, Asuka..." Shinji started asking as the waiter went away, "What did you order us?"
"Don't you trust me, baka?" Asuka replied.
Shinji said nothing. Just stared at the plate in front of him. He finally decided to say something.
"Yes I do, but..." Shinji started.
"But what, hunh?" Asuka teased.
"Well, I never really had American food before, so I don't know if any of it would taste good to me," Shinji said.
"Don't worry," Asuka said with a wink, "I haven't had at least half of these, so I picked all the most expensive ones, so it must be really good to be so expensive.
At this, Misato's eye brows start twitching violently and she raises her fist shakily, "Asuka, you realize that I would have to pay for all that, don't you!?!"
"Oh... hehehe... sorry, I forgot," Asuka said with an innocent smile. At this, if it wasn't for the waiter, Misato would've basically choked Asuka. The waiter walked in with a smile on and put out all the food. They took one look at it and were at once drooling. Before they started to eat, the waiter asked the Eva pilots a small favor.
"I got a favor for you guys, I don't know if it is okay with you?" The waiter asked a little nervous.
"Yeah, go ahead, what is it?" Yui asked.
"Well, my son is really a big fan and all of the Evas, I was wondering if I could have a picture with all of you to take home to show my son?" the waiter asked.
"Yeah, no prob!" Asuka yelled happily.
"Great," Shinji said.
The waiter got a one-use camera and asked another waiter to take a picture of them. After about 2 minutes, it was all done. Then the waiter had another request.
"I have another small favor to ask," The waiter said.
"Yeah, go ahead..." Misato said, a little annoyed now.
"Can the pilots sign the photo please!" The waiter asked.
Both Yui and Misato fall down, apparently, they weren't really that "Important" enough.
"Uh, sure," Shinji replied.
The waiter got out a pen and handed it to each of the pilots as they took turns in signing the photo.
"Thanks again... oh yeah, please enjoy the meal. Also, if you wish, you may go into the large porch on top, no one's there tonight," The waiter said smiling, and walked away.
"Good, now that's over," Misato said a little nerved.
"So, let's eat," Yui said, and they started to chow down, not literally, but properly dine.
After a minute, Shinji noticed that Rei has not touched her food. He looked at the plate and remembered that she only liked vegetables.
"Um, Rei..." Shinji started.
"Yes..." Rei replied.
"You should try it, just to taste a little bit of everything, you know," Shinji started saying.
"Shinji's right, yeah, go ahead, try it..." Yui said.
Rei nodded and sliced a little piece of roasted meat and gently placed it into her mouth.
"Mmmm, it is good. I never knew meat can taste this good!" Rei exclaimed.
* Back at Nerv Headquarters *
"Well, that is over..." Fuyutski stated.
"Yes..." Gendo said, staring blackly at the wall, thinking of what Yui said, "I think I'll go take a rest... at my home... away from this place."
Fuyutski looked at him once and turned around again, "I can understand... I'll take command while you're gone."
"No, take a rest, so will most of the staff, they get a rest too, besides the angels are gone right," Gendo said, apparently hiding something.
"... Right," Fuyutski said after consideration. He hasn't seen Gendo like this since they first met.
* Back at the restaurant *
Shinji was one of the first to finish his dinner. He had nothing else interesting to do other than staring at Asuka, which he knows that he'll be picked on or teased, especially with his mother there. He finally decided to go to the porch to look at the stars. He stood up and told everyone that he was going to look at the stars. After he opened and closed the doors, Yui finished and followed him, leaving Rei, Asuka, and Misato behind, eating... not talking. Misato was still somewhat pissed off at what Asuka just did to her money.
"Shinji..." Yui said.
Shinji spun around, "Oh... hey mom."
"Look... I gotta tell you something important that only I know at the moment. Do you want to hear it? It is very important that you tell no one else, understand," Yui said instructively.
"Uh... Okay, I'm ready," Shinji replied.
"You know the zodiacs right?" Yui asked.
Shinji nodded.
"Good. You know and understand that you have destroyed all 17 angels, right?" Yui asked.
"Yes," Shinji replied, thinking of the last angel,
"Shinji... they're not the last and only ones... How would I say this, it's so complicating... Well, the 17 you destroyed were apparently the ones that were sent to earth and were to destroy earth if it wasn't for Evas. Now, there are another 12 angels, and are in the forms of the different zodiacs. They were assigned secondary... Guardians or... Bodyguards for example, they are harder to beat, you have to think of a way to destroy them one way or the other. They're going to come here to finish the job that the last 17 didn't," Yui said slowly.
Shinji stood there, gaping. Now he had to fight 12 more angels, and one of them will be a monkey! What the hell is going to happen next! He knew that there was something wrong with the animals!
"Uhh, Shinji... you still there?" Yui asked as she waved a hand up and down of Shinji's face.
"Yeah... I guess I would need a lot of luck then..." Shinji said trying to be excited.
"No, you won't, two new Evas are almost ready to fight with you!" Yui said happily.
Shinji didn't seem too happy about it, He didn't want Toji pilot the Eva again. He still remembers what happened last time he did.
"Is Toji going to pilot again?" Shinji asked.
"Yes... But somehow he has limbs restored and they all seem fine and functional," Yui said.
Shinji was both happy and sad for him. He was happy that he has his arms and legs back, probably due to his wish to bring everything back to normal, and the sad part was that he had to get inside that monster again!
"Oh..." Shinji managed to get out.
* In the Cage of EVA 01 *
It was all dark, due to the lights that were turned off. (duh) All of a sudden, The Eva's eyes started to glow yellowish orange, and the chest armor plate slid open, revealing the S2 organ. It started to glow, emitting orange glows everywhere. All of a sudden, it stopped and receded. The armor slid back into place, and it all turned quiet again, as if nothing happened. All of a sudden, a figure started to materialize on the bridge in front of the Eva. After a few minutes, the figure became more and more solid. It had silver hair that was short. It wore the regular school uniform. After finishing materializing, it opened its eyes, which were red and breathed in the air.
"I bring word for Shinji only," Kauro solemnly. (Is that how you spell his name?)
* At Gendo and Yui's first house *
A solitude figure walked into a long abandoned room in a grand apartment building. He slightly opened the door and looked in. No one was living here as he had ordered. He slowly stepped in, the dust nearly an inch tall. He walked into each room observing the scene before him, just the way he and Yui had left it. He slowly walked into the kitchen, then to the living room, then to Yui's, or his own room, then finally into the room that Shinji used to occupy. He walked in more, and observed how desolate it was. He looked at the bed sheets and how little furniture it had; a bed with white sheets, a table for studying, and a drawer. He wished he could've done more than he had, and Shinji deserved better things.
"I'm going to somehow make things up to you... Shinji," Gendo said silently.
* Back at the Restaurant *
"Man, what're they doing out there for so long?" Misato asked.
"Dunno... I'll go check it out," Asuka said.
As she got to the door, she was about to turn the handle when she heard them talking and decided to eavesdrop and see what they're talking about.
"I don't know how to tell Asuka about this... after what happened to her during Third Impact..." Shinji said.
"I know..." Yui said sympathetically, "one more thing before I leave, it is a little chilly, every time you activate the Eva, I would have to either merge with Eva for you to have full power, or without me merging, would result the Eva with only half its power and can't go berserk... As you see, I act almost as its soul... Well, I'll leave you to your star gazing!"
Yui turned and headed towards the door, quickly grabbed the handle, turned and pushed. Asuka quickly jumped out the way, trying not to be seen.
"So... how much did you listen on to?" Yui asked.
"Umm... just a little, just the ending part about something about the Eva and something about a monkey... I swear!" Asuka stammered. It wasn't usual for her to stammer, but somehow Yui's appearance makes her feel awkward.
Yui smiled warmly at Asuka and sat down at the table again and joined in with the conversation that Rei and Misato were having. Asuka decided to go outside and see what the baka was doing.
"So..." Asuka said.
"Hunh?" Shinji replied, totally unaware of Asuka's presence.
"What you doing?" Asuka asked.
"Umm... just looking at the stars," Shinji stammered slightly.
Asuka approached him and leaned on the rail too by his side. Shinji started to sweat and started to have thoughts. Shinji forced himself not to look at her, but failed miserably; the more he tried not to look, the more he did.
"What you lookin' at?" Asuka asked as she noticed Shinji staring at her.
"Oh... nothing," Shinji replied hurriedly.
Asuka knew that he was afraid to express his feelings so she started to move closer to him just to see his reactions. Shinji at once started to squirm and sweat a lot more. He turned and stared into her blue eyes. He could not take his eyes away from them, they were so beautiful.
"Shinji..." Asuka said as she for some reason just leaned forward, preparing either for a hug, kiss, or just to fall on him.
For some reason, Shinji reacted differently and backed away causing her to fall to the ground in front of him.
She jumped back up furiously, "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!" Asuka screamed as she started towards Shinji.
Shinji immediately backed away a little and noticed that he was tightly pressed up against the wall. He had no choice but to stay there, waiting in horror in what Asuka was going to do to him. Asuka, on the contrary, was thinking of how to please him or rather to give him a nosebleed. She thought of a perfect way to do that, after all, their last kiss didn't go really that well. She took another step and tripped on purpose and fell. Shinji had no choice but to catch her, if he didn't, he would've been dead. As she fell down, her hair swung around loosely in the wind. He caught her body and wrapped his arm around her body and pulled her up to a standing position. He didn't realize that he was holding Asuka in a hug and rather tightly around the waist. Asuka on the other hand, was enjoying it a lot more. It was all going well...
"Shinji..." Asuka tried again and leaned forward.
"Rei, could you check on them, see if they're all right..." Yui said with a wink.
Rei stood up and walked towards the door, opened it and looked around. She didn't see them until her eyes caught on to a red color in the far right hand corner. It was Asuka, and Shinji was backed up against the wall, and they were kissing...
Rei walked back and closed the door. She sat down and resumed eating.
"So..." Yui asked.
"Seems like they're having fun," Rei said.
"Well, it seems like we have ta go now, I'll get them, ok," Misato said. Both Rei and Yui nodded.
As Misato opened the door, she saw Shinji and Asuka next to each other near the rails staring at the stars, not speaking...
(Misato: Hmm, I swear they were doing something a minute ago... hmmm)
"Hey, Shinji, Asuka, let's go!" Misato said as they followed her back in.
As they walked back in, Yui handed Misato the check. Misato's eyes started to bulge.
She took another look at the check before saying, "Asuka, how would you like to eat my cooking for a week?" Misato said evilly.
"Uhh..." Asuka responded with a sweat drop and eyes twitching, "What for"
"THIS," Misato yelled pointing at the Check, "and Shinji, you're not allowed to cook, except when I'm not home..."
"Uhh, ok..." Shinji replied, not really caring at the moment.
"Well, let's go then..." Yui said.
"Yeah, sure..." Misato said, really pissed off.
They exited the restaurant and said "Thank you" to the man in the front desk and squeezed into the small blue sports car again. They started to go home.

Chapter 10 Yui's Revenge and Secrets Unveiled.
(Continuation from last chapter... Yui gets really pissed and yells at Gendo to come down, then Shinji faints, then it goes on... enjoy)
"GENDO, WHAT'S TAKING YOU THAT LONG!!!! GET DOWN HERE NOW! I NEED TO TALK TO YOU PERSONALLY!!" Yui raged on.
"Okay, ok, ok..." Gendo's words fading, walking towards the elevator shaft like a lost puppy.
Fuyutski slightly chuckled at Gendo, not daring him to see him laugh at him. Shinji was still lying on the ground unconscious. Three women hung over him, looking at him. Shinji slowly started turning his head this way and that, but not opening his eyes. Slowly, he mouthed the word, "Mom..."
Asuka looked at him adorably and whispered, "Aww, Shinji schaut gerade, wenn er schlaft, oder sollte ich sagen so nett, unbewußt. Aber nichtsdestoweniger, beginne ich, gesorgt zu erhalten." (Aww, Shinji just looks so cute when he's asleep, or should I say, unconscious. But nonetheless, I'm starting to get worried)
Both Rei and Misato looked up at Asuka in wonder. Asuka looked up, surprised that they could hear such low noise.
"Asuka, I know that you mean well for Shinji and all, but did I catch you just say wiener?" Misato asked rather annoyed.
"Grr, I was speaking German!" Asuka yelled frustrated.
* At the Eva 01 cage *
Gendo finally lingers his until he finally arrives in front of his "so" long lost wife. A few minutes ago, he was still pretty determined to bring her back, but now, he wasn't quite sure if that is the right decision. Gendo just stood there, frozen in place, guilt plagued him, while sweat starts to form on his forehead.
"Yeah, you sure ought to be guilty and aware right now," Yui replied after taking in his appearance, for once not shouting, "You haven't changed one bit since I left you, which sometimes gets me really pissed..."
"Yui, there is nothing to worry, you're back with me now, we'll be a normal family again, with Shinji..." Gendo stopped as Yui came closer.
"If you noticed... YOU HAVE DONE A PRETTY GOOD JOB OF SCREWING HIS LIFE UP!! THEN YOU PLAN ONE OF THESE RATHER SUICIDAL MISSIONS THAT INVOVLE HUMANITY DYING JUST TO BE WITH ME!! WHAT KIND OF BASTARD ARE YOU" Yui yelled, making Gendo cower in fear.
"Right, about Shinji... hmmm... YOU RAISE HIM UP FOR LIKE AYEAR. THEN YOU DUMP HIM ON THE STREETS, AND THEN YOU MAKE HIM COME BACK AND PILOT EVA 01! I'M GONNA GET YOU..." Yui screamed, really pissed.
Even though the people in the command room can open a screen shot footage LIVE of the cage of EVA 01, they can hear pretty well what Yui is saying.
Shinji woke up, without anyone noticing because they were busy listening to what Yui had in store for him after 12 years.
He sat up, "Uhhh, guys?" Shinji asked.
Both Misato and Asuka jump back in fear screaming "AHHHHH" while Rei just gives him a little smile, which Shinji tries to return. Shinji at once noticed the racket being heard coming from the cage.
"Maya, quickly, put on the cage of EVA 01 on screen, NOW!" Ritsuko yelled.
As the charts in front of the command center flickered and was replaced with the footage, everyone fell down at once (I mean Everyone). On screen, you could decently see a Mad crazy Yui chasing a hysterical Gendo, over land or water. Yui threw everything she could find at him. When finally Gendo ran for the elevators. Yui followed not allowing his prey to escape from her wrath.
"YOU GET BACK HERE, YOU HEAR GENDO IKARI!!! I'M NOT DONE YET!" Yui roared as she picked a screwdriver and chucked it at him.
"Oh crap, I knew this wasn't going to go well, Third Impact would be less painful than this!" Gendo whispered to himself as he ran for the elevator, occasionally getting hit by various items.
As he made it to the doors and frantically punching in numbers to open the door, two hands grabbed him from the back and hauled him away from the elevator, ripping off the dial pad in the process. As Yui and Gendo start the chase again, the personals of the command center were sweat dropping, falling down, eyes twitching, etc. Most of them just followed their chase with their eyes moving back and forth, following the bodies running around on screen.
"OH YEAH, BOUT REI, YOU REALLY SCREWED HER LIFE UP AS WELL! WHAT KIND OF PERSON ARE YOU!!" Yui screamed again.
Gendo was running out of places to hide and run. He took another look at the elevator, it was his only option. He noticed that the door was ajar. He made a dash for it. Yui noticing this ran after him too.
Gendo thought to himself, "Crap, if she gets in there either before or with me, I'm as well as dead!"
Just as Gendo jumped into the elevator, the door however didn't shut due to the ripped out panel, and in came the rampaging Yui. Gendo started sweating and eye twitching so much; it looked like he was twitching.
"Ha, now I have you where I want..." Yui said as she started to put some sense into him, since words didn't really penetrate his thick skull.
As they started ascending up in the elevator, everyone in the command center turned their attention at the shaft. Everyone started to move to the opposite corner just in case. As the the elevator stopped at the level with a CLUNK, everyone gulped as to what they expected. As the door opened, you could see that Gendo was rather red all over and Yui getting ready to slap him again. Gendo seeing his way out again, started to desperatly run out and towards his desk again. Yui started running after him again and cursing when she noticed everyone including Shinji, Asuka, Rei, and Misato backed up against a corner. She stopped the pursuit for now, and made her way towards the group. Upon seeing her approach some of them started to sweat drop, but Shinji decided that since it was his mother, there was nothing to be afraid of. He walked up to her and stood there. They stood there looking at each other for moments, which seemed like years to them. Finally Yui smiled gently, which caused many to sigh in relief, and grabbed Shinji in a tight, but warm embrace. Finally, Shinji returned the embrace and started sobbing a little.
"Hmm, don't tell me that you're crying, Shinji..." Yui asked.
Wiping his tears away, "Mom, I missed you so much... You're finally back again!" Shinji said as he embraced his mother once more.
At that moment, Misato straightened her self and walked over a little. Yui looked up at the person that was approaching them slowly. She realized that she was Misato that he has heard Shinji talk about in the Eva.
"So you're Misato?" Yui asked.
"Hunh, how do you know my name?" Misato asked puzzled. "Why, Shinji always speaks of you in the Eva... From what I heard, you've been acting like a mother to him and caring for him, I really appreciate that... Shinji thinks highly of you!" Yui exclaimed.
Misato was rather embarrassed and happy at the same moment. She blushed slightly and smiled. Rei slowly walked up next. Yui turned her head and noticed the Blue head.
"So, you're Rei... I haven't gotten a good chance to look at you since you were born, since I was absorbed already," Yui said.
"Hello Mrs. Ikari, I haven't had a chance to see you either, it is a pleasure!" Rei said.
"Why, you look awfully a lot like me, rather than Gendo!" Yui exclaimed.
"Hmm?" Rei asked puzzled.
"You are my daughter after all," Yui said.
"Yes, I would seem so since that Shinji is my brother, and you are his mom, then I guess I'm your daughter," Rei said.
"So I guess that you are now part of our family!" Yui said happily.
After that, Asuka finally walked up. Yui looked up again and faced the red- head.
"So... you're the Great Asuka I've heard about from Shinji!" Yui said with a warm, but teasing look.
"What? How do you know that, I thought you couldn't interact with the outside world while you were in that machine!" Asuka asked.
"No, I was reading his thoughts and memories, they were rather interesting!" Yui exclaimed.
Both teens blush at this.
"Well, if you didn't notice Asuka, Shinji fancies you! He always thinks about you in the plug, and he thinks that your hair and eyes go together as well! Also, he likes your personality and thinks you're cute, beautiful, and HOT! He would do anything just to go out with you, but he just doesn't have the guts!" Yui said teasingly.
Asuka starts blushing and smiles a little. Shinji starts blushing so much he thought he was going to explode. Well, at least he rather ran short on air and all went a little dizzy, and then he passed out again, and fell to the floor with another THUMP. Everyone looked down at him and starts to laugh. Rei joins with giggles.
As Yui laughed at his son's reaction, Asuka was still thinking at what Mrs. Ikari had just told her. She knew that that baka had feelings for her, but not something that deep. She blushed at the thought. Somewhere deep down knew that she really liked him too, but she couldn't admit it, yet.
Yui turned and saw that Asuka was deep in thought and was slightly blushing, she added, "I know Shinji will treat you very nice, he really cares for you."
"Yeah..." Asuka replies.
All of a sudden, a wicked smile appears on her face. She turns her head towards Gendo, and smiles evilly, "I almost forgot, I have some unfinished things that I have to attend to,"
She started proceeding towards her cowering victim. As she got closer, she noticed a very tall and elderly man. Fuyutski! She ran towards him while Gendo just hid behind him.
She started to talk to him, "Hi Mr. Fuyutski, long time no see. I see that you got older. hehehehe. Well, how has everything been going? I hope that Gendo here hasn't been bothering you too much, has he?" Yui asked.
"Hehehehe," Fuyutski chuckled heartily, "Yes, I've gotten older. Gendo here has put me in second in command, what else could I ask for. He sure did get a lot grumpier lately. Hmph, look at you, you still look as good as ever!" Fuyutski commented.
"Yeah," Yui said with a smile, "Well, I guess I'll stop chasing him for now, because you're guarding him, but trust me Gendo. I'LL BE BACK!"
Both Gendo and Fuyutski sweat drop.
"Well, right. I really want to spend time with Shinji, well you know, it has been 12 years since I saw him," Yui explained, "yeah, Gendo, I almost forgot. Since we're back now, well, you might consider buying a house, instead of sitting in your office in this command center every day! I'm going to stay with Misato and Shinji."
Gendo starts sweating, he didn't really have a house, "Yeah, sure you can live with them... for now..."
"Good, well, gotta get going, and don't forget that I still have to have revenge!!" Yui added.
Gendo seeing that Yui finally gotten a fair distance away, he sighed in relief, which he rarely does, and slumps in his chair. Yui finally made her way back to the group again. Seeing Asuka, Misato, and Rei towering over Shinji suggested that Shinji was still unconscious. As Yui approached, all three of them turned and looked at her.
"Well, It seems that Shinji still hasn't awakened yet... hmmm... Well, Misato, I was wondering if I could move in with you guys temporarily since Gendo over there doesn't even have a house!" Yui asked.
"Well... Yeah sure, I mean, you and Shinji can spend a lot of time together... In a way of making up those 12 years!" Misato agreed.
They finally decided that Yui would stay with them temporarily, and that she would share the room with Misato. Yui asked Rei where she was living at the moment, and she said at the area with the old apartments, near Tokyo-2 (I have no idea where she lives, only know what it looks like).
"You mean those shabby, crumbling looking apartments that I saw like 12 years ago. Man, I thought they were gonna tear it up already, It's so crappy. Oh yeah, why do you live there anyways? I mean, you could move in with Misato, I mean, that's where Shinji lives, and I will too... soon!" Yui asked.
"Well, Commander Ikari instructed me to live there, to sustain my social levels... Well, I would like to live with Katsuragi-san, Shinji, Asuka, and you... mother!" Rei said happily.
"Great... So... Gendo did this to you hunh... no wonder you seem a little... shy," Yui said, trying to choose the right words, "Now there is another reason for getting him, he has also ruined the life of my daughter!"
Yui looked up at Gendo again, found him gaping at Rei. She has never done anything that would disobey him, well other than the incident in Terminal Dogma where she ripped my arm off.
"Well... Let's get going, I think it is just right for dinner... Well, I would like to eat something after 12 years! Yeah... Asuka, you can carry Shinji to the car, hmm?" Yui asked.
"Hunh...? Oh yeah, sure," She replied, blushing.
"Yeah, I'm starving from today! The dinner's on me!" Misato said.
"No prob!" Yui said with a peace sign, (Does she do that? Kinda childish though) "Oh yeah Misato, do you have any extra clothe that I can wear? I don't want to walk around in public in a plug suit!"
"Yeah, sure... just follow me..." Misato said as she lead Yui to the changing rooms.
After like 30 minutes of changing and walking back, they finally arrived at the Command Center again. As they walked in, everyone stared at Yui and Misato. Misato was wearing her normal Commander Uniform, but with less clothe under the uniform. Yui wore a purple t-shirt with a pair of jeans. She also wore a pair of sunglasses like Misato did in the first few episodes.
Everyone kept staring at them, not able to take their eyes off of them. As the two walked towards the kids, Shinji started to stare at her mom and Misato. On top, Gendo and Fuyutski were sitting gaping at her.
"Yeah, I see she still has it in her... You're pretty lucky you have her!" Fuyutski commented.
"Yeah sure, having a killing wife chasing after you is "really" lucky!" Gendo said.
"Well, let's go!" Misato said.
They started towards the exit, turned through many turns and went through many doors.
"Hmm...," Yui exclaimed as she observed the paths, "It sure has changed since I was here... I mean, I basically built this place!"
After a little while later, Shinji started to stir once more from all the bangs and bumps he was receiving from being dragged around. Asuka noticed that Shinji started walking on his own again, and told Yui that Shinji was awake.
"Shinji... Well, just to fill you in on the things you missed... I'm going to stay with you guys until something more permanent. Also, your sister is going to with us too!"
Shinji's eyes started to bulge, two of the most beautiful girls he knew are now living with him! (I must be the luckiest teen on earth!) "Oh yeah, umm mom," Shinji said, still not a little used to the parent and sibling calling, "Where are we going now?"
"Oh right, we're going to a restaurant to have dinner, it was some time before I ate something," Yui said trying to make a joke, and failing miserably. Everyone sighed.
They continued their way, without much talk. Finally they reached the garage, Misato led them towards her blue sports car.
"Uhh, Misato, how are we going to fit five people in that car?" Shinji asked bewildered.
"Heh, umm... don't worry, I bet we'll fit in here somehow!" Misato finally said.
Finally after settling down in their seats, they started driving. Yui was sitting in the front with Misato, while the three kids were squished in the back, Rei on the left, Shinji in the middle, and Asuka on the right. Yui noticed how recklessly Misato drove, but once again, she knew this already from Shinji's thoughts. But this was a little more than she had expected, going over three times the speed limit. In the back, Rei was staring off into the scenery as the car passed houses and trees, etc.
Shinji was rather squished, but he also liked it because Asuka was pushed really close to him, he started to smile a little... Asuka noticing this, warned him, "Baka, you better not be having Hentai thoughts... You better not do something smart right now, or else I will throw you out of the car!" Asuka threatened.
Shinji smiled a little, it was the same old Asuka, and he noticed that most of the cruelty and malice in her tone were gone. She wasn't holding back her real self. Rather than threatening, it was rather teasing.
They finally arrived at the restaurant that Misato was driving them to. It just opened up, and streams of people walked in and out. It was enormous; it was like 30 times the size of Misato's apartment.
They quickly got out of the car and made way towards the restaurant. As they walked in, there was an enormous line that stretched from the front entrance to the back. The 5 of them sweat dropped. It was gonna take eons for them just to sit down. But that wasn't all that got their attention. The restaurant had a lower floor, with an orchestra, tapestries hung about, chandeliers hung from the ceilings, Waiters dressed in tuxes, carpets, and last of all, a balcony that housed more people, and it also lead to a big porch above it for romantic dinners. At the sight of all this, they finally noticed that this was one of those proper English diners, where everyone wears tuxes and dresses. All they had on were T-shirts, school uniforms, and Nerv Uniforms.
"Oh man, we should go somewhere else to eat, we're going to wait here until midnight, and we'll only be half-way there!" Asuka said.
"Grr, I just don't get it, there should be a place for "NERV personal only" tables!" Misato said rather pissed, since her stomach was growling so much, that people around them started looking at her.
"Oh my god! Can't we get some service here! Man... We've been saving everyone's ass, and what do we get. What... does Shinji have to pull off a stunt and shove a bomb up an angel's ass for us to have dinner!?!" Yui yelled hysterically.
At that precise moment, a waiter just walked by. Upon hearing the word Shinji and angels, made him stop dead in his track. He slowly turned his around to see where the sound came from. He spotted four beautiful ladies standing there, accompanied by a boy. That must be Shinji! Then the redhead must be Asuka! And the blue-hair must be Rei! Guess listening to the news and his son babbling about the Eva pilots finally paid off! He can finally meet the Eva pilots in person.
He slowly regained his posture and walked up to them. He cleared his throat and began talking, "If I may not be mistaking, you are all... Nerv personals, am I correct?"
Misato raised an eyebrow, "Yes... and, you here for... don't tell me, you actually came here to respond Yui's question!?!"
"No..." The man said, "But there is one table left on the very far corner in the balcony, I don't know if you would like to use-" The waiter never got to finish his sentence.
"Yes, of course... we'll take it!" Misato and Yui responded at once.
The waiter led them to the balcony. As they walked, everything was in the highest quality. The carpets had many intricate designs and patterns. The chandeliers had millions of what seemed like crystal shards, reflecting light rays that were emitted from the lights. As they started to walk up towards the balcony, Shinji noticed that the handrails and the steps and all were all made out of jade, and a red carpet ran down the middle. As they finally made it up to the top, the waiter led them to the table. It was made for 5 people, and it had a candle in the middle. Glasses, forks, spoons, napkins, plates, bowls, etc. were all placed there in a certain order.
As they sat down and looked at the menu, they were greeted by weird looking words that had slashes and curves, dots and random letters. (Trying to describe English, it is kinda hard to though, lol!) All of them save Asuka raise an eyebrow and sweat drop. They had no clue to what it said. Apparently, Asuka took notice and helped everyone to order a dish that seemed good to her.
"Umm, Asuka..." Shinji started asking as the waiter went away, "What did you order us?"
"Don't you trust me, baka?" Asuka replied.
Shinji said nothing. Just stared at the plate in front of him. He finally decided to say something.
"Yes I do, but..." Shinji started.
"But what, hunh?" Asuka teased.
"Well, I never really had American food before, so I don't know if any of it would taste good to me," Shinji said.
"Don't worry," Asuka said with a wink, "I haven't had at least half of these, so I picked all the most expensive ones, so it must be really good to be so expensive.
At this, Misato's eye brows start twitching violently and she raises her fist shakily, "Asuka, you realize that I would have to pay for all that, don't you!?!"
"Oh... hehehe... sorry, I forgot," Asuka said with an innocent smile. At this, if it wasn't for the waiter, Misato would've basically choked Asuka. The waiter walked in with a smile on and put out all the food. They took one look at it and were at once drooling. Before they started to eat, the waiter asked the Eva pilots a small favor.
"I got a favor for you guys, I don't know if it is okay with you?" The waiter asked a little nervous.
"Yeah, go ahead, what is it?" Yui asked.
"Well, my son is really a big fan and all of the Evas, I was wondering if I could have a picture with all of you to take home to show my son?" the waiter asked.
"Yeah, no prob!" Asuka yelled happily.
"Great," Shinji said.
The waiter got a one-use camera and asked another waiter to take a picture of them. After about 2 minutes, it was all done. Then the waiter had another request.
"I have another small favor to ask," The waiter said.
"Yeah, go ahead..." Misato said, a little annoyed now.
"Can the pilots sign the photo please!" The waiter asked.
Both Yui and Misato fall down, apparently, they weren't really that "Important" enough.
"Uh, sure," Shinji replied.
The waiter got out a pen and handed it to each of the pilots as they took turns in signing the photo.
"Thanks again... oh yeah, please enjoy the meal. Also, if you wish, you may go into the large porch on top, no one's there tonight," The waiter said smiling, and walked away.
"Good, now that's over," Misato said a little nerved.
"So, let's eat," Yui said, and they started to chow down, not literally, but properly dine.
After a minute, Shinji noticed that Rei has not touched her food. He looked at the plate and remembered that she only liked vegetables.
"Um, Rei..." Shinji started.
"Yes..." Rei replied.
"You should try it, just to taste a little bit of everything, you know," Shinji started saying.
"Shinji's right, yeah, go ahead, try it..." Yui said.
Rei nodded and sliced a little piece of roasted meat and gently placed it into her mouth.
"Mmmm, it is good. I never knew meat can taste this good!" Rei exclaimed.
* Back at Nerv Headquarters *
"Well, that is over..." Fuyutski stated.
"Yes..." Gendo said, staring blackly at the wall, thinking of what Yui said, "I think I'll go take a rest... at my home... away from this place."
Fuyutski looked at him once and turned around again, "I can understand... I'll take command while you're gone."
"No, take a rest, so will most of the staff, they get a rest too, besides the angels are gone right," Gendo said, apparently hiding something.
"... Right," Fuyutski said after consideration. He hasn't seen Gendo like this since they first met.
* Back at the restaurant *
Shinji was one of the first to finish his dinner. He had nothing else interesting to do other than staring at Asuka, which he knows that he'll be picked on or teased, especially with his mother there. He finally decided to go to the porch to look at the stars. He stood up and told everyone that he was going to look at the stars. After he opened and closed the doors, Yui finished and followed him, leaving Rei, Asuka, and Misato behind, eating... not talking. Misato was still somewhat pissed off at what Asuka just did to her money.
"Shinji..." Yui said.
Shinji spun around, "Oh... hey mom."
"Look... I gotta tell you something important that only I know at the moment. Do you want to hear it? It is very important that you tell no one else, understand," Yui said instructively.
"Uh... Okay, I'm ready," Shinji replied.
"You know the zodiacs right?" Yui asked.
Shinji nodded.
"Good. You know and understand that you have destroyed all 17 angels, right?" Yui asked.
"Yes," Shinji replied, thinking of the last angel,
"Shinji... they're not the last and only ones... How would I say this, it's so complicating... Well, the 17 you destroyed were apparently the ones that were sent to earth and were to destroy earth if it wasn't for Evas. Now, there are another 12 angels, and are in the forms of the different zodiacs. They were assigned secondary... Guardians or... Bodyguards for example, they are harder to beat, you have to think of a way to destroy them one way or the other. They're going to come here to finish the job that the last 17 didn't," Yui said slowly.
Shinji stood there, gaping. Now he had to fight 12 more angels, and one of them will be a monkey! What the hell is going to happen next! He knew that there was something wrong with the animals!
"Uhh, Shinji... you still there?" Yui asked as she waved a hand up and down of Shinji's face.
"Yeah... I guess I would need a lot of luck then..." Shinji said trying to be excited.
"No, you won't, two new Evas are almost ready to fight with you!" Yui said happily.
Shinji didn't seem too happy about it, He didn't want Toji pilot the Eva again. He still remembers what happened last time he did.
"Is Toji going to pilot again?" Shinji asked.
"Yes... But somehow he has limbs restored and they all seem fine and functional," Yui said.
Shinji was both happy and sad for him. He was happy that he has his arms and legs back, probably due to his wish to bring everything back to normal, and the sad part was that he had to get inside that monster again!
"Oh..." Shinji managed to get out.
* In the Cage of EVA 01 *
It was all dark, due to the lights that were turned off. (duh) All of a sudden, The Eva's eyes started to glow yellowish orange, and the chest armor plate slid open, revealing the S2 organ. It started to glow, emitting orange glows everywhere. All of a sudden, it stopped and receded. The armor slid back into place, and it all turned quiet again, as if nothing happened. All of a sudden, a figure started to materialize on the bridge in front of the Eva. After a few minutes, the figure became more and more solid. It had silver hair that was short. It wore the regular school uniform. After finishing materializing, it opened its eyes, which were red and breathed in the air.
"I bring word for Shinji only," Kauro solemnly. (Is that how you spell his name?)
* At Gendo and Yui's first house *
A solitude figure walked into a long abandoned room in a grand apartment building. He slightly opened the door and looked in. No one was living here as he had ordered. He slowly stepped in, the dust nearly an inch tall. He walked into each room observing the scene before him, just the way he and Yui had left it. He slowly walked into the kitchen, then to the living room, then to Yui's, or his own room, then finally into the room that Shinji used to occupy. He walked in more, and observed how desolate it was. He looked at the bed sheets and how little furniture it had; a bed with white sheets, a table for studying, and a drawer. He wished he could've done more than he had, and Shinji deserved better things.
"I'm going to somehow make things up to you... Shinji," Gendo said silently.
* Back at the Restaurant *
"Man, what're they doing out there for so long?" Misato asked.
"Dunno... I'll go check it out," Asuka said.
As she got to the door, she was about to turn the handle when she heard them talking and decided to eavesdrop and see what they're talking about.
"I don't know how to tell Asuka about this... after what happened to her during Third Impact..." Shinji said.
"I know..." Yui said sympathetically, "one more thing before I leave, it is a little chilly, every time you activate the Eva, I would have to either merge with Eva for you to have full power, or without me merging, would result the Eva with only half its power and can't go berserk... As you see, I act almost as its soul... Well, I'll leave you to your star gazing!"
Yui turned and headed towards the door, quickly grabbed the handle, turned and pushed. Asuka quickly jumped out the way, trying not to be seen.
"So... how much did you listen on to?" Yui asked.
"Umm... just a little, just the ending part about something about the Eva and something about a monkey... I swear!" Asuka stammered. It wasn't usual for her to stammer, but somehow Yui's appearance makes her feel awkward.
Yui smiled warmly at Asuka and sat down at the table again and joined in with the conversation that Rei and Misato were having. Asuka decided to go outside and see what the baka was doing.
"So..." Asuka said.
"Hunh?" Shinji replied, totally unaware of Asuka's presence.
"What you doing?" Asuka asked.
"Umm... just looking at the stars," Shinji stammered slightly.
Asuka approached him and leaned on the rail too by his side. Shinji started to sweat and started to have thoughts. Shinji forced himself not to look at her, but failed miserably; the more he tried not to look, the more he did.
"What you lookin' at?" Asuka asked as she noticed Shinji staring at her.
"Oh... nothing," Shinji replied hurriedly.
Asuka knew that he was afraid to express his feelings so she started to move closer to him just to see his reactions. Shinji at once started to squirm and sweat a lot more. He turned and stared into her blue eyes. He could not take his eyes away from them, they were so beautiful.
"Shinji..." Asuka said as she for some reason just leaned forward, preparing either for a hug, kiss, or just to fall on him.
For some reason, Shinji reacted differently and backed away causing her to fall to the ground in front of him.
She jumped back up furiously, "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!" Asuka screamed as she started towards Shinji.
Shinji immediately backed away a little and noticed that he was tightly pressed up against the wall. He had no choice but to stay there, waiting in horror in what Asuka was going to do to him. Asuka, on the contrary, was thinking of how to please him or rather to give him a nosebleed. She thought of a perfect way to do that, after all, their last kiss didn't go really that well. She took another step and tripped on purpose and fell. Shinji had no choice but to catch her, if he didn't, he would've been dead. As she fell down, her hair swung around loosely in the wind. He caught her body and wrapped his arm around her body and pulled her up to a standing position. He didn't realize that he was holding Asuka in a hug and rather tightly around the waist. Asuka on the other hand, was enjoying it a lot more. It was all going well...
"Shinji..." Asuka tried again and leaned forward.
"Rei, could you check on them, see if they're all right..." Yui said with a wink.
Rei stood up and walked towards the door, opened it and looked around. She didn't see them until her eyes caught on to a red color in the far right hand corner. It was Asuka, and Shinji was backed up against the wall, and they were kissing...
Rei walked back and closed the door. She sat down and resumed eating.
"So..." Yui asked.
"Seems like they're having fun," Rei said.
"Well, it seems like we have ta go now, I'll get them, ok," Misato said. Both Rei and Yui nodded.
As Misato opened the door, she saw Shinji and Asuka next to each other near the rails staring at the stars, not speaking...
(Misato: Hmm, I swear they were doing something a minute ago... hmmm)
"Hey, Shinji, Asuka, let's go!" Misato said as they followed her back in.
As they walked back in, Yui handed Misato the check. Misato's eyes started to bulge.
She took another look at the check before saying, "Asuka, how would you like to eat my cooking for a week?" Misato said evilly.
"Uhh..." Asuka responded with a sweat drop and eyes twitching, "What for"
"THIS," Misato yelled pointing at the Check, "and Shinji, you're not allowed to cook, except when I'm not home..."
"Uhh, ok..." Shinji replied, not really caring at the moment.
"Well, let's go then..." Yui said.
"Yeah, sure..." Misato said, really pissed off.
They exited the restaurant and said "Thank you" to the man in the front desk and squeezed into the small blue sports car again. They started to go home.
