Chapter 3: Old Acquaintances.
The Funujo Monorail train pulled into the platform and a automated Computer voice announced its presence "Maju District, please change here for the Kasho Express and Kyoto Lines"
They stood and made there way to the trains exit. The platform was dark, there was virtually no light whatsoever and the steel doors that opened to the outside world were closed. It was pretty safe to assume the power was off. Shinji knew the Train ran off a separate supply, and the Maju district had a reputation for being rundown even before Third Impact.
Braising themselves against the frame, Shinji and Asuka pushed against the door and the heavy metal slid loudly across the lip giving them an exit.
They made their way through the deserted streets to what looked like an abandoned apartment block, not to dissimilar to where Rei used to live, a slight hope raised in Shinji's heart maybe she was alive.
They entered the building and looked for apartment 4C as was scribbled on the paper as they came to a steel door, much stronger and heavier looking than those around it, they assumed this must be the place, Asuka taking the initiative knocked loudly.
At first there was no response so Asuka knocked again, still no response, just as they were turning to leave the sound of several deadbolts being unlocked from the other side filed the corridor and the door slowly opened. However it was who answered that shocked Shinji more than anything else.
The chestnut brown haired boy popped his head around the door, adjusted his glasses and said "Hello", the Man not recognising either Shinji or Asuka at first but then slowly there images sank in and he recalled them. Immediately running and giving Shinji a very big hug.
"Your Alive Shinji! I thought you were dead", Kensuke Aida blubbered through tears. After ten minutes of this, Kensuke finally, came to his senses and wiped off his glasses and looked over at Asuka then back to Shinji "and you brought the she demon with you", he spoke sarcastically before inviting them both into his home.
"So Shin-man what do you need?" Kensuke said enthusiastically, Hoping for some secret NERV Mission to save the world, even though he knew they probably didn't need him for that.
"Some bouncer on a Bar called Otto's gave us this address saying that you could make us a Passport ID", Shinji spoke smiling, although Kensuke couldn't hide is slight disappointment he was still very pleased that they needed him for something.
"Sure, no problem Shin-man", Kensuke said, walking over to his computer typing furiously at its keyboard.
Kensuke got both intern to look at the camera while he snapped there Photo's and created there new identities, Shinji became 'Shinji Kaji" and Asuka's new identity was 'Hilde Maxwell"
Kensuke then spent hours hacking the JSDF Defence network, adding a whole background and life story that would hold well in even the most thorough checks.
Shinji was the son of an extremely wealthy International businessman, and Asuka was the sister of a famous Biochemist and genetic researcher who were of course also fictional.
After many hours Kensuke finally handed the pair their new ID's, that looked very good for fakes. Kensuke smiled at them proudly.
"Kensuke, do you know what happened to the others, are they alive? Dead?" Shinji asked sipping some coffee.
"I don't know Shinji, you're the first person I've seen from before everything went to hell", Kensuke answered honestly.
"Well we should get going" Shinji said.
"Shinji its very late, if you need somewhere to stay tonight, your more than welcome to stay here", Kensuke Offered. Shinji looked over to Asuka who simply nodded then hushed. It was decided.
Kensuke gave Asuka and Shinji the Futon while he himself slept on the sofa, which was very comfortable; he had made sure when 'buying' it that if he ever needed to sleep on it he wouldn't get cramped.
Asuka took the Futon for herself under threat of violence leaving Shinji with the floor next to her. Asuka snuggled under the blankets and turned of the light. Leaving Shinji in the cold and dark, he shivered as the night drew on, he started to see his breath freeze, he looked over to Asuka in her Futon as she sighed content and warm. Shinji's teeth started to chatter from the cold. He'd forgotten just how cold it could get in this part of Tokyo 3 at night.
**********
The morning came and Asuka stretched out snug in her futon, she looked over to her left and there was Shinji, his skin pale and his lips blue, icicles and frost covered his body, he had obviously frozen to death. Asuka screamed.
********
Asuka woke up breathing heavy and sweating. She looked over to Shinji who was shivering in his sleep. She moved the Futon closer to him and covered them both with its blanket, hugging him tightly from behind.
"If you get any idea's third child, I will remove your testicles with a spoon", she whispered more to herself than anyone since she knew Shinji was sound asleep.
********
Shinji was the first to wake up to find Asuka 'clamped' to his back. Her ample breasts pressing tightly against him, just this thought alone was almost enough to induce a deep shade of red in Shinji's cheeks. However what sent him over the edge was that Asuka also had her legs rapped around his and the slight vibrations it sent through him as she breathed, that was it for Shinji, he then promptly passed out.
When he awoke again Asuka was gone and he was alone. Was it all a dream? He could still smell her scent, on him he knew it wasn't but it was best not to ask anyone about it, especially Asuka and if he talked about it to Kensuke he would definitely be dead.
After showering, Shinji went into the kitchen to find Asuka and Kensuke talking, actually TALKING. Not yelling at each other but holding a civil conversation, Shinji grabbed his coffee and drank some if its caffeinated goodness down.
If Shinji ever had an addiction it was coffee, Shinji started to cook breakfast. It seemed the least he could do after Kensuke had spent so much time to get their ID's as close to perfect as possible.
"Kensuke, I'm curious, why hasn't the military intervened with all the violence in the city?" Asuka spoke up
Kensuke looked very serious for a moment then spoke "The military are just as bad as the bikers, in fact in some respects there worse. If you see any soldiers around don't think they will help you, they will more likely shoot you"
They both walked into the kitchen and Shinji was stood at the stove wearing Kensuke's Apron and chef's hat stirring 'something' in a pot. Though neither knew what it was and didn't really WANT to know, it did smell very good, they both had to admit Shinji was an excellent cook.
Shinji dished up breakfast and they all ate it very quickly, it was very good, much better than the Rat they were both used to. Asuka rubbed her tummy with one hand and said "Yummy, what was that"
Kensuke looked at Shinji, then at Asuka,
"You don't want to know, trust me", was Shinji's simple answer, Kensuke and Asuka looked at each other then shrugged
"So where will you go?" Kensuke asked the two friends, despite everything she did and was he did consider Asuka a friend.
"We're going back to Otto's bar", said Asuka
As they headed back to the Train station, little did they know that both of them were thinking about the previous night spent at Kensuke's and they both wondered what they would find in Otto's Bar.
Authors Notes:
Now equipped with ID and a strong sense of adventure our duo head towards Otto's bar. But can another figure from the past stir something in Shinji that he thought was long dead? Find out next episode.
