Chapter 5

Hark, the Red one Cometh.

Shinji woke up and looked around. His familiar room, his ceiling, his bed, his floor and an arm wrapped around his chest. It was nice to have familiar things... Wait a minute... Arm draped around his chest... Something wasn't right since it wasn't his arm. Or he thought it wasn't his arm. He moved his right arm, and then his left arm but the one draped around his chest didn't move.

Okay, he thought logically, so he had confirmed it wasn't his arm. Then he heard breathing, that wasn't his. He turned to his side. Not even inches away from his face, was Rei's still asleep. He looked at her taking her in as if he hadn't before. He could see the soft detail of her flesh. The curves and shapes that made her character. Her pale skin in contrast to her red lips and a strong desire to kiss them.

Leaning forward slowly, he kissed her gently. He eyes slowly came open and then a warm and gentle smile was brought to her lips.

"Good morning Shinji."

"Good morning Rei." He responded still transfixed in the moment. Slowly it dawned on Shinij that this was a woman he had in his bed. What's more is that he had gone to bed with this woman. Quickly he reached to check for his clothes. Well his boxers were still on at least. He wondered what clothing Rei had on. The main point however was the fact he was safe.

He sat up giving the smile back, that Rei had given him. His eyes went wide as the covers slipped back to reveal Rei in dark purple underwear. It blended in with her and contrasted at the same time so well that Shinji felt his throat go dry instantly.

"Shinji, are you okay? You look... red." She didn't understand why Shinji had gone when he looked at her. She looked down at herself in her underwear and asked herself why that would make Shinji turn red. Then coming to the realization that Shinji was looking at her in her underwear she started to feel her cheeks get hot and then she too turned red. She thought about his eyes on her body. Looking around her, seeing all the parts of her body in her lacy purple underwear. She felt hot again, like she did last night when she asked to stay and sleep with Shinji. They had kissed a bit and then they had fallen asleep in each others arms.

"I-i'm fine Rei. Sorry for worrying you. Were you, um, wearing that when we went to sleep last night?"

"Yes, we didn't climb into bed in our clothing Shinji."

Rei responded a bit flushed herself now. Shinji looked down at the floor to see his clothes, as well as Rei's strewn about the floor. This scene did not look good for him. Mental images of Misato coming in with a look of terror and then ripping Shinji apart limb from limb flashed in his mind. Then as his eyes continued to search the floor, he remembered something about last night. Soon his eyes found it. The condom Misato gave him. It was still in it's package. This meant two wonderful things. First, he had not slept with Rei, and second, Misato was not going to rip him to tiny unidentifiable pieces.

"Well we should get dressed." Rei shook her head at his words.

"There is still time Shinji." She held out her arms to him, still a bit flushed but an assured look on her face. Shinji moved forward and embraced her.

"Rei..."

Shinji was happy, things were going so well. Rei was beginning to understand how he felt about her. He was starting to get the impression she might start to be feel the same. Today was going to be a good day.

With the greatest reluctance he let go of Rei's warm embrace and went to pick out some clothing.

"I will get dressed as well then." Rei smiled gently and opened Shinji's door. The second she did a surprised and off-balance Misato fell in crashing to the floor

"Good morning Misato-san." Rei blinked at her.

"Miasto?! What were you doing at the door?" Shinji asked disappointingly and although he though he should be surprised he was not.

Misato rubbed her head a bit and stood up with a forced nervous smile.

"I uh, was getting a spot off the door. Can't have a messy house ya know." Shinji didn't look convinced. Rei stared with her unchanging red eyes. Misato looked from one child to the other. Defeated, again. Rei:3 Misato:0. This ratio sucked.

"Alright, I was curious okay. Seems nothing happened anyway. What was the matter Shinji? Couldn't get it up?" Misato grinned.

Shinji went from not conviced to 'get the heck out' in a second flat.

"Get out!" Shinji threw a pillow at Misato. Misato quickly ducked under and made a break for the kitchen.

"Sheesh." Shinji looked angry at the empty hallway.

"Get what up Shiji? Do you need help getting something up?" Rei asked curious and concerned. Shinji went red again.

"Trust me Rei, right now I've gotten all the help I could possibly could get for that. I'm fine. I don't need what Misato was talking about, up." Rei looked into his eyes for a bit making sure he was okay, then went to her room to change.

Shinji got on his clothing and made his way to the kitchen. Misato still wasn't in her uniform and was staring strangely at Shinji's uniform. He began his usual routine despite feeling her eyes on him, and when he could ignore it no longer, finally inquired why.

"Is there something on my clothing?"

"No."

"Perhaps there something funny about my hair?"

"No." Misato said again in answer.

"Well, are you staring at me for a reason?"

"Yes." Smiked Misato.

"Well what reason might it be that you are staring at me and smirking?"

"Because you are wearing your school uniform." Misato stated still smiling.

"I was un-aware this was amusing for you Misato. As it's required to be worn at school."

"You have answered your question then." Shinji blinked at Misato's words.

"Am I not going to school today?"

"Bingo." She slapped Shinji on his shoulder.

"So, where is that I am going then?"

"Just you, oh no. You, Rei and me are going." Shinji looked still at Misato. By this time Rei had dressed and was heading to the kitchen herself. Seeing Misato talk with Shinji she moved to his side.

"Going where Misato-san?" Inquired Rei not missing out on the conversation.

"Somewhere."

"It's an angel isn't it." Shinji looked once again unamused. Misato still smirked.

"Well you'll just have to find out won't you?" She looked at Shinji. Shinji looked back to Rei.

"I guess we don't need to wear our uniforms today. You don't have to wear it if you don't want to." Rei looked at Shinji her eyes searching. Then she walked over to Misato. Misato quickly grabbed a can of Yebisu beer but in her panic, didn't open it fast enough and Rei got to her first.

Shinji watched the exchange not being able to hear what Rei was saying over Misato's whining and protests. The defeated Misato finally stood up after. Rei: 4 Misato : 0

"Shinji, you may change first and then come to the car." Then her expression changed becoming happy.

"We're going shopping!" She exclaimed and walked to her room to put on some decent clothing. Shinji looked to Rei wondering what could have possibly been asked of Misato. He shrugged after thinking about it and then went to his room.

By the time he had finished changing Misato was finished changing herself and was honking the horn in her car. Rei was in the back seat holding the door open for Shinji. Shinji of course sat in the back with Rei. Misato frowned a bit when neither child came to the front seat but she had guessed it would happen as such.

They arrived promptly as per usual. Neither Shinji nor Rei were flustered or worried anymore as driving with Misato had gotten them used to insane drivers. Particularly the one they were traveling with. As Shinji got out he offered his arm to Rei. Rei quickly took it intertwining her fingers with his.

"So, what are we here to shop for? Perhaps you wish to actually purchase batteries this time Misato?" Misato looked indignant.

"I told you before, they were for government use! Just keep quiet." Misato barked at him. Shinji smirked back at her.

They walked around for awhile. Misato pointing at all the wonderful things that malls have to offer. Shinji took mental note of the video game stores around. Then they finally stopped in front of a store.

Shinji examined the store name. This was a clothing store.

"What are we going to do here?" Misato looked at Shinji like he couldn't have possibly asked that question.

"What do you do at a clothing store Shinji?"

"You buy clothing." Shinji replied. Misato looked at him with a smug smile.

"If you are going to answer your own questions Shinji, why do you ask them?" Shinji now looked indignant and grumbled a bit but felt movement against his arm. Rei was giggling a little. As much as Rei could giggle that is. 'Yea, real funny. Laugh it up.' Thought Shinji.

So it was that Shinji got his first shopping experience out with his girlfriend. Misato wore a quiet and yet condescending smirk the whole time but only picked out nice and modest clothing. When they had picked out a decent array of clothing Rei went to the dressing room. Shinji moved to go elsewhere but a firm hand on his shoulder kept him put.

"I don't think I should be here for this Misato. I am sure I'll see them when we're out together. This doesn't seem appropriate."

"Stay boy." Shinji struggled a bit but his curiosity and desire along with Misato's firm grip kept him on the exact spot. Part of him didn't want to be there because it seemed wrong, but every fiber in his being was screaming to stay.

It didn't take long till Rei came out. Shinji just stared at Rei. Somehow the causal clothing gave her an even softer look. Seemed to brighten her face. When Rei caught Shinji's smile she wore a beaming smile of her own. Many more outfits were worn. Each time she came out Shinji just kept staring entranced by her beauty. The more outfits he saw, the more he wanted to see more of them. Some didn't quite work out and Misato gave a grave shake of her head. Rei, would shrug and go to the next outfit.

Finally after countless outfits Rei came out in a new one and smiled hopefully at Shinji. Shinji's jaw dropped. Misato's smirk turned into a very devious smile.

"Got ya Shinji." Shinji didn't even hear her words. Rei was wearing a very revealing 2-piece bikini. Or was it more of a thong? It was low cut at the bottom so it rode low on her hips and shaped perfectly to her curves. It was a dark blue color that mixed perfectly with her hair. The top was triangle shaped covering most of her bosom but left little to none for the imagination. Shinji felt his throat go dry again and turned a deep flush of red. Rei smiled at Shinji's reaction.

"I want this one the most Misato-san. This one seems to have gotten the best reaction of my Shinji so far." She realized she had said "my" again, instead of just Shinji. Misato nodded in agreement with her very mischievous grin.

"I agree Rei, that will definitely be one of the keepers." She elbowed Shinji. Shinji started to tip and then remembered he wasn't dreaming.

"It looks... Incredible Rei." Shinji said with his beat red face. Rei smiled bigger.

"I'm happy you like it Shinji."

With a quick swipe of a credit card Misato had gotten Rei a new wardrobe. She went back to her serious business like look.

"So, can we go now?" Rei and Shinji nodded to each other and replied, "Yes."as one.

The next thing Shinji knew, he was in a helicopter.

"Umm, Misato, why are Kensuke and Touji here?" Shinji inquired. Kensuke was too busy looking out the window of the helicopter at the ships below, while Touji flared at his comment.

"What kind of question is that? Friends always help out friends on,... uh... Scary voyages." Touji made his excuse.

"Oh yeah... Real scary. Or is it because Misato is here?" Said Kensuke still looking out the window. Touji instantly fell silent.

"More fun with more people right Shinji? Misato winked in his general direction. Touji imitated a fainting drooling motion. Although he hardly had to act it.

"Pathetic." Shinji said sighing.

"Huh? Did you say something Shinji?" Touji asked obviously still day dreaming.

"Just go back to sleep Touji."

A big aircraft carrier came into view. Kensuke went insane like he was looking at a naked woman. Everyone looked quite disgusted with Kensuke and didn't understand what the big deal was. Some rough air currents later and they had landed on the carrier.

Kensuke rushed out screaming how wonderful everything was exclaiming the same things over and over. Touji clenched his fist ready to put Kensuke out of his misery when the wind blew his hat off his head. This being a favorite baseball cap he owned, he rushed after it. Shinji and Rei shared a look and walked with their arms around each other slowly. Misato right away began to take care of her business. Now wearing her formal look and using her sharp attitude.

"Gah! Come back here. Stupid cap." Touji yelled at his cap chasing it down. Then it stopped for him or rather was stomped on. He stopped and looked up. There was a girl with fiery red hair. Her eyes spoke her attitude rather loudly and contrasted with her yellow dress.

"What are you doing here?" She snapped commandingly. Shinji arched an eyebrow. Rei moved closer to his side. Kensuke continued to stare unaware of the situation, his jaw open, gaping at the ship. Touji looked annoyed.

"I am trying to get my cap back. An' you're standing on it. Do ya mind?" He asked looking up to her, as a sudden gust of wind hit blowing her skirt up high. Kensuke turned around just in time, Touji was, well right there and Rei had quickly covered Shinji's eyes. Shinji was glad for it.

A deafening two slaps echoed next. Kensuke teared up and Touji recoiled back.

"What the hell was that for?" Touji yelled clutching his cheek.

"Like what you saw?!" She snapped back. Then Shinji came with Rei in between the two.

"Are you children done play-fighting yet? Lets not misbehave on a naval vessel." Touji looked down grumbling, the red haired eyes flared up at Shinji.

"Just who the heck do you think you are?!" Her eyes narrowed at him.

"I'm Shinji, this is my girlfriend Rei."He gestured to her and then to Kensuke and Touji. "The boys you slapped are Touji and Kensuke. Over behind us is..."

"Misato." The red haired girl cut him off. "I know Misato already. I don't know you or this girl with the blue hair. Girlfriend you say huh? Wait... Shinji? You! You're the third child?!" Shinji looked at her like she asked if the sky was blue.

"Yes, Ikari Shinji, is my name." The red haired looked at him incredulously. "Might you have a name?"Giving her an invitation to share. The red haired snapped back to attention.

"Sohryu Langley Asuka. I am the second child. You know, looking at you, I can't see someone like YOU getting over 100% on a synch test."

Then Shinji and Rei both grinned knowingly. Shinji was smart enough to guess her game, Rei could see how the this girl didn't want to be outdone.

"I guess you will have to wait and see." They said as one, surprising the other. They laughed and walked away leaving her dumb founded.

"What the hell are they on?" Touji looked at her smirking.

"Serves you right." Asuka glared back and grinded his cap more into the ground with her foot. "Hey! Stop that!" Now grinning herself, she walked up to Misato.

"What the hell was that about?" Asuka asked Misato. Misato put her papers down a second.

"Ah, Asuka! I see you have met the third and first children."

"That blue haired girl hanging on the thirds arm was the first child?"

"Her name is Rei." Misato stated like it was a well known fact, then went back to looking at her papers. Asuka looked idignant.

"I don't like the way they keep hanging off each other."

"Get used to it." Misato sighed a bit like it was a slippery hill she knew well.

"Why? I don't have to put up with..."

Sirens suddenly wailed to life. Red lights flashed all around. Shinji and Rei appeared shortly running up to Misato.

"The Evas?" Shinji asked. Touji and Kensuke were already being escorted to safety below the deck. Asuka had a mad glint in her eyes. Misato pointed over close by to a carrier while another one exploded not far off and began to sink.

"It's on that one."

"Then I need to get there. Nothing is going to harm Rei, not while I'm still breathing!" Asuka suddenly turned.

"Listen up wuss, you just stay out of my way." She lifted her chin high and looked at Shinji.

"Asuka-san, Don't write checks with your mouth that you can't cash. ." Shinji and Rei began to jog to his Eva. Asuka flared again her hair raising up.

"I'll show you. Hey! Come back here! I am not done with you! Get back here Third Child!" Asuka ran after the couple.

Shinji looked at Rei putting on his plug suit. Rei didn't look happy. They had learned that Rei's Eva wasn't here. Only Asuka's and Shinji's Eva were brought. Shinji pressed the wrist button as the final touch on the suit to vacuum it tight and looked at Rei. He walked forward and hugged her. She hugged back tightly.

"I'm coming back for you Rei. Nothing will take you away from me, and I'll be damned to let them try." Rei looked back to Shinji lifting her head from his chest.

"Shinji, as you want to be near me I want to be near you. I have much more to understand and I want you to be there with me as I learn it. Every time we touch, kiss or hug, my heart beats fast in my chest. I don't always understand what is going on. But when it's with you I always want more." Rei leaned up and gave Shinji a slow deep kiss. Shinji acted a bit shocked at first by her words but then quickly returned it.

"Mien Gott! Knock it off! What is this a soap opera?" Auska voice crashed down upon them effectively ruining the moment. Rei glared a bit and whispered.

"What is this feeling? I want to shove her off the deck." Shinji burst out laughing holding his sides. Barely under control struggling for breath.

"Don't worry, you might get your chance." Climbing up and jumping in the Eva he waved one last time. Rei made her way to the safety of the carrier away from the gigantic Eva's. Shinji wondered why Eva 01 had been carried out on this voyage, but he was glad it was here.

He felt the lcl fluid rise and envelope him. Calming his mind he felt one need. The need to destroy the enemy. Nothing could stop him, nothing would get in his way. With a roar of life the Eva sat up and stood pulling out it's prog blade and went into a stance.

Asuka began the synchronization. Stupid third child! Who did he think he was? Talking so bold like that and with that girl hanging off him. He was a player. She knew he couldn't back up his words. She would show him what a real pilot was.

With another roar the third eva stood up. Shinji put himself in a stance.

"Are you ready Asuka?" And then eva 01 leapt into the air.

Authors note: (This is outdated but left in to preserve original, next chapter is ready.)

Well, I think I worked my ass off to get off that chapter. I got such a good response from finally updating my last chapter that I worked one that I worked even today to get off this. I know some people were wondering how I was going to introduce Asuka. Since I relieved no input as to how, I did as much of the original of the episode I could remember. I know I missed some stuff in-between. But Shinji doesn't need to sit and debate his existence now. Carrying on. I don't know if the next chapter will be quite as fast. I typed many hours today. Thoughts and comments? Anyways, Peace all. And a specail thanks to all my readers. I have been reading other r/s fics and i have come to the conclusion that this one is pretty unique. Till next chapter see ya.
