AU Power within the Child ~~~ Twisted and Weird.
"Ikari Shinji" a dull voice, almost matched that of Ayanami.
"We came to take you back." a woman in blond, blue eyes about the side of Misato, walked into the lights, pointing an automatic gun right at his head.
"We need you" a girl of Rei's height walked in also, holding the same gun as the other woman, yet had it tilt side ways, also aiming at his head.
Yumuri Kirika. "You are here too." Shinji's voice was nothing but whisper.
"I am here to capture you, dead or alive." Yumuri spoke again with the same time of voice, which to him quivered a bit.
Mireiyu Buke. "Let them go" he glared at the woman.
The woman nodded. "I won't leave Shinji here" Misato said fiercely.
"You have no choice in that matter major, I have to gun, and you will do as you are told. And make sure you do not call for help, I will kill him if I needed"
Mireiyu.....Shinji nodded to the Misato and the stood stiffed Asuka.
"Let us go Ikari, there is much for you to know." Mireiyu motion her gun for Shinji to walk away from his bag, and away from Misato and Asuka, and then motioned him into another car.
Red...she wants to grab more attention to herself....To show everyone she's normal. Out of noway, Yumuri sat sat down next to him, and pocket her gun.
"That was a great show." Shinji had a small smile as he looked at Mireiyu with the rear view mirror and saw her smiling back at him.
"I though so myself. Yumuri didn't think we should, by the end of the day we probably have someone after us again"
"You are right, the section 2 will not be happy." Shinji said grimly. "You will have to kill me, you know."
"We will" the voice next to him spoke quietly. There was a feint rustle as Yumuri took out a laptop.
Starting in business. Noir.
"You know I wouldn't surrender."
"We know" Yumuri replied.
"You will not will"
"You're underestimation us"
"You're underestimating me"
"Give up Shinji"
"I can't"
"Then you shall die in the hands of the maiden of death" the car stopped and the door automatically opened.
"I shall wait to that day" Shinji hung his head. Noir.
~~~~~~
"Who were they?" Misato asked as she sat beside Shinji as he continued to type on the computer.
"Noir....the true maiden of death and the sinners of paradise. Mireiyu Buke, most reliable assassin, Yumuri Kirika, killing machine...They were both assigned to kill me, yet they failed by my luck...They will stop at nothing to kill me now that they find me. It's hard enough to take on one, but both, I don't think I can do it."
"I'll have section 2 look into it" Shinji shook his head.
"You don't understand, section 2 wouldn't stand a chance against either of them, both of them are true assassin. They never miss a target once it was assigned until they met me, it was their fault that I got away, they underestimated and it will not happen again."
"What are we going to do?"
"No, what am I going to do. I will not bring anyone into this, if I have to die, so be it. I will be penalize for your act of kindness."
"who do you think send them?" Misato changed the subject.
"Can't be the commander, he will have no one to pilot Unit 01, and he will not risk Rei for such a task..." he shook his head again. "I don't know who had such power as in ordering the Noir to hunt me down."
Suddenly Misato remembered his gym bag and brought it to him. "Your sword"
"Interesting isn't it?"
"How did you know...."
"....you open the bag" he finished for her. "Because you didn't close it all the way."
"I can't imagine you take note of every detail."
"I hate for someone to put a bomb in my bag and get blown up because I didn't know major. It'll be a waste"
"There wasn't a scratch on it. Is it now?" she asked.
"No, it quite old actually. But it's titanium"
"Why is it so light?"
"That's why it's so special. It's strong as a titanium metal should be, yet so light that a four year old could carry it"
"It's a sakaba"
"Doesn't actually mean it doesn't work as a normal sword does."
Misato hung her head. "They will find you soon"
"I know"
"Why don't you leave"
"No where to run to"
"There's always is"
"Asuka and Rei can not fight alone and you know it"
"If section 2 can't protect you, nothing will stop them."
"I never said I was smart."
"I won't allow you to stay here and die."
"You're lying to yourself major, you mouth is saying that I have to leave, yet you heart said that I can't go because I am dedicated to help them people."
"........."
"Give me you gun major" Shinji said in monotone as he shut the laptop down.
She tentatively pull it out and hand it to him.
"They're here"
~~~~~~~~~
"Ikari."
"Mireiyu"
"I never thought that I will see you again after you left."
"I never thought I will see you after I shot you either."
"That was my mistake, a mistake I will not make again."
"Where is she?"
"I'm here" a another voice came, and Yumuri walked in, almost as if she was floating from the floor."You will not will Shinji"
"Let him go"
"Ayanami! got out of here, you don't know who you're dealing with." Shinji yelled over the loud construction.
To late, Yumuri took her aim and took her first shot into Rei's head.
In a slow motion, Shinji drew his sword and jumped infront of her and deflect the bullet. His eyes glow light blue in the late night. The darkness heighten his aura. "Get out of here"
"The commander order me to help you."
A gasp escaped his lips as he was stuck by surprise and whirled around to meet Ayanami's red eyes. "Father?"
"He said you might be needing help." with a gesture of her hand twelve men dress in black came into view all with a gun in their hand.
"DROP YOUR WEAPON"
Shinji sweat drop. "They're not going to drop their weapon just because you told them to." Shinji growl, "Idiots get out of here. I can handle this myself."
The men still stood poise. Suddenly there was a rush of wind, and then bullet went by his ear and took down the first man on sight. The war began between the Noir and section 2 as Shinji pulled Rei for cover.
"Order them to get out of here"
"Negative, I do not control them, commander specifically order them to take them down at all cause."
So it wasn't to protect me. "They are going to die for no reason you know"
"They are replaceable. Just like me"
"No one is replaceable, section 2 or not, they are still human." the last shot rang and the last man drop."I need no one, I didn't ask for help. I will do this on my own."
"I promise that I would protect you no matter what, yet you were the one that saved me. I failed once again."
"Not everything is about a mission Rei" he smiled at her over his shoulder as he got up from the sitting position.
The two female assassins stood their ground, their guns were on the ground.
Hand to hand combat. I don't stand a chance.
Clang...clang..clang..the sword rolled to a stop as he took off his jacket he didn't know he had.
"Shinji" Yumuri announce softly as she walked forward, her arms gently swaying. Her head hung low so he couldn't see what her emotions were, or see her eyes.
With a speed and flow of a great assassin, she took the first move, and high spin kick, leg sweep, follow by a jump and a flip.
He was lucky she missed all of them.
Round kick was block by his shin, much to her displeasure, and another was block by his forearm, the attack continue as he was still on the defensive, unable to see any weak point. Another spin kick blocked by his forearm, he wince at the power in it.
'That's going to bruise later.'
He backs away yet again and hit the rear end of a car. There was a flare in her eyes as he looked up and quickly back flip onto the hood of the car. The trunk of the car met her heel and the dent didn't look pretty.
Suddenly seeing her guide down, he jump down and slam her collar bones with his knees with so much force that she drop to the ground at the sound of the crack. Rolling off of her and standing up, he met with Mireiyu's right hook which he wince at the contact. Out of the corner of his left eye he saw her foot came up, he block her low kick, and twine his leg to hers' and lock them together, and dislocate her kneecap making her drop with a sudden cry.
Looking over his shoulder he yelled for Rei to get out. Once again he was late. The shot was hurt and he gritted his teeth at the impact. Inspecting his left shoulder, he bit his bottom lip to hold the cried. The sudden moment made him look over at Mireiyu who was trying to hold herself from shaking as she aim the gun at him. Another shot rang and it gazed Shinji's face a bit.
Noir vs. Hitokiri Battousai
"You lose." inside crescent kick send her gun out of her grip and brought a small yelp from her lips as she took a major damage to her wrist. As she tend her hand, and cradled it under her chest, he slowly got up from the cructhing position and went to see Rei, who was still standing at the same spot looking at everything that had happen.
"I want them alive." she nodded and caught him went he suddenly fell from the lack of energy.
~~~~~~~
"Shinji...Shinji..." someone was calling him yet again, but this time he didn't feel like answering.
"Wake up baka!" yet another voice, fill with so much anger yet caring.
"I don't want to" he groaned but opened his eyes anyway just to see who's the voices belong to.
"How are you doing?" Hikari smiled but suddenly was push over by a smaller girl.
"Reika..ophff" he was tackled by the little girl. "I'm glad to see you two."
"No had me worried." the little girl sniffled.
"I hope you didn't stay too late." he frown at her.
She shook her head, and smiled up at him.
"You us all worried baka" Asuka's head came into sight.
"What happened to them?" Shinji push himself up; completely ignoring the nurse's plead for him to stay in bed.
"In the custody of NERV" a low voice was heard.
"I hope they are fine."
"I hope they're dead." Hikari said in anger as her eyes flare with fire.
"They are fine" Rei answer. "for now."
"The commander had place them in a top security cell, they'll be here for a while." Misato step into view.
"I'm glade you're okay too, I hope I didn't scare you by running out. But I did told you not to send any help. Those men die for no reason, and just because my warning were unheeded by you, I have another guilty conscience weighting me down..." Shinji hung his head down and ball up his fist.
"They are none of your concern," another voice came in. "I didn't send them to save you, I have my own reasons."
Shinji looked up in surprise. "Otou-san."
"Clear the room major"
"Everyone out." Misato hold the door for everyone. Reika looked over her shoulder at Shinji who smile softly at her and nodded, then she left with the others.
"You did not inform me of your...escapade before you came to NERV, but I was informed. I want to warn you that I own you now, you are mine to do as I please, you will not die until I tell you, from the point that you joined NERV to the point to die, you belong to me.."
"I belong to no one..." he looked up at the commander, his eyes once again took its' glowing form. "and you can go to hell for all I care, father"
Gendo's expression was grim, yet no one saw. Suddenly his gun was drew and a shot rang through the NERV's building.
Unable to hold in the cried, Shinji scream as the bullet shed through his injured shoulder. As sudden as it came, he stop his cried and whimpered as the doctors and his close friends came through to see the indifferent commander put his gun back in its' holster.
"They will be dealt with a proper punishment." with that he walked out.
Bastard. Exhausted, Shinji felt the sudden wave of blackness took over and fell back on his pillow. 'I just hope it last forever this time.'

"Such a high tech stuff, I can't believe they spend people's good money for this stuff." stepping out of the elevator Shnji walked down the hall to and stopped as he saw the two culprits he was looking for.
"Nice of you to join us Ikari." Mireiyu said brightly. "I hope you came to get us out of these cells."
Taking a brief look at Mireiyu's outfit he suddenly grimace at the rags, turning to look at her partner he know suddenly felt bad for them.
"I sorry" Shinji replied softly. Looking through his bag he produce two new pairs of shirts and jeans. "I though Misato was about your size and Rei is about Yumuri's. I hope they're okay." he was about to hand them over when he suddenly notice what was holding them. "Electical feild."
"The power box is above you" Yumuri looked up.
He winced at the look of her bruised cheeks. He shuddered, and then shook his head. "They would know that where you would try to do to escape." digging into his bag once again he brought out a hand hold code scanner.
Access deny...intruder alarm in t minus 10 second..
"Damn, I know this was too easy" he panicked.
5...4...
Yui......access granted.
The electrical field on both side came down. And the alarm rang every which way. Blaring the panicked voice of Mirreiyu's.
"We have less than 20 minutes before this place is filled with section 2, get dress." he yelled over the alarm, and tossed them their guns and extra clips, and drew his sword.
"Why are you helping us?." Yumuri winced as she pulled her jeans and shirt on.
"I don't know" Shinji whisper, suddenly surprise at his own act of kindness to those that were trying to kill him. He didn't know if she had heard it or not but his mind suddenly snapped into place as gunshot was heard.
"I thought you said 20 minutes." Mireiyu came to his side followed by Yumuri.
"I was wrong." Shinji laughed as they dashed to the elevator, laying low, as the self-defense machine gun started firing. "They're going to seal all the hatches, and fill it up with LCL. We have to get to a higher ground. They'll be waiting for us if we use the elevator." they nodded knowing what exactly what was need to be done. "Will you be okay for a little climb?"
They nodded again.
Getting out of the elevator was easy, but the climb was going to be hell. With his injured shoulder, and their multiple bruises, he knew it's going to be worst than hell.
"I..thought you said it was a little..climb."
Looking down at Mireiyu who was doing her best to hold herself up as well as provide Yumuri's help as well.
He laughed feebly, "I was wrong?" and continued the climb. "They will probably have teams coming down about now, I didn't think they would rough you up so bad, I've small explosives just in case, one should be enough to blow up the door, by the time they get there, we'll be out of here. Level one entrance is just up ahead."
The two females grunted in reply.
Reaching the elevator door, he place the explosive in the center and slide down to Mireiyu. Looking at his time watch he counted backward. 3..2...BOOM!!
The explosive sent out a small wave of gust filled with small metals that briefly gash Shinji's arm and cheek, making a small cut. Disregarding the small cuts, he climb as fast as he could and pulled himself on the ledge, and gave a hand to pull Mireiyu and Yumuri up. As he was about to draw his sword out again he suddenly stopped himself, and put it back and drew the gun from his holster.
"I didn't know you carried one." Mireiyu said as she looked up and down the hall ways.
"Special occasion."
"Someone is coming this way." Yumuri closed her eyes as she tried to regain her breathe.
"Do you think you can go on. It's about a mile from here to the packing lot." Shinji looked at Yumuri and turned to Mireiyu for guidance.
"That will take at least 5 minutes, with both of us injured, maybe 7, that if we don't run into unwanted companies." Mireiyu looked a bit worried.
"I'll be fine, Mireiyu." Yumuri loaded her gun.
Shinji nodded. "Ready?"
Yumuri nodded.
"Follow me" he took off with a sudden burst of energy, and took out as much security cam as he could leaving the rest to Mireiyu and Yumuri to deal with.
A shot rang out behind them and Shinji took a second to look back and cursed at his worst of lucks.
"They're going to try and cut us off from the front and rear. Our best hope is that there are no self-defense machine guns at every corner. If we're lucky the commander won't want anything other than torture you." looking to Yumuri who was huffing air, breathless. At sound of shooting from behind them, he saw the group of twelve section 2, running after them. "We have got to go" with that he place two sensor explosives on each wall. Smiling at his brilliant plan, he lead them away.
As they reached the door to the parking lot, there was a large explosing that went off making the fire alarm go off.
Mireiyu laughed a bit, but wince as her rips didn't agree with the joke. After basically carrying the blond woman, and the dark hair girl, he rest Mireiyu in the back and Yumuri in the front seat, and took the driver's seat.
"They have sealed the exit entrance Ikari." Yumuri said softly as she finally regain her breathe.
Taking out his remaining explosives, he grinned at her, she gave him...a blank expression. "Up to you to have no fun, where's your sense of adventure." he took one explosive and lob it a car, at the impact, the bomb went off and rest of the car park went with it in a big....explosion?
Every where they turn, cars that he drove pass went off in a domino-effect.
The alarm went off even louder, foot soldier went taken into action. Yet without being about to get close to them they had no chance.
Taking out two more explosives, Shinji grinned wickedly and hand it to Yumuri. "We'll be passing the gate entrance soon. You know what to do."
"What about me?" the voice behind them told him Mireiyu was out of her nappy nap mood.
Tossing her his gun and went back to driving. "Help with the coving fire."
"Fine."
Approaching the entrance gate was much easier than he had expected. The foot soldier were not seen any where. Too easy if he really thought about it.
"They have place a bug in the car." Yumuri said suddenly.
"Do you think you can debug it before we reach the gate?"
"Iie, Mireiyu-san?"
"I got it."
There was a long silence before, he heard Mireiyu's gasp. "What? what is it?"
"We got a bigger problem than a bug, there a god damn bomb."
Shinji laughed. "Oh sorry, it's my, I brought in case I needed it, you know? emergencies."
"This is big enough to blow up this place."
"That's right..It's a small version of N2 mine." he sang.
Wide eyed Mireiyu was stunned at what he was proposing. "You're willing to blow your father's life, just to get us out."
He shook his head in amusement. "not everything is about you, besides, I don't mind helping out Yumuri" he winked at the girl sitting next to him. Again, she gave him a weird look.
Mireiyu had an 'O' expression and giggled.
"Ready?" he asked as they got closer to the gate. He turned to Yumuri and nodded. As she threw the bomb, he stepped on the gas and race through anything that they would meet outside. Yet he wasn't sure what he saw was exactly what he had in mind.
Nothing. No ground troops, police, section 2, nor guard.
"Nothing?" he was pissed. 'He wouldn't take me seriously until I give him something to be concern about.'
"Well I for one am glad." Mireiyu laid back down on the back seat.
"Are you okay? Mireiyu" Yumuri looked back at her partner with concerned look.
"she'll be fine when we get to the safe house." Shinji replied and stepped on the gas a bit more. He was going at about sixty miles an hour and now eighty-five.
"You got a safety house?" the blond hair woman asked in excitement.
Shinji nodded. "Just outside Tokyo III, I took my step-daughters there so they could be safe. Let things cool down first. It's summer vacation anyway so the school doesn't expect anything, and NERV doesn't care as long as I can pilot."
"That will be fine as long as I have a place to take a hot bath."
Looking at the girl next to him. "What do you think Yumuri?"
"That would be fine" she said dully.
"You sound exactly like Ayanami, but even she said more than that"
She shrugged.
Shinji sweat-drop.
"Stop bothering the girl. It's not everyday when we get beaten up by a boy." Mireiyu winced as she waved her injured hand.
"I hope I didn't hurt you too much, it was luck basically. I'd had thought they fixed it." he said spitefully.
"They did" Yumuri answered.
Shinji glanced at Yumuri's collar bones which looked healed, well other than bruises all over her body, that wasn't news, it was doubled for Mireiyu.
"Yeah they did fix us," there was a small pause as Mireiyu tried to lay on her back. " just so we live to have some more."
"Well I'm guessing you're just have to wait to kill me later." Mireiyu laughed at that. Glancing over to Yumuri, he saw the tiny curve on the dark hair girl's lips, and smiled to himself for getting that much out of her.
The rest of the trip was silence as he let the Noir took their needed rest, and drove all the way outside Tokyo III. Stopping at a car dealer place he woke up the two and help them out of the car, sold it for the first offer and bought an oldest car he could find. Ignoring the questioning stare from his companions he helped them into an old Toyota.
After a couple of mile away, he answered their question with the large explosion that came about three miles back.
"I didn't feel like stealing a car, so I thought it would be fun if the commander thought I die of the small car explosion. The old car because I want to keep a low file before I blow up the place. The car dealer didn't expect a thing. Clever huh?"
Yumuri shook her head. "What are you going to do now that you're free? You can't go back to Tokyo III with your family if you wanted to. If you do, the commander will know that you helped us escape, what will happen to your step-daughters. They can't visit you because they'll be keeping tab on them."
Crap..CRAP...CRAP!!! He stopped the car in a halt. "Damn." before he knew it, he had already made it to their safe house by accident, and he stopped at exactly perfect time.
"we can think about it after we clean up." Mireiyu rest a hand on his shoulder in sympathy. He nodded and help her and Yumuri out.
Looking up and down the street, Shinji made sure he didn't see anyone, and stumbled with the assassins up the door and rang. Upon seeing the face of Hikari, Shinji motioned to the two injured people, and she helped them in.
"Are you okay?" Hikari looked him over to see if he was hurt.
"I'm fine, did it work."
"Yeah, everything went as plan, Misato and Asuka are still waiting for you to call.." she started and stopped as he slapped his forehead.
"Did they make sure it wasn't tape." Mireiyu looked up from the couch.
"I don't know," Hikari looked at her strangely, "I don't think we have met, I'm Hikari." she extend her hand to greed the woman.
"If I tell you I have to kill you" Mireiyu slapped her hand away.
Shinji looked on with an amazed expression.
Hikari looked at her with daggers. "That was rude! For someone who was saved by Shinji you should be grateful to his friend. I happens to be his....umm sister" she said in a foulest mood Shinji had ever seen.
'This is even worst than Hikari vs. Asuka'
Instead of saying anything, Mireiyu pulled out her gun. That shut Hikari's mouth faster than anything else could.
"HEY!" Shinji grabbed it away. "we don't need that, we're all friends." Turning nervously to Hikari, "Why don't you go and get the first aid kit? I talk to them" she nodded silently and ran away.
Looking fiercely at Mireiyu whom seems to think it was funny. "You guys better make peace, I have two others that I don't want to be hurt by your language or violence. And no shooting in the house." he soften.
"Yes mother." Mireiyu teased, and turned to smiled at her partner who seems to be taking mental note of what had went on. "relax Yumuri"
"I have never seen you act like this when we were living with each other."
'That must be the longest sentence I heard from her.'
"That's because we always seems to be after someone. It's nice to take a rest for a change."
"I don't know if I like it." Yumuri spread on the bed.
"It's always nice if you don't have to kill people for a living." Shinji joined as he inspects Mireiyu's cuts and bruises.
"I always thought it was a rush. But more of it is the journey we take, the traveling, the hunt, and especially being hunted." Mireiyu whispered.
"Onii-sama," turning to the door Mireiyu saw a little girl, shyly twirling her brown hair, blushing in embarrassment.
"Reika," she ran into Shinji's arms. "Aren't you suppose to be taking a nap?"
"I did tell her to" Jui came across the room. "But she said that she want to sleep on that..bed" Jui trailed as she look at the bed occupied by a girl she doesn't know. "That's now occupied by some stranger."
"I am not a stranger." Yumuri said quietly.
Jui, not expecting that, took a drastic measure. Shinji could see the fire in her eyes like it did to her older sister's.
"Then who might you be stranger..." she put the emphasis on stranger, and place her hand on her hip and stood her ground.
"If I tell you I would have to kill you." she answers. In the background, Shinji could hear Mireiyu's small giggle.
"Onii-sama, she is scaring me." Reika pulled closer to him.
He smiled down at the poor girl. "Don't worry, she was just kidding..." he glared at Mireiyu, she stopped her giggle and whisper something softly to Yumuri.
"I apologize, I was...kidding" Yumuri said softly.
"See, what did I tell you?" the little girl brighten up quickly, "Now go to sleep, I'll wake you up when it's snack time and bring you something," looking up at the stood still Jui, "You too Jui." Jui nodded and grabbed Reika's hand and dashed out the door.
"I told you to be nice." He looked over his shoulder at Mireiyu and Yumuri.
Meeting his glaze with her defiance look, "It was true. Besides, haven't you heard, 'curiosity kills the cats'"
"They aren't cats. And if you or Yumuri, as much as touch a single hair on my daughters, I WILL hunt you down and kill you. Do we understand each other." Shinji stared darkly at both Mireiyu and Yumuri.
Neither of them was able to move for a moment, and it was Mireiyu who nodded meekly.
Shoving his hands into his pants pocket, he walked out of the door as Hikari walked in, smiling brightly at Shinji, who raise an eyebrow, and looked questioningly at her mood swing.
"I take care of the bandaging, don't worry about it." She stood up on her tiptoe and gave him a soft kiss on the lip.
"I'll be in the hot spring if you need me." He gave a small wave as he retreated for a nice hot bath.
~~~
When Shinji was out of the sight, Hikari took up the job of nursing Mireiyu and Yumuri.
'The sooner they are better the sooner they get out of here.' She thought to herself as she tightens the bandages on Mireiyu.
"Could you try to be more gentle?"
"Sorry, but I'm not a nurse you know. Besides stop being such a baby."
"Bitch" Mireiyu whispered through her teeth, and winced again as Hikari tighten the bandage even harder.
"That's all I can do, but it would be much better if you can get a doctor." Hikari suggested, grinning inwardly.
"Nice try bitch, but I'm not leaving until I know that Yumuri and I are safe from NERV. Besides, we have a job to do still, so we'll be here a while."
"What is your so call job anyway, you can't be pilots." Hikari looked at them from head to toe.
"That is none of you business." Yumuri finally said something after the long silence.
"If it involves Shinji, it is my business, besides, I'm the one who arranged all this, at least you could tell me something" Hikari whined.
"In due time Hikari," Shinji walked in, his lower half wrapped in towel, the other soaked from the hot bath. Water was still dripping from his hair.
'He look like a sun god' Hikari thought breathlessly.
As for Mireiyu, she looked appreciative at the sight. Yumuri just seems to be staring.
The male anatomy always had been quite interesting. Her eyes lingered at the lean young man, and the slightly bulged lower area where his sex would be. Her hand itch to feel them, yet she stopped. For the same reason she can't say that she felt something for the young man who defeated her in combat.
"See something you like Yumuri" Mireiyu observe the girl as she blushed lightly yet she had no idea that she was doing it.
"No." Yumuri said plainly, and turned away from the half naked Shinji.
"How many rooms are there, Hikari?" He ruffled his hair.
"Three" Hikari said shyly. "Yui and Reika are sharing one, your friends can have this one.and."
"I'll sleep on the couch" He didn't feel like fooling around with Yumuri and Mireiyu staying next door.
"Oh no you're not. You're sleeping with me whether you like it or not" Hikari said fiercely.
"I don't mean to interrupt you but, why do you get to tell him where to sleep." Mireiyu said sourly.
Hikari turned to face the older woman with a glare. "Because I can, and mind you own business."
"come on guys, I really want to.." the telephone stopped him from going on. With a tinge of worry he picked up the phone but didn't say anything.
"Shinji? Hello!?"
"Major!! How did you get this number?"
"Hikari told me" Shinji looked over his shoulder to Hikari who shrugged. "Anyway, I need to inform you that you are needed at the HQ, asap."
Shinji flinched. His father knew? How can that be possible.
"The commander agreed to drop all the charges as long as you get back here. There seems to be some trouble with Unit 01."
"Where is he now?"
"Some where across the globe."
"Fine, I'll be there" there was a gasp that caught Shinji's attention. Slowly he place the telephone back and looked at Hikari.
"Why are you going back after we moved all the way out here." she was furious.
"Slight change of plans."
******* Done and done, this chapter is a bit short, but it will continue soon, I hope.
AU Power within the Child ~~~ Twisted and Weird.
"Ikari Shinji" a dull voice, almost matched that of Ayanami.
"We came to take you back." a woman in blond, blue eyes about the side of Misato, walked into the lights, pointing an automatic gun right at his head.
"We need you" a girl of Rei's height walked in also, holding the same gun as the other woman, yet had it tilt side ways, also aiming at his head.
Yumuri Kirika. "You are here too." Shinji's voice was nothing but whisper.
"I am here to capture you, dead or alive." Yumuri spoke again with the same time of voice, which to him quivered a bit.
Mireiyu Buke. "Let them go" he glared at the woman.
The woman nodded. "I won't leave Shinji here" Misato said fiercely.
"You have no choice in that matter major, I have to gun, and you will do as you are told. And make sure you do not call for help, I will kill him if I needed"
Mireiyu.....Shinji nodded to the Misato and the stood stiffed Asuka.
"Let us go Ikari, there is much for you to know." Mireiyu motion her gun for Shinji to walk away from his bag, and away from Misato and Asuka, and then motioned him into another car.
Red...she wants to grab more attention to herself....To show everyone she's normal. Out of noway, Yumuri sat sat down next to him, and pocket her gun.
"That was a great show." Shinji had a small smile as he looked at Mireiyu with the rear view mirror and saw her smiling back at him.
"I though so myself. Yumuri didn't think we should, by the end of the day we probably have someone after us again"
"You are right, the section 2 will not be happy." Shinji said grimly. "You will have to kill me, you know."
"We will" the voice next to him spoke quietly. There was a feint rustle as Yumuri took out a laptop.
Starting in business. Noir.
"You know I wouldn't surrender."
"We know" Yumuri replied.
"You will not will"
"You're underestimation us"
"You're underestimating me"
"Give up Shinji"
"I can't"
"Then you shall die in the hands of the maiden of death" the car stopped and the door automatically opened.
"I shall wait to that day" Shinji hung his head. Noir.
~~~~~~
"Who were they?" Misato asked as she sat beside Shinji as he continued to type on the computer.
"Noir....the true maiden of death and the sinners of paradise. Mireiyu Buke, most reliable assassin, Yumuri Kirika, killing machine...They were both assigned to kill me, yet they failed by my luck...They will stop at nothing to kill me now that they find me. It's hard enough to take on one, but both, I don't think I can do it."
"I'll have section 2 look into it" Shinji shook his head.
"You don't understand, section 2 wouldn't stand a chance against either of them, both of them are true assassin. They never miss a target once it was assigned until they met me, it was their fault that I got away, they underestimated and it will not happen again."
"What are we going to do?"
"No, what am I going to do. I will not bring anyone into this, if I have to die, so be it. I will be penalize for your act of kindness."
"who do you think send them?" Misato changed the subject.
"Can't be the commander, he will have no one to pilot Unit 01, and he will not risk Rei for such a task..." he shook his head again. "I don't know who had such power as in ordering the Noir to hunt me down."
Suddenly Misato remembered his gym bag and brought it to him. "Your sword"
"Interesting isn't it?"
"How did you know...."
"....you open the bag" he finished for her. "Because you didn't close it all the way."
"I can't imagine you take note of every detail."
"I hate for someone to put a bomb in my bag and get blown up because I didn't know major. It'll be a waste"
"There wasn't a scratch on it. Is it now?" she asked.
"No, it quite old actually. But it's titanium"
"Why is it so light?"
"That's why it's so special. It's strong as a titanium metal should be, yet so light that a four year old could carry it"
"It's a sakaba"
"Doesn't actually mean it doesn't work as a normal sword does."
Misato hung her head. "They will find you soon"
"I know"
"Why don't you leave"
"No where to run to"
"There's always is"
"Asuka and Rei can not fight alone and you know it"
"If section 2 can't protect you, nothing will stop them."
"I never said I was smart."
"I won't allow you to stay here and die."
"You're lying to yourself major, you mouth is saying that I have to leave, yet you heart said that I can't go because I am dedicated to help them people."
"........."
"Give me you gun major" Shinji said in monotone as he shut the laptop down.
She tentatively pull it out and hand it to him.
"They're here"
~~~~~~~~~
"Ikari."
"Mireiyu"
"I never thought that I will see you again after you left."
"I never thought I will see you after I shot you either."
"That was my mistake, a mistake I will not make again."
"Where is she?"
"I'm here" a another voice came, and Yumuri walked in, almost as if she was floating from the floor."You will not will Shinji"
"Let him go"
"Ayanami! got out of here, you don't know who you're dealing with." Shinji yelled over the loud construction.
To late, Yumuri took her aim and took her first shot into Rei's head.
In a slow motion, Shinji drew his sword and jumped infront of her and deflect the bullet. His eyes glow light blue in the late night. The darkness heighten his aura. "Get out of here"
"The commander order me to help you."
A gasp escaped his lips as he was stuck by surprise and whirled around to meet Ayanami's red eyes. "Father?"
"He said you might be needing help." with a gesture of her hand twelve men dress in black came into view all with a gun in their hand.
"DROP YOUR WEAPON"
Shinji sweat drop. "They're not going to drop their weapon just because you told them to." Shinji growl, "Idiots get out of here. I can handle this myself."
The men still stood poise. Suddenly there was a rush of wind, and then bullet went by his ear and took down the first man on sight. The war began between the Noir and section 2 as Shinji pulled Rei for cover.
"Order them to get out of here"
"Negative, I do not control them, commander specifically order them to take them down at all cause."
So it wasn't to protect me. "They are going to die for no reason you know"
"They are replaceable. Just like me"
"No one is replaceable, section 2 or not, they are still human." the last shot rang and the last man drop."I need no one, I didn't ask for help. I will do this on my own."
"I promise that I would protect you no matter what, yet you were the one that saved me. I failed once again."
"Not everything is about a mission Rei" he smiled at her over his shoulder as he got up from the sitting position.
The two female assassins stood their ground, their guns were on the ground.
Hand to hand combat. I don't stand a chance.
Clang...clang..clang..the sword rolled to a stop as he took off his jacket he didn't know he had.
"Shinji" Yumuri announce softly as she walked forward, her arms gently swaying. Her head hung low so he couldn't see what her emotions were, or see her eyes.
With a speed and flow of a great assassin, she took the first move, and high spin kick, leg sweep, follow by a jump and a flip.
He was lucky she missed all of them.
Round kick was block by his shin, much to her displeasure, and another was block by his forearm, the attack continue as he was still on the defensive, unable to see any weak point. Another spin kick blocked by his forearm, he wince at the power in it.
'That's going to bruise later.'
He backs away yet again and hit the rear end of a car. There was a flare in her eyes as he looked up and quickly back flip onto the hood of the car. The trunk of the car met her heel and the dent didn't look pretty.
Suddenly seeing her guide down, he jump down and slam her collar bones with his knees with so much force that she drop to the ground at the sound of the crack. Rolling off of her and standing up, he met with Mireiyu's right hook which he wince at the contact. Out of the corner of his left eye he saw her foot came up, he block her low kick, and twine his leg to hers' and lock them together, and dislocate her kneecap making her drop with a sudden cry.
Looking over his shoulder he yelled for Rei to get out. Once again he was late. The shot was hurt and he gritted his teeth at the impact. Inspecting his left shoulder, he bit his bottom lip to hold the cried. The sudden moment made him look over at Mireiyu who was trying to hold herself from shaking as she aim the gun at him. Another shot rang and it gazed Shinji's face a bit.
Noir vs. Hitokiri Battousai
"You lose." inside crescent kick send her gun out of her grip and brought a small yelp from her lips as she took a major damage to her wrist. As she tend her hand, and cradled it under her chest, he slowly got up from the cructhing position and went to see Rei, who was still standing at the same spot looking at everything that had happen.
"I want them alive." she nodded and caught him went he suddenly fell from the lack of energy.
~~~~~~~
"Shinji...Shinji..." someone was calling him yet again, but this time he didn't feel like answering.
"Wake up baka!" yet another voice, fill with so much anger yet caring.
"I don't want to" he groaned but opened his eyes anyway just to see who's the voices belong to.
"How are you doing?" Hikari smiled but suddenly was push over by a smaller girl.
"Reika..ophff" he was tackled by the little girl. "I'm glad to see you two."
"No had me worried." the little girl sniffled.
"I hope you didn't stay too late." he frown at her.
She shook her head, and smiled up at him.
"You us all worried baka" Asuka's head came into sight.
"What happened to them?" Shinji push himself up; completely ignoring the nurse's plead for him to stay in bed.
"In the custody of NERV" a low voice was heard.
"I hope they are fine."
"I hope they're dead." Hikari said in anger as her eyes flare with fire.
"They are fine" Rei answer. "for now."
"The commander had place them in a top security cell, they'll be here for a while." Misato step into view.
"I'm glade you're okay too, I hope I didn't scare you by running out. But I did told you not to send any help. Those men die for no reason, and just because my warning were unheeded by you, I have another guilty conscience weighting me down..." Shinji hung his head down and ball up his fist.
"They are none of your concern," another voice came in. "I didn't send them to save you, I have my own reasons."
Shinji looked up in surprise. "Otou-san."
"Clear the room major"
"Everyone out." Misato hold the door for everyone. Reika looked over her shoulder at Shinji who smile softly at her and nodded, then she left with the others.
"You did not inform me of your...escapade before you came to NERV, but I was informed. I want to warn you that I own you now, you are mine to do as I please, you will not die until I tell you, from the point that you joined NERV to the point to die, you belong to me.."
"I belong to no one..." he looked up at the commander, his eyes once again took its' glowing form. "and you can go to hell for all I care, father"
Gendo's expression was grim, yet no one saw. Suddenly his gun was drew and a shot rang through the NERV's building.
Unable to hold in the cried, Shinji scream as the bullet shed through his injured shoulder. As sudden as it came, he stop his cried and whimpered as the doctors and his close friends came through to see the indifferent commander put his gun back in its' holster.
"They will be dealt with a proper punishment." with that he walked out.
Bastard. Exhausted, Shinji felt the sudden wave of blackness took over and fell back on his pillow. 'I just hope it last forever this time.'

"Such a high tech stuff, I can't believe they spend people's good money for this stuff." stepping out of the elevator Shnji walked down the hall to and stopped as he saw the two culprits he was looking for.
"Nice of you to join us Ikari." Mireiyu said brightly. "I hope you came to get us out of these cells."
Taking a brief look at Mireiyu's outfit he suddenly grimace at the rags, turning to look at her partner he know suddenly felt bad for them.
"I sorry" Shinji replied softly. Looking through his bag he produce two new pairs of shirts and jeans. "I though Misato was about your size and Rei is about Yumuri's. I hope they're okay." he was about to hand them over when he suddenly notice what was holding them. "Electical feild."
"The power box is above you" Yumuri looked up.
He winced at the look of her bruised cheeks. He shuddered, and then shook his head. "They would know that where you would try to do to escape." digging into his bag once again he brought out a hand hold code scanner.
Access deny...intruder alarm in t minus 10 second..
"Damn, I know this was too easy" he panicked.
5...4...
Yui......access granted.
The electrical field on both side came down. And the alarm rang every which way. Blaring the panicked voice of Mirreiyu's.
"We have less than 20 minutes before this place is filled with section 2, get dress." he yelled over the alarm, and tossed them their guns and extra clips, and drew his sword.
"Why are you helping us?." Yumuri winced as she pulled her jeans and shirt on.
"I don't know" Shinji whisper, suddenly surprise at his own act of kindness to those that were trying to kill him. He didn't know if she had heard it or not but his mind suddenly snapped into place as gunshot was heard.
"I thought you said 20 minutes." Mireiyu came to his side followed by Yumuri.
"I was wrong." Shinji laughed as they dashed to the elevator, laying low, as the self-defense machine gun started firing. "They're going to seal all the hatches, and fill it up with LCL. We have to get to a higher ground. They'll be waiting for us if we use the elevator." they nodded knowing what exactly what was need to be done. "Will you be okay for a little climb?"
They nodded again.
Getting out of the elevator was easy, but the climb was going to be hell. With his injured shoulder, and their multiple bruises, he knew it's going to be worst than hell.
"I..thought you said it was a little..climb."
Looking down at Mireiyu who was doing her best to hold herself up as well as provide Yumuri's help as well.
He laughed feebly, "I was wrong?" and continued the climb. "They will probably have teams coming down about now, I didn't think they would rough you up so bad, I've small explosives just in case, one should be enough to blow up the door, by the time they get there, we'll be out of here. Level one entrance is just up ahead."
The two females grunted in reply.
Reaching the elevator door, he place the explosive in the center and slide down to Mireiyu. Looking at his time watch he counted backward. 3..2...BOOM!!
The explosive sent out a small wave of gust filled with small metals that briefly gash Shinji's arm and cheek, making a small cut. Disregarding the small cuts, he climb as fast as he could and pulled himself on the ledge, and gave a hand to pull Mireiyu and Yumuri up. As he was about to draw his sword out again he suddenly stopped himself, and put it back and drew the gun from his holster.
"I didn't know you carried one." Mireiyu said as she looked up and down the hall ways.
"Special occasion."
"Someone is coming this way." Yumuri closed her eyes as she tried to regain her breathe.
"Do you think you can go on. It's about a mile from here to the packing lot." Shinji looked at Yumuri and turned to Mireiyu for guidance.
"That will take at least 5 minutes, with both of us injured, maybe 7, that if we don't run into unwanted companies." Mireiyu looked a bit worried.
"I'll be fine, Mireiyu." Yumuri loaded her gun.
Shinji nodded. "Ready?"
Yumuri nodded.
"Follow me" he took off with a sudden burst of energy, and took out as much security cam as he could leaving the rest to Mireiyu and Yumuri to deal with.
A shot rang out behind them and Shinji took a second to look back and cursed at his worst of lucks.
"They're going to try and cut us off from the front and rear. Our best hope is that there are no self-defense machine guns at every corner. If we're lucky the commander won't want anything other than torture you." looking to Yumuri who was huffing air, breathless. At sound of shooting from behind them, he saw the group of twelve section 2, running after them. "We have got to go" with that he place two sensor explosives on each wall. Smiling at his brilliant plan, he lead them away.
As they reached the door to the parking lot, there was a large explosing that went off making the fire alarm go off.
Mireiyu laughed a bit, but wince as her rips didn't agree with the joke. After basically carrying the blond woman, and the dark hair girl, he rest Mireiyu in the back and Yumuri in the front seat, and took the driver's seat.
"They have sealed the exit entrance Ikari." Yumuri said softly as she finally regain her breathe.
Taking out his remaining explosives, he grinned at her, she gave him...a blank expression. "Up to you to have no fun, where's your sense of adventure." he took one explosive and lob it a car, at the impact, the bomb went off and rest of the car park went with it in a big....explosion?
Every where they turn, cars that he drove pass went off in a domino-effect.
The alarm went off even louder, foot soldier went taken into action. Yet without being about to get close to them they had no chance.
Taking out two more explosives, Shinji grinned wickedly and hand it to Yumuri. "We'll be passing the gate entrance soon. You know what to do."
"What about me?" the voice behind them told him Mireiyu was out of her nappy nap mood.
Tossing her his gun and went back to driving. "Help with the coving fire."
"Fine."
Approaching the entrance gate was much easier than he had expected. The foot soldier were not seen any where. Too easy if he really thought about it.
"They have place a bug in the car." Yumuri said suddenly.
"Do you think you can debug it before we reach the gate?"
"Iie, Mireiyu-san?"
"I got it."
There was a long silence before, he heard Mireiyu's gasp. "What? what is it?"
"We got a bigger problem than a bug, there a god damn bomb."
Shinji laughed. "Oh sorry, it's my, I brought in case I needed it, you know? emergencies."
"This is big enough to blow up this place."
"That's right..It's a small version of N2 mine." he sang.
Wide eyed Mireiyu was stunned at what he was proposing. "You're willing to blow your father's life, just to get us out."
He shook his head in amusement. "not everything is about you, besides, I don't mind helping out Yumuri" he winked at the girl sitting next to him. Again, she gave him a weird look.
Mireiyu had an 'O' expression and giggled.
"Ready?" he asked as they got closer to the gate. He turned to Yumuri and nodded. As she threw the bomb, he stepped on the gas and race through anything that they would meet outside. Yet he wasn't sure what he saw was exactly what he had in mind.
Nothing. No ground troops, police, section 2, nor guard.
"Nothing?" he was pissed. 'He wouldn't take me seriously until I give him something to be concern about.'
"Well I for one am glad." Mireiyu laid back down on the back seat.
"Are you okay? Mireiyu" Yumuri looked back at her partner with concerned look.
"she'll be fine when we get to the safe house." Shinji replied and stepped on the gas a bit more. He was going at about sixty miles an hour and now eighty-five.
"You got a safety house?" the blond hair woman asked in excitement.
Shinji nodded. "Just outside Tokyo III, I took my step-daughters there so they could be safe. Let things cool down first. It's summer vacation anyway so the school doesn't expect anything, and NERV doesn't care as long as I can pilot."
"That will be fine as long as I have a place to take a hot bath."
Looking at the girl next to him. "What do you think Yumuri?"
"That would be fine" she said dully.
"You sound exactly like Ayanami, but even she said more than that"
She shrugged.
Shinji sweat-drop.
"Stop bothering the girl. It's not everyday when we get beaten up by a boy." Mireiyu winced as she waved her injured hand.
"I hope I didn't hurt you too much, it was luck basically. I'd had thought they fixed it." he said spitefully.
"They did" Yumuri answered.
Shinji glanced at Yumuri's collar bones which looked healed, well other than bruises all over her body, that wasn't news, it was doubled for Mireiyu.
"Yeah they did fix us," there was a small pause as Mireiyu tried to lay on her back. " just so we live to have some more."
"Well I'm guessing you're just have to wait to kill me later." Mireiyu laughed at that. Glancing over to Yumuri, he saw the tiny curve on the dark hair girl's lips, and smiled to himself for getting that much out of her.
The rest of the trip was silence as he let the Noir took their needed rest, and drove all the way outside Tokyo III. Stopping at a car dealer place he woke up the two and help them out of the car, sold it for the first offer and bought an oldest car he could find. Ignoring the questioning stare from his companions he helped them into an old Toyota.
After a couple of mile away, he answered their question with the large explosion that came about three miles back.
"I didn't feel like stealing a car, so I thought it would be fun if the commander thought I die of the small car explosion. The old car because I want to keep a low file before I blow up the place. The car dealer didn't expect a thing. Clever huh?"
Yumuri shook her head. "What are you going to do now that you're free? You can't go back to Tokyo III with your family if you wanted to. If you do, the commander will know that you helped us escape, what will happen to your step-daughters. They can't visit you because they'll be keeping tab on them."
Crap..CRAP...CRAP!!! He stopped the car in a halt. "Damn." before he knew it, he had already made it to their safe house by accident, and he stopped at exactly perfect time.
"we can think about it after we clean up." Mireiyu rest a hand on his shoulder in sympathy. He nodded and help her and Yumuri out.
Looking up and down the street, Shinji made sure he didn't see anyone, and stumbled with the assassins up the door and rang. Upon seeing the face of Hikari, Shinji motioned to the two injured people, and she helped them in.
"Are you okay?" Hikari looked him over to see if he was hurt.
"I'm fine, did it work."
"Yeah, everything went as plan, Misato and Asuka are still waiting for you to call.." she started and stopped as he slapped his forehead.
"Did they make sure it wasn't tape." Mireiyu looked up from the couch.
"I don't know," Hikari looked at her strangely, "I don't think we have met, I'm Hikari." she extend her hand to greed the woman.
"If I tell you I have to kill you" Mireiyu slapped her hand away.
Shinji looked on with an amazed expression.
Hikari looked at her with daggers. "That was rude! For someone who was saved by Shinji you should be grateful to his friend. I happens to be his....umm sister" she said in a foulest mood Shinji had ever seen.
'This is even worst than Hikari vs. Asuka'
Instead of saying anything, Mireiyu pulled out her gun. That shut Hikari's mouth faster than anything else could.
"HEY!" Shinji grabbed it away. "we don't need that, we're all friends." Turning nervously to Hikari, "Why don't you go and get the first aid kit? I talk to them" she nodded silently and ran away.
Looking fiercely at Mireiyu whom seems to think it was funny. "You guys better make peace, I have two others that I don't want to be hurt by your language or violence. And no shooting in the house." he soften.
"Yes mother." Mireiyu teased, and turned to smiled at her partner who seems to be taking mental note of what had went on. "relax Yumuri"
"I have never seen you act like this when we were living with each other."
'That must be the longest sentence I heard from her.'
"That's because we always seems to be after someone. It's nice to take a rest for a change."
"I don't know if I like it." Yumuri spread on the bed.
"It's always nice if you don't have to kill people for a living." Shinji joined as he inspects Mireiyu's cuts and bruises.
"I always thought it was a rush. But more of it is the journey we take, the traveling, the hunt, and especially being hunted." Mireiyu whispered.
"Onii-sama," turning to the door Mireiyu saw a little girl, shyly twirling her brown hair, blushing in embarrassment.
"Reika," she ran into Shinji's arms. "Aren't you suppose to be taking a nap?"
"I did tell her to" Jui came across the room. "But she said that she want to sleep on that..bed" Jui trailed as she look at the bed occupied by a girl she doesn't know. "That's now occupied by some stranger."
"I am not a stranger." Yumuri said quietly.
Jui, not expecting that, took a drastic measure. Shinji could see the fire in her eyes like it did to her older sister's.
"Then who might you be stranger..." she put the emphasis on stranger, and place her hand on her hip and stood her ground.
"If I tell you I would have to kill you." she answers. In the background, Shinji could hear Mireiyu's small giggle.
"Onii-sama, she is scaring me." Reika pulled closer to him.
He smiled down at the poor girl. "Don't worry, she was just kidding..." he glared at Mireiyu, she stopped her giggle and whisper something softly to Yumuri.
"I apologize, I was...kidding" Yumuri said softly.
"See, what did I tell you?" the little girl brighten up quickly, "Now go to sleep, I'll wake you up when it's snack time and bring you something," looking up at the stood still Jui, "You too Jui." Jui nodded and grabbed Reika's hand and dashed out the door.
"I told you to be nice." He looked over his shoulder at Mireiyu and Yumuri.
Meeting his glaze with her defiance look, "It was true. Besides, haven't you heard, 'curiosity kills the cats'"
"They aren't cats. And if you or Yumuri, as much as touch a single hair on my daughters, I WILL hunt you down and kill you. Do we understand each other." Shinji stared darkly at both Mireiyu and Yumuri.
Neither of them was able to move for a moment, and it was Mireiyu who nodded meekly.
Shoving his hands into his pants pocket, he walked out of the door as Hikari walked in, smiling brightly at Shinji, who raise an eyebrow, and looked questioningly at her mood swing.
"I take care of the bandaging, don't worry about it." She stood up on her tiptoe and gave him a soft kiss on the lip.
"I'll be in the hot spring if you need me." He gave a small wave as he retreated for a nice hot bath.
~~~
When Shinji was out of the sight, Hikari took up the job of nursing Mireiyu and Yumuri.
'The sooner they are better the sooner they get out of here.' She thought to herself as she tightens the bandages on Mireiyu.
"Could you try to be more gentle?"
"Sorry, but I'm not a nurse you know. Besides stop being such a baby."
"Bitch" Mireiyu whispered through her teeth, and winced again as Hikari tighten the bandage even harder.
"That's all I can do, but it would be much better if you can get a doctor." Hikari suggested, grinning inwardly.
"Nice try bitch, but I'm not leaving until I know that Yumuri and I are safe from NERV. Besides, we have a job to do still, so we'll be here a while."
"What is your so call job anyway, you can't be pilots." Hikari looked at them from head to toe.
"That is none of you business." Yumuri finally said something after the long silence.
"If it involves Shinji, it is my business, besides, I'm the one who arranged all this, at least you could tell me something" Hikari whined.
"In due time Hikari," Shinji walked in, his lower half wrapped in towel, the other soaked from the hot bath. Water was still dripping from his hair.
'He look like a sun god' Hikari thought breathlessly.
As for Mireiyu, she looked appreciative at the sight. Yumuri just seems to be staring.
The male anatomy always had been quite interesting. Her eyes lingered at the lean young man, and the slightly bulged lower area where his sex would be. Her hand itch to feel them, yet she stopped. For the same reason she can't say that she felt something for the young man who defeated her in combat.
"See something you like Yumuri" Mireiyu observe the girl as she blushed lightly yet she had no idea that she was doing it.
"No." Yumuri said plainly, and turned away from the half naked Shinji.
"How many rooms are there, Hikari?" He ruffled his hair.
"Three" Hikari said shyly. "Yui and Reika are sharing one, your friends can have this one.and."
"I'll sleep on the couch" He didn't feel like fooling around with Yumuri and Mireiyu staying next door.
"Oh no you're not. You're sleeping with me whether you like it or not" Hikari said fiercely.
"I don't mean to interrupt you but, why do you get to tell him where to sleep." Mireiyu said sourly.
Hikari turned to face the older woman with a glare. "Because I can, and mind you own business."
"come on guys, I really want to.." the telephone stopped him from going on. With a tinge of worry he picked up the phone but didn't say anything.
"Shinji? Hello!?"
"Major!! How did you get this number?"
"Hikari told me" Shinji looked over his shoulder to Hikari who shrugged. "Anyway, I need to inform you that you are needed at the HQ, asap."
Shinji flinched. His father knew? How can that be possible.
"The commander agreed to drop all the charges as long as you get back here. There seems to be some trouble with Unit 01."
"Where is he now?"
