Chapter 8

Sitting at the pool side, Anata couldn't get over the fact that she again had to ware a one peace, all while Fiona just looked out in to nothing.

"I can't believe this, a one peace…. God I feel like I back in middle school." Anata grumbled. "I mean why are we doing this again sis?"

"I don't know….."

"I mean this is stupid isn't it?" Anata asked herself or who ever was listening to her. "I mean we're goddesses and we can't even just break in to some high tech lab and just find things that we'll need to get out of this place." She whispered to Fiona.

Hearing that idea Fiona turned to her sister with a displeased look. "I can't even believe that you would even suggest such a thing. We as Goddesses must in a universe must be….. Just no. We're not going to even think about a thing like that." Fiona said clearly mad about the whole idea.

Anata just crossed her arms in front of her chest and pouted. "Chill, it was just an idea… Wow, what has you on edge all of a sudden?"

"It's about last night… sorry about snapping at you……"

"Morisato! You're up!" The Gym teacher called making both sisters look up.

"Me!" They both asked in unison making the Gym teacher scratch his head.

"Uh… Fiona, you're up!" HE answered. "Under water swim, see how many laps down and back."

Mean while out in the forest, a team of both lab techs and armed guards slowly surrounded the mass of rock that seemed to appear in the middle of the forest out of no where.

"Alpha team advance thirty feet, and await further instructions." A voice said over

Doing as they where ordered the armed guards moved forward silently through the forest to where the Rock was in sight. The guards took their aim on the rock. As the second team moved in from the rear wearing radiation suites. In the Geo Front Commander Ikari watcher from a set of monitors showing each techs point of view.

"Secure the item in a zero class confident lab. Then flood it with LCL." The commander said over the radio.

Behind him Ritsuko watching things vary closely as she explained how they found this rock. "While tracking down the four different power readings that's been popping up all over Tokyo-3 we discovered this power reading had the exact opposite from one of the four we're fallowing. We believe that this may be a form of Angle that has yet to be born sort of speak."

"Commander." A voice said over the radio. "New developments."

"Yes what are they?"

"Sir, it seems this rock has a power out put that is like that of an S-2 engine. We attached a probe to the surface, and the readings are what predicted from the research team of the second branch of NERV."

"Vary well, continue with your operations."

At the corner store, Raziel had just finishing checking out a customer… No really checking out a customer. Raziel watched as a really, really, really attractive purple hair woman dig around the huge fridge of beer. He watched as she picked up a 24 pack of Yebisu in one hand and in the other several different types of junk foods.

'She's like my mom…' Raziel thought to himself.

The woman brought her things to the counter and Smiled at him. "Hi… this is it for the day."

"For today?" Raziel asked. "You get this everyday?"

"Yep."

"My mom is like that…. Oh well." Raziel said as he scanned the beer. Then he looked up to the woman. "I need to see some ID please."

Rolling her eyes the woman produced an ID, taking it Raziel read the age. The woman, Misato Katsuragi was only 28.

"28… Sorry I had guessed you for younger."

Misato smiled and placed her hands on to the counter top then leaned forward. "Ant that sweet, are you trying to come on to me?" She asked with a giggle.

"Uh…" Raziel started to shake. "No… I have a girl friend……"

Just a man walked in, he had his hair pulled back and looked like he hadn't shaved in days. "I'm sorry… She can be a hand full some times."

"It's no problem." Raziel said slightly having no clue on what's going on.

"Come on Misato…. Sorry again."

"Well yeah bye… Kaji what do you think you're doing!"

Raziel watched as the two walked out and watched as the man gave the purple haired woman a slap of the butt. Raziel shrugged his shoulders and went back to his work.

Hours pass and the sun starts to set over the city of Tokyo-3, Fiona and Anata walk back to their apartment. Each in their own thoughts. Fiona's thought where still on the events that took place the night before while Anata's thoughts where… Well on something less important.

'Damn… Kou and I still need some much needed alone time, as much as I hate to think like this but I need to think of a way to ditch Fiona and Raziel.' Anata thought to her self, not paying any attention to what was going on around her. "Say Fiona… Umm mind if I ask you something?"

"Uh, Yeah what is it?"

"Well… It's like this, Kou and I need to do something things and…. Yeah I hope that you don't mind us going back out again." Anata asked.

Fiona stopped and looked at Anata with a questioning look, trying to figure out what her sister was talking about. Anata just gave her look that said think about.

"I can't believe you two." Fiona said with a smile. "Yeah I find something for me and Raziel to do; we'll go and look around the city or something."

"That's a good idea… Well I'll meet you at the apartment; I need to look for an other job." Anata said as she slung her school bag over her shoulder.

"What happened to the one you got the other day, Sis?"

Just before Anata was about to tell Fiona about how much her new boss was a pervert a blue sports car puttered passed them, they watched as the small car slowly pulled over to the side of the road then steam soon fallowed from the front of the car.

"What happened?" Fiona asked looking over at Anata.

"Beats me…. But what ever the problem is, it sure didn't sound good."

The two sisters watched as a purple haired woman and a guy with his hair pulled back crawl out.

"Misato, when was the last time you had your car looked at?" The guy asked.

"When I had to pick up Shinji from the train station when he first came here to Tokyo-3…. Why?" the woman replied as she opened the hood to the car.

Fiona watched as the guy counted out something on his hands… "Misato that was almost six months ago."

"Kaji don't started with me, I've been working you know… something you can't say much about." Misato hissed. "You're a guy fix it."

"Sorry Misato if I could I would, but I'm not a car person. The most I can do is put gas in it and maybe change the oil."

Looking to help them out, Anata walked up to the purple haired woman and the guy. "Anata what are you doing?"

"I'm just going to see if I can help its okay." Anata replied. "… Umm excuse me, is everything alright?"

Looking around the hood of the car, Misato saw a schoolgirl about the age of sixteen maybe seventeen… "Yeah, if you have a cell phone can I please barrow it to call for a tow truck?"

"I don't have a phone, but if you don't mind can I look at it?" Anata asked as she looked around the hood in to the car.

Misato kind of smiled and looked at the schoolgirl. "Knock your self out."

Anata looked around at the engine and other parts to the car. She then unplugged the spark plugs, checked the oil, the transition fluids. Thinking that the problem is the alternator, she placed her hand over it and used a small amount of her powers; fixing the problem. Misato didn't see this little display of magic. She watched as the girl closed the hood.

"Mind if I start up the car." Anata asked. "By the way my name is Anata, Anata Morisato. What's yours?"

"Misato Katsuragi… What did you do?" Misato asked.

Anata placed her hand on to the car and leaned on to it. "Well I think you might have had some lose wires so I tightened what I could…" Before Anata could finish what she was saying she was dealt a shock from the system for lying. She quickly removed her hand from the hood of Misato's car. "Ouch… Yeah so mind starting it?" Anata asked again as she rubbed her hand. Seeing this Fiona knew what had happened. She waited until the woman got back in the car to ask her question.

"Okay I'll start it back up." Misato said.

Getting in Misato pressed down on the clutch and pressed down on the break, then started up the car. "Wow! Thanks!"

Fiona then asked her question. "There was something else wrong other then lose wires?" She whispered.

"Yeah… No problem, I would take to what ever shop you take your car too to get the problem fixed for sure."

Just then Rei came around the corner on her way home too. Seeing her, Anata turned and waved. "Hi Rei what to walk home with us?"

Rei turned around and waited for Fiona and Anata. Misato saw Rei with people, other then NERV personal. "Well hope you can get that Alpine A310. Bye!"

Misato watched as the three girls walked away, hearing Kaji get in to the car, she fastened her seat belt.

"Well isn't that nice, Ayanami is opening up to people." Kaji said.

"Yeah….."

Back at the Katsuragi house hold, Asuka and Shinji had long since returned home from an other long and boring day at school. Shinji worked in the kitchen fixing something to eat for him and Asuka, all while Asuka lay on the living room floor lazily watched TV.

"Shinji what are we going to do tonight? I'm board." Asuka whined.

In the kitchen Shinji shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know…" Shinji replied. As he went on to making dinner, he remembered what Kou had said the other night. So he cleaned his hands took off the apron and walked in to the living room.

Once in the living room, he sat down on the couch and waited for Asuka to notice him. It didn't take long…

"What?"

"After we eat, maybe we can go on back out again tonight?" Shinji asked. "Find something fun to do again."

Rolling over so she get a better look, she gave Shinji a questioning look. "What you asking me out again?" She asked.

Shinji rolled his eyes. "Maybe… but if you don't that's okay with me too…" Shinji said then he got back up and walked back to the kitchen.

Asuka watched as Shinji walked back in to the kitchen, she sat there thinking about what he had said. Then it hit her. Shinji had just played her… Big time; getting up she walked over to the kitchen and stood there watching Shinji fix dinner.

"I said it once and I'll say it again. There is nothing more pathetic then a domesticated male."

"Maybe but someone here needs to make sure that everyone gets fed." Shinji said with out looking at Asuka.

"Okay I'm up for your little idea, but I pick the place." Asuka said then she went back in to the living room to watch more TV.

When Shinji was sure that Asuka was back in the living room, he smiled to him self. 'I cant believe that it really worked.'

Back across town, Anata and Fiona along with Rei finally reached the apartment complex. "Rei why don't you join us at our place for something to drink?" Fiona asked.

Rei rubbed her forehead. "It is rather hot out…"

"Then it's settled, come on Rei…. I don't think Kou picked up any booze but I'm sure there is something there to drink." Anata added.

"I do not drink alcohol, I am underage." Rei stated.

"Yeah Anata we're underage." Fiona said looking over at Anata.

"Yeah, Yeah I get that crap all the time from Kou, I really don't need it from you; y'know." Anata said.

The three made their way up the stairs, when they reached the apartment Anata started to fish around in her school bag for the keys. "I know they're in here… So Rei what would you like to drink. I think Kou picked up some pineapple juice, a think of apple juice, I think so soda too." Anata said finally finding the keys. "Oh here they are…"

When she put the keys in to the key hole, she had found that it was unlocked. "Hay, it's unlocked… Someone might be already home."

Opening the door the three girls found Kou sleeping there in the sun light. He had seemed that he had a long day. Smiling Anata walked over to her love and brushed a stray hair out of his face, then cracked the window for him. 'There he should sleep better…' Anata thought to her self. Then she turned around to see Rei completely mesmerized. "What's wrong Rei?" Anata whispered.

"You care greatly from him?" She asked.

Anata smiled. "Yeah he takes care of me when ever I get into trouble so when ever he's feeling under the weather or I come across him like this I do what I can."

Fiona then looked over from the fridge. "What do you guys want?"

"Apple will be fine for me." Rei replied.

"Me too… Come on we should go to the roof, if that's alright with you Rei?" Anata asked.

Moments later the girls where on the roof over looking the city of Tokyo-3 watching the sun slowly set across the city sky line. The three didn't say a thing.

"This city is something… Why are there sky scrappers in the ground?" Anata asked.

"You know after watching the building grow from the ground I wondered the same thing." Fiona added.

Finishing off her apple juice, Anata looked over at Fiona and Rei. "I want to know about those huge robot things, Rei You lived here way longer then us. What are they?"

Rei took a sip of her juice then looked over at the Morisato sisters. "It is a bond to all living things."

Fiona and Anata gave the blue haired girl a questioning look.

"They are a bond to you, your sister, your lover that's sleeping. A bond not to just the people of this city but to all of humanity." Rei went on to say, still making the sisters lost.

"Rei… that was deep, two deep for me…" Anata said scratching her head.

Fire... hate... sadness, these things the red one knows. The Red one will help me...
