Chapter three: A new look for a plain girl.

Tokyo-3 August twentieth 2015

Benji parks in a mall and he says:

Okay this is the best place to buy clothes.

And they get out from the bike and walk inside the mall. The black Nerv car stops and the two agents follow the teens. Benji and Rei walk around the mall. Rei is looking around the shops with a bit of interest. And Benji says:

Have you been here before?

And she says:

No. Is the first time that I came to this place.

And Benji says:

Really? Well before we get you new clothes let's take a look around.

And she nods and they move around the mall for a while. After a one hour trip they stop at a shop and Rei says:

Now what?

And Benji says:

Well pick clothes to yourself. I can give my opinion. But it will be better if you pick then.

And Rei nods looking around the cloth hangers. Benji sees the to Section-2 agents by the door way. He waves at then and Azusa far friendlier than Sakura does the same. Benji motion to the duo gets closer. And they get closer and Azusa says:

Anything wrong?

And Benji says:

Well you two are girls right?

And Sakura says angrily:

So what we can work as well as men.

And Benji says:

You got me all wrong. Rei taste for clothes is as plain as a road. So you two have a female fashion sense cold give her some advices.

And Azusa says:

We can do that.

And Sakura says:

But sir that is not our assignment.

And Azusa says:

Part of it is. Remember watch over the first child. Help whatever her guardian needs us.

And Sakura says:

I don't think that the commander meant go shopping with her.

And Azusa says:

You asked for help right?

And Benji says:

Yes.

And Azusa says:

Are we keeping an eye on the first child?

And Benji says:

Yes.

And Azusa says:

Is on our mission parameters Sakura.

And Sakura says unwilling:

I still don't like it.

And Benji says:

Okay she needs pajamas, clothes to go out, clothes to stay in home, clothes to wear in a walk something casual, underwear, socks, stockings and pantyhose's.

And Sakura says:

And how you know that she needs all that?

And Benji says:

Well because I helped her to hang her clothes after wash then. She only has three school uniforms, four pair of socks and four sets of underwear.

And Azusa says:

By set you mean bra and panties?

And Benji nods. And Azusa says surprised:

Jesus a girl should have more than that.

And Azusa says:

Let's go Sakura. As women we have to help that lost girl to get some decent clothing.

And she drags the younger one to Rei. Two hours and many dozens clothes later Benji, Rei, Azusa and Sakura leave the store. And Azusa says:

Okay that must hang well until the winter.

And Benji says:

Only that jacket is okay?

And Azusa says:

She has three. And if is really cold the leather one will be great.

Rei is now wearing dark blue jeans pants, same color sneakers, a white t-shirt, a black leather belt on the pants, and a slight loose black leather belt hanging on her hip and a dark blue jeans jacket. And Rei says:

Now I look like I was in that game. Even the belts are the same.

And Benji says:

It is not bad.

And Sakura says:

Game?

And Benji says:

To pass the time. What you two will do now?

And Azusa says:

First I will put the clothes on the car. Sakura will stay with you two. After it are up you two.

And Benji says:

I guess that we could go to a market. We need groceries.

And she nods and they move away. Two more hours later Benji, Rei and the two agents enter on the teen apartment loaded with bags and he says:

Food on the balcony. Clothes on Rei's room.

And they nod. Benji and Azusa moves to the kitchen and Sakura and Rei moves to Rei room. And they leave soon. And Benji says:

You two want to drink anything?

And Azusa says:

I would like some water.

And Sakura says:

Water too.

And Benji serve then a glass of water. And Azusa says:

I guess that all this will hold for a while.

And Benji says:

One month more or less.

And he sits on a chair and Azusa says:

Kid your bandage is stained.

And Benji touches the bandage on his neck and he says feeling it slight damp:

Damn.

And he removes it and Sakura says seeing a thin line of blood leaving the not fully closed wound:

All this walking and carrying the bags must have opened a bit the wound.

And Azusa says:

Where is the first aid kit?

And Benji says:

On the bathroom.

And Azusa moves away and soon she returns and cleans the wound and she says:

It is not bad. Only a small opening. Leave it alone that will heal.

And she wraps a new bandage on it and she says:

I guess that it will take another week to be fully healed.

And Benji says:

Until that I should avoid increase my heart rate.

And Azusa says:

Yep. That will force the vein. So go to the school in that bike of yours.

And he nods. She finishes and she removes a pair of rubber gloves and discards then with the bandages on the kitchen trash can. And she says:

I guess that we have to leave. Keep up the work.

And Benji nods and the duo walks away. Benji see then off and he locks the door. And Benji says in front of Rei's door:

I will fix dinner. You can take a bath now if you want to.

And Rei says:

I will when I finish arranging the clothes.

And Benji says:

Okay.

And he moves to the kitchen. One hour later Benji says:

Rei the dinner is ready.

And she leaves the room and walks to the dinner table. And he says:

Okay since is your first diner here I worked on it a bit more. Steak with fries, a Cesar salad and a fruit salad for desert. Sounds good?

And Rei says:

I don't eat meat.

And Benji says:

What?

And she says:

I don't eat meat.

And Benji says:

I see. I guess that I should have asked first. I will make you something to replace the steak.

And she says:

You don't need to. The salad will be fine.

And Benji says:

Are you sure? It is too light. I can do something else for you.

And she says:

It is okay.

And she sits and Benji sits too and he says:

I guess that I should ask first. Well just leave the steak on the tray. The fries you can eat then right?

And she says:

I guess so. But I never ate then before.

And he says:

Well try one. If you don't like it is all right.

And she nods and picks one with a fork. And she takes it to her mouth and chews it slowly. Benji can't read her emotions. Her eyes are closed as if she is trying hard to feel it. And she swallows it and she says:

It taste is pleasant.

And Benji says:

That means that you liked it?

And Rei says:

It is enjoyable. But a meal should sustain you. Taste is not important.

And she picks some salad and Benji says:

Wrong Rei. A meal must sustain. But if she can also be tasteful is really important. It makes you feel good when eating.

And she says:

I eat to fill my body needs. Not to enjoyment.

And Benji says:

I don't meant to you eat all the times. But a meal with a good taste is better than one that is fully bland. Just eat what you need. But try to feel the taste.

And she says:

If you insist.

And Benji sighs and give up on convincing the girl in enjoying a good meal. And he focuses on his own food. After the dinner Benji takes the dishes to the kitchen and he places the leftovers on few plastic pots and put then on the fridge. And he began to wash the dishes. Rei moves closer and says:

Can I help with something?

And Benji says:

Sure. Dry the dishes as I hand then to you and put on that dryer over there.

And she nods. She picks a cloth on the balcony and they do the dishes together. After it Benji says:

So what you want to do?

And she says:

I am not sleepy yet. I guess that I will stay on my room until I sleep.

And Benji says:

What about watch some TV? It is a way to pass the time.

And she says:

Okay.

And they sit on the couch with a distance between then. And he turns it on and he says:

What you want to see?

And she says:

I don't know.

And Benji says:

Any preferences? A movie, cartoons, anime, soup-opera, news, anything?

And she says:

Whatever you want.

And Benji says:

Okay what about this.

And he puts on a channel and a credit begun. And he says:

Good. It has just begun.

And she says:

What is it?

And he says:

A movie. Evil night three. That is a good one.

And Rei says:

It is?

And Benji says:

Is a comedy movie. Well it was supposed to be terror but is more funny that scary.

And the movie begins. As the movie goes along Benji notice that Rei is watching it with a bit interest. And in a commercial he says:

Have you ever seen a movie before?

And she says:

Only in the school about something or in the Nerv explaining something.

And he says:

You never saw a movie only entertain yourself?

And she denies. And Benji stay in silence and the commercial ends and he think:

That the hell is going on? That girl has never been in a mall and never watched a movie. Does she where raised locked in a cave?!

And when the movies ends Benji helps a sleepy Rei to get on her bed and he says:

So it was good?

And Rei says:

It was enjoyable.

And Benji says:

Well that is good. It is a beginning.

And he laid her on the bed and covers her and he says:

Tomorrow we are supposed to return to the school. So rest.

And she nods and closes her eyes. Benji walks way and move to his own room.

Tokyo-3 August twenty first 2015

In the morning Benji wakes. He stretches carefully to not open his wound he goes to the bathroom and after do his needs and a shower he begun to fix some breakfast. While cooking the rice he calls Rei. The girl answers weakly and he returns to the kitchen. Later after the breakfast now fully wake the two leave the apartment. And on the elevator Benji says:

Here is your lunch. It is basically the breakfast in a box.

And she nods and places it on her book case. And they get in the bike. Benji rides normally and Rei with her uniform rides as a maiden. And they leave. On the way Benji easily notice the black car of the Nerv following then. But the license is different. So he knows that they are not Sakura and Azusa. In the school most of the students are in the classes. And Shinji says:

Ayanami haven't show up yet. She is going to miss classes again?

And Toji says:

Well let her be.

And the sound of an engine fills the air. And Benji and Rei enter on the school yard on his bike. He parks near of the bikes. And Rei leaves the motorcycle. She takes out the helmet and Benji does the same and they walk to the school building. All the students look at the duo by the windows. And many say:

Is Ayanami! And Himura! He almost killed Makoto! He dismantled the kendo club! And he is now with her!

And back into the room Toji says:

What the hell was that?!

And Asuka says:

That where the wondergirl doing a dramatic entrance!

And the door opens sometime later and Benji and Rei arrive. A teacher is with then. And all the students obey to Hikari commands. And the teacher says:

As you all noticed Ayanami missed many classes lately. As well Himura. By his age he where in a senior class. But his knowledge in Japanese subjects leave too much to desire so he where transferred to our class. He is only two years older than the rest of you.

And there are murmurs and the teacher says:

Ayanami return to your seat. Himura sits behind her.

And they nod and obey. Benji is wearing over his uniform a leather jacket and a black vest that is closed. And he takes out the jacket and puts on the back of his chair and he sits. And the classes move well. Taking out many messages traded by the school message system. At the lunch many groups form. Benji and Rei not part of any. And Asuka says:

She is still the same. Three weeks haven't changed her at all.

And Shinji says:

But why he is here?

And Asuka says:

I don't know.

And Kensuke says:

Maybe he is in love with Rei and he forced himself to be transferred to this class.

And Toji and Shinji look at the duo and they say:

No way. Somehow I can't see that.

And the rumors go on. And at the end of the classes Benji and Rei move away. And Kensuke stares at Benji and he says:

That is odd.

And Shinji says:

What?

And Kensuke says:

I could swear that I saw a lump on his vest right here.

And he points to under his left arm. And Kensuke says:

I could bet that was a gun.

And Asuka says:

As if they would give a gun to a teen. Specially one who send seven others to the hospital in critical state.

And Shinji says:

Asuka we have to go. We have sync tests today.

And the red head nods and they move away. A half hour later in the Nerv Misato says:

Well before we begun the tests I will introduce you two to the new agent that is working with us.

And Asuka says:

A new pilot?

And Misato says:

No. He is not a pilot. He is more to a bodyguard.

And Rei walks in wearing her entry suit. And besides her is Benji with his vest open and wearing the jacket. And he says to Rei:

Warn me before begun to undress.

And she says:

Fine.

And Asuka says:

Him?!

And Shinji stare in shock. And Misato says:

As you two know Rei where assaulted few weeks ago. She is very uncomfortable around males. But she is fine around him. So she is staying with him to control her trauma.

And Asuka says:

But why him?! You heard what he did?!

And Misato says:

Yes. And that is why he is a bodyguard.

And Benji says:

Hi.

And Shinji says scared:

Hi…

And Asuka stays quiet. And Misato says:

Ignore then. Just escort then to the test area.

And Benji nods and she says:

After the tests begun I will go pick you up.

And he nods and they move away. And Asuka says:

You just stay away from me. I don't know hat you are planning but just stay away.

And Benji ignores her and he says to Rei:

At least you haven't frozen around him.

And Rei nods. And Asuka says:

Because Shinji isn't a men.

And Benji says:

So Shinji I guess that she must have some trust in you.

Benji is plainly ignoring Asuka. And Shinji says:

I guess so.

And Asuka shouts:

Don't ignore me!

And Benji still ignoring her says to Shinji:

Well if you need some help just ask. If I can help I will.

And Shinji nods and Asuka says:

Talk to me your fucking barbarian!

And Shinji choke a chuckle with the deep red color of Asuka face. Rei hasn't an expression taking out her normal neutral tone. And Benji thinks:

Not even with this she show an emotion.

And he sighs. Later the three pilots are in the plugs and Benji is waiting for Misato. She appears and she says:

Well the tests will take few hours. So while that I where asked to train shooting with you.

And he nods. And they walk away. And in an elevator she says:

What you are carrying?

And Benji picks his gun and hands to her and she says:

The issue nine millimeters Sig-Sauer?

And he nods and she says:

I guess that is okay. I thought that they would give you something more powerful. Maybe a desert eagle.

And Benji says:

I prefer speed and more ammo than large firepower.

And Misato says:

Good answer. You carry a combat load. Cocked and loaded. The only thing between an accidental shot is the safety. Why you keep like that?

And Benji says:

To react faster. To have an extra shot. Because since I don't need to cock it I can attack in silence.

And Misato says:

Enough. That is enough reasons for me. That has a sensitive trigger?

And he says:

Hard enough to not fire by mistake and sensitive enough to fire when I want to.

And she says:

Good answer.

And they arrive in a room marked shooting range. And Misato hands to him his gun and in there she says:

You know the drill right?

And he nods and they put on protective glasses and ear protection and they begun to shoot at targets. After the first magazines they bring the targets closer and Misato says looking at his:

Not bad. The shots are a bit far of the other. But is still good. You need more practice.

In contrast to Benji target where the bullets hitted the target in more areas Misato have hitted hers on the dead center of the targets. And Benji says:

I know how to shoot. But I don't shoot often. My grandfather teached me when I was a young. He said that I have a good aim. But that I needed to work on it more.

And Misato says:

You sure needs. But it is good. Most of your shots where lethal.

And they reload and Misato says:

See the small button near of the ejecting magazine one?

And he says:

Now yes. I haven't noticed.

And Misato says:

That is to turn on the build-in laser dot. It is builded right under the barrel so is very precise.

And he says:

I don't it much.

And Misato says:

It helps to train. Try this in home. Don't aim. With the laser on and the gun with out a bullet on the barrel. Tries to make the laser hits the place where you look at it. Got it? Set a target and aim with the laser then press the trigger with the empty barrel. Then after you get used to that. You will look at a point and when you shoot you will hit that exact point.

And Benji says:

And that works?

And Misato says:

Yes. Worked with me.

And he says:

If you say so.

And they continue to train. Later the four teens plus Misato are in an elevator and Misato says:

So what you two will do now?

And Benji says:

Go home.

And he looks at his watch and he says:

Are seven in the afternoon. Rei and I have loads of homework to do.

And Misato says:

That is right. Well see you two tomorrow.

And they leave when arriving on the garage.

Tokyo-3 August twenty third 2015

It is a Sunday. After three days Benji and Rei are getting a slight better connivance. That means that Rei is no longer surprising Benji with sudden changes of clothes when he is near by or she is not wandering in the house with her birthday suit or a pair of panties. For the healthy young man that Benji is that is a bit too much for someone who should keep his blood pressure low. Not to mention the build up arousal of seeing a pretty girl naked many times. Benji is on the kitchen recovering from an incident in the bathroom. Rei walked on him while he was taking a shower. Benji is with a large piece of cardboard paper on his hand and a large pencil. In a side he writes in Japanese "otoko" and in the other he writes "onna". He picks a thick string and ties it on the corners and he gets a nail and a hammer and walks to the bathroom. He founds Rei leaving wrapped on a towel. It is still a bit too powerful scene but is ignorable. He moves to the door and he nails the nail in the door and he says:

Wait a bit Rei.

And she obeys and he says hanging the plaque:

Okay when you are using the bathroom puts the plaque as women. So I will know that you are there. And that I should knock to check if you are in. When I go in I will change the plaque to men. So you knock before entering. Understand that?

And she says:

Yes.

And he says:

Good. I can't take much more of you naked. Go get dressed.

And she nods not understanding why of his words. Benji sigh wondering if Rei will follow the just made up rule. He walks to the computer and he starts it. As soon he gets on the message you got mail show up. Benji read then and sigh. And he thinks:

Damn could have forget that today is my birthday.

And he says:

Well I guess that is a chance to her interacts with others.

And he looks at the door of Rei room and he says:

Rei are you dressed?

And she walks out of the room putting on a t-shirt. Benji blushes a bit seeing Rei white navel. He can't avoid in understanding the reasons over his former friends lust to her. He is feeling hot toward that cold girl. He knows that is only natural. But unlike his friends Benji thinks that rape is a crime that should be punished with death. Taking out situations that are beyond the control like the guy is very drunk. In that there would to have consider more factors. Since Rei is putting up a show to him and not even knowing make it hard to him keep his pressure in the low level. And he says breaking his reverie:

Rei I am going on line. Since you have a free day what about you and I go play?

And she says:

It is okay.

And she sits besides Benji and picks her controller. Benji sigh with her coldness but picks his own controller. Later Benji says:

So this time was better?

And Rei says:

It was pleasant.

Benji smile knowing that is a beginning. They move away to the Nerv.

In the Nerv base.

Misato is in an office reading a file. And Asuka walks in and she says:

Misato let's go.

And Misato says not looking at her:

Shinji test is not over yet.

And Asuka says:

Come on I am bored. I am done have a half hour.

And Misato says:

There is a mini game next to the couch in the coffee table.

And Asuka pouts but pick it up, and she says:

What you are reading with that level of attention? A beer promotion?

And Asuka chuckles at her own joke and Misato says:

No. Himura Benji files.

And Asuka says:

That barbarian?

And Misato says:

He is a nice kid.

And Asuka puts the game on her pocket and looks over Misato shoulder and the purple haired woman says:

Interested now?

And Asuka says:

I am bored anyway.

And Misato let her see it and Asuka says:

What is a Salvager?

And Misato says:

A Salvager is a person who dives in cities covered by the ocean to retrieve something.

And Asuka says:

Like what?

And Misato says:

Anything. You pay a salvager and tell that you want to then rescue a thing for you and they will do that. They are also trained in combat since there are people who try to steal what they retrieve.

And Asuka says:

What?

And Misato says:

When the water raised in a shocking fast rate people left behind many precious goods. A salvager goes get then for you for a price. But there some who just do that to keep the goods. Sometime are very precious things.

And Asuka says:

And he came from a family that did that.

And Misato says:

Yes. His grandfather teached him how to fight. And taken him to help in the trips. During his teens he went to a school and acted in a circus like theater. But few months ago he moved to Tokyo-3.

And Asuka says:

And why that?

And Misato says:

He said that he got tired of Brazil. Since with the angel attacks the prices of the houses fell. He bought his flat.

And Asuka says:

And?

And Misato says:

Well he is a normal boy who got tangled in the Nerv by mistake.

And Asuka says:

That is so boring.

And Asuka walks away. Misato smiles and she thinks:

But it is a bit odd for a teen do a trip like this all alone.

And she walks away.

End of the chapter three:
