Chapter 3

The Doll Encounter

A week had pass since Dark Shinji had returned to Misato's apartment. He escaped school for a week. Gendo's orders, he was to get a week of being home without going to school. A servant was personally hired to take care of Shinji's duties until that week was up. Dark Shinji slumbered peacefully in his bed…except for the fact he was cold as a ice cubes. He simply rationalized that he need more quilts to sleep under. His long black lock was hiding face the light with great success. Asuka walked into his room, screaming "BAKA GET UP AND FIX MY BREAKFAST!" There was a grunt, a sneer then explosion. Dark Shinji simply ignored her and slept on.

"DIDN'T YOU HEAR ME YOU BAKA?"

"Asuka you have ten seconds to leave my room or else." Asuka laughed…then he started counting. 10...9...8...7...6...5. Asuka stood there getting angrier. 4...3..2...1. Dark Shinji stood up looking her from the impenetrable black veil of hair. A green flashes overcomes the room and he returns to his sleeping. Asuka stood there not moving staring at him. He slept for another half hour before rising. He calmly grabbed Asuka's waist, lifted her up and walked out the door with her.

"Shinji is that you?" Misato asked from the kitchen drunk as always.

"Yes."

"What happened to Asuka? I heard her yelling stop. You didn't kill her?"

"No…she was merely yelling at me in her sleep." He said emerging from Asuka after dumping on the bed and fixing her body to make it look like she was still asleep. He walked in the middle kitchen fixing his hair, making sure it was behind his back. He start fixing a small breakfast for him and Misato. Though drunk she could tell it was on a meal for two people.

"What about Asuka?" she asked.

"She is going to be under my spell for awhile."

"Oh that is good as long as she is quiet." she said…she thought about the comment for a second….

"Shinji I been meaning to ask you something?"

"What is it?" he asked in his same manner as well.

"Gendo has been acting weird lately, any ideas?"

"He is making sure I don't defile Rei." he said casually placing a plate down of rice.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?"

"I threatened if he doesn't give me what I desire, Rei would mine by the end of day."

"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED INSIDE THAT DAMN ANGEL?"

"Nothing except…" he eats his food. Just before he could finish explaining the phone rang. He looked at Misato who in turned looked at him. He stuffed his face full of food before looking at the phone. Misato sighed and got to get it.

"Hello. Oh Ritsuko…yeah he is up. What? Commander Ikari want to do what? I will tell him." She hung the phone up and returned to her meal and beer.

"What does Gendo want now?"

"Gendo?"

"It is that bastard's name, correct?"

"Okay…you were schedule for a sync test today."

"When?"

"Forty minutes from now." she mumbled at him.

"I am not going." Misato spat of her beer. Covering him in it.

"What did you say? She questioned.

"Gendo is doing this to piss me off and keep me away from Rei. I will send him a message that I don't like being toyed with." as he finished his plate and walked over to the sink. There it happened…he saw the only entity that was capable of bring about the end of his existence. They stared at each for five seconds, Dark Shinji kept reaching behind him…

"Damn it." the realization came to him. He backed away slowly until he rather loud wark caused him to run scared into his room. He sealed his door with all his powers only four beings could get in, Misato for some odd reason, Rei, himself, and the dark lord himself. He looked out the window and then back at the door…he cringed as he saw the shadow of miniature monstrosity. He turned towards his door. He summoned all the powers in his body into his hands waiting for him.

"Wark." There was only one exit, he chose to take it. With all his might he jumped, falling ten stories on his back. He laid there blood everywhere but he was content that he escaped the monstrosity. He stared up at the sky.

"I hate penguins." he said fixing to stand up. He walked away as if nothing happened, "Okay that is the second time…I died. This is so…tiring."

Dark Shinji found his way to the Nerv headquarters he first went to visit Rei but she wasn't home. He had an inkling about where she might be. So after his harmonics test left in which he found very tiring he was summoned to the Gendo's head office. The Ikari males stared at each other for awhile, one want to rip the other's head off, the other with a sadistic smile…

"Why did you summon me?" the younger Ikari inquired.

"I want to talk about your test scores." he replied.

'And?' was the look on the face of younger Ikari.

"Your scores have risen a bit."

"To what?"

"81 points. You should be proud."

"You or anyone else's opinion don't matter to me. Only her." he said pointing to the secure camera of Rei at his office door. Shinji looked at Gendo and sat down and begun to mediate in the middle of his office.

"What do you think you are doing?" was the question posed.

"It twelve precisely. I am mediating for two hours. Don't disturb me." Shinji said slowly closing his eyes. Gendo glared at him he felt the sudden urge to pull the gun from his top left add a bullet to his head.

Three days have passed and Shinji sat looking at Rei as she peered out of the window at the world. Toji had notice some big changes in his friend, his quiet reserve nature was replace with this fearless forwardness…Toji like it and so did Kensuke. Both didn't mind it that much he was still Shinji the only difference in appear was his long black hair which he always kept in a perfectly aligned braid and a pair calming emeralds at seemed shine like new money. Toji poked Kensuke, "Look at him," he whispered, "He has done everything but walked over with a club and drug her back to his lair. For something hot and heavy." Shinji cracked his neck then turned to Toji.

"I want to but she isn't the submissive type." Shinji revealed.

"How did you…" the two boys asked.

"Because I know." Asuka couldn't contain herself by that comment.

"THAT BAKA IS WATCHING WONDERGIRL." she screamed at the top of her lungs. Everyone turned to Asuka then to Shinji. He didn't blush or move he continued looking at the blue haired who looked out into nature.

"SEE. SEE." Shinji yawned then he flipped her off. Asuka was boiling. Shinji laughed at it, Kensuke moved with Toji as the redhead entered combat mode. There was nothing stopping from getting to Shinji but when she saw the look in his eyes, she froze. She remember vaguely about that look. That look brings pain that look brings suffering that look made him strong. That look made him stronger than her, and she loved it. She stood on the brink of a major decision. She loved this new Shinji he was strong and would kill her if she angered him he may even kill her for the hell of it. She wanted to worship at his feet, bear him children, then at the end of the day slaughter all of his enemies in their sleep. But he didn't have an interest in her, he wanted a doll. He want a toy, something he could play with and he wanted something he could control. She wasn't a doll but she could learn to be one for him. For him if it a doll he wanted she would become that. She would break her most sacred hatred for dolls and become one all for him. But there was a problem, there was already a doll in his eyes. For her to be his doll she would have to die. Asuka swelled up inside, giving the object of her desire a loving smile, which frightened Toji and Kensuke more then the notion that Asuka didn't bash Shinji's head in. Asuka turned away from him and lunged at the unsuspecting Rei. Within a flash the desk parted and Shinji stood like impassable wall. Shinji barely moved as Asuka bumped into his chest. Asuka looked up at him, those green eyes, those jade green pupils. The look devoured her over and over again. Stealing away her will to fight and any desire to be superior to him in anyway. She melted back into her seat, however that doll wouldn't escape her. Shinji had delayed her. He turned hoping to receive a sign from Rei, something that said she appreciated his chivalry, something that was out of character for him. But all he saw was her staring into space. He returned to his prior activity. The day passed and Kensuke and Toji left Shinji alone as he and Rei had to clean up the classroom. Asuka had resigned herself to get home before Shinji. She wanted to prove that for him she could be a better doll. Shinji stood there looking at the room.

"Rei…" he whispered.

"Yes, Shinji?" in her usual monotone way.

"why are you cleaning this filthy?"

"it is our turn."

"They are insects and you clean insect filthy."

"I do as I am told."

"Is there strength in weakness?"

"You come from a world where you are ranked among the strongest?"

"Yes."

"Then you believe that lording over someone makes you strong."

"Then can I be weak for you?" Rei blushed as she feel his warm breath on the back of her neck. He moved without her noticing it, no sound nothing. Shinji lays hand on the broom she was using and brought it to life. Shinji walked off pulling Rei with him. She followed him up to the roof and they watched the sunset underneath Dark Shinji's command.

"You told Commander Ikari that your powers lie inside death." she informed him masking her question in clever wordplay.

"I did."

"Was that a lie?" taking the direct path this time.

"No…death is the epilogue of the book. Life is it prologue. And we are the readers."

"what do you mean?"

"That we can read the book. We can write in the book if we desire. You and I are gods we should do as gods do and reign."

"I do not view myself as you do. I am no god. I am not omnipotent or omniscient. I am couldn't in my current position in my existence. I am the pilot of the Eva Unit 00 and work for the protection and evolution of mankind."

"Even if that path will lead you to your demise. Even if you evolve your children to a point where the guiding hand of the mother isn't needed. And you are cast into the abyss by the very entities that you want to protect. Left to be discarded by the humanity. Humanity is flawed and it is that flaw which makes that deserving of suffering of death." Shinji roared looking over at the moon.

"You are wrong. It that flaw that I find most enjoying, they are willing to cast away everything if it means their survival. I will do my best to protect that."

"Is that what you desire? To be beneath when you could be on top?"

"……." Shinji had at this time had expected means answers or a variation of the one he received but he didn't expect to receive that on directly.

"Why do you serve him?'

"Why do you wish to serve me?"

"That is different."

"How?"

"I still love you."

"Even though I am not the same entity that desire. From the mystical descriptions, I don't even look her." Shinji looked at her and then sighed.

"……"

A/N

Grrrrrr….finally this chapter is done. Sorry for the lateness, finals were brutally and projects kicked me in my side. Thanks for your nice reviews. Oh and answer to one in particular, No I don't think that I made Shinji to powerful I gave him the correct amount of power befitting his position as grand necromancer, angel of the sun, and another universe's Adam. I put heavy limitations like most of his powers require his fetish to use unless it is a particular object he is focused on. Coming up next: Asuka's nude body and Unit 03
