This story is dedicated to LoveStory...one of the kind guys in ffnet (yeah, you rock!), and also for all of you who like ShinjiRei pairing. I got the inspiration from a traditional legend from my country, called Sangkuriang. I chose 'Aurora Borealis' because Aurora is a name of my sister's friend. And one day, I saw a picture in my lesson book; physics when I was still in the first grade of junior high school, it's quiet beautiful and I like it. And now…I use it because I think it's a wonderful name. Hehehe…hope you can enjoy reading it…

Is that a sin if I like my own mother?
What about if…she isn't my mother?
May be her flesh and her blood are hers…but….
what about if...her soul isn't hers?
Her soul isn't hers, right…?
Right…?
It's a tale of one of Evangelion pilot's life
When the truth turned into lies…
When no one could differ whether it's the right thing….or the wrong one…
When the tragedy of love couldn't be worse than this….

Aurora Borealis
Chapter one: Bring him in
2015, Tokyo 3
A boy was sitting on a bench in a park, waiting for something he didn't really understand. And no longer after that, a woman with long black hair enter the park and stood in front of him. "Ready for this, Shinji?" she said with a big smile and blinked her right eye. "I don't understand why I have to do this." the boy answered with an icy murmur.
"Well in order to make your relationship with your lovely otou-san better, and to make you happy, I think this is an effective way" she explained, still with confidence. "You're kidding," the boy muttered mockingly so slowly, 'til she couldn't hear him say.
"Misato, I prefer seeing your hyena smile and watching you drunk every night or buying more beer to do this," the boy murmured slowly. The woman smiled. "Well, well, well, what kind of relationship do you have with your father, Shinji-kun?" she said while fixing her sunglasses' place.
"A kind that will never be able to be fixed. Oh come on, Misato. Are you that childish not to know that it's over now?.! It's too late! Don't you think that if he wants to fic it, he has to do it long time ago! Now is too late!" the boy almost yelled at the woman, himself was filled by the anger.
The woman started to look desperate, and she pouted her lips. "You are such a difficult kid," she commented. The boy stayed in silence. "Whatever it is, you have to come with him. he wants you to live with him, and with Rei too. Come on Shinji, don't be a such stubborn boy," the woman snapped. Shinji glared at her. "What?.!" he couldn't believe it. "What? What do you mean with your 'what'?" the woman didn't catch it. "What did you say?" he choked while asking her about that.
"Um…don't be such a stubborn boy?" the woman tried to inform him. "It's not about that! Why do you think I have to hear it twice?.! Before that, before that!" He still tried to remind her. The woman thought a while. "Ah, I got it! He wants you to live together with him, and the little sweet Rei. Yah, you rock Shinji! At least you're gonna have a friend there!" she answered it spiritedly.
But her words meant nothing much for him, except the word 'Rei'. She was still saying many words, giving him spirit, trying to make him happier than before, but her words…just echoed in his head. 'Rei? She lives with Father too, now? She has already moved from her apartment? She lived with FATHER, now?' he kept asking that to himself. Finally, Misato recognized his change.
"What is it, Shin-kun?" she asked carefully.
"Ah…! Nothing…" he replied calmly.
And suddenly, her carefulness expression became a naughty smile.
"Ah….ow…ow…ow… hip hip horray for a boy that will celebrate his new move! Wait a minute, his new move?.! No! What about if it is his new…love! Why couldn't I realize it sooner?.!" Misato said it loudly, without looking at Shinji's shocked face. "New love…new love…you're drunk, "he murmured, tried to protest her. But she kept mocking him.
"What are you doing, Misato?.! Stop it! Don't shout that hard, and OUCH! HEY, no SHOUTING near my ears! Stop it, Misato stop it! HOY, MISATO!" the boy tried to stop the woman's craziness anxiously, but no matter hard he tried, it's gonna be useless. The woman, still smiling, took a glance at the stressed boy.
"What about if I cannot stop it?" she inquired. Shinji looked at her sourly. "I'm exhausted to face your weird behavior," he grumpily spoke. The woman pretended to look irritated. "Hey, nerd boy mustn't talk like that to a good-humored and sexy woman," she snapped. "Nerd boy…nerd boy…you, glittered-body major," mused Shinji, mocked her.
And they were looking each other, with grim-looked faces, in position to punch each other, a voice of food steps echoed in that quiet park. "Well, well, well, Shin-kun, it seems that we have to go now. Some one is picking up here, so we must stop this battle for a moment," after saying that, Misato turned her face and saw her friend, Ritsuko.
"Why does it take so long?" she asked Misato with her cool style.
"Don't you dare to ask that anymore, Ritsuko! It's hard to make him go with me! It's…hard! He is such a nerd boy, but at the same tim, he is really really thick-headed," she complained.
Ritsuko sighed and glanced at Shinji. "Shinji, you will move to your father's house, right?"
"I think so," he answered calmly.
The blonde-haired woman smiled, "then come," she murmured and gave her hand. Shinji took it and let her guide him to the car park. "See? It's not that hard, Misato! You just need to do it RIGHTLY," she glimpsed at Misato.
"Yeah, yeah whatever. He is cheating, cheating! Get ready, you Shinji, coz I'm gonna kick you later!" she said it and followed them.

"What's the matter with you? No talk left in you, Shinji-kun," asked Misato while she was driving ht car. Suddenly, she turned to the left fast and sharply. "Woi, woi, you're bringing a kid! Can we get there still one piece?.!" he started to be afraid and warned by Misato's driving style. "Hehehe. don't worry! This care is great and safe. The risk is low. And I'm a good driver. Yiiihaa!" Misato cheered like a cowboy. Shinji glared at her.
"Yes, I believe this care is great and safe, like you said and the risk is low. But, you're the one I worry about. You are dangerous and a die-hard type! WATCH OUT!" Shinji warned her about the car next to hers. Misato dodged from that car and prevented accident. "Gosh, Shinji! Just trust me. By the way, we're getting closer to your big grand new house," she said to Shinji, and the boy sighed.
"Misato…I like to live with you better than with him. Trust me, I'm gonna be more pathetic there! You know what kind of human he is! Terrible, sucks, awful…" he complained. Misato gazed at him and smiled…an understanding smile. "Do you hate him?" she asked. It seemed like Shinji just wanted to punch her. "Should I tell you clearly and explicitly? I thought you already knew it," responded Shinji. "Just answer me. Do you hate him?" she kept asking. Shinji turned his head, and looked at the window. Tried to enjoy the panorama outside.
"I never bear a grudge," finally he talked, event softly.
For a moment, silence was the king there. He didn't want to live with his father. He liked living with Misato and Asuka. They brought him laugh, but he wasn't sure that the new house could cheer him up like the old one could. But at the same time, he wanted to know more about Rei too. He wanted to taste living with her, and tried to be her friend.
"There you go…uou don't really hate him," Misatoo broke the silence.
"I hate him," Shinji still fought her statement.
"No, you don't" pleaded Misato, didn't agree with his argument.
"You don't' know what it is in my heart," claimed Shinji firmly.
"Stop ignoring that," Misato said lazily. But she actually wasn't annoyed with that topic, just wanted to show him that it wasn't the truth if he hated his father.
"You still don't know me, and will never know if you keep holding that kind of think, that I love my otou-san," he was still stubborn.
Misato gazed at him, and without he realized, they just stopped in front of a mansion.
"This is your new house! Okay, thank me because I have brought you here. Thank me, thank me! You thank me, Shin-kun! Now, quickly, quickly, hurry up!" Misato said cheerfully. "Thank you," he muttered without seeing the direction she pointed. "Nah, that's a good boy. Good boy…good boy…" she looked like a master talking to a dog. "Oh, stop it," he wrinkled at the corners, and got off from the car.
When he stepped the ground, and for the first time saw, really saw his new house, he was surprised.
"Wowowowowowowo……this can't be happened! You must be wrong, Misato! This can't be my father's house! A sort of jerk like him is impossible to have this kind of house," he, still shocked spluttered to Misato. "I was that surprised too when I first saw this house," she commented after got off from the car too. She put off the glasses from her face. "May…may…may…such a beautiful house, isn't it?" she continued.
And she was right. The house was absolutely beautiful and big, ancient British style. The fence was made from iron, colored copper-brown. They could saw the yard from there. There was a big and pretty fountain, and a huge yard. So many trees there, and it just looked perfect. Like a dream house. "Do you want to get in?" Misato offered him, woke him up from the surprise there. Shinji nodded, still shocked. "Come," Misato pulled him by the elbow, into the bell on the wall besides the fence.
She pressed a button.
"Who is that?" a voice went on.
"It's Katsuragi Misato, bringing the child," she answered confidently.
"Oh, Katsuragi. I see…Bring him in,"
