Chapter 3

New Obsession

Dr. Yukio Tanaka smiled, watching as the new Eva arrived. The beast was amazing to look at, black armor and a large sword attached to its left hand. He knew his son would control one of the beautiful beasts and hoped Nataku wouldn't disappoint him.

"Wow," said a young woman's voice behind him. "That's mine?"

Tanaka whipped around to find a beautiful young woman about seveteen standing there. Her hair was like a blanket of silver satin, falling down her back in long waves, and her eyes, like his one, were silver. She wore a long black coat, a black corset with three silver chains attached to it, a black miniskirt, and thigh-high suede boots. He had never seen a creature so gorgeous and the dark energy about her was almost breathtaking.

"Oh, Ms. Kurosaki!" he said, realizing who she was. "Welcome to NERV. I'm Doctor-"

"Yukio Tanaka," she drawled, looking at him. "I hear you have a practice in Kyoto. How's things coming?"

"Very fine, thank you," he smiled, taking off his glasses and cleaning them with the kerchief from his breastpocket. Was she really this beautiful?

"What happened to your eye?" Kurosaki questioned, noticing his mechanical eye.

"I lost it during the Second Impact," he replied, honestly. "A rock managed to nail me in the eye, so now I have this." He put his glasses back on and folded his arms, feeling very pleased with himself.

"Fascinating," she said, sighing. "Do you know where I'm supposed to be staying?"

"You'll be staying with me!" said a happy voice behind her.

Tanaka sighed, heavily, and shook his head, having already met the infamous Major Katsuragi. Kurosaki turned around and jumped back against him in surprise at how close Katsuragi was. He put his hands on her upper arms.

"Easy," he said, smiling. "This is Major Katsuragi."


Yuzuhria looked up at him. This guy Dr. Tanaka was drop dead gorgeous! Even if he did kind of sound like he was talking through he nose, he was gorgeous, and he had her in his arms. She felt her knees go weak and sighed in an almost swooning manner. Gaining her independence back, she stepped forward a step and shook her head. What is wrong with me? Swooning over some guy? Come on, Yuzuhria! Keep your wits about yourself! she mentally reprimanded herself.

"Sorry," the woman smiled. "I'm Misato. You'll be staying with me. Well, it's not just me. We've got Shinji and Asuka and Kaji but other than that it'll be just us!"

"Kaji?" she asked. Where had she heard that name before? Ryoji Kaji, secret spy for the Japanese, she recalled meeting him once in the park, though she hadn't known at the time that Kaji was an agent.

"Well, Ms. Kurosaki," said Kaji, approaching them with a tall young man with dark hair and a young woman with red. "It's great to see you again."

"Oh, lovely," she said, leaning on one hip and folding her arms. "Yet again I have to see your sloppy face. Tell me, Katsuragi, do you enjoy kissing that messy face of his?"

"I do actually," Katsuragi said, folding her arms and giving her an apprehensive look. Kaji put his arm over her shoulder.

"Don't worry, babe, she's just jealous," Kaji smiled.

Within about two seconds, Kaji was on the floor, grabbing his bloody nose. Katsuragi seemed surprised. "You know? You have to live with him?"

"Oh, joy!" said Yuzuhria, happily. "I'll enjoy bashing his face in every night until he realizes that I'm not a jealous woman. Or did you just suddenly forget, Kaji, that we discussed this that day you tried to pick me up?" Kaji murmured something indistinct and started whining.

"Why did you punch him?" Katsuragi blinked.

"Because I felt like it," she shrugged. "If I were a jealous person, that would be you on the floor right now."

"Oh," Katsuragi said, looking at her. "Please, don't do that again. I'd like to kiss his face tonight. It's kind of hard to do if he's bleeding all over the place."

"Might want to get something for his nose then," Yuzuhria smirked. "Because I might have broken his nose."

"That was sweet!" said the redhead, walking up to her. "Hi, I'm Asuka Soryu." She held out her hand but Yuzuhria just looked at it. She didn't like physical touch, it frightened her sometimes. To see the past of others. That was part of a clairvoyant curse that she didn't want. which came from the blood that Akagi and Ikari had injected into her. "Don't know how to shake someone's hand? Hello! Are you mute?"

This irritated Yuzuhria and she, without control, slapped her.

"What the hell is your problem?" demanded Asuka. "You can't just go around hitting people!"

"Reflex," Yuzuhria shrugged. "Sorry but you annoy me. Why don't you take a walk?"


Ikari smiled as he approached the group that had assembled in the Control Room. "Well, I see your making friends quickly, Yuzi." He was using her pet name, which he knew embarrassed her. "Are you alright, Kaji?" He stopped in front of the whining man and Kaji grumbled under his hands. "I see. Yuzuhria, Kaji is the Head of Intelligence here. Be polite, won't you?"

"Head of Intelligence you say?" Yuzuhria asked, her silver eyes going raw at the sight of him. "I'm amazed the guy's even got brains."

"He won't if you keep hitting him like that," Ikari said, walking over to her.

"I actually don't think he ever had any brains, Ikari," she sighed, looking down and shaking her head. "All he cares about is money and womanizing."

"Hey!" said Misato.


Tanaka could scarcely breathe, this woman was going to drive him mad. Her cool voice, her cleverness, her bad attitude. That everlasting fire. I'm going to have to seduce this one, he thought with a grin.

"Yuzuhria, why don't you have Katsuragi show you your suit? I'm going to finish the preparations for this," Ikari said.

She nodded and everyone left. They turned and looked at the Eva, the Eva that Yuzuria would be piloting. He was going to make Yuzuhria his, no matter what it took. She'd belong to him. She, the fiery damsel, the beautiful angel with silver hair. She, his new obsession.

I hope you like!
