I do not own any of the characters from Neon Genesis: Evangelion.

Author's note: Okay, I've gotten a lot of replies saying I don't know all that much about Evangelion. Okay, yeah, I've only watched from Vol. 1-5. So I don't know a whole lot about what happened afterwards. For Heart Attach, yes EVA 006 has fingers, I just didn't exactly elaborate on it's entire form, sorry. I wrote this stuff at like two in the morning, go easy on me. This is my first Evangelion fic, so please be nice! Thanks!


Chapter 5

Explanation

Two weeks later...

"Ikari, I swear to God, if you do not get me the hell out of that house, I'm going to kill everyone in it!" snapped Yuzuhria, glaring at her superior in rage. She had stayed with Katsuragi for about two weeks and he knew being around too many people irritated her. Especially bickering ones. Asuka was a headstrong young woman, his son was shy (which she didn't seem to mind), Misato was outrageously enthusiastic, and Kaji...well, she just didn't like him. So, Yuzuhria was going insane, living in their penthouse apartment.

"I'm sure it's not all that bad, Yuzuhria," said Gendo, sneering. He loved to make her angry; it amused him.

"Is that right? Okay, I have to fight with Sorhyu for the bathroom every morning, Katsuragi keeps trying to make me go shopping with her, Kaji is an idiot and well...Damn it! I want out!" she said, angrily.

Gendo sighed and set his elbows on his desk, his chin on his intertwined fingers. Where could he send her? It was very clear that he was not going to send her to Tanaka's ('cause he'd seduce her, which he didn't really need him doing), Aoka had the hots for her, Maya wouldn't set any rules for her (Yuzuhria would probably give her attitude and she wouldn't be able to do anything about it)...Who else? He thought for a few more minutes then thought, perhaps, Fuyutski would be willing to take her. She didn't seem to mind the professor and he knew Kozo liked having intelligent conversations with people, so perhaps it would be better to send her there.

He hit the buzzer on his speaker to ring for his secretary.

"Sir?" asked the young man's voice.

Gendo cleared his throat. "Bring in Mr. Fuyutski."

"Of course."

Beep! Gendo looked at her.

"Would you be willing to house with the old professor?" he questioned, curiously.

Yuzuhria stared at him for a minute then nodded. Two minutes later, Fuyutski was sent in, looking totally bewildered. "You called?"

"Yes," Gendo nodded. "You are aware that Ms. Kurosaki is one of the Children?"

Fuyutski nodded. "Of course."

"I'm afraid that she is not pleased with her present housing," he explained. "I was just curious if you were willing to allow her to stay with you?"

Fuyutski blinked, looking from Yuzuhria to Gendo and back again. "Well, I suppose, if she feels that she really doesn't want to be with Katsuragi."

"Thank you, Mr. Fuyutski," said Yuzuhria with relief. "Your hospitality is very much appreciated. I'll go pack up my things."

She left and Fuyutski looked at Gendo. "So? You're going to fall prey to this girl everytime she demands something? That's not like you."

Gendo smirked. "You have no idea what this 'girl', as you put it, is capable of. I want to keep her happy, since her childhood wasn't all that great. Come, sit. Allow me to explain why I am 'falling prey' to this girl's demands."

Fuyutski sighed and sat down in one of the chairs in front of his desk.

A cruel grin spread across his lips. "Do you recall the Seventeenth Angel? The way the boy looked?"

He nodded. "Silver hair... Ikari, what did you do to her?" His protective mood was setting in.

Gendo sat back. "When Naoko adopted Yuzuhria, I had no idea what Naoko had planned for her. At first, I expected that she wanted to start a family with me by adopting the girl, but I had no intention of doing that. So I explained to her that I wasn't ready to get back to being a family. She laughed at me. She told me that she had no plans of starting a family but in fact, she wanted to use her in an experiment. She wanted to injected her with Angel blood and see how the effects of this would work on the little girl. Well, at first there were no signs. That the girl spoke of, anyway. Her first talked about power was the ability to see into ones past, just the past. Mainly, however, due to the trauma from her mother's suicide, she saw your sins and bad memories. Thus, she doesn't like physical touch."

Fuyutski folded his arms, glaring at him. "That is cruel, Gendo. You know it is." She reminded Fuyutski of Yui. Her brilliance, her intelligence.

"As she grew older, she began to show signs of psychokenisis. Telepathy, telekenisis, empathy. When she was nine, she asked if I would enroll her into a martial arts school...Well, let's just say her strength is at an abnormally high level for one so young and as is her speed," Gendo continued. "When she was thirteen, she grew so angry at one of her many nannies that she lost control of her emotions and killed her..." Fuyutski's eyes widened. "With a letter opener."

Fuyutski was shocked. "You're a bastard, Ikari! She was just a little girl!"

Gendo continued, ignoring his comments. "I found her in the corner, three feet away from the body. She had her hands over her ears, still holding the letter opener and begging me to make the voices in her head stop. Ever since she's blocked off all of her powers."

"Can you blame her?" snapped Fuyutski. "Jeezuz, Ikari, the girl's never been able to trust herself or anyone else for that matter. Can you blame her for being afraid?"

"So? You see that cold facade of hers is a coverup?" Gendo smiled. "Good. Now, I want to ask you a favor."

"No! Whatever it is! No!" Fuyutski snapped.

"Get her to trust you and bring her powers to a surface for the greater good," he continued, ignoring the older man. "You know as well as I do, since Third Impact that the Angels have been reincarnated."

"I will not let that poor girl relive that terror all over again, Ikari! Don't you dare think I will!" snapped Fuyutski, standing up.

"Don't. Just help her control them. You have more patience than I, Kozo. You can teach her to trust. I don't doubt that you can," Gendo said.

Fuyutski glared at him. "How could you? She's just a child."

"She's a very unique...and lost one. Yes," said Gendo, looking at him with amusement. "But she needs to be able to control her powers, lest she lose control of them and massacre this entire building."


"So? You're moving in with Mr. Fuyutski?" asked Shinji, softly, leaning against the doorframe to Yuzuhria's bedroom.

"If I never have to deal with them three in the same household again, I'll die happy," sighed Yuzuhria.

Shinji felt bad; he did enjoy Yuzuhria's company, even if she hadn't been there that long. She didn't complain about him being so apologetic (Asuka), didn't pout about nobody paying attention to her (Misato), and didn't mind just sitting in the living room, watching a movie. He knew she just hated Kaji, for some reason or another. He picked on her for being so cold towards everybody. Shinji felt really bad for him, since once his nose had healed, she had broken it again.

"I'm sorry if any of us annoyed you," he said, sadly, kind of wishing she wouldn't go. She didn't treat him badly and he didn't mind that she was cold towards everybody else. She actually seemed to favor him, having stuck up for him when Asuka was accusing him of apologizing way too much. That thought made him smile.

"God, is that all you know how to do?" snapped Asuka, angrily, legs akimbo. "'I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry'! Can't you just be yourself for once!"

"I'm sorry," Shinji said, sadly.

Yuzuhria loooked at Asuka, her silver eyes flashing, dangerously. "Have you ever figured that not everybody else is a self-centered bitch, like you?"

Kaji dropped his chopsticks, which landed in his chow-mein. Misato stopped talking on the phone and looked over at her with confusion. Shinji was in total disbelief and Asuka was furious.

"Well, you should talk, Ms. Quack! 'You ruined me!' Pity me, pity me! Pout! Pout! Is that all you know how to do? Feel bad about yourself?" Asuka exclaimed.

"I don't know. Do you?" she asked. (a/n: She's referring to Asuka's past here).

Asuka opened her mouth to answer but when nothing came out, she growled, angrily and stalked off to her room.

"It's them, not you," said Yuzuhria, looking at him with surprise. She didn't want to seem too sentimental but once she finished packing her rucksack, she walked over to Shinji, kissed his cheek and walked off. It would've been like saying good-bye to her kid-brother, if she ever had one. "Later, Shinji."

Shinji touched his cheek in shock and his stomach filled with butterflies. He couldn't wait to see her the next day.


Okay, I know this seems weird to you all, since Yuzuhria's showing her affections towards Shinji in a brother-sister way. She only thinks of him as a kid brother so don't read too much into that. There won't be any ShinjiYuzuhria pairing but Shinji will secretly wish it in the future.
