School yard –

Kaworu Nagisa stood with his back to a wall with the sun shining on his face. He wore a smirk of triumph on his face. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a large sum of cash. He then raised it to his face and began to fan himself with the money. Then he begins laughing to himself.

"I never thought that a picture of those two would make me this much!" he said aloud to the heavens.

Just then as he was thinking of all the things his new found wealth could get him, a shadow had fallen upon him. Without looking to see who it was, he just said his sale pitch. Okay I know you want the picture… it will be $12.95 and if you want it gift wrapped it will be an extra $1.50." he paused hearing no response. "Well okay… You know it makes a great gift for everyone to laugh at so… lets say I give it to you for… uh… $9.59 if you tell all your friends about it." Still no answer from his client. Kaworu was starting become agitated by the gall of whoever was trying to buy the photo. This was the best price he would offer so he decided to finally open his eyes and scare the money out of whoever was trying to get this VERY popular photo.

When he opened his eyes he wished he hadn't. There standing in front of him was Asuka with the smirk of the devil on her face. And standing two paces behind her was Shinji, who for the first time in his life, had a pure look of evil upon the normally mellow boys face.

"Oh, we don't need a photo… We just came to "Thank You"." said a disgruntled Asuka. Kaworu didn't know what to do, so he decided to act like a rabbit hiding form a predator. That was to stand very still and hope Asuka will think he disappeared. But unfortunately for him, Asuka had a little more brains than to fall for that…again. "Shinji, would you mind helping out a distressed little girl" said Asuka in a seductive voice. Shinji then smiled and pulled out a baseball bat from out of thin air. (Yes…Shinji is now a magician! No, not really I don't know where the hell he could get a baseball bat on the way to school… uh…You figure it out.) Shinji then handed the bat to Asuka who then began to slowly approach Kaworu.

Kaworu realized his rabbit technique was not working so he decided to use the law for his side. "Uh…Asuka, if you hit me with that bat…" He gulped seeing he shear look of pleasure on Asuka's face from his squirming. "You…could go to jail for Assault and Battery…" Seeing that Asuka didn't care he decide to plead to Shinji. "Uh and Shinji, My best friend… you could go for up to five years for helping in this…"

Shinji had not thought about that. He began to sweat thinking of what prison would be like. So he then spoke up, "Asuka uh…maybe this wasn't the best idea…"

Asuka began to laugh hysterically for a moment. The said to Shinji, "You know that was not the purpose of the bat…" She then pointed the bat at Kaworu at which time he fainted. Upon closer inspection it had become obvious he had soiled himself. "I just wanted him to see what is like to go through a day of humiliation… Even though I would really like to…" She began to raise the bat over her head.

Shinji cut her off, "That's okay Asuka… let's just leave and try to sort this out later… Our friends are bound to be worrying and/or gossiping about us." He then grabbed the bat from her hands.

Asuka turned around with what looked to be disappointment for not being able to exact her ideal of an "appropriate" revenge. She then looked at Shinji who seamed to quaking with fear from her and she got and evil thought. 'Well maybe having him for a boyfriend will be more entertaining than I thought…I get to completely torture him in front of his friends…' She then smiled which made Shinji VERY uncomfortable and took his hand again. "Well time to make our grand appearance, eh?"

Shinji gulped, and nodded his head. He then worked up the courage to say what he wanted to say, "You know we don't have to go through with this…"

"I know but I don't think I have much of a choice… besides I want to see the look on Kensuke's face when I tell him I am stealing your soul…" said Asuka with a grin.

"Uh…" before Shinji could finish his thought Asuka had put a finger to his lips. Then winked and began the task of dragging a somewhat flaccid Shinji to the front of the school for her main entrance.

About Fifteen minutes later Kaworu began to stir. He was looking around trying to figure out where he was. He then began to remember what had taken place. He quickly began to gingerly run his finger down his face and arms trying to find any broken bones left by Asuka. But to his surprise there wasn't even a bruise from the bat. 'I bet the loser, Shinji, stopped her…' But just then his finger felt something cool on the front of his pants. He slowly looked down to find the damage his frightened bladder had done. He let out a muffled scream trying not to draw any attention to himself. "This is all Shinji's fault and that minion of his… I'll get him back… worse than last time…I swear it…"

Kaworu then began the trip back home for a new set of trousers. His luck today wasn't going to change apparently. There was a news reporter giving a report on the rising of students "skipping school" just outside the institute. Upon seeing him, the cameraman quickly got a shot of him slinking back to his home. Asuka's revenge had gone better than she could have hoped. Kaworu would have eternal embarrassment and upon the school seeing this, and a detention to boot.

Later when Kaworu learned of this insult to injury, he would vow to make Asuka and Shinji's life a living hell from now on…

A/N: I think I will add commentary now just to add to the suspense… So what was Kaworu's last offense against Shinji? What is his plan now? How many people will see him on Television? Read to find out… After MORE of "GENDO'S INDECISIONS!"

Grocery Store -

Gendo stood there in front of the snack isle again. This time it would be different. This time he would find the correct potato chips. So he took a deep breath and began his unnerving trip into the isle of greasy potato chips. After about a minute he found a bag of plain chips. He was about to throw them aside when he saw the chip dip sitting above shelf. Grinning he said aloud to the bag of plain chips, "I have found a use for you."

Quickly grabbing the chip dip he literally runs to the front counter to pay for his new found combo. "Welcome to S.A.S Gas Mart where everything can really fill you up..." said a young teenager at the counter with a lack of enthusiasm. "How may I help you."

Gendo just stands there with his hands wrapped the around the chips and the dip. The boy begins to reach to take the potato chips but Gendo then growls at him. The teen quickly pulled his hands away from the crazed man. "Ssssssir… I just need the bag so I can charge you…"

Gendo then coughs and then laughs, "How do I know you're not just trying to steal them?" Upon this the boy just gives him a weak nod. "Okay…But I warn you, it is against the commandments, Thou shalt not steal…"

The boy weakly takes the chips and dip scans them and then quickly gives them back to Gendo. "Ummmm…You total will be $9.86… Cash or Credit?"

'Darn! I knew he was the devil with one of those new fangled choices of payment…' thought Gendo. His eye begins to twitch and he says slowly, "I must consult the committee" The boy just blankly stares at Gendo.

Then Gendo pulls out his cellular phone and dials a number.

"Hello! Super Psychic Friends hotline you will be charged $7.95 a minute while talking to Miss. C. Urmonnygo. Do you accept?" was the reply from the other end of the line.

"Hell yes!" was Gendo very boisterous reply.

After thirty seconds of waiting and waiting a voice picked up on the other end. "Hello, My lost sheep how my I help you?"

"What do the Dead Sea scrolls say about Gendo Ikari buying potato chips in a mini-mart…And what type of payment dose he use?"

There is what seams to be a snicker on the other end of the phone but then a cough and the voice replies, "How do you spell that?"

Gendo getting frustrated shouts into the phone, "G-E-N-D-O I-K-A-R-I"

After ten minutes of stupid questions and Gendo becoming more and more red with anger the voice replied, "Well you should use your credit card as debit card then do the hokey-pokey to please the sprits and appease the Dead Sea scrolls."

Gendo quickly hung up and looked at the boy and related what the voice said. After paying for it Gendo began to do the hokey pokey. He found that he rather quite enjoyed the dance but didn't show it. The boy behind the counter begins to smile and snicker at this mans antics. Afterwards Gendo was about to leave when the boy said, "do you want a bag for that?"

Gendo gave him and evil glare and said, "Fine! Hurry up though boy!"

The boy then looked at him and said, "Paper or plastic?"

Gendo screamed, let out a few choice words and whipped out his cell phone again. This time the Boy fell behind the counter with laughter while Gendo furiously dialed a number.

A/N: Will Gendo ever get to eat his potato chips? What will Yui say when she sees Gendo's phone bill? Will it be Paper or plastic? Find out next time in … "Gendo's INDECISIONS"

So…Where are we again…No really I am lost…Do any of you have a map? Oh Thanks Boris…Oh yes we are at Ramiel Institute of Education ….

Asuka and was standing in front of Shinji explaining the "rules" before they went into the school. "Okay baka! Now here are some of the ground rules. No touching me unless otherwise directed… No embarrassing me in-front of Hikari…" The rules continued on and on and Shinji was in no mood to listen so he caught a word here and there such as "No" or "Pervert" mixed in. Asuka then finished, "If I hear that you were talking about me in ANY inappropriate ways, I will KILL YOU!"

"Okay Asuka whatever you say…" replied Shinji in a monotone voice.

"Did you just give me a tone? You should feel lucky to be going out with an angel!" She said.

"More like a "fallen" angel" whispered Shinji.

"What did you say?" She began to wallop Shinji with her purse until he began to frequently apologize.

"Sorry…Sorry…Sorry…" were the only words coming out of his mouth even after the assault. Asuka laughed then smiled at this boy's pathetic form. 'At least he is back to normal…I think I like him better this way…' "Good! That what I thought you said!"

Shinji then got up from the fetal position he had taken and turned toward Asuka. "I guess this is it…"Shinji solemnly stated. He then took Asuka's arm and reached out for the door. Just as he was about to open it, he saw something out of the corner of his eye. It was Asuka with a triumphant smirk on her face. 'I knew she had to get some sort of sadistic pleasure out of watching me squirm.' He just shook his head and took the door knob and opened the door to the building.

When the doors opened you could hear a pin drop. A quick scan around and Shinji had learned the extent of Kaworu's "Business." The over in a gaggle was a group jocks staring at the square shaped paper as were, the Goths, Cheerleaders, Nerds, Losers, Geeks, Teachers, The child stuffed in the locker and even to his astonishment… The Vikings even had a copy! 'How could this get any worse' he told himself.

As this is the worst thought ANYONE can ever have, because when this is thought the enviable happens.

Seeing Shinji squirm under her arm, Asuka decided to add to his discomfort. She then put on a big fake smile and put her head on his shoulder. "Shinji, I can't see why it took you so long…" she said in a loud enough voice so everyone could hear. Shinji turned scarlet and felt very faint. Asuka couldn't help but laugh. For some reason making him feel uncomfortable made her feel better about the situation. 'That teaches him about the dynamics of THIS relationship.' She thought.

At this remark the halls began to ring with wild rumors as everyone got back to their normal routine. But just as they made their way towards English class, Hikari stepped in front of them. "How could you?" She stated pointing a finger at Asuka. Taken aback Asuka fumbled for words while the class rep continued. "Have you seen these!" she said pulling four of the photos. "You two are living in sin…"

At this Asuka got her wit back. "So how did you get your hands on those?" retorted the German.

Hikari blushed and mumbled, "I thought it was romantic…" Shinji at this point begins to go completely past red, to a complexion of a politician… pale and clammy. "We need to talk!" restated the Rep. She grabbed Asuka and dragged her off to wherever girls talk about stuff. (I am guy, so that is a place of mystery…)

At this Shinji was completely relived to be away from Asuka. She had been acting strange lately but that could be due to the concussion he had received earlier. He looked at the clock and saw he was a half an hour early for class but he didn't mind. 'This will give me time to plan for that vacation thing dad wants to go on.' But just as he began for the door to the class he felt someone's hand come from behind him and a mysterious vapor coming from it. The vapor began to make him sleepy and the last memory he had was. 'Oh boy! Mom is gonna have to buy me out of this…again!'

Somewhere in the bowels of Ramiel Institute of Education…

Shinji had awoken in a dark room with a light hanging in the center. His hands were stiff so he began to move them but they wouldn't budge. As the grogginess lifted he found himself tied to a medal chair.

In the corner of the room, sat a tall Ninja. Shinji began to feel extremely nervous and scared. Just then he began to hear chanting in the background. "Devil, Devil hear my plea! Let this boy free!" came a squeaky high pitched voice. From out of the shadows came a short figure dressed in the robes of a monk.

The Ninja began to join in the chant as the figures began to move around Shinji in a circle. At the end of their chant they both knelt and began to throw salt at Shinji.

Shinji was now beginning to believe that he wasn't going to get through this. But then he noticed something. The Ninja was wearing all black except his shoes. These shoes were Nerv-mart brand basketball shoes. There was only self-respecting Jock in the school who could only afford those cheap shoes.

"Toji! What the hell are you doing!" screamed Shinji.

"Awwwwww! How did you know?" Said the Ninja taking off his mask revealing Toji's dumbfounded face.

At this the monk scoffed and pulled down the hood of the robe to reveal Kensuke. "You weren't supposed to tell him you dumb oaf! Baka! Now I won't be able to remove the demonic aura that the red devil has placed upon him!" said the "monk".

Shinji was completely outraged at his friends and his newfound anger kicked in. "What in god's green earth were you doing!" Shinji shouted. Then he remembered how he was brought here. "How did you know that you wouldn't kill me with that vapor? Toji, you can't even tie your shoe!"

"Hey how did you know? I only told Hi…"said Toji before he could stop himself.

"Don't worry I gave him the same stuff used on the mermaids when they had that revolt near Moscow." said a confidant Kensuke.

"What! IF there are mermaids how the hell do they get to Moscow? It is a landlocked city!" screamed Shinji.

"Good point." agreed Toji.

"That is what THEY want you to think! But there really is a secret village of mermaids below the city and once a year they come up to find a male human and…"started Kensuke.

"Get out of your FANTASIES! You probably read that on the internet! That vapor could of killed me!" stated and irate Shinji.

Kensuke seemed to be hurt by the comment but had a retort. "My fantasies! How about YOUR fantasies?" He proceeds to take out the photo. "She is taking your soul and you don't even know it! I am trying to help you!"

"She is not taking my soul!" retorted Shinji. "What I do in my spare time has nothing to do with you!"

"Oh no! He is in stage three!" screamed Kensuke. "Next is stage four where…" He gulps loudly. "she proceeds to take his soul. Toji get the item from the closet…" says the panicked geek.

Toji's eyes narrow then he nods. Then begins to head to where the monk had entered. "Got it!" he shouts. He then reenters the room hold a vacuum cleaner covered in tin foil. He then hands it the Kensuke.

"Sorry buddy this may hurt…" said Kensuke as he flips the switch on the device. He then slowly proceeds to approach his victim. "Toji, Open his mouth…Wide!"

At this Shinji desperately tries to find a way out of this. Then he remembered Asuka's tactic of handling the duo. That was to threaten them. "Hey Toji, wait until I tell Hikari about this…" This stopped Toji in his tracks. Shinji then turned to Kensuke, "If you think Asuka is bad now, wait until she hears about this." Kensuke stopped for a moment.

"Well this is for your own good! Quickly Toji, open his mouth." Screamed Kensuke.

"I don't know anymore… If Hikari finds out you know…" stated a blushing jock.

Kensuke just rolled his eyes and coldly said, "Looks like I have to do this on my own." He then continued toward Shinji.

"Well after this I guess Asuka and Rei will…" Started Shinji but was interrupted by the sound of the device being switched off.

"You wouldn't dare bringing…that…that…Alien sister into this would you?"

"Oh yes…I have heard her say that she wanted to experiment on you…"

"What!" Said a very distraught Kensuke. "You wouldn't let her do that would you!"

"Well I could help you if you let me out of this chair."

Toji & Kensuke at this jump to Shinji's aid while and Shinji just nods. Once he is free they both fall to their knees in front of him. Toji begins his begging first, "You won't tell Hikari will you? Because that would ruin our friendship…I mean my lunches from her."

Kensuke then continues his plea through whimpers, "Please save me from you sister! Please!"

Shinji begins to smile. 'I see why Asuka enjoys this so much.' "Well if you two promise NEVER to do this ever again, I will do what I can." He said chuckling to himself.

"We promise!" They screamed in sync.

"Well for you, Toji, the problem is easily solved…I won't tell your girlfriend." Toji gave a cold stare but didn't dare say anything yet. "Fine… your lunch maker." Toji appearance brightened significantly. "As for you…" He turned toward the groveling nerd. "My family is going on vacation so if you come with us, she won't be so inclined to experiment on you…"

"Done" shouted the boys on the floor. The Toji turns to Shinji and asks, "Hey can I come too? It sounds like fun and I won't have to practice for the upcoming baseball season."

Shinji similes and nods. Then he says, "How the hell do we get out of here?"

The two boys get off the ground and lead him back to the classroom.

Meanwhile At "The Super Secret Hallway of Girls Ultimate Secrets"™ (I still have no clue where this is…)

Hikari lead Asuka to a table where they could talk. "When did this happen?" said a shocked and semi-hurt Hikari.

Asuka began to blush but decided to be truthful with her friend. "Only yesterday during detention. I don't know what came over me. We were just friends then I just lost it." Asuka mumbled. "Then I did that." she pointed to the picture in Hikari's hand. 'And I liked it' she shivers at the thought.

"Well, do really feel like that." asked the class rep. as she looked at the picture again.

Asuka began to blush at this remark but had turned away so her friend wouldn't notice. "Well it is hard to say…" Realizing she was giving too much away Asuka reverted back to the old one we all know and love… (At least I do.) "But hey at least I didn't go as far as you and Toji do…" she said as an evil smirk crossed her face.

Hikari turned bright red at this remark. "It's not like that. I mean we never… I would never allow…I just make him lunch." said the discombobulated class rep.

"Right…" said Asuka. "So when is the baby coming…Oh can I be the godmother?" She then said to the already distraught Hikari with a grin.

"How dare you even say anything like that! That would never happen…" She said as she stood up to leave.

"Calm down I was just joking. Geez! Sometimes I think you're worse than Shinji!" stated the redhead.

Hikari then sat with a strange look in her eye. Worriedly she queried Asuka, "Is that what the student body thinks?"

Taken aback by her friend's seriousness Asuka just shook her head. "No, only certain people who know you and Toji very well know what's going on. I don't even know if Kensuke has even realized it yet. The Dummkopf"

"Good…" mumbled the other girl. She the nervously chuckled, "Yeah I bet if Kensuke ever figured it out on his own, it would be 45 years from now…"

But as they finished their talk they heard the slam of a glass on a near by table and soft sobs of someone.

The two girls turned to see Rei sitting with her head in her arms laying on the table sobbing. "What is her problem?" asked Hikari

"Oh, boy trouble." murmured Asuka. "Who?" came Hikari's reply. "Oh, the last of the three stooges."

At this remark Rei head shot-up and turned to them hearing their conversation. "How did you find out?" She seethed. Hikari was taken aback from the girls comment. For her red eyes seemed to glow with the passion to kill. Asuka was prepared, "Oh I have my ways of make your baka brother talk…" she smirked. "I knew I couldn't trust him" said Rei. "But, I should have known he couldn't keep his mouth shut around you from the looks of this picture." said an angry Rei.

Asuka just stood for a moment with her mouth agape. Then retorted, "Well at least I don't fawn over a messed up little boy like Kensuke."

"Oh and like my brother is any better." stated the blue haired girl.

"Alright you bitch! I don't care if you are Shinji's sister you're going down!" screamed Asuka as she lunged at Rei. "Bring it!" screamed back Rei. Just then Hikari stepped between them, stopping the ensuing fight. "Stop it!" she screamed. "You two should act more civilized!"

"Wondergirl started it!"

"You attacked me!"

"Enough already! Let's just calm down." stated the only sane girl at the table (Hikari obviously)

"Alright Rei what is your problem? Maybe we…"seeing Asuka eyes she changed her mind. "Well mostly I can help." stated a calm class rep.

"Really?" Rei asked almost inaudibility.

"Of course we would. We have to stick together now that we all, well…Let just say have dealings with the three stooges." answered a confident Hikari.

"Yeah, I guess your right…" said a now noticeably less hyper Asuka.

'Seems like her pills just kicked in' thought Rei and Hikari almost instantaneously.

"Well, I keep sending signals to Kensuke but…He just doesn't seem to get them." Rei blushed at her forth coming.

"You know those stooges. It takes a sledge hammer just to teach them to breathe. Look what I had to do to get Shinji's attention." said the now "relaxed" Asuka. "What do you think I should do to get his attention? I have done everything but hit him with a pile of bricks." Rei stated. At this comment Asuka turns red but the other girls don't notice. "Well you can just tell him." suggested Hikari. "No, I am not that kind of girl…" replied Rei.

After a few moments Asuka came up with an idea. "You forget we have two very powerful weapons, Rei" Asuka gains an evil grin after saying it. "And that would be?" said a sarcastic Hikari. "Toji and Shinji of course." retorted the very manipulative Asuka. She was met with blank stares. "Isn't it obvious? I have Shinji in the palm of my hand." Rei cuts into Asuka's thought, "So?"

"Let me finish! And Hikari has Toji in hers." But this was met with objections form Hikari before the looks on the other girls' faces silenced her. "All we have to do is get Toji and Shinji to set you up on a date…"

"I already tried that with Shinji but all it got me was two other people finding out about my secret." solemnly add Rei.

"Yes, but there are some things I can offer him that his sister can not." Asuka winked with this comment. Rei raises and eyebrow and Asuka continues, "That is only for me and Shinji to know."

"Just as long as I don't become an Aunt I don't want to know…" Rei stated. Asuka evilly smiles. Hikari gasps, "Asuka you don't really mean to…"

"Mien Gott! You really thought I of all people would do that! I'm hurt!" Asuka says in a mock shocked voice. "I am not THAT type of girl. I was just thinking of all the other possibilities left open in the clause."

Rei begins to chuckle. "Keep your mind out of the gutter Wondergirl!" said a threatening Asuka

"Anyway Hikari, Your going to have to get Toji to help or else I am afraid it might not work."

"I...I…don't know." Then the thought of her cooking popped into her mind. "Oh well as they say, "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach"."(Just so you know that is 95.9 of the time true…for me at least.) She begins to giggle. The other two just stare at her quizzically then shake their heads and continue.

"Well if you think it will help…" Rei started

"Of course it will and as long as it dose…I'll get more time with your brother!"

"Hey! I don't need to hear this…" Rei begins to feel nauseous. 'I can't believe I made a deal with the devil for my brother…oh well if gets me that stud, I'll do anything.'

"Do we have ourselves a deal?" Asuka stuck out her hand. Hikari nods and places her hand in the center of the table with Asuka's. Letting out a sigh, Rei nods feeling sick about what she is getting her brother into. Then she finally puts her hand in.

"Good! Well we better head off to class, it is getting late" stated Hikari. They all nodded and headed to English class.

A/N: Well a short chapter but a good one anyway. To tell you the truth this was supposed to be a lot longer but I got impatient. I decided that I would rather get these two chapters posted to get your reviews and input. Also just so you know there has been a change on plans, I will not post these every week because I have a killer schedule at school so it may take awhile for the next installment. I promise the questions that have arisen in the plot will be answered…Eventually. Also I would appreciate any advice you could offer. Please make it constructive, otherwise I will just ignore it. But I have a pretty good idea where my plot will be going for the next few chapters. Just so you know, nothing more the making lunches have been going on between Hikari and Toji…Sorry for any confusion. Until chapter 3, can you solve this global warming problem? It's getting me hot under the collar…

A/O/N: You will earn my "respect" if you can guess where I got the inspiration for this chapter's title…Until then read and review!

Ich werde Sie später sehen!
