CHAPTER 13: Thinking Clearly

Shinji opened his eyes slowly; a noise awakening him from his slumber. It wasn't the familiar beeping of his alarm clock, but a slight humming. He couldn't really tell where it was coming from. He propped himself up with his arms, looking for where it could be coming from. When he couldn't find anything, he realized the noise was very close by. Then he decided to ask.

Arael, are you humming?

The humming stopped before he got his response.

Did it disturb you human?

Wha…? No, it's just, I was surprised is all…

Shinji shook his head, shaking himself awake. The humming continued a few seconds later. Shinji stopped for a minute, listening closely. It was calming, soothing, and unnerving to him. It was human.

Shinji finally left his bed, and looked at the clock. It was still a bit early, but it was Sunday; so it gave him the opportunity to start breakfast. He went to get started on it, and found himself enjoying the hum. He continued to make breakfast to this angelic sound.

Misato laid a mess on her bed, much like the rest of the room. Underwear and clothes were spread in piles all over the room, making walking in the room a chore. The purple-hair figure stirred slowly, waking from her drunken slumber.

"Urrghaaaahuhhhh…" groaned Misato. Not only did she wake up with a hangover the size of an Eva, she was sore too. She vaguely remembered what had happened; she was still in her shirt and shorts from last night. She tried moving, but a stinging sensation was all over her entire body.

Ugh…fuck my ass, what the hell happened last night? She told herself. Her body was on the bed, but from her thigh down she was hanging on the edge of it. She turned herself over, lessening the pain. She sat up on the bed, rubbing her forehead.

Ugh… she groaned Okay, retrace steps, what happened yesterday…? Okay, we drank at the bar, Maya carried me here, Shinji took me to my bed and…

She stopped…

Oh no…

She recalled what had happened…she had kissed him, and-

No, no, just forget it…just…oh god what's wrong with me…?

Rei stirred slightly, the sun once again waking her up. She immediately stretched her arms, the sheets falling from her exposed breasts. She stayed in her bed for a while, looking at her desolate room. It was always this way; the only difference now was that there was less trash, and a full closet. She now appreciated what the major had done for her; Rei noticed Shinji saw her differently with different clothes. She sat on the edge of the bed, contemplating what would happen today.

Time with Shinji…alone…

She smiled; she was hoping they could be together more often. After the misunderstanding before, she hoped they could repeat the experience. Perhaps…they would go further. For a moment, Rei wondered what it would be like to be touched by caring hands…

Mana Kirishima blinked, waking up from her sleep. She sat up on her bed, wide-awake. She always woke up fairly early, and never needed an alarm. She looked at her mostly empty room. It was cold, with a concrete floor and walls. There was a wooden desk and chair, scattered on the desk were files and other documents. There was a dresser where she kept what little clothes she had, with photos very dear to her on top of it.

She raised her knees to her chest, clutching the sheets for warmth. She is a beautiful young woman, but doesn't flaunt it or reveal herself excessively. Her beauty was the last thing on her mind; it was where she would soon be going.

She didn't show it, but she was afraid and nervous. She still remembered what part of the file suggested…

If it benefits the objective, exploit yourself to any one of the pilots.

"Any means necessary…" she told herself quietly. Her hand went down to her waist, whimpering slightly at the idea. Offering herself intimately and the last part was what affected her the most. Any one of the pilots…that meant Ayanami and Soryu as well…

She was having second thoughts, worried what it would take to fulfill the objective. She got out from the bed, revealing the sleeveless shirt and short shorts she was wearing. She shuddered as her feet touched the cold concrete, as she made her way to the dresser. She picked up one of the photos on top of it, and held it close to her heart.

"I'll make that bastard pay…" She whispered silently.

Shinji was almost done with breakfast, and started to set up the table. He had enjoyed Arael's humming, finding it to be almost hypnotic. Curiosity encouraged him to ask.

Arael…why are you humming?

Berserker, I can control emotions and actions. Read thoughts, and cause pain. Yet I am always more efficient while singing. I can perform these to a soothing noise, or…

Shinji didn't need him to keep going; he remembered the music while Asuka was being attacked. He finished setting the table and turned off the stove.

Why were you singing right now though?

I enjoy it, it is soothing…

Shinji was surprised at the almost human response. He raised his head as the silence was interrupted by Misato opening her screen. Shinji blinked, finally remembering what had happened last night. Shinji started blushing and tried to lower his gaze so she wouldn't notice.

Misato was half walking, half dragging herself to the table. She noticed Shinji's blush, and knew exactly why. She was embarrassed of herself; she had seduced him. Even if she was drunk, she couldn't ignore this anymore. Why was she thinking about him?

"Morning Shinji, are those eggs?" she said groggily.

"Yeah, I made some coffee too" he said, his gaze still slightly averted.

Misato immediately went to get the miracle elixir, and served herself a cup. It was extremely hot, but she drank from the cup anyway; thanking the gods for the relief. Shinji was amazed; he had seen her with a hangover before, but never like this.

"Misato…how much did you drink last night?"

Misato bowed her head slightly in shame; even she thought shed had too much to drink last night. She sighed while rubbing her temple, still felling the hangover. She could take the hangover, but what she did last night while dru-

No, no, just… She tried telling herself, but her words sounded empty even to her.

"More than I should have Shinji," she said, distracting herself from her inner thoughts, "I must have been a mess." She took another sip of coffee, before asking, "Hopefully I didn't do anything embarrassing?" She looked at Shinji, hoping he didn't remember or take what happened last night seriously. Unfortunately, she didn't get the response she had hoped for.

Shinji froze when she asked the question. Misato didn't see his face, but didn't need to see it to know. Shinji swallowed, wondering what to answer.

"Not here, unless you did something embarrassing before you got here…" Shinji couldn't keep a straight tone, and his voice broke up a bit. He was trying to lie.

Misato looked at the now empty mug, looking for a something to change the air of the conversation. She struck gold when she remembered the conversation she had had with Ritsuko.

"Shinji, there's something you should know" she said, Shinji gulped, he hoped she didn't remember.

"The Fifth child is arriving next week." Shinji sighed and lowered his head, relieved by the fact that she apparently didn't remember. At the same time surprised by the information. Will the last two angels be that powerful?

"Who is it?" he asked, not sure if it was a guy or a girl.

"Her name's Mana Kirishima, and she's 15"

Shinji sighed, another young person thrown into this mess. He then remembered that he had invited Rei over today. He was going to tell her, until he remembered about breakfast. He served the food, and both soon began to eat it in an eerie silence.

"Misato, I invited Rei to come over later today…." He said out of the blue, looking at his food to evade contact, "Is that ok?"

"Sure Shinji, I'll even leave you two alone" She said, thankful for an out. She didn't want the awkwardness in the air to last the entire day. Now she just needed for something to fill that time gap.

They both finished, both trying to ignore what had happened. Shinji cleaned up, and Misato went back to her room. Shinji went to his room as well, as soon as he closed the door, he emitted a sigh of relief. He hoped this was eventually over with and forgotten, he just couldn't take this.

The ordeal with Misato wasn't the only thing on his mind, the Fifth… Someone else to be dragged in by this… Would she end up like Toji? Or like Asuka? He just couldn't bear it, especially after that one though he had…

Another corpse…

He exhaled; too much was going on too quickly. He needed to stop and think, about everything. He was even going to meet up with Rei today; he didn't want to call it off. Maybe he should just go somewhere, somewhere quiet to think. Shinji didn't bother asking Arael, he would talk with the angel when he was there. Where though?

Human, could you not simply do that here?

Shinji snapped from his inner thought, he forgot the angel heard him either way.

Well, yes, but I need to go somewhere more…private…

Human, you need to compose yourself, simply because you are uncomfortable with you guardian does not mean you must re-access you entire life.

Shinji sat there, wondering what to do.

No Arael, Too much has happened to me in only a few days. I need to just…think about it all for a little while.

Hopefully for the last time…

Shinji knew Arael didn't like this, he didn't bother asking but it must be annoying. He might as well do this before his date with Rei. Where though? The lookout point? He considered it, but then dismissed it. He had an idea; maybe he should visit Asuka again?

Human, speaking to her will make no difference.

Shinji ignored him; he had made up his mind. Besides, at least he would have privacy there. He stood up, thinking of what he would wear; his cell ringing interrupted his thoughts. His heart always stopped for a second at the sound, he was in no condition for an angel attack.

To his relief it was Rei, he answered it. "Hello Rei"

"Hello Shinji, are you well?" she asked, her tone slightly warmer than usual.

"Yeah Rei, I'm fine, how are you?" he asked, hoping she wouldn't ask where he was going.

"Unchanged" Shinji sighed; she was improving, but it was still hard to tell at times.

"Shinji," Shinji snapped, focusing again, "I was wondering at what hour I should arrive?" Shinji thought about it, and then guessed a number.

"I think five is good Rei, how about dinner and a movie here?" he asked as he started to rummage his closet for clothes.

A small "mmm" escaped Rei's lips before saying, "Why not sooner Shinji?"

Shinji thought about what to say, then, "I'm going to NERV Rei, then I'm gonna get groceries and a movie."

"Are you having a test Shinji?" she asked, with the intention of asking if she could go with him.

"No, Rei…" He said, slapping himself on the forehead. Rei wasn't stupid; she was going to figure it out.

"Then what is the purpose of your trip?" She asked, doubt replacing curiosity. She may not be experienced socially, but that did not mean she lacked intelligence. Why would Shinji not tell her what was the matter, why would he be going to NERV for?

Shinji was trying to come up with a convincible excuse, but came up blank. He considered telling her the truth, but threw that idea out the window after her reaction yesterday. Rei was going to ge-

"Shinji…Are you visiting Souryu?" She asked, in almost a whisper.

Shinji froze; she had figured it out. He simply stood there, holding the phone to his ear. There was silence, a long silence. It seemed to last forever. He wanted to say something, to lie, to explain, but he didn't. Soon she broke the silence once more.

"…I will see you at 5 Shinji…" then a click.

Shinji dropped the phone on the bed as he fell on it, waiting for it all to sink in. Soon he remembered something that could have helped.

Arael, why didn't you do anything?

I am not a machine human; I do not work through wires.

Shinji had arrived at Asuka's room a few minutes ago. She was very much the same, although he barely noticed. He was sitting on a chair next to the bed; his head hanging low. He had left the house after composing himself, not even bothering to say bye to Misato. He walked here in a daze of pity and depression; he was scared shit-less and nervous.

Three, the number of times he called. The number of times she didn't answer. He wanted to talk to her. He wanted to know if this was over. Shinji couldn't get it out of his head, she sounded hurt when she said she would meet him at five.

Berserker, are you going to prolong this more than you need to?

He lifted his head, confused by the question. Arael, upon noticing the child was not aware of what he was talking about, elaborated.

You came here to clear your mind, delay no further. I am present.

Wha- asked a stupefied Shinji. He had forgotten why he had come here in the first place. To decompose, to just figure things out, that was before…

Human, is Ayanami your entire life? Clear other things. You are already here.

Shinji rubbed his temple; he couldn't get his head straight. Arael groaned, before beginning the discussion.

Lets start with you're guardian Berserker, proceed.

Shinji sighed; it was obvious Arael wanted this to end as quickly as possible. Shinji decided to comply; it would at least calm him down about other things.

Misato, god she was a mess recently; not without reason though. She was mourning Kaji, he hadn't heard the message he left, but judging from her reaction he could hazard a guess. She told him Kaji died when he was consoling her, then she kissed him. She said it was because of the moment, and he believed her. Then there was that talk they had yesterday. He liked helping her, like she helped him. Almost like family.

Then there were the moments where she wasn't family, where he saw her in a different light. He shuddered slightly at the occurrences, the dream, the incident last night, the way he always stared at her. He was getting bolder now, he recalled the time when he was going to lift up her skirt.

What did he see her as? A sibling? A friend? Or…? He didn't dare think it. Was she just an object to him, even after everything they had been through? Then came the bigger question…

Do I like her?

He pondered it, and knew that it was in some way true. He inhaled sharply at his answer. Why? He didn't know for sure. Was it because she was attractive? Or was it emotional? He knew two things however, he liked Rei more was the first. The second was that she was twice his age, and that closed the matter. He knew he was just ignoring the problem, but he blamed it all on hormones, which fit in pretty nicely.

He sighed, that's one problem, what's next?

He looked at the bed, and knew the next one. Asuka. He missed her. Regardless of everything she had done, he missed her. He had risked his life to save her; but that wasn't enough. It hurt him; she was doing this to herself. He knew why she was like this; he just…didn't want her to be like this.

Why did he care for her? Why did he still like her? She had never been nice to him; she always teased and insulted him. She didn't like him, he learned that recently. Yet here he was. Still visiting her, still liking her. He was even jeopardizing his relationship with Rei at this point. Why was he doing this?

He looked at her, the mess she was. Nothing like the beautiful girl he had once known. While he liked her appearance, that couldn't be it…Or maybe it was. Was it just that he admired her, respected her? Or was it something more? He had one big question on his mind, if she were conscious; would he have still chosen to date Rei?

Shinji then remembered that it was Rei who had actually made the first move. Even if Asuka had begun to like him, she would be too proud to admit it. He liked her, but he realized it was more about her appearance than he thought. As she was before, she would never allow herself to like him…

Arael was chuckling to himself as he saw Shinji struggle to come to terms with things. On both accounts, he had been lying to himself. Simply ignoring the problems would not make them go away; Arael knew that in time they would re-appear.

Shinji now leaned closer to Asuka's bed, convinced with his answer. He rested his upper body and head on the bed, a few inches from Asuka. He raised his head to get a better look at her. The sheets weren't on her, and the gown barely covered anything. Her chest was almost completely revealed, and her legs were visible almost up to the thigh. His breathing quickened slightly, as this took effect on his body. He swallowed as his hand un-noticeably crept to her leg. As his fingers grazed the skin of her thigh he shivered, so soft. He recalled that patients don't have underwear under their gowns…

Oh god!

Shinji reeled back; he did not just think that. Had he really considered…taking advantage of her?

I'm so fucked up, I'm so fucked up he continued to tell himself. What was wrong with him? Couldn't he even keep his hormones in control? It was happening too often lately, he continued to just see them as… He just didn't want to be like this. What would happen if he lost control, slipped for a moment? He didn't want to picture the consequences. He knew he was teenager, but this was something else…

He got closer and adjusted her gown. He pulled it down near her legs, and covered her chest carefully. She shouldn't have to look like this. He leaned back on his chair and simply sat there for a while. He left when his stomach announced itself.

"How fucking much?!" Screamed the top Engineer NASA had, Michael Avon, not before spitting the coffee he had been drinking all over the table and partly on Lance.

"All of our debts, and I saw the numbers" answered Tyler, wiping some of the coffee of his face. Normally he would scream at what happened, but it was understandable. Michael coughed a little as he set down his coffee, and sat down in a chair.

"You have GOT to be shitting me…" said Avon, not believing his boss. Their debt was assimilated more with infinity than an actual number. Tyler took a seat, and then explained the entire project they had just taken. When he finished, he leaned back and waiting for Michael's opinion.

"How soon do we have to do this?" asked Michael, calculating manpower, resources, and numbers they would need.

"In a few weeks, but here's the surprise," began Tyler, looking around to check for people before saying, "Success isn't required." Michael jumped at the words.

"What? Is NERV swimming in cash to take this big a risk?"

"Apparently," said Lance, picking up Michael's coffee and took a sip, "So quick question, can we do this without losing the shuttle?"

Michael exhaled and leaned his head on the back of the chair, "I think so, but we're gonna need to put pretty much everyone on overtime. Not that they'll mind, I'm sure they'll be happy to know they still have their jobs." He looked at Lance and added, "We're probably gonna need to rehire almost everyone too."

Tyler nodded, he was glad they could handle it. He had to put his feelings of NERV aside, this was a golden chance and they needed to take it.

"Let's just hope that thing isn't too heavy for the shuttle" sighed Michael.

Shinji was now walking home, a grocery bag in one hand, a movie in the other. He almost didn't bother; he was almost expecting this to be over. He had cleared a few more things before leaving for food, buying groceries, and finding a movie. In a way he was relieved, he had settled some matters, but the looming event was almost oblivious to him. He knew he was going to be a wreck, but right now he held on to one thing. Hope.

He had decided one thing, he liked Rei. That was all that needed to be said. No need to risk the relationship, he wanted to stay with her. If she would listen, he would clear up his feelings. He would make it clear he was interested in only her.

He arrived at Misato's apartment building at about five; he didn't bother to check the time. He got in the elevator, smelling the vegetables on the groceries. The elevator seemed to be going at a painfully slow rate. As it the doors opened with a ding, he walked slowly to the apartment. He got to the door and opened it, maybe cooking would distract him. What he saw inside was unexpected though.

There, sitting on the couch in living room, was Rei. The TV was on, Pen-Pen nearby watching it. The two teens exchanged looks, Shinji's of utter surprise. When Pen-Pen noticed this, he slowly waddled to his fridge. Shinji gulped, as Rei continued to sit there unchanged.

She was sitting on the big couch in front of TV. She was once again wearing more casual clothes, just some jeans and a black blouse. She sat there, looking at Shinji with her usual expression. This unnerved the boy; he couldn't tell how she felt. Shinji almost dropped the bags as a voice interrupted.

There is hope yet, Berserker.

What? He asked, not understanding what that meant. Soon however, Rei finally spoke.

"Hello Shinji," She said, her voice lacking emotion, "Are you well?"

Shinji was momentarily stunned at what had just happened, he put the bags down before finally saying, "Wha- um, I'm fine Rei, thanks for asking" He was trying to figure what was going on, and decided on the first question that came to him. "Rei, how did you get in?"

"The Major was still here when I arrived, and she let me in before leaving" She answered. She looked at him, noticing his confused look, and motioned at the seat next to her.

Shinji understood, and took a seat on the couch next to her nervously. She turned to him, as she lifted her legs up on the couch. Shinji tried to look for anything that could tell him how she felt, but she wasn't showing any emotion. Again, he was startled.

Relax human, and listen.

"How is Souryu?" asked the girl in front of him. She sat cross-legged in front of him, a slight tone of fear in her voice.

"Sh-She's the same Rei…" he answered, confused of what was going on. What did Arael mean? He was going to ask what he meant but then.

"Your concern for the second child is admirable, however I believe there is another reason that you wished to visit her…alone. Correct?" Her voice had a hint of something too subtle for him to pick up.

Shinji nodded almost automatically, she picked up a lie before, no use in trying again. Besides, he might as well be honest, "Yes Rei, there was…" He paused, looking to see if she was going to say anything. She continued to look at him; he noticed a small tinge of fear in her expression, but not much else.

"Rei I went to…clear my mind a little," Rei was going to ask something before Shinji continued, "Too much has happened in the last few days Rei… I almost died; I stared dating you, Toji, Asuka…" He stopped himself before mentioning what had happened with Misato, but he hoped she would understand.

Rei watched as Shinji chocked back a tear, she wondered what to do. He was obviously nervous and afraid, so was she. She didn't know what to do… Shinji looked at her; she was as confused as he was.

Hold her.

He didn't react to Arael, he just did it. He got closer to her, and put his arms around her. She leaned in, resting her head on his left shoulder. Shinji leaned back to the edge of the couch; Rei was practically lying on him. She was sitting on his lap, her legs on the couch. Shinji put his arms around her stomach, as Rei held his hand.

Shinji breathed deeply, trying to ignore the beauty lying almost completely on top of him. He didn't want to…discomfort her. Rei looked up to meet his eyes, much more relaxed than before.

"Shinji…I understand your need for privacy. I too, have times when I must consider my actions and feelings… I felt what I have come to believe is jealousy, rejection and sadness when you did not wish to spend the day with me. I also wonder if I was being selfish."

Shinji looked at her crimson eyes. "No Rei you weren't being selfish… I'm sorry if I made you feel that way by going to visit Asuka." He held her a little tighter, as if he might lose her.

"Shinji," Rei began, "Do you have feelings for Soryu?" she nuzzled a little closer, "You may discuss your feelings with me without fear of being judged. I too need someone to talk to and I would like for that person to be you."

Shinji blushed a little as he turned his head to another direction, "Ye-yes Rei… I had feelings for her…"

"And now?" she asked, holding his hand.

"Not anymore Rei…" he said, "Rei I like you…and I want this to keep going." Rei smiled at him, a small tinge of a tear in her eyes.

"I would as well Shinji" Shinji looked at her, she was smiling, such a rare thing. Rei closed the distance for a kiss, catching Shinji by surprise but only for a moment. They parted quickly and they both looked at each other. Shinji then remembered he had brought a movie.

"Umm, Rei?" he stuttered, "I brought a movie, if you would like to watch that before diner?"

"I do not have an appetite yet, perhaps we should watch the movie." She said, having no desire to leave the comfort she has found.

She sat back up while Shinji put in the movie, it was romance. When Shinji returned she reassumed her position, her back on his chest, while her legs were sprawled on the rest of the couch. Shinji was leaning on the right edge of the couch, his legs off it. Shinji's right hand was at her side, while his left was on her stomach. She held his right hand, while her left hand was on her legs.

The movie played on, it was about a young couple in Osaka. They watched the movie, as Rei nuzzled closer to Shinji. Shinji tried to concentrate on other things, lest his body react and discomfort Rei. This was difficult, since from his higher viewpoint he could see into her blouse.

Soon, Shinji was unconsciously moving the hand that was on her stomach. He was moving it on circles, his fingers grazing the fabric. Shinji didn't notice at first, but Rei was enjoying this. She would breathe deeply at this, enjoying the touch. Shinji finally noticed the effect he was having on her as she inhaled sharply and shuddered slightly. He thought he was disturbing her, and was going to stop until a voice corrected him.

She is enjoying this.

With this, Shinji continued. He kept moving his hand in circles, watching her closing her eyes and exhale. Soon she did something unexpected though. Her left hand took his, and she guided it under her blouse. Shinji held his breathe, as she continued to guide his hand on her bare stomach. His fingers tracing over her soft, smooth skin; Rei exhaled sharply and arched her back very slightly.

Shinji couldn't believe what had just happened, as Rei continued this he exhaled as well. He looked down towards her again, getting the same view of her chest. Something surprised him though, Rei was blushing furiously. She really was enjoying this small contact. He decided to continue without her help, and touched her stomach and navel slowly. The couple had lost track of the movie, intoxicated on the moment.

Rei took his left hand, as she turned her body slightly. She looked at him, he was blushing as well. She craned her neck to kiss him, and he replied. She completely turned herself, her chest on his. Her hands were on his head and neck, as she leaned in more to deepen the kiss. Shinji wrapped his arms on her lower back, as his tongue met hers. They parted the kiss and immediately began another.

Her breasts were pressed on his chest, her hips on his. Rei felt a bulge, but ignore it, knowing it was a natural reaction. They were grinding against each other, both teens filled with hormones. Their kisses deepened, and soon neither was able to reason very well. Shinji's hand parted her hair, and massaged her back, soliciting a moan from her. Her hands were coming to remove her blouse before a ringing began.

Both teens parted at the sound, waiting for the blood flow to return to their heads. They were both breathing deeply, and soon Rei sat normally. Soon they recognized it was a cell phone, Shinji looked at Rei as if asking if it was hers. He got an answer when she stood up and went towards the table. She picked something up from the table, and then put it next to her ear.

Shinji listened in to her part of the conversation, which wasn't much.

"Yes, sir…Now, sir?...Is it necessary, sir?...No, sir, I will be there…"She turned to see Shinji, with a look of sadness and disappointment. He understood what was going on, and just said as he stood up from the couch.

"I'll see you tomorrow at school Rei?"

"Yes, Shinji." She answered, "I am…sorry we could not continue…"

Shinji got closer to Rei and hugged her, "It's ok, there's nothing you can do." He leaned back look at her, "See you at school?" She nodded and kissed him one last time on the lips. Rei cut it short, and walked out of the apartment shortly after.

Shinji stood for a few seconds, then went to the couch and sat. He was digesting everything that had just happened, until he noticed the TV. The credits of the movie were rolling.

Holy shit, were we-

Kissing for two hours? More like one really, it was a short film.

A-and before the phone rang, was she about to-

Remove her blouse? Yes she was.

Holy-

Crap?

Shinji shook his head a little, he was still wasn't used to another voice finishing his thoughts. God, they had really gone at it. To think he barely kissed her two days ago. They were going fast, today she was almost gonna take off part of her clothes.

Wait…was he complaining?

Ugh, solve some problems, new ones pop out. He rubbed his forehead; he'll think about this later, he was hungry.

Arael looked at the young teen as he started making himself some dinner, was it really this being the one that had destroyed so many of his brothers and sisters? Arael truly couldn't believe it. Despite this, Arael analyzed everything that had happened so far. Things were progressing, and the child was calmer now. Arael waited for the next two events. One was sister Arimisael. The other was the fifth. What will happen? Again Arael would have to be patient.

Ever patient...
