As soon as I come up with another cute and funny warning about all the
sex, nudity, language, plot twists, and other general naughty stuff that
is in this story, I'll put it here. This one may cross the Lime/Lemon
line once or twice, but isn't fully lemon. Probably.
=======================================================================
A few elements from the End of Evangelion movie are evident in this
part, but nothing that should spoil your enjoyment (or revulsion) of the
movie once you see it (if you haven't already).

"No! This can't be... I'm nothing like you!" Rei insisted, but deep
down she felt the truth behind Ritsuko's words. Her grandmother, who Rei
had thought was her adoptive mother, was always worried about
appearances. No matter what Rei did, her grandmother had always scolded
Rei about how it reflected on her and their family. <Some family.> She
huffed and glared at the woman who she once called a sister. Now she
didn't know how to think of her birth mother, Ritsuko.
"Unfortunately, you are all too much like me. I've tried to be a
mother to you and keep you from making the same mistakes that I did, but
you always resisted."
Rei jumped to her feet and shouted. "How could you both lie to me
for my whole life?! I hate you!" She ran from her room and down the
hall.
"Rei, wait!"
"Bite me!" Rei called back.
Ritsuko started to go after her, but then decided that there wasn't
anything she could say right now that would help. The chance to make
things right with her daughter had passed years ago when a then
eight-year-old Rei asked who her real mother was. "I'm sorry, Rei. I
should have told you back then. I only went along with my mom's plan
because I love you." She slunk to her knees and started to cry. The
front door was heard slamming.
-E- -V- -A-
Asuka, who was dressed in a pretty dress with her face made up,
stood in front of her apartment. She fidgeted and looked at her watch
again. "Where is Shinji?"
-E- -V- -A-
At that moment, one Shinji was lying unconscious in a pile of
garbage.
In the theater, the other Shinji was staring vacantly into
nothingness. He trembled as he saw his perfect world start to rot, like
a pile of garbage left in the sun too long. Rei was at his side and held
his hand to comfort him. Asuka was laughing her head off.
-E- -V- -A-
Rei rushed out of her apartment building and ran. It didn't matter
where, she just ran. She stopped running when she heard a rotting pile
of garbage groan, which garbage usually doesn't do in Tokyo-3. Well,
maybe if it's left out in the sun too long down by the nuclear power
plant. She looked into the pile and gasped. "Shinji?" She dug through
the bags and helped Shinji out. "What were you doing in there?"
Shinji stood up, rubbed his head, and brushed the garbage off his
clothes. "I... sort of fell off your ledge when I heard your sister say
she was your mother."
"Oh, you heard that?" Rei asked, lowering her head awkwardly.
Shinji nodded. "I don't know what to do... everything I know is a lie."
Tears started to flow from her eyes again. "What's wrong with me?"
"Nothing. This isn't your fault, no one chooses their parents.
Trust me, I'd trade my father for a new one in a second. Ummm... I don't
know what... err..." Shinji lost his train of thought after an
impressive start. He looked nervously at her. "Damn, I'm no good at this
stuff!"
Rei smiled at Shinji's uneasiness and snuggled up to his arm.
"That's okay, just hold me. That's all I need right now."
Shinji wrapped his arm around Rei and they started walking through
the streets without any real destination in mind.
-E- -V- -A-
Dawn. A simple word that is used to describe one of the most
glorious events known to mankind. This particular dawn shone its light
over the streets of Tokyo-3, casting long shadows across the ground. For
some reason, the shadows seemed to look like naked women.
In a small park, Shinji shielded his eyes from the sudden glare
that flared in his eyes. As his eyes adjusted to the glare, he looked
down and saw Rei sleeping with her head in his lap. He smiled. To hear
Touji talk, girls were only good for having sex with. Spending the night
wandering the streets holding hands with Rei and just talking was more
pleasurable that anything he had ever done or could imagine. They had
stumbled across this small park and then cuddled together before sleep
claimed them.
Somehow, the thought of finding someplace to have sex hadn't even
occurred to him last night. It was occurring to him at that moment
because of the erection he had. He tried to ignore it as he remained
still and gently stroked Rei's hair. "Morning," he said, when she
finally stirred.
Rei looked up at Shinji and smiled. "Good morning. Is that an
erection in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"
Shinji laughed. "Both."
Rei rose and gave Shinji a deep kiss. "So what do we do now?"
"I don't know."
"I'm not going back to my place."
"I understand. Err... do you want to go to school?"
"Not really, I don't even have my uniform," Rei said.
Shinji suspected that her uniform wasn't only reason she didn't
want to go to school. "Let's just find someplace to have breakfast and
then see what happens."
"Okay."
-E- -V- -A-
Misato sat on top of Kensuke's lap and bounced up and down.
"Yeeeeeee ha! Ride 'em... cowboy!" she cried out between pants.
Kensuke's face was strained as he watched Mistao's breasts bounce
up and down.
Misato screamed in ecstasy as she felt something fill her up.
Misato screamed in terror and sat upright suddenly. She looked
around and noticed she was in her apartment and lying in a pool of her
own vomit. "When did I get home?" she muttered, and dragged herself to
her bathroom, stripping off her clothes on the way. She slid the door
open to the bathroom and then gasped as she saw Kensuke sitting in her
tub.
Misato lurched backwards and screamed in terror. <I couldn't have
had sex with Kensuke again last night... could I have?>
"Oh, you're awake."
Misato started at hearing the voice. <That wasn't Kensuke's voice.>
She shook her head to clear it. After her eyes managed to focus, she saw
it was Kaji in her tub. "Kaji? What the hell are you doing here?"
"I came to see the most beautiful woman in the world, of course,"
Kaji said and stood up.
In the theater, Asuka was trying to look around the Misato in the
bathroom to get a look at the naked Kaji. "Dammit, get out of the way!"
Not for the first time, she wished the viewpoint had multiple angles.
"Oh, sit down and enjoy the show. If that Misato is anything like
me, she'll be beating him up in no time!" Misato said from her nest of
torn-up Kaji pictures.
"Nope, they are going at it like squirrels in heat," Asuka
mentioned.
"What!" Misato screamed and raced over to look at the viewpoint
that Asuka was watching. "They are not!" she screamed when she saw that
Misato and Kaji were just standing close and talking. Well, Kaji was
talking and Misato was screaming.
"Made you look!"
Misato glared at Asuka. "Damn, I should never have put you in Unit
Two before Third Impact. Then I wouldn't have to put up with you now."
Back in the bathroom, Kaji just grinned and smiled charmingly while
Misato scolded him. When Misato finished her tirade, Kaji spoke. "I'm
sorry, but I had to get you out of my house before Maya could find out
that I really love only you. If I lose her father's support I can kiss
the election goodbye."
"Why didn't you ever tell me all this before?!"
"Because I have to be careful. Ever since that scandal with that
American President back before Second Impact, the public will forgive an
affair while in office, but not before," Kaji explained, taking a step
closer toward Misato.
Misato had to think about Kaji's statement for a while before she
thought she understood. "I guess that makes sense," she said softly, but
was uncertain exactly why it made sense. Then she suddenly recalled some
details of that affair. "But am I going to be your wife or the mistress
with the bad fashion sense?"
"You will be my wife, of course. Maya is only there for the
political benefits. Once I'm in office, she's history."
"Kaji, I never knew you were so devious," Misato commented, then
closed the final gap between her and Kaji. She slipped into his waiting
arms and leaned up for a kiss. He obliged her.
Misato sat on the floor of the theater and sniffled. "I knew that
Kaji really loved me," she said, wiping her eyes.
Asuka glanced back at Misato's nest of torn-up Kaji pictures and
smirked. "Yeah, I know you trusted him all along." Then she started to
stare at the viewpoint as Misato and Kaji took advantage of their being
naked and in the bathroom. "Hmmm, I guess Shinji is a little longer,"
she commented as she hit the freeze frame on the remote.
"Told you so," Misato said, smiling at the happy couple enjoying
their bath in front of her. Not they were really taking a bath, mind
you. "Hit slow motion, will ya?"
Asuka gladly complied and then hit the record button as well.
Purely for archival purposes, mind you.
-E- -V- -A-
Ritsuko wandered the streets looking for Rei. Her mascara was
running from the tears she'd been shedding since Rei had run out the
night before. <Dammit, Rei, where are you?>
-E- -V- -A-
Asuka was standing in the Ikari apartment's entryway wearing her
school uniform and holding her book bag. "So he didn't come home last
night?"
"No, I'm afraid not. My husband said he was going to look for him
before work," Yui said, looking very worried.
Asuka frowned. "I wonder where he is. It's not like him to stand me
up."
"Oh, are you two dating?"
Asuka blushed. "Err... sort of. Last night would have been our
first date. I hope he's okay."
"How nice. Everyone says that you two would make a cute couple,"
Yui said, pulling Asuka into a hug.
In the theater, Asuka smirked and looked over at Rei. "Ha!" Rei
ignored the redhead.
"Well, if he doesn't show up for school, I'll get the gang to look
for him afterwards," Asuka said as she left the apartment.
"Thank you, Dear. And welcome to the family," Yui said as the door
closed.
Asuka frowned. <Gee, I only said we were going on one date. I'm
hardly going to marry a little boy like Shinji. Although, little boys do
grow into men.> She walked towards school, trying to keep a lookout for
Shinji on the way.
-E- -V- -A-
That afternoon, Shinji and Rei were sitting in a cafe, nursing a
couple of bottomless cups of tea. The waitress strolled up. "Is there
anything I can get you to eat... YET?" she asked, curtly.
"Um... no thank you," Rei said quietly.
After the waitress left, Shinji leaned over to Rei. "I don't think
that waitress is going to let us stay too much longer. Maybe we should
decide what to do now. "
Rei sighed. "I know. I'm not going back to my place. Err... can I
spend the night at your place?"
Shinji gulped. "Well, err... my parents are home."
Rei smiled knowingly. "I know. I just need someplace that I can
think. You know, away from my sis... mother."
Shinji blushed at realizing he had jumped to the wrong conclusion.
"I guess I can tell my mom that you're having problems at home. She's
pretty good about stuff like this."
"That's the truth. I'm not even sure I know what a home is
anymore," Rei commented. She slid out of the booth and stood up.
Shinji put some coins down and took her hand as they walked out of
the restaurant together.
A while later they were headed towards Shinji's home when Rei
glanced down a side street and noticed some neon signs in the distance.
She stopped suddenly and grinned.
Shinji looked back at Rei. "What's wrong?"
"How much money do you have on you?" Rei asked.
"A few thousand Yen, why?"
"I think maybe... I like your original thought about tonight
better," Rei said, smiling devilishly. She then pulled Shinji down the
side street towards a row of hotels.
"What?" Shinji asked, then realized where Rei was pulling him.
"Err... a love hotel?"
Rei blushed and nodded. "Is it okay?"
Shinji gulped and nodded, causing Rei to smile broadly. "I think...
that I..." Shinji was interrupted by a shrill voice from behind them.
"Shinji! What the hell are you doing!" the voice cried out.
Shinji tripped over a crack in the sidewalk when he recognized the
voice. When he looked up from the ground, he saw Asuka running up to
them. "Err... hi, Asuka."
"Hi? Hi?! The gang and I have been looking all over for you, you
piece of garbage!" Asuka shouted.
"Why?" Shinji asked, wondering if Asuka smelled the garbage from
last night.
"Why?! You little dork! Your mom is worried sick about you not
coming home last night and you skip school, apparently with Rei, and you
ask why?" Asuka said, or screamed, in this case.
"Damn, I should have called my mom. Asuka, I..." Shinji said, but
Rei interrupted him.
"Good afternoon, Asuka," Rei said calmly, not looking up from the
sidewalk.
Asuka wasn't sure how to respond to the calm greeting, so she just
returned it. "Good afternoon, Rei. Err... Shinji can I talk to you?" She
nodded her head away from Rei.
"Err... sure." Shinji followed Asuka a short way down the street
while Rei calmly waited.
Keeping her voice down, Asuka leaned over to Shinji. "Why did you
stand me up last night, you bastard?!"
Shinji looked confused, but then he remembered their date. "Oh no!
I'm sorry, Asuka!"
"You will be! Standing me up and then sleeping with that dirty
little lesbian!" Asuka ignored the fact that if Shinji did sleep with
Rei, then she wouldn't be a lesbian. Bi maybe, but not a lesbian.
"I didn't sleep with her!!" Shinji insisted, loudly. After blushing
and looking around at the passing pedestrians, he spoke in a soft tone.
"It's complicated. Rei found out last night that she wasn't really
adopted and that the woman she thought was her sister, was really her
mother."
Asuka gasped and recoiled in shock. "That's terrible. No wonder
she's so screwed up."
Shinji wanted to correct her, but a part of him knew she was right.
Rei did have some very serious problems. "I know, but WE are her
friends, so I think we should try to make her feel better."
"I don't know..."
"Asuka, can you just please get over that stupid kiss? It didn't
mean anything. She needs her friends now more than ever."
"Well... okay. You'll just have to pay me back by taking me to some
really great place for our makeup date." Asuka winked, turned around,
and walked over to Rei. She didn't notice Shinji get very nervous at the
mention of the date.
Asuka slipped in beside Rei and wrapped her arm around the girl.
"Shinji told me what happened. I'm sorry." She was a little amazed to
find that she meant it. Despite her anger at Rei kissing her, Asuka did
like Rei as a friend. Probably.
Rei sniffled. "Thanks. I can't believe that my sister wo... err...
my mother would do this to me."
"Yeah, well, parents can be a real pain in the ass sometimes.
Sometimes when my mom nags me over the stupidest things, I just want to
strangle her." She then started listing examples. "Asuka, pickup your
clothes. Asuka, put your books away. Asuka, stop mast... err... but you
get the idea." She blushed before finishing. "Cheer up, kiddo, let's go
find the gang. We'll just hang out and you can forget your troubles."
"I don't know..." Rei glanced awkwardly at Shinji.
Shinji was a little surprised at how caring Asuka sounded. "Come
on, Rei, we're all your friends. Right, Asuka?"
Asuka paused for a second, but then agreed. "Of course, let's go
have some fun!" She grabbed Rei's hand and pulled her down the street.
Shinji followed after adjusting something in his pants that had become
noticeable.
-E- -V- -A-
"Unit 01, Angel at eight o'clock."
"Ahhh, at least I have two hours to prepare for it then," Shinji
remarked, just before the Angel sliced his Eva in half.
"That sense of humor is never going to win us the championship,
Shinji," Asuka said, while she sliced the legs and one other appendage
off the anatomically correct Angel standing in front of her.
"This was a good idea, Asuka," Shinji remarked, looking over at Rei
while his Eva regenerated. She was using Unit 00 to hack apart a bunch
of Angels that had taken on Ritsuko's appearance.
"Yes, Rei seems to letting her anger out all right. How'd she get
the Angels to change into the image of her mother anyway?" Asuka asked.
She flinched when she saw Rei slice another Ritsuko in half, starting at
the groin and slicing upwards.
Shinji had just started to grapple with an enemy Eva drone when he
responded. "I don't know, she's always seemed to know all the secrets of
this game." He thrust upwards with his progressive knife and gutted his
enemy, causing the multicolored guts to ooze out onto the ground.
The battle went on. The gang worked on some team movements. Well
except for Rei and Kensuke, who had other things on their mind. Rei was
preoccupied with killing every Ritsuko on the battlefield, and doing a
pretty thorough job of it, while Kensuke was off by himself playing the
sex-cheat version of the game.
"Kensuke, are you going to train for the championship or just keep
screwing those female Angels?" Asuka asked, after spotting Kensuke on
the edge of the battlefield.
Kensuke's Unit 10 had its unit inserted into the female Angel and
was rocking back and forth. He didn't reply to the question.
"Damn, what's gotten into Kensuke?" Asuka asked the others.
Without thinking, Touji responded. "Looks like he's the one who has
gotten into... urk..." He suddenly went silent, realizing he'd almost
said something vile and lost his bet with Hikari.
Over in her entry plug, Hikari smiled. She switched to a private
channel with Touji before speaking. "Close call there, Slick. You almost
said something vile."
"What and lose out on the prize?" Touji said, winking. Fortunately,
Hikari couldn't see the wink.
While Hikari was thinking if that was a vile comment or not, she
sliced an enemy Eva's head off. "I guess that wasn't vile."
"Damn, right it wasn't," Touji agreed, then suddenly yelled out.
"Hikari, to your left!"
Hikari looked quickly to her left, while jumping backwards. It was
lucky she did, since the Angel that had leapt at her flashed through the
air in front of her. Hikari managed to raise one of her progressive
swords and sliced an arm off the gelatinous Angel. A sparkle appeared in
her eye as she realized how to deal with this Angel. Her Eva jumped onto
the Angel and bit into its neck.
Touji dealt with an enemy Eva unit had blindsided him while he
warned Hikari. He then looked over to his girlfriend. "Taste good?"
"Not as good as you do," Hikari said, looking up from the Angel's
stomach she was finishing devouring.
"Ha! Vile comment!" Touji pointed out.
"So? You're the one who can't say anything vile," Hikari reminded
him.
Touji frowned. "Oh, yeah... Hey! You haven't tasted me yet."
Hikari chuckled. "You'd be surprised at how tasty your lips are."
"I can't wait to taste your lips, hot stuff. Both sets."
Hikari went silent and gasped. <Shit, I was sort of hoping he'd
make it for the two weeks.> She was about to scold Touji, when she was
gutted by an Angel. It ripped into her Eva's chest cavity and started
ripping out various organs, rendered in vivid detail in the game
display. Before her screens went dark, she saw Touji's Eva slice her
killer into sushi. "Thanks, Touji, but I'm afraid you lost the bet with
that last comment."
For the rest of the game, Hikari and the others had to mute Touji's
comm system to avoid hearing expletives that no human being should ever
hear.
-E- -V- -A-
The gang stood waiting for Shinji to get off the phone. "I'm sorry,
Mom. A friend needed my help last night and I forgot to call," Shinji
said, and listened some more. "Yes." Another pause. "Yes." He glanced at
his friends, then whispered into the phone. "I love you too, Mom."
"Awww, Shinji loves his mommy!" Touji chided him.
Shinji blushed and Rei trembled.
"And what is wrong with that, Suzuhara?" Hikari said, pulling on
Touji's ear.
Touji gasped. "Owwwww... nothing. I'm sorry, Pumpkin." Hikari
released his ear, which Touji promptly rubbed.
"At least Shinji has a mother that didn't lie to him all his life,"
Rei softly commented.
Everyone frowned. Before Shinji could comfort Rei, Asuka slid next
to the trembling girl and put an arm around her.
Shinji was a bit shocked at how nice Asuka was being to Rei,
considering the way she normally acted towards people and Rei in
particular. It was a side of her that he had never seen before and he
kind of liked it.
"Err... sorry, Rei. I didn't mean to bring up a painful subject,"
Touji said, still under Hikari's glare.
Rei smiled slightly. "That's okay. I'm glad to have you all as my
friends." She wiped a tear off her eyelid.
"Group hug!" Hikari called out.
Hikari, Asuka, and Shinji got into the hug right away. Kensuke and
Touji glanced at each other and then joined the hug.
As the hug continued, Asuka tensed when she felt a hand on her
buttocks. At first she thought it was Rei's hand, but then noticed that
she could see both of Rei's hands. <Shinji, you naughty boy.> She tried
to decide if she should pound him or flirt with him. Deciding on the
later, she winked and smiled at Shinji, who looked confused.
Hikari hugged Rei, feeling sorry for her situation. She frowned
when she felt a hand on her buttocks, under her skirt no less. <I wonder
if Touji will ever grow up.> She flinched when she felt him tug on the
panties a bit. She shifted her position a bit to separate her from the
hand.
Kensuke tried not to let the enjoyment he was getting from feeling
up Asuka and Hikari show on his face. <Damn, this is much more fun than
fooling around with fake guns.> His glasses had fogged up by the time
the hug broke up, much to his chagrin.
The gang walked down the street, slowly breaking up. Hikari and
Touji were first to depart, either to their homes or to find someplace
where Hikari could ream Touji a new one for losing the bet. Probably the
later.
Shinji and Kensuke walked behind the two girls, who were busy
making girl talk. Shinji glanced over at Kensuke and was amazed to see
that he was checking out the girl's butts. Of course, Shinji liked the
view as well, but for Kensuke to do such a thing seemed very out of
character for him. "Kensuke, did something happen to you?"
Kensuke pushed his glasses back up his nose and looked at Shinji,
trying to look casual. "Nope, not really. Why?"
"Well, you've seemed so different over the past few days," Shinji
remarked.
Kensuke shrugged and turned his head away from Shinji. "Well,
nothing you won't go through someday."
Shinji stopped briefly, then caught up to Kensuke again. <Is
Kensuke in love with Asuka or Rei? That's the only thing I can think of
that would explain his sudden change of attitude.> Shinji decided he had
to do something, unconsciously making a choice between the two girls.
"Um, I'd steer clear of Rei if I was you. I don't think she's in any
shape to start a relationship."
Kensuke let out a loud guffaw. "Don't worry, Shinji, it's not that.
Just enjoying the view like any other man."
Shinji took a step back, noticed that Asuka and Rei had stopped and
were looking back at them. "Oh, of course. I guess I can't blame you, it
is a nice view."
Kensuke smiled and nodded. <But nothing compared to a woman's ass.
These little girls are nice, but a woman in her prime is best.>
Kensuke separated from the group and headed home shortly after. The
rest of the gang continued walking, each girl wishing the other would
leave her alone with Shinji. Asuka was about to suggest Rei go home and
talk things over with her mother, when a voice called out.
"Shinji!"
Shinji looked towards the source of the voice. "Oh, shit." He
looked awkwardly at his friends as his father waved at him next to a row
of vending machines. His boss, Professor Fuyutsuki, was with him.
Although Shinji was never sure why he was called 'Professor'. "Um... hi,
Dad."
"Your mother just called me, Shinji. I understand you wanting to
help a friend, but please call next time," Gendou said, placing a
fatherly hand on his son's shoulder.
"Err... yeah. Sorry about that," Shinji said, glancing nervously at
his friends. "You know Asuka, right?"
Gendou nodded. "Of course I know little Asuka! My, you've grown
into quite a young woman." Asuka blushed. "I can remember when you and
Shinji used to play and take baths together. You were such close
friends."
Asuka blushed deeper and looked awkwardly at Rei. She didn't dare
look at Shinji, for fear of losing control completely.
"Cut it out, Dad! You're embarrassing her" Shinji insisted. <Not to
mention me.>
Gendou laughed and messed up Shinji's hair, in the way that every
boy hates to have his father do. "So who is your other little friend?"
Shinji glanced at Rei. "Um... this is Rei. She came to town a
couple months ago."
"Nice to meet you, Rei," Gendou said. He bowed slightly, which Rei
returned.
"Yeah, she's the reason we made it into the Eva championships!"
Asuka said, patting Rei on the back. Rei looked embarrassed by the
praise.
"Ah! I knew Shinji couldn't get into the championship without some
help." Gendou started to laugh.
"Dad!" Shinji shouted. Then he tried to usher his friends away.
"Let's go guys."
"See you at home, Shinji," Gendou said, then started to work on the
chicken soup dispenser machine with Fuyutsuki again.
"Pass me a fourteen-B nozzle flange," Fuyutsuki instructed.
"Yes, Professor," Gendou said. He pulled out a small tube from his
toolkit and handed it to Fuyutsuki.
Fuyutsuki stuck the tube in the dispenser, causing a stream of
chicken soup to spurt out of the machine and cover his face with chicken
bits. He scowled and looked closely at the tube. "Idiot! That was
fourteen-F! Are you blind?!" He wiped his face off and then picked a
beak out of his hair.
Gendou started bowing profusely. "I'm sorry, Professor." He started
rummaging through his toolkit again, pulled out another tube, and handed
it to Fuyutsuki. The new tube looked identical to the previous one.
Shinji had been trying to get Asuka and Rei to leave the area, but
Asuka resisted. "Shinji?" Asuka asked, staring back at the two men.
"Yes, Asuka?"
"I thought your dad was a high-powered executive in a global
recycling company," Asuka said.
"Err... he is," Shinji insisted.
Asuka raised her eyebrow. "Looks like he's a vending machine
repairman to me."
"Umm... well... he's just helping out today. Yeah, that's the
ticket!" Shinji said, perking up at the end.
Asuka smirked. "Yeah, right." She finally let Shinji pull her away
from the vending machines, but not in time to miss hearing what his
father said next.
"Hey, Professor? Did I ever tell you about the time that Shinji wet
the bed when Asuka came over for a sleepover?" he said, before the
teenagers got out of earshot.
Shinji blushed deeply and looked at the ground.
"Shinji! You always claimed that *I* wet the bed that night!" Asuka
glared at Shinji.
"Err... well..." Shinji stammered.
"Pisse-kopf! How dare you pass your piss off as mine!" Asuka
snapped, and stomped off down the street. She was so angry that she
forgot that she had wanted to get together alone with Shinji to discuss
their missed date.
Shinji watched her stomp away and sighed heavily.
"I didn't know you had known Asuka for that long," Rei said, a
touch of jealously in her voice.
Shinji looked around awkwardly. "Um, yeah. We grew up together."
"Oh. Do you love her or me more?" Rei asked.
Shinji wasn't sure if Rei was being serious or not. "Um, well...
until recently she never showed any sign of liking me like that. Um... I
feel closer to you. I mean..." Shinji started to stammer, as he couldn't
seem to force the words out.
Rei placed a finger on his lips to silence him. "That's enough for
now. Let's go." She pulled Shinji down the street.
"Ummm, to where?" Shinji asked, nervously.
"Where we were headed before Asuka found us earlier," Rei said,
winking.
Shinji gulped loudly, startling some passing nuns. Actually, they
were probably startled more by the sight of the erection that was
growing in his pants rather than his gulp.
-E- -V- -A-
Hikari glared at Touji. "Dummy! You were doing so good!"
"I'm sorry... but you make me so horny! Especially the way you
handle the joystick in the Eva entry plug!" Touji pleaded from his knees
and apparently was making up for all the vile comments he hadn't been
able to say in the past few days.
Hikari shook her head sadly. "I guess you'll never change."
"I can! I'm really a sweet guy at heart!"
Hikari sighed. <I know you are, you dummy. Why do you think I put
up with your perverted ways?> After several more minutes of groveling,
Hikari knelt down in front of Touji, her buttocks resting on her heels.
"You're forgiven, but it's going to be awhile now before you get to see
those lips now."
"Actually, I can see them right now... your panties have slipped,"
Touji commented without thinking. He did remember to drool, at least.
Hikari snapped her legs shut and stood up from her squatted
position. "Pervert! Who do you think pulled on them before anyway?!" She
swatted him on the head then stormed off towards her home.
A confused Touji starred at her retreating back. "What did I say
now?" For once, he was innocent.
-E- -V- -A-
The bed was filled with naked flesh. Kaji rolled over on top of
Misato and kissed her deeply. "You are so much better in bed than Maya."
"Oh, so you've had sex with her?" Misato said, then crossed her
arms over her naked bosom and huffed.
"Yes, but it's nothing like the love that we have, my sweet
dumpling," Kaji said, giving her one of his most charming smiles.
"Oh god, Kaji. Do me now... and always," Misato said, then started
to nibble on his ear. She shuddered as she felt his body press closer
against hers.
A loud bang was heard as the hotel room door was kicked open and a
short woman with short brown hair stormed in. "Kaji, you god-dammed
mother-fucker!"
Kaji looked back and gasped. "Maya! It's not what you think!!"
"Oh, I supposed you just tripped and accidentally inserted your
penis into that woman? The woman you said meant nothing to you? Who you
said was stalking you?"
Kaji put on his most charming smile. "Of course, she means nothing
to me."
"I might believe that if your dick wasn't still inside her!" Maya
screamed.
Kaji lost some of his usually charming demeanor and slid off, and
out of, Misato. "But Maya!" He held out a hand for her. Of course,
something else was reaching out to Maya as well.
"Jackass! I wouldn't have cared if you wanted to have a hundred
sluts on the side-" Maya said, causing Misato to scowl. "-but to do this
so close to the election is just plain dangerous. If the press found
out, you'd be finished! And I can guarantee you that my father won't be
making any more speeches on your behalf. You'll be lucky if he doesn't
publicly revoke his support after this."
"Maya... Honey... can we talk about this? This marriage means so
much to me!" Kaji exclaimed, causing Misato to scowl more.
"Oh, I'll still marry you, you bastard! I want... no NEED the
prestige of being the wife of Tokyo-3's mayor. Other than that, you are
worthless to me with that little dick of yours!" Maya said.
With an imagined cry of 'timber', Maya's words chopped Kaji's
mighty pine down.
Maya smiled at the sight of Kaji's penis going limp. "What? You
thought I actually liked having sex with that little twig of yours? Get
real."
"Maya..."
"Shut up. Give her a goodbye fuck now if you want to, but don't
leave the hotel together. There are reporters who spend their days and
nights looking for sleazy little trysts like these you know. You two can
have your fun AFTER the election and our marriage, but until then, if I
see that slut within sight of you again, I'll arrange an accident for
her." She turned and stormed out of the room, leaving a bewildered
Misato and a Kaji, who wasn't half the man he used to pretend he was.
-E- -V- -A-
In the theater, Misato was swearing and stomping around the
theater.
Asuka smirked. "Well, who would know that Shinji's version of Maya
would be such a scheming and conniving bitch?"
Misato paused in her rampage upon hearing this. "Oh, I never
trusted Maya in our old world either... it's always the shy quiet types
that steal your boyfriends."
Asuka smiled and then quoted a statement made awhile ago by Misato.
"It's not real, you know."
"Shut up!" Misato snapped, then grabbed a handful of Maya pictures
from the Xerox machine and began tearing them up.
Asuka ignored Misato's latest rants and looked back at the
viewpoint. "On top of that, she stole MY line about the twig! The little
thief."
"I believe you'd need a copyright lawyer to make your case," Rei
informed Asuka.
Asuka chuckled. "Well... that's about the only good thing about
Third Impact: It killed all the lawyers."
"Shakespeare would have appreciated that," Rei commented softly.
"Why?" Asuka asked.
"The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers," Rei quoted.
"Why? They're already dead," Asuka replied, confused.
"No, that was a famous quote by William Shakespeare."
"Geeze, that's ancient history!" Asuka said, brushing off her
blunder. <Knew I shouldn't have skipped that Shakespeare course in
college to follow Kaji around.>
Misato stopped her cursing long enough to mutter a rhetorical
question. "Damn that Kaji. Why can't he just be a simple repairman like
Shinji's father?"
Asuka giggled. "Kaji a repairman? Oh please, he's not suited for
such a common job."
"Maybe, but at least then my other self could be happy," Misato
said, wistfully.
Asuka looked at the viewpoint in front of her. "She looks happy.
They are screwing their brains out."
Misato laughed out loud. "Ha! Won't fool me again."
Asuka smirked as she looked at the viewpoint again, which was
showing that Misato and Kaji were engaged in a sex scene that would be
banned in most countries. Then a thought struck her and she tapped
Shinji on his shoulder.
Shinji looked around and was startled to see it was Asuka. "Asuka?
Why didn't you pull my penis like you normally do to get my attention?"
"Ha! I knew you liked it!" Asuka gloated.
Shinji blushed. "No... err... I was just surprised.... I mean...
erk!!" His ramblings were interrupted when Asuka grabbed his penis.
"Yeah, right. Anyway, did you give your father a demeaning job on
purpose?" Asuka asked, then let go of the penis.
"No, of course not," Shinji said, succinctly. He turned away, but
smiled broadly as he returned to his trance.
Asuka noticed his smile. "I knew it! Little Shinji wanted to get
back at his father for all the crap he did."
"That may be why his perfect world is starting to deteriorate," Rei
mentioned.
"Gee, you think so?" Asuka remarked, sarcastically.
Asuka's tone of voice was lost on Rei. "Yes. If he was harboring
any ill will when he first envisioned the..."
Realizing Rei was going into one her long boring lectures, Asuka
tuned her out and looked back at the viewpoint showing Misato and Kaji
in the hotel room. She gasped at what it was currently showing. She
pulled a small notepad out of her pocket and began furiously taking
notes.
-E- -V- -A-
Misato screamed in pleasure as beads of sweat dripped off Kaji's
body onto hers. "Did you mean it, Kaji?" Misato asked, staring at the
ceiling while Kaji did his magic.
"Yes. I'm not going to marry her after hearing all that. The
wedding is supposed to be after the election, so I'll just dump her
after I get elected," Kaji insisted, brushing the hair out of Misato's
eyes. "It'll be a bit of a scandal, but the voters won't remember it by
the time for re-election comes."
"I love you, Kaji."
"I love you, Maya," Kaji said, while rocking back and fourth. As he
realized what he had said, his eyes went wide. "Err... Misato."
In the theater, Asuka smiled. "Damn, that other Misato is so
gullible. Or maybe not... ouch!" She cringed at what the viewpoint was
showing. "Hey, Misato! You might want to look at this!"
"Yeah, right. I'm not falling for that again," Misato said, from a
new pile of ripped up Kaji pictures.
Asuka smirked and returned to look at the other Misato chasing Kaji
around the hotel room with a mallet. "Serves Kaji right for selecting
the Shin Seiki Ranma fantasy suite."
-E- -V- -A-
Maya was walking down the hall towards the hotel exit when she
spotted someone kneeling in one of the doorways. She stopped and gasped
in surprise. "Ritsuko? What are you doing here?"
Ritsuko looked up from the door she had her ear pressed against in
an attempt to hear who was inside. So far, she had not been able to
identify Rei's voice in any of the panting or groaning she had heard.
"Maya? Um... I'm trying to find my sister... err... I guess I might as
well start calling her my daughter now."
Maya gasped. "Oh my. She found out?" She strolled over and put a
comforting hand on the blond woman's shoulder.
Ritsuko grasped the hand, desperately needing to latch onto
anything for support. "She found out last night and now I can't find her
anywhere. I thought maybe she might come to one of these sleazy hotels
with that walking cock she calls her boyfriend."
Maya giggled suddenly. "Yeah, I know that feeling. I just had to
chew out my fiance for seeing his mistress so close to the election."
Ritsuko couldn't help smiling. "You still stringing that fool along
so you can get into the mayor's mansion?"
Maya nodded. "Do you need help looking for your daughter?"
Ritsuko smiled and placed a hand on Maya's shoulder. "Thanks, Maya.
You're always there when I need you."
-E- -V- -A-
Shinji nervously handed over some cash through the little window
that the hotel clerk peered out of. The clerk handed a key and two
towels to Shinji, then shut the window.
Shinji relaxed a bit and walked into the entrance with Rei. "That
was close. I was afraid he was going to ask for some I.D."
Rei smiled. "Nawww... they don't care how old you are at places
like this. Anything for a few hundred yen."
Shinji gulped as he recalled some of Rei's past. <She must have
come to places like this with other men... and women.>
Rei noticed his nervousness. "Come on, Shinji. Don't be nervous.
This will be the first time I've ever done it with a boy I really
loved."
"What about your old boyfriend?"
Rei stopped in front of their room and shook her head. "That wasn't
love... I may have thought so at the time, but he was just using me to
gloat to his friends."
"I'm sorry. You deserve better," Shinji said.
Rei smiled and stepped on her tip-toes to kiss Shinji. "I love you,
Shinji. Everyone else was just for the sex... to try and fill the void
left in me by that fuc..." Rei took a deep breath to calm herself.
"You're so much more important than any of them."
Shinji blushed then opened the door and they stepped inside
together.
"Shit!" Shinji gasped when he saw that there was already someone in
the room and very clearly in the throws of passion.
Rei was even more shocked than Shinji because she recognized one of
the naked people immediately. "Mother?"
Ritsuko looked over at the door. "Rei? What the fuck are you doing
here?" she asked, although she knew very well why her daughter would
have come to a place like this.
"I could ask you the same thing! Why are you fucking another
woman?!" Rei screamed, pointing at the woman in bed with her mother.
"Well, Maya and I go way back. We ran into each other and..."
Ritsuko explained calmly.
"So you're... a lesbian?" Rei asked, astonished.
"What use could I have for a man?" Ritsuko said, slipping to the
edge of the bed and wrapping a sheet around herself. Maya had awkwardly
slipped to the other side and was silently getting dressed. "I mean,
I've dated some guys, but men are really only good for their dicks."
Rei fumed. "I can't believe this! You said you loved me, but
instead of being worried about me, you're here satisfying your lust with
some dirty lesbian?"
"Don't talk about Maya that way! She's been my lover for years.
She's better than any man could ever be!" Ritsuko bellowed, then felt a
tap on her shoulder. She looked around to see Maya had redressed.
Maya looked awkwardly. "Um... I really can't stay. If the press
ever found out about us..."
Ritsuko nodded. "Sure. I understand." She leaned over and kissed
the woman deeply.
Maya took a couple of awkward steps towards the door, the turned
around and whispered to Ritsuko.
Ritsuko blushed, turned around and pulled something out of her.
Trying to hide it from Rei and Shinji she handed a long slender object
to Maya, who quickly put it into her purse and departed.
"No wonder you think all men are scum. You can't pass judgement on
every man just because you're gay!" Rei snapped.
"That's a laugh. Who was the one the cops busted for prostitution
after she solicited an undercover policewoman?!"
"That was just for the money!" Rei insisted.
"Oh, that's so much better than doing it for love!"
"Well, I love Shinji!" Rei said. To prove it she kissed Shinji, who
had just been staring in shock at the nearly naked woman in front of
him.
"You little fool, that's what you said about Hasamoto! Is this one
going to get you pregnant and then almost beat you to death as well?"
"No, I won't! I'd never hurt her!" Shinji blurted.
"You stay out of this, you little asshole!" Ritsuko snapped at
Shinji.
Shinji straightened up and looked Ritsuko straight in the eye,
instead of her breasts which was where he had been looking. "Shut the
fuck up! Just because your life sucks, don't think that you can ruin
Rei's life too! She deserves better!"
"Who the hell are you to lecture me?" Ritsuko snapped.
"I'm the one who loves your daughter! You should try it sometime!"
Shinji yelled, then grabbed Rei's wrist. "Come on, Rei, she's never
going to change her tune."
Rei allowed Shinji to pull her out with him, briefly glancing back
at her mother with a mixture of sadness and hatred in her eyes.
Ritsuko ran out into the hallway to stop them. In the process, the
sheet she had been covering herself with caught the edge of the bed and
was left behind. Before she realized the sheet was gone, the door
slammed shut behind her. "Oh shit." She tried to open the door again, to
no avail. She pressed her breasts against the door and tried to hide
herself in the doorframe as a couple walked by. She smiled nonchalantly
as the couple looked strangely at her. "What the hell are you looking
at? Never seen a naked woman before?"
Awkwardly, the man answered. "Yes, but not with a vibrator stuck in
her ass."
Ritsuko swore and pulled out the second vibrator that she had
forgotten about in her shock and anger at seeing Rei and Shinji. Then
she tried to jimmy the door lock. "Damn, how did Maya do this before?"
-E- -V- -A-
Asuka was laughing her head off in the theater. "This is so messed
up. I never knew Shinji's mind was so twisted!"
Rei looked at the viewpoint sadly. "Well, that does explain why she
hates men so much."
"I wonder if Ritsuko and Maya were really lovers in our old world?"
Asuka asked, not expecting a reply.
"I doubt it. Ritsuko was sleeping with Mr. Ikari," Rei said.
Asuka smirked. "Really? The way he coddled you, I'd have guessed he
was doing you." She had hoped to get a rise out of Rei, but she didn't.
Rei shook her head slowly and answered softly. "No. I had to remain
a virgin."
Asuka couldn't tell if Rei was sorry she couldn't do it with Gendou
or was glad. "So why did you accept our bet so you can have sex with
Shinji now?"
"I am no longer a virgin," Rei declared.
Asuka's jaw dropped. She grabbed some popcorn from Shinji's stash
and pulled Rei down to the floor. "Come on, girl, spill it. I want
details."
"It's not what you think."
"What is?"
"I did not have sexual intercourse to lose my virginity. I lost it
when Third Impact was triggered."
"So I'm not a virgin anymore either? Damn, I didn't even feel a
thing." Asuka pouted.
Rei shook her head slowly. "I have no information on your status as
a virgin, but if you haven't had a penis in your vagina, you are still a
virgin."
Asuka smirked. "What textbook did you read that out of?"
Rei looked confused and then realized that Asuka must not have
understood what she meant, so she tried to say it in a way that she
believed Asuka could understand. "Um, I mean if your honey pot hasn't
been bopped by a rock hard cock then you are still a virgin."
Asuka just stared dumbfounded at the graphic description from Rei.
Suddenly, she wasn't that interested in finding out why Rei wasn't a
virgin anymore.
Rei apparently took Asuka's dumbfounded look as still being
confused, so she continued with her explanation. "Let me put it this
way... If that-" She pointed at Asuka's folds. "-hasn't had one of
those-" She pointed at Shinji's penis. "-in it, then you are still a
virgin."
"Okay... okay! I understand already," Asuka snapped. She really
should have learned not to talk to Rei anymore by now, but it's not like
she had many choices to choose from since Third Impact. <Well, I guess
Rei's better than the little dickhead and the blubbering fool in her
nest.> She glanced at Misato, who was still sulking on her nest of
torn-up Kaji and Maya pictures.
-E- -V- -A-
"Mom? Dad?" Shinji called out as he and Rei stepped into his
apartment. He didn't hear a response, so he led Rei in. He checked the
message board near the phone. "Hmmm, my mom is going to be late
tonight."
"Are you sure this is okay? I mean, will your parents really let me
stay for a few days?" Rei asked nervously.
"I hope so... but if I can convince my mom, my father will fall
right into line," Shinji said, smirking at the end.
Rei giggled, then blushed when her stomach growled.
Shinji smiled and looked through the refrigerator. "Let's see what
we have to eat." He tensed as he felt Rei press her body against his
back.
"Make it something fast," Rei whispered into his ear, letting her
hot breath blow across his earlobe.
Shinji's voice went high. "O... kay."
-E- -V- -A-
Yui pushed the door open with her butt and walked into the
apartment with her arms full of bags. "Shinji, are you home?" she called
out, but received no response.
She made her way into the apartment and into the kitchen. After she
put the groceries away, she started to walk down the hall to see if
Shinji was in his room. She stopped when she heard a knock on the front
door. "Yes?" she asked as she opened the door, revealing a young woman.
"Excuse me. I'm looking for my daughter and believe that she might
be with your son," Ritsuko said, looking into the apartment. She was
wearing an odd collection of clothes that were stolen from various hotel
guests while they were 'distracted'.
"Well, I just got home, but let me see if he's in his room," Yui
said, then walked down the hall to check.
Ritsuko paused briefly, but then decided she had to follow and see
for herself. <Maybe that little prick's mom will hide Rei from me.>
Yui opened the door to Shinji's room, not noticing Ritsuko sliding
in behind her. "Shinji are you..." She trailed off and gasped as she saw
Shinji and Rei curled up in bed together. They were both asleep in the
bed without any sheets covering their naked bodies. Both women gasped.
Yui turned around to see Ritsuko behind her. "Your daughter, I presume?"
she asked, calmly.
Ritsuko nodded and looked ready to kill. Or at the very least, make
Shinji a eunuch.
-E- -V- -A-
In the theater, Rei smiled slightly and looked over to Asuka.
"Looks like I won the bet."
Asuka looked away from the smiling girl, not wanting to meet her
gaze. Seeing Rei smile like that was disturbing enough, but knowing that
it meant that she had lost the bet about which of their alter egos would
be the first to make Shinji lose his virginity was the worst part. Not
that she would admit that. "So what! Who'd want to fuck Shinji anyway!"
she insisted, not convincing either of them.
Rei continued smiling at the viewpoint.
"Fine, then fuck him already!" Asuka yelled, pointing at Shinji.
"When the time is right," Rei said gently.
Asuka frowned at the unexpected response.
-E- -V- -A-
"Rei, get up!!" Ritsuko bellowed.
Shinji started at the loud voice and fell to the floor, waking up
Rei in the process.
Rei rubbed her eyes and then saw Ritsuko. "Shit. What are you doing
here, old-woman?"
Ritsuko flinched. "I was trying to find my precious daughter before
she did something stupid! But I can see that I'm too late."
"I love Shinji, dammit! It's not wrong!" Rei yelled.
A calm voice stopped the argument. "Shinji. Will you and your...
friend... please get dressed and join us in the living room? We need to
talk," Yui said, then pulled Ritsuko out of the doorway.
"Uhhh, sure." Shinji started looking for his clothes, looking
nervously at Rei.
Rei slipped her panties on. "Sorry, I shouldn't have suggested
this."
Shinji shook his head. "No, it's my fault for falling asleep."
Rei smiled briefly. "Well, you exerted yourself so much that you
wore both of us out."
Shinji blushed. "I think it was the lack of sleep from last night
in the park."
Rei finished putting her bra on and reached for her skirt. "No...
it wasn't, my stallion," she said, winking at Shinji. She leaned over
and gave Shinji a peck on his lips.
-E- -V- -A-
Shinji and Rei were sitting awkwardly across from their respective
mothers. Both were looking down at the floor, afraid to look their
mothers in the eyes.
"Now then, is this your friend that you spent the night with last
night?" Yui asked calmly.
Shinji fidgeted. "Err... yeah. But we didn't do anything last
night... she really did have some problems with her... mother." He
glanced at Ritsuko, a touch of hatred in his gaze.
"You shut up, little boy!" Ritsuko shouted.
Yui looked at Ritsuko. "Miss, please do not yell. This is my house
and we'll discuss this matter calmly."
"Fine, then I'll take MY daughter and leave!"
Rei cringed and held on tightly to Shinji's arm. "No! I'm never
going home with you!"
"Rei..." Ritsuko started, then went silent as Yui put a calming
hand on her arm.
"If you care about your daughter, let's talk to them and find out
what's going on."
Ritsuko looked ready to argue again, but slowly nodded.
Yui smiled slightly. "Now first, I need a little information."
-E- -V- -A-
A while later, Yui was brought up to speed on how Rei was adopted
by Ritsuko's mother and a bit of her past, but no one bothered to talk
about her miscarriage or sordid past with boys. And girls, for that
matter.
Yui nodded. "I see. Well, Rei I can understand why you are so
troubled. Finding out all that must have made you latch onto my son for
support."
"No! It's not just that! I love him!" Rei insisted and gripped
Shinji's arm tighter.
"I see. Shinji, how do you feel?"
Shinji wouldn't meet his mother's gaze. "I really wish you wouldn't
treat me like one of your patients, Mom!"
"Just tell me, Shinji."
"I... I love her. I know it's silly, but I can't stand to see her
hurt..." Shinji trailed off, unsure what else to say. Rei had smiled at
his admission.
"I can see that both of your feelings are very strong. What about
Asuka?"
Shinji started at the unexpected question. "Asuka? Um... why do you
ask?"
"I thought she was your girlfriend," Yui calmly stated.
Shinji gasped. "Well, no... not really. She's a friend, but we
aren't like that." He neglected to mention that he had almost started
dating her recently.
"Oh." Yui frowned slightly. "So, how often have you been having
intercourse with Rei?"
"Mom!" Shinji shouted, then blushed. "Never... err... well. That
was our first time."
"Ha! That's a laugh after how I found you last night!" Ritsuko
snapped.
"Our first uninterrupted time!" Shinji clarified.
"Are you using protection?" Yui asked.
Shinji blushed. "Err... yes."
"Good. Now then... Shinji, you're too young to be doing that. I
understand your feelings, but I can't remain silent on it."
Ritsuko was getting very agitated and suddenly spoke out. "Can we
stop all this bullshit and get to the part where I get to take my
daughter home and away from this little asshole?"
Yui shot Ritsuko a stern glare. "Miss! I've asked you nicely to
watch your language in my home> If you can't do that, you can leave now!
So far, I'm inclined to let Rei stay with us -- separately from Shinji,
of course -- until you can calm down. Anger doesn't solve anything."
"Who are you to tell me what to do with my own daughter?!" Ritsuko
asked.
Yui looked Ritsuko straight in the eyes. "It's my understanding
that you are legally just her sister, correct?" Ritsuko gulped and
nodded. "So until her legal guardian comes, I can't in good conscience
let her go with you. I'm sure the police would feel the same way."
Ritsuko glared at Yui. "Well, my mom is out of town on business."
"I'm not moving out of Tokyo-3!" Rei insisted, knowing that her
grandmother was really looking for a new job to avoid confronting Rei's
problems directly.
"You'll go where we say."
"No! She'll stay here with me... as my wife!" Shinji blurted.
Rei smiled and gazed into Shinji's eyes. Yui smiled with pride at
her son's mature reaction to his girlfriend's plight. Ritsuko exploded.
"Like hell she will!" Ritsuko yelled, grabbing Rei's wrist. She
pulled hard, causing Rei to wince in pain.
Before Shinji could do anything, Yui grabbed Ritsuko's free wrist
and twisted. In a flash, Ritsuko was sent flying over Yui's shoulder and
crashed into an end table, flattening it. Yui looked down at the prone
woman. "First, they aren't even legal age, and second, I think you'd
better stop trying to bully her into doing what you want. Violence isn't
the answer."
Ritsuko staggered to her feet and wiped some blood off her lip.
"You're one to talk."
"Say what you like, but I won't let you hurt either of them."
The awkward standoff was interrupted by the front door opening.
"I'm home!" Gendo's voice called out. He walked into the living room and
looked confused at the scene that befell his eyes. "Oh, we have guests,"
he said, wondering why one of the guests was lying on the remains of an
end table and bleeding.
"Yes, this is Shinji's FRIEND, Rei, and her mother. I'm afraid our
son has just proposed to Rei here," Yui explained quickly.
Gendou started at the news, but then took on his best fatherly
stature and voice. "Now, Son, you're much too young to get married,
especially when you have that nice Asuka."
Shinji fumed. "Oh, who the hell cares about Asuka! I love Rei!"
In the theater, Asuka flinched at the comment. Rei glanced briefly
at the redhead, still wearing the same smile as before. Asuka ignored
the smile.
"Now, Son..." Gendou started to say, but Ritsuko interrupted him.
Ritsuko had walked slowly over to Rei and took her hand gently.
This calm action startled Rei, so she didn't resist. "Rei. I'm sorry
about everything, but you really can't marry Shinji. Now or ever."
Rei grew angry again. "Shut up! You sound just like a scratched
DVD! I'll marry him... with or without your permission!"
"You can't. He's... your half-brother," Ritsuko said.
"What?!" everyone except Ritsuko yelled out.
Gendou finally managed to get a good look at Ritsuko. "Oh... no..."
Ritsuko sighed heavily and pointed at Gendou. "Rei, this is your
father, Gendou Rokubungi."
After the large thud caused by Gendou collapsing to the floor in
shock, the room went silent.
-E- -V- -A-
And the theater exploded.
"No!" came Rei's startled gasp.
"Fucking your own brother! I love it!" Asuka said and burst out
laughing.
"I told him he wouldn't like it!!" Misato yelled from her nest of
torn-up pictures.
Shinji shook out of his trance and dropped to his knees. "No...
no... that can't be!"
Asuka smiled and came over to Shinji. "'Fraid so... looks like you
fucked your own sister!" She started laughing again.
"Shut up!" Shinji snapped, then shook his head slowly. "No... I
didn't want her related to me... not after what I found out in the
cloning tank."
"Cloning tank?" Asuka asked.
"Yes... I found out that Rei is a clone of my mother," Shinji
explained.
Asuka looked between Rei and the Yui visible in the viewpoint.
"Really? I guess there is a resemblance..."
"What?" a startled gasp from Rei interrupted her.
Shinji looked over and saw that it was Rei who spoke. "You didn't
know? I... I'm sorry, but Ritsuko showed us the tank with all the
other..."
Rei shook her head. "I know I'm technically a clone, but not of
your mother."
"Huh? But..."
"I was created during Second Impact. If anyone could be called my
mother, it would be Misato."
"What?!" Misato's startled cry rang out, echoing off the distant
walls of the theater. She staggered to her feet.
Rei nodded. "I was created using material from the Second Angel and
your eggs. That is why you were placed in the escape pod... so that you
could escape with me and the other First Children in your womb."
Misato started to tremble. "This sucks."
After Misato collapsed to the floor in shock at the news, the
theater went silent.

=======================================================================
Author's notes/ramblings:
Pisse-kopf is German for piss-head.
Are the revelations starting to drive you mad? Don't worry... they will
get even worse in the next book which really sucks.
As indicated above, this ends the first 'book' of Garden of EVA. The
next book will be the 'sucks' portion of the story. I know ending the
first series of stories with a group of shocking revelations is a bit
cruel, but I'm not going to make you wait long for 'Sucks' to start with
the first part: "Garden of EVA 1:1 - Families Suck!"
The chicken soup dispenser jokes were inspired by the very first Red
Dwarf episode.
Just to forestall any argument... it was never stated directly in the TV
series or the movies that Rei was a clone of Yui. It was implied and I'm
fairly certain that that was the creators' intentions, but Rei being
smuggled away from Second Impact within Mistao's womb does fit with the
events shown in the TV series (she was about 14 at the time). It's not
my fault the creators were so vague about everything that they didn't
explain Rei's origins directly and left this opening for me.
I know the 'Red Book' directly states that Rei is a clone of Yui, but I
am using what actually was mentioned and shown in the 26 TV episodes as
'canon' for Garden of EVA. Although elements from the End of Evangelion
movie are starting to find their way in (mostly to explain Third Impact
which was glossed over so quickly in the TV series), Garden of EVA will
not end like the TV series or the movies. Anything up to and including
the 5 minute alternate world in the TV episode 26 is my canon as far as
Garden of EVA is concerned.
I'd like to thank my pre-readers Thomas Kinnen, Arnold Callwood, Axel
Terizaki, Johan Holmberg, EBJ, Lilly Maxx, James Grabowski, and David
Johnston for helping me find and fix problems with this story. FFML
members Chris Davies, Cherry Tiger, Michael A. Chase, Thomas C. Kinnen,
Mark Ferrer, and Ravi Duvvuri were also helpful in fine tuning this
story. Thank you all. Of course in the end, any mistakes and botched
characters are my fault.

Kasumi found her father cradling her mother in his arms. He
had run out of tears to shed long ago, but the expression on his face
told the story.
After several minutes of silence, Soun asked with a scratchy
voice, "Kasumi dear. Will you please say goodbye to your mother?"
"Of course, Father," Kasumi said. She stood up, took one of her
mother's hands in her's, and said a soft, "Goodbye, Mother. I'll keep
my promise."
