Chapter 3
A Headache of Misato / Unshaven Advice
**************************************************************** ***********

Shinji, Rei, Misato, and a glaring Asuka sat eating breakfast; Gendo and Ritsuko had been called to welcome some visitor and didn't have time to hang around for something like food. Shinji smiled happily and Rei seemed to have a slightly upbeat aura, which for her meant she was almost euphoric. Neither had been able to say they loved the other but they both knew the other cared and that was enough.

Asuka had been trying to get Shinji's attention for most the morning but just as she was about to wing a platter of rice crackers at his head she heard a familiar voice. Misato also heard this voice and froze with wide eyes and a pale face. "Ohayo everyone, having a nice breakfast?" Asuka glomped onto the speaker known as Kaji as Misato swirled around and drew a kitchen knife then charged screaming. The unshaven man had no choice but to run around the table screaming with a red-head flying from his hips like a banner as a screaming woman chased him with a butcher knife calling him a two-timing hentai.

Shinji and Rei both felt sweat drops form on the backs of their heads watching the scene. Shinji wasn't able to keep from laughing for long once he saw the look of terror on Kaji's face as he ran out of the room with Misato on his heals and Asuka still clinging to him like white on rice.

Gendo and Ritsuko both had the same startled looks on their faces as Shinji and Rei before Gendo cleared his throat and Ritsuko broke into laughter saying how a leech could be burned off but Kaji would need to have an armed guard to keep Misato and Asuka off him. Nobody really spoke after that as they ate. Kaji, Asuka, and Misato could be seen or heard every so often as they ran by the door or outside the window with a bunch of guards now chasing them as they tried to stop the man from getting stabbed or squeezed to death.

After becoming too tired to keep chasing Kaji, Misato finally dragged Asuka who had fallen off of the unshaven man's waist a while back to the table again. Asuka had wanted to keep up the chase but with her knowledge of how "Kaji-san will return to me." she finally let Misato take her back to breakfast. Seeing the joking smile on Shinji being hidden away Asuka decided to wipe the smile off, her original idea of trying to seduce Shinji had gone awry and hurt her pride but only made her more focused towards her goal.

Asuka sat down next to the brown haired target and smiled her sweetest smile causing him to blush as she tightened her kimono making the soft silk hug her curves and push up her breasts displaying a wonderful view of cleavage as she pretended not to notice, while leaning in slowly. "W-wh-what are you doing Asuka?" Came the simple question from her target.

The redhead simply smiled and looked into his eyes, winking playfully almost making him pass out. "I'm waiting for my good morning kiss." Was her reply as she leaned closer. Misato was watching intently as she saw what was coming. Ayanami glared daggers and Ritsuko and Gendo were speechless but hid their grins well.

What saved Shinji was Kaji's re-entrance into the room. "Wow Asuka, since you have a boyfriend now I guess you're not free anymore. Oh, who will I turn to for comfort from my loss now?" He stated over-dramatically while looking at Misato hopefully but was greeted by a glare.

Fearing she was losing her chance with Kaji she smiled at him and backed away from Shinji. "You're so silly Kaji-san. You know nothing could come between us." She stated this in her most sensual voice and smiled a smile to equal Kaji's lady-killer. Misato dropped her spoon at the comment and Kaji froze. Ritsuko and Gendo simply stared at her. Shinji bristled and looked about ready to actually raise his voice.

That left one blue-haired girl giving a small upturn of her lips as she wrapped her arms around Shinji's shoulders. "I guess that means Shinji-sama is free to keep me as he wishes without your interruptions." Asuka began seething. Being trapped as she glared at Ayanami she nodded preferring a chance with Kaji than Shinji no matter how much her heart screamed for her to choose the other. Ayanami left the room pulling Shinji by the hand in the direction of his room.

Asuka ran out of the room crying and trying to hide her tears. Kaji being forgotten and the only thing in her thoughts was an image of Shinji sleeping next to her rival. She didn't stop running until she collapsed and sobbed when Hikari caught up to her and held her as she cried herself almost to sleep. Shinji was the only thing on her mind as she was taken to her room and Hikari spent the rest of the day trying to comfort her friend. `Damn my pride!' Was her last thought as she fell into a restless slumber that night.

----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------

Shinji sat thinking on a large log near the shore tossing pebbles into the water thinking of the pain he saw on Asuka's face. He had asked Ayanami for some time to think and she had agreed regretfully saying she'd be waiting for him when he came back. He tossed another pebble into the water imagining it as his action causing ripples of pain into the calmness of his home. He was so caught up he failed to realize he had another person coming up to him.

Kaji smiled sitting next to the young boy. "Hello Shinji-kun. Why so down? You have two girls chasing after your heart and all you're doing is sulking." Having been the one who comforted Misato as she sobbed when Kaji had been found out and knowing every detail of the events had given him a strong dislike of the man who now sat on the log next to him as he cast the famous Ikari family glare at him.

Not even bothering to look at the man he stood up and began walking away towards home. A hand on his shoulder stopped him, as he tried to keep from hitting the offender. "Shinji-kun, let me give you some advice." His voice turned almost sad as he looked out at the water. "Don't pass up something good by choosing to see what else is out there. I learned the hard way."

Shrugging the hand from his shoulder firmly the young prince began his walk back but not before pausing a few steps away. "Don't give advice you can't follow yourself. It makes you sound stupid." Shinji started walking again as the startled man watched him walk away. Kaji had never thought the shy young man would have the courage to say such a thing. Glaring at the image of the young man in the distance he felt a new dislike for the boy but even as he thought about how the boy was so rude to him for giving advice he thought about how true his words were and that realization hurt more than anything he could have imagined.

----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------

Misato was asleep as her door opened and a figure entered her room. She woke as she felt her bed shift and to her surprise instead of seeing Kaji trying to sneak into her bed she saw the sad figure of Shinji sitting there looking at her. He hadn't been able to go back to his room knowing the blue haired girl was there and he couldn't sleep on Asuka's futon that was always set up next to her bed incase he had a bad dream like when they were little. "Misato-san? Can I sleep here with you tonight? I don't want to go back to my room right now."

Misato didn't even need to think twice as she scoot over for him and held the blankets for him to climb in never having been able to tell him "No". She didn't feel like being alone right now anyway after seeing Kaji back. They drifted off to sleep both wishing life was easier. A while later Misato was woken up again by a different sound. She looked at the young boy in her bed and saw him crying as he did the day his mother had died. She felt her heart cringe at each tear wrapping her arms around him comfortingly. Even in a deep sleep he cried and his tears flowed the rest of the night.

----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------

Things had gone mostly back to normal since that night a few weeks ago. Rei and Asuka both competed for Shinji's heart while he tried to get them to stop fighting, Kaji chased after Misato when she wasn't chasing him with a knife or sword or some other weapon promising him a creative and brutal death, Ritsuko and Gendo were rarely able to be found working hard on some new project of theirs, and Hikari and Toji got teased by Kensuke constantly as he told them "I told you so" every chance he got about how he was right about their feelings for each other.

The few differences were that Shinji always climbed into Misato's bed quietly each night. His fear of being alone with either of the girls had steadily gotten worse as his sobs got quieter and more painful each night. The purple haired woman held him in her arms each night trying to ease his pain, and thinking of how scared he must be to truly ask for anything for himself. He had told her about Kaji's words, which only made her angrier with the man knowing it was just a trick to get Shinji to tell her so she would sleep with him again. She had long since realized that Kaji never did anything without thinking how it could help him.

As they both got up one morning [2nd Tuesday of April 1500A.D. if any of you want to know] they got dressed and went down to the dinner table. Everyone else was eating except for Gendo and Ritsuko who were off talking to someone in the conference room. They sat down and started eating as well. Kaji was sneaking glances at Misato as Asuka tried playing footsy with Shinji and Ayanami was touching his thigh as he inched closer to his purple haired protector. Ayanami and Asuka noticed this then glared at the one woman they both felt was too close to their Shinji.

That was when Gendo and Ritsuko walked into the dining hall. They sat down and waited for everyone to stop their glaring and once all was calm Gendo spoke. "Shinji it is time to take your part in this country's affairs. The man Dr. Akagi and myself were speaking with was a messenger from a different country. China has declared war on us Shinji, and I've appointed you to the task of leading our army." Everyone froze at those words, the girls most of all.

Misato was the first to stand. "My lord, I request to be appointed as prince Shinji's personal guard for his time in our military." Her idea was echoed by the two young women and as soon as Kaji registered what the object of his lust stated he then did the same hoping to score some points, needless to say he got only a scowl back and a smiles from Asuka.

"No" was the word from Gendo's mouth. That simple word startled everyone at the table except Ritsuko. "Shinji must learn to stand on his own two feet. He can't hide in your room forever Katsuragi. He must grow stronger so that he can become king and he must learn of his inner power which I have been told of." Several guards walked into the room with several pieces of armor. "This will be what protects you Shinji. It was a gift from king Sohryu as a gesture of good faith. It is the armor of the god of war. It is better known as the armor of Godimus." Gendo turned to his son looking at the armor skeptically. "It is said that anyone who wear's all the pieces of it shall become a god."

Everyone looked at the king strangely until he took Shinji's hand and held it over a piece of the armor. Once he let go the piece of metal began to glow brightly then faded out from its place in the box only to fade back in on his forearm. Energy seemed to erupt from the fragment of armor filling Shinji with its power and drawing the other hand over another piece. The two leg pieces flowed to his feet and the breastplate clasps to his chest before they all adjust to his size perfectly. The young boy looked shocked as he stared at the armor covering his exposed skin where sleeves, chest, and legs had been covered by a kimono. "We do not have the helm for it to become complete but it is something I hope you can find. Your power should be enough to keep you safe from normal attacks and weapons but I have heard they have powerful warriors who could still be dangerous until you find the last piece."

Shinji nodded and looked at his armor wondering how simple metal could make him feel so strong. He decided to think about it another time as he sat back down starting to eat as Misato examined and touched the metal while the girls do the same on his other side. He forced himself to eat and stopped in place suddenly as Asuka's foot softly probed to see if any parts they can't see are metal now. Her feral smile to Ayanami and Misato's questioning gazes told them why he had stopped and her report on if the metal stopped where the cloth of his garments ended.

Both Misato and Ayanami blushed brightly and tried not to think about it as Asuka smiled at her love with an evil grin. Her foot felt something soft at first but it steadily became more metal-like until she removed her foot. Shinji's face was now a deeper red than anyone had seen on any silk for years. The rest of the day progressed with Kensuke poking and looking at the armor and Toji trying to get Shinji to spar with him until the skinny boy tried out his new power and scared the largest stooge into shutting up.

That night Shinji slept in his own bed next to Ayanami. She had been so scared he wouldn't come back that he couldn't tell her "no" when she asked him to share his bed with her. Asuka smirked at her and told her that if the armor was given from her country it would keep him safe so she didn't have to worry but the fear never left her eyes. The young boy woke up to the feeling of soft lips against his coming from the dark. When he looked up he saw his blue haired companion laying on top of him and holding him tightly. That was when her next question came and like before, he couldn't make himself say "no".

 

That night, Shinji Ikari became a man.
