Neon Genesis Evangelion Fan Fiction ❯ Waiting ❯ Chapter 2 ( Chapter 2 )

So…..one sided conversation, are fun to write. Enjoy, and PLEASE REVIEW.

 

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

 

1 year and 6 months after Third Impact, much that once was, still is………

 

(Cryostasis Client Katsuragi Misato, in full hibernation, vitals are stable, all is well) The robotic voice rang out.

 

Shinji and Asuka watched as Misato's still form, clad in a white…..well…in all honesty it was pretty much a plug suit, she was encased in a glass tube shaped case, tubes going in and out of it, providing her support, providing her life. She hadn't aged a bit in the past year, she hadn't moved a bit in the last year either.

 

But both of the former pilots clung on to hope, they would never give up on her, just like she never gave up on them.

 

`1 year……….' Shinji and Asuka couldn't believe it had been a whole year since the day they found their guardian.

 

Moving in with Kagome was weird, but necessary, at least they didn't have to stay in the shelter anymore, but eventually, Kagome met a guy and moved away. There were no harsh feelings; it was just time to move on. At the age of 16 they were both legal adults in the province of Japan, the UN still provided for them, at least until they had a steady career. Many higher ups in the Council were very appreciative of the sacrifices that the Children had made in defense of the world, and would stop at nothing to make their new lives easier.

 

Both of the Children had advanced significantly academically speaking, they had finished the rest of their junior high and high school tutelage in that one year. Well it was more like, the UN saying that since they were former Eva pilots, they'd had enough mandatory learning and education for an entire lifetime, especially since the school that they were placed in was an advanced specialty school anyway. They had the opportunity to go to the best university, courtesy of the UN, which by now had become the new temporary government in most countries of the world, since a lot of people hadn't returned yet, the UN was also solely in charge of Japan completely.

 

Everyday Shinji would come and visit Misato, he'd sit with her, sometimes he would talk, and sometimes he would just sit, and think and remember and wait.

 

It was all he could do to cope, for the first 4 months of that year he had `moped' as Asuka called it.

 

Asuka finally had enough of his moping one day and had it out with him……….

 

“Baka Shinji! Do you think this is what Misato would have wanted? For you to waste your life away, by doing nothing? Misato is going to wake up eventually, and she's gonna be disappointed if she sees you moping and doing nothing! We have to keep on living! If we don't, then Misato might as well have never come back. It would be a waste for her to come back to a moping family, and I for one am going to make something of myself. We're no longer who we used to be, we don't pilot Evas, we don't fight anything anymore. We need to find out who we are, what we believe in, and what we want to do for the rest of our lives. We HAVE to, because that's what Misato would want. I don't know about you Baka, but I'm going back to life” She left him with that to think about….

 

Motivational yes?

 

After Asuka's monologue that day Shinji had gone to see Misato…..

 

“Asuka told me today…..she told me to find myself…….and that you would be disappointed with me if you knew that I'd been moping about doing nothing with my life…….I ….I know she's right……when you wake up Misato-san…I…I want to know who I am…..I want to be who I want to be…….so I'm going to start now…….I'll still come see you maybe not everyday, but as much as I can…….I just…. I can't just sit around anymore…….I want you to wake up and be proud of the ….of the man that I've become. I promise Misato-san, I promise to be more than I've ever been”

 

The following years worth of words spoken to the comatose Misato, sounded something like this for Shinji…..

 

“Misato- san they found the others!! Toji, Kensuke, Hikari, Ibuki-san, Hyuuga-san, Aoba-san, and Commander Fuyutsuki, but Ritsuko-san and the Commander….my Father, there's no sign of them. I guess they did find Rei, or what she is now I guess…..the UN is holding her until they decide that she's safe for society, I hope they let her out soon….at least I get to see her once in awhile though. I'm not quite as lonely as I once was,…...but I still miss you”

 

“Com….Fuyutsuki-san has kinda become like a father to me…..it's kinda weird, but I appreciate his efforts, its just……..it's a new feeling ya know? I mean I know that you were always there for me….but its different….cuz he's a guy…..so we can talk about guy things…….it was awkward at first, but now I feel like I can tell him anything……I'm really glad that I have someone like that who talks back……please wake up Misato. I need you too.”

 

“It's my 20th birthday Misato-san, I just wanted to come say hi, maybe you can wake up and go party with the rest of us…..no……..ok…..maybe next time….I'll see ya later”

 

“UGH Misato-san I have the worst headache, I don't know how you could ever drink so much, Toji kept egging me on until I was so drunk I couldn't walk straight, it was a fun, it was kinda weird because all of the old staff from NERV came too, but everyone loosened up and everything was fine, especially after Asuka got drunk, cuz then she started to kiss everyone, even Fuyutsuki-san that was hilarious, his face got really red, Toji and Kensuke got kissed too. It was so funny! She kissed the girl that were there too Hikari blushed and pushed her away just like Ibuki-san, and Rei just laughed, oh yeah I forgot to tell you that the UN said Rei was no threat to society, even they put some sort of bracelet on her just to be safe though, she doesn't seem to mind but because she's mostly Angel they wanted to be careful. Rei's been doing really well though, she's not so in-human anymore, she's really loosened up, she's staying with me, and Asuka, so the old team's almost all back together. I think you'd like the new Rei……I miss you Misato-san, come back to us soon”

 

“Misato-san! I got accepted to Julliard! I get to go to American! Fuyutsuki-san was really proud. I'm excited……but I'm scared, I'll come see you every break though …..….I promise to see you soon..”

 

“Misato-san…...I….I have a girlfriend now…..her name is Mana…..I think you'd like her…..I really do……but I still miss you.”

 

“I'm Majoring in Music Theory Misato-san…….my teacher says that I'm one of her best cellists. I don't know what I want to do; I just know that I want to do something in music”

 

“Misato-san remember that girl I was telling you about a few months ago……well…..I guess it isn't working out…….she thinks I'm weird for constantly coming to see you, but I don't care, your more important to me than she is.”

 

“Misato-san, this famous rock band wants me to play cello for them on their album. Who would have thought that I'd be in a rock band…….I don't want to go on tour with them though……..maybe I'll just record with them........I really miss you Misato”

 

“I'm back! Did you miss me? Of course you did, I moved back to Japan, I'm in an apartment right down the street from here. So I'll be seeing you more often. I kinda grew my hair out, it's not really long…..it's just shaggy, the band said that I looked cooler with it and I don't mind it either, I hope you like the way it looks when you wake up. I'm recording a new solo album….I hope it sells well, I dedicated it to you, I brought my cello so I'll just play some of it for you,….just listen ok…..and if you feel like it…….wake up..”

 

“I think I really screwed things up this time Misato-san……me and Asuka……we kinda……UGH why am I telling you this……maybe if I tell you you'll wake up and hit me upside the head…..I wish you would…..maybe you will, so I'm gonna tell you……….I slept with Asuka last night……..it was really great, but….confusing.”

 

“You remember that confession I told you last time…….well we tried to see if a relationship between us would work….but it doesn't seem to…..I mean…..*blush* physically it works great, but…….we want different things in life. I love her and I always will but I guess it's time to move on……..I miss you Misato-san please wake up…..”

 

“Me and Asuka are still good friends, thank God, it's almost like it never happened, but…..in a good way, because she doesn't just hit me anymore, sometimes she hugs me or gives me a friendly kiss on the cheek. I think I like this sort of relationship, it's just a good friendship now, and I'm really grateful for that.”

 

“God I'm such a fucking screw up Misato…….me and Rei we were drunk….and things happened and we ended up sleeping with each other……it was nice, but…….I just don't know if it was a mistake or not…..I guess I'll have to sort it all out. Oh yeah my album is the second place in the entire Eastern World, and I think it's making its way over to the Western World too. That's how they've sectioned the world off now, ya know. All of Asia, even the little islands are now called Eastern World and the Americas and all of Europe are the Western World and Africa and the Middle-eastern worlds are Mid World. It seems a lot simpler that way; the UN is still the administrative government though in Japan. It seems to be working really well……Asuka is working for them now……….”

 

“Who'd of thought that sleeping with my two closest friends would make our friendship better, weird. But yeah there is definitely no `me and Rei'. We're definitely just friends, but better friends. I don't think I'll ever find a girl I can settle down with, I'm getting old Misato….I'm 30 now, wake up and maybe I'll sleep with you, and our relationship will be better. Hehe, just kidding, but I'm going to America for a few weeks to do some recording with this other band, I'll be back soon ok! Maybe you'll be awake and we can crack a Yebusi, well a regular Yebisu for you and a Premium Black Yebisu for me, they just came out with that kind, it's the best, I hope you can have one with me soon. I love you Misato.”

 

The following years worth of words spoken to the comatose Misato, sounded something like this for Asuka…..

 

“I yelled at Baka Shinji today, I told him to get off his ass and start living, Mein Got, I don't know how you did it Misato……it's hard, we're not all alone now, I'm sure he's told you about the others, it's nice to have other friends…..but…I…WE all miss you.”

 

“Fuyutsuki's been hanging out with us a lot, he's kinda old, but he's a nice guy, it's nice to know that someone is still watching out for us…..but…..that's what your supposed to be doing….so wake up damnit!”

 

“I guess I went a little crazy at the Baka's party, I don't even remember what happened, but now every time I go near anyone they start blushing, I don't know what the hells wrong with them. Gott in Himmel I think they're just all nuts. Rei's living with us now, she's actually not that bad, I mean……we're not best friends or anything….but we're……friends. Just wake up ok? It's not the same craziness without you.”

 

“Baka's going to America, and I'm staying here….I'm accepting a position with the UN, I already have a university degree and I don't really feel like going to even more school so, I'm starting in as First Lieutenant Asuka Sohryu Langley, Assistant Commander of Operations. They've been bugging me to join for awhile……I mean of course they want me. I am after all The Great Asuka Sohryu Langley. Who wouldn't want me? I expect to be running the place in a year or two…..maybe I'll become a Major like you. Please wake up Misato”

 

“Shinji's dating some skank!! Can you believe him? You'd think he'd be smarter than to date a tramp like her, what kind of a name is MANA anyway? Wake up so you can set him straight”

 

“Danke Gott he finally grew a brain and dumped the tramp. She was bitching at him about how he comes back to see you, what a cold-hearted wench, I'd like to get my hands on her…….you probably would too….so wake up.”

 

“I got promoted!! I'm Captain Asuka Sohryu Langley now! I worked damn hard for it too! So Shinji's gonna be some sort of rock star, who'd of thought that quiet little Shinji would be in a band, a pretty good band too, using classical instruments in rock music has been quite the trend lately. Shinji's changed too, for the better I guess, he's not so quiet anymore, he's definitely grown a spine, last week on the phone I was talking to him about this idiot who keeps asking me out and he said `I'll come over there and kick his ass for you Asuka' definitely not the old Shinji talking that's for sure, he's……we've both grown up, I hope you like how we turned out, how everything's turned out. I think you'd like the structure of our new government Misato. They're motto is Protect, Provide, Preserve. Wake up so you can appreciate it and us.”

 

“Verdamnt I don't know what I was thinking! We were just sitting there and somehow we had sex…….me and Shinji!! I……ok yeah I was expecting it, maybe even wanted it, but now…..it's just weird……..things are kind of awkward now…….are we friends, are we dating, what are we? Gott Misato I could really use some girl talk right about now. His body is definitely to die for, he used to be all scrawny, but I guess using his arms to play the cello really toned him, and he's not all that bad in the sack either……..I wonder where he learned……oh no! The skank……I'd better not get any STDs, I gotta run and get tested, wake up soon Misato so you can kick his ass just in case I can't. Oh and another thing I got this hair cut, and Shinji said it looks exactly like Mana's hair cut, so he showed me a picture of her and IT DOES! I was so pissed. GAH. Whatever I like the way it looks, it's easier to manage so who cares, she's gone so my hair is staying the way it is..”

 

“Good news I don't have any STDs, better news me and the Baka are still friends, we tried giving the whole relationship thing a try, but it was just too….weird. I'm ok with it he's ok with it, I think it's actually improved our friendship. He's like the best friend I never had…..maybe he's the GAY best friend I never had……no……definitely NOT gay. Wake up soon, I could still use some girl talk, Rei will talk, but she's still a little new in the whole guy department”

 

“I'm pretty sure Shinji slept with Rei…..I'm not positive but you can cut the tension in the apartment with a knife. Meh it'll probably just end up like me and Shinji, I'm never going to find the right guy…….there's just no one my age that I could picture myself with……..I'm 30 now……and I want kids……I need to get married. Shinji's going to the States, and I'll be on assignment for awhile in Russia, should only be a few weeks, I'm supposedly up for another promotion, Major Asuka Sohryu Langley does have a nice ring to it don't you think? Wake up soon…….and we'll go find some men together. I love you Misato.”

 

The following years worth of words spoken to the comatose Misato, sounded something like this for Rei…..

 

“Major Katsuragi,……I'm not exactly sure what to say……this is Ayanami Rei, Pilot……former pilot of Unit 00. I don't know how I'm alive, or why I'm alive……but I am……so I'm going to live…or rather learn to live. The Second and Third Child have been very ….helpful so far. I just wanted to come and say……..to come and say………thank you……..for all that you've done for me. I will visit periodically, the doctor informed me that it is helpful to talk to you while your in this condition, since you've helped me in the past, I will help you in any way that I can.”

 

“Major, I've decided to attend medical school. Fuyutsuki-san thinks it's an excellent idea, he is much nicer than Commander Ikari ever was, when he's talking to me I feel like an equal and not an object. It makes me feel even more like a true human. I believe that becoming a doctor is what I want to do, I want to help the people around me. I'm trying to talk less……monotone as Asuka described it, putting more emotion in my voice is hard because I'm just now learning new emotions, ones that I've never felt before…like happiness…and sadness……and anger……and annoyance, I like being able to…..understand how I feel. My appearance is different now too, well my eye color and skin tone is the same, as is my hair color, but now my hair is much longer, about to mid-shoulder, I like it, it makes me feel……more……free. I hope that you wake up soon”

 

“I'm sure you've heard about Shinji's birthday party, it was…..enjoyable….and different, alcohol makes people do interesting things, things that they would normally not do. Asuka got so inebriated that she kissed me, I was a little surprised, but I was even more surprised because I laughed afterwards…….a lot actually….I guess I had a little too much to drink as well. But it was fun. Wake up soon so that we can all have fun together.”

 

“Shinji told me to call you Misato or Misato-san…I think Misato-san will do for now, I hope you wake up soon so that I can get to know you better as well, and then maybe I will feel comfortable enough to call you Misato. I'm in my third year of medical school now, I've decided to specialize in pediatrics, I find children……funny….I'll come back soon. I'd come back even sooner if you woke up, Shinji, Asuka, and I miss you a great deal. Speaking of Shinji and Asuka, something weird is going on, I think they might have had intercourse, and that might be what is making things at home a bit tense…..I guess we'll find out”

 

“Hello Misato-san……I'm officially Dr. Ayanami Rei now, I actually work here at the hospital, the other day I had to pull 3 UN toy soldiers out of a boys nose, the things kids do are always very funny. I wonder if I will be able to have children…..I know I have the organs for it…….but I've never……attempted. Anyways, we're all doing good, I hardly see anyone though, we all have somewhat different schedules, Shinji's usually gone for a few weeks and then home for a few weeks, Asuka is gone a lot as well, but not usually for longer than a few days, my schedule is pretty consistent 5 days a week, a very 9 to 5 sort of job. I really do like it though. I feel….as if I am lacking something though……..maybe a relationship. Asuka is gone on a mission, so I thought I'd come talk to you about it, I guess I was hoping you would wake up and tell me what the answer to my question was, ……maybe next time”

 

“I……..I slept with Shinji last night………I felt….pleased…..but it's not what I was expecting…..I guess I thought that having sex would make me feel complete, and to some degree it did a little bit, but I can't see myself in a serious relationship with Shinji, he's the closest thing I have to a brother……..that's a bit gross….just to clear things up, our DNA is not the same, the Angel in me outweighs the genes of Shinji's mother, so we're not biologically related at all. I think maybe this incident won't hurt our friendship; it didn't when he and Asuka were….involved. I think it will make our friendship stronger. Please wake up soon Misato-san, I could use some…..motherly advice”

 

“I'm an OBGYN now Misato-san, I liked pediatrics, but I want to be part of bringing a child into the world, it wasn't all that hard to transfer myself, I just had to take a few classes and log some hours in, in the delivery room. I really like the fact that I'm helping to bring the future into this world. I'm 30 years old now Misato-san….I guess we're the same age now. Anyway I'm going on vacation for awhile, I'm traveling around Europe for a few weeks, but I'll be back soon……..I feel…..love for you Misato-san…..your the third person I can say that too, Shinji, Asuka, Fuyutsuki-san, and now you. It's kind of a big step for me, but I know I can trust you with this part of myself. I'll be back soon, I hope you are awake when I get back”
