AN: Sorry if this is late. I've been playing through SMT: Nocturne again, and it's really hard to not get hooked on it. Well, anyway, this is what Kaji heard on Shinji's SDAT. You might find it funny, or not. Gendo...would be horrified. There's one more thing I'd like to mention, though. Below the second note is a preview for my Evangelion x SMT: Nocturne fanfic, coming soon! Anyway, enjoy!

I do not own SMT: Nocturne. It's owned by Atlus.

I do not own Gravitation. It's owned by Maki Murakami. Did I read it? No. Has anyone given me a basic rundown of it? Yes, and it is something I won't be reading for sure.


Fate Is (Not) Unchangeable Extra: Surprise, -insert word here-!


Kaji Ryouji sat there, military uniform and all, listening to the message Shinji left him on his, previously aforementioned boy's, SDAT player. The message began with a quick "Hello, Kaji-san." Kaji paused it, taking in the voice of his lover's former charge. The tape began playing again.

"I know. you're probably surprised by this, and if only Misato could see your face." Shinji stopped speaking momentarily to chuckle. "You see, by the time you're listening to this, I'll probably already be dead. I set it up this way, meaning it's all part of the plan." Shinji stopped speaking again, as if contemplating what he was about to say.

"Well, here goes. Originally, my plans were to just kill my father, plain and simple. Mother, on the other hand, told me about one of my father's greatest weaknesses: any manga where two males are kissing or in love with each other. I suppose this means my father is homophobic in a way, but yes. Mother's plan was to have my bastardly father read a manga called Gravitation."

Kaji paused the tape and sighed. 'I hope he's not trying to prank me with this.' He pressed play and let the tape continue.

"So, my mother and I decided that we would use that as a plan B if plan A didn't work. Plan A...is basically having mother eat father after I try to kill him. Well, anyway, with plan B ready, mother told me of Asuka's hidden stash of Gravitation volumes, which I placed in front of her. She scanned every single volume within 30 minutes, and I hid that secret stash where it originally was. Mother is now currently transmitting every single volume to father as I record this. If he reads them...may his soul rest in peace. Shinji Ikari, out."

Kaji stared at the SDAT player and shivered, knowing Gendo's demise was swift.


Elsewhere, Maya had snuck in Asuka's room and stolen her Gravitation stash. From behind. Asuka appeared and knocked her out. "No one will know of this." Her face was still covered in tears, but her voice was menacing. She duct-taped Maya's mouth, tied her up, and then placed her in her closet, placing the her stash back in it's safe place. "That stupid idiot...now he won't be able to read them with me..." She began to sob, remembering Shinji's death.


Maya was found in Asuka's closet the next day, having lost her sanity.


AN: Well, that was interesting. Anyway, here's the preview I mentioned earlier. If you read it, please review. I'd like your feedback on it. To surprise most of you, no, Shinji is NOT the main character in this upcoming fic, but he will play a major role since everything begins with his change.


Shinji Ikari was tired. He and Asuka had just defeated an Angel known as Israfel, which had split into two bodies after Asuka had initially attacked it. The strenuous battle plan for defeating the Angel had been to have Asuka and Shinji become synchronized via dancing, a successful plan that came from the mind of the truth-seeker, Ryouji Kaji. Now that they had defeated the Angel, all Shinji wanted was to get a good night's sleep, but as fate would have it, he would not.

Shinji Ikari was having an odd dream. He was in a hospital bed wearing nothing but shorts, with an old woman standing over him on his right, most likely in her 60's, wearing all black and a gray veil covering her face. On his left was a little boy with long, blonde hair dressed in a suit. His hands are hidden behind his back, as if he is hiding something.

The old woman speaks to him. "Young man, my litter master has shown an...interest in you." Shinji seemed uncomfortable with what she had said. "Please, do not be afraid, human. He wishes to give you a very...special gift. It is...of the utmost importance that you receive this gift. I suggest you do not move." The little boy moves one of his hands away from his back and into visible sight. In his hand is a insect-like creature, which he drops right above Shinji's heart. The old woman tries to comfort Shinji. "Do not worry, poor human. This will only hurt a bit." Shinji's body sears with pain as the insect digs into his body, crawling its way into his heart. The insect digs directly into his heart, and Shinji feels like he'll die, but abruptly, the pain stops. The old woman pats him on the shoulder. "Congratulations. You now wield a power that rivals those petty machines of yours, and those you call Angels. You are now...a demon." The little boy taps Shinji on the head, and he slowly beings to wake up. As the two fade away from his sight, he hears the little boy speak to him. "I've placed a magatama within you. Magatama is the essence of demonic power, and it now runs through your veins." The old woman gives Shinji some final words before he wakes up. "My master, little as he is, will always be watching you. Please, do not bore him." Everything went white, causing Shinji to wake up.

Shinji jolted right out of bed and rushed over to the bathroom. Looking in the mirror, he noticed something strange. A large black and blue marking adorned his body, starting at his shoulders and reaching all the way down to his toes. Even more odd was the change in his figure. He was no longer scrawny, but was toned, with some signs of muscle in his arms and legs. Shinji decided to try talking, and his voice had become husky, a sign that whatever had happened to him had changed many things physically. Given that he didn't want anyone to see the marks, he quickly took a shower and dressed. His standard uniform didn't cover-up the marks on his arms though, and he decided to wear a long-sleeve, black t-shirt under his standard white, uniform shirt. Noticing that Asuka and Misato were up and having their usual morning squabble over food, and in Misato's case, beer, he walked over to the kitchen where he saw them on the floor, both on one knee, pulling each other's hair over who would be cooking. Shinji sighed and walked over to them, and to their surprise, and his, he wrenched them apart with ease.

Misato was the first to comment on his newfound strength. "My, my Shinji-kun. When did you get so strong? Trying to impress Asuka?"

His reply of, "I hope she's impressed because it felt like I went through three layers of hell trying to get his body", had left both women shivering...in delight. Misato and Asuka were both in shock due to the change in his voice, but it had sounded so sexy to them, and they began to daydream about Shinji serenading them. Shinji, noticing the effect his voice was having on them, which registered in his mind as technique known as Marin Karin.


Well, that's about it for the preview. If you've played SMT: Nocturne, you know it's a mind-type move that inflicts charm on a single enemy, but to be fair, I've changed it, in this scene and for the upcoming fanfic, to make it affect everyone said character WISHES it to affect. Of course, this only works on those of the opposite gender, usually.

Anyway, if you decided to read this far, thanks for reading, and please review :D
