'What If...' Kaji Hadn't Died?
By: Byakko of the West
Author's Notes: Why does it have to keep snowing?! Cries her heart out stupid snow... Anyway! I'd like to thank everyone who's reviewed and will go into more detail at the end. I think this is the longest chapter so far but the next is going to be even longer! Be sure to review some more!
Chapter 7
"I still can't believe you're marrying that slob." Akagi Ritsuko said from behind her cup of tea, facing her college friend, Katsuragi Misato, across the table.
The higher ranked officer laughed. "Don't forget, I'm not any better!"
Ritsuko only nodded, placing her cup on the table. "Which makes the two of you all the better together."
'Yeah, if only I could get his secrets out of him...' Misato thought placing her chin in her hands.
"Why so thoughtful? It's not like you." The blond said, smiling.
The one in question agreed absent-mindedly then, after realizing what her 'friend' said, frowned at her. "Hey! I can be thoughtful when I want to be!"
The doctor's smile turned into a grin. "I didn't say you never thought. It's just, you usually don't." she explained taking the hot cup into her hands again.
The purple-haired woman smiled back. "Yeah, that's your field. You think before acting and I act by my gut instinct. Something we need a bit of each other, ne?"
Ritsuko smiled again, this time sincere. "Got a best-man picked out for Kaji yet?"
Misato nodded over towards where Shinji and Asuka were trying to figure out the new SDAT system the third child had bought the second. "We thought about Gendo or Fuyutski but I doubt they'd even show up if they were the bride and groom."
Ritsuko, to Misato's surprise, laughed, almost to tears. Then she stopped, but still had a smile adorning her lips. "So, who's going to walk you down the aisle?"
Misato frowned again, this time her brows creasing together to show her thoughtfulness. "I'm not sure. I guess I COULD ask Fuyutski, he doesn't mind me as much as Gendo does."
After Ritsuko agreed to this, they placed their cups in the sink, then went to sit in the living room with Asuka and Shinji. A second later, a single knock came from the door before Kaji stumbled in. He had been sent for extra beer, seeing as how they had started running out. Misato had volunteered but Kaji thought it wise for him to go since his fiancée was already pretty drunk. "It's a blizzard out there!" he informed them, brushing the snow off his shoulders.
Asuka came up to him and handed him a towel before opening the door a crack to see outside. But because the winds were so strong, the door was pushed open, swinging the redhead a foot of two away. Shinji was by her side in a shot, helping her sit up while she held her head, Kaji meanwhile closing and locking the door.
"Mein Gott! It's like back home out there!" Asuka exclaimed, standing up with the help of Shinji. Then, everything was silent until, "Shinji! Get your hands off my butt, you hentai!"
TWACK!
Sometime later, after the storm had died down, but was still snowing lightly, Misato, Asuka and Shinji were throwing snowballs at each other while Kaji and Ritsuko talked.
"You're serious, aren't you?" she asked, watching the pilots and their guardian laugh.
Kaji nodded, smiled as Misato got a snowball in the face then started running off after Asuka. "Have you ever known me to not be serious, dear friend?" he joked, leaning back and throwing his arms over the back of the bench.
The blond laughed softly for a second then they sat in silence, lost in the respective thoughts that neither expected a snowball in their faces.
Kaji blinked, the snow falling from his eyes and could see Misato and Asuka laughing at them then high-fived each other. Unlike Ritsuko, who just whipped it off her face and shook her head at them, the ex-spy stood and ran after them.
Asuka ran behind Shinji, laughing all the while as Misato ran away from Kaji.
The newest couple sat down next to the doctor, hand-in-hand.
Ritsuko raised an eyebrow at them, smiling faintly. "What about you two?"
Asuka snarled at her. "What ABOUT us?"
The older woman laughed at her. "When did you two become an item?"
Shinji answered this time, blushing slightly. "When Kaji came back"
The NERV worker nodded while standing up before bending down and taking a pile of snow into her gloved-hands, forming it into a ball. By now, Kaji had caught Misato and pinned her against a tree then they'd began making out, something the partially sober friend didn't want her pilots seeing.
The two abruptly stopped as Kaji got a snowball to the back of his head, smacking his forehead against his partner's. They looked over at their attacker and were surprised to see Ritsuko smiling.
"Sorry, guys! I have to get going! There's still work tomorrow!"
"Bye!" Kaji and Misato chorused, still in the other's arms.
Dr. Akagi turned to Asuka and Shinji. "You guys don't have to come in tomorrow but I'll be expecting you the next day, alright?" she asked while swinging her purse over he shoulder.
They nodded and said their good-byes to her.
"Think we should let them be?" Ikari asked his girlfriend, looking over at Misato and Kaji who had started kissing again.
Asuka nodded, standing up and brushing the snow off her butt from sitting on the bench. "Yeah, might as well." She turned to Shinji and held her hand out. "Coming?"
The boy smiled and nodded in return, taking her hand in his.
Meanwhile, Misato extracted her toung from her lover's mouth and smiled as she watched the EVA pilots walk off.
"Do you want to go home?" Kaji asked, nuzzling her neck.
She giggled softly at his touch. "No, we'll let them be for a little while."
He raised his head and lifted an eyebrow at her. "You think they'll..." he trailed off, wiggling his brows.
She whacked him on the head lightly, trying to look disappointed but failing miserably by smirking at him. "I think Shinji's habits are rubbing off on you."
He grinned. "Maybe."
Woot! Woot! Longest chapter so far...I think. But you got to make sure not to miss the next chapter, it's going to be great and I'm sure all Kaji/Misato fans will love it. There's only going t be a few more chapters after this, maybe two or three. One of them is going to have lots of Shinji/Asuka fluff in it so be sure to check it out!
Thanks to:
-Dark-Titan: I don't give myself enough credit? But I'm nothing compared to some of the writer's I've read about.
-Priest: Thanks for the support!
-Knight's Shadow: Woo! You just keep on coming back for more reviews, don't 'cha? Not that I'm complaining of course! Please review some more.
-kawai: I love my story too=D
-tinny: So, how can I make it perfect, ne?
-WannaKnownLee: O.o I can't believe I totally forgot about PenPen! T.T I'm a disgraced to my PPFC membership (PenPenFanClub)! I thought of the idea for THE EVA SHOW after seeing Gundam SD because, technically, the little robots are supposed to be like them.
-dude: Woo! Hoo!
R&R PLZ!
