Ikari Shinji, 5 years old, walked hand in hand with his mother through the halls of what would later be called NERV. Yui Ikari smilled down at her son who was skipping merrily next to her.
He is so full of life Yui thought happily.
This is why we must do this, so he can continue to spread the joy his life brings.
As they reach the observation room, Yui leads her son up to the giant glass viewing window.
"Now you just sit here and watch mommy okay?" Yui asked her son with a warm smile on her face
"Okay mommy!" The little child jumped up and gave her a big hug before falling back to his feet. He smiled as Yui went to get changed.
"So how's my little Shin-kun?"
"Daddy!" Shinji Ikari ran up to his father and gave him a similar hug to the one he had just given his mother. Gendou Ikari smiled down at his little boy.
I hope that nothing goes wrong today. I couldn't stand to see that smile disappear. Gendou momentarily let some worry show on his face as he thought of his son being sad.
"Are you ready Yui?" The technician said over the loud speaker.
"Hai." Was the reply from the women who was now hooked up to the many instruments.
"Daddy?"
"Yes Shinji?"
"What's that yellow stuff?"
"It's LCL."
"But how can mommy breath in it?"
"It contains high oxygen contents and is able to separate the oxygen into the lungs when ingested."
"Oh. . ." The young boy had a bewildered look on his face. He had no idea what his father has just said. You could almost see his brain cells over working themselves in order to grasp these concepts.
"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5. . ."
"Approaching critical point."
"4, 3, 2, 1. . ."
"A10 nerve connections established! Synch ratio at 50% and rising. . ."
"65%, 80%, _100%_!"
"Wait! It's still rising!"
"Daddy?! Why are people yelling?!"
"200%, 280%, 400%, APPROACHING EGO BOARDER LINE!"
"600%! EGO BORDER LINE PASSED!"
*SLAM!*
Gendo Ikari's fist impacted the glass. If it weren't partially made out of steel, the glass would have shattered. Instead it was Gendo's hand that shattered. When Shinji saw the bloody mess that was his fathers hand, he started to cry. When Shinji saw that his mother was no longer in the other room with the machines, he screamed. Shinji's scream was the most terrifying and disturbing thing you could possibly think of. It was like a dying angel/demon. Shinji rushed up to the glass next to where his father was and thrust his open palms and fingers against the glass. With his hand pressed up to the steel/glass mixture, he screamed out. . .
"LET MY MOMMY GO!"
With that scream, the steel/glass that the strongest hurricane would not dent, was shattered. Shinji fell forward into the room as the LCL leaked out. He stumbled until he was balled up in the chair where his mother had been, crying hysterically while clutching her plug suit.
"Mommy!"
"Mommy!"
Gendo stared at his son with a look of awe.
Did that glass break simply because he wanted it to?"
+I Must take your mother, little one. It has been decided already. But for you, I will bring her back for a moment. She has something important to say to your father.
To daddy?
Suddenly the plug suit filled out, until the young and beautiful form of Yui Ikari was once again sitting in the chair. Shinji's arms were wrapped around her waist in a desperate hug. Yui Ikari looked down on Shinji for the last time, at least for a long time anyway. She moved her hand through his hair and ruffled it. Shinji looked up at his mother with tears in his eyes, and smiled.
"Mommy!"
"Wait a moment Shin-kun." Yui's soothing voice held Shinji at bay for a moment while she turned to Gendou.
"Gendou, there is something I must tell you."
Gendou moved closer to his wife and wrapped her in an embrace.
"What is it dear?" He whispered in her ear.
"I want to come back, afterwards. I want to see Shinji again. I no longer want to be the one to live forever. Shinji needs me. But right now he needs you most of all. Don't return to your old self. Don't push him away. Don't be afraid."
Yui smiled as Gendou said, "I will, I promise."
Gendou grudgingly let his wife go.
"Goodbye now my Shin-kun, be good for your daddy. He's gonna' need your help. Do you think you can help daddy?"
"I'll try." Said Shinji with the always-willing-to-please look on his face.
"Good, I knew you would. Mommy has to go now. Bye Bye."
With that, Yui Ikari once again disappeared.
Will I ever see her again. Shinji wanted to see if the voice that had talked to him before was still there.
+Yes Shinji, if you are successful you will.
After this, the voice was silent, and little Shinji Ikari ran to the last person he had left, his father. They embraced and Gendou kissed his son's forehead.
"Lets go home now daddy."
"Alright Shinji."
Gendou Ikari left the room, carrying Shinji on his back. Because Shinji was a 5 year old, he didn't doubt anything. So when the voice said he would see his momma again, he believed it. So as he and his father walked through the halls of Gehirn, Shinji smiled and said, "I hope mommy comes back soon!"
Gendou chuckled at his son's optimism. Luckily for Gendou, his son's emotions were contagious. He couldn't help but be optimistic with his son.

January 25, 2010
"Hi hi! My name is Ikari Shinji! What's _your_ name?"
"Ayanami Rei. It's nice to meet you."
"It's nice to meet you too! You can call me Shinji."
"You can call me Rei."
"Okay Rei! Daddy said you're gonna' be living with us."
"Yes, I am."
"Then I'll show you the open room. It's not being used, so it's probably your room! Follow me!"
"Hai!"
The little boy with brown hair and deep blue eyes, known as Shinji Ikari, led the little girl with crimson eyes and azure hair, known as Rei Ayanami, into the guest room.
"I guess this is gonna' be your room. It's right across the hall from mine. So if you need anything, just knock on my door!"
"Thank you, I will."
"Well once your unpacked you can come and play with me before I start my cooking lessons! Would you like that?"
"Hai!"
"Ok, bye bye!"
With that, the little girl was left alone in her new room. She stared around the brightly lit, white room. It wasn't a desolate white, devoid of light and energy, but a fresh and clean white. It was the kind of white that symbolizes a new beginning. It was a little more than ironic that this color would be chosen for the tool of humanity's new beginning.
As the little girl looked around the room, she began to notice the furniture. It seemed as though the room had been decorated by a professional. The color of the blanket was white, while the color of the mattress was sky blue. The pillows were of a light shade of red, while the carpet was a similar shade of white to the walls. There was a white desk with pastille blue colored utensil sets. The desk lap was a similar shad to the pillows, as was the chair. It seemed as though this room had been designed with her in mind. A big smile slowly drifted onto the girls face as she looked around at her _very_ kawai new room.
"So you like it?!"
Rei swung around to face the same little boy as before.
"Yes, I think it's very kawai."
"Daddy said I could pick all the things out. He gave me your picture and I thought that these colors would be good for you!" Shinji wore a huge smile as his work was appreciated.
A shy smile crawled across Rei's face. "Thank you."
Shinji giggled at Rei's smile and asked, "are you ready to play yet?"
Rei took one last glance at the room she would be living in for the next few years. It was the room she would call home. For her part, Rei liked this idea _very_ much!
"Hai!"
The door to the pastel themed room was shut as the two 10 year old children ran into the other room to play.
- - - - - - - - April 15 2014
*fwosh*
Someone fell into the bed, laying right next to Shinji.
"Couldn't sleep again?" The boy asked the girl now staring at his eyes.
"Hai. It just feels better sleeping in here."
"Okay, but you have to wake up early then. You know how my dad gets when you sleep in here."
"Hai."
"Okay, you can stay then. I wonder why he always gets angry when we sleep together. It's not like we do anything."
"Hai. And even if we were to, 'do something,' we are not related."
The boy blushed furiously, "Umm. . . Rei. I think he'd be more worried about you becoming pregnant."
"Shinji, I cannot become pregnant, there was an accident. . ."
"hmm. . .? You mean you really can't bear children?" There was a sympathetic look on his face as he stared into the beautiful young girls eyes.
I cannot tell him the truth. Rei sighs inwardly as he looks at her with sadness in his eyes.
"I'm sorry. . ." Shinji says as he wraps Rei in an embrace. No hentai thoughts even came to mind as he comforted the girl. Of course it was warm and comfortable in her embrace, but that's all he thought about, warmth and comfort. So with his spirit emanating these feelings he held the girl and and drifted off to sleep. Soon after, the girl followed suit and drifted into a dreamless sleep.
- - - - - - - - December 10, 2015
A young boy with deep brown hair and deep blue eyes was advancing down the sidewalk. Well, advancing is quite a good enough descriptive. This boy, Shinji Ikari, was just barely skipping. Happiness and warmth radiated from this boy in the strongest manner imaginable. Everyone around him seemed to smile just as he passed. The boy, however, was not aware of this. He was too preoccupied with the task at hand. He was going to pick out Christmas presents. Now one would ask, why is he so happy to spend HIS hard-earned money on other people? Well the answer is fairly simple. Shinji, being one of the last TRULY good people on the planet, found more joy in giving than receiving. So as Shinji was skipping down the streets, skipping for he could not restrain himself anymore, lost in his calculations of how most effectively to please the recipients of his gifts, he failed to notice another preoccupied teen in his path.
*thump*
"oooph!"
"G-gomen!"
"GOMEN?! What kind of baka are you? Hhhhmmm?! Bumpin' into people on the streets! I was just mindin' my own. . ."
"I'm sorry, but I must go now. I apologize for any problems I have caused you. Sayo. . ."
The girl suddenly grabs the back of Shinji's shirt as he is about to leave. She abruptly spins him around and smacks him across the face.
*CRACK!*
For a moment, Shinji just stares at this girl. She has what looks to be naturally bright red hair, bright blue eyes, and a VERY good figure. Of course being Shinji, her figure only keeps his attention for a bit. After all, he frequently sleeps in the same bed as a girl who is equally, if not more, beautiful. After Shinji has taken in her whole appearance, an angry frown starts to appear on his face.
"Now what'd you have to do that for?" Shinji doesn't really yell, but speaks angrily.
"YOU'RE the BAKA who bumped into me!"
"I said I was sorry. When someone says they are sorry, you're supposed to accept the apology and move on. Now if you'll excuse me, I've had quite enough of this argument, goodbye."
The red-haired girl watches as the boy continues on his way. After about a minute, the girl realizes that her mouth is hanging down. You could almost hear the click as her teeth re-connect. The girl thinks of the boys face and ingrains it into her memory.
The next time I see him. . . The girl thinks in anger. - - - - - - - - - -
Shinji takes a moment to commit the department store's layout to memory before heading to his first destination. The first place Shinji visits is the section where sunglasses are kept. Now, luckily for Shinji, since second impact winter has been more like summer, so the selection is still fairly good. Shinji picks out a nice, stylishly thin pair of oval specs.
hhmm... not too expensive, it should be good.
having taken care of his father's gift, Shinji decides to focus on the other most important person in his life. Shinji's next stop is Jewelry.
- - - - - - - - -
In another section of the department store, the same girl who had earlier slapped Shinji across the face, was picking out presents. This was the first time that Asuka Langely Sohryu had picked out Christmas presents. She had never had anyone to give them to before. This year, however, she would be moving in with her commanding officer and his family. She had heard that he had a son and an adopted daughter. She just hoped that his son would be like Kaji. Maybe she would have something in common with his daughter? Well, the son couldn't be like Kaji. The present that she was buying confirmed that. She had heard that the guy liked to cook, so Asuka was buying him a cooking set. It contained some utensils, pans, pots, and a book with instructions. She had heard the adopted daughter was very into foreign languages, so she had bought a book entitled, "??: For fluent leaders, looking to expand their historical language knowledge." What a lengthy title, but is sounded about right for the circumstances. For the father, she had bought sunglasses of course. She had heard that he almost never took them off, she wondered why. . .
- - - - - - - - -
As Shinji approached the jewelry section he pondered what to get Rei. He already knew the colors he would be getting, he just wasn't sure what type of accessory he would get. He had pretty much ruled out a ring, since that implied things he wasn't ready to imply. Definitely not earrings. Rei couldn't pierce her ears because the LCL in the plug would close them up. Sometimes Shinji couldn't stand watching Rei go out in that monster and fight the angels. Sometimes he wished he go pilot for her, protect her. Shinji had never asked his father, because a part of him really didn't want to pilot. And until that part was quiet, Shinji didn't know if he could ever pilot. After some deliberations, Shinji picked out a rather expensive white gold necklace. The pendant was shaped like the Korean characters for lovely voice, "??" written on 2 eighth notes. It was delicate and beautiful, just like the girl it was for. Shinji sighed at this thought. After he was finished thinking about how beautiful Rei would look in the necklace, he purchased it and went off to buy the final gift of the day. He had never met the girl he was buying it for, but he had heard a bit about her. His father had said that she liked red. He also said that she liked video games. So Shinji bought her 2 gifts. One of the gifts was a silver bracelet with a single red gem on it. It wasn't very expensive, but it still looked nice. That would be her welcome present. Shinji decided to get her the new Nintendo system and two games. One game was a girly adventure game, and one was a fighting game. Shinji didn't know what type she went for, so he thought that both extremes would work. Shinji walked out of the store, a large smile plastered on his face.

December 24, 2015
Miraculously, the date selected for the move was Christmas Eve. Though Asuka was not religious, she still enjoyed this holiday. She'd never had to go to church in her life, yet she still received gifts. Asuka enjoyed gifts, she enjoyed them _very_ much. If there was anyone out there more materialistic than Asuka, well, that's _way_ too scary to think of. So as the red haired girl burst into the roomy upscale apartment she wore a giant smile.
"I'm here!" She yelled as she stepped into the apartment.
Immediately a boy, slightly shorter than herself, with brown hair, and deep blue eyes, came running to greet her.
"Hello, my name is. . ." Shinji stopped what he was about to say when he saw the same red-headed girl from 5 days earlier.
"HEY! YOU'RE THE BAKA THAT RAN INTO ME!"
"Nice to see you again too."
"I must be in the wrong apartment," Asuka said frantically, "I'll be going now."
"Wait! I don't think you're in the wrong apartment. Is you're name Asuka Langely Sohryu?"
"Yes, how'd you know my name? Are you some hentai stalker or something?"
"No, but they told me your name when they told me of our new roommate."
"Wait. . . you can't be. . . Shinji Ikari?!"
"Yup, that's me, my father and Rei should be back in a moment. Rei had some sync tests."
"That's right, she's a pilot isn't she?"
"Yeah. . . Though I wish she wasn't. It hurts every time I see an angel hurt her Eva. I know that she feels the pain herself, as if _she_ was struck."
"So you got a thing for her?"
"What?"
"You heard me, you got a thing for the first child?"
"N. . no!"
"Don't give me that BS, you probably fantasize about her every night. That's fine with me as long as you don't have any fantasies about me."
"Oh be quiet Sohryu!"
"Heh. Well you better have gotten me some nice presents."
"Don't worry." Shinji produced a small velvet box, slightly larger than one that might contain a ring. "Here's your welcome present." Shinji held the box out to Asuka, who quickly grabbed the box from his hand.
"It better be good." Asuka said this as she slowly lifted the lid. She gasped at the beautiful bracelet as she extracted it from the box. "Y. . . you bought this for me?"
"Hai"
Asuka took the bracelet and put it on her right wrist. For a moment she had a beautiful smile on her face. Shinji thought she looked best with a smile. He was totally unaware of the fact that he was intently staring at her beautiful complexion. As Asuka came back to reality, she noticed Shinji staring at her with a smile. "Hey, don't think this doesn't mean a free ride baka." It wasn't quite as venomous as her earlier statements of Shinji's idiocy, but it was just as sincere.
"That's not what I was think at all." Said Shinji with the warm smile still on his face, he turned and left for the kitchen to finish Christmas dinner.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Rei, could I talk to you" Gendou Ikari was looking at Rei with a look of trepidation, fear, and anxiety. A similar look seems to grace the face of every parent before broaching this subject. But for Gendou, it was a _much_ more intense and strange conversation.
"Hai!" The blue haired girl sitting next to him in the train car looked up at him with a smile. Gendou found himself recognizing just how valid his son's opinions of the girl were.
"Do you. . . intend to. . ."
"Have intercourse with your son?"
"Hai. Though I would hope not soon."
"Do not worry Mr. Ikari, I will not have intercourse with your son for a while. Though it is still an imminent goal in my mind, your son seems to be a bit hesitant."
"As I would expect. He is an honest, caring, and responsible young man, his mother would be proud. Speaking of his mother, did I ever tell you whose DNA was used to synthesize yours?"
"Hai. But there is not enough of his mother's DNA in me to constitute incest."
"I guess you're right, I am worrying over nothing."
"Hai, and anyways, what we need to worry about is our new roommate."
"You're right as always. This is our stop. . ."
- - - - - - - - - - - -
As the blue haired girl and the man walked into their apartment they noticed something out of place, a beautiful red-haired girl sitting on their couch.
"Ugh. Did Shinji bring home another one?" Gendou joked as he saw the red- head. Though Shinji received invitations, he always turned them down. Gendou knew that he was saving all of himself for the beautiful blue-haired girl standing next to Gendou in the doorway.
"That baka? Bring home girls? I think he'd have to slip 'em something to even get one to talk to him."
"Actually, Shinji seems to be quite popular." Said Rei in a rather sad, downtrodden, and yet thoughtful tone.
"Aww. . . Does the first have a think for the maid?"
Shinji picked just that moment to come out of the kitchen in a babushka and an apron, looking very much like a maid.
His appearance and impeccable timing, instigated chuckles from Rei and Gendou, and an all out laugh-fest from the red-head. Once everyone had calmed down, Shinji looked around in a bewildered manner and said, "What's so funny?" This created a flurry of laughter that wouldn't stop for the next 20 minutes.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
After the laughter had finally died down Shinji re-appeared out of the kitchen. However, this time he was a bit more intelligent and had already removed his cooking clothes.
"Dinner's ready!"
"Hai"
"mmmmm.."
"FINALLY! I'M STARVING!"
Asuka nearly trampled over Gendou and Rei in an effort to get to the food that Shinji had just prepared.
"What is it?! What is it?!" Asuka said in quick succession while hopping up and down like a 5 year old.
Shinji chuckled and said, "Well, since your used to European food. I decided to make duck with mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, biscuits, and honey."
Asuka had a ravenous look in her eyes as she sat down in the chair Shinji pulled out for her. Not waiting for everyone else to sit down, Asuka took a little bit of everything. . . okay maybe A LOT of everything, and started eating. Shinji, though he felt this was wrong, said nothing. Shinji figured that she was the guest and he would let her do what she wants. Rei, Gendou, and Shinji all sat down, then bowed and began to eat.
- - - -- - - - - -
Dinner was finished and everyone was feeling rather fulfilled and jolly. Warmth was the pervading feeling of the evening. Presents were to be opened at night because Asuka needed to go for sync tests in the morning. Thankfully, Rei was given a long-deserved and needed rest. Shinji had received the aforementioned cooking set and some tapes for his SDAT from his father. Rei had yet to give him her present, but he suspected it would be a good one. Gendou had received 2 pairs of sunglasses and a copy of his favorite move which had just come out on the 2015 form of video recording. Gendou was very happy with his gifts, and did not feel offended by the receiving of multiple sunglasses. Asuka was ecstatic. Asuka was already happy about the bracelet, but when she unwrapped the Nintendo system and the fighting game, well, this guy might not be that bad after all. She was less than happy about the inclusion of the girly game, but she would let it slide. She had received a yellow sundress from Rei, and a bottle of Sake from the Commander. He knew that she was already drinking, he just hoped she didn't get too smashed. She was wild enough sober, when she was drunk Gendou had doubts about the level appropriateness her actions might take on. The Sake was passed around between the four occupants of the apartment, most of the bottle disappearing as it was in the possession of Gendou and Asuka. Rei and Shinji were really only drinking to be polite, but it still had an effect on them. All of the occupant's prior feelings of joy and fulfillment were increased ten-fold. Finally, Asuka and Gendo seemed to pass out on the opposite couches respectively. Shinji and Rei looked at each other with a knowing smile and a wink. They got up out of the chair in which Shinji had been sitting, Rei had been on his lap. Gendou might have protested this seating arrangement, but he was _much_ too drunk to notice. Rei went into Asuka's new room and came out with her blanket. Shinji did the same for Gendou. Next, they both draped the blankets over their respective owners. Chuckling to themselves they retreated down the hall towards their rooms.
"I still haven't given you _my_ present Rei."
"Nor have I given you mine."
"Well should we exchange?" Shinji said with a warm smile.
"Hai, your room or my room?"
"Mine."
"Hai."
Rei went to her room and got ready for bed, slipping inter her pajamas which consisted of baggy cotton pants and a fluffy cotton shirt, both a pastille shade of blue. Shinji had already changed into his customary Boxers and a tank-top. Rei brought a bottle wrapped in shiny golden paper as she opened the door to Shinji's room. Shinji brought out the box where the necklace was contained. She small box was wrapped in a surreal pattern of sky blues and pastille pinks. As Rei entered the room Shinji couldn't help but think how kawai she was. The baggyness of her clothes seemed to contrast her elegant face perfectly.
"You know, you look extremely kawai in that outfit." Shinji said with a dumb smile on his face.
"Thank you." Rei said as she carried the bottle to the bed.
"So do you wanna' go first, or should I?"
"Why don't you."
"Okay."
Shinji began unwrapping the bottle and saw expensive champagne behind it.
"Wow Rei! This must have cost a fortune!"
"It was not too much." Rei blushed a light shade of pink, Shinji found this looked failry attractive.
"Close your eyes." Shinji commanded in a soft voice.
Rei, trusting Shinji completely, closed her eyes and waited patiently. Shinji slowly opened the case and positioned it in front of Rei's face.
"You can open them now." Rei slowly opened her eyes. . .
"It. . . It's beautiful!" Shinji smiled a huge silly grin as Rei positively appraised his choice of necklace.
"Could you put it on?" Rei asked shyly. Shinji nodded an affirmative and watched as Rei turned her back to him. Shinji could see the back of her slender neck. Rei's skin seemed to glow in the moonlight. Shinji slowly slid the delicate chain-linked necklace around her neck. His hands brushed against her porcelain-like skin. At this touch they both shivered. It was such a warm and soft feeling, but at the same time it was like electricity. He felt energized, like he could take on the world! But he instead used this energy to carefully do the clasp at the back of the necklace. Shinji let the necklace fall naturally. The delicate necklace worked incredibly well with her delicate and beautiful face. As she turned to him in the moonlight, Shinji see her beautiful features lit up like an angel, a true angel, the kind of angel that was drawn in chapels. Or maybe she looked like a beautiful and graceful fairy from a book of the creatures of wikka. Whatever the correct comparison was, there was no denying the delicate beauty of the quiet girl in front of him. Rei gave him a warm a soft smile. She stared at Shinji for what seemed like eternity to the two teens, Shinji lost in her red eyes, Rei lost in Shinji's deep blue pools. Finally Shinji broke the silence with one whispered word. . .
"Beautiful."
Shinji then caught himself by surprise and did something he'd wanted to do for 5 years, he kissed her. The kiss was not a peck, and not a "French." It was more like the touching of two soft rose petals as the lay on the ground. The kiss was not broken by either for a good 5 minutes. Finally Shinji drew back to see the beautiful face of the female he had known since he was 10. Shinji smiled again and drew him into another long and delicate kiss. His arms folded across her back, caressing it gently up and down. Her arms were draped over his shoulders as they fell to the bed. Laying side by side they did not break the kiss. They lay in the bed in a warm embrace, feeling incredible warmth and happiness at the touch of their lips. They kissed for another good 10 minutes, their lips dancing over each other like drifting Sakura blossoms that kept insisting on bumping into one another. Each touch was soft and delicate, bringing feelings of warmth and pleasure never before known to either of the pair. They stayed like that all night, in that embrace. They weren't quite ready for anything beyond that. Neither of them really cared when of if _that_ happened. Both were simply content with the feeling of acceptance and love. The rest could happen when they got older.

Hey all!
Liquid Silver here. I know you might be pissed if you like my other series, but I have to apologize and explain my lack of work on that one. You see, "In Otherwords. . ." was never really a serious story. It was more something that I though up at 1 am when my friend was staying over. We were talking about what Shinji would be like if this and if that. You see my friends hates Shinji and thinks he is a total pussy. While I disagree COMPLETELY. See I respect Shinji for taking all the shit that's thrown at him and NOT killing someone. I like to believe that I have a lot of patience, but if Asuka pestered me all day long like that, I think I'd snap. What my friend can't seem to understand is how Shinji is SOOOO incredible for one simple reason. HE SAVED HUMANITY!!!!!!! If I were Shinji, I probably would have said, "Screw you guys, I'm just gonna' be in this world with a naked Rei partly melted into my body." He went through SO much shit, and yet he still chose to go back, because he knew that people couldn't be happy in the world of nothingness. He came back for others, not himself. That's what makes Shinji the shit. Well that's enough for my short little Shinji rant. But n e ways, I completely lost my interest in that story. I think this one is much more believable, and it stills shows how much power Shinji has. Yes I know some of you will be pissed that Gendou is actually acting somewhat like a normal person, but seriously, I think he is normal. Gendou just did what Shinji stopped himself from doing in the end, he wasn't strong enough not to run, and so he did. In this story, Yui gives him the strength to stay and try to connect with his son. And since Shinj's his son, that's pretty easy. Yes, I think that Shinji would still learn to cook, I'll explain that later though. Oh yeah, PLEASE R&R!

Ikari Shinji, 5 years old, walked hand in hand with his mother through the halls of what would later be called NERV. Yui Ikari smilled down at her son who was skipping merrily next to her.
He is so full of life Yui thought happily.
This is why we must do this, so he can continue to spread the joy his life brings.
As they reach the observation room, Yui leads her son up to the giant glass viewing window.
"Now you just sit here and watch mommy okay?" Yui asked her son with a warm smile on her face
"Okay mommy!" The little child jumped up and gave her a big hug before falling back to his feet. He smiled as Yui went to get changed.
"So how's my little Shin-kun?"
"Daddy!" Shinji Ikari ran up to his father and gave him a similar hug to the one he had just given his mother. Gendou Ikari smiled down at his little boy.
I hope that nothing goes wrong today. I couldn't stand to see that smile disappear. Gendou momentarily let some worry show on his face as he thought of his son being sad.
"Are you ready Yui?" The technician said over the loud speaker.
"Hai." Was the reply from the women who was now hooked up to the many instruments.
"Daddy?"
"Yes Shinji?"
"What's that yellow stuff?"
"It's LCL."
"But how can mommy breath in it?"
"It contains high oxygen contents and is able to separate the oxygen into the lungs when ingested."
"Oh. . ." The young boy had a bewildered look on his face. He had no idea what his father has just said. You could almost see his brain cells over working themselves in order to grasp these concepts.
"10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5. . ."
"Approaching critical point."
"4, 3, 2, 1. . ."
"A10 nerve connections established! Synch ratio at 50% and rising. . ."
"65%, 80%, _100%_!"
"Wait! It's still rising!"
"Daddy?! Why are people yelling?!"
"200%, 280%, 400%, APPROACHING EGO BOARDER LINE!"
"600%! EGO BORDER LINE PASSED!"
*SLAM!*
Gendo Ikari's fist impacted the glass. If it weren't partially made out of steel, the glass would have shattered. Instead it was Gendo's hand that shattered. When Shinji saw the bloody mess that was his fathers hand, he started to cry. When Shinji saw that his mother was no longer in the other room with the machines, he screamed. Shinji's scream was the most terrifying and disturbing thing you could possibly think of. It was like a dying angel/demon. Shinji rushed up to the glass next to where his father was and thrust his open palms and fingers against the glass. With his hand pressed up to the steel/glass mixture, he screamed out. . .
"LET MY MOMMY GO!"
With that scream, the steel/glass that the strongest hurricane would not dent, was shattered. Shinji fell forward into the room as the LCL leaked out. He stumbled until he was balled up in the chair where his mother had been, crying hysterically while clutching her plug suit.
"Mommy!"
"Mommy!"
Gendo stared at his son with a look of awe.
Did that glass break simply because he wanted it to?"
+I Must take your mother, little one. It has been decided already. But for you, I will bring her back for a moment. She has something important to say to your father.
To daddy?
Suddenly the plug suit filled out, until the young and beautiful form of Yui Ikari was once again sitting in the chair. Shinji's arms were wrapped around her waist in a desperate hug. Yui Ikari looked down on Shinji for the last time, at least for a long time anyway. She moved her hand through his hair and ruffled it. Shinji looked up at his mother with tears in his eyes, and smiled.
"Mommy!"
"Wait a moment Shin-kun." Yui's soothing voice held Shinji at bay for a moment while she turned to Gendou.
"Gendou, there is something I must tell you."
Gendou moved closer to his wife and wrapped her in an embrace.
"What is it dear?" He whispered in her ear.
"I want to come back, afterwards. I want to see Shinji again. I no longer want to be the one to live forever. Shinji needs me. But right now he needs you most of all. Don't return to your old self. Don't push him away. Don't be afraid."
Yui smiled as Gendou said, "I will, I promise."
Gendou grudgingly let his wife go.
"Goodbye now my Shin-kun, be good for your daddy. He's gonna' need your help. Do you think you can help daddy?"
"I'll try." Said Shinji with the always-willing-to-please look on his face.
"Good, I knew you would. Mommy has to go now. Bye Bye."
With that, Yui Ikari once again disappeared.
Will I ever see her again. Shinji wanted to see if the voice that had talked to him before was still there.
+Yes Shinji, if you are successful you will.
After this, the voice was silent, and little Shinji Ikari ran to the last person he had left, his father. They embraced and Gendou kissed his son's forehead.
"Lets go home now daddy."
"Alright Shinji."
Gendou Ikari left the room, carrying Shinji on his back. Because Shinji was a 5 year old, he didn't doubt anything. So when the voice said he would see his momma again, he believed it. So as he and his father walked through the halls of Gehirn, Shinji smiled and said, "I hope mommy comes back soon!"
Gendou chuckled at his son's optimism. Luckily for Gendou, his son's emotions were contagious. He couldn't help but be optimistic with his son.

January 25, 2010
"Hi hi! My name is Ikari Shinji! What's _your_ name?"
"Ayanami Rei. It's nice to meet you."
"It's nice to meet you too! You can call me Shinji."
"You can call me Rei."
"Okay Rei! Daddy said you're gonna' be living with us."
"Yes, I am."
"Then I'll show you the open room. It's not being used, so it's probably your room! Follow me!"
"Hai!"
The little boy with brown hair and deep blue eyes, known as Shinji Ikari, led the little girl with crimson eyes and azure hair, known as Rei Ayanami, into the guest room.
"I guess this is gonna' be your room. It's right across the hall from mine. So if you need anything, just knock on my door!"
"Thank you, I will."
"Well once your unpacked you can come and play with me before I start my cooking lessons! Would you like that?"
"Hai!"
"Ok, bye bye!"
With that, the little girl was left alone in her new room. She stared around the brightly lit, white room. It wasn't a desolate white, devoid of light and energy, but a fresh and clean white. It was the kind of white that symbolizes a new beginning. It was a little more than ironic that this color would be chosen for the tool of humanity's new beginning.
As the little girl looked around the room, she began to notice the furniture. It seemed as though the room had been decorated by a professional. The color of the blanket was white, while the color of the mattress was sky blue. The pillows were of a light shade of red, while the carpet was a similar shade of white to the walls. There was a white desk with pastille blue colored utensil sets. The desk lap was a similar shad to the pillows, as was the chair. It seemed as though this room had been designed with her in mind. A big smile slowly drifted onto the girls face as she looked around at her _very_ kawai new room.
"So you like it?!"
Rei swung around to face the same little boy as before.
"Yes, I think it's very kawai."
"Daddy said I could pick all the things out. He gave me your picture and I thought that these colors would be good for you!" Shinji wore a huge smile as his work was appreciated.
A shy smile crawled across Rei's face. "Thank you."
Shinji giggled at Rei's smile and asked, "are you ready to play yet?"
Rei took one last glance at the room she would be living in for the next few years. It was the room she would call home. For her part, Rei liked this idea _very_ much!
"Hai!"
The door to the pastel themed room was shut as the two 10 year old children ran into the other room to play.
- - - - - - - - April 15 2014
*fwosh*
Someone fell into the bed, laying right next to Shinji.
"Couldn't sleep again?" The boy asked the girl now staring at his eyes.
"Hai. It just feels better sleeping in here."
"Okay, but you have to wake up early then. You know how my dad gets when you sleep in here."
"Hai."
"Okay, you can stay then. I wonder why he always gets angry when we sleep together. It's not like we do anything."
"Hai. And even if we were to, 'do something,' we are not related."
The boy blushed furiously, "Umm. . . Rei. I think he'd be more worried about you becoming pregnant."
"Shinji, I cannot become pregnant, there was an accident. . ."
"hmm. . .? You mean you really can't bear children?" There was a sympathetic look on his face as he stared into the beautiful young girls eyes.
I cannot tell him the truth. Rei sighs inwardly as he looks at her with sadness in his eyes.
"I'm sorry. . ." Shinji says as he wraps Rei in an embrace. No hentai thoughts even came to mind as he comforted the girl. Of course it was warm and comfortable in her embrace, but that's all he thought about, warmth and comfort. So with his spirit emanating these feelings he held the girl and and drifted off to sleep. Soon after, the girl followed suit and drifted into a dreamless sleep.
- - - - - - - - December 10, 2015
A young boy with deep brown hair and deep blue eyes was advancing down the sidewalk. Well, advancing is quite a good enough descriptive. This boy, Shinji Ikari, was just barely skipping. Happiness and warmth radiated from this boy in the strongest manner imaginable. Everyone around him seemed to smile just as he passed. The boy, however, was not aware of this. He was too preoccupied with the task at hand. He was going to pick out Christmas presents. Now one would ask, why is he so happy to spend HIS hard-earned money on other people? Well the answer is fairly simple. Shinji, being one of the last TRULY good people on the planet, found more joy in giving than receiving. So as Shinji was skipping down the streets, skipping for he could not restrain himself anymore, lost in his calculations of how most effectively to please the recipients of his gifts, he failed to notice another preoccupied teen in his path.
*thump*
"oooph!"
"G-gomen!"
"GOMEN?! What kind of baka are you? Hhhhmmm?! Bumpin' into people on the streets! I was just mindin' my own. . ."
"I'm sorry, but I must go now. I apologize for any problems I have caused you. Sayo. . ."
The girl suddenly grabs the back of Shinji's shirt as he is about to leave. She abruptly spins him around and smacks him across the face.
*CRACK!*
For a moment, Shinji just stares at this girl. She has what looks to be naturally bright red hair, bright blue eyes, and a VERY good figure. Of course being Shinji, her figure only keeps his attention for a bit. After all, he frequently sleeps in the same bed as a girl who is equally, if not more, beautiful. After Shinji has taken in her whole appearance, an angry frown starts to appear on his face.
"Now what'd you have to do that for?" Shinji doesn't really yell, but speaks angrily.
"YOU'RE the BAKA who bumped into me!"
"I said I was sorry. When someone says they are sorry, you're supposed to accept the apology and move on. Now if you'll excuse me, I've had quite enough of this argument, goodbye."
The red-haired girl watches as the boy continues on his way. After about a minute, the girl realizes that her mouth is hanging down. You could almost hear the click as her teeth re-connect. The girl thinks of the boys face and ingrains it into her memory.
The next time I see him. . . The girl thinks in anger. - - - - - - - - - -
Shinji takes a moment to commit the department store's layout to memory before heading to his first destination. The first place Shinji visits is the section where sunglasses are kept. Now, luckily for Shinji, since second impact winter has been more like summer, so the selection is still fairly good. Shinji picks out a nice, stylishly thin pair of oval specs.
hhmm... not too expensive, it should be good.
having taken care of his father's gift, Shinji decides to focus on the other most important person in his life. Shinji's next stop is Jewelry.
- - - - - - - - -
In another section of the department store, the same girl who had earlier slapped Shinji across the face, was picking out presents. This was the first time that Asuka Langely Sohryu had picked out Christmas presents. She had never had anyone to give them to before. This year, however, she would be moving in with her commanding officer and his family. She had heard that he had a son and an adopted daughter. She just hoped that his son would be like Kaji. Maybe she would have something in common with his daughter? Well, the son couldn't be like Kaji. The present that she was buying confirmed that. She had heard that the guy liked to cook, so Asuka was buying him a cooking set. It contained some utensils, pans, pots, and a book with instructions. She had heard the adopted daughter was very into foreign languages, so she had bought a book entitled, "??: For fluent leaders, looking to expand their historical language knowledge." What a lengthy title, but is sounded about right for the circumstances. For the father, she had bought sunglasses of course. She had heard that he almost never took them off, she wondered why. . .
- - - - - - - - -
As Shinji approached the jewelry section he pondered what to get Rei. He already knew the colors he would be getting, he just wasn't sure what type of accessory he would get. He had pretty much ruled out a ring, since that implied things he wasn't ready to imply. Definitely not earrings. Rei couldn't pierce her ears because the LCL in the plug would close them up. Sometimes Shinji couldn't stand watching Rei go out in that monster and fight the angels. Sometimes he wished he go pilot for her, protect her. Shinji had never asked his father, because a part of him really didn't want to pilot. And until that part was quiet, Shinji didn't know if he could ever pilot. After some deliberations, Shinji picked out a rather expensive white gold necklace. The pendant was shaped like the Korean characters for lovely voice, "??" written on 2 eighth notes. It was delicate and beautiful, just like the girl it was for. Shinji sighed at this thought. After he was finished thinking about how beautiful Rei would look in the necklace, he purchased it and went off to buy the final gift of the day. He had never met the girl he was buying it for, but he had heard a bit about her. His father had said that she liked red. He also said that she liked video games. So Shinji bought her 2 gifts. One of the gifts was a silver bracelet with a single red gem on it. It wasn't very expensive, but it still looked nice. That would be her welcome present. Shinji decided to get her the new Nintendo system and two games. One game was a girly adventure game, and one was a fighting game. Shinji didn't know what type she went for, so he thought that both extremes would work. Shinji walked out of the store, a large smile plastered on his face.

December 24, 2015
Miraculously, the date selected for the move was Christmas Eve. Though Asuka was not religious, she still enjoyed this holiday. She'd never had to go to church in her life, yet she still received gifts. Asuka enjoyed gifts, she enjoyed them _very_ much. If there was anyone out there more materialistic than Asuka, well, that's _way_ too scary to think of. So as the red haired girl burst into the roomy upscale apartment she wore a giant smile.
"I'm here!" She yelled as she stepped into the apartment.
Immediately a boy, slightly shorter than herself, with brown hair, and deep blue eyes, came running to greet her.
"Hello, my name is. . ." Shinji stopped what he was about to say when he saw the same red-headed girl from 5 days earlier.
"HEY! YOU'RE THE BAKA THAT RAN INTO ME!"
"Nice to see you again too."
"I must be in the wrong apartment," Asuka said frantically, "I'll be going now."
"Wait! I don't think you're in the wrong apartment. Is you're name Asuka Langely Sohryu?"
"Yes, how'd you know my name? Are you some hentai stalker or something?"
"No, but they told me your name when they told me of our new roommate."
"Wait. . . you can't be. . . Shinji Ikari?!"
"Yup, that's me, my father and Rei should be back in a moment. Rei had some sync tests."
"That's right, she's a pilot isn't she?"
"Yeah. . . Though I wish she wasn't. It hurts every time I see an angel hurt her Eva. I know that she feels the pain herself, as if _she_ was struck."
"So you got a thing for her?"
"What?"
"You heard me, you got a thing for the first child?"
"N. . no!"
"Don't give me that BS, you probably fantasize about her every night. That's fine with me as long as you don't have any fantasies about me."
"Oh be quiet Sohryu!"
"Heh. Well you better have gotten me some nice presents."
"Don't worry." Shinji produced a small velvet box, slightly larger than one that might contain a ring. "Here's your welcome present." Shinji held the box out to Asuka, who quickly grabbed the box from his hand.
"It better be good." Asuka said this as she slowly lifted the lid. She gasped at the beautiful bracelet as she extracted it from the box. "Y. . . you bought this for me?"
"Hai"
Asuka took the bracelet and put it on her right wrist. For a moment she had a beautiful smile on her face. Shinji thought she looked best with a smile. He was totally unaware of the fact that he was intently staring at her beautiful complexion. As Asuka came back to reality, she noticed Shinji staring at her with a smile. "Hey, don't think this doesn't mean a free ride baka." It wasn't quite as venomous as her earlier statements of Shinji's idiocy, but it was just as sincere.
"That's not what I was think at all." Said Shinji with the warm smile still on his face, he turned and left for the kitchen to finish Christmas dinner.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Rei, could I talk to you" Gendou Ikari was looking at Rei with a look of trepidation, fear, and anxiety. A similar look seems to grace the face of every parent before broaching this subject. But for Gendou, it was a _much_ more intense and strange conversation.
"Hai!" The blue haired girl sitting next to him in the train car looked up at him with a smile. Gendou found himself recognizing just how valid his son's opinions of the girl were.
"Do you. . . intend to. . ."
"Have intercourse with your son?"
"Hai. Though I would hope not soon."
"Do not worry Mr. Ikari, I will not have intercourse with your son for a while. Though it is still an imminent goal in my mind, your son seems to be a bit hesitant."
"As I would expect. He is an honest, caring, and responsible young man, his mother would be proud. Speaking of his mother, did I ever tell you whose DNA was used to synthesize yours?"
"Hai. But there is not enough of his mother's DNA in me to constitute incest."
"I guess you're right, I am worrying over nothing."
"Hai, and anyways, what we need to worry about is our new roommate."
"You're right as always. This is our stop. . ."
- - - - - - - - - - - -
As the blue haired girl and the man walked into their apartment they noticed something out of place, a beautiful red-haired girl sitting on their couch.
"Ugh. Did Shinji bring home another one?" Gendou joked as he saw the red- head. Though Shinji received invitations, he always turned them down. Gendou knew that he was saving all of himself for the beautiful blue-haired girl standing next to Gendou in the doorway.
"That baka? Bring home girls? I think he'd have to slip 'em something to even get one to talk to him."
"Actually, Shinji seems to be quite popular." Said Rei in a rather sad, downtrodden, and yet thoughtful tone.
"Aww. . . Does the first have a think for the maid?"
Shinji picked just that moment to come out of the kitchen in a babushka and an apron, looking very much like a maid.
His appearance and impeccable timing, instigated chuckles from Rei and Gendou, and an all out laugh-fest from the red-head. Once everyone had calmed down, Shinji looked around in a bewildered manner and said, "What's so funny?" This created a flurry of laughter that wouldn't stop for the next 20 minutes.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
After the laughter had finally died down Shinji re-appeared out of the kitchen. However, this time he was a bit more intelligent and had already removed his cooking clothes.
"Dinner's ready!"
"Hai"
"mmmmm.."
"FINALLY! I'M STARVING!"
Asuka nearly trampled over Gendou and Rei in an effort to get to the food that Shinji had just prepared.
"What is it?! What is it?!" Asuka said in quick succession while hopping up and down like a 5 year old.
Shinji chuckled and said, "Well, since your used to European food. I decided to make duck with mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, biscuits, and honey."
Asuka had a ravenous look in her eyes as she sat down in the chair Shinji pulled out for her. Not waiting for everyone else to sit down, Asuka took a little bit of everything. . . okay maybe A LOT of everything, and started eating. Shinji, though he felt this was wrong, said nothing. Shinji figured that she was the guest and he would let her do what she wants. Rei, Gendou, and Shinji all sat down, then bowed and began to eat.
- - - -- - - - - -
Dinner was finished and everyone was feeling rather fulfilled and jolly. Warmth was the pervading feeling of the evening. Presents were to be opened at night because Asuka needed to go for sync tests in the morning. Thankfully, Rei was given a long-deserved and needed rest. Shinji had received the aforementioned cooking set and some tapes for his SDAT from his father. Rei had yet to give him her present, but he suspected it would be a good one. Gendou had received 2 pairs of sunglasses and a copy of his favorite move which had just come out on the 2015 form of video recording. Gendou was very happy with his gifts, and did not feel offended by the receiving of multiple sunglasses. Asuka was ecstatic. Asuka was already happy about the bracelet, but when she unwrapped the Nintendo system and the fighting game, well, this guy might not be that bad after all. She was less than happy about the inclusion of the girly game, but she would let it slide. She had received a yellow sundress from Rei, and a bottle of Sake from the Commander. He knew that she was already drinking, he just hoped she didn't get too smashed. She was wild enough sober, when she was drunk Gendou had doubts about the level appropriateness her actions might take on. The Sake was passed around between the four occupants of the apartment, most of the bottle disappearing as it was in the possession of Gendou and Asuka. Rei and Shinji were really only drinking to be polite, but it still had an effect on them. All of the occupant's prior feelings of joy and fulfillment were increased ten-fold. Finally, Asuka and Gendo seemed to pass out on the opposite couches respectively. Shinji and Rei looked at each other with a knowing smile and a wink. They got up out of the chair in which Shinji had been sitting, Rei had been on his lap. Gendou might have protested this seating arrangement, but he was _much_ too drunk to notice. Rei went into Asuka's new room and came out with her blanket. Shinji did the same for Gendou. Next, they both draped the blankets over their respective owners. Chuckling to themselves they retreated down the hall towards their rooms.
"I still haven't given you _my_ present Rei."
"Nor have I given you mine."
"Well should we exchange?" Shinji said with a warm smile.
"Hai, your room or my room?"
"Mine."
"Hai."
Rei went to her room and got ready for bed, slipping inter her pajamas which consisted of baggy cotton pants and a fluffy cotton shirt, both a pastille shade of blue. Shinji had already changed into his customary Boxers and a tank-top. Rei brought a bottle wrapped in shiny golden paper as she opened the door to Shinji's room. Shinji brought out the box where the necklace was contained. She small box was wrapped in a surreal pattern of sky blues and pastille pinks. As Rei entered the room Shinji couldn't help but think how kawai she was. The baggyness of her clothes seemed to contrast her elegant face perfectly.
"You know, you look extremely kawai in that outfit." Shinji said with a dumb smile on his face.
"Thank you." Rei said as she carried the bottle to the bed.
"So do you wanna' go first, or should I?"
"Why don't you."
"Okay."
Shinji began unwrapping the bottle and saw expensive champagne behind it.
"Wow Rei! This must have cost a fortune!"
"It was not too much." Rei blushed a light shade of pink, Shinji found this looked failry attractive.
"Close your eyes." Shinji commanded in a soft voice.
Rei, trusting Shinji completely, closed her eyes and waited patiently. Shinji slowly opened the case and positioned it in front of Rei's face.
"You can open them now." Rei slowly opened her eyes. . .
"It. . . It's beautiful!" Shinji smiled a huge silly grin as Rei positively appraised his choice of necklace.
"Could you put it on?" Rei asked shyly. Shinji nodded an affirmative and watched as Rei turned her back to him. Shinji could see the back of her slender neck. Rei's skin seemed to glow in the moonlight. Shinji slowly slid the delicate chain-linked necklace around her neck. His hands brushed against her porcelain-like skin. At this touch they both shivered. It was such a warm and soft feeling, but at the same time it was like electricity. He felt energized, like he could take on the world! But he instead used this energy to carefully do the clasp at the back of the necklace. Shinji let the necklace fall naturally. The delicate necklace worked incredibly well with her delicate and beautiful face. As she turned to him in the moonlight, Shinji see her beautiful features lit up like an angel, a true angel, the kind of angel that was drawn in chapels. Or maybe she looked like a beautiful and graceful fairy from a book of the creatures of wikka. Whatever the correct comparison was, there was no denying the delicate beauty of the quiet girl in front of him. Rei gave him a warm a soft smile. She stared at Shinji for what seemed like eternity to the two teens, Shinji lost in her red eyes, Rei lost in Shinji's deep blue pools. Finally Shinji broke the silence with one whispered word. . .
"Beautiful."
Shinji then caught himself by surprise and did something he'd wanted to do for 5 years, he kissed her. The kiss was not a peck, and not a "French." It was more like the touching of two soft rose petals as the lay on the ground. The kiss was not broken by either for a good 5 minutes. Finally Shinji drew back to see the beautiful face of the female he had known since he was 10. Shinji smiled again and drew him into another long and delicate kiss. His arms folded across her back, caressing it gently up and down. Her arms were draped over his shoulders as they fell to the bed. Laying side by side they did not break the kiss. They lay in the bed in a warm embrace, feeling incredible warmth and happiness at the touch of their lips. They kissed for another good 10 minutes, their lips dancing over each other like drifting Sakura blossoms that kept insisting on bumping into one another. Each touch was soft and delicate, bringing feelings of warmth and pleasure never before known to either of the pair. They stayed like that all night, in that embrace. They weren't quite ready for anything beyond that. Neither of them really cared when of if _that_ happened. Both were simply content with the feeling of acceptance and love. The rest could happen when they got older.

Hey all!
Liquid Silver here. I know you might be pissed if you like my other series, but I have to apologize and explain my lack of work on that one. You see, "In Otherwords. . ." was never really a serious story. It was more something that I though up at 1 am when my friend was staying over. We were talking about what Shinji would be like if this and if that. You see my friends hates Shinji and thinks he is a total pussy. While I disagree COMPLETELY. See I respect Shinji for taking all the shit that's thrown at him and NOT killing someone. I like to believe that I have a lot of patience, but if Asuka pestered me all day long like that, I think I'd snap. What my friend can't seem to understand is how Shinji is SOOOO incredible for one simple reason. HE SAVED HUMANITY!!!!!!! If I were Shinji, I probably would have said, "Screw you guys, I'm just gonna' be in this world with a naked Rei partly melted into my body." He went through SO much shit, and yet he still chose to go back, because he knew that people couldn't be happy in the world of nothingness. He came back for others, not himself. That's what makes Shinji the shit. Well that's enough for my short little Shinji rant. But n e ways, I completely lost my interest in that story. I think this one is much more believable, and it stills shows how much power Shinji has. Yes I know some of you will be pissed that Gendou is actually acting somewhat like a normal person, but seriously, I think he is normal. Gendou just did what Shinji stopped himself from doing in the end, he wasn't strong enough not to run, and so he did. In this story, Yui gives him the strength to stay and try to connect with his son. And since Shinj's his son, that's pretty easy. Yes, I think that Shinji would still learn to cook, I'll explain that later though. Oh yeah, PLEASE R&R!
