Don't read this if you're not 18. (That means people like me. ^_^) It contains sexual situations between both minors and adults. Contains extreme, violent shopping, and a plot. It contains [mf] sex. Very simple. If you're looking for kinky stuff, you'll have to wait a while. BACKGROUND By Drakken Fyre Part1: Rei and Shinji fuck. After Rei and Shinji fuck, Rei says she just wants to be friends (isn't that the guys line?!?!). Asuka gets suspicious and watches them (not voyeurism!), she figures it out and confronts Rei. Rei tells her and tells her to go for Shinji. Misato pulls an all nighter, Asuka gets her mack on. They go at it like rabbits. Could this be love? By Al-I-Bus Part2: A series of tests grant Asuka and Shinji the realization that they are in love. Of course, in keep with their personalities, they don't tell each other right away (only that they care for each other). After they do tell each other... they go at it like rabbits. Yes! It's love. Part3: Misato get suspicious. She finds out and confronts them about it. They try to lie their way out of it and play down the seriousness of their relationship, but Misato decides to watch them (not like that). Part4: Asuka tells Shinji about her traumatic past, while Misato is eaten up by jealousy. She feels un-involved in the family anymore. She also wants to join in the fun. (I may or may not go for that. -_^) Misato comes clean about knowing about them and Asuka says that both her and Shinji love like a sister (in Arkansas [JOKE]). Asuka promises that Shinji and her won't try and hide their relationship from Misato anymore. Part5: Angel attack and the children are called into action, Hikari messes with Touhji's head (not that one!). Shinji gets fucked up bad by the angel! Asuka stays by Shinji all the time he's in the hospital. Shinji decides to make it up to her (heh heh heh). Part6: Misato won't let Asuka comfort Shinji because Misato knows that Asuka is the reason he's crying. Asuka finally talks to Shinji and finds out that the reason he was crying is that he doesn't want to hurt Asuka or Misato by dying. Hikari and Touhji fuck (I've figured out who I'm going to hook Rei up with, still no clue for Kensuke. Send me e-mail on who you think should be Kensuke's girl). Part7: Asuka and Shinji get physicals. Gendo finds out about Shinji and Asuka from Ritsuko. Ritsuko tells Misato about Gendo's knowledge of Shinji and Asuka's relationship. And now, what you've all be waiting (skipping the rest) for... Shinji slowly moved his tounge up Asuka's right breast, steadily removing more of the whip cream coating the soft mound. He felt Asuka's cheast heave as she lets out a sensual moan. Shinji moves his tounge around in an every inward spiral towards Asuka's nipple. As Shinji drew closer to Asuka's nipple, her breath became shallow and rapid, as her fingers curled into claws, her hands gripped the sheets in a vice-like grip. "Shinji!" in a hoarse whisper, she calls out her lover's name. Shinji paused for a moment to swallow the cream that had accumulated on his tounge, before he continued on towards his final destination of Asuka's nipple. As Shinji's tounge revealed the edge of Asuka's small, pink aereola, he took the time to make an extra circuit around it, teasing the sensitive flesh. This served only to elicit another moan from Asuka, her grip on the sheets tightening, her nails threateing to pierce them. At long last, Shinji enveloped Asuka's nipple in his mouth, his tounge rolled the cherry that had been artfully placed on Asuka's nipple around, while hr teased the nipple itself with feather caresses of his tounge, as his mouth created a light suction. Using his tounge to remove the cherry from Asuka's breast, Shinji conveyed the small, seedless fruit in his mouth as he manuevered his mouth even to Asuka's. His lips pressed against hers, softly at first, then in a firmer embrace. As both children's lips parted, Shinji pushed his tounge, along with the cherry, into Asuka's mouth. In response, Asuka suckled lightly on Shinji's tounge, rolling the cherry around on her own tounge, while she massaged Shinji's in the same motion. Shinji pulled off of Asuka's mouth, their tounges still teasing each other in the open air. He rolled slightly onto his side, hovering above his true love. Shinji manuvered his left arm, which he had been using to prop himself up, beneath Asuka's back, his hand resting between her shoulder blades. Using the index finger on his right hand, Shinji removed a small amount of whip-cream from Asuka's left breast. Bringing his finger up to just before his lover's lips. Asuka's tounge snaked out and licked the sweatened cream from Shinji's finger. Shinji lowered himself towards Asuka's left breast, while lifting her towards himself with his left hand. Asuka inhaled sharply when she felt the tip of his tounge make soft contact with the sensitive and smooth skin of her bust, bringing more of Shinji's tounge in contact with her smooth flesh. Shinji copied his procedure from the previous breast, circling inward towards Asuka's sensitive nipple. As Shinji gathered more of the thick, fluffy cream on his tounge, he let his right hand wander down Asuka's body. His hand roamed slowly lower, from the round swell of the bottom of Asuka's breast, down her smooth side, onto her round, firm buttocks, sliding down her muscular thigh, all the way to her knee. Shinji began to make his way back up, sliding his hand over Asuka's slightly bent knee, the light brushing of his fingers on the under-side of her knee sending shivers of electricity up her body, his fingers slowly tracing a path up her innner thigh, coming closer to her panty-clad pelvis. Asuka's moans were getting louder and her breath more scarce, as Shinji's fingers slowly traversed the distance over her body to the center of the waves of heat and electricity that were flowing through her body. Between her already aroused state, Shinji's tounge moving steadily, yet slowly, towards her hardened nipple, and his hand crawling painstakingly up here thigh, was both torture and pure heaven. It was not an unpleasant sensation. Shinji's hand finally slid into place, at the juncture of Asuka's inner thigh and pelvis. He softly placed his palm over Asuka's panties, covering her labia, causing her to whimper lightly. Using his index and ring finger, Shinji began to apply presure to Asuka's vulva, slowly moving his hand up and down her slit, spreading her outer lips slightly with the aid of his index and little finger, and stroking her clitoris with his thumb. Asuka's breath was now coming in short gasps and airy sighs. The heat was quickly turning to a raging fire within her stomach, and the sparks of electricity were now bolts of lightning from a raging thunderstorm. She moaned as Shinji's lips made contact with her nipple, at long last. Asuka reached her right hand down to Shinji's boxer shorts, rubbing his engorged member through the thin material. Shinji removed his fingers from Asuka's vagina long enough to work his hand under the elastic band of her panties. The panties were pink thongs, and Shinji found it easy to fit his hand in them, as the band didn't travel far past his knuckles. With his fingers now in direct contact with Asuka's sensitive skin, Shinji could feel the searing heat and slick juices eminating from Asuka's slit. Shinji pressed his middle and ring finger firmly against her labia, the slickness of her secretions allowing his fingers to slip in easily. Asuka reached into the fly of Shinji's boxers, and grabbed a hold of his rock hard erection. She ran her fingers over the soft skin, starting at the base, she trailed her palm up his hard, yet soft, shaft to the base of the head. She lightly ran her thumb over the mushroom shaped bulb, teasing the sensitive foreskin. Shinji released Asuka's nipple from his lips, as he began to kiss his way higher. Up into the valley between Asuka's soft mounds, slowly up to her breast bone, where he paused to tease the small indenture with his tounge. Moving up across her warm throat, feeling it vibrate as Asuka moaned under him, over her chin, noting the chistled, European features, coming to rest on top of her soft, pouting lips, letting his tounge slip between them into her mouth. Shinji pushed the back of his hand against Asuka's panties. Asuka lifted her hips off the bed slightly to aid his removal of the barrier. Shinji slid the under-clothing down Asuka's thighs as she bent her legs to assist in the removal. All the while, their lips never parted. Asuka removed her hand from Shinji's organ, to tug at his waist- band. Being unsuccesful with only one hand, she rolled slightly and joined her right hand with her left in her struggle to remove Shinji's last article of clothing. With a little help from Shinji, Asuka had his boxers down around his knees within a few seconds. With a few kicks of his legs, Shinji sent the garment tumbling to the floor, to join the rest of their clothing. Asuka broke their kiss long enough to whisper "I need to feel you in me, _now_." Shinji rotated his body so his right leg was between Asuka's, and his rigid penis was pointing towards her vulva. Shinji slowly eased towards her glistening flower as he let Asuka gently back onto the bed. When Shinji's foreskin touched her outer labia, Asuka whimpered in expectation. Asuka raised her hips to meet him, as Shinji pushed forward, speading he inner lips with the tip of his penis. Shinji pulled his hips back slightly as he prepared for full penetration of Asuka's warm folds. Asuka was shivering with lust as Shinji... *CLICK* #High, this is the Katsuragi residence. We're not home right now. Please leave your number and a short message, we'll get back to you as soon as possible. Ja!# *BEEP* #I hope you guys get this. Gendo knows. We _have_ to talk about this later.# *BEEP* Asuka and Shinji just lay there. Neither moving, just staring into each other's eyes. "Wow," said Asuka, breaking the silence, "_that_ certainly killed the mood fast." Shinji simply groaned and rolled over to lay beside her on the bed. "And the day was going _so_ well." "Shit!" exclaimed Asuka suddenly. "What?!" "That was the last of the whip cream!" Both teens lay back in the bed, sighing in synch. "Now what?" asked Shinji. "I don't know. We should get dressed." "Yeah. I guess we shouldn't have turned all the ringers on the phones off." "No, we should've unplugged the answering machine. Why does she have one anyway? Hasn't she ever heard of Voice Mail?!" "I guess it's less of a security risk." "So! Now I'm horny _and_ angry!" Shinji thought it best not to coment on that, and began searching for his clothes. Asuka soon joined him, collecting her apperal. Asuka pulled her shirt over her head and bent over to pick up her panties. "Well, I guess I'll have to change underware." Asuka said, holding up her panties, the crotch was thoroughly soaked. Shinji grinned as he reached out and pulled Asuka towards him. "I guess that means I did a good job, right?" Asuka smilled back and shifted her face closer to Shinji's. "I suppose you did." Their eyes closed, their lips met and parted, their tounges slid against each other. A shiver went down both their backs, though Shinji's was visibly more violent, and they quickly jumped apart. "Ew!" exclaimed Asuka. "I just got the worst image of kissing the Commander!" "Me too." Shinji was vibrantly rubbing at his mouth. "You should feel lucky. He's _my_ father." Asuka sighed as she pulled the front of her shirt away from her chest, as the fabic stuck to her wet flesh. "I need a shower." She stated. Shinji smirked at the idea that popped into his head. "It'll save water and gas if we shower at the same time." Asuka and Shinji stared at each other for exactly three point two seconds before taking off towards the bathroom, stripping along the way. /*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/* Misato let he pen fall from her hand. Her eyes hurt. She had a cramp in her hand. She was sick of doing paper work. She had too much on her mind at the moment. Misato leaned back in her chair, idly massaging the bridge of her nose. She was mentally exhausted. She just hoped Shinji and/or Asuka didn't do anything silly until she could talk to them. 'I wish that woman would get here!' /*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/* Asuka tried the bell. It didn't work. She knocked on the door. No answer. 'Maybe she's not home?' Asuka was about to leave when the door opened. Ayanami Rei stood looking at her. She wore her usual expresionless expresion, and her usual school uniform. "Pilot Soryuu." she stated. "Umm... call me Asuka, Rei." "...Asuka." "Me and Hikari were going to go shopping, wanna go?" "Why?" "Because it's fun." "Why?" "It just is! Come on and I'll show you." "...Okay." /*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/* Shinji sat in his seat, patiently waiting for the train to come to his stop. The rails went by smoothly under him. The scenery blurred past. Small conversations went on around him. All were ignored by Shinji, his thoughts turned inward on how he was going to confront his father. He just couldn't seem to come up with any (good) ideas. Shinji thumbed up the volume of his S-DAT. It was playing track number twenty-five. It was a very melencoly song. Shinji realized he hadn't listened to this track in a while. While he did have a lot of Classical music on this tape, most of it was very vibrant and uplifting. The rest of it was Classic Rock, like Jimi Hendrix and Korn. With a sigh, Shinji leaned back in his seat and waited. 'Why did _I_ have to be the poster child for disfunctional families?' /*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/* Ritsuko walked in. Misato gave her an evil look. Ritsuko was taken aback and gestured as such to Misato with an open armed shrug. Misato signalled that she should _know_ what's wrong with an exasperated facial expression and a broad gesture with her right hand. Ritsuko replied with an even more expressive shrug and an open arm gesture, as she turned her body back and forth to indicate the entire room. *Tch* "You're _late_." said Misato, speaking the first _actual_ words of the conversation. Ritsuko checked her watch. "By about fifteen seconds!" "I needed to talk to you about something _important_!" "Sorry, but I had to fix these really complex machines that are needed to _save_ _the_ _world_." "Yes but I needed to talk to you about some... _critical_ _components_ of those machines." Misato said with a wink. "Oh! Right! The... _componenets_! What did you need to talk about?" "How to tell you know who, about the parts... interaction." "I have no clue how to tell the Commander." "You weren't supposed to say his name!" "It doesn't matter anyway. I have some important news for you." "Do we have to talk about this one in metaphor?" "No." "Good." "The last Angel fought... it wasn't an Angel." "What do you mean 'wasn't an Angel'?! It was big, shot high energy beams, and had an AT field! How could it not be an Angel?!" "Here," Ritsuko handed Misato some papers from the folder Ritsuko was carying, "look at these." Misato looked over the long list of numbers, odd symbols, and words she couldn't understand printed on the page. "Since you probably wouldn't understand those," Ritsuko began as she took the papers back, "I'll tell you what it means. Basically, it means that the make-up and placement of the pseudo-Angels components are only 89.57% like that of humans. That's an extremely long way from the make-up of the normal Angels. In fact, Chimpanzees have genetically more in common with us than that thing. "Also, the AT field readings picked up showed it not to be Pattern Blue, but off by two and five-hundred seventy-six thousandths." "What does that mean?" asked Misato as the information being fed to her finally began to sink in. "It means that the AT field pattern was not that of an Angel. The MAGI have designated it as Pattern Cerulean." "Why the change? Could the Angels be evolving?" "I don't know. I don't have enough data. Kill me another one of these things and I might be able to tell you." /*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/* Asuka, Hikari, and Rei sat together in the end car of the train. Asuka and Hikari were chatting, as usaul. Rei was silent, as usual. The transit system in Tokyo-3 was surprisingly fast. You could make it from one side of the city to the other in only fifteen minutes. "And so the guy told the girl and took the thing!" said Asuka, cotinuing her converstaion. "No! So you they..." "Yep, and then you remember the other thing?" "You mean the one with with all the stuff on it?" "No, the _other_ other thing." "Oh, what about it?" "They moved it to that place." "The one with all the people?" "Yep, and now you have to _pay_ to see it!" "No way!" "I know! Their all idiots running it." (Author's Note: It really doesn't matter who said which line up there. You wouldn't understand it even if you knew who was speaking. ^_^) "What do you think, Rei?" Hikari asked, turning to Rei in an attempt to bring Rei into the conversation. "I do not know." "Haven't you been listening?!" asked Asuka, slightly louder than she needed to. "Yes, unfortunately you haven't used a Proper Noun in over twenty minutes of conversation." /*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/* As the Children were under-age, NERV paid for all their living expenses as a way of pacifing certain elements within the UN. Asuka had her NERV credit card in her purse at all times. Unfortunately she could not use it as much as she wanted. Limits had been put on how much clothing she could purchase per week, as well as acsessories (e.g. perfume, bath oils, make-up). However... Rei had no blocks on her card. It wasn't deemed nessecary. Asuka and Hikari quickly pulled Rei along into another store. They're arms were already laden with bags of clothes. "Pi... Asuka, do we not already have enough clothing for me?" Asuka stopped, turned around, and looked at Rei, eyes wide, and simply stared at Rei. She soon regained her compouser. "Maybe, but you need more than just clothes!" Rei simply stared at Asuka, not believing a word she said. "It's true! You need shoes, hats, chokers..." "Why would I want to purchase an item to asfixiate myself?" "No no!" chimed in Hikari, "It's a necklace or ribbon that is worn tighly around the neck." "Very well." "And don't forget purses and purfume and make-up and..." /*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/* The girls had paused in their shopping tirade to have lunch. They chose a small Korean restaurant in the mall's food court (mainly because it served Vegetarian dishes). Hikari and Asuka chatted amiably, while Rei silently ate her soup. Asuka swallowed a piece of chicken as she continued holding her half of the conversation. "Have you heard about those new mud packs?" "Yeah, I hear they keep your pores really clear." "While we're on the subject of mud, have you dumped Suzahara yet?" Hikari scowlled at that. "Hey! That's my boyfriend you're talking about!" "Doesn't change the fact that he's a Schwachkopf." "He is not!" "Yes he is. Besides, you probably don't even know what I called him!" "Yeah! Well... so!" "You have to admit, he _is_ the dumbest of the stooges." "So! He's a nice guy!" "He _flashed_ me when we first met!" "So he's rough around the edges!" "Like sandpaper!" "Hey! Shinji's a stooge too!" "Only because he didn't talk to anyone!" "Yes, but Touji still made friends with him." Hikari was feeling quite smug. She had just successfully defended her boyfriend against Asuka. Not an easy thing to do, considering who her boyfriend was. "Yeah, right after he beat the shit out of him!" So much for having defened Touji. "He was mad because his sister had gotten hurt!" "And if Shinji had decided not to pilot because of that, we'd all be _dead_ because of your Dummkopf boyfriend!" "Well... at least my boyfriend can fight!" "Remeber the fact that _my_ boyfriend fights Angels!" 'Damn, this isn't going to well.' "Well... so... he's still nice." Asuka could tell by Hikari's quite tone that she knew she was defeated. Being a good winner, Asuka spared Hikari any further embarasment. "Whatever." Hikari decided to shift the conversation away from herself. "So, Ayanami, are you interested in anyone?" Rei paused in her eating to look at Hikari. She had never actually thought about if she liked someone, except for Ikari (both of them). Rei took the time to run through all the people she knew, and how she felt about each of them. "No." "I can understand completely!" exlaimed Asuka. "Why would you want to go out with any of _those_ boys?" Rei didn't answer, though she nodded. Hikari had a small mental hiccup at the though of Asuka and Rei agreeing on anything. /*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/* Shinji stood before the door to Gendo's office. He was finalizing his determination. Shinji's finger streched out towards the intercomm button. The door opened when his finger was half an inch away from the keypad. "Enter, pilot." came the voice from within the large office. Shinji walked cautiously into the room. He tooks a deep breath as he headed for the Commander's desk, outlined only by the crimson light from the strange, gothic symbols on the ceiling and floor of the room. Absently, Shinji wondered what they meant, if anything. For some reason, the pattern on the ceiling seemed almost familiar... Shinji stopped a few yards from Gendo's desk. "You know about me and Asuka." he stated. Gendo sat in his normal position; fingers laced together, hands beneath his nose, elbows on his desk. "Yes." was the simple reply. "I won't let you break us apart." Gendo paused, a small smirk on his lips beneath his hands. "I have no intention of intefering in your relationship with Pilot Soryuu." Shinji struggled to keep his jaw from dropping, though he couldn't hide the look on shock on his face. "You don't?!" "It is of no signifigance to me." Shinji regained his composure as what his father said sunk in. He nodded with understanding and turned to leave. Shinji was almost at the door when, "Shinji..." Shinji was stunned. His father never called him by name. Shinji turned around to face his father again. "Although I have no problem with your relationship," Gendo had moved his hands away from his face to rest, still folded, on his desk, "there are some... parties that would not view your relationship in a... positive light. It would be in your best interest not to... advertise your relationship." Shinji nodded. It was all he could do. His brain had just lost most of it's cognitive abilities. 'My father's warning me against something?' Shinji walked out of the office. The door hissed shut behind him. 'That was _way_ too easy!' /*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/* Asuka had left Hikari and Rei to meet Shinji at NERV. She was extremely worried about what the Commander would do. The last thing she wanted was to lose another loved one. Shinji turned the corner and almost ran into Asuka. She immediately grabbed Shinji and pressed her lips firmly against his. Shinji wrapped his arms around Asuka and enjoyed the feeling of her lips on his, her body tighly pressed against him. "Tell me everything that happened." Asuka whispered into Shinji's ear, as she release her death grip on him. /*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/* Gendo gazed intently at the monitor on his desk. He watched the picture as Shinji and Asuka walked off hand-in-hand. He smiled. Yes, Ikari Gendo smilled. He was truely happy. Switching off the screen, he arose from his chair, and walked towards the large windows on one side of his office. He didn't raise the shutters on them often, but he felt the urge to lighten the atmoshpere of the room. Looking down through the thick quartz glass, he looked out over the interior of the Geofront. It was a spectacular sight. Directly beneath the slanted window, the perfectly blue, placid waters of the Geofront lake sparkled in the light reflected from the giant mirrors above. Dark green forest contrasted beautifully with bright green grass. Gendo sighed as he looked at the beautiful scene placed before him. The commitee would want to break his son's affiliation with Soryuu. He knew exactly what they'd say, "You must break your son's bond with the child. He must walk the path alone! If he is not pure, our scenario will be disrupted! Who knows what will result if the patterns are joined!?" He knew good and well what would happen because of the altered patterns. It was written in the text he had taken from the Vatican. Even as he stood here, Fuyutsuki was altering the scenario, and translating the scrolls. The Jesuites had only translated part of the script, just enough for him to know that they were important. SEELE didn't look into them. Their closed minded mentality meant that they would have no idea what the new Angels were. Gendo smilled as he thought of his son and Langley. Shinji must have inherited his taste in women. She was exactly what he would choose in a partner, smart, beautiful, talented... 'She's like Yui...' Gendo sincerely hoped that Shinji wouldn't lose Asuka like he lost Yui. He was determined to make sure Shinji did not. /*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/* Misato watched the screen as Leutinant Ibuki counted down the time on the frames. The Commander, Sub-Commander, Ritsuko, and the other bridge staff were watching along with her. On the screen, the Second US branch was there one frame, gone the next, followed by static, along with Unit-04... and the S^2 kikan. This was not good. End Part 8 Next Episode: Touhji is called to the principal's office. Unit-03 is shipped to Matashiro from the US First Branch. Gendo bribes Asuka and Shinji. Shinji, Asuka, Touhji, Hikari, Kensuke, and Rei go to a karioke lounge. Rei sings! Kaji goes on a "buisness trip" to Nevada. The Unit-03 activation test. /*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/* Author's Notes: Bet you think that end part was a little OOC for Gendo, no? If you look at his character, however, you'll see that it actually fits him quite well. Gendo pushes Shinji away because he believes that Shinji would be better off without him. Shinji and Asuka having a successful relationship would prove him right (in his mind) and relieve some of his guilt over abondoning Shinji. Of course... that doesn't mean I not going to kill him. While we're on the subject of killing, I'm getting depressed. I wrote several fics before ANWFSA 7, given that most of them where humor, and ANWFSA got more replies than the rest of my serious works combined. It hurts... deep down, I can feel a pain squeezing in my chest. I feel let down by the readers. Like mindless fools, they flock right to the porn, call it great, then ignore the rest of my work. I should warn you, when I get depressed, I get mildly suicidal. Since writers associate themselves with the protagonist of their works (the main reason why the protagonist is almost always the best at what they do), you can see how this doesn't bode well. I'm not going to make any demands, I'm not going to force you into doing anything you don't want to do. I just had to put that in writing, it helps, though not nearly enough. Chibi-K: I thought you said nothing you did was serious. Katarn: No, I said nothing I do is sane. Chibi-K: Oh, right. Little-J: You went a little easy on the porn. This may not quite qualify as a Lemon. Katarn: If I post it as a Lemon, they'll list it as a Lemon. Who cares? Chibi-K: I'm... going to do the Omake Dance(patent pending) now... This is getting depressing. (Chibi-K does the Omake Dance and accidentally pokes someone's eye out.) /*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/* Chibi-K: Well, Jonathan is of building programing a web page. Um, "The Wheel of Mortality"... This isn't looking good... ~_~ Chibi-K: Anyway, Jonathan wrote this omake for Strike Fiss, but he didn't want to use it in Higher Learning, because it's not Eva related. He still wanted to use it, so here it is. Chibi-K: JONATHAN! NO! DON'T SPIN THE WHEEL!!!!
