AN: In this fic, I have changed quite a bit. The prominent being that Kaji is Shinji's guardian, the Evangelion do not exist, nor do the angels, however NERV does, as well as a few minor details in the characters such as looks and clothing. Otherwise enjoy.

Shinji Ikari yawned and stretched as he awoke due to a bit of turbulence on the plane, suddenly jerking upright and causing his headphones and SDAT to fall out of his lap. Groaning, he reached down, only for his SDAT to be snatched up by someone else's hand, his one and only guardian Ryoji Kaji. "Damnit Kaji, give it back!" He exclaimed as he shook his head, as he reached for his music player, only for it to be pulled back out of his reach.

"Nope! You've been listening to this thing since before we took off and we're almost landing, you'll get it back soon..." The older man replied, smirking a bit.

The young sixteen year old sighed and ran a hand through his chocolate brown bangs. In all honesty, the boy looked very much like his guardian with a composed demeanor, their brown hair with a short ponytail in the back, although Shinji lacked the five o clock shadow that Kaji perpetually had.

The only real difference that could be seen between the two other than the obvious age difference, was their choice in clothing. Kaji had on a blue button up shirt that was untucked and a pair of loose khaki pants, which had been deemed by Shinji 'Kaji's uniform'. While Shinji's outfit consisted of a pair of black leather boots, faded blue jeans, a brown shirt that hung a bit loose on his frame, and a black patch leather jacket with the collar upturned.

"Jackass..." The young boy muttered, cracking his neck to the side as he reclined in his seat and cast a glance toward the older man. "So why the hell do we have to move to Tokyo-3 anyway, I mean we could still be in California hanging out at the beach, but no, lets go back to Japan... ass."

Kaji rolled his eyes and bumped his fist down upon his young charges head. "Oh shut it kid, it's your father's idea, not mine."

The silence that followed was too uncomfortable for either person's taste and Shinji quickly decided to shift the topic away from his neglecting bastard excuse for a father. "So where are we gonna live when we get there anyway, and for that matter who's picking us up... you know i hate cabs."

A chuckle and a smirk was the immediate response, soon after a quiet. "You'll see..." Followed as a red light came on, signaling that seat belts now needed to be fastened and that they would land very soon.

Asuka Langley Soryu, was a rather proud sixteen year old, although who wouldn't be proud with her looks. She had long fire red hair that just shone like the sun in any light, her baby blue eyes sparkled and glimmered almost all hours of the day, and a rather well endowed chest for her age and shapely hips, topped off with muscle legs, lets just say she screamed 'sexy!'. Her beauty however, could only be matched by one thing... her demon like temper. Many boys from her school had tried to sneak a peak up her skirt, or attempt to touch her in any way had been on the receiving end of her anger, and know for a fact hell hath no fury like a bitchy girl on her period.

At the moment, said young girl was bouncing on her heels as she waited in the lobby of the local airport. Her guardian, Katsuragi Misato, had told her this morning that she would not have to go to school today, instead she would accompany her to the airport to pick up two old friends. She wasn't really interested in meeting two of Misato's possible old drinking buddies, but she was less interested in her boring old classes.

"Misato!!" Asuka whined, as she looked over at the purple haired beauty. "When are those two guys you were talking about gonna get here?!" She asked as Misato glanced out the window towards the large runway.

"Ah, their plane just landed, come on we'll wait for them by the escalators." The older woman responded, as she turned and walked away, her tight black pants showing off her ass and causing many men in the terminal to fall over trying to catch a glimpse of the foxy purple haired woman.

'Perverts!' Asuka thought bitterly as she followed her guardian of a little more than six years.

The two women didn't have to wait long as soon the image of two rather attractive men appeared coming up the escalator, one of which was immediately tackled into an affectionate hug by a red blur.

"KAJI!!" A girlishly squeal followed, the typical fangirl voice threw Shinji off as he was caught in a bear hug by a girl he didn't recognize. Apparently the girl noticed the awkwardness after a moment and looked up, finding not the eyes of her older crush, but dull blue, almost grey eyes that stared down at her in confusion.

"Ahh... wrong person." Shinji muttered and almost immediately Asuka flew off of him and turned towards his taller companion, hugging Kaji and acting as if the previous incident had never even occurred. With a shrug, the young man glanced back to the purple haired woman standing before them with a smirk on her face. "Hehe... Hey Misato!" He called out as he walked over to the woman and forced himself to look only at her face.

At a younger age Kaji had introduced Misato to him and he had consequently developed, not really a crush so much as hormonal raging attraction towards the drop dead sexy woman. Then again any teenage male who caught a glimpse of Misato would never be able to forget such a sight.

"Shinji!" Misato smiled as she wrapped him up in a hug, then pulled away and glanced him up and down. "You've grown so much, almost a clone of Kaji... though the look works better on you hun!" She gave him a teasing wink before turning and glaring at the older man who had finally been released by Asuka. "You didn't turn him into a womanizer did you?"

Faking as if he had been struck, Kaji threw his hands over his heart. "Oh Katsuragi, after all that time I spent looking forward to this reunion and you strike me down!"

At the comment both Asuka and Shinji scowled, Asuka for having Kaji's attention taken off her, and Shinji for his guardian using such a corny pity card.

"Oh shut it you moron, you just influenced Shinji so much that I had to assume, hell even Asuka mistook him for you." She barked back, moving over and flicking Kaji in between the eyes. "Lets get going, your luggage has already been sent on ahead." And with that said, she turned and walked back toward the parking lot, Kaji following close behind her and Asuka and Shinji walking a few feet behind at a steadier pace.

Finally the two teens turned their attention away from the adults and toward each other, each one glancing the other up and down as they took in their appearances.

'Blue eyes... red hair... German?' Shinji noted as he transferred his gaze downward, his eyebrows arching a bit as he noted her outfit. A low cut yellow shirt that dipped down and showed off her rathe large breasts, to top it off she had on a pair of jean shorts that cut off just above her mid thigh, making even more of her curves stand out. 'Definitely german... no doubt about it.' All in all he had to admit, he had never seen a more attractive girl her age.

Meanwhile Asuka was doing a bit of studying of her own. 'Shite... he looks just like Kaji, definite plus... nice jacket.' She fell behind just a step and glanced back at Shinji's backside, almost instantly a fan-girlish squeal echoed throughout her mind. 'Mein Gott, what a nice ass!'

It wasn't long before the four of them reached Misato's flashy red sports car. Whatever trance the two had been in was instantly shattered when the purple haired woman moved to take the drivers seat.

"MISATO!" Shinji cried out, causing the other three to jump up in surprise. "Eh... why don't we let Kaji drive... he was just telling me on the way here that he wanted to drive your car more than anything in the world, besides if we get stuck in traffic I'd rather be stuck listening to you than him!" He lied quickly, gulping in suspense and hoping to the spirits that Misato wouldn't take the wheel.

Luckily it did and after a moment of thought Misato gave a slight shrug and tossed the keys to Kaji, who caught them and moved to take the drivers seat, while Shinji and Asuka climbed into the back.

"Nice." The redhead whispered gratefully as Misato took her seat in the passengers seat and they began to pull out of the airport.

"SO!" Misato cut in before Shinji could reply, turning her head and looking back at the two teens. "You two haven't actually been introduced yet. Asuka, this is Shinji Ikari, Shinji this girl here is-"

"Asuka Langley Soryu! Charmed huh?" Asuka announced herself with a proud grin as she flipped her long red hair over her shoulder, batting her eyelashes a bit.

Chuckling at Asuka's introduction, Shinji nodded. "Sure... so I'm guessing Misato's your guardian?" He asked as he leaned back in the leather seat, the wind whipping through his hair as Kaji sped them along the freeway, though in a much safer way than Misato could possibly ever manage.

"Mhmm... so you're Kaji's charge huh... what are you doing here anyway?" The blue eyed girl countered.

Shinji gave a light shrug and scratched his cheek. "Hmm, don't really know... apparently Kaji's been transferred over here so I gotta follow, if we had to leave the place we had in the states I guess it means it's a long term move..."

"WHAT?" Asuka exclaimed, smiling brightly at the thought of Kaji being able to stay close to her at all times. "Is it true, your moving here? Where are you guys staying?"

Kaji and Misato both chuckled a bit as they pulled into the parking lot of a large apartment building. Much larger and nowhere as much of an eyesore as the apartment complex.

"No fair! you guys get to stay here? This place is huge... the apartments have to be ten times the size of the one me and Misato have." The fire haired girl pouted as Shinji and Kaji both jumped out of the car.

Kaji smiled charmingly and raised an eyebrow at Misato, who winked back. Shinji however caught it. 'What the...'

"So would you two lovely ladies like to come up and see the place?" The older man offered, smiling a bit.

Shinji was thoroughly convinced that there was something odd about the whole ordeal of this large and modern apartment. Throughout the period of time that they had been looking around, he noted that Misato knew exactly where everything was. The boxes that housed his things had been piled up in the living room to be moved later, however he had not spotted Kaji's things at all. Not to mention the fact that there were three bedrooms, along with three bathrooms, and a large kitchen with a fully stocked fridge full of beer... and Kaji nor he drank that brand.

"Alright, thats it, what's going on here?" The young man demanded as Misato was leading them out of the master bathroom, which Asuka had gushed at. The other three occupants in the room gave him a quizzical look. To which he sighed and continued. "Kaji your things aren't here and mine are, you look just as lost as me in this place and yet Misato knows it like the back of her hand... I repeat... what is going on?"

With a nervous chuckle, Kaji stepped forward and sighed. "Well... I knew you'd catch on so there isn't any point in hiding it... I'm not staying here Shinji... though you are."

At this point Asuka cut in, looking a bit envious. "So he gets to live here by himself?"

"Not exactly..." Misato replied, smiling a bit at her charge. "So Asuka... what do you say we get out of that dusty old place, and move in here with Shinji!?" She asked, knowing that Asuka dreaded their old apartment.

"YES!" She cried out, pumping her fist in the air with a smirk.

Shinji sighed and glanced over at Kaji. "So what's the deal...?" He asked, pursing his lips together as he had already guessed the answer.

Kaji gave the young man he had raised a regretful look. "I'm sorry Shinji... but I'm not being transferred, I'm being promoted and my job requires me to move around too much for me to take you along with me... Misato's going to get custody of you, but I'll drop by every once in a while.

Nodding, the brown haired boy smiled a bit. "Eh, sure, I get it... guess it won't be too bad... living with two insanely hot girls..." He smirked a bit and Kaji bumped his fist across Shinji's shoulder.

"That's the spirit kid... well I've gotta go meet with Gendo... I'm leaving tonight so I won't be back for a few months."

With a shake of his head, Shinji walked back towards Misato. "See ya around..." He called back as Kaji left the apartment, the faint sounds of a helicopter coming from above vaguely reached Shinji's ears a few minutes later.

"Alright you two, get over here!" Misato called out, blowing on a loud whistle that she apparently pulled out of nowhere. Almost instantly the two teens stood at attention in front of her. With a smile she nodded approvingly and pulled out four long rectangular stickers, two red, two black. "As you two saw there are three bedrooms and three bathrooms... though we haven't decided who's room is who's, so your going to take the stickers and place one on the wall opposite the door of the room you pick... you're going to race, starting from here and I better not hear any complaining about which room you get, I'll take the two that you don't pick." She said as she handed the red stickers to Asuka and the black ones to Shinji.

Instantly both teens knew which room would be their first target, though all the bedrooms were evenly sized, they were styled differently, and one bedroom had a modern bed instead of a futon, with a large plasma screen television already mounted on the wall. The other two bedrooms however, had tatami mats and paper walls, along with futons instead of the modern look and a more comfortable bed.

Though unlike Asuka, Shinji thought ahead beyond the bedroom foremost, the bigger prize would be the master bathroom. It had a jacuzzi, larger bathtub, and a window view of the forest surrounding the city. Of course he would have to go for the master bedroom first, but if all else failed...

"Ready... set..." Misato lifted her hand up in the air and the two teens moved into a position where they could sprint straight towards the master bedroom. "GO!" She cried out, and giggled a bit as the duo raced off, neck and neck before stopping at the doorway of the room.

Shinji reached for the handle and pushed it open, attempting to move foreword only finding himself unable to as Asuka had pushed herself through and as a result forced them to be caught in the doorway and unable to push past each other.

"One side dummkopf!" Asuka cried out as she reached her arm under Shinji's in an attempt to push him aside.

"Feh, not likely! I got here first the rooms mine!" He barked back, smirking a bit in premature triumph. After about three more minutes of trying to push through unsuccessfully however, he sighed heavily. "Damnit... no way we're gonna decide like this... rock paper scissors?" He offered, tilting his head so he could look down at the fire haired german girl.

With a nod of her head, Asuka moved back, effectively untangling them as they stood in the hallway, bringing her fist waist level.

"Alright... Rock... paper... scis-OW!" Shinji cried out as he was suddenly elbowed in the ribs, not too hard but enough to cause him to lose his balance and give Asuka enough time to dash into the room and place her sticker just above the bed on the opposite wall. By the time Shinji had recomposed himself and peaked back into the room, Asuka was laying on the bed on her belly and sticking her tongue out as she kicked her feet childishly. "I win!"

Shinji growled in frustration. "You cheat!... fine then..." He smirked devilishly before he dashed out and made his way towards the Master bath, quickly slamming his sticker on the side of the jacuzzi. Asuka barreled into the doorway a few seconds later and stomped her feet.

"DAMNIT!" She cried out, pouting once more and giving Shinji puppy dog eyes. "Aww c'mon Shinji... can I please have this bathroom? I'll let you use it whenever you need to!" She sang in a sickly sweet voice as she moved over to him.

Smiling a bit, Shinji chuckled. "Tell ya what, I'll give you the bathroom..." He paused, and Asuka brightened, thinking it had worked. "When you kiss my ass!" He finished and Asuka's smile fell into a frown.

However, unexpectedly she began grinning again and leaned into him, winking seductively. "Show me where baby..."

Taken back, Shinji did a double-take, before chuckling and shaking his head. "Ah... touche... but you still can't have the bathroom!" He proclaimed, walking out and stepping into the bedroom closest to the front door and claiming it as his own.

Oblivious to the two teenagers, Misato was grinning like a cheshire cat the entire time as she watched the exchange between the two.

Later in the afternoon the moving crew had shown up with Misato and Asuka's possessions, and boy did Asuka have a lot of possessions. Grunting, Shinji placed the last of the boxes inside Asuka's room and sighing. "You know I haven't even unpacked yet, and this is your crap, why am I doing all the damn work?" He complained as he opened the box, and then immediately shut it, moving it over to a pile of boxes he had not unpacked, deeming them into the category of 'things not to pull out unless you want to get your ass kicked by a pissed of german girl'.

Asuka flashed him a smirk as she began organizing her closet. "Well as the gentlemen you should be honored to help such a lovely young woman like myself, besides jerk, you owe me for stealing the bathroom!" She exclaimed, although on the inside she was a bit happy to have a rather sexy guy living just one door away and able to do all her work so she could relax.

Shinji scoffed and turned his head to the side, mumbling. "Feh, underneath that facade lies the heart of a beast, im convinced."

"What was that?!"

"OH Nothing!" Shinji instantly replied, standing up and walking out of Asuka's room. "I'm gonna go unpack my things now... see ya." As he turned the corner into his room he sighed as he began unpacking the boxes he had moved in there earlier. As he arranged his things his thoughts drifted a bit.

'She's not so bad... hit's hard too.' He thought as he rubbed his chest. 'She's a damn fine view too... not a whore but she loves to show off... that girls pretty damn complicated... this is gonna be interesting.' Yawning a bit he shrugged off his jacket and shirt, tossing them into a laundry hamper in the corner of his room as he finished unpacking everything but his cello, though he didn't feel like pulling that out of it's box and having to deal with cleaning up the protective styrofoam inside.

A few moments later after he had decided that everything was set up just as he liked it, Shinji moved out into the hallway and headed towards his bathroom, intending on taking a nice hot shower and then heading off to bed for the night.

At the exact moment he exited his room, Asuka came out of hers, and blushed heavily at the sight of Shinji shirtless before her. 'Six pack!' Her inner fangirl screamed as she ogled Shinji's muscled body as he continued walking past her, her eyes followed him with each step, practically drooling at his well muscled back.

Shinji himself smirked a bit as he entered his bathroom, having known Asuka was staring. 'Very interesting indeed.'

AN: Eh, not my best work, but its just the first chapter. Anyway yes, I made Shinji a badass, but not a punk... don't like it don't read. Asuka's not going to be drooling all over Shinji every time he walks by, right now she's just using him as... eye candy I suppose. Anyway Next chapter, Shinji goes to school, oh joy!

Read and Review!!
