Elysium

Chaputa-ju

The Music room was filled with the din
of many instruments, it was the time designated for self practice. So everyone
was working on their own personal parts for the up-and-coming concert. The
result was a noise filled room in which, picking out an individual tune was next
to impossible.

When the students became tired with the
practice, all they had to do was move down to the auditorium and lend a hand to
the students that were building the set and coordinating the costumes for the
Spring Concert.

It was a good set up, since practicing
for many hours straight rarely did anyone good. Helping with the set design
gave the musicians a needed break while still engaging their minds, learning
new things, and getting to know new (or old) friends in new ways. The help was
also a much needed thing, since the concert was set for less than a week away.
Restoration of the auditorium had taken longer than anyone had thought so a
majority of the costumes for the concert were simple white collared tops and
black dress bottoms. There were a few exceptions some of the younger kids, with
support from elder students, believed that there should be more colour so one
particularly apt song had the children dressed as the four seasons of old.

Whether the students were practicing
their musical part or helping to put the finishing touches on the set and
auditorium the students were hard at work, happy, and in their own world. The
peace of the din was broken by a rarely heard sound: a cello strumming to life.
A cello shortly joined by a violin. The two instruments had been playing for a
while off in their own corner, but just now were the emotions and notes felt,
and heard throughout the room, everyone stopped.

Wem der grosse Wurf gelungen,

Eines Freundes Freund zu sein,

Wer ein holdes Weib errungen,

Mische seinen Jubel ein!

Someone ran swiftly from the music room and down the hall to the
auditorium to alert the students there of the amazing duet. And soon the music
room was filled with eager eyes all watching the far corner of the room where
Shinji and Tabris were sitting. They were facing each
other, eyes closed and simply playing. The room watched as the duet continued
in their own world, the notes filled the air; occasionally the German words
sung by Tabris could be heard as the two continued to
play. They reached the end of the song and without pause started again at the
beginning.

The longer they played content in their own world the more
red faced it made Asuka. In a burst of rage the red
head turned on her heals and stormed out of the room knocking over Kagura and making the little boy cry from the force of it.
The music stopped.

The whole room turned to look at Kagura
and the door that had been left open. Tabris and
Shinji moved quickly over to the young boy to make sure that he was all right
and Lilim followed the irate redhead down the hall.

Outside the door to the music room Lilim
paused and looked down the hallway in both directions. Asuka
was nowhere to be seen. So Lilim paused and listen
until she heard a string of German curses and a door slam shut. The ex-angle
turned down the hall towards the auditorium and ran. Lilim
found Asuka in the small prop closet by the
auditorium often used as a changing room among other things during
performances.

Asuka was facing away from the
door, with the lights off, her hands gripping a stack of folding chairs. Lilim stepped in to the hazy room and placed a gentle hand
on the German girl�s shoulders. Asuka tensed and then
relaxed, when Lilim spoke, �I�ve told you that they
are meant to be together.�

�It doesn�t mean that I have to like it, I was always told
that gay people were freaks, they were evil. Besides I wanted Shinji.�

�No, you didn�t,� replied Lilm.

Asuka turned around red faced and
angry, �Of course I did! I know how I fe��

Lilim interrupted Asuka, �No you didn�t. The Evas
lacked a soul and were very limited in their uses in the beginning. According
to NERV it was a failure. That was until Ikari Yui�s sync ratio reached 100% and became one with Eva unit
01 and she became the soul, the life spark of all Evas.
Therefore anyone with prolonged intimate contact with the Eva units is also
getting prolonged exposure to a mother�s love for her son. What you feel Asuka is Ikari Yui�s love for Shinji.�

The redhead let silence encompass the room, what Lilim had said made sense, in a
giant-robots-fighting-angels-and-gods-divine-wishes-to-save-the-human-race-(which-they-sort-of-failed-at)
kind of way. If she really, really thought about it, the thought of intimacy
with Shinji was about a thousand times less appealing then intimacy with Kaji Ryoji. In the silence they
could hear that some of the students had returned to the auditorium.

�But,� Asuka thought out loud, �if
my love for Shinji was influenced by the love of Ikari
Yui then, wouldn�t that mean that Lilim,
Touji, and Tabris all were
influenced the same?�

Lilim answered even though the
question hadn�t been posed to her, �Well Touji wasn�t
an Eva pilot long enough to get the full effect, but he is Shinji�s friend. I
was first exposed to Ikari Yui�s
love for Ikari Gendo, and
on top of the fact that I am genetically Ikari Yui, siphoned from Ikari Shinji,
well I love him� like a family member, and always have. As for Tabris��

�He doesn�t really love Shinji! I knew it he has false
feelings like the rest of us!� excitedly exclaimed Asuka.

�No,� the words came out bitter and sharp there was a note
of finality and truth, �Tabris, fell in love with
Shinji when he first met him, before he ever stepped foot in an Eva. There was
no influence.�

Asuka visibly deflated, �I still
don�t like gay people and I don�t like not being included.�

A smile lit up Lilim�s face; she
grabbed Asuka�s hand in hers and pulled the redhead
from the storage room. The small albino quickly pulled the German back to the
music room. When they entered the room, it appeared that Shinji and Tabris had gone back to playing Ode an
die Freude. Some of the students were still listening
to them, and others had gone back to their own practice.

The red eyed girl dropped Asuka�s
hand and went on a quick search for their instruments. The redhead looked down
at the hand that had just been dropped and wondered at it, for it had felt
similar to holding (or how she had imagined holding) Kaji�s
hand. The Second Child shook off the thought and looked around the room. Tabris and Shinji had stopped playing and Lilim was standing by them holding a violin and a viola.

Suddenly all three of them turned to look at Asuka expectantly, all with soft, happy smiles on their
faces. Asuka was very confused and just stood there
staring back at them. Lilim sighed and walked back to
Asuka she handed the ex-Eva pilot her violin and then
grabbed her spare hand and dragged her over to Tabris
and Shinji.

�We were discussing,� began Lilim,
�doing Ode an die Freude as
a String Quartet for the concert.�

Asuka looked shocked for a moment
and then a half-question half-protest exploded from her mouth, �But the concert
is only a week away!�

�That is why we picked Ode an die Freude,� replied Shinji in a quiet tone with a shy smile.

Tabris nodded and added, �Remember
we had to learn it for NERV when they wanted us to do a quartet? It will be
perfect, I feel a second violin and a viola will bring out the song in ways
that Shinji and I cannot by ourselves and it will also
be good for the concert goers. If we do this quartet, just as NERV had promised
shortly before the world as everyone knew it ended, it might restore some hope
and normalcy in the city.�

Everyone paused and looked at Asuka.
The redhead didn�t know what to say and looked back at the other Eva pilots.
Eventually Shinji broke the silence, �I think it will be fun, the four of us
playing together.�

Lilim smiled, �Me too.�

�I agree,� added Tabris.��

��

�How about it Asuka?�
asked Lilim after Shinji had nudged both her and Tabris trying to get one of them to voice his question for
him.

Blue eyes looked into the red eyes of Lilim and then the red eyes of Tabris,
slowly blue eyes met blue eyes of the small brunet boy that seemed to start all
of this. There was innocence and hope in those eyes. A love that was grand, but
not like how Asuka thought she felt for the boy. With
a smile the redhead sat in a chair and took out her violin, �Let�s do this!�

While the quartet had been talking the
room had once more filled with the din of various musicians practicing their
parts for the concert, some together others alone. An individual tune was hard
to pick out in the room, and yet everyone was at peace with themselves. The
peace of the din was broken by a rarely heard sound: a cello strumming to life.
A cello shortly joined by a violin, then the second violin, and a viola another
rare sound to be heard in that room. The four instruments had just begun
playing off in their own corner. The emotions and notes were instantly felt,
and heard throughout the room, everyone stopped. And they looked over to watch the String
Quartet.

Ja, wer auch nur eine Seele

Sein nennt auf dem Erdenrund!

Und wer's nie gekonnt, der stehle

Weinend sich aus diesem Bund!

Freude trinken alle Wesen

An den Br�sten der Natur;

Alle Guten, alle B�sen

Folgen ihrer Rosenspur.
