Despite looking conscious and aware of her surroundings, the magical Misato seemed unalarmed and still completely at peace around him. Shinji decided to inquire a little more about her.
"Did you know what just happened?"
"Yes, Master. You made me appear and disappear on command, and then you woke me up."
"How does that make you feel?" he asked a little apprehensively.
"I feel okay. My body is obeying my Master so everything is fine."
Shinji was still getting used to the eager submissiveness and lack of will that both girls presented. It was something that he had never seen, unless he counted Aida's magazines, and certainly not something that he had ever seen directed at himself. He decided to question the girl further and see if he could get used to their new relationship that way.
"So, you remember everything that happened?"
"Yes, Master."
"Do you know what you are?"
"I am your slave."
Shinji sighed. "Yes but, I mean besides that."
"I know I'm a copy of Misato Katsuragi, but I know everything that she knows."
"You know everything?" The boy raised his brows. "Do you have all her memories?"
"Yes, Master."
"Um... What... What does she think about me?" He couldn't stop himself from asking that question.
Misato's copy smiled before speaking. "She... We think that you are a very cute boy, and that you don't deserve the kind of life that you've been delivered. Still, we think you have great potential, but your heart has to be nurtured so that it won't shatter easily."
Shinji's heart melted at those words. On an impulse, he approached and hugged his Misato (as he was beginning to think of her) close to him. The girl reacted automatically to this and closed her arms around him. They stayed like that for a while, Shinji savoring the feel of a warm hug and bare skin at the same time. He could just lose himself in the sensations and the feel of the girl's body, but there was still something nagging at him.
The young pilot stayed with her in the same position for a while, but he still couldn't feel at peace. He knew what the obvious outcome should be with a willing, skimpy clad, and completely devoted girl in front of him, and with no strings attached to boot. But there was still something there that was bothering him, and was preventing him from enjoying the experience. He didn't know why but he still felt... intimidated.
The boy started thinking. Was the thought of being with a girl so terrifying for him? He started to think in the other girl he had been attracted to recently. The idea of having Rei Ayanami this close (or at least a copy of her) and this intimate and responsive to him was certainly something that stirred a positive reaction from him. He realized that he didn't feel any reservations about the prospect, and he wondered why. Certainly they were both very beautiful, and with a copy he wouldn't have to worry about damaging or affecting his relationship with the original, so why then? After a moment of thought, the boy believed that he had found the reason.
His Misato was all that he could want, but she still was an adult, an authoritarian figure even without her wanting to be. The idea of this role reversal was so out of place with what he had been taught all his life that his brain was still fighting the idea. Could he do something about it?
Shinji was starting to believe that he would have to take a cold shower and make the girl go poof without anything else happening, when he remembered something that she had said.
"Um, you are a magical being, aren't you?" he asked tentatively.
"Yes, Master."
"You said your body obeys me, don't you?" he continued.
"Yes, Master. Completely."
"Okay... If I wanted your body to be younger, could you do that?" He held his breath after that.
The girl replied with a smile, "Just wish it, my Master. Make it happen."
Shinji looked blankly at the girl for a moment, then, getting the idea, he concentrated and tried to focus his power on her. It took less effort than he thought it would and suddenly the girl before him transformed. Her form lost height, her hair became a little shorter and her facial features softened just slightly.
The new Misato still looked a bit older than him, but now she was definitely a teenager. Shinji was appreciative that most of her curves were all still in the right places. 'Must have been an early bloomer,' he thought. Curiously, he realized that her few garments had adapted to her new form, not a very big change but enough to make them fit as nicely as earlier. 'They must be magical too,' he thought. 'I wonder what else they could transform into.'
"Do I please you, Master?" The voice of the girl broke him off of his train of thought.
"Yes," he said automatically, but then a slight frown appeared on his face. "Just one more thing." He placed his hand over her chest and, with just a thought, the scar between her breasts and over her abdomen disappeared, marking the second noticeable difference between herself and the original. A smile from her at this echoed in his face and, this time without regrets or second thoughts, he took the girl in his arms and hugged her tightly. The magical girl returned his gesture, and soon they found themselves caressing each other and panting slightly.
Shinji was starting to get into the mood at last, until he noticed the still form of the original Major entranced at the hallway. With a little difficulty, he extricated himself from the hug, and smiled at the inquisitive look from the girl to reassure her that everything was fine. He took her right hand on his own and motioned her to the only adult in the room. Both teenagers returned near the original Misato, and once in front of the Major, Shinji addressed her again.
"Misato?"
"Yes, Master?" Shinji noticed that his companion remained silent, now understanding that he wasn't speaking to her.
"Um, put your clothes back on."
"Yes, Master." Katsuragi obeyed him immediately, efficiently redressing herself while her roommate watched. The younger Misato placed herself at his back and proceeded to hug him tenderly from behind. Shinji allowed her to do so, appreciative of her caring nature. When Misato finished her actions, she stood still once more in front of him. Shinji spoke again.
"Listen carefully, Misato."
"Yes, Master."
"This girl is...," he thought for a moment. "This girl is Misa-chan." A small smile appeared on the younger girl at this, but she remained silent while her Master continued. "You won't find it strange that she looks like you. In fact, you won't mind that she's here or what we do together. Everything that we do will be perfectly normal, do you understand?"
"Yes, Master."
Shinji thought some more, and added other commands. "When she's not here, you will forget completely about her, but you won't question the time I spent with her."
"Yes, Master."
"Now," he scratched his head, considering how to do this right, "you will wake up and forget what happened here since I entranced you, but you will still obey what I said."
"Yes, Master." And with a blink, Misato was back to her former self. She took a moment to get her bearings and then turned to look at Shinji and the girl behind him. Without a sign of recognition she smirked at him and spoke.
"Sorry, I zoned out for a moment there." She smiled apologetically. "What were you saying?"
"Oh, it was nothing, Misato." Shinji sighed in relief to himself. "I will be in my room with Misa-chan for the rest of the day," he said while taking the young girl in his arms.
"Oh, sure. Don't stay up too late. There's school tomorrow." Misato said this as if he had said that he was going to read a book, completely oblivious to the almost naked girl in front of her.
Now that everything was settled and apparently under control, a little of his previous apprehensiveness returned at the prospect of what might happen next. He turned shyly to look at her magical companion, but just a look at her completely devoted and loving gaze made him feel confident once more.
"Do you like me calling you Misa-chan?" he asked hopefully.
"Of course, Master. That's a very cute pet name, I love it!" the girl answered eagerly.
With an enormous grin he guided the girl to his room, and she gracefully followed him inside. Once in, he closed the door behind them and:
