Finding the place where I belong. (Home)
Chapter one: Reunion
She at quietly reading the letter that had arrived in the days post.
Dear Fellow Student,
It has been four years since you left Jr High, You have been invited to a reunion, celebrating the years you spent with us, on Saturday 24th July 2019.
Hope to see you there.
She sat wondering whether she should go back to Japan. It would be nice to see Hikari again to catch up. Letters are okay, but to really talk to her. That would really be a treat.
'I don't know if he'll be there.' Knowing that she'd probably did not leave in the best of circumstances. The fact that it was just after the third impact, and that the young man which she knew was in deep depression. He had such sadness in his heart. She was trying her best to help him, but she just could not get through.
Then NERV made her go back to Germany with unit 02 to protect the second branch as it was being rebuilt. She tried as she stood there at the departure lounge to say 'goodbye' and that 'she'll miss him'. His eyes just seemed, distant and cold. As though whatever he saw during the third impact was not destined for human hearts or minds.
At least Misato gave her the attention she wanted from him. With tears rolling down her cheeks, Misato gave her the biggest bear hug she could give, and told her to stay in touch and that she would always have a home with her, she remembered as she wipes away a tear. Waving before she boarded the plane, hoping that he would smile and wave in return.
He didn't, he just stood there staring into oblivion. As Misato jumped up and down by his side waving and crying uncontrollably. She turned and boarded the plane destined for her homeland, though she have to admit it no longer felt like home.
**************************************************************************************
As she stepped off the plane after her fourteen hour flight she felt tired even though the day was fresh and new. Walking out of Tokyo-3 international airport, she took in the city. She saw that it had been rebuilt, and looked not much different from before the Angels came and destroyed it.
The Angels. How she once liked to go out and defeat them. The matter of her pride depended on it. But she has changed since then, she knew it deep down in her heart. She wondered if he had changed, as she got into her taxi that was going to take her to the hotel.
From what she could remember he was a brave young man, even though he didn't believe in his own abilities. She was beginning to wish that she had been more positive towards him, instead of just insulting him all the time. The taxi pulled up outside the hotel.
She collected her key and headed to her room. 'He always apologies for things that really weren't his fault.' She even found that annoying at times. 'Perhaps,' she thought, 'if I actually admitted when it was my fault, maybe that could have made a small difference.'
Opening the door to her room, to her surprise she found a bunch of flowers laying on the bed. 'Are these from him.' she picked up the flowers and read the card that was attached.
You've been away to long,
Please come home.
Misato
A smile found it's way onto her face, followed by a short giggle. Good old Misato, still remembered her. She decided that she would visit Misato, after the reunion, and if all went well, then perhaps she would talk to her about getting transferred back to Japan. She closed her eyes and smelt the flowers.
'I'm almost home,' she thought.
**************************************************************************************
She looked into the mirror, 'Well this is it.' In a few hours she was going to see him again. Looking at her reflection, she saw a young woman who had been through alot, but yet some how manage to keep her beauty.
*?*?*?
She took a deep breath, then got into the taxi.
Oh so familiar, memories. Remembering the many times she and him were running down the street because they were going to be late for school. Or the time she dragged him to the mall, just so she could have a new outfit for the sleep over at Hikari's. She felt mixed emoutions. Some of joy and happyness, others disgust and shame. The taxi pulled up outside the old school. The noise of the playground filled her mind. Even though no children were in sight. Heading inside, a woman sat at a table by the entrance.
"Name please" said the woman.
"Oh, Asuka Soryu" Sshe replied. The woman handed her the badge with her name on it. Then pointed in the direction she needed to head in. She thanked the woman. And while pinning the badge to her scarlet blouse, she headed in the direction in which the woman showed her.
Wondering what was in store.
Looking through the glass pane, the room was half full of people. She took another deep breath and entered the room. For a few painfull seconds she felt like she was in a room full of total strangers. However relief was at hand.
"Asuka, you never told me you were comming back. It's great to see you!" Hikari came over and gave her a well welcomed hug, behind her stood two more familiar faces.
"Hikari, it's been too long. It's also good to see you two stooges."
"Is this the red haired devil that stands before me?" Toji, still the same, not changed much. 'But I can see why Hikari has fallen in love with him.' She was not wrong in her discription in her letters she sent. 'She discribes him to a tee,' she thought.
"Nice to see you Toji. I hope you've been taking real good care of Hikari for me," something in her mind told her that Toji's eyes were telling the truth. "Kensuke still gun mad as ever are we?"
"Asuka, I will never give up my guns, though my main objective is to work for NERV, like you. More in the technological department though." She smiled. Same old Kensuke.
"Isn't there a member of us missing?" she had to ask the question. Something in her heart told her to ask. She just needed to know.
"Shinji? He should be along soon. I'm sure he wouldn't want to miss this for the world." She felt more at ease since she heard those words come from Toji.
"Shinji, glad you could make it," Kensuke called out. Feeling her cheeks go red, she turned. To see him arrive, Shinji Ikari, the boy she lived with, her fellow pilot. And now the man , that she realised she loves, was walking towards her. A man he had now become. Looking smart in his shirt and trousers. She smiled, hoping for the smile she never recieved at the airport when she left.
"Hikari, Toji, and Kensuke how have you been?" he greeted his other friends. Perhaps he has forgotten me she thought.
"Asuka ... It's been along while," with that he gave her a hug. She sank into his arms. This was more than she wished for.
"It's been too long Shinji. I've missed you," she spoke the words she wanted him to hear.
"I missed you too Asuka"
**************************************************************************************
Author's note; Sorry this chapter long winded i just wanted to paint the picture for you. so in the following chapters it will be easier to understand what Asuka longs for in her heart. That is to find that place in which her heart calls home.
Any comments e-mail me at ; Asuka_uk@hotmail.com
