"BAKA!"

SLAP!

For some people, this might seem a little odd. A girl yelling at a young man and then slapping him when she finds out that her meal has been under cooked. But for Shinji Ikari, this is normal.

The young man in question sighs. His roommate and fellow eva pilot, Auska Langley Soryhu, has once again been struck. He rubs the side of his face, wincing slightly because of the pain.

Why, he asks himself. Why did she have to hit me? The meal wasn't that bad. Sighing, he placed the last of the clean dishes into their cabinets before heading to his room.

Misato's not here, either, he thought. He laid down on his bed and placed the buds of his S-DAT player in his ears.

Why does Auska have to be so mean? He wondered, feeling his eyelids getting heavy. Why can't Misato be here more often? He felt sleep coming on.

Why does my life have to suck?

I wish I was stronger the pilot of eva Unit-01 thought as unconsciousness claimed him.

The next day…

Shinji woke with a start. Tiredly, he rubbed his eyes also taking notice of his S-DAT's ear plugs still in his ears. He pulled them out.

What time is it? Shinji turned his head to his alarm clock. 6:30 a.m. Well, at least I didn't oversleep. He pushed himself out of bed and stretched.

Wow, he thought, I feel really great today. Not just ok or good, but great! He rubbed his head. I wonder why? Oh well, I guess I'd better get a shower and breakfast going. I don't need a repeat of yesterday.

"Baka! Breakfast had better be ready when I get out there!"

Shinji sighed. Guess the shower will have to wait.

The demon had woken up.

Auska wasn't the only person up.

Misato had also woken up a short time after the volatile German. She yawned and stretched, making her way into the dining area. This is unusual. Shinji's usually got something to eat by now.

"Misato! Does that worthless baka have my breakfast done yet?" Auska demanded from her room

Uh-oh, Shinji. Looks like you're in deep shit today Misato thinks with a grin. She opens he door to the fridge to get her morning beer only to see it's completely empty.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Shinji gritted his teeth as he heard Auska. What am I her personal servant? He clenched both hands into fists. This ends TODAY!

Auska came out of her room and viewed the table. That baka! I'll make him pay for not having my meal ready! She ran to his room and slammed open the door.

"Baka Shinji, prepare to die!"
