Well, after reading the reviews I got on chapter one I was bitten by the plot bunny (Curse you plot bunnies!). This may evolve in to a full fanfic, though I'm not sure. I'm not very up to starting another full fledged fanfic at the moment. And I'd like to thank my two reviewers, you guys were the insperation for this chapter.

Licking my chapped lips, I straddle the being lying beside me. She looks up at me, her exposed eye, filled with sorrow.

It's brown, like Misato's.

I look at the bandages covering her left eye and right arm. She had received the wounds from her awful ordeal with the Mass Production Evas.

The bandages are just like Rei's…

Slowly, I reach up, twisting my hands around her fragile neck. All she does is lie there, staring at me.

"What the hell are you doing?! Get off me!"

Asuka's mental screams echo through my head as I press harder. And yet, she does nothing. She just continues to stare at me, Misato's brown eye burning into my very soul.

"Sometimes you need a little wishful thinking just to keep on living."

"Wishful thinking my ass." I whisper.

The bandaged right hand of Asuka reaches up to stroke my cheek. My grip weakens for a moment, but returns full force. Her calloused finger tips slide off my chin, falling back to the white sand beneath us both.

I can't do this…No I will. They… Asuka, Rei, and Misato, don't disserve to live like this.

It shocks me how calm she is. Asuka, and probably Misato would have fought back. No, she just lays there like Rei, cold; without protest. Maybe she doesn't realize I can decide to end her life. Or maybe, she… No she wouldn't…

Does she really want to die?
