Why am I sharing the same feelings as those Lilin? Although I am the descendant of Adam, but? Maybe, because of the fact that Adam also in love with Lilith and the existence of Lilin proves it? It suffocates me a lot, but I still want to be with her, sharing these feelings with her, the one that I pity for, Mari…

Kaworu Nagisa

Mari left the grey haired boy behind as she fastens her pace. Who wouldn't fall to the boy who have not just looks, but also intelligence, not to forget, cooking and chores skills? Every girl wishes to be with him, to be love by him, so does Mari. His tenderness towards her making Mari easily falls for him. His mysterious figure was outshining by his kindness and sincerity. It's not that Mari was a fan girl type or easy falling in love, but this boy does turn her life upside down!

"Mari." He called from behind. Mari ignoring him, making her pace faster than before. He smirked before calling her, "Baby."

As she heard him, she turned to face him. His smirk grew widen. He knows that he got her by calling her nickname. Her usual happy-go-lucky figure was totally disappeared whenever she was with him. He does figure the truth of her. The truth that she was not happy as she was in front of others. A hypocrisy.

"What?"

"Nah, just want to walk together with you, and…" Kaworu replied, as he approaching her and again leaning to her for a kiss.

They didn't realise that one certain orange haired girl was watching their intimacy.

"Now I know why she was living all 'alone' and didn't want to accept Misato's offer to live together with us…"

Asuka know what she has to do now. To reveal the truth towards their classmates and of course towards Misato and Ritsuko.

"Morning, Shinji-kun." Kaworu greeted him politely.

"Morning, Kaworu."

Not long after that, Mari arrived. It was their promise, not to be seen together in school, although Kaworu hates it.

Shinji, notices that she wasn't like the way she was, approaching her.

"Hey, Mari? What's wrong? You look…different."

"I'm okay, thanks Shinji."

"If anything, you should let me know, Mari."

"Kay, mummy!" She exclaimed, which made Shinji laughed.

"Told you not to call me like that!"

"Well, I can't! I never felt being cared like what you did to me." She sincerely admitted. Shinji kept silence. He knew something was definitely wrong with Mari. Mari, on the other hand, never felt being loved and cared like that. When she was assign to Japan, she knew that many interesting things that she would later face on. Meeting Shinji who was polite and warm is one of it. If Shinji were not in love with Rei, Mari would definitely try her chance of winning his heart. Although she leaves by herself, she would always visiting Shinji and Shinji would pack her the meals he made.

The class that day was very boring. Mari, who was appointed as the president of student council in the school were busy as usual. Rei, as her vice president, helped her. It may look as biased but Mari was happy working with her rather than working with Asuka. While, as for Kaworu and Shinji, they were in the Music Club, while Hikari and Asuka in the Drama Club. Kensuke were in the Photography Club, while Toji would definitely be in the Soccer Club. The eight of them would definitely spend time together during recess time, no matter how busy they were.

"Ne, ne Mari-chan!"

"What is it Hikari?"

"Asuka and I have decided that we would do some drama during school festival."

"Really? Wow, that's a very good idea. What would the story be like?"

"Romance, of course. We need help from the Music Club also."

"But, we have a problem." Asuka, said, interrupting.

"What is it Asuka?"

"We need a director, a very skilled one." She said, mischievously.

"Well, don't play dumb kaichou! You are the one!"

"Wha? Why me?"

"Because, you are once in the Literature Club, that's why!"

"And you do love literature, right?" Kaworu added.

"Heh…? How'd you know that Kaworu? I thought that Mari would only tell that to us girls…" Asuka said.

"Well, you're wrong. Actually, she told that to me as well." Shinji said, defending Kaworu. Shinji knows that both Kaworu and Mari were in love.

Another chapter! Please, do review… And this is my version of NGE, which centres on Mari and Kaworu~
