Author's note: Okay, explaining the whole "Shinji almost kissing Asuka" thing. He did it subconsciously. He didn't know he was doing it, because his subconscious took over for a moment. -shrugs- That are really the best way I can explain it... Well, here's chapter eight of "Until the Day I Die"

"Misato! What did you want to talk to me about?" asked Shinji as he ran up to Misato who was leaning against a wall waiting.
"Let's...let's leave NERV first okay?" she suggested with a small smile. Shinji looked at her confused before nodding in agreement.
"Where's Asuka Misato? Aren't we all going home together?"
"No, I gave her permission to stay at Hikari's for a while today." said Misato in an off-handed sort of tone. Shinji nodded and followed Misato's brisk pace down the hall. Once outside in the bright light, the two waited for their eyes to adjust to the bright light before heading for the subway. However, Misato took a left and headed down a side street. Turning around, she noticed Shinji was looking between her and the subway entrance.
"Come on, we're going this way. I need to stop somewhere before we go home."
"Uhh...okay." said Shinji as he turned left and ran to catch up to Misato. "Misato?"
"Yeah? What is it Shinji?"
"Is...what you wanted to talk to me about my sync test?" inquired Shinji, a look of concern flashing across his face.
"Actually...yes, it is." said Misato in a hallow voice.
"Is...there something wrong with it?"
"Shinji, let's get some ice cream and sit down before we talk about it." said Misato as she walked up to the same ice cream shop that they went to the night Shinji had first heard Asuka sing. After ordering their ice cream, they went across the street and sat down on a bench.
"Misato... What is wrong with me?" asked Shinji quietly as he looked at his feet.
"What...what do you mean?"
"I...I know that my sync is lower today if that's what you wanted to talk to me about. I heard Maya and Ritsuko talking about it when I came out of the locker room."
"You...you did?" asked Misato, astonished that Ritsuko would talk about the results of the sync tests in front of the locker room.
"Yeah, I did. But...there's something else..." mumbled Shinji.
"What is it? Shinji, you can always talk to me about your problems." said Misato as she placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. Shinji looked up from his melting ice cream and smiled slightly.
"Thanks Misato..."
"Now, did you want to talk to me about what else is wrong? Maybe we can figure something out."
"Yeah...maybe we can."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Hello? Can I help you?" asked a female voice from the intercom on the wall next to the door.
"Umm...is Hikari home?" asked Asuka as she pushed the button and spoke into the speaker.
"Yes, I'll go get her. Hold on a moment." said the voice.
"Thank you." mumbled Asuka as she let go of the button. Sighing heavily, she hung her head. Something was up with Shinji, she knew it, and she hated seeing him like that. The door opened, and Hikari smiled.
"Hey Asuka! Come in!" she said happily as she grabbed Asuka's arm and pulled her inside. "I'm so glad you came over! I was getting worried about you. You know, since...Shikaku moved here and all."
"Oh, her... Don't worry about it! I'm fine, Hikari. I am a Pilot after all!" said Asuka as she thwaped herself on the chest.
"Well anyway, I just made some steamed rice. Would you like some?"
"Sure! I'm starving!" said Asuka happily as she followed Hikari into the kitchen.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"You...you what?" asked Misato, unable to completely comprehend what Shinji had just said.
"I like Asuka...but...I don't know if I can tell her... And I don't want her to hate me either." said Shinji quietly, finally disposing of his ice cream cone covered in the sticky substance that was once frozen.
"I don't think she'll hate you Shinji. Just tell her...I'm sure she'll understand." said Misato smiling slightly. 'But I still don't want to be around when he tells her...'
"Do you think I should? And...and when should I tell her exactly?"
"Just tell her when you think the time is right. There's nothing more you can do about it. You're a teenager. Teenagers start to feel like this about other people. It's just the way of nature I suppose..."
"Alright, thank you Misato." said Shinji as he stood up. "Are we heading home now?"
"Yeah...wait! I completely forgot about this until now. I told Kensuke and Touji I would have you go over to Kensuke's house after the tests. Go ahead and go over there; I'll meet you and Asuka when you get home."
"Really? Thanks Misato." said Shinji as he nodded, smiled and ran off towards the subway to get to Kensuke's house.
"Well, this is worse than I thought it would be... Both like each other, but won't admit it... What a predicament we're in..." muttered Misato as she stood up stretched and headed for the subway herself. "Maybe I should call Ritsuko..."
