Both teens were now headed to the conference room wondering what Misato wanted them for. "But the Eva's are still inoperable. So I wonder what they want us to do?" Asked Shinji, but mostly it was towards himself.

"It does not really matter I guess. Since we are about to find out." with that said AsukA opened up the door to the conference room and was suddenly stopped by Misato, who was right behind them.

"Oh, good, you are already here. So how about you two follow me." Misato said.

"So where are we going Misato?" asked Shinji.

"To prepare for our next operation. So just follow me." About a minute later Misato decides now is as good as any to tell them what is going on. "Our computer simulations have revealed that the Halves of the Sixth and Seventh Angel are operating in perfect Tandem. Even divided, it acts with one mind. The only way to defeat the Angel's is to attack both cores at once. It'll take perfect timing from both Eva's. We'll need compete harmony between you two, or the mission's a failure."

They then reach a door somewhere inside of Nerv. Both Shinji and Asuka watched as Misato puts a code in the computer and a second later the door opens. "Here we are. Come on in." said Misato.

With one look around the room Asuka could not help but ask Misato with a confused voice. "Misato, what is this?"

Shinji was also confused about the room too. Since the room itself was a normal bedroom. But there was two beds instead of one.

"Welcome to your new quarters!" Misato said while gesturing around the room. "You'll be living here for the next five days."

Misato was then on the receiving end of a very loud "WHAT!" Misato then puts a smile on her face at the reaction of both of the teens. "We don't have much time, and I won't take no for an answer."

"You've have to be kidding! You want us to live together for five days? You do relies we are of the opposite sex right!?" Yelled/questioned Asuka, who seemed that it might not be a good idea to put two teenage kids in the same room together.

Shinji on the other hand thought a little bit differently than Asuka. 'Well, I actually do not mind that I will have to be living with her for five days. It might be good for her to spend time with someone who is her own age.'

Even Misato seemed to be in the same thought process as Shinji. "What are you talking about Asuka? There is really nothing to be so upset about. Besides, this is an operational necessity! You two must be in perfect harmony! Training all day together isn't enough! We need to synchronize your biological rhythms as well. So you're going to sleep together, get up together, eat together-that's all. So what is the big deal Asuka?"

"B-but, what if stupid shinji gets horny and attacks me in the middle of the night?!" Yelled Asuke while pointing towards Shinji.

Who by the way had a blank look on his face while looking at Asuka. Almost as if he could not believe that she would think that. Or it could be the fact that she might be the one who gets horny at night and she might attack him. In in the back of his mind, he really hoped it was the latter.

"I'm sure he would do no such thing. Right Shinji?" She asked Shinji who was slightly ignoring her.

"Yea, Yea." He half heartedly replied.

"I'm sure you have everything here that you'll need but if there's something I missed, call me over the intercom. Wake-up call is at 6:30 AM. Goodnight!" With that said, Misato turned around and headed back out the door leaving both Asuka and Shinji by themselves. All the while Misato had this huge smile on her face, almost as if she was enjoying the situation that she just put the two teens in.

For a couple of minutes it was quite in the room that Misato had just left from. Both Shinji and Asuka were still standing in the same spot for the whole time. From Asuka's point of view, this was something that she has not ever done before, having to sleep with a boy that was the same age as her. Though, truth be told, she has never slept with a boy even when she was younger. But now here she was, being somewhat forced to spend five days with Shinji, while doing everything together. Except for when one of them had to use the bathroom or take a shower. But on the other side of the same coin, she was somewhat excited too. But since she has not been in any type of relationship with a male, romantic or otherwise, she did not know how to react when it came to this type of thing. Except for the reaction that someone would think that she would make.

"Reality has become a nightmare! Beating the Angel can not be worth this!" She then threw herself onto the bed that was beside her, in a over dramatic fashion. "Argggh! If only I could have been cooped up with someone other than Shinji!"

Shinji was starting to wonder if he could be some type of psychologist when he gets older. Because if he is able to listen to Asuka, who keeps going on and on, then he might be able to listen to anyone. Well at least Shinji know what he might be doing when he is older. But that will have to wait until all of this Angel stuff gets resolved.

It was only a few minutes later that he started to notice that his body odor was starting to make itself known. However, before he was about to blurt out that he was going to take a shower, a thought crossed his mind. He wondered if he should let Asuka take a shower first. Shinji knew that she has not taken one yet, because once they were taken out of their Eva's they were brought directly into the meeting. So remembering how Asuka could be sometimes, Shinji made his decision. "Hey Asuka?" Once she stopped complaining and turned her head towards him, he continued. "If you want, why don't you go ahead and take your shower first." He made extra careful to not make it sound like he was against the idea.

Like before, his question made her come to a complete standstill. Even now, when she is complaining, well half heartedly, he still is putting her first. The first time was when he kicked that boy he hangs out with in the balls for attempting to pull his pants down in front of her. The next time was when he told her that it was also his fault when it came to the most recently failed mission, instead of pointing all of the blame towards her. (Which she thought he was going to do.) And now here he was offering her to take the shower first. It was starting to become a little bit hard for her to keep up her defensive attitude towards him. Especially if he is going to be this nice to her all of the time.

It was then that she put a small smile on her face and turned towards Shinji. "Well, at least now I know that you know how to act like a gentlemen when it come to treating a girl." When she finished, she turned and headed towards the bathroom. But then she stopped to turn her head to the side so that she could look at Shinji. "Just to remind you, there is to be no peeking." The door then closed behind her, leaving Shinji by himself.

At the moment Shinji was in what could be called, shock. That was the first time he has ever saw her smile since meeting the red headed girl. And to Shinji, she was absolutely pretty. Now if only she could keep that smile on her face for the rest of her life. Shinji then sat back onto the very same bed that Asuka had been complaining into earlier and laid down with a soft smile on his face. 'I never would have thought that working at Nerv would put me into a situation like this. Not that it is a bad one. Far from it actually. I really would not mind it if we could spend more than five days together.' All of a sudden Shinji had to stop himself. 'There it was again, this feeling that was coming from the back of his mind. Almost as if something was trying to push its way to the front of his mind so that he could remember it. But for some reason every time he tries to grab a hold of that feeling it starts to recede back into the depths of his mind.

He was then brought out of his thought by the door to the bathroom opening and the sound of Asuka's voice. "Shinji. Sorry to keep you waiting. I am all freshened up."

Asuka walked out of the bathroom in nothing but a towel that was wrapped around her body, that was only being held together by one of her hands, while the other one was drying her still some what damp hair. The towel itself came up high enough that Shinji could get a look at her nice long legs, that showed that it seemed that she was keeping her self fit. Surprisingly for Shinji, Asuka struck what would be seen as a somewhat seductive pose. "So Shinji, what do you think of my body."

But unfortunately for Shinji, his mouth was not working properly at the moment. Even though he should not be all that surprised by now when it comes to the way that Asuka reacts. But seeing her in nothing but a towel shut his brain off for the moment. Plus looking at Asuka the way that she is right now, was not such a bad thing his Shinji's book.

Even Asuka could tell that her little plan to make him speechless had worked. It also did make her feel better about herself, now that she knows that her body could make him react like this. She then decided to push the envelope a little bit further by leaning over the bed with the towel ever so slightly, revealing some of her still growing beasts. Now, she was trying to reign in on her own blush that was trying to make it self known on her face. Of course, Shinji was already blushing like mad at the moment, well that and another thing was also trying to make itself known on him too.

So in the most seductive voice that Asuka could manage she decided to speak. "You know... my breasts have come in nicely. How about it? Wanna see the real thing?"

Shinji, without knowing nodded his head. Almost as if it was done automatically. But for Asuka, it made her feel happy on the inside. So with a slow move of her hand, she starts to pull away the towel. But for Shinji, all of his hopes and dreams were suddenly flushed down the toilet. For the reason for this is because under the towel that Asuka had on, was none other than a pair of short shorts and a tank top.

"Just Kidding!" Laughed Asuka. Who was struggling to catch her breath at how much she was laughing. Especially at the face that Shinji was making. "Look at your face! You're blushing right up to your ears!"

But Shinji could not let her have the last laugh. So with one look around the room he notices something and he smiles. He then turned his head back to the red head, who was still on the ground laughing. "Not that I would have mind seeing breasts, especially since you offered too. But I would bet that it would be just like Misato to be watching us with a surveillance camera."

It seemed that that had done the trick as Asuka let out a loud and shocked, "What!" She then started to look around the room for said surveillance camera. "No way, where?! Where's the camera?!" Shinji could only laugh at the way that Asuka a acting. It would seem that this whole situation would not be all that bad.

The next day both, inside some sort of training room, Shinji and Asuka were listening to Misato as they looked over the instruction that were given too them. "Now, what you are looking at is the choreography to the dance you're going to practice. You're going to memorize this by heart."

Both of the teens could only look at Misato with dead panned expressions at what they had just been told. "A dance?" Both of them asked at the same exact time.

Though Misato only smiled at what they had just done. "See! You are already synchronized with each other." But the only answer she received was two blank stares. Misato then turned a little bit more serious. "The enemy shares one mind with two bodies, so it's vital you two learn to move in unison. Memorizing an attack pattern based on music is the quickest way to master perfect harmony, we've only got four days, remember?"

It was at this moment that Kaji decided to make his self known by walking through the open door. "I chose the music and did the choreography, by the way." He then walked up and stood beside of Misato.

Who, by the way, had the face of someone that they had just come face to face with a person that they really did not want to be around. while on the other hand there seemed to be another part that almost seemed like she was enjoying his presence. "I can do this by myself." To which Kaji only replied by batting her shoulder. After brushing off his hand, Misato walked over towards the tape player and pressed the button. "Lets practice the first part then. Listen carefully." She then waited for Asuka and Shinji to get into the first position of the dance. Once both of them were ready she said., "Begin!"

More Than A Few Hours Later

Both Shinji and Asuka were heading back to their room now that their training was over for today. And from what Shinji has learned today was that he could not dance. Both of them were having a light conversation about the training when all of a sudden, they see the Commander walking towards the both of them.

Right when he was in front of the two teens the Commander stops to address them. "How's it going?" He asked. But his question was only directed on how they were doing in their training.

"Just fine Sir. We'll definitely win four days from now!" Said a happy Asuka. She was trying to be a little bit more respectfully after what had happened the last time she had met the Commander.

"I see. I'' be looking forward to it." He then started to walk down the hallway and away from the two teens. But he did give at least a glance towards Shinji, which meant hi in his own way.

However, to Asuka, it seemed that both father and son did not get along all to well.

Now both Shinji and Asuka were back in their room. And Asuka had just came out of the shower, already dressed, (To Shinji's disappointment) while he was laying on his bed. "I can't believe Misato insisted we listen to this music even at night." Asuka said, while the same music that was used during their training played in the background. When Asuka sat down on the bed, she noticed the face that Shinji was making. She then remembered that earlier neither Shinji or his father said anything to each other. So she could only come up with one conclusion. "So, do you and your father not get a long or something?" She tried not to make her question sound like she was being mean to him. It was just an honest question.

For his part, Shinji knew that she was not being snooty at the moment, especially since her tone of voice was that of curiosity and was there a little bit of worry too. But he could not really tell all that much on that last one though. "Its not that we don't get a long. Its just that there is nothing there between us. Sure he is my father, but I do not consider him to be one." A moment later he tries to put a smile on his face to lighten up the mood a little. "So, what about your father? Do you and your father get along?"

"I don't have a father." Came her quick answer.

Shinji was a little bit confused by that remark. "What do you mean? If you don't mind me asking."

Asuka took a drink of the can of tea that she had been holding. Once she finished it she put it in the trash can that was located right beside of the dresser. After the can was disposed of, she turns around to answer the question that Shinji just asked. However, she was using the time that it took her to finish her drink and to throw it away to decide if she should tell him. But like before, when she would pile up the reasons of why she should open herself up to him, all of the answers she got were the same. He could be trusted when it came to stuff like this. So with as much courage as she could muster up, while without looking nervous, she decides to tell Shinji something that she has not told anybody else.

"I never had one in the first place. Ever heard of a sperm bank?" When she turned to look at him she could see him nod while his face showed that he was putting all of his attention towards her. She could even see some of the sorrowfulness that was on his face. And it was because of that that she decided to continue. "My father was one of the sperm that my mother withdrew from the bank." She then looked down with a frown on her face. 'I was conceived in a test tube." However, Asuka could not help but slip back into her defensive personality. But this time she tried to make herself seem happy about the fact. "And listen! It wasn't just any sperm. My mother chose a very exclusive sperm bank. the donor passed a strict qualification test on academic background and character. Of course, the women who buy the sperm hae to be similarly qualified as well."

"And my father's was the best of them, from a genius scientist. So I was born through the combination of an elite sperm and an elite egg. Which means, I was chosen being, a special person."

Shinji for his part could only look at Asuka with a sad look on his face. He was not expecting to be giving such a descriptive explanation. Now though, he feels a little bit bad that he had asked the question. "I am sorry Asuka. If I would have known that it would bring back such memories then I wouldn't have asked."

Asuka was a little bit surprised that Shinji could see past her defensive personality and directly at how she was feeling on the inside. For some reason, it made her all warm on the inside, but she did not really understand herself when she felt this way around Shinji. "That's alright Shinji. Besides, it doesn't matter whether I have a father or not. If I was chosen from among many to become an Eva Pilot. . . and I fight and defeat the Angels. . . and if everyone acknowledges those accomplishments. . . then id be happy."

"Well Asuka, you might as well consider me one of those people that will acknowledge you. Because I will be doing that from here on out." Said Shinji with a smile on his face. And the smile only grew when he saw the look that came on Asuka's face.

It was only a few minutes later that the bother of them decided that it was time to head for bed. While Shinji fell asleep not to long after his head hit the pillow, Asuka was almost about to fall asleep when she realized something, and it made her smile.

She has finally found someone who will acknowledge her.

Well here is another chapter of this story.

So please leave me some reviews.

Until Next Time.
