Meant for One Another
A/N: Chapter 9 is here, knock yourself out. Hey! I'm really happy right now - I just bought the "Ayanami Raising Project"! It's great, except for the fact that is in Japanese, but I have a dictionary so no biggi! Anyway, just wanted to spread the joy…now on with the fic!

Daylight poured in through Shinji Ikari's window, spreading over his face and causing his eyes to slowly open. He had slept facing the wall and as he yawned and turned over his eyes met with what he thought was fire on his bed. As he was about to scream he noticed that it wasn't hot, on closer examination he realized that it was hair. He gulped.
'How many people do I know in the whole city that has red hair?' he thought. 'Only one…'
"ASUKA!?" he screamed.
The mound of red shifted and the girl got up, gave a big yawn and scratched her head.
"Huh…?"
"Asuka! What…What are you doing in my room…and my bed!?" he shrieked not in anger but horror, confusion, and embarrassment. Asuka looked at him sleepily and yawned again, however, she stopped in mid yawn and looked around her.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she screamed. "WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING HERE!?"
"That's what I want to know." Shinji said.
She turned on the boy cowering under his covers.
"You!" she yelled, "You moved me in here after I fell asleep didn't you? You sick pervert!"
(A/N: A pic of Asuka acsuing Shinji- pic 11)
"Wh..What!?" he stammered. "I wouldn't do that! Besides, I think you'd notice if you were being carried out of a bed, across the hall and into another."
"Ha! See!? You had it all planned out! Taking advantage of a sick girl!" she yelled and slapped him across the face. "Sick perverted baka!!"
"Ouch! Hey!" he rubbed his cheek. "I'm not guilty! I didn't do anything to you yesterday when you were out of it, nor at night!"
"Then explain how I got in here!" she said pinning him on the bed. "Cuss I didn't walk in here by myself!"
"Actually Asuka, that's exactly what happened."
The two teens turned at the voice, Misato Katsurigi stood at the door dressed in a tight yellow t-shirt and extra short jean-shorts and an evil grin on her face.
"What did you say?" Asuka asked as Shinji whimpered from under her hold.
"After I got back last night and had dinner, I was gonna go to bed when I saw you walking out of your room and into Shinji's. I went in to see what was going on and found you in his bed fast asleep." Misato said coming into the room. "I of course, tried to get you up and out of here but you'd just turn over and say how you want to be with your 'Shinji-kun'. I couldn't wake you."
Asuka knew about her sleep walking problems but since they hadn't occurred for a few years now she thought she had gotten over it. Apparently, that was a mistake. Asuka blushed a shade of red that was so deep it could easily put her Eva's paint job to shame.
"I thought you wanted Shinji so badly," Misato said teasingly. "Why are you choking him?"
Asuka released the gasping Shinji from her hold and he fell off the bed.
"ow…" he said in between gasps.
"Did you two have fun?" Misato asked innocently. "Should I book an appointment with Dr. Akagi for a pregnancy test?"
"MISATO!!" the two yelled while each out doing the other in turning red as a tomato.
She laughed and walked out of the room still laughing her head off.
Shinji and Asuka exchanged glances and Asuka finally stood up.
"Erm..sorry for…" she began.
"The accusation, the choking, the invasion of privacy and the shock?" he asked.
"Emm..yeah…"
"It's alright." He said.
"Oh, did you enjoy it then?" Asuka asked in the same tone Misato had used.
"What?" Shinji asked.
"Sleeping wit-I mean, 'next' to me."
"NO!! Oh…er..a little?" he said, not being able to lie that well.
Asuka bent down and tapped him on the cheek lightly with her palm.
"Knew it, little hentai pervert." She said smiling. She left after that to clean up for the coming day.
'Oh god,' Shinji thought as he breath a sigh of relief. 'At lease she didn't notice that my little friend woke up.'
Indeed, part of his pants was bulging. Shinji sat back on his bed.
'Well, at least now I know that she likes me…that make things a little easier.' He thought.
Breakfast was subdued, as far as the two pilots went, Misato was still laughing too hard.
"Shinji." Asuka said suddenly.
"Yeah?"
"Do not, I repeat, do not, tell anyone about what happened this morning." She said seriously.
"Oh…as you wish…" he said, but inside he felt uneasy.
'Why is she so scared of others knowing…is she afraid of the rumors and gossip? Or…' he thought 'Is she ashamed to admit she likes me…am I that bad?'
Asuka told Shinji to keep quiet about the incident for fear of what others would say and the negative attention she'd get. She liked attention, but not when it involves the entire female population telling her to stay off Shinji, who sort of had a fan club at school. Not that he was aware of it. And she could just imagine harassment and annoyance the guys who wanted to date her would cause. She stole a look at Shinji, he had stopped eating and look really sad, sadder than was normal for him, which was bordering on depression. She wondered if her request had done something but she couldn't imagine what.
Little Asuka: You are cold-hearted aren't you? You made him feel unwanted and unworthy of your recognition. Isn't that your deepest fear?
Asuka: No! Not you again!! I don't need my past telling me what to do!
Little Asuka: The past always stays with the person…
Asuka: Get away!
Little Asuka: Why did you do that to him?
Asuka: What did I do?
Little Asuka disappeared and reappeared in Asuka's face.: You made him feel worthless.
Asuka: No! I just…didn't want people talking…
Little Asuka: No, you lie. You are putting your fears on him to make yourself feel better.
Asuka: Bullshit!
Little Asuka: Oh really?
Asuka: Yeah!
The little Asuka faded from view with a laugh.
Asuka: Hey! What the hell…
Asuka: I didn't mean it…honest….
Voice: Asuka?
Misato "Asuka?"
Asuka jerked out of her daydreaming.
"Yeah?" she asked.
"You were out of it for a while…" Misato said concerned.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." She said.
Misato looked unsure.
"Well, ok." She said finally. "But you stay at home today and get some rest, we don't want that cold to come back now do we?"
Asuka agreed and Shinji left to change and go to school.
Asuka watched him go.
"Aren't you gonna go tell him?" Misato asked.
"Huh?" Asuka asked.
"Well, your last comment to him obviously had some negative impact…that you didn't intend." The woman said.
"How did you…" Asuka asked in astonishment.
"They don't put just anyone as director of operations of Nerv, I am very perceptive."
Asuka looked back at Shinji's door.
"Go on…" Misato urged. "I'll be going to work now."
Misato said that to give the two some privacy and left, Asuka went to his door and knocked.
"What?" was the answer.
He sounded like he was a little angry. Asuka bit her lip and went in.
"Shinji," she said, he looked at her. She stared into his dark blue eyes, he stared into her sky blue ones. "I…I didn't mean…earlier…I didn't mean that you are a disgrace to me…it's just that….well, you saw those stooges yesterday. Think of the uproar…"
"I understand, it's ok Asuka." He said. "Em…I need to change…"
Asuka nodded and left the room.
Shinji put on his school uniform and grabbed his school bag, as he went out he waved goodbye to him roommate who returned it from the living room.
Asuka slumped in her seat, TV was getting pointless. She sighed and went to the phone as she dialed she realized that her friends were all at school.
"Verdamnit!" she cursed.
She thought for a moment and remembered something that she could do. Asuka went into her room and dressed comfortably, scribbling a note to Misato or Shinji she left the apartment for the Nerv testing grounds.
Meanwhile…
Shinji walked alone to school until he met Toji at the entrance.
"Hey man, how's our own Eva-01 pilot doing today huh?" he greeted.
"I'm good." Shinji answered.
They went inside the classroom together, Shinji noticed Rei staring out the window, Kensuke filming her, and Hikari trying to stop him but being prevented by the fact that there was a group of boys in front of her desk hitting on her. This caught Toji's immediate attention.
"Bastards." He said and went over there.
Shinji sighed and went to his desk, sitting down, he powered up his terminal and checked to see if Asuka was online at home. She wasn't, so he pulled up his personal files and opened up his pictures folder. After checking to see if anyone was looking, he flipped through the pictures he had collected and scanned into the computer of Asuka. He smiled at the picture of her in an intensive volleyball match.
'She has such drive…unlike me…' he thought.
Just then a few of Hikari's would be Casanovas ran screaming by after Toji's successful attempt at breaking up the crowd. Shinji shut off his computer and the sensei came in at that moment. Shinji spent the whole day of class daydreaming about that morning, but he dared not breath a word to anyone.
Asuka had taken a taxi and charged it to Nerv, she went in past a guard who recognized her and saluted. She repeated the gesture and headed for the stables. Shadow was asleep, Pegasus was moving around restlessly in his stable and her own Lodernd was chewing on some hay.
"Hey boy." She said and stroked the animal's forehead, it neighed lightly. Asuka smiled and saddled up the horse and mounted. She had opened the gates and now she led her horse out for a bit of ridding. This particular Nerv testing ground was quite large, stretching all the way to some nearby hills. Asuka found a stream and rode along its banks up the hills, she rode to the top where she found a nice field overlooking the entire area. Keeping an eye on the Nerv buildings, she let Lodernd trot around and stretch his legs. After a while Lodernd slowed and stopped by the stream for a drink, Asuka looked around her and remembered how much she loved the feeling of riding in such a beautiful place.
Asuka led Lodernd to a nearby tree and tied him down, she sat near the stream and took a breath. She felt a lot better, this was better for her cold then being stuck in the apartment. Asuka felt peaceful and fell asleep there.
When school let out Shinji declined Toji and Kensuke's invitation to go to the arcade with them. He went directly home and wondered how Asuka's cold was. When he went in the apartment Pen-Pen waddled up to him, a yellow piece of paper under its wing.
"What's that Pen-Pen, and where's Asuka?"
"Wark!" it replied and held the paper behind its back.
Shinji laughed and dug around his bag and took out a chocolate bar left from his lunch.
"Here, now can I see it?"
Pen-Pen happily took the treat and gave Shinji the note, it ran back to its fridge and shut the door tight behind it. Shinji turned his attention to the note, the Kanji was poor but Shinji could just make it out. It read:
Dear Misato or Shinji,
Went riding at Nerv Test grounds. Be back later, I have my cell with me.
Love,
Asuka L. Sorhyu
"Ah…" Shinji said and went out the door.
After some time Asuka was awakened by Lodernd's neighs. Asuka stretched and went over to pat Lodernd's mane, with that she mounted. Asuka pulled on the reins, Lodernd reared up and bolted towards the Nerv buildings. Asuka leaned down close to the beast and dug her heels in, she enjoyed the rush and had Lodernd charge straight to the barn. As she drew close the gates opened and Pegasus charged out, Shinji on its back. Asuka gasped and stopped Lodernd. Shinji rode up to Asuka and smiled.
"Got your note." He said.
"Is school out already?" Asuka asked. "Have I been out here that long?"
"I guess…" Shinji said and moved Pegasus a little closer. "Still want to stay out for a little longer?"
"That sounds good." Asuka said and the two rode together to the hill Asuka had visited earlier.
They stopped at the top and watched as the sun set on Tokyo-3. Shinji motioned to Asuka and led his horse to a tree and tied it down, Asuka followed suit. They went to the edge of the clearing and sat down on the grass.
"How do you feel now?" he asked.
"My cold? Much better, thanks." Asuka said.
Shinji looked back at the reddish-orange setting sun.
(A/N: TO see the two watching the sunset go to- Pic 12)
"Beautiful, isn't it?" Asuka asked.
"Yeah…like your hair…" Shinji said.
"Oh?" Asuka asked, a little surprised, but pleased at the same time. "Really? Is my hair that pretty?"
'Crap! Did I say that aloud!?' Shinji panicked.
"Uh…of course." Shinji said quickly, hoping he said the right thing.
"Why thank you Shinji." Asuka said, stroking her hair.
The wind began to pick up and Asuka took off her neural-connecter hair clips, her hair swept behind her and Shinji watched mesmerized. Asuka saw him and blushed.
"Can't take your eyes off huh?" Asuka asked.
Shinji shook his head.
"Just keep them above the neck you hear?" she said with a grin.
Shinji's mouth opened slightly but no sounds cam out, he tried again.
"Auska…do you think…that we could…." He began.
She put a finger on his lips.
"Maybe, but now I just want to sit here and watch the sunset." She said smiling.
Shinji nodded and moved a little closer. She didn't seem to mind, in fact, she started to lean her head on his shoulder.
"No funny stuff, or things won't happen the way it could." She said,
"Of course Asuka." He replied and sat with her on that hill until the sun was completely gone from view.
