Wow, here it is, Chapter nine.
Well then. Life just keeps getting worse you know? Well actually, I have some good news... MY SUMMER JOB IS UP! I now have some more free time, but not much more. I can only write on Fridays and Wednesdays nights now. That's why it has been nearly a month since I have updated. Well, I think it's sort of funny I originally planned to update weekly.
Okay here's an update on the situation. Out house's main computer finally crashed. It was a 2003 gateway. My PC that I use is a 98 gateway but has XP on it. So now, everybody is flocking t o my PC except my sister who has the laptop. Of course, since she downloads tons of shit on that thing, and nobody likes the laptop unless they are on the road, they all go t my PC. Now, my brother is almost constantly in my room on ym PC looking at 1 of three things.
1-His Xbox 360 dash board. He likes to show off his legit forty in Halo 2, and likes to screw with his friends.
2-On IGN or something.
3-Being emo and looking at this girl he plays with MySpace account. I swear I get sick just from hearing those two flirt all the time I am in their party over live. I call her his girlfriend, and I think he actually likes it, but that's a different story...
My mom is always on Pogo, WAIT! Okay guys, as much as I may hate the fact that they will not allow me to view this sight, I still love my mom, well, because, she is my mom. I would appreciate it if you didn't call her a bitch amongst other things. Though I can be mad at times, I still HAVA to love her just because of everything she blesses me with. (Xbox 360, seven foot long ship models-RC-, my own room, cable in my room, this PC I am using, Football Tickets for my football team! There is a lot more) So that's enough on that.
Okay, it seems that they are letting their guard down. I check to see where each PC has been, and nobody has selected the router. It also doesn't matter if they do, because I know the password. Also, enough of the move out stuff. I'm 17, and don't plan on moving out until I'm ready to by a house. They say stay as long as I like as long as I am doing well in college, paying bills and stuff, and so on. So that is NOT an option for me.
Well then, tell me if you think that my writing is getting better or worse. I personally think this is a pretty good chapter. Also, I have a plan for everything mentioned from Koenigseggs CCRs, to Andrea and Roland, and everything else in between!
Well then, enough of my babbling go on and read the story! Of course, my common WAFF alert, though the waff is done to a yellow level out of red. (U.S. terror alert system I'm talking about)
Time for an update on every character of Evangelion! It has been more than a two weeks since the last angel attack, and life is back to normal. Misato was, less than pleased shall I say, about Asuka's nightgown. But Asuka didn't give a shit, and that's all Misato needed to hear. Hikari and Toji are gradually becoming closer. Just yesterday, he pecked her on the cheek, IN PUBLIC, and that was a BIG step for them. Kensuke is still left out, and sort of glad in that case. Of course, that's a good thing, because not a girl in school would want to be with the military obsessed freak. Gendo is still a bastard, BUT, is doing something very important down in Antarctica at this very moment. Naoko and Yui are dead, along with Kyoko. Makato, the bridge bunny, still doesn't have anybody, just like Kensuke. Maya and Shigeru are in the same boat. Rei is still an emotionless freak. The men from SEELE are busy plotting the end of the world, while Pen Pen is taking a nap. Kaji is trying to find out the truth, while Misato is stuck with loads of paper work! Well then, on with the story! And once again this chapter has been pre-read by Peacemaker of the Phoenix Soul!
Chapter Nine! Love and Bad Memories!
"Ah damn it..." Misato moaned.
"What is it now?" Ritsuko asked.
"I'm bored and tired of all of this paper work, that's what." she told her. The doctor started to laugh slightly at her comrade.
"Well, at least there isn't another angel, so you shouldn't be complaining too bad..." Ritsuko never got to finish.
"(ALL STAFF PLEASE REPORT TO THE COMMAND BRIDGE. A STATE OF EMERGENCY HAS BEEN DECLARED. MOVING TO BATLLE ALERT STAGE 3)"
"Well then, I guess I spoke too..."
"Not another damn word!"
WALKING HOME FROM SCHOOL
After Rei left with some men, Asuka, Shinji, Toji, and Hikari started walking home from school together. The process had become routine, though it was slightly different when Rei was there. Also, in case you are wondering, Kensuke left with his uncle to see an air show in Germany, so he will be missing from this chapter. If you actually like Kensuke, stop reading now. Yeah, that's what I thought, you wouldn't stop. Now read! I like to control you all like meat puppets! Eat paste! Urhem...
"So, stooge two is away in Germany eh? Maybe he'll get mugged or killed there." Asuka said, sounding hopeful.
"Asuka! That was mean! You know that he is their good friend!" Hikari said.
"No sense of humor..." Asuka mumbled.
"I truly doubt that you were joking Asuka." Shinji said from beside her.
"Maybe I was, maybe I wasn't. You'll never know." she smirked while looking at him. Sighing in defeat, they went on their merry way. They kept on walking until they got to Hikari's apartment complex, which was the first stop.
"I'll see you three later. Bye Asuka, Shinji. Goodbye Toji." she said with all of the innocence in the world. Her voice still made Toji blush, for reasons unknown.
"Um, erm, good bye Hikari." he said, still blushing quite profusely. Hikari shut her door and walked inside. Toji let out a huge breath when he heard the metal slide shut. The roaring laughter of his other two companions followed.
"What!"
"You just look so funny! You still are so nervous!" Asuka managed to get out. Instead of an outburst like Asuka expected, she just heard a sigh. Shinji also apparently heard it because he also stopped laughing.
"What's wrong Toji?" Shinji asked.
"That's the thing. I'm still too nervous around her. I try to loosen up, but I just am. How are you and Asuka so comfortable around each other?" he asked.
"Well, I've known Asuka for most of my life Toji. I was also as nervous as hell when I first saw her, and I was only like, five!" Shinji said. "But I know Asuka sure wasn't nervous."
"I guess that would help..." Toji said with his head still low.
"I can't believe I'm doing this, but just stick in there. You'll wind down eventually." Asuka said. Toji lifted his head and looked Asuka in the eye. The girl he still didn't really like at all, but tolerated for Shinji, just gave him advice! Wow!
"You know what? You two are right! Thanks a lot!" he said happily.
"Sure thing. You walking home with us?" Shinji asked.
"I would, but have an appointment with my sister." Toji said. Shinji looked at him, his face suddenly becoming a bit sad.
"Tell her I hope she feels well soon." he sad with a sad smile on his face. Toji looked his friend in the eye and nodded.
"Sure thing Shinji. Just remember she doesn't blame you. Bye now." Toji said as he walked off towards the direction of the Tokyo-3 medical care unit. Shinji and Asuka started to walk home when Asuka's hand found Shinji's.
"Say, Shinji, are you feeling alright? You seem to be a bit sadder lately." Asuka noted. Still walking, she continued. "Is it something that happened?"
"Well, the anniversary of my mother's death is coming up in a few weeks. I guess... I just... still miss her. I mean, I always do, but its next month. This will be my first time visiting her grave since I left for Germany... I'm just not sure how to react." he said. After hearing this, Asuka also dropped her head.
"I'm sorry Shinji. I totally forgot. Let's just try to forget about it like we always did as kids." she said. Shinji and Asuka each remember very vividly about the times in their childhood that involved them talking about their mothers. Shinji still knows exactly how the day he knew how Asuka's mother died happened. It was a beautiful summer day...
Suburbs outside Berlin, Germany-Asuka and Shinji...AGE SEVEN
Asuka and Shinji were playing with some friends on the playground when the parents of some friends called them over. This was the spark that lit the fuse.
"Hey Asuka, what happened to your parents?" Shinji asked. Asuka stopped swinging and looked at the ground.
"I'd rather not talk about it..." she replied.
"It's okay Asuka. We know each other pretty good. You can tell me. I promise I won't tell." he assured her.
"I said no! Leave me alone!" she screamed at him, causing him to startle.
"What wrong Asuka!" he asked.
"I don't want to remember!" she yelled.
"Remember what?" he asked.
"Fine, you want to know! I found my Mama hanging from a rope in her room! After that, papa left me! Got it! I found her dead! Happy? Now leave me alone! I never want to see you again!" Asuka yelled as she ran into the woods behind the playground, tears streaming down her face.
"Asuka!" Shinji got up and ran after her. He ran about one hundred feet when he saw her. She was sitting up against a tree, her knees touching her chest. She looked up and gave him a look that could kill.
"Go away! I never want to see you again!" She yelled, causing some tears to swell up in his eyes.
"B-b-but Asuka, I know what it feels like..." he said, causing her to stand up.
"Oh really? What, your mom hanged herself in front of you too?" she scorned.
"No... the giant robot sh-she was working on killed her... I- (sniff) I saw her face when she disappeared. I never saw her body or anything... I'm sorry I made you do that, I'm really sorry, I know how it is. I understand if you never want to see me again..." he said; head as low as it could go. "I'll go tell mama and papa that I'm leaving..." he started walking away, leaving Asuka all alone.
'He also saw his mama die... I'm just like him... wait! I don't want to be alone!'
"Shinji!" Asuka called out. He turned around and looked at her. "I-, I'm sorry! I didn't know." she walked up to him and looked over him. "Shinji lets make a promise right now." she told him.
"What kind of promise?" he asked.
"Let's promise never to bring up our old family ever again. Let's never tell anyone what happened. Okay?" she said. He looked at her and nodded.
"I promise." he said, and they both hugged, and shook hands.
To this day, nobody besides themselves, military staff, medical staff, Roland and Andrea Langely know what happened to their parents. Of course, nobody but SEELE, Gendo, Kouzou, and Akagi know about Yui's real death. (Okay, in my fic, Shinji has some memories about the day Unit 01 absorbed Yui but he still doesn't know that the robot was Unit 01. DON'T KILL ME!)
END FLASH BACK
"It's okay Asuka. I'll have to face her sooner or later." Shinji told her. "Lets just go home for now." So the rest of the walk went in silence, a very uncomfortable one at that may I say! They arrived home around five thirty and expected Misato to be out. Pen-pen was waiting for them at the front door so he could be fed.
"Ah, you hungry pen?" Shinji asked as he walked over to the fridge. He pulled out a fish and started to cook it up. While the one side was cooking, he looked around to see if he could make anything for himself and Asuka.
"Damn, nothing but instant noodles and beer..." Shinji mumbled. "I guess I have to go shopping."
"What was that Shinji?" Asuka asked as she walked out of her room, which was now Shinji's. She had released her hair from the A10 connectors and let her magnificent red mane flow behind her. She changed into a pair of casual jeans and a loose fitting yellow tank top.
"Oh, well, we need to go shopping. But, I'm a little short on cash. We'll have to wait." he told her.
"But then what are we going to eat?" she asked, slightly annoyed that Misato can't keep anything but beer and instant noodles in the house.
"Well, we could go out to eat. A quick flash of our NERV cards and they would probably let us in for free." he said.
"Sounds like a plan, but where would we go?" Asuka asked.
"Well, what do you have a taste for?" Shinji asked.
"Well, I REALLY have a taste for a panini!" (A panini is a sandwich with meat, usually chicken, with vegetables, and cheese. It is served on hard, toasted flatbread. It taste as good as hell! ... well, I would imagine hell doesn't taste good, so, it just taste REALLY good.)
PATIO OF A REASTAURAUNT
"Mmmmmmmmmm, this is so good!" Asuka moaned as she took another bite of her sandwich. She had gotten the panini with red pepper, chicken, and feta cheese. (Sorry, I love those things! Just had one for dinner actually...)
"Yeah, I really didn't get much choice for food with my uncle. I almost forgot how good food like this tastes." Shinji said. He had gotten the same thing as her.
"Yeah, I'm still glad they said they wouldn't charge us." Out of the corner of her eye, Asuka spotted two familiar faces. "Hey, is that Toji and Hiakri?" she asked. Shinji looked over, and sure enough, the two ere sitting there.
"Hmmmm, I wonder why they didn't tell us that they were going on a date." Shinji said.
"Me too! I thought I told Hiakri to tell me these things so I could help her out!" Asuka whined. They other couple still didn't seem to notice Asuka and Shinji so the two Langleys decided to stay put and watch. Toji was still as stiff as a board when she started to talk. Gradually, they watched as he loosened up.
"Hmm, so maybe that's why he wanted some advice..." Shinji observed.
"Yeah, maybe he decided to take Hikari on a date without her even knowing.' Asuka noticed.
"Well, at least he seems to be getting more comfortable..." Shinji said. He looked down at the table and saw a waiter putting a bill down... wait, a bill?
"Um, waiter, the manager said we didn't have to pay..." Shinji said. The waiter obviously just got there. His uniform was still perfect.
"Sir, I'm not sure what type of game you and your girlfriend play, but we NEVER let anyone get a freebe." he said, in quite a, erm, superior manner. Of course, we all know Asuka doesn't like superiors.
"Listen here ass! We are the pilots of Evangelions Unit 01 and 02! You make us pay and I'll find your house and crush it with my Unit 02's foot!" Asuka said, just loud enough for all of the people on the patio to hear. Apparently, so did the manager. He came out and approached the table.
"Is there a problem?" he asked.
"You bet there is! You said it was on the house, but that moron over there said we have to pay!" Asuka said, pointing to the now frightened waiter. The manager turned to look at him.
"Never let this happen again. If somebody shows you their NERV ID, they eat for free." he turned back to them. "Now then, I hope you enjoyed your meal. Come back soon." he said with a bow.
"Don't worry, we will. Thank you for your services." Shinji said, also bowing. The two walked out, leaving Hikari and Toji who had watched the whole thing.
"Man, I guess Shinji and Asuka do take advantage of being pilots." Toji spoke first.
"Yeah, I wonder if that's how Shinji can afford her shopping trips." Hikari said.
"Well, I think that people should give em free stuff. After seeing Shinji in that entry plug, I always feel bad for him when I hear the angel alerts." he told her.
"Yeah, so where were we?"
Back at the Katsuragi/Sohryu/Ikari Resident
When Asuka and Shinji got to their apartment complex, it was around nine thirty. They would usually see a blue Alpine parked in front, but today, there was no such car.
"Hm, did Misato find a new parking spot?" Shinji asked. Also noticing the missing car, Asuka shrugged.
"I highly doubt that. Let's go see if she is home yet. She may have gone out drinking with doctor Akagi." Asuka suggested. Nodding in agreement, the two made their way up to their floor and got to their door. Shinji swiped his card, giving him access to the apartment. Seeing that there were no shoes, he decided to go check the message machine.
'Hi kids! It's me. I have to stay over time for some work. I'll be at NERV until tomorrow! Get to bed as soon as you get home. You may have a rough day tomorrow. Don't burn down the apartment or give me any grandchildren! See ya later!' Shinji stared at the machine for another three seconds before deleting the message.
"I swear Misato..." he mumbled to himself while walking over to Asuka who was watching TV. It was already nine thirty so going to bed wouldn't be that bad.
"Hey there Shinji. So what did the message say?" Asuka asked.
"That was Misato. She told us to get to bed; we may have a rough day tomorrow. She also told us not to burn down the place or make any grandchildren." he replied casually.
"Well then, I could figure that much from Misato. I just have to get ready for bed, see you in our room." Asuka told him as she walked off towards the bathroom. He walked over to his bedroom and laid down in bed, patiently waiting for Asuka. He heard his door creek open and turned to look at Asuka who was dressed in the night gown.
'Wow'
"Well then, let's get going to bed." Asuka said as she climbed next to him. She used his chest as a pillow as she wrapped her legs around him. "Goodnight Shinji..." Asuka said with a yawn. Shinji ran his fingers through her silky red mane, causing her to look up at him.
"Goodnight Asuka, I love you." he whispered.
"I love you to." she replied lovingly. Asuka soon fell asleep, letting her rhythmic breathing draw him to sleep also.
"Good...night..."
Location Unknown
"all staff prepare for the test... will begin operations in t minus two minutes..." the message repeated itself three more times before stopping. A very young Shinji was leaning up against the window, looking at the giant robot that mommy and daddy were talking about.
"Wow!" the excited young child said.
"Who let a child in her?" an annoyed voice said. behind a desk in the back of the room, a man dressed in black spoke.
"He is mine Akagi. He is here to watch over the experiment." Gendo said.
"He still should be watched more carefully. What would happen if he pressed a button or something?" Naoko Akagi suggested.
"Don't worry," a female voice came over the comm, "my Shinji will be alright, right Shinji?"
"Yes mommy! When will you drive the big robot?" Shinji asked.
"Soon enough dear, and when I make sure it works, you may also pilot it too." Yui told him. Mechanics were getting ready for the first synchronization test of unit 01 while Shinji and his mother talked.
"T minus thirty seconds. All staff, please report to your stations... I repeat..." Yui was in the plug, looking over the controls. 'Okay, you created this; this is to show Shinji how bright the future will be...' Yui thought.
"Ikari! Tell your child to leave those wires alone! Why did you even bring him here?" Naoko Akagi asked.
"To show him how bright the future will be." Yui replied.

"Synchronization rising... 10 percent, 17 percent, 45 percent, 8- whoa! What's going on! Synch at 120, 130, 40, 230!" The mechanic cried.
"377, 379,389, 398, 399, 400!"
"AHHHHHHHH!" Yui cried.
"MOMMY!" Shinji saw his mother's face contort in pain and then disappear right in front of him. Shinji's world started to spin until he blacked out.
Later, Location still unknown
Shinji started to stir when he felt himself suddenly feel quite chill. He opened his eyes to see nothing but blackness. Every direction, nothing but the cold black abyss. Looking down, he saw a chair.
"What the hell?" he was now fourteen again. Not really knowing what to do, he sat down in the chair. A spotlight came down on him, and the questions began.
'Who are you?' asked a voice.
"I am Shinji Ikari." he replied.
'Why are you here?' it asked.
"I don't know. Who are you?" Shinji asked.
'I am you, as you am I.'
"What do you mean?" he asked.
'I too am Shinji Ikari.' another Shinji, only this one with red eyes and white hair appeared.
"You aren't me!" he yelled.
'Yes I am. I am your mind. I carry the deep memories that you can not remember.'
"What does that have to do with any of this?"
'Nothing, you asked who I was. I know you are wondering why you are here.' the other Shinji asked. The real Shinji nodded his head. 'You are hear because you are having a nightmare. I can't say much more. You will also not remember any of this. So don't bother asking any more questions. You will awake in a few moments, but your mind will still haunt you until you wake up.'
Suddenly, he was in the light room again. This time however, Asuka was there. She was on the screen.
"No don't do it!"
"Synch has started, 45, 78..."
"No Asuka! Don't start it! Why aren't you listening?" he asked.
'She can not hear you. You are like a ghost.'
"What? Is this like a message of things to come?" Shinji asked voice full of terror.
'No, it is just your mind trying to scare you.'
"NO! IT HURTS!" Shinji heard Asuka scream.
"ASUKA!"
Shinji and Asuka's room
"SHINJI!" Asuka screamed.
"NO!" His eyes were full of tears as he shot up from the bed. "ASUKA DON'T DO IT!" Reaching out of instinct, he grabbed the closest thing and hugged it tight, that closest thing was Asuka.
"Shinji, what happened? Did you have a bad dream?" Asuka asked while rubbing his back, trying to calm him down.
"I-and you- the EVA was going to kill you, just like the robot my mom worked on killed her..." he sobbed into Asuka's shoulder.
"Shhhhhh, the EVA won't kill me. It's just a nightmare. I take it this is probably happened because I brought up the subject..." Asuka said voice full of remorse. Not getting an answer, she went on. "Shinji, you don't have to worry. It was just a dream. Your mind is just trying to scare you." He looked up and frowned.
"I know, but it just seemed so real. I couldn't even help you. I don't want to be useless. I want to protect you Asuka!" Shinji exclaimed.
"Shinji, I know you do, and you will. It was just a dream. Remember our promise, just forget about it and we won't bring it up again." Asuka soothed him. "I'm not sure what would help, but I'll stay by you until I die." she whispered.
"Okay Asuka..." shinji said quietly. He waited a moment before going on. "Could you hold me, please? I know that the guy normally hold the girl, but..." before Shinji could say another word to explain, Asuka wrapped her arms around him.
"Goodnight, Shinji..." she whispered.
"Goodnight, Asuka..."
Morning- Asuka and Shinji's Room
(A special state of emergency has been declared. All civilians please report to the nearest shelter. I repeat...)
"What! Why do these angels always have to choose such a convenient time to drop in?" Asuka said, sarcasm dripping out of her mouth. "Come on! We have to get ready!"
"Okay! I'm coming!" Shinji yelled. He quickly got dressed and headed for the front door where Asuka was waiting for him. They were about to open it when it slid open itself.
"Pilots Sohryu and Ikari, please follow us. A breakfast has been prepared in the van." a man in black said. 'Must be section 2' they each thought.
"Okay, we'll be right down." Asuka said. She ran back really fast and picked up her bag. Who knows what she would do after the battle? Shopping? Swimming? Arcade? A girl has to be prepared! They walked downstairs and saw the black van with the door open. They each stepped inside and saw the breakfast. it was nothing much, just some miso soup and a piece of fruit. They each sat down and waited until they got to the geo-front. The truck got onto the elevator and started its trip down.
"Wow, it still amazes me." Shinji said while he looked out the window.
"What?" Asuka asked.
"The geo-front. How did we build it? I mean, what happened to all of the stone and dirt they took out?" he asked.
"Hmmmm, good question. May be the ocean." Asuka suggested.
"Maybe, but I still think that would be fishy. I mean, how did they do this all in secret?" he asked. Asuka thought for a moment but couldn't think of anything.
"You got me there, not even I know. You'll just have to ask Misato later. Maybe if she's drunk or buzzed, she'll tell you." Asuka suggested. Currently, the woman spoken of is down at command HQ, being very annoyed by a certain angel up in space.
NERV Command HQ
"I swear I'm going to kill every last angel with my bare hands if they cause me any more paper work." Misato grumbled.
"Well then, you better start practicing. After seeing the damage this thing caused, I think it's going to leave a pretty big hole in the ground if we go along with your plan." Ritsuko said.
"Yeah, but it's the only plan we have. I know it's risky, but they have to do it." Misato reminded her. "So what are their chances of living again?"
"Twelve point one percent. I still think this is too risky Misato. If we were to lose an Evangelion..."
"If we don't, we will lose our lives." Misato said. Sighing in defeat, the evil doctor left to go get things ready. Misato looked down at the screen.
(Extremely Risky, advice different approach) the screen said.
"I would, but we have no choice."
Briefing Room
Rei, Asuka and Shinji were standing in their plug suits waiting for Misato to arrive. Rei was staying quiet as normal, but so were Asuka and Shinji. This was strange, because normally they would be talking in German before the mission that way the people at NERV wouldn't overhear their private conversations. Rei apparently noticed this.
"Why are you and Pilot Sohryu quiet today Pilot ikari? You are usually talking in a foreign language before a battle." Rei asked.
"I guess it's just some things that happened..." Shinji said quietly.
'Something is wrong, I can feel it... What if I let something happen to Asuka? What if my nightmare really is a sign of things to come?' Shinji thought terrified.
"Hello kids." Apparently, he had been so deep in thought, he didn't even notice Misato walk in. "okay, this angel is a tad bit different than others you have faced in the past." An image popped up, showing the massive size of it.
"Oh my god!" said Asuka.
"It's huge!" Shinji exclaimed.
"The angel is pretty much a living bomb. It is still inaccurate but we have a general idea of where it might land." Another screen popped up, showing a large circle that was almost as large as Tokyo-3.
"What! That's pretty much all of Tokyo-3!" Asuka shouted.
"We know. That is why we will be placing the three Evangelions in a strategic triangle around the city. The Evangelion closest to the drop zone will rush towards it and deploy its AT field. The other two units will then come and help with their own AT fields. One of you will stab the angel in its core, thus killing it." Misato finished.
"Wow that sounds dangerous. What are the odds of us living?" Shinji asked timidly.
"I don't know! But that doesn't matter. We will defeat this angel, and I'll treat you all to a steak dinner when you finish!" Misato said. 'That is if you come back. God I hope I won't regret this...'
"Wow! A steak dinner?" Asuka asked, trying to sound excited.
"YeP! But just make sure to get back. I have to go now." Misato said as she walked by them. "See you later!" The door hissed shut, leaving only the three children.
"A steak dinner? We save the world by risking our own lives, and all she can think of is a steak dinner?" Asuka asked dryly.
"Well Asuka that may be all she can afford. If she is spending her money on us, we should be grateful." Shinji suggested.
"Well fine. I guess we should get going." Asuka said. The three walked to the elevators and stepped aboard one. It was about half way up when Asuka spoke.
"Hey Shinji, why do you pilot EVA?" Asuka asked.
"I don't...really know. I guess it is just because I have nothing else to do. But ever since you have shown up, I guess it's been because of you. Plus I like to outclass you." Shinji said with a smirk that got Asuka steaming.
"WHY YOU-"
DING!
"Got to run Asuka! Have to go save the world!" Shinji darted out of the elevator and towards Unit 01 where he knew he would be safe.
"-little ass." Asuka finished softly. A few moments passed... "I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"
(Pilots, please report to your Evangelions)
"I guess it will have to wait until after the fight..." she mumbled.
Tokyo-3, Battle Number Ten
"Okay guys, the target will be dropping in a few moments, be on edge." Ritsuko's voice came over the comm.
"Yeah Shinji, be on edge. Wouldn't want to die know would you?" Asuka asked in a very threatening voice.
"I guess I'm going to die tonight, won't I?" Shinji asked in a normal voice.
"Why of course sweetheart. That's what happens when you mess with me." she replied innocently.
"Okay you two. Get ready for real. We estimate drop in twenty seconds. Whoever is closest, you know what to do." Misato's voice interrupted. She received three affirmatives. "Okay guys, do your best."
"Hey, why does Misato seem so nervous this battle?" Asuka asked.
"She's nervous every battle." Shinji told her.
"I know that. But did you hear her voice? She seemed a lot more worried than normal." Asuka told him.
"She is right. I sensed a disturbance in her voice. But it shall not affect the mission objective, so we need not be concerned." Rei said to both of them. Asuka and Shinji took seemed to take this into consideration and both nodded. "Be alert. It should be dropping any second."

"It's dropping!" Makato shouted. Misato leaned over his shoulder and looked at the screen.
"Which EVA is it closest to?" she asked.
"It's seems to be aiming for Unit 02!" he told her. Misato gasped and looked again. Sure enough, it would land almost right next to Unit 02.
"Asuka! Get ready! It's heading right for you!" she screamed.
"For me!"
Author Notes (A/N for you lazy bastards)
Well then. I hope you all enjoyed. I actually started writing chapter ten by mistake, so that's also a reason why this took so long to update. I hope you all read the thing about calling my mom a bitch and other things. Don't. If one person leaves a review that calls her a bitch, I will wait an extra month to post my new chapter. Got it? Good.
No complaining about how there is so little Rei. If you want to read something with Rei, click back twice, or click on Evangelion, and put the parings as Shinji x Rei.
LEAVE A REVIEW OR I WILL STOP WRITING! All of this sleep loss is really getting to me...
Okay, that's all I can think of. No new witty saying about going to hell, so just do as told.
Go to hell. ;)
