Author's note: Well, I have a snow day today (YAY! :D) so I thought I would work on this considering I've been watching WAY too much anime lately. XD So far I've seen "Princess Mononoke", the series "Iria", episodes 13-24 of "The Adventures of Mini-Goddess -- The Belldandy Files" and "Orange Road -- Summer's Beginning". All which are very good. Iria and Princess Mononoke (for those who have not seen it) are very bloody and gory and Orange Road has slight hentai near the end. Although I highly recommend you all to watch them, don't watch them unless you are 13 or older! Alright, enough of my ramblings! ;D Here's chapter nine of "Until the Day I Die!"

Title: Until the Day I Die
Chapter title: Plushies and Conflicts

"So what's up with you Asuka?" asked Hikari over her bowl of rice. Asuka looked up at her friend and smiled.
"Nothing's wrong Hikari. I'm just tired. I didn't get too much sleep last night is all. Plus with the tests today and all..." she said as she took a bite of rice.
"Ah, I see. Come on! Hurry up and eat and we can go to the mall. Get your mind off this whole Shinji thing." said Hikari. Asuka began to choke on her rice and stared at her companion. Her cheeks flushed and she swallowed thickly.
"What -- How... How did you know about the 'Shinji thing' as you call it?" she demanded.
"I have my ways Asuka. I have my ways..." said Hikari with a sly smile. Asuka stared at her friend for a few moments before sighing.
'Figures Hikari would find out...' she thought as she quickly finished her rice under the watchful eyes of Hikari.
-- Kensuke's House --
"Shinji! You made it!" yelled Kensuke as he opened the door to allow Shinji entrance. "It's about time. I was getting worried."
"Sorry... I got a little tied up after the tests today." mumbled Shinji as he smiled warily and took his sneakers off.
"It's alright. Touji's still here. Slightly pissed off with you for being late, but here non the less." said Kensuke with an evil smile. Shinji gulped and followed Kensuke into the living room where Touji was glaring at the television.
"You moron! The answer is "dumplings" not "pizza"!" he roared as the contestant on the game show gave the wrong answer. Shinji chuckled and scratched his head. Touji was addicted to game shows and Shinji was highly considering signing him up for GSJA; Game Show Junkies Anonymous.
"Hey, game show junkie! If you can bear to tear your eyes away from the screen, look who's here!" yelled Kensuke over Touji's yells and curses. Touji stopped yelling, looked at Shinji and blinked. Shinji looked back and blinked as well. He knew Touji was going to tackle him, so he decided to slowly back away from his friend.
"SHINJI!" yelled Touji happily as he tackled his friend. Shinji's head slammed into the nearby wall and the two boys fell to the floor. "You finally made it! Just where were you?" he demanded.
"I...I can't...breathe!" gasped Shinji from under Touji's weight, his face pressed into the plush carpet. Touji got off his friend and waited for Shinji to catch his breath. "Why did you do that?"
"I dunno... I always do that though. How is it new to you?"
"YOU SLAMMED MY HEAD INTO A WALL!" yelled Shinji, wincing at the pain in his head.
"I DIDN'T MEAN IT!" roared Touji back. The two started bickering and Kensuke had to step in, just as Misato had done that morning.
"Alright you two. Come on. Shinji's late because he got tied up after his tests. You know how Major Katsuragi and the staff there are."
"Actually, no I don't." said Touji as he crossed his arms and glowered at Kensuke.
"I err... Shall we get going then?" said Kensuke uneasily.
"Yeah, let's go." said Touji as he stood up.
"Go where?" inquired Shinji as he stood up, a hand still on his head.
"We're going to the mall. Nothing good here to do, and we gotta get Touji away from the T.V." said Kensuke as he turned the television off and headed for the front doors. Shinji followed and put his shoes on.
"We're not going to be..."
"OH GOD NO!" yelled Touji. "Why the hell would GUYS go shopping?! Especially me?"
"I err...never mind." said Shinji quietly as he tied his shoe-laces. "I'm sorry Touji."
"It's alright. I figured you would ask since we never really go anywhere except to your house, or to play basketball...or something similar to sports anyway..." he said as he trailed off due to the look Kensuke and Shinji were giving him. "Alright, I'll shut up, just quit staring at me like I'm some kind of moron."
"Oh, but you are." said Kensuke as he clapped a hand on Touji's shoulder, grinned and ran from the premises while Touji chased after him cursing. Shinji laughed and followed his friends.
-- Tokyo-3 Mall --
"Wow! This is SO cute! I have to have it!" squealed Hikari as she picked up a plushie of Miroku from the anime Inu Yasha. Asuka laughed quietly to herself and looked at the rows of plushies they had in the store. She was mostly interested in violent mangas, but they had none of her favorites in stock so plushies were the next best thing besides video games.
"I guess he is... But he's a pervert. He continues to ask women to bear his child for him..." muttered Asuka as she looked at the Miroku plushie Hikari was holding.
"How do you know that?"
"I've read a few of the mangas alright?" said Asuka as she shrugged. Something caught her eye and she found herself looking at an Inu Yasha plushie. "Oh my God! I have to have this!"
"Geez Asuka, I never thought I'd hear you say something like that over a plushie. Let alone over an anime character." teased Hikari.
"Yeah, but this is his DEMON form!" protested Asuka as she held it out. Hikari shuddered as she saw Inu Yasha's blood red eyes and demon marks.
"Alright...but what about this one?" she suggested as she pulled out another Inu Yasha plushie in his normal form. Asuka took it from her friend and looked between his two forms. She gingerly placed the demon form back on his perch above the Kagome and Kikyo plushies and smiled.
"I want this one."
"I knew you would. Come on. Let's go buy these and get out of here before you buy more than you can afford." joked Hikari.
"Oh shut up." said Asuka as they walked up to the registered and placed the plushies on the counter. The cashier rang them up, and took their money. The two girls took their purchases and exited the store. Talking animatedly, they didn't notice Shinji, Kensuke and Touji walking up. Touji bumped into Hikari as they passed each other and Asuka turned around.
"Hey! Watch where you're walking you dumbass!" she yelled.
"Oh yeah? Who are you calling a dumbass missy?" said Touji as he turned around. Upon noticing who it was he was retorting back to, he gulped.
"Just WHO are you calling 'missy'?" spat Asuka as she stalked up to him and smacked him.
"Just drop it Asuka, please?" pleaded Shinji quietly. Asuka looked up and blushed. She hadn't even noticed he was standing right there!
"I...alright. Fine. Whatever." she said as she turned and tried to conceal her plushie she had clutched in the crook of her elbow.
"Oh? What's that you got there?" teased Touji as he took the Inu Yasha plushie out of Asuka's arms.
"Hey! Give it back Touji!"
"What's this? An Inu Yasha plushie? And not in demon form? I'm surprised at you Asuka. It seems to me that you are growing soft." he taunted. Asuka's face flushed and she tried to control her anger.
"I am not. Hikari made me get it."
"Sure she did. Alright Asuka. Seems you really are just a little girl at heart." said Touji tossing the plushie back at Asuka. She caught it and she glared at him. Looking at Shinji, she hung her head.
'It's all over...he knows that I really am just a little girl on the inside... NO! I will not let some jackass ruin my reputation!' she thought as she punched Touji in the stomach. Touji gasped and fell to his knees, clutching his stomach in pain. "Feh, now who's the weak one?" she said before turning on her heel and walking off.
"Asuka, wait!" called Shinji. Looking at Touji, he quickly apologized and ran off after Asuka.

Author's note: Yay! It's longer now! :D Didn't take me too long either. Read through my other chapters, listened to Inu Yasha mp3's and VIOLA! I finished! And sorry to those of you who don't like seeing Asuka out of character. However, I DID bring her back in character towards the end did I not? Lol. Well, until next time! Matte ne! ~ Nagi
