An Evangel is Born
The skies turn black filled with ashes… fire… fire burns in my heart
December thirteen, Nerv Commander's Office
Gendou Ikari sat behind his desk, alone… no one to talk to. The rest of his staff has gone for the night, a little Nerv break or so they'd nick name it. The light has dimmed a little making his room send dark shadows.
0.000000000012% probability and I used to think the o nine system was easy. Squeezing the report of a recent experiment. Yui… it's all for you
"Shinji…" he whispers, staring at the picture of his son, his face asking forgiveness. The picture just stared at him, smiling, carefree and very much human, that was then, a rare picture of Shinji walking towards school with his friends. This feeling… He recalled when his precious Yui disappeared ten years back, his eyes watered. Like before he felt his heart hollow more. Never once did Gendou Ikari cry in his life, yet he's also human. He lowered his head and covered his face with his hands.
That night Ikari Gendou, commander of Nerv, the most powerful man on earth. That night Ikari Gendou cried.
Katsuragi Residence,
A sleepy Asuka, wearing a long T-shirt sat at the table waiting for a certain friend. She sighed… the eyebags on her eyes showed that she was tired, a sign of lack of sleep. She kept calling Shinji's name again and again, like a chant that repeated in her mind. Shinji.
She imagines seeing him smiling at her, praising her for her wonderful work, eating what she prepared just for him… a wonderful imagination, like a dream.
God…Shinji… where are you?
It hurts… it hurts deep inside when I worry for someone, I wasn't usually like this… feeling, caring, "Mama… did I change that much?"
Asuka felt her heartache. Powerless to stop the tears from her eyes, it kept flowing…
I still have a hard time trying to cry. Does that make me human?
Rei…Wondergirl now that's an example for something inhuman, a lifeless doll. Ha…
She sniffled… wiping away her tears.
Shinji are you with Rei?
"." Misato felt her heart sank at seeing the proud second child cry. She felt it's her responsibility to tell Asuka that Shinji disappeared.
A broken heart is a hard wound to heal… poor Asuka…
Shinji's disappearance seemed a little out of place… Misato clenched her fist.
Shinji… I'll find you… for Asuka's sake… and mine too.
*Knock knock*
Asuka ignored the knocking.
Knock knock tipity top… knocks knock… God!!!
She didn't feel like moving.
Major… please just go away…
Knock Knock Knock
Mama, I want to be with you.
Mama, what about Shinji… were is he…
She thought she liked the young pilot. In fact she was actually so much in love.
Knock Knock
"Will you get that door, Asuka." A tired Misato peering out of her room. Clutching a can of SMB
(San Miguel Beer ^_^ its so tasty)
Pen Pen just squeaked. Looking at Major then turned his attention to the door.
Asuka ignored her. Oblivious to anyone, she just kept staring at the table, Shinji…
Knock Knock Knock
"Hey. Anyone home?" Shouted a familiar voice.
Shinji…
Asuka's heart chirped and stared at the door.
Misato, drunk that she was, was sleeping at a struggling Pen Pen pillow.
Asuka's heart leapt to her throat. "Shinji!" She whispered.
She ran towards the door as fast as her legs can carry her.
Shinji…
Her face smiled slightly… hope filled her heart.
She stopped staring at the doorknob.
Knock Knock Knock
She paused for a moment and closed her eyes. Asuka Soryu Langley prayed. In her mind it was almost an eternity. Please let it be Shinji.
(Door opens)
A hand held her crying face.
She opened her eyes. She smiled.
"Shinji."
If only Asuka waited a few more minutes… she could have seen Shinji's eyes flicker… from blue to red… then back.
"To be continued"
