Disclaimer: None of the mentioned below belongs to me. If they do, I'd be better off from where I am now. So lay off the lawyer. I watched EoE many times, but there are things I still don't understand. So just assume this happened after EoE and it got mixed up with the last 2 episodes of NGE.
Title: The Perfect World
Chapter 3
Asuka stepped into Misato's apartment, being soaking wet all over. //Maybe a dip in the pool wasn't such a bad idea after all...// She could not believe what happened half an hour ago. Her neck still had the bruises Shinji left. There they were on the beach next to each other, before she knew it his hands were strangling her. His grip so tight, she felt that her eyes were going to pop out any second. She wanted to struggle back, to hit the daylights out of him. His eyes portrayed nothing but a frightened child who was confused. His mind was somehow being pre-programmed to do this to her. Asuka could barely raise her hand properly, it only managed to briefly touch his cheek. Shinji stopped dead in his tracks, suddenly aware of what he had been doing. Tears flowed, sobs were heard later. //Baka...what a wimp! //
She roughly took of her plug suit, throwing it to one corner. Walked towards the bathroom, she looked into the mirror. What she saw made her want to throw up. That girl in the mirror was definitely 'not' her. Her eyes were sunken, her face looked like they were 10 years older. //THIS IS NOT 'ME'!!// Before she knew it, her right fist flung itself towards the mirror. The sound of the crack made Asuka feel a sense of relief, satisfaction that she had the power to control her surroundings. The blood made a stain on her bandaged hand. She could feel no pain, all she felt was a rush of power. It brought her confidence up to level again. Control meant everything to her, she could not careless what happened to Shinji.
"I'm still the best Eva pilot!! I don't give a damn about that BAKA!" She ripped off the bandage, throwing them away. The wound was still fresh, blood oozed out. //So much for pain...now I need a bath.//
Shinji took the long road home. It had started raining the moment he left Rei's apartment. He was too deep in thought to give a damn about the rain. It was not like it would make him feel any better. Rain had soaked him inside out, the roads were so dark he could hardly see where he was going. He was confused. He had been given something that he had longed for, the problem was he did not know how to handle it. He had been given the power to create a whole new world, one that would be perfect enough to outlast the previous world. Hopefully, it would last forever and let mankind continue on from here. Creation was an incredible power, the very same power which led to his father's obsession with Evas. Part of Shinji resented that power, for what it represented and how it had made his childhood life miserable. Then again, it had excited him to know that he would be the one responsible for everything.
You must create your world...You decide from now on... Rei's words kept ringing back and forth in his mind. He had an enormous task to do, still he felt that the boots were too big for him. //But Rei said that it was for the benefit of all...//
"Wait a minute...she never said 'that'!" He looked around him, noticing that he had spoken out aloud. Like there was anyone around to listen, the streets were dead quiet. He took the corner, reached the apartment compound within minutes. He hesitated to continue his steps. Asuka would be waiting for him, his mind predicted a thousand and one things she would either do or say the moment she sees him. //Be a man will, ya...you have a world to create!//
He sighed at the thought of Asuka beating the shit out of him. He proceeded up the stairs, not bothering to check whether the lift was working. Every step he took, he felt his pace slow down. His heart felt heavy, he had difficulty breathing. The burden was upon his chest and shoulders, Asuka was going to be at the front door waiting for him. //Not now...I have to take control. Rei said I'd decide from now on...not HER!// Before long, he stood in front of his door.
