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 5: The Devil within.
The next morning came so soon, Shinji had barely realized it. He opened his eyes to see four white walls surround him. // Where am I? // Only then had he slowly recall what had happened the night before. Trying damn hard to strangle Asuka, only to release her. Seeing Rei again just with one thought from his mind, only to learned that he had been given the power to create a new world for the new breed of mankind. He had been thinking about it the whole night, up to a point where he fell asleep in the elevator. Lucky for him, there was no one around to discover him sitting in there like a pathetic fool with no home to return to. He had a home, but it was Asuka that he could not face. Trying to kill someone who was obviously still very much alive haunted his thoughts.
Suddenly the elevator door opened, Shinji nearly jumped to his feet. There in front of him was the devil herself, Asuka in a bright red dress. //Speak of the devil...// Her eyes pierced through his, making Shinji feel as if she could read his mind.
+ACI-Well, well...if it isn't the coward who tried to kill me but failed.+ACI- She stepped into the elevator, raising her hand to press the 'Ground floor' button. Shinji kept silent even though he wanted to say something. It was best to avoid an argument with Asuka now, it would only make matters worse.
+ACI-So had fun spending the night here?+ACI-
+ACI-No...why should you care...+ACI-
+ACI-I don't. Just wanted to know how much of a loser you are...+ACI- Her voice irritated Shinji. He could not understand why he had somehow had a slight crush on her before. Maybe it was because she became the hottest topic in the whole school, furthermore being the only male student to live with her in the same apartment flattered him. He lost count on the number of times he had dreams about her, some of which he was too embarrassed to admit. //F+ACo-ck+ACE- I don't have them anymore...so stop thinking about it. // The elevator reached the designated floor within the next couple of seconds. Asuka stepped out without bothering to look back at Shinji who still refused to stand.
+ACI-See ya later, Baka...hope you'll enjoy your little quiet day. Too bad 'wonder girl' s not here to share it with you.+ACI- The elevator door closed before Shinji could even reply. His anger and frustration with Asuka was driving him insane. He wished he could have killed her at the beach there and then. It would save him all the pain and ache he's feeling. //But no...you're too much of a coward to have done it right?+ACE- // In fact he could hardly recall the last time he did something right. Then the elevator door opened again, he looked up to see a bright pair of crimson eyes shyly greeting his blue ones.
+ACI-Ayanami...what are you doing here? Ano...+ACI- The blue-haired angel was silent but rather shocked to see Shinji sitting on the floor of the elevator. His clothes were still the same, drenched inside out from the rain. From his present look, Rei could see that he had obviously spent the whole night sitting and sleeping in the elevator. As a matter of fact, the whole elevator smelled of him. //Familiar scent...//
+ACI-Ikari kun, have you been sleeping here the whole night? I thought you said you had to return home?+ACI- Shinji looked rather sad and reluctant to answer the question. He did not want Rei to know the truth, yet it was adding weight to his already burdened shoulders. He sighed deeply, trying to make up excuses. However, Rei's look made him realize that she knew he'd make something up. //Better be safe than sorry...//
+ACI-Yes, I did. I wanted to enter the apartment...but somehow I couldn't bring myself to see Asuka face to face, after what I did. Now I wished I had finished what I started...+ACI-
+ACI-Don't say that.+ACI- Shinji turned his eyes to hers, questioning her meaning.
+ACI-You know what I mean...you could never do it, even if you hated her...+ACI- It was sometimes painful to admit the things he did not want to. What Rei told him was true, he could not lie or deny. They were on the same team, Nerv Eva pilots. He could never kill Asuka with his bare hands, no matter how much he felt like it. //She's a bitch from the start anyway...// Shinji smiled at the thought of him being rather silly in front of Rei. He wondered how Rei had been able to read his mind, like she was monitoring what he was thinking from time to time. //That's odd...//
