Author's Notes: Here we go! I of course don't own Evangelion... lord knows I wish I did.. oh well. This is my first under the Evangelion section, so do be kind (yes, even the remarkably insane have feelings too) and review! Or I shall sick the ferret of evil after thou! Oh and if you don't happen to get it, feel free to sit there and act puzzled.. I don't intend to explain things..
The Word
Ch 1. And So, The Word Was Born
Rays of light pushed their way through the windows, signalling the start of yet another day in the life of one Souryu Asuka Langley, the Second Child and pilot of Evangelion Unit 02. As usual, she started up her morning routine of stretching, getting dressed, and then thinking up devious ways to torture one Shinji Ikari. After living with him for some time, Asuka had drawn two conclusions about the so called Great Third Child.
1) She admitted to herself that she liked him
2) He was indeed the biggest wuss in human existence.
So, logically, she should torture the young Ikari, so as to get his attention and maybe drive the wuss from him. Today, she was planning one of her many great plots to make the boy cringe and later crawl up into a ball. She planned on maybe telling him he's handsome today, but say it in german and be as menacing as possible. Asuka pondered on this for a while, but decided against it as she had done that a little bit ago. Her thoughts were then cut off by the sound of Shinji knocking lightly on her door, signifying that breakfast was ready. Asuka smiled at the polite, gentle way he knocked on the door, then gave the response she always gave him.
"Baka Shinji!!!! I'm not ready yet so hold your damn horses!"
"S-sorry!"
Asuka smiled brightly; today was already proceeding nicely. With this moment of bliss on her mind, she left her room without a plan to torture Shinji and sat at the table. To her left was Shinji's usual place, and across the table sat her guardian, Misato Katsuragi, who was now polishing off her third beer of the morning. Next to her sat the makeshift family's pet, PenPen, who was busy handling the bills of the apartment.
After 10 minutes of absolute silence had passed, Asuka finally noticed that all the members of the small apartment were starring at her.
"......WHAT?!"
Shinji, who reflexivly cringed at her screech, was the only one to attempt a reply.
"..W-well Asuka-chan.. it's just you usually insult me by now.."
Asuka suddenly began to sweat. Having completely forgotten to form a new cutdown, she attempted to resort to some of her classic backups.
"Hmph! Why should I waste my breath on a baka hentai like you?"
"...Umm... Asuka-chan.. you've kind of already used that insult.."
"Huh?"
"Well yeah.. see I keep this calender ::Shinji grabs a calender from off the nearby wall:: see? You called me a baka hentai just last week."
"Ohh.. uhh.. it figures a stupid dumkopf like you would do something like that!"
"......you said that last Thursday.."
"::Gritting her teeth:: Grrrrrr... well I don't want to waste the effort of insulting a affenschwanz like you anyways!"
"....last Saturday.."
By this point, Asuka began to sweat more. She was really on the spot, and thanks to the miracle of fanfiction, we can now look into her mind for a moment. As you can see, her brain is really racking itself trying to think up a cutdown. At this rate her brain might fry. We could even expect an outburst of any kind any momen
"BOJANGLES!"
((*Over in the Serial Experiments Lain section, a squirrel explodes from the mentioning of the word*))
...t.....like that.
At this, from behind the beer can raised to her lips, Misato raised an eyebrow. PenPen had stopped looking over the electric bill and starred at Asuka. Shinji, who was completely confused by this point, didn't know how to respond. His brain, it being confused as well, gave the only response it could, which Shinji quickly blurted out.
"...Bojangles?"
Now Asuka began to panic. She was mentally kicking herself as her brain screamed "Where the hell did that come from?!". However, in an attempt to save herself, she tried to put logic behind her outburst.
"Y-yeah.. didn't see that coming did you? Huh? Did you?"
"N-no Asuka-chan.. but... what does Bojangles mean?"
"Uhh...well that is to say.. that! Yeah, that's what it means! I'd explain it to you further, but trying to explain the brilliance I come up with would just hurt a simple minded dumkopf like you! Hmph!"
And with that being said, Asuka stood from the table, put a piece of bread into her mouth and stormed out of the apartment, heading for school. On the walk there she questioned where she got the word bojangles from, but simply disregarded it. Halfway to the school, Asuka realised she would end up almost an hour and a half early. So instead of going to school, she headed to the park where she could sit down, think up a new insult, and get some much needed relaxation.
A/N: YOSH! ::Stretches:: I needed to write that! Well the next chapter will be in Shinji's POV, and I might even be so kind as to actually tell you the meaning of Bojangles!!.....no I won't... I wonder why I lied like that? Oh well.. you'll just have to read the next chapter to find out..And the romance will be in later chapters if I get good reviews! Be sure to review! Thanks a bunch people, and remember! This world is made of LOVE & PEACE!
