Destiny and Time 2:

Promises to fulfill

Chapter 7

Shinji sighed happily.

"What's up with him?" Touji asked no one in particular

"I have no idea." Kensuke replied this friend as

both of them continue to stare at the Third Child.

*You'll NEVER find out* Keiko thought.

"Hey.. MAYBE Shinji got some!!" Touji exclaimed and

starts to wave his hands frantically

"WHAT! SHINJI GOT SOME!!" Kensuke echoed his friend

and mimiced his action.

*God help us.* Keiko sighed as rumors starts poping up

at 50 rumors per minute and spreads at 5 person per second.

"Shinji got some?!?"

"Yeah Shinji MUST have got some!"

"Bet he got some with his guardian!"

"NO WAY must be that girl from class 2A!"

"Psh, yeah right, bet he's just on drugs."

*When Shinji gets out of this trance...* Keiko trailed off

on her thought as she glanced at Shinji, who is blissfully

unaware of ANYTHING surrounding him, and sighed once more,

*IF Shinji gets out of this trance, he's gonna suffer*

"I wonder who he did it with."

"Hey... Keiko's always with him.. maybe..."

"NO WAY!! Keiko did it with Shinji!!"

By this point Keiko was sweating like she was in a sauna.

*... this is bad...*

"Hey Shinji!" Keiko whispered to the fazed out pilot.

"..... *sigh*...."

"Grrr" Keiko growled, "SHINJI SNAP OUT OF IT!!"

"Huh?? wha?? who?? where?? angel? Wha?" Keiko watched as Shinji

finally regain mental capacity, "Ummm.. so what's the matter?"

"Shinji..." Keiko chewed on her lower lip, "You'll find out soon.

I'll leave the explaining to you.... ok?"

Shinji looked at Keiko and shrugged, "Umm I guess so."

"OK.... Good luck." Keiko waved and walked back to her group of

friends.

*This is gonna be a bad day for me.* Keiko shook her head.

*******************************

"WHAT!!" Shinji choked on his lunch.

"How was it?" Touji, with all this 'tact', asked.

"How was WHAT!"

"How was Keiko?" Touji, with his amazing ability of using 'tact',

asked.

"WHAT!!" The Third child silently prayed to god for an

escape.

"What? Don't lie to me Ikari... So how was she?" Touji (Well by now

you'll probably know what i want to say ^^) asked.. again.

"I DID NOT HAVE SEX WITH KEIKO!!" Shinji yelled.

"Then WHY where you sighing like that all day?" Kensuke piped in.

"I was SIGHING and you think I had SEX!!!" Shinji pulled on his

hair, "How in the WORLD did you come up with THAT!"

"What else could you have done?" Touji scratched his head.

"Can't I just be happy because I got a new SDAT?" Shinji groaned.

"Well DID you get a new SDAT?" Kensuke countered.

"No."

"Then that means you did it." Kensuke concluded once again.

"THATS NOT THE POINT!!" Shinji hit his head against the railing,

"OK I did NOT did it with ANYONE.. OK?"

The Idiot duo both nodded.

"I'm just happy because I'm feeling better than usual OK?"

"Well if your feeling better than usual-" Touji started.

"DIDN'T you just HEAR what I said!!" Shinji started to feel faint.

"Ok ok... man... touche..." Touji rolled his eyes.

"Ok.. now that I explained to you two-"

"YOU still have the whole school to go!" Kensuke replied happily.

"Great.... Just great..." Shinji hung his head low as he began

to explain his 'sighing happily' to the whole school.

*******************************

"I'm HOME!!" Shinji walked into the Katsuragi apartment.

*Looks like Misato is still at work.*

The Third Child went into the kitchen and grabbed a soda,

*Asuka's gonna come in just 2 more weeks...*

Ring Ring

*I wonder if she'll remember me....*

Ring Ring

*What if she isn't the Asuka I know?*

Ring Ring

*What if the Asuka I know never made it through the portal?

Then why am I so happy for?*

Ring Ring.

"Huh?" Shinji pulled himself back into reality and quickly

rushed to answer the phone, "Hello?"

"Hi Shinji!"

"Oh, hi Misato.. what's up?"

"Ohh just reminding you that you have a sync test scheduled

for 4 pm today."

"Oh right... thanks for the reminder."

"No problem, see you later.. buh bye."

"yeah... bye." Shinji sighed and took another sip from the

can. *I hope this works out ok....*

*******************************

*I hope this Asuka won't the the on Shinji's talking about.*

Keiko thought as she flipped through the channel, *What am I

thinking? I should be happy Shinji is gonna meet his girlfriend

again right? But why do I feel that when she comes.. Shinji

will forget about me all together...*

Keiko stopped and turned off the TV. *Why am I so afraid? It's

not like I LIKE him or something... We tried dating already..

right?*

"Keiko.. you home?"

"I'm home mom."

"Don't you have work in that supermarket?"

"Nope.. I don't work today mom."

"Ok, I'll call you when dinner's done."

"Kay."

*Naw.. Shinji isn't that kinda guy... he won't forget and ignore

me just like that. I mean, I DID talk to him about all the stuff

and he told me mostly about himself. I guess we're pretty good

friends then...* Keiko sighed, *I'm starting to worry as much as

Shinji... he's rubbing off on me too much...."

*******Meanwhile in Germany*******

"Are you all Packed Asuka?"

The Second Child looked up from her thousands of boxes, "Almost

done Mama!"

Asuka's adopted mother walked into her room, "Asuka.. be careful

out there... you'll be fighting a war now.. please be careful."

Asuka smiled, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

"Just don't hurt yourself."

"Don't worry I won't."

"Eat properly."

"I will"

"Take-"

"MAMA!!" Asuka's mom laughed, "Mama, I don't know how to say this

but... I.. I think I'm gonna miss you."

Asuka's mom gasped, "Asuka..."

"I know I don't really like you in the past.. but.. I changed mama,

I... I don't know what to say.." Asuka looked towards the ground.

"Asuka... don't worry. After all your gonna show me your boyfriend

when you come back to Germany right!"

"MAMA!" Asuka blushed bright red.

"Just promise me that you'll come back."

"I will.. I'll make you proud." Asuka nodded with confidence

and shouldered her duffel bag, "Japan.. here comes Asuka."

*******Back in Japan*******

"So you invited those two idiots along too." Keiko asked with a

hint of annoyance in her voice.

"Umm... what's wrong with Touji and Kensuke?" Shinji replied as

he rummaged through the fridge, the part with food, not beer.

"Well aren't they gonna ruin your private meeting with your little

girlfriend." Keiko said.

Shinji turned looked towards the living room where Keiko is sitting

with a going-to-be-drunk Misato.

*Whats up with Keiko? She sounds kinda anger...*

"Naw.. I'll probably get a laugh when Asuka see those two again."

Shinji said with a grin.

"Whys that?" Misato said after slamming her empty beer can on the

table, "And could you pass me another one please."

Shinji tossed Misato a can of Yebisu beer, "Well let's just say

that Touji and Kensuke call her the 'Red Demon' before I went on

that little side adventure of mine." Shinji said wirly.

"Red Demon?" Keiko looked at Shinji skeptically.

"Umm.. or was that Red Devil... I'm not sure.. I wonder what they'll

call her this time around."

"Sounds like the Asuka you know is the same as the one I know."

Misato commented.

"Oh yeah.. you met Asuka a few years back in Germany when she graduated

from that collage of hers." Shinji sighed, "Misato.. looks like it's take

out tonight."

"WHAT!! Another night of TAKEOUT!!" Misato groaned.

"Well.. if SOMEONE has bothered to shop for food today before going

home EARLY, we might actually have SOMETHING other than BEER in the

FRIDGE!!!" Shinji growled.

"Hey hey.. calm down.." Misato said waving her arms.

Keiko giggled as the Captain frantically try to fend off Shinji's

verbal assult.

"Ok ok.. it's my fault ok..." Misato said in defeat after a few minutes

of Shinji's complants.

"About time you realize that." Shinji said smugly.

"You know what Shinji." Misato said as she flipped through her collection

of take-out menus, "If Asuka is as cute as I remember, I'd say you have

pretty good taste in women."

Shinji blushed, "Umm.. err.. thanks... er.. Misato.."

"Now tell me details... what base have you gone to with her." Misato

smiled slyly.

"WHAT!" The Third Child immediatly blushed some more and starts to denies

everything that Captain saids.

*Smart and Beautiful... Probably incredibly funny too..* Keiko thought

sadly as she watch Misato mercilessly tease Shinji, *How can I even Compe-

wait... What am I THINKING! I'm not suppose to think about how to get Shinji

as my boyfriend! I'm suppose to help him when he's down! But isn't that

what a girlfriends does for his boyfriend? Then does that mean that... WAIT

AAAHHHH WHAT AM I THINKING!!!*

"Umm Keiko.." Shinji said timidly.

"Yes?" Keiko replied, trying to not sound suspicious.

"Why were you pull on your hair just a few moments back?"

"Umm... whoops?"

*******************************

*Why is she acting like this...*Shinji thought as he watched Keiko

eat and chat with her friends, *It's like she's avoiding me, she's

been doing that ever since we were talking about the trip to pick

up Asuka.. I wonder what's wrong...*

Shinji sighed as he picked at his lunch that he made himself, *Maybe

I should talk to her, maybe she's just waiting for me to talk to her?

But wouldn't she be staying closer to me not avoiding me? Or am i just

paranoid? Yeah, that must be it, I'm getting paranoid.. that's it.*

"Hey Ikari!" Shinji tilted his head and sees Touji walking towards him,

"What did you want to tell me and Kensuke?"

"Oh yeah, since I know Kensuke over there likes all those military stuff

and.. well you like Misato," Shinji snickered, "I figured you two would

like to join me, Keiko, and Misato on picking up the second child from

her trip from Germany to here."

Touji grinned stupidly as the thought of spending time with Misato for

a whole day (and skipping school for a legitiment reason) went coursing

through his mind, "Shinji, I LOVE the way you think."

"I'm a genious." Shinji gave him the thumbs up, "Why don't you come over

after school and Misato will tell you our plans for that day."

"OF COURSE!!" Touji cheered, "I'll tell Kensuke too!"

"Of course you will." Shinji smiled, *Hehe, wait til he meets with dear

old Asuka... I'll be having a field day that's for sure.*

"Oh well... I guess I'll hold of changing the timeline just this once."

Shinji muttered as he threw away the remander of his sandwich, "I'm gonna

hate myself for this..."

*******************************

(This part is gonna be in Keiko's POV, just thought i'll trying something

like this with this fic ^^ R&R this part for me will ya ^^)

This pass week can only be described with one word.... PATHETIC!?!.

Why? Well let me tell you all why this week was pathetic, first, I found

out that for some stupid reason, I still feel... gravitated... to Shinji,

and to make me feeling MORE pathetic, I ignored him for the whole week.

There's a worst part, yep... I actually MISSED the two idiots being tortured

by Misato AND Shinji. By the two idiots, I mean Touji and Kensuke of course.

Well I guess that was just the start of it all... I mean I could live with

that.. but that's not why I feel pathetic AND think that this pass week was

pathetic...

********************************

"Well guys, how are you enjoying our date." Misato puncuated her sentence

with a wink that instently melted the idiot duo.

"Missaaaattoooo." Shinji whined as the two swayed back and forth squishing

him in the process.

"Good thing I'm not sitting back there." Keiko said, truly thankful.

"When are we gonna get there?" Shinji asked anxiously.

Keiko bit her lower lip *Guess he really wants to see this Asuka really bad.*

"I don't wanna die yet." Keiko lightened up a bit and giggled.

"I think we better hurry, if we don't, the mighty Third Child might just

suffocate leaving us defenseless against the oh so scary monsters." Keiko

said jokingly.

"Oh at least we'll have the Second child to take his place." Misato replied

mockingly.

"Oh do I mean so little to you." Shinji said chuckling a bit, "I'm hurt."

"We'll be there in 2 minutes Ma'am." The pilot announced.

"Well I guess it's time to show you the Japan's powerful navel force." Misato

said cheerfully.

Kensuke immediatly snapped out of his stupor, "OH MY GOD! LOOK AT THOSE!"

Shinji rolled his eyes as Kensuke counted the ships while Touji continue

to try to get a better view Misato...

"Quite frankly, I don't see what so impressive about that tub." Misato said

passively.

"Well I think it's quite impressive." Keiko said looking out the window,

"I mean 'Over the Rainbow' must have faced quite a bit of battles and still

come out looking pretty well.

"I have with Keiko there Misato, that 'tub' as you called it is Japan's

biggest carrier!" Kensuke said as he whipped out his camcorder and starts

to record everthing.

"Enough with the chit chat, get strapped down, we're going in for the

landing!" Misato said with her ever present cheerfulness.

*******************************

*Here he comes... Don't go all chicken leg on me Asuka* Asuka thought

to herself as she watched the helicopter land on Over the Rainbow.

"Guess I'll go meet him myself then." letting out a breath, Asuka

left the railing she was leaning on and walked down the metal stairs

with her sun hat....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I AM SO SORRY!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED!! Really! My mind has been

blank for quite a while... so don't expect too the next chapter to come

out too soon.. and before you ask.. NO I am NOT giving up on this fic

Neways... I was hoping to get more into this chapter even after a long

time of thinking, I just can't seem to get anymore ideas in.. well i guess

I'll just have to start fresh with the next chapter right?

*Omake*Shinji's secret technique*Omake*

"You know what Shinji." Misato said as she flipped through her collection

of take-out menus, "If Asuka is as cute as I remember, I'd say you have

pretty good taste in women."

Shinji blushed, "Umm.. err.. thanks... er.. Misato.."

"Now tell me details... what base have you gone to with her." Misato

smiled slyly.

"Umm.. actually... I err...." Shinji replied weakly.

"Oh thats ni-" Misato thought for a moment, "WHAT!?! YOU HAD DID THAT WITH

ASUKA!?!"

"So that's why Shinji seems to know all those stuff." Keiko added as an

afterthought.

"YOU DID IT WITH KEIKO TOO!?!" Misato fainted.

"What did I say?" Shinji said innocently.

"I think ummm nevermind... but seriously, you really DO know how to give a back

rub... most relaxing." Keiko said.
