Destiny and Time 2:
Promises to fulfill

Chapter 9


*I guess school went well... I'm still kinda
angry that those to BAKAS will have the NERVE
to sell my pictures!* Asuka fumed silently as
Shinji and she is walking back to their apartment.
*And the worst part is that they didn't even
get MY GOOD SIDE!! At LEAST they can take GOOD
pictures of me... thoses ones make me look fat!*

Shinji glanced at Asuka with terror in his
expression, "Umm As-"

"SHUT UP!!"

Our 'brave' Third Child eeped pathetically and
slowly edged away from the fury of the Second.

Asuka continued to mumble as they walked.
*Stupid Baka Hentais...*


*******During School that day*******


"I'm Asuka Langley Soryu, Charmed huh?" Asuka
smiled cutely at the class.

"nonononononONONONONONO!" Touji and Kensuke chanted
fearfully as Asuka took a seat a few behind Shinji.

*Damn.. forgot to bring the camera.* Shinji swore
inwardly, *Well.. I can always ask Misato to send
it ov-.. nevermind.. bad idea...*

"Now.. if you turn to page #342 in your math text
book and look at question 12, this is a perfect
application since a simular question might be asked
after the second impact, speaking of which..."

The whole class groaned silently as their old teacher
once again has mindlessly wandered from their world
and babbles about the second impact.

Beep Beep Beep

Shinji rubbed his eyes and opened the message insintively

^Hey Shinji, whatcha doing after school?^

Shinji frowned and glanced around the room to find
Asuka waving slightly at him.

^Not much.. probably finish off next month's homework
so i won't need to do it later^

^You are SOOO dull third child^

Shinji rolled his eyes and shook his head.

^Well what do YOU purpose we do?^

^Hmm... wanna go to that new mall?^

^Sure... I'll talk to you about it at lunch then?^

^You bet!^


Beep beeep beep

^So you going to the ice-cream store with us today?^

Shinji frowned, *Must be Keiko asking...*

^Sorry Keiko, but I have something to do today.^

Shinji turned towards Keiko and gave her a apologetic
look.

^It's ok i guess... how about tomorrow?^

^NERV stuff^

^Saturday?^

^Umm.. I don't think i have anything that day.. sure^

^Teachers actually teaching! talk to you at lunch =)^

The Third Child sighed and glanced at the clock.
*An other day of school...*


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


Most guys at the age of 14 might consider PE as
a blessing. A school course that is actually not
so boring, but unlike other guys, one Shinji Ikari
thinks of it as...

*I HATE PE!!*

Shinji stared at the swimming pool, "I really
don't think that's a good idea Touji."

"Aww come one, you CHICKEN or somethin'!" Touji
taunted.

"It's just that i really DON'T know how to swim."
Shinij replied.

"Psh, wuss." Touji smirked, "I can't see why the
girls like you so much."

"And I can't see why Hikari actually puts up with
you." Shinji said giving Touji his own smirk.

"And what does THAT have to do with the point that
your too chicken to swim?"

"And what does the fact that I don't want to learn
affects what the girls think of me?"

Shinji and Touji paused, "Why the heck are we talking
about this?"

"Suzahara Touji, your next!"

"YES SAH!"

*At least the PE teacher doesn't bother me with this.*


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


Keiko turns her head to watch Shinji, *Why doesn't he
swim?*

"Hi"

Keiko jumped a little before turning towards the voice.
"Umm.. hi Asuka."

"Sooo... why are you staring at the guys?" Asuka said
with a grin, "See something you like."

*Of course...* Keiko thought semi-miserbally, "I was
just wondering why Shinji never seems to want to learn
to swim?"

Asuka thought for a moment, "Probably some weird believe
that Humans aren't made to float or something."

Keiko giggled, "You seem to know alot about Shinji."

"Well I guess i should, I mean we used to live together,"
Asuka said matter-of-factly, "Well, i guess we're living
together again but it's not really the same anymore."

"What do you mean?"

"Well... the last time, we lived together because of
an Angel, and we needed to learn to work together in
perfect sync inorder to beat it," Asuka lowered her
voice as she spoke, "Well, i guess this time we're
living together because... because we need each other."

Keiko tilted her head sideways and frowned, "What do
you mean?"

"Well.. I mean we ARE trying to change the future, I
guess that is a reason we need each other."

"Is that all?"

"Well there ARE other reasons," Asuka's voice trailed
off, "Say... why are all the girls in our class staring
at Shinji during class?"

"Shinji's the school Casanova" Keiko replied with a grin.

"WHAT!?!" Asuka shouted.

Everyone stopped what their doing and stared at the Red
Head.

"WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT!" Asuka shouted.

Keiko blinked in surprise as everyone cringed at Asuka
shouting, "Umm Asuka?"

"Oh.. sorry." Asuka took a deep breath, "So what were you
saying about Shinji being the school casanova?"

"Well.. I'm not quite sure actually, I think it might of
been because of the fact that he is actually the first guy
we've seen to actually made class rep blush." Keiko replied
thoughtfully.

"Shinji was hitting on Hikari!?!"

"Actually, its more like Shinji actually has the GUTS to
FACE Hikari without flinching, expecially when she's mad."

"And what does that have to do with those girls like him?"
Asuka asked with a puzzled look.

"I have NO idea..." Keiko grinned sheepishly, "Well anyways
I guess that's just a thought."

The two girls sat in silence as they continue to wait their
turn to run the laps.

"So... how did you get to know Shinji?" Asuka asked, once again
breaking the ice.

Keiko blushed, "We.. umm.. wewentonadate..."

"What?"

"We.. w-we went on a date." Keiko replied a bit louder this time.

Asuka's eyes shot wide open, "How did THAT happen?"

Keiko blushed a deeper red before recalling what happened
the week that Shinji first came to Tokyo 3 high.

"Bakayorou." Asuka muttered, "Bet he enjoyed being surround by
girls, that big Hentai!"

Keiko giggled, "Actually he was quite the gentlemen on our dates."

"But why did you two kept 'dating'?"

"I guess it's more of keeping Shinji's Laptop from exploding
from too much messages." Keiko giggled as she replied.

"Heh.. who woulda thought, Shinji the lady killer." Asuka said
with a smirk, "As long as he doesn't turn into another Kaji.."

"I won't even ask why you said that." Keiko smiled.

"HI!" The two girls turned to see Hikari jogging towards them,
"What are you two talking about?"

"We're just talking..."


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


Shinji sighed after the class got dismissed for lunch.

*Wonder what those two are up to,* Shinji thought when
he sees Touji and Kensuke chatting privatly with some
other people, *Aren't those guys with the photography
club?*

"Hi Shinji."

"Hi Keiko." Shinji replied with a smile as the shy brunette
walks up to him.

"So which ice-cream store are we going to try on saturday?"
Keiko asked cheerfully.

"I thought we've gone through all of them already."

"Well... let's go for fast food resturants this time."

"All of them are just Mcdonalds and KFC..." Shinji chuckled,
"Oh yeah, and the odd ball no name fast food resturant pops
up sometimes."

"Then what are we going to do on Saturday?" Keiko frowned
in effort to think of something to do.

"Why don't we go to that arcade we passed by last week,"
Shinji said, "We can invite those two guys AND Asuka with
us."

"Don't think that's a good idea Shinji," Keiko giggled,
"Those two might start a war with Asuka and you'll be caught
right in the middle."

Shinji turned green at the thought but shakes it off, "I
think they'll be too busy beating each other on the games
to drag me into it."

"Yo Ikari!"

"Hey guys." Shinji grinned, "Wanna join me and Keiko to the
arcades this saturday?"

"Sure," Touji shrugged, "I mean someone needs to keep you
two from making out."

"Yeah!" Kensuke laughed.

"Heh, the three stooges." Shinji suppressed a chuckle as
Asuka walks up with Hikari, "So what are you four talking
about?"

"Hey Asuka, wanna come with us to that arcade on Saturday?"
Shinji asked.

"Sure, I mean SOMEONE has to keep you from flirting with
the girls." Asuka smirked.

"I'm never gonna hear the end of this aren't I?" Shinji
sighed.

Everyone looked at each other and nodded in agreement,
"Nope."

"Not you too class rep." Shinji groaned.

"Sorry Shinji," Hikari said with an apologtic smile.

"I'm outta here," Shinji waved his hand dismissivly,
"At least the girls are more accepting then you bunch."

"And off goes Shinji to another quest to hit on girls
and get as many dates as he could on one lunch time."
Kensuke said sarcastically.

"Oh SHUT UP!" Shinji sighed and headed towards the
classroom once again.


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


*At least the teacher is talking about something other
than the third impact now* Asuka thought *Too bad I
already know all this.*

The Red head turned her head slightly to look at the
back of Shinji's head. *Hmm.. wonder what he is doing..*

^Hey Shinji... whatcha doin'?^

^Not much... just trying to stay awake.^

^Heh, I think most of the guys in this class is already
asleep.^

^Actually i'm positive that every other guy in the room
except for a few ARE asleep.^

Asuka raised her eye brows, ^And how would you know?^

^I'm talking to everyone that is awake right now and
only girls seem to be answering.^

^You pervert.. flirting again....^

^Heh, you wish, actually your the only one i'm talking
to right now.^

Asuka felt a blush come up, ^Your an idiot you know
that.^

^And you tell me that EVERYDAY.^

Asuka smiled, *and nothing can stop me from calling you
that now that we're back.*
^I'll talk to you later baka^

^Later^

Asuka turned back to the blackboard filled with mathamatic
equations and examples and sighed, *Math.. how boring...*


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


Shinji frowned at the sight in front of him, guys crowding
around Touji and Kensuke for pictures of his girlfriend.

"You know, Asuka is probably going to kill you if she found
out."

"But she won't." Touji replied.

"How do YOU know." Shinji said with a grin.

"... Your not going to tell her are you?" Kensuke starts to
sweat.

"Oh... maybe..."

"Your evil Ikari." Touji said as they quickly start to pack
up their merchandise.

"Actually, i don't need to tell Asuka," Shinji said with a
shrug, "She's right behind you."

The Idiot duo's faces turned pale and turned around to face
the demoness in her 'you are SOOO going to get a butt kicking
until you eat shiest' mode.
"BAKA HENTAI!!!!"


*******Back to present time*******


"You know, if you keep on shouting like that, you'll get
wrinkles." Shinji said.

"YOU CALLING ME OLD!!"

Shinji winced, "No I'm not calling you old Asuka"

"Baka.." Asuka sighed, "Oh well, I'll just have to get them
back on Saturday."

"Why Saturday?"

"What are you Stuupid! we're going to the arcade on Saturday
right?"

"Right.."

"So I'll get to humiliate them in front of everyone as they
get beaten to a bloody pulp at their own game!" Asuka
said arrogently.

Shinji stared at the red head, "Maybe you should calm down
Asuka. It's just a few pictures."

"Yeah yeah yeah." Asuka waved dismissively.

"RIght now, I'm just hoping that Misato remembered to wash
the pots or else we'll have take out tonight again." Shinji
sighed.

"You actually think that Misato will do the chores that you
gave her?" Asuka raised her eyebrows, "Your a bigger idiot
that I gave credit."

"Sorry."

"I thought you broke out of that habit already." Asuka scrowled.

"Sorry."

"Your hopeless..."


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


*Ever since that Asuka came here, i'm getting the feeling that
Shinji is getting more distant from me* Keiko thought as she
lay on her bed, *Even when we going to have our usual Saturday
outings, he would invite Asuka along, I mean our Saturday meetings
used to be just me and him, now we have Touji and Kensuke along
and maybe even Class rep.*

Keiko sighed and turned to her side, "This sucks..."

"What sucks?"

Keiko yelped and turned towards her sister, "Don't sneak up
on me like that!"

Keiko's sister shrugged, "So what sucks?"

"Non of your buisness."

"I bet it's something about that Shinji guy your always talking
to over the phone."

"..."

"Look sis, if you really like the guy, you should just tell him."

"I can't, he likes someone else."

"So? nothing wrong with telling him."

Keiko buried her head with her pillow, "How can you say that! he
likes another girl and the other girl obviously likes him, how
can i suddenly pop up and say 'oh i actually have a crush on you
just so you know'!"

"I'm just saying, you should maybe tell him that you're interested
in him, at least he'll tell you that you'll have no chance at all
whatsoever and you won't be here feeling sorry for yourself."

Keiko shifted a bit and lifted her head, "..."

"I don't want you to get all worked up on something like this, I
mean your only 14! Theres plenty more time for your to find someone."
Keiko's sister said matter-of-factly, "I bet he'll help set you
up too if you told him."

"..."

"From what i've gathered about this Shinji guy, he probaby likes
you a bit more that just normal friend, so if he really likes this
other girl, he'll still help you."

"But we're spending less and less time together.." Keiko said softly.

"So this is what it's all about..."

"Even when we're spending our time together, his girlfriend would
come along now, it's not just me and him for one day now, it's
me, him, and other people..."

"Well, tell him how you feel."

"Is that the only advice your going to give me tonight?" Keiko
said wiry.

"Yep."

"Then go away, i'm sleepy..." Keiko mumbled.

"Glad you feel better."

"Thanks sis."

"Your welcome."


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


"After that photo fiasco, I woulda thought that you guys actually
learnt something." Keiko muttered as Asuka once again chased them
around the school yard.

"That's Touji and Kensuke for you," Shinji sighed, "They never
learn."

"They day they learn is the day Touji actually asks the class rep-"

"Ask me what?"

Keiko and Shinji stiffened and looked back, "Hi Horaki-san...."
the two said in unison.

"You know you don't need to be so formal at lunch with me."
Hikari said with a frown, "You make me sound old."

"Well, if it makes you feel better, you are very mature for your
age and your beauty is only surpassed by your intelect." Shinji
said florishing.

"Stop hitting on the class rep." Keiko rolled her eyes, "If I
didn't know better, I'd say your REALLY trying to be a cassanova."

"I'm-"

"And don't say your just stating the truth," Keiko said wiry,
"you'd would've been just proving my point."

Hikari blushed, "Well what is Asuka doing..."

"She's just chasing those two for selling photos of her again."
Shinji deadpanned.

"Don't those two ever learn?" Hikari sighed.

"LIke I said, the day those two learn is the day Touji actually
asks yo-"

"SHINJI!!" Touji screamed and dived in attempt to cover Shinji's
mouth.

"Whoops gotta go." Shinji said quickly before dashing off.

"You know what Hikari." Keiko said.

"Know what?"

"I don't think I can stand Shinji acting like that if he keeps
this up." Keiko said.

"What do you mean acting?" The class rep said with a confused
frown.

"Oh, nevermind." Keiko said resting her head on her knees.
*I don't think anyone except for Asuka and me really KNOW the
real Shinji...*


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


"Hey Asuka."

"Hey Shinji."

The two pilots stared at each other and blinked.

"You bored?"

"Yes."

"Oh...."

The two teens once again stared at the TV with bored expressions.

"I have a question Asuka."

"What?"

"How are we going to beat the next angel?"

Asuka begin to speak, but cut herself off and began to think.
*He's right... we won't have the support of Tokyo 3 this time
around because the city defense is down by 45%...*
"We'll just have to figure that one out with Misato, after all,
she's the tactical officer and she knows about us."

Shinji sighed, "Right... I wish we don't need to drag Misato
into this. If anything happened to her, i won't be able to
forgive myself. Even though she doesn't really 'take care' of
us in a sense, she's still a good friend."

"Don't get depressed on my Shinji," Asuka smiled, "besides, it's
not like she's going to be involved in the fighting, the only one
that might get hurt that doesn't know is Wonder girl and I don't
think she minds."

"Still...."

"Baka, I said don't worry!"

"But.."

"Don't make me show you the German Fist of Death."

Shinji cringed, "That sounds bad."

"It is..."
