Finding the place where I belong. (Home)
Chapter Two: Two Hearts Reunited
At hearing his words she felt more alive than she has been in the past four years.
"We have a lot to catch up on," Shinji claimed.
"Yeah four years worth. I tell you what, are you still living with Misato?" she wondered if he ever gut and actually moved
out.
"Afraid so, it's not that bad, but it hasn't been the same since you left." 'Great,' she thought, 'he's saying all the
right things.'
"I'm visiting tomorrow I guess we can really catch up then. As I'm sure you'll agree that fitting a four year story into
one night isn't ideal." He nodded in reply.
"Lets do that then, and tonight lets be friends out to have a good time." She could do nothing but find herself agreeing
with him. The night for her passed away so easily. She realized that this was home being with them laughing and going over
old times. All that would make the picture complete was to explain that one thing to him, but that can wait until tomorrow.
**************************************************************************************
She found herself standing outside Misato's apartment. She came to the conclusion, that she has walked the route so many
times in the past that it just came naturally to her. She pushed the door bell. That oh so familiar tune rang, followed by a
familiar face opening the door.
"Good morning Asuka, Misato isn't up yet. Can I fix you some tea?"
"Thank you Shinji, that would be great," She stepped inside it all looked the same it was like she never left. She found
herself taking her usual seat at the kitchen table. On the table were four cans of Misato's beer. She knew that her old
guardian wouldn't be up for at least another couple of hours.
"I see Misato still likes her beer. I guess something's never change."
"Yes I guess so" Shinji handed the tea to her, and sat down opposite her just like he always did. She studied him. His
features had not changed much, just matured. He was clean shaven. She noticed his eyes mostly, and compared them to how they
were when she left. They were no longer cold and harsh. But had more life and warmth in them.
"So how's Germany? What have you been up to in these past years?"
"Other than being on permanent standby in case of an attack, and countless sync tests, nothing much," Shinji smiled.
"What?" she asked him.
"Sounds similar to me. It kinda gets on your nerves after a while."
"I know what you mean. Other than that, my father has been trying to rebuild a relationship with me. Says he feels guilty
about what happened. You just grin and bare it, when your made to live with him" She hated her father for abandoning her, but
over the years she found herself pitying him instead. she had just learnt to let go.
"Anyway enough about me. What about you? Anyone special in your life?"
"No Asuka, no-one special," the young man blushed, "I told you, things haven't been the same without you around". 'Maybe he
missed me more than I thought.'
"I'm studying at the local university, but then again, that's nothing special for someone who's already been." He looked at
her as though implying that he was still beneath her. 'Does he still feel so little of his own worth.' She knew that in many
ways, that she was beneath him.
"Congratulations, on making it. I must admit I've gone back to uni myself. I was inspired by my mother. What are you
studying?"
"Biochemical."
"That similar to me but it's called Biological systems and chemistry."
"I think they do that course at Tokyo-3 uni along side mine." She thought to herself, 'It's more likely now that I could
transfer back. Homes feeling closer all the time.'
There was a noise coming from Misato's room, followed by the door opening and Misato emerging out, in her old t-shirt and
shorts. Misato let out a yawn and scratched her head. Then it seemed to dawn on her that there was another presence in the
apartment.
"Thanks for the flowers Misato, it's nice to know that you still remembered me." Misato's eyes gleamed with joy.
"Asuka!" With that she ran to the young woman's side, to give her the same bear hug that she gave when she left. Doing this
nearly knocked Asuka off her chair.
"How long have you been here? How long are you staying?"
"I arrived about two and a half hours ago. Unfortunately, I'm only staying for three more days. But I want to talk to you
about that..."
"Two and a half hours, why didn't you wake me?!" Misato was disappointed that no-one had given the thought to waken her.
"You had been drinking and I thought it was for the best not to disturb you." Misato knew Shinji was telling the truth, for
public safety she was best not disturbed. Miasto took her place at the table and face the girl she could see in the woman who
sat before her.
"What is it Asuka that you wanted to ask me?"
"I want to come home Misato. You said I'd always have a home with you, so could you find it in your heart to find away to
get me transferred please?" She looked at Misato she pleaded her old guardian to let her come home. She glanced over at
Shinji. He to was looking at Misato. He too seemed to be pleading her case.
"Asuka, I would love for you to come back, home and live with me, and as its you, I'll see what I can do."
"Thank you Misato. If NERV is worried, a new pilot is trained and a new unit built, so second branch is protected." She
hoped that this would aid Misato's decision.
"I know the situation Asuka. I'll do my best, I promise. As long as you do something for me."
"Anything"
"Get your things packed Shinji can help you. Your old room is waiting for you." She couldn't believe it with each moment
her dream was coming true.
Home was waiting for her.

Author's note; I'm trying to make things from Asuka's point of view, Hope the story will now move at a faster pace it should
do with what I've got planned for chapters 3 and 4.
