Ch. 7: United in Battle

Before, I start this chapter I feel that I should apologize for not
informing you that I'm writing this fan fiction as a kind of demo for
an anime, not as the usual read through story. For this error I'm
sorry. This is why some of you might have been confused about the
last chapter. In this chapter, is where the extra chapters that I'm
planning on writing will fall into place. Also, some of you might
start to think that this story starts to become a romance, this was
unintentional, and the 'romance' only evolves into a type of
brother/sister relationship. This just helped me move the story
along. Now, to the story.

"What!!!!" both Brain and Asuka screamed.

"You want me to live here with her as a form of co-op training exercise!"

"Come on, Brian, it's not that bad of an idea. Besides, you two have some issues you need to resolve on your own, and this is the best way for you two to deal with them" Misato said calmly. "But, what about me! What if he goes all berserker on me and tries to attack me in the night!" yelled Asuka.

"Like I'd want too," Brian said sarcastically.

"Look, like I said, you two have some issues you need to resolve on your own, and we need you two to be some what in sync with each other. We still have no idea what that weapon was, but we do know, both targets must be neutralized with in 1 min 30 sec of each other, or else both will recover. So, you two have about 3 weeks to work out your differences. After those 3 weeks, the two targets will be completely recovered. I'll come back in about 3 weeks to let you out, you should have enough food in here to last you two that long, also, I will come around every so often to check up on you." Misato, then walked out of the room, closed the door, and locked it.

The two were then left alone to 'deal' with their differences.

"So, would you like to sleep on top, or on the bottom, either way is fine with me." Brian said gesturing at the bunk bed in the corner.
Asuka, not noticing the top bunk screamed, "You sicko! I'm not sleeping with you!"
"Get you mind outa the gutter. So, you want the top bunk or bottom bunk?"
She blushed, "I'll take the top bunk, I don't want you climbing all over me to get to your bed."
"Fine by me. I'm gona go take a shower, I need to stop this throbbing pain on my."
"Oh, No you don't! Ladies first, I go before you and NO.."
"You're hardly a lady!"
"Jerk! No peeking while I'm in the shower!"

She then jumped into the bathroom, closed the door and locked it.

"This will end badly." Brian said sitting down and rubbing the back of his neck.
"I heard that!" Asuka yelled through the door.

He sat in silence for about 15 minutes.

"Ok Brian, I'm all freshened up." Asuka said brightly emerging from the bathroom in what looked like only a towel, "So, Brian what do you think of my body? Nice an't it."
"What do you take me for?"
"Excuse me? I just thought you would like to see this little show."
"I'm not stupid. I know you have cloths on under that towel."
"Damn," Asuka said while dropping her towel, "How did you know?"
"Like I said, I'm not stupid. Now if you're done, move over."
"Jerk!"

Asuka was confused. How could he have stayed so calm? She thought she could have made him look like a complete idiot. That act had been so funny when Shinji fell for it two years ago.

Tensions stayed high for the first several days. When there were only two weeks left, the tension finally erupted into a fistfight.

"Take that! And that!"
"What the hell is going on in there?" said Misato.

She opened the door. What she saw inside was Brian and Asuka in an all out brawl.

Misato shouted, "SECURITY!"

"Asuka!"
"What Brian!"

"A security team will be here soon!"
"So!"
"So. we should take them out before we finish our fight!"
"You do have a point there."

In came the security team. Misato was completely shocked to see the two stop fighting against each other and start to fight with each other. At first each did their own thing, but when they were surrounded, she thought she saw the two look at each other. And could that have been a smile?

"Asuka? Shall We?"
"Ya, lets take these goons out, together.'

Misato smiled as she saw the security team get thrown around like a bunch of rag dolls. When all of the 'goons' where K.O.ed Misato spoke, "Not bad, not bad at all. You two are a force to be recond with when you work together."

"Ya, I guess we are," Brian said and giving Asuka a quick smile, "What do you say we finish the Zentrati now? Metatron should have finished fixing Anubis now, and Eva02 should be repaired as well."
Asuka blushed slightly, "Sure"

Those two make a cute couple, Misato thought to herself. Then the reason she was here in the first place hit her.

"Oh Asuka, Brian I just remembered, Shinji and Rei went to help the mining team on the moon, so they will be gone for the next three weeks.
"Got it." Both replied in unison.

If anyone is wondering where my 'lost chapters' are going to fall into place, it's right where you think it would fall. They will fill in some of the details that went on while Asuka and Brian where in 'lock up'. Look for them to show up on-line after part 2 is complete. It'll be in the humor section and they'll make for a quick, yet comical read. Remember how I said this was like a demo for an anime? Well once every thing is on-line I'm gona try, keyword here is TRY, to get permission to use the characters in a self-made Fan Fiction Anime. Keep your fingers crossed, but I don't think I'll get permission any time soon.
