Hey, just to clarify some stuff, you guys don't mind having guest appearances in the fic right? I don't want this being taken off the site because someone complains.
Dewblossom - Thanks, it seems we both think alike. You will get a special place in this fic at a later chapter, and yes, I know you're a girl.
Just to answer a few question: Yes there will be other parings in this story, just have patience people. Also I don't plan to increase the chapter length. If you look, you'll notice that this fic on average has just over one thousand words per chapter, and that isn't really that bad, besides, will you guys really settle for a drop in updates? I don't think so.
-Chapter 13-

Shinji watched as Misato walked back in to the kitchen. He was about to ask who it was, but before he did that, he saw his two best friends walk in after her.
"Hey guys." He said half-heartedly. "What brings you here?"
"We wanted to talk to you Shinji." Kensuke replied, as him and Touji took a seat at the table.
Misato chose to observe the situation, so she leaned against the kitchen sink and waited to see what this was about.
"Um, Misato?" Shinji asked. "Are you just going to stand there?"
"I want to see what this is about Shinji." She told him calmly. He just sighed, knowing it would be futile to argue against her.
"So, what's up?" He said as he turned to his two friends.
"Did Asuka do that?" Touji asked, pointing to Shinji's bruised face before Kensuke could start talking.
"Yeah." Surprisingly, Shinji smirked. "She punches a lot harder then you."
Touji was about to remark, but then remembered the true reason why they were here, and instead chose to remain silent, passing the torch on to Kensuke.
"Shinji, we really think you should know this." Kensuke said uncomfortably. Misato was now starting to pay real close attention to the conversation.
After staying silent for a moment, Kensuke spoke again: "We set you up."
Shinji frowned. "What do you mean set me up?"
"You know what happened with Sakuya?" Touji asked him.
"How did you know about th-" Realization struck. "Oh."
"Well, we kinda took pictures." Kensuke said guiltily.
"Pictures?" Misato asked, having no idea what they were talking about.
Shinji just ignored her. "You did what?!" Now he was certain of what they were talking about.
"And, we kinda showed them to Asuka." Touji finished.
"WHAT?!" Shinji was mad. "Why the HELL did you two do that?" He yelled at them from across the table.
"It wasn't just us!" Touji pleaded desperately.
"Sakuya was in it too!" Kensuke protested, although he felt extremely guilty, knowing it was mostly his idea.
"Who's Sakuya?" Misato asked, but she was ignored again.
Shinji was speechless. He was angry, and he felt betrayed. Betrayed by two people who he trusted.
Unfortunately, any further conversation was cut off by the ringing of the doorbell. Misato quickly rushed over to see who it was and exited the kitchen, leaving the three boys alone.
Kensuke and Touji observed Shinji's strange expression. He looked like he was about to do something, but was restraining himself with all he had. Because both of his hands were resting on the table, they could also see the methodical clenching and un-clenching of his fist.
Suddenly, they heard quick footsteps approaching the kitchen from the front door, and soon Hikari made her presence known.
"SHINJI IKARI!" She shouted at him. "HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO ASUKA?!"
Moments later when he didn't answer she slapped him. Misato rushed in to try and stop Hikari but it was too late.
"Hikari!" Both Kensuke and Touji yelled desperately. "Relax, we can explain!"
She looked from Shinji to Kensuke and then to Touji, a deep frown forming on her face.

Back in Rei's apartment, the love bringer found himself very bored by the Blue Haired girl's routine. Cupid had reverted himself back in to his misty shadow form, and was restlessly circling around the room.
"Rei?" He broke the silence.
"What?"
"Um, aren't you going to do anything today?" He asked her.
"No."
"You're just gonna lie there?" If he had a face his expression would have dropped.
"That is correct."
"Aw man!" He protested. "C'mon! Let's go somewhere and do something!"
"Why?"
"Because it's boring here!" He exclaimed loudly.
She considered his offer for a second. "What would you like to do?" She finally asked him.
"Let's go out and spread love around!" He said happily.
It wasn't long before she replied: "No."
"What!?" He asked in surprise. "What do you mean 'No'?"
"I do not agree with the manipulation of people's emotions." She said simply.
Cupid thought about this for a moment and said; "Okay, how about this: We both go out, and you get to decide whether or not I enchant anyone." He was hopeful that maybe this will convince her.
Rei thought about this for quite a bit. "Alright." She finally said.
"Great!" Cupid said happily as he followed Rei out of the apartment. "We're gonna have a lot of fun Rei, I promise you that!"

Back in the other apartment, Touji and Kensuke had finished re-telling the story to Misato, Shinji and Hikari, this time with more detail so they would understand exactly what they meant.
Shinji had calmed down somewhat, Misato wore an expression of pure annoyance and Hikari was looking even angrier then before.
"How could you two do such a thing?!" She yelled at Touji and Kensuke.
"Sorry Hikari." They both said. "We feel bad enough as it is."
"Well it doesn't make it right!" The freckled girl then turned to Shinji. "I'm sorry for hitting you Shinji."
"It's okay." He replied without really turning to look at her.
"Anyway." Misato interrupted. "What you guys did was very wrong." She took another swig of her beer. "I'm very disappointed in you both."
This struck Kensuke and Touji pretty bad. Their object of affection and adoration was disappointed in them. "We're really sorry, Misato!" They both moaned.
"However." She interrupted again. "I'm somewhat impressed that you both owned up."
They both smiled again.
"It's not really my place to meddle." Misato added after a while. "You have to make this up to Shinji and Asuka somehow."
"Hikari?" Shinji suddenly spoke. "Where is Asuka? I thought she'd be with you?"
"She's staying at my place." She told him.
"That's good." Shinji smiled as well. Turning to his two friends he said: "I guess you should go over there and tell her what really happened."
"WHAT?!" They protested with looks of horror on their faces. "ARE YOU CRAZY?!"
"That's a good idea Ikari-kun" Hikari smiled. "I'll show them both the way, and they could go and apologize to her as well."
"Listen Shinji." Touji spoke calmly. "I know what I did was wrong but I don't exactly want to die at the age of fourteen."
Kensuke just sat by, still with the same look of horror.
"Sorry guys." Shinji said with a grin. "My mind's made up."
Touji's cool demeanour wavered and he too, developed a horrified expression like Kensuke's.
"Hey." Shinji said lightly. "Don't look so bad, she might forgive you."
"Somehow I doubt it." They both replied stoically.

Well, not much to say at the end of the chapter, you can pretty much guess what's going to happen next.
Anyway, this website is being all screwy and messing my uploads up. I hope the problem gets fixed.
