Chapter 2-Asuka's pain

Board Room

"Sit down…please." asks a man in a calm voice. The man is some kind of representative but no one knows where from. Shinji and Asuka sit down, obviously bewildered by the suggestive tears of Misato.*(Shinji) I wonder what is this about…what could bring Misato to tears like this…* "There is some news…from Germany…and it effects both Shinji and Asuka…mainly Asuka." Continues the stranger in an eerie tone. Asuka's eyes widen and her attention is drawn to this stranger in a suit. "There was a terrorist attack at the EVA production plant in Germany…all of the units that were in production are now destroyed and all of the personal working there…murdered." Announces the man as he adjusts his glasses. Shinji and Asuka look at the man in disbelief…their cold faces showing their silent emotion. "And Asuka…there is news about your family…we have just received word that a group of the same terrorists entered the home of your foster family…they …were all killed…and the terrorists left a letter, they say they are coming after…you next." Finishes the man in the suit. Asuka's face showers in a flow of tears, she stands up and runs out of the room. "Wait…Asuka!" Screams Shinji as he runs off to chase her.

Elevator leading to the parking garage

Asuka stands in the elevator, just as the doors of the elevator are about to close, Shinji jumps in. The doors close with a thud, Shinji turns to look at Asuka…who is leaning up against the wall with her head hung…her hands covering her crying face. "Asuka…I don't know what to say… I am sorry." says Shinji in a morose voice. "What is their to do, my only family left…is dead, you even got your father, your lucky!" Screams Asuka. Asuka removes her hands form her face and looks up at Shinji, her face is still dowsed in tears of pain. She gives Shinji a look…that look could pierce even the coldest of souls. Shinji gives her a smile, letting her know every thing will be alright. The elevator stops and Misato is standing at the door of it. "Come on you two lets go home" announces Misato with a fake smile.

Misato's Apartment

The door to the apartment opens…three gloomy souls enter. The three of them wonder what will happen next…but no one knows what will come of this. "I am going to my room." comments Shinji as he takes of his shoes at the door. "So am I…" replies Misato in unenthusiastic tone. Asuka takes off her shoes and goes off to sit at the kitchen table. After a while Asuka gets up make some tea and then resumes her sorrowful loneliness. "Shinji…can I come in…"Asks Asuka through Shinji's bedroom door. "…I guess so…"replies Shinji. The door to Shinji's room flies open and there stood a broken girl before Shinji, wrapped in the cold arms of pain. The pain she feels is not one of the physical kind…but one of the soul. The door closes with a gentle push and Asuka started towards Shinji who was on his bed as usual, listening to his cassette player. Asuka sits next to Shinji… and her eyes turn to look at Shinji. Shinji turns off the player and stares at Asuka, as if in a trance.

"Asuka…I don't know what to say…" Say's Shinji calmly. Asuka face forms a smile towards Shinji. "You know…you and Misato…are my only family left." Replies Asuka through her tears. "So you…see me as family now, huh?" Asks Shinji. "I…never wanted to admit it…but I do care for you and Misato…I was blinded by my ego…I am so ashamed of myself!" replies Asuka. Those words ran through Shinji's mind…over and over again. "I can truly say I am sorry…and lie about it…like used to" Said Asuka as the tears stopped to flow from her eyes. "I…hope you don't hate…me." exclaims Asuka as she gives a friendly grin to Shinji. "No…I never hated you…I was just hurt that you did not want to talk to me." Replied Shinji.

RING RING RING went the phone as a call came in. Shinji and Asuka could hear Misato in the next room talking to the person on the other line. Suddenly they hears the phone being slammed down and footsteps coming to Shinji's door. The door slammed open with Misato standing there. "Guy's…we need to get to NERV… and soon, another production plant has been destroyed and this time a couple of completed EVA units were taken!" Announces Misato. "Then why do we have to leave?" Asks Shinji in a puzzled face. "Because…intelligence has reason to believe that they coming here next…and with EVA units." Replies Misato quickly. *(Asuka) Oh no…what is going on…will I have to fight…will I die?

NERV Headquarters

"What will we do?" Asks Asuka to Risuko. "I…don't know…that is up to the 'terrorists'." Replies Risuko in condescending tone. "This is no time to be jacking around, damn it." Yelps Misato. "Fine…" replies Asuka. "Guess we will have to double up and get ready" Continues Misato.

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM
