Disclaimer: Evangelion, I don't own. Gainax, I don't own either.
But I sure hell wish I did. Oh, by the way. I wish to apologize about the delay. I'm just in high school you see and it's not easy balancing schedules all the time so I guess all I can say is sorry. Hope you can forgive me.
*****************************************************
'Did I hear her right? Did she just say.'
"That's right! I am Shinji's girlfriend." No mistake. She said that she was my girlfriend.

Season 1: Fall/More Trouble than your Worth.
Class, late afternoon.
".So by multiplying 9.8m/s2 by the time and converting the mass of the falling body, you can get the instantaneous velocity."
I wish I could listen to that boring old goat's lecture but I can't. My thoughts keep reverting back to this morning...
___________________________________________________
"I am Shinji's girlfriend!" Asuka declared with a smile.
Kito's unconvinced expression soon vanished and was soon replaced by a look of pure happiness.
"WHOOHOO!!!! Ikari, Shinji is finally a man!!!"
"WHAT?!" I gasp.
"Shinji, I never expected you to be the romantic type." Touji said with both thumbs up.
"Hehe-Hehe.sigh" 'My insides feel like they're being scrambled.'
"You betrayed our group!!! How could you? You said that we would stay bachelors for life!" Kensuke yelled from behind Touji.
"IDIOT" Touji and Kito yelled in chorus.
"You know you can't keep a guy from falling in love!" Kito said holding his hands to his chest looking all glassy eyed like he was about to cry.
Surprising, this coming coming from Kito. Who would've known that he was into love and all that stuff?
"And besides, just because you're gay doesn't mean we all have to be!!" Kito declared.
'Oh what do you know? Kensuke's ga.' An icy wind blew that very moment. I am pretty sure that was the first time my brain ever felt so cold.
"NO WAY! Kensuke you're. GAY?!!!" Touji and I screamed unceremoniously.
Kensuke turned away for a moment, the background engulfed in darkness and a single spotlight on him.
"So, my secret's out hmm." "In that case."
Without any warning, Kensuke suddenly latched on to my arm like a monkey hanging on for dear life. A very disgusting display if you ask me.
"Shinji! I love you so much! Please don't leave me for this hussy!" He said drawing his face nearer to mine. This was probably the scariest moment in my life, not even Asuka's blood lust could compare to the shivers of horror that this guy sent through me.
"Uhhh! GET HIM AWAY FROM ME!!!" I screamed as I tried to pry him off my ever numbing arm. I swear, the blood was cut off from my fingers 100%.
"Oh Shinji, we'll be so happy together!" he said leaping at me again.
"He sounds like that guy from Saber Marionette." Said Touji.
That's when I saw the hand come out from behind Kensuke and roughly grab his collar and pull him flat on the floor. Asuka's usually calm blue eyes had those 'Death look' glares on. 'This definitely won't end well.'
"Who are you calling a hussy glasses boy?" she shrieked, cracking her knuckles.
Kensuke began to hear funeral bells ring in his head as Asuka's fist made contact with what used to be his face and although he screamed like a guy as his pummeling continued, his voice reached a slightly higher tone when her knee made touchdown contact with his gonads.
"GYAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
And it didn't end there.
"Oh don't think that I'm through with you!"
"H-H-H.e.L..p!!!!!!"
BASH!!! SLAP!!! DOMM!!! BANG!!! SWAP!!! CRASH!!!
***************************************************************
Back at Class/Present time.
Class was just about over and Kensuke hasn't recovered yet. 'Honestly, who would've known?' And even though the morning was rather hectic, that didn't stop it from pouring in on the pop quizzes and mindless examinee reviews.
"Sigh. This sucks! " I grumble incoherently. As much as I wanted to walk out of school right now, I can't, not at least until the whole Kensuke with a bloody face thing is over and done with. There is only one person who I can blame for all this. 'Thanks a lot Asuka!'
But now that I think about it. She has been gone quite a long time. 'I just hope her punishment isn't too severe, a t least a few weeks of corrective therapy and a year or two locked in Tokyo's mental ward."
"Mr. Ikari, Shinji. Please proceed to the principal's office immediately!" The loud speaker shook with anger and disgust as the voice came through. The class gave me a 'You're in for it now look' as I stood from my chair and left the room. I guess Asuka must've put the blame on me, typical.
**************************************************************************** *****
Principal Ikedo's office.
When I arrived at the Principal's office, I was taken by surprise when I heard loud cackling laughter coming from inside the room. I took a peek inside only to find Asuka, happily chatting with Mr. Ikedo. "What's going on in here?" I asked as I entered.
The two stop their conversation and turn their gazes to me. "Mr. Ikari." Mr. Ikedo began. "Asuka told me that you gave her an exciting tour of our wonderful school!"
'Exciting?' "Uhh, y-yes sir. I did."
"That's good. I hope we have more students like you Ikari, so caring and good mannered. Keep it up." Mr. Ikedo said giving a smile. "And as for you, Asuka. Try not to bully the boys next time, okay?" He said giving Asuka a big hearty smile.
"Yes uncle. I'll remember that." She replies returning the smile.
'Uncle? Did she say uncle?' The principal is Asuka's uncle. My life couldn't get any better. ________________________________________________________________________
Anyone could pretty much guess what happened on the way home from school. With all the problems arising and all the unexpected events that happened today, who in this God-forsaken world wouldn't get pissed if the cause of all these problems was walking right next to you? "Why in God's name did you say that you were my GIRLFRIEND?!!"
Asuka merely smiled that cute smile of hers and walked on. Then she spoke, "I did that for two reasons. One was to keep other perverted boys like you off my back and two." She stopped as we saw our building up ahead. But I was not going to let her off the topic so easily.
"Well, what is two?" I ask with snarl.
She then starts to walk again. "Hmm, two I guess, I still haven't figured it out yet. So I guess it's up to you to find out." 'Wow, thanks Asuka. Thanks for making my life a living hell.'
**************************************************************************** *****
Misato's condo; Home.
We made it back to the building without anything else said. I didn't ask anymore questions and she did say anything else. And as soon as we made it back into the condo she just went straight for her room. 'Something's wrong here. Why didn't she put up much of a fight when I was yelling at her?'
Somehow, it bothered me more than it was supposed too. I made my way over to the door of her room and knocked. I didn't really expect her to let me in or even talk to me but I just had to know if something was wrong. She is sharing a condo with me after all. "Asuka, are you okay?"
No answer. I guess she doesn't want to talk. ________________________________________________________________________
I couldn't sleep that night. Something was bothering me but I didn't know what. Could it be that-? 'Oh, Asuka.'
I didn't know what it was but a feeling in my gut told me to check if she was okay. So I proceeded to Asuka's room and knocked once. 'What are you nuts? It's 2 o 'clock in the morning! You can't expect her to be awake now, do you?'
To my surprise though, she answered with a, "No I don't have any spare tampons Misato!"
'Yikes. A little too much information can be bad for your health.' "Ahem! Asuka it's me. Shinji."
"Shinji? What do you want baka?!" she hissed. As soon as her acid tone sinks into my being, I begin to wonder, what the hell am I doing here?
"I'm sorry if I woke you. I just thought that you might want to talk or something."
"Talk? Talk about what?! What's so important that it can't wait til morning?!" She growls.
'This was a big mistake.' "Sorry, it's nothing important. Good night Asuka." A good escape, walking away now frees me from having to hear her next barrage of insults until morning. I just wanted to talk. Why does she have to be such a bitch about it?
"Shinji, wait!" she calls out. I stop for a second then turn toward the one who called me. Asuka stood on the opposite end of the hallway wearing nothing but a long nightgown that seemed to show of her assets perfectly.
"A-Asuka." After catching a glimpse of Asuka, it became hard work holding in the nosebleed that seemed like it was going to blow up out of my head in a bloody waterfall.
"You asked if we could talk/"
I nod in reply. God, I don't know if it's the lighting or what but seeing her in this way seems to be giving me a different impression of her.
"Shinji, please stop staring. It's embarrassing"
'Oh god. Bad Shinji! Staring at sexy girls isn't your style! You're not a pervert!' Then my sight begins to move up from her legs to the tight figure in the practically thin fabric she was in. 'Shinji! You pervert!' I scolded myself.
"Shinji, come with me to the kitchen for a second." She said, her tone becoming a bit serious. I followed her into the kitchen but not before pulling out a few ingredients from the refrigerator.
"I think it would be good if we ate as we talked. Don't you?"
Asuka nodded in reply. As I started preparing the materials I needed, I noticed that her eyes seemed rather red. Could she have been crying?
"Asuka." I began. "Why did you choose to come to Japan?"
"C'mon, that's not exactly what you really wanted talk about now is it?" she giggled.
I smiled at that. I started heating some tea for the both of us, just something to drink. "But seriously Asuka, why? It's not like there aren't any other universities in the U.S."
"Why? Don't you enjoy my company?" she teased. I felt myself begin to blush as I thought of what I was going to say. It's not like I don't enjoy being around her, it's just that she pisses me off sometimes.
"H-how do I answer that? " "Hmmm? You do give me additional chores to take care off. And most of the time, you go berserk on me for no reason."
This was good. This was my chance to get back at her. I tried to hold in a laugh as I watched her features turn from smiling to a ravenous scowl.
"I wonder what else? Oh yeah, you deceive my friends and put me in really awkward positions."
"Is that all?" she snarled.
"Yeah, that pretty much sums it up, unless you want to add something more to my list."
Asuka frowned. "I'm not that bad am I?" "You don't know the half of it."
To be continued.
