Disclaimer: See chapter 1 already!

Well chapter 2's finally here. I've gathered that the characters are a little OOC at the moment, but they should be getting back to their old selves soon! Anyway – Enjoy!

Oh yeah, thanks to ST Pika and devilwasp for the pre-read.

Chapter 2

Knockout!

"So you wanna talk?" Shinji got rather nervous. It wasn't that he didn't like talking to Asuka, going on what happened five minuets ago, he would be happy to 'talk'. This time he was nervous because she had a glint in his eye, telling him that something was up. It also made Shinji want to cower under his bed, but he tried to ignore that side of it. "Uhm... yeah... w..well, why not" he stuttered "What in particular did you have in mind?"

Asuka quickly reared back and slapped him round the face with particular force, saying "Why" *slap "didn't" *slap "you" *slap "tell me" *slap "sooner, baka!"

Once the barrage ended she waited for a reply. After about a minuet she got a bit worried. His body was limp, and his eyes were shut.

"Oh crap," she thought, "I finally find out he likes me and I go and kill him" She starts pacing back and forth, unfortunately paying no attention to where she's walking and trips up on a pillowcase. She comes crashing down on Shinji (who was just coming round) and both are knocked out as they skulls connect painfully. A second before he passes out, Shinji feels Asuka grab him round the waist.

On hearing a large crashing sound from Shinji bedroom, Misato decided it was time to step in. Obviously (in her opinion) Asuka was taking Shinji for a ride and he'd just fallen off. She got the second surprise of the evening when she opened the door.

"Oh my god no"

She saw Shinji and Asuka lying on his bed, Asuka on top of him, with her arms around him. "Well," she thought, "It looks cute, but they've gone slightly too far now"

"Right, both of you get up now." She said sternly.

After getting no response and no movement from either of them, she walked up to the unaware (and unconscious) couple, and gave Asuka a small shake. "Hey, come on...wake up" she said gently. Then she noticed a small trickle of blood running down both of their foreheads. She tensed; they had really done some damage this time. Quickly, she took their vitals and got up immediately to phone the ambulance.

"Wow, that's an unfamiliar ceiling" Shinji stared to no one in particular as he looked up at a great vast nothingness of white. He sat up and looked around where he was sitting. All around him there was nothing but whiteness. It was just... empty.

He got up off the floor and stood there, trying to see if there was anything at all in the distance. One thing he did notice was a sound. He couldn't quite tell what it was yet, but it was getting louder. He could hear it quite clearly now, it sounded familiar, like someone screaming.

"Hang on a minuet, that sounds like... Asuka?!!"

Too late, he looked up to see a very confused redhead land on him "Ow..." he groaned to himself as he studied the situation he was now in. Asuka had landed heavily on him and was in the process of groggily waking up. It was then he noticed where her hand had strayed. There was only one phrase to describe this particular situation. "Oh bugger." He tried to remove himself from under her, but found he couldn't when she suddenly shifted position and ended up pressing her chest in his face.

Then she woke up.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------- Gendo's Office

As Gendo was sitting in his darkened office, he was sure he could hear "Baka" being yelled form nowhere in particular ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------

"BAKA!! What the hell do you think your doing!"

"I, Uhm..." "help" he pleaded in his mind "It wasn't my fault, you have to believe me!"

"And WHY should I believe a hentai like YOU!"

"Hate to say it Asuka, but he wasn't the one being hentai" said a voice.

The ambulance crew had arrived about half an hour ago, and finally the on field paramedic walked out of the bedroom and walked into the kitchen, to explain what had happened to the teens to the Major. "Well" he started "for some reason they are both comatose, it looks like both of their heads have suffered a knock, which would account for the bleeding. We'll know more once we get them into the hospital" On hearing this Misato immediately downs a beer (her sixth) and heads to get another. "Why does it always happen to those two kids, even when happiness is just within reach, it still can be snatched away from them"

"I'd like to come with you when you take them down" she asked

"That's fine," he replied

"Uhm... I think we have a problem here guys" the other paramedic called through from the bedroom. "It can't be much worse, can it?" he asked in a quiet voice

"Well it depends on what you mean by worse – They won't let go of each other"

"Oh well," the other said with a forced smile "I suppose it can't get much worse!"

"Heh... Asuka, d.. did you just hear a voice," Shinji asked nervously.

"Yeah, I...I did" Even she couldn't hide the fact she was scared.

"Just as a side note Asuka, what did it mean when it said *I wasn't being hentai?"

Asuka's face turned as red as her hair as she quickly got up and hid her face. "Hate to interrupt your argument about your social life but..." the voice said again "I haven't got that much time" A figure materialised in front of them. He looked a couple of years older than them and looked normal, except for his blood red eyes, like Rei's but darker.

Both Asuka and Shinji looked a little scared at the stranger sudden appearance, after about half a minuet of staring at each other Asuka gained the courage to speak. "Who the hell are you?" "Well," the figure said "To be truthful I'm an angel," both teens shuddered "Who... wait, hear me out – I'm here to help you" the angel finished "Oh really..." Shinji muttered "Yes really!" the angel retorted, "My full title is the angel of destiny, but you can call me Zef" "Wow, an angel with a nickname" Asuka mocked "Why the hell are we here then?" Shinji asked "I'm gonna help you save the world!" Zef stated. Both teens sweatdropped. "Again," he added Then fell on the floor in syncronisation.

Anyway keep reviewing and I'll keep writing!
