Wel I have read through the comments again and again and have decided to do a few updates on this story. I am still not ready to fully continue the story yet, I'm still focusing on finishing one other fic, but this will be the next one, I promise.

I don't keep track of disclaimers, dates, or how many errors my story has. The errors are there for a reason of course...heh heh...

Asuka Shinji and the last angel.(chap 2)

"Aw crap...Shinji?"

Shinji Ikari slowely woke to a voice outside his room. The shadow of the person behind his door was definetly that of a female. He was going to call out to see if it was Asuka when the door opened and a purple haired woman walked into his room. He quietly lay on his bed, silent, trying to get his body in motion since he was just waking up.

Misato sat on the edge of his bed and looked down at Shinji. "Shinji. I'm sorry. I know I haven't been spending enough time with you, but there are some things that require my attention at the moment." Shinji vaguely wondered why they were having this conversation before Misato cut into his thoughts again. "That was no reason to leave garbage around my apartment on purpose. If you want to get my attention, you can do it with words, not actions Shinji."

Shinji looked slightly confused at Misato before her words registered and he remembered in vivide detail the events of last night. "OH! The food! I'm sorry Misato, I forgot to clean it up when I spilled it, I was too tired and...well, there wasn't enough time for-..." Shinji was going to try and find more excuses when he also figured out what Misato was getting at. "Huh? No, I didn't do that out of frustration Misato, there were some complicated things last night..."

Misato waited for him to finish his thought, but all he did was sigh and roll over onto his side on his bed, smiling. That was what perturbed her the most, the fact that Shinji had actually smiled on his own for the first time in about a week that she had seen him. She started to get suspicious. "Be honest here Shinji, I know something's up. Would you mind letting me in on it? It's good to see you're looking happy again."

Shinji looked at her for a second before deciding. "No, not yet. If Asuka doesn't say anything then I don't think I should say."

This, of course, took Misato by surprise. She sat there for a few minutes trying to run through the possible scenario's through her head. She was hoping against the most scary one even though it was the most unlikely. "Shinji...you didn't...I hope that you didn't just...last night..."

Shinji's face grew bright red as he figured out what she was saying. "WHAT?!?!??!" He shook his head a few times and tried to push Misato off his bed. "You're sick, where do you get those idea's from anyways?"

Misato started to laugh, she was overjoyed that Shinji was seemingly getting over what was eating him from the inside. After the death of Rei and learning her secret, he was in a state of depression and there was nobody to help him thorugh it this time. Asuka was in the hospital most of the time and Misato even doubted her sanity. Shinji and Asuka had changed so much since they first came here, Misato hated how they were treated like pawns in this war. It was either the fact that he helped himself, or that someone helped him...more likely the latter, Misato thought to herself. She just hoped that Shinji would finally be willing to fight against the last and 17th angel when it appeared. He was the last avaliable pilot left that could pilot Unit-01.

"Okay, you going to cook breakfast or do you want me to? If you want to cook, get out of bed now, I'm hungry." Misato tried to change the mood away from her thoughts.

"Awww, c'mon Misato. What time is it anyway...I just want to sleep-..."

"Fine, you sleep, I'll cook."

"ALRIGHT!!! I'm up okay? See? I'm out of bed, I'm getting ready to-...DON"T YOU DARE GET NEAR THAT STOVE MISATO!!!"

My cooking's not THAT bad is it, Misato silently thought to herself, slightly hurt.

Shinji had finished cooking breakfast for Misato and was silently debating whether he should make breakfast for Asuka as well. He wasn't sure if she would come out today, or what her feelings toward him would be anymore...He finally decided just to whip up a few pancakes in case she did actually get up. Otherwise, he could just save them for her.

Just as Shinji finished his own meal and was walking toward Asuka's room with a plate of food for her, the door opened and out walked a half-asleep red head. She looked at the shock on Shinji's face for a moment before grinning, though it was more of a twitch of her cheeck muscles from the fatigue she was in.

"Guten...Morgan, Baka..." Before Shinji could reply she lazily stomped off into the bathroom. Shinji heard the water running, then Misato's voice from the kitchen:

"Shinji? You didn't eat your breakfast yet, what are you doing in the shower?"

"I'm right here." Shinji walked up behind Misato and she jumped hearing him right behind her.

"Wait a minute....you...here...shower...HUH?!"

"Asuka's awake, I'll leave her pancakes here, so don't worry. You should leave for work now."

Misato's mouth was almost limply hanging open, if it weren't for the fact that it looked as if she was trying to say something which made her jaw bob up and down. "Asuka's...awake?"

Misato finally cracked. She went to the fridge and pulled out a single can of beer and downed it in one gulp. "Damn! This is too much in one morning for me to handle." Shinji was slightly surprised that Misato had just broken her oath to stop drinking, but he didn't have a problem with it at the moment. She seemed happier today, and he found no reason in denying her that feeling. As long as she didn't return to her old habit, it was okay once in awhile.

"We're going to school today, so we'll see you later Misato." Shinji stated as Misato left for work, although he wasn't entirely sure with what Asuka would be thinking. He didn't want to force her to go to school, but after finally being rebuilt less than a week ago, he hadn't been there yet either. He was hoping maybe he could walk to school with Asuka as they normally did.

This was the thought that drove Shinji's willpower that morning. He finally had a reason to continue living. To help, or at least be around Asuka.

-Yeah, this chapter is a bit short I know, but I'm trying to redo most of the story. I orignally wrote this story by sitting at the computer and typing everything on my head and then posting it on fanfiction. The later chapters obviously weren't as good as the first one, so that's why I'm changing it to make more sense. But I would like to point out that it is natural for Asuka to have mood swings.

-KEEP REVIEWING!!! I WANT A REVIEW FOR EVERY CHAPTER!!! IF YOU DON"T, THEN I WILL...uhhh, I seriously don't know...

....YOU"VE BEEN WARNED!!!
