Realization
Chapter 3

Today was going to be the day, that she was going to do something positive. She was going to do it for her daughter. She has to break free from the hold her mother still seamed to have on her life.

It was ever since that night she found the picture of her old friends, her true friends, and of him. She knew that he belonged to another, that oppotunity had past her by. All she wanted was to be his friend now.

She wanted to show her daughter Japan. After all she had inherited japanesse blood from her. Plus it would give her daughter a history lesson and appriecate what she went throught during the Angel war. She knew she could pull a few strings at NERV. She was after all a Major and Operations Manager of the second branch. Thats it she thought I'm going to break free,I'm goimg back.

Dear Hikari
I know I haven't wrote in a long while. Believe
me it's kinda complicated, and I promise to explain every-
thing in good time. I'm writing to let you know I'm planning
on visisting Japan soon. I'm bringing Kyoto with me aswell.
I'm kinda giving her a lesson of her past and inheritance.
So I was wondering if you could recommend me a hotel for
me. As I'm not the best jugde of the hotels in Japan anymore.

Hope to see you soon.
Asuka.

Dear Asuka
That's fantastic news. It'll be good to see you
again. However I'm not going to let you stay in some hotel.
I've spoken to Toji, and he agrees with me, that you should
stay with us. After all Kyoto, can play with our daughter
Tatsuri. Lets us know whan you're arriving.

Your friend
Hikari Suzuhara

Seeing this letter made her feel more hope than she had felt in a long time.
"Mummy who's the letter from?" She took the girl onto her lap.
"It's from Auntie Hikari, and Uncle Toji. We're going to stay with them. when we visit Japan, You'll like that wouldn't you?" Her daughter face came to life with excitment.
"Really! Is Daddy comming to?"
"No I'm afraid Daddy has to work, but we can have fun together, and you can play with your cousin Tatsuri" Just then her husband returned home. Her excited daughter jumped out of her lap.
"Daddy, daddy do you have to work. Why can't you come to Japan with us?"
"What are you talking about Kyoto" she felt his eye bore into her.
"Kyoto, why don't you go to your room, and start sorting out what you want to take" With that the four year old ran off to her room. Now she was going to face another battle, this one was with her husband however.
"What's this about Japan?"
"I've just arranged a visit to Japan as an educational trip. I am 1/4 japanesse. It's in her blood too."
"You aren't going to Japan. I won't allow you to go. Your place is here."
"I didn't fight the Angels to have YOU command me around, I', going and that's that." With that she turned away. Suddenly she felt a hand grab her wrist, he spun her round, and struck her across the face. Making her fall to the ground, due to the force of the blow. She touched her face, where the blow had connected wwith her skin. Looking at her hand she saw blood. A side of her was realsed at that second, it had long been dorment.
"WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE. Nobody hits me. If you ever lay a finger on me again. You will no longer have the equipment to be classed as a man. As I will personally remove you manhood. NOW me and Kyoto are going. and not YOU or a BLOODY ANGEL is going to stop me." with tha she left to pack.

Author's notes; I just had to put some more fire back into Asuka. Yes she realizes that she has made a mistake, but now she's going to try and do something about, and not even an angel is going to stop her. She got her drive back and whats driving her forward is her daughter. All comments welcome.
