Hey guys... Sixth Chapter yay!! Thanks for all your
input and all that. But do you guys really like
Shinji/Asuka fics that much, i mean there's a lot
of those out there already, so tell you what, I think
I'll write two endings so one is to satisfy you
with a Shinji/Asuka ending and another for poor
Kasumi.

If you even bother reading the ending notes I make,
I figured that Chron won't be going crazy yet and
Asuka won't be going out with some other guy yet... heh
well rather going to be and guess what?? ASUKA IS
IN THE FUTURE!!! So enjoy this chapter and I'll see
what I can whip up later

If your looking for the legal stuff, refer to the last
Chapter, I'm really bored of writing them =p

Destiny and Time
Chapter 6

Shinji woke up in his new apartment with a massive
headache.
*Painkillers.. where the heck are they... I bet this is
even worst than Misato's after two six-packs*

Shinji laughed outloud at the thought,
*Who am I kidding.. nothing can be worst than Misato's
Hang-over* he started to walk out of the room then he
heard a soft moan.

*Who the heck...*

He looked around the apartment to find a sleeping
Kasumi on his couch.

"Just like an Angel..." Shinji whisper to himself absent-
mindedly. He started to smile to himself then decide to
take a shower, hoping his headache would go away.


*******************************


"Huh..." Kasumi let out a small yawn as the sound of
the shower woke her.

*Where am I* Kasumi looked around *Right.. I slept at
Shinji's place, hope he doesn't mind*

She stood up and head for the kitchen to make breakfast
for them both. Kasumi spent few minutes humming to
herself a tune as she flipped some pancakes and made
toast.

"Hey what's that smell Asu.. Kasumi" Kasumi flinched
mentally as she heard the first part of the name,
Asuka. *Why did he just call me, or was about to call
me that... why..*

"Pancakes and Toast you dummy, so why don't you come out
and let me take a bath."

"Well if you want me to come out nude then I'll come out
right away" Shinji joked as he walked out, fully dressed
(What... did you think I'll let Shinji walk out in front
of Kasumi nude!! your crazy)

"Ahhh" Kasumi jumped a bit as he saw Shinji, "Umm.. good
morning I guess, your done right??"

"Yup, wow.. this looks good, mind if I start without you"

"Sure" Kasumi let out a small smile as she starts to
undress. *Jirou...*


*******************************


"Yo.. Kensu" Chron walked up to a very busy Kensu, "I
just love school holidays..."

"Whatever Chron..." Kensu continue to stare into the
computor screen.

"Hey, have you seen Kasumi, I heard she got Jirou a new
apartment and just wanna get his number but she wasn't
home"

"Yeah, sure Chron..."

"AARRRGGGHHH your no help"

"Yeah, you too.. have a nice day"

Chron stormed out of the room in hopes of bumping into
'Jirou' so he has something to do..


*******************************


Shinji and Kasumi is walking around in the park in silence.
Kasumi started to open her mouth, but hesitates to speak
up.

"Kasumi... what you said last night..." Kasumi sighed with
relieve as the silence is broken, "Do you really mean what
you said..."

"Of course... why..."

"I...We...You... umm.. I don't know how to tell you.... but
... ummm..."

"What, you can tell me... what is it Jirou"

"Well.. you see... I.. err..." Shinji faultered as he knew
what he is about to say is going to crush her.

"Tell me, please" Kasumi litterly begged Shinji to tell
her what he is saying. Then Shinji just spilled.

"I need time.. I can't be with you now" Shinji was as
shocked as Kasumi as he said the words.

"Why... why not..." Kasumi said softly and with watery eyes

"I just can't.." Shinji, who right now can't even bear a
single glance of Kasumi,"We can't BE together" with that
said, he started to walk away

"Why..." Kasumi started to cry as Shinji slowly walked away
from the park.


*******************************


Chron wandering in the park near Shinji's new apartment, hoping
he can find him and actually do something other than just walking
around like an idiot, but instead, he found a crying Kasumi.

"Kasumi.. what's up"

Kasumi turned to face Chron, the EVA pilot was shocked to see the
tear stained face of Kasumi and almost fell down.

"Whoa.. Kasumi, your... your crying.."

"Yeah, so... go away"

"Oh come on... stop blubbering.. where's Jirou?? Is he with you"

Kasumi quickly jumped from depressed to extremely depressed and
starts to cry again.

".... ok.. I think I'll leave you alone then..."

Kasumi just kept crying as Chron walked slowly away from Kasumi.
*What did you do to her Jirou... I thought you liked her... man
you are dead when she get's over you*
Images of Jirou being ripped apart by Kasumi started to appear in
Chron's mind, he shivered... alot... before he continued his search
for somthing to do.


*******************************


*Wow.. I never thought that Japan still has some green hills near
places like these* Shinji looked around and saw a spot beside a lake
and sat down
*Damn, shoulda brought a fishing rod so I can do some fishing here..
I guess I'll just buy one when I go into town*

Shinji... I can come get you now... you better cook something nice
for me when I get here

The Third Child jumped as he heard the voice of the Second

*I'm hearing voices... this is freaky... I'm hearing Asuka's voice*

Shinji stood up again and walked right beside the lake, "I guess I
should take a quick bath... no one's around right" Shinji said
out loud before he striped and jumped into the lake


*******************************


"Are you sure about this Asuka, I mean R-"

"MISATO, how many times do I have to say this, I'll do this, don't
worry, I'll get Shinji back here by dinner time"

"Pilot Soryu," Asuka turned around to see the commander looking at
her, "when you reach your destination, go to the NERV headquarters
and show this to the medical people at that time period, they will
get you what you need to get back"

"Understood Sir" Asuka took the card and headed towards the labs

"Asuka, are you sure about this, Ritsuko said that this might not
work"

"Have more faith Misato, it'll work.. don't worry" Asuka grinned,
"If it doesn't, that means you can have Kaji all to yourself, it's
a win-win situation for you"

"Asuka...." Misato's eyes narrowed, "just get him back"

Asuka waved a goodbye and headed for the lab.


*******************************


"I'm all set Ritsuko...."

"Good.. let see... power... LCL... propane gas... all green we
can proceed"

*Shinji wait just a few more seconds i can come get you now, after
all that Misato cooking I ate, you better cook something nice for
me when I get there* Asuka smiled *Real food, here I come*

"Power at 25%...30%..."

"This is gonna take awhile" Asuka groaned as she wait for the power
to go up to 100%

"85%...90%...95%... what the hell"

A small explosion filled the contained room Asuka was in.

"Shit..." Ritsuko swore as the explosion caught her off guard, "what
the hell happened"

When the smoke cleared.... Asuka wasn't there.. all that was left was...
a portal which disappeared in a few seconds

"Damn... that must be the portal that sucked Asuka AND Shinji away..
let's hope she's went to the right time"


*******************************


Kensu was searching the MAGI system for more information on Shinji
and events of the past so he can get Shinji back to were he was.

"Kensu... working in lunch.. things really change in just a month"

Kensu turned to see woman with black hair flowing right down to her
hips.

"C-Co-Commander Itsuko.. your back!!"

"Give me a full report on what happened"

*Ok.. where do I start.. well.. that demon Unit 01 is actually
controllable... a person 100 ago came forwards in time and is the
PILOT of Unit 01... he killed two angels for us... and I'm trying
to get him back to his own time.. not much* Kensu groan as starts
to think of a good way to answer the Commander's question.

"Well.. seeing that it is lunch.. I'll give you til.. umm.. let
say 1400 hours to think. I expect a full report on the events then
but for now, would you mind me joining you at lunch"

*Might as well tell her before 1400 or else she'll be in I-AM-GOD
mode and start digging into me like i'm a bowl of cereal*
"Sure" Kensu grinned nervously as he left the room, forgetting to
turn off the screen...


*******************************


*Ok.. maybe he just not ready yet... I mean I've only known him for
like.. umm two.. three weeks.. how am I suppose to expect him to
accept me now right??* Kasumi tried in vain to comfort herself.

*Maybe I should go back to HQ and work extra.. at least I'll get
extra pay...*

Kasumi stood up and walked from the park.

*Why Jirou....*


*******************************


"THAT much happened huh??" the Commander, who is already striking fear
in some lower rank people around the cafeteria, widen her eyes.

"Yup..."

"Wow.. Unit 01... active... person from the pass with superb skills as
a pilot.. and he has a fake name too!! So who is this kid's REAL name"

*Damn.. thought I can avoid that*
"Umm... Ikari Ma'am... Shinji Ikari"

Commander Itsuko froze.. "Ikari.. as in... Gendo.. Ikari.."

"Yes..."

"THE KID IS THE SON OF GENDO!!!!"

"SSSHHHH... not here.. you'll freak the guys out" Kensu whispered, "YES
he is the son of Gendo... but he's nothing like him... he.. he saved
the world twice already in this time period."

".... continue"

"Ok so I gave him a new name so people won't find him in the MAGI system..
and I'm trying to find out more about him"

"Good thinking, can I meet this.. Shinji..."

"Yeah.. sure.. I'll Kasumi if she knows where he is"

"Kasumi??.. you mean that child genious that works as a part time medic
and part time tactical team AND part time what again?"

Kensu grinned, "That's her"

"What's does Kasumi have to do with Shinji??"

"Well...umm..." Kensu sweat like crazy, "They're.. umm... dating Ma'am"

"Hmm.... this is interesting... send Kasumi to see me too please"

Kensu looked at his commander's expression but couldn't read it or
even know what's in her mind.
*wonder what's she's thinking*
But he just ignored this and walked out to find Shinji and Kasumi.


*******************************


*Hey.. somebody forgot to turn off the MAGI terminal*
Kasumi started towards the room, *No.. I can't.. what if the clearance
on the info of it is way higher than mine*
Kasumi glanced nervously at both ends of the hall, *Guess one little
peek won't hurt...* So she quitely slipped in.

*That looks like Jirou..... hey it's his personally file... maybe I ca-*

Her train of thought was interrupted by the sight of the file...

Name: Shinji Ikari
P.O.B: Classified
D.O.B: Classified
Rank: Lieutenant

She didn't even bother to look further as the sight of Jirou's real name
covered all her thoughts

"Whoops I forgot to turn the.. Kasumi.. your here"

Turning around, she saw Kensu standing at the doorway

"I guess you know who Shinji is huh"

"Yes... an Ikari... why does he have to be the decendent of the Devil
himself"

"He isn't a devil though... he IS dating you, right.. and he DID
save the world more than once"

"Heh, dating me... he just said that he can't be with me... now
I know why.. "

"Come on Kasumi.. we have to find Shinji.. the Commander's back
and she wanna meet him.. so where is he"

"He wandered off after he said that.... I have no idea where he is now"
Kasumi stared into space *Shinji.. Jirou.. whoever you are... are you
like your father.. please tell me*

"Well guess we have to get the NERV security on this now... heh.. he
might be just finding something for you as a forgive me gift" Kensu
teased Kasumi

"I doubt it.." Kasumi continue to look gloomy, "I'll go meet the
commander first.. I'll wait for you two there"

"Are you sure.."

"Yes.."

"Ok.. suit yourself"
*Shinji you idiot... Kasumi is gonna kill you after she gets over you*

Kensu shuttered as the thought of Kasumi ripping through Shinji came
to mind.
*Man.. why can't Kasumi be a normal girl like the others in Tokyo 3*


*******************************


*Kasumi...Asuka...Kasumi...Asuka.. ARRRGGHHH.. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG
WITH ME*
Shinji screamed making birds fly away from the area, "Why can't my
mind be like this lake.. undisturbed.. and pure..."

He stared up into the sky and gazed at the stars above him. "I wish
I can fly away from all of this... but I can't... this world is at
stake"
*Yeah.. so is my sanity*

Letting out a shout of pure frustration, Shinji stood back up and
shouted towards the empty outskirt of Tokyo 3 "THE HELL WITH THIS
WORLD, WHY CAN'T I JUST HAVE A NORMAL LIFE... WHY DAMNIT WHY"

He felt tears flowing down his face, not tears of anger, nor are they
tears of sorrow, but tears of pure hatred of this world.

*All this time... all this time I've been fighting.. but for what, a
slap in the face... petty insults... sorrow... and sadness to all of
the people around me... don't I even deserve a pat on the back and
a good job Shinji...*

"Damn... this is not the way to get away from the city... this is
worst" He continued to cry tears of anguish and hatred towards the
world but not noticing it, "I don't get it... why am I always stuck
doing these stuff... Shinji pilot Unit 01, Shinji kill that angel...
after all this, I think I can finally say that my life really sucks"


"Really you baka... I never thought you'll actually say those words"

Shinji look around him, "Oh god.. I'm hearing voices again" Shinji
said to himself as he sat back down"

"Voices.... nice try Shinji... guess again"

This time, Shinji is really freaked out. He carefully glanced around
him and saw a girl behind him wearing jeans and a tank-top

"K-Kasumi... no.." Shinji looked harder at the girls features

"Who the heck is Kasumi... are you having you perverted dreams again
Shinji"

"A-ASUKA!!" Shinji's heart skipped a beat, "Asuka... when did you get
here??"

"Just now.. well I changed into this first before I came and saw you
talking to yourself here" Asuka laughed, "Shinji next time try not
to talk to yourself, it's bad for your mental health"

"Sorry"

Asuka sighed, "Some things just never change no matter what period
of time your in"

The Third Child looked at her with a confused look, "How did you
get here... ok this must be a dream.."

"Do I have to HURT you just to prove that i'm not a dream" Asuka
rolled her eyes, "So tell me third child... what year is it"

"Huh??"

"Umm.. you traveled in time right...."

"Oh.. that.. umm"

"You Baka... can't even remember what he did to get here.."

"Sorry.."

"So..."

"What??"

"THE YEAR.. WHAT YEAR IS IT"

"Oh.. umm it's 2115.. we've traveled 100 years foward in time"

"Wow..." She glanced around her, "where are we??"

"Oh... we're just outside Tokyo 3"

"I see... so when are we going back??"

"I'm staying here for the night.. you can go back if you want"

"YOU BAKA... I don't have a place to live in here.. need I remind
you that I'm not for AROUND HERE!!" Asuka flared up.

*Why can't she be like Kasumi....*
"Fine.. I'll take you to my apartment..."

"Much better" Asuka nodded in approval as Shinji stood back up,
"and you own me a month worth of meals too"

"Wha??" Shinji has no idea what Asuka is talking about anymore.

"YOU LEFT ME TO EAT MISATO'S COOKING FOR A WHOLE MONTH AND YOU ARE
SAYING THAT YOU DON'T OWN ME ANYTHING"

Shinji started to back away from Asuka, "Ok Ok.. I'll cook"

Asuka hides a smile she made as Shinji turned and start leading
her back into town.
*Shinji, I missed you*


*******************************


"It's not much but it'll have to do for now" Shinji said as he
brought his 'creation' to the dinner table, "Have a taste"

"Oh my god.. now I know the difference between heaven and hell,
at least the food from heavan and hell" Asuka kept shoveling down
the food like she hasn't ate for years.

*I guess I can't blame her, it is Misato's cooking we're talking
about* Shinji chuckled silently *Well at least I know I can get
back to our time now*

"So.. hows the future?" Asuka asked

"Oh.. umm not much, there are still angel attacks..."

"Well looks like our trip home will be easier than I thought"

"What do you mean?" Shinji frowned

"Well Ritsuko says that inorder for us to travel back in time, we
need to add this protein in HUMAN blood and some propane gas,
then we need the energy from an angel explosion to make a rift
and we jump in and go home"

"Huh??"

"Oh why the hell am I trying to explain it to you..."

Shinji sighed and goes to the kitchen to get a drink,
"So Asuka, why did they sent you... why not Rei?" He quickly realize
the deadly mistake he just made. *I'm dead*

"I.. ask them to sent me.. that's all..." Shinji stared at Asuka as
she spoke, "I have a question for you Shinji"

*Huh... no 'Baka Shinji'.. something's wrong*
"umm... yes..."

"Did you miss me"

The Third Child's eyes widen at the question, "I..err... guess I..
well I don't.. no I do but.."

"Just tell me will ya"

"I.....did I guess....."

Fully expecting a slap or a non-stop onslaught of insults Shinji closed
his eyes shut, but all he hear was a soft sigh.

"Me to baka.. me too"

He open one eye to see what was going on but Asuka was no where in
his line of vision. *Am I still dreaming*

"Hey, I'm taking a shower.. don't you even THINK of coming in here"

*Guess it was my imagination... why would Asuka miss me.. right*

The sound of the shower spread through the apartment as Shinji walked
out to the balcony.
"What am I going to do.... I want to stay but I can't...." Shinji whispered
to himself, "Kasumi or Asuka....."

He stay put for what seemed like hours trying to figure out an answer to
his question but was interrupted by Asuka.
"Are you going to take a shower?"

"Yeah, I think I will"

"Hey, I'm getting your room though, YOUR sleeping on the couch"

"Sure"

"Good night Shinji"

*When did Asuka start to say good night to me*
"You too"


*******************************


Shinji woke up earlier than usual and made breakfast and prepared lunch
for school. *Damnit.. I absolutly hate school.. why can't they give me
a break.. I from the past here*

"Will ya keep it down out there, SOMEBODY is trying to sleep" Asuka shoated
with a VERY grumpy tone to it

"*gulp* sorry.."

"AArrrgghh.. I can't sleep like this," the red head walked out from Shinji's
room, "Huh.. why are you wearing a school uniform?"

"I have school... what did you think NERV would do, they'll even sent you
to school when you came here"

"Hmm.. you've got a point there," Asuka said thoughtfully, "Well looks like
you not that big of a Baka"

"Well I think you should go to NERV today, at least tell them of our
situation."

"My thoughts excatly"

"Well, if I don't get going, I'll be late"

"Wait.. how do I get in??"

"They haven't change the passwords, you figure out the rest"

"Hmm.. this is going to be a long day" Asuka looked at the extra plate
of food Shinji made, "Well it least I'll be getting a good breakfast"


*******************************


"Hey Jirou" Chron shoated

"Oh hey Chron" Shinji said half-heartedly

"What's the matter, you seem... well not you"

"Lots happened, and I have a lot of things in my mind.. that's all"

"Anything to do with Kasumi"

"...."

"I knew it, if you want my advice, stay AWAY from her"

"...."

"Are you even listening to me"

"yeah"

"Man, you better look more lively or else Kasumi will start ripping
you apart"

"whatever"

*Whoa, Jirou is really not himself today..*
"Well I think we better get to class"

"ok"

*ok he's freaking me out now*


*******************************


"So is it true Kasumi.. you and that Jirou guy broke up"

"huh??" Kasumi looked at her classmate

"Come on.. you can tell us"

"Yeah.. we did"

"Too bad... he is kinda cute you know"

She saw Shinji walking into the classroom and sat down beside her.
"So Jirou... or should I say Shinji Ikari"

Shinji looked at Kasumi and said softly, "That's my name.... Kasumi..
I need to talk to you"

"I don't want to talk to you." Kasumi whisper back

"Please.. just as a friend you just met, like when you first met Shinto"

Kasumi wanted to cry, but she holds back her tears, as she heard the
first name Shinji got, "Fine.. right now" Kasumi said out loud, just loud
enough for everyone in the room to hear.

Now that they are the centre of attention, Shinji starts to back down.
*No.. not now... if I have to say it.. I'll say it to everyone*
"Kasumi... the reason I broke up with you is.... is...."
*Damn.. I can't say it... WHY.. DAMNIT*

"Why Shinji why..." Kasumi said with tears in her eyes, she didn't
even notice that she was using his real name in front of everyone

"is.. because... if I stay with you...."

"What if you stay with me..."

"I'll.. break your heart eventually... and I don't want to see the day
where I need to leave you not by my chose.. but by fate... we can't
stay together.. I don't belong here"

Kasumi looked at Shinji with tears already rolling down her face,
"Then do me a favor... stay with me... stay with me til you have to go"

"I.. can't"

"Please" Kasumi begged him

"I..."
*No... I can't run from her.. not her, shes one of the only people that
has been this good to me... not even Misato cared for me this much*
"I... ok... I will"

Kasumi's face instantly lit up as she heard Shinji's words,
"Thank you Shinji.. thank you.... no matter what happens.. stay with me
until you have to go.. please"

"I will.. I promise..."

Kasumi hugged Shinji as hard as she could and cried

"Don't cry... I'll stay... just don't cry like that..."

Kasumi wiped away her tears and smiled
"I won't cry as long as your with me"


"Wow.. that was sooo romantic" one of the girls in the classroom said

"Man.. when you've got it, you've got it.. Shinji, Jirou, or Shinto..
whoever you are... " Chron shaked his head and walked over to the
hugging couple, "you guys should stop soon, the teach is coming"

They released each other and blushed as they slowly realize that they
did all that in front of the whole class.

*I'm never gonna hear the end of this... well maybe I am going to but
I'll have to wait til the next angel attack*
Shinji takes one more glance at Kasumi as the teacher walks in,
*She's beautiful...*


*******************************


"Damnit... why do they have to build the DAMNED PYRIMID SO FAR"
Asuka groaned as she finally reached the front entrance.

Opening the door with her card she walked into the building like she
did many other times.
*Shinji's right... still the same security codes...*


*******************************


"Commander... inturder entering the building.. through the front
gate"

"What the hell.. front gate!!"

Kensu walked in and saw what was happening,
"Hmm... I think we have another time traveler"

Every looked at him like he was crazy or something

"Hey.. just joking... GOD..." Kensu did his cover as quickly as
possible, "Commander, permission to greet this 'intruder' personally"

"Permission granted... I'll accompany you"

"Thank you Ma'am"

They walked in the hall that the intruder is in and quickly met her.

"S'cuse me, might I ask what you are doing here" Kensu said in a very
professional way.

"Well.. let see. how am I suppose to say this..." the girl pondered
a bit, "Well... you know Shinji right.. well I'm from the same time
he is and I'm here to get him back to our time"

"Shinji, you mean the pilot of the devil machine" Commander Itsuko
asked Kensu.

"Yes, that's him, and who might you be.."

"Hi, I'm Asuka Langley Soryu"

"Asuka.. hmm.." Kensu looked at her. *So she's the person Shinji was
always talking about in his sleep*

"It is a pleasure to meet you Asuka, I'm the commander of the base
right now, Commander Itsuko, and this is Kensu, he doesn't like
people calling him by his last name"

"Hi"

"Umm then I guess I'll just need to tell you what me and Shinji needs
to get back.."

"Hmm yes please do.. we'll do anything in our power to help" Kensu said
*So that's why Shinji broke up with Kasumi.... he knows he'll be going
back to his time soon*

"Bur right now... I'm really tired.. so can we wait til Shinji's outta
school before I explain all this, I think he'll wanna know the plan too"

"Agreed" Kensu and the Commander both said in unison.

"Would you like to see the EVAs?"

*Do I.. I guess.. to check up on Unit 02 it is not used in 100 years*
"Yes, I would.. is Unit 02 still around"

"Yup... still fully functional"

"Well looks like I'll be getting some action in this time period"
Asuka grinned and punched her palm.
