Well I think this would be one of
the last three or four chapter so
I guess I'll be wrapping all the
mystery up and stuff, but with my
luck, I'll be writing another six
chapters or something (well that's
not bad, but.. you know.. just
annoying when you plan something
and then it just it gets twisted
so much you don't know what the plan
is anymore.)
A note to one of the reviewers,
R.J. Shino, I thank you for
understanding where I'm coming at
and if your reading this right now,
well I'm glad to tell you and anyone
who is reading this, that my next
fic will not be a Shinji/Asuka fic
so if any anti-Asuka people are
reading this, I hope you'll be
reading my next fic, love ya
support!! Oh and I'll post my teaser
for my next fic at the very end of
this fic!
A quick recap, Kasumi has annonced
that she would wait for Shinji
to forget Asuka (as if that is
possible heh) and Daniel, Angel/
owner of NERV, has used the time
rifter to lock on to a specific time
to make him the ruler of the world
and he has the help of our favorite
character, REI!! So how would this
turn Good or Bad? Daniel succeding?
Shinji and Asuka never be able to
go back to their time? well read to
find out ^_^

Destiny and TIme
Chapter 17
Shinji woke up at the usual time, very
early in the morning. He glanced around
the room to find his bearings and shook
his head.
*Not so unfamiliar ceiling..*
He walked towards the window and looked
out. *Those people, so care free, so
happy... why can't I be so care free*
"Cuz I need to save the world no matter
where I go" Shinji chuckled sadly as he
answered his own question, "I have all
the luck, don't I?"
"Of course you do!" Shinji jumped and
turned around to find Asuka standing at
the doorway, "You're living with a babe!"
Asuka struck a pose making Shinji laugh.
"Asuka, why aren't you in bed? I thought
you need your beauty sleep."
"How can I sleep, I just found out that
the person I live with have feelings for
me, well I know already, but that coming
out of YOUR ex-girlfriend. It's kinda
unerving you know."
"I guess," Shinji smiled, "I never expected
her to say something like that."
"Me neither," Asuka grinned, "Well my
knight in purple armor, why don't you
cook breakfast so we can eat."
"Of course Damsel in distress." Shinji
ducked out of the way when Asuka threw
a punch at him.
"Damsel in distress this!" Asuka picked up
Shinji's pillow and threw it at him.
"Well this knight can cook if you keep
on injuring him." Shinji laughed and
caught his own pillow.
"Shinji, can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"When did you grew a spine?"
"WHAT?" Shinji frowned.
"Well... before we came here, your always
I dunno..."
"Oh, well I guess it was something about
the time we're in, I mean, I feel like
anything I do here isn't actually happening
but in fact, I know it is. It's all weird,
I don't like to think about it."
"I think I know what you mean..." Asuka
followed Shinji to the kitchen.
"Hey Asuka, when we get back... you wouldn't.."
"What? tell everyone you tried to moleste
me in the future and try to make you seem
like a moron?"
"No.. well, would you stay this way.. I mean
actually kinda nice to me.."
*and charming and beautiful and sexy and
beautiful, and did I mention beautiful?*
"I guess, I mean as long as YOU stay this
way I guess." Asuka shrugged, "this way
as in not a perverted wimp."
"Ok, we have a deal." Shinji put his hand
out.
"Yup, we have a deal." Asuka put her hand
out as well but...
Shinji was about to shake her hand but
found that Asuka quickly pulled her hand
away, "Huh?"
"I have a better idea." Asuka smiled.
Shinji felt himself being pulled towards
Asuka and felt her lips against his.
*I'm still dreaming right?*
Shinji kissed back quickly and eagerly
but like all kisses, it has to end sooner
or later, and to his regret, this time
it ended sooner.
It's not a dream baka....
Shinji jumped as Asuka's voice echoed in
his mind.
Asuka pinched him lightly on the back of
his hand, "Still think your dreaming?"
Asuka said with a lopsided smile.
"How.. how did you..." Shinji stammered.
"I just realized that few days ago, I guess
we can really talk to each other with our
minds."
"Cool! But just wait til we get back, we're
never gonna hear the end of that." Shinji
chuckled as he pictured the reaction of
his friends and family back in 2015.
"Well, we just have to make this OUR little
secret don't we." Asuka gave Shinji a
shove. (oh and by the way from now on everyting
in this...#.... would be telepathic
conversation between the two pilots and
NO, they would not say dirty stuff in
their thoughts =p)
#go cook breakfast already.#
Shinji jumped, "Asuka stop that... it's
annoying, switching from this to that.."
Asuka laugh out loud, "Well not my
fault I can do that and you can't."
#Wanna bet#
Shinji hold back his urge to roll on the
floor and laugh when he saw Asuka stiffen.
"SHINJI!!"
"I'll cook, I'll cook..." Shinji whimpered
and walked towards the kitchen.
"No matter what time we're in, your
still partially a wimp." Asuka teased.
*******************************
Chron sat at his desk in school hoping
for an angel attack for once just to
escape from what is about to happen.
"Now would you please take your science
text book and turn to page 145 to the
section, Reproduction."
Most people would not mind this section
of science, heck, some people love it,
(Not me though, I can accept it, but
I can't love it.. thats a fact!!)
but this teacher make it seem like...
seem like...
"Now I would like you to choose a partner
of the opposite gender..."
Chron tuned the teacher out and glanced
around the room, and winced.
*Damn, all the good looking girls are
picked.*
Chron looked around and is quickly forced
to make the worst decision in his world.
*That fat girl or Kasumi....* and of course
like he quickly told himself to go to Kasumi
and hope he is not he one to be paired with
another guy or.... the TEACHER...
"Kasumi!" Chron shouted from across the
room.
Kasumi walked towards Chron, "Yeah why don't
you use me as a last resort."
"Well you are stunningly attractive and a-"
"Cut the sweet talk so we can get this
over with." Kasumi glared at him coldly,
not unlike the Gendo glare (ok that was
bad, but it's funny, to a certain degree
=p)
"Ok fine."
KNOCK KNOCK.
A loud knock sounded and the teacher frowned.
"Well seems like we have a special guest today."
The teacher smiled a little, "Mr. Katsuragi, so
nice to see you again..."
Chron pinched himself as if to wake himself up.
*SHINJI IS HERE!!!*
Sure enough, Shinji walked into the room.
"Hello Sensei, I just came by to visit everyone
since I'm on a break from my school and I was
around."
"Great, we're doing the unit on Reproduction
so would you pair up with one of the students."
"Oh Sensei, would you mind i-"
"Hey Sh.. err, Jirou, what are you doing?"
*Who's with him?* Chron walked towards the
door of the classroom.
"ASUKA!!"
"Oh hi, thought we'd stop by and see whatcha
doing and all that." Asuka said casually.
"Like I was saying, you don't mind if we
just watch?" Shinji say annoyed.
"Oh that's ok, your a guest."
"Lucky bastard." Chron whispered to Shinji
"I try." Shinji grinned.
"So if you would be kind enough to sit down,
I'd like this activity to start."
Chron walked back to his partner, "Well Kasumi,
let's get this over with."
*******15 minutes later*******
Asuka was clutching her stomach to ease her
pain from preventing herself from laughing.
#Did I just see what I just saw# Asuka recived
Shinji's message.
#Oh yeah.. and IT WAS DAMN FUNNY HAHHAHAHAH#
Asuka felt a little better laughing mentally.
"Ok, and that's that class." The teacher announced.
"THAT WAS A NIGHTMARE!" Chron screamed.
"HEY, YOU BETTER NOT SAY THAT, YOU ARE PARTNERS
WITH MY EX-GIRLFRIEND." Shinji shouted towards
Chron.
"Thanks Shinji" Kasumi sweetly.
"WHAT ex-girlfrined!" the whole class exclaimed.
Asuka, Kasumi, and Shinji sweatdropped as the whole
class fall out of their chairs or just fall down on
the ground.
"What?" Asuka looked around confused.
"I thought you'll guys would still be a couple
after what Jirou here," the girl who is speaking
pointed to Shinji, "said in class, and pretty
loud too I might add."
"What did JIROU said." Asuka glared at Shinji.
"Umm I don't think you should be-" Shinji
was cut off by the girl.
"I think he said something about staying
with Kasumi until err.. fate pulled them apart
or something?"
"JIROU and I need to talk." Asuka said with
venom in her voice.
"Thanks alot MICHU." Shinji said as Asuka dragged
him out of the room.
"IT IS MICHIRU!!!" Michiru screamed.
"Well at least it wasn't me who said it Michu."
Sakaru grinned.
*******************************
"Shinji.." Asuka said with deadly sweetness, "mind
telling me what THAT was all about."
"Umm.. err..." Shinji starts to mentally shiver,
"I.. err... well.. it's.."
"Just spit it out." Asuka converted to her cold voice.
"At that time, I was going out with her and.. well..
I kinda *mumble*.."
"Your lucky I can't ready your thoughts.." Asuka glared
at Shinji.
*Yeah... VERY lucky...* Shinji winced when he saw
Asuka snarled.
"Too bad I can hear what your thinking.. not to clearly
though..."
"I... err... sorry...."
"Quit apologizing.. GOD..." Asuka shakes her head, "Don't
you EVER find anything else to say?"
"sorry."
"THERE YOU GO AGAIN," Asuka said annoyingly, "aarrgghh,
you still a wimp no matter what you do."
"...."
#I'll let you go this time, but you better make it up
to me# Shinji looked up and saw Asuka glaring at him.
"Of course." Shinji sighed in relief.
"AARRGGHHH, your hopeless." Asuka waved her arms in the
air and walked off.
"Well well well... lookie here." Shinji turned to see
Sakaru standing behind him, "Acting like a married
couple already I see."
Shinji blushed, "Well.. err.. heh."
Sakaru rolled her eyes, "You weren't THAT easy to tease
a few days ago."
Shinji recovered from his blush, "Looks like things are
slowly going back to normal for me."
"What do you mean?"
"Long story... you'll hear it when the time comes."
"Okie, just remember to tell me!" Sakaru hopped
back into class.
*I bet their sensei is pretty pissed off at me
right now..*
*******************************
Shinji followed the two new pilots to NERV after
school, since he can't find Asuka anywhere and
he doesn't have anything to do.
"...and then this guy says 'man your kidding
right', then the other guy says, 'no way man'
and so the first guy-"
"SAKARU, STOP!!" Chron screamed.
"What??" Sakaru said in a whiny voice.
"Your babbling.."
"Oh sorry."
Shinji couldn't help but chuckle at the two's
antics.
"What so funny?" Chron asked Shinji
"Nothing, just an old joke" Shinji lied, and
for once he did it pretty well too.
"Care to share?" Sakaru joined the two.
"Nope..." Shinji shook his head for enthasis.
Silence over took the three, for a while. Then
as usual, the 'Chron sarcasium' appeared again.
"Yippy... Sync tests... oh, how I love thee.."
"And how I love seeing you try so hard to beat
my record." Chron turned around to see who
said that.
"Oh, your out of practise ASUKA.. I bet I can
beat your Sync Rate just like THAT." Chron
boasted.
"I wouldn't count on that..." Shinji warned.
"Oh yeah.. I'll prove it... I'll join you
guys in the sync test, jjjuuuusst this once
so I can show you why I'm DA BEST!!" Asuka
smirked.
"And I'll come to just to make you feel
worst." Shinji added then bursts out
laughing.
"When did YOU start doing what I do?" Asuka
inquired.
"When in Rome, do as the Romans do." Shinji
shurgged.
"Oh, that is SSSOOO deep" Sakaru said sarcastically
"Well, like they say, there's always someone
better than the best, and right now, I'm gonna
prove it." Chron puffed out his chest and walked
into the change room.
"Well there goes his pride." Sakaru giggled when
she heard Asuka's remark.
"I'll tell Kensu and those guys that we're joining
them in the Sync Test ok?" Shinji started to walk
towards the command post.
"Sure, just don't chicken out." Asuka grinned.
"Don't worry... I won't..."
*******************************
Asuka sat in the simulator plug as it is filled up
by LCL.
"So Asuka.. why the change of heart?" Asuka rolled
her eyes when she heard the commander of First Branch
attempting to tease her.
"I have to prove something to the baka over there,
and I'm not talking about Shinji." Asuka said
while trying to get use to the LCL again.
"So why is Shinji here?"
"I'm just here to give Chron morale support when
Asuka beats him." Shinji said sympathtically.
"HEY, I CAN BEAT HER." Chron defiantly said.
"When cows fly Chron... when cows fly." Asuka
laughed.
"Guys, we're starting now." Kensu said over the
comm.
*Concentrate.... concentrate....* Asuka thought
to herself as she readied herself for the sync.
#Stop thinking so loud# Asuka flinched and shot
Shinji a glare.
#Why don't you butt out#
#Well I would ASUKA if you don't think so loud!#
"Umm Asuka, I hate to break it to you, but I
think this time Chron is REALLY gonna beat you."
Kensu said bewildered
Asuka stared holes into Shinji through the video.
#Look what you've done#
#OK.. I'll stop if you stop.. deal!#
#Deal#
With that, Asuka started to concentrate again.
"Ok Asuka, I take that back." Kensu said again.
"Oh damnit.. almost thought I had her." Chron
doubled his efforts.
"Chron good luck, your not even close to Shinji."
Kasumi said with a giggle.
"WHAT!! I was just about .6% away from Shinji
last time!" Chron exclaimed.
"Well I can't believe this but... Shinji
and Asuka has the same Sync Ratio..." Kensu
announced.
"Which is..." Chron asked.
"84.6%.. wow last time Shinji was only at 75
or something." Kensu was impressed.
"Well I caught up to you Asuka, what do
you have to say for yourself?" Shinji finally
used his vocal cord for the first time during
the Sync test.
"Your just lucky."
"This is why I hate sync tests." Sakaru sighed.
"Don't feel so down Sakaru, your sync rate
improved 3% this time!" Kasumi said encoragingly.
"So I'm at what...56%?" Sakaru sighed again.
"Come on Sakaru, you have to also see how long
we've been piloting too." Shinji said trying
to cheer Sakaru up.
"Thanks Shinji..." Sakaru smiled weakly.
"Weeeellll... I think this is enough for today."
Kensu said seeing two REALLY depressed pilots.
"I'm outta here!" Asuka shouted as she jumped
out of the simulation plug. The other pilots
followed suit (Not as enthusiastically though)
soon after.
*******************************
"Have anyone of you seen anything like that?"
Patricia asked the bridge crew.
"N-no... their sync was... perfectly matched
up.." Kensu said with confusion in his voice.
"Like they are the same person." Kasumi
finished Kensu's sentence.
"This is interesting.." one of the officers
saidl, "Maybe this job does have it's up side."
"What! and help saving the world isn't?" Kasumi
laughed.
"Oh come on... watching the battle and preparing
to die isn't my favorite thing to do ya know!"
The commander rolled her eyes, "Come on, someone
go ask our two favorite heroes to see what that
was about."
"I'll go." Kasumi said and walked out.
"Same here." Kensu quickly followed.
"Anyone else?" Commander Itsuko scanned around the
room, "Are they REALLY that freaky to you?"
"Well you see... err.." one of the male officer
said, "we kinda..."
All of the officers (male AND female) starts to
blush.
"Oh brother.." The commander shook her head in
disgust, "THEY ARE AT LEAST 10 YEARS YOUNGER
THAN YOU ALL!!"
The whole bridge crew frowned and looked at one
another, "Huh? What were you thinking commander?"
"Ok... my bad."
*******************************
Kensu and Kasumi waited infront of the door of the
change room.
"So... how in the world are we suppose to asked them?"
Kasumi asked Kensu.
"Your the genius here, you think of something!" Kensu
shrugged.
"Your older!"
"Well, I have the wisdom of a 10 year old so there!"
Kensu stopped for a moment, "I just insulted myself
didn't I?"
Kasumi stared at him, "Ok nevermind, I'll ask."
Then Chron walked out of the change room, "Hey guys,
here to laugh in my face already?"
"Nope, but if you want us to..." Kensu grinned.
"That's ok.. I think I could live with that."
"So where's Shinji and Asuka?" Kasumi asked.
"Shinji's still taking a shower, I don't know WHY he
would take a shower for so long." Chron frowned, "and
why would you ask me about Asuka?"
"Ok.. well... Kensu, why don't you go in and see when
Shinji would be ready." Kasumi suggested.
"No way, I don't wanna know what LCL smells like."
"Oh well." Kasumi sighed and leaned on the wall opposite
of the doors.
Few minutes past, Sakaru walked out of the change room.
"Hey guys, so nice of you to wait for me, I feel so
special now." Sakaru giggled.
"Sorry Sakaru, we're not waiting for ya." Kensu said.
"AAwwww.. and I thought you would." Sakaru pouted.
"Look what you did, are you stupid or something, your
hurting her feelings." Chron said, mildly annoyed.
"Any if you have noticed, she was just kidding."
Kasumi pointed to Sakaru who is grinning at the
moment.
"Oh..." Chron seem to shrink.
"Well well well.. what do we have here, Chron, why
don't you tell us why you did that." Kensu grinned.
"Ya see.. I... I.. havta g-g-g-g..." Chron's eyes
widen.
"What Chron?" Sakaru said while leaning towards
Chron, "you havta what?"
"AAhhh.. young love... how I wish to be young again."
Kensu said dramatically
"What!.. What the hell are you talking about!" Chron
said while backing away from Sakaru, "I don't even
like her!"
Sakaru turned around and sniffed, "You don't like me.."
"I err.. no no no.. I mean.. oh crap.."
Kasumi laughed, "Man, I never thought your THAT stupid
Chron."
"Huh?" Chron looked around him and saw Kensu rolling
on the ground and laughing, and Sakaru giggle non-stop.
"What so funny guys?" Shinji and Asuka walked out and
said simultaneously.
"Oh, hiya, we're just laughing at Chron." Sakaru thought
for a moment, "As usual."
"Shinji, Asuka, we have something to ask you." Kasumi
started, "Privatly if you don't mind."
"Sure, I guess." Asuka shrugged.
"Can we come too?" Sakaru asked eagerly.
"Why don't you go with your boyfriend here." Kensu said
to annoy Chron some more.
"Boyfriend?" Shinji frowned.
"He means Chron." Kasumi giggled.
"Wow, you two hooked up already? when? where? how?"
Asuka asked.
"It was just a joke you guys, anyways, why would I
even wanna date HER!" Chron said defensivly.
"But.. but you said." Sakaru turned on her 'helpless
girl act', which involves her sniffing and sobbing.
"Oh god.. not again.. Sakaru... oh come on.. I
don't mean that.. I mean.. I do.. I mean.. oh crap,
not again." Chron shook his head, "I'll never hear
the end of this."
"Oh come on Chron, we all know you like Sakaru the
first time you saw her." Kensu stated.
"WHAT!! HOW DID YOU KNO.... I AM stupid, aren't I?"
"Yup." Shinji nodded his head, "Well look at the
bright side, at least you'll have a new girlfriend."
Sakaru backed off, "Hey hey hey, let's not jump to
conclusions now. Who said I wanted to date HIM!"
With that said, Sakaru walked off.
"Well looks like you won't have a new girlfriend."
Shinji observed.
"Hey at least you'll be living you single life to
you fullest." Kensu noted.
"Plus you need the extra time to do your homework."
Kasumi added.
"So you better go home now." Asuka finished.
All four of them waved goodbye to Chron.
"Fine, I know I'm not wanted here, I'll go." Chron
walked off.
"Well that takes care to THOSE two." Kensu switch
to his 'serious mode', "Let's get down to business."
*******************************
Kensu and Kasumi led the two pilots to the meeting
area.
"Ok I just wanna ask you a few questions and we're
outta here ok." Kensu said.
"Sure." Shinji shrugged.
"Do you know what happened during the sync test?"
Kensu asked.
"We synced with our Evas..." Asuka rolled her eyes.
"That's not all, well you see..." Kensu paused to
find the right words.
"You two synced with your Evas together... at the
exact same rate, and we would just like to know
HOW you did that." Kasumi said for Kensu.
Kasumi watched the two pilots for their reaction,
but sooner after, she was totally confused at their
expression.
*What the heck are they doing.. why the hell are they
making faces at a time like this??*
"Umm.. guys... are you ok."
"YES!" Shinji and Asuka both shouted.
*Ok.. they've lost it...*
"Umm, Kensu.. I think they need to see a
psychiatrist." Kasumi whispered to Kensu.
Kasumi returned her attention to the two pilots who
is still making glaring and scrawling at each other.
"Guys... are you ok..." Kasumi said with concern.
Asuka visably sighed and glared at Shinji one last
time, "Yeah yeah, we'll tell you."
"Asuka and I are... err.."
"Well tell them you BAKA, you're the one who said
so!"
"WELL, if SOMEONE didn't interrupt me when I was
about to tell them, MAYBE I would have told them
straight off the bat."
"SO YOUR SAYING THIS IS MY FAULT!!"
"Oh yes I AM."
Kasumi and Kensu both stared at the argument and
blinked.
"Umm... guys.." Kensu said nervously.
"Fine I'll tell them." Shinji said with anger
"ARRRGGGHH, FINE YOU BAKA!" Asuka turned around.
"So..." Kasumi started to back away.
"We're telepathic okay. There I did it, HAPPY!"
The Third Child turned the other way.
"Yeah good THIRD CHILD!" Asuka shouted.
"Ok.. that explains the glares." Kasumi said trying
to sound normal, in which she is failing miserably.
"But how does it explain your sync ratios?" Kensu
asked.
Shinji and Asuka both turned to face Kasumi and
Kensu again, and after a moment, "We dunno."
"YOUR a big help." Kensu sighed, "Well let's get
out of here, you guys look like you need to kill
something."
"Remember what I said Asuka." Kasumi said with a
wink towards Shinji and then left.
*They're telepathic... maybe I REALLY didn't have
a chance at the beginning...* Kasumi thought
sadly, *Don't be such a downer Kasumi, you know
you still have a chance. Well, if I don't, that
guy that works at the radar looks pretty good too.*
Kasumi rolled her eyes, *Yeah right... I hope Asuka
screws up.*
*******************************
"Sir, when are we proceeding with your plan?"
"Midnight, tonight." Daniel replied.
"Then maybe I'll see her again."
"Yes, you'll see her" Daniel smirked, *In hell...*
"Send in Pilot Ayanami."
"Yes sir."
Few minutes later, after the silent message sent
to the blue haired pilot, Rei walked in.
"Rei, I want you to prepare yourself for tonight,
remember what I taught you." Daniel said without
expression.
"Understood."
"We will begin at midnight, when all the pilots are
tired."
"Understood."
"You are to rest for the rest of the day until that
time. Dismissed." Daniel signaled her to leave.
Rei bowed and then left the room.
*Yes... if I'm correct, the Pilot Ikari will not
attack. That leaves the other three which is not threat
to me*
Daniel smirked. "Everyone, take a rest, you'll need it
for tonight."
*Don't say I was cruel, at least I let them sleep before
they all die.*
*******************************
"I'm having a bad feeling." Shinji said while lounging
on the sofa, "Something big is gonna happen."
"Oh, now you see the future huh?" Asuka said sarcastically.
"No I'm serious," Shinji frowned, "I'm HAVING a bad feeling."
"Must be the beans." Asuka laughed at her own joke.
"Very funny Asuka." Shinji starts to stare into space.
#Your know Shinji, that staring off into space thing you
do is kinda annoying#
Shinji jumped, #Yeah and talking to me like this suddenly
is also annoying#.
"I'm going to sleep Asuka."
"WHAT! It's only 6!! are you sick or something?" Asuka
said, showing only hints of concern.
"No, I don't think so, but I just feel tired." Shinji
walked towards his room, "Wake me up when you want
dinner ok?"
*This feeling isn't gonna leave, is it...*
"Hey Shinji, you might as well make dinner first, I don't
like waking people up."
Shinji turned around, "Ok sure."
For a while, Shinji thought about the feeling he is having,
but when he starts cooking, he starts to forget the
feeling, and after he finished, fatigue too over and Shinji
was too tired to even think about the 'bad feeling'.
"Asuka, dinner is ready, when you want to eat it and it's
too cold, just put in in the microwave or something."
Shinji muttered.
"You sure your ok," Asuka said with an unusual show of
concern, "you really look bad."
"yeah, i'm fine." Shinji said in a half sleep state and
no sooner, flop down on his bed and fell asleep.
*******************************
Shinji....
*go away*
I can't....
*Why can't you*
Because... I have to tell you something...
Shinji opened his eyes and found himself in a black void.
"Where am I?"
A black void...
"What do you have to tell me?"
Your boundary is falling apart...
"What boundaries?"
You must rebuild your boundary, having her to support it
will not help...
"Whose her? Kasumi? Sakaru? Asuka?"
Rebuild...
"How!"
Good luck...
"WAIT!!"
Goodbye...
"WWWAAAAAIIIIIIITT!!!"
*******************************
Shinji woke up in cold sweat.
*What happened....*
The Third Child turned his head and picked up the clock
beside his bed.
*11:57... it's late.. I better get to sleep*
This thoughts is rudely inturrupted by his stomach, who
rumbled in hunger.
"Might as well eat first." Shinji whispered to himself
and pushed himself off his bed and headed for the kitchen.
I took about a minute for him to find some left over
from dinner that Asuka hasn't finished and starts to eat.
*11:59... almost midnight...* He quickly finished, since
there wasn't much left, but it was enough to satisfy his
hunger, for now.
*******Meanwhile*******
NERV First Branch
Commander Itsuko, please report to the bridge immediatly.
The commander snapped awake and rushed to the bridge as
quickly as possible, "What is it? and someone please
hand me a cup of coffee, at least I can stay awake for
this on."
"Ma'am, we have detected an Eva, we're not sure if this
is just a cliche, but it seems real."
"Send for the pilots, we might need them."
"In the middle of the night ma'am?"
"Yes, NOW."
*******************************
RING RING
Shinji winced at the loud sound of the telephone.
"Yes?"
"Pilot Ikari, please get Pilot Soryu to NERV immediatly,
we might need your help."
*NERV..*
"We'll be right there."
"There will be a black limo waiting for you, please
hurry!"
Shinji placed the phone back to it's orginal position,
*This sounds like a big crisis...*
#ASUKA# Shinji laughed a little when he heard a loud
thump coming from Asuka's room.
#SHINJI NO BAKA, WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT!!#
#NERV business, black limo is just downstairs waiting
for us, I'm going ahead ok?#
#I'll be down in a minute#
Shinji quickly thank the gods that he has slept at 6
earlier, even IF he did have that weird dream.
*******************************
"Ma'am, the Eva is headed towards Geofront!" Commander
Itsuko cursed out loud.
"Where are the pilots!"
As if on cue, Chron, Shinji, Asuka, and Sakaru burst in
through the door.
"There you are! Pilots, get in your Evas, we have a
situation!"
"Another angel?" Sakaru asked.
"No, it's an Eva."
The pilots gasped.
"Don't just stand there, get in those Evas!"
The four pilots immediatly dashed out the door.
"Commander, the Eva has been identified, it's the
lost prototype."
*******************************
The four Evas stood inside Geofront awaiting their
enemy, but only Shinji was fully awake.
"Guys, wake up, it's almost here."
"Damnit, and I thought I'd get some sleep tonight
too, after all that homework." Chron complained.
"Well I was having my beauty sleep. Whoever is
piloting that Eva is gonna pay." Sakaru snarled.
"Same here," Asuka agreed, "and I was having such
a nice dream too!"
Shinji sighed, *looks like I'm the only one whose
awake. This is gonna be-*
The screen in front of Shinji flickered, and a new
window came on with Daniel on it.
'Pilot Ikari, do you hear me?'
"Yeah, what do you want Daniel." Shinji said calmly.
'Pilot Ikari, I am here to give you a suggestion,
as you will see soon, the Eva you are about to face
is the Unit 00 which is piloted by non other than..'
"Ayanami... but... shes..."
'I am here to give you a choice, come and help me
or fight me. I gurantee that if you fight me, you
will lose.'
"Life has no gurantees Daniel, no deal." Shinji
spat at him.
'Fine, be that way, looks like I'll be needing
to force you to see it my way.'
The window flickered off and Shinji's attention
went back to Eva 00.
*That bad feeling... it is coming true...*
To be Continued...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hiya, two more chapters to go and this fic is
Finished! I feel so good ^_^
Well next chapter, the four Eva pilots will face
off with Rei, but would Shinji be able to bring
himself to fight Rei? How would Daniel try to
rule the world? And most importantly, WHEN WILL
THIS MADNESS END?
Well just 2 more chapters... keep reading -_^
the last three or four chapter so
I guess I'll be wrapping all the
mystery up and stuff, but with my
luck, I'll be writing another six
chapters or something (well that's
not bad, but.. you know.. just
annoying when you plan something
and then it just it gets twisted
so much you don't know what the plan
is anymore.)
A note to one of the reviewers,
R.J. Shino, I thank you for
understanding where I'm coming at
and if your reading this right now,
well I'm glad to tell you and anyone
who is reading this, that my next
fic will not be a Shinji/Asuka fic
so if any anti-Asuka people are
reading this, I hope you'll be
reading my next fic, love ya
support!! Oh and I'll post my teaser
for my next fic at the very end of
this fic!
A quick recap, Kasumi has annonced
that she would wait for Shinji
to forget Asuka (as if that is
possible heh) and Daniel, Angel/
owner of NERV, has used the time
rifter to lock on to a specific time
to make him the ruler of the world
and he has the help of our favorite
character, REI!! So how would this
turn Good or Bad? Daniel succeding?
Shinji and Asuka never be able to
go back to their time? well read to
find out ^_^

Destiny and TIme
Chapter 17
Shinji woke up at the usual time, very
early in the morning. He glanced around
the room to find his bearings and shook
his head.
*Not so unfamiliar ceiling..*
He walked towards the window and looked
out. *Those people, so care free, so
happy... why can't I be so care free*
"Cuz I need to save the world no matter
where I go" Shinji chuckled sadly as he
answered his own question, "I have all
the luck, don't I?"
"Of course you do!" Shinji jumped and
turned around to find Asuka standing at
the doorway, "You're living with a babe!"
Asuka struck a pose making Shinji laugh.
"Asuka, why aren't you in bed? I thought
you need your beauty sleep."
"How can I sleep, I just found out that
the person I live with have feelings for
me, well I know already, but that coming
out of YOUR ex-girlfriend. It's kinda
unerving you know."
"I guess," Shinji smiled, "I never expected
her to say something like that."
"Me neither," Asuka grinned, "Well my
knight in purple armor, why don't you
cook breakfast so we can eat."
"Of course Damsel in distress." Shinji
ducked out of the way when Asuka threw
a punch at him.
"Damsel in distress this!" Asuka picked up
Shinji's pillow and threw it at him.
"Well this knight can cook if you keep
on injuring him." Shinji laughed and
caught his own pillow.
"Shinji, can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"When did you grew a spine?"
"WHAT?" Shinji frowned.
"Well... before we came here, your always
I dunno..."
"Oh, well I guess it was something about
the time we're in, I mean, I feel like
anything I do here isn't actually happening
but in fact, I know it is. It's all weird,
I don't like to think about it."
"I think I know what you mean..." Asuka
followed Shinji to the kitchen.
"Hey Asuka, when we get back... you wouldn't.."
"What? tell everyone you tried to moleste
me in the future and try to make you seem
like a moron?"
"No.. well, would you stay this way.. I mean
actually kinda nice to me.."
*and charming and beautiful and sexy and
beautiful, and did I mention beautiful?*
"I guess, I mean as long as YOU stay this
way I guess." Asuka shrugged, "this way
as in not a perverted wimp."
"Ok, we have a deal." Shinji put his hand
out.
"Yup, we have a deal." Asuka put her hand
out as well but...
Shinji was about to shake her hand but
found that Asuka quickly pulled her hand
away, "Huh?"
"I have a better idea." Asuka smiled.
Shinji felt himself being pulled towards
Asuka and felt her lips against his.
*I'm still dreaming right?*
Shinji kissed back quickly and eagerly
but like all kisses, it has to end sooner
or later, and to his regret, this time
it ended sooner.
It's not a dream baka....
Shinji jumped as Asuka's voice echoed in
his mind.
Asuka pinched him lightly on the back of
his hand, "Still think your dreaming?"
Asuka said with a lopsided smile.
"How.. how did you..." Shinji stammered.
"I just realized that few days ago, I guess
we can really talk to each other with our
minds."
"Cool! But just wait til we get back, we're
never gonna hear the end of that." Shinji
chuckled as he pictured the reaction of
his friends and family back in 2015.
"Well, we just have to make this OUR little
secret don't we." Asuka gave Shinji a
shove. (oh and by the way from now on everyting
in this...#.... would be telepathic
conversation between the two pilots and
NO, they would not say dirty stuff in
their thoughts =p)
#go cook breakfast already.#
Shinji jumped, "Asuka stop that... it's
annoying, switching from this to that.."
Asuka laugh out loud, "Well not my
fault I can do that and you can't."
#Wanna bet#
Shinji hold back his urge to roll on the
floor and laugh when he saw Asuka stiffen.
"SHINJI!!"
"I'll cook, I'll cook..." Shinji whimpered
and walked towards the kitchen.
"No matter what time we're in, your
still partially a wimp." Asuka teased.
*******************************
Chron sat at his desk in school hoping
for an angel attack for once just to
escape from what is about to happen.
"Now would you please take your science
text book and turn to page 145 to the
section, Reproduction."
Most people would not mind this section
of science, heck, some people love it,
(Not me though, I can accept it, but
I can't love it.. thats a fact!!)
but this teacher make it seem like...
seem like...
"Now I would like you to choose a partner
of the opposite gender..."
Chron tuned the teacher out and glanced
around the room, and winced.
*Damn, all the good looking girls are
picked.*
Chron looked around and is quickly forced
to make the worst decision in his world.
*That fat girl or Kasumi....* and of course
like he quickly told himself to go to Kasumi
and hope he is not he one to be paired with
another guy or.... the TEACHER...
"Kasumi!" Chron shouted from across the
room.
Kasumi walked towards Chron, "Yeah why don't
you use me as a last resort."
"Well you are stunningly attractive and a-"
"Cut the sweet talk so we can get this
over with." Kasumi glared at him coldly,
not unlike the Gendo glare (ok that was
bad, but it's funny, to a certain degree
=p)
"Ok fine."
KNOCK KNOCK.
A loud knock sounded and the teacher frowned.
"Well seems like we have a special guest today."
The teacher smiled a little, "Mr. Katsuragi, so
nice to see you again..."
Chron pinched himself as if to wake himself up.
*SHINJI IS HERE!!!*
Sure enough, Shinji walked into the room.
"Hello Sensei, I just came by to visit everyone
since I'm on a break from my school and I was
around."
"Great, we're doing the unit on Reproduction
so would you pair up with one of the students."
"Oh Sensei, would you mind i-"
"Hey Sh.. err, Jirou, what are you doing?"
*Who's with him?* Chron walked towards the
door of the classroom.
"ASUKA!!"
"Oh hi, thought we'd stop by and see whatcha
doing and all that." Asuka said casually.
"Like I was saying, you don't mind if we
just watch?" Shinji say annoyed.
"Oh that's ok, your a guest."
"Lucky bastard." Chron whispered to Shinji
"I try." Shinji grinned.
"So if you would be kind enough to sit down,
I'd like this activity to start."
Chron walked back to his partner, "Well Kasumi,
let's get this over with."
*******15 minutes later*******
Asuka was clutching her stomach to ease her
pain from preventing herself from laughing.
#Did I just see what I just saw# Asuka recived
Shinji's message.
#Oh yeah.. and IT WAS DAMN FUNNY HAHHAHAHAH#
Asuka felt a little better laughing mentally.
"Ok, and that's that class." The teacher announced.
"THAT WAS A NIGHTMARE!" Chron screamed.
"HEY, YOU BETTER NOT SAY THAT, YOU ARE PARTNERS
WITH MY EX-GIRLFRIEND." Shinji shouted towards
Chron.
"Thanks Shinji" Kasumi sweetly.
"WHAT ex-girlfrined!" the whole class exclaimed.
Asuka, Kasumi, and Shinji sweatdropped as the whole
class fall out of their chairs or just fall down on
the ground.
"What?" Asuka looked around confused.
"I thought you'll guys would still be a couple
after what Jirou here," the girl who is speaking
pointed to Shinji, "said in class, and pretty
loud too I might add."
"What did JIROU said." Asuka glared at Shinji.
"Umm I don't think you should be-" Shinji
was cut off by the girl.
"I think he said something about staying
with Kasumi until err.. fate pulled them apart
or something?"
"JIROU and I need to talk." Asuka said with
venom in her voice.
"Thanks alot MICHU." Shinji said as Asuka dragged
him out of the room.
"IT IS MICHIRU!!!" Michiru screamed.
"Well at least it wasn't me who said it Michu."
Sakaru grinned.
*******************************
"Shinji.." Asuka said with deadly sweetness, "mind
telling me what THAT was all about."
"Umm.. err..." Shinji starts to mentally shiver,
"I.. err... well.. it's.."
"Just spit it out." Asuka converted to her cold voice.
"At that time, I was going out with her and.. well..
I kinda *mumble*.."
"Your lucky I can't ready your thoughts.." Asuka glared
at Shinji.
*Yeah... VERY lucky...* Shinji winced when he saw
Asuka snarled.
"Too bad I can hear what your thinking.. not to clearly
though..."
"I... err... sorry...."
"Quit apologizing.. GOD..." Asuka shakes her head, "Don't
you EVER find anything else to say?"
"sorry."
"THERE YOU GO AGAIN," Asuka said annoyingly, "aarrgghh,
you still a wimp no matter what you do."
"...."
#I'll let you go this time, but you better make it up
to me# Shinji looked up and saw Asuka glaring at him.
"Of course." Shinji sighed in relief.
"AARRGGHHH, your hopeless." Asuka waved her arms in the
air and walked off.
"Well well well... lookie here." Shinji turned to see
Sakaru standing behind him, "Acting like a married
couple already I see."
Shinji blushed, "Well.. err.. heh."
Sakaru rolled her eyes, "You weren't THAT easy to tease
a few days ago."
Shinji recovered from his blush, "Looks like things are
slowly going back to normal for me."
"What do you mean?"
"Long story... you'll hear it when the time comes."
"Okie, just remember to tell me!" Sakaru hopped
back into class.
*I bet their sensei is pretty pissed off at me
right now..*
*******************************
Shinji followed the two new pilots to NERV after
school, since he can't find Asuka anywhere and
he doesn't have anything to do.
"...and then this guy says 'man your kidding
right', then the other guy says, 'no way man'
and so the first guy-"
"SAKARU, STOP!!" Chron screamed.
"What??" Sakaru said in a whiny voice.
"Your babbling.."
"Oh sorry."
Shinji couldn't help but chuckle at the two's
antics.
"What so funny?" Chron asked Shinji
"Nothing, just an old joke" Shinji lied, and
for once he did it pretty well too.
"Care to share?" Sakaru joined the two.
"Nope..." Shinji shook his head for enthasis.
Silence over took the three, for a while. Then
as usual, the 'Chron sarcasium' appeared again.
"Yippy... Sync tests... oh, how I love thee.."
"And how I love seeing you try so hard to beat
my record." Chron turned around to see who
said that.
"Oh, your out of practise ASUKA.. I bet I can
beat your Sync Rate just like THAT." Chron
boasted.
"I wouldn't count on that..." Shinji warned.
"Oh yeah.. I'll prove it... I'll join you
guys in the sync test, jjjuuuusst this once
so I can show you why I'm DA BEST!!" Asuka
smirked.
"And I'll come to just to make you feel
worst." Shinji added then bursts out
laughing.
"When did YOU start doing what I do?" Asuka
inquired.
"When in Rome, do as the Romans do." Shinji
shurgged.
"Oh, that is SSSOOO deep" Sakaru said sarcastically
"Well, like they say, there's always someone
better than the best, and right now, I'm gonna
prove it." Chron puffed out his chest and walked
into the change room.
"Well there goes his pride." Sakaru giggled when
she heard Asuka's remark.
"I'll tell Kensu and those guys that we're joining
them in the Sync Test ok?" Shinji started to walk
towards the command post.
"Sure, just don't chicken out." Asuka grinned.
"Don't worry... I won't..."
*******************************
Asuka sat in the simulator plug as it is filled up
by LCL.
"So Asuka.. why the change of heart?" Asuka rolled
her eyes when she heard the commander of First Branch
attempting to tease her.
"I have to prove something to the baka over there,
and I'm not talking about Shinji." Asuka said
while trying to get use to the LCL again.
"So why is Shinji here?"
"I'm just here to give Chron morale support when
Asuka beats him." Shinji said sympathtically.
"HEY, I CAN BEAT HER." Chron defiantly said.
"When cows fly Chron... when cows fly." Asuka
laughed.
"Guys, we're starting now." Kensu said over the
comm.
*Concentrate.... concentrate....* Asuka thought
to herself as she readied herself for the sync.
#Stop thinking so loud# Asuka flinched and shot
Shinji a glare.
#Why don't you butt out#
#Well I would ASUKA if you don't think so loud!#
"Umm Asuka, I hate to break it to you, but I
think this time Chron is REALLY gonna beat you."
Kensu said bewildered
Asuka stared holes into Shinji through the video.
#Look what you've done#
#OK.. I'll stop if you stop.. deal!#
#Deal#
With that, Asuka started to concentrate again.
"Ok Asuka, I take that back." Kensu said again.
"Oh damnit.. almost thought I had her." Chron
doubled his efforts.
"Chron good luck, your not even close to Shinji."
Kasumi said with a giggle.
"WHAT!! I was just about .6% away from Shinji
last time!" Chron exclaimed.
"Well I can't believe this but... Shinji
and Asuka has the same Sync Ratio..." Kensu
announced.
"Which is..." Chron asked.
"84.6%.. wow last time Shinji was only at 75
or something." Kensu was impressed.
"Well I caught up to you Asuka, what do
you have to say for yourself?" Shinji finally
used his vocal cord for the first time during
the Sync test.
"Your just lucky."
"This is why I hate sync tests." Sakaru sighed.
"Don't feel so down Sakaru, your sync rate
improved 3% this time!" Kasumi said encoragingly.
"So I'm at what...56%?" Sakaru sighed again.
"Come on Sakaru, you have to also see how long
we've been piloting too." Shinji said trying
to cheer Sakaru up.
"Thanks Shinji..." Sakaru smiled weakly.
"Weeeellll... I think this is enough for today."
Kensu said seeing two REALLY depressed pilots.
"I'm outta here!" Asuka shouted as she jumped
out of the simulation plug. The other pilots
followed suit (Not as enthusiastically though)
soon after.
*******************************
"Have anyone of you seen anything like that?"
Patricia asked the bridge crew.
"N-no... their sync was... perfectly matched
up.." Kensu said with confusion in his voice.
"Like they are the same person." Kasumi
finished Kensu's sentence.
"This is interesting.." one of the officers
saidl, "Maybe this job does have it's up side."
"What! and help saving the world isn't?" Kasumi
laughed.
"Oh come on... watching the battle and preparing
to die isn't my favorite thing to do ya know!"
The commander rolled her eyes, "Come on, someone
go ask our two favorite heroes to see what that
was about."
"I'll go." Kasumi said and walked out.
"Same here." Kensu quickly followed.
"Anyone else?" Commander Itsuko scanned around the
room, "Are they REALLY that freaky to you?"
"Well you see... err.." one of the male officer
said, "we kinda..."
All of the officers (male AND female) starts to
blush.
"Oh brother.." The commander shook her head in
disgust, "THEY ARE AT LEAST 10 YEARS YOUNGER
THAN YOU ALL!!"
The whole bridge crew frowned and looked at one
another, "Huh? What were you thinking commander?"
"Ok... my bad."
*******************************
Kensu and Kasumi waited infront of the door of the
change room.
"So... how in the world are we suppose to asked them?"
Kasumi asked Kensu.
"Your the genius here, you think of something!" Kensu
shrugged.
"Your older!"
"Well, I have the wisdom of a 10 year old so there!"
Kensu stopped for a moment, "I just insulted myself
didn't I?"
Kasumi stared at him, "Ok nevermind, I'll ask."
Then Chron walked out of the change room, "Hey guys,
here to laugh in my face already?"
"Nope, but if you want us to..." Kensu grinned.
"That's ok.. I think I could live with that."
"So where's Shinji and Asuka?" Kasumi asked.
"Shinji's still taking a shower, I don't know WHY he
would take a shower for so long." Chron frowned, "and
why would you ask me about Asuka?"
"Ok.. well... Kensu, why don't you go in and see when
Shinji would be ready." Kasumi suggested.
"No way, I don't wanna know what LCL smells like."
"Oh well." Kasumi sighed and leaned on the wall opposite
of the doors.
Few minutes past, Sakaru walked out of the change room.
"Hey guys, so nice of you to wait for me, I feel so
special now." Sakaru giggled.
"Sorry Sakaru, we're not waiting for ya." Kensu said.
"AAwwww.. and I thought you would." Sakaru pouted.
"Look what you did, are you stupid or something, your
hurting her feelings." Chron said, mildly annoyed.
"Any if you have noticed, she was just kidding."
Kasumi pointed to Sakaru who is grinning at the
moment.
"Oh..." Chron seem to shrink.
"Well well well.. what do we have here, Chron, why
don't you tell us why you did that." Kensu grinned.
"Ya see.. I... I.. havta g-g-g-g..." Chron's eyes
widen.
"What Chron?" Sakaru said while leaning towards
Chron, "you havta what?"
"AAhhh.. young love... how I wish to be young again."
Kensu said dramatically
"What!.. What the hell are you talking about!" Chron
said while backing away from Sakaru, "I don't even
like her!"
Sakaru turned around and sniffed, "You don't like me.."
"I err.. no no no.. I mean.. oh crap.."
Kasumi laughed, "Man, I never thought your THAT stupid
Chron."
"Huh?" Chron looked around him and saw Kensu rolling
on the ground and laughing, and Sakaru giggle non-stop.
"What so funny guys?" Shinji and Asuka walked out and
said simultaneously.
"Oh, hiya, we're just laughing at Chron." Sakaru thought
for a moment, "As usual."
"Shinji, Asuka, we have something to ask you." Kasumi
started, "Privatly if you don't mind."
"Sure, I guess." Asuka shrugged.
"Can we come too?" Sakaru asked eagerly.
"Why don't you go with your boyfriend here." Kensu said
to annoy Chron some more.
"Boyfriend?" Shinji frowned.
"He means Chron." Kasumi giggled.
"Wow, you two hooked up already? when? where? how?"
Asuka asked.
"It was just a joke you guys, anyways, why would I
even wanna date HER!" Chron said defensivly.
"But.. but you said." Sakaru turned on her 'helpless
girl act', which involves her sniffing and sobbing.
"Oh god.. not again.. Sakaru... oh come on.. I
don't mean that.. I mean.. I do.. I mean.. oh crap,
not again." Chron shook his head, "I'll never hear
the end of this."
"Oh come on Chron, we all know you like Sakaru the
first time you saw her." Kensu stated.
"WHAT!! HOW DID YOU KNO.... I AM stupid, aren't I?"
"Yup." Shinji nodded his head, "Well look at the
bright side, at least you'll have a new girlfriend."
Sakaru backed off, "Hey hey hey, let's not jump to
conclusions now. Who said I wanted to date HIM!"
With that said, Sakaru walked off.
"Well looks like you won't have a new girlfriend."
Shinji observed.
"Hey at least you'll be living you single life to
you fullest." Kensu noted.
"Plus you need the extra time to do your homework."
Kasumi added.
"So you better go home now." Asuka finished.
All four of them waved goodbye to Chron.
"Fine, I know I'm not wanted here, I'll go." Chron
walked off.
"Well that takes care to THOSE two." Kensu switch
to his 'serious mode', "Let's get down to business."
*******************************
Kensu and Kasumi led the two pilots to the meeting
area.
"Ok I just wanna ask you a few questions and we're
outta here ok." Kensu said.
"Sure." Shinji shrugged.
"Do you know what happened during the sync test?"
Kensu asked.
"We synced with our Evas..." Asuka rolled her eyes.
"That's not all, well you see..." Kensu paused to
find the right words.
"You two synced with your Evas together... at the
exact same rate, and we would just like to know
HOW you did that." Kasumi said for Kensu.
Kasumi watched the two pilots for their reaction,
but sooner after, she was totally confused at their
expression.
*What the heck are they doing.. why the hell are they
making faces at a time like this??*
"Umm.. guys... are you ok."
"YES!" Shinji and Asuka both shouted.
*Ok.. they've lost it...*
"Umm, Kensu.. I think they need to see a
psychiatrist." Kasumi whispered to Kensu.
Kasumi returned her attention to the two pilots who
is still making glaring and scrawling at each other.
"Guys... are you ok..." Kasumi said with concern.
Asuka visably sighed and glared at Shinji one last
time, "Yeah yeah, we'll tell you."
"Asuka and I are... err.."
"Well tell them you BAKA, you're the one who said
so!"
"WELL, if SOMEONE didn't interrupt me when I was
about to tell them, MAYBE I would have told them
straight off the bat."
"SO YOUR SAYING THIS IS MY FAULT!!"
"Oh yes I AM."
Kasumi and Kensu both stared at the argument and
blinked.
"Umm... guys.." Kensu said nervously.
"Fine I'll tell them." Shinji said with anger
"ARRRGGGHH, FINE YOU BAKA!" Asuka turned around.
"So..." Kasumi started to back away.
"We're telepathic okay. There I did it, HAPPY!"
The Third Child turned the other way.
"Yeah good THIRD CHILD!" Asuka shouted.
"Ok.. that explains the glares." Kasumi said trying
to sound normal, in which she is failing miserably.
"But how does it explain your sync ratios?" Kensu
asked.
Shinji and Asuka both turned to face Kasumi and
Kensu again, and after a moment, "We dunno."
"YOUR a big help." Kensu sighed, "Well let's get
out of here, you guys look like you need to kill
something."
"Remember what I said Asuka." Kasumi said with a
wink towards Shinji and then left.
*They're telepathic... maybe I REALLY didn't have
a chance at the beginning...* Kasumi thought
sadly, *Don't be such a downer Kasumi, you know
you still have a chance. Well, if I don't, that
guy that works at the radar looks pretty good too.*
Kasumi rolled her eyes, *Yeah right... I hope Asuka
screws up.*
*******************************
"Sir, when are we proceeding with your plan?"
"Midnight, tonight." Daniel replied.
"Then maybe I'll see her again."
"Yes, you'll see her" Daniel smirked, *In hell...*
"Send in Pilot Ayanami."
"Yes sir."
Few minutes later, after the silent message sent
to the blue haired pilot, Rei walked in.
"Rei, I want you to prepare yourself for tonight,
remember what I taught you." Daniel said without
expression.
"Understood."
"We will begin at midnight, when all the pilots are
tired."
"Understood."
"You are to rest for the rest of the day until that
time. Dismissed." Daniel signaled her to leave.
Rei bowed and then left the room.
*Yes... if I'm correct, the Pilot Ikari will not
attack. That leaves the other three which is not threat
to me*
Daniel smirked. "Everyone, take a rest, you'll need it
for tonight."
*Don't say I was cruel, at least I let them sleep before
they all die.*
*******************************
"I'm having a bad feeling." Shinji said while lounging
on the sofa, "Something big is gonna happen."
"Oh, now you see the future huh?" Asuka said sarcastically.
"No I'm serious," Shinji frowned, "I'm HAVING a bad feeling."
"Must be the beans." Asuka laughed at her own joke.
"Very funny Asuka." Shinji starts to stare into space.
#Your know Shinji, that staring off into space thing you
do is kinda annoying#
Shinji jumped, #Yeah and talking to me like this suddenly
is also annoying#.
"I'm going to sleep Asuka."
"WHAT! It's only 6!! are you sick or something?" Asuka
said, showing only hints of concern.
"No, I don't think so, but I just feel tired." Shinji
walked towards his room, "Wake me up when you want
dinner ok?"
*This feeling isn't gonna leave, is it...*
"Hey Shinji, you might as well make dinner first, I don't
like waking people up."
Shinji turned around, "Ok sure."
For a while, Shinji thought about the feeling he is having,
but when he starts cooking, he starts to forget the
feeling, and after he finished, fatigue too over and Shinji
was too tired to even think about the 'bad feeling'.
"Asuka, dinner is ready, when you want to eat it and it's
too cold, just put in in the microwave or something."
Shinji muttered.
"You sure your ok," Asuka said with an unusual show of
concern, "you really look bad."
"yeah, i'm fine." Shinji said in a half sleep state and
no sooner, flop down on his bed and fell asleep.
*******************************
Shinji....
*go away*
I can't....
*Why can't you*
Because... I have to tell you something...
Shinji opened his eyes and found himself in a black void.
"Where am I?"
A black void...
"What do you have to tell me?"
Your boundary is falling apart...
"What boundaries?"
You must rebuild your boundary, having her to support it
will not help...
"Whose her? Kasumi? Sakaru? Asuka?"
Rebuild...
"How!"
Good luck...
"WAIT!!"
Goodbye...
"WWWAAAAAIIIIIIITT!!!"
*******************************
Shinji woke up in cold sweat.
*What happened....*
The Third Child turned his head and picked up the clock
beside his bed.
*11:57... it's late.. I better get to sleep*
This thoughts is rudely inturrupted by his stomach, who
rumbled in hunger.
"Might as well eat first." Shinji whispered to himself
and pushed himself off his bed and headed for the kitchen.
I took about a minute for him to find some left over
from dinner that Asuka hasn't finished and starts to eat.
*11:59... almost midnight...* He quickly finished, since
there wasn't much left, but it was enough to satisfy his
hunger, for now.
*******Meanwhile*******
NERV First Branch
Commander Itsuko, please report to the bridge immediatly.
The commander snapped awake and rushed to the bridge as
quickly as possible, "What is it? and someone please
hand me a cup of coffee, at least I can stay awake for
this on."
"Ma'am, we have detected an Eva, we're not sure if this
is just a cliche, but it seems real."
"Send for the pilots, we might need them."
"In the middle of the night ma'am?"
"Yes, NOW."
*******************************
RING RING
Shinji winced at the loud sound of the telephone.
"Yes?"
"Pilot Ikari, please get Pilot Soryu to NERV immediatly,
we might need your help."
*NERV..*
"We'll be right there."
"There will be a black limo waiting for you, please
hurry!"
Shinji placed the phone back to it's orginal position,
*This sounds like a big crisis...*
#ASUKA# Shinji laughed a little when he heard a loud
thump coming from Asuka's room.
#SHINJI NO BAKA, WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT!!#
#NERV business, black limo is just downstairs waiting
for us, I'm going ahead ok?#
#I'll be down in a minute#
Shinji quickly thank the gods that he has slept at 6
earlier, even IF he did have that weird dream.
*******************************
"Ma'am, the Eva is headed towards Geofront!" Commander
Itsuko cursed out loud.
"Where are the pilots!"
As if on cue, Chron, Shinji, Asuka, and Sakaru burst in
through the door.
"There you are! Pilots, get in your Evas, we have a
situation!"
"Another angel?" Sakaru asked.
"No, it's an Eva."
The pilots gasped.
"Don't just stand there, get in those Evas!"
The four pilots immediatly dashed out the door.
"Commander, the Eva has been identified, it's the
lost prototype."
*******************************
The four Evas stood inside Geofront awaiting their
enemy, but only Shinji was fully awake.
"Guys, wake up, it's almost here."
"Damnit, and I thought I'd get some sleep tonight
too, after all that homework." Chron complained.
"Well I was having my beauty sleep. Whoever is
piloting that Eva is gonna pay." Sakaru snarled.
"Same here," Asuka agreed, "and I was having such
a nice dream too!"
Shinji sighed, *looks like I'm the only one whose
awake. This is gonna be-*
The screen in front of Shinji flickered, and a new
window came on with Daniel on it.
'Pilot Ikari, do you hear me?'
"Yeah, what do you want Daniel." Shinji said calmly.
'Pilot Ikari, I am here to give you a suggestion,
as you will see soon, the Eva you are about to face
is the Unit 00 which is piloted by non other than..'
"Ayanami... but... shes..."
'I am here to give you a choice, come and help me
or fight me. I gurantee that if you fight me, you
will lose.'
"Life has no gurantees Daniel, no deal." Shinji
spat at him.
'Fine, be that way, looks like I'll be needing
to force you to see it my way.'
The window flickered off and Shinji's attention
went back to Eva 00.
*That bad feeling... it is coming true...*
