Tears of an Angel
Chapter 4
"Where the heck are they?" Asuka moaned. "It's already nine-thirty! It's been three hours now!"
"Calm down, Asuka," Misato suggested, "They probably had some problem getting home." Despite her words, Misato was getting worried herself. What could be taking them, Misato thought? Rei and Toji were watching the Evangelion Movie in the living room while munching on popcorn.
"Hey, that blue-haired girl with the red eyes looks like me," Rei called out in excitement. Asuka and PenPen were licking on strawberry popsicles with Misato, still drinking beer can after beer can, while they waited.
"I'm starving!" Asuka said. "Do you want me to go out and look for them, Misato?"
"I'm sure they'll come back soon," she answered reassuringly.
"Misato, come on! Those two have been gone for three hours after they just went down the street for dinner! Something MUST be wrong if it takes two fourteen year old boys to walk down the street, pick up a pack of ramen, and come home? Not long in my book! Misato, think about it!" Misato, tipsy as she was, fully agreed to this; she decided to throw on a bra and comb her hair and go out looking for Shinji and Kaworu.
"Asuka, hang here with Toji and Rei until I come back. Keep the door locked and don't open it for anyone, got it? I'll be back soon. I'll be on my cell if I call you or you call me." Misato tied her boots tightly and threw on her red jacket and stormed out the door no longer looking drunk, even though she was, but serious and worried.
Asuka looked at the closed door and cursed under her breath. "You two idiots; where the hell are you guys?" Hearing all the noise from the living room about the movie, Asuka decided to watch the movie to make her stress level go down a bit.
Misato was running down the narrow, wet road toward the specialty store. She blasted through the front doors and the people jumped with sudden surprise. Misato spotted the cashier and stomped at her with a 'tell me everything you know' look.
"You work here?" Misato demanded.
"Urm....y-y-yes," stammered the female cashier.
"Did two male teenagers come here about three hours ago? Please tell me!" The cashier, worried and scared, thought for a few moments and finally blurted out:
"Um...what did they look like, Miss?"
"One had short, brown hair and deep blue eyes and medium peach tone skin. The other was taller only by an inch or two and had medium gray hair with crimson eyes and pale alabaster skin. Miss!! Have you seen them? What did they buy? I need information!" The customers were looking as though this was really a serious matter and not just a practical joke.
"Yes...YES! I know who you're talking about!" shouted the cashier. "They brought about four packs of ramen noodles and were headed downtown, I believe."
"Thanks! Thanks a lot, cashier girl!" Misato called out as she ran out the door when the cashier said the word 'downtown'. Misato looked at her watch as she ran and ran passed stop signs and intersections. Where do you two need to be at this hour downtown, Misato thought? Suddenly Misato stopped like she was shot in the back. Misato reached into her pocket and took out her plan book and saw what the date was.
"June 20....," Misato said quietly. "Dammit, I should've remembered. I'm such a...fool." Misato looked up at the street sign on the silver pole that read 'cemetery'. Misato completely forgot that this day was the day that Kaworu told Misato that he had to leave on a vacation.
A permanent vacation.
