Chapter 3

Hikari's Dairy

Asuka is spending the night again and like normal, all she does is talk about is Shinji. Baka Shinji this and baka Shinji that. I wish she would listen to herself occasionally. If she would, I think she would see how much she likes him. All she ever does is talk about him. I think she started to like him even before they met. Asuka told me how she likes Kaji but that is just a schoolgirl crush. I hope she starts to look at Shinji a little bit differently soon.

As Hikari closes her dairy Asuka comes walking back into the bedroom after getting her shower.

"What are you doing Hikari? Writing in your dairy?"

"Yeah, I had something I needed to put down on paper."

"What is it? Is it about somebody I know? Come on you can tell me."

"No Asuka I'm not telling. Its private."

"Its about Toji isn't it?"

" Yes its about Toji." Hikari lied not wanting to make Asuka mad at her too."

"I just don't see what you like about him. He's nothing but a dumb jock."

"I know that Asuka, but I do like him. I think he's nice. There is just something about him I like."

"Ok, ok, I'm not going to argue with you about him. So what should we do tomorrow Hikari?"

"Well, for one thing Asuka, I think we should stop by your place and check on Shinji."

"Why would I want to do that for? I don't even want to see him right now."

"I think you should apologize to him Asuka. You were hard on him today."

"I should have been a lot harder on him. That was really baka of him to forget our lunches like that."

"Asuka, you know if you would help him sometimes maybe he wouldn't forget things. In addition, did you even ask him what time he got up? Maybe he had gotten up late too."

Asuka thought about this for a little bit. "Maybe your right. I never did ask him what time he got up. Just to make you happy I might apologize to him."

Misato had just hung up the telephone when Ritsuko came into her office.

"Why the puzzled look Misato?"

"Well I just got off the phone with Shinji and I really don't think he is alone."

"Why is that? Isn't Asuka there with him?"

"No Asuka called earlier and told me she was going to stay at Hikari's."

"Then why don't you think he's alone?"

"Well…while we were talking I herd a girls voice in the background. He said it was the TV but it sounded to real to be on the TV."

"I wouldn't worry about it too much. Section two hasn't reported anything about any new girls around Shinji."

"Maybe it was Rei. Shinji might have asked her to come over."

"No it couldn't be Rei, she just left here about ten minutes ago. Anyway here are the reports you need to fill out by morning."

"Thanks a lot, that's all I need is more paper work. You are going to stay and help me right dear friend?"

"Nope, I have a lot to do myself. Well I have to get going. See you later Misato."

"Some friend she is turning out to be." Misato muttered to herself as she started on the reports.

Ai stood there dumbfounded when Shinji walked into his room telling her to leave him alone. She has never had anybody do that to her. "I wonder what his problem is. Its not like I was really wanting him to have sex with me. I was just teasing him."

Not knowing what to do she sat down on the couch and started thinking what she could do to cheer Shinji up. While she was thinking she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Shinji laid in bed listening to his DAT. He was thinking, "that was pretty dumb of me. Here I have a girl in my house and what do I do? I tell her to leave me alone and then leave her by herself. Boy Shinji you really are baka."

Ai awoke with a jolt. She looked around and saw that she was alone in the living room. Seeing a clock she saw that it was about 1:30 in the morning. "I know" she thought "it might cheer him up if he awakes next to a beautiful girl in the morning."

Ai turned out the lights and went to Shinji's room. She very quietly opened the door and walked in. After closing the door, she proceeded to get undressed. " Well, I'm not going to sleep next to him just wearing a pair of panties." That's when she saw Shinji's white shirt draped over the chair at his desk. "This will be good to wear" Ai thought as she put it on.

After changing her clothes, Ai slipped into bed with Shinji trying not to wake him. As she did Shinji rolled over and said something in his sleep.

"Asuka".

"Asuka, who's Asuka?", Ai wondered as she fell back asleep.
