I'll be waiting
Chapter2
Arrival
Shinji continued on his walk down into the bowels of NERV… His destination was an old target range in the in one of NERV's many unused sublevels..
In his hand he held a small piece of paper… This was the reason for him going here…
The letter was addressed to him, it told him to go to the targetrange to meet someone… Someone who apparently had something to say..
While His thoughts twisted, turned and churned in his head, he was unaware of a figure following and watching him from afar…
Where the hell is HE headed? Thought Asuka. This area hasn't been used by NERV for ages!
I wonder what drove him to go here..?
In front of her, Shinji walked steadily through the almost endless corridor.. His eyes have become accustomed to the darkness after walking in the dim lights for 10 minutes…
His breathing was steady, his eyes looking straight ahead… His composure was that of a confident young man.. But his outward appearance was completely opposite from what he was feeling at that moment…
Fear, anticipation, excitement, anxiety and curiosity all welled up and inside of him..
His mind was a chaotic battle zone of uneasy thoughts andinner conflict, yet he walked on..
He walked on through the labyrinth of concrete and steel; He walked on still unawareof the only other person in the vicinity,
the person that was following him..
After what seemd like an eternity of walkng Shinji finally reached his destination.
He stood infront of a large viewing window set into the wall, behind it he could see the individual booths used for target practice, unused earmufs and safety-glasses hanging from pegs inside each one.
He walked abit further further to the door that led inside. The sliding steel door used to be opened with a cardkey, but with all elecronic and computer systems in that sector off-line, Shinji had to open the door manually.
Grasping the recessed handle in his hand, shinji slowly slid the door open. However, he did this quite easily since the bearing that supported it seem to have withstood the disrepair quite well.
He stepped inside, not noticing the pair of eyes watching his every move.
Once inside, Shinji searched for signs of life, but he found none.
"I'm here!" He called-out. "Who are you? Why did you call for me?"
Moments passed in silence, but Shinji still got no reply.
His heart began to sink in dissapointment.
He continued to wait. He waited while the hope of discoviring the reason for the letter he held faded fast.
As he was about to leave, he spotted it. He saw the letter pinned to a small bulletin board filled with yellowed memos and documents.
He walked towards it, exited but still abit dissapointed for not seeing her in person...
He took it down and opened it..
He began reading it...
Suddenly, "HEY BAKA! WHAT DO YOU HAVE THERE!"
Asuka burst into the room...

Time for me to answer some of the reviews…Sun ce-kitten24k-1: hmn.. Interesting Idea… but I have no plans of writing yuri.. (For now!) Maybe Ill write an AU story based on that idea someday..
Deathsyte01: the first paring you suggested was on my mind for sometime now… let's see what happens after a few chapters ..
Dennisud: the "stiffness" is a result of English not being my first language.. Im Filipino so my english isn't very good..
