Looking into the eyes of the red devil
Chapter 7
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shinji rose from his bed and rubbed his eyes. He got up, stretched and got dressed. As he walked out to the living room he was filled with dread as he knew today was going to be long and frantic. It was about 9:30 when he got up. Asuka was still asleep. Misato was up and already had begun to cook breakfast. He sat down at the table to a bowl of cereal and toast. He lightly nibbled on the toast then got himself some orange juice. He took a large sip and placed it back on the table and picked up the spoon to eat his cereal. He ate for a while until Asuka got up and joined him.
"Good morning, Asuka" Shinji greeted.
"Good morning, Shinji" she replied.
"So, Misato what time are we going to the beach?" asked Asuka.
"I was thinking around noon or so" she answered.
"Well then I'm going to get a shower and get ready" said Asuka. She finished her breakfast and jumped into the shower.
The soothing hot water relaxed her tired muscles. She sighed in relief of the waters effects and began to wash her hair. She took some strawberry scented shampoo and lathered her hair and rinsed, then she applied conditioner. And then some cocoa scented body wash. She rinsed off and applied some body lotion and stepped out of the shower. She wrapped a towel around herself and proceeded to go back into her room to find something to wear. She picked out a new pair of jeans and a cute t-shirt but before she put that on she put her red and white bikini on. She came out and Shinji and Misato were already ready.
"Let's go!" exclaimed Asuka and they started out for the beach.
"So, Asuka Hikari isn't going too?" asked Shinji.
"Nah, I thought a day with just me and you would be a lot of fun" said Asuka.
"And don't get any ideas from that either" she added. They continued walking to the beach.
"So, Shinji bet you'll be looking at all the cute girls" said Misato. Shinji knew she said that just to make Asuka angry, and it worked. Asuka could feel the rage building inside of her.
"Uh, not really" said Shinji. Asuka calmed down a little bit. They continued their walk.

The beach
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They walked on the burning hot sand looking for a place to lay their towel. Misato lay their extra large towel on the sand and Misato began to undress. She too was already wearing her bikini and immediately she caught attention. Asuka joined and took of her t shirt and jeans and also like Misato she drew attention from many teenage boys. Shinji felt pissed at how the boys just looked at her in awe. He could hear the obscene remarks they made and it only fueled his rage.
"Come on baka, start rubbing me down with oil" said Asuka.
"Time to break some hearts" she added. Shinji took some oil and worked it through his palms and began to massage Asuka's shoulders and back she let out a soft moan. Misato was busy with her cooler that was filled with nothing but Yebisu, Boa and four bottles of a Japanese cola. She took out a can of Yebisu and popped it open and began to drink. As Shinji applied the oil he could feel the tension rising and he reflected on the past few weeks and realized their was a lot of tension from the past days and he realized all the times he could of told Asuka how he felt but he just ran away like he always did.
"Ahhhhhh, that feels so nice, Shinji" said Asuka. As some of the people who were admiring Asuka soon became disgusted as they saw her and Shinji.
"Oh, Shinji your hands feel so good on my skin!" cried Asuka.
"Um, Asuka why are we doing this?" asked Shinji.
"So people will get jealous, baka" she said quietly.
"Looks like you two are having fun" said Misato and just as she said that her cell phone rang.
"Hello, Misato speaking"
"Okay"
"I understand"
"Yes"
"Okay"
"Goodbye"
"That was NERV, they need me in there right away, I suggest we leave in case I need to contact you both" said Misato and they left.
"So much for our day in the sun" said Asuka.
"I got my cell phone so in case you need us you can call us" said Shinji with his phone in his hand.
"Okay, behave you two" said Misato and as she left she winked at them.
"Alright Shinji now start massaging my shoulders" said Asuka and she sat up and Shinji began to rub her tight shoulders. Soon after she was purring like a kitten.
"Right there!" she exclaimed.
"Right here?" he asked as he placed his hands back on the spot.
"Yes!" she cried. Shinji looked up to see all the glaring faces of jealous guys as they shoot daggers at him.
"Now kiss me" said Asuka.
"What!" exclaimed the surprised Shinji.
"Be a man and just kiss me" said Asuka. Shinji complied and kissed her on lips and she loved every second of it. By that time Shinji could here peoples remarks.
"Okay now we can go!" said Asuka and they gathered up their stuff and left.

"So what's the problem?" asked Misato.
"The MAGI have just confirmed the 24th angel" said Ritsuko.
"It will arrive in eight hours" she added.
"But we have no visual or any other information" said Ritsuko.
"So we wait" said Misato.
"Right" said Ritsuko.
"I don't like the feeling of this" said Misato.

Misato's apartment

"I'm bored" exclaimed Asuka.
"Me too" said Shinji.
"I thought you would have a boyfriend by now" said Shinji.
"What's that suppose to mean? she asked.
"Besides all the boys at our school are all a bunch of hentais"
"There only after one thing" she added. Shinji laughed.
"Yeah, your right there" he said.
"What about you, you only care about one thing?" she asked.
"No" he said.
"I want it to be with the right person you know, someone I love" he added.
"Why don't you have a girlfriend?" she asked.
"I'm...scared" he said.
"SCARED!" she yelled.
"You got to be kidding me" she said.
"No" he said.
"I figured you and Wondergirl would be going out" she said.
"Rei is very nice, but I don't know" he said.
"I kinda like someone else" he said.
"Who?" she asked.
"It's none of your business" he said.
"Awww come one!" she said.
"No!" he protested.
"I'll tell you some other time" he said.
'I need to know who he likes!' thought Asuka.
'What if it's me!' she added.
"Hey I'll make us some dinner" said Shinji.
"I'm really not that hungry, I'm going to go take a nap" said Asuka.
'I hope she hasn't figured it out that I like her' thought Shinji. And at the moment his cell phone rang.
"Asuka, we got to get down to NERV!" yelled Shinji. All of the sudden Asuka wasn't sleepy anymore and they ran down to NERV.

"About eight hours ago we received confirmation from the MAGI of the 24th angel" said Misato.
"We now have visual on the target" she added. And an image of the 24th angle appeared on screen.
"We have no other information on the angel, our plan is for Asuka to be there to first engage the angel" said Misato.
"You will be given an assault rifle and an Progressive knife" said Misato.
"Wait for the angel to attack first" she added. Shinji and Rei you will be placed on the catapults ready for launch.
"Understood" said Rei. They got in their Eva's and got ready on the catapults.
"Eva unit-02 launch!" said Misato and Asuka was off.
She waited with her assault rifle, the sky remain a dark blue and an uncomfortable silence soon drew near.
'Some things not right' thought Asuka as she waited for the angel. Just as she dropped her guard a white light shot through a building and destroyed it. She looked watched as a green ball with an eye floated through Tokyo-3. Asuka opened fire on the angel. But the angel merely absorbed the impact.
"What the hell?" she yelled. She fired upon the angel a second time but the same just happened. The angel absorbed the attack. The angel got closer to Asuka not attacking just floating closer and closer until it was face to face and it's eye stared at Asuka.
"Asuka! get out of there!" cried Misato.
"I can't!" she replied.
"I can't move the Eva" she added.
"Eject the entry plug!" yelled Misato.
"It's no good, it's not responding!" said Maya. The angel expanded and wrapped around Eva unit-02.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!" she screamed. Shinji heard her screams. They were the same as the ones before when she first got attacked by the 19th angel. He immediately jumped and climbed through the tunnel that he countlessly gone through before but this time he was climbing through it. When he reached the surface he saw Asuka's now corrupted Eva. It's body was now green and it's eyes red.
"Asuka!" he called but he got no response. The angel aimed the Eva's assault rifle and fired upon Shinji. He took the rifle and bent it sideways so to direct the fire. He made the angel drop the gun and he got behind the angel and took the corrupted Eva's arms and held them behind it's back and proceeded to release on arm and to try to get Asuka's entry plug. The angel took out it's knife and drove it into unit-01.
"Ahh!" Shinji yelled and continued to try to retrieve the entry plug. He then took the angel's arm the one he was holding down and tore it off. And he took the other arm and held it down and finally he got Asuka's entry plug. The Eva went limp and it fell to the ground and the angel turned into LCL fluid. Shinji lowered the entry plug and Shinji got out of his Eva and went to once again open the super heated hatch on her entry plug.
"Asuka!" he cried. But she wasn't moving.
