Chapter 6

A/N: So what happens next?

She saw that Shinji had awoken and she turned a bit red, "Oh, you're awake, sorry."

"It's ok, its nice to know that you care for me. What am I saying, of course you care for me, you are my friend!"

She forced a smile, "yeah, I guess so. How are you feeling?"

"I'm fine thank you, what just happened?"

"You had a seizure."

"What!" he said sitting up, but he grabbed his arm in pain and lay back down. He noticed that he was wearing bandages there.

"Whoa," he said looking at it. But then his head started spinning and he had more flash backs, it was a part of the third impact and other battles.

Asuka looked at him in surprise as he grasped his arm and screaming, she began to cry again when she saw that his bandages suddenly turned red.

"Shinji!"

He stopped and breathed heavily, "Sorry to worry you. At least this is just temporary right?"

She looked down and she knew that it was going to happen for the rest of his 3-5 months, but she couldn't tell him, "Yeah, it'll go away."

"That's good, I'm tired of making you worry."

"It's ok," she lied, she couldn't stand him in pain, it broke her heart further.

He stayed in the hospital for four weeks, and she visit him every time. Everytime she came she tried to tell him, but he talked of other things, and it eventually led to him saying that he hopes he'll get out and that he will get better again which left her speechless.

For the last day he stayd there, she remained home crying in her room, "I have to tell him, its already been one month. I need to tell him how I feel, maybe tonight…"

She planned to tell him just befor they went to sleep. When he returned his arm was stiched and he was happy.

"Hey."

"Heyt Asuka, I guess this'll go away."

"I guess so," she said lying, she knew that that was only temporary.

So as they lay in his bed she stuttered, "Shinji, I…I l-l."

But she was interrupted by his heavy breathing, she was extremely worried again, "Shinji are you ok?"

He smiled at her with the sweat falling down his face, "Nothing, I'm just tired, they took tests on me again at Nerv. I wasn't told anything so I guess I'm getting better."

She frowned at the test thing. Nothing said to him? Something must have happened, so she planned to ask Misato later.

"What were you saying before Asuka?" he asked wiping his forehead of sweat. He then closed his eyes and slowly opened them.

Asuka sighed seeing that he was tired, "Nothing…You seem so tired. Go to sleep, don't worry about me. Goodnight Shinji-kun."

Later she woke up and walked to the kitchen and saw Misato crying with more beer, "What happened at his tests?"

She sniffled and looked at Asuka, "It's horrible, he's been losing too much blood, he's going to die within the next two weeks."

Asuka froze, "No…" she fell to her knees again, "It's too soon… But the stitches, they must stop the bleeding right?"

"No, they stitched it, but with a scar like that, especially from the third impact, and the thing in his brain, it will still bleed."

"Is that why one time his arm just suddenly bleed when he screams and clutches his head?"

"I guess so…" she offered Asuka to sit and she did and they cried together.
