The Ultimate Angel: Changing Time Itself

Chapter 3: Breaking the Unbreakable

Disclaimer: I own nothing, because if i did i would have to be able to write almost flawlessly.

A/N: Ah yes, people seem to really be wondering how Asuka will take this...hehe even though it's rather obvious. But how will this affect things? Will Misato grow feelings for Shinji? Will this drive Asuka closer to the Truth? What about little Shinji? Will his spine grow? Well...on with the story!

For once in her life Misato was actually waking up early, with a groan she rolled over her head throbbing as she tried to get more sleep. Finally realizing it wasn't going to happen she rolled over again against a odd warmth 'hm..Oh god, please tell me i didn't take a guy home last night...'

Taking a deep breath she slowly opened her eyes, seeing the worst thing she possibly could, practically leaping to the other end of the bed she stared at the sleeping boy in her bed 'I slept with Shinji! Oh god...oh god...stupid, stupid, stupid stupid...i am never drinking again!'

She had no idea how to handle the situation right now, and quietly moved over the young boy to get dressed, not like she could do much else..she didn't want to face Shinji. 'if i can remember correctly..he was pretty good though...AH! Stop that...bad Misato...'

Pulling on her clothes she sighed slightly looking at the boy sadly for a moment 'well...for once in my life..i am going to work early...maybe i can talk to someone there about this..'

Leaving the room quietly she slipped out the door without noticing the sleepy Asuka emerge from her room confused at the early awoken Misato. Groaning Asuka figured she was up really late and suddenly grew rather mad at Shinji for not waking her.

Charging into his room she glared towards the bed "SHINJI WHY-..shi...nji?" Looking at his clock she blinked "Ok...i'm not late...but wheres Shinji? Oh god maybe he's hurt, i shouldn't have gone with Kaji..dammit!"

Deciding to be sure before rushing off to call in the army in search of him she checked most of the house, stopping at Misato's door she sighed. 'Well...why would he be in here? I mean..unless...Yeah right!' Opening the door slowly she saw an undressed Shinji bundled up in Misato's sheets.

Rage quickly built up inside Asuka, and reason for it not even Asuka knew, of course she could come up with plenty of excuses for it "Shinji wake your ass up right now!" the once peacefully sleeping Shinji fell out of the bed with a thud, groaning as he looked up.

Sleepily looking from the out-for-blood Asuka and the contents of the room he remembered what happened the night before, almost instantly his entire face was plastered with a blush. "A-asuka i can explain!"

Balling up her fists she glared at him "Explain what! The fact that you slept with Misato! How could you? Get dressed!" Walking out of the room she slammed the door with a lot more force then it actually needed causing it to quiver slightly in it's place.

Quickly jumping up Shinji pulled his cloths on almost instantly 'oh god..i am so dead, Asuka is going to kill me..i am going to walk out there and she will have a knife' Leaving the room Asuka didn't have a knife, but she still had her temper which was just as bad. Almost instantly he was slapped across the face, which the mark was hardly noticed through his blushing.

The anger in Asuka's eyes could have made anyone scared, Shinji rubbed the hand print softly as she yelled. "How dare you! What was she drunk? How could you do this to me?"

Blinking Shinji backed up slightly in fear of being hit again "T-to you? What are you talking about...why do care if i slept with her anyway?" Balling up her fist Asuka was dieing to hit him...she was really hating this backbone thing. "You have never cared about me!"

In frustration Asuka hit Shinji with force sending him to the floor with a bleeding lip "That's right i don't! I hate you! I hate you and Misato!" Storming off to her room she left are friendly Shinji laying on the floor.

Getting ready with school Asuka suddenly felt depressed, both because of Shinji's actions and for hitting him..but she still didn't understand why this happened. Shaking her head she left for school without a second word to Shinji, who had just finished getting ready.

Oct 21

Although things would appear to be normal at first glance between the trio, things were very tense. Misato and Shinji barely exchanged words to embarrassed about their actions to confront the other. Asuka simply ignored Shinji except for a few insults here and there, and the same went for Misato since to her she was partially to blame.

The group left the apartment at different times but all went to the same place, NERV home of the eva's. Shinji was glad for a synchronization test since he was constantly bombarded with questions in school, mainly about his bruised lip.

Misato sighed slightly from the office of Ritsuko, sitting on her desk taking a sip from her cup. "So how did they do..?"

Studying the information in front of her she sighed slightly leaning back in her chair "Well, Rei's score is up...but...Asuka's and Shinji's went down a bit...nothing to be concerned with yet." Maya blinked looking over her shoulder, true they hadn't gone down to much but it usually represented a pattern.

With a slow nod Misato stared into the contents of her cup for a moment "Hey Ritsuko...How many years do you think two people can be apart before it becomes...well wrong.." Stiffening slightly her blond friend looked up at her with a slight bit of nervousness.

"Why...Why do you ask...?" Shaking her head slightly Misato smiled "Well...um..i was just curious you know?" Smiling slightly Maya thought for a moment "Oh..i dunno...10 years maybe?" Noticing the saddened look that passed of Misato she regretted her answer.

Shifting in her seat Ritsuko calmed herself "So is this guy younger or older then you?" At her friends shocked look she figured she hit the spot by guessing it involved her.

Sighing in defeat Misato leaned back slightly "He's younger..." She never seemed to get a lie past Ritsuko it seemed..."So by how many years!" this time it was Maya who had asked her a question and at Misato's uncomfortable gaze she sighed "Oh come on tell us!"

Groaning in frustration she nodded slightly "15 years..." After a fast calculation and a logical guess Ritusko's gaze became oddly serious "Shinji..." When the Purple haired woman looked down she sighed "Misato you always get into these messes! Ugh...Well what happened"

Reluctantly the Operations director began explaining the events 2 days earlier.

-down by the eva's-

Emerging from his pod Shinji sighed slightly, he really couldn't stand how much the liquid smelled of blood, cringing in disgust he saw Asuka emerge. She seemed to glow for a moment leaving Shinji's thoughts so cause him to blush, and she did look rather cute in that eva suit.

Noticing Shinji's staring Asuka glared throwing back her fiery red hair "What are you staring at!" Shaking his head Shinji turned to go but was almost instantly confronted by Rei.

Staring at her for several moments with a confused look she finally spoke "May i have a moment of your time?" Her voice was as plain as ever, and rather curious at why Rei of all people needed to see him he followed her, still dripping wet.

Before he could exchange even a few words with Rei his arm was grabbed by an Angry Asuka who dragged him off. "Come on Third Child! Misato's driving us home!" Groaning Shinji tried to get away but she seemed intent on not leaving him alone with another girl...for whatever reason.

Driving home in silence they arrived at the apartment building. Almost as soon as they got inside they were confronted by there guardian. "Ok you two, your school grades have been slipping again so get to studying!"

Shinji simply sat down to do his homework while Asuka continued to protest "What's the point! After every things over i'm going to be a living hero! I wont need a job!" Glaring at her Misato forced her to sit dropping her books in front of her "No arguing!"

Groaning Asuka seemed to stare mindlessly at the same sentence over and over, she just couldn't get it! When she heard a book close she peeked over at Shinji who seemed to be done. 'how dare he! I bet he's just trying to show me up again! Well I'll make him do my work to then! Wait..with that new spine of his he will probably throw the books back in my face...I'll try something else...'

Grinning evilly Asuka reached her hand over to Shinji's gently placing it on his she smiled "Oh Shinji dear..." Trailing her fingers gently on his hand She instantly saw the blush as he looked up at her. "Do you think you could...help me with my work?"

Swallowing the lump in his throat he gave her a slow nod, standing slowly he moved behind her, leaning over her slightly to look at where she was. Without realizing it Asuka herself blushed, but hated herself for it once she found out.

For almost an hour Shinji worked with her to get the answers down on paper, finally when they were done she slammed the book closed with a triumphant grin. "Aha! I knew I'd get it!" She smiled slightly when Shinji gave her a small clap. Leaning close to him she smiled "Thank you...so much" When she was close enough she raised her hand and flicked his forehead "Sucker"

Walking away to her room she had a huge grin plastered to her face, once again she got what she wanted, although she didn't like how she was reacting to him.

Sighing slightly Shinji stretched letting out a small yawn, even though she once again smacked around his feelings it was rather nice to be so close to her for so long...even if she was only doing it go get her work done.

Beginning dinner Shinji turned in early, after giving a call out that it was on the table. Walking into the room Misato grabbed her usual bear plopping into her eat, her purple hair in a pony tail "hey wheres Shinji...?"

Shrugging slightly Asuka sighed "I think he went to bed early" they ate in relative silence until Asuka spoke up "I can't believe you slept with Shinji.." Although still upset she had at least started talking to them again.

Groaning Misato leaned back in her chair "Look it was an accident! Will you leave it alone!" She practically fell out of her chair at the next question, she never expected it. "Was he good...?"

Almost emptying her beer onto the table she gulped it quickly "E-excuse me?" with a small blush on her cheeks Asuka looked up at her "was...he good...?" She only received a reluctant nod before they both turned in for the night.

Groaning Asuka curled up in her bed 'why did...why did i ask her that! I couldn't have been thinking straight..this just isn't right. Do i have feelings for him..no i can't!' She was in complete denial, and she knew it. But she was in denial about being in denial.(confused?)

Unable to get to sleep she sighed slightly, thoughts going from her mother, to Kaji...and then finally to Shinji. Raising from her bed she sighed slightly 'i'm going to hate myself for this in the morning...'

Quietly opening up her door she made sure Misato was in bed, slowly approaching Shinji's room. Peeking in she smiled slightly, he was rather cute when he slept...and once again with that player of his. striding into his room she took a deep breath, crawling under the sheets.

It was soon after she fell asleep laying against the boy, she felt oddly content there.

A/N: Oh! Look at that! What did Rei want to talk about? What will Shinji think about waking up next to the object of his desires? Should there be a Rei&Shinji romance also? So many questions and only one can be answered by you my reviewers! Once again ideas for the story accepted.
