Chapter 16: Leaving

"You… I… hate… you…" I wake up to see Asuka standing next to the couch where I was sleeping.

"Asuka! I…" she instantly punched me across the face.

"Just… don't… say anything." She must have seen the camera's video.

"Asuka… please, listen," I was once again greeted with a swift punch.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS!" she holds the tape in her hand. "How could you kiss that American slut! Was that kiss we shared meaningless? Was I the only one that felt like we would be together for the rest of our lives? Why did you betray my trust? Why did you pretend to like me? Why… did you…" she falls to her knees crying. I get up and kneel next to her, trying my best to hug her. "GET OFF! Don't touch me! Leave me alone! Just… get away from me," I backed off.

"Asuka, I didn't want to kiss her, if you saw the tape then you saw what happened!" she looked up at me.

"Oh, I saw it! You loved the hell out if it! I gave you everything I had to offer, my love, my soul… my body… and you repay me with this. Please… just stay out of my life. I didn't want to be hurt, but I trusted you to the extent of being the first person I loved. I knew that it was a mistake… I knew you were a mistake!" she ran off after that. This time, I discreetly followed her.

Tokyo-3 Streets- One Hour Later

Asuka has been wandering the streets for an hour now. She has been crying as she walks, I want nothing more then to go over and comfort her, but I can't. I was just following her to make sure she was safe. Every now and then a person would walk up to her and ask if she's okay, she would just keep on walking past them. I saw a man start to talk to her at one point. She spoke back, and to my surprise, she started to give a little giggle. With that, she followed him as he walked away. This worried me, didn't she remember what happened last time she did this? She is not in a good state of mind, I need to watch over her. They eventually get to a rusty looking house. It was a one-story house that was in shambles. He led her inside and he went in after her. I quickly went to the door and listened in. I heard his voice talking, but I couldn't understand what he was talking about. Then I heard her gasp, that was my cue to come in. Damn! The door was locked, I had to find another way in…

"Please… don't do that…" I heard Asuka say, I found a window, but it was too dirty to see through. "Stop…" it had bars on it, so I walked around the house trying to find a way in. "Uh! Don't…" I found a basement window that I could get in through. I got a rock to break it with and did so as quiet as possible. Once I was in, I could hear them better, "Don't touch me there… Uh!" I picked up one of the glass shards, tore off a piece of cloth from my shirt and made a handle of it. I hoped that I wouldn't need to use it, but I would if it came to it.

"Come on, baby, I know you want it… here have another hit…" Another? Please don't be doing what I think your doing Asuka! I can hear someone breathing heavy then a cough soon follows.

"There… can I please go no- Uh! Stop! Ah!" I start to run now, when I get up the stairs, I see a beat-up couch with two heads popping up above it. Soon, the man's head get's closer to her head, and she leans back. "No! Leave… me… alone…" I walked over to the edge of it and looked over the back of the couch.

"Who the hell are you!" the man said. I saw him lying on top of her with her blouse undone.

"Get… off… of her!" I take out the home-made knife and show it to him, "GET OFF!" I can't hide my anger. When he sees this, he jumps off of her and reaches to the back of his pants. He then pulls out a 9mm.

"Hey! Back off!" he yells, "She's mine!" that was it; I lunge forward and go for him. I then hear a loud bang and Asuka screaming. The pain in my left arm is unbearable.

"AAHHH!" I yell in pain, but I still run forward, trying to get to him. Three more loud bangs catch my attention. I don't feel the first two, but I do feel the third. A sharp pain in my stomach stops me. I can't even scream the pain is so bad, I can't breathe either. Soon, I black out. Right before I do, though, I hear the voice of the woman I love.

"Shinji!" was the last thing I hear.

NERV Hospital

I still can't see, but I have come too. I can't feel anything, not even myself breathing.

"What the hell do you mean it's too late! You're the doctor, you save him! Get your hands off me! You save him right now! Let me go! Shinji!" I can barley hear Asuka yelling, it sounds like she's sobbing.

"Asuka… I'm sorry. There's nothing I can do… he's not going to wake up. It'll be a miracle if he'll live through the night." I recognize that voice, it was Dr. Akagi.

"Please! Save him! Do whatever you need to! Please… save… save Shinji!" she was screaming her head off, I still can't move or talk. "SHINJI!"

"Asuka! Enough! He' gone… you can't change that… there's nothing you could have done!" It was Misato. It sounded like she was crying too. Was I dead? Did I really die back there? No, I still have more to do!

"Shut-up! Don't say that! Shinji's not dead! Shinji's… not… dead!" Please… no… I don't want to die.

"What happened to Shinji? Where is he? Let me see him!" It was Sam, now she's in the room.

"YOU! This is all your fault! I'll kill you!" I heard Asuka tackle Sam, and Sam was screaming.

"Asuka! Get off of her!" Misato yelled, this can't be happening.

"Get me some sedative in here now!" I heard a large being walk into the small room and grab Asuka.

"Don't touch me! What are you doing! You son of a bitch! Sam! All… your…" then I can hear her collapsing. Then someone puts her up on a chair.

"Is Shinji really gone?" Sam asked with a hurt voice.

"Technically, no, but he is comatose. The bullet punctured his liver, small intestine, and a small portion of his lung. It could not have possibly been at a worse angle, truthfully, it will be a miracle if he makes it through the next hour. We have him on life support, a heart pacer, and a nutrition monitor." That didn't sound good.

"Please, is there anything we can do?" Misato asked, practically begging Akagi.

"No. Nothing at all any of us can do, actually. All we can do at this point is wait." Well, thanks a lot.

"Shinji…" I heard Sam say. Did she really care about me?

"Let's leave him for now. He needs to get away from the yelling." I hear everyone leave. 'No! Don't leave me! I don't want to die alone! Please!' I thought, but couldn't say. But they were gone.

"Shin… ji…" Was Asuka still here? She was asleep next to my bed. I'm glad she was here, definitely the person I would want to die next to. 'I'm glad I got to hear you voice, Asuka…'. I felt at peace, and let the darkness come.
