Chapter 18: Pilot, Savior, And Miracle Child
NERV Hospital- Shinji's Room
I lay there, stroking Asuka's hair as she sleeps. She has had her head on my shoulder since I woke up. I've just been staring at her, thinking about what happened to get me in here. It is mostly a blur, I remember a gun, glass, and Asuka screaming. She always looked so peaceful when she was asleep, but right now, she looked like a goddess. Her steady warm breathing on my bare neck relaxed me.
"Thank you Asuka," I said aloud.
"Mmmm… Shin… ji…" she moaned in her sleep. It was so cute how she would always talk in her sleep.
"Just amazing, simply amazing." I can't deny that, this is one amazing girl.
"So are you, Shinji," I think I woke her up, "You saved me, and you deserve the praise."
"Nah, I just got shot. I didn't do anything." It was true.
"You don't remember, do you?" She still haven't moved her head, "You did save me. After he fired a shot, you kept on walking forward, purely on adrenaline. That show's how much you really care for me." She placed a soft kiss on my neck, which made me shiver.
"Really? But what about Sam? I betrayed you, that was unforgivable." I've come to believe it WAS my fault, I could have done something to avoid it."
"No, I asked Sam about it, she said that it was all her doing, she forced you," Yeah, but still…
"Can we just leave it at that? Try not to hold anything against her, please," I didn't want anymore conflict.
"Okay, I won't, but only because you asked," good.

NERV- One Week Later
"Shinji! Wake up! We need to go now!" I woke up to Asuka yelling in my ear, I woke up – not only to that – but a blasting alarm
"Not another one!" I yell, knowing that another sin has arrived.

5 Minutes Later
"Units 01, 02, and 05 are ready to launch! All Evas are now on the surface, kids, can you see the sin? It should be… sloth!" Wonder what it can do with a name like that.
"What is it going to do? Walk slowly in front of us? Really!" Asuka wondered the same thing, apparently.
"Asuka! Watch out, it's coming towards you!" I turned to her direction to see this huge, green monster. It walked on all fours, and had the shape of a turtle, but with a huge head. It's eyes were black, with little white spots in the middle of them. It seemed to have launched a missile-thing at her.
"Oh crap! Wait… that didn't even hurt… what was that supposed to do?" the rocket just disappeared when it hit her, no explosion, no harm. But it had to do something.
"Huh… the MAGI says that it was a direct hit, but I don't… Asuka! What's going on in there! Your heart rate is 85!" What was happening?
"Can't… breathe…" she gasped. Her Eva wasn't moving either, just standing in the same position it was in before it got hit.
"Get her out of there! Eject her plug, now!" Akagi commanded.
"Please… help…" she was breathing even slower now. The sin just stood it's ground, not moving an inch. In a couple of seconds, her plug goes flying out of the Eva, soaring many hundred feet.
"Nothing can be slower than death… sloth," we all jumped at the rasp voice bellowing throughout the city. It was the angel. "That wasn't aimed at her Eva, it was aimed at HER… she's as good as dead." That was enough for me to attack. I grabbed one of the SMGs available, while Sam pulled out her progressive knife.
"Misato! Make sure Asuka's okay, we'll take care of this thing!" we both lunged at it in unison, she landed on top of it's 'shell' while I was inches from it's face. "Eat lead you bastard!" I pull the trigger and empty my clip, when the smoke cleared I saw that it was gone, just an oval replaced it. "Should've seen this coming, fricken' turtle!" I screamed in frustration.
"S-2 mine being transported to your location, blow it to hell!" on of the NERV employees yelled.
"Nice! Kiss your ass good-bye!" Sam was really pumped! Think I'll let her do it. "Mine armed, haul ass Shinji!" I was right about her being agile; she ran twice the speed of my best! When we got a pretty good distance, the mine blew up.
"Good one! Ah, crap! Asuka! Are you okay!" I almost forgot about her!
"Asuka's fine, but so is the sin! Sam, we're giving you another S-2 mine, try again, the MAGI estimates the sin losing over half of its health." Sam ran over to the mine, and put it on Sloth's back, "Give me three more!" Damn! She was serious! They did so and she put them all on the sin… and ran like hell! This thing had enough explosives on it to take out the whole city!
"Duck!" she ran to the ground and awaited the explosion, it came, and was loud as HELL! Sloth was killed, and the effects on Asuka went away.

NERV Hospital- 9:00 PM
"We've been spending a lot of time in here lately, huh? Hope this isn't a sign of things to come," I said as I sat next to Asuka's bed.
"I don't know why I'm in here, I feel fine!" We always had check-ups after battles, and hers obviously wasn't too good.
"It'll be safer if you do, just stay the night, and you'll be out in the morning. Tell you what, in the morning, I promise to carry you to your room, how about that?" I knew she loved to be carried, so I tried to make her a deal.
"Promise? Fine, I'll stay, but so are you!" I was going to anyway!
"Promise. I won't leave, your heinous!" this brought a smile to her face, but she still gave me a light hit.
Omake-

"That's master to you… now drop em' and smile…" Asuka said hungrily.
A/N- Five sins left! Which one will be next? How will it affect the pilots? Find out in the next chapter; Another Asuka, until then keep on keepin' on!
