What could have happened???
Hello out there! First of all I want to apologise for any possible fault or bug in my story regarding the original Neo Genesis Evangelion story. You see, it's my first Evangelion fanfic and I'm not sure how it will look for you.
Story Outline
Hold you're tissues at ready, cause I'm a hopeless romantic maniac, who still believes in love on first sight. So in my little story I will replay Shinji's first encounter with our beloved Soryhu Asuka Langley ;-). With a few ma-jor differences.
First of all is Shinji not 100% spineless, only about 40% to 60% of all the time. Second is Asuka not such an egomaniac. Don't get me wrong; she's still an emotional tank, but as you will see, she can although drop her barriers and be a very "normal" girl with a certain EVA-Pilot.
Location: NERV Headquarter, Pilot Briefing Room
Misato Katsuragi had summoned Rei and Shinji, to give them some information's about the soon to arrive sec-ond child Soryhu Asuka Langley.
"As you can see is Asuka a very good fighter in close combat situations. At the end of her training in Germany her instructors were beaten one after another by her."
*Sounds like a really tough girl. Mmh, we could use a good fighter in our team. * Shinji thought.
"Say Misato, when will this Soryhu arrive here finally?" Shinji asked his friend and guardian. He noticed that before Misato actually answered him, she give him a close look with a slight sparkle in her eye's. That disturbed him a little. No, knowing her usual behaviour, it gave him a bad feeling in his stomach.
"Oh, my little Shinji is anxious to meet our Asuka. How sweet. Do you have a crush on her by just seeing her on a tape?"
"Misato!" Shinji nearly cried out. "It's nothing like that. I just wanted to know it, that's all," Silently he had to admit to himself, that he felt a strange feeling develop in his chest and he noticed that his eye's were magically pulled to the girl on the monitor.
"Shinji you are just so much fun to tease with such things. Back to business now. With no delay the carrier battle group with Evangelion Unit-02 should arrive today around 3PM. If you like, you and Rei could come with me to pick our new pilot up."
"I have a synchronisation test scheduled for 2:30PM Major. So I must refuse." Rei said in her usual emotionless voice.
"Misato, I have school today, remember? Mmh, maybe I should close your little yebiuse stock away for awhile." Shinji had a grin on his face during the last sentence.
"Don't you dare to touch the fridge Mr. Ikari or you have to live with me cooking al your meals for the rest of the month."
Even for Shinji who had lived now for quite a period of time with Misato, it was really hard to tell if she was joking or dead serious about that threat.
"So ... Sorry Misato. I just wanted to tease you a little bit for yours earlier."
"Ha! Got you Shinji. You have kitchen duty today and don't think I want to cook on my free evenings for the next month." Misato was now laughing.
*Sometimes she has a really weird sense of humour. *
"OK Misato. If you don't mind I leave now for school. See you than tonight."
Before Shinji could leave, Misato stopped him. "Shinji, Asuka and I know us from my assignment to Germany. I have invited her to stay with us if you don't mind."
"It's OK with me Misato. So, this Asuka will come with you tonight I assume?"
"Correct Shinji, so could you please cook something nice for us and prepare the second guest room for her?"
"Hai, Misato-san."
With said cleared, Shinji headed for the nearest elevator the Geofront and to attend another boring time at school. As usual now, his two friends Toji and Kensuke were joking around while Kensuke, who had hacked again into the computer of his father, tried to get more info about the new Pilot of EVA-02 out of Shinji. He even tried to skip classes to see the arrival of the carrier group and the new Evangelion, but because of Hikari who had listen to the trio he had now to perform various duties around the school as punishment.
After school Shinji went to the shops, to purchase some food for tonight. He had thought the whole day about what he should cook for the new arrival. Finally he had come to the decision, that he would prepare a traditional Japanese Sushi dinner, to greet Asuka in Japan.
Location: Katsuragi Residence Time: 7PM
Shinji stood in the kitchen preparing the Sushi for dinner. Normally he really enjoyed cooking for Misato, but today his mind was partly absent.
*I wonder what kind of girl this Asuka is. She looked quite attractive on the tape Misato showed us. Mmh, cute as she is, she must have a boyfriend back in Germany. * Shaking his head he tried to clear his mind from such kind of thoughts.
"Cut it out Shinji, nothing like that will ever happen. She ..."
"Hey Shinji, what will not happen?" An amused looking Misato asked while leaning in the doorway to the kitchen.
"Misato? What are you doing here? It's way to early for you to come home.
"Oh Shinji. I'm really hurt." Misato said in a light saddened voice. "Haven't you missed your beautiful guard-ian?"
Now Shinji turned bright red and looked down at the Sushi he currently was preparing. "Mi ... Misato ... it's no ... nothing like that." He stammered
Misato was leaning at the doorway for support, because she was hard laughing. "See, I told you it's really funny to tease my Shinji-kun." She said over her left shoulder to someone in the living room.
"Yeah, he sounds really funny." A young female voice replied.
Leaving his place at the kitchen table Shinji went to the living room, to see whom the person was. He was ready for the shock of his life.
There, in the middle of the room, stood a stunning beautiful red haired girl, with the bluest eye's Shinji had ever seen. Suddenly he felt his mouth went dry and he felt his hands trembling slightly. The simple look at Soryhu Asuka Langley had provoked that kind of reaction of his body. It took a lot of his willpower to prevent fainting there at the moment. Luckily for him none of the girls seemed to notice that.
½ hour earlier Location: Misatos car Destination: Katsuragi Residence
Asuka had a nice reunion with her old time friend Misato at the NERV headquarter. After a quick introducing with the rest of the command staff, the two of them were now driving to Misatos apartment.
Asuka who was used to a high speed drive from Germany never moved her eyelids while Misato abused nearly every traffic rule of Japan. Instead, they had a nice conversation about the main topic nearly every typical girl talk. B O Y ' S!!!!!!!
"So Asuka, have you left heart behind you, after you left Germany?" Misato asked the young woman with a light teasing in her voice.
"No Misato, I haven't left a broken heart in Germany. The training to pilot my wonderful Unit-02 was all what interested me during the days. I had simply no time for such things like a boyfriend."
"What a waist for such a beauty Asuka."
"Hey don't make me laugh. I know I'm quite a sight a I have noticed the look's of the boys, but like I said I'm not interested in such things."
"If you say so Asuka. Then you won't mind living with a cute boy?"
"Misato, what do you mean with 'living with a cute boy'? I thought I would live with you at your place. Do you live with your boyfriend or what?"
It was now Misatos turn to be at a loss of words. Luckily for her she recovered quickly. "It's nothing like that Asuka. I'm living together with Shinji Ikari the third child and pilot of Unit-01 because I'm his guardian."
"His guardian? Is this Shinji an orphan or why are you his guardian ... " Asuka stopped talking when she noticed the sadness in Misatos eye's.
"Shinji had a hard life Asuka. The last month's were a personal hell for him. I can't tell you everything only give you a little info about Shinji. He was forced into battle without training. His own father used him for his plans. During his first fight his EVA went berserk and he suffered from this experience. He was on the brink of suicide once and his emotions are a mess. I really hope that your influence could light up his life, because up to now he had only suffered."
"I'm sorry Misato. I shouldn't have asked you about those things. Obvious you care deeply for this Shinji."
Misatos face softened on that. Her eyes had now that famous far away look. Asuka couldn't help, but she had to laugh at that sight. Misato turned bright red and tried to explain herself. "No Asuka, it's not like I'm in love with Shinji. He is way to young for me. I feel for him more like a big sister."
"Oh Misato you're still so much fun to tease. I would never, even in my wildest dreams, think something like that about you."
"So, you like teasing people? Then you will like my Shinji-kun, he's so easy to embarrass, so please be gently with him. OK?"
"We will see Misato." Now Asuka had a far away look in her eyes. "We will see."
Present time; Location: Katsuragi Residence - Living Room
"Yeah, he sounds really funny." Asuka replied to Misato, while she looked around in the apartment to get a feel-ing for her new home. Finally she had studied the living room ad was now turning toward the kitchen to talk again with Misato. The sentence she was ready to ask died on her lips, when she looked toward the kitchen.
There in the doorway stood a boy, obviously of her age, who took her breath away. He had deep black hair, a soft face and the most caring eyes Asuka had ever seen in her life. She felt her mouth went dry, a feeling that activated her emotional self defence system.
"So, you're that famous third child. You really don't look that impressive like my instructors told me."
AN= Just imagine Asuka with her usual scolding face.
Shinji felt his face turn red and he quickly lowered his head to look down at the ground. "I'm sorry Miss ... Miss Langley I suppose."
'What's his problem? He looks like he had taken me seriously, but I was just teasing him a little. Oh my, Misato was right. This Shinji really need to be cheered up. Your turn now Asuka, clear that mistake at once.' Asuka stepped closer to Shinji and reached out for his hand to apologise.
AN= I know, the real Asuka would never do such a thing, but this is my point of view, so please excuse me.
"I'm sorry Shinji. I didn't meant to be mean with you. Believe me, I'm really sorry." During her sentence Asuka had reached out to took Shinji's left hand. When she took is hand into hers, she felt an energy pulse through her body in a way she never had felt in her entire life before.
Unnoticed by Asuka, Shinji felt exactly the same thing happen with him. He couldn't place the feeling right away, but he was sure that he somewhere before had felt in a similar way.
The moment was interrupted by the appearance of Misato in the kitchen doorway. "Hey you two lovebirds. If you don't mind I'm a little bit hungry and our beloved Shinji had prepared quite a dinner for us. So let's eat."
That brought the attention of the two EVA-Pilots back to reality. Both took of toward the kitchen, each lost in the turmoil of their minds and feelings.
The Dinner went quite good. Like we all know is Shinji now a really good cook, his Sushi hit to 100% the taste of the lady's and he felt real good when he could see the approving expressions in the faces of Asuka and Mi-sato. After the dinner was finished , he ordered the girls out of the kitchen area so that he could start to clean up the dishes.
He had just started to clean the plates, when he saw in the corner of his left eye the kitchen towel being removed and used the already cleaned dishes.
He turned around, because he thought that it was Misato, to tell her that he would do it, but he was at a loss of words when he saw Asuka beside him drying the washed pieces. After a few seconds he gained enough compo-sure to stammer:
"Y ... You ... do ... don't ha ... have to th ... that Asuka."
Asuka just looked at him for a moment, then she returned her attention to the task at hand. "You're wrong Shinji. I have to do it, 'cause Misato won and now ..." She stopped talking after Shinji burst out in laughter. "What's so funny third child?" She demanded angrily.
Shinji had to fight real hard to stop laughing before he was able to reply, "Misato had done it again. I can't be-lieve it. Let me guess, she forced you into a little game to divide the chores between you two, right?"
"Ye ... Yes, Shinji but how do you know that?"
"She had done exactly the same thing with me after I moved into her apartment. Looks like we are both trapped in the housework now uh?"
"Misato, you're such a lousy cheater. I can't believe, that you have tricked me with your silly game!" Asuka shouted at Misato who was sitting in the living room with her usual evening beer.
"Oh Asuka. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Don't you remember your little trick back in Germany?" Misatos voice came teasingly out of the living room.
"Damn. I have totally forgotten that, but brace yourself Misato, I'm going to kill you later." Asuka replied with a wolfish grin on her face witch made Shinji a little bit uncomfortable until he saw the little sprinkle in Asuka's eyes.
'Asuka has an interesting taste of humour. The future should be very interesting from now on.'
The rest of the evening went very well. The now three roommates watched TV and exchanged the latest gossip from Germany and Japan. Asuka was very surprised to hear that Shinji was never really trained to be an EVA-Pilot, but that on the other hand he already had defeated three angels.
Two of them although single handed and the latest with the help of Ayanami Rei, the first child. While Shinji answered Asukas questions about his battles, Asuka could clearly see his twisted emotions in his eyes.
'Misato was right. Shinji had seen to much in his life up to now. Maybe the two of us could cheer him up a bit in the future.'
Around 11PM the group decided it would be good to catch some sleep. Misato had already said her goodbye and vanished into her bedroom. Shinji stood now with Asuka in front of her room. He wanted to tell her a quick 'Good night', but it came out a little different than he had planned to say.
"Sweet dreams Asuka-chan."
"You too Shinji." With that said she leaned closer and gave him a peek on his cheek.
After Asuka had entered her room, Shinji stood several moments in front of her door, unable to move. Never before had one give him a peek on his cheek, not even Misato who he considered a close friend. When he gained enough control over his body to move, he went to his bedroom. He had the feeling, that he wouldn't get much sleep, to many things whirled around in his mind and he knew that, for most of them, he wouldn't find a solu-tion.
At the other side of the wall Asuka had although a little problem that kept her from sleeping. In her case, she know quite well what was disturbing her. The feelings she felt in her chest rising for Ikari Shinji.
'He's so kind and sweet ... I think I like him.'
Location: Kitchen-Katsuragi Residence; Time: 7AM
It looked like every morning in the Katsuragi Residence. Shinji was preparing breakfast and Misato was sitting at the table with her usual morning can of beer. The only out of the ordinary thing was the sound of a running shower in the background. It was the new arrival at their household, Soryhu Asuka Langley, the designated pilot of Evangelion Unit-02.
"Say Misato." Shinji said while preparing the breakfast. "What's on your and Asukas agenda for today?"
"Well Shinji, Asuka has an activation test with her Unit-02, a sync-test afterwards and finally a full health check. If everything went smoothly, she should be finished with her tests to join you at school during your lunch break."
"So I better prepare a second lunch box for Asuka, just in case."
"You don't have to do that Shinji. She will only join you at school, if nothing went wrong during her tests."
A soft laugh came from the direction of the bathroom. "Nothing will goes wrong with my tests Misato. I'm the great Soryhu Asuka Langley, pilot of EVA Unit-02 and the defter of the sixth angel."
After a few seconds Shinji started to laugh quietly. Misato noticed that of course and shoot him a curious glance. Shinji tried his best to calm down, so that he could answer Misato, but it still took a few moments.
"I just had to think Misato, that her ego must be as nearly as big as her mighty Uni-02." Shinji said, while fight-ing the urge to laugh out loud.
First Misato couldn't think about anything, but the joyful expression on Shinji's face. She had see him only once with such a smile on his face. It made her recognise that he was a really handsome guy when he was happy. Regardless, after his words had registered in her brain, the only thing that she could do was to start laughing as well.
Asuka, however, was fuming in the bathroom. 'I bet they are laughing over me.' She pouted. 'Mmh, I have to admit, Shinji has a nice voice when he's laughing. I begin to wonder if he has a girlfriend. Handsome as he is, he definitely must have one, perhaps that Rei. After all she had risked her life for him against the fifth angel ... but he's worth fighting for."
Location: School Yard; Time: ¼ of lunch break
In a secluded corner of the school yard Shinji was having lunch with his two friends Toji and Kensuke. They had asked him why he had a second lunch box with him today and when he told them that it was for the new EVA-Pilot, the two of them bombarded him with questions. He was starting to answer some of the questions, when a shadow felt in front of the group. Looking up he was greeted by the sight of Asuka dressed in a formal school uniform. She had a beautiful smile on her face when she started talking to him.
"So handsome! Happy to see me again?" She asked in a seductive voice.
Actually was Shinji really happy to see her, so he answered her in the same stile, not noticing the blank looks of his friends.
"Of course sweety." That brought him more disbelieving looks of his friends. "I guess that your tests went well."
Asuka was now in a flirting mode, so she decided to take a step forward, to test Shinji on his response.
"Yeah, I finished them as fast as I could manage them, because I couldn't wait so see my cute roommate again!"
A loud chrashing sound could be heard and when Shinji looked at his side he could see his friends lying on the ground gaping for air like a fish on the land. Smiling he turned his head to face Asuka again.
"Is that so? Or were you just looking for your lunch box, 'cause your hungry my dear Asuka?"
After that, the two teens burst out laughing, unable to control it any longer. It took them a while to quite down and after a quick first aid for Toji and Kensuke, who where still lying on the ground the two EVA pilots headed for a quite spot to eat their lunch.
For every normal person who would have looked at them it would have looked like any other pair of teeny's sharing their lunch. Only those who knew the normal behaviour of Ikari Shinji would have noticed it. Shinji was enjoying his lunch with Asuka. Normally he would be as quite as a fish when he was near a cute girl, but today he was having a normal conversation with a girl every normal guy in town would describe as beautiful, perfect and so on. More than one guy gave them a look that said he would kill to be in the place of Ikari Shinji right now.
Lunch time was nearly over when suddenly Shinji remembered to ask Asuka something. "Asuka, did Misato told you witch class you should attend?"
"She said something like A2 or 2A to me Shinji. Do you know where I must go for that class?"
Shinji was now almost grinning from ear to ear. "As a matter of fact I knew exactly were you must go, because that's although my class."
"That's great. So we're in the same class. What's about the first?"
"The first'? Oh, you mean Rei? Actually she's in the same class as we, but I think she attends only because she is ordered to come. To say the truth I think she never actually listen to the lectures."
"Tell me Shinji, is she ... err ... well ... I know it isn't really ... well ... is she your girlfriend?"
"My girlfriend?" Shinji asked in stunned disbelief.
"Sorry for asking. I know I shouldn't have. How embarrassing."
"It's OK Asuka and, no, I don't have a girlfriend."
"You haven't? You're joking, right? A cute guy like you MUST have a girlfriend!"
"Asuka, have you ever really looked at me? Why would any girl want to be my girlfriend?"
"Are you now totally out of your mind Shinji? How can you say something like that? You're such a cute boy and from what I can tell you have your heart at the right place, any girl with actually a brain should be jumping to be your girlfriend. Not to tell, that you are the famous pilot of EVA Unit-01."
That last part made Shinji blush redder as a tomato. His face looked now as he was ready to explode at any mo-ment. That embarrassed look made Asuka reach for his hands to comfort him. When she touched him, she felt again, like yesterday, some kind of energy pulsing trough her body.
'This feeling. What is it?' Asuka asked herself. 'Could it mean, that I have feelings for him? But, does he feel the same way? Brace yourself Asuka, theirs only one way to find out!'
Shinji on the other hand had quite similar thoughts running through his brain. 'Her touch feels so good. What kind of feeling is that? Why can't I look away from her face? Just being with her, knowing that she's right beside me makes me feel better. Could it be ... ? No, no way! It can't be love! But if it's not love what is it instead? I'm so confused!' Bringing himself back to reality he found himself looking into Asukas blue eyes who where look-ing although right into his. She had a serious look in them.
"Shinji. I would like us to be 100% honest to each other now."
"What do you mean with hones? Asuka I would never ever lie to you." Shinji said, a little bit hurt that Asuka even considered him lying to her.
"I'm sorry Shinji. I didn't meant to imply you could be lying to me. I just wanted to ask you something impor-tant to me."
"You can ask me anything you want Asuka. I will answer you everything what you will ask me."
Taking a deep breath, she was to start talking when suddenly the sound of the emergency sirens filled the air while at the same time Shinji's handy started ringing. Looking at the display he could see that NERV was trying to contact him.
"EVA-Pilot Ikari Shinji her. What's wrong?"
Asuka, who was now standing close at his side to catch as much as she could from the call, could hear the voice of Misato answering.
"Shinji, a patrol cruiser has detected an angel approaching. You and Asuka must come to headquarter immedi-ately. Misato out."
Putting his hand away with one hand his other hand grabbed Asuka and together they started running toward the nearest emergency entry toward the Geofront.
Location: NERV Headquarter Pilot Briefing Room; Time: ½ hour later
The three EVA-Pilots, all clad in their plug-suits, were listening to the Briefing of Misato. Although Rei wouldn't fight today, 'cause of the latest damage of Unit-00, she was still present and listening.
"We were only able to rebuilt the in the last battle damaged defence systems of Tokyo-3 to 26%, so you can say we are defenceless against any direct attack. Because of this, Eva-01 and Eva-02 must stop the angel before he is able to land at the east coast of Japan. If you can't stop him there we can only use a N2 to buy us some time, so you two better do your best out there."
"You can count on us Misato! When we are finished with him, that angel will wish he never had stepped in our way." Shinji said in a serious, almost hard, voice.
Misato was a bit worried by his voice. She had never heard him talking like that before. He almost sounded like his father that way. It frightened her a bit to be honest.
"Shinji, is everything OK with you? You don't sound like usual. Something wrong today?"
Looking quick at Asuka on his left side Shinji faced Misato again. "Everything is fine Misato. That angel just interrupted something important for me, so he have to pay for that."
Misato couldn't help herself, but she had to smile at the thought, that there was something going on between Shinji and Asuka.
"All right Shinji. Here's now the plan for the battle. We will airlift Eva-01&-02 to the cost were we are currently rigging up power supply for the Eva's. MAGI reports, that you should have at least five minutes after your arri-val, before the angel should appear. Asuka, you're our expert in close combat, so you will take point in this mis-sion, while Shinji provides cover for you. Any more question?"
Exchanging a look with Shinji Asuka replied. "No Misato, I think everything is clear so far."
"OK, than prepared yourself and the Eva's for immediately departure. Dismissed!"
Snapping to attention the pilots raised. "Yes Sir!"
Location: Sector D79J, East Cost of Japan
The Eva Units-01&-02 stood ready at the shore to the pacific. Asuka had chosen a swordlike weapon, which seemed perfect to her for the close range fight with the angel. Shinji on the other hand had chosen a 80mm gat-ling canon with a fire speed of 3000 rounds per minute. He thought that would suit him best to provide cover for Asuka.
AN: You may have noticed, I decided to use a different set-up for the fight against the seventh angel. In my story, the angel will not separate into two separate beings. Instead he will fight as one, but ... I won't tell you to much reader, it's yours to find out. ;-)
Then the moment of truth was finally there. The angel was approaching.
"Shinji, cover me up."
"At once Asuka. Just be cautious."
"Of course handsome." That comment made Shinji laugh a little.
In the control room Ritsuko and Misato exchanged a curious look. Non of them had a clue of what was going on between Asuka and Shinji.
"OK sweety." Shinji replied after a few seconds.
Now Misato was really troubled. She didn't dared to think about the possibility of those two to be more than just friends.
Asuka meanwhile didn't waste a second. She was willed to make her reputation as an ace close combat fighter true so that everyone could see it. She moved forward toward the angel at full speed while Shinji let loose a hellstorm out of his gatling to distract the angel as best as he could. After a few seconds Asuka was in striking distance and jumped high in the air, her blade at ready. With a fast downward move she slashed trough the angel in the blink of a second. Afterwards she felt relieved, that her premier fight in Japan had went so well. Over the com Misato congratulated her while she moved back to the shore. She wanted to tell Shinji something, when suddenly Unit-01 lurched forward as fast as he could.
Shinji was really impressed by Asuka display of skill. Her moves were exact and with a feline grace, what made him look at her in awe. After her swift kill of the angle he wanted to congratulate her, when he saw a movement in the corner of his eyes. At first he had no idea what was going on, but than he saw it. The angel was regenerat-ing himself! Without a second thought he lurched forward to bring himself between the angel and Unit-02. There was only one thought dominating his mind.
'Protect Asuka at all cost.'
Asuka was at a loss of words. 'Why would Shinji do such a thing?' Noticing that Unit-01 would pass her, Asuka turned around to see what was happening behind her back. She almost forgot to breath. Right in front of her stood a fully regenerated angel, who seemed ready to attack her! Like she had guessed the angel attacked with some kind of laser or beam weapon. She braced herself for the impact, but there was no one. Opening her eyes she saw Unit-01 in front of her, blocking the blast with his mighty body. Not really thinking, only reacting by her deep implanted survival and fighting instincts, she moved her Eva in a attack position. She half conscious regis-tered Misatos order to attack the angels core before she attacked. In a matter of seconds the core of the angel was destroyed. Remembering what would happen next Asuka raised her AT-Field to full power and covered Shinji's Unit-01 with her Unit-02's body.
After the explosion of the angel Asuka pulled the heavily damaged Unit-01 toward the shore. In the distance she could already see the with full speed approaching rescue teams. When she reached the shore, she ripped open Unit-01 neck armour to retrieve Shinji's entry plug. After she got him out and after she had gently placed him on the ground she ejected her own plug and raced as fast as she could toward Shinji. The rescue team had mean-while arrived and was now retrieving Shinji from his entry plug.
After a quick look at Shinji, Asuka turned away in shock. Her face as white as a ghost. Shinji was terrible wounded. Like in a daze she heard the medics shout for things like plasma, defibrillators or other stuff like that. She hasen't noticed, but she had started to cry. Suddenly a hand with a tissue appeared in her field of vision. It was a very sad and hurt looking Misato, with although wet eyes.
"Why did he do that Misato?" Asuka cried. "Why had he jumped right in the angels line of fire?"
"I don't know Asuka." Misato relied crying. "I really don't know."
Location: NERV Hospital Emergency Station Time: 8PM, 2 day's after the battle
The nurse on duty, Usanagi Mijiro, was making her routine inspection of the station. The had currently only one patient, but he was some kind of a case. It was EVA-Pilot Ikari Shinji, who after an emergency surgery was still on the brink of death. Walking toward his room, nurse Usanagi was lost in thoughts.
'Why do the good boys have to suffer so much? It's not his first time here, but it was never that critical before.' Looking at her notepad she recalled the diagnosis of the doctors. 'Punctured left lung wing, 3 times broken left arm, fractured right leg and on top of that a damaged heart muscle. God how much this boy had taken this time.' Reaching room no. 679 Mijiro took a deep breath and stepped in. 'At least he obviously has now someone who cares for him.'
In a chair at one side of the bed, her head resting on the beds pillow, sat a sleeping Asuka. Mijiro had to smile at that sight. She know from the other nurses that this girl had never left Shinji's side and that she became quit violent when a doctor had tried to order her home.
'She must care deeply for him.' Mijiro thought. She made her checks as fast and quite as possible, trying not to wake her up. After finishing her checks she left as quite as she had entered. 'I hope for them both that Shinji gets well as soon as possible.'
The End
For now!
So what do you think. Please keep in mind that this is my first Eva fic and that as a German my English knowl-edge might be not very well, so please don't be to hard with me. Any comment or well meant criticism is appre-ciated.
