Chapter Four: The Date, Part 2
When they arrived at the restaurant it was so nice that it made Asuka wonder if Shinji could pay for it. But then she remembered that she was on a date with the Commander of NERV for god sake. Shinji parked the car. It was the only time in the car that he played any music because his left hand was on the wheel and his right was occupied by Asuka's hand. They walked in the front door still holding hands, the waiter lead them to a private table where Shinji ordered a nice Italian dish while Asuka and a German dish. They ate in silence until Asuka couldn't stand the silence.
"Okay, still it! Where have you been?" she asked him, nearly spitting/shouting
"Classified. If I told you, I would have to kill ya."
Asuka look in Shinji eye's to see if he was lying but all his eye's held was the truth and love for her. That and an amused smirk. Shinji reached across the table and held Asuka's hand, just looking her in the eye's while he spoke to her the truth about where he had been for that hellish year he was away from her.
"Asuka, for the year that I was gone all I thought about was coming back to get you. But every time I got up the courage to do so, I was called away for a mission."
She looked at him in the eyes, her blue spheres alive with understanding.
"That's right Asuka. I part of SPEC OPs for the American government. They're the reason I'm here. But you wanna know something?"
Asuka held her breath in anticipation. "What?"
"Even if I did join the military, I still would have come back to get you." Shinji answered, smiling at the young woman.
Asuka felt tears welling up inside her eyes, an ache in her heart. "But... why would you want to be with me? I was nothing but a bitch to you when we were younger."
Shinji moved across to sit next to her. "Why you ask Asuka? This why." he said softly as he cupped her cheek softly and pressed his lips to hers in a tender kiss.
Asuka felt emotions flare within her, things she hadn't felt in... forever. The kiss lasted only a couple seconds, but to the two lovers it felt like an eternity. To Asuka this was better than their first kiss. And she knew this was the reason she had turned down all the other boy's at school. She knew that in this kiss, everything was gonna be ok, and then maybe she and Shinji could start a relationship.
As Shinji pulled away he looked into Asuka eye's and whispered something in her ear.
"Wanna try that relationship thing again?" Shinji asked her.
He was rewarded with a gentle smile.
"I would love to."
Shinji kissed Asuka again, still as gentle with her as he had been before. As he had always been with her. She lost herself in his touch, still not believing that this was the same shy and timid boy that she had made fun of less than a year ago. The same one who was now kissing her like a man that she was in love with.
They pulled apart and Shinji couldn't help but smile at his red haired goddess that was the flame of his life. Asuka returned the smile with the smile of an angel, in Shinji's opinion. She turned her head to see a boy about Shinji's size and build looking at her with a sick smile on his face. She gasped and turned away, trying to bury her face into Shinji's chest.
"Asuka, what's wrong?" Shinji asked out of concern.
"There's a... a boy... over there." she said, her speech nearly broken.
Shinji turned to look at the boy, who stood up from his table. The silence of the restaurant was broken by this evil man.
"Hey Shinji Ikari!" Nicholai said.
Shinji and Asuka rose from their table, the young man pushing Asuka behind him.
Shinji's eyes narrowed, as if he knew what was coming. "Yeah, that's me."
"Good. And is this Asuka Langley Sohryu?"
"Maybe."
"I know its her so here is the message." Nicholai
Shinji saw him reach inside his coat and pull out the 9mm that he had acquired before leaving his apartment. Shinji reached behind his back and drew his own gun. Asuka knew what was happening from seeing Shinji draw his weapon. They leveled their guns at each other.
"Sorry to ruin your date and all, but I got orders." Nicholai said.
"Don't worry, I'm gonna make sure you never ruin something like this again." Shinji said
"And how are you going to do that?" Nicholai asked
"I'm gonna blow your head off and send it to your boss."
Nicholai merely smiled as his finger pulled the trigger.... two shots and that was it.
Asuka flinched when she felt something hot, warm and kind-of-watery splash her cheek. Shinji and Nicholai were still smiling at each other until Nicholai fell to the ground, a bullet in his head.
Even in death he still wore that twisted smile on his face.
Shinji reached in to his pocket and drew his cell phone. He punched a number and waited until D picked up. Asuka still didn't know what had landed on her face. She touched it with her hand and now saw that it looked like blood. But who's? She didn't feel anything wrong with herself, and that left the only obvious option: Shinji had just taken a bullet for her.
"D?" Shinji said.
"Yes, sir?"
"I need a clean up team at my location."
His voice picked up. "Sir, what happened?"
Blackness was starting to cloud his vision, but he managed to walk over to the corpse, emptying the rest of his clip into the body.
"D..." he said, straining to stay conscious, "I need you to take Asuka back to the apartment and send some agents to get the others. Mainly Hikari, Toji, Kensuke, and Rei..... also I need a doctor... I've been shot."
Asuka knew it. Shinji had always protected her and he had done it again. She managed to lead him to a booth and laid him down, putting her hands on his wound to try and stop the bleeding.
The agents arrived in under two minutes, along with D. The boy, though concerned about his friend, he had his orders. D collected Asuka, despite her protests that she wanted to go with Shinji and make sure he was going to be alright.
The girl was starting to crumble. Everything was going so well: she had gotten to kiss the man of her dreams and they were even going to try a relationship. But now that was being threatened, all by a single bullet.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Asuka had been taken back to Misato's apartment where all her friends and family were waiting, along with a few agents to guard the entrance and top of the building. Misato was in tears when Asuka walked in, so was Rei. Toji was comforting Hikari the best he could, Kensuke was the same with Rei. And Kaji was trying to calm down his pregnant wife. Asuka took one look and walked in to Shinji's room, changed and fell into a nightmare filled sleep.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
D had left after he gave the orders to the agents: no one was to leave and no one goes in without his express in-person permission. He was with the Commander now. It was lucky that the bullet had only passed through his left lung. He was going to be okay. Not hard to believe since Shinji had been shot 4 times when he was in the military before completing his mission and then going to the medic to get patched up.
Shinji was awake when D walked in. He was still cursing himself for not being able to stay awake when he was shot. He didn't care about the bullet wound, his heart needed something and the only thing he could think of was Asuka. He needed to get back and make sure she was ok. After all the time he had spent away from her, all he wanted now was to comfort her.
Shinji was getting dressed when D walked in. He shut the door, they needed to talk.
"This was sooner than we expected." D said.
Shinji sighed. "Yeah. And I didn't think they would come after her in a crowded place."
"We should step up security."
"Call the states, we're bringing in the 'Shadow's'."
D gasped. "That is a little extreme, lets just bring the two we need."
Shinji glared at him for a second. "Ok, bring in "Flame" and "Sand"."
Now D was worried. "Sir, they'll destroy everything if you order them to."
Shinji was smiling. "I know, that's why I want them here. They won't even be seen."
"Sir, I don't think this a good idea."
Shinji was back to glaring. "You have your orders, now do it."
Shinji put his jacket back on as he exited the hospital room. He started walking down the hallway with D by his side. They walked all the way to Shinji's car in silence, where they both got in. For obvious reason, D drove. He already knew where they were going, back to Misato's.
Shinji needed to see Asuka.
The car ride was made in silence until D couldn't take it anymore and popped in a CD. He set it to the right track number. Shinji liked this song, and D knew it. For Shinji it reminded him that if he changed too much, he wouldn't get what he truly wants... Asuka's love.
(A/N if you have the song Cold by Crossfade start playing it)
Looking back at me I see
That I never really got it right
I never stopped to think of you
I'm always wrapped up in
Things I cannot win
You are the antidote that gets me by
Something strong
Like a drug that gets me high
Shinji looked out the window on the drive to Misato's, staring at the stars. But all he could see was Asuka crying herself to sleep.
What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold to you
And I'm sorry about all the lies
Maybe in a different light
You could see me stand on my own again
Shinji couldn't help but feel sorry for them. They beat all the Angels and now this has to happen.
Cause now I can see
You were the antidote that got me by
Something strong like a drug that got me high
I never meant to be so cold
I never really wanted you to see
The screwed up side of me that I keep
Locked inside of me so deep
It always seems to get to me
I never really wanted you to go
So many things you should have known
I guess for me there's just no hope
I never meant to be so cold
"So... cold." Shinji said softly as he hugged himself.
D heard but said nothing. Shinji had gone through hell to get to where he was now, just to get back to the girl he loved, returning to the place that caused him so much pain and suffering. D turned down the music because he thought he heard Shinji ask him a question.
"What was that, sir?" D asked.
"I said, is this my punishment for defying god?"
"Shinji, you know what our punishment is for defying god?"
"What is it D?"
"Death."
That killed the conversation. All Shinji had on his mind was getting back to Asuka.
When they got to the apartment they saw the guards. D motioned to the guards to stand down. They both saluted D and Shinji. The Commander of NERV didn't have time for this and walked past them. Shinji didn't wait for the elevator as he bolted up the stairs to the floor Misato lived on.
(A/N: Not sure what floor Misato lives on)
D was waiting for him when he got to Misato's door. Misato went to hug him when they walked in, but D got in her way. Shinji walked past everyone and headed straight for his old room, hoping to find Asuka there.
"Shinji?" Misato gasped.
"Don't be insulted, Misato-san. Shinji's just worried about Asuka." D explained.
Misato seemed to accept that, even though it was obvious she wanted to express her own worry.
Shinji opened the door and saw her lying on the bed, crying in her sleep. He walked over to her and laid down with her. He held her in a warm embrace. Asuka awoke to someone holding her. The first thing she saw was Shinji's warm and loving smile. At first she thought she was still dreaming, until she felt his lips press gently against her own. When Shinji pulled away from her, he saw that she was still crying.
"Asuka, what's wrong?" Shinji asked her with a worried expression.
"What's wrong? You were shot, baka, and here you are in bed with me when you should be in the hospital."
Shinji just smiled at her. "You wanna know something?"
"What?" she asked.
Shinji smiled as he leaned closer. "You're the reason I'm alive."
Asuka was at a lost for words as Shinji leaned in and kissed her again. That kiss told her that he loved her so much that he would have moved Heaven and Earth to get to her.
Asuka fell asleep with Shinji next to her, her head on his chest, his arms still wrapped around her as she fell into sleep.
D walked into the room as quiet as a ninja, then left the same way making his rounds and checking on everyone. This was one night that they wouldn't forget, but unfortunately there would be more.
End
(A/N well I hope you like all the romance in this chapter and the action more to come)
