Requiem of fate
Chapter 5: Shadows
Shinji had at the best sleep of his life last night, just holding Asuka in his arms made him forget all about the gun shot wound he had got protecting her.
He look over at the digital clock on the night stand. It was 2:00 in the morning, yet he couldn't get back to sleep. He tried not to wake Asuka up as he left her room. On his way to the kitchen he saw D just staring out the porch window looking up at the night sky. Shinji joined him just looking out the window in a peaceful silence. In the house no noise was heard and nothing bad had happen, or else D would have told him. They just stared out the window until D had to talk to Shinji about something that had been on his mind since his decision to bring in The Shadows.
"You know we only need on of them." D said to Shinji.
"I know, but..." Shinji said, still looking out the window calmly.
"Bring in the whole team, they'll tear this town to ribbons."
"Can't be helped. We need them." Shinji replied. "I won't let them get her, D."
D sighed and Shinji knew what was coming. "You know you can't be with her."
Shinji's face was sad as he said that. "I know."
Unbeknownst to the pair, Asuka was listening to them, hidden in the hallway as they talked. She had felt a sudden chill while she slept and awoke to find no Shinji next to her. Curious, she got out of bed and went to find him. When she heard that Shinji couldn't be with her, she started to cry silently.
"I know I can't be with her, D. But you wanna know something?"
D smiled, knowing what Shinji was going to say. "What?" he asked.
"I'm going to be with her anyways." Shinji said with a wide grin.
"I knew you were going to say that." D sighed. "But you do know that when you go against orders they're going to kill us."
"You scared 'Sin'?" Shinji asked.
D smiled at the use of his nickname. "You know me 'Reaper'. I'm not as long as you're happy. I don't care what happens."
Asuka was still crying in the hallway, but not out of sadness, out of joy.
Shinji wasn't going to leave. He promised her once that he would never leave her, now she knew he would, will, always be with her.
But one thing still bothered her: Why did Shinji call D "SIN" and why did D call Shinji "Reaper"?
She knew that they both served in the American military, but what was with the nicknames? She would have continued to think but Shinji inadvertently interrupted her train of thought.
"Now, what Shadow are we going to bring in?" Shinji asked.
"I say we bring in Flame."
"Good choice. Since I can't be at school with Asuka, you and Flame will be in every class with all the personnel that work at NERV."
‘We are so going to get it for this', he mentally groaned. ‘Oh, what the hell.' "Understood. But let the record show that I was against this idea."
Shinji just laughed at D. Back when they were still training D always used to make Shinji laugh. But after there first couple missions Shinji seemed to laugh a bit less. He still remembered when Shinji was wounded on a mission, he still completed it and carried another more injured soldier to the pick up point.
D looked down at his watch. It was 3 in the morning.
"Shouldn't you be getting back to your wife
Asuka blushed when D said 'wife' instead of 'girlfriend'.
"You know D... wife, I could get used to that." Shinji said with a smile.
Asuka blushed even harder at hear that. Shinji was thinking about marriage? Not that she minded if he would have asked her, she would have said ‘yes' in an instant.
"D, I have another thing to ask of you."
"Oh? What is it Shinji?"
Shinji grinned. "If any guy hits on her, I want them eliminated."
D cringed a little. "You know I hate it when you smile like that. But all right, if any guy hits on your wife I'll make them disappear."
Asuka couldn't believe what she just heard. If any boy hit on her Shinji would have them killed? Much to her own surprise, she found that made her love him even more.
Shinji bid D goodnight as he returned to his ‘wife', as D like to put it.
Asuka just barely made it back to the bedroom before Shinji did. As Shinji laid back down Asuka pulled him closer to her. He turned and looked at her to see that she was awake. He pulled her close and kissed her softly on the lips. Asuka put more force into the kiss, sliding her body on top of Shinji lips still locked. Shinji broke the kiss and looked lovingly into her eyes. He could see what she wanted, but not yet. Shinji wasn't going to give into temptation.
"I want that too, Asuka, but not yet. Okay?" he asked, brushing a stray lock of red hair out of her angelic face.
Asuka gave him a lite smile and nodded her head, indicating she understood what Shinji meant. Such a thing was meant for married couples, or slightly older people, meant to be special, as first times often were. She gave him one last kiss before she fell asleep on top of Shinji, her head nestled between his neck and shoulder.
She had the most peaceful night sleep. Even if she had school the next morning just the thought of coming home to Shinji made her happy.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
The morning had come to quickly for Asuka's liking. She got up and grabbed her stuff for her shower. As she opened the door there stood D with his back to her. She gasped quietly as she looked at D's naked back. In gothic writing on the his left shoulder blade all the way to his right shoulder was the word ‘SIN' along with scars that looked like bullet wounds.
D turned around after tying a towel around his waist.
He stared at Asuka and she stared back.
"You know Shinji has a tattoo as well, right?"
"No. I didn't know that. What's his say?" she asked.
"His says ‘Reaper', but he has more bullet wounds then I do."
Before Asuka could say anything, D walked out of the bathroom leaving a very stunned redhead.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Everybody was ready.
Rei and Kensuke had already gone to school. Kaji and Misato were still asleep. Toji and Hikari were waiting for D and Asuka.
Shinji told Asuka before he left that he would be picking her up from school. He left after kissing Asuka goodbye.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Class had gone by so quick that now it was lunch. Everybody was eating on the school roof. Rei was leaning her head on Kensuke's shoulder, occasionally kissing his cheek while he played with gently rubbed the palm of her hand with his thumb. Toji and Hikari were the same, except that Toji was leaning against the fence while Hikari was resting on his chest.
D stood by the door watching Asuka eat the lunch Shinji had made for her with a smile on her face. However, the peaceful mood was shattered as one of Asuka suitors came up to the roof looking for his ‘girlfriend'.
"Asuka my dear, this is were you've been." Kenji said with a smile on his face.
Asuka, however, had a pissed expression on her face. "Kenji for the last time, I'm not your girlfriend.
Kenji's smile faded quickly. Clearly mad he grabbed Asuka's wrist and pulled her off the ground into a harsh embrace.
D had seen enough, and he did have his order. He was getting ready to pull his gun when a hand stopped his own. D looked up and saw who it was before he smiled.
‘ This is gonna be good' D thought
Shinji had come upon the scene when the boy, whatever his name was, grabbed Asuka.
"You have to the count of three to let go of her."
Asuka and everybody else turned their heads to see Shinji. Asuka most of all was glad to see him.
‘My knight in shining armor.' she thought. "Kenji, let me go before my boyfriend kills you."
Now either Kenji had been turned down once too often, or he had a very short temper, but he just couldn't take it. He was the strongest fighter in the school and here was this little girl telling him what to do. With a sneer he pulled his hand back and slapped Asuka with enough force to send her to the ground.
Shinji's eyes turned dark, his expression one that would have scared the former emotionless Rei Ayanami. Needless to say, Rei, Kensuke, Toji and Hikari (who had raced to Asuka's side the second she went down) were all terrified to see this side of Shinji Ikari.
Commander or not.
At seeing Kenji slap Asuka, his Asuka, Shinji lost it. Before anybody could do anything, Shinji had pulled D's gun from his holster and in one deft move fired a single shot through the boys right knee cap. Kenji screamed in pain as the bullet tore through his leg, automatically causing the boy to fall to the ground. Everybody was silent as the boy continued crying. Asuka ran to Shinji and buried herself in his shirt, crying, which was not really like her former self.
Shinji looked at D and nodded. D understood and nodded back.
Shinji kissed Asuka on the cheek were she had been hit and then lead her down the stairs.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
"Shinji?" Asuka said, stopping him a couple meters from his parked car.
"Yes, Asuka?" he asked the girl.
"I.. I'm sorry." she said with downcast eyes.
Shinji creased his eyebrows. "For what?"
"For... crying."
Shinji looked confused at the girl he loved. "Asuka, what are you talking about?"
"I... I cried. Someone hit me and I cried. I've taken worse from the Angels and never batted an eye. That was weak of me."
Shinji pulled Asuka into a firm hug and kissed her forehead. "So, you're apologizing for being human?" he chuckled at that. "Silly girl. You don't owe me any explanation or apology. That's one of the reasons I fell in love with you."
"It... is?" she asked, looking up to meet his eyes.
"I love you, Asuka. Tears and all." he said, gently nuzzling her nose before kissing her tenderly on the lips.
"I love you too, my Shinji." Asuka whispered to him as she met his lips once more as he held her.
Shinji made sure D alerted the school to Asuka's departure, stating NERV reasons but not being specific. He knew it was bull$#!+, but it wasn't his place to complain about small things like that. Flame would be arriving soon and he needed to make preparations for the Shadow's arrival.
