Thoughts in the Darkness
The alarm clock on her bedside table read 3:45Am, and Asuka Langley Sohryu, wasn't asleep. She was wide awake, mainly due to the fact that she had too many feelings rolling around in her to let her sleep.
Asuka didn't like what she was feeling. Aside from the fact that her face was numb from the icepack she'd had there for most of the day, she'd had an odd feeling inside of her since she'd gotten home from school. She figured that she should be very very pissed off at Shinji for hitting her and at Wondergirl for.... for just being Wondergirl. But she wasn't. Well, she was pissed at Wondergirl, but she had a different feeling toward the Third Child. She was feeling something akin to regret and a infinitesimal amount of pride. What she was regretting was hitting that little red-eyed bitch , no matter how good it had felt. She was feeling proud, not for herself but for Shinji. That really threw her. "Why am I proud of the little baka? He slapped me hard enough to rattle teeth." As she considered this Asuka realized she was proud of Shinji because he'd hit her. For the longest time she'd picked on him so she could get a rise out of him, to get him to show the side that she knew was there, just buried. What Asuka wanted to see was the Shinji that made Eva-01 the deadliest thing on the face of the Earth, the Shinji who could face down God's appointed messengers and make them blink. "Oh yeah." She though ruefully "I saw the side I've wanted to see for so often, only problem was that it was directed toward me." Snorting in disgust Asuka turned over and tried to get to sleep again. She had no luck due to the fact that her stomach was making rumblings concerning food. "Fine, fine I'll go get some food. Quiet down already."
As she opened her door Asuka saw covered plate and a note next to the doorframe. Picking up the note she read "I'm sorry, Shinji" Her face hardened and she began to consider taking back all the stuff she'd just been thinking about, then she uncovered the plate. The German girl let out a light gasp at what she saw. There sitting on the plate, looking like it had just come off a pastry wheel was a piece of rich, dark chocolate cake. "How did he........Misato." Asuka smile again, knowing that Shinji must have nearly died asking Misato what she liked. Chuckling to herself Asuka turned down the hall, plate in hand and stopped at Shinji's door. Leaning in very close she whispered "Apology accepted baka." and headed back to her room to eat the cake.
Deep within the bowels of Central Dogma sits Terminal Dogma. At the heart of this most restricted section of NERV is the Dummy Plug plant. The room had 2 current occupants, Rei Ayanami and Commander Gendo Ikari, the Supreme Commander of NERV. There was no sound in the room except for the quirt hum of the machinery that worked the tank of LCL that Rei was in and the sound of breathing. They'd been like this for many nights and would be for many more. Tonight however would be somewhat different. Gendo looked up from one of the reports and asked "Rei, why exactly is there such a large deduction from your account?" The albino girl blinked before she made her reply, which was somewhat muffled by the LCL. "It was necessary for school." Gendo pushed his glasses up on his face with a gloved hand. "What in school was so necessary as to facilitate your withdrawing one million yen?" Rei seemed to almost blush as she considered her answer. "It was the amount necessary to pay for my bid at the school auction." Ikari paused a few seconds before he said anything again. "What did you bid on Rei?"
Her response was almost instantaneous. "I bid on the Third Child."
Gendo Ikari was a man who prided himself on having total control over his body language. But that simple sentence threw him for a loop. He blinked his eyes and shifted his gaze around the room before he reached over and drained the tank. "That's enough for tonight Rei, you may go home." Rei nodded her head as she finished dressing ans left the lab. As the door whooshed shut behind her Gendo felt himself begin to very slightly shake. Rei had bid on the Third in an auction. This was most........disturbing. Rei was crucial to his plans for humanity and her needed her focused on nothing but what he told her. As he regained control of himself Gendo's mind was already at work digesting and absorbing what he'd heard and already it had begun to give him options. Reaching into his jacket he withdrew his cellphone and punched a number. "I want all surveillance reports on the Children for the last 24 hours on my desk. Now." he didn't need to say anymore than that, after all he was the Commander and just the mention of his name cause people to jump. He'd have what he wanted very shortly. "And then." he whispered as he headed for the door "We shall see what can be done to rectify this...unfortunate.... turns of events."
to be Continued
Author's notes: ok I know that this is a bit brief, but it was meant to be. All I wanted to do with this was give you a little insight into Asuka's head and it gave me a good reason to put Gendo into this. And yes I know that the whole "I'm sorry" food thing is cliched but I needed to use something, and it was first thing that came to mind.
Omake:
As she opened her door Asuka saw covered plate and a note next to the doorframe. Picking up the note she read "I'm sorry, Shinji" Her face hardened and she began to consider taking back all the stuff she'd just been thinking about, then she uncovered the plate. The German girl let out a light gasp at what she saw. There lying on the plate was a human heart. Pinned to it was a note. "Here's Rei's heart. I'd give you mine but I need that, love Shinji." Chuckling to herself Asuka turned down the hall, plate in hand and stopped at Shinji's door. Leaning in very close she whispered "Apology accepted baka."
Author's Notes: I had to put that in. It struck me right when I wrote the original paragraph. I think though I may have Rei fans after me. `_`() Still the last omake was kinda of an Asuka bash so this evens out the score.
