This story is called Death and the idea is original so if there is somthing else out there thats similar, I DIDN'T COPY!!!!!Thanks! Asuka stood in the dressing room of Nerv. Misato stood opposit her."Asuka Langley Souryu." Misato said, her tone was agitated and angrey." What were you thinking out there?!" They had just concluded another attack by the Angles. "You could have been killed! And you put Shinji's life in danger as well ! It was a slim chance we would get out of that situation.!" "But Misato!" Asuka cried, trying to defend herself. "No buts this time Asuka. You completely ignored our orders, and doing so you risked all our lifes! If you are going to be this way, it is only better if you don't Pilot! We already have enough problems here!. And you better stp attempting do your own thing out there because I will not Tolorate it!" Misato yelled. "I was only trying to help.." "You were showing off Asuka! One day your showing off will end up being a third impact! I think you could learn a thing or two from Rei!If you choose to be this way, than WE DON'T NEED YOU!"" Misato charged out of the room in fury. Asuka stood, a tear formed , and rolled silently down her cheek. "They don't need me..," She said, softly, her voice trembling. She slowly took off her plug suit and dropped it to the floor," I can't do it..." She put on her shirt and silently left the room. "What did you say to her?" Ritsuko asked. She getting ready to go home, since it was late. "I told her to quit messing around, because one day it 's not going to work out!" Misato said grabbing her caost . "Okay, Okay, Sorry I asked." "Oh, no, I'm sorry, but she gets on my nervs so much!" "She's only fourteen. You know how fourteen year olds are, starving for attention." "Not Shinji of Rei. Tell me , what have they got that she wants so bad? Why does she want to be better?" Misato said, quizically. "I don't know. She's Asuka. Listen , Misato. We've sustained some techinical problems from this attack. The main systems arn't working right and the Unit 00 has sustain a severed arm." "I guess I'm staying late tonight." Misato sighed " Make sure that-" Misato paused. Her and Ritsuko wahtched as Asuka left the changing room, and walked away, her footsteps echoed through the empty room. Misato watched her until she went out the door. Shinji sat at the Kitchen table with pen pen. He was eating some chips and reading a Nerv brochure he pick up in school. Her heard the door open, then close. He saw Asuka walk past and into her room. No words were exchanged. Shinji thought nothing of it and continued to read. Then the phone rang. He picked up and casually said, "Yeah Misato, I know, your late." On the other line misato said" Yeah, how did yiu guess?" "Asuka just walked in without you." "Oh, well, I'll be out all night. We've got some problems down here. G'night, Shinji." "Allright, Good night, see ya." Shinji hung up. He stood up and looked down the corrider. Asuka's door was partway closed , and inside it was dark. "Asuka?" There was no answer. Shinji shruged and walked past her door to his room. He closed the door behind him. The room was dark, but some moonlight flooded in through his open window.A small breeze blew thw curtains inward. The faint sound of it filling the Room. Asuka sat, her back facing Shinji, she was facing the window, staring out. "Asuka?" Shinji said, breaking the silence. No response. Shinji walked forward. Asuka turned to face him. Her hair lightly russeling in the breeze. Shinji stopped. She stood up and walked toward him.She put her arms around him. "What are you doing?" Shinji said. Asuka stared at him. Her eyes were dull and empty. They wern't vibrant and full of life like they usually were. Then Asukaa kissed him. It was a long, real kiss. Shinji at firts was surprised and tried to brake away, but them he began to kiss her back. A long passionet kiss. Then she pulled away. "Shinji." She said. Her voice was quiet and calm, almost mono. Shinji held some of her hair. It was dull and colorless in the dark , moonlit room. "Yes?" "I .. I love you , Shinji." "What?" Shinji was surprised. "I never told you because, I guess I had too much pride. " In Asuka's head Misato's words kept repeating themselves.."It is only better if don't pilot! One day your showing off will end up a third impact!WE DON'T NEED YOU!......"Why are you telling me this?"Shinji asked. Asuka cast her eyes to the floor. A long silence filled the room." I am no longer good enough for them. I serve no purpose. So, I am leaving Shinji." "Leaving? What do you mean?" Asuka didn't reply .she only kissed shinji one last time. As she did so, a tear rolled down her cheeck and into shinji's mouth. He tasted the salt. and noticed Asuka was crying. He wiped a tear way. She pulled away. "Goodbye shinji." She said, and turned to walk out. "Asuka, wait!" But Asuka kept going. She turned into the sitting room. Shinji sat down on his unmade bed. He thought about what just happened. What made Asuka feel that way? Then a shado fell upon the floor. Shinji looked up. Out side , Asuka was on the Balcony. Her shadow cast all thw way through his window. He stood and walked to the window, and watched her. She climbed up onto the rail and stood. Her dress fluttering in the breeze. She slowly took off each of her red hair clips. She looked at them. They didn't seem as btight and vibrant red as before. As she took them off her hair fell, but the win caught it and her hair blew behind her. She dropped her hair clips. They clattered to the balcony floor. She turned back to face the dark night. The lights of the city, the breeze, the stars. They all seemed so vegue to her now. Meaning less. Shinji watched her. For a moment he coulding comprehend what she was doing. Then in a rush of terror he knew. He quikley bolted out of the room, into the sitting room and out onto the balcony. "Asuka!" But no one was there. Only the silent breeze. He walked out, suddenly thrust into the cold. He shivered, then knelt down. He picked up one od Asuka's hair clips. It glinted in the moonlight. He quikley got up and went to the edge. Her forced himself to look over. There on the pavement below was Asuka's life less body. Unmoving. "Asuka, No!" Shinji cried, but he was only answered by silence. A tear fell from his check to the ground far Below. It was then that Shinji relized he loved Asuka as well. Asuka felt the cold pavement on her cheeck. Her head throbbed in pain. She thought she heared her name being called. Then she felt a drop of water hit her cheeck. A tear. Then everything faded to blackness... Shinji stood, frozen in fear and surprise , on the balcony. He had know idea how long he had been there when he heard sirens. Below, Two ablulances and a police car were on the pavment. Asukas body was covered with a sheet. He heard a muffles voice coming from inside thier apartment. "My god, my god, oh my god..." It was Misato. She was sitting at her desk. Her head was in her hands."It's all my fault. I was too hard on her..my god...Asuka..NO!!" She screamed and stood up quikley. She stopped, her hand ran along the wood frame of the desk, and found the top right drawer handle. She pulled open the drawer. Her han grabed a the cold metal handle. "I can never forgive myself! I can't live like this!" She fell to her knees and began to cryin deep sobs. Shinji stood, inmoving out on the patio. He heared misato crying, but did not go in. Then he heard a sharp bang pierce the air. A gunshot. Shinji squeesed Asukas hair clip aginst his chest. He looked down agian, against his will. Now there were no cars, no sheet. Only a white chalk out line of Asuka's body.Shinji stared at it for a long time. Then he turned and walked inside. Past Misato's body, slumped on the ground in a puddle of blood, past his room, past Asuka's room, past the ktchen, and went out the door. He walked, where he didn't know...he just walked...
