Asuka walked into the gym where the string quartet practice was going to be. She heard a viola being played and looked around. She saw Rei sitting on a chair playing her music softly. Asuka smiled and stood their listening. She saw how much emotion Rei put into her music for the first time. Asuka wanted to talk to her but she couldn’t. All she could do was sit there and listen. When the music slowly stopped Asuka walked over clapping. “Good job Wonder Girl.” Asuka congratulated. She sat beside her, setting up her music. Rei blinked and looked at her. “…” Rei felt slight warmth in her cheeks but shook her head getting rid of it. Asuka started to play her warm up piece. She didn’t fail to notice Rei watching her. Asuka smiled at her and kept playing. After she finished Rei looked at her viola. “You play… very well…” Rei commented flipping through her music. “I know, don’t I?” Asuka laughed. Shinji stepped in and saw Asuka laughing. “Finally getting along with Ayanami?” Shinji asked sitting down. “Who said that I was?” Asuka growled while glaring at Shinji. Rei blinked and looked at Asuka then back at her music not saying anything. Shinji began playing his music as Koaru walked into the auditorium. He clapped after Shinji stopped. “Koaru!” Shinji smiled. Asuka sighed an exasperated sigh and looked up. Rei began playing again. Asuka couldn’t help it, she turned her head to watch Rei play, but this time there wasn’t as much feeling in it. “Hmm…” Asuka thought for a second then shrugged. She finished setting up and began playing her piece that went to Rei’s music keeping in perfect time with her. Shinji and Koaru soon joined in. After the practice they all packed up. Asuka walked over to Rei and looked down at the girl packing up her viola. “Hey Rei, come with me.” Asuka ordered. Rei nodded and finished packing up her things and went along with Asuka obediently. Shinji and Koaru shrugged and went home. “Ok… Hmm… Let’s go there…” Asuka pointed to a bookstore that also had a café. Rei nodded and followed Asuka. They sat down at a table by the window. Asuka ordered for them and looked at Rei. “I have a question for you Wonder Girl.” Asuka blurted out all of a sudden and very bluntly at that. Rei was looking out the window. Asuka assumed Rei was listening to her. “Ok, at the practice, I noticed when you were by yourself you played with more…passion, more emotion. Why not when we all play together?” Asuka questioned leaning on the table. Rei turned to look at her with the same expression in her face. Asuka blinked in slight confusion. “I do not understand.” Rei simply said looking out the window. Asuka heaved another exasperated sigh and held her head. “Why don’t you play the same way with all of us playing as you do alone?” Asuka said as plain as possible. “I…” Rei looked at a bird. “I do not know…” Rei closed her eyes. Asuka sighed again. “Well… You should play the same way.” Asuka commented, dishing out her famous opinions while looking at the coming coffee. “Why?” Rei asked as the coffee was put down. “Umm… Well… Because it sounds better.” Asuka shrugged while sipping the coffee. Rei looked at the new drink and nodded. She sipped it and slightly smiled. “This tastes… pleasant…” Rei commented looking at Asuka. ‘Aha! Emotion!” Asuka thought. “So what are you going to do after this Rei?” Asuka asked leaning forward. “I shall go to my residence.” Rei simply stated. Asuka blinked and looked at her with her mouth open. “That’s all?!” “Yes…” Rei nodded looking out the window. “Uhh… Why not come over to my place?” Asuka smiled. ‘Why am I doing this?’ “Or, better yet, how ‘bout we girls go have some fun and go shopping.” ‘Earth to Asuka, you are talking without thinking, this is Rei Ayanami, you know Wonder Girl?!’ And? I wanna get Rei to show me some emotion What you want is to be with her What’s wrong with that? Rei needs to have someone in her life to l… Er… Be around. You were about to say love No I wasn’t! Yes you were. Face it, you love her Shut up! I don’t want to hear you! You will anyway… I leave it for you to decide how you deal with this… Asuka was brought to her thoughts by her spilling coffee on herself. “Ow! SHIT!” Asuka stood up and wiped it off. “Verdamt!” Asuka sighed and looked at Rei who was looking at her. “What?!” “…Are you ok?” Rei questioned standing up. “Yeah Wonder Girl, thanks.” Asuka looked at her ruined dress. “Well I need a new dress.” Asuka looked at Rei. “Guess its shoppin.” Asuka grinned. Rei nodded and followed Asuka to a nearby store not knowing how much Asuka loved shopping and how long she could do it for. “So how does this dress look Rei?” Asuka said stepping out of the dressing room in a polka-dotted white dress. It actually looked rather nice or Asuka. It showed off a good amount of curves. Rei nodded. “It is very… nice on you…” Rei said standing up. She walked over to Asuka and looked her over. Asuka blushed deeply not knowing what else to do. “W-What are you doing Wonder Girl?!” Asuka yelled not moving. “I shall return…” Rei walked off and came back with an assembly of very cute clothes. Asuka smiled and grabbed them and ran into the room and put them on. “Wow Rei! Great taste!” Asuka praised Rei’s idea while stepping out. It was a blue dress, about the color of Rei’s hair. It went about to the middle of her thighs and was low cut showing the tops of her breasts, it also had thin straps. Over it was a very thin, see through silk shirt that was worn unbuttoned. Rei slightly smiled. “Do you enjoy that dress?” Rei asked looking at Asuka. “Oh yeah!” Asuka smiled posing in the mirror. “I shall purchase it for you.” Rei simply stated pulling out some money. Asuka blushed. “Eh, thanks Wonder Girl…” Asuka shrugged and went back to posing. Rei bought the dress with several other things that went with Asuka’s new dress. She got a pair of black high heels, a sliver chain with a heart locket on it, matching heart earrings, a ring, a bracelet and an anklet. “Aww Rei, you shouldn’t have.” Asuka smiled. “I wanted to.” Rei said in her normal voice. “Do you enjoy these?” Asuka in the mean time was staring at Rei while spacing out. She is buying me things… Just like a guy would… See, you like it Well yeah, who doesn’t like gifts? You want her to do more than just this correct? Eh… Heh heh heh… 21 DAYS LATER… Asuka lay in a medical bed looking out the window. It was still covered in blood from the last angel, or, at least Asuka thought so. “What happened after I got knocked out?” Asuka thought out loud. 6 DAYS AGO… Asuka’s Eva was viciously torn in half from the angel, spurting blood al over the geofront. Shinji’s and Rei’s Eva’s were already taken out. Asuka was tossed into a dark unconsciousness… An eternal sleep “Asuka?” Rei’s voice came from the intercom in the Evas. “Asuka?” It came again with a sort of urgency. “Visual of Eva unit-02…” Rei saw Asuka’s lifeless Eva on the ground in two pieces. “No…” “A new AT field has appeared. It is incredibly strong!” A NERV personnel said looking at Misato. “Where?!” Misato yelled. “From… Oh my God…” Hyuga looked at Misato grimly. “Unit-00… from inside of it.” “Rei?!” Misato saw a small figure floating out of the fallen Eva. 6 large angel wings came from its back. “You… You killed them… you killed her… my only… the only one that cared!” Rei felt for her first time. Anger. And it was very clear why. She slowly floated towards the angel. She passed through it’s AT field with much ease, her plug suit being disintegrated in the process. “I will kill you… You hurt her… And now… You will join her…No… I won’t let her… I won’t let her die… She will come back…” Rei got in front of the angel’s face. It fired a large energy beam at her but it did nothing, it merely went around her and went into the air. She held out her hands and placed them on its face and closed her eyes. “The angel’s center of gravity is being reversed, its going to implode on itself!” Maya said looking at the screen in horror. “Rei stop! We can use its information!” Gendo said standing up. “I will not stop… I will avenge her…” Rei said as the angel, painfully, began to explode backwards. Its internal organs slowly turning to nothing in a pocket in space and time. Its bone and limbs began to jam into its body causing too much pain. It began to shriek in horror as it felt unexplainable torture. It soon became nothingness. Rei quickly floated over to Shinji’s Eva and revived him; the medical team was already there though. She dashed over to Asuka’s and tore open her entry plug along with it’s entire chest cavity and landed beside her. Her nude glowing form lit the dark plug. “Asuka…” Rei put a hand on her cheek then another on the other cheek and softly kissed her lips then whispered. Death be gone This soul you shall not take For my love binds it to this world Be gone foulest demons from her mind and heart Let her live again “Mm huag… ugh…” Asuka began to move and moan in pain. Rei picked her up in her arms and carried her into NERV HQ. PRESENT… Asuka looked at the blood stained window. She looked at it some more. It didn’t look like any angel’s blood. It looked like… Eva blood, but it wasn’t Rei’s or Shinji’s Eva, they were not near the medical center, only she was so that means… “Asuka?” A soft voice came to her ear. Asuka turned her head to see Rei in the doorway. Asuka smiled. “Hi Wonder Girl, I never thought I would see you here.” Asuka sat up slowly. “I am assuming you are feeling better…” Rei said sitting beside her. “Yeah… Hey what happened after I blacked out in that battle?” Asuka asked looking at the blue haired girl. “Shinji’s Eva awoke as before and killed it.” Rei lied. Asuka frowned. “He always does everything… How about you? You were hurt right?” Asuka glanced at her bandaged arm. “I am fine…” Rei said sitting down. “I am… glad you are ok…” Rei slightly blushed looking at the ground. “Thanks Wonder Girl.” Asuka smiled. Rei nodded and stood up. She put down a box in front of Asuka. Asuka blinked and opened it up. A red rose with a card attached to it read… Asuka, I know you like roses so here is one from me…Please get well soon… I miss you… Rei Asuka blinked and looked up to see Rei gone. Asuka smiled and sniffed the rose. It was sweet, she loved the smells of roses. But… How did Rei know that? “That girl is full of surprised…” Asuka chuckled and laid back down and soon fell asleep. Asuka sat on a bench twirling the rose with a smile. She suddenly had a flash of something. 6 DAYS AGO… Asuka felt herself placed in a medical bed. She slightly opened her eyes to see a naked glowing form above her, with red eyes, and blue hair, and large wings. “Rei…” Asuka slowly reached out a hand to her. Rei held her hand and smiled slightly; she put it down and disappeared from the room. Asuka blinked and shook her head. She saw Shinji coming down the hall slightly bandaged up, but more then Rei. Seems Rei was the lucky one this time, she was the least hurt. “Hey baka.” She sighed. “Hello Asuka, you look a lot better.” Shinji smiled. “Yeah yeah, thanks to you and your great piloting skills.” Asuka grumbled. “What?” Shinji asked confused. “If you didn’t flip out and uppercut (my own little saying. It means to go crazy and kill it.) that angel, I would probably be dead along with everyone else.” Asuka said looking at the rose. “I don’t get it… Asuka, if you are saying I killed the angel, you are very mistaken.” Shinji sat beside her. “What?” Asuka blinked and looked at him. “I didn’t kill the angel, Rei did.” Shinji commented with a know so kind of tone looking around. “How?” Asuka blinked more confused than ever. “Well… When she saw your Eva get torn in half she pretty much went crazy. She started glowing and grew wings. She tore open her Eva and floated over to the angel and made it implode, the whole time saying something like ‘I will avenge her… you shall not take her away from me’ Then she came and healed me some then went you and resurrected you from death. You should really be dead, but Rei, somehow kept you from dying.” Shinji sadly said looking at the floor. Meanwhile, Asuka was completely shocked and was looking at the floor. She didn’t know whether to believe Shinji or not to. “She… She did?” Asuka finally said. “Yes…” Shinji nodded looking at the rose. “She is in her apartment if you want to talk to her.” Shinji used him thumb to point in the general direction of Rei’s house. Asuka nodded and stood up. 1 DAY LATER… Asuka stepped out of her room and walked into the living room. She stopped dead in her tracks when she saw Rei. She looked at her then went over to her. “Rei?” Asuka called looking at the blue haired girl. “Yes?” Rei said looking at Asuka. “Shinji… Shinji told me what really happened during that battle… Am I really supposed to be dead?” Asuka sadly said as if she didn’t want it to be true and said it in a way to be as blunt as ever. Rei looked down. “Yes… But… You have shown me love… and kindness… You are a person I cared for, even loved. I couldn’t lose you Asuka… I will not lose you…” Rei looked at Asuka who had tears going down her face. Rei stood up. “I understand… I will leave you…” Rei took a step when Asuka looked up. “No… don’t go… please…” Rei turned back around to see Asuka standing up and going towards her. Asuka stepped close to Rei and began crying into her shoulder. Rei blinked and put her arms around her. “Rei… I *sob* I almost died…. And *sob* and someone cared *sob* so much *sob* that they didn’t *sob* let me die…” Asuka tried to talk but found it difficult in between tears. Rei held her close rocking her slightly. “I don’t want anything bad to happen to you Asuka…” Rei said softly in her ear. She… She loves me so much as to give me life? Yes, Asuka, take this opportunity to tell her! Tell her I love her? YES! “Rei I… I *sob* I love you so *sob* much… *sob* Oh God I don’t want to *sob* lose you!” Asuka broke down completely. Rei sat down and held her tightly. She rubbed Asuka’s back and rocked her. “Shh… Asuka… I love you too… I will never let anything bad ever happen to you…” Rei whispered taking one of her hands and holding it. “Rei…” Asuka looked up at her with teary eyes. Asuka smiled and leaned up slowly towards Rei. They met in a soft kiss, but it had so much love in it. All of their pent up emotions released in this simple sign of love. They broke and looked at each other. “Asuka… Never leave me, please.” Rei begged holding both of her hands. Asuka smiled and squeezed them. “I will never leave you Rei… I am yours.” Asuka said kissing her cheek. “And I… I am yours.” Rei smiled kissing Asuka’s cheek. NEXT DAY… Asuka and Rei now lived in the same apartment. Misato didn’t really take the news too hard. Some of the others thought it was quite strange, Maya for some reason though was behind them all the way in their decision. Asuka decorated the apartment so it was very colorful. Rei actually enjoyed it. “I like it Asuka…” Rei said looking around. Asuka put her arms around her waist and kissed her neck. “Good…” Asuka smiled. *RING* Asuka walked over to the door. She opened it to see Hikari standing there. “Hiya Hikari!” Asuka smiled. Hikari smiled back and leaned over to see Rei. “Hiya you two.” She greeted with a slight uneasy tone “Hey Asuka… is the rumor true?” Hikari whispered. “What?” Asuka blinked. “Are you and Rei… you know? Together now?” Hikari blushed. “Yup!” Asuka walked over to Rei and hugged her. “This is my Rei!” Asuka grinned. “Oh…” Hikari blushed and stepped into the house. “I see you decorated it Asuka.” Hikari observed while looking around. Rei and Asuka sat down on a large couch holding hands. “Yup.” Asuka smiled. “She did a good job…” Rei quietly commented. Asuka smiled and squeezed her hand. Rei smiled and got closer to Asuka. Hikari looked at the two and smiled. “I swear... You two are so cute together.” Hikari giggled. “Thanks Hikari… By the way, where is that stooge?” Asuka asked looking around. “Touji?” Hikari blinked. “Yeah him.” Asuka nodded. “Hanging out with Kensuke and Shinji.” Hikari sighed. “Oh yeah, that’s right.” Asuka said yawning. “Well, I just wanted to see how you were doing, oh and here…” She handed them a poster for the school dance. “This is coming up soon; I think it would be great if you two went together.” With that, Hikari left the house. Asuka smiled at Rei and kissed her. Rei softly kissed back. Asuka lay in bed awake. Rei beside her was already asleep. She looked so cute and innocent sleeping. Asuka moved some hair out of her face. I am so lucky to have her Are you happy now? Of course! What would you do if someone tried to separate you two? They wouldn’t live very long, I’ll tell you that Make her a happy woman Asuka I will… Marry her I will… I want to be with her for the rest of my life… Asuka kissed Rei’s forehead and soon fell asleep. In Rei’s dream she sat in the strange cart that the pilots seemed to be in during dreams. Rei sat on one of the chairs looking out the window seeing nothing but a sea of blood. Red… The color I hate most… But that is your loves favorite color … You do not hate red, you hate blood …I see… When I think of red I feel something… That is your love for Asuka, you use to not know what that was Yes…My love for Asuka is stronger then a hate for a simple color Yes… NEXT DAY… Asuka and Rei walked to school hand in hand. They were so happy together. They acted as if nothing was strange. Many people snickered and made rude comments about them, but they didn’t mind. They got to the classroom and stopped in front of the class as they all looked at them. “Ok, ok people, I have heard the rumor about Rei and I. Lemme show you something.” Asuka turned on her heel to face Rei; they all waited for a smack but saw Asuka softly kiss Rei while wrapping her arms around her. She smiled at Rei and licked her nose lightly. She turned around and smiled. “It’s true, we are together.” Asuka took Rei hand and walked her to her desk. Rei sat down and smiled at Asuka. “Bye love.” Asuka winked then kissed her. Rei kissed back. “Goodbye Asuka.” Rei whispered holding her hand till out of reach. Asuka sat at her desk and smiled at Rei. Rei smiled back and turned on her computer. It was flooded with messages as soon as it came on. She looked over at Asuka who nodded. Rei smiled slightly and began reading through the messages. [Are you a lesbian? Y or N] [WTF?!] [How did this happen?!] [Freak!] [Sicko!] [You stole Asuka from me!] [Can I join?] [I was going to ask you out eventually!] [That’s so cute] Rei began to just delete them ignoring them. One popped up with Asuka’s name on it. ASuKa_RoCKs!!!: Hey dear Rei_Ayanami: Hello sweetness. ASuKa_RoCKs!!!: Hehehe sweetness, that’s cute hun Rei_Ayanami: Thank you Asuka. I thought you might have liked it… Did you get a lot of messages from the other students as well? ASuKa_RoCKs!!!: Sure did, ugh, some of these people are really perverted… Rei_Ayanami: I agree… Are we going to the dance? ASuKa_RoCKs!!!: OF COURSE!!! ^__^ Rei_Ayanami: Great. Shall we do some shopping after school? ASuKa_RoCKs!!!: lol, you are catching on dear. Hold on, lemme change my name. ASuKa_RoCKs!!! Has left the conversation Rei_is_mine!!!

Rei_Ayanami: Good, I want to pick out a dress for you. Rei_is_mine!!!: Then I get to pick your dress dear Rei_Ayanami: Very well. Rei_is_mine!!!: Well, guess we gotta go and prepare for class, bye bye hun, love you Rei_Ayanami: Goodbye Asuka, I love you too. Rei stood at the gate of the school waiting for Asuka. She had cleanup duty. Hikari let her off early though. Asuka walked out and went over to Rei. She smiled and wrapped her arms around her. “Sorry I took so long love.” Asuka apologized kissing her softly. “It’s ok.” Rei smiled after the kiss. Asuka smiled and kissed her again. She slowly slid her tongue into Rei’s mouth. With a soft moan Rei began to fight Asuka’s tongue with her own. Asuka held Rei’s hands while kissing her. “Mmm…” Asuka moaned softly and broke the kiss. “I liked that…” Asuka smiled. “Me too…” Rei agreed kissing Asuka’s cheek. “Well Asuka, lets go shopping.” Rei smiled. “K baby.” Asuka took Rei’s hand and began walking to the mall. In a store, they found dresses, tons of them. Asuka felt like she was in heaven. She walked over to the dress rack and looked around. “Can I help you with anything miss?” A lady asked walking up to her. “Yeah… Where are your less fluffy dresses?” Asuka snickered while looking around. “Are you looking for yourself?” She asked. “Nope, I’m looking for my girlfriend.” Asuka smiled at Rei. Rei smiled back and walked over to her. “We are looking for a dress for each other.” Rei nodded taking Asuka’s hand. The lady was a bit shocked but shrugged and showed them the silky dresses. “Thanks… Hmm…” Asuka looked through them while Rei did also. Asuka found and nice blue one for Rei. It was low cut, almost too low, and had a high slit. Rei had found a nice silver one for Asuka, it had silver sewed into the sleeve cuffs and it showed much of Asuka’s back. It was a long dress but had two slits on each side. It was fairly low cut and had long sleeves. “Do you like this one Asuka?” Rei asked holding it up to her. “Wow Rei, it’s beautiful!” Asuka exclaimed kissing her. “Do you like the one I found for you?” Asuka smiled, holding hers up. “Yes, it is very pretty.” Rei smiled. “Come on hun, go try it on.” Asuka winked. Rei blushed and nodded. She went into the changing room and put it on. She stepped out and turned around for Asuka. “Wow…” Asuka walked up to Rei and stared at her. “That’s perfect…” Asuka hugged her tightly. “God you are so beautiful…” Rei smiled and hugged back. “You are more beautiful then I, Asuka.” Rei said kissing her ear. 2 DAYS LATER… Asuka and Rei stepped into the auditorium. They were holding hands. They saw all the other people already dancing. They smiled at each other and walked further into the masses of moving people. “Would you dance with me, Rei?” Asuka asked smiling at her. “Of course Asuka.” Asuka put her hands on Rei’s hips and Rei’s put her arms around Asuka’s neck. They began to move gracefully to the music. Everyone stopped to watch the two. They moved without flaw, every move was perfect. “Oh Rei… I love you so much…” Asuka whispered happily looking at the girl she loved more than anything. “Asuka… Before you… The only thing I had worth living for was Eva… But now… you are my reason…” Rei whispered back kissing her. Asuka stared at her with tears in her eyes. They stopped moving. Asuka kissed her deeply and forcefully. “Rei… I am so sorry! I use to be so mean and cruel to you… Just because I loved you… How could I have done that?!” Asuka cried into her shoulder softly. “Asuka… I don’t care about the past anymore… All I care about is you.” Rei softly said kissing her. “Now… How about we go get some drinks?” Rei said taking her over to the punch bowel. 4 hours later… Rei and Asuka lay on the floor in their house sleepily. Both still in their dresses. “Hey Rei…?” “Yes Asuka?” Rei asked looking at her. “Wanna lose the dresses?” Asuka winked. Rei blushed and smiled. “Ok…” Rei took off her dress, now only in her panties, as was Asuka. They smiled and got closer. “How about these?” Asuka tugged at the waistband of Rei’s panties. Rei blushed deeply. Asuka slowly slid them off, along with her own. She sat up and stared at Rei’s nude figure. “Oh Rei… How come you didn’t tell me about your perfect body?” Asuka smiled. Rei smiled and looked over Asuka’s. “Oh and someone shaves…” Asuka said running her fingers over Rei’s soft and smooth pussy. Rei moaned softly raising her hips. Asuka smiled and bent down kissing it softly. “Oh… God….” Rei felt Asuka’s tongue slowly trace her pussy, teasingly slow. Rei whimpered and raised her hips again. Asuka smiled and pushed her tongue is slowly, savoring Rei’s taste. “Mmm… Oh….Asuka…Mmmm…” Rei felt the most pleasure ever. She opened her legs wide for Asuka. “Mmmm….” Asuka began to licks deeply and hard. Rei panted and moaned loudly holding one of Asuka’s hands for support, this being her first time. “OH! Asuka!!!” Rei screamed Asuka’s named and cummed on her face. Asuka drank every drop up. Rei lay there panting softly. “Did we like that dear?” Asuka asked seductively. Rei slowly nodded and smiled. “Your turn…” Rei smiled sitting up quickly and resting Asuka onto her back. Asuka smiled at Rei. “Be gentle…” Asuka whimpered as Rei began to trace the shape of Asuka’s pussy with a finger. “I will dear…” Rei slowly slid a finger into Asuka eliciting a loud moan from her. Rei smiled and softly sucked Asuka’s nipples while pumping her pussy with her fingers. Asuka moaned loudly. “Oh…. Oh Rei…. I’m…. I’m so close…” Asuka panted moving her hips with her fingers. Rei began to move her fingers incredibly quickly making Asuka cum all over. “REI!!!! OH GOD!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!” Asuka closed her eyes as her juices flowed out of her body. Rei began to lick them up slowly, caressing her pussy with her tongue. Asuka moaned softly. The two lovers lay tired on the floor. “Will you marry me one day Asuka?” Rei said sliding a ring onto her finger. Asuka smiled and looked into Rei’s eyes. “Yes, I will Rei…” Asuka said kissing her. They both fell asleep, knowing that they will always be together. Forever, no one could ever separate them, not another impact, nor NERV itself. The only way of leaving each other would be death. ਊ
