ASUKA<br/><br/>I was woken by the muffled sounds of Misato talking. She was either chewing out Shinji trying to make him into a man or on the phone. I couldn't catch the words but she didn't sound pleased.<br/><br/>I closed my eyes for a moment, willing her to just shut up.<br/><br/><em>Kaji.</em><br/><br/>Then she did.<br/><br/><em>Danke.</em><br/><br/>I opened my eyes and stared at the ceiling. Japanese ceilings. What's with that? All the same. Same light fittings. They still have the light pull hanging by a cord from the light itself so you have to walk into the middle of a dark room before you can see what you just tripped over and tore your shin against... instead of like the rest of civilized humanity who put<em>switches</em>on the<em>wall</em>by the<em>door</em>. Come on people, it's not rocket science. This is NERV isn't it? You're saving the world, can't you save my shins first?<br/><br/>(http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq131/renmei_2008/eva_asuka097.jpg)<br/><br/>It was no use, my frustrations were boiling back up from last nights trick-or-treat gone wrong or whatever it was.<br/><br/><em>Kaji.</em><br/><br/>I sat up. Dammit! Time to start a new day. School. School-school-and more useless school.<br/><br/><em>Kaji.</em><br/><br/>I went to the door and slid it open. It still worked. More or less. Shinji's door was shut. Hopefully aliens had come in the night and abducted him, though surely even they wouldn't bother with their anal probes with<em>him</em>.<br/><br/>Wearing just my loose vest top and baggy cotton sleep-shorts and with hair all over the place I went in the lounge, yawning hugely.<br/><br/><strong>"Ohayo gozzymuss,"</strong>I mumbled to Misato who looked worse than me and still had last nights bath towel on. I slumped on the sofa.<br/><br/><strong>"Misato, tell me I had a bad dream last night and you don't really need me to have sex with Shinji."</strong>I lifted my arms over my head to grip the cushion top and stuck my bare feet out, resting my heels on the coffee table and crossing them.
