(zanzoku na teshi no these)
Shinji came home with Misato and an extremely furious Asuka. She was enraged, because the baka broke her synchroscore today and hasn't even tried to do so. SHE was the best Evangelion pilot there is and she would stay in this position. So she decided to show Shinji his place, which was under her, both in social status and from the synchrotest scores, because she was the best and not some baka with his dumb luck. Naturally she ignored some really small details like his help against Gaghiel, their combined victory against Israfael, his help in the fight against Sandalphon in which she nearly died and she also forget that he was the first to reach Sahaquiel and held him in position, until Rei and she could destroy him. Furthermore she ignored the unofficial Kill-list that coursed through NERV, in which the Pilot of EVA 01 had the lead.
This was all irrelevant for her and she decided to put Shinji into his place, which was definitely lower than hers, so that he should even be honored to breathe in her presence. "HE IDIOT, HURRY WITH THE DINNER, I'M HUNGRY!!!" shouted Asuka in the ear of the poor lad. "Oww...Asuka, I'm not deaf, no need to shout" complained Shinji silently, after he regained the ability to hear something other than the constant ringing of his ears. Unfortunately for him Asuka heard him complain, which lit her already short fuse again. "I CAN SHOUT AS MUCH AS I WANT NOW HURRY UP WITH DINNER" ordered Asuka in a way that would make a drill sergeant jealous. "Hai hai" answered Shinji resigned and trotted into the kitchen, while Misato tried to calm down the red-haired volcano. Why can't she be nice for a change? I've never done anything to her, I don't even want to pilot EVA, it only brings pain and with Asuka only the double amount thought Shinji getting depressed while he prepared the dinner for his makeshift-family.
"Asuka, Misato, Dinner is ready" called Shinji out of the kitchen to get his roommates to the table. Almost instantly all occupants of the house, including PenPen were in the kitchen and helped themselves to their meal. The entire dinner went like every day. Misato got drunk, Asuka complained how a wimp and houseman like Shinji could become an Evangelion pilot, while Misato drank more and more beer to block out Asuka's rambling, in which she succeeded and fell asleep at the table. Shinji cleared the table and took a blanket for Misato out of her room. He then wanted to go to his room, but was intercepted by Asuka in the living room. "Wait a moment, baka! I have to talk to you" interrupted Asuka Shinji's escape into his enclave. Shinji gulped as Asuka pulled him into the living room so that she doesn't disturb Misato, while she gave Shinji a piece of her mind. As soon as they were in the living room, Asuka began to push Shinji around the room, threw German and Japanese curses at him and generally treated him as she thought he should be treated. But it didn't stop there. The curses got from worse to downright gruel, the in Asuka's opinion light pushes grew stronger and stronger until she didn't hold back any more and hit Shinji in more sensitive areas. This was, when Shinji began to defend himself, but this effort was vain, as Asuka decided to work on Shinji's stomach region. Finally Asuka landed a hard blow and Shinji was forced to the ground, breathing hard to get air into his abused body. As he lay on the ground Asuka kicked him in the ribs for good measure before she waited that her punching bag stood up again. Slowly Shinji crawled up, holding his hands to the place, where Asuka hit him in the ribs. But as soon as he stood again, Asuka continued her assault on the defenseless pilot.
Meanwhile Misato was awakened by the cries of Shinji and tried to identify her surroundings. It took a few moments for her alcohol-clouded mind to realize that it was Shinji who sounded in pain and a few more to realize that the sounds came from the living room. With problems Misato arose from her impromptu-nap and staggered in the direction of the cries.
Back in the living-room Shinji managed to stand up and tried to flee into the relative safety of his room, but Asuka would have none of it and stopped his escape with a shoulder throw that carried him directly to the TV-set or more precise to the sharp edge of the wooden structure that held the TV. Shinji managed to land in the worst possible position and heard a sharp cracking sound before an unimaginable pain overtook him and he lost his consciousness.
This was the scene that Misato witnessed, as she entered the living room. Asuka stood there with a self-satisfied smirk, while Shinji lay in the broken remains of the TV-set, blood slowly dripping from his mouth and a various number of scratches and bruises present on his face and arms. Immediately Misato was at Shinji's side to check him for live-signs. She breathed a sigh of relief as she found them and spurted to the telephone to call for help. In the meantime Asuka realized that she went too far and snuck into her room, where she hid and hoped that she wouldn't face the consequences of what she had done.
A few minutes later Ritsuko arrived with a team of medics at Misato's door. "Misato, this better be good, you know how I hate it when someone wastes my time" greeted Ritsuko the worried-out-of-her-mind guardian of two pilots. Without a word Misato lead her and the medics into the living room. Even Ritsuko lost her cool as she saw Shinji Ikari; NERVs best pilot lying in the shattered remains what appeared to have been a TV and some other electronics. Immediately she rushed to the young pilot and checked for injuries that weren't visible at first, dreading what she would find. Time slowed as her worst fears that she got from her first look at the third child were confirmed. Slowly she withdrew her hand that checked the boy's spine moments ago and found something irregular. Red blood dripped slowly from Ritsuko's gloved hand. "Take him to the ICU immediately but be careful, he might have a spinal injury" Ritsuko ordered the two medics, which carried out their orders and placed Shinji on an inflatable stretcher and transported Shinji to the roof where a VTOL waited for them. Ritsuko stayed a little bit longer and demanded a report from Misato, before she also went to the roof.
The VTOL took of seconds after Ritsuko got on board and flew directly to the Infirmary in the Geofront through the main shaft.
After a long night for many people at NERV, Ritsuko finally left the ICU where Shinji was held to give her report on the condition of the third child to Major Misato, his guardian and Gendo Ikari the Commander of NERV.
She met Misato directly at the doors to the ICU, worried and hoping for news about her charge. After Ritsuko and the medics transported Shinji from her home to the infirmary she immediately followed them to NERV and waited the entire night for news about Shinji's condition, too worried about him to think about how the entire situation happened. She knew that it was Asuka who caused the whole mess, but was preoccupied with other things than to worry about the redheaded demon.
"Ritsuko!, how's Shinji?" asked Misato, as soon as she saw the doctor. "He'll live, but we have a really big problem" answered Ritsuko truthfully. "What is it?" asked Misato fearfully. "In medical terms he suffers from paraplegia" answered Ritsuko, what earned her a questioning gaze from Misato. Ritsuko sighed and explained it in simpler terms. "His spinal column has been broken and a bone splinter penetrated the nerve channel and damaged his nerves beyond what we are able to repair at the time" explained Ritsuko. "WHAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTT!!!" echoed Misato's scream through the halls of NERV HQ.
