Dreams

He sat crossed legged in the small garden, letting the dampness from the grass seep through his hakama. His face
was tilted up, staring at the moon which illuminated the clouds in the sky with silvery light. A sudden gust of humid
wind ruffled through his unruly red hair, he did not notice.
What ? Where ?
His thoughts swept through his head like the rushing current of a river. Focusing his mind would be like trying
to catch water in his fist. Yet every thought was about her. Memories of what they had shared, dreams of a future that
could never be. All revolving around a great yearning, He wanted her. He did not deserve her. She was pure , at least she was until he
had touched her. He hated himself, but he wanted to do it again. To feel her soft skin against
his, he run his hand along...
The river froze and he heard the almost imperceptible sound of footfall on grass, and the scent of jasmine. She
was here. He became aware of his breath quickening. He had been in battles, felt the splash of blood on his face yet this
girl had such a powerful effect on him. He tried to force calmness, but then she spoke.
" Kenshin," her voice came soft as a breeze.
" Hai Kaoru-dono? "
Dono?
" Why are you avoiding me?" she asked
" I'm not," the lie sounded hollow in his own ears.
" Don't lie to me Kenshin, don't ever lie to me" she said, her voice was broken and ragged. She was crying. He had hurt
her again.
He forced himself to turn around and face her. She's beautiful, She is. He saw the tears slide down her cheeks
from her bright, blue eyes. He felt his heart break, then shatter.
" Kaoru-dono?" he reached for her and she stepped back. He left his hand outstretched as he died inside.
" Why Kenshin, why do you do this to me you said you would never hurt me."
" I must for your own good."
She looked up at me, her tears paralysed as confusion set in. " What?" she
whispered.
" I'm leaving Kaoru, and this time I won't come back," he confessed forcing his voice to be like iron. What.
" No Kenshin you can't," she said breaking into a fresh storm of weeping.
He turned away. He could not stand to see her cry even if he was the cause. As he often was.
" It'll get better Kaoru. You'll move on, he soothed.
" No Kenshin, I'll die without you," she wailed.
" You wont Kaoru, you're strong. Stronger than me. You always were."
" You can't..."
" I must, " he interrupted. " Aishiteru Kaoru."
He started walking and did not look back. A tear slid town his face as he heard her
desperate cry.
" KEENSHIIIN!"

" Iiyaaah!" Shinji cried as he bolted upright in his bed. He looked around with blurry eyes. What a weird dream.
" SHINJI STOP YELLING I HAVE A HANGOVER," Misato bellowed.
" SORRY," he shouted in reply.
" GET UP AND MAKE BREAKFAST."
He rolled out of bed and yawned. The image of that girl from his dream came back to him. Her long, shining, black
hair tied in a blue ribbon. Those beautiful azure eyes welled up with tears. It was a dream forget it, he mentally slapped himself.
Grabbing his towel he wrapped it over his boxers and headed off for a shower. As he passed through the living room he saw
Misato fumbling with a bottle of Tylenol. Suddenly the lid popped of and pills showered everywhere.
" Waaaaaaaah" she cried.
Chuckling mildly to himself Shinji made his way to the bathroom and closed the door behind him.

****
" KEENSHIIIN," she cried, her voice hoarse. why am I yelling
He did not turn, did not even falter. He kept on walking, walking out of her life, his
long tail of scarlet hair swaying as he moved. Why was he leaving did he not love her as she loved him, love, what is
love.
Her legs buckled and she fell to her knees hard. The pain from her knees was not noticed over the tearing pain
in her heart. No, Kenshin no. Why was this happening why could
she not just die. I want to die.

Rei's eyes snapped open. She was breathing hard and a thin sheen of sweat covered her body. That was unusual. Such
a vivid dream. She could recall every detail.
Particularly the man. She had never seen him before but she could summon and image of a short, handsome man with blazing
red hair in a samurai's tail, violet eyes and crosed scar. Who was he?
Sighing quietly she stood up, and walked naked around her dilapidated apartment. Weaving her way around discarded
school uniforms, bandages and boxes or assorted items to the bathroom. She twisted both taps and stepped into the shower,
letting the warm water rush over her. The dream replayed itself in her mind. Why did it hurt so much. That dream had
exposed her to more emotion than any thing in before her life. In it she, that is the girl Kaoru, had mentioned love. But love
was supposed to be a glorious, ecstatic experience. If it is so glorious why did it hurt so much.
She finished washing and stepped out of the shower, coming her hair and putting on a fresh school uniform without bothering
to dry herself.
Perhaps I shall dream again tonight. Intriguing.


To be continued.

Authors notes: So what do you think. Am I insane for coming up with this I felt like
writing a fan-fic and this idea wouldn't leave my head. I don't know if the whole soulmates
idea has been done before but it seemed like an interesting idea. I will write another chapter
when I have time and continue if I get good reviews. The story will be a
Rei x Shinji/ Kenshin x Kaoru romance fic. I know many people prefer Shinji/Asuka
and I do not disagree I think both couples are good matches. I simply prefer Shinji x
Rei and wanted to write about them, so please no flaming about my choice of characters. I
welcome all constructive and polite criticism as it makes me a better writer,
but I can't always agree. One last thing if there are any other English anime fans out there I
would like to hear from you so leave a message on the review board.
Cheers for reading.
Beer-monster.

PS- This is my first fic, so be gentle and review PLEEEEEEEAAASSE!
