Rei Ayanami gazed at the setting sun from her bed in the emergency
section of the hospital. Why had Shinji saved her? She was but a
clone to serve in the greater purpose of fending off and/or destroying
the angels who invaded their world.
It truly was not her world, to say the least... She was a genetically
modified being, like one of those new tomatoes with the hepatitis A
vaccine in its DNA. Rei laughed softly at her joke... Something she
hadn't done for quite some time...
"Rei!! You're awake!!" Shinji stepped into the room, a shocked look on
his face. He just then noticed Rei's attire, a thin hospital gown,
and averted his eyes. A slight blush crept over the surface of his
skin as he grinned at the now faintly smiling Rei.
Rei regained her calm, unsmiling exterior as she spoke the one question
that had been on her mind for the past few hours of concious thought.
"Why did you save me? Your father could have created a new version of
myself... He could create hundreds of me, if he wished... Why care for
a clone?" Rei stopped herself before she fell over the edge of anger,
unexplained anger for anything to do with the destruction of Angels...
Silence echoed painfully through the pristine hospital room, and
just at that moment Rei noticed Shinji's bandaged hands, crimson
seeping through the layers of gauze as his burned hands flinched from
her temporary hateful state.
At that moment, a nurse entered the door silently and ushered Shinji
from the room. He went without complaint, stopping once to reveal his
sorrowful eyes, pleading eyes. His expression became burned into her
memory, leaving her to her thoughts....
*** haha... it is the newbie(preferrable called sabre) here again... i
haven't addressed you in any of my other pieces... i guess that there
is always a first... feel free to critique my work... ahahha mushy,
