A/N: So, I'm back for another chapter of "Broken Yet Whole".

Thanks Hellsink Bathhall for your review. I really appreciate it.

I'm trying to push for longer chapters but the work is very tedious. I'll try though. *No promises. xD

Well, enjoy..If possible.


Chapter 2: Through The Abyss Of The Past

Part One: Inside Those Crimson Eyes

REI'S POV

Several years ago, before The German was told she was a pilot, Rei was told that she herself was a clone. The man that told her was trustworthy at the time. So, she believed him, even trusted him.

She was told she was a clone of The Third's Mother, Yui Ikari. The Commander, however, saw her as an imperfect copy. In reality, she was a perfect copy, of The Angel In The Dark, Lilith.

She went through many trials and had overcome many hardships. There was no problem because she was told emotions held people back and hurt themselves and others. In response to that, she severed all emotions and walled them up in the pits of her soul.

She always knew that she was more than she seemed, that there were more secrets inside of her than The Doctor and The Commander wanted her to know. She had many quiestons that she wanted answers. In turn, she locked the quiestons up too.

Nobody would answer her quiestons so she decided to find the answers herself. The Doctor showed her how to code, so Rei created programs that reproduced and infested every corner of The Headquarters. She had access to every secret of everybody, the answers to the quiestons she had and more since she was denied those answers.

She was snooping around one day when she came across something that intrigued her. She had found a newly created folder dubbed "Third Child". She knew The Third had to exsist since there were three EVANGELIONS in exsistance: one in Germany and two right there in Japan. Rei had already found out everything there was to know about The Second, a fiery red-haired girl, around her 'Age', by the name of Asuka Langley Soryu.

She dug through the files, copying them to a fresh hard-drive as she went, learning more and more of The Third.

Among the information she found out about The Third, there was The Age (around her 'Age'), current living (At The Second's manor in Germany), birthplace (Japan, same as "Rei's"). She also found out that His Name was Shinji Ikari, he was The Commander's son, and he had brown eyes and hair.

How Interesting.

One emotion broke free of the previously tight bond: a deep Curiosity followed by Interest.

Rei decided that she was going to find out more about the boy when he came back home.

Part Two: Inside That Broken Doll

ASUKA'S POV

The first time she met the boy was when she was six. He was sent over to the manor by his father. She later found out that his name was Shinji of the Ikari family. He was the only person that she could trust or even talk to. Over the years, they became really close, until she had to leave.

When she was ten, she was told she was The Second Child, The Pilot of Evangelion Unit 02. So, she went away for special training to become one of the protectors of man.

Asuka never saw Him again for years, until the Angels came back and she moved to Japan.

Part Three: The Void of Hurt

SHINJI'S POV

He was a broken person. Not the normal type of broken, but the type that involved mental neglect and abuse. When he was younger, he had seen his mother die in front of his eyes. Two years later, his father left him and sent him to Germany. There he was bullied and abused until The Second helped him. When he found out that he was The Third, he thought that maybe he now had something to live for. He piloted not for his sake, but for the sake of others. Later, that ends up not only hurting him, but hurting others as well.

When he met Asuka, he was being beat up by a gang of kids older than him outside of the Academy. Thier excuse was that he did not fit in because he was a foreigner. While they abused him, they told him that he would never belong anywhere. He knew they were right.

Then Asuka showed up. She fought the boys and almost broke their jaws in the process. She held out her hand and helped him off of the ground. "Komm schon, Idiot." She said. Come on, idiot.

A/N: Sorry if the translations aren't great.

My German isn't that great.
