Someone to care for chapter two

Broken Pieces

I'm updating the story, fixing some stuff that I should have done. I'm back from a long vacation.


Presenting an Eva fanfiction.

It was three in the morning in the Katsuragi Residence.


"!"

Gasping, Asuka looks around checking her surroundings. She found herself looking for something that wasn't there.

"Baka…"

Don't let her in my head… don't let her in me…

"Baka no Asuka."

She's not real… I'm not hearing her…

"Busu… he'll always be mine."

Shinji… my little baka Shinji…

"Alone… poor little girl."

She held herself, hugging her knees and started to rock herself back to sanity.

She began to see an image of Rei grinning back at her.

I won't loose Shinji to you… He'll see me… he'll love… me…

"Shinji…"


(Dream flashback)

"She's gone Misato… Asuka's gone…" a sad Shinji frowned.

(End of flashback)

"A dream… it was just a dream…" she felt slightly relieved she held herself tighter… "I'm still here…"

She walked into Shinji's room. She found the young pilot still asleep… the sound of his Sdat player banging…

"Shinji" she whispered the sound seems to linger in the air 'My Evangelion Pilot'

"I'm sorry third child" then she returned to her room with the feeling of satisfaction.

"Note to self, no more of Katsuragi's cooking!" She then closed her eyes… trying vainly to return to her sleep.


December nine, school grounds.

A petite girl with light blue hair just above her shoulders was sitting at a bench all alone beneath a Sakura tree. Cradling a pink bag.

'Lunch.' Ayanami Rei gently opens the bag and pulls out what appears to be yesterday's leftovers.

She stared at the leftovers, wishing it to disappear. She glared at it. She wasn't really good at cooking so she didn't know how to make use of her resources back at her apartment.

'.'

"Trash!"

Ayanami Rei quickly casts it away, but something compelled her to look at it again, she felt guilty for wasting her food and sulked. Calmly, she picked it up, cleaned it and stared.

A small tear comes out of her left eye, hardly visible. But it was enough to convince anyone who ever saw her she was sad and unhappy.

Waste not, what God gave? God… Commander Ikari says God is dead. She gently took a bite of her food and left. "God gave me strength Ayanami." Ikarikun… I wish your words were true.

"Rei." A 14-year-old boy whispered her name, wishing she could hear him. He was standing a few feet away from her. She apparently didn't notice he was standing there.

I didn't know…


I'll try to understand you this I promise.

Frowning at what he saw, Ikari Shinji briskly walked to the cafeteria to buy some food for his friend. Friend? He smiled at the thought. Rei, I, I want you to be my friend. I don't want to be alone.

School cafeteria, the sounds of students filled the room with life, everyday school stuff. Love, death and Evangelion.

"Hey hikari-chan" Asuka grins as she waves at her best friend Hikari Hokari. A natural born leader with a warm and gentle side.

"Ohayu" smiling, Hikari waves back

Good morning? Its fifteen minutes pass twelve. Sigh… What does he see in that stooge?

School cafeteria


I'm not going to run away… I can do this… I can do this… confused, Shinji stumbled white chair placed suspiciously on his way. What the?

He heard the room fill with laughter as the entire cafeteria bored into his fragile heart. A certain girl was pointing her finger at him, laughing, teasing him, picking on him like she always did.


'Asuka, I should have known.

He got up as quickly as he could, ignoring the laughers of his schoolmates. Lowering his head like a dog kicked while he was trying to pee.


"HEY! BAKA! Shinji!"

A grinning Asuka shouts, shrill enough for everyone in the cafeteria to go deaf.

'Ignore her, ignore her'


"Shinji," Asuka, disappointed with how things went don't you notice me anymore? Asuka was hoping, more of trying to smile. The thought of teasing Shinji, it was always fun, a school trademark. Yet she felt bad. Her heart sank at the recently common feeling. She felt alone.

Asuka… you're so mean to me... I wish you wouldn't hurt me so. A tear falls from Shinji's eyes. He smiled at the thought of Rei.


Cafeteria counter, the usual long line of students.


"I'll take this banana cup cake and sprite please, also those." Choosing food for Rei is a hard task, sigh what does she eat anyway? He shrugged. Not rocks and stones I hope. The incident with Asuka was completely forgotten.

Rei... Ayanami. Uh… Want to share my lunch? God. That was harsh. What am I thinking? Planing what to say to her is harder... way harder. Shinji thought. Miss Misato. tell me what to say. He closed his eyes awaiting for an answer.

"Pilot Ikari." almost a whisper. A girl's voice…

"Rei?" Shinji turned around to see Rei, smiling, standing behind him. She was in her school uniform as always, yet she appeared a little famished.

"Ayanami? Uh. Uh. Want to." but before he could say the rest

"May I accompany you Ikarikun?" asked the smiling angel with light blue hair.

Ayanami. Shinji's face smiles a little. Is this a dream?

"Shinjikun?" Ayanami Rei poked Shinji on his shoulders, waking him from his daydream. Waking Shinji from his thoughts. Did she just call me a friend? Woo hoo.

"Uh. Sure Ayanami." He was smiling. 'You took the words out of my mouth. Rei.'

Smiling, Rei took Shinji's hand.

Shinji smiled. Blushing a little, Rei tugged him a bit. In Shinji's mind he wished this moment would repeat again and again like his Sdat. Life… Nothing could beat the real thing.


In the cafeteria, where everything is almost fair game.


Wondergirl. I... Hate... You

The words kept repeating in Asuka's mind. Hatred shows in her beautiful face. She felt like her toy was stolen from her.

"Asuka?" Hikari wonders at her friend's sudden change of mood.
