Ok this is my first fiction story so be nice please I redid some of the story so this is not the original. This story will be a Shinji/rei. Everyone else usually says "ikari-kun" or whatever but I am writing it as if it was an actual episode. It doesn't really take place after an episode. I also DO NOT OWN ANYTHING OF EVANGELION!!

"Tears of Blood"

Chapter 1: Beginning

It was 3:30 in the morning and Shinji was not sleeping well.

*Ikari I hate you! Baka Shinji your nothing but a little piece of.* "no..NOOO!!!!" Shinji awakens sweating and panting hard. "What was that? Rei hates me, Asuka hates me." 'well duh!' "I need to go for a walk." Shinji heads out of the house and notices Asuka sitting at the table. "Asuka?" Asuka looked up a slight bit. "What do you want?" she walked over and stood 2 inches away from Shinji's face. "I was just ahh.I just saw you and I thought you were crying." Shinji could not help take a small peek down and got a nose bleed very quickly. "YOU BAKA!!!" Asuka hits Shinji hard enough to send him flying to the wall. "Ow." Shinji opens the door and walks out not even bothering to close the door behind him.

*Ayanami's Apartment 402*

Rei awakens after a dream that confuses her. ".....". Rei gets up and takes a shower. After she finishes drying she dresses, gets something to eat and exits her apartment at precisely 5:00 AM. 'I am to go to school. Then attend a sync test at 3:00 PM. I will then return to my apartment.' Rei then headed for school.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------

*School, Class room*

"Stand! Bow! Sit!" Hikari the class representative had instructed the class as the teacher came in. Rei sat staring out of the window as she usually did since she knew everything the teacher was going to teach.

Class ended at 2:45 PM and Rei proceeded to go to her scheduled sync test. In the hallway Shinji came up to Rei when there was nobody else was around. "Ayanami! Wait!" Rei stopped dead in her tracks but did not turn around. "..." Rei waited for Shinji's response. "I just wanted to know if you would umm.if you would uh.like to go get something to eat or uh something.but you don't have to if you do not want to!". Rei did not say anything. Shinji was confused 'Is she ignoring me or something? '. "Is that all?" It was now 2:50 and rei would probably be a little bit late and she did not like to be late. "Uhh.umm yea I guess so." Rei could hear a hint of disappointment in Shinji's voice as she walked off. Shinji then headed home.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------

*Outside close to a couple of food shops*

"The least Misato could have done was leave me a little bit of money since it IS her night to cook. At least I have some money with me. It would have been nice if Rei could have been here."

About 5 minutes of walking Rei walked up behind Shinji. "AHHH!! Ayanami what are you doing here you nearly gave me a heart attack! " Shinji was now sweating due to the shock. "Did you not invite me to eat?". Shinji could not help letting out a little blush. "Uhh yes I did sorry I forgot." 'Stupid Shinji don't tell her you forgot!' "Do you not wish for me to accompany you?". Shinji's blush had faded but Rei was still confused at what it was. "no I do I do!". "....". Shinji was a little confused. 'Why is she being this open she seems like she would have just stayed at home, but she came.' "Umm let's eat here!". Rei thought for a moment and then started walking to the food store.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------

*Ayanami's apartment*

Shinji helped get some groceries in that they got after they had eaten. "Here you go Ayanami I think that's all of them." Shinji started to head off. "Ikari." "uh yes Ayanami?" Shinji was now sweating as he knew something was up. Rei thought about telling Shini her dream but then decided not to. Shinji was puzzled. 'What does she want? ' There was a long pause. Rei then slowly closed the door. Shinji started to head off as he noticed something like a whisper. After Shinji had left to go home Rei got ready for bed. After taking a shower and getting into bed Rei pulled her knees to her chest and let sleep take over.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------

*The next day at approximately 3:45 PM*

sirens go off everywhere. "ANGEL ATTACK!" "GET THE EVA'S READY". The evas are launched and the three pilots fight as hard as they can, but the angel self-destructs. Rei's eva was the wounded the worst and its arm was completely destroyed. Rei was sent to the infirmary and Commander Ikari was noted.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------

*Infirmary room #145*

Shinji sits be Rei's bed and waits for her to wake up. Rei's arm is broken, a couple of her ribs are cracked and her left shin was shattered completely. She opens her eyes a slight bit and expects to see Commander Ikari but instead she sees Shinji half asleep in the chair beside her bed. 'Why is he here? '. "Uhm mm...yes I do." Rei stares at shinji while he talks in his sleep. "Uh HUH? Oh oh Ayanami your awake!" Rei just stares at him blankly. "Do you feel any better?". Rei looks at her ribs and realizes that there is a big black spot. "No." she answered in her usual monotone voice. "Oh ok. Well they probably wont let you.". "You can sign for my release. I do not wish to be here." Shinji did as he was told and sign for Rei's release papers reluctantly.

Rei tried to get up but it was very difficult and painful due to the cracked ribs and the fact that if her shin was shattered that meant her left leg was useless. "See it wouldn't have been that bad if you stayed." Shinji did not know what to do as They were only about fifty feet from the hospital. "Do you want to go back?". Rei just gave Shinji a glare and Shinji knew that probably meant no. "uh nevermind."

Shinji helped Rei home but by the time they got to her apartment it was very dark and raining. Shinji helped Rei into her apartment and left to go back home. Since he did not have to hurry back home due to the fact that nobody would be home, he took his time to walk home so he could have time to think about Rei and why she was the way she was. 'Why didn't she just stay? '

*"Shinji's lovely suite"*

Shinji started to fall asleep with his SDAT as he remembered back to when he was at Rei's apartment. Shinji heard a faint whisper. "oyasumi nasai".
