Ok I have decided to add a very strange twist to this chapter. Again, THERE
WILL BE A TWIST. If you don't like it tell me, but I did not like the way
this was all going. Also, this chapter will be very short like one of the
others. But I promise that the chapters will now be better. Another thing,
I am going back to school in a week. So, needless to say, I will not be
able to write much. I have martial arts about 2-3 days a week, band
practice about 2 days, I will be on the debate team hopefully, and I have
homework. Football games that I will be doing band things with. So, I will
be very busy. Anyway I am sure that bored you so here is the next chapter.
"Tears of Blood"
Chapter 11: Dream Sequence
Shinji woke up. It was 1:30 in the morning. He was in the same apartment that he had been living in for a while. 'Why am I here? ' Shinji got up and looked around. He was in his room. He went out and looked around the house. Then, he heard something. He went to the kitchen and found Misato. . .and Gendo. Gendo had a knife and was hurting her. Then, he saw Shinji. "Shinji come here." Gendo walked to Shinji grinning and laughing evilly. As he got closer, Shinji noticed that cuts started appearing and bleeding and Gendo was laughing as if they were not there.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------- *Katsuragi Residence*
"AAAAHHHHHHHH!" Shinji woke up panting and sweating hard. "What was that? Was it a dream?" Shinji woke up Misato. He told her about everything and asked if it was just a dream, or if it was real. "Shinji. . .that never happened. You must have been dreaming. Now try to get some sleep. You have school tomorrow and then a sync test." Shinji got up from the table. "A sync test? Ok." Misato knew what Shinji was thinking. "I may have to report this."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------- *School: The next day*
The next day, Shinji was staring at Rei the whole day, but he was not really staring. He was thinking. About his dream mostly, but also about Gendo. Then, he noticed that Rei glanced at him for a minute. Then, his computer beeped.
Ikari,
I wish to speak with you.
Rei
Shinji was very confused. When he looked at Rei, which was not even 10 seconds after he got the message, she was gone. He looked at the door and she was not there. It was like she was never there. 'This is strange. Rei is gone. I got a message from her which is unusual, and she wants to talk to me which is really unusual. Well, school is about to end so I can find her and talk to her.' The bell rang and class let out. Shinji got outside and looked around. He found Rei sitting on a bench. He sat down beside her. "Ayanami? You wanted to talk to me?" Rei closed her book and looked at Shinji. "Ikari. I had a dream last night. It was a very strange dream. The commander was trying to hurt us." Shinji nodded as he looked into her eyes as if in a trance. "I had the same dream. It was strange. I Remember I went asleep. A think the dream started when I saw Gendo in your hospital room." Rei nodded. "That is when my dream started also." Shinji was kind of happy that Rei and he shared a similar dream, but he was not happy that it was a very bad dream. He was also confused. 'I didn't know Ayanami even had dreams!' Shinji was about to get up when Rei spoke. "Do not forget that we have sync tests this afternoon." Shinji looked at her then smiled. 'Why is he smiling? ' Rei was thinking and then it hit her. 'In the dream. The Commander was angry with Ikari for not showing up for the sync test.' The edge of Rei's lips curved into a very slight smile that Shinji probably didn't even notice. Then, they both headed for the sync testing, which would be first with each other and then with the evas. When Shinji and Asuka tried to sync, it failed miserably. Then, Rei got up. Rei and Shinji were perfect. Everything was the same. It was like a mirror, When one's leg moved, the others leg moved. Misato smiled 'They are doing very well.' Asuka was then trying to sync with Rei. That also failed miserably. Then they went to sync with the evas. It was going to be a long day. They were going to sync with each eva. Shinji with unit 00, 01, and 02. Rei and Asuka were going to do the same. Shinji was in sync perfectly with unit 00 and 01, but not with unit two. The same with Rei. Asuka was able to sync with unit 02 perfectly, but only 50% with the other evas. Asuka was fuming. She stopped out of NERV as Misato chuckled to herself. Shinji went to talk to Misato after the sync tests. "Misato? Why were Ayanami and I the exact same?" Misato thought. "Have you two shared anything that made you two feel the exact same way and connect?" 'Connect? ' Shinji asked "What do you mean? I told Rei about the dream and she said that she had the same one, but I don't understand what you are saying." "Exactly!" Shinji stepped back as Misato practically yelled in his face. "What?" "When you told her about the dream. You said you were both hurt by Gendo and you both started to dislike him. 'Even though I know Shinji already disliked him.' You also said that you and Rei became very close in the dream. Then, if she feels the same way, you two will basically. . ." Misato could not think of the words. "I understand Misato." Shinji left and Misato stood there for a minute. "I am glad that he said he understood. . .because I have no clue what I was saying. At least he feels better now. I think." Misato chuckled and left NERV as it was already 7:00.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------- *Ayanami's apartment 402*
Rei sat in her bed. 'Is what Misato said true? I do not understand. How could a dream affect us in any way? ' Rei did not want to think about it so she decided to sleep. She pulled her knees to her chest and fell asleep quite quickly.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------- *Katsuragi Residence*
Shinji sat on his bed. 'I wonder if Misato even knew what she was talking about. It is kind of funny thinking about it, but I don't think me telling Rei about the dream really affected anything. Oh well, I better get to sleep.' Shinji did not get to sleep as quickly as Rei did however. He had multiple dreams of Rei. Some of them were good, but most of them were bad. He had dreams of her and Gendo and how Gendo always stood in the way so Shinji could not get to Rei. He also had a dream that scared him so bad, he would not get back to sleep. Gendo was in the dream again. He shot Rei. But, this time she was gone. Shinji could not help her. He watched her die, and he was helpless. He woke up screaming. He was thankful that Misato or Asuka did not hear. At least, he didn't think they heard. A week later he had an even worse dream. Gendo started third impact and everyone died. Nobody survived except for Shinji. He was all alone.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------- *Outside close to school*
Shinji was too scared to get back to sleep. He decided to go for a walk. He could not rid his mind of Gendo and Gendo hurting Rei. He would have gone back home, but it would only be another hour and a half until school started, so he decided to just walk around. About 30 minutes before school started, he saw Rei walking up. "Ikari?" Shinji walked up to her. "Ayanami! Uh hi." Shinji could not think of what to say as he was not really awake. "You are early." Shinji nodded. "I had another dream and could not get to sleep, so I decided to go for a walk." Rei just stood there. "How long have you been here?" Shinji looked at his watch. "About and hour and a half." Rei thought for a moment. "You were here very early then." Shinji nodded. "Uh Ayanami?" Rei looked up. ". . ." "Do you uh want to uh go see uh um a uh movie or uh get something to uh eat or uh something?" 'Stupid Shinji. Think of what you want to say before you say it!' Rei thought for a moment. "After the sync test that will be fine." Shinji looked up at the mention of another sync test. 'Oh I remember. We now have sync tests every week.' "Ok Well we will talk a little. . ." Shinji looked around. Then, he realized that he was standing there for an easy 3 minutes before he said anything and Rei was already headed inside.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------- *After sync testing outside of NERV*
"I don't think I like these new tests with us having to sync with every eva." Shinji chuckled to himself. "It does not bother me." Rei simply stated in her usual monotone voice. "So uh Ayanami? Do you still want to get something to eat or uh see a movie or something?" Rei looked at Shinji. "That is acceptable."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------- *Movie theatre*
Shinji was sharing a bag of popcorn with Rei. But, he really wasn't sharing since Rei did not really like popcorn. She had tried a few pieces, but said she did not like it. They were going to see the only movie playing. It was some romance movie. Shinji didn't even look to see what it was called. During the movie there was a very warm scene. Shinji was watching and understanding it all, but Rei on the other hand, she did not understand it one bit. "Ikari. What is the point of this action." Rei was confused. The man had offered the woman to stay at his place for the night. They slept in the same bed, but did not do anything. "Well uh. . .they are in love and he doesn't want her to have to go back out at that time of night." Rei was confused, but Shinji's explanation did help a little. "But I still do not understand." Rei's voice was getting a little too loud for the man who was sitting behind them liking. "Hey you shut up or get out of here." Rei didn't even notice the man, but Shinji did. He glanced back, but did not say anything. "Ikari. . ." Rei stopped in mid sentence. 'What is love? ' Rei was confused again. She did not understand a lot of emotions. "Ikari if they are in love should they not. . ." Shinji interrupted as he knew what Rei was going to say. "Yes they are in love, but they don't want to do anything. They are probably tired. They had a busy day." The man was getting even more irritated. He threw some popcorn at Shinji and Rei. Shinji looked back at him. "Please stop sir." The man threw another piece that hit Shinji in the face, but not hard. "I will when you and that stupid little. . ." Shinji interrupted again. "Please don't call her that." The man sat back in his seat and they started watching the movie again. After about thirty minutes, Rei was confused again. "Ikari why is he leaving her? Does he not love her?" 'Love. . .what is it? ' Every time Rei said that word, she felt weird, but she just kept shrugging it off. "Well he knows that someone else can take better care of her. He is just looking out for her." "If he is not there, then he will be unable to look after her." When their voices got too high for the mans liking, he threw the whole bag of popcorn at Shinji and Rei. Unfortunately, he had a very big bag. So a lot of it went spilling everywhere. He and Rei got up and started to leave. "Yea that's right! You and your little. . ." Shinji shut the door before the man could finish his sentence. "I'm sorry Rei. This did not turn out to well." Rei was still very puzzled by the movie. "Ikari I did not see the point of that movie. It contradicted itself many times. Did the man love her or not?" There was that word again. Rei froze for a second when she said it again, but Shinji did not notice. "Well most movies are just for entertainment so you shouldn't worry about it." Shinji walked Rei home. It was raining a little before they got to her apartment. When they got there, it was down pouring. Luckily, they got inside before it hit, so they were not that wet. Shinji Followed Rei up to her room. He looked inside. 'Boy this place is a mess again. I will have to clean it sometime.' He was too busy looking at the messy apartment to realize that Rei was standing out of the doorway to invite him in. "Well Ayanami I better go before it really starts to rain." Rei looked down in disappointment and then looked up before he left. "Do you not wish to stay?" "Huh?" Shinji turned around and looked at Rei. "What do you mean?" "Do you not wish to stay here for the night? It is not good for you to go back out in the rain." Shinji blushed a little. "Uh Ayanami. I know they did it in the movie, but it wouldn't be right. And, I don't want to impose." Rei just stood there. "I did not get anything from a movie Ikari. I invited you so you are not imposing either." Shinji tried to figure out if he should stay or not. Then, he decided to stay, thinking it might hurt Rei's feelings if he didn't even though it would not have hurt Rei at all. "Ok. I'll stay." "You do not have to if you do not wish to Ikari." "No I do it's ok." Shinji decided to sleep on the floor. Rei let him use an extra blanket that she had incase it got really cold. In the middle of the night Shinji had yet another bad dream. It was strange. He was half awake so he knew he could not scream, but at the same time he was asleep. He tried not to scream, but he could not help it he woke up crying. "Every time I sleep the dreams get worse." "You should see a doctor." Rei's voice came out of nowhere and Shinji fell over. Unfortunately, what he didn't realize was that Rei's voice was right beside him. He basically rolled on top of her. "Ahh!" Shinji leaped up from the blanket when he realized that Rei was laying next to him. "What is wrong?" "Sorry Ayanami. You scared me." Rei sighed and then decided to go back to her bed. 'I guess trying to calm him down didn't work.' Rei started to go back to her bed when Shinji spoke up. "I am sorry." Rei turned around. "For what Ikari?" Shinji sat on the blanket. "I didn't mean to be rude. I was just a little shocked to see you so uh close." Rei sat next to him. "We should rest. It is early." With that Rei lay on the blanket and cuddled close to Shinji. He blushed a little, but wrapped his arms around Rei and they fell asleep together. Free from painful memories and dreams.
Ok I said it would be short but it was long. Sorry. I got going and I couldn't stop. Anyway, GENDO DID NOT AND WILL NOT DIE. I AM SORRY IF ANYONE WAS EXCITED ABOUT THAT. Anyway, I will not be able to write as much. I will be going to school in a week so I may get another chapter in, but it is not likely. READ AND REVIEW!
