Chapter 6 Right Decisions

Shinji wakes up, much to his dismay, the heavy weight is still heavily weighted on his body. He is too afraid to move the still unconscious body, probably arousing her from her dreams and probably getting called a baka or hentai baka.

(thoughts: hmm. either wait here until she wakes up and getting yelled at anyways, or try to get up and might have an excuse for it.)

Shinji went for the better option. He slowly raised the body, carefully not letting her fall to the ground. Then he gently set her back again, grateful that she has not wakened yet. He lets out a sigh of relief. His heart is still troubled from everything. No one has come to help him, no one cares. Everyone that cared about him either died, or left him. The more he lingered on the situation, the more his burden seemed to get. He finally decided it would be best if he went to the sunset spot that Misato showed him when he first met him. There he will spend time and sort things out.

Shinji gently slides open the door, peeking out to see if anyone's up yet. He checks both ways, then gently walks to the end of the hallway.

"Shinji." Masato whispered.

Shinji slowly looks around. His guardian is standing right out of her room. Somehow, she came out without him noticing.

"Don't worry, I'm just go for a walk, I'll be back, don't worry. There's nothing to worry about right?" Shinji said half-heartedly.

"Yeah." Misato replied.

Shinji turns around and gets ready for a long day outside. As he walks out of the apartment, Misato makes a sly smile and goes around the apartment to and fro, preparing things.

After a while, Shinji arrives at the sunset place that he enjoyed coming before Third Impact. Even though it wasn't nearly close to sunset time, it still had beautiful scenes of Tokyo-3, lying beyond him. He just stares at the lonely city for a long time, letting the cool breeze play with his hair. He takes a few deep breaths, lies down on the grass and closes his eyes. Immediately, images of Third Impact starts flooding his mind. He opens his mind again, just to make sure it wasn't happening all over again. He stares blankly at the sky, only letting one gentle word out of his mouth. "Asuka."

* Back at the Katsuragi Residence *

(ding-dong)

"Coming," Misato said.

She opened the door, and there stood Rei. It gave a little shock to Misato. Of all people that she knew, Rei was the least possible person to be visiting her at this time.

"Is Ikari here?" Rei asks.

"Oh Shinji, no. he needed some time, so he went out for a while." Misato replied.

"Do you know where he is?" Rei asked.

"Well, at this point, I bet he went to the sunset spot that I showed him that overlooks Tokyo-3.

"Thanks," Rei says and turns off.

(Weird, Misato thinks to herself.)

* At Sunset place * ________________________________________________________________________

(step. step.. step.)

A blue haired girl approaches the sleeping form of Shinji. He is still unaware of the girl's presence. It was when she finally sat down and squeezed Shinji's hand, that he begin to stir. Shinji slowly opens his eyes, and noticing that must have slept a very long time, how long, he doesn't know. He changes his focus to what was holding his hand. He followed the hand up a arm and finally looking at the person's head. He couldn't see clearly, the sun was directly behind the person's head.

"Mom?" Shinji whispers silently. "No." Rei replies slowly.

At the realization of the voice, Shinji almost jumps up, but cools himself down. He slowly sat up, and was finally able to see the face, of his close friend, Rei Ayanami. He looks back down at his hand again, and immediately starts to blush.

"Umm. Rei," Shinji said nervously.

"Yes," Rei said.

"I was just kinda wondering. could you let go of my hand?" Shinji finally stammered.

"Oh." Rei starts to blush a tiny bit as well.

"So, what're you doing here anyways. did you know I was up here?" Shinji asked.

"Oh, right. I came here to tell you about Third Impact, and about your choice and how it's causes and affects." Rei said informingly.

"Wait, doesn't everyone know already?" Shinji said confusingly.

"No. what they think they know were all inserted by the Evas. You had to confront the Evas yourself, and had to make a decision, am I not correct?" Rei asks.

"Uh, yeah, that's right. Then why does Misato say that my father has somehow stopped it." Shinji asked, still confused.

"That is part of what the Evas meant them to know. No one knows the truth about what happened after Third Impact. Only you, me and Asuka know the true ideal." Rei answers. * Meanwhile in the Katsuragi Resident *

Misato was still running to and fro preparing things. In Asuka's room, she begins to stir. She slowly picks herself from her bed, and looks up. She looked around, and noticed it was her own room. Shinji wasn't around. This made her a little worried. Is this my room? Has all the stuff though. All of a sudden, Misato comes running in, making Asuka jump up almost to the ceiling and yelling.

"WHAT THE HELL!?!?!" Asuka yelled.

"What???" Misato asked.

"Aren't you dead?" Asuka said rather directly.

"Excuse me, do you want me dead?" Misato said rather annoyingly.

"No, but it's so confusing, what happened?" Asuka asked, "one thing Third Impact occurred, I was with Shinji. Where is Shinji?"

"Oh, he just needs time along I guess." Misato said.

* Back to the Sunset Place *

"Does the Evas and all this have to with my Mother?" Shinji asked almost silently. "Well, that was another thing I needed to tell you about," Rei said in surprise.

Shinji looked up.

"I've been thinking of my mom lately. I've felt her with me most the time, but I don't know where. I have seen her physically after Third Impact when everyone became one." Shinji said sadly.

"You have always been with her, even though you don't know it. You have seen her die. Every time you go into the Eva, you feel her presence, because she is, I guess you can say, the Eva." Rei replied.

Shinji just stared at her blankly for a few moments. (Thoughts: How did she know about this anyways, how does she know that I saw my mom die in Eva 01 when I was a kid?)

"How do you know this anyways." Shinji asked confused.

Rei just simply points to her chest, pointing at the location that was seemingly the heart. Then she pointed at her temple. Shinji, watching this with complete confusion, got nothing of it. Rei noticing this, started to speak.

"Well you see, I was not pure human." Rei said.

"uh," that was all Shinji could say.

"You see, I am a clone, and I have many copies of myself. you know this, don't you?" Rei asked.

Shinji nodded.

"I was created by using some of the cells from your mother, a little from your father, with a little from Lilith. So I'm, as you can say, a clone daughter of your parents. or our parents.

Shinji just stared at her. The sounds vibrating as he listened to her every word. He thought he was going to faint, but kept consciousness. He looked at her with bewilderment.

"You still don't get it?" Rei asked a little impatiently this time.

"No." Shinji said, "So you mean, that. uh. you're like my sister then."

Rei just nodded slightly. Shinji just stared a little more. The only words he could get out were-

"Is there anything else. to this thing?" Shinji asked.

"Yes, just two more," Rei said, "First, the Evas are still intact and working."

"What. they are." Shinji said angrily.

"Yes, but the only reason is that you still have to pilot it, plus you have to fight SEELE to the end," Rei said.

"Wait, how do you know anything about this?" Shinji asked.

"I used to be a part of Lilith and I saw things in the past, the present, and a little into the future." Rei said.

"Wait, used to be part of Lilith?" Shinji asked.

"Yes. When you wished everything to be normal again. I was no longer part Angel. I'm pure human now." Rei said, with a tiny amount of happiness.

"So, this mostly all has to refer back to a decision I made, right.?" Shinji asked.

"Yes," Rei replied.

Shinji sighs a little. Thinking that everything that happened was mostly about the Angels and Evas.

"I guess I'll accept the things as it is. sister." Shinji said awkwardly.

"Yeah. brother," Rei said with a small smile only for Shinji.

They look at each other, passing knowing glances. Then they pull each other into a tight embrace, one that is only used for family uses. They stayed that way for a very long time. They finally broke it. A siren broke them out of their trance. They looked at the city. Finally noticing that the siren was the signal that the cities are coming up again. They also noticed they lost track of time, it was already sunset. It was the most beautiful he has seen so far. Shinji looks at Rei.

"Rei, why don't we go look at the sunset?" Shinji asks.

"That would be great brother," Rei said happily.

"Don't call me brother, call me Shinji by my first name. Don't call me Ikari either, sounds too informal," Shinji said. "Okay, Shinji," Rei said as she smile warmly at her brother.

They both walked to the walk rails and leaned on it, bending forward and looking at the sunset, on looking the city. It was the first sunset that they seen as brother and sister.

"I guess I made the right decision," Shinji looks at Rei.

Rei just looks back and smiles, and looks back to the city.

Finally it was getting a little dark, and they parted.

"Hey, Rei, see you around more, okay, you're my sister. Don't stay in the house too long," Shinji says.

"Okay, Shinji," Rei replies.

They both on their separate ways. As Shinji walked back to his apartment, he was thinking, WOW, so many things happen in one day. Before he knew, he was already at the front steps of the apartment without knowing it. He opened the door. It was all dark gloomy. He thought to himself, (hmmm, they must've gone to sleep. Wait; isn't it a little bit early though?) As he thought this, he walked into the living room. At that moment, the lights went on, streamers flew to and fro, people that he knew like Toji, Kensuke, Hikari, and. Asuka yelling "HAPPY 16th BIRTHDAY!" Asuka's awake! All of a sudden, Rei opens the door and walks in. (thoughts: What the.)
