Problem Five: Why we shouldn't lie
In the NERV observation Cafeteria, Yukari finally gets her food; she sits next to Rei and on the other side sits Ritsuko and Misato. The young blue hair girl that is eating; eats as if she has never eaten before, of course in truth she has not. Rei is quit disturbed by the fact that her so called sister is willing to eat meat and to Rei's best guess, Yukari has eaten a whole chickens worth of it.
"That's so horrible." Misato speaks softly as she sips from a cup of coffee. "How could someone be so cruel?"
Ritsuko sigh as she stares at Yukari gorges on a big bowl of Rice next to her sits five empty trays. "We were just as shocked when the Marduk committee sent us the Ayanami history they erased."
Rei looks away from Yukari who is making a fool of her self as she eats like a pig. Misato draws her attention. "Rei, did you know you had a sister."
"No..." Rei leans her head on to her arm and looks out the window. 'I was happier when I didn't have one.'
Seeing Rei not very thrilled Misato smiles. "Come on Rei, you should cheer up, having a sibling can be what you need... Or are you just jealous..."
"I'm not jealous..." Rei nearly stood up saying it. She sits back down crossing her arms. "I am fine it is of no concern, ma'am."
Everyone looks over at Rei, Ritsuko is the only who feels that she shouldn't be teased. "Its okay, it's going to be hard for the both of you."
Yukari finally pulls her head out of her bowel, and smiles at everyone with Rice plastering her face. Rei only glances at her twin being disgusted at what she sees. "I'm done!"
Its one in the morning, Ritsuko sits in front of her computer in her office, it is cluttered and her desk is nearly bowing due to the amount of paper work on it.
"I never seen a near perfect... on a IQ test." After a couple of clicks on her mouse, she frowns. "She scoured higher then I did."
Ritsuko turns and pushes her chair to the other side of her desk, were she has piles of paper.
"Yukari Ayanami, Zero Child, the last of the Rei clones..."
Ritsuko nearly jumps out of her seat when the phone rings off the hook. She once more pushes her chair back, and in mid stride grabs her cup of coffee, and sipping it before picking up her phone.
"Doctor Aka... Well, well..." Ritsuko smirks before she spits her ice cold coffee back into her cup.
"Ritsipoo..." Kaji jests as he leans on a wall just outside a movie theater, by all indication he is in the United States, His cold weather attire also counts for his location. "You wont believe what I heard from a song bird today."
Still sitting, but now playing with two cat statues, Ritsuko relaxes. "Oh I bet I could guess."
Kaji stands and waves to Asuka as she stands waiting in a line to get tickets. She has a think coat on and a blue scarf, blowing kisses at him. Kaji does his best to focus on the phone call and not Asuka. "Zero Child?"
Seeing that she's going to need some help Ritsuko spins her chair over to her piles of papers pulling out one marked Zero Child. "What about her..."
"I just find it funny..." Kaji stops and gives a wink to two passing women. "There was no Zero child until today."
"Wow, Kaji your abilities to pick up the obvious are stunning." Ritsuko takes some time to let Kaji taken in her insult. "Everyone thought she died with the rest of Rei's family."
"Really..." Kaji whispers as he stares into space. "But the Ayanami's were gunned down my Section Two when their daughter was selected, at least that what was first said."
At the same time Kaji speaks, Ritsuko reads to her self in the folder marked Zero Child once Kaji finishes, she nods her head seeing he is on the same page. "Well not many people knew that Rei had a twin, not even she, so it comes to a shock, and she would have been the First child if we had her before. You cannot blame me for what the Marduk Institute did, they selected her as the Zero child. But when she went missing they just never told anyone."
See that the bags of lies are never ending in his friend, Kaji sighs. "What Eva will she pilot?"
"Three, most likely, right now she's just a back up."
Kaji listens in silence as he sees Asuka come running back to him. "Well Ritsuko, this currently changes things, look I have a baby sitting job to take care of." After a few exchanges of goodbyes, Kaji hangs up with a smiling Asuka attached to his arm.
"Who was that, Kaji." Asuka mutters as she snuggles on to Kaji's arm.
Kaji does his best not to trip as he walks to the theater. "That was a friend, of mine. Some interesting news from Japan." He looks to see Asuka really does not care but feels the need to tell her. "The First child's sister was found after being missing for ten years."
"Really..." Asuka whispers as they enter the theater.
"Yup, apparently she was stolen, and was in a coma for ten years." Kaji him self doesn't like the background on the girl. "She's was intended to be the first child so she might become a pilot." Seeing his words not being heard, Kaji sighs.
With the crick of metal on metal Rei's apartment door opens. Rust flakes off the door as Rei takes a step in shortly followed by Yukari who is constantly trying to take Rei's hand but Rei pulls away on each attempt.
"Ah, sis!" Yukari stares at the shambles of an apartment. "You live in this hole."
"Its efficient..."
Yukari does not like her sister's response. "No its not, it's a cesspool." Once more Yukari receives silence as Rei begin to take off her uniform and head to the shower.
Becoming bored at her random thoughts, Yukari decided jumping on the bed would be fun.
A relief Rei has never felt before bestows over her, as the peace that was stool from her, returns. A light sigh is release as she lets her body be sooth by the hot water. 'Why did see have to live, why is she needed when the commander has me.' Rei leans forward and lets the water run down her back. 'She is immature, defiant, childlike, annoying. I... dislike her greatly...'
Rei's woken from her thoughts, when an alarming crash erupts, in her apartment. It is of sound of metal and glass braking. Rei quickly rushes out of the shower, and tops just as she exits to see Yukari covered in the now broken and flipped bed that has managed to smash in to a window and come crashing down on to Rei's dresser were her shrine, for Gendo's glasses once sat.
Slowly and painfully, Yukari crawls out of her mess in the process she causes the bed to smash into the last standing piece of furniture in the area. Yukari looks around then to Rei that stands soaked and naked. She looks to see her fists clenched and her full of rage. "Sorry sis..."
Slowly Rei studies the disaster area with glass and metal all over the floor she spots Gendo's glasses smashed to pieces under one of the bedposts. Her eyes cannot leave sight of her most prized possession destroyed.
Still trying to look innocent Yukari watches as her sister gingerly walks through the shattered glass picking up the broken glasses.
"I guess the bed post makes a good fulcrum after all." Yukari whispers
Rei walks back, feet coved in blood as she approaches her sister. With the stare of hate, Rei slaps Yukari in the face as hard as she can. Yukari can only hold her face knowing she disserved that.
"I didn't mean it... I was just seeing in I could use the bed post as a fulcrum to catapult your pillow."
The reasoning Rie heard leaves her speechless. 'What did she think would happen?' For the first time in Rei's life, she wanted to scream out in anger, but she only knew one way to get her point a cross. She turned around and slapped Yukari again for such a stupid reason.
"I'm sorry!" Yukari holds her cheek not knowing why she struck a second time. "I'm sorry I'm such a bad sister..." Yukari goes to her knees as tears begin to roll down her eyes. 'I want her to like me but... I keep on messing up.'
Rei marches back into the bathroom turning off the water and drying her self, with the sound of her sister crying in the background. After she is dry, she removes the glass from her feet then changes in to her uniform once more. She exits to still see her sister crying uncontrollably on the ground. She ignores her and picks up her satchel to see its contents are all over the ground. She then looks around to see her cell phone on the ground, she goes and picks it up quickly dialing a number. She then looks to Yukari whose scream overpowers any sound.
"Be quiet." Reis soft voice does not shatter the tears and cries her sister is making. "I said be quiet." As soon as Rei hears a ring, she picks her voice up. "Be quiet." Still nothing her sister was unable to stop finally Rei grinds her teeth. "Shut up!"
Yukari's tears slowly wined down to a trickle, as she sniffs and sobs, before she turns to her sister to go and hug her. Rei knocks her to the ground by putting her hand in her face. Rei rolls her eyes when she receives Gendo's voice message. She goes over her number log as she holds Yukari at bay; finally, she discovers that Captain Katsuragi is her only option. She dials the number in frustration looking at the remains of Gendo's glasses in the other hand. Yukari goes to all fours and rubs up against Rei's leg like a cat.
"Katsuragi residence." Ikari's soft tone comes over the receiver, greeting Rei. "Hello?"
Not to let Shinji wait Rei speaks up. "Pilot Ikari, I need to speak with Captain Katsuragi."
"Oh, hi Rei, hold on one second I will get her."
Rei waits as Yukari mumbles to Rei as she takes hold of the girls leg. "Please don't hate me... Please don't hate me."
"Hey, Rei what's wrong." Misato's voice sounds very concerned, as Rei has never called her before her.
"Captain, Pilot Ayanami Reports."
Misato pauses at the use of a reporting statement. "Go ahead Rei."
Holding her anger, Rei coolly speaks to Misato. "Ma'am..." Rei glares at Yukari as she begins to cry again. "Will you shut up, I am on the phone!"
Shinji watches as Misato's hold the phone from her ear. "Rei what's wrong?" Misato calls out to the distraught Rei.
Still attentive as he cleans the dishes, he catches every word Misato says. "Rei are you okay... She what..." Misato begins to laugh. "You do understand her condition... No, I understand that... Look Rei just come on over its obvious your apartment is not livable at the moment so I will get you."
As soon as Misato hangs up Shinji stubbles back to his task concerned about the discussion he heard. Shinji wanted to say something to Misato but could not. He knew all about Rei's sister, how she was taken as a baby and was in a coma since she was four. 'Why would they shoot her?' Shinji knew that the Yellow eyed Rei was not Rei but she had a creepy feeling that she was Rei.
"Shinji." Taken from thought, Shinji looks over to Misato who stands with keys in her hands. "Shinji get ready the spare bed room for Yukari and Rei, there going to spend the night."
"Okay..."
Misato stare at Shinji knowing he wants to know why but will not ask. "Shinji..." All Misato gets a quick gaze of acknowledgment. "Never mind." Misato leaves for her car. 'Shinji really needs a girl friend.'
