Don't own EVA or any characters in this story. Well maybe some of them they I just thought up randomly.

"It's on your right baka!"

"WHY MUST YOU INSIST IT'S ON MY RIGHT! I swear every time you say that I always get hit!" Shinji avoided another shot from behind him. 'Maybe that's a good idea'

"I swear if the two of you don't shut up I'm going to put my foot so far up your asses that you will have toe nails for teeth!"

"Where did you come up with that Misato?" Maya asked giggling. "Sound like what the Americans would say to their kids."

"Achaa.." Misato smacked herself after seeing the angel hitting Unit 01 again. "This is just not my day..."

"Give me someone I can work with! She is impossible!" Unit 01 dogged another attack. "No respect!" after another shot from the angel Shinji moved forward and shot another round of bullets into the angel. "This thing is no use!"

"I could have told you that!" Asuka dropped her gun and pull out her knife, and ran forward. "Move your ass!"

Just as he was about to move the angel extend its lanky arms around Unit 01 and pulled Shinji in front of it. It was too late for him to move, and he knew it was too late for Asuka to stop her attack. He waited for the pain and he was rewarded. He felt the knife going right through him and into the angel. With its last breath, the angel detonated itself, trying to take Shinji with it.

The world around Shinji began to darken. Beside him he could hear a whispering voice of someone he recognizes. To his surprise it wasn't his mother, but...Rei.

Her body close around him in an embrace and pulled him into her in a protective position. "No one shall harm you."

"Rei..." He closed his eyes and felt himself swept away by the waves of protectiveness.

"How is he doing" Misato turned away from the sight of Shinji, and looked at her friend.

"We aren't sure just yet." Akagi Ritsuko has never been unsure about anything in her life; other than of course a certain lover, but this was completely different. 'It's always the Ikari's..'

"What should we do!" Asuka jumped in. "The longer he stays like he might not recover"

"Don't you think we know that?" Maya yelled furiously from where she sat. She never have thought she would be holding his hands again, but now she really didn't care what people thought about her and the sleeping young man. "It's not like we aren't trying our best"

"Well your best isn't good enough! I want him back!"

"You aren't the only person that cares about Shinji, Asuka. We all do. We are doing everything we can to get him back." seeing Asuka calmed down a bit, Ritsuko went back to check on Shinji. "All we can do now is waiting for him to come out of this coma."

"...Shinji"

---------

"The room was rather small, but just perfect for the couple in the bed. Tokyo has never been so beautiful in the summer. Shinji looked out at the winder from were he laid down, and smiled at the soft afternoon light that penetrates it. The noise from the outside was almost unbearable but he loves hearing the people; passionate people going about work. The crowed street of Tokyo has never been so refreshing to Shinji even though sometimes he's so tired to listen to them bicker all the time. Everything almost seem to be completely opposite of everything he dreamt about. In that dream were people he knew. But they were completely different in personalities."

Rei...what's happening to me?

'They want you back Shinji. But I wouldn't let them have you.' I don't know, but I rather like the result. You are warm.

Haha, thanks. I try to be when I can. But you are warm too Rei. "He snuggles in closer to her, burying himself further into her embrace." I'm so happy we decided to sleep in today. I don't really want to go to work. Dad said that he has new people coming into today and we're supposed to train them. I told him they can just follow the crew around, cause we are taking a day off. I'm not really sure how he expects me to teach people about working in a grocery store. Dad's being a pain in the butt again.

He loves you Shinji and your mother too. I can see it in their eyes every time they look at you. He just wants to let you know that he trusts you. "Rei leaned back on her pillow, and pulled him in a little more, enjoying his soft breath against the nape of her neck."

I guess so. And I love them both too. "He chuckled and looked up at her with a gentle smile." You want to know who else I love. "He pulled himself up on his elbow"

No, tell me. "She grinned, fully knowing the answer, but always loved it when he told her the answer"

Well there's Misato, and then Asuka, sometimes I love Maya too, when she's not drunk. And then there's Hikari and her sisters...Ouch! "He laughed after receiving a smack from Rei.

I hate you. "Rei pouted and turned away from him. Almost grinning as Shinji moves in and pulled her into his chest, and giving her a lingering kiss on her neck."

I love you Rei. I love you more than all the riches in the world. More than all the girls I have met or will ever meet. I want to marry you one day. We'll have a bunch of kids that we will be bored with them. But we will love them like my parents love us. I want you to know that no matter what happens to us, whatever the arguments we may have, or how many times we say we hate each other, I will always love you. "He smiled at her, and was surprised to be pounced and passionately kissed by her.

I'll always love you too Shinji. "She smiled at him and rested her head on his bare chest. To be his wife, and have children together, to make their dreams come true, she was swept by the many waves of happiness."

"Unfortunately happiness never seem to last very long. Rei knew that well. Rei can't keep Shinji here for long. But he was happy; happy to forget about all the obligations, and drama in his life. To escape from his destiny, and live happily were both of their dreams. However deep in fortitude of his mind are memories of people that are waiting for him; hoping to get that boy back."

I wouldn't let them have you Shinji.

"Shinji looked at her strangely." Who are they Rei?

Nane monai. "She smiled happily and kissed him softly." You want to go out tomorrow. I know your dad wants us to be back by dinner time for your birthday party but I'm sure we will be back by then.

If it's okay with my mom to take the care. She's always worry to I'm going to scratch it.

Who said you're going to drive it. "She asked playfully."

No way! you drove last time remember! I almost got chewed out by her, luckily dad stopped her from chasing me down the street!

I don't know, I think I like to keep these chapters short. It's already getting crazy as it is. One day I'll put some chapters together. But in the mean time, it's much easier for me to scan over the story. More mistakes to come soon, hopefully.
