Chapter 15

A helping hand

Asuka's eyes widened at what she heard. Rei Ayanami the girl that never had talked to her was trying to comfort her and called her by her name.

"Wonder...I mean...Rei I..."

Asuka paused looking into Rei's eyes never had she seen such emotion in them and they were for her Rei was feeling for her.

"I...I oh Rei I don't know what to do I...Im lost Rei" Mumbled Asuka as she threw herself into Rei's arms her eye's no long able to hold back the tears that wanted to come out for so long.

Rei's eyes showed shock she didn't know what Asuka would do and this was every unexpected but she knew how she felt oh how she knew, they were so a like.

Rei just held on to Asuka like a lost child that lost her parents. Asuka never felt so loved before and here she was in Rei's arm never would she believe that Rei could be so caring as she whispered soothing thing to her calming her.

Shinji stood shocked a little away from the girls. She did it Rei helped Asuka, he had never seen Asuka so helpless. As he looked at her now he almost couldn't believe it.

His gaze turned to Rei. Now as he gazed at Rei she looked so much like a mother comforting her child.

(She will be a great mother one-day)

A smile came to his lips as he thought of Rei being the mother of his children.

It had been a while now that Asuka had stopped crying her silent tears but she still didn't let go of Rei not wanting to move away from the warmth she had not felt for so long.

"Asuka" Whispered Rei soft voice

"Hmmm" returned Asuka moving her head so that it rested on Rei's shoulder.

"We should go somewhere it is getting dark it is not acceptable to be here so late" said Rei even though she had often walked a night before Shinji told her not to.

Asuka slowly stood but not having enough energy she fell if had not been for Rei she would had met the floor. Seeing that Asuka was in no shape to walk Rei put Asuka's arm around her shoulder to keep her up.

Shinji came right away to help putting Asuka's free arm around him.

Kensuke's house

RING...

RING...

"Hello?" Said Kensuke

"Hey man" came a voice

"Touji?...your calling late...did you just get back from being with Hikari?"

"Yea..."

"Oh came on man tell me the details!" Begged Kensuke

"Well we walked on the beach then...Na im not gonna tell ya yet! C-ya!"

Click...

"WHAT...TOUJI!" Screamed Kensuke down the phone

(He better tell me tomorrow!)

Misato's apartment

Asuka had been sleeping for the last hour. Rei was at her side watching and not moving.

(Maybe now she will let me help her...I have surprised myself never have I done this before never have I had to comfort some one it is all so new)

Shinji was in the kitchen making food for every one as Misato had another late night. When Shinji had finished he went to see how Rei was since they had come back Rei had not gone from Asuka's side and that was an hour ago. Shinji always knew that deep down Rei cared for Asuka but when the short-tempered girl was always insulting her she never showed her that she cared.

"Rei-Chan? Are you ok Rei-Chan" asked a concerned Shinji walking up to her.

Rei slowly turned her head and nodded

"Im fine Shinji-Kun"

"Are you sure im really worried Rei-Chan"

Even though Rei knew he loved her it always made her feel so special whenever he worried about her.

Rei gave him her small smile kissed him lightly on the lips. Leaning her forehead on his she said "Im fine"

Shinji just smiled back before kissing her again

"Ok then I'll go and bring something to eat in here ok"

Rei nodded, behind her Asuka started to wake up.

"Rei..." her small voice called also trying to get up

"Asuka don't try to get up" Rei said as she gently pushed Asuka back down onto the bed.

"Thanks...Rei...you know just because were...friends now doesn't...mean im going to be all nice to you..." said Asuka trying to smirk

(That the old Asuka back) thought Shinji as he left them.

Ok there you go now I hope you like it
