Wings of an Angel

Chapter III Start of a New Life

ARG I AM A BLOODY IDIOT! That and I though the term san was used only for formalness. Great…I am a bloody idiot. Well anyways, I hoped that you enjoyed the last chapter. And sorry for the long delay, but I've starting writing yet another story. It's another Evangelion Fanfiction, but this is a cross over. It's called The Price for Freedom. So that totals up to 3 major projects. Well anyways I hope that you guys enjoy this one just as much.

Ayanami: Thank you for pointing that out, btw, do you happen to know the term used in terms of lovers?

Chaos666: Don't worry, the Gendo you knew and hate in the series is nothing like that in my story. You'll meet him soon enough. The grammatical errors and spelling errors sometime slip past me, but at least it's not a huge mess.

Laser Crusader: Yes indeed, a beautiful date if I do say so myself. And thank you so much for the compliment.

gunman: The grammatical errors like I said before sometime slip past me. And why the heck would I want to interrupt such a beautiful date eh? Besides the party crashers would only kill my story. And lastly, you will soon know the identity of Adam and Lilith.

BRANCCH: You guessed correctly. I based my fanfic on what I read in the first story. And yes, too bad all of the stories were perverts and the like. And she even suffered in all of them. And yes I know I'm rushing this, but I have an entire storyline setup already, hence why I rushed it. I promise you that you will not be disappointed though.

As the two were in the elevator Shinji wrapped his arms around Rei's waist as she leaned her back against his, one hand holding his entwined hands caressing the skin with her thumb while her other hand held the bag that contained her new dress. She didn't want the moment to end but she knew once the 4th floor came all this would end and she could become a slave of sexual servitude again.

When they reached the 4th floor Rei made to leave the elevator but she couldn't move as Shinji help her, "Shinji-kun, this is my stop," Rei spoke, feeling highly confused.

"I know, but there's something I want to show you first," he calmly replied. She didn't like the way he smiled nor spoke. She was starting to get scared, but nodded anyways and prayed it's just her imagination. When they reached Shinji's floor he asked her to close her eyes. Now she was downright afraid. She feared that she was going to suffer for opening her heart. For she worried that Shinji might've had friends waiting in his room the whole time just so that they could all have sex with her. However she was in a powerless position and her did as she was told. They entered his room, and as she was guided through, she heard one more door open, walked through and stopped abruptly.

"Okay, you can open your eyes now," she heard Shinji say. Taking a deep breath and preparing for the worst, she opened her eyes. She let out a small gasp as she looked around. All of her possessions, her bed, wardrobe, desk, everything was there. Even her toiletries were there. She quickly approached the wardrobe and opened it to find it bare save for a few uniforms and a few skirts, all which she noticed had the hemming undone.

She turned around facing Shinji in bewilderment, "Shinji-kun, what's going on?"

"Isn't it obvious? We're roommates now," he replied giving her a goofy grin.

"But how did you…"

"I had the Section 2 agents move everything save for your prostitute clothes. I also had them fix your clothing," he put up a hand as Rei tried to speak, "I did this for two reasons," holding up his index and middle finger, "One, for your protection. Two, so that people on the 3rd, 4th and 5th floor can sleep. Your morning and evening moans and groans have been pissing people off," laughing at the last comment as he waited for Rei's response.

Before he knew it Rei had pulled him into a fiery kiss, her tongue entering his mouth instantly. After getting over his surprise he melted into the kiss, his tongue caressing hers as he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her in, deepening the kiss. As before the kiss burned of a fiery passion that burned deep into their soul.

They soon broke the kiss, staring into each others eyes as Rei quietly whispered, "Thank you so much."

"It's no problem Rei-chan," Shinji replied, "Let's get some sleep. I'll be in the next room; the bathroom is the door on the right." He kissed Rei on the forehead as he bid Rei good night and walked out. Rei sighed contently as she put away her new sundress before taking off her own clothes and hung them inside her wardrobe. She looked at herself in the full length mirror now hanging on the door, examining herself now only clad in her bra and panties.

'Now that I think about it, I do look a lot nicer without all the make-up and hiding my natural hair length,' she thought to herself placing her hand over her chest, 'What is it I feel here for Shinji? Is it love? It has to be, because I've never felt like this before. Not even with him. But can I devote all my time to him? I still have to fear for my life. However he did promise me protection. I think I will stay for now unless things go awry.' She smiled looking at herself before getting into her bed letting sleep take her.

That night she was haunted by nightmares. She ran down a dark alley, behind her three men were close on her. She screamed for help but not voice came. But in her mind she prayed for Shinji or anyone else to help her. She had reached and dead end and turned to see all of three men looming over her, laughing evilly. They attacked as they drew knifes cutting her clothes off as they enjoyed her soft body. She cried her heart out silently as the pain of her breasts being squeezed, the hard caress of the men's rough hands against her womanhood and the rough lips against hers and the rest of her body filled her with fear and despair as she slowly surrendered to the whims of her assailant. Just as she thought all hope was lost she hears the familiar warm voice of Shinji as he stood behind the three as anger flashed in his eyes. All three stood up snickering. Shinji charged all three with a roar but only to meet two blades in his torso, another slitting his throat. He crumpled upon the ground as he laid there in a pool of his own blood. They turned on her again snickering as one revealed his erected manhood positioning himself before her entrance. Her eyes widened in fear as she knew what was to come. She cried in fear but to of no avail as something was still preventing her from making a sound. She tries to move but remains paralyzed in fear. Tears burn down her cheeks as her assailant prepares to enter her. Next thing she knows, she feels a pain between her legs, screaming bolting upright. Moments later Shinji stormed in to see Rei in her bed, he facing buried in her hands.

He sits down next to her, gently placing a hand on her shoulder, "Rei-chan, what happened?" She suddenly looks up, her face wet from sweat and tears, her eyes shot from crying, her nose red, and stars into his cobalt eyes. She instantly dives into Shinji, burying her head into his neck embracing him tightly as she cried. Shinji held her tightly, one hand stroking the back of her head gently as she wept.

After a while longer, Rei had cried herself to sleep. Shinji made sure she was asleep before he pried her hands off himself and gently laid her down and pulled the sheets over her. He turned around and was about to walk out the door when a rustling drew his attention towards Rei's bad again. She had woken up.

"Shinji-kun, please don't go," she pleased quietly, "I want to sleep in your arms."

"I guess so considering you just had a nightmare," he replied, "However your bed won't fit us both. Let's sleep in my room." Rei was more than happy to oblige. As she got out of bed she heard Shinji gasp. Looking down she realized that her tattoo was showing plain as day. It was the head of a white dragon, its head over her chest just above her valley, as it seemed to have crawled over he left shoulder.

Knowing she couldn't hide it any longer, Rei asked, "Do you wish to see the rest?" Shinji merely nodded as Rei turned around revealing the rest of the dragon, all across her back. The tail just above the right cheek rose up diagonally along her back going over her left shoulder. The left arm reached around, its clawed hand on her arm. The other arm went up along her spine stopping at the base of her neck.

"Do you like what you see Shinji-kun?" Rei asked, as a small smile crept up along her face.

Shinji stood there in awe as he quietly whispered, "Rei Ayanami the White Dragon." Rei blushed at Shinji's comment but smiled contently. Shinji held out his hand which Rei took as he led her to his room. It was simple, a twin bed by the window, a desk, a wardrobe, and a cello case leaning against the wardrobe. They climbed into Shinji's bed. Shinji then wrapped his arms around Rei as she snuggled herself closer to him.

"Shinji-kun, thank you for everything."

"You are very welcome, Rei-chan."

The following morning they woke up staring into each other's eyes, "Morning beautiful," Shinji murmured. Rei responded by snuggling her head more into Shinji's chest. However the moment was somewhat ruined by a dull yelling from downstairs.

Rei smiled as she spoke, "Looks like one of Kensuke's clients doesn't get his morning sex." Shinji couldn't help but laugh. They stayed in bed for a moment longer before reluctantly deciding to get out of bed.

"Rei-chan, you go shower first while I make breakfast and lunch okay?" Rei simply nodded. She went back into her room, pulled out a set of fresh undergarments and her uniform, and went into the bathroom. Once inside she quickly took off her undergarments and threw them into a hamper she noticed under the counter. She stepped into the tub and turned on the shower head as she let the warm water run down her body.

Fifteen minutes later she comes out and looks to her right as her nose is greeted by the delicious aroma of eggs, bacon, toast and a few other various delectable scents she could only guess. Rei smiles as she sees Shinji setting down the cutlery and walks up to him. Shinji sees her and gives her a warm smile which she returned.

"It smells good," Rei commented, "However something I failed to mention is that I'm a vegetarian. That and I hate meat and any by-products of such."

"Oh no, anything involving meat is for me," Shinji calmly responded, "I fried some vegetables for you. I had S2 look up your diet," Rei frowned at his comment, "Don't worry, if there is anything else I want to know about you, I plan to ask you," he added quickly. He then ran into the kitchen and came out with two plates in his hands. Both had eggs and toast, yet one had bacon and sausages, while the other had hash browns and other various vegetables. The both quietly enjoyed breakfast as words seemed to have lost all meaning. Shinji quickly took a shower before packing an obento into his pack, and then headed off to school.

When they arrived, Shinji had his arm wrapped around Rei's shoulder while she had hers around his chest. When they arrived at the school gates they saw Hikari and Asuka run up to them.

"So, had fun?" Asuka asked innocently. Rei nodded, smiling broadly yet again.

"Mein gott, you look different Wonder Girl," Asuka commented.

"You really do Rei," Hikari agreed, "Without all that disgusting make-up and your hair down, plus that down right beautiful smile, you look drop dead gorgeous!"

Rei couldn't help but blush, "Thanks a lot you two."

"As much as we all like to compliment my girlfriend here," he piped up, "Class is about to start. We better head in." All three girls nodded as the four of them entered the building. When they got into their classroom, Rei and Shinji sat down together mindlessly talking until they were interrupted by a very angry Kensuke.

"WHERE THE FUCK WAS YOU? I GOT A FUCKING CALL THIS MORNING FROM TOJI SAYING THAT HE NEVER GOT HIS MORNING FUCK! NOW EXPLAIN YOURSELF BITCH!" The whole class went dead silent after his outburst.

"I do not need to answer to you," Rei replied flatly, "However I am in a good mood this morning. I moved out last night."

"WHAT?" he yelled out in bewilderment, "You will tell me where the fuck you live you little bitch!" He grabbed Rei's arm but felt his wrist crack forcing him to let go.

"I did warn you," Shinji growled in the same voice he had used the day before, "Touch, OR harm Rei, which you did," his voice suddenly intensified, "I WILL MAKE YOU REGRET IT!" He suddenly threw Kensuke into the neighboring desks.

"Any of you perverts who try to abuse Rei again," pointing to the heap that was Kensuke, "You will end up like him, OR WORSE!" Kensuke got up throwing his broken glasses away, wiped the blood from his nose and grabbed his neck. Shinji was about to counter when he saw the door open, he decided to let the sensei handle the problem.

The door slid open and before anyone knew it, 'WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!" Kensuke released Shinji and looked at the sensei in horror as he realized he was about to suffer horribly.

"Would someone mind explaining this?" the sensei growled impatiently.

"I can explain umm…," Asuka called out forgetting she didn't even know the sensei's name.

"I am Misato Katsuragi," the purple haired woman replied, "However I expect ALL of you to call me Katsuragi-sensei. Now start talking!"

Asuka gulped before responding, "Kensuke attempted to hurt Rei, the blue haired girl, but Shinji, the one with dark brown hair, defended her. The result was Kensuke choking Shinji when you arrived here Katsuragi-sensei." Misato looked over in Shinji's direction. He was haunch over, one hand on his knees while the other was massaging his neck.

"Shinji, Rei, I wish to speak to you two during break," she calmly spoke, eliciting a nod from both of them, "As for you Kensuke," Misato barked out causing him to jump back in surprised, "I will take you to the headmaster myself. Get this mess cleaned up while I deal with this idiot." Misato instantly grabbed Kensuke by the elbow and started to drag Kensuke out of the classroom.

Shinji finally caught his breath and fell back into his seat, but was still massaging his neck. He then felt a pair of slender arms wrap themselves around his chest as a weight rested itself on his right shoulder. He smiled as he brought his massaging hand down to hold her entwined hands as he kissed her cheek before resting his head against hers. They enjoyed each others company oblivious to the angry stares from the males. However the moment didn't last long as they sensei reentered the class.

"Now with that problem dealt with," Misato mumbled to herself before facing the class, "Alright then, just to reintroduce myself, I'm Misato Katsuragi. I'm going to be your Chemistry and Physics teacher; therefore I'll be teaching you guys for two classes straight. Now let's get started." The class went rather well as Misato taught in an interesting yet informative class on Chemistry. Pretty soon the bell rang indicating the start of break. Shinji and Rei stood up and followed Misato out. They closed the door and Misato stood in front of the young couple, her arms crossed.

"First of all, I am very disappointed Shinji. Shigeru reported seeing you throw that boy head first into the desk! What the hell were you thinking!" Shinji hung his head in shame.

"Katsuragi-sensei, please do not blame Shinji," Rei quietly spoke.

"I already know about your past Ms. Ayanami," she snapped out, "I'm surprised he actually chose to help you, you slut!" Misato spoke out rudely. Rei too hung her head in shame.

However Shinji took it personally, "Don't you dare insult Rei," he growled, "Especially coming from a bloody alcoholic!"

Misato gave him a hard look before responding, "You know fairly well I don't drink until next time. Besides, helping a fucking prostitute? Where's the Shinji I knew who despised them so much that he slapped every single one that hit on him?"

"He's still here," he retorted, "However I chose to take pity on her because she isn't the type to hit on men. See seems to be the one that gets hit on. Besides, who are you to look into my personal life Misato?"

Misato couldn't help but smile, "You haven't changed a bit. You always did get emotional whenever I insult something or someone important."

"Well that's because you're never really sober, and you always and I mean always insult everything and everyone important to me!" Shinji angrily growled as he turned around and stormed back into the classroom, slamming the door behind him.

Rei who had remained silent decided to speak up, "Katsuragi sensei, I do not mean to be rude but what is your relation to Shinji-kun?"

Misato smiled at Rei, "First of all, I apologize for calling you a slut. It just seems out of the ordinary for Shinji to even converse with prostitutes."

Rei nodded in acceptance and agreement, "That is true. He told me he greatly despises them. But however, like you said, his actions seem out of the ordinary, is possibly due to the fact that I am not your ordinary slut. I was forced into this line of business, and I only do what is needed."

Misato understood, satisfied with that she continued, "And as for your question, I am his god mother. I've known him for 20 years, since I was 15."

"I see," was all Rei could say.

"Better head inside," Misato stated, "You better calm your boyfriend down. He's very volatile once I or someone disses people who are important to him." Rei nodded compliantly as the two entered the classroom. Misato plopped down into her seat and pulled out a magazine from her back and starts reading. Rei on the other hand sits next to Shinji. His elbows were propped up on the desk, his face in his hands.

Lost in his own thoughts, he was suddenly drawn out from the chasms of his mind as a pair of arms, one around his shoulders the other around his waist, wrapped themselves around him. He looked to his left, barely uncovering his face to see Rei look at him worriedly.

"Shinji-kun, please do not be angry," she quietly pleaded, "I like it when you smile. Plus you scare me when you are angry, like you are now. Plus from what I can tell, Katsuragi-sensei is a good person. She does not seem to be the type to hurt you on purpose."

Shinji looked at her darkly which caused Rei to flinch a bit, "Yeah so what? We rarely get along. For a time we did. But eventually we just started fighting. Oddly enough it was 6 years ago when her drinking habits got worse. It got really bad when I was 16," he voice was quiet and had a dark edge to it, "The last four years haven't been pleasant." He let out a heavy sigh as he leaned back on his chair and closed his eyes.

Rei was hurting a bit inside. She wanted to help her boyfriend, but he seemed to be shutting her out. However she figured that it was hi right considering she was also withholding personally information as well. She decided to let Shinji be and handle him later, and opted to look out the window for the time being. Somehow looking out the window gave her a sense of release. As if her soul could leave her body and frolic freely outside for a time before being dragged back into the world of sex and prostitution. However that sense to seem to elude her. She let out a heavy sight of her own as she turned attention towards the front of the room.

Second period went by rather slowly for some people who noticed that Shinji and Rei seemed to be distant from one another. No seemed to really care, however Hikari and Asuka were on of the few who were worried. They feared if Shinji stopped caring about Rei, it'll break her heart, possibly throwing her into depression leaving her vulnerable. They knew they had to do something unless they wanted Rei to become the whore she feared she might one day become.

When lunch started, Rei took Shinji to someplace private in the school garden. She took him to a small gathering of trees which blocked direct line of sight. After she felt they were alone, she gave Shinji a hard look as she spoke.

"Shinji-kun," she spoke sternly with a hint of worry and concern, "Why are you giving me the cold shoulder? You offered your hand in friendship, your arms for protection and your heart for me. Now it seems you are a cold hearted bastard," she then softened her expression and voice, "Shinji-kun, I am your girlfriend. What's wrong? You can tell me. Maybe I can help."

Shinji couldn't help but smile at Rei's bluntness and her show of concern, "I'm sorry Rei-chan. It's the fact that Misato called you a slut, although I knew she didn't mean it, and the fact that every male in the school lusts for you, I don't know how I can always protect you. I mean, think about today. I was only able to protect you from Kensuke, but yet I couldn't protect you from Misato's words. Taking care of a few people is fine, but once everyone comes on it's really difficult to keep up."

Rei gently kissed Shinji on the lips before speaking in a soothing voice, "Do not worry Shinji-kun. I know that you have your limits. Even if you try your best, you will lose at one point or another. I can live on, so long as you are with me. That is what matters."

"Thank you Rei-chan," Shinji replied as Rei snuggled herself into Shinji as he wrapped his arms around her, "You really are a dragon. You are strong when you need to be and you are wise." Rei smiled broadly at the compliment, remembering the exact same comment her father gave her the day she received the tattoo.

"You wanna know something I'm glad about?" Shinji asked as Rei inclined her head, "I knew this school has a huge rep of being a prestigious school; however my dad told me beneath the prestige was nothing more than a whorehouse. He studied here for a semester before transferring. When I transferred here my dad warned me. I would've listened to him but something made me come here." He tightened his grip on Rei as she snuggled closer to him.

"I guess that reason was you Rei-chan. I'm glad I came here. I meet a beautiful girl in dire need of help on my first day, and get her to be my girlfriend by the end of the night." Rei smiled planting a kiss on his lips again. Happy that their relationship was back on track, Shinji pulled out the obento he packed earlier that day, and opened up revealing a selection of foods in which Shinji and Rei enjoyed eating for the remainder of the lunch period. The rest of the day went by smoothly.

That afternoon as Shinji and Rei were walking home, they were approached by a group of boys led by a guy in a tracksuit, "Where the hell were you bitch?" the boy in the tracksuit growled.

"I am not a doll that'll bed to your every whim Toji Suzuhara!" Rei scathingly replied, "And I will never will, ever again."

Toji smirked at her defiance, "You don't have a choice in the matter wench." Toji reached out to grab Rei when Shinji instantly grabbed his arm.

"Let go of me weakling," Toji growled threateningly.

Now it was Shinji who smirked, "Touch me, or here, I will do worse than what I did to Kensuke. I'll warn you right now I held back in the classroom. You won't be so lucky." Toji had enough as he used his free arm to punch Shinji. He responded by letting go of his arm, grabbed the offending arm with his right hand, turned his body sideways and pulled it across his chest. As he pulled Toji's arm across his chest, he forcefully brought his left palm up, smashing it into his elbow. It was followed by a sickening crush as Shinji had smashed the bones in the elbow as well as the surrounding bones. Toji screamed in pain, clutching his right arm with his left hand.

"I warned you that I would hurt you worse compared to Kensuke," Shinji smirked as he spoke, "Apparently from the sound of the bones breaking I destroyed your elbow," he then faced the rest of Toji's crew, "You guys had better back off unless all of you want similar injuries!"

Toji smirked as he growled, "Get him," instantly five boys jumped at Shinji. He reacted by pushing Rei clear from harms way and took up a defensive stance. The first two were instantly winded as Shinji rammed his fists into their abdomens. Another received a kick in the jaw, flipping back as he did. As he landed, he tornado kicked one straight into the wall. Next thing he knew someone had slammed and pinned him into the ground. Just as fast as the weight had landed on him it was ripped off him just as forcefully. He turned onto his back to see 5 people in suits fighting against Toji's men.

As the fight came to a conclusion, Rei rushed up to Shinji and helped him up. However as he stood up he left out a yelp of pain. They looked at Shinji's leg to find that he hand hurt his left ankle. Rei instantly sat him down against the wall, took off his shoe and sock and started to feel his ankle hoping it was broken. Satisfied his ankle was only sprained, Rei gently slipped on his sock where they were approached by one of the suited fighters. She was tall and slender, with lavender hair tied up into a bun. She took of her sunglasses to reveal herself.

"Katsuragi-sensei?" Rei whispered.

Misato smiled as she spoke, "First of all, outside of school call me Misato. Secondly, my squad is assigned to watch over you two," she then lowered herself to help Rei lift Shinji, "I'll drive you two back to the apartment, but you two are on your own afterwards. You will have to get him upstairs by yourself. We are only to step in and help only if necessary. Now let's get you two, home." The rest of the squad had dispersed by the time Shinji and Rei were inside Misato's car. As they rode to their apartment, Shinji had fallen asleep, his head leaning on top of Rei's head.

When they arrived home, Rei helped Shinji out of the car, pulled out their school bags, and then watched Misato drive off into the distance. Glad they didn't have to worry about stairs, to enter the building; they walked along the path and entered. As they waited for the elevator to reach their floor, Rei started to giggle.

"What's so funny Rei-chan?" Shinji asked curiously.

When she could recompose herself she responded, "The fact that I was booked solid for 5 months. Now Mr. Aida will be receiving tons of complaints," she started to laugh really hard, "I was their number on 'product'. Without me, they're going to get a lot of shit," she managed to say in-between her laughing fit. Shinji was simply glad that she was smiling more. It suited her greatly.

When they got inside their room, they dropped of their bags and shoes. Shinji with difficulty made their way into the living/dining/kitchen room and sat down on the couch. He sat down with his back against the arm of the while Rei laid herself on him, her head on his chest. They sat there, his arms around her waist, her hands caressing the skin of his forearms, enjoying the view of the city being bathed in the late afternoon sun through the balcony window.

A thought then came to Shinji, "Rei-chan, if you want, after the semester ends, you wanna move to Kyoto with me?" her eyes widened in surprised, "The city is clean. My dad ensured that no public or underground whorehouses exist. You can live there carefree. What do you say; will you move there with me?"

Rei turned around and pecked him on the lips, "I'd love to get out of here. I'll hold you to it." Shinji then leaned in as their lips met into another passionate kiss.

Well that concludes this chapter. Again sorry it's taking me so long to have this story updated. But now that I have 3 projects, this is going to be rather interesting. Well anyways, please review; I've disengaged anonymous because I find that rather impersonal. Well anyways that's all from me.
