Chapter Thirty-Nine

Truth and Predictions

Gendo stayed very calm as he removed his glasses, showing his coal colored eyes to Shinji, looked strangely tired.

"This is Rei Ayanami," he said, "She'll be staying with us for a few days. Her apartment was destroyed in the explosion down in Tokyo-3."

Yui put a hand on her heart.

"Is she alright?"

"She was recovering," Gendo said simply.

Rei looked up at them, and one again Shinji found himself staring into the two crimson eyes, but unlike the dangerous look from before, it was pain filled and also with guilt which made him wonder what could have caused it.

"Come in," Yui said.

Both Rei and Gendo walked inside and Rei, to Shinji, has a sword on back on her back as she glanced around taking in the large house.

"Should I add another plate during dinner," Yui asked.

Gendo shook his head.

"It won't be necessary, Rei had already ate," he tod her, "C'mon Rei."

The blue haired girl followed him up the star as Shinji stared after them with curiosity.

Gendo led her straight toward one of the room upstairs. The room was empty except for a few boxes in some corners. A futon was rolled and leaning against the wall.

"Why don't you just give me an apartment like last time?" Rei asked him.

"You won't be staying long," Gendo told her, "As long as I have everything about the building destructions is under wraps. IT was my company that owned them."

"That's still doesn't explain why I have to stay here," Rei growled.

"It's an invitation," Gendo told her, "That way your old pals won't be able to find you as easily as they did."

"As long as I am in the city," Rei told him, "They will always find me."

Gendo stared at her for a while.

"Trust me Rei…as you have done before," he said, "I'll protect you."

Rei watched him for a few minutes and she smiled a tired smile.

"Thank you, Gendo."

The man put a hand on her shoulder, giving her a smile of his own.

Shinji looked up as his dad entered the dining room, still fully dressed but he wasn't wearing his glasses.

"As I said before," he started, "Rei will be staying with us for a while, and I expect you to respect her privacy...Remember to tell your friends that if they ever come here Shinji."

"Of course Father," Shinji answered.

"I best be going then," he said.

"What?" Yui exclaimed, "You're not staying?"

"No," Gendo shook his head, "There is still a lot of work left to be done. I simply drove Rei here."

Yui quickly made a lunch box in record time with a few of her delicious pies before putting it in his hands.

"At least take something to eat with you," she said with a smile.

Gendo seemed frozen for a few minutes before he gave her kiss.

"Thank you, Yui-chan."

HE turned around and Shinji stood up, "Hey Father…can I borrow the BMW?"

Gendo turned toward him, "Why?"

"I have a date with Asuka tonight," he said.

A ghost of a grin crossed the elder Iraki's face.

"Sure," he said, "Good luck on your date."

Lilly was frowning to herself from where she was seated at. She had been scooping the ancient church building for the best part of two hours. They hadn't been much traffic around it , not that she had expected a lot. the things that Elena had told her during the short battle they had still rattle her mind. The girl couldn't possibly right about the return of the God of the Vampires…she couldn't be…if the Vampire Lords were exactly thinking of doing the act…

Which is why I need to speak to him of all people, she thought, he should be aware of it…if they had been a talk about it.

Lilly walked toward the building and entered it. The inside was dark with a few candles that were still lit. She walks down the ancient corridor arriving at a metallic door. She knocked on it twice. The metal slid open few minutes later.

"What is your Path?" a voice asked.

"The light had shun me, and I walk a path of Darkness…never once will I renounce the Darkness's call."

"and the Darkness shall receive you," the voice said as the metallic door creaked open, "IT has been a while Elizabeth."

The figure that was standing across her was dressed in lose clothes, his red eyes glowing in the darkness.

"Hello Light," Lilly told him.

The man, Light, let out a grin, showing his pointed teeth.

"But C'mon in," he said, "I don't believe you have come to catch on old times."

Lilly stepped into the room. It was filled with books and candle lit. Many papers littered the floor, and the wall filled with pictures and illustration of many things.

"You're right I haven't."

Light took a seat on an old chair he had probably just vacant to open the door.

"Are the Vampire Lords really speaking of awakening Vlad Drakul?"

Light froze and look up at her.

"You know something," Lilly pointed out, noticing his looks.

Light leaned forward.

"They have been rumors floating around and about this subject," he said softly, "Where did you hear of this?"

"A vampire Elena dropped by," Lilly told him, "She said that in a few months…but it's hard to tell how long."

"If the Lords are planning to go such lengths to take back the world that was once theirs," Light said, "I can say that it will happen…one way or another."

"You haven't heard anything?"

Light smiled showing his shark-like teeth again.

"I don't really know if it is a rumor or not…but I have heard about something in the Antarctic…something very hush-hushed."

"The Antarctic?"

"Yes," Light told her, "Kaworu was particularly interested in that."

"Kaworu Nagisa," Lilly repeated, "The Mind-Walker?"

"The very same." Light told her.

"But why the Antarctic?" Lilly asked.

"Beyond that, I don't know."

Lilly stopped thinking to herself.

"Can it be stopped? The resurrection I mean?"

Light laughed at that.

"The only way that the resurrection is to be stopped is if the body of Vlad Drakul was to be burned to ashes," he said, "committing such an act…is taboo for every vampires….thinking of such things is even worst…but you won't be doing so after all, the body is hidden in the bowels of Vamperium Castle, protected by spells and traps. Attempting it is folly."

"So it is impossible," Lilly added as an afterthought.

"Nothing is impossible," Light said a dark and mysterious grin on his face, "It's just a promotion of being at the right place, at the right time."

Lilly sighed.

"I guess I shouldn't stay here long," she said, "Thanks for the information anyway."

"Anytime Elizabeth," Light said, "Oh and before you go…there is something that you should tell Rei."

"What is it?"

"SEELE had started to move," Light said, grinning, "She should watch her back…and careful of whom she trust. SEELE have eyes everywhere."

Well hope that was enjoyful HAHA.
