Part 1: Blood Sea

Shinji and Asuka were sitting on the beach of the Red LCL Sea. It had been several weeks since the third Impact and the destruction of the world and the forming of the Human Instrumentality. Since Shinji and Asuka had survived being turned into FCL fluid during the Instrumentality and back into humans again by Shinji's free will and desire to live life on his own terms, thus thwarting his Father, Gendo Ikari's and SEELE's goal of a single human consciousness.

Since Shinji had found an injured Asuka on the beach by the "Blood Sea" and nursed her back to health at they had started to become friends and on one occasion Asuka even kissed him. It was then they realized that being the only humans left on the planet, propagation of the species would be a priority, but not until Asuka felt ready to do the "Dirty Deed." They had been able to find a few supplies in the local area which allowed them to stay alive to some degree before they found a farm with a working hand pump that they had both rejoiced and realized they were able to have some fresh non-LCL contaminated water. But slowly, they discovered a small garden that had survived the Third Impact nearby which meant for the time being, they would have fresh food as long as they cared for the plants they were now dependant on.

For weeks they had adapted to living off of the plants they found along the roadside while looking for a suitable place to live. Mostly during that time, they had been eating the instant ramen they had found in a left over convenience store that they past on the side of the road. The ramen had kept them nourished, but the salt in it had made them thirsty for increasing amounts of water. But, knowing what happened after the Second Impact, they needed to find more food supplements before winter came after seeing the sudden change in the seasons starting to come about. The Third Impact had broken free the Weather Freeze they had read about in school and nature was returning to its constant rhythms.

"Shinji," Asuka said as she rolled over on the loose mat they had found to sleep on at the abandoned farm to look at Shinji. This simple comfort for a good night's sleep let them to cope with some of the hardness of the floor in the rubble of the building they now called home. "I miss being at Misato's apartment," Asuka said as she reached out to pull the blanket over her body to force away some of the child of the early morning as her bare leg started to develop Goosebumps.

"I know" Shinji said looking at the ceiling, that was when Shinji decided to look out at the night ski through the broken window. "But, at least you like my cooking."

"Yeah, but it took time for me to like your cooking, Shinji," Asuka said looking out at the sky knowing that her period was just days away and her hormones would be back with a vengeance. She was getting scared.

"Humans have so much to know about the world, they have so much to learn about living," Rei said underwater, as she walked out the LCL Sea. Her naked body started to heave as she started to breathe normally, as she expelled the LCL fluid from her lungs. That was when a nude male joined her. "Kaworu, do you feel that the other Angels desire us to leave?" Kaworu walked over to her and placed a hand into Rei's still wet hair to squeeze out the LCL fluid before he caressed her round face with his hands.

"We, the Angels have much to rebuild as to the Humans." Kaworu said, as he stretched his arms out and embraced her. Unaccustomed to physical contact, Rei was confused, but nature took over and she hugged her fellow Angel/Human Hybrid back, not feeling alone in a long time, before letting go to walk onto the shore and letting the sand slide between her toes.

"The Gulf has been refilled of Angel and Human souls," Rei said as she moved through the sand until they felt the rocks under their feet, as they walked onto shore and noticed how much of herself was experiencing things for the first time and with fear and wonder.

"Now we have to speak with Shinji and Asuka. They must be told about the plan," Kaworu said as he helped her out of the sea. Rei blushed as she realized that Kaworu cared about her and she cared about him as she felt her body warm and parts of her body started to swell in reaction to his touch. This was the feeling she had read about in her books. Desire.

Asuka felt crummy right now from the lack of sleep last night, but, she had shed much of her selfishness since the Third Impact and seeing that she wasn't alone in her pain. Is this what Kaji felt like when he was her age? Shinji had told her that she had to pull her own weight if you want to eat, she hated him for a little while but when her stomach growled, she relented. This was fair, as long as he pulled his own weight when it came to the chores around the farm and the house; which he did, almost feeling like he was in his element here.

Today the stink of the blood sea was filling her nose from the heat of the morning sun. But the good news was Shinji was fishing today and wouldn't have to deal with the stink or the rush or hormones that were now flooding her ever blossoming body. Asuka reached over and took a cloth and wiped at the trail of minstrel blood that was running down her leg from the makeshift tampon she had used.

She liked herbs and the smell of the fish that Shinji made for dinner over the last few nights from the catch he had gotten from the local sea cove. But, the apples and other fruit they had found on the farm had kept her going during mornings like this.

Female hormones rushing and ideas of having sex with Shinji, combined with the wanting to take a cold relaxing bath with some objects, she couldn't know the names to, just so she could feel clean. That was when she saw a figure in the shadows moving towards her.

"Shinji," Asuka called out, as she left some of the herbs in her gathering basket, as she ran over to the figure to see if he was okay.

"Asuka," a very female voice said as the figure came out of the shadows.

"First, child, you back stabbing slut," Asuka said looking at Rei knowing from Shinji that she was half Angel. Then, a moment later, she saw that Rei was walking over to her being rather naked. "Cover up you," Asuka called out in protest to the albino girl.

"Asuka," Rei said walking over into the light, the Angels and Man have made a decision, life will be restored for both sides," Rei said before she started to shiver from the cold, but, the warmth of the day should have kept the albino warm. "Asuka, I need to ..." Suddenly, Rei lay on the ground and started to convulse in pain as her body started to fight against itself and her will to move it the way she wanted. Images of how Asuka's mother died came flooding to her. This living doll of a girl was going to break, just like her mother. The only other person that she had seen since the entire Third Impact looked like she was in the middle of some sort of physical attack by an unseen force trying to tear her apart from the inside out.

"WONDER CHILD, don't die." Asuka ran over to Rei and held her putting behind much of the anger she felt for the blue haired girl and just wanted this person to live.

"Asuka...mother...Adam...Shinji... Kaworu, save me," Rei said as blood started to come out from between her legs in spurted red and orange gushes.

Shinji came out of the water breathing a sigh of relief. His plug suit was now serving as a decent dive suit given its adaptability to the environment having salvaged the backups from Unit Two's storage hatch. Asuka had given him some swimming lessons so that they could tread some water after they were forced to cross a river that didn't have a bridge nearby and since then, Shinji had become an excellent swimmer every time he had gotten into the water. No wonder Rei loved to swim, it felt great. The water felt like home to him, with that, Shinji pulled the mask of his face; the fishing was good today given the large number of fish in his net. Given the number of impacts on the Earth, it seemed that the fish species were actually growing quicker than he imagined and their old habitats were growing like mad. It may have been the number of new reefs forming from the ruins of humanity. But, he felt that the world was putting itself back together after the pain that man had inflicted on the planet.

That was when he saw Rei start coming forward to him out of the water. Her nude body was moving with a supernatural sleekness. It was like he had gotten her perfect body into some serious athletic shape.

"Shinji." Rei came out of the water; her nude body was so like the time he had seen her in her apartment just after she had come out of the shower. He still had dreams about that, the first time seeing a real flesh and blood girl naked.

"Rei," Shinji said seeing her walking up to him.

"Shinji," Rei said as she moved over as another Rei, younger and nearly eight years old, moved up from behind her, showing clear fear in her eyes.

"You are Dummy plug Rei's," Shinji said seeing the two girls.

"Yes, no," they both said at the same time, leaving Shinji wondering what they were.

"Rei," Shinji said looking at the two girls.

"The Gulf, the place of Angel and Human souls is full again." The older Rei said as she started to feel insecure about her naked body, as a hand slowly snaked across her breasts.

"So are you an Angel or a...," Shinji said looking at her, as he helped her and the younger girl out of the water. "... An Angel?" There was a bit of fear in the younger girl's eyes seeing how unsure she was at his question.

"Do you have a name?" He asked the older Rei. Seeing her reaction about how scared her younger counter part was in Shinji's arms, he decided to change tactics.

"Shinji," he said to the girl. "That is my name, so what is your's young one?"

"I am called Lillith," the older Rei said looking at Shinji as she took a hand and started to caress the younger girl's face to calm her down.

"Lillith," Shinji said looking at the older girl. "Then you are an Angel." There was a slow nod from the Angel as she switched her eyes from him to the girl in his arms.

"Many of the other Angels have taken up the other Rei and Kaworu bodies inside of your defense facility, changing them. The one that was sent here called Kaworu is with us," Lillith said feeling her body grow colder from the sea air. That was when Lillith's and Shinji's attention switched to the shore where they saw a figure walking up the beach wearing a gray and blue plug suit.

"Yui," Kaworu said walking down the beach with gathered garments in his hands. "Come over here, you will be getting cold." That was when Shinji placed the girl down and she started to run over to Kaworu still shaking off the cold of her body.

"Yui, that was my mother's name," Shinji said looking at the girl as she ran along that sand.

"Yes." Lillith said I have the memories of my angel self and of Rei and Yui," Lillith said as she started blushing as she looked at Shinji. "I feel a bit uncomfortable, yet at ease around you, Shinji."

"You need some clothes," Shinji said as Lillith blushed. Shinji reached down and pulled out a poncho he used after his dives from his stash of stuff he carried with him during his fishing outings and handed it to her. She slowly took it from him and put it on.

"Domo arigato (Thank you,)" Lillith said looking at Shinji with a heavy blush as she slicked the garment across her body.

"You seem more modest than Rei was," Shinji said looking at her.

"Yes I am, mostly from human memories of Yui," Lillith said looking up at the shore as three more Reis and Kaworu's with different body builds started to appear in various states of dress or undress.

"The humans are pulling out of the water." One Kaworu called out. "We need to find Rei, the Mother." Suddenly, there was a yell. "We must make peace with them or we all will die."

"Shinji." It was Asuka's voice calling out from the shoreline.
