Isle of Behemoth
By: ninetyninenails
Chapter one: Arrival
Summary: Shinji and Rei are stuck on an island and must learn to survive but to do this they will have to work together and help each other. Also how will Shinji get along with Rei once her hormones start kicking in? SxR
Broken remnants of machinery from a plane lay in the ocean sea. Along with the corpses of it's passengers. All of then except two. Shinji and Rei were fortunate enough to have washed ashore on an island. But everyone else was not so lucky, it was a good thing that only Nerv personnel were aboard the plan.
The destination they had being going was to the United States to pickup the sixth child. No one else went since they thought it would be good if the pilots became more acquainted with the new one. All except Asuka who thought she was to good to go.
The first thing Shinji did when he washed ashore was cough. He coughed and spat up a lot of water and even more when he woke up. He looked around and was startled to see Rei who was not moving. Shinji feared the worst but soon realized that she wasn't dead...at least not yet.
So the third child began to push, trying to remove the water from her body, after a while with no success he without hesitation began to give her CPR.
Soon after he received a response when Rei let out a gasp.
"Rei, are you alright!!!?" he immediately said, disregarding to call her by her last name as it seemed that it was only appropriate since they were stuck on an island.
"Shinji...yes I am fine"
"Oh thank god!!!" he cried out and he hugged her.
"What happened?" the red eyed girl inquired.
That's when Shinji realized what had happened. "Our plane...crashed..." he said in a sad tone.
"I see...Are there any other survivors?" Rei then felt something she was not use to...fear. She was scared because she had never been like this before, sure she had to fend for herself but never out in nature.
"I am not sure" his voice had a disappointed tone in it.
She gave no response.
Shinji hugged her once more and wept.
"I was...so afraid..that you had died Rei!!!" he said in an outburst. "I can't survive on my own"
"Why are you crying?" her words had a sympathetic hint in them.
"I didn't want you to die" he said sobbing. Even that was enough to make her blush.
He sat there and then wiped his face, he knew he couldn't give up, he knew he had to be strong, if not for himself at least for Rei.
"I guess...the only thing we can do now...is try to find shelter" he picked himself off the ground.
"That would be most wise" was Rei's reply.
The two got up and began to explore the island in search of shelter. But the whole way there Shinji felt awkward.
Here he was, all alone with Rei Ayanami. A girl who he had saved twice. A girl who he had made smile. A girl who he had seen nude. A girl who had given her life for his. A girl who he watched for no reason. A girl who was controlled by his father. A girl that was raised by his father. A girl who had nothing much to live for. And she had no memory of what happened. The only thing she knew was to be very polite, formal, fight Angels and to be loyal to Gendo Ikari and to Nerv.
He felt awkward because all the things that have happened and now they were stuck together on an island, he felt like grabbing her by the shoulders and shaking her until she could remember, because he knew if she would, it would make there stay a lot more easier.
He figured that was the reason, either that or he was just still upset about the little being stranded on an island, having to defend for yourself scenario.
They continued there walk and all the while taking in the scenery of the island.
It was a magnificent piece of land, tall trees, cool air, green grass, fresh air. The kind of place that just kinda made you happy to be alive. It was actually a paradise.
They walked into the heartland of the isle. An area where the forest was thick, and filled with possible danger.
Along the way Shinji picked up various rocks, seeing as they could be useful as a tool later.
It was a good idea that early in childhood, Shinji was interested in how to survive in the wild, but he only knew simple basic things, but it was enough that it should keep them alive.
He knew how to make fire, cook, what kind of herbs are good for medicines and soaps and what kind of berries and other foods were edible.
Rei on the other hand was educated in almost everything except for this.
All she knew was that they needed a place to stay, sleep and eat.
Shinji looked up into the trees. Some of the trees had bananas growing from it, some where homes for birds and such.
On the ground not much was to be found, occasionally some insects and on one occasion Shinji thought he saw a snake.
"Look...A cave!!!!" Shinji shouted happily.
The two approached it and Shinji stopped for a moment and wiped away some moss that was growing on it.
On the inside the cave was roomy, dry and warm. They stood there in the middle of the cave and Shinji turned to Rei and said with a big smile.
"Looks like we found a place to stay!" Rei felt slightly happy to see how happy he was but at the same time she wondered why he was so happy.
"Yes, this is suitable" was all she said.
Shinji placed all the rocks on the ground.
"Next will need something to sleep on...back near shore there were palm trees, I could collect the leaves and try to weave them together to make a bed" he grabbed Rei's hand and ran out of the cave.
They made it to the shore in no time and sure enough there were palm tree leaves already on the ground.
"Shinji may I inquire to why you seem so happy given our current situation" Rei spoke which was piratically a blessing unto itself.
"I guess because it seems now that I have another purpose besides Eva and that I don't have to be around my father" he said it with a smile.
"What is your other purpose and if you wish to be away from your father why don't you simply stop piloting the Eva" Shinji was happy to see her curiosity.
"Well my other purpose would have to be that I have to take care of myself and you, were all alone and it makes me feel useful that I have another responsibility besides piloting, and for your second question I can't stop piloting Eva, even though we haven't fought any more Angels, It's my responsibility as well to pilot" Shinji nearly said all of that without taking a breath.
"I see" and Rei walked over near the shore.
Shinji continued picking up the leaves until he couldn't hold anymore.
"Perhaps this would be of some use to us" the first child said as she held up a large backpack that obviously had things in it.
Shinji dropped all of the leaves.
"Wow Rei, good job!!!!!!!!" he took the backpack, leaving Rei with a nice feeling as she took his praise in.
He opened it to find many large blankets and a first aid kit.
"Wow where in the world did you find this!!!!?" he couldn't contain himself.
"Over near the shoreline" was her simple reply.
Shinji walked and looked to see a small container of gasoline, a bucket and axe that just happened to have washed up on shore, along with several miscellaneous things what was even better was that no water had gotten into the gas container.
"These supplies must have been in case of an emergency" Shinji stated the obvious.
He gathered up the items and they walked back to the cave.
"Thanks again Rei, your a lifesaver, if you hadn't of found those we might have been up all night freezing or something" this made the pale skinned girl blush.
"Thank you" was her mere reply.
"Don't be so formal, give yourself a pat on the back" Rei did not understand.
Shinji lay the blankets down on the ground, making sure to have them on top of each other.
"We can use these as a bed, won't be much but it will provide comfort...and now all we need is a fire and some food" Shinji took the axe and he and Rei headed out to fetch some wood and food.
They found a tree and Shinji spent nearly all of his energy beating the living crap out of it with the axe until he finally had several logs and sore muscles.
He picked up the logs and brought them back to the cave. And stepped outside again and walked around some bushes which appeared to have fresh, ripe berries growing from them.
"Do you like berries Rei?" he asked
"I have never ate them"
"Here, try it" Shinji handed her a berry.
Rei ate it slowly and a small smile appeared on her face.
"Do you like them?" the third child questioned.
"Yes, they're taste is sweet, I have never had something like this"
"What do you usually eat?" he could almost guess the answer.
"My daily diet consists of vegetables and water" thats when Shinji realized that they had no water.
"Damn, I knew I forgot something" he gave the food to Rei and took the bucket and searched for a spring or oasis or anything that had fresh water.
Luckily after a half hour they did stumble upon a large lake which was full of fresh water, he filled the bucket to the brim and tried to carry it back, all the while trying to ignore all the bugs which he knew must have been crawling around and perhaps on him.
When they arrived back at the cave Shinji set the bucket down and gathered the logs together, then carefully poured some gas on them and then began the tiring task of trying to make a fire.
He took to rocks and began to bang them together near the wood, all the time hoping that he wouldn't catch on fire and eventually, thanks to the gas a small spark hit the wood and a fire was born.
"There this should keep us warm" and he took the food from Rei and placed them on a separate log which he split into two and divided up the food and handed her a piece of log with food. "Eat up" he said with a now tired tone in his voice.
"Thank you" The girl said in appreciation.
"Nonsense if anyone should be thanked it should be you, without you finding that backpack we would of never been able to survive, I'm the one who should thank you" this made the quiet girl blush even more.
After they ate Shinji began to hack away at a log, he scooped out a large section, so they could use it to store food.
But one thing stood in his mind. If he was to survive he would need to hunt animals, if not only for the meat but also so him and Rei could have something to keep them warm and perhaps even something to wear encase they were stuck on the island for a long period of time
The sun went down and the two felt the effects of fatigue taking a toll on their bodies. Also something that Rei made a mental note about was how it had been sometime since she had taken her so called "Shot" it was a thing that she only had to take every few months. It was so she could go and blossom into woman hood without having to suffer through puberty.
But her body demanded sleep and in the darkness of night she stripped herself of her clothing, putting it in a safe place and lay down on the blankets close to Shinji so they could stay warm and not freeze but something popped into his mind as Rei lay next to him.
"Rei, what's that poking into my back?" he asked.
"My breasts" she said shamelessly.
"Rei are you naked?" came his other question.
"Yes" and now Shinji had to battle away the fiercest beast of them all...his hard on. But it was soon all taken care of as he just kept thinking about how we would have to fight animals and what all could be on the island and soon he was asleep.
One thing Rei had learned as well was that her "Shots" were what were keeping her from having dreams as well as a weird side effect because the whole night all she could dream about was being pinned down on the ground in the girl's locker room in Nerv by Shinji.
That would certainly give her something to talk about the next morning.
AU: ZOMG 2283 WORDS lol things seem to be getting better, well how was the first chapter? Anyone have any ideas on how I could get a good Waff scene in the second chapter? Any ideas are welcomed and appreciated!
