Demon City Tokyo

Seven

Deep beneath the NERV pyramid, Lilith waited.

Being a demon Lilith had no concern over time passing or the possible length of her imprisonment. She was ageless, or near enough for it not to matter, at the very worst she could simply out live her enemies. And resting in this place was a surprisingly entertaining prospect, really.

Lilith was not bound by human senses, and the lush, sexy redhead extended her consciousness up through the building. The small, human minds scurried back and forth, like mice in a maze, but there was something attractive in the glow of their minds. It had been that same glow that drew Lilith to Gendo and Yui, nearly twenty years ago.

It was funny, how the two had reacted to her, back then .

Yui Ikari had lead the way into the cavern that had been Lilith's 'nest,' the light brown haired woman's flashlight showing the way. Her husband Gendo had followed carrying the pack of scientific equipment they needed, as well as a machete for protection.

As they entered the inner 'womb' of Lilith's bower the walls pulsed with pink life, lined with what looked like living flesh. Her scent filled the place, making both of them dizzy with long supressed desires and secret needs. Within the chamber Lilith rested nude on a 'bed' of flesh, looking at both of them thoughfully.

"What... is she?" Gendo managed to moan, his breath coming faster as the dark brown haired man looked at her with awe.

"Not human," Yui cautioned her husband. She frowned as she muttered, "The nasal filters aren't working at all...?"

Lilith actually laughed, her voice making both of them throb with need. "You can actually block my scent, little ones?" she asked curiously, still lounging provocatively.

"Yes," Gendo hissed, almost unwillingly.

Yui scowled at her husband, clearly annoyed that he seemed to be quickly falling under Lilith's spell. "Yes," she conceded, "but why are we so... affected by you, creature?"

"Creature?" she laughed, "Have you little ones forgotten me so soon? I am Lilith, mother of demons, creator of life itself!"

"Just what we thought!" Yui breathed out, even as Gendo began to shrug off his heavy back pack. "Wait!" she yelped as he ran towards Lilith.

"Come to me," Lilith purred, smiling at him.

Flinging his clothes aside Gendo almost fell into her arms. He had a moment of pleasure, possibly two, before the screaming began. Her arms closed around him as Gendo fought to free himself even as tentacles of Lilith's substance began to writhe and twist through his body. He jerked and convulsed in her arms, then stiffened.

Yui watched, frozen, as Gendo seemed to be pulled into Lilith, somehow. It was like his skin was a deflating balloon, the material of his body pouring into the creature below him. When he was empty Lilith cast the skin aside, rising to stretch gracefully.

"What did you do?" Yui managed, horrified.

Lilith stretched out, feeling her hunger sated in a way that she hadn't in a very, very long time. "Fed," she smirked.

It had been so cute how indignant Yui had been! As if the sacrifice of a mere slave had been at all important. It wasn't until later that Lilith found out he had been Yui's mate, too, but still... he hadn't been important, really.

After that Yui took her from her cave and revealed the state of the world. Some fools had actually invoked her counterpart, Adam, and so doing signed their death warrant. But almost as soon as he was released Adam divided, splitting off warped, twisted reflections of himself. Like some kind of biblical plague his spawn spread across the world, slaughtering the summoners as well as feeding wildly on men.

Yui appealed for Lilith's help, and in the end she agreed to make a bargain with the desperate woman. Yui would provide her sacrifices, in return for the spawn of Lilith, who could fight against the children of Adam. Taking the sweet blood of Yui she took it into her womb, and Lilith then birthed daughters of her and Yui.

"She... looks a little like me," Yu murmured, looking at the girl who had been literally born only a few minutes ago.

Lilith lay back on the bed Yui had provided, along with the cabin away from the city and people. She tiredly pushed herself up as she said, "Well, she is our daughter after all."

The girl was pale, walking around the room curiously buck naked. In the time since she was born she had grown from a toddler to a twelve year old, her light blue hair growing to reach the small of her back.

Yui watched the child warily as she murmured, "I always wanted a daughter, we were going to call her Rei..."

"Rei it is," Lilith agreed as she got up, walking towards the girl who looked at her calmly. "Come here, Rei," Lilith ordered, drawing the girl close then shockingly offering her breasts to her mouth.

"Hmm!" Rei made a soft sound then began to suckle.

"What the...?" Yui yelped as Lilith moaned happily, clearly enjoying the breast feeding a bit too much.

"She's not human, Yui," Lilith told her, her eyes almost dreamy as the child drank her milk, "you can't feed her your food. It would be poison to her."

Rei was... actually getting taller as she drank, shifting from child to teen. Finally she pulled away, a strand of strange, orange fluid connecting her bottom lip to Lilith's nipple. She licked once more, then turned towards Yui with a questioning gaze.

Ignoring that Yui looked at Lilith, who seemed tired but otherwise unchanged. "So what can she eat, other than your milk?" she asked.

Lilith gave a smile that was nearly evil as she purred, "The children of Adam."

Rei walked over to Yui, circling her then looking at Lilith. "Food?" she asked.

"No," Lilith shook her head.

Without another work Rei strode outside, leaving Yui gaping in shock. Then with a cry Yui hurried out after her, even as Lilith chuckled evilly. Tiredly she went back to the bed, already knowing what was coming.

Rei had caught the scent of one of the monsters, in the hills nearby. Her 'hunting' instincts had already kicked in, and now she was going to go get it. She was a relentless, powerful hunter, with a mind that combined hers with Yui's. Human intellect and demon cunning, a combination she was sure would be victorious.

It took only a half a hour for them to return. Yui was splattered with gore, ichor dripping down from her hair and smeared on her cheek. Rei trotted after her, her hands drenched in the guts of the creature, as well as all around her mouth.

Yui looked like she was going to be ill. "She... she tore it apart! Then she started to...," Yui made a retching noise.

"She ate it," Lilith nodded, looking more amused than anything else. "This is the cost you will have to pay, Ikari. My children are a savage breed."

Yui was pale, but she gulped and kept herself from throwing up. "If they stop the creatures attacking humanity," she said bravely, "it'll be worth it."

Lilith smirked. Yui hadn't understood her warning, not really. She and Yui had created many sons and daughters, engineering the births with samples of other's DNA, trying to create the perfect hunters. The 'Rei' version had proven to be the most stable, but Yui seemed uncomfortable using her flesh and blood to kill.

Lilith had laughed when Shinji Ikari, Yui's son, had applied to become a hunter. Paired with a Rei at first they had killed and hunted well, but Yui had fretted for his safety. The Rei seemed to... sense the blood connection, protecting him, but also seeing him like kin. She was concerned what the Rei might do, so instead she engineered a new child of Lilith... Kaworu.

When Kaworu killed and violated Shinji, Yui had come down here with a baseball bat. The beating that followed was biblical, truly if Lilith could die of physical wounds Yui likely would have managed it. But Lilith regenerated, surviving even as her skull was crushed and her chest broken, laying in a bloody ruin at Yui's feet.

"Was it good for you?" Lilith gurgled through broken teeth.

The horrified, stunned look on Yui's face was almost worth the beating. Yui dropped the bat and staggered back, her face pale. Without a word Yui turned and fled, running out of the underground chamber as fast as she could.

Lilith pulled her shattered body together, healing as her kind easily did. Within minutes she was whole once more, the beautiful redhead looking with some regret at the orange blood splattered on the floor. Quietly she walked from the center chamber back to her bedroom, pausing in the door as she looked at the naked man Yui's men had tossed in a few hours ago.

Lilith watched as Ryoji Kaji came awake, the black haired young man looking around him in confusion. He moved and winced, grabbing his head as he groaned.

"Don't move, you've had a nasty shock," Lilith told him, fighting back a smile as his eyes widened at seeing her nudity.

Lilith watched the Special Inspector for the Japanese government look in awe at her breasts, then in a act of will yank his eyes away. "Where am I?" Ryoji asked gruffly.

'He's actually trying to be polite,' Lilith thought, 'how cute.' Aloud she said, "You're naked in my bedroom, young man."

That was when his nudity registered. Blushing furiously Ryoji scrambled for something to cover himself as he blushed pinkly. "How did I get here?" he asked, trying to cover himself with his hands, "Who are you, anyway?"

"I think Yui caught you digging where you shouldn't," Lilith guessed as she sauntered over to him, her unearthly scent washing over him. His eyes widened and glazed over, even as he seemed less aware of his nudity.

"I'm in trouble aren't I?" Ryoji managed to slur out as Lilith pressed against him.

"Yes you are," Lilith purred as she raked her clawed finger's down his back, drawing out only a whimpering moan, "I am Lilith and you? You are my food."

To be continued...

Notes: Yes, Lilith's blood & milk are orange, and probably LCL. Unlike Angels and her children Lilith CAN eat human food, but she prefers human flesh. Yui Ikari is feeding people to Lilith, secretly, usually people who know too much or become trouble to her.

Remember folks, stay on Yui's good side. Or else.
