A/N: So everyone liked the whole evil Shinji thing.

Shinji smiled as he took a deep breathe. The faint vanilla scent that was Rei filled his nostrils. Rei buried her head deeper into his chest as she struggled the unstoppable reality of waking up. Shinji rubbed his hand on her back, and she let out a contented sigh and went back into a deep sleep.

You love her don't you?

"Who are you?"

I am you.

"No, you're different than the other voice. You're new."

An evil chuckled filled Shinji's head, Good job. I knew you wouldn't be fooled too easily.

"Show yourself."

Sure.

Shinji watched the wall in front of his start to wobble. At first he thought it was an earthquake, but his other walls were unaffected. He looked at the wall in front of him again as a mirror image of himself walked through it. He immediately held onto Rei possessively.

Kira chuckled, "Don't worry Shinji. I'm not here for her. I'm here so we can have a little chat."

"You look like me."

Kira bent pulled up a chair and sat down beside the bed, "Of course I do. I am you."

"How can that be?"

"After you stopped the third impact, you wished to no longer remember your pain, so I was created. My only purpose was to even out the world. If you wanted complete happiness I had to be around for completely misery."

"So you're-"

"All you're bad thoughts and desires."

"What are you doing here then?"

"Simple, I want to conquer the world. But I need you for that."

Shinji sat up quickly, "I would never do that!" This of course woke up Rei; she started to sit up as well.

Kira smiled and waved his hand over Rei's eyes, "Sleep."

Rei fell backwards in a deep sleep. Shinji tried to wake her but she didn't respond. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?"

Kira chuckled again and nodded, "You see my problem. I can affect people while they are asleep, but I need you to be able to affect reality. The two of us combined could reshape reality in any way we wanted."

"Why would I do that?"

"Simple my dear twin, happiness."

"I am happy."

"Not yours," Kira nodded at Rei, "hers."

Shinji's eyebrow rose in curiosity.

Kira chuckled, "I can place her in an endless sleep, and give her any kind of dreams she wants…or you want. Think of it Shinji, she could have a family, a happy life. No NERV, no EVA, no Gendo Ikari, no feeling fake. She wouldn't even think she was a clone anymore. She could have a normal life."

"There is no way you could do that?"

"Really?" Kira snapped his finger.

There was a flash of light. Shinji found himself in a warm living room. The birds were chirping outside. He heard something in the kitchen. He walked in to find a mirror image of himself happily cooking, "Are you-?"

"You," came a voice beside Shinji. He looked to see Kira standing there with his arms crossed. "The name is Kira by the way." Kira looked at the mirror Shinji going about fixing what looked to be a large dinner. "Hmmm, that sure is a lot of food."

Just then two children ran into the kitchen from the back yard. They appeared to be twins. One Girl, One Boy. Both had Blue hair and brown eyes. Shinji stood speechless. He walked forward and tried to touch them but his hand went through them. "Are they?"

Kira nodded, "They appear to be. But I wouldn't know. This world is made up of Rei's deepest desires."

They turned as the front door opened and closed. Rei walked through the two visitors and to her family. She hugged Shinji and kissed him on the cheek.

"EWWWW!" cried the little boy. "Mommy and Daddy are kissing."

The little girl smiled, "I think it's cute."

Mirror Shinji looked at the two kids, "Why don't you two go play. Dinner will be ready in a little while."

"OK," exclaimed both of the kids. They then ran back outside.

Mirror Shinji smiled at Rei, "They sure do have a lot of energy."

Rei nodded, "Yeah, they have their father's care-free spirit."

Mirror Shinji blushed slightly, "Have I told you I love you lately?"

"Not since this morning."

"Well then, I love you so much."

The two kissed as the light flashed again. The two looked ahead and saw a very familiar sight. They were back in Misato's old apartment. She was on the ground crying, "Why did you have to die. I told you to be careful."

Kira chuckled, "Seems Rei isn't the only one who is asleep."

Shinji bowed his head, "This was right after Mr. Kaji died."

Kira smirked evilly, "I wonder where this one is going."

Just then another voice, "Those tears for me?"

Shinji and Kira turned as Misato's head shot up. There stood Kaji holding his side. His shirt was damp with fresh blood, but he was alive.

Misato jumped to her feet and tackled Kaji in a hug as she cried into his chest, "You stupid idiot. How could you just risk your life like that?"

"It's my job, but I recall you do the same thing."

Misato looked up into Kaji's eyes, "Not anymore. Just stay here with me. It will be just like before."

Kaji chuckled, "No it won't. This time I am not letting you walk out."

Shinji looked at Kira, "What are you doing to them?"

"I can effect their dreams. I can make it their hearts true desire. It's so real that they won't ever be able to see the difference."

"That's cruel."

"Time for our next guest."

The light flashed as they saw Asuka. She walked into a small house and yelled to the top of her lungs, "Mom! I'm home!"

An older woman walked in from the kitchen drying her hands. She smiled,"How was work today?"

"It was good. But I got off early so I could come visit."

"You didn't have to do that dear."

"I wanted to mom. You know how important you are to me."

"I know honey."

"I just can't shake this feeling that if I leave I will never see you again."

Asuka's mom walked up to her and hugged her tight, "Don't worry. You will never be alone."

Shinji stood in solemn silence. Finally, he was able to find his voice, "She always wanted a real family. She lost them at such an early age."

---Flash of Light---

Touji was sitting on a bench watching some kids playing soccer. He chuckled at it.as he stood and stretched his arms and legs.

Shinji watched in amazement, "He has both of his legs."

Kira nodded, "I suppose his biggest dream is to be able to have his leg back and not be treated differently."

Just then a female voice called Touji. They all turned and Shinji gasped as he saw who was running to them, "Hikari, but Touji said she was dead."

"I guess that was another thing he wanted."

Shinji turned his back and started to walk off as the two embraced. Kira turned and walked beside him.

"You said it was cruel of me to do this to them. But how is that? I gave them happiness. I gave them what they wanted. All you have to do is help me and they will never be sad again"

'Shinji.'

Shinji froze in his steps. He was automatically surrounded by darkness.

"Are you there?"

'Yes.'

"Can Kira do what e really says he can do?"

'Yes.'

"Then why does he need me?"

'Because it is just a perverted version of your gift. You can make reality as you wish it. It was my gift to you.'

"Why me?"

'Because you were the savior of the world. No one should have to go through the things you did, especially a child.'

"I'm not a child anymore."

'This is true.'

"It's my choice?"

'Yes.'

"Then I ask one more thing from you."

'Yes?'

"Who are you?" This question was followed up with silence. "Please tell me. Why are you so interested in me and what I wish."

Suddenly light appeared and a female figure stood before Shinji. He studied it for a few seconds, but then remembered, "Mom?"

Yui smiled and gave a short nod, "Yes my little Shinji."

"How?"

"Unit 01. I was held captive in there. When you fought in the 3rd impact t was my greatest wish to help you and protect you. I was allowed to do this by the spirits of the fallen angels. They realized the truth. They saw your pain and torment.."

"The same angels I fought?"

"Yes. They gave you the gift in exchange. Only one with such a gentle and kind heart could ever renew the world and not abuse the power."

Shinji starred at his mother's eyes, "I could have remembered everything any time I wanted couldn't I?"

Yui smiled and nodded.

Shinji bowed his head and a tear fell, "It was good seeing you again mother, but I know what I must do."

Yui nodded, "Shinji, I want you to know that I am very proud of you."

Shinji smiled, "I love you mom."

"I love you too my son."

Shinji closed his eyes and was back in the real world. Kira stood there with his arms crossed, "So?"

Shinji looked at Rei laying next to him in her perfect dream of her perfect life. He only wished she could be here now to help him, but he had to do this alone.

---Rei's dream---

Rei was suddenly hit with a overwhelming feeling of sorrow. She fell down hold her heart and then heard a small voice in her head. She could have sworn it sounded like Shinji, but it sounded so sad and empty.

'Forgive me.'
