A SAFE PLACE TO FINALLY CALL HOME

Asuka eased open her locker she was grateful that the old dented school one was gone along with her old towel. She grabbed her gym bag pulling out her gym clothes eyeing them realizing that not only were they ripped at the leg but they had blood stains on them she turned throwing them on the floor, she'd go and buy some new ones.

She turned her attention as she started to flick through the books and magazines not thinking as she threw some of the really old battered ones over her shoulder. She had just realized that she hated her locker looking like the inside of a dump because she just hadn't really been bothered with cleaning it in the past six months.

She moved to the higher level throwing out yet another old battered bath towel along with empty shampoo bottles. "Wow cleaning up I see." Asuka turned sharply seeing that Shinji was standing behind her, she paused throwing out a pair of old battered gym trainers. "Yeah, something along those lines…"

Shinji blinked Rei had told him that Asuka's locker was kind of a mess but he could relate to this because when he'd had depression he'd not really looked after his locker because it had felt like to much of an effort even though it was simple thing. "Can I give you a hand?"

Asuka looked up. "Only if you want to…" Shinji kneeled down. "I'd like to." Asuka threw another shampoo bottle over her shoulder why had she been hording these things it was crazy? She watched as Shinji threw another empty one out. "Rei has some ideas for shampoo you might like when she comes back you should talk to her, because she said you have these at home as well." Asuka threw an old soap box out along with old tooth brushes she moved up a section throwing out empty drink cans. "I'll be happy for any suggestion, not like I can I have any idea what are nice beauty products are anymore."

Shinji threw an empty lager can over his shoulder. "You used to know them all Misato used to come to you to borrow stuff." Asuka threw another can out as she readjusted her new towel and swimming wear which were hanging up at the back. "Yeah and she'd call me a cheapskate because I always told her to buy her own." Shinji smiled as she threw out more old empty bottles. "You should come over we'd like your company." Asuka looked up slightly feeling uncertain as she spoke. "I'll try to once I've rested up."

Shinji moved putting a hand on her arm ignoring her surprise he felt his smile widen. "I still haven't thanked you yet." Asuka looked down slightly. "Yeah about Kaworu it was nothing, I just wanted to help." Shinji breathed in deeply typical Asuka clearly getting the wrong end of the stick. "No it's not about that I haven't thanked you for Rei."

Asuka felt her eyes dart. "I don't understand." Shinji looked up meeting her good eye watching as the other's blue patterns started to pulse. "She's really happy with you, I've never seen her this way before and I realized during that conversation when you broke the vending machine that you were happy for me to be with Kaworu yet I never said to you that I was ever happy with the idea of you being with Rei."

Asuka breathed in deeply. "Yeah but I understand your concern in that you might have worried for her safety because my track recovered with you which was awful and I had the Hikari issue hanging over my head." Shinji looked at her for a long moment. "Yes but I've thought long and hard over our school lives and something occurred to me, you had never hit her once. Yes there was the time when you pulled her up against the wall and she slapped you and after that you tried to hug her, a number of times but she shoved you off and after school but you never tried again."

He looked up slightly. "Maya told me that you can't stand the thought of hurting her it makes you feel physically sick." Asuka leaned closer. "That's no lie I hate the idea I always have because I love her." She looked down sadly. "I knew that in school but my feelings were confused and became about something else and though I am learning to forgive myself because I'm not that person anymore, I still feel deep regret that I shoved her up against a wall and tried to dominate her."

Shinji leaned closer why was she saying that? It so strange because in the here and now he got the impression that Rei had all of the power over Asuka in some respects she could get her to go anywhere and get her to do anything and she responded to it and even enjoyed it. She didn't even need to shout it could be no more than a gentle whisper and Asuka would follow. He was beginning to get what Rei meant when she said soft touch, it had taken him a while to get it but he understood it now once Asuka's barriers were down she could be at her most vulnerable and afraid.

Because in the past that was when she'd been hurt the most and that was where the soft touch came in because she needed to be treated very tenderly and gently and to feel that there was nothing to fear once she knew this she would try new things and shift out of her comfort zone and not lash out.

He looked up seeing that she was in deep thought. "School aside I'm really happy that you're with her, because you two should be together." Asuka looked up sharply. "You're serious?" Shinji felt a wide smile form. "Yes." Asuka breathed in deeply looking down. "Thank you that means a lot to me, because I knew though I was with her, I wasn't really sure that you were ever happy with it. I just thought maybe you were putting up with it and just didn't want to confront me over it because Rei had told you not to."

Shinji shook his head. "No not at all." He put a gentle hand on her arm. "I think also that she'll like being in your home, she's never warmed to her apartment personally I think it's because its too small and she's always been too minimal maybe with you she'll finally open out more in her desires and wants."

Asuka breathed in deeply. "Trust me I'm going to make sure that happens, I think she has a lot more things she wants she just has issues voicing it because she doesn't want to burden others." she looked up meeting his brown eyes directly. "She's could never burden me, anything she wants she can have she need only ask and it'll be hers."

Shinji looked at her for long moment. "I know and that's why she belongs with you, because in her past relationships she felt that she didn't live up to their expectations and it made her really unhappy, you ask nothing of her and you just want her to be happy." Asuka shook her head. "Yeah I heard about her past relationships, they pressured her with sex and when she didn't deliver they discarded her."

She felt a cold sneer form. "Vile verfickte assholes..." Shinji narrowed his gaze. "Yeah I wasn't that impressed either hearing that, neither was Kaworu." He felt a smile form. "But she told us that you never pushed her for anything you let her make the rules and she's never had that before and it made her really happy."

Asuka threw the final item out as she looked up. "Yeah but it goes both ways Shinji she's the first person who kept coming back to me after I pushed her away countless times and she stuck with me through thick and thin there were moments when I was just an utter train wreck and she was there guiding me through it and I know I'm not the easiest of people to deal with."

Shinji raised his hand. "Oh I don't know I don't think you're as difficult as you think." Asuka stood up fully pulled out magazine of her locker which was hidden closer to the back out of sight only to roll her eyes this was one of her more lame items since it was a lusty magazine probably one of her left over items from her last big clean out she though that she tossed these out after Shamshel.

She turned about to throw it only for a hand to come out of nowhere grabbing it as Mari's voice to hit the air. "Oh what do we have here?" She turned watching as the taller woman flicked through the pages smirking leaning against her own locker putting her foot on it. "I thought you weren't into the erotic Asuka." Asuka felt a sneer form. "Give me that back!"

Mari flicked though stopping at a certain page. "Oh wait now I see why you kept this." She turned it showing of the artist's impressions of Asuka with Rei naked and sleeping together granted they weren't as erotic as the one she had heard about in the wall scroll they were much softer more heavenly. She could see the blush of embarrassment creeping over Asuka's face. "I don't like erotic art she says lying through her razor sharp teeth."

Asuka moved closer. "Give it back!" Mari laughed somehow she was enjoying this more than she should. "You had this the whole time." Asuka tried to grab it only for Mari to pull it away from her. "It's not what you think I wasn't getting off on it, I just liked the art!" Mari eyed her. "What did it live up to your fantasy on some level?" Asuka looked up. "Yes it did..."

Mari pulled up the magazine ignoring Shinji who was just shaking his head. "Not until you tell me which one you like best?" Asuka felt her teeth grind together. "This is so stupid!" Mari felt a coy smile form. "No seriously I want to know which one, you tell me and I'll give it you back." Asuka eased up her hand pointing watching as Mari turned it around looking at it. "I was expecting you to say the middle one." Asuka snatched the magazine from her hand. "Yeah you'd like the middle one but I prefer my fantasies realistic!"

"What is going on in here?"

Asuka turned seeing Rei she didn't think as she threw the magazine in her lockers top shelf then slamming it shut giving her a stupid toothy grin. "Nothing..." Shinji turned giving his sister a smile. "I was just helping Asuka clean out her locker, she's just finished."

Mari leaned down picking up Asuka's old red sleeveless gym top eyeing the blood stains on it. "Tell me Asuka do you like the colour red so the blood doesn't show? Because the British red coats used to do that during the Napoleonic wars." Asuka moved the large metal bin over taking it from her hand ignoring her sly smile. "No…I don't wear to red to cover up the blood I wear red because it's my favourite colour."

She started to throw the old stuff in the bin. "No doubt they'll be complaining for a week in the bay about cleaning all the blood of 02 and picking Bardiel out of its teeth." Rei moved over giving her hand along with Shinji. "I don't think they'll mind this time." Mari laughed as she helped Asuka throw away the old things. "Yeah I mean you're not the only unit now with massive jaws they have put up with, they now have 00 and 04 to deal with as well and I've heard they hate my units tongue way more than yours since they have to pull it out when they're jet washing the teeth clean."

She turned putting a hand on Rei's shoulder. "Plus Rei's got that real wide gape issue as well only different in her units tongue is really flat and round tongue and isn't pointed like both of ours." She looked at Shinji. "Can't wait to see what your unit looks like when it finally changes along with Kaworu's and Toji's."

Shinji looked up. "Who says they'll change at all?" Mari watched as Asuka closed the lid of the bin pushing it back in place before moving over and locking her locker. "I heard when you went berserk the first time your unit went through a small change but it stopped I don't believe it finished what it has starting." She turned pointing at Asuka who was leaning against her locker. "Misato said Asuka's unit changing wasn't Bardiel it was it completely her own doing, he just told her that to gain trust even though he was a lying scumbag and once hers changed mine did and Rei's followed ,it's like the units are waiting for something to be right before they transform."

Shinji folded his arms. "Yeah but what's the thing they are all waiting for?" Mari looked at him. "Maybe for you to ask, who knows?" She raised her finger. "Either way it's going be you next I just know it." Rei moved taking hold of Asuka's arm. "This is a conversation is for another day perhaps?" She moved Asuka gently forward. "Asuka needs to go home and rest and do nothing for a few days."

Mari laughed eyeing her younger sister as Rei moved her away from them. "Yes go home Asuka and have plenty of get well sex" She found herself ducking as an empty coke can was thrown right at her by her younger sister though it smashed in to the locker opposite as it was never intended to hit her in the first place.

She smirked as they both vanished from sight. "Ah another day in the paradise that is Nerv." Shinji picked up the can tossing it in the bin. "Would you like to come over to my home sometime, you know with Toji, its just I've never had you around or Toji." Mari gave him a smile. "I would love to." She paused turning serious as she pushed up her glasses. "I'm really sorry for being such a mean bitch to you, Rei and Kaworu."

Shinji looked up. "Its okay, we've all been through things we understand, what it's like." He straightened his white long sleeve shirt. "Plus Misato told us all about what was happening with the traitors. I mean we never expected Makoto to be like that or to find out that he had been drugging you and Asuka I mean it explains so much as to why you were both going through such turmoil."

Mari folded her arms. "They were drugging Asuka much higher than me, they really wanted her to crack I just don't think they barraged on Bardiel or Rei becoming such a massive interference." She paused before speaking. "I don't believe Asuka would have cracked if anything when she ate Bardiel it was all controlled rage, only thing I don't get is the lances."

Shinji looked up. "Once she's well enough and back here Misato wants to talk to us all about it, because like Asuka said they're not Lances of Longinus they're Spears of Destiny she just wont go into what they are for or how they're different to the lances as there's just too much going on and it'll take a while to calm down." Mari breathed in deeply. "Yeah well I guess only time will tell about how this all works out."

Asuka watched the video feed again on her wide screen TV she viewed this video feed twice now she turned seeing Anneberg's face as his eyes blinked on her phone. "Wait so Bardiel stripped me naked before I got to the wreck room?"

Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.

Anneberg's mouth formed a smiled he was using the constant smile animation so he was clearly really happy to see her again. "Yes I found it most strange but he couldn't remove your pendent he tried really hard." Asuka eyed him as she lay back on the sofa. "Sorry you had to be tossed around like that." Anneberg blinked. "Its fine, I'm just happy to see you back with us."

Asuka looked at him. "Rei's going to moving in I asked her she said yes." Anneberg's smile widened. "I'm happy to hear that but I'm just surprised you normally take your time." Asuka eased up her hand looking at it. "Life's too short and I should just stop being afraid." She paused before speaking. "Bardiel very nearly killed me, if there's anything I can learn from this it's that I should treasure the things I love."

She eyed the video again even in the r-rated edition she understood nothing, why would she even create two Spears of Destiny? The lances of Longinus didn't exist so were they some dumb replacement for them? She leaned on her elbow nothing about this made any verfickte sense at all.

The whole thing was stupid what had been going through her mind at the time? Right now she wished she could just remember anything helpful. The only things that did make sense was the others trying to stop her from causing final impact and Rei cutting through her AT field like butter and changing her unit because clearly she had just lost it somehow.

She leaned back closing her eyes it was one massive frustrating puzzle and she didn't want to waste her energy on it right now she had two days to rest and do nothing and she was going to enjoy them along with Rei's company. Maybe then she could formulate some moving plan to get her things up here granted Rei had always been something of a minimalist in that she liked to only have what she needed but her place was big maybe it would allow her to branch out maybe have more things.

She eased up her medication looking at it, she would take it tomorrow she so badly wanted to drink tonight and there was a bottle of Champaign with hers and Rei's names on it sitting in the fridge which the Nerv staff had given them some time ago.

She closed her eyes about to drop off only to hear the phone ring. "Bring down the video talk screen." She turned as a smaller black screen came down opposite normally she didn't use it but she was too tired to walk up stairs plus Rei was unpacking one of her bags up there as she'd brought up way more stuff from home. "Answer in video call mode."

She turned seeing her grandmother's face appear in one screen while Kolby appeared on the other his short black hair and beard showing as he grinned speaking in a funny tone. "Well look who came back from hell to see us?" Asuka put her feet up on the coffee table. "Funny Kolby…real funny…"

Geraldina looked up smirking slightly. "Ignore him we are so happy that you returned to us, you had us all so worried over in the German branch." Asuka felt a warm smile form. "Yeah well don't ask me to remember anything the whole of Nerv wants me to remember what happened inside but I don't remember a thing." Geraldina smiled easing up the Japanese's digital report looking at it. "Apart from eating that angel…."

Asuka tensed slightly. "Yes." Geraldina looked up raising an eyebrow. "It's fine Asuka we understand why Nerv kept the truth from us but having that ugly thing in your brain sounds awful and I've been combing over Maya's report's from the past few weeks and its shocking I mean that vile creature really messed with your head its terrible." Asuka stretched slightly on the sofa. "To put it mildly it was like having a third verfickte wheel who was a massive sleazy creep."

Geraldina flipped through the digital pages as Kolby listened quietly his dark blue eyes shifting. "So Rei knew all along?" Asuka nodded calmly. "Yes it was just something we had to put up with and believe me, it wasn't pleasant at times." Geraldina flicked to certain written digital piece high lighting it. "Yes I imagine having an angel ask to take part in your sexual acts is really verfickte messed up." She paused eyeing her screen opposite. "Plus they sent us all of your sketches I mean granted he was hideous when you got rid of him but your drawings are like a horror movie in places, how did you handle that?"

Asuka looked up adjusting her t-shirt. "I just got used to it after a while, it was strange but I don't miss him." Kolby laughed. "Well considering how you ate him after you killed him we sort of got the impression over here that you both weren't friends." He smirked. "The shot of your Evangelion with its extended stomach is causing an internet storm."

He smirked. "There's even this weird tag line in the news when Asuka can't solve her problems she eats them." Asuka rolled her eyes. "Yeah well if they had him in their heads they wouldn't be making jokes." Geraldina eased up another digital report. "Yes speaking of mental thoughts though, I'm very proud of you for having so many sessions with Maya because I know you find therapy very difficult."

She paused before speaking. "I'm reading that you attended all your sessions with Rei and you didn't miss any." Asuka breathed in deeply. "I know it's meant to be something you do alone but I just couldn't, I was just a verfickte mess after Obrax and Rei just stepped in I never asked it off her." Kolby looked around. "Is she here by the way?"

Asuka turned about to say something only for Rei's voice to echo behind her. "I'm here." She watched as the other woman came out waving her hand as she sat on the sofa opposite Asuka as she spoke calmly. "I didn't want to interrupt." Kolby mouth formed a wide smile as he showed of his two gold teeth. "No we are both dying to speak to you, I mean it's not everyday you see a big blue transformed Evangelion uses its tail end to cut through such a thick AT field like butter."

He paused raising his hand. "Not to mention you firing Asuka's big gun, like none of us saw that coming. I mean that thing isn't light weight one of the reasons Asuka had to build up her arms and back and legs muscles was just so she could use that gun in the Evangelion."

Geraldina raised an eyebrow putting her hands together. "Yes that gun was created pacifically to take out the super dreadnought class battle ships and as you probably know the super dreadnought class are so big even Evangelion's have problems lifting them up, they're that large and their armour is massively thick."

Asuka rolled her eyes. "The UN fleet did nothing but complain about that gun when I got it because they thought I'd shoot them by mistake they shut up once I took out one of Cerberus's huge dreadnought ships which was attacked us out in the Atlantic. Suddenly it was thank you Asuka we like your big gun now you can keep it but please don't hop scotch all over our boats again you have wings."

She shrugged. "It wasn't like I put any of their aircraft in the water or anything I was very careful but I needed a stationary fire point because at the time I wasn't quite strong enough to hold the gun full time and it took me three months to get enough muscle on my shoulders, arms and back so that it didn't hurt when firing it, downside was that red plug suite never quite fitted right afterwards it always felt like it was pressing onto my back and shoulders."

Kolby stroked his short thick black beard. "Yeah well we've seen the new one any way, it goes better with the old eye patch and covers up the glowing eye." He looked at his table pulling out a large promotion photo. "I mean this is your new visitor shot they are running promos off it along with saying that you've got a new art book coming out sometime this year but no set date."

He eyed the image before speaking. "Yeah speaking of that red plug suite you didn't throw it out did you?" Asuka shook her head. "No it's in my beds lock box, why?" Kolby shifted through his desk pulling up a magazine opening it. "This article goes through the incident but at the end they stated they would love to see that damaged suit."

He turned the magazine page. "Because it states here that there was massive internal injury which is accurate and there are a lot of people who would like to see that suite behind glass." Rei eased up her phone. "That would be a good idea Asuka." She looked at Kolby who was in his early thirties and burly. "Can I send something across to you through this line?"

Kolby turned to her. "Yeah sure..." Rei looked up. "Asuka told me that you and Aili are not allowed to come here because you're not military." Geraldina breathed in deeply. "Yes that's true I've tried to pass it countless times with Ritsuko but it just gets ignored I've been trying for four years now." Rei breathed in flicking something onto her screen watching as the surprise appeared in her face. "That's my father's code."

Geraldina flicked the item of her screen watching as Kolby got it. He looked up sharply. "Hang on is this a code for two visitors key cards?" Rei looked up ignoring Asuka's surprise. "I asked Misato to clear this Ritsuko can not override it, granted you'll have to sigh a document of secrecy but you will get to see the Evangelions up close and that's all of them because they are stationed together in a single massive bay now once you get the card you can always come back they're permanent but you do get new ones every two years." Kolby put the magazine down the pure excitement on his face. "This is the best thing ever!"

He raised his fingers pointing it at her. "You're a verfickte dream no wonder Asuka love's you to pieces!" He paused turning slightly. "I'm sorry grandma but I have to go and tell Aili right away." Geraldina smiled. "You go." Asuka watched as he vanished from the screen she turned to Rei. "Thank you this really means a lot to me."

Rei felt a sly smile form. "You helped Shinji with Kaworu I saw it as only right." Geraldina took in a deep breath. "Yes speaking of family is your step sister Mari with you?" Asuka looked up as she put her arm around Rei. "No she isn't right now." Geraldina looked down feeling the guilt hit her hard. "Its just I really want to apologise to her, I spoke poorly of her many times in front of you when you were a child and that was really wrong of me. I had no idea that she saved you from drowning and that you were very close."

Asuka looked up slightly. "To be fair grandma I didn't talk much after you took me away so you couldn't have known." Geraldina looked down at her digital files sadly. "True but I'm reading this woman's files and she has no family whatsoever, her mother was murdered and your step father has vanished of the face of the earth and she must feel very lonely and not part of anything."

She paused putting her hands together. "I would like to make her part of this family because she means a lot to you and I'd like to talk to her through video call next time she's here. Because she should always be welcome in this family, granted it's small and we don't have many members left but every single one counts." She looked at Rei. "This goes for you too Rei you have my blessing and we want your family to be ours and that includes your brother and his partner Kaworu."

Rei looked up. "Thank you, that means a lot to me." Geraldina gave her a smile. "Hopefully we can all meet you again in person sometime." She looked up turning very serious. "Asuka maybe if you're having trouble remembering what happened in the core, you should maybe watch video seven from your mothers collection its quite fascinating."

Asuka looked up feeling her eyes dart. "Why video seven I mean I've watched it twice already?" Rei turned instantly clicking as to what Asuka's grandmother was getting at and she could see a strange knowing look in her blue eyes. Geraldina looked up. "Yui's theory on human instrumentality within the core is most fascinating wouldn't you agree?" Asuka eyed her grandmother she wasn't stupid she was trying to tell her something. "Yes it's very interesting."

Geraldina looked up raising an eyebrow. "Interesting enough for you to warrant a second look maybe, also might help you work why you would create these strange things called the Spears of Destiny." She felt a wide smile form. "Just a thought maybe for when you're better rested little one." She paused before speaking. "Now sadly I need to get back to my work as Rei emptied your big guns bullets cases we are sending you over two new cases so I'll send you my love and leave you two alone."

Asuka raised her hand. "Love you grandma." She watched as her grandmother vanished as she took in a deep breath. "Welcome to my family they're a little nut sometimes." Rei laughed as she got up. "Would you like a drink Asuka?" Asuka sat up. "The Champaign please, I know I'm meant to take the medication tonight but I'll take all this week no questioned asked, I just want to get happy drunk tonight over the fact that I'm alive."

Rei opened her fridge pulling it out putting it on the table top. "Its fine Asuka I understand." She unscrewed the metal cap getting to the cork part as she pulled out the metal cups she had proper Champaign glasses at her home but she had ironically never used them so maybe once they ended up in Asuka's kitchen they'd get better use. "Want to pop the cork?"

Asuka stood up slowly. "No I'd rather you do it since this is going to be your home now." Rei smiled not thinking as she cracked it off watching as the Champaign steamed and fizzed. "So glad we saved this thing, it's not like I have an idea about what good Champaign brands are." Asuka took it from her hand carefully filling the metal military cups which were normally for hot soaps and teas she kept them for winter as it got cold out and she could drink in the back and front garden. "I wouldn't know either it's been years since I ordered this stuff in any restaurant."

She passed her the cup. "Speaking of which I haven't shown you the back garden, you should come see it." Rei followed her realizing that in all of the time she'd been here she hadn't seen what was out the back where the Erika came and went. Asuka eased out her keys opening the back door pushing it open. "I'm afraid there's not much here."

Rei moved out seeing a simple grass garden with trees which was fenced in though there was a climbing section for Erika to come in and out. Asuka turned moving in front of her. "I never use this garden so you're welcome to turn it into whatever you want."

She paused easing up her hand pointing to another large section of garden. "I can also have the builders come in and create you a pottery studio, it can be either attached to the garage if you want or separate like out on the grass and you can make things to your hearts content." Rei blinked in surprise. "Your giving me all this?"

Asuka looked at her taking a sip from her cup as she eased up her finger flicking it across the wind chime which Shinji had brought her which was now hanging outside the backdoor listening as it rang out soft mellow notes. "Yes it's all yours to do with as you please. Plus I remember that cubby hole room you have back in your apartment and believe me that's not nearly big enough for creative protects, you should have a large room with your own kiln, I mean Shinji's studio takes up a massive room so why shouldn't you have a big place all your own."

She breathed in deeply. "I can also move your computer stuff upstairs the room is big enough for two computers and I can put in really nice wooden shelves for all your books, I know this couple who makes really nice shelving to order it even comes with book ends." She looked up. "Also I can order in those new two three seat sofas and you can have the one from the living room in your studio so you can sit comfortably when you're not working."

Rei moved towards her. "You've been thinking about this long and hard haven't you?" Asuka took in a deep breath. "Yes." Rei moved closer she moved her fingers down her leather jackets collar. "That's very sweet of you Asuka." Asuka eased up her hand running them through her hair. "Yes well I love you and I think you should have everything your hearts desires."

Rei moved her fingers running it down her t-shirt as she finished her cup putting it on the stand opposite gods hearing Asuka talk in that voice that sounded like silk. "I love your ideas and maybe once you're rested we can talk it through in full."

She moved her hand back up running it through the thick red hair watching as Asuka finished her cup putting it on the stand next to hers. "But right now I only desire your company." Asuka shifted closer moving her hands to her waist. "How would you desire it?" Rei felt a wide smile form. "I would desire that you kiss me and maybe more if you're feeling up to it." Asuka felt a wide toothy grin form. "Now how could I ever refuse such a divine goddess's wish?"

She leaned forward meeting her lips as she spoke through her kisses. "I missed you so much." Rei breathed unable to stop her hands as they moved over every inch of the other woman's body. "Don't ever leave me again." Asuka moved closer to her running her hands down her arms feeling that sudden sparking sensation of desire all at once which was even more welcoming now that Bardiel was out of her head. "Trust me, that won't ever happen again…" She moved her hands pulling Rei closer feeling her left eye ignite. "As long as I live..."
