====================================================
	The personnel of NERV were looking at Rei in shock, at her statement. 
Misato was the first to recover.

	"B-but you can't be," Misato stammered.  "You're just a kid."

	"I am also part Angel and subject to their rules," Rei calmly replied. 

	Akira collapsed into a chair and slowly shook his head.  "I'm now
married and hadn't realized it because the memories I get from Amon are
swiss-cheesed."

	Akira Fudo threw his head back and laughed.  Not the usual dark laugh
that sent shudders through everyone's spines, but a mirthful one.

	"New surprises everyday."

	Nagisa said, "Your marriage is probably why Rei has been acting
different.  Her instincts from her Angel side caused her loyalty to
shift to you, since you are her husband."

	Rei thoughtfully commented, "I have been wondering why I have been
keeping secrets from Gendo Ikari, even though I am supposed to be loyal
to him."

	"Don't have the honeymoon just yet," Ritsuko said.  "We have other
concerns.  Kaworu, you said that the focus of the test will shift to
Akira.  Why?"

	Kaworu Nagisa/Tabris sighed and replied, "Demons and Devils are fallen
Angels that hate humans above all else.  Having one of them fight on the
side of humanity is supposed to be impossible.  And yet, Amon merged
with Akira Fudo does.  It all comes down to how long Akira can maintain
control over Amon."

	"Since I'm being tested, what tests will I be facing?"

	"Not fighting," Tabris replied, with a smile. "We do want to leave the
Earth intact.  Your first test will be Rei.  How you get along with
her."

	Akira bowed his head and gave an amused snort.  "Basically, live as
ordinary life as possible without giving into a demon's baser nature."

	Raising his head, Akira continued, "First things first.  I need to know
where Keele is.  As long as he's around, he's a threat to all the hard
work and sacrifice that everyone has done to preserve humanity."

	Miasto said, "Thou shall not kill.  You're giving into your baser
nature, if you try to kill him."

	"Thou shall not murder. And, what is the punishment for killing? 
Death," Akira countered.  "Besides, he's responsible for the death of my
parents and the Impact that destroyed Antarctica causing billions of
deaths."

	Misato fell silent and the rest of the room stared at Akira.  Kaworu
found a piece of paper and wrote down some directions and handed it to
Devilman.

	"Thanks," Akira said, as he stood up and walked towards the entrance of
the house.

	As he walked, he removed his shirt and dropped it on a table, leaving
his upper body bare.

	"Why did you do that?" Rei asked.

	"So I can use my wings without destroying my clothes," Akira replied,
as his bat wings appeared.

	"I see."

	Akira gently placed his hand on Rei's chin.  "I'll be back soon and
then we can talk.  I think we should know each other a little better, if
we are married."

	Rei nodded and watched as Akira flew off.

	"I wonder what it's like," she muttered, and went to her room.
--------------------------------------
	 At Seele headquarters, Keele had just received the report from the
spies he had watching the Asuka mansion.

	"Damn it!  Damn it!  Damn it!  Damn that Akira Fudo for being alive,"
Keele ranted.  "Everything is completely fouled up.  Yui Ikari is back
as well.  Just what I didn't need."

	A buzzing sound told him that the remaining two Sephs were waiting for
him.  He took a few breaths to calm down and entered the room where they
were.

	Seph-07 stated, "All our hard work gone in an instant.  Any ideas on
how to get the Human Completion Program back on track?"

	Seph-11 replied, "I am at a loss."

	"Then humanity can never evolve to its next level, because of Akira
Fudo," Lorenz Keele said.

	A sudden crashing sound caused all three to hesitate.  Keele recoiled
as he saw the transformed Devilman standing before him.  The door to the
room ripped from its hinges.

	"No more, Keele," Devilman said, as he approached the man responsible
for the death of Antarctica.

	Pausing for a second, Devilman stared at the two Sephs.

	"I know where you are and you are next."

	Keele closed his eyes and waited for the blackness to come.
-----------------------------------------
	At the Asuka mansion, Rei had changed her clothes.  She was now wearing
a low backed white swimsuit and white slippers.  She was leaning over
the bead and sweat was pouring form her face.  As she was concentrating,
she heard a knock at the door.

	"Come in," Rei said.

	Hesitantly, Yui Ikari entered the room.  She looked at the girl, who
for all intents and purposes was her daughter.

	"What are you doing?" Yui quietly asked.

	"I am trying to summon wings from my back.  I should be able to, since
I am part Angel."

	Yui sat down on the bed and looked at her clone/daughter.  "You care
for him, don't you?"

	"I-I don't know," Rei replied.

	Yui counted off on her fingers.  "You held silent on a number of
things, even though you are supposed to be in love with my jerk of a
husband.  You didn't raise an objection when that Angel/Demon marriage
law was mentioned.  And now, you are trying to summon wings, so you can
fly through the air with him.  I'd say you care for him."

	Rei blushed a bit and looked away.  "I don't know."

	"I do," Yui said, with a sad smile.  "He treated you like a human being
and he does seem to care for you.  As to the differences in ages, I
talked to Kaworu, or Tabris if you prefer.  He told me that in
Angelic/Demonic terms, the two of you aren't that far apart in ages.  To
them, it's like Akira was born in January and you were born in May of
the same year."

	Rei said nothing as she closed her eyes.  Suddenly, rainbow colored
angel wings spread from her back.

	Rei opened her eyes. "Like Akira, I accept who and what I am."

	The angel/human hybrid opened a window and took her first shaky
flight.  She almost hit the ground when she was caught by Akira Fudo.

	"Rei?"  Akira asked in shock.  "You have wings?"

	"Like you, I want to fly on my own," Rei replied.  "Will you tech me?"

Akira gave an amused chuckle and started the first lesson.

	Watching, Yui shook her head in amusement and whispered, "Keele was
wrong.  Humanity didn't need to trigger the Impact to evolve.  Rei and
Akira.  The Adam and Eve of the new millennium."
