Finally, I was able to publish it. I've had this idea for almost a year now, and I said I'll publish it when it is finish, so I'm sure I won't have a problem with my time schedule. This is my very first story to be published, so please be kind to me!

Disclaimer:I don't own Code geass, of course…



Prologue

Nunally's POV

"Living in a world that you made for me is really nice, onii-san," I said, staring at the sky. Beside me Suzaku-kun sat, staring at the sky too. Today is a sunny day, and the sky looked so beautiful, being a forget-me-not blue, and having white fluffs of clouds passing by. A nice day to visit my brother.

It has been five years ever since. Five years of happiness always coupled with the pain of thinking he isn't with us anymore. Even though I've already gotten over it, there are still times I really feel so sad and lonely, and nobody can console me, not even Suzaku-kun.

It also has been five years since everyone get on with their different life paths. From what they've been telling me from letters or visits, they're all happy, which makes me happy too. We're all enjoying the world he created for us.

And it has been five years since I haven't seen her. She had been there during my brother's burial, but after that, I never saw her long light-green hair again. She never called nor sent letters, and I think she wants us to forget her. Maybe she felt that it's her fault why I don't have my brother beside me now. Maybe she thinks if she didn't give that Geass to him, his life wouldn't be like that. But all I can do is guess.

I closed my eyes, and tried to picture her with onii-san. She usually annoys my brother, but somehow, I don't think the personality she showed to us isn't true at all. I think it's only to onii-san she sometimes showed her true self. But nobody can blame her; she has been through lots of hardships. It's natural for her to do that. But I'm really wondering, who is the true C.C?

Suddenly, I heard Suzaku-kun gasp. I immediately opened my eyes, and there, standing before me, is C.C. herself. She's in a white dress that is up to her knees, white sandals with straps that crisscrossed around her legs, and a hat with white flowers. She walked past me and laid the white flowers she brought on onii-san's grave. Then she turned around and walked past me again, going away.

"Wait!" I desperately called out to her. She stopped, and turned to look at me again. I can see she really doesn't want to talk to me. But she walked towards us. Suzaku-kun muttered about "going to walk around", and left, giving me time to talk to her alone.

"Sit beside me," I said kindly, smiling. She replied in an emotionless voice, "Yes," paused, and then continued, "your highness." I was struck by her reply, never thought too much about it. She sat down beside me.

"How are you?" I asked her.

"Fine," she said.

Silence ensued. I don't know how to ask her the questions in my mind. She, meanwhile, looked like there's something in her mind. Then she spoke.

"I suppose you're wondering where I am, and why I don't contact you."

"Yeah," I replied. I think she's helping me get out all these questions in my head.

"I'm trying to get away from you as much as possible. Has that ever crossed your mind?"

"It did, but I didn't want to believe."

Silence again. Why is she acting like this? Like she's done a really bad thing to me.

"Nunally, do you hate me for giving your brother his Geass? For shaping his destiny like that? For helping him?" she suddenly asked. Now I see what she's thinking. She really thought I hate her because of all these. But I don't.

"Have you ever tried asking onii-san about that? How he felt when you gave him that Geass, and for shaping his destiny like that? For helping him in all his plans?" I asked back. I want to get honest with her. But before I answer her, I want to know what my brother has said about that.

"He said he was grateful, but, Nunally, he's not you. I'm the reason why he died. Had I not given that Geass to him, he would still be here, beside you! Nunally, I meant to use him! I-"

"You meant, but you did not. There's a difference. And, to be honest with you, I don't hate you. I'm grateful to you. You made my brother happy. That's the only thing I'm going to say about that."

She looked surprised, and was about to argue, but didn't when she saw my determined face. I firmly looked at her eyes. She's a different person now. Not the one we all used to know, but a different person. She showed that she has feelings, human feelings. I am quite surprised to see this.

"Well then," she said, and then stared at the sky. "Nice day, isn't it? The sky is so beautiful. But not the most beautiful I've seen in my whole life."

I then remembered that she is immortal, from what Suzaku-kun told me. Then an idea struck me. "C.C?" I said, "Is there really such a thing as reincarnation?"

Her lips formed a graceful smile, and she answered, "Yes, there is. I've seen many people before that had been reincarnated. Are you thinking Lelouch will be too, if there's such a thing?" I nodded, and turned my head towards the sky. Then I questioned her again. "Would you like to see him again if he's reincarnated?"

Her eyes became sad, and so did her voice. "I would like to," she said, "but when I'm already human again." I felt sorry for her, but I don't think just being immortal makes one inhuman. I told her that. She just laughed sadly at my words.

"I am not a human, Nunally. There's nothing I can do. The only way for me to be a human is to die, and for me to die is to pass on this immortality."

"You can give it to me," I suddenly said. C.C shook her head. "No, Lelouch wouldn't like that," she countered. "Yeah," I said, "He wouldn't like it. But what about give it to one of my descendants?" I suggested. She looked at me real hard, then, with a shrug, replied, "If it's okay with you, and with that person."

"Its okay with me," I said. I would really like her to be human again, and anyways, my descendant can pass the immortality to others so he/she can die, right?

She stood up, and turned to me. "I need to go now. Maybe I'll visit you again. It's really nice talking with you, Nunally." I smiled, and nodded. But then, a thought entered my mind, a question that I've always been thinking of. so i grabbed her hand, and said, "Wait. Just one more thing. what do you feel for my brother?"

After saying the question did I realize that it is quite awkward. But from what she answered, I think she didn't really mind it at all.

"I love him."


There. Please review!^-^
