Was bored, so wrote a one shot, please review.
"I could even order you to kill all the Japanese if I wanted to, it's...a very powerful technique after all." Euphemia stared at her helmeted brother a moment before giggling to herself, really he was such a drama queen even when he was play acting a revolutionary.
"Right Lelouch, I'm sure you could, now, are you ready to do this brother?" Tilting his head slightly he took her arm and guided her out of the room and back out to the stage, as cameras flashed and the people cheered he couldn't help but shake his head in annoyance.
"This is what I have to look forward to when this alliance is solidified isn't it? The masses crushing down upon us with their lust for gossip and the like?" She rolled her eyes at that but ended up smiling regardless, he wasn't wrong he was just being so...Lelouch about it.
"Yes yes, and stop acting like you don't love the adulation brother, I mean really if you didn't want the attention you wouldn't dress like a gay opera singer regardless." Instead of responding to the slight Lelouch sighed lightly while shaking his head, eventually he began laughing to himself and Euphemia couldn't help smiling in turn.
"I missed you little sister, you were quite possibly the first girl I ever fell in love with, and the woman you've grown into, well...Suzaku is a lucky man." Euphemia nearly lost her balance at that, Lelouch had loved her? As more then a silly half sister who constantly fell flat on her face? That...
"I think you were the first boy I ever fell in love with Lelouch...and while I love Suzaku it doesn't mean that the feeling went away..." As they reached the microphone on the empty stage Zero...Lelouch, tilted his head once, and for some reason she knew he was smiling.
"I love you Euphemia li Britannia," she smirked and leaned in to kiss his mask causing the surrounding crowd to cheer as she whispered her reply to the revolutionary.
"And I love you, Lelouch vi Britannia," Zero turned to the microphone and stepped forward as he swept his hands to his sides sending his cape billowing dramatically. Euphemia had to bite her tongue to prevent herself from laughing at her brothers antics the entire time.
"Japan! My people! I have come to an agreement with Princess Euphemia, we will wait and see how her special administration zone truly treats the Japanese people, and the Black Knights shall have all their supposed crimes expunged as they are made the new SAZ's security force!"
There were crys of happiness, shouts of rage, and generalized chaos, basically like any football match the Prince in exile had ever been to, so the reception wasn't too shabby if you asked him. Euphemia took a step forward as she nodded towards the cameras, the Pink Princess smiling brilliantly for the entire world to see.
"Zero has graciously committed his forces to bringing peace and prosperity to Japan in hopes of ending the needless bloodshed plaguing our people, it is my hope the we can truly usher in a new era of progress-" Lelouch looked about the stands in honest annoyance. Really, he didn't want to admit it but he'd always been a bit camera shy, which jumped in the face of his love for theatrics.
Cornelia always ribbed him for the dichotomy and he really couldn't blame his sister much for it, it was silly but at the time he'd just been a boy. Now? Didn't really have that excuse, as Euphemia kept speaking he spotted something that froze his blood, staring at the sniper Lelouch had only a second to react, and react he did.
"-and with this first step I hope to-LELOUCH! What!?" She was cut off as Zero bodily grabbed her and swung her out of the way as the snipers bullet intended for his half sister tore through his back and blew through his chest. The wide eyed princess was showered in crimson as he fell to his knees, coughing up blood he shakily removed his mask and let it fall to the stage.
"Euphie...I...so...sorry..." With that Lelouch fell to his side, and the last thing he saw was his first love screaming in horror as the Lancelot burned across the sky landing on the stage causing it to buckle slightly.
Suzaku would protect Euphie, he'd look after Nunnally, it wasn't perfect, it wasn't what he wanted, but it was all he had. As the Princess cried over the fallen Prince something snapped in the woman, staring up into the cameras still watching the scene her violet eyes hardened into crystals of pure hatred.
"Find the shooter, find those responsible, and kill them all."
