Tokyo started a new beginning after the demon king, Lelouch, died.
The elevens finally got their freedom with Ohgi as their new prime minister. Everyonewas satisfied with what Japan has now. Unfortunately, Kallen wasn't. It has been two years since Lelouch died and yet the memories still haunt her thought.

"Kallen Kouzuki? You in there?" the former knight of three asked.

"Hm? Oh, yeah I'm still here. I think?" Kallen's reply made Gino laugh. She swaps a shameful grin when the knight looked at her. Gino laughed harder making her giggle the same time.

Gino was always beside her when Lelouch died. He studied a year in Ashford and became friends with her. He was on of her closest friends.

"So what so you want to do now?" the knight asked breathing hard.

"I don't know. I don't have plans for today."

Gino was about to talk when his phone rang. It was about a minute and half when the conversation stopped.

"Kal I'm sorry but Milly ordered me to get to Ashford pronto."

"It's alright. I'll stay here for a while."

"You sure? You'll miss me the minute I walk away, Kal" Gino said with a grin in his face.

"Shut up. I can take care of myself. And stop calling me with that stupid nickname!"

"Why not? It really fits you y'know."

"Shut up!" Kallen replied.

Gino laughed and said goodbye. Kallen waved goodbye and after a moment, she realized that she was all alone. She walked

passed a park and saw two kids playing nearby.

"Lelouch!" the little girl called.

"Don't call me that!" answered the young lad.

"Why would'nt I? It's your name." the girl said.

"Just call me Zero, savior of Japan!" the girl laughed and started to play with the litle lad.

"Zero huh?" she grinned as she saw the strangers left. She was actually amused when she heard 'Zero the savior of the Japan'.

She always knew that. Zero the savior of the Japan, the hope of mankind, ~the one who killed Lelouch. The last line alerted her. How could she be mad at Zero?She should be happy Zero came that 's dream came true, Japan is safe, all hatred gone. Memories were passing when she realized she was about to bump on one of those flower vendor. She saw the flowers and remembered something.

" It's Lelouch's birthday!" she bought a few flowers and quickly went to Lelouch's grave.

She remembered his grave. A medium height pillar, painted silver that was fenced around. She visits it twice a month if she's busy and four times a month if she's not. All she knew she was the only person who cared and visits it. Well, except for Gino who sometimes go with was in front of the gate when she saw something unusual. The gates were open and somebody was inside.

"Zero?" the person turned reavealing the mask that Lelouch once wore.

"Kallen? What are you doing here?"

"I should be the one to ask you that." she got infront of the shrine and settled the flowers.

"I should be going." the masked man added.

"You are not going anywhere." Kallen looked at him with her arm at his chest blocking him. He swiftly grabbed her hand and turned her around making their positions opposite. Zero grabbed the chance to run as Kallen tried to chase after him. They roamed around the shrine dodging tree by tree when suddenly Kallen's foot got stuck at a tree root circling above ground. A scream came out of her. When she saw her foot it was bleeding, she manage to let her foot loose off the root but a stream of pain was still circling her body. She was now full of pain, she can't move nor stand up. She was moaning from all the pain, she didn't realized that she was still in the middle of no where.A hand suddely appeared at her back and the back of her knees. Zero scooped her out of the ground and carried her bridal style.

"T-thanks." she said nervously, hiding her blush away.

They went inside a small trailer and to Kallen's surprise it was their old hideout. It was almost the same as she last saw it except for the fact that it was now twice bigger. Zero placed her sitting at the bed while he got up to get the medical kit.

"I never thought this place could survive the war" Zero was now treating her foot, no reply was coming out of him.

"OUCH!" she pulled her foot from Zero which make Zero mumble silently. She put her foot back at the edge of the bed slowly and gently. Zero applied the medication which made Kallen cry loader

"THAT HURT!"

" WILL YOU-" Zero's reply made Kallen laugh. She giggled at first then laugh hard making Zero pretty annoyed.

"What are you laughing about?"

"I knew it. You - y - you really is him" she replied, still laughing a bit

"What are you talking about?"

"I already knew it. And at last its confirmed!"She was now facing Zero closer and closer. Her hands were in front ready to embrace the mask away.

"H-h-hey!" Kallen was now holding the mask and gently removing it.

"Don't worry, everything's okay. I already knew who you are. You're Lelouch's loyal dog. Isn't that right Suzaku Kururugi?"
