Something felt wrong. It was there, right in front of me, but I can't seem to put my finger on it. I decided to shrug it off and snuck my head out the car window, closing my eyes at the same time. I had not attempted to do that before as my family had never bothered to buy a car. Cold wind blew hard into my face, making me feel rather uncomfortable and I quickly popped my head back into the taxi, rolling up the window until only a small gap was left.

My mother threw me a disapproving look at this before continuing her conversation with my father, who was sitting at the front seat. My family was currently taking a taxi to the airport, where we would then hop onto a flight to Japan. Even though we had already visited Japan a couple of times, we simply could not get enough of the large and awesome country. The food, the streets, every time we visit Japan, there just seems to be something new! I couldn't help myself but smile at the mere thought of Japan. Some time ago, I had even managed to get to Akihabara to get some figurines!

Just as I was thinking of this, a loud ear-splitting blast reached my ears. I only had the time to think what the hell? before the taxi slammed onto one side of the highway and screeched to a stop. My head wavered along with the taxi and banged hard onto something. Feeling a piercing pain at one side of my head, I reached up automatically with one hand, touched the spot, and brought it down for me to look at. Blood. My stomach flipped over and I felt rather sick, despite the fact that I have seen quite a number of gory scenes in anime. But then again, seeing your own hand covered with blood is completely different from watching the animation on your computer screen. Everything went blur all of a sudden and I lost consciousness.

I opened my eyes. A pale blue sky lined with fluffy white clouds face me. Hands on the surprisingly soft grass, I sat up from my position slowly. My body was aching all over and I groaned. Trees surrounded me and seemed to stretch on forever. I rubbed my eyes with a curled hand, glancing down at my appearance. I was still wearing my own slim jeans and a loose T-shirt. They looked oddly new.

Wait...what happened? Where am I? Questions flooded my mind instantly. Then, it all came back in a flash. The trip, the bang, the crash... My heart sped up. Where was my family? Why am I here? Dazed, I touched that part of my head where it bled after the crash. No blood. It didn't even hurt.

As I did this, I noticed a brown duffel bag beside me. Curiosity made me reach towards it and open the zipper. Peering into it, I realized that it was stuffed with quite a number of items. A small note lay on top of the contents. It read;

Come to this address soon after you've done exploring a bit.

Royals Road, #4-01

M.M.

I raised my eyebrows. Royals Road? I've never heard of that before... Stuffing the note into one pocket of my jeans, I rummaged through the bag. A bottle of water, an umbrella, a blue mobile phone, a set of familiar-looking clothes, and an ID. Picking up the ID card, I took one look at it and was at a loss of words. My own face beamed at me through the ID card, my raven hair down and combed neatly. But what really shocked me was the fine print on the card. Lena Mills? Who was that? Ashford Academy? But isn't that where... I looked at the set of clothing again. Yep, that's the Ashford uniform. My shaking hands gripped onto the card even tighter. I took a deep breath and took all the facts in with that breath. Yes, I was now in the world of Code Geass.

Placing the water bottle and the uniform back into the bag, I put the ID, and the phone into a pocket. Now, I mused, how am I going to get out of this forest?

She is coming...the one who knows all... He took in a sharp breath as he widened his eyes and dropped the chess piece. It rolled in a few circles, before coming to a stop.

His opponent raised an eyebrow at this, picking up the chess piece and putting it back at its original position. "What is it? Geass? There's no reason for it to hurt," she said casually.

The young man shook his head. "It didn't hurt; there was just this voice..." He moved his piece.

"A voice? What did that voice say?" C.C. sounded uncharacteristically concerned but moved a piece as well.

Lelouch decided to ignore that and replied, "It said that she was coming, and that she is the one who knows all."

"The Geass Vision..."

"The Geass Vision? What is that?"

C.C. , looking shocked, explained, "The Geass Vision is something that only Geass users can see. That itself is obvious from the name. However, I've only heard of this from the rumours passed down through the many years. And no, I am not that old," C.C. gave Lelouch a look before continuing. "They say that every few thousand years or so, one voice whispers into the ear of a selected Geass user. It will say, He or she is coming...the one who knows all... Lelouch, is that what it said?"

Lelouch nodded firmly. "What happened to those selected Geass users?" he demanded.

C.C. shrugged. "I have no idea. But now that you are selected, I am rather curious what will happen next..." she trailed off, an amused expression on her face.

Moving his final piece, Lelouch ended the game with a "Checkmate." He then put a hand to his chin, thinking. "Geass Vision, hmm? Well, let's just see who she'll be."

I've been wandering in this forest for almost an hour. Frankly, you can't really call it "wandering", since I've actually only been walking in a straight line. My stomach growled and I rubbed it with my hand. Damn that M.M., if the guy bothered to pack a water bottle for my thirst, ten at least pack some food for my stomach!

Eh? Is that... Is that a building?Not far from me, I could notice a white building. Yes! I could not stop myself from squeaking in delight at the sight of an actual building. I was getting rather tired of the endless sight of trees, and finally looking at something that was not green was unspeakable joy for me.

Forcing my tired legs to run, I dashed to the building. However, as I have been walking through the damned forest for an hour without even stopping, I slowed down my footsteps instead of running towards it.

After some time, the white building came into view. My jaw dropped to the ground. It was Ashford Academy! Oh, it was huge, enormous, gigantic, humongous... I just can't describe the size of this place! Students around stared at me for suddenly emerging out from the forest.

It took me a few seconds before I noticed all the stares. I felt like scrambling back into that forest of boredom just to get away from all the attention. At that moment, I knew that I would have to blend in quickly by wearing the uniform in my bag. But where was the washroom? Luckily, Ashford had signs put up around the school, which allowed me to find the washroom quickly and change into the uniform. Surprised that it fitted me perfectly, I walked out with more confidence and without anyone giving me weird looks.

"Ah! Lena Mills! What do you think you are doing? Come with me immediately!" A shrill woman's voice rang behind me. Lena Mills? Realization struck me as I remembered the name on the ID. From now on, it seemed that I would have to live as Lena Mills, instead of the life I had back at home. Turning my head, I found a woman wearing old-fashioned spectacles with her hair tied up in a bun glaring at me. "Come!" she barked, turning her heels. I hurried after her and she pushed me through a random door, slamming it behind me.

A much more kind-looking teacher and her class were rather startled at my sudden appearance. I found my feet rooted to the ground, my face turning a deep shade of red. What the freak did that damn teacher just dragged me into? The teacher noticed my embarrassment and quickly called me to her before addressing the class, "We have a new student today who will be joining us." I reacted and managed to pull out, "Hello everyone. My name is Lena Mills." I gave a small bow. "Everyone, please take good care of Lena! Lena, go sit beside Milly," the teacher gestured towards a blonde, who waved her hands in the air.

Wait... If that's Milly... Then... I looked at the group of students. Oh dear. Of all the classes to go to, I landed myself in Lelouch's class.

Lessons flew by and, to be honest, I was rather boring. Except for history. Why wasn't history boring? It told me a whole bunch of stuff about Britannia, which was quite interesting since the anime didn't really bother to tell the history of Britannia.

The bell rang, releasing me from my prison of boredom. I swung my duffel bag over my shoulder and dragged my stiff legs towards my room. The kind teacher, Madam Falls, had called me over a while ago to tell me my room number.

"Two hundred and fifty four...ah." I turned the key and opened the door. The room was quite large for a room for one. A single bed, a neat desk, a wardrobe, a television, and a bathroom. Not bad. There were already clothes in the wardrobe.

I ruffled my hair and yawned. What's this? Another note? A small, yellow Post-it note laid on top of the clothes. Eyes half open, I read it.

Don't go to sleep yet. I know you haven't had lunch. Ashford will call students to the dining hall for breakfast, lunch and dinner at 6a.m., 1 p.m. and 6p.m. respectively. Use the remaining time to explore the school. M.M.

I rolled my eyes. M.M. was getting terribly bossy. And he (I'm just going to assume M.M. is a he because the name M.M. reminds me of the little red guy on those M&M chocolates) didn't pack any snacks or food for me on purpose? Was he trying to starve me? That bastard...when I see him... I imagined myself shoving a foot into a shadowed man's face that was labelled as M.M.

This minor wave of anger wasn't all bad, though, as it helped me wake up from my half sleep. I released my anger with a long sigh. Looking at a clock that was on the wall, I saw that it was nearly twelve. With about an hour before lunch, I decided to look through the phone that M.M. had provided. There was no data in the phone at all. Unless... Narrowing my eyes, I selected the "Notes" tab. I was right. M.M. had left yet another note for me. This one read;

Check the first cabinet at the left of your desk. There's a small notebook for you to record your "adventures" and a wallet containing about five hundred Britannian dollars. They are at the same value as your United State dollars. Your books and all you need for Ashford is in the second and third cabinet. See you soon. M.M.

I closed the phone and opened the first cabinet as instructed. Indeed, there was an A-5 sized notebook and a small wallet in it. I flipped open the wallet with a thumb, counting the notes. Ten, twenty, thirty...what? I deadpanned immediately at the sight of another one of those goddamned notes.

Don't worry. This one's the last. At least for a while. I'll be waiting for you at the address I gave you next Monday. In the meantime, enjoy your stay at Ashford. M.M.

Frustrated at the extremely annoying M.M., I crumpled the note and tossed it onto the floor. The guy was predicting my every action! I headed for the shower to vent my anger into the drain. Hopefully it'll work.

"What's with the face, Lelouch?"

"There's a new female student in our class."

"Ah. Worried about the Geass Vision, aren't you? Coincidence?"

"Considering that it's Geass, unlikely. I'll have to check her profile on the school database later." Lelouch turned away and was about to walk out the door when C.C. called him.

"By the way, Lelouch?"

"Hmm?"

"Buy me two more cheese pizzas. I still need a few more stamps to get Cheese-kun."

Sighing in defeat, Lelouch headed for the phone instead of the door. If this goes on, despite the fact that he's rich, his wallet will be empty soon.

Holding the notebook in one hand and a pen in another, I sat down on my bed to think over the events of today. It was currently the middle of the night (or more specifically, one in the morning) and this was usually the time when my brain would be the clearest. It is also the time when I let myself pen down my thoughts.

I scribbled down 'This awesome book belongs to Lena Mills and not you' on the first page without much consideration. Then I started writing the main stuff.

I know this is pretty much the stuff of fantasy and dreams, but the things that happened today were reality. ...

I continued writing without pausing until about two in the morning just to finish the terribly long day. As I hid both my notebook and pen under my pillow and closed my eyes to sleep, I could not help but feel that tomorrow was going to be an even longer day.

A.N.: Hey peeps~! Thanks for reading my first fanfic. This chapter took me quite a few weeks… Sorry for the little bit of OOCness. Also, please follow and review to tell me how you think about this chapter. All opinions are welcome and don't hesitate to tell me the flaws. I'll probably edit it when I have the time. I know that there are a couple of missing err...stuff here and there (like when Lena got her long-awaited lunch and dinner)but it will all be explained in later chapters. Again, Please review!
