Summary: Lelouch wakes up to find himself alive and in the peaceful world that he has created. But things are strange. He's alive and the emperor. People know him as who he is and no one hates him.

Author's Note: Well, I just started writing as soon as a little story clicked me. I am not sure about the whole story so it may have flaws. I hope that you deal with it. Oh and in this story, Shirley's alive. Lelouch took her to the doctor and fortunately they saved her. That's why she's in the story, alive. Don't forget to review! ^^

Normal POV
He woke up with a start. He sat in his bed breathing heavily, drenched in sweat. He just sat there for a few moments before realization swept over him. His mind was spinning. He hadn't been so confused in his life ever. Getting out of his bed, he stood up and looked at the clock hanging on the wall. It was quarter to 7. He knew he was supposed to be dead and waking up in hell, but, what he didn't ever imagine was waking up in his bed in his room in the Ashford Academy and being alive. Burning with curiosity and confusion, he instinctively picked up his cell phone from his bedside table and checked the calendar. December 2, 2018. Four months after the incident. Innumerable questions went through his mind. What happened to me? Why am I alive? What about everyone else? What happened after that? What about Suzaku? What about C.C.? What about the Black Knights? What about Britannia? What about everything else?
He couldn't take the excitement and the confusion anymore. He got out of his room and looked around. The place was exactly the same. He went to the living room and found Nunally sitting at the table. Suddenly, the image flashed in his mind. He could hear Nunally crying and yelling clearly. He lay there, bloodstained and Nunally clutched at his clothes. "I would have been happy just being with you, Brother." "I can't bear a future without you Oni Sama." "I just can't.." He could her all those words clearly as well as her yells and cries. He shuddered at the image in his mind.
He walked towards her. She was sitting in her usual wheelchair. He remembered that she had overcome the Geass cast upon her by Charles Vi Britannia and felt a sudden happiness that she could see again.
"Good morning brother."
She looked at him with loving eyes and smiled. At that moment, he was overcome with happiness. He was about to shower her with questions when he saw C.C coming towards her from the opposite direction,
"Umm, Nunally, I will be right back."
He took C.C's hand and sprinted to his room.
"What the heck is going on?" He questioned her as soon as they were in his room.
"What do you mean?" She asked in a mocking tone and lied to on his bed.
"What do you mean, what do you mean? Answer me! Why am I still alive? What happened? What happened to everyone? What is going on?"
C.C brought her forefinger to her lips and pretended to think. "How about we get ready for school for now? We're going to be late."
"School? But what? Why? I mean, wasn't I supposed to be dead? And what do you mean WE?"
"Just get ready." She sighed, stood up and went out of the room.
Lelouch quickly washed and changed, all the while being utterly confused. As he came out of the school, C.C appeared in front of him dressed in the school uniform.
"So you're going to Ashford Academy after all? But why? You don't even need schooling."
"Just shut up."
He didn't bother saying anything else and followed her. When they were in the school corridor, he saw Suzaku waving at him. Lelouch looked at C.C for some enlightenment but C.C didn't react even though she caught his eye.
"Hey Lelouch!"
Lelouch thought for a moment before saying anything. How was he supposed to reply? He was bewildered. Suzaku was supposed to be playing dead. Why was he in school?
"Hey Suza-" C.C cut me off and said, "We'll talk later. We have to talk to – Mr. Otari – before the first period. Meet you in class."
Lelouch's POV
C.C quickly walked away leaving a confused Suzaku staring behind her. I followed her. As soon as Suzaku was out of earshot, I decided to get some answers out of C.C. I knew she was impossible but she couldn't keep me in blue for so long.
"What the hell was that? Why don't you answer me? Why's Suzaku here? Why am I here? Am I the emperor? What about-"
"Shut up for now. It's 8 - time for the English class. We'll go to class at 5 past 8 and you'll get a few answers then."
"Okay. But I need some explanations after this stupid class."
As if ignoring what I had said, continued, "You are getting your Christmas or winter holidays from next week, just so you know."
"Chris-"
She cut me off, as usual. "By the way, Shirley woke up yesterday. You're supposed to go see her today if you have enough courage that is."
"Shir-" I stopped at that moment. Images of the accident went through my mind. I had taken her to the hospital right after she had fainted. I had hoped with all my heart that she had lived. Miraculously enough, she hadn't died. But the doctors had said that she was going to stay in coma. For how long, even they didn't know but she had at least managed to survive. Since, I now knew that it had been 4 months since my own death – or the death that I had thought was death – I could say that she had been unconscious for about five months. It was unbelievable. I knew that it was all because of the Geass. I couldn't forgive myself for what happened to Shirley or to anyone else. This now reminded me of my Geass.
As I came to my senses, I opened my mouth to speak but closed it as soon as C.C decided not to let me speak. "Let's go to class, Lelouch Vi Britannia."
I didn't speak up and walked with her to the English class. Mrs. Tamaki had started the class on time as usual. We reached the class and had stood for just half a second when Mrs. Tamaki noticed us and spoke, "Come in, Your Majesty." She actually bowed before me while saying that. My eyes grew wide. I had't expected a teacher that I saw everyday and respected as well, bow before me. Now I knew that everyone saw me as who I was but this sure as hell was quite uncomfortable.
I thought of taking C.C away from there and demand her for some answers for the final time now. I was going to force her to answer anyway I could but then I thought it appropriate to just enter the class, sit and wait till it was over. So, the decided on the latter and entered the class. I saw my usual seat beside Suzaku that was empty. I went and sat there while C.C sat at the seat that was in front of me. As Mrs. Tamaki resumed her lecture about the English literature, I looked around me. Everything was just the same – except for the fact that I could feel it in the air that everyone knew who I was and they didn't even hate me. Didn't people realize that I was supposed to be the "demon king"? The cruel emperor who took many lives and forced people to live the way he had wanted them to? The whole class passed with me thinking about various different possibilities for the on-going situation. It wasn't before C.C nudged me that I realized that not even the class was over, but everyone had left too. C.C and I were the only ones left in the class.

Author's Note: I know I ended it quite suddenly and the story sort of doesn't make much sense but I think I will explain more later. Although I doubt that I'll be able to, since I do not know what I'm writing either! =P Do review!
