Britannian Imperial Calendar Year 2009, Japan
"A shrine?"
"It's like a japanese church."
"So in Japan, the king is also like the pope?"
"Heh, no. Japan doesn't have a king, they have a Prime Minister. They vote for him. The Kururugi home just happans to be a shrine, there's no special reason for it."
"Are you alright, Lelouch? It seems like an awfully long stair way."
"I-I'm fine, this is nothing!"
To be honest, it was a tough climb for a nine year old, but I was determind to do it. I had decided that no japanese would even touch Nunnally, ever. It had only been 4 months since our mother's, Marian the Flash's, death before our father, Charles Vi Britannia, Emperor of the Holy Britannian Empire, sent us to Japan as bargining chips for the cause. Nunnally and I were to stay at the Prime Minister of Japan's, Genbu Kururugi's, home. When we arrived, the place we were given was a tiny store house on the grounds of the Kururugi shrine. The first time I saw it, I just stood there, speechless.
"Lelouch, are we there yet?"
"U-uh, y-yeah."
"So tell me about our new home, what does it look like?"
"I-It's really nice! The walls are as white as snow, a-and theres a picture window! With flowers all around it!"
"It sounds like Euphie's room, is it like that?"
"Yeah. It's a little small, but it'll be okay for the two of us.*gasp* Huh! Who's there!?"
"Huh?"
"Hey! You show your self to me, right now!"
I heard shuffling on the second floor, before I saw a boy with an ignorant expression on his face stand.
"Don't talk like you're all big! This was my place a long time before you ever came here!"
"Your place?"
"That's right! You Britannians have a lot of nerve. You think you can just come here and take over Japan."
"Japan takes over other countries too, but you do it secretly with money and financial control."
"W-well, I-..."
"Theres not much difference between Japan and Britannia at all."
"Thats a lie!"
"Oh yeah! Try asking your father about it!"
"You lie about every thing! The walls white as snow?!"
"Eh!"
"Theres no picture window in this store house!"
"Stop it!"
Without thinking, I charged at the boy, fists swinging, but. The boy was far more agile than I. He struck me continuously. I couldn't breath. I just layed there at his feet, collapsed and groveling.
"Ha! How do you like that! Stupid Brit! Don't ever insult us japanese!"
"Suzaku! I picked some flowers for th-wait! Whats going on here?!"
The boy stopped and turned, as did I and Nunnally. A girl, about my age, stood in the doorway. Her hands craddling white, red, and blue roses. She looked on, distraught by our actions.
"H-hikari!"
"Suzaku?! What are you doing?! Release him!"
"*gasp* T-that voice! Could it be?"
The girl turned to Nunnally questionably, then surprised as she walked towards her.
"D-don't you dare lay a finger on her!"
The boy hit me again in retaliation, more furious than before.
"Don't ever speak to Hikari that way!"
"Oh! It is you! Nunnally!"
I was surprised, that this japanese girl knew Nunnally's name. The girl dropped the flowers and embraced Nunnally, who in return was crying with her. Both me and the boy stood there, not knowing what to say.
"Oh, Nunnally! I've missed you so much! I heard what happened! I'm so sorry I couldn't see you and Lelouch! I wasn't permitted, but I know thats no excuse! I'm so sorry!"
"It's alright! I thought I would never see you again, Light!"
Light! I hadn't heard her name for over a year, ever since the day of her departure from the palace. The only difference in her appearance was her slightly longer ash brown hair.
"L-Light?"
Light turned to me, crying even more as she looked upon me. She let go of Nunnally carefully and ran to me, hugging me on the floor.
"L-lelouch!"
I didn't know what to say, I just sat up and held her. I honestly missed her, but that she would be here, now, was more than enough. The boy looked on, confused and still angry. Light finally let go and looked me over worriedly.
"Are you alright, Lelouch?"
"Hikari! Whats going on?! How do you know them?"
Light stood up and went to stand in front of the boy, grabbing his hand and looking him in the eyes kindly, yet sternly.
"Suzaku, these are my friends from the homeland, Lelouch and Nunnally. They are my god mother's children."
"Why are you friends with that stupid, lying Brit?!"
"Suzaku! Don't insult Lelouch!"
"He insulted Japan! How can you side with some one who speaks so lowly of our people!"
"L-Lelouch, is this true?"
I turned away from her gaze, I was never able to lie to her. Even then, when we were children.
"He deserves what he got, and I'd do it again! Britannians need to learn that we're not just going to let them come to our land and take over!"
"Lelouch isn't the Emperor of Britannia! Therefore, he shouldn't be treated like he was the person who made all those people suffer. He has no control over what his country does! Don't judge him so harshly!"
"I'll judge anyone who threatens Japan!"
The boy pushed passed Light and walked over to me, fist clenched. I continued to glare at him. Light ran over and kneeled in front of me, facing the boy.
"Suzaku! Sto-!"
The boy, that ignorant boy, had struck Light across the face. She fell to the ground and grabbed her right temple. The boy looked afraid, he looked between both his hand and Light.
"L-Light! I'm sorry, I-!"
Enraged, I tackled the boy. Both of us rolling around hitting one another. I could hear Nunnally calling out Light's name.
"Light! Light!"
"I'm fine, Nunnally. D-don't worry. Lelouch! Suzaku! Stop it!"
"Please, stop it! Stop hurting him!"
The boy and I stopped, trurning to the girls. Nunnally was close to tears holding Light's hand. The boy gasped as he looked at Nunnally.
"A-are you, blind?"
"Yes, now please! I don't know who you are, but I'll do anything, just stop hurting him!"
"Ah, y-you mean-?"
At first, he was so disturbed, he couldn't say anything, and then.
"I-I'm sorry!"
He dashed out of the store, like he was escaping. Light called out to him, but he was already out of sight. She walked over to me and helped me up, checking me over.
"Lelouch?! Are you alright?! Lelouch?!"
"I-I'm okay, Nunnally. H-he didn't hurt me that bad."
"Are you sure, Lelouch?"
"Yes, thank you, Light. What about your head?"
"Huh? Oh! Of course! I've gotten worse! Hehehe."
We smiled at one another then turned to where the boy ran off to. Nunnally wheeled between us.
"Who was he? He sounded like a boy, but-."
"That was Suzaku Kururugi, Prime Minister Genbu Kururugi's son."
We both turned to Light, then back at the door. That was how Suzaku and I first met, I'd grown surround by rivals and retainers, he was my first real friend, and one day, he would become my worst enemy............
