Chapter One

Ashford Academy

"Lelouch….Lelouch wake up. Lelouch." Sparkling amethyst slowly opened. To see a young boy with light tan hair and lavender eyes.

"I'm up what do you want Rolo."

"Lunch is over the bell just rang we need to get to class."

"Go on without me."

"But brother you can't ditch you've already skipped you first two morning classes. And I know you're going to ditch physical ed."

"Rolo don't worry about me. Go on I promise I'll go to my important classes tomorrow."

"Fine, talk to you later, brother." Rolo walked away to give on last look towards his brother before rushing off. Lelouch laid back on the grass. Closing his eyes while listening to the light breeze the rustle of the leaves above him. When suddenly he felt something jump on his stomach. He opened his eyes to see a grey cat with black spots. The cat began purring against his stomach while snuggling closer.

"ARTHUR!" Lelouch sat up when he heard someone was coming closer. A young boy with messy chocolate hair with stunning green eyes. As the boy drew closer, Lelouch noticed him hesitant.

"Um is this your cat?"

Again he hesitanted. "Yea" Lelouch stood up and handed the cat to him. "Thanks."

"Hey are you new? I've never seen you around before, or are you in a different grade level? But you do seem the same age as me. Who are you?"

'He doesn't remember me. I knew Lelouch memories were erased of him being a prince and Nunnally but me as well? It's better this way right? A new life.'

The boy looked overwhelmed with what he just said, but then started laughing. "Hahaha my-my name is Suzaku Kururugi and yea I'm new I just transferred here."

"Are you Japanese?" The Suzaku's eyes widended at the word.

"Yes I am an eleven." Suzaku emphasized the last word, greatly.

Lelouch looked at him indifferntly. "My name is Lelouch Lamperouge." Lelouch held his hand, there was a long pause. "You're supposed to shake it."

Suzaku blushed but sternly shook his hand. "I know that.....hey aren't you supposed to be in class?"

"I could ask the same thing, Suzaku." Lelouch sat down in the grass.

"Um well I was um." Lelouch looked at him from the corner of his eye. Figuring out that the boy was trying to think of lie.

"Well since your're new follow me." Suzaku obviously confused as Lelouch was started to walk. Lelouch stopped and turned around. "Come on, already." Suzaku soon followed.

The Classroom

After dropping Aruther off in Suzaku's room, they walked in silence back to the class. Before they walked in, Lelouch stopped and looked back at Suzaku.

"Just follow my lead." He said. And as they walked in the whole class stopped and looked towards them.

"Hello Ms. Blair." Her chalk snapped in half.

"LELOUCH LAMPEROUGE." She growled out.

"Yes?" He asked innocently.

"Why are you walking into class when class is almost over?"

"Oh! Well I was called by the principle to show the new student around campus seeing as we have the same classes, it only makes since right?"

"New student?"

"Yes, he just transferred." He stepped aside. "Suzaku Kururugi."

Instantly everyone gasped at the mention of the name, while whispers were soon becoming loud chatter.

"Hey isn't he one of the Knight of Rounds"

"Yea, he's the Knight of Seven."

"Okay, okay, everyone clam down." She glared at Lelouch then sighed in a manner of defeat. "You win this time Lelouch next time two weeks of detention."

"Well I just need to make sure not to get caught, right?" Ms. Blair snapped just like her chalk.

"DETENTION NOW LELOUCH!" Lelouch smugly walked out of the classroom. Suzaku watched as he left seeing that some things never change, no matter what. The thought slightly saddened him.

AFTER SCHOOL

Lelouch was on roof, sleeping. When suddenly pain shot to left eye, he quickly sat up clutching his eye. Lelouch saw his brother come around the corner, instantly running to him.

"Brother!" But instead of his brother's voice, it was a soft sweet girl's voice. "Brother! Look!" The very sound of the voice turned his heart into lead, made his eyes heavy with unshed tears, and his throat tight with emotion. His head started to spin making him feel sick to the core. His whole body shook when his whole head felt like it was going to explode.

"BROTHER!" Lelouch eyes widened, but then quickly closed them when the light of the sun made him more dizzy.

"R-Rolo?"

"Brother have you taken your medicine yet?" He numbly shook his head 'no', feeling like his head was about to fall off. He heard his brother rummage throught his bag, hearing the rattle of the pill bottle.

"Brother open your mouth." He did as he was told. "Swallow."

Within a couple of mintues he was beginning to feel better.

"Thank you Rolo. I guess I fell asleep over the usual time." He looked at his brother, who was obviously stricken with worry. Lelouch sighed while ruffling Rolo's light tan hair. "Stop it with that look. I'm sorry this won't happen again, so stop pouting."

"Fine, but from now on you have to carry a watch with an alarm on it."

"Okay." Lelouch smiled, musing Rolo is more like the older brother than the other way around.
