Bugged:
Synopsis When Kallen Kisses Lelouch she leaves him bugged and the black knight overhear a sorrowful and bitter rant;
AU
Kozuki Kallen and the other Members of the Black Knight elites Gather around the Transceiver tuned to the bug Kallen planted on Lelouch. 'Why does this feel like I am betraying Lelouch…' Kallen thinks 'No he betrayed us, he used us as disposable pawns… but why did he tell me to "live on"? Why?'
Suddenly Lelouch's voice emanates from the speaker filled with sorrow and pain. "Lelouch's Audio Diary entry 17 to be archived in the restricted section of the imperial library… Damn it Kallen. Why did you have to kiss me? Why? I didn't need to be reminded about having to throw away my last shot at happiness thanks to those short sighted idiots, and that silver-tongued bastard Schniezel."
Kallen and the others stare at the transceiver stunned and Kallen thinks 'Wait… What?! His last shot at Happiness?...'
Lelouch continued bitterly "And for what? For What? The irrational suspicion that I had geassed them and the 'return' of Japan?" Then Lelouch's voice became even more bitter. "I wonder if they even understand the full price that they would have paid for Japan… those bastards betrayed not just me but the entire UFN in their greed… those fools just don't understand the worth of a great strategist. Yes they would have gotten Japan in exchange for my life… but for how long?... Hah… At best until Xingke dies… how long would that be? Two years? Three? In reality they sold both me and the world to Schniezel… Heh… Wonder if that has crossed any of their minds yet… Is three years of freedom for Japan worth the freedom of the entire world?" At this all of the listening members of the black knights pale not only did they sell their honor but also the world. "The really sad thing is if I fail to stop the Damocles soon Schniezel will rule the world in less than a week." This caused several members of the black knights to feel ill including Kallen.
"I could have been happy with you Kallen… but no those idiots took the word of their enemy at face value unquestioning… those idiots would even have taken your life to 'free you'… I just wish I had been able to argue with them without getting you killed too… but… no sense in both of us dying… they would have just thought I was manipulating them and fired… many of this world's sorrows seem to come from my family… all of mine arise from them too…" at this point Lelouch started sobbing. "Well… if everything… goes to plan… the royal family… will… go extinct… with my… death in… a couple months…" Following this anguished sobs emanated from the speakers.
"Oh god… Le… Lelouch…" Kallen said as tears ran down her face before adding to the puddle on the ground as she realized that the man she loved really is worthy of that love; and actually loved her back; but the joy of that revelation was first tempered by the obvious pain said man was in and then completely eliminated by the revelation that he was apparently suicidal… the rest of the Black Knights stood still completely shocked by what they heard.
After a few minutes of broken sobbing Lelouch pulled himself together enough to continue his entry. "Kallen… Oh Kallen… I wish you and I could have been able to be together… you could have been my queen; my empress… not my enemy… never my enemy… but though we can't be happy doesn't mean you can't be Kallen… my love… I swear I'll do everything in my power to create a world where you can find happiness even if those traitorous dogs don't deserve that world… even if the price includes you hating me for all eternity it'll be worth it if you can be happy my love… I just hope that one day you can forgive me for what I must do…" after a period of silence Lelouch said as calmly as possible "End of Entry" after a further period of incoherent sobbing Lelouch commented "God I can't rally my troops against Schniezel like this."
He changed out of his clothes and deposited them to get washed where the dampness shorted out the bug with a bit of loud static leaving the gathered Black Knights stunned into silence as Kallen wept on the ground the full realization of how much Lelouch actually loves her and just how badly she has betrayed that love hitting her full force.
Oghi spoke up "We can't trust this he obviously knew abou-" getting cut off by a flying uppercut from an enraged Kallen
"Get off your high horse Oghi… there was no way he could have known about that bug… NONE! Stop trying to rationalize the biggest mistake we have ever made. That rash decision not only turned our LEADER into an enemy; but forced the man I love who I just found out loves me back to push me away to save me from you, whereas Viletta, who claims to love you, SHOT YOU."
"LEAVE HER OUT OF THIS! SHE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!"
"SHE HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH IT! On her word you believed two Britannian Royals who had every reason to want ZERO DEAD... YOU would have SHOT ME the YOUNGER SISTER who you PROMISED your BEST FRIEND NAOTO you would PROTECT. And the rest of you… you weren't going to give him a chance to explain things at all and he could see that… Todoh you easily bought into the line that Lelouch blew General Katase up destroying the JLF… think about it for a second wouldn't a line like that be the perfect thing to turn you and the swords against Lelouch? And even if it is true? SO WHAT! You wouldn't have been able to do anywhere near as much as you did under Lelouch's leadership. We are all guilty of treason not just against Lelouch; but against the world and I refuse to allow Schniezel his way. We are all fools for believing our worst enemy on such weak evidence and none of YOU allowed him the chance to defend himself. At least I tried before he SAVED ME from all of YOU!" Kallen screamed at them before rushing off to the Guren with Ohgi yelling "STOP HER!"
A/N: Anywho I felt like trying my hand at creating something that is in part a tear jerker and I got this Idea from a fanfic by "Zeionia aka Disturbed" the title of said fic is Speak; I am not one to write much romance stuff but this was the best angle I could figure out for a tear jerker two torn hearts one which thought it had found refuge from the pain in hatred and the other cut adrift from all emotional support having lost everything and still trying to do right by his love.
Anyway Please review; please tell me how well I communicate the emotion in the piece.
