Summary:

She has two older brothers, Lelouch, the very caring and yet sometimes a bad influence, and Rolo, the kind and sometimes nervous one. Kimi, although frightened very easily, always loved excitement. She usually tries to go with Lelouch when he goes off to gambling, but he doesn't let her go. Until our story starts..
In this tale, it's Code Geass R2, but with another girl added woven into the threads of this anime. This girl discovers Lelouch's secret even before her own memories return. So, how in the world do you think she's gonna cope with this scariness? Can she make herself braver? Can she get her memories back before Lelouch finds out she knows, and if she gets them back, then what?
If you wanna find out, REVIEW D:
Okay, enjoy! :3
Chapter 1
------------------------------------
"Go go go!" Lelouch cried when he jumped into the motorcycle side, "Hurry, Rolo!"
"Nii-san!" Rolo said, looking around rapidly, "I..I don't have the key, I thought you had it!"
Lelouch looked at his 16 year old brother, "You don't have it? Rivalz said he didn't have it either! And he owns this damn thing..."
Rolo blinked nervously, sitting on the driver's seat. He was told Lelouch had the key, so he didn't bother trying to get it himself. And Lelouch was told that Rolo had the key, so he didn't bother trying to get it either, since Rivalz said he didn't have his own key to his motorcycle.
So, if neither Lelouch, Rolo nor Rivalz had the key, then who does? There was barely any time left, Coach Villeta would catch them even before they left the school.
"I hear my older brothers need Rivalz's key?"
Lelouch and Rolo turned their heads, and Lelouch smiled, "Oh, Kimi, you're a lifesaver, you've got the key?" He reached out from the motorcycle, "Come on, hand it over!"
There was a nice laugh from the little 14 year old high schooler who stood there. Her medium dark curly blonde hair that touched her shoulder bobbed and her purple with a hint of blue eyes sparkled.
"Why should I hand it if I'm not going anywhere?" Kimi smiled.
Rolo blinked, "Imou-chan...!"
Kimi looked behind her, "Oh, I believe I hear Villeta-sensei coming this way, Onii-tachi." Her grin grew wider, "You can't escape without the key to your escape car."
She rested her hands on her hips, "And there's no time to search me for the key, so whatever shall you do now?"
Her plan worked just like she thought. Lelouch had grabbed her wrist and pulled her in the small seat in front of him, "Give him the key already!"
Kimi nodded, stuck her fingers in her stockings and pulled out Rivalz's keys, tossing it to Rolo. Rolo instantly started the motor and they sped forward, Lelouch wrapping his arms around his sister's waist to keep her from falling out.
"Woo hoo!" Kimi cried happily as they sped out of the school, "I knew my plan would work!"
As they vanished, Shirley watched from the window of one of the buildings.
"Oh, Lelou.." she thought, "At it again...and this time your own sisters with you."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Goodness." Lelouch said, "At least let me have my freedom after school." He shook his head and gave Kimi a pair of glasses to wear to protect her eyes, because her wrist was covering her face.
"But, that's because you've been skipping all those classes, Nii-san." Rolo kept his eyes on the road as they drove along the highway.
Kimi was leaned forward resting her elbows on the front, enjoying the wind now that her eyes were protected, "Rolo, you know Lelouch thinks their flat out arduous, right?"
Lelouch had a piece of bread with him, and he tore some and held it out to Rolo, "It's a snack from the President."
Rolo hesitated, and when he leaned over to get it, they almost fell off the highway.
Kimi shrieked and grabbed whatever piece of her seat she grabbed a hold of.
"Whoah, you okay?" Lelouch asked quickly to his sister, but Kimi only looked back at him with no more fear in her face. More like she experienced an adreniline rush.
"Now, that..was amazing." She said.
Lelouch smiled at her, and Kimi looked back forward on the road, and over to the side.
She sighed to herself, thinking of different things, "Well, 'tis been a year since that rebellion that Zero incited, the Black Rebellion...so, Area 11 has calmed down quite alot. Back during the incident, there were alot of rumours. Me and my too older brothers even thought about returning back to the mainland Britannia. But...I kind of like it here better."
That was when Rolo broke the silence, "Did you submit your future course inquiry, Nii-san?"
Kimi and Lelouch looked at him, as Rolo continued, "Villeta-sensei's was rather angry about it. Are you going to college?"
"I haven't decided." Lelouch replied, "I'm rather tired of being a student, however, the thought of being used by other people is..."
Kimi laughed softly, "That's just like you, Lelouch."
But she looked away from her brother, "But, it's pointless, isn't it?" She thought, "Even if he went into the workforce, there's always going to be big enterprises and nobles sitting at the top, a completed world."
As they stopped at a stoplight, she noticed the giant T.V on the side of the building. A row of prisoners were being excecuted right there, live, for all the world to see.
Her hand, which was on the side of the motorcycle, tightened it's grip unless Lelouch gently laid a hand on it. Of course he knows what she's thinking. He's her brother, he knows practically everything.
She looked away, "We're just being pieced into hierarchy made by grown-ups." The man on the screen was shouting out things about the Elevens not being a proper race and how they should be controlled and educated.
"The Elevens lost." Kimi lowered her head, "They had no power. Had they not done anything, they wouldn't have been downgraded to a remedial area territory." She sighed once more, "Zero, how foolish you are. No matter what you do, the world is..."
She didn't even bother to finish her thought.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Ah, so cool!" Kimi leaped out from her seat, "So this is the Babel Tower! It's so nice to know where my brother goes to gamble in chess! Who knows, maybe I can play chess myself!"
"You were never supposed to come here in the first place." Lelouch removed his glasses, "And Rolo just needed to bring me here."
Kimi leaned forward, "But, if I wasn't there earlier before we left, I would've still had the key and YOU would've been caught and forced to take 20 laps in the gym!"
Lelouch flinched, "It's still dangerous. This match will be illegal."
"Counseling won't cut it this time." Rolo reminded him as he took off his helmet.
"Police? Please."
"But, why?" Rolo's short brown hair looked brighter from the light in the parking lot, "Nii-san, you're not in need of dire money, right?"
"Obviously, he wants to fight stronger opponents." Kimi grinned.
Lelouch grabbed his chess suitcase, and began walking, his siblings following behind.
XXXXX
But, as they rode up the elevator in the who knows, 100 story building?, Kimi thought as she stared out the windows, "Just a lie. A way to kill time, I bet. Maybe he---"
"Kimi."
Kimi turned her head to Lelouch who was holding his left hand out to her. Realizing what he wanted, she shook her head, "Ohhh no."
"Ohhh yes." Lelouch smirked.
"I'm not gonna have myself being dragged around by a protective older brother!" Kimi shoved her hands behind her back.
Lelouch looked at her for a second, then in an instant, pressed every single button on the elevator wall. Kimi gasped in shock.
Rolo made a small smile, "I guess we'll come get you when we're done, Imou-chan."
Kimi gave a shout of frustration and as soon as the elevator door began to move, she had grabbed Lelouch's hand and he yanked her out of the elevator.
Now keeping a hard grip on her right hand, Lelouch smiled, "I'm glad you comply, Kimi."
Kimi rolled her eyes, then as they began to walk through, Kimi forgot her anger and gazed around in wonder. "Casino.." she murmured, "Nice..."
It had everything a casino usually has. Slots, card games, the rich people. It's just that Kimi hasn't technically been in one before.
The siblings walked through a little bit, and Kimi gaped at the sight of a wrestling match in the casino too. People could watch from high place as different random guys would attempt to kill each other.
They watched the scene for a few seconds, when Rolo whispered, "Nii-san, let's go home. This place--"
"It's alright, no?" Lelouch interrupted, "It's rather simple to understand. Look."
Kimi raised her head to see some Britannian people on the other side, cheering the wrestlers on they beat each other up.
"We, Britannians, are the ones laughing and playing," Lelouch looked serious, "The Elevens are the ones laughed at and working. Even if we take our eyes away from this, the end result is.."
"But, even so.." Rolo started.
"I get it." Kimi said, "But its the truth." Lelouch began to pull her away as he walked in another direction, "The Elevens lost twice."
"Once under Prime Minister Kururugi, and once under Zero." Lelouch said, "They are powerless, yet they rebel---"
Suddenly I bumped into his back cause he stopped, then I heard a woman's voice, "Ah, forgive me!"
I looked over, and I saw a very attractive pink haired woman, wearing a pink bunny outfit. Kimi blinked. Apparantly Lelouch had accidently knocked into this woman, and the woman spilled something on him.
"It's all right." Lelouch said simply, as the woman tried to wipe up the mess.
"But I'm an Eleven, and you're a Britannian student." The woman didn't look up at him.
"Then, all the more." Lelouch let go of Kimi's hand and kneeled down in front of the woman, "I don't like this. This brandishing of my status."
"But, people with no power must bear it with patience," The woman looked at Lelouch in the eyes, and Kimi saw her eyes were blue, "Even if it's towards the wrong people."
"You shouldn't push your values on my brother." Kimi butt in, and the lady looked at her, probably a little surprised that a 14 year old was in a casino.
"Forgive me." The lady repeated, flipping her cloth she was cleaning with around, and Kimi blinked. Did she have some thing in her hand?
Suddenly the woman was yanked back as a Britannian man had grabbed her hair.
"Let me take a look at your face." He said, inspecting the woman, "Hmm, nice merchandise."
Lelouch stood up, as another guy said, "I'm happy for you that your bunny hunting today resulted in many prizes!"
That's when Kimi noticed three other women dressed as bunnies, only they were handcuffed.
"I'm not merchandise!" The pink haired lady protested.
"You are." The noble said, "The people who do not win have no win." He then cracked some walnuts in his hands, "Curse your own powerless birth. Even His Majesty said it."
"The Emporer.." Lelouch widened his eyes.
"'The survival of the fittest.'" The noble smiled, "That is the rule of the world."
"Nii-san." Rolo whispered, "He's from the mafia."
Kimi couldn't take it anymore, "How arrogant." She said out loud, "You think you're the 'fit' one?" She shook her head smiling.
The noble stood up, the pink lady's hair still in his hand, "Girlie, this is the world of adults."
"Then, between a student and the world of adults--"
Lelouch shoved her back, "Let's determine who's on the "fit" side, with this for now." He opened his briefcase, revealing the items for a chess game. Then for a split second, he looked at Kimi with one of those scary serious "I-am-SO-gonna-kill-you-when-we-get-home" looks.
"With chess?" The noble asked.
"Nii-san, don't!" Rolo cried.
"It's too late." The noble said, and he looked at his bodyguard friends, "Right?"
The bodyguard friends began to laugh along with their employer, and the noble let go of the woman, "Students know absolutely nothing at all."
"That's not accurate, Mr. Black King."
The noble raised an eyebrow.
Kimi smiled, "That's right. You're rather popular in this part of the world, right?" She was elbowed rather hard in the space between her heart and her armpit by Lelouch.
"Oh, so your smart older brother challenges me knowing this, huh?" The noble cracked his walnuts.
Kimi tried not to jump around in excitement, even though the sharp pain from Lelouch's elbow was unbearable.
"Finally, I get to watch Lelouch play chess!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Checkmate." Lelouch said, as he placed his piece on the board.
Mr. Black King twitched, "I-Impossible!"
"A student won!" Someone in the crowd whispered.
"I can't believe the Black King lost..." Another person said.
"He easily beat the King..."
"It appears your side wasn't fit enough to survive." Lelouch remarked, smiling. Kimi's mouth was wide open, and Rolo kept a rough hand on her shoulder to keep her from exploding with happiness.
The Black King shrugged, "What to do now? If rumors of this were to spread, I wouldn't have any face to hang onto anymore."
"I don't have a tendency to spread rumors--"
"No, student." The Black King interrupted, "I'm reffering to the cheap shot you pulled."
"Cheap shot?" Lelouch asked, blinking in surprise.
"What a bad boy..."
"Wait a second--!"
"A cheap shot in chess?" The pink bunny woman asked in shock.
"There's no way.." Rolo whispered.
"You've got to be kidding!" Kimi shouted, practically punching Rolo away and she stepped forward, "My brother did not cheat and you can't prove it! You all damn well know you can't cheat in chess!"
The Black King looked at her, then turned his head back to hid bodyguards, "Arrest the student. Now, time to create some evidence."
Lelouch stood up, "You dirty adult!"
"There is no value to things that are "right"..." The Black King had pulled out a gun.
Suddenly becoming frightened, Kimi held her arms out in a futile attempt to keep the bodyguards away.
The Black King just laughed, "Pitiful."
One of the bodyguards came up to Kimi and quickly grabbed her hair, yanking it really hard, and Kimi cried out in pain. Then she was thrown onto the floor and she rolled about 5 feet.
"Kimi!" Lelouch cried, but before he could move, the bodyguards had grabbed him and shoved his head onto the table.
Suddenly everything began to shake rapidly, lights began to flicker, and people began to panic. Kimi weakly raised her head and saw the Black King and the pink bunny lady.
"Terrorist?!" The Black King exclaimed, and then immediately the pink bunny girl ripped off her ears, punched the guy in the face, then flipped around and kicked him one more time, and he fell down.
Kimi suddenly felt herself being lifted up onto her feet, and she winced.
"Kimi, are you alright?!" It was Lelouch, and Kimi nodded.
Then the bunny girl grabbed Lelouch's wrist, "Come, this way!" She pulled him and Kimi throughout the chaos.
"Wait!" Kimi cried, "What about Rolo?!"
"Nii-san! Imou-chan!" Rolo shouted, running.
It suddenly grew darker as the roof collapsed and several Knightmares came reeling down into the casino.
If Kimi wasn't in terrible pain, and if she wasn't in danger, she would've thought the sight was amazing.
Lelouch, trying to support her sister from falling, watched in shock and fear, "What is this? What's happening? What's happening?!"
Kimi was thinking of the same thing.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Rolo had pushed the bunny girl back and now had control of where Lelouch and Kimi were running.
"Nii-san, this way!" He said.
"Slow down, Rolo, Kimi's hurt!" Lelouch kept his arm around Kimi's waist.
"I'm fine, I'm fine." Kimi said, "I was just thrown 20 feet. No need to worry. But.." They ran through the mall section of the floor, "What are the remnants of the Black Knights doing here, Lelouch?"
Then another Knightmare different from the others came through the glass roof and landed in front of Lelouch and Kimi.
"WHOAH! THAT IS HUGE!!" Kimi's eyes were wide, and Lelouch pulled her back closer to him.
The Knightmare held it's hand out to the siblings and it looked like it was doing some scanning thing.
Then more Knightmares came, and Rolo said happily, "It's the Britannian army!"
Bullets were then shot too close to Lelouch, Rolo and Kimi, and then ran out of the way.
Kimi found a door, then ran through, "Onii-tachi, in here!"
Lelouch and Rolo ran in, and Kimi moved the door closed, then backed away, breathing hard.
Then she looked down, "What's going on..? That Knightmare looked like it was..." She resisted the urge to cry, but she knew she was failing miserably.
She held a wrist over her eyes as the tears came down, "O-Onii-tachi....I-I'm scared...I'm afraid one of us are going to get hurt..."
Lelouch quickly came up to her and put his arms around her, "Please don't worry, Kimi. I promise I'll get you guys out of here."
Kimi wiped her eyes, "That's right. I know you'll find a way."
Rolo nodded, "Yes, you will."
Then Kimi saw something. It looked like someone with a gun...pointed at Rolo.
Instantly she broke away from Lelouch, "ROLO!" She screamed, running up to him and pushing him to the ground as soon as the bullets were shot. Kimi tried to move herself, then felt something weird.
A strange terrible burn on her left forearm. She barely looked down to see a hole ripped in the arm of her uniform jacket, and a wound where a bullet had barely, barely scratched.
Her eyes widened. Blood has never bothered her, but the fact that she herself had this...was a little different.
There was a big explosion, and then she felt no floor.
"Why am I so accident-prone?" Was the first thought that crossed her mind.
Both of her brothers reacted at once. They practically jumped over the edge reaching for her. She did feel them, their hands in her own, then their fingertips, then nothing.
Last thing she heard was her own name being screamed out.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Tuesdays...Apple Sauce Day...hang on, I don't even like applesauce."
She sat up, rubbing her head. How long had she been out? She realized she was on plastic. Some sort of construction plastic broke her fall.
And then she came to her senses, "Lelouch...Rolo..." She looked up into darkness, "Onii-tachi!!"
Her voice only echoed. She grabbed her cell phone and opened it. But there was no signal.
"No signal?" She thought, "At this rate, we're...my brothers! I've gotta help them!"
She began limping up the stairs as fast as she could, clutching her forearm, which thankfully wasn't bleeding. She was very lucky to have only a barely grazed wound, but it burned like crazy.
"I can't let my brothers think I'm weak. Just because of my age and size doesn't mean I shouldn't ignore them!" She ran higher and then she reached a certain floor.
She ran around a corner, and then covering her mouth, gave a quiet muffled scream.
Dead bodies. Everywhere. Gone. Dead. Covered in blood.
"Dead.." She kept repeating the word in her mind. She suddenly felt dizzy.
She looked around a big, then she widened her eyes. It was Lelouch. He was over around the other side of the room. He hadn't noticed her yet.
"Lelouch.." She whispered, tears filling her eyes. She had found her brother. She then took a step, before noticing Lelouch looking at something else.
She followed his gaze, and then backed up quickly by the wall. It was a Knightmare. It looked like the same one from before, the one that acted weird to her and her brother.
"Was it waiting for Lelouch?" She thought, as the door on the back of the Knightmare opened, "Is the pilot going to kill Lelouch?! I can't let him, what should I---"
"Lelouch." A firm feminine voice from the Knightmare came out suddenly. The Knightmare turned, and there was a woman in a white, red and yellow suit standing there. Kimi thought she looked beautiful, with long lime green hair and gold eyes, what was a pretty girl like her piloting a Knightmare for?
"We've come for you, Lelouch." The woman said, "I am your ally." Some light began to shine on her, "Britannia is your enemy."
Kimi blinked. "Should I move? N-No, I need to wait 'till the right moment."
The mysterious lady then said, "You and I made a pact, no? Only I know who you truly are."
Lelouch then stood up, and he said something Kimi couldn't hear. Then after some hesitation, he began to walk toward the green-haired girl.
This was her chance. She needed to run in there, grab her brother, and get out. She then took a step, and then.
BANG
She froze. Who just shot a gun? She looked down to see if there was any blood seeping out of her. Then she saw the girl was falling over. It looked so slowly.
Then the girl whispered, "Le-Lelouch..."
Lelouch then ran forward and caught the girl as soon as she fell over.
"Hey!" Lelouch cried, but the girl didn't respond. Kimi could tell she was already dead.
Looking forward, she saw several soldiers and a Knighmare in the middle of them.
"The Britannian Army?" She whispered to herself.
Suddenly all the soldiers came running with some sort of thing strapped to their backs, and they began shooting purple fire all over the dead bodies.
"Hey!" Lelouch cried, "What are you all doing?! Wait a sec--"
There was suddenly screaming, and Lelouch shouted, "Hey, they're still alive!!"
Two gunshots, then silence. Lelouch looked back.
The Knightmare opened and a guy popped out, "Thank you for your role, Lelouch Lamperouge."
"Role?" Lelouch asked, "What are you talking about?"
"We have been watching you for quite some time." The man pulled out a small book, and then reads: "6:59, wakes up. 7:12, watch news and eats breakfast with brother and sister. No opinion towards the contents of the news. 8:45, goes to school. Skip homeroom and the first session and read a book on the roof. The second session, physics.."
"That's my..." Lelouch whispered, "..schedule..for today."
Kimi stayed frozen on the spot around the corner, trying to ignore all the burning bodies and the purple fire making her sweat.
"Call it a breeding log." The man said, "For the bait."
"Bait?"
"Or you can call it a trap. One to lure out that witch...C.C!"
"Wait a second!" Lelouch cried, "If you know my schedule, then you must know where my sister is! Where is she?!"
"Your "sister's" location is unknown to us. It's most likely that girl simply perished in the ambush."
Kimi couldn't move at the moment. She knew Lelouch had to survive a little bit of thinking she was dead.
"Am I too scared to move?" She thought, "Is that why I'm being so quiet? If it's better that one of us survives, then shouldn't Lelouch live on and not me?!"
"But, what's going on here?!" Lelouch shouted, "Why won't you tell me?!"
"I am a baron." The stranger in the Knightmare replied, "I have no intention of talking with the bait any longer. Now, it's time for the execution. There are no longer and witnesses now."
All of the soldiers on the ground all pointed their guns to Lelouch and the dead girl known as C.C in his arms.
"No more being frightened, Kimi." Kimi thought, clenching her fists, "I'll make a distraction, I'll make them all go after me. I know Lelouch will get the message to run away when they're not looking."
She started slowly moving closer. Maybe she could grab some rocks? There had to be something she could do!
She then turned her head to get one last glance at her brother. But then something happened. The dead girl moved. Kimi's eyes widened.
The girl actually sat up, grabbed Lelouch and..kissed him!
Kimi's jaw dropped, "What the..?!" She took a step back, fear coming back, "S-She just came back to life?!"
She saw something flash between the two as they kissed. Something was going on.
Then they broke apart, and then Lelouch spoke, but he sounded so different, "Before you execute me, answer a question for me." The zombie girl and him stood up.
All the men gasped, and one of them exclaimed, "She's alive! But she was shot through the heart!"
Lelouch began taking a few steps forward, "If powerlessness is a sin, then is power justice? Is revenge a sin? Is friendship enough for justice?"
"There is neither sin nor justice." The Baron replied, "All that remains for bait is the truth known as death."
Kimi blinked, "Le-Lelouch.." She whispered.
"I see." Her brother said, "Then, you shall all leave behind the truth."
He then swiped his left hand in front of him, "Lelouch Vi Britannia commands you..." He then stretched it to his left, and Kimi saw something different in his eye.
There was a red glowing symbol in his left eye. She wasn't sure if she was delusional or not. But it looked real.
"All of you..." His changed eye widened, "Die!!"
Right before he said the word "die" Kimi looked over to her left to where all the men and the Baron was. There was a red flash.
"It can't be.." The Baron started, but then stopped.
All of their eyes were outlined in a glowing red. And they all said, "Yes, Your Highness!"
The soldiers pointed their machine guns at each other, and the Baron pointed a handgun right at his neck.
And they all pulled the trigger, while Lelouch stood there watching their blood go everywhere without changing expression.
Kimi, her eyes wide, tried not to trip as she backed up. She couldn't be seen. Not now.
That wasn't Lelouch anymore. No it wasn't.
"No.." Tears filled her eyes, "He's still Lelouch. He's just...not my brother anymore."
She couldn't fully comphrehend what was going on around her, and when the other Knightmares crashed through the roof, she was already gone.
Well, that's my first chapter! I hope you think this story could be interesting (I'm not sure what to do with Kimi in the 2nd chapter during the battle of the second episode, I could take suggestions :D)
Okay, thanks for reading! ^^
