Japan_Area 11

Prologue

Suzaku Kururugi is now literally staring at the two children seating in front of him and his father in their tatami room. A skinny, fragile-looking boy around his age with complexion much paler than his is sitting closely to his younger sister, wearing on his tiny face a look painted with caution and doubts. The boy is eyeing the room as if he was assessing his current surrounding environment warily with his proud violet eyes. Suzaku would give that pair of clear, deep shade of violet eyes perfect score if it looks brighter and happier though. The violet eyes, however give the feeling that they were putting up barriers to distance their owners with others - eyes that only fill with doubts and caution.

He doesn't like this boy, Suzaku silently thought. What is his problem looking all wary and unfriendly when he is the one who asks them for favour? They will stay here in Suzaku house for a while and their protector are asking Suzaku's father to take good care of them. Proud and snobbish Britannian. Exactly the type Suzaku dislikes. Even though Suzaku can't help noticing how that violet shade is mesmerizing him.

The girl, on the other side, looks much kind-hearted and friendly. She has beautiful wavy brown hair and with azure eyes that always angelically smiles at everyone, a total contrast to her brother. She's probably around the age of entering primary school, Suzaku thought to himself. The girl looks nervous as her tiny hands are resting on her brothers', seeking comfort and assurance.

"Lelouch Lamperouge and Nunnally Lamperouge. They just arrived from Britannica, so there're lots of thing they may not know about Japan. Please guide them and take care of them." The auburn haired guy – their guardian introduced them briefly.

It appears that Suzaku's father and that auburn haired guy has reached consensus for letting the two kids staying in Suzaku's house before hand and now the guy only formally introduced the kids to them.

"They will stay with us for the time being Suzaku" _ Kururugi said. "Lelouch kun, do you mind staying in the same room with Suzaku? Since you're his age, maybe it's easier for him to look out for you and teaches you how things work." Kururugi continued brightly without noticing the change in his son's face who is now fuming over how his father decides things without asking for his opinion in advance.

It's my room to begin with. And why do I have to share room with that brat? It's not even like our house does not have enough room. Suzaku cursed inwardly.

"Yes, if that is what you arranged for us, I will follow your decision." The boy answered politely; at the same time, casting a playful look towards Suzaku. "However, please let Nunnally's room be as closed to the room I stay as possible if it is not to your inconvenience. Because I wish to stay closed to her as much as I can." The boy continued in his soft and determined voice.

"That would not hold any problem Lelouch kun." Kururugi smiled.

What's with that? Do they officially ignore my existence? It is MY ROOM for god shake.

"You definitely will welcome our new friend to your room right, Suzaku?" His father assumed.

That's not asking for opinion. That's forcing permission dad. Suzaku exploded in his head.

"Yes, as you please tou-san." He knows that his father will not take his refuse anyway.

"All right, then you shall lead Lelouch kun to your room Suzaku. Nunnally chan, you should go along with them too. Chihiro san here will lead you to your room which is right next to Suzaku's room." Kururugi gestured his maid Chihiro to go with them while speaking.

...

The night sky outside seems to ease the stiffled air by brushing cool breeze along the corridor... The late night spring slowly passes by and drifts itself towards the rainy seasons..

And Suzaku vaguely realizes that his peaceful life will definitely take a drastic change from that moment onwards when Lelouch and his sister make their sudden appearance at his house. For better or for worse? who knows… Still, a corner of his mind remains with the deep shade of violet as never before has it dawned on him that violet could have been this beautiful…

Author's note: Hi :D, this is my very 1st try for fan fic so it's bound to be a disaster one way or another T_T

and English is not my 1st language, so please bear with me . Moreover, since there's no one will to proof-read for me ... it's also bound to have several mistakes

I intend to make this fic 12 chapters long though haha (maybe too much for a noobish writer T_T) but I will try to achieve the goal

The setting of the fanfic, as you must've guessed, is the time when Lelouch and Nunnally were younger and 1st brought to Japan. I dont really remember if they really stay with the Kururugi in the original story but in this story they are.

One more thing, Nunnally is a normal child. She is weak and fragile but she has normal vision and is able to walk on her own :D ( I dont like making her all blind and disable )

... I hope you enjoy the story though :D

I appreciate comments and feedback as it's my 1st time trying ^^

Thanks very much for taking your time to read ^^
