Title: A Little Black Magic
Disclaimer: I do not own Code Geass. If I did, there would be more screen time with these two.

A barrage of bullet took her down. There was blood everywhere. Her blood.
The Black Knights were holding out. They would be fine without him for a while. He asked Kallen to secure an area for him. To bury the body, he told the others. C.C. had been shot down for all of them to see. Her eyes looked lifeless to the rest of them.
She, Zero's supposed lover, was dead to them.
Zero knew. No, Lelouch knew better.
And yet, why were his eyes tearing up?
"C.C., don't leave me!" He snarled. The geass sigil in his eyes lit up, his normal violet-blue hue turned darker against the red bird. It was futile. The power of the Kings didn't work on her. His left hand cradled the back of her head while his other arm wrapped around her waist.
She was his accomplice. If she was the witch, he was the demon, the warlock.
She had done this to protect him.
He remembered in the beginning, before she gave him his power. She screamed out before getting shot by the Royal Guard back then. "He mustn't die!"
Lelouch held back his cry. At that moment, a pale hand twitched.
"Silly boy…"
And a dead witch rose from the dead with a kiss.
