Okay, so this is based off the ending where Lelouch actually lives because he absorbed his father's power, even though that might have been a hoax I don't care I had an idea for a fanfic based on it so this is what you're getting. :) Please reveiw.

I do not own Code Geass

Only people who are strong enough to find death as an acceptable part of life are the ones who enjoy their time here on Earth. This simple truth was something CC had learned long ago. It was a truth she was aware Lelouch vi Britannia had learned recently.

"Right, Lelouch?" she asked as she finished her speech.

At first, the ex-world dictator only grinned. For what could he possibly say to add? Then, a thought struck him. "CC . . . What are we going to do now?"

CC sat up atop the hay stack and looked down upon the cart's driver. Her expression was one of shock. "What do you mean?"

"Well, I don't plan on living forever, and if I remember correctly, neither do you," Lelouch said, not bothering to take his eyes off the road.

"You could still kill me, you know. That was our contract," CC pointed out.

"I have no intention on going about my immortality alone. You won't escape me that easily."

CC smiled - although Lelouch could not see - and lay back down. "Very well . . . I don't really mind. To be quite honest, I've grown almost fond of your company."

"I agree," Lelouch admitted in that emotion-less way he always spoke.

For a few minutes, there was silence. CC stared up at the sky during this time, and thought. He's been so brave through all of this. Everything he did to make Nunnally happy, even giving her up along with all of his friends and comrades. But he's still the same dim teenager I met almost a year ago. Everything was for Nunnally, to make her happy, and he was too dumb to realize that she would be happy on her own if he had just stayed the way he was, without the power of geass and without the Black Knights. Although, had he not taken the geass power, he probably would have been killed, and either way, the same outcome would have followed. Perhaps this way, at least, Nunnally now has her sight, and Suzaku as well. Had Lelouch died, Suzaku wouldn't have been accused of Clovis's murder, and then sent to Ashford at all. Nunnally had to go through so much extra heart break as a result though, and Euphemia ended up dead. However, if I remember correctly, Suzaku met Euphemia as he was being released from the trail of Clovis's murder, and had Clovis not been murdered, Suzaku and Euphy both wouldn't have been in that exact place at that exact time and wouldn't have met. 'It is better to have loved and have lost than to never have loved' is the saying, correct? So after all of this, throughout everything, has more good come than bad? What would the world be like now had Lelouch vi Brittannia been shot that day?

"You do realize I have absolutely no idea where we're going, right?" Lelouch asked, breaking the silence.

"Well, nor do I," CC replied. "Just continue straight until you can't any more, at that point we'll go with your gut."

"My gut?" Lelouch asked. "Right now, my gut is telling me that I haven't eaten since yesterday. How about yours?"

"Okay, we'll go with the moss then."

"CC, we're in the surrounded by grass feilds. There's nothing for moss to grow on," Lelouch pointed out. "I think I see a town up ahead, should we go there?"

"Brilliant idea, dead world dictators walk into random no name towns all the time. Why just the other day, I saw Hitler in a McDonalds," CC said sarcastically.

Lelouch glared up at her. "My death was broadcast on national televison, I'm sure no one will question the fact that I bear a slight resemblance to Lelouch vi Britannia."

"Slight?" she repeated.

"Well, I haven't shaved in a few days," he said weakly.

"Perfect, your peach fuzz will save us."

"Arg-hey! I don't have peach fuzz! I'm a man!" Lelouch insisted.

"Whatever gets you to sleep at night," CC said as she rolled over onto her side. "Where's the nearest Pizza Hut? I'll just walk in and you can wait out with the cart. Pull your hat down or something."

"Not every town has a Pizza Hut," Lelouch muttered, but CC pretended not to hear him. At her request, he turned down the road that led to the approaching town. Sure enough, the first bulding they passed was indead, a Pizza Hut.

"Now what was that about every town?" CC asked smuggly as she hopped down from the hay stack.

"Damn you . . ." Lelouch murmured under his breath as she entered the resturante. He prayed she would order enough food to last them the next few days, and that she had been smart enough to bring money in with her.

"Hey!" someone called. Lelouch made a struggled noise and pulled his hat down lower over his eyes as he heard the sound of approaching foot steps. The same voice continued. "Have we met before?"

"Uh, I think not," Lelouch replied, trying to turn away from the boy who was talking to him.

The boy - not catching the hint - just turned with him. "Nah, you look very familiar . . . Oh! I know! Are you in any way related to the Britiannian Royal Family? You look just like that crazy Lelouch guy!"

"Uhm, I don't think so," Lelouch said. "I'm from a Britannian territory though."

"Maybe that's where I know you from then, I am too! I moved to the Chinese Federation two years ago, before it got split because my dad got a job here. What territory are you from?" the boy asked.

"Gah . . ." Lelouch had to think fast. There was no way he could pick a territory this could wouldn't somehow tie him to. It was impossible, this boy just talked way too much. Lelouch couldn't think straight. "I'm from . . . Area . . . 23."

That was the smallest Britannian territory after all. What were the odds this kid was from that place?

"Oh . . ." The boy sounded defeated. "I must not know you then. Sorry for wasting your time."

"N-no problem," Lelouch replied, trying harder than ever to hide his face. The boy ran off, and Lelouch sighed in releif. That damn kid was really getting annoying.

"I'm back."

Lelouch jumped at the sound of CC's voice. "Argh! Oh . . . Well that was quick."

She stood before him, holding three large pizza boxes. Then, she held out her phone. "I called in advance."

"How far in advance?" Lelouch asked.

"Fifteen minutes. Right after you decided to pull in here. Didn't you hear me on the phone?" she asked as she tossed the pizza into the back of the cart.

Lelouch helped her pull herself up on to the hay. "No, I didn't. Maybe my mind was elsewhere . . ."

"Hmm. Now let's go find a nice quiet place to eat. I think I saw a river just before we entered town, it's hidden in the grass so we don't need to worry about being found," CC said.

"Perfect," Lelouch agreed. He sat back down behind the horses and gave them the command to start walking. Following CC's instructions, he stired them down the road to a small patch of dirt. He jumped off the cart and tied the horses down to a nearby telephone pole, hoping no one would notice, or care enough to investigate. from that point, he and CC walked through the grass and to the river. CC layed out one of the blankets they had hidden in the hay on the ground and the two partners say down.

"This is nice," Lelouch said. "It's very peaceful by this river."

He bit into his peice of pizza, his stomach finally settling from the hunger that had been bothering him all day. As he scanned the perimeter of the river, his eye caught a gastly sight. "Ugh! What's that?"

He jumped to his feet and pulled CC up with him by her arm, causing her to let go of her highly anticipated pizza before she could even bite into it. "Hey! What are you doing, Lelouch!"

"Look there," Lelouch said, pointed across the river from them and over about twenty feet.

CC eyes widened. "A . . . a body?"
