A/N: Hello, everyone. This is my 2nd fanfiction, so please be nice, but I hope you enjoy. The characters are most likely out of character, because to be honest, it's been quite a while since I've last seen Code Geass. Also, I know it's spelled as C.C., but I will most likely write C2, since that's how it's supposed to be said.

Disclaimer: Code Geass, and anything have to do with one of the greatest animes ever (in my opinion), is not mine.

The wooden door to the noisy and crowded inn opened suddenly and forcefully, attracting the attention of all of the villagers who were sharing the day's news and gossip.. In the doorway stood a tall girl who looked about 17. She had her long, waist-length green hair tied in a braid, while her bangs were long enough to be seen under her bright red boater hat. A white dress, with a green and red plaid layered over the skirt, graced her elegant figure.

All eyes were drawn to the black corset she wore over her dress, which had a fat cloth pouch tied. Jingling with every step she took, she came up to the bar, set down a large, brown suitcase and asked in a lazy drawl, "Where's the innkeeper?"

The room went completely still, save for the strange girl, as the men were slightly shocked by the condescending tone of voice she had used. The clattering of a wooden stool falling shattered the silence, and a wiry man with glasses stood up and nervously announced, "I-I'm the owner."

"I need room and board."

"F-for how long, miss?"

"An indefinite amount of time. We'll pay when we leave."

"I'm s-sorry, but you need to pay before I give you a ro-"

Her gaze drilled into the nervous blue eyes of the timid man, and he gulped. Carefully emphasizing each word, she said, "I will pay… When... WeLeave."

A grubby, overweight man sitting nearby laughed and asked, "We? Don't tell me there's another pretty lady with looks the likes of you."

The teenage girl ignored him and said, "Will you hurry up?"

Everyone turned back to the door, while the confident intruder looked impatient. The door opened again, allowing a tall slender figure into the semi-dark room. Strangely enough, he kept his wide-brimmed straw hat on, even though he was hidden from the sun's bright rays. The mysterious person walked up to the girl, who asked angrily, "What took so long?"

They didn't answer, and she rolled her eyes. Turning back to the anxious man and repeated, "Room and board. Now."

Frightened from her tone of voice, he licked his lips and slid a key across to her. Snatching it up, she demanded, "Where's our room?"

Hesitantly, the owner of the establishment pointed to the rickety stairs. The green-haired girl picked up her suitcase, and the silent man in the hat followed. Only when she had carefully shut the door, locked it, and drew the curtains of the window after closing them, did the unsociable man take off his hat. Taking off the balaclava that covered the lower half of his face, he turned around and faced his accomplice.

"What took so long?"

"The innkeeper refused to give us a room without paying for it first. He was scared of us running off without paying. But that won't happen, will it, Lelouch?"

A/N: :O I hope you like it. Please review, I don't really like flames as much as the next author. Thank you for reading! Oh, more chapters to come if the response is good, so please support if curious to know what unfolds!
