I: Memories

'There's something… missing. I don't what it is but I have a feeling that if I found it, it will complete me.'

A young man stood on the rooftop of the Ashford Academy, silently watching as the sun sets on the horizon. Warm breeze started to get cold as the night approaches but it never bothered him. Cold seems to fit his personality.

'Why do I feel like everything I have come to believe was a lie? Is it because I never get satisfaction in things that I do?' He thought.

'Or is it because I crave something but failed to achieve it?'

Sometimes, when he was relaxed and alone, memories started to flood his mind like a water rushing down the falls. He was skeptical if it was really his memories; he can't remember if the things in his memories happened. He was even positively sure that he has no amnesia for he can still remember most of his memories from childhood and up to now.

Selective amnesia, perhaps?

No, that won't be possible. He entertained the idea of going to a neurologist to make sure that he has no selective amnesia but he remembered that he did not woke up one morning and have a worriedly sick Rolo on his side. There was a couple of times, but it did not involve him having an accident and strapped on a hospital bed. He didn't even remembered Rolo telling him that he has amnesia.

Then what is it? What troubles his mind?

'I'm really confused. What is it, really?'

"Lulu?"

A voice interrupted his musings. He turned around and saw his fellow classmate, Shirley, standing at the entrance of the rooftop garden. There was worry plastered on her face as she observed him.

"What is really happening with you, Lelouch?" She said.

It was rare when she called him of his full name and not the silly nickname he have come to appreciate. If she uses his full name, it means that he is in serious trouble and not because of worriedness.

It was even rare for her to be worried.

"Does the memories still bothers you?"

Lelouch hung his head in shame. Shame because he still can't decode the message and meaning of his memories.

"You know you can't hide something to me, right? I'll always find a way to find out about your problems." She teased and instantly, the once morose look of Lelouch slightly brightened.

"I," he started, "I really don't know, Shirl."

Shirley was one of his few friends that he always confides in but she was the only one who knew about his current problem. He can't bring himself to tell it to his other friends because he was afraid that Rolo might found out about it. He thought that it was ridiculous of him to fear his younger brother but he can't help feeling it.

He even felt that he needed not to trust him with certain secrets because his instincts yells at him not to. Skeptical at first but he followed what his instincts was saying because it never failed him even once.

"Why don't you tell it to your brother, then? If it still bothers you?"

Lelouch remained silent for a couple of minutes, choosing to stare at the darkening horizon. After letting the dark horizon compelled him, he finally answered.

"My mind tells me to tell him… but my instincts yells that he can't be trusted."

Silence filled the air after that. He looked at her and saw her staring at him with wide eyes.

"Why do you say that? He's your brother for Pete's sake!" She hissed quietly.

Lelouch, once again, hung his head in shame. He should've expected Shirley's reaction but he didn't. "I know, Shirley, I know! But you knew that my instincts was always right!"

"Then what will you do about it? You'll fool Rolo."

"I know," he answered, "but I'll it to him when the right time comes. Now's not the time."

Shirley never said anything after that. She just let the silence surround them and continue her time alone with Lelouch without no one interrupting them. She only gets a rare chance to enjoy a time alone with her crush. She might as well spend it wisely and not let problems eat their time away.

Still, she was glad that he chose her to be the one to know about his problems. An opportunity that only comes rarely.

"Nii-san, Shirley? Milly was looking for the two of you." Rolo entered the rooftop garden, warily.

"Crap!" Shirley exclaimed. "I forgot to tell you that Madame Prez needs you to compute the total budget of Horticultural and Rugby Club!"

Lelouch pinched the bridge of his nose in irritation. "Milly still doesn't compute it?"

He proceeded to walk back inside, with Shirley and Rolo following his tail, to finish the jobs that Milly assigned to him.

Little does he know that there was a blue light that blinks slowly on the inside of his wrist. It was from a device that a certain group of super-powered humans implanted deep within him.

Later that night, Lelouch woke up from a nightmare.

The nightmare felt so real—he can still actually feel the pain from the nightmare even though he was now awake. The betrayal… the torture… the experiment. It all felt so real.

However, some people saved him. People with extraordinary powers and people that were far beyond than the ordinary humans… even the emperor.

"Metahumans?" He whispered.

He pondered the meaning of the word for a while before going back to sleep.

He still haven't noticed the blue light on his wrist, nor did he noticed the several cameras and an invisible figure that guards him.
