Chapter 1: Welcome to Ashford, Witch.

It was already the break of dawn. I was sleeping nosily in bed, shifting over and over. I could hear the alarm clock beeping beside my bed but I did not bother to turn it off instead I just groaned, in a few seconds, I flew once again in dreamland. When I woke up, I don't have the spirit to glance at the alarm clock so I decided to just go to the shower. Time I was finish I could hear my phone ringing violently, I picked it up as I ruffled my raven locks with a towel, not aware that I was topless. Some water were dripping from my hair and launch on my bare chest. I shivered a little because of the sudden cold drop.

"Hmm?"

"Lelouch, Where the hell are you?! Look at the time!" A familiar voice greeted me. I glance at the clock and it was already...7:55?!

"Shi-" I was interrupted by the voice downs stairs.

"Onii-sama? Are you already done preparing?" The voice was quite loud, but at the same time soft and gentle. It belong to my beloved sister Nunally.

"Uh, yes! Coming!" I toss the phone elsewhere not bothering to hung up. Lelouch was insecure as to where that thing landed, he doesn't care though.

The time I was already in the dinning room. It was enormous, unlike other dinning rooms. The room was adorn with a stunningly beautiful walls. It has white marble floors, The big wooden mahogany table was placed at the center. The room also has various decorations. The huge clear windows was placed on the walls orderly. Outside, there seen a gorgeous garden with various admirable plants, sunlight passes through the clear window and landed on the marble floors, it gave a flawless look as it shines. Lelouch admired the beauty, he approached Nunally who was located at the end of the table.

"Good morning, Nunally." I greeted her with a warm smile.

"Ah, Onii-sama. Good morning." She greeted me back with her kind and gentle smile that always make me overwhelmed.

"I see you already ate your breakfast. Sorry that I left you alone." said with guilt.

"It alright, Onii-sama. Sayoko-san accompanied me all the time. By the way, aren't you eating breakfast?"

"No, I am kinda full. I'll just eat more in lunch don't worry about me. Come, we're gonna be late for school, Nunally."

She nodded and followed her brother to the the door.

As they we're outside their mansion. Actually, only the Lamperouge siblings, that is, Lelouch and Nunally, were living in that mansion. Their parents, Marianne and Charles Lamperouge, were in Britannia, as matter of fact, it was impossible that they can return or visit their children in Japan but they did tried their best. They ware managing wine business ( I am sorry that I didn't put the right word because I'm not certain on what the job is called ) in Britannia, they have a number of winery vineyard throughout the world but the parents decided to stay and manage their main vineyard, that is in Britannia. In this time, their Uncle Jeremiah or the siblings would prefer Jeremiah to be called, Uncle Orange. was the one who was caring for them. He was a righteous and loving man. Despite their parents were far away, Jeremiah could handle the siblings in his own hands, of course with care. There comes the driver Kaname Ougi, to do his daily routine and pick the Lamperouge siblings off to school. As Ougi descended from the vehicle, he walked to the the two and bowed down.

"There is no need of formalities, Ougi-san." Nunally voiced

"Good morning Ougi."

"Good morning as well, Master Lelouch." Ougi bowed

"Like Nunally said, no more formalities, it's just us, Ougi."

Haah, this kids. Ougi chuckled. He led the way to the black Bentley and opened the door for them. As they went inside, followed by Ougi, they were now off to school. Ashford Academy wasn't really that far from their home, it's just like, hmmm let see... 7 kilometers maybe? Lelouch just sat there boredly looking from the window, street lights and stuffs. They passed at the store called 'Pizza Hut' something was pictured in his mind, It was his childhood friend, Catherine Corabelle, or preferred to be called C.C, that girl enjoys to tease Lelouch whenever, wherever and whatever, she has lime green locks that cascaded down to her waist, her hone-gold eyes that wore no expression from time to time, her creamy smooth skin that is so touchable, her luscious lips that is so- Wait, what the, why am I even thinking about her? Lelouch sunk in his seat, his face was unreadable. Witch, I hope you had fun time in Britannia. He chuckled. Nunally broke his train of thoughts and he snapped back in reality.

"Sorry in disturbing you brother, Ougi said that the streets were busy, so we need to take the other road, I think we will be there in within 7 minutes ." Nunally reported. I nodded simply in reply. Then again, I look at the road straight and blankly. As we pass from the Corabelle's residence, here in Japan, a flash of green was seen. Lelouch called out Ougi to pause for a while. Lelouch was deep in thought at the process, Was my sense of sight fail? That couldn't be her, she...she is in Britannia helping her parents in their bussiness... Nunally saw her brother's expression, she was starting to get worried

"Onii-sama, whats wrong?"

"C.C..." he muttered, unfortunately, Nunally barely heard it.

"C.C.?" Nunally thought for a moment, then her eyes started to sparkle "Ahh..C.C-san! Where brother where?" She glance at the Corabelle's residence. "It is C.C.-san!" Nunally screamed softly "Go Onii-sama, let us offer her a ride."

"What?" He raised a brow.

"Oh please..." she pouted. Damn it, got no choice Lelouch heaved a sigh.

"Fine."

Lelouch got off from the car and started to walk to her residence. He was trembling inside, he was not prepared yet to face that 'Evil Witch' Damn it, in so many times in the world why the hell now?! When he arrived to the the gate. C.C. saw him with a plastered smirk on her face and gestures him to come in. As Lelouch saw that smirk, he wanted to abandon that damn witch and go straight ahead to school with Nunally, but he can't. Why? Because her sister was watching him from the very start and the look on her face was so determined that her brother can fetch that girl simply and doesn't want any negative reactions from her brother like, changing his mind, abandon the witch or whatsoever. So Lelouch continued, He tried his best to stand straight and maintain his composure as he faced that witch in his childhood...until now.

"Its been a while, C.C." Lelouch held his hand for her to shake it, she declined it as he did expected from her. He just rolled his eyes.

"Ahh...if its isn't the 'boya'. Why are you here, probably he misses the witch from his childhood that turns his life into misery?" C.C smirked

"First part, no I dont really missed that witch, second, definitely yes, that kind of witch is the one who always made my life miserable."

"Thank you, I may take that as a compliment."

"Shut up witch, Why are you here, I thought William ( I made it up as the brother of C.C ) stays here, and your in Britannia."

"Plans changed, be a good boya and bring my bag to your car, the look of Nunally there is like she wanted me to drive with the two of you to school."

He chuckled "Yes," then he thought of something to tease before he might loss at their little game since childhood.

"Hmm..You are like a witch the reads people's minds, no?" Lelouch then smirked.

"...I dont like being a witch that reads people's minds, it does not suit me, think a better one, Lelouch."

"Hmph, why not then?" He barely cares to think that suits the witch, maybe sooner he may come up with an idea, but not now.

"It reminds me of...Mao."

"Oh that Chinese kid in Britannia that reads mind psychologically or something like that?"

"Yes, now bring my bag boya."

Lelouch looked to the said bag, he started to laugh. C.C. looked at him quizzically.

"What?"

"Like hell I'm gonna touch that ridiculous Cheese-kun bag of yours" He laughed loudly Really? A Cheese-kun bag, geez you never change.

Lelouch was suddenly cutoff by an unexpected attack, he almost tumble by that. He hissed in pain.

"Ouch! Why did you do that?" He almost break his nose when the said bag hit is face vigorously. He rubbed his poor nose.

C.C didn't care about his situation, probably not.

"You know better to insult Cheese-kun when I am around."

*honk* *honk* They glance at where the sound came and saw Nunally waving her hands back and forth

"Onii-sama! C.C-san! Come, were now late."

Lelouch was suddenly alert and stood straight as he heard her sister's voice. His mind was rumbling, shit, I dont have time to play games with C.C! Damn how foolish of me. Now were late! Lelouch grabbed C.C's hand and started to run as fast as he could manage. C.C was struggling to get his hands free from him.

"What?!," He pants heavily, poor Lelouch. "Don't you see were late!" He pants again and inhales air to breathe for him to be able to survive this madness, well if in it's Lelouch's case, but for a normal being, I would not call it survive or madness.

"Run as fast as you can Lelouch, I'll catch up."

"Suit yourself." He then again inhales number of air and started to run.

When Lelouch was now mid-way to the car I could make it! I know I can!. Wow slow, right? From the corner of his eyes he saw...C.C walking?

"Have a good run there, Lelouch?" C.C said smirking while walking and in the meantime, Lelouch was running...

Damn it, witch.


Finally they have arrived in Ashford but they were awfully late. The school halls were empty and quiet. Lelouch just ignored the two girls babbling from behind and continued his pace in walking, after what happened ago, he decided to only walk because running is such a killing material for they were now miles away from the room of Nunally, he signals her little sister to go back to her respective room. Nunally bid goodbye to C.C. "It's nice meeting you again C.C-san, I have to go now, Godbye then!" Nunally bid Lelouch too a goodbye and rushed to her room until she was out of sight.

"Nice run there, Lelouch. My grandfather needs a companion for the charity run, you could fit in." C.C teased.

"Shut up" Lelouch was now depressed and doesn't have the mood to talk with this girl or else he might gone wild.

Lelouch spotted the principal from the stairs who was descending down. He immediately called out, then the principal look at him with a mixed of shock and disappointed. Damn, I forgot we were late Lelouch tried his best to maintain his composure in facing the principal.

"Mr. Lamperouge, what do you think you're doing here outside during classes?"

"I am sorry Mr. Ashford, I promise to not do this unnecessary act again."

The principal nodded, as the time he spotted C.C. he started to ask Lelouch who is this dear companion of his.

"Lelouch, who is this young maiden?" He pointed out to C.C and Lelouch already knew who he was talking to so he did not look at where the direction he was pointing out, he was not that dense.

"This is Catherine Corabelle sir, preferred to be called C.C."

"Hmm, A Corabelle you say?"

Lelouch nodded. The principal held out his folder that he was holding from the start that they failed to notice. He was searching over and over. We only waited patiently...

"This takes too long..." C.C. complained but the principal have not heard it for he was too busy in what he was doing.

"Stop complaining, witch, He might heard you.."

C.C. rolled her eyes. Something caught her eyes with interest as she saw the bulletin bored written in a paper.. 'Vice President Lelouch Lamperouge is now known as the 'School's Heartthrob' from the majority of school's female population.' C.C got another handy object to tease Lelouch all thanks to the bulletin board.

"'Schools Heartthrob' huh?"

That caught Lelouch's attention

"Pardon?"

"'School's Heartthrob is pathetic Lelouch."

"Shut up.."

"I prefer you to be called 'School's TurtleRunner'."

"Shut up!" Lelouch hissed, as he grabbed C.C.'s wrist. He pulled her closer, face were inches apart, Lelouch was not aware at their situation, He was absolutely mad that he forgot everything in his surroundings, He was just focused at C.C..She just blinked. His face was annoyed, he furrowed his brows, clenching his teeth, as amethyst meets gold with a spark.

"Ahh, yes Corabelle..." As the principal glance to them, he didn't expect to be greeted by that sight. "Ahem."

Then the two was snapped in reality, they both let go and stood up straight.

"Sorry Mr. Ashford, as you were saying?" Lelouch was the one who asked.

"Miss Corabelle here is our new student correct?" He nodded "She is the same class as you are Mr. Lamperouge," another nod. "And I have a report that your parents said that she is your girlfriend." A nod...wait what?

"What?!...I mean, that is ridiculous Mr. Ashford, my parents must be mistake-"

"Nonsense Lelouch. Let us go to your room and present her."

They headed to their class as the Neutral principal leads, followed by the so-depressed Lelouch and the ever-so-evil C.C.
