Ready to Die

Anyone who is not afraid to die should be proud of themselves. It only means that they know what will become of them and have accepted it.

I could feel my body lying on a hard surface. Odd, I don't remember my bed being this hard. Actually, it's quite the opposite because it was very soft. Doesn't matter really, I haven't slept peacefully for a year now. My dreams are always nightmares full of blood and dead people.

I slowly opened my eyes and blink rapidly as the sunlight glared at my eyes. Wait, sunlight? I opened my eyes again to get used to the light surrounding me. Above, I can see fluffy clouds in the sky. I slowly stood up, checking my surroundings.

Where am I? I don't understand. The last thing I remember is sleeping inside my room. But what is this?

A garden? But I don't recall going outside… But this is my mother's garden. Wait! This garden isn't supposed to even exist anymore! That blasted father of mine destroyed it after we were exiled. So what am I doing here? This only means I'm in a dream. But why?

I hear footsteps approaching me. This must be the entity that sent me here. I turned around and froze. Standing a few meters from me is a girl with huge black wings. She spoke. "Lelouch…"

I grew confused.

'Do I know her?'

Then it dawned on me that I was staring at a very familiar face. A feminine version of my face. She had straight black hair that reached her waist and vibrant violet eyes that were slightly bigger that mine. This wasn't the first time I've seen her, but still... This was impossible!

"Lyana?"

I spoke quietly with a trembling voice, afraid that she would disappear. As if reading my mind, she came closer and hugged me, smiling. "It is alright, Lelouch. I am here…" she said.

I felt something hot on my cheeks. My tears.

Tears of joy.

Joy, for seeing my long deceased twin that had died to save me when I was three. I hugged her tightly.

"I missed you so much…" I whispered, "But how?"

She only chuckled and replied, "I have missed you too, brother. But, as to how, I cannot answer... yet." She stepped back and said,

"I have brought you here to ask you some questions brother."

Again, confusion threatened to cover my face. "You brought me here just to question me?" I said in disbelief.

She rolled her violet eyes at me. "Will you just answer it?" she said haughtily.

It had been too long since we had last enjoyed our small banter.

I sighed. "Fine. What is it?"

She turned away and asked me in a soft voice. "Do you wish to remember?"

Raising an eyebrow, I asked. "Remember what, Lyana?"

She turned and looked me in the eyes. Those eyes that was so sharp that it could pierce through your very soul. It was one of the things that separated us. One look from her eyes and she could make or break you. Those eyes could easily distinguish truth from lies. Unlike mine, who needs to not only watch the eyes but also their body language to know if they were lying.

"Do you wish to remember your past with Kallen? Your other suppressed memories?"

I was surprised, no... I was shocked to hear the name of the person I have secretly fallen in love with that I visibly stiffened and paled.

"Sh-shared memories?"

She nodded. "Yes, for the both of you have shared a memory that had been locked by God to ensure that the Zero Requiem could commence as you had wanted." she explained.

I protested. "But wait! That's not possible! C.C. had already-"

She cut me off. "C.C. doesn't have the power to unlock it. Much less know about it."

I thought about it. It would make sense. Even if I did regain the memories the emperor suppressed, I could still feel something missing. I thought it was nothing but now…

"I see." I looked into her eyes and said quietly, "I want to remember… I want to know."

"Do you want Kallen to remember as well?" she inquired.

"Yes, it is only right. It's her past too." I answered her.

She smiled as she took my hand and said, "So be it, brother..."

Before I could even ask, I was plunged into a very bright world. I could see a glimpse of a smiling Milly... A blushing Kallen... Suzaku and Rivalz in a butler outfit... Me and Kallen, holding hands while talking to Schniezel... The two of us kissing... and dancing... so many images passing by my eyes. But I could understand everything!

I remembered everything perfectly. It was the night that Kallen and I were paired up as a couple. In another blinding light, I was returned to the strange world where my sister waited.

"That happened?" I asked in disbelief. She only nodded her head.

"Then that means... I've been in love with Kallen for such a long time now?" she nodded yet again.

Before I knew it, the question that was bothering me left my mouth. "And Kallen loved me as well?" I blushed madly and turned away so that she couldn't see my face. I heard her chuckled and hugged me from the back. "More that you know, brother."

…

"You may be a genius, but you are ignorant when it comes to love..." she added, a hint of disappointment in her voice.

"If she remembers then..."

"She will only remember if she touches one of us."

"Why?" I asked as I turned to look at her, confused at myself for asking so many questions. Do dreams alter your mind?

"It is because... It's the way it should be..." she said. I looked at her oddly and suddenly, we burst into laughter as she let go. "I can't believe you still like riddles!" I told her. She only laughed.

"But why?" was the question that left my mouth.

"Because Lelouch... Think about it. If she was your lover and she found out about your plans, what would she do?" she asked.

"She'd try to stop me from killing myself." It dawned on me.

"You're right. If that happened, you'd be conflicted by choosing the right decision between her and the world. Even if you did choose the world over her, you would bring guilt with you when you die. Something that will only suppress your soul… and she would hate the world that you gave birth to using your own life." She told me.

As usual, she was right.

"I agree."

Silence reigned.

"Brother?" she said suddenly.

"Yes, sister?"

"Will you do me a favour?" she asked me sweetly, using her puppy eyes that she was so famous for when we were children. Typical Lyana. Always knows how to persuade people. I smiled and asked, "What is it?"

She hesitated for a moment but continued. "Will you say my name when the Zero Requiem is completed?"

I looked at her and started thinking but quickly consented. It's not like it would change anything right? I'd still be dead.

"Of course."

"Thank you!" she said happily as she hugged me. I hugged her back. "I really have missed you, Lelouch." she whispered.

"As do I, Lyana."

"Goodbye, Brother..." she said as she let go of me. "I love you."

"What?" I tried to reach her but I couldn't.

"What do you mean 'goodbye'?" She continued to move away from me.

"I love you..." she said as tears fell from both our faces. I couldn't reach her. I didn't want to let go, but... What choice do I have?

"I love you, too..." I said as the world around me started to spin. I was able to see her mouth move. There was no sound, but I understood what she said.

"I'm sorry brother... But this is for the world that we want them to live in..."

And with that, I woke up on my bed, my body dripping with sweat. My face was covered by bitter tears as I cried soundlessly, with my head buried on the covers. At about 4 o'clock in the morning, my eyes had finally dried. No traces of the weak Lelouch could be seen. I was ready.

Ready to die.

Finished!
