Enjoy!
Lelouch couldn't believe it. None of it seemed real…but it was.
Britannia had taken over Japan almost 10 years ago, and the nation had showed no resistance, only fear. However, when the intrusion was fresh, there was only poverty, prejudice and hunger for the country's people, but that all drastically changed. As the years passed by, things only became more agonizing for the now named Elevens of the new Area 11. It wasn't until that one day, that Lelouch realized it.
Lelouch paused. After placing his pencil down on the desk and shifting in his seat, he propped an elbow on the flat surface and supported his head in his hand. He had only made it to question number five of the quiz and he was already uninterested, not that he previously was. When it came to school, he didn't care much for it; the exact contradictory of his childhood friend, Suzaku Kururugi.
Thinking about him made the former prince's eyes flicker to the left. On the other side of the classroom, Suzaku sat in his seat, clearly focused on his test. It was clear he was trying hard to answer correctly. He'd go from staring absorbedly at the paper, to writing, to erasing, and to staring again. It was a cycle.
The boy stood out from everyone else around him, but that was only because they were Britannian and he was an eleven, also known as Japanese. His skin was a darker shade than theirs, his hair was brown and somewhat curly, but the most noticeable thing was his eyes…at least to Lelouch.
His emerald orbs appeared to hold everything in them. His personality, his strength…the determination he always had. It was all there. And Lelouch found himself lost in them sometimes.
The raven haired boy blinked and turned away after catching his moment of admiration. That was what he told himself it was; admiration. He just admired Suzaku. That's all.
It wasn't until after a few more minutes of Lelouch grimacing at the test and glancing at Suzaku, did a whole team of men who were armed, possibly soldiers of Britannia, barge into the room, giving everyone an excuse to look up from their paper. Suzaku was the last one to do so, and when he noticed the men, a chill ran up his spine. Lelouch wasn't very concerned, but he did feel the atmosphere change significantly.
The obvious leader of the team causally strolled up the teacher, who almost backed up into her desk.
"Are you Mrs. Swan?" He asked with a deep, irritating voice. His face, just like the rest of his men, was covered with a helmet, so their appearances and identities remained secret.
She nodded steadfastly. "Yes…what are you doing? My class is taking a test and-"
"We have specific instructions by the Britannian government to search all school campuses-"
"Carrying around guns and weapons?" Mrs. Swan retorted crudely, narrowing her eyes.
The man scowled. "YES, carrying around guns and weapons-"
"Uh sir?" one of the smallest men of the group interrupted.
"WHAT?"
He pointed.
Right at Suzaku.
Even though the leader's face was covered, as he turned, Lelouch could almost feel the man leering.
"Get him."
Suzaku didn't even have enough time to register what was happening before they were on him. Some of the students that sat close to him gasped and jumped out of their seats as a struggle began.
Mrs. Swan stood there, her eyes wide.
Lelouch's were probably wider as he remained in his spot with a dumbfounded expression. The two men who had rushed forward to grab Suzaku seized the boy from the rear, pinned his arms behind his back and slammed him onto the desk in a restrained position.
"What the hell did I do?!"
"Shut up, eleven," called out the forerunner as he pulled out two pictures from his uniform. He looked from one of the photos to Suzaku, and then repeated it once more. "That's him alright. But we've been informed that we must rid all elevens of Ashford." He turned to Mrs. Swan. "Is there anymore Japanese scum running around here? If so, you're going to have to tell us what class they are in."
The woman was conspicuous now, but it was hard to tell what exactly it was she was frustrated about. She crossed her arms. "Our school is scum free. I don't understand your prejudice feelings, and I'd like for you to ask your little men to stop holding that boy in such a manner!"
Half way through Mrs. Swan's quick speech, the man seemed to lose attentiveness as he looked at the pictures in his hands once more. He scanned the classroom, and Lelouch felt the hidden eyes land on him and stay there. It left the Britannian boy feeling very uncomfortable.
"Excuse me?" Mrs. Swan inquired.
She was ignored and the man walked forward, heading in Lelouch's direction. He had no idea why he'd be wanted by the Britannian government and he silently prayed that the soldier would pass him by. That didn't happen. Right in front of Lelouch's table; he stopped.
"Lelouch…Vi Britannia?"
At the mention of the name, students and even the teacher suddenly seemed to be observing him in a different way than before. To begin with, he was nothing more than another student who attended Ashford, but now, they saw him as pure royalty and carried an expression of awe.
In the corner of his eye, Lelouch caught Suzaku who had managed to turn a little in his friend's direction. He was scarcely shaking his head slowly.
Lelouch peered at the soldier. "Actually, it's Lamperouge. People say I have a similar appearance to the prince, but I'm not him…"
"You are…now get up. We'll be leaving-"
Mrs. Swan intervened once again. "You can't just march in here and take two of my students! It may be under the government's instructions, but I believe that I at least deserve a good explanation for this."
The man turned to the teacher, his movements full of assertiveness. "Elevens no longer have a right to education. All schools are to be wiped clean of any scum. It's government's decision. Nothing you say or do can change that. And him," a gloved index finger pointed at Lelouch. "He knows who he is. Under the request of the royal family of Britannia, he is to be brought back from Ashford. Your services are no longer needed."
The rest of the words spoken went in one ear and out the other. Lelouch couldn't help but notice the defeated look on Suzaku's face. He wasn't usually like that. Did he know something that Lelouch didn't?
The former prince stood up, slamming his hands on the table, startling close by students and causing all attention to go to him. "I'm staying here! And so is Suzaku. I…I am Lelouch Vi Britannia and I have command over you! You're meant to serve those above you."
The soldier glanced at his men and then back at Lelouch, and before he knew it, the whole team was bursting with laughter; even the two who kept Suzaku at bay were cracking up.
What was so amusing?
Everyone in the classroom, even Mrs. Swan seemed baffled.
After the fit of cackles ceased, the soldier looked at Lelouch. "Orders came from someone above you; therefore, your say in it is as useless as mine, or a better example would be as useless as your friend over there." He lunged forward and took a firm grasp of Lelouch's arm.
"HEY!"
"Don't hurt him!" Mrs. Swan shrieked.
The man yanked Lelouch, pulling him away from the table and starting towards the door. "I'm not going to hurt this princess, don't you worry." The struggling that the raven haired boy attempted didn't seem to be doing much. His ratio to this man was probably a giant and a little girl.
The little girl being him, of course.
Without even needing to be told, the rest of the team followed, dragging Suzaku along with them.
Mrs. Swan and the other students watched in silence, not realizing the things that were now set in stone for the two abducted boys.
DUN DUN DUN. Mrs. Swan doesn't know and neither do you ;) I hope you want to find out! :D
Now I know the title is a little bit weird, especially for a drama/suspense fanfiction, but later into the chapters, you'll understand where the name came from: 3 if you choose to follow that is. Reviews are appreciated!
