Chapter Two

Library

Lelouch was sitting at the farthest table possible. When he heard a crash, he looked up to see Suzaku was covered in books from the shelf he just destroyed. The Librarian hearing the commotion came marching over.

"YOU!"

Suzaku flinched. "Uh I'm really sorry it just one of the shelves came loose and then all the books came crashing down. I'll clean it up right now."

"You stupid eleven!" She was about to strike him, but a slim pale hand grabbed her own.

"Ms. Loveitt, your hands are so soft. I never realized."

She blushed at the comment. "Lelouch um well I do use the latest lotion."

"Lovely, but Ms. Loveitt, with such lovely hands you shouldn't dirty them. Anyways I was the one who loosened the bolts and made it collapse in the first place." She narrowed her eyes at him, then adjusted her eyewear.

"Very well then accept my apologies Suzaku, you may leave. But Lelouch Lamperouge you will take his place."

Lelouch smiled. "I guess that would befitting."

After she walked away. Lelouch looked at Suzaku, and said one simple word. "Idiot."

Suzaku smiled. "Why do you say that?" He picked up the shelf and fixed it.

"As payment for saving you will take me to my chess match."

"Eh? Chess match?"

"Yes, Rivalz can't and I would prefer not to involve my brother Rolo." Suzaku froze.

"You have a brother?"

"Yes his name is Rolo Lamp-" Beep, beep, beep. They both looked down at Lelouch's hand. He moved his sleeve up to reveal a watch, he clicked and button to stop the beeping.

"Excuse me, Suzaku meet me at the front gate." With that Lelouch left looking slightly pale.

He stood there before realizing there was no point in Lelouch helping him. Since he is the one cleaning up, he shook his head before continuing his clean up.

Front Gate

Suzaku ran towards the fate gate reaching it in a few minutes. Standing there was Lelouch with a regular sized book.

"Hey! Lelouch, sorry am late."

"It's fine. Let's go." He tossed him the keys to the bike. Suzaku fumbled with them before getting a grip on them.

"Just drive and I'll you directions."

They left the school and it wasn't until they reached a traffic jam did they talked.

"Suzaku." With his eyes still on the book, he spoke again. "Do I know you from somewhere?"

Green eyes widened, but Suzaku calmed himself. "No."

"I don't know." Lelouch closed his book feeling frustrated. "I feel like we know each other but I can't remember if it's so or not."

"Well since I am a Knight of Round you probably saw me on T.V. or something like that."

It was quiet again. Lelouch was thinking it over.

'Suzaku is right. But still there is just something about him, that just draws me to him.' His thoughts were interruped by someone yelling. He looked up to see a young Britannian noble man yelling at an old japanese man.

Suzaku's gripped tightened, still looking at the scene. "Hey Lelouch-" He turned to look only to see Lelouch was gone. He looked throught the crowd only to see him, hooking a chain to the Nobleman's car. He walked away and withing a few the driver drove off taking the car with him.

'Lelouch even though his memories are erased he is still rebelling against the Britannians. Has he really forgotten?"

"AAAHHH! MY CAR!" The nobleman ran off after the truck.

"Lelouch-" He watched as Lelouch walked back.

"Drive." Feeling that Lelouch didn't want to talk he drove off.

Hotel

They parked the bike, as they made their way to the elevator shaft.

"Um Lelouch earlier, why did you do that?"

Lelouch didn't answer right away instead only answered when they in the elevator. "Why do I need a reason to help someone who was being treated so unfarily."

"How do you know the Britannian was at fault."

"Rear-ended. The Britannian's car was damaged in the front while the old man's was damaged in the back. Therefore it was the Britannian nobleman who rear-ended the old man."

"I see." Suzaku looked down. 'I was going to blame the old man due to his age. But Lelouch looked at the situtation then acted. How shameful.'

When the elevator stopped he was brought back to reality. Suzaku eyes widened at what he saw. Several high class britannians were there, gambling.

"Uh Lelouch this place-"

"Ah! I'm sorry sir." A waitress ran into Lelouch. "Your suit it's soaked."

Lelouch kneeled down to help, when he did a burst of whispers sprend through the room. Making Suzaku uncomfortable while Lelouch nonchalantly ignored them. When the waitress stood he saw her face only to recongnize it.

"Kallen?" She instantly looked up, she backed away only to be grabbed by a fat nobleman. "Kallen!" He surged forward only to be stopped.

"Excuse me sir." The man looked at him.

"Yes."

"Would be very much obliged to let her go."

"Tch! High school boys shouldn't be here, go do you homework."

"Well how this." He opened his case to reveal a chess board.

"Hahaha chess! I never lose." He grinned evilly.

Time Skip

"Hah...hah I-I lost?"

"Yes dear sir you lost now may I have the girl?"

"Tch I never lose. Young boy you cheated!"

"Wah-! There is no possible way for me to cheat!" Lelouch exclaimed.

As couple of guys went for Lelouch there was a big explosion. Smoke flew everywhere, people began to panic.

"LELOUCH!" Suzaku made his way to where Lelouch was only to see Kallen and him running away. He ran towards them grabbing Lelouch's hand. "Let go of him, you terrorist!"

"AH!" He kicked her down while she was down he began to run off.

"Suzaku didn't you know her!"

"No!" He said harshly. They were running anywhere but Suzaku soon realized he didn't where he took them. They stopped Suzaku looked back Lelouch, looking lost.

"You got us lost?"

"Well I was just running and wasn't paying to much attention as to where I was going."

"Idoit." After he said there was another loud expolsion. There standing next to them was a knightmare.

"Ah the army." But Suzaku soon wanted to take that back, when it raised its gun.

"Suzaku!" Lelouch yelled but then another Knightmare came crashing into the other making it expolde. The shockwave of the expolsion sent Lelouch skidding towrards the egde.

Suzaku caught sight of this."LELOUCH!!!!" Just as Lelouch went over, Suzaku reached for his hand, he grabbed it firmly. But then several explosions went off, loosing his grip on Lelouch.

"No." Suzaku breathed when he felt his hand was holding air. "LELOUCH NOOOOO!"

Until Next Time
