Chapter 2: Black Sentry
"You can relax Kallen, it's me, Zero."
Kallen relaxed her grip, and lowered the weapon.
"You should know better than to sneak up on people like that," said Kallen angrily, as she gripped her wrist, retracting the mini-pistol.
"My apologies, Lady Kallen," said Suzaku before looking over to Nunnally, "I'm sorry I didn't get you this morning my lady, I was…lost in thought."
"Oh really; about what?" asked Nunnally.
"Today, and its significance," answered Suzaku.
"It's quite fine Zero. It's a sad day for all of us," said Nunnally.
Zero was quiet for a while. Kallen and Nunnally could both tell what Suzaku was thinking.
"It is…This is the day that it all ended. The day I killed your brother," said Suzaku, "Forgive-"
"Stop beating yourself up already. It's absolutely pathetic," interrupted Kallen.
"But…"
"Shut it! You did what he wanted right?" asked Kallen.
"Yes, but…"
"Then stop it, ok. Need I remind you that you also have to protect Nunnally," said Kallen.
"Kallen…" began Suzaku.
"She is right, Zero, you did what you had to do. What he wanted you to do. It's important that you accept it, as we all have," said Nunnally.
"…Forgive-oof" began Suzaku, but Kallen punched him square in the gut, causing him to fall onto a knee.
"I said stop it! Can you hear in that mask?!" shouted Kallen.
"I'm so-" This time, a kick.
"Stop apologizing!"
"Um, Kallen, don't kill him," said Nunnally getting worried.
"He'll live," said Kallen as she walked away.
Suzaku coughed, and looked up.
"So-"
Kallen whipped around and gave Suzaku a death glare.
"I mean, yes ma'am," said Suzaku.
"Hmph, let's go, we're wasting time as it is," said Kallen.
"Good point," said Zero.
He followed behind Kallen and Nunnally to the back of the palace.
To Kallen, Suzaku hadn't changed much. He was still a masochist in that he would punish himself for even the simplest of mistakes. It irritated her to no end, and it made Nunnally worry about him constantly. He would say he's fine, but to Kallen, she thought it was a load of crap.
When they reached the back door, Suzaku opened it for the two ladies, and they exited together.
They went into the gardens and walked for some time, until they saw a single slab of black marble.
"Hello again, onii-sama," said Nunnally.
Ok, shorter than the first chapter, but as I've said before, I want to ease back into fanfiction. There is that, and the fact that Suzaku is only in the story for show. He has no real role in it.
Thank you for reading, and please review.
