The Bet

Kouzuki Kallen, 22 years old wakes up to the sound of the alarm on her cell phone. She groggily sat up and switched it off before going to the bathroom to wash up and take a shower. After she was done, she went back to her room to change. Putting on her Black Knights uniform, she press down any wrinkles on the black fabric and headed downstairs. Her mother was already awake and cooking breakfast.

"Morning, Kallen" her mother greeted her.

"Kaa-san, haven't I said you don't need to cook breakfast for me everyday. I bought this house and moved us here so you can live peacefully." Kallen said pouring herself a cup of coffee.

"I'm your mother, it's my job to take care of you." Her mother said smiling.

"But I'm already 22." Kallen said chuckling a bit.

"You'll always be my little girl." Her mother said, "And besides, I need something to do or I'll be bored out of my mind."

Kallen smiled, choosing not argue back. Her mother had recovered fully from the effects of Refrain only 2 years ago and before that she couldn't really be a mother to Kallen. This was probably her way of making it up to Kallen for all those missed years.

She looked around the house. She bought this house when she was 20, when her mom was fully recovered since her income with the Black Knights was pretty high. It was pretty small but it reminded her of her home before her brother Naoto died the home where she was happy. It only had two rooms, one upstairs one downstairs and one bathroom. The living room, dining room, and kitchen were all connected.

She sat down at the dining table and flipped on the TV. The morning news was on. A report was just ending about the weather and it was now on to scientific news. A screen of a space station over Jupiter was on and they were talking about the planned exploration into Jupiter's gassy interior.

Ever since Lelouch sacrificed himself five years to create peace, technological advancement shot through the roof. Rather then wasting their resources and energy on war, the world moved towards advancement. That's right, within five years after Lelouch's rebellion humans had colonized the rest of the solar system the technology was there but it was all expended war before. Though they haven't discovered the secret to speed of light yet, they could still travel from Earth to Pluto in just days, depending on its position.

Just as she finished her breakfast, the doorbell rang and she got up to go answer it. When she opened the door, she saw it was Villetta and her son, Naoto. Named after Kallen's brother, Naoto had inherited his mother's silver blue hair and golden eyes but inherited his father's face and mousy hairstyle. What an odd combination.

"Morning Kallen, sorry to disturb you so early," Villetta said.

"Oh no, no problem, come on in," Kallen said stepping to the side.

"Auntie Kallen!" Naoto said after he saw her.

"Just Kallen is fine," Kallen said; auntie makes her sound old. "So what's up Villetta?"

"I'm going to have to trouble your mother again to take care of Naoto today. I have to go to the hospital for a check up along with other errands and Ougi already went to work." Villetta said.

"Oh it's no trouble; Naoto is such a good kid." Kallen's mom said coming to greet her.

"Thank you," Villetta said.

"Don't worry Villetta; I'll give Ougi a nice scolding when I see him today." Kallen assured gesturing towards her bulging stomach. "You just make sure number two is fine."

"Thanks Kallen, take care." Villetta laughed and left.

Kallen led Naoto to dining table and her mom gave him some food. After making sure everything was okay with Naoto and her mom, she grabbed the black cap from the coat rack by the door and put on her black boots. She waved to her mother and Naoto and went into the garage to get her motorcycle.

Brandon Han, 22 years old is from the former Chinese Federation. The reason he has a English name instead of a Chinese name is because he moved to Britannia when he was a child and changed his name. He moved to Japan a few years before the Black Rebellion and joined the Black knights when they were formed.

He stepped into the hanger where his Akatsuki Jikisanshiyou was stored in the Japan Black Knights Headquarters for his routine morning check. The rest of his squad hasn't arrived yet but their Akatsuki Frames were lined up to the right of his. He reluctantly became a squad commander near the end of the war, despite being only 17 years old but he did not become as well known as the other squad commanders like Kouzuki Kallen. He hated responsibility. He yawned as he waved to a few mechanics working on repairing an Air Glide Wing System someone busted during training.

He stared at his Knightmare frame, a 7th generation knightmare that can hold it's own in battle, except against the few 9th generation nightmares. He painted it black instead of keeping the default dark blue so it feels somewhat like a custom Knightmare Frame. Ever since the end of the war five years ago, Knightmare frame research had slowed down drastically because there really was no need for them anymore. There weren't any plans to produce 10th generation frames either as most Knightmare researchers decided to focus their attention on space ships and space travel. The few 9th generation Knightmares were only piloted by the elites. In fact there are only three 9th generation Knightmares, the Guren S.E.I.T.E.N. and Tristan Divider and the Lancelot Albion which was salvaged and repaired after the war for Zero's use. It was funny how Zero would use the Knightmare frame of former Knight of Zero, Kururugi Suzaku.

He climbed into the cockpit and plugged his devicer in and the computers and other systems flashed on. He did his usual system check before shutting it off and pulling the devicer out. The rest of his squad still hasn't come in yet, he was way too lax with them. He had a squad commander meeting that morning so he left the cockpit. But just as he opened the door, his squad appeared.

"Where have you guys been?" Brandon asked with his arms crossed.

"Breakfast," Tatsuya said, "we would've been here sooner but Zhang here wouldn't leave until he got the waitress's number."

Tatsuya was a short but his broad shoulders made up for his height. His black hair seems to naturally look like it's been combed to right and his childish smile ruins the whole tough guy look.

"Well I got date tonight," Zhang said, leaning on Tatsuya, "when was the last time you went on a date?"

Zhang was also from the former Chinese Federation but he joined the Black Knights under Xingke. His long bangs which should've covered his left eye, sticks out naturally instead looking like deform visor.

"Shut up," Tatsuya retorted lamely.

"What's the hurry captain; we don't have anything on our schedule today." Julian said.

Julian was from Britannia but he joined after the war.

"You guys are constantly late; you're giving the squad a bad reputation.

"Hey, at least we're here before the girls," Tatsuya retorted.

"We're a relatively unknown squad within the Order anyways, doesn't matter." Julian shrugged.

"Where are the girls anyways…?" Zhang said looking around.

"Forget them, they're annoying," Tatsuya said.

As Brandon headed off to the meeting, his fellow male squad members decided to accompany him. They stepped out into the courtyard of the base when they saw a red head walk towards them. It was Kouzuki Kallen. They saluted and she waved at them politely before walking past them towards the building. Brandon looked back and stared until she disappeared behind the closing door.

"That Kouzuki Kallen sure is a babe," Zhang said.

"Is that anyway to talk about a superior officer, Zhang?" Brandon asked turning back around.

"Just saying; and besides captain, you think so too right," Zhang teased.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Brandon denied and continued walking.

"Oh please, you think we don't notice you staring at her when she walks pass?" Zhang said, "It's especially obvious when you get stricter with us around her too."

"As your squad commander I have to keep you guys disciplined." Brandon said not looking at them.

"She won't pay attention to a lowly unknown squad commander, I mean look at her rank." Julian said almost mockingly.

"Oh are you saying I won't be able to get her?" Brandon looked back, an eye twitching.

"Well looking at your track record with the ladies…" Zhang said pretending to be calculating something, "No."

"I wasn't serious about hose girls before," Brandon said.

"Sure you weren't…" Zhang said, "Don't pull that gentleman crap with us."

"Isn't there a rumor that there's something going on between her and Gin Weinberg, one of Empress Nunnaly's knights?" Alex said.

Alex or Alexander is like Julian, joining the Black Knights after the war. He's an incredibly quiet person; he usually doesn't talk unless talked to feel like sharing random facts, like now.

"That's just a rumor," Tatsuya waved, "it started years before you even joined all because Gino saved her from falling to her death."

"Well she hasn't denied it either right?" Alex said, "I'm sure she does other things besides business while visiting Britannia and the Empress."

"Captain, you were there during that battle right? What happened?" Julian asked.

"Nothing really, Kallen had just defeated the Lancelot Albion and apparently lost consciousness so the Guren fell. But Gino, in his Tristan caught the Guren just in time." Brandon explained.

"So captain, we know like Kouzuki; what're going to do?" Tatsuya said.

:"Nothing," Brandon replied.

"Pussy…" Zhang said.

Brandon stopped and glared at him, "I'm your superior office, are you sure about that?"

"With all due respect," Zhang said, "yes."

"Oi Zhang, that's going too far." Julian said.

"Alright, let's make a bet. If I can get a date with Kouzuki Kallen then you will have to scrub and shine the entire squad's Knightmare frames including mine." Brandon said.

"Deal, but it has to be a serious date meaning no casual coffee or lunch date." Zhang said. "And if you lose, you have to do the scrubbing and shining."

"Alright deal." Brandon said holding out his hand.

"Good luck captain," Zhang smirked.

Brandon dismissed them and headed off towards the conference room alone. Zhang had good intentions but he's just so annoying sometimes. He isn't mad at Zhang but annoyed.

Kallen had just reached her office when she sneezed really loud. "Excuse me," she muttered. She looked out the window of her office…

'Who's talking about me?' she thought.

A/N: I love Kallen! Seriously she's my favorite character. Not only because she's hot but she's just badass. So the first chapter, I intend to have a lot more people in the squad then the four mentioned above because well, the Black Knights is a huge organization right? I just can't think of names for them yet. And as I mentioned of course there are girls in the squad, I'm not sexist. They'll be minor characters though so I probably won't introduce the entire squad.

My OC does have a Chinese name but I won't reveal it yet because it'll shock a lot of you. And besides, it's just like "Saving Private Ryan" where Tom Hanks keeps his occupation secret from his men until near the end. This is just like that.
