"So how did your meeting with Nunnally go?" C.C. asked as Lelouch walked through the door.
"Good enough. I can assure you I don't regret it," Lelouch replied.
"Really? You didn't upset her?"
"No, she said she was just glad to know I was alive."
"What about Kallen and Suzaku? Do you ever plan to reveal yourself to them?"
"No, I don't know whether Kallen would actually be glad to know I was alive or not, after all, when we last met we were enemies," he answered.
"Why not Suzaku?"
"After my last visit? He would probably hate me for upsetting him so much all for a joke," he said with a laugh.
"True." They were silent for a while. "Lelouch, do you ever regret what you did? Do you ever wish the world knew the truth about you? It must hurt, having heard all those people cheer over your 'death' when you 'died' to bring them peace," C.C. asked.
"I really don't care what other people think about me, not to mention them hating me was part of my plan. I would have thought you knew that," Lelouch said.
"What about when Nunnally said she thought you were despicable?" she questioned.
"That was... different. I didn't care what the other people thought but to hear it come from my own sister... But that wasn't as painful as hearing her crying when she realized my plans as I 'died'," he said.
"I see."
"Why do you keep asking me these things?"
"I'm just curious," she replied.
"Well please stop. These things are over and done with and I would prefer for you to stop reopening old wounds," he said.
"I'm sorry, I'll stop," she apologized.
"After all this dreary talk I need some amusement. Care to join?" he asked with a grin.
"Sure, what's your plan?"
Sometime Later
Suzaku slowly walked to his room. He was dead tired after another day as Zero. I never knew how tiring this was. You must have had more endurance than I thought, Lelouch he thought. He opened the door. "Uhg!" he yelled as he was mobbed by a room full of cats. "Where did all these cats come from?" He shouted as he ran for his life. He realized that the cat leading the attack was Arthur. Many people saw an amusing and strange sight as Zero ran in terror from a mob of cats. "Heeeelp meeee!" he yelled as the cats bit and scratched every part of him they could reach. Several people ran to his rescue and pulled the cats off.
"Are you alright, Zero?" one of them asked while trying to hold back laughter.
"No! Who put those cats in my room?" he exclaimed. Meanwhile, Lelouch was laughing his butt off while C.C. simply snickered a bit.
Back at Lelouch's House
"We should do pranks like this more often. Even I'm finding them amusing," C.C. said.
"Sounds good to me. Maybe we should target someone besides Suzaku this time," Lelouch said.
"Like who?"
"Hmmm, I think I might know..." he said with an evil gleam in his eyes.
At Ashford Academy
I miss gambling with Lelouch. We use to make so much money and get the joy of embarrassing some stuck up nobles Rivalz thought mournfully.
"Hello," someone said. Rivalz turned to see a strange green haired woman.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"My name is Carol, I once gambled with your friend Lelouch," C.C. said.
"Really? Then why are you here? As you know, a rematch is in impossible," Rivalz asked.
"I wanted to play you in chess. I'll pay good money if you win," she said.
"Well, okay," Rivalz said.
"Meet me tomorrow right before class," she said.
This one will be for you, Lelouch Rivalz thought as he watched her leave.
Later That Night
Rivalz was sleeping peacefully when he heard a voice. "Rivalz, wake up," it said.
"Huh? What's going on?" He mumbled as he woke up. He looked up to see Lelouch.
"Lelouch! How are you here?" Rivalz exclaimed.
"I've come to warn you, I only have a little time," Lelouch said.
"Are you a ghost?" Rivalz asked.
"Yes, but I can only appear in your dreams," Lelouch said.
"You mean I'm still asleep?"
"Yes, and that's why I don't have much time, you will awake soon."
"Well what are you wanting to warn me about?" Rivalz asked.
"That girl, Carol, she did play against me before, and she won," Lelouch said.
"No way!" Rivalz gasped.
"Yes, and when she beat me she took from me something very important. She took my-" Lelouch started to say.
"No! You mean she took your virgini-"
"No! That's not what I meant! She took my soul!" Lelouch exclaimed.
"What!?" Rivalz shouted in horror.
"Yes, that's why I did all those horrible things as emperor. I had no choice, she forced me to. I couldn't fight back because she controlled my soul."
"That's terrible! I guess I'd better back out tomorrow then."
"You can't. Once you've agreed to a match you can never turn back. So instead, you'll have to win. She can see my ghost out of dreams so I'll try to distract her so that you can win. Good luck," Lelouch said, then he disappeared.
This is terrible! I hope I can manage. But I am happy to know Lelouch wasn't actually evil Rivalz thought.
The Next Day
"Are you ready to begin?" C.C. asked.
"Yes," Rivalz replied. The match began. At first Rivalz couldn't see anything happening to her but then he noticed some signs. At first she would just get an annoyed appearance from time to time. Then she started looking angry. Her facial expressions got worse and worse until...
"Ugh! I can't believe you did that!" she shrieked.
"Huh? I'm not sure I want to know..." Rivalz muttered. She screamed in disgust and covered her eyes.
"That's it! I give up!" she yelled.
"Yes! Thanks, Lelouch," Rivalz said cheerfully. "So, do I get your soul?" he asked.
"No, instead you get to see this!" she yelled. Then she flashed him. Blood sprayed out of his nose and he collapsed and started twitching. She ran off laughing evilly.
"I'll never gamble again!" he exclaimed.
Back at Lelouch's House
"Was it really necessary for me to flash him?" C.C. asked.
"You don't really seem to care if people see you naked, after all, you did sleep in my room naked all the time at Ashford Academy," Lelouch said.
"Yeah, but I did cover up," she complained.
"Anyway, those looks on Rivalz face were priceless!" he exclaimed while laughing evilly.
"I felt like a fool, talking to myself like that," she said irritably.
"Why? You talked to yourself all the time," he said.
"No, I was telepathically talking to people, it's different," she said.
"Whatever. Anyway, now I've cured Rivalz of gambling. I was afraid he would keep doing that even though he's not nearly as skilled as me. He might have gotten into trouble so I had to help him," Lelouch said with a smirk.
"Somehow I doubt that was your real reasoning..." C.C. muttered.
