REVIEWS:
LeAwesome: I don't have a cow, but I have a chicken. It's getting deliciously fat, so if you may... *hands you the chicken to kill* I want to eat it. :P Oh, and yes. You should definitely fix your summary. Unless, of course, if this is a Humor story, which by the way it is going, doesn't seem like it. Also, who cares about Editing and Beta and stuffs, your English is good enough and that's all that matters. Editing and Beta will just make the updates come later. :)
Reply: yay! My English is good…enough!
Crazy Anko: I like at the first part about their life but then you got me. I'm shocked with the twist in your story. But why you make Milly as a bad person here? I think she will be a number one suzalulu shippers. All of it I like your story. And Fast update. ()b You totally got me there. I never find a story about suzalulu like your story, and I like because you make a twist that make me surprised. But why you make Milly become a bad person here? I thought you would make her a number one of suzalulu shipper, it would be hilarious. I'm Suzalulu shipper and I like your story. Please keep writing and update ASAP.
Reply: THERE'S A TWIST IN MY STORY!? WHERE!? No really, where's the twist? And Milly? A bad person? No! Okay, just so you understand, Milly isn't bad…she just misunderstood the situation and acted accordingly. I tried updating fast! I just! Tried to finish my other story! Yeah that's it!
SailorKickAss: *throws you a bone* Take it! DX This is the BEST thing. Ever. I almost cried. I laughed my ass off. I raged. And you even forced me into my, as I call it, "depression position" where I either place my head face down on the desk (this is at school) or at home, when I lay down on my bed, stare at the ceiling and contemplate the meaning of life and why there is a such thing as cheese; but in this case I thanked baby Jesus for Cecile because she helped Suzaku and wished a thousand AND TWO needles upon Milly's head. I like her and you made me not like her! You have talent, my fellow SuzaLulu fan friend. I will be here to watch your "baby" grow into a very attractive man. Or woman. Either way, they will be followed and stalked. And UNLESS you wanted to be charged with first degree "SEPARATION OF SUZAKU AND LELOUCH" I suggest you update quickly. Or you will be hounded by my team of SuzaLulu Fangirls (I wish I actually had one of those) and when we don't get our updated SuzaLulu stories, we GET DOWN AND DIRTY. DOWN AND DIRTY I TELL YOU. My turn to threaten you ;) Better be quick!Please update soon! Your baby is currently in my watch list.
Reply: okay, your review made laugh…very hard…*family glare at me in the middle of the night*…very very hard…and cheese? Why does everyone hate Milly now!? Yay I have talent! There is such a thing as first degree "SEPERATION OF SUZAKU AND LELOUCH?" Puh-lease! I'm the queen of threats! And don't you forget it!
WARNING: same as last time but here's something new: A certain surprise student! (And no, it ain't Suzaku…yet!) I myself was shocked at my thought process! The surprise student (you'll know who he is when I bring him up) is eighteen years old and is a member of the student council, kay? Kay. Oh and the title continues. You'll find the last part at the end of the chapter in bold with "…" markings before it.
Disclaimer: I own nada but the plot.
Lost, Found…
L.L. and C.C. threw their hate letters that they had gathered throughout the day into a nearby trash can.
As L.L. and C.C. walked down the empty hall way, they let their true feelings show. L.L. let loose a snarl as he slammed a fist into the wall.
"Why the hell won't they leave us alone!?" C.C. only let a frown known on her face before she put her hand on L.L.'s shoulder.
"Don't worry, one more year and you can inherit the title and everything along with it! Then we can get away from everyone!" L.L. seemed to become even more depressed at that.
"What's the point anymore?" L.L. replied with a broken voice. L.L. and C.C. had stopped searching for Suzaku almost an entire year ago. They literally searched every orphanage in and around the entire Tokyo Settlement twice; and there had been no sign of Suzaku.
C.C. seemed to be at a lost; not knowing what to say. C.C. herself felt the bite of pain whenever she thought about the boy she once called dad. After a few moments of silence, C.C. perked up when she remembered what day it was.
"Hey, L.L., don't you remember what day it is today?" L.L. looked over to C.C. with a confused face. C.C. scoffed and rolled her eyes. "It's the middle of the month!" L.L.'s eyes lit up right when they heard a voice call out to them.
"Hello L.L., C.C. How are you both doing this fine after noon?" L.L. and C.C. towards the familiar voice of a well-known blonde classmate with eyes that are a pale purple; not completely unlike L.L.'s. L.L. himself replied to the closest thing that C.C. and he had to a friend in their hell-hole known as Ashford Academy.
"Schneizel."
Schneizel Raffiniert * was the second Vice President of the Student Council and the President of the Equestrian and Chess Club. He was also the one who showed L.L. how to ride a horse and play chess. And the only one who knew that C.C. and L.L. go to the Shinjuku Ghetto at least once a month every month to give the Elevens there food. L.L. and C.C. approached their blonde…acquaintance…that was leaning against a wall.
C.C. was the one to answer Schneizel's question. "We're doing perfectly fine, thank you very much." Schneizel raised an eyebrow.
"That isn't what it looks like from where I stand." C.C. quickly moved to stand shoulder-to-shoulder to Schneizel and made a show of looking around.
"Huh! I don't know what you see, but to me, there's nothing different from this position!" Schneizel chuckled while L.L. rolled his eyes.
"Knock it off C.C." C.C. stuck her tongue out at L.L. when he turned to look at Schneizel. "So what did you need? I'm pretty sure you didn't come here searching for our company." Schneizel smiled before he answered L.L.
"Actually, I was trying to find you, L.L." L.L. blushed a bit while C.C. glared at Schneizel when L.L. turned his back to them. Schneizel chuckled again before he corrected himself. "Well, the both of you anyways."
L.L., who had composed himself, turned back to the blonde student and asked him why.
"Well Milly wanted me to ask you if you were going to attend the Student Council meeting or if you were going to ditch like you usually do." L.L. laughed out right before he answered for himself and C.C.
"We're ditching. We have some errands to run anyways." L.L. turned and walked down the hallway, towards the Student Council Building. Right before C.C. turned to follow him, she pointed to her eyes then Schneizel; making the "I'm watching you" sign.
Schneizel merely chuckled and said "See you later C.C. You and L.L." C.C. merely thought a single thought.
Who exactly are you Schneizel?
…
It was getting dark, by the time L.L. and C.C. finished doing their homework, eating their dinner and taking showers. The sun had fully gone down when they started changing in each other's presence. As C.C. put on her black top she started asking L.L. questions.
"L.L., what are we going to buy from the docks today?" L.L. sighed as he put on his black pants.
"Whatever they are willing to give us and what we can fit into the trailer." C.C. tied her green hair back as L.L. put on his favorite black turtle neck.
"Well, where are we going to start the handouts?" L.L. was about to slip on his sweater but stopped at her idiotic question.
"Are you trying to get me annoyed?" C.C. gave a wide grin before answering with a "no." L.L. pinched his nose before he answered.
"Where we usually start, C.C." As L.L. pocketed his I.D. C.C. asked a question that should have never been asked.
"Do you like Schneizel?" L.L. stopped dead in his tracks and remained frozen like that for a good three minutes. C.C. started to get worried as the silence stretched on. "L.L.?"
"…where…the HELL did THAT come from?" L.L. slowly turned around with his eyes wide and filled with barely manageable rage. C.C. felt chills run up and down her spine as L.L. gave her the full force of his glare.
"I…I—I—I was just c-curious…I mean…well…the way…well the way you treat…him…" C.C. then looked closely in L.L.'s eyes and saw something that she should have noticed right away. Pain. And a lot of it. The pain of losing Suzaku. The pain of having that wound wide open and being reminded of its existence every single day for seven years. C.C. looked down in shame; she felt the need to protect him even though he was like a mother to her. C.C. felt that she took care of L.L. as much as L.L. had taken care of her.
"I'm sorry…L.L. That was...mean of me to say." L.L.'s eyes softened.
"I know and I'm sorry for getting so angry." C.C. suddenly grabbed L.L. and pulled him into a bear-hug. C.C. then proceeded to cry into L.L.'s shoulder.
"I—I miss hi—him!" C.C. cried and hoped that L.L. would cry with her. He didn't; L.L. merely comforted her like he usually did. C.C. then felt a lump between them and looked down. A little bump rose from the inside of L.L.'s black turtle neck which C.C. quickly pulled out. When she opened up her fist she saw the cheap locket necklace that Suzaku had given L.L. the day he left. It made her cry that much harder when she opened it up and saw the picture of Suzaku.
…
When they finally pulled apart, drove the trailer to the docks, picked up the food, and made their way to Shinjuku Ghetto, it was already 11:00 PM. L.L. and C.C. listened to the radio as they entered Shinjuku Ghetto. L.L. drove the trailer to the already waiting line of Elevens in their usual spot. The Elevens waited patiently for their favorite Britannians to set up their table and bring out the food.
When they finally did start giving out the fresh produce, L.L. and C.C. saw many familiar faces and some new ones. Near the end of the handouts, a rather loud mouth with brown hair pushed his way to the front of the line when C.C. called "NEXT!"
"Hey, girly, can you give me some of the meaty food? Thanks!" C.C. stared at him with a blank face.
"Excuse me, sir, but you weren't next. Mrs. Amai was next. You'll have to wait." The brown eyed rude man laughed and said, "Oh she can wait! Now hurry up and give me my meat!" C.C.'s gaze hardened before she replied.
"I'm sorry, sir but I refuse to give you anything." The rude man got mad and started to yell at C.C., drawing some of the other Elevens closer to the stand.
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU SAY, BRITANNIAN BITCH!? YOU SAYIN YOU'RE NOT GONNA GIVE ME ANYTHING!?" The idiot then decided to grab C.C.'s arm. Bad move. C.C. twisted around and threw the mouthy Eleven over her back and through the air. L.L. who had been talking to Ohgi ran towards C.C.
"C.C.! What happened?" L.L. checked C.C. over while she tried to tell him that she was fine.
"I'm fine! I just threw that mouthy bastard over there." L.L. looked over to the "Mouthy Bastard" and saw Ohgi helping him up.
"Ohgi!" Ohgi turned towards L.L.
"Yes, L.L.?" L.L. stormed towards the two Elevens; his glare in place.
"Do you know that man?" L.L. pointed towards the bastard. Ohgi looked apologetic.
"Sadly, yes. His name is Tamaki. He's a friend of mine. Why?" L.L. looked furious and pointed towards C.C. who was picking up the packaged food with the help of some of the other Elevens.
"He rudely cut to the front of the line, yelled at C.C., and DARED to TOUCH HER!" L.L. was red in the face by the end of that sentence and everyone was quiet. Ohgi looked shocked before he turned to glare at Tamaki.
"Tamaki, did you really do all that?" Tamaki's face said it all. Ohgi was about to say something but was cut off when his phone began to ring.
Ohgi answered his phone with a "hello." His expression changed from an apologetic look to one of utter despair. He yelled into his phone. "WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT!?" Everyone stared at Ohgi with confused looks, L.L. and C.C. included.
Ohgi now looked beyond pissed. "Well where the hell are you!?" Ohgi's face paled at the answer he received. "Oh my god." Ohgi then ended the call and turned to the rest of the people and did something unexpected.
"RUN! GET OUT OF HERE!" Everyone seemed to be frozen in shock; L.L. was the first to move. He grabbed C.C.'s hand and pulled her into motion. He started packing up their stuff while handing out the leftover food to the stragglers. The rest of the Elevens began to panic. It got worse when they all started to hear a helicopter, a car, and the thundering of bullets.
When their stuff was safely stored away in the trailer, C.C. and L.L. jumped into the trailer and drove through the ghetto. No matter where L.L. drove them, the sound of bullets continued to follow them. Soon another trailer was seen in the rear view mirror. L.L., trying to lose their follower, drove into one of the abandoned subway tunnels. The other trailer followed quickly behind. C.C. and L.L. quickly jumped out of their trailer before it could crushed between a wall and the other trailer.
After the dust had settled, L.L. moved his arms and legs to check for any broken bones. After he made sure that he was good, L.L. crawled towards C.C. who had begun to do her own self-check.
"Are you okay, C.C.?" C.C. looked at L.L. with worried eyes.
"Yeah. I think so. And you?" L.L. gave a small sigh of relief before he smiled. "Yeah I'm fine." L.L. slowly got up and helped C.C. stand. "We should probably get out of here." C.C. and L.L. started to hear the sound of bullets hitting concrete and the screams of people and knew that they really had to go.
"Come on. Let's go this way."
L.L. and C.C. dodged all Britannian soldiers and Japanese terrorists as they looked for a way out of the ghettos. After ten minutes of non-stop running, L.L. and C.C. quickly hid next to the building; not worrying about being seen since it was almost the middle of the night.
"Ho-how much—hah hah—longer until we—hah—reach the end of the ghetto, L.L.?" C.C. asked to an L.L. that was practically dying from the lack of oxygen.
"I—hah—don't know. Hah hah." When L.L. finally got back his breath, he straightened up and reached for C.C.'s hand once more.
"Come on, we should keep moving." Suddenly, the two Kururugis heard a familiar shout.
"Stop!" Suddenly L.L. saw a Britannian soldier do a familiar spin kick through the air. Remembering the block that Suzaku had taught him seven years ago, L.L. was able to block most of the impact but was still knocked to the ground. C.C. gave a surprised shriek when she saw the soldier attack L.L. the mysterious soldier was the first to speak.
"That's enough mindless murder, terrorist!" L.L. was outraged to say the least.
"What the hell!? I'm not a terrorist! I'm just a civilian who got caught up in all this!" As L.L. continued to struggle, his locket came out of his shirt and in plain view. The soldier gasped which made L.L. stop struggling.
When he realized that the soldier started to reach for the necklace Suzaku had given him, L.L. panicked. "No! Don't touch it! It's mine!" The soldier paused and asked "Is that you, L.L.?" L.L. ceased his struggles once again as he studied the soldier before him.
"How do you know my name?" The soldier quickly sat back in between L.L.'s legs and took off his helmet.
"It's me, Suzaku." When the mask was fully off, L.L. could see the soldier had Suzaku's green eyes and messy brown hair.
"…Suza…ku?"
C.C. then gasped. "Dad!?" Suzaku turned around and finally noticed C.C. He quickly stood up but before he could say anything, he was crushed in a bear hug.
"C…C…you're killing…me…" C.C. quickly released him with tears in her eyes.
"Sorry. It's just...it's just..." Suzaku smiled kindly at the green haired girl.
"Yeah, I understand." C.C. was about to reply to Suzaku but then she noticed L.L. was still on the floor staring at them.
"L.L. what's wrong?" Suzaku asked with a scared look on his face. "Are you okay? Did I hurt you!?" Suzaku started to check L.L. for injuries but was interrupted by L.L. pulling him into a hug.
"You idiot…I thought you had forgotten about us." L.L. then began to cry. "I—I th—ought that that that you–ha—ad for-forgotten about us!" Suzaku seemed surprised but he quickly wrapped his arms around L.L.'s waist and hugged him. Suzaku rubbed L.L.'s back as sobs racked his body.
"It's okay, L.L. I'm sorry I left you guys for so long. I'm back and I wouldn't leave for the world." C.C. watched as L.L. continued to cry into Suzaku's chest.
…
After L.L. was calm enough, Suzaku pulled L.L. up to stand beside him.
"Come on. Let's get out of here. It's dangerous." L.L. merely nodded; still trying to get over the fact that the person he loved more than anything was once again with him. L.L. then nearly gasped as he realized a few things.
So much has changed, L.L. thought. What if he has changed? What if he doesn't really love me like he used to? WHAT IF HE'S MET SOMEONE NEW!? WHAT IF THE LOCKET MEANS NOTHING!? Meanwhile, Suzaku began to have similar doubts.
Does he still care about me? What if he forgot about me and only remembered because of C.C.!? WHAT IF HE MET SOMEONE NEW!? WHAT IF MY PICTURE ISN'T EVEN IN THAT LOCKET ANYMORE!?
As they began to doubt each other, Suzaku failed to notice that they were being followed by someone. After running a few blocks and turning at least ten corners, the trio could finally see the entrance to the settlement four blocks away. The lights of the city made everything else seem pitch black; providing the perfect cover. L.L. and C.C. collapsed against the nearest building, trying to catch their breaths as Suzaku stood watch; his breathing barely irregular. When L.L. and C.C. were able to stand once again, Suzaku turned towards them and started to whisper.
"Okay, I'll need the both of you to run with all you've got for this last stretch. It's too quiet for my tastes and that usually means that something's not right. There should be a mobile military base just past those buildings," Suzaku pointed to the right, at some old buildings that stood precariously at the edge of the ghetto. Right before Suzaku gave the signal to get ready, L.L. grabbed his arm and got his attention.
"Suzaku, you're coming with us, right?" Suzaku stared at his best friend and love with a sad smile.
"Sorry, L.L. but I've got to stay here and help end the fighting." L.L. stared back at Suzaku with horror and admiration.
"But Suzaku! I lo-" Suzaku, instead of letting L.L. finish, grabbed his hand and C.C.'s and yelled: "NOW!" With that, Suzaku ran his hardest while practically dragging C.C. and L.L. along.
Things were going good, until they reached the halfway point. A shadow darted out of the alleyway that they were about to pass, and knocked the three teens to the ground while landing on top of L.L.
L.L. opened his eyes to see a male about his age with brownish peach hair and ocean blue eyes. And he was practically screaming in his ear.
"YOU HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE! NOW! BEFORE THEY FINAD AND KILL YOU!" Right when L.L. was about to question the screaming stranger, Suzaku hauled blue eyed stranger off him while C.C. dragged L.L. away from the two males. Suzaku began to calm the weirdo down enough to get straight sentences out of him.
"Who are you and why did you attack us?" The stranger took deep breaths before he answered Suzaku.
"There is a group of Japanese terrorist in the area and they are fully armed! You can't go through there!" As he continued to ramble on, the three teens noticed that their new acquaintance was wearing a Britannian straightjacket.
As soon as Suzaku noticed this, he began to tense up; waiting for the right moment to knock this crazy person unconscious. Right before he striked though, a single gunshot sounded…and Suzaku Kururugi fell to the ground with an extra hole in his body.
…
As they ran in the shadows of the Tokyo Settlement, L.L. remembered what had occurred a few hours earlier.
~Five Hours Earlier~
"GET DOWN!" The stranger once again, knocked the shocked L.L. and C.C. to the ground; but this time they landed in the alleyway behind some dumpsters. After getting over the shock of being tossed to the ground again, L.L. got to his knees and tried crawling back to Suzaku who lay at the very entrance of the Alley.
"SUZAKU! SUZAKU GET UP! DAMNIT SUZAKU GET UP NOW!" L.L. was about to go into the line of fire once more but was pulled back by C.C. and the stranger. L.L. frantically kicked and punched skin and thin air as he struggled against those that were trying to protect him.
"LET ME GO! I HAVE TO HELP SUZAKU!" When the stranger got his second blow from L.L., he finally snapped and slapped him.
"GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF! SUZAKU KURURUGI IS DEAD! HE'S GONE! FOCUS ON C.C.! SHE NEEDS YOU RIGHT NOW!" L.L. stared in shocked silence at the red faced stranger before he looked down to the dirty asphalt; the sound of gunshots hitting the trashcans and dumpster around them began to fade into the background. Even C.C., who had let go of L.L. in order to find some sort of weapon to defend them, faded from view.
Finally, after a few minutes L.L. whispered, "What do I do?" The peach haired man stared at L.L. with eyes full of pity before he grabbed L.L.'s hand. L.L.'S eyes widened as he heard a voice in his head.
"You don't want it to end here, do you? Don't you still have to live so you and C.C. can build that house that Suzaku wanted? Right under those Sakura trees?" An image of some familiar looking sakura trees filled L.L.'s vision.
"Even though I am already contracted with someone else, I can still give you the power to do that. In exchange for that power, you must promise to live. As long as you promise to keep your heart pumping then that power is yours." L.L. contemplated it for a moment before whispering a question out loud.
"Why must my heart keep pumping? Right now all I want to do is die." The stranger seemed shocked to hear that if his expression was anything to go by. Luckily for L.L., C.C. didn't hear a thing they were saying as the terrorists got closer to their hiding place.
"You must live…because certain people, including C.C. and my accomplice, wish for you to live. That and so would have Suzaku. Don't you want revenge on the bastards that killed Suzaku?" That certainly caught L.L.'s attention. L.L. suddenly grabbed the stranger's other arm and pulled him close.
"I accept your contract!" L.L. felt a surge of power flow through him while the blue eyed stranger stared at him in awe. The moment L.L. looked aware of his surroundings, the stranger got up just as C.C. was about to panic.
"I will distract them while you two run!" Before either of the teens could stop him, their savior jumped out and into the line of fire.
And the terrorists wasted no time in emptying their bullets into the man. As the five terrorists rushed to reload their weapons, C.C., it tears in her eyes, pulled L.L. to his feet. Right when she was about to run, L.L.'s hand on her shoulder stopped her. Right when she was about to question his actions, L.L. turned away from her and walked towards the terrorists.
When L.L. reached the terrorists, they all locked their guns on him and the terrified C.C. after a rather awkward moment of silence, one of the terrorists spoke.
"So what's a school boy like you doing in a place like this!? Eh!? Shouldn't you be in bed with your thumb in your mouth!? Aren't you gonna beg for mercy!?" One of the female terrorists then started to yell at the first annoying one.
"Manuke!* just kill them already! Sheesh! You're worse than Shinichiro, and he's your twin!" L.L. interrupted before Manuke could reply.
"Hey…can I ask you Japanese people something?" the terrorists stared at L.L. with surprise in their eyes; almost as if they expected L.L. to be scared spitless. The second terrorist replied with an awkward "sure."
"Thank you. My question is…why can't you all just die? Can you do that?Can you all just die? Or do I have to command you? I will do it, you know." Everyone was shocked. Not even C.C. knew what to say.
When no one made a move to follow his commands, L.L. gave a disappointed sigh. "I guess not everyone can be obedient. Fine. I command you all…DIE!" For a few moments, no one made a move. Then, much to C.C.'s horror, the terrorists all began to laugh…and point their weapons to each other's heads. Then the one called Manuke yelled out "YES! YOUR HIGHNESS!" C.C. was able to turn away just in time as the terrorist pulled the triggers. By the time she decided to look back, L.L. had already started to make his way over to Suzaku.
…
As they got onto the train, L.L. remembered how C.C. managed to pull him away from Suzaku's body that had still been warm at the time. He remembered how he took off the locket necklace and tied it around Suzaku's neck. L.L. remembered dodging Japanese terrorists and Britannian soldiers as they escaped from the ghetto and into the Tokyo Settlement. It passed by in a daze for L.L. Even when they were able to sneak back on the Ashford Academy grounds and into their room, L.L. had yet to absorb the fact that Suzaku Kururugi was dead and that he had killed ten people and had their blood on his face and clothes.
…and Lost Again
Comments:
*"Raffiniert" is pronounced like it's spelled (good luck wit tat! ;P) and it is German for refined/sophisticated/clever/ingenious/sharp/cunning/crafty (the list goes on really).
**"Manuke" means dumb*ss in Japanese.
Sorry if it seems rushed and what not. Or if the action sucks. I'm not very good at this area. Please tell me what you think and if I had made any mistakes. Just so you know, I'm trying to follow the original timeline of the original anime but with some changes (major and minor) so, by going on what you know, I'm sure you all know suzie-chan ain't dead right? And who's this stranger that gave L.L. Geass? And who is he contracted to? If you could figure both of them out…I'll answer one question you may have on this story. Only one! If you have an account, then I'll answer you by pm. If you're a guest then…try making an account. It is free so it's all good. (I just want you to have an account so I can pm you and no one else gets to know in case it is a plot shower; I'm the mysterious type.) Oh and
