Zany: umm..Hi Siri is away on Vacation right now, so I'm helping her post..for now. Anyway this is Siri's story, she doesn't own anything, the usual. I have no idea what's going on in my defense so there won't be a nice fancy author's note or anything.

While Skye was in the military he got his hair cut (author interruption: OMG!).

Kallen:

It had been three years since I last saw Skye. He'd had the look that made you want to run away screaming. I mean his soft black hair was longer than mine, he was always bruised and pale, and his eyes screamed pain, hate, and anger. That's why I didn't expect to see him one day when I was fourteen. He was walking a bit behind the group; he now had a real eyepatche that covered half of his face, he had a buzz cut, and he seemed more at peace when he talked. He saw me and his eyebrow raised,

"Hey! Kallen! It's me. Remember... Girly Boy."

His friend burst out in laughter.

" They called you Girly! Ha!" tears were now streaming, " oh I can't believe this!"

Skye rolled his eyes and said, "Oh turn off the waterworks ya marshmallow! Oh Kallen this is Dice... Dice the marshmallow."

The other boy had gotten a hold on himself now," Oh yeah I'm a marshmallow and you're a rock! Snipe!"

Skye rolled his eyes and shoved his friend off muttering. Then he looked at me and seemed sad; like when he was a kid. I was worried and shit so I went through the whole don't kill anyone spiel again. When I was done he gave me his card and walked off.

Skye:

Well that was really weird. I saw Kallen and she didn't even recognize me! Then Dice came and was the annoying little bug he is. the next day we overslept because we were slightly drunk. I woke up and hot breakfast ready and set out when I heard a knock. I walked over after wiping my mouth and behold it was Kallen. I smiled and said,

"Well. Look who was lonesome."

She cleared her throat and was staring at me oddly. I looked down. I mean I know I'm well built but come on I had a shirt on. Of course it was black, sleeveless, and tight but still.

Flashback(author interruption: these happen a lot so deal with it!):

"Staring is NOT appropriate Sir Skyler." the tutor said sternly. I nodded and he continued on with his lecture until 'his highness' Lelouch would get bored and have me go play tag, chess, or some other dumb childhood game until my parents took me back to our estate.

End of flashback

Kallen came in and was obviously amazed that six dudes could live in the same house and it still be neat and clean. I rolled my eyes. Wow talk about stereotyping.

When she left later that night she asked me what I will always consider to be a stupid question, "Skye, can-can I come back later?"

I laughed and said, "Well, I don't know if 'duh' is blunt enough. Of course."

Later that week Dice and I were on a routine job. Yadda, yadda, yadda, kill the drug seller, and get out. We were behind some barrels when two bullets came. One hit Dice in the head, and the other lodged itself in my shoulder. Dice went down, his eyes were glazed over and he was stuttering,

"Skye-Skye-y-y-you-h-hold the-the-band- yeah hold the-the band t-t-t-tog-together!" then his eyes closed, he stopped breathing, and he smiled. I sat there. In a trance. Dice. Dice. No! No Dice could NOT be dead. But, he was. I was thirteen and had lost everything that mattered. I gently put his body down, walked out from behind the barrels. I held my gun up and fired three shots in quick succession. Bang-Bang-Bang. Three bodies fell to the floor. Right then I has nothing. And no one. And surprisingly that thought didn't fill me with warm fuzzy feelings.

Three weeks later when they gave me a new partner I was not pleased, and dismissed her saying, "Psh. I don't need some kid to help me. I work alone. You can go home now."

She looked at me and glared with that 'what-did-you-just-say-young-man look that I so often got from my mother. Then to top it all off she followed me back to my room and kicked me out of my bed! I mean she literally said,

"Woooow! This bed is really comfy. I like it. Is it your bed, Skye?" I nodded, " Well then as punishment for dissing me I'm going to steal it. You will be on the floor or the couch from now on."

My mouth fell open. Who does this kid think she is. After a minute she said in a very annoyed manner, "My name your rudeness, is Max. And stop staring."

True to her word I slept on the couch. Until she would get scared and wake me up to talk to her. Soon enough she had me smiling and laughing but only in private. I was a cold stone in public. For years we worked together until I got off active duty temporarily. (the black knights have begun and Skye is now sixteen((sorry for the time jump)))

At Ashford we, well I was given a tour before class. My brother Zen was currently sleeping at home. When introduced to the class I thought that Kallen, or Lelouch would fall out of his chair. It was HILARIOUS! I was a year above my age because I said that I had to watch over my brother and I felt like it. I pondered the Black Knights, I felt like they would be the best way to get revenge simply because of Zero who I knew was Zero. So my brother and I decided to join. This should be fun!

Siri:In my defense no one reads my stories but I finally got off my butt and did this. I will be gone all summer. TANK YOU!
