After reading your reviews, I was thinking whether to do leave it or turn it into a story…so after much thought through the deep brain thingies inside my head…and plus a round house kick on the head in Karate class, I have decided to turn this One-shot into a short story. Hahaha, honestly speaking…the kick was not part of the joke. I really got hit and it hurts.
Anyway, your wishes are now true. Consider it as a gift for the New Year! Lol. As always, I accept any criticism as long as they're done politely. And yeah, Worker72 you were right. After reading it again, I couldn't just leave it here. lol

"NO!!!" Kallen screamed and leapt towards the Black Prince.
"Kallen!!!" Someone shouted. Lelouch's head lit up in horror as he saw a familiar red head charging towards him, her arms spreading protectively around her.
"Wait! Hold your fire!" One of the Black Knights shouted but it was too late. A burst was shot out and Lelouch saw that it stood between Kallen and him.
"KALLEN!!! NO!!" Using whatever strength he had left, Lelouch, Zero pushed the girl he loves aside from the rounds of the machine gun that fired at him. Time seemed to have slowed and Kallen screamed as he collided with her knocking her off balance with his arm. Sharp burning pain coursed through his body as the bullets struck his right breast, shoulder and stomach. He lost control of his legs and with a dull thud fell to the ground.
He let out a deep moan as he closed his eyes, blood pouring out of his mouth and wounds. His body was aching in pain from the wounds and he could feel his energy draining every second.
In a flash of red blur, Kallen's worried countenance immediately filled his vision. Teary deep blue eyes studying him close. Those eyes suited her well he thought for a moment.
"Lelouch!" Her strong arms lifted his head and held him in her arms. The pain…the intense burning pain twisting his guts, it disappeared…disappeared as if he had not been shot. The pain replaced by warmth of her body.
"Lelouch…" Kallen said her voice hoarse from her crying. Her tears trailed down her stunning face. The deep blue eyes never leaving his face. Even at this state, she looked lovely.
"Why…" She muttered unable to find the proper words. "Why…If I were a pawn then why did you…"
"I…had…to save…" Lelouch paused as he coughed out blood, the tears that had been threatening to escape flowing calmly down his cheeks. "…the one last person…I love…Livvee...on…Kaallennn…my heart…my queen…" With that last statement, everything went black.

"…the one last person I love…"
Kallen's eyes widened at his confession as if she could not believe what she had heard. How long had she thought of it…wanted it? Dreamt of it? She had realised after the conversation with Nunally that she had fallen head over heels in love with Lelouch, but until now she had never expected the emotion to be returned. If he had said that he saw her more than a mere soldier, Kallen would have followed him straight to hell. She hadn't realised it herself but it was open now, naked and raw. She blinked back tears of an emotion so profound it shook her very soul.
And now she was going to lose him.
"Livvee...on…Kaallennn…my heart…my queen…" His beautiful violet eyes closed and he fell back.
"NO! NO! LELOUCH! Please! I love you! Don't die on me now! I love you!!! Did you hear me!? I LOVE YOU!!! PLEASE!!!" Kallen let out a wail...not a cry but a very pitiful wail and sobbed into his bloodied chest. Her cries shockingly were not muffled by his chest. And above the Black knights and even some of the Britannian officers including Cornelia herself watched aghast not with a little pity at the scene their anger momentarily stopped by such an act.
Kallen ignored them all, crying her heart out for Lelouch. She had not cried like this since her brother's death. Since his death, Kallen had sworn that she would never cry like this…no one would be able replace Naoto. No other men would ever meant to her so much. Not even Ohgi. Until now…
And he's gone...she had lost both of them...
"NO! Don't you dare die on me now! Not when…not when I know what is in your heart…"
But as she spoke the words…she felt something thumping against her skin. Kallen laid her head on Lelouch's chest. Did she felt his heart beat? Or was she just hoping it to be true? No, it was his heart beat. Lelouch was still alive. Kallen felt her hopes coming back to life. But not for long. He needs medical attention. Fast. But not here.
Then she heard someone barking an order above her and prepared herself. She drew out her knife from her chest pocket and fixed in a reverse grip aiming for the shadow that was approaching.
"Move girl." An electronic voice demanded and gripped her shoulder hard. With a cry, she thrust the blade into the soldier's neck, just above the breastplate. Sensing another adversary beside her, Kallen brought her leg in a high round-house kick. Her booted foot collided with the Britannian soldier's face, cracking his visor. She used opportunity to grab the soldier she had impaled and hurled him against his fellows.
"Kallen, what are you doing?!" One of the Black Knights shouted. In response, Kallen took Lelouch's pistol and shot the officer who fired at Lelouch. The bullet struck the man in the head. That she killed one of her own Black Knights shocked everyone.
"Kallen, have you gone mad!?"
Using the chaos, Kallen grabbed Lelouch's unconscious form and hurled him over her shoulder and began to run to the Guren's hanger her desire to protect him giving her the strength to do the impossible.
"Kill her!!!" A Britannian officer shouted, his armoured soldiers training their weapons on the red-stressed Knightmare pilot.
"Wait! No!" Ohgi interrupted but the soldiers either didn't hear him or just ignored him and fired anyway. The guns roared but the rounds struck a violet coloured shield instead.
The Shinkirō appeared out of nowhere, its Druid System activated, startling everyone even Kallen who momentarily paused.
"Hurry! Save big brother!" Rolo's voice called out from the ebony Knightmare and used his Geass to freeze time around the pursuers.
"Take him!" The Shinkirō held out its hand and then disappeared, taking Lelouch with it.
"What the-where did it go?" With the Black Knights momentarily stun, Kallen rushed to the Guren.
Thankfully the hanger was empty and the Guren's cockpit was still open. Using the Guren S.E.I.T.E.N's superior speed, she easily passed the patrols of both Britannian and Black Knight forces without them even knowing. Until it was too late.
She found the Shinkirō flying out disappearing here and there still followed by some Akatsuki Jikisanshiyō and Vincent Wards. Anger boiling her she gave no mercy and fired her radiant wave surger arm at the unsuspecting Knightmares, taking them down without any trouble with the radiant blast crippling others.
"Kallen! What are you doing?!" Oghi's voice blared over her radio. "Are really going to side with that monster?!"
"GO TO HELL!" Kallen screamed back before cutting off communication, turning back to fire a radiant beam at the Ikaruga's engine. The blood-red beam ate away the hulls with a large explosion.
It was aimed to prevent them from pursuing them. Looking at the damaged she caused with grim satisfaction, Kallen turned back following the Shinkirō.
Sorry for the short chapter. It's not really that good but it shows that this story will be continued. It won't be a long one like When Fates Converge just a handful of chapters.
Now review or I might get bored and kill Lelouch in this story!!!
Kallen: Try if you dare! (Pulling out her knife.)
Ohh! Scary...what are you going to do? Stab...(Knife coming at the neck)...ok nevermind.
