A/N – I'm inspired thanks for the reviews.

Second Step- Rai Sumeragi.
It has been a week since the hostage taking happened.
And nothing changes.
Except for the familiarizations that the silver haired guy felt.
"Who am I?" that's what he always thought.
"Rai!" Shirley yelled.
"Yes?" Rai smiled.
"Well, ummm. Milly wants us to buy some equipment." Shirley said.
"Equipment? For?" Rai asked.
"For the school festival." Shirley answered.
"What's a school festival?" Rai asked.
"Wait, you've never been in a school festival?" Rivalz interrupted.
"Actually, I don't. I can't recall myself being in a festival." Rai answered.
"You still can't remember anything?" Suzaku joined in.
"Hmmm." Lelouch said.
"Yes. " Rai answered.
"And what's this? A meeting in the hallway?" Milly jumped in.
"Well, were just talking about the equipment in the Fest." Shirley winked.
"Oh, about that, you and Rai should go now." Milly smiled.
"Okay. Let's go Rai." Shirley said.
"Okay." Rai answered.
The both walked away.
"What a mysterious guy, am I right Lelouch?" Suzaku asked.
Lelouch didn't answer.
"Hellooooo?" Rivalz asked.
"Uhh. Yes! Indeed, a mysterious guy." Lelouch snapped back.
"Why can't he remember anything?" Lelouch thought.
"Let's go guys! We have to plan the activities!" Milly said.
"What about Shirley and Rai?" Rivalz asked.
"Yeah, you… appointed them to buy things. and-" Suzaku was cut out by Milly with a wink.
"hmmm." Lelouch thought.
Xxxxxxxxxx
"Where are we now Shirley?" Rai asked.
"Actually, I lied. Sorry about that Rai." Shirley said.
"Lied? About what?" Rai said.
"He's so innocent." Shirley thought.
"Well, we really aren't here to buy some equipment." Shirley answered.
"I see. So where are we going now?" Rai asked.
"Well, Milly wanted me to tour you to the town." Shirley said.
"So, do you call this a date?" Rai answered.
"Well, I suppose." Shirley smiled. Making Rai blush.
The pair toured the town.
They're in the Shinjuku where everything has been destroyed leaving the pair sat in the rocks.
"So, you've talked to the Princess?" Shirley asked.
"Excuse me?" Rai positioned himself beside Shirley.
"In the hijacking incident. You've talked to her right?" Shirley asked.
"Well, yes. But it's not that important." Rai said.
"Oh. Why didn't you want to publicize Rai?" Shirley asked.
"Well, if that's what you mean. Well, I don't really like being the center of attention, especially when I don't even know myself." Rai answered.
"I see." Shirley said.
"I'll walk you home. Since it's getting late." Rai said.
"How about you?" Shirley asked.
"I'm currently in the care of the Ashford Administration." Rai smiled.
"Oh yes. Sorry I forgot." Shirley said.
"You're not really fond of forgetting Shirley. Has Lelouch finally overcome your mind and heart?" Rai smiled.
"Eh?!" Shirley blushed. Making Rai chuckle.
Rai walked Shirley home.
Rai was walking when he heard some men yelling and some gun shots.
He ran to the place where he heard the gunshots and he saw some knightmares battling each other.
He was in an underground lair. Where the newly formed Order of the Black Knights was ambushing a place ful of refrains.
Rai could only stand in horror.
He was about to be shot by a Britannian Knightmare but then he was saved by a Black Knight Knightmare.
It was a Sutherland.
Rai is knowledgeable when it comes to Academics and everything. He's smarter than Lelouch. He's even stronger than Suzaku. Rai was known as the Prince of Ashford. Due to his charismatic looks, deep blue sea eyes. And slim body. He was perfect. More than perfect.
"What are you doing here?!" A man from the Sutherland asked.
"He's a britannian! SHOOT HIM!" The other guy from the Black Knights in a Sutherland yelled.
He was about to be shot when a Knightmare Police gunned the Knightmare that was holding Rai.
Rai jumped and ran into a safe surface.
"You're an idiot Rai. You really are an idiot." Rai thought.
Then he saw a man. A Britannian man. He was about to help his colleague when a knightmare pointed a gun at him.
"Please stop! Promise! I'll change! Just let me and my friend live!" The Britannian cried.
"No promises for you!" The Japanese yelled.
The Japanese pushed the button and several bullets were fired.
But then the Britannian was alive.
The Britannian was protected by a certain student from Ashford Academy.
The silver haired guy, with no memories.
Rai Hodges.
"What are you doing!" The Britannian yelled.
"Please, keep your promis, change your life. There's more time for you." Rai smiled.
The britannian noticed the blood in Rai chest, as well as his arms and stomach.
But Rai was still standing. Arms reached out.
"Oh look who's the hero." The Japanese grinned.
Zero noticed the happening and went there with his Sutherland.
And he saw the silver haired guy.
"RAI! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" The guy who wears a masked thought. Also known as Zero
"Keep him alive Tamaki!" Zero said.
"But he, protected the Britannian!" Tamaki yelled.
"Just do it." Another Japanese said.
"but Ohgi." Tamaki said.
"You should listen to Commander Zero!" a girl said.
"You too? Kallen?" Tamaki said.
The brittanian whom Rai had just saved ran, along with his friend.
Rai can't handle the pain anymore.
Then a knightmare carried him and that's all he can remember.

"Do you know him?" Kallen asked to Zero who was staring at Rai.
"I don't. do you? He's from your school right?" Zero asked.
"Yes. He's Rai Hodges, the Prince of Ashford Academy, the boy with no memories." Kallen answered.
"I see." Zero said.
"I'll be on the Surveillance Room, I'll watch him through the cameras." Kallen said.
"I see." Zero said.
"I'll be on the surveillance room. I'll watch him through the cameras." Kallen said, walking away.
"Good. I'll be back to the quarters." Zero said.
Xxxx
"What do you think Lelouch?" A green haired girl asked.
Zero took his mask. And it revealed the black haired guy, with purple eyes. Lelouch Lamperouge.
"About what?" Lelouch asked.
"About him. Do you remember him?" The green haired girl asked.
"How do you—" He was cut off by the girl's grin.
"I don't know. I don't want to say things to him. Maybe because, he was sent by Britannia to spy on me, or on us." Lelouch said.
"Wait, he doesn't know that you have a sister?" The green haired girl asked.
"Nope. It's too risky." Lelouch answered.
"hmmmm." The green haired girl stood up and went to the doorway.
"Where are you going?" Lelouch asked.
The green haired girl smiled.
"What?" Lelouch said. Putting his mask back.
"You're coming too?" The green haired girl said entering the elevator.
"Yes, I'm quite interested on the contrary." Zero said.
"I suggest you should go to the surveillance room. And observe everything." The green haired girl smiled.
"Okay. I trust you." Zero said. Making his way to the surveillance room.
Zero was in the surveillance room where he found Kallen, sitting, facing the T.V where he saw the lying Rai, still unconscious, and he joined Kallen in, and saw that the green haired girl entered the room.
Xxat the roomXx
"Hey! Wake up!" The green haired girl shouted.
Rai woke up. And he found himself, covered in bandages.
"Who are you? Where am I?" Rai asked.
"He doesn't remember anything." The green haired girl thought.
Before Rai knew it. The girl was leaning in to him.
And his and her lips met.
Xx at the surveillance roomXx
"WHAT!" Kallen blushed.
"Interesting." Zero said.
Xxxback at Raixxx
Rai can't believe it.
He mostly remembered everything, but he was satisfied.
"Thank you. C.C you really are a good companion." Rai said.
"Hmmm. Well that's a record." C.C smirked.
Rai smiled.
"What are you plans now?" C.C smirked.
"I should… Act like I don't remember everything. Because, Euphemia has seen me. As well as Lelouch." Rai said.
"So, -" She was cut off when she realized that Rai was not there anymore.
"Oh Rai. Do you really have to use it on me?" C.C thought.
Xxx Meanwhile at the Surveillance Room. Xxx
"WHERE'S RAI?!" Kallen yelled.
"WHAT?!" Zero Exclaimed.
"That witch. Tch." Zero thought.
"What should we do? ZERO!" Kallen yelled.
"Let him be. I have some matters to deal with." Zero said.
"But he already knows where we are." Kallen said.
"I told you to leave it. And you should go back to your school tomorrow and observe him." Zero said with an angered voice.
He then went to C.C who was lying on Rai's bed.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?" Zero yelled.
"Don't worry. He'll act low. Trust me." C.C smiled.
"How did you know?" Zero asked. Still angry.
"He know's the best. Don't worry. You know him. He won't do anything." C.C smirked.
"Wait, has he regained his memories?" Zero asked.
"I don't know. Maybe?" C.C giggled.
Xxx after a tiring night. Xxx
It was morning; Rai woke up with a smile on his face. He reached out to a small recorder. And recorded some of the happenings that he just went through
"I can't believe it, that I would meet C.C, what a small world." Rai smiled.
"Hello? Anybody here?" A red haired girl asked. Entering Rai's room.
"Who's there?" Rai asked. He hid in his pocket sized recorder in his pocket.
"Rai! What are you doing here?" Kallen asked.
"It's my dorm. I should ask you the same question." Rai smiled.
"eh? I—IM NOT PEEKING INTO YOU! It's just- I'm sorry. I don't really remember that this is your dorm." Kallen blushed.
"It's okay. I understand. Are you here to pick me up because I'm late?" Rai smiled.
"Yes." Kallen said.
"Well I'm sorry for dragging you into this." Rai smiled.
"It's okay. Now let's go." Kallen said walking away.
"So, where's the next class?" Rai asked.
"It's in the next building." Kallen answered.
"I see." Rai answered.
They're in the fifth floor of Ashford Dormitory, and since it doesn't have any building in that elevator. They have to walk.
"You still don't remember anything?" Kallen asked.
"Actually, I don't but I can recall a place." Rai answered.
Rai wanted to go back to that the place.
Where Rai and his mother used to pray before.
"What kind ofplace?" Kallen stopped.
"It' more like an old Japanese cathedral." Rai said.
"Hmmm. Can you recall the time, where you saw that chapel from the very last time?" Kallen asked.
"Does she know the place?" Rai thought.
"Well, when I was 12 I guess." Rai said.
"hmmmm." Kallen said.
"hmmm?" Rai hummed.
"Meet me after school. I think I know the place." Kallen said.
