3rd chapter Title: Bolt from the blue of my trance

Brief Summary: She came, with some blue irises and some stories from her journey she faced him, his cold grave stone. She saw a figure, a man with raven tresses. Read on!

Narita Airport

She is back.

This is definitely not a dream.

Hesitant at first but still she chose to be.

There's no other choice, it was a promise.

As she walks towards the exit, she saw a placard with her name.

C.C., written in a white card board and was held by a man dressed in black suit.

Obviously it was sent to pick her up.

'How convenient..' she thought.

She walk towards the man, she could sense that the man was aware of her presence.

Obviously, she can be immediately distinguished among the people of many.

Green locks, very unusual.

" Miss C.C., welcome back.." the man politely greeted.

"Hai.. I'm back, thank you.." she replied, giving a chaste smile.

" Let me carry that for you, this way please.." the man said as he courteously held C.C's small red velvet duffel bag from her hand, escorting her towards the waiting car.

C.C. politely nodded and followed the man.

As she was now comfortably seated at the back seat of the car, she glances at the sight from the car window.

'Everything hasn't even changed, this place, this country is still the same, dusty..' she thought.

"How was your flight, Miss..?" the man asked cutting her silent reverie.

"It was good.." she answered.

" Is the Empress arrived already..?" she politely asked the polite man in front.

"Yes, Miss.. Her highness has just arrived this morning, and is now having a small dinner with the associates here.." the man answered.

" I see, I'm guessing that I would not gonna see her tonight.." she replied.

"I am afraid so, Miss." The man responded giving her a polite smile.

As the car went near to a familiar place, she felt a sudden fear in her heart.

She just deeply sighed.

The gates open.

"We are here, Miss.." the man said.

The man quickly got out from the car and politely opens her door.

"Thank you.." she said.

"The pleasure is mine, Miss" he replied.

Her amber eyes were conquered by the sight of the cozy familiar home.

The lovely Lamperouge residence inside the huge compound of the Ashford Academy.

She had anticipated it already.

The Empress would definitely insist her to stay there, especially at a time like this.

She makes gentle strides to the front door.

As she gently held the knob, it was slowly opened from the inside.

"Welcome back, Miss C.C." the familiar figure greeted.

"Sayoko-san, I'm back.." she answered as she was ushered inside.

"Miss C.C., I am assuming that you are hungry already I'll prepare dinner and a warm tea.." Sayoko said as she gently put the small duffel bag on the bed.

"No, I'm fine.. But thank you.." C.C answered as she slowly entered his room.

"Well then, If you will excuse me Miss.." Sayoko said as she slowly exited the door and closing it.

C.C. was now left alone, on his room.

She had already assume that she would gonna be spending the days of her visit in this house, his house.

She slowly scans the whole room.

It was neat and clean.

The same as before, his things, his bed, the sheets, the curtains and everything.

All of it, it was his.

The Empress was truly thoughtful, assuming that she would not gonna have a good sleep in a different room.

His bedroom was the most comfortable in the whole house, for her.

She lets her body slump on the softness of the bed as she turned off the light.

She lets her hand crumpled the linen sheets as she inhales its scent.

Lavender, just like before.

She slowly shuts her eyes and lets the darkness envelop her.

And she was asleep smiling, showing that she begins to have a good dream, at last.

"C.C.-san, Welcome back!.." the lovely Empress greeted as she slowly opens the door.

Nunnally was slightly taken aback by C.C.'s sight.

"I guess she was tired, Your highness.." Sayoko said from her behind.

"I guess so too, let us just allow her have a good night sleep and greet her tomorrow morning with a nice breakfast.." The empress said smiling as she and Sayoko departs the room.

"I cannot agree more to that, Your highness.." and the door slowly shut.

The sun is shining.

The blue sky was filled with cotton-like clouds.

The wind is blowing.

The leaves were dancing.

The birds are chirping.

It was a warm, pleasant and comfy morning that greeted C.C.

She had fallen asleep last night without her knowing.

She was definitely tired from her flight.

Clothed in her comfy red and white knee length dress she went downstairs on the kitchen.

From there she was greeted by the smiling Empress and Sayoko whom is arranging breakfast on the table.

"A pleasant morning to both of you, Your highness and Sayoko-san.." greeted C.C as she saw them.

"Good morning to you too, C.C-san.." the Empress replied and Sayoko smiled to her.

"Mind if I join you..?" C.C. asked as she comfortably situated her self to a seat across Nunnally.

"Of course.. I would be delighted.." Nunnally replied.

It was a splendid home made breakfast.

It was a first in a year for C.C, she missed it.

Sayoko was an excellent cook, like him.

As they finish their meal, they settled a warm cup of tea on the veranda by the garden.

Nunnally's favorite spot.

C.C sips from her cup, the liquid swirl down from her throat, Nunnally speaks.

" How was Paris..?"

"Lovely.. It was definitely called as the city of romance.." she answered giving the Empress a chaste smile.

" What would be your next destination..?"

" I'm still not decided, probably Switzerland, or Scotland. Spain would also be a good option." She replied as she stirs her tea with her silver spoon.

" How long are you gonna stay..?"

She was slightly wondered by the question she just smiled and sighs.

"Probably after that I'll set off.." she simply answered as she sips another drink from her cup.

" I see, I'm happy to see you well.." Nunnally said as she looks at her, smiling.

"Brother would feel the same too seeing you now, if he is here.." Nunnally continued.

"Hai.." she simply answered.

'But he is not here..' she thought as she finishes here cup and silently eyeing the view from his flower-filled garden.

Two days before the event she just settled her self on his room.

She is not in the mood to wander, and be reminded of him.

The place, the city and every thing is filled with memories of him.

She just wants the days to go by and without her noticing it ended.

It finally came.

She let other people who loved him and cared for him to commemorate his first.

There were some who still remembers him, a few who she is aware of.

Dear friends who would never gonna forget him.

She definitely made it a point that her time with him would be her and him only.

She wants to be alone with him.

A few hours would trigger dusk.

And most of the people would certainly settle to go home.

It's time.

A perfect time for her.

As she was sure that no one was there, she came.

His ossuary was filled with flowers of different kinds and colors.

Pictured like a flower bed.

As she put her blue irises down beside of a few of them, she speaks.

"It's been a while.. You were probably stunned by my presence here. I assume that you thought I would never gonna come.." she said with a bit of sarcasm.
" Your lovely sister was so persistent in convincing me to come, so I came.." she continued as she gently touch his grave stone with his name.

'Lelouch vi Brittania' written in a neatly gothic manner.

"Your probably wondering what I have been up to lately.. I was so busy, I was everywhere around the world.."

'Because of you..' she thought.

" I don't know what to say, you probably knew everything, from there I know you have seen it.."

"I am such a fool..Ne?" she said as a sudden emotion came to her.

"I have lived long and merely a few centuries, but this is a first.."

" I never looked back, never have I ponder about the people of my past.."

"But look at me now, I'm here.. You should be grateful, this is a special treatment.."

"And I would assume that you would expect me for the years to come.." she continued as she gives a pure and placid smile.

The sun is near in its setting.

She gently stands up.

Hesitant but was already determine she bids farewell.

"It's time for me to go, though I know you would not want to.. I'm a busy girl.." she said as she once again gives a gentle touch on his grave.

"Don't worry I'll be back.. "

She can't move. She doesn't wanna go, but it's time.

"Goodbye Lelouch.." she said as she slowly turns her back and walks away from his.

She decided to have a small stroll on the city; it was her final day of visit.

It would be nice to spend it nicely.

She went to the busy shops and kiosks.

She bought some stuff that takes her interest.

She ended her small stroll on a cozy small café.

She ordered a warm tea and a delicious looking chocolate filled cake.

She settled for a seat beside the shops window.

Tomorrow would be another day for her, for her never ending life.

Going to a foreign and far away country of God knows where.

Killing her time and spending it again to wait for his event.

As she sips her tea, something caught her attention.

Wait, it was not something but someone.
She was aghast, shock and definitely stunned.

From the position she was in, across the street a raven haired figure caught her sighting.

She blinks and rubs her eyes.

The figure was still there, not an illusion.

She hurriedly stood from her seat and puts out some cash for her meal.

She quickly goes out by the door.

She looks for the figure, its moving.

She follows not minding the people that she would slightly bump in to.

Her eyes were focused.

Her heart was hoping.

She then notices that the places that she was now in to are now far away from the city.

The figure and she are now near a park.

And he turns left, obviously going to the said place.

She had settled a slightly far distance from the figure, for her to be unnoticed.

She looks like a prowler judging from the situation.

As the said figure nears a small play ground, he stopped.

" Why are you following me..?" he speaks.

But there was no answer.

"I know you are in there, come out already.." he continued still not taking a chance to glance from his alleged stalker.

"I am sorry.." she replied as she came out from her hiding place.

As the figure turn his front to her sighting, it made her body stunned and horror-struck.

She shook her head from side to side, disbelieving the figure of the man in front of her.

"It can't be.." she muttered incredulously as her trembling hands covered her mouth.

"Lelouch..!"

Tsuzuku! ^_^

A/N: Wow! Quite a long chapter there…
I tried to end this with a cliff hanger…

This is also a revised version of the original chapter that I have, at first I decided that C.C would go to Japan without Nunnally knowing it but in the end I made it this way..

I hope you all liked this..

Was it really Lelouch..?

Was everything really true or just a dream..?

Is C.C still gonna go away..?

Well these questions would be answered by the coming chapters..

In that I'm gonna end this with this:

The reality of life though painful and unwanted still it is the truth.. We have no choice but to see and face it because it is what it is, unavoidable..

Thank you..

Long hair love,
