Enjoy! :)

Chapter III

Cc felt like a princess wearing an invisible crown, walking down the hallway of Theatro Aneleiti. The theatre director just told her that she was chosen by the Prime Minister of Japan to perform for his son Suzaku's twenty-third birthday. It was commonly known that Suzaku Kururugi is very picky, especially when it comes to people who are performing for such special occasions. She can't believe that a newbie like her would be chosen.

Her phone rang. She hastily answered the call when she saw Lelouch's name registered on the screen. "Lelouch, I have good news for you!" "Let me guess, the Prime Minister of Japan chose you to perform for his son's birthday. Am I right?" Came his automatic reply. Lelouch and Suzaku, as she knows, are the best of friends. "Isn't it great? Me, performing for the Prime Minister and his choosy son. Wait. Does he know we know each other?" "He saw the ticket for your show in my office. And I told him about you. He asked his dance critic friend regarding the feedbacks about you. The mere fact that you are part Japanese like him, he then decided to talk to your director about bringing Theatro Aneleiti here. I think next week is your schedule on arriving here."

"Think so to. Are you going to watch?" Cc asked, hoping he would. "That depends. If you're gonna kiss some guy again, I'd rather be swallowed by the snow alive. And I'm sure every man in Japan will ogle you. Right! It should really rain snow and hard, so they can't watch you due to the freezing temperature." She leaned on the nearest wall and chuckled. "I am really starting to think that you are jealous." She heard Lelouch laugh. "And I want to think that you like me that's why you kissed me the last time we were together." He said in a serious, husky voice. She almost dropped the phone that she's holding. She felt like she's evaporating. She cleared her throat, to regain her voice. "Well, that's something we should not discuss through the phone." It's not the best idea to admit her feelings through the phone. She wants to come face to face with him. Telling Lelouch that he is Cc's prince. And that she cares less about other men's kisses. Only Lelouch's kisses are memorable and important.

"You're right. But, if there's another kissing scene, I won't watch." "No worries about that. We'll do Sylvia and I'll just play as a huntress nymph. Some romantic scenes, but no kissing. I assure you that." "Is Euphy tagging along?" "I'm not quite sure. She'll have a show on the same day I'll leave for Japan. Guess what? She's having a solo role. She'll play as one of the fairies in Sleeping Beauty." Cc's really happy for Euphy's start. The ballet company is beginning to notice her talent. And she's hoping that one day, Euphy will reach her dreams. Of course, as long as she is hard working. "That's great! I'll give her a call later and I will see you soon, princess."

Soon. It was Lelouch's promise. She needs to be the very best while performing. She wanted to impress not only the whole Japan but she wants Lelouch to also be proud of her and love the art that makes her happy.

[Cc's performance at Japan was a smashing success and she's back at Venice again]

Lelouch and Cc were holding hands heading to Theatro Aneleiti to catch up on Euphy's show. They were happily chatting about their stay in Japan. It was just a few hours ago that the plane landed from Japan. "I would really like to go back there. The audience is great and very generous." Cc commented with a smile. She couldn't believe that she was given very expensive jewelleries from some politicians. She just didn't know how to say "no."

Lelouch lazily nodded and scoffed. "Right! They even offered you to be a part of their so called harem." His usual calm expression turning into a pissed one. Cc just giggled. "Aww, your jealous again, aren't ya?" She pinched his cheek. "I refused to be a part of their harem, alright. And besides I told them that YOU Lelouch Lamperouge is my Prince." Lelouch hugged her by the waist and nuzzled her neck. "Good, and even better, nobody kissed you. It would be a total destruction. I'd beat him to a pulp." Lelouch watched her whole performance at Japan. Adoration shone through his eyes. Finally, he's starting to appreciate ballet.

"Cc," Lelouch took a deep breath as he looked at Cc's golden orbs. "Yes, Lelouch?" She looked at Lelouch's deep violet eyes. Lelouch neared his face, exactly just a few inches from Cc's. "I Love You, Cera." Lelouch covered his face to hide the blush that's beginning to creep on his face. Cc giggled and snatched Lelouch's hand from his face. Cupping both of his cheeks in her petite hands. Lelouch stared at her still shy. "Took you so long to realize that. I Love you too, Lelouch." And closed the distance between them. Cc felt the feathery touch of Lelouch's lips. She could smell his intoxicating manly scent.

As they broke apart Cc smiled genuinely. Their foreheads still touching, Lelouch neared his lips to Cc's ear, "I'll always be here for you. My Romantic Empress."

N: Three years have passed, Lelouch and Cc are now officially a couple. After a smashing success at France, Cc decided to return to Japan. Lelouch was surprised, extremely glad for her return and his excited that Cc decided to rest and set aside ballet for a while.

"Look Lelouch, there are so many fishes. So pretty." Cc was very amused looking at the wonders under the ocean through the glass table. Both of them are having breakfast at the Sirens, a restaurant built above water.

One of the attractions in that restaurant is that you can see the ocean beneath its glass tables and floors. It feels like their eating above the aquarium.

Lelouch chuckled. "You look like a little girl entering an aquarium for the first time. Just eat so that we can explore this island even further later, Okay?" She pouted and smiled, "Aye sir." It was their third anniversary and Lelouch took her to one of the most luxurious resort in all Japan.

After breakfast Lelouch took her on the stable side where you can rent a horse to explore the whole island. The horse was just moving moderately, she yawned getting all bored. "Lelouch, at this rate I'll fell asleep. It looks like the horse is out of energy." "We're moving on the accurate speed Cc." She looked up at him, a smirk forming on her lips. She kicked the horse's side and as the horse neighed, it began moving faster.

Cc laughed aloud, the wind was hitting her face and making her hair flow. It's exactly what she wanted, to wake her inner adventurous side. "Damn it, Cc! Are you insane or what?" Lelouch was trying his best to hold back his anger as he returned the horse's normal speed back. "I am not! This is just what you call having fun." Lelouch wrapped his arms around her waist. He moved her close until Cc's back was hitting his chest. "Are you really trying to scare me to death? What will happen if you fell?" "I know it won't happen. I know you'll take good care of me. Let's go back to the stable now." Lelouch sighed, relieved. "Okay." His voice was heard throughout the entire island as she once again kicked the horse and it once again moved fast. She would have the time of her life with Lelouch.

Cc stretched her hands, while preparing herself to jump. Their on the northern part of the island, where limestone cliffs stood. It was the perfect location for rock climbing, rappelling and even bungee jumping. "Have you tried this before?" Lelouch asked while attaching the harness at her. She shook her head. "But I want to give it a shot." She smiled. "Are you still not contented? You rock climbed coming up here. Now you want to go bungee jumping?" Lelouch sighed. "Yep! And we'll try rappelling after this. Perfect!" "You don't have to this, alright?" Lelouch held her close. She faced Lelouch and chuckled. "Look, this is going to be fun. Now stay here and wait 'cause I'm going to jump."

Lelouch was left no choice when she jumped. She felt her soul scattering when she was dropped. And her soul getting snatched when she was pulled upwards. Her knees trembled and weaken when she felt she was back to the ground. "Lelouch! I did it!" she exclaimed. "I did it!" Lelouch hugged her tight when she was released from the harness. "Don't you ever dare try that stupid stunt again! You'll surely kill me."

"Lelouch, what's the matter? You're shaking." Nothing bad happened to her. Or maybe he was angry at her, that's why. But if he's mad he won't hug her like this. "I will not risk your life just to try some stupid stunts. I don't care if it's fun or you enjoyed it! You'll never going to do th—"Lelouch was cut off when he felt a soft, gentle touch on his lips. He wrapped his arms around Cc's waist. When they broke off from their kiss Cc looked at him smiling. "Lelouch, I'm still alive. That was just bungee jumping. I'm safe. Okay?" He shook his head. "I don't know. I'm going to take you home."

She tried to hold back her laughter when she saw how furious he was. "Let's go now, it's getting cold up here. The sun is almost setting." He whispered softly. She groaned. "Are you really going to take me back home?" Well, if it's his choice, she can't do anything about it. He smirked. "No. Now, you need some rest. We're gonna have lots of adventures tomorrow." Hand in hand they hiked down the limestone cliffs.

AN: -drum rolls- That was the third chapter! I don't know if you guys liked this, -sighs- Anyways, a million THANK YOU to my reviewers, YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME! I'll do my best to make this story even better.

This story is AU, so Lelouch is just a normal young lad with a happy and complete family. Cc is not a witch and has a loving father, she's half French and half Japanese. And Suzaku was mentioned in this chapter, he'll make an appearance on the upcoming chapters. I made him half Indian and half Japanese. [Since for me, he looks like one.] Again, THANK YOU and PLEASE leave some reviews!
