The next day
Lelouch's pov
In the middle of day we had our regularly scheduled Student Council meeting. I looked at my phone to see what to expect. I quickly put it away since it read that Milly was getting aggravated at me for not paying attention to the discussion on what to do with regards to the theater department's t-shirts for their performance of the Sword and the Stone at the end of the month.
"Well seeing as we're running low on budget," I said sitting up and pretending like I had been paying attention the whole time, "Shall we ask the sewing club to make them?"
"That's not a bad idea actually," Rivalz agreed.
"Well then we need someone to be coordinator in case there becomes an issue. Kallen would you do the honors?" Milly asked her.
"Sure…I guess so," Kallen responded.
"Ah, by the way Milly," I put some printed out folders on the table. "I was doing some research and I'd like to have these two students join the student council. They're not part of any clubs yet so I figured it wouldn't be too much trouble and school policy does require all students to join a club at some point."
"Well if you want to be my guest," Milly told me, "Of course this is entirely on your time. You want them. You find them," she winked, "And then bring them straight to me."
"Uh sure," I said. I looked at my phone.
"And quit pulling out your phone every five seconds are you expecting a call or something? Bring that thing out again in the middle of the meeting and I'll break your wrist," Milly threatened.
"Right sorry," I put it away.
"Lulu, are you expecting a phone call?" Shirley asked.
"Nah, not really," I said. Think of an excuse, quick. I did my best to think of something. My mind went back to when I was feigning to Kallen about not being Zero. "Uh there's a friend who I play this online game with I told him to text me if he got in trouble." This however wound up with me getting smacked over the head with the manuscript again. "That's even worse. Can't you separate videogames from your schoolwork?"
"His grades are in the toilet so what does he care?" Rivalz chuckled.
"Very funny," I shot back.
"Moving onto the next topic, Shirley does the Swim Team still need help with that guest speaker?" Milly asked her.
"Oh no worries about that we managed to get someone," Shirley answered.
"Really, who'd you get?" Nina asked her.
"Emmina Ishida," Shriley responded. Everyone besides Kallen and I seemed impressed…mostly because I'd never heard of this Emmina Ishida. The same probably went for Kallen.
"Oh yeah I've heard of her, isn't she the second woman to swim the entire Britannian Capital Channel?" Rivalz asked.
"That's her," Shirley answered.
"Well someone with that skill and ability should really boost the team's morale. Is she going to give a demonstration?" I asked.
"Yup and her life's story," Shirley answered.
"Right then, if that's taken care of onto the next important subject…"
After the meeting I went over to the shade of a tree and whipped out my phone. Let's see if my Chessmaster Diary is as good it should be. I scrolled through it. Ah here we are 13:45, find Yukiteru Amano and Yuno Gasai getting a hotdog. "Ok so what happens if I don't encounter them then," the diary changed. 17:45, Find Yukiteru Amano and Yuno Gasai as we pass each other after my last class. I shut my phone, "Be safer if I went after them now then."
Yukiteru's pov
Yuno and I were walking together. I wanted to get something to eat and Yuno really didn't want to get anything from the cafeteria. So I figured we'd get from the hotdog stand down the way. I approached the vendor. "Two please," He gave us our hotdogs and I paid for both Yuno and me and handed her hers.
"Thanks Yuki," she said. We sat down on a bench. "Isn't this nice," she said, "Just the two of us eating out in the nice warm weather."
"Er…yeah," I answered taking a bite of my hotdog.
"Hello there," A voice called out from behind us both. I nearly choked. I swallowed and turned my head around. There was a guy standing behind the bench, approaching us from the nearest tree. He had black hair, purple eyes and was dressed in a school uniform.
"U-Um…w-who are…"
"My name is Lelouch Lamperouge, your student council vice-president," he stated with a smile.
"Ah seriously the vice-president," I never thought the vice-president would want to talk to someone like me.
I saw Yuno's expression she looked rather tense. "And just what does the Vice President want with us?"
"Hey calm down there," he told Yuno. "I was looking at the student records for students who haven't joined clubs yet. You're Yukiteru Amano and Yuno Gasai right?"
He knows who we are. I know he's the Student Council Vice President, my eyes darted around the area, but it's a little convenient that he found us like this. Is he…one of the diary holders?
"Sorry, but we're not interested in joining any clubs right Yuki?" Yuno asked me.
"Both of you should know that it's school policy that all students have to be part of at least one student club right?" he asked.
"Huh?" apparently Yuno didn't know that. I did though. If Lelouch was really a diary holder then he probably suspected us as such. If that's the case then he's going to ask us…
"We'd like to join the student council," I said.
"Yuki!" Yuno was shocked.
"Excellent, we've got a meeting later this afternoon after classes are over. Drop by our club's house," Lelouch told us and then walked away, "See ya."
He didn't confirm or deny that that's what he wanted us to do, but I still can't shake this feeling.
"Yuki why did you do that?" Yuno asked me.
"Well we have to join at least one club," I said, scratching my head.
"But even you should suspect that that guy's probably a diary holder right?" she asked. "We could be walking right into a trap. If we're on his territory we have to play by his rules and his terms."
"Yeah, finding us like this was way too convenient, he probably already suspects us as such," I said.
"Then let's follow him and get rid of him," Yuno rose from her seat.
"Hold on a second," I told her, "We can't just go murdering the Vice President without any evidence. And besides joining the student council could give us an advantage. Remember what Lelouch said he found us by running a search of students that hadn't joined clubs. If we play our cards right, if it turns out he's a diary holder we could turn him into an ally, or we could track and locate and see if any of the other students are diary holders," I theorized.
Yuno beamed, "That's brilliant!" She hugged me, "You're so smart Yuki!"
Later that day Yuno and I made our way to the student council building. We were on our toes, not knowing what could happen. When we walked in streamers and confetti went everywhere and we were given a loud, "WELCOME!"
"Nice to meet you both," a student with blond hair came up to us, "I'm Milly Ashford your student council president," she shook my hand and Yuno's, "If either of you have any problems just come and talk to me."
A shy girl with green hair and glasses was the next to introduce herself, "I'm Nina Einstein, your student council secretariat."
Then there was a guy with blue hair who came up and shook both our hands, "Rivalz Cardemonde, student council treasurer, nice to meet you guys," he said. He looked back to where Lelouch was standing, "You sure picked some good looking candidates Lelouch."
"Well I do try," Lelouch praised himself.
"So then who are the rest of you?" I asked.
"Oh they're just average run of the mill members," Lelouch stated. He gestured to a girl with orange hair and olive eyes, "Shirley Fennette,"
"Hiya!" she waved.
"Kallen Stadtfeld, our newest member before the two of you," he gestured to a girl with red hair.
She bowed, "a pleasure to meet you both."
He then gestured to a blind girl in a wheelchair, "And Nunnally Lamperouge my younger sister."
He has a younger sister? I was amazed.
Lelouch went behind the wheelchair and moved Nunnally forward towards us. She reached her hands out to us. "A pleasure to meet you both Mr. Yukiteru, Miss Yuno."
"Yeah same here," I said. She's so fragile. If Lelouch is really a diary holder, can I really take this girl's brother from her like that? She's crippled and blind.
Lelouch's pov
Excellent, I can see it in his eyes, I smirked internally, If my suspicions are correct then Yukiteru knew I was going to ask him to join the student council because he suspected that I suspected he was a diary holder and therefore suspects me of one as well, but I read up on my enemies. Now that he's see Nunnally he'd think twice before coming after me with a sharp object.
Yuno's pov
So Lelouch has a little sister. She might just be his Achilles Heel. If we find out Lelouch is a diary holder we can use Nunnally as a lure to draw him out or threaten her if he doesn't commit suicide or break his phone. Hooray!
Cornelia's pov
I was sitting in my office filling out paperwork when there was a knock on my door. "Come in," I said. A man with short orange hair stepped into the room.
"Kewell Soresi," he saluted, "you wanted to see me your highness."
Perfect timing, I stood up, "Yes I wanted to talk to you about the report you filled out. You said that you encountered Zero at the stadium and that he ambushed you, Gottwald and Nu and that the other men in your platoon were all spies for Zero."
"Your highness, I documented everything as it was. I told no falsehoods," he promised.
"So you say," I said. I pointed my gun at him.
"V-Viceroy?"
"Do not take me for a fool Soresi," I told him, "I did some investigating before calling for you. Zero was never at the stadium and there were only signs of 6 sutherlands at the site. Yours, your men's, Gottwald's and Nu's. I don't take kindly to soldiers who slaughter other soldiers because of lackadaisical suspicion. I read about the incident with Kururugi. So Gottwald screwed up and made sure the prisoner escaped not wanting some past history he had with my enemy to be revealed. We've all got secrets we'd like to keep Soresi, did you ever think we could've forced the information out of Gottwald if we asked him?"
"Um…well…"
"That was a rhetorical question," I said, loading the gun and putting slight pressure on the trigger, "You didn't think. You took matters into your own hands. Everything should've been left to me." I told him. "If anyone should now be suspected of working with Zero, it's you." I told him.
"V-viceroy, p-please wait, I-I have a younger sister a-and…"
"You should've thought of that before you decided to overstep your boundaries as a soldier."
BANG!
Yukiteru's pov
I was lying on my bed looking at my phone when there was a knock on my door. I went to look to see who it was through the peephole, it was Yuno. I let her in. "You need something?" I asked her.
"Just to talk," she said. She went over to my desk and sat down on the chair.
"What about?" I asked.
"Lelouch, what else?" Yuno asked me.
"Um…necessity?" I asked. We still couldn't be sure if Lelouch was a diary holder or not.
"Even if Lelouch isn't a diary holder, I think I know his ultimate weakness," Yuno said with a smile.
"Wait, you're not seriously thinking about using Nunnally to get to Lelouch are you?" I asked.
"Of course, a crippled blind girl could only act as a crutch to Lelouch. We can use her to force his hand if we try," she said.
"No," I shook my head. "Out of the question."
"Why not?" Yuno whined.
"I'm not taking an innocent life Yuno. I don't want that girl involved in this at all! If you touch a single hair on Nunnally it'll be the end of our partnership," I told her.
"Yuki do you have some sort of emotional attachment to that girl?" she asked me.
"What? No!" I shook my head, "I just think she's too innocent to be put into this is all. Besides what if we're wrong? We don't have enough information Yuno. Don't do it!" I told her.
"Don't you want to inherit the throne of God Yuki?" Yuno asked me.
"I just want to survive this stupid game!" I shouted.
"I see," Yuno got up out of the chair and walked towards my door.
"Yuno?"
She turned her head towards me and smiled, "I'll see you later Yuki-kun," she shut the door behind her.
3rd Person pov
Lelouch and Nunnally were eating dinner together when the doorbell rang. "I'll get it." Lelouch announced. He went to the front door.
"Hi Vice-President!" A smiling Yuno beamed, "Do you mind if I come in?"
To be continued…
(A/N: Yeah definitely a little short in comparison to other chapters, but my inspiration is shot at the moment, besides I want to leave you guys hanging on a string MWAHAHA! Ahem, anyway, I'll see you all later)
