L.K.: Chappie four! I'm rolling right along with this one!
Shooting Star
Lelouch must've apologized…fourteen, no sixteen times before Kallen forgave him for publicly humiliating her like that.
"So….are we ok then??" he pleaded. Kallen held the scorn on her face tightly.
"Fine, but no more pervy business, you got that?" she commanded.
"I understand." He said feeling relieved.
As they sat alone in the Student Council room, the television news suddenly came flashing on.
"Breaking News! The Emperor is back early from his month long vacation! He has ordered an immediate hunt for three people, all linked to the Black Knights!"
The screen changed to three pictures of random Knights. Both Lelouch and Kallen's jaws dropped.
'Oh shiiit!!' was the only thing running through both of their minds.
"Hey, Lulu…I uhh…I need to go home. I don't' feel so well!" she faked.
"O-okay, want me to drive you?" he offered.
"N-no, I'll get a ride from my mom!" she yelled back to him as she took off running.
'Good, at least she knows when to be on call.' Lelouch thought as he also ran for his room inside the school. Upon reaching his room he was out of breath. So instead of calling immediately he packed in Zero outfit to gain time.
Once able to talk properly he grabbed his special cell phone and gave the command that all Black Knights were to assemble at the hideout.
Making his way outside on his way to his motorcycle, Shirley spotted him.
"Oh hey Lulu! I need a word with you!" she pouted.
"Not now Shirley, I've got an errand to run!" he said as he flew passed her and mounted his motorcycle.
Ignoring her further protests for him to wait, he sped off towards the hide out. Ditching his bike a block away from the hideout he ran for the closed off area where he changed into his uniform.
Kallen had done the same, except she changed inside the hideout.
"Everyone take position X!" Zero commanded.
"Yes sir Zero-Sama!" they all shouted as they jumped into position.
Kallen ran for the Guren the moment Zero gave the command. Putting the key in the latch, she powered up the Guren.
"Hey Rakshata! What's this lever do?" Kallen asked as she noticed a new piece in the Guren.
"Oh, that thing? It's just my new Zap Cannon! It fires a powerful wave of electricity, disabling any electric powered machine it comes into contact with. It's infused with the Gefion Disturber waves." Rakshata said slyly as she lit her pipe.
"Alright Master Zero, I'm in position." Kallen called in.
"Good, wait on standby until I give the order to attack!" Zero's voice commanded her over the Guren's speakers.
"Yes sir!" she said as she waited patiently. Suddenly her screen flipped on and up came a map with all the enemy targets marked. There weren't very many but too many for her to handle on her own. Thankfully there were plenty of Knightmare Frames on their side.
"Kallen, attack to you right!" Zero's voice suddenly boomed inside the Guren.
"Hai!" Kallen yelled, her voice filled with power and determination as she fired the usual gunnery to her immediate right. She took out three or so enemy Knightmare Frames.
"One behind you!" Zero informed her and Kallen used the special right arm to repel and destroy the enemy.
"Alright, everyone advance on the enemy ahead!" he commanded. They all headed straight ahead and the battle waged on.
"Kallen! I need your help, I'm surrounded!" Zero called out to her.
"I'm on my way!" she responded as she flew at max speed towards her master.
Successfully destroying all of the enemies near Zero's Knightmare, he thanked her and she inwardly applauded herself. She didn't know why, but she loved it when Zero ordered her around. His voice always filled with such pride and command.
Finally the enemy they'd been waiting for appeared, Lancelot. Suzaku and Kallen were immediately engaged in combat. As the fight between the two went on, Kallen was forced to fire the Zap Cannon in order to disable the Lancelot. But Zero's Knightmare was accidentally caught up in the blast and wound up disabling his Knightmare as well as Suzaku's who's fell to the ocean.
"Zero-Sama!" Kallen cried out as she dove down at top speed to reach him. From Lelouch's point of view, Kallen flying at the speed reminded him of a shooting star.
Lelouch used the escape hatch and launched himself of his Knightmare and Kallen caught his capsule. Lifting the cell up to the back of the Guren and opening her hatch to let Zero inside he obliged.
Once inside the Guren Zero sat behind Kallen on the seat.
"Good job Kallen." He congratulated her fast thinking.
"Is that sarcasm for me hitting you with my cannon or was that honest?" she asked, half hurt.
"No, I know it was an accident. You're an amazing pilot, now please keep fighting." He said as he patted her shoulder.
Kallen smiled as Zero reached for her radio and continued to give out instructions while Kallen fought off another wave of enemies.
"Kallen incoming to the right!" he pointed to the screen and Kallen obeyed.
Kallen's fighting spirit went through the roof the more Zero ordered her to push on. Seeing Kallen so fierce in person was inspiring.
"Kallen, you're amazing!" he said in sheer awe as she took out seven enemies at once.
"Zero..that means a lot coming from you." She turned to face him and smiled.
Soon the Black Knights had won the battle and returned to base victorious. Kallen landed the Guren and opened the hatch, letting Zero and herself out.
"Zero, you've got some amazing commanding skills!" said some Knights.
"Yeah, we would've never of won without you and Kallen here!" another shouted.
Kallen smiled one of the biggest smiles Lelouch had ever seen.
"Well done Kallen, you did great as always. Come see me in the secret meeting room in five minutes." Zero commanded. Kallen bowed and agreed.
XxXxX
Once inside the room, she sat down on the couch across from where Zero was sitting.
"Yes, what did you want Zero-Sama?" Kallen asked as she crossed her legs.
Only God knew how Kallen knew how to turn him on just by staring at him so intently.
"Kallen, today..do you know what you looked like out there today?" he asked as his finger interlaces with each other through the gloves.
"N-no…" her determined face turned to one of confusions and worry.
'Like a gladiator..a shining warrior Goddess..' he thought as his eyes went from her perky chest to her long, slender legs.
"You reminded me of a shooting star…flying across the sky." He stood up and advanced on her.
"A bright.." he leaned over her with his hands on both sides of the couch above her shoulders.
"..shining…" his masked face hovered just inches above her head.
"…star." He finished as he straightened up and sat beside her.
Kallen's breath stopped in her throat. That had to be the most beautiful and poetic thing anyone had ever told her. Way better than the crumby love letter Lelouch gave her.
Lelouch…..
"Kallen, I love you!" he cried out as he wrapped one arm around her shoulder and held her hand with the other.
Kallen's bright blue eyes went wide with surprise and delight.
'Zero-Sama…loves me?' her thoughts matched her eyes.
"I've noticed you when you fight."
"I've noticed you in class.."
"I can't take it anymore, from the way you pilot the Guren, to the way you fight your enemies!"
"From the way you smile to the way you wear your hair!"
"I've been entranced by your determination since you joined the Black Knights!"
"I've been enchanted by your beauty since the new school year!"
"I get scared and worried when you're struck in combat…"
"I'm always worried and sad when you miss classes because of your illnesses.."
"I don't know your feelings for me since we rarely get to talk. But I hope you acknowledge my affections for you."
"I don't know your feelings for me since we rarely get to talk. But I hope you acknowledge my affections for you."
Kallen had a sudden feeling of déjà vu…
"Z-zero-Sama! Are you serious!" she exclaimed.
"Yes, I love you more than anything in this world!" he said taking her other hand as well.
"I love you too Zero!" she said as she hugged him tightly.
He returned her embrace and wrapped one arm around her waist and the other behind her head.
"Zero-Sama..there's something I have to tell you…no ask of you." She said as he grip on him loosened.
"What's the matter Kallen?" he asked, obvious worry in his synthetic voice.
"I am to be…married soon…to a man I did not choose." She confessed as the tears began to gather at the edge of her eyes. He held her tighter and stroked her hair.
"You mean like an arranged marriage?" he asked.
"Yes.." she mumbled.
She buried her face in her hands and let a small sob erupt from her quivering mouth. He shifted so that she was practically sitting on his lap.
"So what did you want to as of me?" he asked as his hands stroked her back.
"I want to lose my virginity to someone who I know I love." She began. Zero's hands stopped all movement and his head tilted sideways in the cutesy manner that she's always loved so much.
"Zero, I love you……will you make love to me?" she pleaded with tearful eyes.
Lelouch's hands fell to his sides, unable to say anything in this moment, he froze.
"Yes." Was all he could muster out.
"Let's turn off the lights then," she said as she reached up and flipped off the light switch.

As soon as the lights were out, Zero removed his mask and tore down the cloth that covered his mouth and nose. Kallen's lips immediately found his and for the second time in her life she tasted true love again.
She yanked away his cloak and unbuttoning his jacket as he unbuttoned her chest guard and tossed it across the room. Tearing at her shirt they broke the kiss long enough to pull of each other's shirts. As soon as the garments were gone they were attacking each other again.
Pulling her skirt down, Zero pulled her up to discard the cloth. Her hands went for his pants and immediately began to undo the belt, button and zipper. He reached behind her and undid her bra clasp, taking off the last piece of clothing covering her chest.
She tugged his pants down and he kicked them off, socks, shoes and all. She followed suit and skillfully used the other foot to take of each shoe.
His mouth traveled from her's to along her jaw line. She moaned into his ear. She grabbed at his boxers and was about to pull them down. She stopped herself out of fear.
She soon realized that she's about to lose her virginity.
"Zero, will you please be gentle, it is my first time." She whispered as she nuzzled his neck.
"Of course, Kallen." He whispered back into her ear.
His breath made the hair on her neck stand up and her back laced with goose bumps. Her hands went back to his boxers and felt the bulge growing inside of them. She rubbed it lightly and he let out a moan. As she massaged him, his hands went to her breasts.
With one hand, he used his thumb to rub her sensitive nipple. While the other trailed down her naked belly to her panty line. Using one finger to brush against the sensitive area she stifled a soft groan.
His tongue went from the outer ridge of her ear to the inside. She made little red marks down his neck with a slight graze of her teeth. She decided that she wanted to drive him crazy so she began to run him a bit harder and faster. His moans increased in volume and he automatically pushed his finger against her clit harder.
It was her turn to let out a pleased moan and one of her legs wrapped around his. Pulling him down closer to her and pressing his covered erection against her already wet crotch sent shivers down her spine.
Not able to take it any longer, Lelouch straddled her on his lap and removed her thin, lace panties. Kallen desperately reached for the hem of his boxers and tugged then down, freeing his hard erection. Grabbing his length with one hand, she began to feel and rub it like before.
Lelouch groaned in his throat and pinned her down to the couch. He supported his weight with one arm bent at the elbow on one side of her head. Kallen wrapped the other leg around him, ready for what she knew was to come.
He positioned himself to align with her and pushed down. His tip touching her sensitive and wet opening he pushed the tip inside.
"Nng!" she stifled her painful moan by biting his neck.
As he pushed the rest of the way inside of her Kallen let out a scream of pain. Staying as still as possible he wiped away the tears that began to fall from her eyes.
"I'm sorry, was that too sudden?" he asked sweetly.
"N-no..it just..hurt.." she panted.
She had no idea why, but she though he sounded like Lelouch at first. She chalked it up to being in slight shock and highly aroused and ignored it.
She gave him the good to go and he pulled out some. He used his hips to thrust back in slowly and Kallen choked back another sob as the sharp pain continued. Using a slow rhythm, Kallen's pain slowly ebbed into pleasure.
Soon she was arching her back and clawing at his neck. He used his fingers to pinch and rub her hardened nipples. She moaned, panted and begged for him to go harder and faster.
"Oh! Zero!" she hitched her voice with every thrust her pounded into her.
"K-kallen!" he moaned into her ear.
Her hands ran through his hair as the feelings intensified and he made a trail of licks and kises down her neck and around her collar bone. Her pants became louder and increased in volume as he began a faster pace.
"Y-you..know what I..said about…begin…gentle…?" she asked between moans and pants.
"Y..yeah.." he answered with a hoarse voice.
"Forget it!" she commanded.
He bit down on her neck and it sent little bubbles like champagne down her back.
"Give it to me Zero!" she begged as her nails made red marks down his back.
He obliged and gave her all he had. Her toes felt like they were being electrified, her skin burned with sweat, her back arched and ached with every thrust and her hips had a mind of their own to push back against Zero's.
Soon her body reeled with pleasure and she couldn't take it anymore.
"Z-ZERO!!" she cried out as her orgasm hit her like nothing she'd ever felt before.
"Kallen!" Zero moaned loudly as he came as well.
He spilled his hot seed inside of her body and collapsed on top of her. Gasping for breath, Lelouch was never one for exercise…sex included.
'I should really work out more!' he mentally slapped himself.

Rolling off of her, he sat up. She continued to lay there, still trying to catch her breath.
"That was..amazing, Zero!" she said happily as she struggled to sit up and hug him.
He chuckled as he laid an arm around her waist as she laid on him.
"Kallen, I think it's best if we got out of here and went home." He said as he finally caught his breath.
"Okay…" she whispered as she stood up.
"Oh shit…" he grumbled.
"What?" she asked a bit panic stricken.
"I can't get dressed in the dark, especially in that outfit…" he sighed.
She laughed and fell back on the couch. "Well maybe you should've picked a less…extravagant outfit." She teased.
"Right right…everyone knows the super hero always wears a cape and mask." He said half serious half sarcastic.
"Alright, I promise not to turn around if you want to turn on the lights." She giggled.
"Deal." He said as he fumbled around the wall for the switch.
"Damn I wish we had a clapper installed." He huffed as he finally found the switch.
"Zero, you're funny." She said as she laughed.
"..and you're hot." He said as he examined her body in the light.
Kallen blushed madly as she realized that just because she can't see him doesn't mean that he can't see her.
"Oh just get dressed before I change my mind and peek." She teased again.
"Okay, okay, okay!" he said in a silly voice. Kallen laughed even harder.
After he was fully dressed again, she was allowed to turn around. Pouting that she never got to see him naked, she gathered her own cloths and allowed him to watch as she got dressed.
"I'm going to go home now okay." She said almost sadly.
"I know it's dangerous, but do you want me to walk you? I mean it's rather dark outside." He offered.
"Are you sure? I mean..didn't you say that you have a sick little sister at home?" he asked concerned.
"Yes, but we have a maid, so she'll be alright without me for a while." He explained.
He linked arms with her and they walked out of the hideout together with Kallen smiling brightly.
Once out in the streets, Zero began to lead her in a direction not of her house.
"Where are we going?" she asked, not recognizing the area.
"Oh I'm sorry, I'm afraid I don't know where you live." He confessed. Lelouch really didn't know where Kallen lived. To think he'd even tried to drive her home the night before too.
"Well..I don't' have to go straight home, my old man doesn't care what time I come home." She said as she snuggled into him.
Lelouch suddenly felt badly for not telling Kallen about himself. It was just a sudden pang of guilt that stung at him.
"Alright then, wanna go somewhere I go a lot to just think?" he asked as he tugged her along.
"I'd love to!" she chided.
After a few more minutes of walking and just chatting, they reached the Citizen's Park.
"So you come here a lot?" she asked amazed that he'd even show his face in public.
"Yes, but not lately. I've been too busy with being Zero, planning for the Black Knights and school." He said as they walked by some sakura trees.
"You go to school!?" she asked astounded that he was so young.
"Yes, I'm only seventeen Kallen." He chuckled again.
"No way! I thought you were at least twenty!" she exclaimed as her eyes went wide.
"Yeah, I go to a normal high school with normal friends and normal everyday duties." He told her.
The redhead moved her hands from the length of his arm down to his hands. Gripping his left hand tightly she clung to him.
"My school is involved with other schools all the time, I wonder if we've ever met before!" she wondered.
"…hm….maybe.." he mumbled.
"Wow, the cherry blossoms are so pretty in just the moonlight!" she noted as they walked underneath one that filtered the moonlight between its flower petals.
Coming to a halt, Zero looked up. The wind blew down a small, pink, petal and it landed on his mask. But as soon as it landed, the wind blew it away again.
"Kallen, about this guy you're marrying…." He began.
"What about him?" she asked as she gripped his hand tighter.
"What's he like? I mean do you like him too?" he asked, mostly curious to know how she really felt about him, not just his alter ego, Zero.
Kallen gulped, she wondered if she should tell Zero Lelouch's name. Maybe he'd recognize it as a Prince's name and he's target him just to be with Kallen and write it off as he was a threat.
"uhh…he's..okay..I guess." She spat out a little harshly.
"Don't like him do you, huh?" he teased even though it kind of hurt.
"Well he's not all bad. He has his..nicer moments. But, he's too high class for me, and he's a pervert if you ask me!" she sneered.
"Ouch! You must really not like him." He commented.
"But I just said…look. Lelouch is nice, handsome and..well just plain popular with the ladies. But he's not really my type. I crave action and adventure, but he's all prim and proper and can't run half a foot without falling to the floor half dead. Gog only knows if he can even have sex like you do!" Kallen let some of her rage out.
Zero burst out into laughter as he had just proven her dead wrong only minutes ago.
"Yeah yeah, what's so funny?" she asked arching her brow.
"You're engaged to Lelouch Lamprouge? The exiled Prince of Brittania?" he choked out.
'Oh no! Lulu I could just quite possibly of gotten you killed!' Kallen panicked and ducked her head down and sunk to her knees.
"Wh-what's the matter?" he bent down and put a hand on her shoulder.
"Y-you won't…kill him will you? Please don't..he's done nothing wrong and…he doesn't deser-"
"It's alright, I won't touch him, I promise." He assured her.
She looked up at him half surprised and smiled. "Thank you." She whispered.
They went over to the grass and sat down on the damp ground.
"So…how do you even know about Lelouch?" she asked perplexed.
"Well, let's just say for your sake, that I've researched my enemies very well." He said as he plucked a daisy from the ground and twiddled it between his index finger and thumb.
"So…he is your enemy then." She stated.
"Only if he acts on his crown. By that I mean if he tries to stand in my way, only then is he an obstacle." He informed her.
"Oh, well I don't really think that Lulu wants to take over the world." She giggled.
'Oh how you have no idea…'
"Well, let's change the subject shall we?" he said as he laid down with his arms folded behind his head. Kallen followed suit but rested her hands on her stomach.
"You said you're only seventeen, were you a virgin before tonight." She asked as she spotted a firefly.
"Yes, but it hardly matters with a guy." He smirked underneath his mask.
"Hey! In my school play..I'm playing Cinderella, you should come see it! Since you'll be mixed in with a crowd you should have no problem fitting in and I won't know who you are!" she said excitedly.
"Sure, as long as the army doesn't decide that your acting is an act of terrorism." He made fun of her.
"Why you!" she slapped his belly.
They continued to joke around as Kallen realized just how human Zero actually was. He wasn't a robot or an alien, he was human.
"I wish I could of ended up marrying someone like you Zero…I want to run around in giant robots, scrape my knees and bang my elbows. I don't' want to wear puffy dresses, dance in heels and drink champagne!" she huffed out furiously.
"You really like waking up in the morning realizing that you're going to fight your own country, that your boss is a mysterious shadow, your office can fly and your co workers roped you into a game of strip poker don't you?" he asked as he sat up and tilted his head sideways.
Kallen laughed, at not only how completely true what he said was, but also at his cute posture.
"You're the type of guy I like, Zero. You're brave, powerful….and you know what I want." She said huskily as she turned to face him.
'Am I really that different when I'm Zero?' he thought.
"Zero, let's do it again. Right here on the grass." She crawled over and laid her head on his lap, looking up at the chin of his mask.
"Sorry, not only would you be able to see me, but public nudity is a sexual offence. I don't need 'Registered Sex Offender' added to my rap sheet." He said as he looked down at her and stroked her auburn locks.
She giggled madly at this, she couldn't stand how much he made her laugh.
L.K.: Well that was an unexpected turn of events! Nyahaha! Review please!
