Chapter 4

"What do you mean it's gone?" Kallen snapped, while staring at a very calm C.C.

Sighing, C.C turned away from the girl. "It's simple. The injury no longer exists. I'm surprised that even you can't wrap your head around that."

"Why you…"

Ignoring the now angry Kallen, C.C turned to look at Milly. "Did you contact Dmitri like I told you to?"

Milly nodded and handed C.C back the phone that she had taken out of her pocket. "I sure did…although…. I don't know what you see in a guy like that C.C."

C.C raised an eyebrow. "Please explain."

Before Milly could reply, Rivalz shot forward looking quite peeved about something. "He hung up! Milly was going to explain to him on what was going on, but he hung up right after she told him that Euphemia was missing!"

Zero, who was standing on the far side of the room, finally came forward and knelt down in front of C.C. "C.C, you know this Dmitri far better than the rest of us….are you confident that he will come?"

Blinking at him slowly, C.C nodded after a few minutes. "He will come because he loves Euphemia with all his heart. I think the phone call and the news that his daughter is missing just threw him a little off the edge."

"….A little…? C.C this guy obviously doesn't care and he's not coming!" Rivalz exclaimed.

Narrowing her eyes, C.C glared at him angrily. "I believe I know my husband far better than you do."

Milly lowered her eyes a little. "C.C…we are sorry if we doubt your husband, but…we just can't get over the fact that he would automatically hang up when he receives news that his daughter is missing!"

Zero blinked as realization suddenly dawned on him as he remembered what C.C's daughter looked like. Her purple eyes had burned into him…reminding him of a certain someone… "This Dmitri isn't Euphie's real father…is he?"

Kallen took an involuntary intake of air as she turned to stare at C.C, who was now slowly combing through her hair. "What do you mean, Zero?" Kallen asked stiffly, since C.C was obviously ignoring him.

"C.C…Lelouch is Euphemia's father, isn't he?"

Only Zero caught how C.C stiffened slightly, before she turned to look at him. "Now why would you suggest that?"

"Her eyes….I've only seen one person in this world with such striking purple eyes and that was Lelouch…not to mention the way she holds herself. She looks like a four year old Lelouch with green hair and more girlish features."

Kallen stared at C.C with wide eyes. "C.C…is it true? Is…Is Euphemia's father really Lelouch…?"

Slowly looking at the girl, C.C didn't give anything away. "If she was, then that would mean I would have been pregnant before his death. He has been dead for four years correct? Euphemia four, give or take a few months."

Milly sighed slowly, and looked away. "So that settles it…Lelouch did have a child before he left this world."

Watching them, C.C couldn't help but feel a smidge guilty. Here she was, the only one in the room who knew the whole truth. Lelouch was still in fact very much alive and immortal now…though she'd keep that to herself for now. "Dmitri should be here later tonight. I trust that you all will cooperate with him when he arrives."

Zero, Milly, and Rivalz all nodded, but Kallen only glared at C.C, who returned the look but added a comment. "I know you marvel at my beauty, but I think you are going a bit too far. I am married with a child I hope you know."

Yelling in frustration, Kallen threw her hands up in the air and stormed out of the room, yelling over her shoulder. "I don't care who this Dmitri is! I refuse to cooperate with him! The only one I follow is Zero!" A door slammed shut behind her, echoing down the hall.

Zero sighed, shaking his head and staring at the floor. "This Dmitri…is he good at dealing with terrorists?"

The thought crossed her mind to blurt out that he used to be one, but she decided not too because she knew if she did they would press her into telling them. So instead she would tell the other side of the truth without completely revealing who Dmitri really was. "Of course…he does after all take down terrorist sites as his job."

Milly's eyes widened. "Say what? Do you think he's taken down that one anti site you and Nunnally showed us yesterday, Zero?"

Before Zero could reply, Rivalz shook his head. "No, I checked it just a while ago. It's still up."

The door opened and Nunnally wheeled herself in, and instantly she relaxed seeing C.C awake. "Thank goodness you're awake. You gave us quite the scare yesterday C.C when you came back with your shoulder bleeding."

Smiling warmly at Nunnally, C.C faced her. "I'm sorry if I worried you. I didn't mean to."

"Oh, no it's all right. Even I need to be worried sometimes."

Milly who was still very shocked of finding out that Euphemia's real father was Lelouch and decided to tell Nunnally. "Nunnally…Zero just discovered something that is shocking. Euphemia is Lelouch's daughter."

Nunnally looked at Milly in amazement and shock. "…What?"

"Apparently, before he was killed he got C.C pregnant….most likely knowing him a few good months before he was killed, which might explain why C.C wasn't there, because Lelouch wanted to protect the child."

"Then who is Dmitri?"

They all turned to look at C.C, who already had a believable explanation ready for them. "He is a man that I met after Euphemia was born, and he agreed to help me raise her in place of Lelouch. He believes that every child should grow up with a father." As she finished speaking her phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, she smiled and then looked at the others. "It's Dmitri."

Nunnally watched as C.C as she spoke on the phone with Dmitri out of hearing distance. Turning to Milly, she raised her eyebrows. "Something fishy is going on…."

Milly nodded, agreeing. "You're right there Nunnally…but what? What do you think, Zero?"

"I…I don't know."

"Zero what is wrong with you lately? You haven't been acting normal…."

A strangled noise forced its way out of Zero's throat. "I…regret killing Lelouch…"

Milly gasped loudly and Nunnally only lowered her eyes. "…Wha-? Zero I know it must be hard listening to us talking about him now four years afterwards, but the entire world is grateful for what you did! If you had not killed Lelouch four years ago, we would probably still be ruling under bloodshed."

"I know…however, I still regret it."

C.C came back towards them, her face vacant of any emotion like usual. "Dmitri said he would be here within two hours. He said he's seen reports that these White Knights are starting to act now, so he has to map out his route to get here safely since he's Britannian."

Rivalz, having been silent throughout the private conversation, sighed uneasily. "I still don't know about this guy….maybe once we see him I'll know how to properly interpret his actions."

Turning towards him, C.C narrowed her eyes. "You truly believe that once you see him, you'll be able to understand his actions?"

"Of course, his actions will reveal what kind of man he is."

"Don't make me remind you all that none of you suspected that Lelouch was Zero during the Black Rebellion five almost six years ago." C.C snapped, a little angry at the moment. "I would suggest you start trusting him now before he arrives….or else he might not help you."

Nunnally looked away from C.C for a moment, before locking eyes with her. "How long will it take him to get here?"

"Just under three hours. He-"C.C trailed off as Gino came running into the room.

"Zero…!"

Zero's head jerked up at how much Gino sounded worried. Truly worried… "What is it?"

"You know how you told me, Tamaki, and Ougi to go out into the city to try and find C.C's little girl?" When Zero nodded, Gino continued. "Well…we found her."

C.C's eyes lit up as she turned to look at Gino, but she narrowed her eyes when she saw how worried and horrified he looked at the moment. Zero put a hand on C.C's shoulder and squeezed gently. "Tell us Gino…"

"The terrorists have her…and Tamaki overheard their conversation." Taking a deep breath, Gino closed his eyes. "They are starting their plans today, Zero. They are starting at the entrance to the city, and they are going to kill any Britannians."

Milly's eyes widened as she turned to look at C.C. "Is…Dmitri a…"

"Yes. He's a Britannian."

Nunnally gasped slightly, a hand flying to her mouth. "How is he going to get past them alive then? He'll be killed!"

C.C lowered her eyes, not knowing how to answer. So…Euphie is with them. My poor child…she must be terrified…if only there was a way to bring back those who have been sent to the World of C, then I would be bringing back Mao and begging him to aid Lelouch…

~With Lelouch~

Staring at himself in the mirror as he situated the wig on top of his head, he sighed. So my daughter is somewhere in Tokyo, C.C is with my old friends apparently, and now I have to make sure my cover isn't blown…tricky, but not impossible. Grabbing the contacts from a container, he put them on his eyes and blinked the blurry spots away. Now he appeared to have dark burgundy hair a little longer than his natural hair length, and dark gray eyes. I made these contacts specifically for my Dmitri disguise, and they do not hinder the use of Geass…or at least, they aren't supposed to. Raising his hand in a similar manner that he used to do when about to use his geass in the past, he glared at his reflection in the mirror.

"This is not how I was expecting this day to go…" He whispered softly. Leaving the bathroom, he grabbed the keys to his car and left the house. Staring at the sky, he saw that the sun was close to setting, and he narrowed his eyes. Climbing into his car, he put it into drive and started speeding towards Tokyo.

Though once he arrived to the entrance of the city he once called home, he saw men wearing white uniforms similar to that of the Black Knights…and they were all holding guns as they inspected the people entering the city. Hmm…this must be those White Knights that site was talking about…

He blinked calmly as he saw a group of seven of them walking towards his car, but something else caught his attention. He saw a man, a good thirty feet away, giving the orders…but beside him was a cage. His eyes widened in anger as he recognized the child in that cage.

EUPHEMIA!

Alright review! Another cliffy! If you couldn't tell by that last line, Lelouch is obviously very, very, very, very angry. If you want to have a visual on what his voice would sound like while yelling that name in his head, refer to episode one of R2 when Lelouch gets his memories back and he says something like "Yes…that's your answer isn't it? …Suzaku!" Anyways, review and I shall update…hopefully faster this time .
