Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or Code Geass…. Well all know this sad, sad fact.

Darkness is the Light
Come Between Us

After the celebration, Kagome had gone to bed at the Headquarters. She had trouble falling asleep though, from all the excitement. Seriously, she was a Black Knight and was going to avenge her family. How great was that? Totally awesome! Anyway, Kagome, for once, didn't have a nightmare that night. Although, she did have a dream.

Kagome was sitting under a tree in her dream. She watched three scenes unfold before her. The first was of the Feudal Era. Shippo was smiling and having fun with Kirara while Sango slapped Miroku for his perverse actions. And Inuyasha as per usual, was sitting in a tree sleeping. She walked up to them and gave them all a hug. This was something she hoped would happen after she avenged her family. Maybe the well wasn't destroyed or at least, hadn't been. Then she could make this happen. That scene faded out and the next one played. This time, Kagome was standing in a corner of her kitchen. Her mother was cooking dinner and Kagome was helping her. They were smiling and joking around. Sota was arguing with Gramps and her cat was chewing on some ancient artifact that her grandpa owned. Though it was probably fake. Another happy moment. Then for the third. She may not have known these people very well, but Kagome already had a lot of friends. The third scene Kagome watched was of her, Suzaku, Lelouch and the rest of student council messing around in the Student Council Clubhouse. Suzaku was getting bit by Arthur, Lelouch was avoiding having to wear a cat costume and the rest were laughing about it. Kagome smiled at the scene.

C.C. watched Kagome while she slept. She was rather peaceful, but one thing caught her eye. Kagome was crying in her sleep. But she wasn't tossing and turning, so it wasn't a nightmare. Must've been her memories of her old life.

"Interesting." And then C.C. left the room. The next morning Kagome woke up with a small smile and dried tears on her cheeks. She could feel the trails they left behind. Rubbing her cheeks, Kagome got up and took a shower. After that, Kagome put on her school uniform and she left her room. She walked to the elevator and got in. A ding signaled that she was on the first floor and Kagome walked out of the hideout. She had her backpack on one shoulder. Kagome started her trek to school on foot all the while thinking about her dream.

I'm not supposed to think about that anymore. If I do, I won't be able to focus on the task ahead. That was her primary thought while walking to school. Ever since she found out about her family being killed, Kagome had completely closed off her heart to the past. It was just too painful for her. She adored her family and now they were gone. Not to mention the fact that she would probably never see Inuyasha and her other friends ever again. Too many memories of her old. Too much pain they hold. And Kagome couldn't handle that. She'd been hurt too much in the past to let herself be hurt in the present too. For once Kagome was going to do something for herself. Even if it cost her, her last breath.

Kagome arrived at school ten minutes before her class was to start. Thank god it was Friday. Then she could just relax for the weekend. Maybe Kagome would ask Milly and Shirley to go out shopping or something. The moment Kagome entered the building; a cat flew past her followed by a group of kids yelling something about a kiss. That's when she saw Suzaku. He stopped running to catch his breath and noticed where she was.

"Oh, hey Kagome." She in turn, tensed. Yesterday she had found out that Suzaku was her enemy. Or at least, now he was. But he didn't know that. And as long as Zero didn't either, than it was okay… right?

"Hi Suzaku. Um what's with the cat?" He laughed.

"Oh that, yea um, Arthur got out again and Milly told the school that whoever caught the cat got a kiss from the student council member of their choice." Kagome nodded. Well that would be useful if she ever got a crush on a student council member. But oh well, Kagome smiled at Suzaku.

"Well that's um, interesting." Didn't those kids know that the way to catch a cat was to be nice to it and not chase it half way across the building? "Okay, so I'm gonna go now. I'll talk to you later Suzaku." And then she left. Suzaku watched her leave for the second time. She was so kind sometimes. Although, she left a lot. Kagome walked down the hallway calmly looking around out of the corners of her eyes. She smirked when she spotted a splotch of grey fur. Kagome knelt down and smiled at the cat.

"Hey come here kitty. It's okay." Arthur proudly walked over to Kagome and jumped into her arms. "Well, looks like I win. Now to take you to the Student Council Clubhouse." Kagome walked down hallway after hallway with the cute cat in her arms. She arrived at the clubhouse and opened the door. Rivalz turned around smiling like an idiot.

"Oh you found him! Great job Kagome!" Milly ran up to Kagome and hugged her, causing Arthur to leap out of her arms and onto a couch. Then she turned on the intercom.

"Students of Ashford Academy! Arthur has been found and the winner is none other than our new student Kagome Higurashi! Student council members out looking for Arthur are asked to report back to the clubhouse for her kiss! Thank you!" Kagome blushed.

"Oh there's no need for a kiss. I just wanted Arthur to be safe in the clubhouse again." Milly shook her head.

"No, no, no. You will get your kiss. And I'm guessing you want it from Suzaku." At that exact moment, Suzaku and Lelouch entered the room. Kagome blushed and looked at the ground. It was true that Suzaku was totally hot, but Kagome honestly didn't think she liked him any more than that. She couldn't have with him being her enemy. It was unthinkable.

"So, we'll leave you and Suzaku alone for a moment. We have things to do anyway." Shirley said kindly. Everyone except for Suzaku and Kagome left the clubhouse.

"You know, you don't have to." Kagome said looking at the couch she was sitting on. Suzaku walked over to her. "It really isn't ne-." He cut her off by kissing her gently on the lips. It wasn't just some stupid kiss either. Honestly, to Kagome, it was everything. There was something behind it she couldn't explain. And when he pulled away, Kagome was speechless. Suzaku blushed and smiled at her.

"Well, we'd better get to class." Kagome nodded her face the color of a baboon's butt. (A/n: You'll notice how stupid that line is… a baboon's butt is blue. Lol.) Suzaku stood up and walked to the door, Kagome following close behind. The moment they opened the door, the two teens were bombarded with questions.

"Oh my gosh! How was it? Did you guys only kiss or make out? Do you guys like each other?" All these questions came from Milly. Kagome and Suzaku smirked and ignored her. They walked away to go to their first class.

{Three Classes Later}

It was lunch time and Kagome was sitting by herself under her favorite oak tree. It was near a fountain so she was pretty calm. Her food was pretty normal, nothing all that special. Basically a gourmet sandwich made with provolone, roast beef, lettuce, tomato and a special sauce. She had chips too, but they were just basic potato chips. The birds were chirping, butterflies flying, a perfect blue sky; all in all, a perfect day. Well that is until you're called off of school for a Knight Mission. Kagome answered her phone with an irritated voice.

"What is it C.C?"

"We need you back at headquarters, now." Kagome hung up and picked up her school bag. She would have to sneak off campus. But how? There were cameras everywhere. Just then she saw Lelouch walking into a door under a bridge. Hmm, maybe she should follow him. Of course if he found her he'd wonder why she was following him, but maybe she would get lucky. So, standing up, Kagome followed behind Lelouch silently. Turns out they were in the underground irrigation system. Jeez Lelouch was smart. After ten minutes of walking through tunnels, Kagome found herself outside school grounds. Well that definitely worked well. She ran off toward the Black Knight hideout making sure no one saw her.

{Ten Minutes Later}

Kagome was sitting with the other unit leaders waiting for Zero to show up. Turns out Kagome was getting her own unit. Her and her unit's job was to make sure that no one found out about geass or C.C. It sounded easy enough.

"Good afternoon fellow rebellions." Kagome looked up to a screen to see Zero looking back at them. "I trust you all made sure no one followed you here."

"Zero, why the sudden meeting?" Ohgi asked confused.

"I wanted to tell you all something. Kagome most of all. As you all know, she is our newest member. But I bet you didn't know this. Kagome Higurashi is my half sister."

{With Suzaku}

Suzaku had been called out of school for an assignment from Cornelia. She wanted him to check out a possible hideout for the Black Knights. So now here he was in the Lancelot looking for any sings of the Black Nights. So far there was nothing, but Cornelia assured him that they were somewhere nearby. Although, is there was anything Suzaku didn't want to do, it was spend his day looking for something that probably wasn't there. He could be in school right now, but he had a duty to fulfill. Just then, his radar went off. A huge mass of red dots showed up and he smirked.

"Well here they are." Time to get started.

{With The Black Knights}

That was totally, one hundred percent, unexpected. Kagome, Zero's half sister? Was that even possible?

"After many hours of research, I found my family tree and Kagome Higurashi is on that tree." Kagome stood up.

"You've got to be kidding Zero. There's no way that's possible." It truly wasn't possible, but apparently it was true. Kagome was his half sister. Well, that was hard to take in.

"I assure you dear sister, it is true. C.C. bring Kagome to my private room so we may discuss her new role in the Black Knights." C.C. nodded and ushered Kagome out of the room. Zero next directed his words to the rest of the unit leaders. "You may return to your duties." They all left, some of them in total shock and speechlessness. Zero turned off the communicator and waited for Kagome's entry.

Kagome followed C.C. to her half brother's private room in silence. So she did have family here after all. That was definitely a load off her back. Now maybe she wouldn't be so upset. They arrived in front of an oak door. It was reinforced with steel for both protection and it acted as a sound proof barrier.

"You can go in now Kagome." C.C said gesturing toward the door. Kagome nodded and opened the door.

"Ahh Kagome, take a seat." Kagome did as she was told and sat in a seat across from Zero on a couch. "So now you know that you are my family. And as such you will now have a very active role in the Black Knights. Also, you also have the right to know my identity, but that is your choice. So which would you like to know first, my true identity or your new role?" Kagome looked at Zero with shock. She would get to know his identity? That was ideal to any Black Knight member. But it would also put tones of stress on her to keep it a secret. Although, it would have been nice to know who her half brother was.

"Zero, I want to know your identity first." Zero nodded and pulled off his helmet. Then he pulled his mask off. Kagome gasped, her half brother was Lelouch. In other words, Lelouch her half brother was Zero. The messiah of Japan.

"So now you know. I am Lelouch, you know me as your friend from school. And now, you know me as your brother and leader. Now for your new role." Lelouch pushed a button on a remote next to him. C.C walked into the room.

"Yes Lelouch?" she asked.

"Kagome, I have a power called geass, as you well know. I want you to have a geass as well. You are now, the Vice Roy of the Black Knights. I will consult you on problems and get your opinion." Kagome looked completely stunned, but she was totally happy. "Now C.C, please give her the power of geass." C.C. nodded and looked at Kagome, Kagome looked back and waited. She had no idea if it would hurt, but none the less, she was anxious. C.C. gave her the power of geass causing a red bird like shape to appear on her forehead. Kagome's eyes blanked and the bird shape appeared in her right eye. She saw images of girl's with that shape on their foreheads and fire. And then it was gone.

"There Kagome, you now have the power of the king. Or in your case we can say queen." And then a huge explosion was heard. Lelouch and Kagome ran out of the room to see the Black Knights running to their nightmares and the Lancelot wreaking havoc.

"Time for battle Kagome. Go to your nightmare, now!" Lelouch yelled running with C.C. to their nightmare. Kagome stared up at the Lancelot with anger. Time for some action.

What will Kagome do now? She's been given a new, higher role. Not to mention we now know why Kagome was familiar to Lelouch. And she has Geass. How much more complicated can things get? Read the next chapter to find out!
