In the end, Q2 just smiled, pushed me back and waved as he left, calling over his shoulder that "He was just having a look," and "I'll see you soon." I ground my teeth together and stormed towards the classroom.

"I'll be joining the student body here at AshfordAcademy." I sighed, another new student, huh. Wouldn't be surprised if it was Q2 in there but he did just walk straight ahead so unless he has teleporting abilities—and who knows—then this must be some one else.

I opened the door just as the new person spoke their name, "My name is Suzaku Kururugi. It's a pleasure to meet you."

I stopped just as the door slammed open. The students all turned to me. I looked at Suzaku whose expression was one of complete surprise. What the hell was he doing here?! Crap. He recognized me. Of course he would. He'd seen me without my hat on! Damn it Euphemia! What did you do?!

"Kylan, please take your seat immediately." The teacher growled, glaring at me.

"Yes sensei, I'm sorry." I said, taking my seat in the back of the class.

The teacher turned to Suzaku and indicated the seat in the back of the class across from me. "Suzaku you can take your seat in the back there."

Suzaku nodded and walked towards the back of the class. The students glared at him as he walked by, whispering amongst themselves.

"What's an Eleven doing here?" a boy in front of me whispered to a girl student beside him.

"He was a suspect in Prince Clovis' murder but the teacher said the charges were dropped." She whispered back. I rolled my eyes and trained my attention towards my desk and papers.

"He was suspicious enough to arrest him right?"

"You don't think he's really a terrorist, do you?"

Out of the corner of my eye I noticed Kallen give Suzaku a sympathetic glance.

"Of course he isn't. The school board would know something like that."

I could hear Rivalz, Nina and Shirley talking about him too. Even the student council was talking in hushed voices directly behind Suzaku.

"An Eleven here at school?" Nina gasped, looking nervous.

"He is an honorary Britannian." Rivalz pointed out, giving Suzaku a skeptical look.

"I know… but still, all the same…"

"Well he doesn't look all that scary to me!" Leave it to Shirley to be the least scared out of all of them. "Hey! Let's go talk to him, I'm sure he—"

Rivalz stopped her by grabbing her wrist and shaking his head at her. "Hey, the guy just got here. Give him some space."

Lelouch got to his feet from his seat and walked towards the class exit. I looked up and followed him with my gaze. Suzaku too looked at him with a strange expression. Lelouch walked towards the door then made a strange gesture, moving his shirt's collar. I saw Suzaku's eyes widen for a moment. Was that some sort of signal? Did Lelouch somehow know Suzaku?

I knew that eavesdropping was rude but I was curious to know of their relationship. I stood up from my seat and left the room. I couldn't see either of them; they must have already walked down either hallway. My soldier instincts kicked in and I assessed the situation. The two must be looking for a secluded place to speak to one another. I figured the most secluded place would be the rooftop. Few go up there during school hours. I quickly walked towards the stairs and climbed up them where I came to a door. I thought it foolish to open the door and peek out. I would surely be caught. Instead, I pressed my ear against the door and strained my ears to hear.

"-I was worried." I heard Suzaku say. I must have missed some of their conversation already.

"Alive and kicking thanks to you. ...You almost died, protecting me." I blinked. So their relationship was that Suzaku had saved Lelouch once?

"I was just returning the favor. From seven years ago." No… they must have known each other way before. Were they childhood friends?

"What about the girl…you know, from the capsule?" Girl…? Capsule? Were they talking about the poison gas? Was…was there a girl inside that capsule originally?! Clovis had never told me anything. I'd just known that a capsule had gone missing containing poisonous gas…was all of that a lie? That capsule that Zero had used… that must be the capsule that once withheld a girl inside of it. Did Lelouch and Suzaku somehow find the capsule and the girl?

"I don't know. We got separated during the fray. But you would know more about her than I do."

"No…" Suzaku's voice was a bit hard to hear but I was able to pick out that only a small section of the military knew about the real capsule.

"I see…" Lelouch answered quietly in response.

"And your name..? Do I still call you Lelouch?" What did he mean, "still call you Lelouch?"

"The records count my old identity among the dead. I go by Lelouch Lamperouge now." Wait. So Lelouch Lamperouge is not his real name? Then… what is his real name?

"Oh…"

"And you, what happened at your court marshal? How did you get enrolled in this school?"

"I'm as surprised as you are! What are the odds that we would end up at the same school? The truth is, someone arranged for me to receive a proper investigation. That person also said that a 17 year old should be in school."

"So… Euphemia had something to do with this. I figured as much." I spoke aloud to myself.

"Eavesdropping I see?"

I turned around in surprise and came face to face with Q2.

"Q2!" I growled, grabbing his hand and dragging him away from the door. I dragged him towards the women's restroom and slammed the door shut behind us.

"So this is what the women's restroom looks like!" Q2 said, looking around.

"Cut the crap." I hissed, glaring at him. "Why are you here?"

Q2 put a hand over my mouth, smirking slightly. "It's quite simple. There is another student here with a Geass."

"What?!" I gasped, surprised. Another student at Ashford has a Geass? Well… things were starting to get interesting. First Suzaku enrolls here then Lelouch isn't really Lelouch and now I have another person at Ashford who could find out my secret.

"Who is it?" I asked Q2. He shrugged.

"I don't have all the answers. All I know is, I saw C2 while I was walking around the campus."

"C2?" I gave Q2 a curious glance.

"Yes. She, like me, can grant someone a Geass power. If she is here that must mean the student with the Geass is here as well."

I narrowed my eyes at Q2. "If you recognized her then she could recognize you. Did she see you?"

Q2 laughed. "Have a little more faith in me! Of course she didn't! She was too busy talking to this pizza delivery guy."

"Pizza delivery guy?" I wrinkled my nose.

"Oi. C2 has a thing for pizza. I never quite understood that." Q2 shrugged and put his hands behind his head nonchalantly.

"Why are you so relaxed? If C2 sees you we're done. She'll know someone else at Ashford besides this mystery student has a Geass. She'll tell that student and then everything is over."

"Not unless he figures out it's you." Q2 pointed out. I sighed.

"So what? We have to be careful. You need to be careful."

"Why only me?"

"Because you are always going off on your own and being ridiculous!" I raved. I've known Q2 for seven years and he hasn't changed at all. He's still the nonchalant loser he's always been. He doesn't take anything seriously, besides the Geass power.

Q2 waved me off. "Don't worry, don't worry. I'll be careful." He walked past me and left the women's restroom. That's when I got a call on my phone. I picked it up immediately.

"This is Y-B speaking." I answered reflexively.

"Y-B? We wanted to inform you that Viceroy Cornelia has taken out one of the rebel strongholds. Zero was, however, not among them."

"Thanks for the update." I gritted my teeth. So Zero was still out there, huh? "Does the Viceroy need my assistance with anything?"

"Viceroy Cornelia would like you to accompany First Knight Guilford to Jeremiah's cell."

"Is he being released?"

"…Yes"

"…Understood." I hung up the phone. If I hurried I might be able to make it to the Britannian base before the teacher caught on that I was missing from class. I quickly darted out of the women's restroom and headed towards the doors to leave Ashford when a familiar figure stepped into my path.

I stopped and looked at Suzaku Kururugi curiously. "…Suzaku right?"

Suzaku gave me a serious look. "Why are you here?"

I feigned surprise. "What do you mean?"

Suzaku's eyes narrowed. "You're the major… I would remember your hair and face. Why do they call you Kylan? Were you assigned to Ashford as well? Princess Euphemia didn't mention that."

I glared at Suzaku. Wonderful, so the jig was up huh? "My name is Kylan Lucian. I am a major in the Britannian military. I am 16 years of age therefore the deceased Viceroy, Clovis, had instructed I were to be educated at AshfordAcademy until I graduate." Suzaku's eyes widened. It looks like I'm going to have to tell him everything…at least everything that includes my position here at Ashford.

I continued mechanically, "Under orders from Viceroy Cornelia I am to continue to enroll in AshfordAcademy. However, the military does not currently know that I go under the name, Kylan. As you can see I am a girl. In the Britannian army I am known as Y-B the major, the youngest male Britannian to become a major."

"Wait. So you are pretending to be a guy? Why? Girls are allowed in the military." Suzaku looked confused.

"That is a question I don't need to answer." I said curtly. "Also under orders from Viceroy Cornelia, I am to return to the Britannian base to accompany Knight Guilford to Jeremiah's cell for his release."

I looked at Suzaku with narrowed eyes. "Under no circumstances are you to reveal my identity as a Britannian soldier to any student or to any Britannian soldier that I am a girl. Do you understand?"

"…I see." Suzaku looked away for a moment before he turned to look back at me. "I understand."

"Good." I nodded. We were silent as we looked at each other. I was ascertaining whether Suzaku would really keep his mouth shut about my femininity. I believed he would, seeing as he had kept a secret about Lelouch for so long. Then I began to think. Should I ask him about Lelouch's real identity?

"You were the one listening to Lelouch and I on the roof…right?" Suzaku suddenly asked. I blanked. I should have known he would have realized someone was listening due to his military training. Especially when Q2 had appeared. He probably heard me when I yelled at him.

I sighed. "Alright. Yes I was the one listening to your conversation." I looked at him. "I've answered your questions so you should answer mine. Who is Lelouch, really?"

Suzaku studied me quietly. "Can I trust you to keep what I am about to say a secret?"

I was actually surprised he was going to tell me. "I'm trusting you to keep my secret a secret. If I somehow fail to keep Lelouch's then you have every right to tell others my secret."

Suzaku nodded. "Fair enough." He looked around to make sure no one was nearby. "Lelouch Lamperouge is really Lelouch vi Britannia, the late prince of Charles zi Britannia."

I felt my blood run cold. Lelouch was… my elder brother, Lelouch? I had noticed the similarity in their speech, hair, eyes and face but I hadn't realized that they were one and the same. No… I couldn't believe that my elder brother was alive like how I had escaped death. Could Lelouch really be…? Then…does that mean Nunally is alive as well?

"T-then… if what you're saying is true…does that mean that the late princesses, Kylan vi Britannia and Nunally vi Britannia are alive too?" I stammered.

Suzaku nodded. "Sort of. Last I remember, Nunally was alive. I do not know about this Kylan girl."

I nodded slowly. So Nunally was alive too… "H-How did you come to know Nunally and Lelouch?"

Suzaku spoke quietly now. "Seven years ago, my family, the Kururugis, sheltered Nunally and Lelouch in Japan. After Japan became Area 11, we were separated. I have just now met up with Lelouch again."

"I-I see." I looked at Suzaku intently. Could it really all be that simple? Could they truly be alive? My sweet elder brother and darling little sister... alive?

That's the last of them. Last time I'll say this too. If you'd like a continuation you can ask. I'm not completely sure I'll continue or not but if I get enough people asking I might consider it.
