To be honest, me neither.

But I just rewatched Code Geass and I gotta say, I loved it even more than the first time. Sooo, naturallyyy, I had to continue this fanfic and when I started doing just that, ideas for different kind of plots just flooded over me and I was just like ''AHHH STAAAPH, I'M DOING IT ALREADY, ALRIGHT?! I'M DOING IT!''

Yeah...

Anyway, here is the seventh chapter of this terribly written story ^_^ Dis will be interesting sooner or later, I promise u. I hope.

*cough* Maybe... review? Maybe?..

Chapter 7 – Confusing To No End

Everything went perfectly just as Zero predicted it would. Even though I am not a fan of flying around, can't say I would have done a better job. All of us now were driving to some sort of hideout and I actually had a pretty good idea on what Zero was planning to do. Ohgi along with Kallen were relieved to no end that the plan worked and they didn't, well, die. The man we rescued, Suzaku Kururugi, was, to the least, feeling rather awkward and uncomfortable in the presence of us, especially Zero, who kept his composed self and stayed silent for the time being. As for me, the curiosity to know from where I've seen this man, Kururugi, was eating me from inside. Thinking that not only would I satisfy that need for answers, but most likely I would find some interesting and maybe important information, I decided to look into Suzaku's memory. Sure, it isn't a good thing to do, it was actually awful, since I literally invade the person's personal space, but I wasn't that kind of human that would limit myself to such things. I already lost the count on how many victims I had, so it was no big deal for me. If I have the power, I might as well use it.

With that thought in mind, I directed my gaze directly into Suzaku's eyes, and the moment he also for a second shifted his into mine, I immediately took control over his memories. They all flooded into me at once, like I was seeing hundreds films at the same time. And they weren't the same quality. How one's memory vibrant is depends on itself. If it happened a long time ago, it may have lost it's colors, and if the picture was deeply of importance to the person, I would see it as clearly as my own. That's why after such a long time I began to mix my memories with my victims'. That's why I began keeping a diary of some sorts, just so I could once in a while remind myself of who I am.

After the memories of Suzaku flooded into my mind, I was, simply put, intrigued by the man. Not only did I learn from where I've seen him - turns out he was a dear friend to Lelouch, maybe still is - but I also found out some very interesting details. If I hadn't seen the new-found prince's past, Suzaku's would have been at the top. But what caught my attention the most were actually quite recent events. I suppose I should report all this to Zero, seeing as how we're no allies and he is the one in command after all.

Not long after that we finally arrived at the desired place, – which was some old destroyed building, probably a school - where the rest of our little group awaited. It was obvious Zero wanted to speak to Suzaku in private, so he send me along with Ohgi and Kallen over to them, but before the leader walked away, I quickly shifted myself so that I was just behind him and grabbed a tiny peace of his cloak, signaling that he should hear me out. Making sure no one was really that close to us, I promptly whispered just loud enough for him to hear my information.

''I believe I have a rather good idea on what you wish to discuss with Kururugi, but before that hear my warning. If you believe you will be able to pursue Kururugi to join you, you are mistaken. His ideals and morals differ from yours, so it is impossible for him to agree with your methods. He believes Britannia can be changed from within.'' At this the man stiffened, though he chose not to show it. Obviously he really did think he could get Suzaku on his side. ''But of course, you should be aware of that.''

With that I let go of my grip, but before I walked away, I added:

''Chose your words accordingly. It is also very possible after this Kururugi will return to the court-marshal.''

After that I paced over to the other, where they were all discussing about Zero. Even though I found no interest in it, I still couldn't help but catch a few phrases. Still, my gaze was always directed to the fallen-apart auditorium of some sort, where our dear leader took Suzaku to to have their little chat. I wonder, did my warning did anything to affect it? Maybe it did, maybe it didn't, I might never know, but I was secretly glad when after a few minutes of talking the two men shook hands. It seems Lelouch did a good job at those words I mentioned. It's always better to be in good graces with such people as Suzaku. I guess I should also mention that little detail to our new leader.

When I got home, a surprise was waiting for me. And I don't mean a good or a bad one, just a plain one. It wasn't even exactly that, but I definitely didn't expect it. I mean, I've been living with K.K. for a few years now, and never once did he show some real emotions. I sometimes got that weird feeling that he seemed frustrated, but the boy managed to hide it very well. But today K.K. seemed different. I was always terrible at reading other people's feelings, but even I could see the clear change. When I entered my room I was met with an impatient violette, who seemed to have been pacing around the room. The moment he directed his gaze to me, I could see a mix different kind of emotions swirling in those deep pools of lime. He actually seemed... anxious about something and at the same time irritated. Though another one, which I have no idea how I recognized, was present as well. Was K.K. ... hopeful?..

After I closed the door behind me, I dropped my small bag on the floor and crossed my arms, directing a questioning look to the boy. I was expecting that he would start hiding his... emotions when I came in, but to my surprise, he didn't. Now I really wanted an explanation.

''E-Catherine.'' K.K. began and even stuttered a bit. He... stuttered? ''H-How was the mission?''

I lifted my brows and tilted my head a bit, completely confused at this point. Since when do you care?

''Quite the performance this Zero made. I understand why you chose to follow him, even though,'' The boy coughed a bit and straightened up, obviously trying to compose himself. ''There is no need for you to do that, you're completely capable of such things on your own. You shouldn't be the one to play the pawn.''

At this point my silence finally broke.

''Mind enlightening me on what occurred when I was away? You are not acting yourself.''

''Hmm, that may be true...'' The violette dazed off and unconsciously pulled one of those black straps on his suit, which actually reminded me something...

''May I ask you something? What is the reason for you to keep wearing this outfit? You could simply buy a new one, a more proper one.''

''Oh, is it bothering you?'' He asked a bit startled.

''It's not, but I do not believe a boy of your age should be wearing such a thing.'' I frowned a bit as I looked over his worn-out suit. ''I could buy you some decent clothes, you would look better. But you would have to tell me what is it you would want.''

To my immense surprise, a light pink blush appeared on his cheeks. The boy directed his eyes from me and again pulled that black strap. Maybe he does that when he's nervous?..

''T-That would be nice.'' He finally murmured just loud enough for me to hear. Seriously, what was up with him?

I unfolded my arms and walked closer to him, still not loosing that confused look in my eyes.

''Now would you be so kind and explain what is the reason for your sudden change?''

K.K. bit his lower lip a bit before answering. Clearly he was thinking over what he should say.

''Actually, I have something for you to do.'' He finally began. His tone seemed somehow... off. I couldn't quite place what I was hearing. ''You don't have to agree, but it should be... interesting experience for you. I know why you fight against Britannia and I also know you enjoy action, which is also one of the reasons why you joined the terrorists, right? Well, this specific mission... I'm sure it would be more thrilling than anything you've experienced so far. And it would be a perfect opportunity for you to finally use your Geass as it is meant to be.'' With those words he glared at me a bit.

''Hmm, well it certainly caught my interest.'' I began slowly, narrowing my eyes. ''But what will you gain from it?''

K.K. looked at me startled and wide-eyed.

''M-Me? Why would you think that?''

''You would never suggest something for me if it was of no importance to you personally. You are, after all, just a spectator from what I've seen. Besides, your reaction just confirmed it.''

The boy seemed irritated with himself for a second, but quickly shook it off.

''Fine, there is something, but I can't reveal what to you now. It's still not the right time.'' He again bit his lip and thought for a second. ''Which actually reminds me something. Now that this Zero guy came along, will you be using your Geass more? And I mean really using it, not just looking into the memories of your victims.''

''If Zero orders me, then I will.'' I shrugged and began walking towards my wardrobe. I should really change out of this outfit.

''Hold on.'' K.K. stopped me, grabbing my arm. I looked at him and saw irritation in his gaze. ''Why does he know about it?''

''I've informed him of it and demonstrated.'' I said indifferently, braking free from the violette's grip.

The boy's eye twitched a bit from annoyance and he crossed his arms. Hostility was radiating from him and for some reason I really didn't like it.

''May I ask, who is this Zero anyway? Are you somehow connected to him?'' K.K. asked coldly, which really surprised me. I was so used to his bored and indifferent tone, that this sudden change quite literally send shivers down my spine. Though I wasn't going to break that easy.

''Actually, you may not.'' I snapped. ''You are not my mother and I can have secrets of my own. You are not the only one here who believes that hiding important information from his so-called ally is an excusable thing to do and that is how this 'alliance' should work.'' Coldness radiated from my voice as I spoke those words.

With that I sharply turned away, but in that split second my eyes landed on his, in those pools of lime I caught a sign of hurt. And that was probably the most confusing and shocking thing I've seen all day.
