A/N: So I've been posted to British Columbia, and I have time for writing, which is nice. Anyways, this is another request.

Request: Lelouch takes a wrong turn and ends up in a bad neighbourhood. After getting in trouble with a local gang, he accidentally gets forced to join when their violet-haired boss starts to take a liking to him.

Gangland

It was simply supposed to be a shortcut home so that he might actually be able to see his parents before they went away on their next business trip.

It was never supposed to be like this.

All it took was a wrong turn down the wrong street, and he was in shit.

Lelouch was roughly thrown against the brick wall, the cut on his cheek bleeding profusely.

"It's just a superficial wound. Ya won't die kid, not from that, but our boss might kill ya for not payin the fee" one member said, throwing a punch into his gut.

He hadn't even known there was a fee. Four men had just surrounded him and demanded money.

Of course, he politely refused, which landed him in the position that he was currently in.

"Nah, it wouldn't happen. I say we make the kid work for us. He's got a chess set, so he's classy, and if he can play well, we can use him to get us money" another member said.

"Yeah! Great idea. I'll call the boss now and see" the third man said, pulling out a cell phone.

Lelouch couldn't deduce very much from the hushed phone conversation that went on, but the guy seemed pretty giddy when he got back.

"Great news kid" he said "The boss is gonna give you a chance to get us some cash. If you run though, we will find you, and we will kill you.

"Your match is set for 3pm tomorrow in Central Park. Be there, we'll be watching."

They pushed him roughly against the wall again and disappeared into the night, blending with the shadows as Lelouch picked himself up off the ground.

Their threats sounded legitimate, and Lelouch, not wanting to risk the safety of his sister, sighed as he began to walk.

He had to show up and play the game. The only course of action was to throw it and lose on purpose.

The next day, 2:55pm, Central Park

Lelouch was seated at the concrete table, five minutes early, and awaiting his opponent who stood between his safety and the gang.

Exactly at three o clock, the seat opposite of him was filled by a man with greenish hair.

"The name is Jeremiah Gottwald, and I don't think you'll forget it after I beat you" he said, looking down at his nails and expecting an easy victory.

Four minutes later, they were both staring down at the board, checkmate had been called by Lelouch, and both of them said "shit" at the same time, but for different reasons.

Packing up his set as quickly as he could, Lelouch rushed away as quickly as he could, without noticing that he had put the cheque in his case as well, and nearly running down the path to try and evade the slithering gang members.

It was a waste of time though.

"Thanks kid. This money will keep you safe. Until tomorrow" a gang member said, sticking out his foot, tripping Lelouch, and then pulling the money out of the case.

With a sigh, Lelouch stood up and dusted his pants off, closing his chess case and grabbing the handle.

One week later

It had been the same, day in and day out. There was a chess game every day, and he was raking in large sums of money for the gang, which he had learned was called "The Black Knights."

It still felt pretty wrong to be conning rich people out of their money, but they had plenty of it to go around, and he had been assured that the money wasn't going towards weapons or drugs.

Although how sure could you be on the word of a gang member?

Lelouch had shown up, five minutes before his match started, as he always did, at the same table in Central Park that he had for the past week.

It was a late match, considering that it was around eight o clock, but he paid no mind to the time as he sat down and began setting up the pieces.

He did however, pay special mind to his opponent when they sat down, and caused him to recoil in shock.

"You! What do you want!?" Lelouch shouted.

"Nothing at all" the gang member, who Lelouch had now known as Rivalz said. "I'm just here for a friendly chat."

"Bullshit" Lelouch replied, clenching his fists in anger.

"Ya caught me" Rivalz said, grinning toothily as he leaned forward "The boss is interested to meet who's bringing in all the cash, and I've been sent to bring you in."

"I must politely refuse" Lelouch muttered as he began to pack his chess set up.

"This isn't up for debate!" Rivalz shouted as he cleared the table of chess pieces. "You're coming to meet the boss, even if you don't want to!"

Lelouch wasn't about to be intimidated again, that is until a hood was put over his head and he was knocked out from behind.

Sometime later

Lelouch felt his head lolling from side to side, as he muttered "Fuck, I have one hell of a headache."

"I should hope so. Tamaki hit you hard enough" Rivalz replied, pulling the hood off Lelouch, which still didn't do any good because the room was dark.

"Boss, he's all yours" Rivalz said, turning around and walking away.

It was silent until the door closed, and then a light instantly flipped onto Lelouch.

"Lelouch Lamperouge, I'm afraid the picture I have doesn't do you justice" a voice said from the darkness.

In an instant, he deduced it to be a woman.

"Yeah well, I'm sure I don't look that good right now" he replied with caution.

"On the contrary, you look very, very good" she said, a lilt in her voice that caused him to shudder.

"Something wrong Lelouch? Are you cold?" the voice asked.

He was about to answer when he heard the distinctive sound of heels walking towards him on a concrete floor, and the light switching off.

Lelouch felt two arms snake around him from behind, and the voice whisper, so close to his ear that he could feel her breath "I can make you warm again."

"Th..That won't be necessary" he stuttered out.

"Come on" the woman said, changing sides and trailing her nails against the back of his neck, forcing him to shiver. "It's not up for discussion. I currently own you Lelouch, you are mine, and I will do what I want with you."

The dominance in her voice was soft, but it was there, showing that she was in full control.

The main lights in the room flipped on, and Lelouch had to shut his eyes momentarily.

When he reopened them, he saw who his boss was.

A young woman, no older than twenty five at the most, with purple hair, indigo eyes, and a sly smile on her face, wearing a low cut black top, black skinny jeans, and black high heels boots was standing in front of him.

"I'm your boss, but you can call me Cornelia" she said, taking slow steps towards him. "And you should always listen to your boss, don't you think so?"

The lights overhead flipped off once again, and Lelouch felt a weight descend onto his lap.

"Now" Cornelia said, her hot breath causing his skin to goosebump "We're going to have some fun."
