A/N: I don't hate Kallen. It's just that... this seems to fit her. And the concept wouldn't escape me.


Dying
Kallen


Kallen has died many times.

She died once when she first saw the woman. The witch was on the cave with Zero. Standing so close, so comfortably.

She died again when she realized that the woman probably knew Zero's identity. C.C. shared a room with their commander, and she follows him like a cat - Zero himself never left the witch behind. He'll pause on his walk if he senses that the woman isn't following anymore, then nudges her back to him.

She died when she found out who Zero is.

She died when they lost him.

She dies whenever C.C. mentions something intimate she shared with Lelouch-.. No, she tells herself - it was Zero.

And while she was rejuvenated when their leader came back to them, she died once again when she realized that, like before - she had no chance for him.

The three of them stood on the rooftop of Ashford Academy, talking about some things important for the Black Knights. And she sees the way C.C. puts her arms on Lelouch's shoulder, giving him a light nudge that signals her request that he lean down. He does so, more comfortably than the ace pilot could have ever imagined. Her keen eyes caught his hand rest on the witch's waist for a while, pulling her closer so her could hear her better. C.C. whispered something to his ear and finished with a smirk, whilst he simply smiled knowingly at her.

Kallen died at that moment yet again. She promises herself not to die any more. Because she really, really shouldn't.

To no avail.
