Now Enjoy!

"Well, well, look what the cat dragged in." said Kalin

"What do you want Kalin?" demanded Jack

"Actually, it's Sakura. I need to talk to her." Said Kalin

"Sorry, but you're going to have to take a number, I'm busy right now." I said as I began to walk away

"Oh, really? Are you happy that Suzaku-niichan is innocent?" smirked Kalin

"What did you say?" I exclaimed trying to hide the fear in my voice

"Suzaku-niichan. I might be an Eleven, but I know Japanese when I hear it. You called Suzaku your brother when you learned that he was accused of murdering Prince Clovis." Said Kalin

"What are you talking about? If I was related to Suzaku, wouldn't my last name be Kururugi?" I asked, trying to confuse him

"I know exactly what I heard, in fact…" started Kalin

"Kalin!" exclaimed Millie

"What do you want?" asked Kalin

"Listen, I need to explain the ground rules of the student counsel to you, Yusei, and Jack." Said Mille

I slowly began walking away, and when I was out of earshot, I ran as fast as I could. I was headed to the school gates to meet Lelouch and congratulate him on saving Suzaku's life.

"Lelouch!" I exclaimed as I saw him

"Hi Sakura." Said Lelouch

"That was a nice performance, Zero." I said

"How did you know?" asked Lelouch

"Logical reasoning and Geass." I said

"Looks like you caught me." Said Lelouch

"What can I say, I'm a detective." I said

"So what happened today? You went somewhere without telling anyone, you just said that you were away on a family emergency." Said Lelouch

"I was at Kyoto, and yesterday, I found out that I'm now the representative of Kyoto for the Kururugi household." I said

"Not a big deal." Said Lelouch

"Not a big deal! This is Kyoto, Lelouch, the largest Knightmare producing company in Japan! And, you're telling me it's no big deal?" I exclaimed

"Okay, okay, I get the idea." Said Lelouch

"That and, mom had three Knightmare designs. One of the Knightmares she designed was stolen today." I said

"That's not good. *Yawn*." Yawned Lelouch

"Tired?" I asked

"Yeah. I'm back." Said Lelouch

"Welcome home Lelouch." Said a girl

"Huh? It-it's you!" I exclaimed

"I'm so glad, I was worried." Said Nunnally

"I'm assuming you went out tonight, judging from your appearance." Said the girl

"Thank goodness, I thought maybe you had gotten caught up in all the uproar caused by that man, Zero. I tried calling you, but you didn't answer your cell phone. I wanted to tell you Miss C.C. has been waiting for you as well." Said Nunnally

"C.C.?" asked Lelouch

"Is that your name?" I asked C.C.

"Your friend goes by such an unusual name, only her initials." Said Nunnally

"Yeah." Said Lelouch

You're obviously tired Lelouch-niichan.

"I was just wondering, is C.C. your girlfriend?" asked Nunnally

"He made a promise about our future together. Along with Sakura. Right?" asked C.C.

"A future together? You mean marriage?" asked Nunnally

"No! Well, that isn't what she was talking about. It's like uh…she's kidding around." Said Lelouch

"No I'm not." Said C.C.

"You're certainly doing this sooner than most, but everyone's different, aren't they? So I suppose it isn't that strange and if you feel you're ready for…" started Nunnally

*CRASH!*

"Oh, C.C. look what you've done, you're soaking wet. Come on; let's get you to the bathroom, and into a dry change of clothes. Nunnally, stay here and I'll clean that up in a minute." Said Lelouch

"We'll clean it up in a minute!" I corrected

"And she was kidding before, kidding, just a dumb joke, that's all. And about Sakura, that was a joke too." Said Lelouch

"What he said!" I called back

He dragged C.C. to his room, as for me, I took a nervous glance outside, and I saw Kalin walking around like he was looking for something. He must have snuck out of Millie's lecture about the student counsel. I wouldn't blame him, but I couldn't leave for a while without the risk of being seen. Let's put it this way, pink hair in the night does not look good for going incognito.

"Who are you?" asked Lelouch

"She said my name, I'm C.C." said C.C.

"That's not what I meant. Why aren't you…?" started Lelouch

"Supposed to be dead? So, do you like the power that I gave the both of you?" asked C.C.

"Just as I suspected." I said

"As I thought, it was you." Said Lelouch

"Dissatisfied?" asked C.C.

"Not really." I said

"On the contrary, we're grateful. It allows us to speed up our schedule tremendously, which is a huge help." Said Lelouch

"What he said." I said

"Your schedule?" asked C.C.

"Yes, our schedule for obliterating Britannia. We would have to wait much longer before we could have made the initial move." Said Lelouch

"Probably a few years, even I would have trouble going forward without this power." I said

"You believe you can destroy it simply by using that power?" asked C.C.

"We intended to do it without this power." Said Lelouch

"But it would have taken much longer." I replied

"This is why you turned out to be a fascinating guy." Said C.C.

"What will you do now?" asked Lelouch

"I'm sure the military is after you." I said

"Not the entire military, only a small faction of it. So it shouldn't difficult to find a hiding place, I can make do here." Said C.C.

"What? You expect to stay here?" exclaimed Lelouch

"A gentleman would sleep on the floor." Said C.C.

"Don't joke around." Said Lelouch

"My being caught would cause trouble for you too." Said C.C.

"It's dangerous to stay together." Said Lelouch

"If I wander the streets, they'll find me." Said C.C.

"This isn't about you, it's our situation." Said Lelouch

"I hate stubbornness." Said C.C.

"You sure take things casually, don't you? How did you manage to survive before this? What did you do before now? And what's the deal with that so-called contract you spoke of?" asked Lelouch

"Goodnight Lelouch. You could learn a few things from your sister, Sakura." Said C.C.

"I guess we should keep quiet." I said

"What about you?" asked Lelouch

"I can't leave until Kalin's gone. This isn't going to be too long, correction, about now." I said

"What are you doing tomorrow?" asked Lelouch

"I have a test to make-up for that day I skipped class, that and I guess nothing." I said

*DING*

"It's a text, now let's see…" I started

Dear Sakura,

Due to the unforeseen death of your mother, Hana Kururugi, her funeral will be held tomorrow at 2:00 at the Kururugi shrine. See you there.

"Great, just the last thing I needed." I said

"What's wrong?" asked Lelouch

"Torture session 101 tomorrow, shopping! ARGH!" I exclaimed as I somewhat pulled my hair

"Well, this'll be fun." Said Lelouch

"I better go, see you tomorrow." I said

The next day…

"So what did 'Orange' turn out to be anyway? Well?" asked C.C.

"You know, for someone who isn't willing to answer any questions, you certainly ask a lot of them." Said Lelouch

"If you don't want to answer my questions, you don't have to, just as I don't." Said C.C.

"There is no Orange; it's something I made up. But, the more they claim to be comrades of like ours, the easier it is to divide them with the thorns of suspicion." Said Lelouch

"Everyone on Earth is looking for you, because of you the world is going through an upheaval. So, is this it? Is this what you wanted to see?" asked C.C.

"No, this uproar is simply a means to an end; the world is destined to descend into greater chaos." Said Lelouch

"Is that a quote from one of your textbooks?" I asked

"Sort of. Sakura, catch." Said Lelouch as he tossed me something

"Huh? A dress with a cape and a mask?" I wondered

"I hope you like white trimmed with gold." Said Lelouch

"It's not that I don't like the outfit, I really do, but the mask, it's almost identical to yours. The only difference is that it's white." I said

"I got this for you when I got my Zero outfit. The mask is different from mine not just by color. My power originates in my left eye, your manifests in your right. You better hide those somewhere safe." Said Lelouch

"No problem." I said

I folded the clothes into my backpack, and I hid the mask there as well. I just had to come up with a secret identity for myself. I was going shopping in a few hours, around 11:00, and come back to the school at noon, in time for lunch. I didn't exactly have a lot of money come in, but I didn't mind too much.

"Good morning, your highness." Smirked Kalin

"Kalin! Perfect timing, there was something I needed to ask you." I said

"Really, what?" asked Kalin

"I want you to forget everything I said about Suzaku." I said after I activated my Geass

"Now why would I do that?" asked Kalin

"Get going to where you need to go!" I exclaimed

"Not until my question is answered!" exclaimed Kalin

What's going on? Why isn't my Geass working?

"If I can't get you to answer my question the old fashioned way, I'll have to force the answers out!" exclaimed Kalin

I didn't realize that I had left my Geass on, but when Kalin charged at me, his speed was incredible, that I had trouble to dodge almost all of his attacks. A few moments into the battle, my speed had somehow increased matching Kalin's perfectly. I noticed he was about to strike me with a finishing blow, when with the enhanced speed, I got behind him, and finished him with my favorite move, Major Outer Reaping.

"Okay! I give up! Uncle!" exclaimed Kalin

"Good." I said

"You're just going to leave me lying here?" exclaimed Kalin

"You just tried to attack me, what else would I do?" I asked him

"Well, you could help me up." Said Kalin

"Fine. Mark my words Kessler, tell a single soul about Suzaku Kururugi, and I will kill you." I said adding ice to my voice

I walked away, effectively ending the conversation and sparring match. I then noticed my Geass was still on. I immediately turned it off, hoping to save myself some trouble. Then, it hit me on how I suddenly increased my speed with Kalin. My Geass is a copying Geass! I could copy movements and speeds like I couldn't imagine! And, if possible, I could copy other Geass. I was thinking about how to pass this test in time to get to the Kururugi Shrine in time when I saw C.C., was that girl crazy? I saw Lelouch drag her to the roof where we talked to her.

"Are you insane? You can't go walking around!" exclaimed Lelouch

"Don't act strict with me, I never leave the school grounds so it's fine." Said C.C.

"But there are rare days when people outside the school come and visit the school grounds during the school hours, and that includes military members sometimes." I explained

"And, it's not. You can't do as you like here, you don't belong." Said Lelouch

"I don't belong anywhere. Hm? What's with her?" asked C.C.

"Oh, is she doing it again today?" asked Lelouch

"Who's doing what again today?" I asked

"Again?" asked C.C.

"She's going to be marking the wall like that everyday, because I used my Geass on her to make her do it." Said Lelouch

"Geass?" asked C.C.

"It's the power you gave us; you mentioned it when you made the contract, well…sort of." I said

"You're testing how long it lasts?" asked C.C.

"We need to know the specs of my weapon don't we? So behave or I'll try it on you." said Lelouch

"Would it work on me?" asked C.C.

"I don't know." I said

"What do you mean 'you don't know'!" exclaimed Lelouch

"I tried it on Kalin today, he wasn't affected by it." I said

"Oh relax, we're all in this together, I won't do anything to endanger us or our unique partnership." Said C.C.

"True." I said

"Sakura." Said C.C.

"Yes?" I asked

"May I speak to you in private?" asked C.C.

"Sure." I said

"I can take a hint, I'm going." Said Lelouch

"You said that this 'Kalin', he wasn't affected by your Geass?" asked C.C.

"That's right, and when I tried again, it didn't work. The only time it worked was when he attacked me, and I somehow copied his speed. It was incredible; his speed was like nothing I've ever seen before." I said

"Have you heard of the legend of the Crimson Dragon?" asked C.C.

"No, I haven't." I replied

"A long time ago, there was darkness in what you know today as Peru. There was a Great War between the Crimson Dragon, and the King of the Netherworld." Said C.C.

"The king of the what now?" I asked

"The Netherworld. People like me fought against the darkness with Geass, only to learn that it didn't affect them. What's more, they were supposed to be dead." Said C.C.

"Dead? Like how you were supposed to be in Shinjuku?" I asked

"Yes, but they were dead who were brought back to life." Said C.C.

"Like Vampires?" I asked

"The myth of the vampire was based of that occurrence in Peru. They were known as Dark Signers. One of the people who had a Geass power was also a person called a Signer." Said C.C.

"Hold it! Did the Signers have marks like this?" I asked revealing my birthmark

"Exactly. How do you have that mark?" asked C.C.

"I was born with it." I said

"Well, the Dark Signers couldn't be affected by Geass, but the Signer with the Geass power didn't find that to be a challenge. The Signer's Geass didn't affect their minds, but copied their abilities." Said C.C.

"Just like mine." I said

"In the end, the Signers were victorious, and the evil was sealed away into the earth. Their seals are the Nazca Lines in Peru, a tourist destination and a long forgotten battlefield." Said C.C.

"Wow! All of that happened?" I asked

"Indeed. Now don't you have somewhere to be?" asked C.C.

"Oh crap! I was supposed to be downtown 5 minutes ago! See you tonight!" I exclaimed

I got through shopping in no time at all, settling for a black and white striped dress. I got back to the school in time to take the make-up exam for Chemistry and Mr. Roman. I couldn't help but wonder why he was looking at me like that, like I was a pawn in a game of chess. I got to the Kururugi Shrine at 1:55, just in time for mom's funeral. But when I got there, something was up, and I had a bad feeling again. I was carrying the dress I was going to wear.

"Going somewhere, Sakura Li Britannia?" asked a male voice

"You! You're that servant that worked for Haku Genbu before the war!" I exclaimed

"I have a name, it's Akira. Now follow me, unless you want to end up like your mother, dead." Said Akira

"Answer my question first, were you the one who sent the text message?" I asked

"I was, I can't believe how gullible you are. Do you honestly believe I would let you live after seeing your mother's will?" asked Akira

"I would take the gun being pointed at my head as a no." I said

"Follow me if you know what's good for you." Said Akira

I had dropped the dress I was carrying by accident, and how ironic that later, that dress would be what had saved my life.

"So what's up with the dragging me to an abandoned warehouse?" I asked

"I thought that this would be a proper place for you to die. You know something Sakura, I never liked you, and my hate for you only increased when Britannia invaded Japan!" exclaimed Akira

"Why? Is it because I'm half-Japanese?" I exclaimed

"Yes, and now you're about to meet your end." Said Akira

"She can't die!" exclaimed a male voice

The sound of a gun firing was hear and echoed throughout the warehouse. When I saw the body, my face was filled with horror.

"Kalin!" I exclaimed

"Aw, how cute, a Japanese boy having a crush on a princess, oh well. Any last words, your highness?" asked Akira

"Yeah, you'll pay for what you did to Kalin." I said activating my Geass

"What are you talking about?" asked Akira

"I, Sakura Li Britannia, command you, die!" I exclaimed

"Happily!" exclaimed Akira

He committed suicide with the effect of my Geass, and fired his gun on himself.

"I'm sorry Akira, I never wanted to use my Geass on you. But you shot Kalin, and I had no choice. Please forgive me, and rest in peace." I said

"I'm assuming he's gone now." said Kalin

"He is Kalin, and you don't have to pretend who you're not. I already know, you're a Dark Signer." I said

"How did you know?" exclaimed Kalin

"I overheard Yusei and Jack talking about you last week, before Shinjuku, and I guess you already know my secrets." I said

"The Geass and that you're a Britannian Half-breed? Yeah, I know." Said Kalin

"Why are you here?" I asked

"I found this earlier, and I wanted to return it to you. I wouldn't know what you look like in this, but just between you and me, white is your color." Said Kalin

"Thanks Kalin, do you think you could give me a ride back to the Kururugi Shrine?" I asked

"No problem." Said Kalin

He drove me back to the Kururugi Shrine, and once again, I thanked him for saving my life. It was weird, he was a Dark Signer and I was a Signer, he offered to ride back with me to Ashford.

"Hey Sakura." Said Kalin

"Yeah?" I asked

"I was curious about what you said when you called Suzaku, Suzaku-niichan. At first, I thought you knew him close enough that you had a childhood crush on him. But now I know, you and Suzaku are family, which makes you cousins." Said Kalin

"Yeah." I said

"Listen, now that I know why you called Suzaku your brother, I'm willing to keep your secrets." Said Kalin

"Kalin, listen. One day, I will repay the debt that I owe you, and thanks again." I said

Monday came around sooner than I though, I was planning after school to read the rest of the manual for Knightmare Frame Sakura, and maybe make a few adjustments to personalize the Knightmare on the inside. I was deep in thought when a male voice broke my thoughts.

"I'll be joining the student body here at Ashford Academy beginning today. My name is Suzaku Kururugi. It's a pleasure to meet you.
