Chapter 7: Fight For Me Suzaku:

Euphemia walked into her room and returned back to her bed, tired. The wedding was official getting set up now since it was going to be in a few days. She laid down with her eyes closed and her hands resting on her stomach. As she laid there, she started to think about the other day when she was together with Suzaku. She opened her eyes and looked over toward the couch where they were, remembering their kiss. Her eyes lowered, a little sad but mostly exhausted. Her head turned back up toward the ceiling. She closed her eyes as she drifted away to her memories.

Suzaku ran through the streets of Britannia as the rain was pouring down from the dark, cloudy skies above. As soon as he heard that Euphemia had run away, he started to look everywhere. He started looking through the windows of closed stores and down alleyways but there was no sign of her. He started to get afraid that he would never find her. His feet slowed to a stop as he looked down an alley way. He saw a girl with her head down with straight pink hair that was made longer by the rain. Suzaku sighed in relief. "Euphie." he whispered.

He walked over and put his hand on her shoulder but she didn't look up at him. She remained motionless as she stared toward the ground. Suzaku smiled, happy that he had found her after hours of looking. "I was worried about you."

Then, Euphemia closed her eyes tight as her fists baled at her sides. "It's not fair!"

Suzaku was surprised by her sudden tone but after a few seconds smiled a little to try and cheer her up. "I know." He could sort of figured out what she was upset about it.

She leaned on Suzaku as her eyes were closed. It felt good to rest on him despite his wet clothes. Her eyes opened half way, continuing to think about her own problems. "No one is taking me seriously anymore. My father is trying to set me up to get married." She raised her head to look at him. She was worried. "But I want to be with you."

Suzaku wrapped his arms around her and lovingly smiled at her. "You will. Don't worry." he said for encouragement. He sighed, thinking about some things of his own. " Things didn't work out for me so well either. They still won't allow me to be in the knight of seven."

Euphemia leaned off of him to face him. "I can fix that. Let me handle it."

Suzaku smiled. "See. Together we can change a lot of things."

Euphemia looked down. She smiled a little, thinking that he was right. It was just something that they had to get through together. "Yeah." she agreed.

Suzaku took Euphemia's hands into his own. "So don't worry about anything okay?" he assured her.

Euphemia nodded, smiling. For a few minutes, they started into each other's eyes. Not thinking much of anything at that moment. They were just happy to be there with each other. Together, they leaned in and kissed each other. The kisses started to intense as it continued to rain.

Later that night, Euphemia and Suzaku returned back to Euphemia's room without being seen by anyone. Euphemia turned around to Suzaku. "It's pretty late. Instead of leaving, you can stay with me tonight."

Suzaku shrugged. He didn't mind. "It's not like I haven't before."

Euphemia didn't mind him staying in her room either. She liked when he did a few times but they had to make sure he was out by morning before anyone could see him. Euphemia reached behind her back and grabbed the zipper on the back of her dress. "You can get out of those wet clothes Suzaku."

Suzaku had started to get concerned. "But I don't have anything else to wear. I didn't leave anything here."

Euphemia smiled a little. She didn't mind. "It's okay."

Suzaku was a little nervous but he started to take off his jacket. He looked over and seen Euphemia struggling with her zipper. He started to get more nervous. He had never been in the same room with her as she was changing. She looked out of the corner of her eye and noticed him looking. "Suzaku?" she called out to him.

He jumped a little at the sound of his name.

Euphemia continued to hold onto her zipper. "Could you help me with this?" she asked nicely.

Suzaku walked over and got her zipper unstuck. He rolled it down as far as it would go to her lower back. Slowly, he helped her slip out of her dress. She held her hair above up so that it wouldn't get in the way. The nervousness inside of him was starting to lower. She kept her back turned to him. Still, she didn't seem to mind him helping her more. She stepped out of it and turned around to him. She stood in front of him with a white corset and white underwear to match.

They looked at each other for a little, not having much to say. Then, they turned around from each other, back to back, to finish getting out of their wet clothes. Euphemia reached into a drawer that was nearby her bed and pulled her pink satin pajamas. Her shirt had long sleeves and her pants went down to her feet. She climbed into bed and went on the side closest to the wall.

Suzaku finished changing out of his clothes and walked over to her bed. He didn't feel nervous since Euphemia had her back turned to him. As he climbed in beside her, she started to turn on her back and looked toward the ceiling. When he was covered, she looked over to see him looking at her. She giggled with eyes closed as she pulled the blanket over her mouth. "Relax Suzaku. You don't have to be so nervous."

Suzaku sighed and looked up toward the ceiling as he put his hands behind his head. Then, he looked over toward Euphemia who was still looking at him. She sat up on her elbow, still keeping her eyes on him. "Suzaku…I love you."

Suzaku smiled back. "I love you too."

A smile came upon Euphemia's face after hearing that. She was still a little concerned about everything that was going and worried if something would come between her and Suzaku. Suzaku sat up on his elbow, facing her.

They looked at each other for a few seconds before Suzaku started to lean in slowly. Euphemia braced herself as she closed her eyes. His lips pressed against hers into a kiss. They continued for a few seconds more before she started to pull him in closer. Her back leaned against her mattress as she kept her hands on his arms.

Suzaku then backed away, thinking that they might go too far. "Euphie-?" He was interrupted when he was pulled into another kiss. He had decided to give in. Half of his body leaned over her. Both of them continued further toward their first time as the rain continued to fall outside.


A few days had passed and the day of the wedding was all ready here. Euphemia was amazed that she could fit into her dress as she stood in front of her body length mirror. Since she woke up, a smile did not come upon her face. As she stood in the mirror, she was starting to wonder if she was doing the right thing.

Suddenly, her doors had flown open, making a loud thud. She looked surprised but worried at the same time, not sure about what was going on.

"Euphie!" Suzaku stood in front of her anxious but determined in his best white knight suit. His hands were pressed against her against her fancy white doors. "I can't do it. I can't let you get married today."

Euphemia wasn't sure about what to say. She stood quietly looking at him. Suzaku went in front of her. He took her hands into his. He smiled at her with hope in his eyes. "Remember. You said that you would find a way for us to be together."

Euphemia looked down. She didn't want to hurt Suzaku anymore than she had. It felt as if she was poking his heart with something sharp every time she had to tell him that they couldn't be together. Her eyes lowered in sadness. "Suzaku. That was a long time ago." she replied quietly.

Worry started to get more into Suzaku again. He continued to hold onto Euphemia's hands and pressed a little harder. "And what happened after that?" he asked. "I know you don't love the guy. I think you still love me and it doesn't matter if the baby's not mine."

Euphemia wanted to say something but Suzaku kept talking in the background. All she could think about was protecting Suzaku and the baby. "I'm sorry Suzaku." she spoke with a serious expression and tone. She had to let him down easy. Euphemia walked off for the altar without looking at Suzaku's face. It would pain her more to see it than she all ready felt.


In the castle chapel room, people who lived in Britannia were sitting inside waiting. Euphemia stood near the doorway to the chapel, looking inside the interior as she was preparing herself.

She was afraid. Afraid of how her life was going to change forever. Her eyes lowered toward the white lilies she held in her hands. There, she had started to accept more of her fate. The music started to play, signaling her to come in.

She walked down the aisle with her head down as everyone was watching her. She went to the altar in front of Prince Pierre. Her brothers and sisters were sitting in the front rows. The preacher had started to speak but Euphemia was looking down toward the ground, not really listening. She turned her attention back to Prince Pierre once she started listening and seen the preacher was getting ready to make them speak their vows and I do's. Pierre was smiling slyly at her but she didn't smile back. The frown on her face was plain to see.

As the preacher continued to speak, everyone could hear the doors of the chapel opening up in the back. Suzaku walked in and made his way toward the altar. Cornelia and the rest of the family stood up prepared to stop him from ruining the wedding.

Suzaku got down on knee with a serious and determined look on his face. He put his arm across his chest out of respect for her. "Euphie. I can't let you do this. You shouldn't marry him." Schneizel was getting ready to go out but Cornelia held her hand to stop him. Pierre had started to get upset at Suzaku interrupting the ceremony. "Who is this? Your knight? What is he doing?"

"Euphie. I love you and I know you love me." Suzaku told her directly. He had seen it as his last chance to get Euphemia back. Even he could tell that her life won't be blissful if she had proceeded to marry Pierre. At least trying to convince her now would save her later even if she didn't want to go back to him. He cared about her being happy. "This guy won't love you at all like I do. He's been flirting with that reporter from the interview since that press conference was over."

The woman reporter looked around nervously as she slouched down in her seat. The prince clutched his teeth as he was starting to get angrier. He was getting sick of Suzaku interrupting and telling about what he had done. "Guards!" he commanded.

His knights in black armor and helmets on came in from the side to the front toward the altar. Euphemia was starting to get worried but it didn't matter to Suzaku. He stood up and took out his sword. He was ready for a fight especially if it was for Euphemia. The prince's knights rushed at Suzaku. Their swords collided with his but it wasn't enough. He just started knocking them down with ease to the floor.

Euphemia couldn't stand to watch anymore. She rushed away from the altar and squeezed through the prince's knights that were standing back, ready to attack Suzaku. She got through them once they moved but she fell. Suzaku's eyes widened once he had seen her falling. He rushed over and caught her. He wanted to make sure the baby didn't get hurt. They sat on their knees in front of each other. Euphemia kept her eyes closed through the fall and as she sat in front of Suzaku. Her eyelids shook a little as if she was going to cry. Her hands gripped onto her dress tightly. "I don't want to do this anymore. I'm sorry I lied to you." she whispered.

Suzaku smiled in relieve a little but he started to wonder what she lied about. He stood up and picked her up from off the floor. Euphemia leaned on him as she was carried out of the altar. He smiled as he looked down at her. He was glad that he had gotten Euphemia back. She kept her eyes closed as her head leaned on his chest.

Everyone else was stunned. "What is going on here?!" Prince Pierre yelled. His voice echoed throughout the chapel.

No one answered. He looked toward the family but then back toward the door. People began to get up and started walked out of the door since there was no more wedding. He slicked his hair back, smiling with his eyes closed. He decided it was best to calm down. "Well I guess it doesn't matter. The deal still stands."

"Not anymore." a voice said.

Pierre looked shocked as he looked toward the back of the room. The king Charles Li Britannia stood up with a frown on his face as usual.

"Your majesty?!" the prince said surprised. He, like most of the people in the room, didn't know he had come to the wedding.

"The deal's off." Charles told him. "The deal was to marry my daughter but since you didn't do that, you get nothing."

The prince was shocked at first about what he said but then started to get angry. His teeth clutched together as tight as they could. His fists had baled up. This wasn't about to be over yet.


Euphemia and Suzaku returned back to Euphemia's room alone. She sat down on the couch and Suzaku was down on one knee in front of her. He took her hands into his. Euphemia opened her eyes to look up into his. She smiled a little. "The truth is the baby is yours not the prince's. I never even met him in person before."

Suzaku smiled in relief as he closed his eyes. "Why didn't you tell me?"

A troubled expression came on Euphemia's face. She squeezed Suzaku's hand a little. "I was afraid. When the others found out, I thought they were going to get rid of you as a knight or worse."

Suzaku shook his head. He could understand her reason now but didn't see the need for her to be that worried. "You didn't have to afraid of that. I'm not going anywhere." he assured her.

He placed his hand on her stomach and smiled. He wanted to touch his child for the first time that he actually knew it was his. Somehow, he had always felt there was a connection there. Euphemia smiled and placed her hand on top of his. Finally, they were happy again and their family was complete.

Afterward, she changed out of her wedding dress and put on another one. She sat down on the couch, smiling as she was glad to be with Suzaku again. He placed his hand on her stomach once more. He smiled as he felt the baby move for the first time. "Suzaku… do you think I look fat?" she asked a little nervously.

He stood up. "No. You look beautiful."

She smiled as he sat down beside her. He leaned in and kissed her. They leaned back on the couch at peace with their eyes closed and their heads leaned on each other until they heard the door slam open. Cornelia and the others walked in upset. "Euphie! I thought we had an agreement! Now everyone knows!"

Euphemia reached her hand to Suzaku as she gave Cornelia a serious look. She was tired of having to keep away from Suzaku. Suzaku stood up and helped her stand. "Well it's about time they knew. I'm not going to marry that guy."

Cornelia looked over toward Suzaku. "Suzaku. You are no longer Euphemia's knight."

Euphemia started to get more upset and decided to argue against her. "You can't get rid of Suzaku as my knight! It's my choice and I chose for Suzaku to stay!"

Cornelia was in shock by Euphemia's tone. "Euphie."

"That is my decision and you have no right to overrule it!" she stated clearly.

Everyone was surprised at Euphemia. She had never raised her voice to Cornelia before. Then, the door slammed open again but this time it was Prince Pierre. "How dare you just leave?! We had a deal! That money was supposed to be mine! Not only that but you embarrassed me in front of a bunch of people! You little-!"

Before he could say anything else, Suzaku pointed his sword to the prince's neck. Pierre looked surprised and worried. "Don't you ever talk that way to her again." he told Pierre seriously.

Prince Pierre was afraid but still angry. "How dare you?! You're just some knight. You have no right to do this."

"As Princess Euphemia's knight, I'm supposed to protect her." Suzaku replied. Since he had no connection to Euphemia anymore, there was no need for him to act nice.

"Fine but she should be grateful. I saved her from the media learning the truth about her and her bastard child." Suzaku slowly pointed his sword further into his neck. Any closer and his neck would start to bleed but Suzaku made sure that it didn't. Prince Pierre growled, seeing there was no use anymore and left the room. After things had settled down, the family turned their attention to Suzaku.

"Suzaku? You mind if we talk to you for a minute?" Cornelia asked.

Euphemia wanted to say something but Suzaku interrupted her. "It's okay Euphie."

Euphemia put her hands together in front of her and looked toward the floor. Suzaku walked out with Cornelia and the others. He closed the door behind him so that Euphemia wouldn't hear their conversation. Euphemia stood, anxious about what was going to happen.

Outside of the door, Cornelia spoke first. "Suzaku. You should leave."

Suzaku just smiled. There was no way he was going to leave. "Euphie said she wants me with her and I don't think it would be a good idea to cause her stress while she still has the baby. Besides, even if Euphie had no say over who her knight is, I would still be there for her." Suzaku stated, meaning it. Nothing was going to tear him apart from Euphemia.

Suzaku walked back inside, leaving them outside. There was nothing more to say in their conversation.

"We should be happy for Euphie and Suzaku." Everyone turned toward Nunnally. She was the only one who was happy that Euphie ended up with someone she loves.

Inside her room, Euphemia smiled as she seen Suzaku walking in alone. He helped her get into her bed so that she could rest. He climbed in beside her and laid down, happy that they were together again.
