Lelouch played with the tie around his neck as he tried to make it perfect as he stood infront of a large mirror. The only time Lelouch ever had to deal with a tie was during special events and school, those years were long gone. He grumbled loudly as he failed to loop it right and the whole thing came apart. "Blasted thing."
"Is the great and powerful Lelouch losing a battle to a tie?" Lelouch's eyes moved slightly to spot Suzaku standing in the door frame. He was in his complete military outfit, even to the objection of Nunnally who tried to force a tux onto him. It was only just a week ago when Lelouch has recklessly rushed his way through several soldiers and passer-bys showing off his face and revealing the tyrant Lelouch had not actully died.
There was not as much reaction as the government had first expected. There were several protests and riots around the world but nothing police could not handle. It wasn't long before the European Union caught word of the news and waged a propaganda war, trying it to make it seem the U.F.N. was pushing for a new tyrant rule under Lelouch.
Lelouch was rushed onto television infront of billions of people to push for peace. He spoke for over a hour explaining most of the secrets that has been kept for so long. Though some very important details, including the Geass and related topics were remained secret. And some facts were made up to make the story more convincing.
He pulled the tie off before trying again. Once finished he focused back on the mirror, he noticed his cheek was a bit red. He reached up placing his hand against the red mark. "Still hurt? She got you good."
His violet eyes scolded back at Suzaku through the mirror. The mark had begun to fade and hopfully it wouldn't leave a bruise. Before he was dragged onto tv, Nunnaly had brought together several people involved to come up with the fully story to tell. Some who were not only suprised to find out he was alive, but some not to happy to see that he had survived.
Lelouch walked slowly towards the meeting that Nunally had set up. He had already run into several people who had been invited. Some remained silent as they ignored him, others yelled at him angerly until gaurds or others pulled them away out of hear shot. The whole time Lelouch's face remained content and straight. C.C. had remained with Nunnaly, there was no point for C.C. to come to the meeting where they were going to come up with the story sense they were not going to mention anything to do with the Geass.
He stared at the ground with every step ignoring servents and gaurds he passed. He didn't notice a person was heading straight towards him until a powerful fist hit him across the face. He was forced to stumble a couple feet back. His face contorted in suprise and shock but slowly turned back to normal when he noticed who it was.
Kallen's stared at Lelouch breathing heavily. Her hair was combined down and in a pony tail. She wore a more womanly outfit then he remembered. "Was she running before she ran into me?" He thought to himself out of curiosity.
"Why?" Her eyes were full of anger and distress. He looked her over to find her meaning, giving her the slightest questioning look. She rushed at him grabbing him by the collar. "Don't give me that shit, why are you alive? Why didn't you stay dead?" She raised her hand to punch him again. Lelouch did not flinch as he continued to stare back at her with un-blinking and un-emotion filled eyes.
A hand grabbed Kallen's fist before she could swing. Lelouch looked over her shoulder to see Suzaku. "Now now, you got a punch in, now move on."
She glared at him for several seconds before letting Lelouch go and shrugging off his hand. "You are no better then he is, you both should of died." She refused to make eye-contact with either of them as she moved quickly down the hallway.
The only response Suzaku got was a quick 'hmp'. "You are not getting nervous are you?" Lelouch looked up to stare deep into his own eyes.
"It is nothing I can't handle." Lelouch's face was the usualy stiffness but there was a hint of emotion that is not usually seen on his face. He took a deep breath closing his eyes before turning around.
"Alot of people say that and then end up running out at the very last minute. Leaving behind a glass shoe for the princess to find." Suzaku said with a big smile on his face. Lelouch's eyebrow tilited a little as he gave Suzaku a questioning look.
"I don't think that is how it went." He walked slowly past him. Suzaku gave him a dumbfounded look as he passed. "Really? Then how did it go?" Lelouch shook his head as he continued walking.
Suzaku fallowed close behind him. "Lelouch." He nodded a silent response back acknowledging he heared him. "I know she can be a 'witch' and all. But remember, she's your perfect match, take good care of her." He remained silent for almost a minute before nodding again.
The first beat of the piano caused Lelouch to lookup quickly, his heart missing a beat. He would never admit it but he had been stressing out ever sense he started standing at the front of the aisle. If it weren't for the hundreds of quests and the several cameras pointed in his direction streaming the whole event live to hundreds of millions of people, he probably would go crazy standing there. "Ridiculous." He mumbled underneath his breath.
"What was that, Lelouch?" Suzaku gave him a questioning look, clearly noticing his friends stressed out state. "It's nothing." He said giving a silent response. The piano increased the rythm causing Lelouch to look at the doors slowly open.
C2 strolled through the doors a bright light shining behind her. The light shining through the windows seemed to hit her perfectly, the smooth silk shining like a million different stars dancing on a white sky. Lelouch could not see her face well through the veil but she seemed a bit red, could she be blushing?
With every step she took Lelouch could hear his heart beating in his ears. "Nunully did a good job." Lelouch barely heared him and only gave him a quick mumbled responce. He was more focused on his approaching angel. C2 stopped beside him, he could see out of the corner of his eye her returning the look.
Nunnally moved forward infront of both of them holding out her hands to both of them. They both placed a single hand in hers. As she spoke Lelouch only heared bits and pieces. When Nunnaully finished and they gave there responces he turned to Suzaku who handed him a beatiful ring.
He took C2's hand gently in his before sliding the ring onto her finger. He let her hand go before lifting the veil to reveal her hidden face. Her green hair most of been cleaned several times because it shined as brightly at her dress. One of his hands rested against her cheeks which were indeed bright pink from blushing so her skin was warm.
"You look beatiful." She gave him a suprised look before a cute anoyed expression crossed her face. "You don't look like a witch anymore, you look like a Kohana."
Her face turned to one of shock. "Kohana?" His calm face slowly turned to one of caring and he smiled as he stared deep into her yellow eyes. "I told you I would get you a good name."
Tears swelled in her eyes causing Lelouch to grow worried. "Is it bad? I can think of something else." She quickly shook her head and for the first time Lelouch thinks he spotted a real smile appearing on her lips. "My name is Kohana." At that moment Lelouch forgot about the cameras, the hundreds of people and the stressfulness of war. She stared back at him as there faces grew closer until there lips kissed, as if it were the first time.
