A/N: This is the last chapter for my short update spree! xD As always, please enjoy the read!


C.C. knelt in front of Lelouch, her knees landed with a near silent thud on the carpeted floor, removing the ropes pooled around his ankles. Kallen slowly trailed a hand up his arm, her fingers delicately brushing against the pale skin before she stopped at the blind fold, hanging loosely on his neck. She fingered the black fabric between her thumb and index fingers, savouring the silky texture.

Lelouch trembled in his seat. A mask of indifference was plastered on her face, even as she moved closer to him, stopping with their noses only inches a part, before her arms slid around Lelouch's neck. She reached behind his neck to find the knot on his blindfold. Her warm breath tickled his skin, and his eyes widened at their close proximity, mistaking the situation.

Suddenly, a huge grin split across her face. "Got you!" Kallen exclaimed with unbridled mirth, as she again fastened the blindfold over his eyes.

"Damn it!" Lelouch cursed, his mind racing and heart pounding. Kallen... He could feel her withdraw from the loss of warmth, and a frown flashed across his face, but stopped when C.C.'s voice reached him.

"Nunnally... I think Zero was looking for you earlier." Lelouch could picture C.C. with an apathetic look on her face, rounding on his younger sister in his mind's eye.

"But I'm pretty sure that I told him to-" Nunnally began to protest, but was cut short by Cornelia.

"He was at the reception, conversing with Ohgi. You'll find him their, I'm sure he hasn't left yet. He's had something to tell you too." She ushered her younger half-sister out the door, and before Cornelia left the Viceroy to her devices, she whispered a warning. "Don't say anything about Lelouch, alright? We can't have rumours flying around before we've decided on a course of action."

Nunnally mechanically nodded before voicing her concern. "I understand, but what are you going to do to big brother? Isn't it enough already? What you've put him through?" Worry laced her voice. It was quite endearing, but Lelouch wasn't a young boy anymore.

"Don't worry." Cornelia grinned deviously, "he'll be safe with us... I'm sure of it."

Nunnally sighed. "Please don't hurt him. We just got him back, after all." And somehow, I think it'll be more dangerous leaving him with you, than having him wander the streets...

"Oh, don't worry about it, Nunnally! I'll see to it that he enjoys himself too." She grinned, waving Nunnally off, who engaged the button on her wheelchair to travel down the deserted hall way.

"I hope so..." Nunnally trailed off, mumbling to herself. But I'm just really happy that big brother is alright... She grinned to herself, heading back to the wedding reception. I'll have to talk to him tomorrow, after we've had our sleep.

Cornelia watched Nunnally round the corner, before turning back to the room and the anxious inhabitants. "Oh, he'll enjoy himself.." She whispered to herself. "I'll be sure to that I uphold that promise."
