A/N: Derp.. felt like writing again = 3= buuuurghhh.. By the way. I'm sorry that the story is going along to the show mostly, I promise in the later chapters it won't be like that much, and once the show ends, I'll be doing my own chapters so please wait patiently for those w

Lelouch: Tsk.. stealing ideas..

Kari: *firey glare* I HEARD THAT! *throws random objects at Lelouch* DO THE DISCLAIMER OR I'LL HAVE THEM ARREST YOU!

Lelouch: Tsk! OW! They can't arrest- Ow! Me!

Kari: *growls and fire comes out of mouth* Don't make me make you do weird things in the story!

Lelouch: ALL RIGHT! *throws a pillow at Kari and holds her down with it* Kari owns only Linamae, Sorale, Z.Z. and the Rosen!

Kari: GET OFF ME! You're heavy you fatso! *flails*

Lelouch: *rolls his eyes* R&R before she kills me..

IMPORTANT: Oh btw I've gotten a question about Z.Z. o 3o I realized I never explained. Z.Z. isn't an ordinary immortal; he's basically one of the first ever immortals created. He's been alive since the beginning of the world. He's developed an ability over the long time he'd been alive. His first wish was to be immortal in the first place but his wish has change and you'll find that out as the story goes on :D

Linamae's eyes fluttered open as she started to awaken, hours later from the incident as she found herself in a train seat next to Lelouch and across from C.C. She didn't move, but listened in to the conversation; she was leaning on Lelouch's side, his arm draped around her as he held her close, his grip tighter that necessary. She was still weakened by the earlier incident to move her body.

" ..head, he's the worst possible enemy.. " C.C. was explaining.

"Five hundred meters.. " Lelouch contemplated for a moment, looking down at Linamae's still limp body. Her eyes were hidden under her bangs and her breathing was still soft and peaceful, he smiled at the thought for a moment, "Well it doesn't really come as a surprise to me.. " he subconsciously started rubbing Linamae's arm with his thumb in comfort, "I knew there must be others who had the power of geass, especially after Linamae.. did you make a contract with him.. ?"

"Eleven years ago"

Lelouch laughed unamused, "So he's my predecessor.. is there some reason that this forerunner is also my enemy?"

"Mao is after me. He may be your enemy but he's not targeting you.. " C.C. continued to explain as she stared out the window. Lelouch put his hand to his cheek in thought, his facial features turning into hard concentration.

"Yeah well, I can see that. He could have revealed mine and Lina's true identities and told the police and the military who we were.. but he chose not to and instead used Lina to- kh.. are there limits to his powers?" he looked back up at C.C.

"Mao's geass is very potent, he can use it as many times as he wants, and he doesn't need direct eye contact like you do.. "

"Does he have any weaknesses?"

"If you press me, I guess it's that he can't turn his power off.. in a crowd he hears all the minds roiling and riving around him.. whether he wants to or not.. " she explained solemnly, shifting her eyes to the side.

Linamae felt Lelouch shifting beside her but never shifted her position so as not to wake her. She soon fell back asleep, falling into the darkness that was her dreamless slumber.

The next morning, Linamae found herself in a slightly familiar room. She opened her eyes, fluttering them slightly as the sunlight peeked through the curtains of the room, "Mm.. " she reached up and rubbed her eyes lightly, a habit that remained from when she was young, and sat up while yawning. Her hair was a bit messy and disheveled but not untamed; she looked down at her hands, not noticing the white sleeves covering them about three inches past her finger tips. She looked down at herself and found that she only wore her panties and a large white dress shirt, obviously much too big for her. She blushed lightly but shook it off and stretched, feeling the strain from the day before reach her; she stood up slowly and stretched even more, the shirt falling down and reaching just about mid-thigh. She had to button up the top button of the shirt to keep it from falling off her shoulders. Linamae looked around the room, now realizing that it was Lelouch's, and the events from the previous day all returned to her, making her frown. She then looked toward the side table to find her phone sitting neatly on it. She walked over, picked it up and looked through it.

The last call was to Z.Z., near midnight from last night, 'Lelouch.. ' she smiled softly and then dialed Z.Z.'s number, sitting back down on the bed as she waited for the phone to ring.

"Lina?"

"Yeah it's me"

"I'm glad to hear you're alright.. Sora's been looking for you"

Linamae sighed softly, "I'll be home soon.. I think.. you'll need to move here with me. I have a feeling Lelouch will ask me to move in.. especially if Nunnally is here. I need you to stay in a roomy soundproof room here in the clubhouse.. I'll ask Milly. We can count on her"

"Right.. I'll start packing"

Linamae nodded once, "And Z.Z.?"

"Hm?"

"Thank you.. for everything.. " a silence answered her.

"Right. See you" his voice spoke gently and the line went dead.

Linamae hung up her phone and placed it back on the table. She walked over to the mirror near his closet and fixed herself up before stepping toward the door and out to the hall, walking cautiously down the sun-lit hallway. Linamae looked around curiously until she came to another door that opened upon approach. She continued walking in and found herself in a kitchen, smiling slightly as she saw Lelouch placing a tea kettle on a tray.

"You're awake" he looked up at her from his work and smiled, "How are you feeling?"

Linamae smiled gently and walked over shrugging her shoulders, "I've felt better, but I'm fine" she stopped a couple of feet away and tucked her hair behind her ears shyly. A silence fell on the couple as Linamae fumbled with the sleeves, trying to keep them up. Linamae looked up as Lelouch's hands took the sleeves, starting to fold them up for her.

She watched as his face calmed in concentration; she waited until he finished and looked up to meet her eyes, making her blush and look away with her eyes. He continued to hold onto her wrists, as she looked everywhere but at him. One of his hands left her wrist and reached up, gently taking her cheek and slowly turned it until she was forced to face him, she closed her eyes, unable to directly look at him.

"Lina.. " he breathed out, leaning closer to her, holding both of her wrists in one hand, "Lina look at me.. " he whispered, stroking her cheek with his thumb. When she continued to shut her eyes, he let go of her wrists, as well as her face, and placed his hands on either side of her waist, pinning her to the counter that he made her lean back on. Lelouch then leaned down and nuzzled her cheek softly, "Lina.. "

"Mm.. " Linamae blushed even more as she placed her hands on his chest, trying to push at him, "N-No.. D-Don't Lelouch.. I.. "

"Lina.. I-"

"Lelouch? What's taking so long?" a soft voice came from the other room.

Lelouch paused, backing away from Linamae, "Sorry Nunnally, I had to take care of something. I'll be right there" he called, as Linamae tried to calm her beating heart. He slowly turned back to her, staring into her eyes for another moment making her shrink back slightly, then leaning back, releasing her and walking to grab the tray, "Come on" his mood immediately changed to that of excitement as he turned to look at her, "Nunnally's gonna want to meet you" he smiled and gestured with his head for her to follow him.

Linamae tilted her head then calmed herself down more before following him. She stopped behind him as he stepped into the dining room.

"Wait here.. I'll gesture for you when to come" he whispered.

"Here's the tea Nunnally" Lelouch smiled as he approached his sister who sat in her wheel chair at the dining table.

"You took a while big brother" the gentle girl laughed slightly.

Lelouch chuckled softly, "Sorry about that" he then set down the tray and set up the table, turning on his laptop and looking through his files as he and Nunnally both sipped their tea.

'Mao read my mind. He already knows my weak points and that's where he'll strike' Lelouch contemplated in his mind, putting down his teacup.

"It's been a long time since we spent time by ourselves huh?" Nunnally spoke, putting down her own teacup, making Lelouch look up at her.

"You know, even Sayoko needs a little time off now and again" Lelouch smiled at his sister, eyeing Linamae as she peeked out from the kitchen, "Starting today," he looked back down at his laptop, switching through all the cameras that he set up around the school, "I'll be staying home for a while"

"Lately you've been out of the house so much I was curious" Nunnally smiled at her brother across the table, her smile gently even when she couldn't see, "Have you found some really fun game to play or something?"

"Sort of" he laughed unamused, "My current opponent's really hard to beat" he looked up and gestured for Linamae to walk forward then put a finger to his lips to tell her to silently come.

Nunnally laughed obliviously, "That's funny. Only our big brother Schneizel would ever make you say something like that"

Lelouch laughed and stood up slowly, "Well.. I guess I should tell you part of the reason I've been busy hm?"

"Huh? Part of it?"

"Mm.. " he walked over to stand beside Nunnally and extended his hand out. Linamae took his hand and stood beside him. He nodded to her with a smile and watched as she smiled back, then kneeled down next to Nunnally's chair. Lelouch smiled brighter as he recalled Suzaku, Linamae's own brother, to have done almost exactly the same thing. She took Nunnally's hand in both of hers, gently enclosing it between her hands.

Nunnally let out a soft gasp, then tears brimmed her closed eyes, "It couldn't be.. " a happy and gentle smile forming on her lips, "Lina.. Lina is that you? I can't believe it! I knew you would come back! I always believed.. " she broke off in a soft sob, holding Linamae's hand close to her, holding it like a precious item.

Linamae's gaze softened more, feeling her chest tighten up as tears brimmed her own eyes. She kneeled down next to Nunnally and held Nunnally's hands with both of hers, "I've missed you so much Nunnally. I'm so happy to see you"

Lelouch watched the two girls with a rare smile on his face, 'I will make a better world.. for the both of you' his attention was then turned to a certain green haired immortal staring right at a camera he placed in his room. His expression twisted to that of concentration before speaking, "Lina. Do you mind keeping Nunnally company for a while? I'll be right back"

"Of course" Linamae wiped her tears off her eyes and smiled at Lelouch before turning back to Nunnally, hearing Lelouch's footsteps fade into the hallway.

Lelouch walked back to his room in a calm manner and stood in front of C.C. who sat on the bed holding Cheese-kun.

Meanwhile in the dining room, Nunnally held tightly onto Linamae's hands, afraid that if she let go, the girl would disappear, "How have you been? You just left without a word.. I was so worried"

"I'm so sorry Nunnally.. I had.. a sudden emergency. My family wanted me back in Britannia, and.. I had to bind my family name with Kaguya's for a while.. because.. " she trailed off, having said too much as she bit her bottom lip.

"Because.. ? Lina.. you know you can tell me anything.. "

Linamae's shoulders relaxed and she smiled gently, "R-Right.. Nunnally.. please promise me you won't tell anyone. Especially not Lelouch; I'll tell him when the time is right, but right now.. I'm just not ready ok?"

Nunnally paused for a moment before smiling and nodding, "We've had secrets from Lelouch and Suzaku before. I'm not about to tell them now" she giggled, making Linamae laugh along.

"Right. Oh, Suzaku knows, but he hasn't seen.. him.. " Linamae hesitantly spoke.

Nunnally tilted his head, "Him? You don't have a, boyfriend, or are you married?" Nunnally tried to guess"

Linamae blushed bright red and waved one hand in front of her, "No! Not at all!"

Nunnally started laughing again, making Linamae smile. the blue eyed girl took a nervous and shaky deep breath before starting to explain, "Nunnally.. you're.. an aunt"

Nunnally paused for a moment, trying to process the information, "Me? An aunt? What do you mean?"

Linamae sighed before explaining again, "Nunnally.. I left because, I was.. pregnant.. with Lelouch's child" her voice lowered so that only Nunnally could hear.

The gentle princess gasped, "Oh my!"

"Please don't tell! No one except Kaguya, Suzaku, and you know.. and I want to keep it that way.. at least for now. Please promise me you won't say anything" Linamae pleaded.

Nunnally was speechless as she covered her wide grin. She spoke, trying to control her excitement, "A-Are you still-"

"No.. I gave birth a few months ago.. "

"I want to meet him.. Is that alright?"

Linamae's smile brightened as tears brimmed her eyes, "Of course Nunnally.. I'll bring him over.. "

The two girls continued talking for a while, catching up on the months of their lives that the other has missed.

"So where are you staying right now Lina?" Nunnally took a sip of her tea, Linamae now sitting on the seat beside her.

"Just in an apartment nearby. It's only temporary"

"Why don't you stay here then? It's no difference except that you wouldn't have to pay the rent.. oh but then.. I don't know how you'll be able to hide Sorale.. "

Linamae smiled gently, "Yeah.. "

"Oh wait.. Who did you leave him with if he's not here with you?"

"I left him with a close friend.. he stays with me and is like a nanny to Sora.. "

"I see.. hm.. Oh! They can stay in the furthest room here. It's a sound proof room, once the former music room, and no one really uses it. I'll make sure Sayoko keeps the secret and hep out too"

"Are you sure Nunnally?" Linamae blinked at the girl, having nothing to argue.

"Of course! Then we'll all be close again! So what do you say? Will you stay with us?"

"Of course she will" Linamae and Nunnally turned to Lelouch, who was now walking out of the kitchen with a smile on his face.

"Lelouch?"

"I want you to stay here. It's best that you're close to us.. right Nunnally?"

Nunnally nodded, not understanding the double meaning directed at Linamae, "That's right! Suzaku is even going to school here now! We're all back together. Just like old times" Nunnally's joy reached the two older teens in the room.

Linamae couldn't help but smile as she nodded, "Alright. Then I'll move in tomorrow ok?"

"Great!" Nunnally hugged her best girl friend as Lelouch watched in happiness, his earlier squabble with C.C. only a thought in the back of his head now. 'I'll never let Linamae fall into that kind of danger again.. I promise.. ' "I'll help you out Lina. We'll start-"

"Uh.. no. I've got a close friend that will help me. He'll help me move in; besides I'm sure you're really busy anyways. Don't worry about it" she smiled, standing up and smiling unsurely at Lelouch.

"Right.. I do have some business tonight anyways. I'll expect you here tomorrow then?"

"Yes. I'll be fully moved in by tomorrow"

Lelouch nodded, "You can move into the room next to mine, make sure to call your friend before you go. I don't want you traveling alone rig tnow"

Linamae nodded again then turned to talk once again to Nunnally.

Z.Z. made a frustrated 'tsk' sound as he placed a piece of Linamae's clothing in a dresser in her new room, "That boyfriend of yours really knows how to be a casanova and irritate me at the same time doesn't he?" he threw an indirect glare at Linamae who was cradling Sorale in her arms. Her geass was activated as she was watching where Lelouch and C.C. now were. A theme park that Lelouch has informed her of where they were taking care of Mao, her kidnapper.

Linamae didn't reply then turned to the door, "Nunnally wants to see her nephew.. I'll be right back and we'll set up his nursery-"

"It's already set up" Z.Z. kindly smiled, making Linamae smile back and nod.

"Thank you.. " Linamae walked out with a wide awake Sorale who was sucking on a pacifier.

"Where are we going? Are we getting moved to another place again?" a young Nunnally spoke softly from her brother's back.

"It's one of the Kururugi's homes.. " the young Lelouch replied, walking through a dead field, followed by a young Suzaku who held the hand of his own little sister, "This time, it's the main house ok?"

Suzaku sadly turned to the side where a dead woman lay, holding her dead baby. He unconsciously held onto Linamae's hand tighter, making her bury her tear stained face into his arm. Suzaku stopped walking as he turned to look at his silently crying sister.

"Keep on walking.. Suzaku.. Lina.. " Lelouch spoke.

"But.. " Suzaku tried to argue as he held onto Linamae.

"Keep walking" Lelouch spoke stronger this time.

"Where are we? It smells really bad here.. " Nunnally lifted her head in curiosity.

"We're going by a garbage dump.. right?" Lelouch stopped and turned to look at the two siblings who had stopped, both their faces had tears dripping down their cheeks.

"What's wrong Suzaku, Lina?" Nunnally spoke as Lelouch carried her over to the siblings.

"I.. I.. " Suzaku sobbed, still trying to be strong for his sister, who he now held to his chest as she sobbed. He suddenly looked up, feeling a hand stroking his cheek, "Nunnally?"

"My mother taught me that a warm touch is good for tears. Do you think it's true?" the young Britannian princess smiled gently as Linamae turned to look at her as well, her brother still holding onto her hand.

'I will overcome this.. ' Lelouch told himself as he sat shirtless on his bed, his elbows resting on his knees as he hunched over.

'It's been eight years.. ' Linamae placed a sleeping Sorale in his crib, pulling his blanket on him then looked out the window at the bright moon.

Suzaku stared in deep thought at a file he held, not seeing it as he sat in front of the Lancelot.

The next day, Suzaku ran into the gates of the academy upon seeing his best friend, "Hey! Lelouch!" he called, making the former black haired prince turn to him.

"Hm?"

"What's up? You know, they're gonna hold you back if you don't start coming to class.. " Suzaku joked.

"I could say the same about you right?" Lelouch asked as Suzaku stopped in front of him.

"I have work to do," Suzaku explained, "It's just that the Black Knights have really been on the move lately.. "

"Hey, I thought you were in engineering.. " Lelouch asked in confusion as he looked at Suzaku.

"Uh.. " Suzaku stammered for an answer, "We're short handed.. so they moved me around"

"Hm.. still, how about dropping by for dinner more often?" Lelouch suggested, "Nunnally misses you. Are you free this evening?"

"Yeah I could come tonight. But are you sure it's ok? I don't wanna cause any- wah!" Suzaku turned and backed up just in time as a familiar blue motorcycle skidded to a stop in front of him, making him hold up his school bag in defense.

Lelouch stepped back, startled as his blue haired classmate jumped off the motorcycle, "Hey Lelouch!"

"What's wrong?" Lelouch spoke calmly to the freaked out Rivalz.

"I heard that the President's out doing a blind date thing again!"

"Yeah.. today" Lelouch answered indifferently.

"Today?" Rivalz stepped forward and grabbed at Lelouch, "Why didn't you tell me about it?"

Lelouch backed up in surprise as he stared at his friend, "Cause it'd make you cry.. "

"Boys don't cry!" Rivalz argued.

"It's ok.. " Suzaku sighed, "I didn't know about it either.. "

Rivalz turned to him shaking a fist, "Don't give me your emo routine!"

"Emo?" Suzaku asked in bewilderment.

"I guess compassion is not in fashion these days" Lelouch said as he stepped to the side then turned to face Suzaku, "So, anyways.. are we on for dinner tonight with Nunnally?"

"Sure" Suzaku replied; Lelouch then turned and rushed off in the direction of the clubhouse.

"What about school?" Suzaku shouted after him.

"Oh right! Don't worry!" Lelouch stopped immediately and turned to look at him with a smile, "I'll be right back! I'm just gonna go tell her about it, but I have a surprise for you!" he stepped to the side, his head turning to look over his shoulder as a teenage girl in the Ashford girl's uniform walked forward from behind him, smiling as she looked at Suzaku, her school bag held in both of her hands.

"Suzaku.. It's been a long time.. "

Suzaku's eyes widened as a smile formed on his face, "Lina!" he exclaimed and rushed forward and enveloped his sister in a tight hug, making her laugh, "I missed you! Where on earth have you been?" he pulled back and smiled at her, noticing that her eyes were covered in bright lavender contact lenses, making them look like dull amethysts.

"In the same place you left me in last time silly head" she pouted slightly with a smile and poked his forehead.

"Ow.. sorry. I've just been busy lately" Suzaku stepped back and rubbed his forehead.

Linamae smiled at him gently, "It's alright. I was being taken care of.. " she sighed and smiled at her brother, stepping forward and hugging him around his waist, "Now we can be school mates!" she giggled.

"Oh you're going here now? What about K-"

"She'll be fine. I'll return and take over after a few months but for now let me be a regular high school student hm?" she brightly smiled up at him.

"All right well you two catch up and I'll be right back!" Lelouch called as he smiled happily at the two siblings.

Linamae and Suzaku turned to him and smiled, "Ok!"

Behind Suzaku, Rivalz slumped over in defeat, "My life is over and he's worried about dinner!" Rivalz squatted down to the floor, making the siblings sweatdrop, "Uh.. well Suzaku who's this?" he looked up with a forlorn look and gestured to Linamae.

"Oh, this is a.. childhood friend of mine, Lelouch's, and Nunnally's. Her name is-"

"Rinalin.. Rinalin Ashdown.. or Rina as a nickname" she bowed in greeting as she smiled at the blue haired teen, "I'll be a first year student here at Ashford starting today. My father is a noble and I am the sole heir to the Ashdown line"

Rivalz's eyes widened as he stood up and he bowed, "It's nice to meet you then. My name is Rivalz, Rivalz Cardemonde" his bright smile returned as he grinned at her.

Linamae's smile brightened, "It's nice to meet you Rivalz"

"Let's get going hm? I'll bring you to class" Suzaku smiled as he stepped beside her.

"Right" she nodded with a smile and followed her brother inside the school, but then stopped as a flash came into her eyes, her eyes widening as her geass eye saw Lelouch at the clubhouse.

"Are you alright?" Suzaku asked as he turned to Linamae.

"Huh? Uh.. yeah.. " she smiled again and followed her brother, her geass activating under her bangs as she continued watching.

"Mao listen" Lelouch turned to the table where a half ring of origami birds surrounded a picture of a tied up Nunnally, "C.C. isn't here right now"

Lelouch paused for a while, hearing a reply from whoever was on the phone.. meaning Mao.

"You're somewhere within 500 meters of me….Kh!" Lelouch angrily turned in frustration as he gripped his phone to his ear, "Nunnally has nothing to do with this!" he yelled then hung up after a while taking off and turning to run to the school, looking around for his kidnapped sister.

'Oh no.. it's come.. I have to help but.. ' she turned to her brother slightly, 'Plus I have to let things happen for a bit.. ' she then continued following her brother, her heart rate speeding up in anxiousness.

After school, Linamae followed Suzaku to the student council room, having been invited by the President to be a new member through the phone.

"So you're a childhood friend of Lelouch, Suzaku, and Nunnally? How long have you all known each other?" Rivalz asked, taking a slice of pizza from the box on the long table. He sat accross from Nina as they both ate a slice of pizza. While on the floor Suzaku and Kallen fed Arthur and Linamae watched them as she stood, being questioned by her new fellow student council members.

"About eight years now right?" she asked Suzaku who nodded in response.

"I see. Well according to the President, we now welcome you to the Student Council" Rivalz grinned, then his smile disappeared immediately as his shoulders slumped, "Oh right! What's up with her blind date.. ugh.. " Nina watched him with a piece of the slice of pizza in her mouth.

"Oh and the President did say we were supposed to throw a party for you" Kallen looked up with a smile at Linamae, who smiled back as well.

"Oh there's no need for that" Linamae sweatdropped.

"Of course there is! There's always a party for a new member!" Rivalz practically yelled then walked over and slid his arm across Linamae's shoulders.

"So Rinalin.. who do you have the hots for hm? Suzaku or Lelouch?" Rivalz whispered into her ear.

Linamae blinked in bewilderment as a blush reached her cheeks, "W-What are you talking about?" she half-whispered half-yelled, backing up as she turned to the blue haired teen who grinned at her knowingly.

"Oh? Well what's with that blush hm?" he teased.

"I-I don't- "

"Gah!"

Suzaku's pained yell interrupted their squabble and made them turn to look at him. Arthur had bitten at Suzaku's thumb, "What's the matter? Don't you like your food?" Kallen asked the cat.

"Arthur.. why do you always do this?" Suzaku flinched in pain.

The sound of the door sliding open made the student council turn to him. He entered, breathing hard with a pained face.

'Here we go.. ' Linamae stood up straight with a look of confusion on her face, "Lelouch.. ?"

"Hey Lelouch!" Rivalz raised his hand up in greeting, "Your childhood friend is quite the lady hm?"

Lelouch looked around in frustration, his mind distant from where he actually was. His phone was attached to his ear like an ear piece, "Huh? What?" he continued looking around.

"Mind if I date her?"

"Wh-What?" Linamae blushed looking at Rivalz.

Suzaku chose to ignore it as it might have blown her cover; he pulled his thumb out of Arthur's mouth, "And what about your classes?" he turned to his best friend, "You'd better go t- huh?" he stopped as he saw the look on Lelouch's face.

"Excuse me.. " Lelouch turned to leave, "Oh.. and I'll talk to you later about dinner.. " he eyed Linamae for a few seconds then left out the door.

Linamae blinked for a moment before turning to Suzaku as he stood up, "You think he's gambling again? Huh Arthur?" Kallen asked, picking up the black cat, "Uh?" she looked up as Suzaku stood, a determined look on his face.

Linamae's face turned into a similar expression as Suzaku turned to her. They both nodded once at each other and followed Lelouch out the door, they searched for a bit before spotting him on the floor between the stairs, standing next to the huge window, holding up a white piece of paper and staring at it intently.

"Lelouch.. " Suzaku called out, stepping up the stairs, followed my Linamae. Lelouch jumped slightly and tried to hide the paper, only to drop it in his startled state. He reached down to pick it up but Suzaku had already seen it.

"That's- "

Linamae glared down at the picture, then turned into shock, "N-Nunnally?"

"I thought so.. something's happened to Nunnally.. " Suzaku concluded.

"Lelouch.. " Linamae walked over and kneeled down next to him; she met eyes with him, her expression turning to that of apology. Lelouch shook his head unnoticeably at her, but Linamae continued to look down in apology, 'I'm sorry for not telling you Lelouch.. but I had no choice.. I'll let you think I'm apologizing for not having seen this coming for now. Please forgive me.. ' she stood up once he did, handing him Nunnally's tied up picture.

A/N: Sorry for the late update - It was my birthday = w = 3 kekeke~ Enjoy :
