"To murder a life is to murder humanity. To save a life is to save humanity," Excerpt from the Holy Qur'an.

"Alright everyone. Pack it up. We're done for today. Hip. Hip. Hooray!" Lloyd exclaimed. Suzaku sighed with relief. He could finally get away from his annoying self-proclaimed sociopath of a boss.

"Why don't you go to school, Suzaku?" Cecile suggested. "It's important to hang out with your friends every once in a while."

Suzaku did just that. He hadn't been to the Student Council for a while. While he and Rivalz fucked about, Kallen and Milly discussed what to do with the school festival.

"I want a maid café!" Rivalz said.

Everyone occasionally offered their own opinion. Everyone except Lelouch. He seemed extra quiet. Suzaku felt a little uncomfortable when seeing his friend thinking, knowing that Zero is contemplating how to solve some sort of predicament. Suzaku confronted his friend after school.

"Hey Suzaku. You called me up to the roof. What's up?" Lelouch started.

"I want to know what's bothering you," Suzaku said, earning him a confused look from Lelouch. "Well... I want to know what is bothering Zero. Something has been on your mind, right?" Lelouch sighed.

"I was thinking that maybe I should introduce you to the Black Knights and let them know that you might work under cover for us. Besides, Euphie really wants to see you," Lelouch stated.

"Okay. I suppose you could take me to their hideout," Suzaku said.

"Right. Follow me."

The Black Knights 'hideout' wasn't what Suzaku was expecting at all. A submarine. Here, no one would be able to find them. Even if their position is compromised, there would be no way of knowing whether it's a J.L.F vessel or the Black Knights. Suzaku smiled at Euphie who stood next to Rakshata.

"Introducing the newest member of the Black Knights. Suzaku Kururugi!" Zero stated as he waved over to Suzaku. All of the Black Knights looked at Zero like he was crazy.

"You're kidding!" Kallen exclaimed. Surprisingly, everybody besides Tamaki gave him a warm welcome.

"Suzaku. It's been a while," Said Tohdoh, now a Black Knight along with the Four Holy Swords.

"Yeah. It's great to see you all," Suzaku said, a small grin on his face. He was a little shocked to find out that Kallen is half Japanese, but the news was easy to accept.

"Suzaku Kururugi said that he doesn't want to be deployed into combat because he doesn't want to have to kill, but he will now work under cover for us as a Britannian soldier for the Black Knights," Zero said. "Rakshata can take it from here."

"Thank you, Zero," Rakshata said. "I have developed an important piece of technology combined with the medical field. May I test it on Princess Euphemia?"

"As long as it doesn't harm her, you may," Zero said. Rakshata pulled out a syringe with a strange liquid in it.

"This here, is the Long Range Vitals Monitor. I've developed a way to keep an eye on a persons vitals without any electronics or wires attached," Rakshata said as she rubbed an alcohol swab on Euphemia's arm and inserted the needle. "Her pulse will show on this little communicating device here along with her oxygen levels and blood pressure. We need to know if all the keys to Zero's' entourage are okay at all times. I need to put this in everyone. Think of it like a vaccine. It'll last about a year."

Rakshata did just that, sticking a needle into everyone's arm in a private room, including Zero, C.C, and Suzaku. Is there anything she cannot do?

"With that out of the way, I think it's about time that we start worrying about the next Britannian Commander. He defeated half of the E.U single handedly," Deithard stated, pulling up a picture of a handsome young man with blond hair. "This is Prince Schneizel. From what I hear, he is as every bit as capable a leader and strategist as Zero is."

"What?! As capable as Zero?! That's a whole bunch of bullshit and we all know it! Zero is the man!" Tamaki exclaimed.

"You're wrong, Tamaki. I once met Schneizel at a casino while playing a game of Chess with him. He is an amazing strategist and a noble adversary. You should never underestimate your opponent!" Zero lied.

"Err... Right. Sorry," Tamaki said.

"Schneizel has one simple goal and that is to become Emperor of Britannia. We cannot allow that to happen. It's people like him and Cornelia that ruin the world with their narrow-minded frivolity," Zero said. "Therefore, to draw him out, I want Princess Euphemia to go to Clovis Memorial Art Museum. There, she'll choose Suzaku Kururugi as her knight. During the ceremony, we'll attack all Britannian Knightmares. Schneizel won't be able to stand the fact that someone interrupted an event so important to his siblings. If we can bring him to Japan, we can capture him and get one step closer to freeing Japan and killing Charles zi Britannia! Tohdoh is to lead all ground forces."

"Understood," Tohdoh grunted.

"Are you really okay with this, Euphie?" Suzaku inquired. He and Euphie stood in the backstage. Soon, he'll need to get to the front for his grand entrance.

"Of course. It's Lelouch, after all. I trust him and he has never failed us yet, has he? Besides, I want you to be my knight," Euphie said, blushing.

"And now announcing her highness, Princess Euphemia li Britannia!" Darlton said over the microphone. "Your highness. Please give any of these paintings that Prince Clovis made an award."

Euphemia stood for what felt like minutes as she thought about Clovis.

"I have to say that every painting here is beautiful and I don't know which one to choose, as this was just sprung on me," Euphemia said into the mike as the crowd murmured things such as 'Stage fright? She is still young, after all.'

"Before I make my decision, I have a special announcement to make. Every Prince and Princess is allowed to have a knight to protect them at some point in their life. May I?" Euphie kindly looked towards Darlton, even though she doesn't need permission.

"Of course, my lady."

"Very well," Euphemia sighed. "The soldier I have chosen to be my knight is Warrant Officer Suzaku Kururugi."

The crowd gasped in shock and uppity disgust as the large doors swung open and the renowned 'Eleven' strolled in with a soldiers confidence. As he reached Euphemia, he knelt. In the back of the audience, Suzaku could hear Lloyd yelling 'Good job, you lucky child, but don't forget to use my dear Lancelot and to get me a promotion as well in the science department!'

"This man here is an honorary Britannian and a fine soldier. I have never seen anyone fight as strong and as fast as he has. Suzaku Kururugi, do you pledge your allegiance to me?" Euphie started.

"I do."

"Are you willing to sacrifice anything and everything for my sake?"

"I am."

Before Euphemia could perform the tradition of using a sword to bestow a promotion, the entire building shook. As quick as lightning, five Knightmares burst through the door. Tohdoh's Zangetsu. Five of them are Burai's. One of them more distinct than the others as it had golden horns on it's head.

"Suzaku Kururugi. You're a fool for betraying your country. We, the Black Knights, will not allow this ceremony to happen!" Zero shouted.

"Suzaku! Pilot the Lancelot and defend this place!" Euphie ordered.

"Yes, your highness!" Suzaku said as he used his insane acrobatic skills to jump over the Black Knights and their Knightmares. Suzaku pressed a button on a 'toy' Lloyd gave him, summoning the Lancelot which Suzaku immediately jumped into. The audience watched in awe as he fought off the Black Knights. Despite the desire to say something racist against him, they couldn't deny his skill as a pilot. Unfortunately, a few of the paintings got torn with bullet holes. All according to Zero's plan. The battle ended as quick as it started.

"There is no way that Prince Schneizel will be able to ignore this. Not only did we succeed in our goal, but we also vandalized a few paintings his brother Clovis made. You really know how to draw out the white queen in hopes of calling a quick checkmate, don't you Lelouch?" C.C said. The two of them walked to school the next day, hand in hand.

"It's my way of getting back at my father. He'll know that there is someone who hates him once his children are being captured one by one," Lelouch said proudly. "Let's not go to class today, shall we? Follow me. I have something I want to show you," Lelouch said, pulling her into the elevator he and Suzaku used to find Nunnally.

Arriving at the location where their previous predicament occurred, two things changed. First of all, the bomb that was suspended in the air above the platform where Nunnally was held hostage is no longer there. Secondly, there is a table sitting off to the side of the entrance. On it sat a few boxes of 9 mm rounds and a standard issue Britannian pistol along with ear protection.

"I am going to teach you how to shoot a gun, C.C," Said Lelouch. C.C frowned.

"But I already know how to use a gun."

"Really? Then show me how to take it apart," Lelouch said.

C.C smirked as she walked up to the table and picked up the weapon and started the procedure. Releasing the slide off of the body and taking apart the spring, C.C proudly set the parts down on the table.

"Okay. That's the easy part, but can you show me if you can put it back together?" Lelouch suggested.

"Err, sure! Just need to put this where it used to be..." C.C said as she put the spring in the slide. Loading the slide onto the gun, C.C was about to brag when the slide suddenly flew off. Lelouch sighed.

"Come on. I'll teach you everything I know," Lelouch started. "If you knew how to shoot, you would most likely know how to take apart the gun and put it back together. It's necessary to do this in case the gun jams which means that it isn't clean or lubricated enough on the inside."

"Right! C.C, what do you think is the most important step when learning how to shoot a weapon?"

"Safety?" C.C answered.

"Correct! Safety precautions are extremely important. Show me how to you would put the gun down on the table."

C.C placed the pistol on the table, the barrel facing forward.

"Good. It's always important to know where other people around you are and if your finger is on the trigger. Show me how you would pick the gun up."

C.C grabbed the weapon and pulled it up to her nose, the barrel facing the ceiling.

"Excellent. Now that you know the safety precautions, let's begin shooting practice," Lelouch said as he walked towards the platform and placed a target on the wall.

After about an hour of shooting practice and a few magazines with several breaks, Lelouch decided to call it a day. C.C managed to hit the target after a few misfires and even got a couple bulls eyes.

"How do your arms feel? Pretty sore, huh?" Lelouch said as he gently massaged his girlfriends shoulders. She chuckled.

"Why did you need to teach me how to shoot, Lelouch?" C.C asked. Lelouch sighed.

"Because I do not want another incident like what happened with Mao."

"You were that worried about me?" C.C teased, smirking. Lelouch blushed.

"I-uh... Whatever." They got off the elevator and headed to the student council room.

"Fireworks!" Shirley exclaimed as Lelouch and C.C walked in, earning her perplexed looks. "We need lots of fireworks!"

"What are you guys talking about?" C.C addressed.

"The school festival," Milly stated, an excited smile on her face. "We want to do something on our own too instead of having to run the whole show all the time."

And they did. After announcing the beginning of the school festival, the student council went on to have their own fun. At the end of the day, Lelouch and C.C felt exhausted, but happy.

"Lelouch. Can I sleep with you tonight?" C.C asked as they walked towards their on campus dormitory.

Lelouch agreed and let C.C do as she wishes.

...

Lelouch felt her arms drape around him as he stared at his laptop screen while at his desk. Her soft bosom pressed against him. Lelouch tried to concentrate on his work.

"What are you doing? I have work to do. The Black Knights need a proper hierarchy in case something happens to Zero and I can't think while you're this close to me," Lelouch stated. C.C smirked.

"It's my job to annoy you, Lelouch. I am your girlfriend, after all. Can't you give me a little attention once in a while?" C.C said with over dramatic sarcasm.

"C.C..."

"What's wrong, darling? Are you not man enough to handle a touchy woman?" C.C teased.

"Wha-! Shut up! This has nothing to do with my comfort bubble!" Lelouch defended, his face bright red.

"Oh really?" C.C straddled his lap. "You're so fun to mess with, Lelouch. It's adorable how easily flustered you get. Let's test your limits now, shall we?"

(Lemon Warning)

She placed her hand on his area, immediately squeezing him. Lelouch tensed up.

"AH! Hey! Your being way too hasty!"

"Don't complain, Lelouch. This is what you get for starting a relationship with someone you ignore," C.C said, grinning flirtatiously. Lelouch narrowed his brows.

"Then you wouldn't mind if I return the favor now, huh?" Lelouch said as he groped her breasts, earning him a groan from C.C.

"Oh my. Did I elicit a reaction just now from you? How bold of you Lelouch!" C.C teased.

"Shut up, witch!"

He kissed her passionately. Her taste and smell was so intoxicating. Lelouch couldn't stand it. He wanted her.

C.C's hand unbuttoned and unzipped his pants, sliding them down along with his underwear to reveal his member.

"My. My. Aren't you anxious!" C.C stated. Lelouch grunted as she began jerking him off.

"It's your fault for giving me a hard on, y'know! I can't control the way my body reacts to a girl who has no sense of personal space! AH!" Lelouch complained, but immediately shut up as she began sucking him off.

"You taste nice," C.C said she licked the tip. While doing this, Lelouch began undressing her shirt and playing with her boobs.

"And you feel nice. What cup size are you? C? DD?" Lelouch teased. C.C frowned.

"I'm a D cup. Thank you very much," She said, blushing.

"No need to get embarrassed now. I think they're perfect," Lelouch said as he got her shorts off along with her panties. He smirked when he noticed the pink panties. 'Pink? How cute,' Lelouch thought as they headed for his bed.

"It's my turn now," Lelouch said, an evil grin on his face as he spread her leg and began licking her pussy. C.C moaned. His tongue danced over moist womanhood. He licked and sucked faster every time she moaned. Suddenly, Lelouch stopped licking and instead pulled her into his lap.

"Let's hold off on climaxing just yet. Do you think you can last much longer or was I too amazing?" Lelouch teased.

"We'll see, Lelouch. If you orgasm before me, you are buying me Pizza for every meal for an entire week. Deal?"

"You're on!" Lelouch agreed as he slowly inserted her. Careful not to hurt her, Lelouch let her take control as she grinded her hips against him. Lelouch let out occasional grunts as she let out frequent moans.

"You can help me out too. I am not that fragile, Lelouch," C.C challenged.

"Hmph. Okay," Lelouch said, letting his sex drive take over as he grabbed her thighs and began increasing the tempo, his already wet penis felt like it was going to burst. 'Yes! He took the bait!' C.C thought as her mouth watered over the thought of Pizza.

It didn't take long for him to hit full throttle as he fucked her hard. C.C screamed in pleasure while Lelouch's grunts reached a crescendo as he came. After 30 seconds of euphoria, Lelouch's eyes widened.

"Wait, what? No!" He exclaimed. C.C smiled a devious smile as she gazed into his violet eyes, her breath tickling him.

"Yes. I win the bet. You know what this means, right Lelouch?" She said his name with a really sweet tone.

"I swear that you'll make me go bankrupt someday," Lelouch said. C.C giggled as she lay her head next to his.

"I love you too."

Meanwhile in another world, a man dressed in very fashionable clothes closed the distance between himself and another man.

"Your majesty. V.V sent the assassin you requested," The man whispered, stepping aside for another the other figure to become visible in the Emperors peripheral field of vision.

"You are Rolo Haliburton, the assassin I requested, are you not?" Charles said.

"Yes. To what do I owe the pleasure, your majesty?" Rolo asked, kneeling.

"Rise. It is about time that I make my move against Zero. Your orders are..."

Suzaku was suddenly summoned to the air base on Shikinejima. He had no idea why though. All Cecile told him was that it's an urgent matter. Bartley and the other Generals left the room where Suzaku was instructed to go to. A room right next to the Air Traffic Control room, which is run by lower ranked soldiers. It was more of a private observatory whereas the Air Traffic Control room is sealed off by glass and a door to his left. Odd...

"You're Suzaku Kururugi?"

Suzaku looked to his right to see a Britannian boy with rather flashy clothing. Almost as if he is...

"Ah! Forgive me, my lord!" Suzaku said, kneeling.

The next thing he knew, Suzaku somehow ended up hitting his head on the glass wall behind him.

"I am Rolo Haliburton and I am the Knight of Eleven."

"How... How did you-"

"Do that? I have Geass, Suzaku. My Geass can stop time."

Suzaku didn't want to question him. He wanted to ask what other types of Geass powers there are besides absolute obedience and freeze time, but he kept his lips glued. Rolo pulled him up by his hand.

"We have our orders, Suzaku. Our mission is to discreetly infiltrate this city," Rolo said, pointing at a giant world map on the wall to the right.

Suzaku's eyes widened.

"What? But that's the Chinese Federation! Are we trying to start war between Britannia and the Chinese?"

"No. Not with Britannia, but with the Black Knights," Rolo said, tossing Suzaku a Black Knights uniform.
