Chapter 11: Reconciliation

The disturbing sound of Kallen's alarm rang loud into her ear. She anticipated it and slammed it off. Not today! I'm not going to be late today! The thought of being a late again drove Kallen mad. She flew through her usual morning routine and even added a few additions. Today she made her mom breakfast and woke her up.

"You're up already?" Kallen's mom asked, rubbing her eyes.

"Yep! Today I'm not the one who's going to be late. Oh, and don't worry about breakfast I already took care of it."

"You made breakfast too? It's not even my birthday," Kallen's mom joked.

"I can't just make my mom breakfast because I felt like it?"

Kallen's mother smiled. "Of course you can dear."

After she finished the rest of her daily routine, Kallen bolted for the school. This new routine was all to help Kallen's mindset. Lelouch. We will be together, she promised herself, as she walked to school.

Lelouch was already in home room by the time Kallen had gotten there. "Looks like you made it Kallen," Lelouch said with a smile.

"Yea, I tried this thing where I go to bed at a decent hour. It's working pretty well."

Lelouch laughed. Kallen, you are amazing. He eyed her from head to toe. She really was stunning. Lelouch had no idea, but to him it appeared as if it took no effort for Kallen to retain such beauty. The crown prince snapped out of it. "Finish your homework?"

"Of course, silly! The class president has to be on top of these things, you know." She reached down into her shoulder bag and scurried through some folders. Or at least the class president shouldbe on top of these things, she thought when she failed to locate her papers.

Panic began to take hold of her. Her face filled with red shame when she couldn't find it. It has to be in here! I know I put it in here! In a frantic outburst to find her homework, Kallen accidently flung her papers into the air and stumbled backwards. Lelouch sprang forward and caught her in his arms, looking down at her.

Papers were flying everywhere all around them. Kallen paid her floating documents no attention though. She was only interested in one thing. Leaning back in Lelouch's arms she gazed up at his gentle face. Lelouch, you are my world, she thought. Her face began to tingle. It was no longer red because of anxiety, but because of a certain Lelouch.

"Are you okay?" he finally spoke. "It looked like you were about to take a nasty fall."

"Yea, I'm fine thanks to you," she smiled.

Lelouch looked away as he started to blush. "Don't mention it," he said awkwardly. The last of the papers began to fall down when Lelouch looked up and caught today's homework. "Hey look at this," he said, regaining his composure.

Kallen felt relieved and intoxicated at the same time. "Wow, thanks Lucien," she said aloud.

The rest of the class was in complete disbelief. The new guy from the mainland was incredible. He stopped a damsel from falling and he retrieved her homework. The girls especially were going crazy.

"Lucien your amazing!" one screamed.

"You can catch me in your arms whenever you want!" yelled another.

Lelouch smiled and helped Kallen to her feet. "You're welcome Kallen." He proceeded to help her pick up her papers and then sit down for notes.

Maybe I'll wait for just a bit longer, thought Kallen. This is too much fun. She stole a glance of Lelouch during notes and smiled.
_____________________________________________________________________________________

The day progressed fairly normally after homeroom, much to Lelouch's surprise. Normal would require him to do some painstaking task. After a lunch with Kallen and C.C., the trio trekked to the club house for their daily meeting. Everything was going pretty smoothly, until C.C. broke the silence.

"Lelouch, would you mind if I spoke to Kallen alone? I have a few secretary questions I need to ask her."

"And that requires you to be alone with her? Kallen why don't you go get ready for the meeting. We'll be right in," Lelouch spoke with a stern voice.

"O-okay," Kallen spoke timidly. She trotted off and left Lelouch and C.C. alone. Oh no! What's happening?

C.C. looked up at Lelouch with a blank stare. "What do you want?" she said with a snotty voice.

"Why have you been acting so weird? I don't even know you anymore."

"Just leave me alone Lucien!" she said with emphasis. "I have nothing to talk to you about."

C.C. moved to get away from Lelouch and was halted by his arms. He stopped her and pushed her against some lockers. "No. You're not going to walk away from this. You've been different since we split and now whatever it is, it's affecting Kallen."

C.C. grabbed Lelouch's hand and walked him to an empty classroom. She shut the door and turned off the lights. "You broke my heart Lelouch," she finally spoke. Tears welled up in her eyes. "I wanted to be with you forever and you threw it away."

Lelouch sighed. "C.C., we were partners in war, not love. I'm sorry it didn't work like you wanted, but you and me can't be."

"Why not? Why can't we be together?"

"You come from a different time and we want different things in life. There is no since in forcing this to work. Find something else and don't drag Kallen into this. She is happy and she doesn't need to get mixed up in our affairs."

C.C. looked down at the ground broken. Lelouch embraced her in a hug. "I will be here for you as a friend C.C.; I cannot be anything more to you or to anyone. This is my life and I won't be the cause of grief for anyone anymore. I know this will separate me from everyone. But it is like you said, Geass will make you lonely. I accept that, and I will make that covenant to see that everyone is happy. It is the least I can do after the hell that I've caused."

C.C. sighed. His words were the truth, and it was for the best. "I owe Kallen an apology. I used her like I used you. I was just so tired of being let down, I thought maybe…"

"Maybe what?"

"Nothing. I just need to clear up some things with her and treat her better as a friend."

"Good. Can we go to the meeting peacefully now?"

"Yea," C.C. smiled.

C.C. and Lelouch were the last two to come into the student council meeting.

"Took you guys long enough," Gino spoke.

"Yea, where were you guys?" asked Anya.

"Lucien and I just had some things we needed to clear up," spoke C.C.

"Uh-oh!" Gino joked. "The new kids are fiends!"

"Gino stop it!" Kallen commanded. "We need to get to business. I've decided where our little camping adventure will be." Kallen walked around the room and handed out fliers and maps to everyone. "I've found a nice park up north where we can go and spend the weekend. It will be perfect! There's a river for some white water rafting and fishing. Plus there's plenty of wilderness for us to hike through. We just need a couple tents, guys in one and girls in the other.

"Ahh," Rivalz moaned disappointed. "We can't all share one? What if I get cold at night?"

"Then Gino will keep you warm," Anya giggled.

"Haha really funny Anya," Gino retorted.

"Just a couple more days," Kallen continued. "So I expect everyone packed and ready to go Saturday morning. Any questions?" Rivalz raised his hand.

A blank look came across Kallen's face. "Rivalz, you are not sleeping with the girls."His hand fell back to the table and he scrunched his face in disappointment.

"I'll bring marshmallows and chocolate for smores!" Anya announced.

"Great! Well if there's nothing else, you're all dismissed. I'll see you guys later."

The rambunctious crowd got up and departed all except C.C. Oh god, Kallen thought.

"Kallen, we need to talk."

"Are you sure? I think we're doing okay," Kallen lied.

"No, I really need to get something off my chest."

Jesus. Her lust is insatiable. "Wow…C.C. that's-"

"I'm sorry," she yelled cutting Kallen off. "I don't love you like that. I was just confused. I'm sorry if I made you feel awkward and uncomfortable. Lelouch just hurt me was all. I didn't know how to handle it. So, I hope you can forgive me."

Kallen ran over and hugged C.C. "C.C. I'm your friend. And I will always be here for you, just not…like that."

C.C. embraced her and sighed. "I know. It won't happen anymore. I promise."

"Good," Kallen sighed happily.

The club house door opened back up. Oh, boy, thought Kallen.

Lelouch was surprised to see the two cuties holding each other. "Well, this explains a lot."

"Idiot!" screamed Kallen.

"It's not like that!" C.C. assured.

Lelouch laughed hysterically. "I bet," he joked.

The two girls released their hold on each other and drew up their sleeves.

"You'll regret this!" Kallen yelled, chasing after Lelouch with C.C.

Lelouch sprinted for his life. He could barely breathe he was laughing so hard. As he ran he looked back and saw his two friends chasing after him with smiles on their faces. He had never been happier in his life. Nunally, Suzaku, are you watching?
