*I hope you all liked the last chapter (of course, I wouldn't know). Things are getting up to some plot twists, and I'm gonna put something in here sometime soon something that you'd NEVER expect. It may be any chapter (including this one), so LOOK OUT FOR IT! Enjoy!*
Chapter 11:
Euphie's POV:
"What's going on?" someone said from out in the hall. I didn't know who it was, but at the sound, I whipped my head around towards the door.
"Someone tell them," said a different voice with a panicked tone.
"Tell them what? We're not even really sure what's going on!" said the other.
"Well, tell them what you think!" said the other, getting mad now.
Then, there was a knock at the door.
"Uh, Who's there?" I asked, just staring at the door.
"May I come in?" asked the voice.
"Uh, sure," I replied as a short person came into the door. "Suzaku, we have a visitor."
"Uh, make that two," said another one, coming in with light gray hair, but not from age. They were tall and lanky, kinda clumsy, but it was in a good way.
"Uh, may I ask your name?" he said, poking his head in behind the short one with the dark hair.
"Uh, Euphie Howazoki, but call me Euphie," I said, reaching out my hand to shake, but instead, he took it and kissed it in a gentleman like manner.
"Who was that you just called?" asked the shorter one with a concerned look.
"Uh, my brother, Suzaku," I said. "What's going on? I couldn't help but over hear you in the hall-"
"Oh, that's what we wanted to tell you," he said, getting an even more concerned look on his face. "Call him again, because we don't wanna repeat ourselves. We just found out ourselves, and we feel that every Japanese should know. Are you an Honorary Japanese?"
"Uh, no, but my brother's Japanese," I said with a smile on my face, but the two of them just looked confused.
"You're not Japanese, but your brother is?" one of them asked, looking at me in confusion.
"Well, obviously, I'm Britannian, but my brother is only my adopted brother. Him and his family are Japanese." I hated lying like that, but Suzaku and I both knew that it was for the better to stay in hiding, though, it wasn't a complete lie. He really is like a brother to me, and his family is Japanese. He practically adopted me when Japan raided us. He's been so kind lately, though, I can tell that something's been on his mind.
"I see," said the tall, lanky, clumsy one, fixing the glasses back into place. "Then, I guess we'll tell you and you can tell him, since he's obviously not here at the moment."
"Well, he should be. He was here not too long ago," I said, confident that he was in his room, watching TV or something of that sort. If not, I hope that he wouldn't be off gambling with Lelouch.
"Well, I'll just tell you anyways," said the short one. "It's a matter of great importance. Viceroy Serena said something about going to the Panama Colonies down south, but she was never found at her destination. No one knows where the Princess is."
"WHAT?" I said, shocked by the news. Serena, Suzaku's sister, was missing? What had happened to her? "What do they suspect happened?"
"Terrorists, supposedly the Golden Resistance," said the taller one. "There's just been so much terrorist activity lately, we just automatically suspect it."
"And how did you come upon this information?" I asked, growing suspicious.
"We over heard some teachers talking. They're wanting to keep it secret from students, but we feel that we should know, and they should be honest with themselves. We all would have found out anyways. News just spreads so quickly around Area 16, well, I guess Britannia to you, Mam," said the Taller one, correcting himself for saying Area 16, though he didn't need to.
"No need to correct yourself like that. I've grown accustomed to being in Area 16. It's no big deal to me," I said with a welcoming smile on my face.
"Er, thanks," he said. "I'm Riko, by the way, and this is my roommate, Tyson. He's half Britannian." He seemed a bit choosy of his words, and he had a nervous smile on his face. He seemed nice, though.
"I'm sorry that we couldn't meet your brother, Euphie," Tyson said. "Maybe next time."
"Yes, I'm sorry, too," I said, growing concerned about Suzaku.
"I guess we better head on and tell everyone else," said Tyson.
"Wait! Is someone else gonna help with being Viceroy, since Serena's gone?" I asked as they turned to leave.
"Uh, Yes. Serena had a talk with her brother, Prince Sirakosue, before she'd gone over to Panama. People say that she's completely lost her mind. This whole thing with Sousuke missing and her going away and turning up missing like this could make her loose her position as Viceroy. People say that Emperor Genbu is gonna make Sirakosue the Viceroy," said Tyson calmly, but he had the same worried face that he had earlier.
"Alright," I said, not too sure about the situation. Something was really fishy here.
"I'll be seeing you," said Tyson, walking out and around Riko.
"Bye," he said, turning around to go with Tyson.
"Bye," I replied, and they were both gone.
Once they had left with the door behind them closed, I walked over into Suzaku's room, and he was no where to be found. Where could he be?
I picked up the phone and called Lelouch, praying that he was gambling instead of doing something stupid. It rang for quite some time, and then, he finally picked up.
"Hello?" he said, answering the phone.
"Lelouch?" I said, thankful he'd picked up.
"Oh, Hi, Euphie," he said calmly.
"Lelouch, is Suzaku with you?" I asked him, very concerned with my fists clenched as I sat down on his bed.
"Uh, no, but why do you ask? Euphie, is something wrong?" He Suddenly started to sound very concerned.
"Oh, not really, it's just, Suzaku hasn't been acting like his normal self lately. He's had mood swings, and he seems like he's got a lot on his mind." My thoughts grew deep at the memory of the four of us, Suzaku, Myself, Lelouch, and Nunnally, all together, looking up at the stars at night. We were so young, and we had the best times together. Then there was when the two of us were together right before the raids from Japan.
"Oh, so, where is he, exactly?" he asked, curious.
"I don't know," I replied.
Omniscient POV:
Suzaku wasn't in his room, but he was off with Kallen, over at the Golden Resistance base, just finding out the information about Serena going missing.
"CRAP!" he said, throwing his fist down on a table in front of just about the whole resistance. "Where did she go? I didn't expect for Sirakosue to come this soon!"
"People thought that she was going towards the Panama Colony, but she never arrived. People are thinking that she's lost her mind," said Naoto, standing next to Kallen. "Are you saying that you expected the Prince to come?"
Suzaku could feel his irritability coming on, and he tried to control it by taking a deep breath. "Sirakosue is one of the main princes. He's cunning and well known for his ability in battle. If Serena's having trouble with the Resistance, then who better to send to help? He's not as obsessed with her younger brother as she is, so the thought of him being lost wouldn't hurt so much."
"But now he's lost both Sousuke and Serena," said Eddy.
"People are pointing their fingers at us, saying that we're the ones that took her," said Naoto as Kallen stood over to the side in deep thought.
"Miss Stadtfeld, what's your thought on all of this?" Suzaku asked her through his Zian mask.
She thought before she spoke. "I think that everything you all say is right, but Eddy has a point. He's lost both of his siblings, and they're thinking to Terrorists, but we only are responsible for one. I think that loosing two of his siblings like that would affect him in some way, unless-"
"Unless he didn't care about them," Suzaku said, thinking aloud, realizing something. "It was Sirakosue who did it! He got rid of Serena!"
"What?" said Adam from the side.
"Why would he do that?" asked Rebecca.
"That doesn't make any sense!" said Naoto.
"Actually, it does," said Kallen, standing up for Zian. "Sirakosue probably wants power, so there's the chance that he would try and get rid of them. It's been known in the past centuries for princes and princesses to try and get rid of their siblings for the throne."
"Also the fact that he obviously doesn't care about the loss of the two of them. He wouldn't be able to function completely right if he did," said Suzaku.
"So, what are we gonna do about that?" asked Naoto, serious looking, mostly in the eyes, but in his expression as well.
"We're gonna hit him where it hurts the most," he said, thinking about a plan of action against it.
"And where's that?" asked Eddy.
"His position of power."
