Eleventh Step- So she knows.

C.C was leaning into Rai. But all if the sudden, she stopped.
Rai was still standing.
He stiffened his self and asked.
"Why'd you stop?"
"You can get out of there." C.C called.
Two figures were seen.
Kaguya Sumeragi and Kallen Kouzuki
"What are you two doing?" Kaguya furrowed her eyebrows.
"I was about to answer his question." C.C pointed out.
"And it's by kissing?" Kallen said.
"I am not. I was about to tell him but I can feel some presence, some disturbing presence." C.C said.
"Well, ladies…. If the both of you are willing.. then you can know about my past." Rai smiled.
"Oh really? You really are my prince!" Kaguya clinged to Rai.
"Hey. That's too close!" Kallen snatched Kaguya.
"Oh, look who's jealous?" C.C smirked.
"I am not!" Kallen blushed.
"It's going to be a very long conversation." Rai thought.

"Good evening my Lady Enneagram!" Suzaku stood up straight, saluting the tall lady with a light green hair.
"Good evening, are you the devicer of Lancelot?" Nonnette asked.
"Yes I am!" Suzaku said.
"There's no need for you to be formal. Suzaku." Nonnette smiled.
"I see. Thank you very much." Suzaku smiled.
"So, where's the prototype of the Lancelot?" Nonnette asked.
"It was stolen by the Black Knights, in behalf of my team, I am very deeply sorry." Lloyd slightly bowed and joined them.
"Shut it pudding." Nonnette smirked.
"Good evening my lady." Cecile saluted.
"Good evening." Nonnette smiled.
"So how's your research team Lloydie?" Nonnette smirked.
"It's fine. But since the The Club which has been stolen by the Black Knights was improved, we're trying our best to improve ours too." Lloyd said.
"I see, but… you said that many pilots were having difficulties with that knightmare? How can a certain Black Knight pilot one?" Nonette asked.
"Maybe because, they changed the controls.." Cecile answered.
"I see. But isn't it impossible? You reported to me that if you'll change the controls the knightmare will break down?" Nonette said.
"Maybe the devicer is good." Lloyd said.
"There's only one person that I knew who could ride that thing." Suzaku said.
"There is? Is he a black knight? Or a suspected member of that order?" Nonette asked with a sudden interest.
"Oh yes, that friend of yours, but it's too impossible for him. He was there when the knightmare has been stolen." Cecile said.
"You made a point." Suzaku said.
"How about you bring that person to me." Nonette smiled.
"He doesn't want to show himself to any people." Suzaku said.
"But why?" Nonette asked.
"He's still recovering his memories." Suzaku said.
"What are you talking about?" Nonette said.
"You see, Le- my friends found him on the Ashford Gardens, and he lost his consciousness after they met him." Suzaku explained.
"What is his name?" Nonette asked.
"Rai…." Suzaku was cut off when he remembered Rai say something.
"You see, I lied about my name because, I have this feeling that…. I have to hide my identity from the Britannians and the Japanese, but I'm using my real last name here because, I think that I am safe."
"Rai?" Nonette asked.
"That's all I can remember. Sorry." Suzaku smiled.
"It's okay. Bring him here to me tomorrow, and that's my order." Nonette said.
"Yes. My Lady!" Suzaku saluted.

The three of them were still arguing. But Rai stood up.
It took him a lot of minutes to comprehend what was happening.
He's really slow when it comes to girls.
"ENOUGH!" Rai yelled.
The trio stopped.
"Now listen, I only came here to learn about my past, not to learn about some silly love triangle or square!" Rai yelled.
"I'm sorry." Kaguya showed her puppy eyes.
"I apologize." Kallen said.
"Well then, let's take a seat shall we?" C.C led them to a round table outside the headquarters.
All of them sat in the round table.
"Now, Rai. Are you ready?" C.C said.
"I am." Rai said.
"It all started when you were staying in the Imperial Palace, you were 17 at that time and it was 5 months before you were kidnapped. Me and you used to talk in the Gardens every night. You used to sneak out and see me at the gardens, And after that, that's all I can remember.." C.C said.
"I see, so that explains about you and that princess." Kallen said.
"Oh. So your just friends?" Kaguya's smile widened.
"Yep, nothing more nothing else, now please, I need to eat my pizza, Rai follow me, you need to pay for the pizza as a payment for this meeting." C.C grabbed Rai who was still stuck up with his thoughts.
"THAT'S ALL? That's an absurd lie! She didn't even flinch an eye!"

Euphemia was all sad. Thinking of the fact that it will be her last day tomorrow in Ashford.
and there she met again her half brother and sister Lelouch and Nunnally, and she met some new friends too.
She socialized just like any teenagers would do.
But she felt that insane feeling any teenagers would feel this day.
LOVE
Whenever she's with Suzaku and Rai.
She felt her heart beat, like it's the only sound that she could hear.
but that left a huge mark in her chest.
Who would she choose?
Her knight who loves her back.
Or her almost-knight who was kidnapped before she could confessed to him
And that almost-knight who seemed to like her back.
...
"Excuse me." A man said.
"Please come in." Euphie regained herself.
"Ah, Hello brother." Euphie smiled.
"Hello Euphemia." A tall young man said.
"So, what do you want brother Schneizel?" Euphemia asked.
"It's about your stay in the Academy. How was it?"Schneizel asked.
"He's interested in the Academy? But why?"
"Why are you interested brother?" Euphie smiled.
"It's just that, the owner of the school wants me to evaluate on how the Academy was." Schneizel said.
"Oh yes, just like the last time, he evaluated me too."
"The Academy was great, especially the students, I really like their dormitory too, it's so vintage just like the Hodges' estate." Euphie smiled but frowned with her last sentence.
"I see, I'm glad that you could still remember about the estate." Schneizel smiled.
"Of course I do brother, Rai was the first one to beat you in chess!" Euphie exclaimed.
Schneizel smiled at his sister's energy.
"Now sister, tell me more about Ashford." Schneizel said.

"Is it all real?" Rai asked to C.C who was busy munching her pizza.
The both of them are in Rai's quarters.
All alone.
"Of course not." C.C smirked.
"I thought so, now tell me the truth." Rai said in a serious tone.
"You see, you got your geass at the age of ten right?" C.C asked.
"Yes. Then?" Rai asked.
"It is why your parents died." C.C said.
Rai's eyes widened.
"But why kill them when I'm the one who's at fault?" Rai asked.
"It's because, your mother and father kept you from them." C.C answered.
"What do you mean by them?" Rai asked.
"You'll find it out on the future." C.C said.
"She's really hard to talk to." Rai thought.
"Now tell me, how did we meet?" Rai asked.
"Oh yes that, you were still 16 when I met you at the Aries Villa and every night you would sneak out just to see me." C.C smirked.
"I see. Now please tell me more." Rai leaned closer to C.C
The space between them was just 5 inches away.
"When you were kidnapped, I was kidnapped too. But we were hidden in different facilities for 4 months. " C.C continued.
"What do you mean by facilities?" Rai asked.
"It's a- facility where they study the geass." C.C said.
"Oh yes, continue." Rai said.
"And we met after 5 months, you can still remember everything though but they black mailed you. If you'll escape the Britannian will kill all the Japanese, and yes, because of that you stayed and we found our ways." C.C said.
"I see, and after that?" Rai said.
"We've been sleeping on the same bed for 7 months, and oh, we did not do anything wrong we're just sleeping and kissed too." C.C smirked.
"Wait….. Why are we sleeping on the same bed?" Rai asked.
"Oh yes, it's because you need to be energized so that when they experiment you you'll be full of spirit or something like that." C.C rolled her eyes.
"And what exactly is our relationship before?" Rai tilted his head.
"We've been in a relationship Rai, but you broke it all when you decided to forget everything." C.C said.
"But why should I break it all when I'm happy and contented?" Rai tilted his head.
"He didn't change…. He still cares. Too bad." C.C thought.
"You'll find it all out." C.C smirked.
"Wait, they said that I was gone for two years, tell me more about the remaining year." Rai pleaded.
"You were sleeping Rai…" C.C said.
"How did I got out?" Rai asked.
"I don't know." C.C said as she grabbed a new box full of pizza.
"Well that explains everything. Thank you C.C" Rai leaned to kiss C.C's forehead.
"Where are you going?" C.C asked.
"I'm just…. Getting ready for school, see you tomorrow." Rai went out.
Xxxxxxxxxx
"Where are you going?" Kallen asked.
"Oh hello Kallen, I'll be off to Ashford." Rai said.
"But why?" Kallen asked.
"School, I don't want anyone to suspect me." Rai smiled.
"Can I ask you something?" Kallen asked.
"Sure." Rai smiled.
"How did you live in the Imperial Palace? I mean, how the heck did you get in there?" Kallen asked.
The question was still uncomprehensive but he managed his way to answer it.
"It's because my dad is a britannian, and he was friends with the Emperor." Rai said.
"But… what if that princess will tell the emperor that you were still alive?" Kallen asked.
"Don't worry, she's a trustworthy person. Trust me." Rai smiled.
Rai was about to go out when Zero called him through the speaker.
"Rai! Come back! We will need you in this operation!" Zero said.
"Operation? I wonder what it is."
" COMING!" Rai yelled.
