I'M BACK! If you missed me gimme a good long review. If you didn't, screw you, stop reading my story! ;P

Now, why was I away for so long you ask? A whole month if fact? A whole list of items. Now I will give you my reasons, but first of all, does it matter now? I'll try not to let this happen again, but no guarantees. Now my reasons.

First, I had math camp for a few days, therefore no Internet.

Second, I started work and had to go through interviews and crappy paperwork even though everybody knew I was going to get hired.

Third, my stupid and absolutely retarded mother 'accidentally' canceled our phone and Internet service for a whole fucking two weeks! Can you all believe how terrible that is? No phone, no Internet, no nothing! Absolutely a nightmare. Let's add the fact that I was counting on doing ALL of my school homework the last week of break...only to have no Internet at home!

Fourth, GUH! I started school again...Guh!

Fifth, my Nana fell (she's over eighty years old and that's bad!) and had to go to the hospital. So everyday after school or work, I go over to her place to help with supper and the like. Also, she has no Internet.

Sixth, I didn't pay attention the first week of skewl and now have a D in AP Calc BC, a C in Physics, a B in AP US Gov, and yeah...

THEREFORE, LET IT BE RESOLVED that this was not at all in Sierra's hands. Not at all. Just the evil Fanfiction-hating demons out there.

Anyways, math camp was fun, skewl is disgusting, work is tiring, and I love my computer. Even if it hates me and is slow and has AIDS and all that wonderful shit.

ANYWHOO, this chapter is dedicated to Teucrian, the spotlight-hog, who rightfully had to wait several weeks for this next chapter dedicated to him/her. Sorry, I'm not good with distinguishing genders, unless you're naked. And even then sometimes...

^^ I own nothing. Except the part where I typed this up. I think I'm entitled to that.


Cera drifted throughout time, never changing in an ever-changing world...

It was in the early 1600's of the a.t.b. calendar. Denmark. Witch hunts everywhere.

"In here child." The haggard old woman beckoned. C.C. looked at the old crone. Wispy and balding grey hair, squinting hazel eyes, few teeth left in her mouth, papery skin, a bad back...the woman smiled, showing her three remaining rotting teeth. She stood under a rotting hut, not ten miles from the site of the burnings.

C.C. shivered. She remembered the sensations of being burnt alive. It was worse when it took your body forever to register that you were incredibly hurt and mock the symptoms of death.

"That's alright, madamoiselle." C.C. waved her hand, like a carefree little lass. "I would prefer the war out here, than the hellhole in there."

She turned around. The hag had disappeared. A beautiful dark-haired woman stood in her stead. As expected.

"Morrigan." C.C. smiled humorlessly.

"C.C." The raven-haired 'witch' smiled back with the same love. She was taller than C.C., fuller...more curvaceous, just as beautiful, dangerous and sly. She spoke with a slight French accent. "How nice to see you again. It's been so long since you left me all alone back in Marseilles."

"It couldn't be helped."

"Oh but it could've," Morrigan countered. "After all those good times we shared with His Lordship Cartier...you just walked out on our little...'relationship'."

C.C. looked into Morrigan's sharp green eyes. No warmth could be derived from those frozen emeralds.

"Why did you come here, Morrigan?" C.C. asked. "You've always liked warmer climates, and never played the role of an ugly old hag."

Morrigan laughed, an addicting sound that made you want to join in. "For the irony of course. Denmark is painted red with the flames that lick the bodies of those little girls. And yet nobody here even suspects the one true witch in the entire nation. I found it most amusing."

"And did you plan on finding me here?" C.C. continued. She looked sharply at the shapeshifting witch.

"No." she admitted. "I just wanted to have fun. When you disappeared...well, things were less fun, but I was the one truly in control. It was different but nice."

"And now?" C.C. looked towards the smoke in the distance. Screaming could be heard.

"Now what? Would you like to spend the night?" Morrigan asked coyly.

"Why not-"

"ZZZzzt!"

"And it looks like they're finally beginning to get things cleaned up at the Lake Kawaguchi convention center hotel. It's been over two weeks since Zero announced the existence of the Black Knights and yet they still haven't found any definite evidence on him."

"Didn't they track his escape route?"

"After the release of the hostages, they escaped using a rail line on the opposite shore. On that note, several incidents linked to the Black Knights and therefore Zero have occurred since then. Starting with the murder of Countess Elisaveta, who's case is now under scrutiny over the number of missing girls, Britannian and Elevens, that have gone missing in her lands, to the bloody massacre of a collaboration of local Britannian gangs..."

C.C. reached over the bed and turned off the radio alarm. Another dream of the past. How annoying. Lelouch was already up. Although the youth had been rather embarrassed and angry at her for sleeping with him, it had become a rather regular thing for him to go to bed first and then she would curl up next to him. Sometimes, when the prince was very tired after a Black Knights mission, he'd collapse in bed next to her, despite all his curses and threats the next morning.

In a way, it all made sense. She was tired after all these centuries of loneliness stemming from lies, love, hate, and always death. He was tired from assuming the parent role for Nunnally, although he would never admit to it. She liked to hold things while she slept to keep. He was deprived of the warmth from his mother and father. The two could argue and embarrass each other as much as they wanted in public and private. But each night, it all ended the same. They slept together, not for the intimacy but simply for knowing that there was somebody there next to you at your most vulnerable moment.

Or maybe she was kidding herself and Lelouch was simply a horny teenager like any other boy who had grown to like the idea of having a woman in his bed. And a gorgeous one at that.

"Hmmm..." C.C. surveyed the room. Lelouch had already left. Time to go shopping with Milly, it seemed.


The Stadtfeld Household...

Kallen lay face-down in her room. She was pooped from last night's mission in stopping some corrupt bastards from using the welfare money meant for Elevens on themselves. They had gotten a lot of funds, which was good, but she got back home so late. Zero really needed to stop planning things before school days.

"Hmm? What's this? You're finding the worthless school of the Britannian bastards to be more important than saving your own people?" Kallen muttered to herself.

Crash!

"Not again..." she gritted through her teeth. Kallen got up, reluctantly, and put on a bathrobe.

Outside her room, to nobody's surprise, her moth-, no, that clumsy maid had broken something, again.

"Again?" Kallen demanded, rhetorically as she surveyed the broken crystal chandelier.

"I'm sorry. The ladder broke." Tsukiko answered.

"Get it cleaned up quickly. I have to leave for school soon." Kallen ordered. She headed back into her room, a rock in her heart.

"My lady, you've been going to school a lot lately. Have you been making many friends?" Tsukiko asked smiling.

"I don't see how that's any of your business!" Kallen nearly screamed as she slammed her door. Inside her mask of anger faded, replaced with face of pain. "Please...just...go."


Later in the day...

Kallen yawned, her head swimming from fatigue. She had fallen asleep in class. She'd never done something like that before! How embarrassing. But she was too tired to care.

"Man...living a double-life sure is tough..."

"C'mon Suzaku! Gino! Hold him down!"

Kallen surprisingly heard Shirley's commanding voice through the door.

"Eh?"

"Dammit Suzaku! Cut it out!"

Lelouch was pissed. Kallen suddenly felt a subtle curiousness settle in her. She stepped forward causing the doors to slide open.

"Stop it! I demand that you stop!"

Lelouch was bound to a chair...with ropes.

"Sorry Lelouch. It's the president's orders." Suzaku answered.

Kallen suddenly noticed that everybody was dressed up. Nina was in her usual spot by the computer, wearing a tiger hat? Milly was of course wearing a very revealing black and pink cat costume. Shirley's was cute, but much more conservative. Kallen wasn't sure if C.C. was wearing much at all. And Gino, Suzaku, and Rivalz were dressed in large cat costumes. Everybody wore face paint. Anya and Nunnally were probably making their way down from the middle school section.

"I see you laughing at me, you bitch!" Lelouch shouted at C.C. She sniggered. Her costume was a white and black cat costume that consisted of a tail on a corset with high boots and stockings connected to a carter belt.

"Quit moving!" Shirley commanded. She was putting make-up on his face.

"Meow-ning." Milly waved a paw at Kallen.

The red-head blinked. She was Alice and she had fallen into this big hole of weirdness.


There we go! My first chapter in a long time. Sorry for the wait, all you loyal readers! And it's actually a lot shorter than I had hoped for but I just got into a fist fight with my retarded sister and my mom is screaming in my ear. So I will try to get part 2 up in a week, rather than the traditional two week wait. But please be patient with me. It's my Homecoming week this coming week-end!

Let's see...so Morrigan was obviously copied a bit from Dragon Age. Of course this Morrigan is actually slightly nicer than the one in the RPG. And just as a fun spoiler, she's also the predecessor of a current person with the Code. Not naming anybody here. Nope.

Anyways, I have something sort of important to say. I just recently watched Code Geass 'The Miraculous Birthday'. It's on Youtube in subs if you haven't seen it. Basically it's Sunrise's proof that Lelouch's dead. It starts out really silly, and I rolled my eyes several times, but the end was very touching. So watch it if you haven't, then we can continue this discussion down here.

My first poll in a long while is regarding Kallen's background. With Kallen's mother being caught using the illegal drug, Refrain, it seems most obvious that her father should return, at the very least to keep his name from being tarnished. Now a lot of you have wanted me to move the fucking plot on it's feet, but I love background stuff. Therefore I will have a poll. The options are whether you want the story to move, if you want a chapter where Kallen deals with her father (with some canon stuff going on as well, of course).

Oh and one last thing. I know, I know, I haven't updated the one-shots in forever. Bite me. Now I have a few scenarios I'm contemplating, but the two that I find most interesting right now are the Loli-orgy or one in C.C.'s past with Morrigan and their Lord Cartier. The fun part of the latter one? Morrigan's a shape-shifter, remember? ;P

SPOILER FROM HERE ON, DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE PICTURE DRAMA YET AND DON'T LIKE SPOILERS!

So as you all should know, Lelouch comes back from the dead to have one more silly adventure with his friends, including the deceased Shirley and Rolo. He wants a final word with those he deems his closest friends (although I'm pissed Euphemia didn't come back as well) and Nunnally. Once again, Sunrise impresses me with how well they present the work to invoke passionate responses in myself. I basically cried like a baby, but that's besides the point. The point is that I wrote this story for Lelouch and Euphie to live. For 'Happily Ever After...or something like that' to exist. Now the creators are disputing me with the fact that Lelouch needed to truly die in order to atone for his sins. My argument is that by avoiding these sins in the first place, even if the deaths of many are on Lelouch, he needn't die. The true turning point for Lelouch was when he ordered Euphie to kill all the Japanese they had been trying to save, and then killed her.

Here, Euphie lives. Killing people is bad yes, but you need to destroy in order to create. Therefore Lelouch's soul isn't ripped in half as it was when he killed Euphie. Suzaku doesn't hate him, and Cornelia has more reason to sympathize with him. His life doesn't just keep going down the drain, and he doesn't have to bear the burden of guilt for corrupting and murdering his gentle half-sister.
