Lelouch stared out the window of his bedroom. He could do anything that he wanted and yet, he couldn't think of anything to do. He picked up a piece of paper off the floor and opened it. It read:

Dear Lelouch,

Listen. Matsume just wants to use you. I know you'll probably just throw this note away and forget about C.C. and Suzaku. Don't forget them Lelouch. They love you. C.C. especially. She cried for awhile when you left. Shiro told me. Lelouch, don't stay with Matsume. Run away. Go to the Shinjuku Ghetto or something. Matsume just wants to use you and then he'll throw you away. You'll end up dead. Suzaku is nearly dead. I've seen. I'm not going to go to the house. I'm just walking around town. I'll keep you updated. Remember, Suzaku and C.C. love you. They want you to be happy and content. Well, I gotta go. Lelouch, be careful and take care of yourself.

Sayonara,

Ritsuka

Lelouch shoved the note into this pocket and opened the window. He didn't know what to do and he needed time to think. He had the money to get food and everything so, I jumped out of the window and left.

**Nanda**

He had gotten much sleep last night. He had dreamed about Matsume. About how happy him and Matsume had been when Nanda was three. He leaned his head against the table. "I have to go back."

"Back where?" Kagura asked, sitting next to him.

"My home. I can't stand being here in a house with some many people. I have to go back to my house," Nanda whispered.

"What house are you talking about? You live in a dump. It can't even be called a house anymore. There are a lot holes and it's a standing safety hazard," Takara said.

"Here we go again," Angelo sighed.

"Didn't they always used to do this?" C.C. asked.

"That would be a yes," Aero replied, walking around to them.

"Shut up Takara. I had a bad night and don't need any of your crap," Nanda replied.

"Oh? Too scared to fight back this time? Normally you're on me by now," Takara asked him.

"I'm tired and I want to go back to my home and sleep and live there!" Nanda yelled. "I'm tired of living here! I want to sit in my house and be completely and totally alone!"

"Again with this house stuff. Can't we just call it a dump and then talk about?" Takara asked from the couch.

Nanda's eyes flashed red. "Leave me alone!"

"Ooh! Scary! Your eyes flashed red… Lame!" Takara exclaimed with a smile.

"Aren't you going to stop them?" Kagura asked.

"I find it amusing," C.C. whispered.

"As do I," Aero replied with a soft chuckle. "I normally try to stop them before Nanda kills someone."

"Leave my home out of this Takara! I like where I live as you, Aero, Kagura, Tsubasa, and C.C. like where you live!" Nanda yelled.

"Oh shut it. You're just repeating yourself and it's boring me," Takara muttered.

Nanda's left eyes flashed blue as his right flashed red.

Takara grabbed his chest and doubled over.

"Nanda!" Aero yelled, walking over to him.

"Stay out of this!" Nanda yelled his eyes flashing red and blue.

Aero fell to the ground holding his chest. He grabbed Nanda's ankle and pulled him down.

Both of Nanda's eyes flashed blue and he screamed.

"That's not an 'I just fell on my butt' scream. That's a 'one of those things is coming out of me again' scream," Angelo commented.

"C.C., take everyone upstairs. Have Rika keep them all busy. Get some of Lelouch's clothing ready. Also, some of the clothes that came from Rolo and Lelouch being younger and the clothes we have for them when they get older," Aero commanded.

C.C. dragged all of them upstairs.

"Who is it, Nanda?" Angelo asked.

"Euph…emia.…" Nanda whispered.

"Scratch the boys clothes C.C.! Get some of your clothes!" Aero yelled as a pink haired head came from Nanda's stomach.

"I'm kind of stuck upstairs! Suzaku has just woken up!" C.C. yelled.

"Shiro! Go to C.C.'s room and grabbed a pair of pants and a shirt!" Aero yelled up to them as more of Euphemia.

Nanda suppressed another scream of pain. Sweat rolled down his face.

"Take a deep breath Nanda. It's almost over… It's almost over," Aero said in a whisper. He was moving Nanda's hair out of his face.

**Lelouch**

He leaned against a run-down building. He was in the ghetto and had surprisingly spent all day looking for Ritsuka. He had never found him. Lelouch didn't know what to do next. It was as if he wasn't his own person anymore. All hope, love, fear, loss, happiness, hate, and any other emotion had slipped from him. He was an empty shell. Alone and almost dead. He fell against the building and fell asleep.

**Matsume**

"I told you. When we celebrate we are having pizza. NOT caviar. Caviar is gross," Matsume said into the phone. "I don't care what you like! We are having pizza and sodas!" He hung up.

"Sir, we have Lelouch's essence. He has turned thirteen so he is more like himself. The real Lelouch may die. He left your home and is somewhere out there passed out," a teen with brown hair that almost reached his shoulder said bowing. He wore a headband around his forehead like a sweatband.

"Go out and find him! His essence will disappear if he isn't alive!" Matsume roared.

"Yes, sir," the teen whispered leaving.

"Why did I save you? Hmm? Naoto," Matsume whispered.

**C.C.**

She was sitting on the couch with Euphemia.

"I don't understand. I was dead," she whispered.

"No one knows how Nanda makes it happen. It just does," Aero muttered. Nanda had been extremely irritable since Euphemia had come.

"She's not staying here," Nanda whispered.

"What was that? No one heard you Nanda," Takara said from the couch.

"Takara, don't start with this crap again," Aero said walking over to Nanda.

"Come on! One more time!" Takara fake pleaded.

Euphie laughed.

"I know that it's amusing but, try not to laugh. It won't help you get on Nanda's good side," Takara said as Nanda gasped.

"Is something wrong?!" Rika asked, walking over to him.

"Lelouch…in trouble…dying…" Nanda muttered.

"Rika, make sure that Suzaku is kept upstairs. Occupy him with something. Tell him about your day. Shiro, Angelo, and Aero, you all make sure that Nanda doesn't give up keeping Lelouch alive for as long as you can," C.C. ordered.

They all nodded.

Rika ran upstairs.

**Lelouch**

He was walking through pure blackness. He couldn't see anything behind or in front of him. Memories flew below his feet and above his head but, he didn't care. Were they his? Or, were they someone else's? He continued walking and saw a boy with white hair. He looked exactly like Lelouch except for his hair. It was more Suzaku's style.

"Lelouch Lamperouge, Suzaku Kururugi, Lelouch Lamperouge, Suzaku Kururugi…" the boy whispered over and over again.

Lelouch felt compelled to walk up to the boy so he did. "How are you?"

"I am no one of importance. I am a worthless copy hidden deep within you. If C.C., Nanda, Aero, Takara, Kagura, Tsubasa, Angelo, and M get their way… I will never be able to live," the boy said.

"What if I stopped them from destroying you?" Lelouch asked the boy.

"If I come in to the world, eventually, one of us will have to leave," the boy replied.

"Falcon," Lelouch whispered.

"Huh?" the boy asked.

"Falcon's are strong birds, right? Be strong. Remember the falcon," Lelouch said.

The boy let a small smile cross his face.

A gust of wind blew Lelouch into a memory.

**C.C.**

She was driving everywhere around Matsume's house and then circling out from there. She had made it to the Ghetto within twenty-two minutes of searching.

"So, you're the infamous C.C.?" a cloaked figure asked, walking up to the slow moving car.

"Who wants to know?" she asked.

"No one in particular. I'm really no one of your concern," the figure replied.

"He who is no one does not belong," she told him. She smiled remembering what M had told Matsume with the creation of the first Replica.

"I am no one to you. To others I am important," he replied.

"You may feel that way but, the person I am sure you are talking about is just using you if you are what I think you are," she replied.

"Everyone is no one to someone," he whispered.

"There is truth in those words. You and I would have an interesting conversation if we weren't enemies," she told him.

"We would talk for hours, I bet. Coming up with witty things to say," he replied. He smiled just a little.

"See? You and I could be good friends if we weren't on different sides," she told him, turning the car.

"Why don't you join us then?"

"I have lived that life before. I do not wish to go back."

"Matsume isn't as bad as you all make him out to be."

"How so?"

"He just wants Nanda's acceptance. Matsume was frustrated when his father was killed and mad that Nanda had the power to stop it. He now realizes he was wrong."

"Does he? Does he really believe that Nanda is only mad about that? Does he believe that Nanda would be that angry about that?"

"If it is not that, what is it?"

"I cannot say. I don't know myself."

"I'll let you find him. Matsume already has what he needs." The boy left.

"I will bring you back to the right side of life," C.C. whispered to the sky thinking of Matsume.

**Nanda**

Lelouch was safe. Nanda knew that now… He finished writing the little note to his friends. He was going home. His home. The only home he had known since he had first left M's hideout. The note read:

Dear everyone,

I know that I'm supposed to stay here but, I can't do it anymore. I just, I can't be around people. Don't you remember what happened with M made us go to school Angelo? How angry I got? I killed three innocent people! What if I get angry like I did today? Lose control? Kill someone in this very house? I won't be able to deal with the guilt. I can't do this any longer. Takara, you have your quote and I have mine. Life goes by in a flash. If you blink, you may miss your own death. Live life to the fullest, all of you. Takara, you be the hero that you're meant to be. Sayonara…

Nanda stood up and left the house.

**C.C.**

She looked back at Lelouch. He was emotionless. Nothingness…

**five days later**

Lelouch was emotionless. He didn't feel anything. He stared blankly ahead.

"So, I lost my physical abilities and you lost all emotion and your logical thinking. Sucks, doesn't it?" Suzaku asked.

"Yes," Lelouch replied.

"And you haven't even fully grown up yet!" Suzaku laughed.

"Stop laughing," he said, looking over.

"Technically I'm your father until you grow up so I can laugh at you if I want," Suzaku said defensively.

"Do you think that we'll ever be normal again?" Lelouch asked.

"It all depends on Aero, Angelo, Nanda, Kagura, Takara, and Tsubasa," Suzaku replied.

"They really need a group name, don't they?" Lelouch asked.

"Yeah… I wonder what they would make it…?" Suzaku asked no one in particular.

"We still haven't found him! He isn't at his house or anywhere! I'm afraid Matsume got to him!" Aero exclaimed.

"We'll have to wait and see," C.C. whispered. She walked out on the porch. "Nanda, be safe. Be happy. Please, don't do anything stupid."

Well, that's all!!! What did you all think?!?!?! Okay, I'm taking suggestions for their group name!!!! Anybody have ideas??? Oke, now this part is almost over too!!!! I think for the next part I'm going to have Aero, Nanda, Takara, Suzaku, and… another person to be little.

TWO QUESTIONS FOR ALL OF YOU!!!!!!:

1. What do you want the name of the group that M, Aero, Angelo, Nanda, Kagura, Takara, and Tsubasa??????

2. Who do you think the fifth person should be????? I want the next part to be more of a LuluxC.C. thing.

Also, do you think that I should make C.C. get pregnant or do you think that would take away too much of the hilarity?????

Thanks for all your help!!!!! X3
