Hey everyone! Chapter 1 is now ready!

Chapter 1

Since that day, many Japanese lives were changed and destroyed all for the Britannian's gain.

Years had passed since the day Britannia took over Japan and labeled it as Area 11. During one of those years, the Ashfords took in the vi Britannia children and kept them safe from their home.

As Lelouch grew up, he never took off his locket that had a picture of a young, smiling red haired girl with blue eyes.

Part of him hoped that the Kozuki family had survived that day and part of him felt it was a hopeless cause.

One day when Lelouch was in class, he noticed a student that looked oddly familiar to his friend that he met.

As the teacher took roll call, Lelouch couldn't keep his eyes off of the redhead student in his class.

"Lelouch Lamperouge?" the teacher called out.

"Here," Lelouch said in a smooth tone that caused many of the girls in his class to swoon and sigh.

The teacher continued his roll call until he called:

"Kallen Stadtfeld."

'It can't be her, the last name doesn't fit Kally's,' Lelouch thought to himself.

"Here," a soft voice replied.

Lelouch's eyes widen in shock as the voice somewhat reminded him of the girl he missed dearly.

After roll call, the teacher started his 45 minute lecture. During that time, Kallen felt as if she was being watched and gently took out her locket to see a picture of a young black haired boy with violet eyes.

'The name Lelouch sounded really familiar,' Kallen thought to herself as she slightly stiffened in her seat, feeling eyes on her.

She turned her gaze around and in that very moment, violet and blue clashed as memories of a distant childhood flashed before their eyes.

Lelouch slowly tapped his finger twice and Kallen slowly nodded, remembering the sign they made up for "Roof, later". At her young age, she had wanted a different morse code for her and Lelouch and had asked him to tap his finger two times.

'Only Lulu should know that code, so who is he? Does he know Lulu? Did Lulu show him our morse code? Only one way to find out who that boy is,' Kallen thought to herself.

After the lecture had ended, Lelouch calmly walked to the roof as Kallen talked to her Britannian friends then headed to the roof.

Lelouch was the first to arrive on the roof so he walked over and leaned against the railing as he waited for Kallen.

A few minutes later, the door to the roof opened up and Kallen walked over to him.

"Who are you?" Kallen asked warily. "How did you know mine and Lulu's secret code?"

"I could ask you the same thing Lady Stadtfeld," Lelouch stated as he looked at the sky.

There was a tense silence between the two of them as Kallen thought of what she could do to see if this was her childhood friend Lulu.

"A few days before the attack, Lulu and I made a pinky promise. I promise that I will help Lulu fight for justice against his evil fahter," Kallen admitted after a few minutes of being uncertain if she could trust her most valuable secret.

"I promise that I will fight my father with Kally by my side no matter what," Lelouch whispered

Knowing the truth that they were indeed their childhood friend from the past, a small comfort silence had settled between the two before Lelouch turned and gave her a gentle smile.

Kallen smiled and gave him a gentle hug.

"It's so good to see you again Lulu," Kallen whispered softly.

"It's wonderful to see you once again as well, Kally," Lelouch whispered as he wrapped his arms around her, returning her gentle embrace with his own.

They leaned away from the hug and smiled at one another.

"Is...Nunnally here too?" Kallen asked.

"Yes, she is being cared for by Sayoko," Lelouch stated lightly.

"That...sounds like a Japanese name," Kallen said as her eyes narrowed, wondering if her old friend treats the Japanese like the other Britannians do.

"She is Japanese, a ninja to be exact," Lelouch smiled as he thought about the day that Sayako decided to protect him and Nunnally.

"I see. I would like to meet her," Kallen stated in her soft tone

"Of course, my lady," Lelouch said jokingly as he bowed like a proper gentleman.

Kallen giggled in a way that reminded Lelouch of the gentle wind. He slowly lifted his elbow up so he could take her to his home. She smiled and slowly took his offered arm by sliding her hand through and placing her other hand on top of her.

She leaned her head against his shoulder and closed her eyes as Lelouch led her to where he and Nunnally live with their maid, Sayoko.

Lamperouge Residence- Ashford Academy

It took them a while to reach where the Ashfords let Lelouch and his sister Nunnally live. Lelouch took out his key and unlocked the door for himself and Kallen.

"Nunnally! Sayoko! I'm home and I have a visitor!" Lelouch called out as he and Kallen walked into the building, Lelouch closing and locking the door behind them.

A young woman about 5'8 with brown hair and light brown eyes was pushing a wheelchair that had a young middle school girl who had sandy brown hair and closed eyes.

"Welcome home, big brother. Sayoko and I were just making dinner," Nunnally said with her gentle voice as she held her hand out for Lelouch to take.

Kallen let go of his arm and watched as Lelouch walked over to his sister's side and held her hand in a gentle grip.

"Dinner is ready, Lelouch-sama," Sayoko stated as she gently smiled at the children she considered her own.

"Thank you Sayoko," Lelouch said with a smile to the Japanese maidl

"Brother, who is our guest?" Nunnally decided to remind him.

Lelouch looked at Kallen and gestured for her to take Nunnally's other hand. Kallen nodded her head and slowly knelt in front of Nunnally. She gently took the young girl's hand in hers and held it.

"This feeling...these hands," Nunnally whispered softly in shock as she felt Lelouch let go of her hand so she could 'see' Kallen in her own way.

"Hello Nunna-chan," Kallen said in a soft voice.

"Kallen Kozuki," Nunnally said with a soft gasp as the two girl held onto one another as if life had given them the best gift ever.

"Lady Nunnally, Lelouch-sama," Sayoko called out gently, still in the room and waited to be introduced.

"Sayoko, this is an old friend of ours, Kallen Kozuki-Stadtfeld. Kallen, this is our maid and bodyguard Sayoko Shinozaki," Lelouch introduced as both Kallen and Sayoko bowed to one another in respect.

"Come, dinner is ready," Sayoko reminded as she pushed Nunnally's wheelchair to the dining room, Lelouch and Kallen following them.

They looked at the delicious Japanese food prepared by Sayoko as she got Nunnally situated and her plate ready. Sayoko sat beside Nunnally and smiled before lightly feeding her, despite the young girl's protest. Lelouch and Kallen sat beside one another and slowly began to eat their food.

Sayoko had prepared Rice, cooked fish, miso soup and a nice salad with a light soda.

As they ate their dinner, the three of them filled them in on their lives after the invasion of Japan. Nunnally and Lelouch were surprised when Kallen had told them that her birth father had come for her, her brother and mother but was upset to know that only she and her mother had survived. Lelouch's eyes narrowed in slight anger as Kallen talked about how her mom was now a servant and how she has to act like her stepmother is her real mother.

Before they knew it, they had spent so much time together after dinner and evening tea that Kallen realized she had to go home immediately. Due to how late it was, Lelouch offered to take her home, which she refused.

"It's the gentleman thing to do, Kally," Lelouch reminded her.

Kallen sighed and allowed the company since she knew that Lelouch would never stop being a gentleman. They both wished Nunnally a good night before they left.

Since their reunion, Lelouch and Kallen had grown closer and Nunnally saw her as an older sister. Day by day, the three of them had dinner together and talked. Lelouch even told Kallen about his chess matches and the gambling he does with nobles. He introduced her to the student council and told Milly that Kallen was one of his old friends.

As they grew closer together, they began to fall for one another and started going out, much to the happiness of both Milly, Nunnally and Sayoko but the heartbreak of Shirley, who Lelouch never knew had a crush on him.

Lelouch and Kallen would walk around together, holding hands and looking as if they were King and Queen who deeply loved one another.

Thanks for reading! Please review! Author's Note: I know it seems as if i rushed it but I didn't speed up the pairing. It was just one of those "As the days passed" kind of thing that was going on. So Lelouch and Kallen are together because they got closer. If it seems as if I was too lazy or didn't want to expand on their relationship, please know that I write what comes to mind and sometimes the words others think should be in the story and what I plan to write in the story are somewhat similar, I just have a bad time putting it into words.
