AN: Well this was unexpected, this was just an idea that was in my head after reading some Lelouch is back fanfics. I'm probably going to add lemon spinoffs later after I've got more plot down and then we can get to the fun stuff. Thx to BlackTyrantValvat who gave me some tips on getting started. Check out his profile he's got some brilliant stories on there. And now back to Not Quite to Plan.

Lelouch was floating. The Requiem couldn't have gone much better than it did. His only regret was that he had to watch Nunnally and Kallen cry. Two of the most important people in his now former life. He wished that they didn't cry, they were the ones that deserved happiness the most. 'Kallen...' Lelouch though with a sad sigh, she truly was everything he could have wanted. Passionate, beautiful and intelligent all rolled into one girl, it truly was a challenge not to show any emotion when she kissed him at Ashford, and then seeing the disappointment when she broke off in her eyes nearly caused him to break down and confess it all to her. But he endured, through all the hate and agony he caused.

Lelouch wondered why his suffering was taking so long to come. Surely he had earned the spot as Lucifers personal torture toy for the seas of blood and rivers of tears he had spilt? 'Well at I have set the world on a path of peace' Lelouch though contentedly as he drifted through the clouds of what he assumed was C's world. He wondered about what C.C was doing briefly before making the most probable assumption that she was finding a new contact holder, preferably a pizza chef.

After a few more moments of drifting, he felt a slight jerk in his perceived direction of movement. Moving to the right toward what he could make out as a thought elevator. Deciding he had no say in the matter he let himself be pulled toward it. As he approached the gate started to glow an all too familiar geass red. Bracing himself for impact Lelouch tapped the gate and lights exploded around him before going to a dark and Lelouch went unconscious from the energy released from the gate.

He slowly came back to consciousness to the sound of cheers and yells. What was going on? Were the demons of hell this happy to see him? Slowly Lelouch opened his eyes and say a beautiful azure sky. There was no way that spectacle could be in hell. He slowly raised himself and saw that he was in the spot where he last saw his dear sister. 'Ah shit' Lelouch thought as people started to try and climb barriers preventing them from getting to him.

Lelouch heard sobbing to his left and turned his head to see his sister sobbing, waiting to embrace him. Deciding to play along until he could understand what was going on he opened his arms and Nunnally instantly threw herself into his arms:sobbing relentlessly and subsequently increasing the crowd's cheers.

He looked up questioningly into the familiar mask of Zero, the blank face that haunted and comforted him at once in his dreams. A constant reminder of what he was leaving behind and what it was all for. All he got was the familiar sign of 'Later' and 'Roll with it' from the dictionary of sign language he and Suzaku painstakingly perfected. Zero then called out the crowds on a microphone used for speeches. "People of Brittania! I believe that Emperor Lelouch would wish to readjust to being alive and be informed of the events that have transpired here!"

The people unanimously decided to leave their hero alone until he was ready to speak to them. Lelouch nodded his gratitude to Suzaku and spoke with a slightly dry voice "I guess the requiem didn't go quite to plan old friend?" All the while holding his sobbing sister. Suzaku barked out a laugh and spoke in a warm tone"Well it appears so, let us get inside and get you up-to-date and what went wrong. Also, would you let Kallen join us? It appears that she is about to rip the metal of her bindings and smother you into the ground." Lelouch turned to see that indeed Kallen looked ecstatic and apoplectic at the same time."Everyone,as it seems my plan has been derailed I will now take steps to dismantle the remnants! I, Lelouch Vi Brittania commands that all members of the Black Knights be freed!" He called to the crowds to their ecstasy and the Black Knights relief, as they thought he would still punish him for the betrayal. "Also, Kallen Kozuki will accompany me and Zero, as it appears she is quite eager to maim or hug me right now." He added jokingly as an afterthought to the crowd's laughter and catcalls, or in Kallen's case embarrassment. After the Black Knights were freed Jeremiah intercepted Kallen and guided her to the transport for Lelouch, Zero, and Nunnally, partially to stop his lord from being maimed and to have a chance to talk to his lord again.

As they approached the transport where Lelouch was Kallen broke off from Jeremiah and sprinted for it. She jumped into the van and subsequently launched herself at the recently Nunnally free Lelouch. She held onto him and proceeded to kiss him furiously. Slightly stunned and more than willing to reciprocate. Lelouch did everything he wanted to do at Ashford and kissed back with the same amount of passion.

After another minute, they heard a cough and saw Nunnally blushing and looking away while the now revealed Suzaku looking at them with a smirk and Jeremiah holding his hand to his mouth as he laughed. Blushing furiously Kallen broke off the kiss but proceeded to seat herself in Lelouch's lap.

"While I'm sure you two would be happy to continue to treat each other's mouth as an ice-cream we do have a schedule to keep," Suzaku said with a grin. Laughing nervously Lelouch readjusted himself so he had his arms around Kallen's waist.

Making a signal to the driver Jeremiah strapped himself in just as the transport started to move towards the palace.
