So the winner is how Tohdoh and Amaya met!!!

btw, i got a review bout how they didn't like how amaya and lelouch loved eachother from the first moment...

Thats not true.

When they first met, Lelouch was nervous about meeting her, and immediatly loved her (but was not in love with her), as she didn't seem like the rest of Euphie's friends, and he loved her almost like a sister from when they met, and Amaya loved him like a kind of brother, and she wanted to be a real friend to him, like her mother said, and that's what got Lelouch to love her, but not the 'in love' with her that grew as they got older.

So, they were not IN LOVE when they first met, but i mean come on, when they met, there had to be a certain...oomph, shall we say?

nyways,

enjoy this chapter!"

Kyoshiro Tohdoh would forever remember the day he met her. The day he would meet someone who was the complete opposite of himself, so warm, bright and confident. Yet, at the same time he recalled, was also impossibly stubborn, impulsive, and a magnet for trouble.

Yet, whatever situation she got him into, she could always make him forget his anger by her smile. So bright, her eyes shining with assurance, that soo, he would find himself smiling lightly.

And, of all places, he met her in the Garden of her family home in the Spring. Her favourite season, he would always remember.

Kyoshiro had just moved to Chûbu region of Honshu, just near Mount Fuji, with his father, General Tohdoh, one of the Fujiwara's most trusted and honoured Generals. So trusted, that the Fujiwara himself, offered the Tohdoh family near their Base, as a sort of extra protection for his family, after another high Britannian conflict arose.

Of course, his father had immediately agreed, and he, his father and mother had moved from their home in Nagano.

It cannot be said though, that Kyoshiro was fully willing to leave his friends, school and life behind nhim at the age of 10. However, he was quickly very willing when he heard he would meet the Fujiwara himself, with his parents.

He would always remember walking through those great gates, Mount Fuji dominating the view from the house, gardens in the Spring blooming all around them as they reached the main home, a home that had rivalled the Imperial Palace of Kyoto, it was said.

Kyoshiro had gaped in shock at the home, as they passed through, careful not to touch or break anything within his reach, anticipation building in him as his father explained they would meet the Fujiwara in the gardens.

Kyoshiro's eyes widened as he saw the main gardens. Sakura trees blossomed in the courtyard, petals falling into the small Koi ponds dotting the main courtyard, various bridges and stone paths winding through it, and right in the centre of a particularly large pond, was a small dining area, a small table placed under a traditional Japanese guilded roof.

Kyoshiro felt himself nearly shaking as his father led them to it, as he anxiously looked himself over for meeting the Fujiwara, one of the most, if not the, most respected man in Japan. Although not as respected like the Emperor, the Fujiwara were seen as the Protectors of the country, the Emperor's sword.

His eyes widened as they came closer, and he saw the Fujiwara, sitting upon a chair, tea before him. He wore the Military clothes befitting his station, and Kyoshiro saw the famed sword, the Ken no Kouji, resting from his belt. And on his lap…

Kyoshiro's eyebrows rose as he saw a girl, no older then 8 or 9, staring at him, wearing a green skirt, and a dark blue top and sandels, emerald eyes framed by midnight hair gazing at him questionably as she sat on the Fujiwara's lap.

The Fujiwara grinned at them, placing the girl off his lap as he stood, Kyoshiro's father instantly bowing his head in respect, immediately followed by Kyoshiro himself.

"Rise, General Tohdoh!" the Fujiwara smiled, motioning for them to rise. Kyoshiro hesitantly obligated, immediately meeting the curious girl's eyes again. "General, is this your family?" he beamed as he looked them over, Kyoshiro hating himself for finding himself blushing, as his father nodded,

"Hai, Fujiwara Ouji-sama. This is my wife, Kaiyo, and my son, Kyoshiro." He nodded, smiling as he bowed his head politely to Kyoshiro's mother, stating,

"I hope you'll forgive me, my wife would be here to meet you, however, she was called away on business." Kyoshiro's mother nodded as she responded promptly,

"Hai, I understand, Fujiwara Ouji-sama." he smiled as he turned his gaze onto Kyoshiro, as he smiled,

"Ah, Kyoshiro. You must be 10, yes?" Kyoshiro nodded, unable to speak as he continued,

"Meet my first daughter, Mai Ojou-sama." at this, he placed a hand on the girl's shoulder, as he added, "She will be 10 within the month." the girl, Mai, or the young Lady of the Household, the Ojou-sama, beamed as she stepped forward.

"Do you want to be friends, Kyoshiro-kun?" Kyoshiro blinked at the sudden request and friendly honorific, and thrown off by her beaming smile, daring him to deny her.

"Um, well, of course, Ojou-sama..." he nodded, as she jumped, clapping as she turned to her father,

"Otou-san, can I show Kyoshiro-kun around the garden? I'll show him the violet Mai blossoms!" her father sighed as he joked, as she waited expectantly, "As long as you come back in one piece!" as he nodded.

Beaming, and without warning, Mai Ojou-sama took hold of Kyoshiro's hand, suddenly sprinting from the dining area, towards the sakura blossoms.

"Come on, Kyoshiro-kun!" she beamed, as she turned to him, him staring at her as her eyes shined in the sun. "Let's explore!" Kyoshiro fumbled for words, as he only nodded, answering,

"Hai, Ojou-sama!" the girl laughed as they plunged into the pink blossomed trees, as she called,

"Kyoshiro-kun, call me Mai!"

That was one thing Tohdoh Kyoshiro could never do for Fujiwara Mai until the age of 16.

Even after they became 'Partners in Crime', although it would be more accurate to call them 'The criminal and the one-who-was-dragged-along'.

Even after two years of living near the Fujiwara, when his father died in action, and he spent more time then ever in the comfort of the Fujiwara stronghold, training to be like his father, and protect Japan, as well as the Fujiwara. But deep down, he knew he was really doing it to do as he always did.

To protect and fight for his Ojou-sama.

Even after her death.

For he was reminded of her every time he looked into her daughter's same, mischievous eyes, and every time he saw a sakura tree, with it's petals falling into the wind…

Okay, and the choices for next week are...

1: Lelouch and Amaya take a break from both school and the Black Knights.

2: When Amaya meets Kaguya after the occupation.

3: Lelouch has to decide what to give Amaya for her birthday, after 7 years of being apart...

The choice is up to you, people who....er...read this message...?
