Grah, forget the rest of episode 4. I don't wanna write all that D:

You guys have already seen episode 4, do I really need to write it all out? The next chapter will pick up from episode 5 8D

Sorry I took so long. I had writer's block and didn't know much about what to do for this chapter. So I typed a little bit, added some sappyness, and suspense, and yeah, that's it. O_O

Enjoy this small chapter and look forward to the next epic one (If I post it soon O_O)

Chapter 4

"You're Geass' ability is to stop time?" Lelouch asked, still not believing it.

"I don't need to answer you." Rolo replied, the gun still to his target's head, "My order are that if Lelouch Lamperouge recovers his memories, kill him."

"Sixteen...seventeen...eighteen..." Lelouch suddenly began to count.

"What are you counting?" Rolo asked over.

"The moment you showed up, I began counting the time in my mind." He then pointed to the timer clock on one of the computers. It now was around 34 seconds, "However, that number is off right now."

"Why do you think that is?" Lelouch pressed a button and an image popped up.

It showed Lelouch saying, "...will be my pawn in finding Nunally." Then Rolo turned around, grabbed the gun from Lelouch while he was frozen, walked around him, and pointed the gun.

"Rolo, what you stopped wasn't time, but rather, my "sense" of time."

"You can't win even if you know that." Rolo said, then he thought, "Yes, no one can live on the same time as I do."

"You are correct, Rolo." Lelouch looked back at him, but still didn't move, "The reason why you haven't killed me immediately is because you understand, right? At this rate, you will obtain neither of the two."

"Two?"

"One is C.C, where you've made me bait to lure her out. Let me go, and I'll bring C.C."

Rolo blinked, "You're selling out C.C?"

"She's no match for what my life is worth."

"What's the other one, then?"

"I'll tell you if you'll tell me something." Lelouch opened his cellphone and, still not turning around, held it behind him so Rolo could see.

It was him and Rolo. But right between them was the little curly-haired 14 year old sister, her smile bright and her purple-blue eyes shining from the sunlight.

"You haven't forgotten about our sister, have you?" Lelouch smiled, "I just want to know who she is. And why she's here."

"The same reason you're here." Rolo titled his head downward, "We were keeping you both under control."

"What? You mean she--"

"Isn't it obvious? She has a Geass as well."

Lelouch reacted in surprise just for a second, "So..that small and seemingly innocent girl that replaced Nunnally has a Geass, too?"

"Now, I answered your question. Tell me the second thing I won't obtain."

Lelouch looked at him, "Your life."

Rolo smirked, "What life..."

"Rolo, what is the future?"

Rolo blinked in surprise.

"The future is hope. Does hope lie beyond your mission? What kind of future can you unlock by capturing C.C? You will just me the same. Nothing will change."

"This is my mission." Rolo replied.

Lelouch then finally turned around and faced him, and Rolo still held the gun up, "Killing me won't accomplish your mission. You wan't to capture C.C, no?"

He then said in a soft voice, "I will bring her tomorrow. Then, you will be able to grasp a new future." He smiled, "Don't worry. I won't lie. Not to you."

"Well, then, what about Kimi?" Rolo asked, raising an eyebrow, "What are you going to do with her now?"

Lelouch's hair covered his eyes, "I have nice plans for my sister. Very nice plans."

Kimi was in her room, doing her homework. Although she wasn't paying attention to her questions at all. She hadn't even changed out of her boy uniform yet.

"Those prisoners...are going to be executed tomorrow." She began tapping her pencil again, "I don't know what excuse Lelouch is going to have to leave me and Rolo."

Her muscles tensed suddenly. She then felt like punching the wall out for being so confused and scared, but she contained herself quickly.

"Cameras..." She thought, "There must be cameras in my room. Not to mention in Lelouch and Rolo's, too."

She clenched her fists, "Obviously Lelouch ran off earlier today just so he could find out more about all this. So, if he has control over the cameras now or something.."

She waved the matter off, "No, of course not. Lelouch couldn't do that in one day. Besides, he's off helping Rivalz get his motorcycle back. As for Rolo, who knows where he is."

That was when she finally looked at her homework, and grimaced. She hadn't technically studied since the terrorist attack, so her homework was like jumbles to her, even if she is smart.

"I had to not pay attention in class." Kimi sighed, "I usually don't, but I've got alot on my mind right now."

There was a sudden knock on her door, and Kimi turned her head, "Come in."

Lelouch walked in, "Hey, Kimi. I haven't seen you all evening."

"Oh, I've been just..." Kimi shrugged as Lelouch walked up to her desk, "..doing homework."

"You haven't even answered a single question yet." Lelouch pulled up a chair next to her, "Are you having trouble with it?"

"W-Well..." Kimi stammered, "Just....I'm not feeling too good. Because of that I didn't pay attention to class today."

Lelouch looked at her with a concerned expression, "You're not feeling well? Are you sick?"

"I can't explain it."

"Can't explain it? It's a headache, right?"

"Could be."

Lelouch blinked, "You've...been acting very weird lately."

Kimi began scratching the bandage on her forearm, but she didn't reply.

Lelouch then gently grabbed her right wrist, "Let me see something." And pushed up her sleeve.

The whole time he never paid any attention to her injuries from the terrorist attack, but he widened his eyes at the black and blue bruises covering parts of her right arm.

"Kimi.." He said, too shocked to speak, "I didn't know it was..."

Kimi looked away, "Well, I was desperate to get back to you and Rolo at the Babel Tower. I might've tripped and fallen down some steps once....or twice."

Then an idea sprang into her head. An idea that would explain how strange she was acting.

"It could save my life and keep Lelouch less suspicious about me." She thought, "That way, he'll "know" that I don't know anything."

"I thought you didn't care much..." She looked down, attempting to cry, "That's why I've been...well...not happy lately..."

Just that sentence worked just how she wanted it. Lelouch had her in his arms the next second, but it just didn't feel that normal.

"How could you be so stupid, Kimi?" He asked, hugging her tighter, her face on her side on his chest, "You know I would never do that to you. I love both you and Rolo, how could you think of that?"

"B-Because..." She closed her eyes. Where were her tears?! They were late, "It's just the way you've been acting lately. Like you've been...." What should she say next?

Lelouch sort of loosened his grip, "So..she's already noticed. How could she? I thought I was doing a good job of being normal."

"And also, Rolo's been a little distant and suspicious of me and you for a while..." Kimi cursed herself for not crying, "I figured I did something wrong.."

There was a small bit of silence from her brother, then he kissed her forhead, "You didn't do anything. I'll talk with Rolo tomorrow, okay?"

"Okay.." Kimi replied, then slowly pulled away, receiving another idea, "Do you...think we could go somewhere tomorrow? Just the three of us? Y'know, hanging out?"

"Oh, um..." Lelouch looked down at her homework with the empty spaces, "I..was going to plan something.."

Kimi looked down sadly, "What are you going to do?"

Lelouch hesitated, and Kimi thought slyly, "Of course we can't do anything. You've got a whole bunch of Black Knight friends you've got to save tomorrow."

"I..." Lelouch then had a brain spark of his own, "I'm going on a date."

Kimi's lavender-blue eyes almost bulged out of her head, "You? A date? I thought you said you weren't interested in girls and that for the time being I would be the only woman in your life."

"I said for the time being." Lelouch began petting her head, smiling, "I hope you'll forgive me. Maybe we'll do something another time."

"Yeah.." Kimi drummed her fingers and it was silent for a moment.

"Okay." Lelouch grabbed one of her extra pencils, "How about I help you with your homework? I bet you don't know anything about this right now."

"I hate to admit it, but yeah..." She pushed her chair back and stood up, "Let me go change real quick. I'll just take a few minutes."

She went to her drawer, grabbed her pajamas, and walked to her bathroom door, "Don't go deserting me. I'll really need your help."

Lelouch leaned back, waving his hand, "I'll try, Kim, I'll try."

Kimi entered her bathroom and shut her door. Then tried to contain some laughter as she changed clothes.

"This is going to be so much fun!" She thought, "He as Zero and probably Rolo will be there! There's nothing I can do about that. Oh, I wish my memories were back."

She rubbed her shoulder and looked in her mirror, "Why was I put here like this?"

XXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX

It was now in the morning. Lelouch was on his computer, looking at all the pictures of some of the information on Rolo. He hadn't gone through it all the way, and now, he was just about to reach the information about Kimi.

He looked at a picture he accidently pulled up while going through his files. It was the time when Lelouch, on the left, Rolo, on the right, and Kimi in the middle dozed off together, Kimi's head on Rolo's shoulder,and Rolo and Lelouch's leaned on hers. Milly thought it was so adorable that she snapped a picture of it with her cellphone.

It was actually the desktop to Kimi's laptop for several months until recently, where she changed it to just a solid color.

He glanced back at the picture, then went to the book, silent. Then he began to read.
