O.o Wow, it seems that so many people like this story. Kinda surprised me, because I didn't think it would be so well received. Nonetheless, please do forgive us for not updating sooner! Yami and I were and still are quite busy with our school and daily life. I haven't been able to stay in touch with her for God knows how long. And last time we talked, it seemed like she still had not got her CG muse back. So, I hope by writing this chapter and dedicating it to her will help getting her back in CG mood again ^.^; I miss you so much Yami!!
Anyway, this chapter was supposed to be written by Yami as it was her turn to do so. But, since I am the one who write this chapter then I just want to warn you (again) that my writing is not good as Yami. I deeply apologize if this is not up to your expectation, everyone. Do expect lots of OOC, awkwardness, errors, hints of shonen-ai, etc.
For warning and disclaimer, see the first chapter.
Without further ado, please enjoy!

Ok, let's just start the court…
"What did you do to him?" Lelouch asked the green-haired culprit, who was currently sprawling lazily across the couch, his couch. Honestly, did that the way a culprit should act?
A pair of bored, golden eyes turned to look at him briefly before focusing back on TV, which was airing a commercial of new kinds of pizza in Pizza Hut. "To whom?"
"Don't play with me, witch." The black haired male gritted out, barely restraining his homicidal urges. He had asked the same question for ten — no, twenty times — since this morning. And every time he asked, that witch would either ignore him completely or barely pay attention at all.
So when the same thing — Lelouch demanding answers and C.C. blissfully ignoring him — happened for the twenty-one times, the ever patient Lelouch Lamperogue finally snapped. He did the most forbidden thing in 10 Things You Shouldn't Do if You Want to Get on C.C's Good Side book (written and completed by Mao)

Well, let's go back to the story. Where were we? Oh yeah, so Lelouch did the most unforgivable thing one could do to C.C. — he took her precious cheesy goddess.
"Would you be so kindly to pay attention now?"
He was sure he heard something akin to growl coming from the usually passive golden-eyed witch. Who knew pizza could hold such a power?
"What do you want boy?"
The amethyst-eyed teen smirked. Finally. "Tell me what you did to him."
"Who?"
"Suzaku."
Twirling her hair almost absent mindedly, the said witch finally relented, "Oh, that soldier boy. What about him?"
"Yes. Him. Now, tell me what you did to him."
She shrugged carelessly, "A little this and that."
"And what," Twitch, "'a little this and that' supposed to mean?"
"It means just what it means."
At this point Lelouch felt he could tear his hair out of frustration. C.C. clearly hadn't shown any sign of willingly telling him what she had done. Definitely the witch was not in one of her talkative mood, or his incredible persuasive skill would have fished something out of her. This meant that should cope with whatever little information than he already had at the outset, with or without C.C.'s assistance. For one, Suzaku was missing. There was nothing to indicate that the brunette had spent the night in guest room, except Ashford's black uniform jacket, pants, and ... a blue boxers that were left behind. He certainly doubted the Japanese would leave only in his white shirt. The raven knew that his childhood best friend, despite being an insufferable idiot most of the time, was smarter than that. Besides, he doubted the brunette would leave without telling him first. In addition, there was the (not so) mysterious toddler who had magically appeared, sleeping sound and peacefully, next to him this morning. The same toddler with familiar unruly brown hair and emerald colored eyes.
The ex-Prince huffed in annoyance. Only an idiot wouldn't recognize the similarities between those two. There are two possibilities of who the child might be. First, the child was a very distant relative of Suzaku that looked so much like him and had magically appeared on Lelouch's bed this morning — which was very unlikely and highly impossible to happen without his knowing. So, he crossed out that option. Next, the child was Suzaku. He didn't know how and why, but he suspected C.C. must have something to do with that fact.
A pair of amethyst colored eyed stared accusingly at the detached golden. "So you mean I woke up to a chibi version of my friend just because your 'little this and that'? How could you change him into...into that?"
At the twinkle and poorly hidden amusement on C.C.'s sun-colored eyes, he realized that the witch was taking pleasure in his expense! So it was indeed her that had caused all of this; she was a witch after all. A sarcastic, annoying pizza-obsessed witch. You didn't normally wake up to a mini clone of your best friend turned enemies turned crush on a daily basis. Especially if the said friend went with the name of Suzaku Kururugi.
"You—"
CRASH!
Lelouch stopped short at the loud sound coming from the direction of the kitchen. Amethyst colored orbs instantly flew to the place where the he had told the small brunette to stay put. Finding it empty, the ex-Prince gritted his teeth in frustration. He should have known that Suzaku (as chibi or not) could not stay still even for the life of him; their childhood memories had proved so. However, since the miniature Lancelot pilot wasn't here anymore, that would mean…
C. C. gave a low whistle as she watched the ebony haired prince dashed to the direction of the kitchen. Although she was thankful for Lelouch finally leaving her to some time alone with her pizza, she never knew that the boy could run that fast. The boy's time had increased by 27 seconds than his usual standard.
A sly smile danced across her luscious pink lips; it's just proved that her theory was correct.

When Lelouch arrived in the kitchen, it was not disastrous sight of the normally organized kitchen that held his attention. Rather, it was the small, brown haired toddler that sat in the center of the so-called catastrophe, grinning cheerfully at the mess around him.
Honestly, what kind of mess that mini idiot had actually gotten himself into this time? Sayoko would not be happy to see all of this when she got home.
Making sure not to step any of the mess, he made his way to the small kid, whose expression immediately brightened when he spotted the raven-haired male approach. Little hands were stretched out to him in a clear message of wanting to be picked. "Mama!"
Lelouch's face comforted into a frown when he heard that. He had to remind the brunette not to call him 'Mama'. Just because he was the first person Suzaku saw, it did not mean he was his mother. He was a male for god's sake! Damn C.C. and all her teaching. He should know she would end up corrupting the small brunette rather than teaching him.
"Suzaku, did you do all of this?" he asked gently, watching as the boy's face broke into a sheepish smile.
"Un. 'zaku made Mama a cake!" the chibified teen answered with a grin, pointing at the err...cake? What were his shoes doing in that sticky brown sludge? And were those his socks sticking out of the cake?
"Mama?" came a concerned voice.
It took a few more seconds for him to answer the said chibi.
"Ah, thank you..." another look at the cake, "I guess."
He had to wash them later. Whatever ingredients that Suzaku used inside his cake that's it.
Just don't let Suzaku ask anything about eating that cake please. Because if he did ask, Lelouch did not think that he was able to refuse those puppy-eyes of his.
He slowly picked Suzaku to his arms, trying not to grimace at how dirty the boy was. He sighed. There was no way denying the inevitable it seemed. He had to bathe Suzaku sooner and later.
"Come on. Let's get you clean up."

Awkward, was it? I was attempting to write humor and light fluff for this chapter, but I think I have failed. It just does not feel right and I can't feel the flow of this chapter either *sigh* I guess that after not writing anything creative for almost two years do that to me. Guess I have much to learn before I am good to writing fanfiction again. Not to mention I have to start looking for beta...
At any rate, please review and tell me (and Yami) what you think! I have the next chapter 50% ready, but I don't know whether you would want to read it or not. Uh, I don't even know if you still and will keep on following this story after reading this crappy chapter of mine. So, please let the author(s) know what is in your mind. Any constructive criticism is welcomed for the future references. Thank you for reading (and hopefully reviewing) Ochibi! See you next chapter where Lelouch will (try to) bathe little Suzaku. Hmm, maybe we should think a new name for little Suzaku. It's boring calling him chibi all the time…Well, later~
