Title: Love Like No Other
Rating: T
Warnings: Unbetaed! So please don't expect the best of grammars since 1)it's unbetaed like I said, and 2) technically English isn't my first language, so all the tense forms are killer on me, kay.
Disclaimer: I do not own CG cause if I did, Lelouch would totally tell Shirley to take a hike, freak Nina out by telling her he was half Jap(I think?), and tell CC to go fuck herself.
A/N: Okay, so I've reread what I've written in the past and noticed how I continued to change Fem!Lelouch's name in almost all chapters. Now I am set on a name. Fem!Lelouch will be from now known as Lesoir. Not Lessoir or Lenoir. Although I do like Lenoir, I rather have Lesoir. The Night compared to the Sky. Yea, I like the sky better, at least then I could see the sun, clouds, stars, and the moon whenever I look up.

She wanted to die. No, that wasn't right. She wanted the pain to go away. She didn't want to leave behind Nunnally or Rolo. But she didn't want the pain to continue. It started off only as a slight ache in her chest. Then it grew to a constant ache. As she waited for hours in the rain, the pounding of the rain soothed the ache, numbing her body to the pain. When she fell into the world of the unconscious, the last thought that ran though her mind was the blissful peaceful feeling the darkness had. Once she awakened in the hospital, the pain returned suddenly with a greater force. Lesoir only wanted to forget the pain, to shield herself from the pain. Her last thought before they wheeled her off to surgery was to protect herself from the pain.

Purple eyes opened to a dim room with the sun slowly rising from the corner of her window. Her body ached with a soreness she was familiar with. When she was a child, she once stayed in the hospital due to her asthma. She knew she suffered through an intense attack, but no matter what, she could not die. Not until she made the world a better place for her precious sister and little brother. She tried to turn her head but noticed the air mask on her face preventing her from turning her head too much. She sighed loud enough for the two girls within the room to notice. Once they saw Lesoir awake, both girls huddled over to the bed. CC pushed the nurse summon button while Nunnally cried happily that Lesoir's awake.
"How are you feeling, Onee-sama?" Lesoir lifted a hand to rest on top of Nunnally's head. She tried to smile but with the mask on, it obscured it. Nunnally didn't mind though, she smiled bright enough for the both of them.
A gentle slap to her arm alerted her to CC. Her eyes were clear of tears but they were slightly red and the wobbly smile on her face showed how worried she was. "Don't scare us like that." With a small nod of Lesoir's head, CC sat next to her on the bed.
The door opened and a nurse walked in. She gently pushed CC off the bed so she could observe Lesoir closer. Lesoir was still dazed after waking up from surgery. The nurse was checking her stats before she turned to the girl in bed.
"Well, Miss, you were very lucky this time. If the doctor hadn't performed the surgery on time and at once, you wouldn't be here today, that's for sure. You will need to stay in the hospital for a few more days, in case of a relapse." The nurse turned towards the two girls in the room. With a stern order, she told them not to stress Lesoir out and to make sure she is rested. With another check on the girl, the nurse left the room to inform the doctor of Lesoir's awakening.

Jeremiah bumped into Rolo on the way back to Lesoir's room. He pulled the younger boy aside to question him about the whereabouts of a Suzaku. At the mention of his name, Rolo tensed before a snarl escaped his lips. He explained to the older man exactly what he saw, what he did, and what he guessed Lesoir saw to cause her to sit in the rain for so long. The look on Jeremiah's face grew dark as each word fell from Rolo's mouth. He thought Suzaku was a good boy, a loyal one too. He thought Euphie was a sweet girl, not a scarlet type of woman. He knew they used to be together when they were still in high school but then Lesoir came back.
Of course Lesoir was always there, but with her father as the Emperor during that time, she was either sent back to Britannia or too busy to be with her friends. Then she started the rebellion against her father, the short but much needed war between her and her father, it torn apart the loving relationship between her and Euphie, who was a pacifist. Her return to Japan, back to her friends, back to Suzaku who was always her friend, no matter how much he often disagreed with her methods, brought both the good and the bad. Once she returned Suzaku was by her side, so often it was joked that they were the couple instead of Euphie and Suzaku. The tension from the war and the teasing caused Euphie to break down. She was upset with Lesoir, for the close bond and relationship she had with her boyfriend. Jeremiah knew things were tensed between the three.
Lesoir was always there for the boy. She might not be the sweetest or kindest of girls, but she drew people to her. Rolo was prime example of how much being around Lesoir could change a person. Jeremiah changed as well. CC was once coldhearted and only cared for herself, now she was still coldhearted at times but she cared, she cared a lot for Lesoir and Nunnally. It was a surprise when he decided to date Euphemia before he dated Lesoir. So it wasn't a surprise later one when Suzaku finally asked Lesoir out.
Euphie was against the two being together. She said it was wrong for a sister to take an ex of another sister to be their boyfriend. Jeremiah understood her reasoning, but it was fate. Suzaku and Lesoir, they were fated to be together since they were young. Together through thick and thin. Rolor was against them being together as well, but it was more due to being overly protective of Lesoir. However, after all this time, he was right. Suzaku betrayed their princess. There will be blood spilt for the betrayal.

Suzaku stared up at the hospital. He didn't know if he should enter or not. Of course he knew he should enter, to face the music, but he was afraid. If there was anything he was afraid of, it was losing Lesoir. His heart ached at the idea but he knew it might become reality. He dug his grave the moment he started the affair with Euphie-no, Euphemia. His grave was made, now he will lay in it. He cursed himself for falling under her spell, for not being strong enough to resist. He should have resisted, he shouldn't have allowed for it to continue. But she was temptation, a pure white compared to Lesoir's elegant black.
He had to face Lesoir, it was the least he could do. He knew this would mean the end of their relationship, but he would do anything for her forgiveness. He would do anything for her to forgive him. She was all that matter to him. She saved him countless times during high school when he was suicidal. His life held no meaning without her. He needed her in his life. Without her, he was nothing.

A/N: Okay, so this story has gotten out of hand lately. I mean I really don't know where this story will be going. I have a somewhat path I'm going with this. But there's so many side roads I don't know which to take. Like seriously, I was either contemplating having them get back together again or someone really dropping by to sweep dear Lesoir off her feet and allow Suzaku to wallow in his depression. I'll think more about it when I type out the next chapter.
