Disclaimer: I do not own Code Geass. It belongs to its creator. I only own this little fanfiction, and a few books.

Another Note: Sorry about taking so long. My computer came in contact with a virus, and everything was erased. Luckily, my handy flashdrive held my life, along with all my fanfictions, including this one! Since my computer is still recovering, and the CD to Microsoft Office has run away, I do not have MS Word on my computer. I do not know when I will post Chapter 4, but I hope to do it very soon. Anyway, enjoy!

Chapter 3

Aya

I smiled at Cecile as she checked my vitals.

"Well, it seems that you're going to be alright for now." She told me. I smiled even wider. I could feel some color returning to my cheeks, and Cecile's hand didn't feel burning hot against mine. The danger was over.

I heard Suzaku shout an exclamation in the other room. What was going on? I looked at Cecile with many questions in my eyes.

"Don't worry." She said, smiling. "Lloyd just surprised Suzaku. He's the same as always…"

I laughed. Cécile smiled, knowing it was a good sign. My stomach pained me a little, but I didn't care. I knew I was going to be okay.

Cécile returned to the room where Lloyd and Suzaku were waiting. I heard Cécile explain that I was going to get all better with nothing but a tiny scar.

"Thank goodness!" I heard Suzaku say. Lloyd, Cecile, and Suzaku came into the room.

"So, good thing you survived! Now we can finish up that project we were working on!" Lloyd cried out cheerfully. I smiled and Cécile helped me sit up.

"What project?" Suzaku asked, confused.

"Oh…Earl Lloyd and I were working on a new Knightmare…for me…" I answered uncertainly.

"What?! Aya, it's dangerous out on the battlefield!" Suzaku cried, not angrily, but in horror. I sighed.

"Suzaku-kun, Princess Cornelia had her own Knightmare. I used to be just one rank below Zero. I'm perfectly capable enough-"

"You know Princess Cornelia disappeared! And it won't be the same this time! Some Britannians will still think of you as a traitor! They might attack you!" Suzaku interrupted.

I stopped. Suzaku was right, but I wasn't weak.

"Suzaku, I'm not the same weak girl that you knew eight years ago. I still will need you to protect me, but this time, I'm going to be the one in the frontlines. Anyways, you have no right to give me orders. I've outranked you." I said firmly. Suzaku stopped, not saying another word.

"I beg your pardon for my boldness." He said. I realized what I had done.

"Suzaku! Wai-"

"Aya-chan, let him go for now." Lloyd said in a serious voice. I shut my mouth.

"I'm such an idiot." I told myself. We didn't talk for a little while after that.

Lelouch

Nunnally is the governor of Area 11. Suzaku had tried to trick me into revealing the fact that I have my memories back by forcing me to talk to Nunnally, but Rolo used his Geass so I could explain to her quickly. Apparently Suzaku thinks my memories are still gone. This happened a few days before Aya's appearance.

Now, a few days after Aya was shot, Nunnally appeared on the news. I plan to capture Nunnally. I know Britannia is trying to use her to make the Japanese happy. Once her usefulness has expired, she will be tossed as if she was trash. I shake with fury as I think about it. I will NOT let that happen.

After creating a diversion, I quickly slipped into the flying ship to find Nunnally. I found her quickly. She was in an inside garden, and to my surprise, Aya stood next to her.

"Zero?" Nunnally asked.

"Yes." Aya said, her voice threatening. I was taken aback by her tone.

"Zero, are you here to kill us, like you did Clovis and Euphie?" Nunnally asked. I stopped walking towards them. Aya stiffened.

"But could you give us a moment?" Nunnally continued. "W-We think you're wrong."

"Britannia is the one that's wrong." I said. "The Emperor believes that power is of absolute value. Do you both agree with that belief as well?"

Aya glared at me. Nunnally put her hand on Aya's.

"That's…" Nunally began to say.

"Governor Nunnally, you are just being used." I continued.

"Since my eyes and legs are impaired, that I would garner sympathy from the public?" Nunally answered. I looked at her, slightly surprised.

"No. I volunteered." She finished. My eyes widened. Aya's narrowed as she saw me stiffen.

"You volunteered?" I asked.

"Correction. WE both volunteered. My engagement was not arranged. I was asked personally, and I said yes." Aya said, squeezing Nunnally's hand tightly. Nunnally squeezed back.

"We believe this world can be changed in a more peaceful, gentle manner." Aya then said firmly. "That is why, both Nunnally and I will succeed Euphie's will, and once again, establish the Special Administrative Region of Japan-"

"You will revive it?!" I cried.

"Zero, won't you participate in it, as well?" Nunally added, reaching her hand out invitingly towards me. Aya looked at her, shocked.

I backed up, remembering Euphie making the same gesture when she tried to convince me to help her re-establish Japan.

"We can do this again…all humans can…" Nunally continued.

What should I do? I can't reveal Zero's identity to Nunnally, nor was this the right time to reveal myself to Aya. But to forcefully drag them away…would be going against both of their wills…

Suddenly, something crashed in.

Suzaku

I crashed into the garden in the Lancelot.

"Suzaku?!" Zero cried. He ran towards Nunnally and Aya.

"Come with me!" he cried.

"Nunnally! Aya!" I yelled.

Nunnally's head snapped up at me. Aya looked at me.

"Suzaku…" Aya said. Tears flowed down her face.

"Suzaku!" Nunnally cried. Zero was blown away by the wind.

"Suzaku!" Nunnally cried again, reaching towards me.

"Suzaku!!" Aya cried even louder, reaching towards me as well. I landed in front of them.

"Were you scared?" I asked. Zero grunted loudly as he was blown even farther away.

"Sorry, you're both safe now." I continued, picking them both up. I began to fly off, when I saw Zero being blown away right under me. I looked straight at his mask, not able to see his face.

Zero, now's not… I thought. I then flew away.

"NUNNALLY!!!" Zero yelled behind me.

I could've sworn Nunnally turned her head at the sound of his yell.

And Aya did as well.
