Lelouch breathed in the fresh smell of Human air as he stepped off the train, and onto the platform. After so long of being in the Devil World, he found the sunlight, the sounds, and the scents of the Human World refreshing. Of course, as a Devil, the sunlight still annoyed him, but it was bearable. He would soon grow used to it once more.

He idly checked the watch he had adorned on his left wrist. It was almost noon, meaning he should hurry to the location of his new home, and then have something to eat. It had been a while since he had had Japanese food.

He walked calmly, looking for a secluded place that would allow him to teleport directly to the location, which he had the exact address for. As he walked, he noticed a group of girls wearing school uniforms, giggling at him as they made comments to each other. They noticed him staring, and immediately turned away, bursting into more giggles. Lelouch could already feel his head beginning to hurt.

'Fangirls.'

Luckily for him, he was able to quickly leave the area, and wander into a secluded location in the park. There was no one there, or in the immediate vicinity, and as such, Lelouch allowed his magic to overtake him, and carry him to his desired destination.

Lelouch stared at the 'house' he was meant to stay in, and shook his head amusedly. House. Yeah, right. More like a mansion. It was situated just outside of the city where his school, Kuoh Academy, was located, so going to and from school would be no problem.

"Sirzechs certainly outdoes my expectation every time...Bastard."

With yet another insult to the Satan, he walked in without hesitation, already knowing the house was abandoned. He opened the double doors that acted as the entrance, and flicked the light switch that he easily saw, even in the darkness of the room.

The lights illuminated a well furbished home inside. Everything was spotless, as if it had been cleaned very recently. The living room had large, royal sofas, along with a large flat screen TV. The center table was also well carved, with patterns adorning the legs, and the side. He also noted a gaming system under the TV. As if he would need that.

The dining room held a similarly coloured, and designed table, and a chandelier hung overhead from the high ceilings of the house. There was also a kitchen, though, knowing himself, he would never use it, and simply use his wealth to order take-out. He wouldn't trust any maid in his home.

There was also a small room in the corner, which he assumed could become his study, and also a door, which he assumed led into the basement.

He walked over to the stairs, and climbed up to the second floor.

Looking around, he counted 10 bedrooms in total, all of which were spacious. The windows that surrounded the house allowed light to filter into every corner of the homes. He assumed there were many to house members of his Peerage. However, he doubted he would use more than five of those rooms.

He walked into the largest room, which he believed to be the master bedroom, and carefully set his suitcase on the already made bed. He pulled his clothing out, and began placing it inside the wardrobe, and also re-arranging the position of some of the room's amenities to his preferences. He then walked around the room, setting up various securities using magic, such as making the room sound-proof, as well as requiring a scan of his eyes to enter. He also did the same for some other of his more private things.

Barely thirty minutes later, Lelouch was done, and ordered some take-out. He flipped through the possibilities of what to order on a guide that had been in the suitcase, and then stopped suddenly, looking at a particular page. It was an advertisement for Pizza Hut. He smirked, and without hesitation, picked up the phone to order.

Lelouch ate his pizza silently, contemplating.

"CC would have loved this," He said to himself, thinking about the pizza.

He suddenly stopped mid-bite. "CC..."

He was sure that she was still alive. She had been one of the very few that were always with him during his conquests, and never questioned him. Thinking of loyal people brought his thoughts to Jeremiah, and Sayoko.

Both had stood by him. Hell, Sayoko even stood in for him. Jeremiah was devoted to his mother, and had become extremely loyal to him, her son. Sayoko had also been his and Nunally's caretaker. As for CC, well, that one was obvious. She had given him his Geass, and never questioned him.

And with that, all questions of who to take as his Peerage disappeared.

Though, those questions disappearing caused the appearance of new questions. Where were they? Would they agree?

The second was more of one that he would see for himself once he arrived there. The first would be fairly easy, but not for CC. She wandered the country, but he was sure that he could find her using magic. Either that, or risk making a connection with C's World, and tracking her from there.

Rubbing his head at the hard work that he would have to do, Lelouch pulled out a demonic laptop, finishing the slice in his hand, and reaching for another. He turned the power on, and not moments later, began searching.

It was now early morning, and Lelouch finally allowed himself to rest. He hadn't meant to take so long, but searching for even Sayoko and Jeremiah had been a pain. Not to mention after he found traces of Sayoko, he had gotten himself into catching up on what was happening in the world.

Much had happened, that was for sure. But luckily, it was all for the better. Nunally had become the Empress at Britannia, and Suzaku, posing as Zero, had stayed by her side, serving her. Amusingly, to Lelouch, Schneizel served Suzaku, still following his orders to serve 'Zero.'

Ohgi had become the Prime Minister of Japan, and it seemed that he was now married to Villetta. Tamaki had opened a bistro, which happened to be doing very well. Perhaps he would visit one day, under a guise.

Unfortunately, he had found nothing on Jeremiah Gottwald. Luckily, by finding Sayoko, he could also find Jeremiah. He trusted the two had remained in contact with one another after his death.

Sayoko was currently working as Kaguya's personal maid. Due to the location of the Sumeragi household being quite well known, he could easily infiltrate it and find her.

But he would do that after he rested a little. It was tiring being King.

Lelouch stared at the Sumeragi household from a distance. Using his vision, he could easily see what was occurring in the house through the windows. There was security, but it was very lax, making his job even easier than what he had thought.

He focused on the rooftop just above what he believed to be Sayoko's quarters. Concentrating, he teleported himself onto the rooftop, and silently checked to make sure the guard was distracted.

Unfortunately, he wasn't, causing Lelouch to point to a bush beside the guard. The bush rustled, and began smoking, attracting the guard's attention. The guard got up, and headed to check the bush.

Meanwhile, Lelouch bounded off the rooftop, and using his momentum, swung into the room via the open window feet first.

"Too easy," He muttered.

"Is that so?" A voice said, prompting him to look up.

The first thing he saw was the black blade of a kunai pointed at his face. Then he saw the clothed arm, and followed it up to finally glance at the person's face.

It was Sayoko.

"Who are you?" She asked him, keeping the kunai trained on him, ready to thrust.

Instead, Lelouch merely chuckled. "As expected of you, Sayoko."

He noticed her eyes narrow. "You speak as if you know me. Who are you? Speak, or else I will find it prudent to strike first, and ask questions later."

She attempted to look past the black mask, and black clothing that he had adorned specially for this occasion. She didn't see anything but his eyes.

He chuckled again. "Come now, Sayoko. It's only been a year. Have you already forgotten me?"

He slowly and dramatically unwrapped his head, and turned off the illusion around him, revealing his face.

He saw Sayoko's eyes go wide, not believing the face that looked back at her, smirking familiarly.

"Le-Lelouch?" She asked him, shocked.

He nodded. "The one and only."

Honestly, he had been expecting a better reaction. Dammit. At that, he cut his train of thought. He was acting like Sirzechs.

"H-how?" She questioned, still not believing it.

"Why don't we take a seat, and I'll explain?"

She nodded, and gestured to the bed, upon which he joined her in sitting.

"So this is what's going on..."

"So, you've been resurrected as a Devil, but not all Devils are really bad?"

He nodded.

"These Devils, along with Angels, and Fallen Angels, had a massive war, which left all three sides devastated, in terms of both population, and resources. So Devils, which had lost much of their soldiers, devised a new form of gaining soldiers called Evil Pieces, which used the game of chess as a base?"

Another nod from Lelouch.

"And you wish for me to become part of your Peerage?"

"Correct."

She shook her head. "To what purpose?"

"For peace. You were there when I devised the Zero Requiem. But these three factions, as I told you, live together in a very false form of peace. That's why I need to gain power to oppose the Fallen Angels, and Angels, as well as the Devils."

"Why your own side?"

He smirked. "I will explain that to you later, after we have assembled the others."

"Others?" This caught Sayoko's interest.

"Jeremiah...And CC."

"I know Jeremiah's location. He had started an orange farm, along with Anya. But CC...All I know is that she was last seen wandering out of town, heading west. Other than that, she's completely fell off the radar."

"I see...I will use a different method of tracking for CC then. We might have to visit my old home."

Sayoko looked surprised. "Why is that?

Lelouch smirked. "I can possibly get a trace of her there and use it to begin tracking her. It depends on how near, or far she is. If we're lucky, she might possibly still be in Japan. Otherwise, we will begin a long goose chase."

Sayoko looked down, in thought. She finally put her head up, and stared at him.

"I took care of both you and Nunally during your years in Japan," She began.

Lelouch urged her to continue.

"I cared for both of you. You two were like my own children. That's why...that's why I will trust in you. I will become part of your Peerage," She said, shocking Lelouch, though he didn't show it. Had Sayoko really cared that much? He knew she cared for both him and Nunnally, but to this extent...He had no idea.

He nodded at her. "Thank you."

With a wave of his hand, he summoned his Knight piece. Slowly, he inserted the piece into the center of her chest.

"I order, in my name Lelouch Leraje, that you, Sayoko Shinozaki, be reborn as a Devil. You, my [Knight], be delighted with your new life!"

Sayoko's entire form glowed for a few moments, before finally settling down. Sayoko stared at herself, then finally rested her eyes upon him.

"Was that it? I don't feel much different."

Lelouch nodded.

"Yes that was it. Try running to the other end of your room."

Sayoko nodded, complying with his request, and not a moment later, her body fazed out of existence, and reappeared ten feet away. The whole ordeal had not even taken a fraction of a second. Sayoko was shocked.

"That's the power of a Knight," Lelouch explained with a smirk at her shocked face. "Ultimate speed coupled with exceptional skill with swords. However, you must protect your legs, as when they are injured, your speed will become your weakness."

Sayoko nodded, now beginning to understand exactly how she had gotten so fast.

Lelouch gestured to for her to come back to where he was.

"Come. Pack your bags with whatever you might need. Let's go find Jeremiah."

One Week Later

Lelouch lay in his bed, thinking over the past week. They had gotten Jeremiah on board three days ago, along with an unexpected companion- his charge, Anya. It certainly hadn't been planned, but it was the only way. Her presence was also a shock, especially after she had tried to shoot him dead.

Lelouch was walking down the path that led to Jeremiah's farm, along with Sayoko. He had not bothered to disguise himself, and kept his illusion down, trusting that Jeremiah would at least see what he wanted, even if he believed that he was an imposter.

It was a hot, July day, the sun shining brightly. Lelouch, having gotten used to the sunlight, wasn't too bothered. Sayoko, on the other hand, was a different story, and as such, was wearing a large straw hat, along with full body clothing that covered her from the sun's sharp rays.

Lelouch glanced around at the oranges he saw. Jeremiah certainly was taking good care of them. They all looked delicious.

A flash of movement caught his eye, and suddenly, Sayoko was in front of him, her chokuto drawn. It was among the many weapons she had brought along with her, and also one of many that she kept on her person.

An empty shell of a bullet lay on the ground a few feet to her right.

'So someone attacked us? I wonder who?'

A figure came out from the bushes, and a young, feminine sounding voice came from it.

"I don't know who you are, but you chose the wrong form to come in. That was a warning shot. Now leave."

Lelouch looked at the figure. This wasn't right. Since when was Jeremiah tiny, and a girl? Looking closer, he glanced at her pink hair, and the blank expression her face held. He was suddenly reminded of a certain pilot of the Knightmare Frame 'Mordred'.

"Anya? Where's Jeremiah?" Lelouch asked calmly, not at all fazed by her threat.

It was now her turn to be confused. "How do you know who I am? And Jeremiah, too? Who are you?"

Lelouch let out a smile. "I'm Lelouch vi Britannia."

Her eyes flashed, showing emotion for the first time since he had met her.

"Then I'll definitely kill you."

She raised the pistol in her hands once more.

"I don't know how you're alive, but I think this is good."

She pulled the trigger, and once again, Lelouch watched as Sayoko cut the bullet in half. He looked at Anya once more.

"Don't shoot. I'm not quite the person you've heard of."

Anya was about to refute, when another voice spoke up, this one much deeper, and actually sounding like a male.

"Anya, listen to him."

A blue-haired man, wearing overalls and a red shirt walked from the trees. Covering his left eye was a gold mask-like mechanism. It was Jeremiah; Lelouch recognized him instantly.

Jeremiah looked at Lelouch. "If you really are Lelouch, then answer this. What was the Zero Requiem?"

Lelouch nodded approvingly at his suspicion. Good. Jeremiah wasn't an idiot.

"The Zero Requiem was my masterplan," He began. "It would focus the hate of the world on me. Then, in a public appearance, Suzaku, dressed as Zero, would kill me. He would forever be looked at as Zero, and a hero, and me, the Demon Emporer. Then, united in their hatred and fear of me, peace would be brought to the world so that another Demon Emporer would never rise again. I would repent for the sins I committed through death."

Jeremiah went wide-eyed, along with Anya, who was listening in on the explanation. Jeremiah couldn't believe it. His lord was really alive! But how? Anya was shocked for different reasons. The monster known as Lelouch vi Britannia, who ruined so many lives, really had noble intentions? She couldn't believe it.

"L-Lelouch? How?"

Lelouch smirked. "It will take some time to explain. Perhaps we can go inside?"

Jeremiah nodded, complying with the silent order. It certainly was sounding like him. The man he had sworn to protect.

And so, he had taken Jeremiah as his Knight, and Anya, after much hesitation, had been allowed to become his Rook.

Currently, they were all resting in a hotel room near Ashford Academy. Lelouch was permanently wearing his disguise, except to his newly gained Peerage. Luckily, they all had some previous skill that would suit their roles. Anya, being his rook, would be the only one as of yet who would need further training in hand-to-hand. He would easily resolve this however, simply by ordering Sayoko to teach her in the various martial arts she was familiar with.

Speaking of Jeremiah, it seemed his power to negate the Geass was still fully functional, and his Cyborg parts were still intact. They had provided no troubles in Jeremiah's changing into a Devil, since his heart was still mostly human. Of course, they did give him extra defense, though Lelouch believed it would only be minor, and easily broken. Human metal didn't quite compare to a Devil's power. It did have some interesting possibilities, if Jeremiah's Cyborg parts were to be replaced with metal from the Underworld.

Jeremiah had also been shocked to see Sayoko with him, and the two were quickly becoming friendly with one another, both being his Knights, and also, both having served under him previously. Of course, this also led to a rivalry between them, both also remembering their past bout.

Tomorrow, they would officially begin the search for CC. He would infiltrate his old home, and enter the room CC had stayed in the most- his bedroom. While it had been a long time since she had probably been there, there would still be traces of her aura.

One and a Half Months Later

It had been a whole month since they had begun the search for CC. Unfortunately, the method of tracking Lelouch was employing was much like a dog's. He would be following her exact magical trail, so if she had circled around anywhere, then he too would have to follow those exact steps. If he ignored a trail for another, he would possibly take longer than ever to find her.

So far, they had gone to the north of Japan, and suddenly, had swung down towards the middle. Then, following that, CC had suddenly headed west, towards the coast. They had charted a boat, and Lelouch sped it up with magic, and soon, they landed in China. They had travelled further west, through the Gobi Desert, and into India. She had travelled a bit south, and then suddenly done a one-eighty degree turn. The trek soon led them into the Himalayas.

Currently, Lelouch stood at the foot of Everest, Jeremiah, Sayoko, and Anya behind him. While the sun was shining, it did little to warm them in the cold, mountain air.

"She's close," Lelouch spoke. "Her magic aura is much stronger here, and recent. I suspect that she might be on this mountain as we speak, or somewhere around it."

His entire Peerage breathed out a sigh of relief. They had been especially worked hard, Lelouch pushing them to their limits to find CC as soon as possible.

Of course, Lelouch was also annoyed, both at the fact that finding CC was taking much longer than he had predicted, and also the fact that his phone was constantly getting calls that he should be in school, and also constantly asking where he was. Not to mention that even the Duke himself had called to check up on him. That had been about a day ago, and unfortunately, he had been unable to tell Lord Gremory how much longer he would be away. Luckily, he was now able to see the send of the search coming closer.

"Let's go."

With that command, all of them got up, and began following Lelouch's lead towards CC, all of them hoping to find her soon.

Three Hours Later

They were currently at the completely opposite end of Everest from where they had been earlier, at the base of the mountain. They were walking through a cave, which had been covered up by snow. They assumed CC had purposely done that.

As they walked, they began to notice signs of life. Blackened pieces of wood could be found in bundles at random intervals, suggesting fires. They saw light footprints, made from the snow that was stuck to the bottom of a shoe.

The cave was fairly small, and they soon reached the end, where a green-haired woman sat staring at the cave wall, her back to them, unaware of their presence.

"You've been a very hard woman to find, CC," Lelouch spoke.

She immediately spun around, her eyes immediately settling on Lelouch, ignoring the others behind him. Lelouch watched with amusement as her eyes widened by a fraction.

"Impossible," She breathed out.

Lelouch shook his head. "Not quite."

She slowly got up, walking to Lelouch, examining him.

"Is it really you?"

He nodded.

"How? Did you somehow gain the code from Charles?"

He shook his head. "It's complicated. More or less, I was resurrected as a Devil."

Contrary to what Lelouch thought her reaction would be, she simply kept her face blank.

"A Devil?"

"Yes," He replied at her question.

"I take it you wish for me to join your Peerage?"

Lelouch stared at her, slightly shocked.

"And how exactly do you know that?" Despite asking this, Lelouch could already guess the answer.

"I'm immortal. For a time, I was part of the church, and there, I became aware of Devils, Angels, and Fallen Angels."

'So it was like I guessed,' Lelouch thought dryly.

"I see. And yes, that would be the case."

"Which piece?"

"Queen."

CC let out a small smirk. "I'm flattered. Very well, I will become a part of your Peerage."

Lelouch summoned his queen piece, watching it glow. Placing it in the correct spot, he slowly inserted it into CC's chest.

"I order, in my name Lelouch Leraje, that you, CC, be reborn as a Devil. You, my [Queen], be delighted with your new life!"

Lelouch sat in his home, facing the individual members of his Peerage, while CC, grudgingly on her part, made tea. Anya however, was not with them, up in her room instead. As she brought it, and sat beside him, Lelouch began.

"As you know, you have all agreed to become a part of my Peerage. But as of yet, I have not yet told you my purpose."

They nodded.

"You are my closest and most loyal subordinates, so you deserve to know. I will..."

"Conquer Heaven and Hell, and destroy the hate the races have for one another."

The End

And that was Chapter 3! I took some risks here, what with Sayoko's feelings about Lelouch and Nunally. Also, I decided to add Anya to the Peerage after all. Please note however, that I will not be adding anymore Code Geass characters to Lelouch's Peerage. Also, we find out exactly what Lelouch's masterplan is.

Will it happen in one book? Hell no. It won't even be soon. For now, Lelouch needs to gain more power and support, so yes, hopefully, this WILL span over several books. Just to let you know, this is set a year and a half before Issei is resurrected, so that means when Issei starts high school as a first year.

Next chapter, we get into school life, and also Devil life. They will be heavily training, and taking it very seriously, so I expect that at the very least, they can very easily defeat Rias's Peerage by the time Issei starts out as a Devil.

Also, some questions that you might have. Will Lelouch gain a Sacred Gear? Maybe. I have some ideas for Lelouch with a Sacred Gear. However, it will be one that already exists, meaning someone will die. It will also have NOTHING to do with Lelouch's Geass. Remember, that's a maybe. It all depends on what you guys say.

Also, WOW! I'm loving the reviews I'm getting :D I really hope everyone continues to enjoy this story. I love you all!

Continue reviewing.

HokagenoNaruto, out.
