I'm so happy right now because I was stuck on chapter 13 for a while, but I made a breakthrough with it while I was taking a shower. It just needed a little extra brain power was all! Unfortunately, I've been slacking on chapter 14…ah man…I am WAY behind on writing!

Chapter 12: Moving
"What?" Millay tried not to yell at Kallen who had been caught making an escape at 1:00 in the morning. Kallen was immensely nervous as she tried to provide a feasible excuse to Millay as to why she had her suitcase packed and why she was in jeans instead of pajamas.
"Millay, don't over-react…I'm just going to be gone for…a short while. You know, get some coffee or something," Kallen lied, wincing outwardly at how bad she was at lying to her best friend.
"Somehow I know this has to do with Lelouch and that you're going to get yourself into more trouble and end up with bigger emotional problems," Millay said. She had been unable to sleep, not her first time, as she had heard Kallen moving up and down in her room, opening and slamming drawers and pacing the floor repeatedly. She had made a cup of hot chocolate for the red head and decided to go to her room and see if she was ok. Then she came upon…this. Kallen sighed. It made sense she just came out with the truth.
"I've decided to take my life into my own hands…" Kallen began.
"Once again…" Millay narrated.
"And make my own decisions…"
"This sounds familiar, you sure we haven't done this before!" Millay shouted the second part of her sentence. This was getting really insane.
"..and most of all…stop sucking all the happiness and cheerfulness out of you. Look at yourself Millay. I've made you into a miserable person," Kallen concluded.
"You making another stupid decision is what's gonna make me unhappy, Kallen. Who knows, maybe this time you'll end up dead! I don't want that to happen!" Millay continued to shout. Kallen threw back her shoulders and drew up her chest.
"I was hoping to avoid a confrontation…seems that was impossible. Why couldn't you let me go without all of this?" Kallen asked, gesturing wildly with her hands.
"All of what, Kallen?" Millay yelled, mimicking the red head.
"Drama!" Kallen yelled, "you could have let me go, it would have been less devastating!"
"I learned my lesson the first time. I didn't try hard enough to get you away from him and look what's happened! You're freaking pregnant with his child! I'm not letting you go again; I am not going to lose you!"
"You are not going to lose me if you let me go, you're going to lose me if you continue to stand in my way," Kallen said, jaw set firmly. She had no idea why she was being this defensive. The sensible part of her screamed no, it was telling her to stay with Millay. She could have a happy life as a single parent with no Lelouch. But a smaller, reckless part of her kept telling her to take the risk and that her history wouldn't repeat itself. She had no logical, explainable explanation as to why she was deserting her best friend for her "baby daddy".
Millay struggled inwardly with what Kallen had said, it was obvious on her face. It partially shocked Kallen when Millay stood to the side and gave her a passage to leave.
"Go. We aren't friends any longer. A friend would not do this to me," she said in a small voice. Kallen grabbed her suitcase tightly.
"For crying out loud, stop being so damn selfish!" Kallen screamed and she marched out of her room and down the hall. She was expecting, she was hoping for Millay to stop her one more time, for Millay to call her back…but there were no more words from her and Kallen felt as if a hand was around her heart, squeezing it, putting her in unbearable pain. When she closed the front door on her friend, she knew she had closed the door to her former life. She knew Millay would never completely forgive her. She knew that they would never be as close as they had been. And tears came to her eyes. She was completely lost now. Why had she done it? Just to live with Lelouch, the root of all her problems? Why was she torturing herself like this? Why was she making the this mistake…again?
Her eyes were blurry and she couldn't see the steps so well, almost tumbling down the few flights of stairs on several occasions. When she stumbled into the parking lot, she remembered that she hadn't called Lelouch to pick her up. She set down her suitcase and dropped herself onto it, sitting on it, her legs forming an upside down V. She dropped her head into her hands. Everything was a disaster…correction…she was a disaster!
She was there for only a few minutes when she felt a hand on her shoulder and a body pressed against hers. Oh good! Millay had changed her mind! Kallen looked up, rubbing her eyes free of her tears and tucking her hair behind her ears to see her best friend. A figure with a pair of green eyes and disheveled brown hair stared back at her…and was that concern on his face. Kallen flew off of her make shift seat and as far away from him as possible.
"I have mace!" She bluffed. He started to laugh. She blinked twice and then realized why he was laughing.
"Kallen," she said, trying to suppress his laughter. Kallen blushed, bit her lip and cast her eyes on the ground.
"Oh…Mr. Kururugi…sorry. I just wasn't…expecting you here…at 1:16 in the morning," Kallen said. She glanced at her watch and narrowed her eyes suspiciously. Why was he hanging around their apartment building at these hours?
"This looks weird, right, but I'm actually working right now. And seeing as filling up this building with people is my prime concern, I decided to come here and see if I could come up with anything new and catchy to attract the potential customers," he said without skipping a beat. Kallen folded her arms across her chest.
"Working? I don't believe you," she said. He pushed his hands into the pockets of his jeans and shifted his body weight onto one leg. Kallen thought it was a sexy pose.
"Truth be told Kallen…can we talk in my car? I'd feel much more comfortable there," he said. Kallen mused over his offer for a second, mentally comparing the good part of going into his car with the bad part.
"Ok," she agreed.
"Good, I parked over here," he said and began to lead her over to the darkest part of the parking lot. Kallen gulped and followed him. Ok, so if he tried to pull anything on her, she would use what she and Millay learnt from that self-defense class they took one summer…10 years ago!
"Actually…I need to go," Kallen said. She was stopped by the opening of his car door.
"Calm down, Kallen. I'm totally harmless," he said, motioning for her to get inside the car. She did the one second musing thing and decided to climb into the passenger's side. She knew it wasn't the best decision to make, but she also knew that climbing into his car would be somewhat important. He closed the door behind her and made his way over to the driver's side. Kallen took these few seconds to make sure the car door was just closed and not locked. She glanced around quickly, deciding that she would break his sunglasses that decorated his dashboard and stab him if he did decide to attack.
He entered the car and sat in the seat. He turned toward Kallen and took a deep breath. Kallen was using all of her willpower to not reach out and touch his hair and his cheek. He looked so perfect at that moment.
"This has been on my mind for a while now and I haven't had anyone to share it with…" he started.
"So…why me?" Kallen asked. He smiled at her and reached out to caress her cheek, running his fingers across her bottom lip upon withdrawal. She shivered, unnoticed to him.
"I like you, Kallen…a lot," he said.
"I like you too, Mr. Kururugi," Kallen blurted out, "but I can't like you," she added, her 'situation' making itself all too well known in her head.
"Why? Is it because you call me Mister and Sir?" He asked, smiling.
"No…it's because I'm pregnant," she said and looked away.
"Oh, you are…who for? He asked, interest in his voice.
"This guy, I'd rather not discuss it with you. It's too personal," she said, deflecting his question.
"Well, I don't care, Kallen. I can help you with your child if he doesn't…I can be the baby's dad," he said, reaching over to her, touching her stomach this time. She tensed upon contact.
"You don't understand, it's never going to work! And I thought we were talking about you!" Kallen yelled at him. It didn't seem as if her yelling had perturbed him at all.
"I like you so much, Kallen Stadfeld," he said, his voice getting husky all of a sudden. Kallen wet her lips. Was what she was thinking about actually going to happen? He leaned forward, and so did she. She closed her eyes as his hand held her chin. He tilted her head sideways and though she didn't see him, she could feel his lips pressing against hers. His kisses were short, sweet and constant. Kallen's hands rested on his thighs and she melted into the innocence of his kisses.
When he pulled back, she was disappointed.
"The plain truth is…I have no life, so I submerge myself in my work. Making you a part of my life would greatly improve it," he said.
"So, that's why you're here so late?" She asked, not really caring about his answer, just desiring one more kiss from him.
"You want me to kiss you again, don't you?" He asked. Kallen nodded again and smiled. He smiled too and did the same thing as before, hand under chin with sweet innocent kisses. When he pulled back Kallen couldn't help the little frown that popped up on her face. Sure his kisses were nice, he was a great kisser…but where was the excitement? She blushed when she remembered the last kiss she had gotten from Lelouch. Just thinking about it made her start to sweat from all the heat. Despite her protesting afterward, she had to admit to herself, it was simply…WOW!
"Mr. Kururugi…I have one more little secret," Kallen said when they parted.
"What's that?" He murmured, his eyes resting on her chest. She squirmed in her seat and prayed that he would avert his eyes and save her further discomfort.
"I'm going to be living with the father," she said, crossing her fingers mentally that he wouldn't be discouraged about pursuing her upon that note.
"Seems I have a little competition. But it's cool, winning is in my blood," he said, moving his eyes to her face. Kallen couldn't help staring at him, her mouth agape.
"Really?" She asked. This was almost too good to be true!
"Really," he reassured her.
"Oh…ok then," she said, pushing a few strands of her hair behind her ear and pressing herself into the seat.
"So, since we're…an item now, how about I drop you off at wherever you're going?" He asked.
"Um…sure…I don't see anything wrong with that," she said. So Mr. Kururugi was her new boyfriend…but she didn't know a thing about him, she didn't even know his first name.
"As long as you tell me your real, first name," she added hurriedly, before he could get the car door open.
"First names are over-rated, Ms. Stadfeld," he said, opened the door and left to retrieve her suitcase.

Kallen brushed her lips against Mr. Kururugi's for the last time that night. He sighed in content as they pulled apart. She smiled shyly at him and his eyes roamed her body, lustfully. Kallen frowned, when would she ever get a boyfriend that loved her personality first before loving her body? Maybe she was asking for too much, after all, it was impossible to ignore her physical features. At least that's what the guy who she dated in the 9th grade told her, right before he tried taking her underwear off. That relationship had ended badly, the guy had ended up being beaten very terribly by Kallen's older brother.
They both exited the car. While Kallen gazed on curiously at the house sitting in the middle of a perfectly manicured lawn, in a crime-free, middle class neighbourhood, wondering if she had gotten the address right, Mr. Kururugi popped open the trunk and took out her suitcase.
"Is this the place?" He asked, joining her to stare curiously at it.
"I think so, I should probably check it out to make sure," she said, "wait in the car to make sure I have a ride if this is the wrong place," she added. She took a deep breath to calm her nervousness a little before she drew her bag and herself up to the veranda of the house. As she stepped onto the welcoming mat, the lights flickered on. She tensed, afraid that she had trespassed on someone's property and that she had triggered a booby trap. She thought all that before Lelouch opened the door and looked out groggily at her.
"Hi, Kallen," he murmured.
"Hey Lelouch…did you forget I was coming over tonight?" She asked, she heard Mr. Kururugi start his engine.
"No…well…I was never one to lie. Yes, I completely forgot, now gimme your luggage and get your fine ass inside," he said with a sleepy grin. She turned around and waved goodbye to the brown haired cutie residing in the shadows before he drove off.
"Thanks for being sensitive," Kallen said sarcastically as she stepped inside. It was completely dark but she could make out that the space was relatively empty. Lelouch flipped a switch and illuminated the hall.
"Yeah, yeah, my pleasure. Who drove you here?" He asked, peering out the windows to see if he could spot the car, but it was already gone. Kallen smiled to herself, blissfully.
"My new boyfriend, who you will know nothing about, so don't ask," she said. She was guessing it was supposed to be the living room…but it only haled a few sealed boxes.
Lelouch stepped on the little green monster that he knew was beginning to grow inside of him. He had made an agreement with her, and he would honour it…maybe.
"Fine, whatever. Just make sure I never find him in this house or else I'm gonna shove a broom up his ass," he said.
"So…where did you get a house? I never saw you as a homely person," she said. The house was perfect for a family.
"I cut off my balls and called in some favours. Have you forgotten, my family is the richest family in the whole stinking Britannia," he said, turning down the short hallway. She followed.
"I never really liked Britannia either…by the way, you need to tell me about your family. Has it occurred to you that I know nothing about you?" She asked.
"Maybe tomorrow, I'm kinda tired right now," he said, stopping in front of a plain door at the corner of the hallway, "so why do you hate Britannia?" He asked, opening the door for her. She took her suitcase from him and walked into the dark room.
"I'm feeling really tired right now, maybe I'll tell you tomorrow morning," she smirked and slammed the door in his face.

She wasn't what he had expected, he had to admit. Normally Lelouch went for sluts and bitches addicted to sex, namely Shirley and C.C. So where did Kallen fit into this equation? Maybe it was her tits. That was probably why he knocked her up. But, why not C.C.? She was his wife…well ex-wife…for the second time. He had never known Lelouch as the type of get married, so why C.C.? It was a little confusing to think about while driving. What was he missing out on?
Suzaku pulled into his garage in a plain house, his temporary head-quarters. With luck, Kallen wouldn't tell Lelouch much about him-Mr. Kururugi-and if things went according to plan, he would finally have Lelouch in just the spot he wanted him.
Kallen's scent lingered in the car- a faint yet wonderful smell. Suzaku closed his eyes and inhaled it. Yes, it would be absolute heaven to have her beautiful scent clogging his nostrils while he pounded her into the back seat of his car. And those tits! Talk about major jackpot. He could imagine everything now. Kallen's perfect body sprawled out of his back seat, begging for him. Just thinking about it made him horny. He wasn't interested in Kallen the way she thought he was. He wasn't the loving, accepting boyfriend that she wanted and thought he was. He only wanted to have sex with her, thanks to her huge jugglers.

It was hard for her to understand. How could Lelouch dump her for some barely out of their teen's bimbo? C.C. wiped the tear-streaked mascara from her cheeks with her hands. Damn! Why hadn't she gone for water-proof?
Right about now she hated Kallen Stadfeld with such fiery passion that she swore to herself that she would kill her! She would kill her for stealing her husband! Where had she gone wrong? She had loved him! She had allowed him to do everything and anything with her body! She had accepted him! But he had never made her pregnant though she had begged him to. She simply couldn't understand. She hacked out some more tears and she folded herself up on the strange bed, hugging her knees to her chest.
She heard the front door open and flew up from her spot. He was home! She scrambled into the bathroom, knowing that he would storm up those steps and release all his frustrations and satisfactions on her. But she didn't mind, she loved it actually. It was something she had Lelouch had in common-sex was a way to forget disappointments.
"Hey, bitch!" Suzaku yelled as he crashed into the room. C.C. jumped out of the bathroom, lingerie on, all signs of crying hidden.
"Hello there," she winked at him. Suzaku sat on the bed and began to take his shoes off.
"Seems your husband has got a new fancy in his life, my dear C.C.," he said. C.C. sat beside him and began to massage his shoulders.
"I know, I hate that whore," C.C. spat out. Suzaku laughed.
"I think she's a pretty little thing," he said. C.C.'s eyebrows furrowed angrily. She collapsed on the bed in a seductive pose. Suzaku turned around to see why she had stopped.
"I want to hear what you think of my new outfit," she said. It was see-through all over. Suzaku smirked in satisfaction as he crawled over her. He would allow her to think she was worthwhile tonight, and he would think about Kallen meanwhile, and he would think about…no, he couldn't think about her, it would be too painful.
"Oh, C.C., you devil," he said as he pressed his lips to hers roughly in a kiss.
A lot of sexual stuff going on here, nothing too brash I hope. I'm too innocent and sweet for that. 0:) Anyway, tell me what you think about this new progression. I wonder what our dear Suzy has up his sleeve…the only way to find out is to read…or tell me cuz I'm still wondering what Suzaku should do. I'm thinking kidnapping…anymore suggestions? Feel free to share what's on your mind! :D
