A/N: And here's a second, less objectionable, though still perverted extra.
Disclaimer: I do not own Code Geass. I do own my characters.
Setting: interwoven between somewhere after Turn 33 and before Turn 37 and a week after the events of "The Last Days of Innocence"
Megami sighed loudly as she fidgeted upon her bed. She couldn't sleep. The battle was swift approaching. Soon, Chiharu would be forced to fly against her own people. It was painful to think about. Megami couldn't sleep with it on her mind. She needed sleep. She wanted sleep. She needed something to take her mind off of it all.
She glanced at Chiharu. The girl had somehow found sleep herself. Chiharu had great strength; she was able to cut off so emotion, convinced she'd find a way though everything in time. Megami was weak by comparison. She envied people like Chiharu Ohgi.
She envied people like Vivia Clarimond.

"One of the most important parts of knowing a woman, is knowing what she wears, down to the most intimate detail," Viva started with a quiet nod. "That, Lucrecia, is why you must always guard your panties with your life. It is the greatest window into the character of a woman."
"Just what are you telling the girl, Viva?" Ashlynn asked, giving a quiet sigh, as she walked in on the scene. Her friend Vivia Clarimond was speaking to the very young Lucrecia Harrison.
"The simple honest truth, Ashlynn," said Vivia. "Lucrecia was making things far too easy. She gave that corrupt priest a good up-skirt."
"Heh, then I suppose it's for the best," said Ashlynn. "Big Sis Vivia is right, Lucrecia. Don't let anyone, especially men, see your panties. They're something a girl should protect."
"Umm... Okay, big sisters..." said Lucrecia in an angelic, innocent voice. "I think I understand."
"But makes sure you remember it all, Lucrecia," said Vivia. "They're not just something to protect but a window into the woman's very soul."
"Are you okay?" Ashlynn asked with a laugh. "This isn't like you."
"Excuse me. It's just that panties are a serious subject," said Vivia nodding. Ashlynn rolled her eyes. Serious was right. Serious enough to change her character completely.
"Alright... I'll be more careful from now on," Lucrecia said cutely, skipping forward. Almost immediately she tripped and fell over, her skirt flipping up to reveal childish tiger print panties. Ashlynn almost felt like laughing.
The girl sat up hurriedly and blushed ."I'm sorry..." she said all flushed. "I'll do better next time."
Ashlynn laughed. So did Vivia. They helped the girl up and sent her on her way.
"Lucrecia sure is a cute little thing," said Viva. "She seriously needs to watch herself. it'd be far to easy to take advantage of that girl."
"Tell me about it. I'm worried what she'll do with here in a few years..." Ashlynn started, looking down.
"Well, we just need to keep her busy long enough so she doesn't have to lay a hand on little Lucrecia. Shouldn't be too hard," said Vivia, smiling.
"Yeah. I guess not," Ashlynn said, sighing.
"You're still thinking about what we talked about that day, aren't you?" asked Vivia, shrugging.
"I can't avoid it," said Ashlynn in a low.
"Find something to take your mind off of it," Vivia said nodding. "Sometimes it's surprising what can keep us blissfully amused in spite of our troubles."
"Yeah, maybe," said Ashlynn in a sigh.
"Well, it's getting late. I need my sleep," said Vivia; considering how much the girl did sleep, Megami had to wonder how this was possible. "See ya."
"Good night," Ashlynn said, waving to the other and turning around to to her room.
When she sat on her bed, she didn't feel like sleeping. After a while the idea for a devious game entered her mind as she dwelled on all of Vivia's words. She tried to silence the idea but it didn't go away. It was a perverted thing to do, but Ashlynn had a perverted side.
"A window to a woman's soul, huh?" she said with a smirk as she got to her feet, activating her Geass. "We'll see just how true that is."
---
Vivia was so much like Chiharu. Well, Chiharu didn't have any dramatic speeches about panties, at least not that Megami could recall. In fact, the cute Japanese girl seemed hardly concerned with her undergarments, wearing drab and simple ware, more for comfort than style.
Still, the idea had already entered her twisted mind and she couldn't stop it. It was time for another game. She activated her Geass and stood. She went first to Chiharu's drawer and opened it. She had taken some of Chiharu's before, but perhaps the girl had changed her taste. Megami held out the hope. The two of them were slowly growing closer. Maybe she'd see the need to wear something sexier now.
Megami opened the drawer to find nothing but sports bras and bike shorts, the same as before. Megami sighed and stowed some of the shorts away.
"God, Chiharu when are you going to start wearing something a little sexier," she said under her breath. She supposed it was cute in a way.
That done Megami left their room and moved out into the corridors of Castle Amarantha. She was familiar with layout of the castle and knew where all the female inhabitants were. She moved to the closest, the room belonging to the former Knight of Six, who had betrayed Britannia it seemed. Megami had retrieved a garment from this woman during her last raid, but she still would take another. She didn't want to leave anyone out.
She slipped quietly into Rowena Winfield's room. The woman was tossing in her bed, but asleep. She had looked weary since arriving here. She was definitely conflicted. Megami couldn't say she felt for her. Even if she regret it now ,the woman was stupid enough to let herself get trapped for nothing.
Megami slid quietly to the drawers in the woman's room. She opened the top one. She hit the jackpot. She was surprised to find that the contents were so different from what they had been in the other castle. What had once been the highest-end lingerie money could buy was now fairly simple, ordinary ware. Mostly dark colors, simple fabrics. Megami grabbed a pair of dark blue cotton panties and put them in her coat. She stared at Rowena, supposing that her soul had changed if the all important window had been repainted.
Content with her selection, Megami left that room and proceeded to another. The Four Champions of the EU were currently staying in the castle as the EU President they served under ironed out some final details of the coming operation with Deifilia. Cesia Moreva was using a nearby room. Megami slipped into it. The woman was fast asleep. She looked rather beautiful in a relaxed state, with her glasses off and hair down, dressed in only a thin night gown. The woman usually looked so stiff.
Megami found the woman's underwear drawer. There were only a few pairs, as she was only staying a few days. An unpacked bag was sitting in the cornier of the room even. Cesia, contrary to her character, seemed to really like cute underwear. it was all kind of childish. Pinks, frills, stripes. It was all cute, but totally unexpected. Megami giggled and grabbed a particularly cute pink and white striped pair an stowed it away.
She moved from the EU champion to an old friend. Naida's room was just around the corner. She giggled softly before entering. Naida's Geass remained active even in sleep. Megami didn't know the strange woman lying in the bed. She had watched Naida sleep a bit before though and knew that she would change shape in her sleep every few hours, seemingly completely at random, perhaps based on her dreams, sometimes to amusing results.
She slid over to Naida's drawers. She opened the middle one, knowing from experience. Sure enough, it was full of underwear. Looking into the drawer, seemingly unchanged in six years, brought back memories. This didn't stop Megami from taking some white silk and putting it in her pocket.
---
Ashlynn felt a little ashamed of herself as she left her room. This really was a dumb idea Vivia had given her. Why was she doing this? She sighed. She supposed it would be fun. She snickered as she moved silently down the hall. Who was closest? Naida, she supposed.
She slunk down the halls and into her friends room. Naida was sleeping on the bed. Or, she assumed it was Naida. She didn't recognize the guy. She shrugged and moved to Naida's drawers. She opened the top; it was empty save for a few accessories. The second drawer contained a few select scraps of clothing, but nothing interesting. It was the third drawer, the middle drawer that contained the treasure.
Ashlynn held up a bra. So Naida's this big? She smiled. It was a nice size, smaller than Megami but far from small. It was kind of strange she thought, being friends with someone and you don't even know what they truly look like. She supposed the underwear really was a window into Naida, as it was something that wouldn't ever be seen while on the woman. Megami looked through the panties. It was some cute lingerie. Not too fancy, not too simple. Cute stuff, really. The kind of stuff a woman would want her lover to see on her. She supposed that was kind of sad.
She put a black lace pair of panties in her pocket and stood to leave.
---
Megami grinned as the memories left her and she left Naida's room. Nest was the other betrayer knight. Regina Granville. Again, this was a recent conquest, but this was mostly just for the take anyway. It was worth it in the end. Megami slipped soundlessly into the woman's room.
The girl was sleeping inside. She hadn't been there in Britannia. This was the first Megami had seen her sleeping. She was actually smiling in her sleep. It made her look human. She seemed comfortable and cute. Megami moved quickly to her drawer.
Most of them were empty. The girl hadn't even brought her photos of her brother with her. In fact, when Megami did find panties, they were completely different. She wondered if the girl hadn't packed anything. The new panties, which had likely been given to her were more adult lingerie, the kind Deifilia might just have on hand to give out to someone who had nothing else. It was boring to the cute trophy Megami had gotten from Regina last time.
That done, Megami moved from the room of one fairly hollow girl to another, completely hollow girl. Signa Norrell was out. She was likely keeping watch over her Master's room. This was good. The girl was creepy at time. Unsettling. Still, a free underwear grab was always fun.
She moved to the girl's drawer and opened it. She retrieved a sexy black thong and stared at it for a moment. Deifilia Amarantha was definitely at work here. She stowed it away and sighed, remembering.
---
Ashlynn nodded. One down, more to go. Next on her list was Signa, outwardly cold as ice, but maybe not completely, she had always thought. She was a cute girl nonetheless. Ashlynn was eager for what she'd find as she slipped into the girl's room.
Signa was sleeping peacefully. Her blank expression looked almost cute. Ashlynn smiled as she passed her by and moved to her drawer. It was obvious as she went though all the drawers that Deifilia had selected everything the girl wore. It was all sexualized. It was kind of discomforting that that woman made a sex doll of this girl with little emotion.
Still, Ashlynn found herself staring awfully hard at the girl's underwear, picturing the fair skinned beauty in each of the pieces. She liked the image, especially when the girl was stripped down to it and presented a cookie, the one thing that seemed to get a truly adorable reaction from her. Thinking about it made Ashlynn smile. She stuffed some red crotchless panties in her pocket as she did.
She glanced at Signa, feeling bad for her. Emotions in away were one of the worse things Geass could have taken.
---
Signa crossed off the list, Megami quickly selected her next target. Valeria Giullare, the other of the female EU champions. She was a real cutie. Megami smiled as she proceeded to her room, slipping in without effort.
The girl slept in the nude, much to Megami's delight. She stared hard for the while at her tanned, slight, feminine figure. She truly was cute, and her dreamy expression only added to the effect. It made Megami eager to find the girl's underwear.
She moved to the girl's drawers. She searched them all. Every single one of them was empty. Thinking the girl had simply never unpacked her stuff, Megami moved to the bag in the corner of the room. She searched it. She found a bunch of electronic gadgets that didn't seem to belong, three handguns, and a knightmare frame model but absolutely no clothing. Perplexed, Megami moved over to where the woman's EU military uniform had been tossed on the floor. She searched through it. There was not a bra or pair of panties anywhere to be found.
Megami scratched her head. Did this girl just not wear underwear, or had she simply forgot to bring any. If so, what did that say about her? It was pretty damn strange to say the least. megami shrugged, disappointed not to have a trophy, and left.
She moved readily to Lucrecia's room. Lucrecia had blossomed into a cute young woman. She was still much to young for Megami's tastes, but she was taking shape as a woman. She certainly looked adorable sleeping in her room at least. She looked cute and innocent, like the young girl she was.
Feeling a little ashamed, Megami moved to her underwear drawer. She opened it. She felt like sighing. If this was a window into the soul, Lucrecia must have the most complex soul in existence these days. The girl had literally everything. Out of curiosity, opened the other drawers. They all contained underwear. It was shocking really. Megami had never seen such a collection. it seemed almost like an obsession.
Megami was at a loss for what to take. Adult lingerie, child prints, bike shorts, simpler stuff, leggings, lacy stuff, silky stuff, see through fabrics, interesting cuts, thongs, every style Megami had ever seen was represented. Eventually she decided on a fairly innocent pair of pink panties with a cute little frill on them. She smiled an stood to leave.
---
Ashlynn had no interest what so ever in a six year old girl's panties. Even so, this was a game she had started. The point was securing the trophies without anyone noticing. It was a test of her thief skills as well as an exercise in discovering things about her comrades. Besides, on some level, Lucrecia would want to be included, Ashlynn thought. She nodded as she slept into the child's room.
Lucrecia was sleeping cutely while she snuggled against an oversized stuffed bear. She looked so innocent that Ashlynn began to feel horrible. This was wrong. She was about to turn back when she felt compelled to see it through. She went to the girl's drawers and opened them.
She found the panty drawer swiftly enough. It was full of cute, girlish fare. Most of it had patterns or stripes or animal prints. Looking over at Lucrecia and her stuffed toy again she decided to take one decorated with the image of a bear and stuff it away. She shrugged and got up, glad to be done with this room.
---
Megami sighed as she reemerged in the corridor. Marcella Belita, or Yasuko Tohdoh, as she would always be known in Megami's heart, was next. This girl's situation really pissed Megami off, but it wouldn't deter her. Panties were panties. She could take Yasuko's panties again without feeling too bad about it, even if the girl had been twisted now.
Those thoughts in mind, se darted through the halls to find the girl's room. She snuck in quietly. Marcella was tossing in her sleep. She looked downright restless. Megami watched her for a while.
"Miss... Hilde..." she said in her sleep, dreaming of someone she wouldn't remember when she woke up. Megami felt her energy drained, saddened at the thought. Deifilia Amarantha was really fucking evil. She snarled as she stomped toward the girl's underwear drawer. She retrieved an obvious Deifilia selected black thong from the girl's collection of similar pieces and shoved it in her coat without looking at it. Then she left abruptly.
It was when she emerged into the corridors that she found herself face to face with an all too familiar woman.
"Enjoying ourselves again, are we, miss underwear thief?" asked the witch D.D. with a smile.
"Shut up," Megami said. "I don't have time for you today."
"And yet you have time to steal underwear," D.D. giggled. "Funny how that is."
"I think you misunderstand it," said Megami, looking down.
"I'm not sure what there is to misunderstand," the other woman said with an amused smirk.
"Whatever you say. Either way, I'm done," said Megami, closing her eyes.
"Oh, have you taken from her yet? Our great and beautiful master?" asked the witch sarcastically.
"I'd rather die than look at that woman's underwear," said Megami in a low voice. "Besides, Signa would hear me if I approached her. She'd attack even if she couldn't see me."
"Hmm, fair point," said the witch turning around. "I suppose I'll leave you be then."
Yes, Deifilia Amarantha wasn't on the list tonight. She had been once though.
---
Ashlynn was nervous about the next target on her list. It felt horribly dangerous stealing from someone so powerful. She owed a lot to Deifilia Amarantha, but she couldn't trust the woman. There was something off putting about her. But her bed was warm and she was a stunning beauty. Ashlynn had taken panties off of her before, so she knew the woman's style. In this case, she wanted the garment for herself.
Ashlynn approached the massive door to the large, royal bedroom of the castle that Deifilia used. Opening the doors without a sound would be hard. Still, she felt she could do it. She undid the lock with her meticulous skill and began to open it very slowly. She slipped in when there was just enough room for her to pass through.
She looked around the expansive room. Deifilia was sleeping there. Vulnerable. As powerful as she was, if Ashlynn had a weapon then she could have killed the woman. She didn't have a reason to. She owed the woman so much. She had nowhere else to go. So, instead, she moved to the beautiful woman's drawers. She began to rummage through them quietly.
Underwear occupied a larger percentage of them. Deifilia had a lot of unique pieces. All sorts of fancy lingerie, garters, stockings, all sorts of wonderfully cut was all rather alluring. Ashlynn couldn't help but feel like she was looking at something good. She didn't know what to take. Inevitably it was a fairly simple pair of silken red panties that she took. She had looked at them and recalled her first time in the woman's bed. She had worn these. Ashlynn smiled weakly and left as quietly as she could.
---
Megami gave a long sigh as she returned to her bedroom. She slipped in silently trying not to wake Chiharu. She took off her coat and pants and sat upon the bed. She failed her mission. Chiharu was awake. This provided a good excuse to get the requisite warmth from the girl to become visible.
"Where have you been?" the girl asked.
"Nowhere important," said Megami with a smile.
'Whatever you say," Chiharu shrugged.
"You know what, Chiharu?" Megami started with a smile suddenly.
"What?" asked Chiharu, curious.
"You should start wearing cuter panties," said Megami with a smile. The other glared at her.
"Just what is that about?" she asked.
"I'm being serious," said Megami.
"While it's still a stupid thing to say," said Chiharu. "It's not like it really even matters."
"Oh, but Chiharu, on the contrary," Megami started with a snicker. "One of the most important parts of knowing a woman, is knowing what she wears, down to the most intimate detail."
"Huh?" Chiharu started, completely bemused.
"Panties," Megami clarified. "They're a window into a woman's soul."
Chiharu began to laugh hysterically. "You're crazy," she said in an amused voice. "Go to sleep, you need it."
Megami smiled. Some final thoughts hit her before sleep did.
---
Ashlynn grinned as she approached the room of the final name of on her list. After her panty speech, Chiharu was eager to see what sort of panties Vivia herself bet they were giggled softly as she stepped inside. The older woman appeared to be sleeping peacefully. She moved to her underwear drawer.
She sifted through it. It really was cute. Vivia liked summery colors and the occasional cute pattern. Ashlynn held up a bright green pair proudly, nodding as she did.
"Like what we see?" a voice said from behind her. She had been caught. She turned around to see Vivia sitting up in her bed.
"I was... I just..." Ashlynn started.
Vivia laughed. "I wondered if you might try something like this. If that curiously perverted part of you might twist my words a little."
"I'm not--" Ashlynn started.
"It's okay," said Vivia with a smile. "Actually, you can keep those if you want."
"I'd feel awkward now," said Ashlynn, looking down even though she knew the other couldn't see her.
"Nope. Consider it a little part of me for you to keep," said Vivia in a low voice.
"Uh... okay..." said Ashlynn, standing. Vivia stood as well She moved forward and reached out to Ashlynn, brief contact deactivating her Geass.
"Now get to sleep," Vivia said. "You crazy girl."
Ashlynn shook her head and blushed. Then she smiled. things were uneasy then, but they were oaky,. If they stayed like that, she could be happy.
They didn't.
A/N; End extra. So more panty raids. This time split between present and past with the past stuff explaining the origins of Megami's panty raiding. Anyway, this one seemed more standard. A lot of these characters couldn't' have much surprise to them. Still, I think it's cute.
