A/N: I just noticed that I post a new chapter every month? Weird. Anyways, I worked on this all day today and did a little proofreading before I released it. Still, enjoy it. I tried to keep things 'borderline lemon'. But probably a lemon in the next chapter, not sure. Also, finale is the next chapter.
(1) - Yep, I tried to keep it...well, I don't know.
Chapter Four: The Strange Art of the Love-Emulator
What is the heart's way of love? - One thing that was on Lelouch's mind one day, a pretty strange question but interesting. Nobody could predict who he would fall in love with, and nobody, not even Bender, could predict that he would fall in love with Cornelia. Maybe something just sparked between them, not sure but either way, he couldn't go against his heart, no matter how strange the heart chooses.
What the hell am I doing? - Another thought Lelouch had when he was deep inside of Cornelia. That question roamed around for a while, but rather it faded away eventually. He had no idea what to do, he thought he could reject his sister, like he was always doing before; but the fact that they have never been close since ever, he decided to closer to Cornelia, although she was brainwashed. And he was too. His acts may be unforgivable when she snaps out of it, at least he, for just a short time, was closer to her.
Am I really in love with Cornelia? - The third thought he had on his mind, Lelouch was absolutely unsure if he was in love with her, or he was just in love with the brainwashed Cornelia. Maybe he needed to let in sink in for a bit, but he couldn't let in go in. But one day, he felt some kind of chemistry between them when he hugged her, and he felt this strange energy, not hatred but instead, it was just sibling love. Lelouch wanted to hate her, but when he realized that he had no reason too. But that didn't change his opinion on her, he was not very sure if what he had for was real or not? Maybe he needed to figure that himself.
I guess...I really do love her. Do I love her? - The last question on his mind so far, he wondered if he should accept his feelings for Cornelia; however, he wondered if she felt the same way, the normal one. But what he doesn't know is that Cornelia had hid her own affections for Lelouch, and made sure he never found out. In fact, she always wanted to be close to him, like he was to Euphemia.
She was jealous of her sister since she wanted to know Lelouch better than she did. For many years, Cornelia tried to deny the fact she has a brother complex, since she was confused. But the only person that knows about Cornelia's brother complex is Bender, and she had no idea that he knows. For both sides, the non-brainwashed Cornelia is trying hard to keep her feelings for Lelouch, while he had difficulty with his feelings for her.
But the main question that still roams is, would he feel the same way for her if Bender didn't give her the Love-Emulator? - That's still a question that he needs to decide on his own.
Back in Texas, Bender and Suzaku readied themselves for their next move, and now that they have to deal with Guilford on the side, it's possible that this time, they will be more than lucky. However, they've been watching them for nearly two weeks and things hasn't once messed up, mainly because Lelouch has been cooperative throughout the entire thing. Now that they got word about what they're gonna do next, Bender decided to mix things up a bit...
While Suzaku did some work around the lab, Guilford was trying to sink in what they told him, "So, let me get this straight: You purposely injected the princess with a drug so you can experiment on her and her brother?" He said, trying to summary it up.
"Yep. Exactly, what of it?" Bender agreed while chugging a keg of beer.
"Wow, call me insane but...That's pretty genius of you, Bender. You two, Suzaku."
"We're not geniuses..." Suzaku stated.
"...We're fucking idiots." Bender completed.
"But you should agree that this is pretty clever."
"Maybe, maybe not. I'm not so sure."
"Hey, Bender?" Suzaku went and asked, "I just wondered something, isn't incest illegal in Japan?"
"Nope; It's been okay there for hundreds of years."
"Seriously?..."
"Yep; But couples can't marry."
"Ah...wait a minute..."
"No, 'wait a minute'. We got some new work to do." Bender announced as he went into his files and other info, "Okay, when I was looking through some things last night, I found out that Lelouch and Cornelia are leaving for Kyoto today. They'll be there for the next few days."
"So, wait. We'll be following them?" Suzaku wondered.
"You and me, yes. Guilford; no…"
"Wait, why not me?" He protested.
"It's because you'll be going with them. I know her; she may need her knight to accommodate them."
"How am I able to do that exactly?"
"Go to his house, and ask if you may accommodate them there and guard them." Bender explained slowly, "Just don't let them find out that you know about it, or else they'll ask questions."
"How will I get them to tell me?" Guilford asked.
Suzaku smacked his hand on his face, and mumbled, "God, you ask so many questions."
"Simple, ask them where they're going, and just steer the conversation enough where one of them spills it." Bender continued to explain.
"Alright; I should hurry up and go there. Wait, doesn't he live in Japan?"
"Yes."
"Then how am I supposed to get to them in time, if we're in Texas?"
"That's why I have a transporter. I'll get you there in no time. Now, let's go already."
Meanwhile, in Japan, the half-siblings were getting ready to leave, while Guilford was coming their way, maybe. Lelouch had completely forgot about the drug, and for the last few days, he focused on nobody but Cornelia. Some might find it weird, but for them, nobody's opinion mattered. All Lelouch cared about was finally being close to her, even though the true Cornelia is trapped inside of herself.
They got all the bags downstairs, and were about to load up the car, but she wanted to tell him something first:
"Hey, Lelouch; Are you as anxious to go on this trip like me?"
"Of course I am, my precious Nellie."
She giggled when he called her by that name, however, if the normal Cornelia heard him call her that, she'd kill him. But she responded, "Are you teasing me again?"
"Maybe...probably. But come on, it's a cute nickname for you."
"Like the nickname, Lulu suits you?"
"You are a fighter, Nellie. A beautiful one too..."
Cornelia began blushing, so she charged at him and kisses him. And like before, Lelouch felt the energy between them, honestly, he loved kissing Cornelia and he loved any sort of contact from her that wasn't violent, of course. But then, they hear a knock on the door, and so they break up the kiss so Lelouch could answer it.
After several minutes, Guilford had been transported to a series of places, except his actual destination. He angrily mumbled as he waited:
"Fucking robot, I'm okay with what he's doing with the princess, but sending me place where I can get killed is too much." He had literally been places, in less than ten minutes max. For instance.
Flashback...about five minutes ago...
*Guilford is successfully transported, but Bender's coordinates were way off...*
Suzaku: "Umm...Bender, that's not his house. It looks like...where is he?"
Bender: "Let me see.." *looks at where he sent Guilford, and finds out where he really sent him* "Ah crap, I sent him to the wrong place."
Suzaku: "Where exactly did you send him?"
Bender: "A dangerous camp in North Korea."
Suzaku: "WHAT? DUDE! Get him outta there!"
Bender: "Alright, alright, alright. Gawd."
End of flashback...
After a few moments, and I do mean a few, Lelouch opens the door to see Guilford standing in front of him, inside he was pissed, outside he was the same as ever.
"Umm...what do you want?" He asked.
Guilford responded, "I would like to speak to her majesty for a moment."
"Okay, sur-" Lelouch said, but stopped his sentence when Cornelia jumps onto him in excitement when she hears Guilford's voice. Very unusual; even for her of all people.
"HORRAY!" Cornelia happily yelled. Yes happily… "You're here!"
"What's wrong with the princess?"
"Not so much, motherfucker." Lelouch murmured.
"What?"
"Hmm?" He replied, acting like he said nothing. Meanwhile, Guilford did exactly what Bender instructed him to do. Looking at the bags, he asked:
"So, what's with the bags, you two? Going somewhere?"
Cornelia eagerly nodded, "Yep. Me and my lover are going away for a few days alone."
"Cornelia, don't."
"Come on, Lulu. He's my knight, so he won't tell anyone. Right?"
For poor old Guilford, he tried not to pass out or even acknowledge what he heard, so he said, "I'll just pretend I didn't hear that."
"Good boy!" She said, patting his head. This made him more uncomfortable, so he just gave up and asked:
"Do you two want me to accommodate you both there?"
"Yes, you may."
"What?" Lelouch and Guilford said, Lelouch didn't understand why she made the decision, while Guilford couldn't believe that it worked.
"I thought this was supposed to be just us both, Nellie?" Lelouch asked, trying to keep his sanity. On the other side, Guilford didn't know which was weirder, the fact that Bender's plan worked so far, or the fact that someone actually and literally called her, 'Nellie'.
"Um, if you don't want me; that's okay, but I'm just seeing if you need protection."
"Don't worry; it's not a problem at all. Just as long as you let me and Lulu have our 'alone time'."
"Okay then, I'll load up the car for you guys and then we'll go."
"Excellent" Cornelia cheered.
"Fucker…" Lelouch mumbled.
Overhearing his comment, Guilford chose not to answer but instead went inside and took the bags outside. Meanwhile, like usual, Bender and Suzaku were viewing the cameras installed everywhere. While he left Suzaku to watch the cams, he went to retrieve some things so they can leave. With everybody ready on both sides, Lelouch and Cornelia headed off with her knight, while for some reason, Bender and Suzaku stayed where they were.
"Hey, why aren't we following?" Suzaku asked, while they waited in the surveillance van.
"Wait. In order to be stealth, you must stay a good distance." Bender quietly explained.
"Now wait..." He said, "...now we go."
They finally drive away, and Bender opens the portal so they can get on their tail, they successfully get through and now they're right behind them. But kept a good distance.
I want him, but is he really mine? - A thought that Cornelia had one night, although her mind and thoughts, etc were changed by Bender, she had some odd feelings since she started feeling sick. She couldn't help to think that if she kept holding on to Lelouch, it would badly affect them. She, along with Bender, knew that one day that her relationship with Lelouch would turn from non-existent to incestuous. And for a few years, she tried so hard from keeping that from happening, but at the same time, she wanted to have a relationship with him. She didn't want to take away Lelouch's whole life for her own selfish purposes. But she needed to be sure if she did love him.
Why did I convince myself to hate him like I did? - In truth, she was never sure if Lelouch was either her enemy or her younger brother. An interesting thought that for some reason brings up a great question; honestly, no one could really hate family, in Cornelia's case, she thought she hated Lelouch, or just flat out disliked him. In Lelouch's case, he hated almost everybody in his family but as for their strict protection and love for Euphemia and Nunnally, it might be the reason that they never communicate, to be exact, rarely speak to each other. Cornelia still wanted her little sister, but she also wanted her little brother. And for Lelouch, he also wanted his little sister, but he also wanted his older sister.
I do love him, I honestly do. But I'm afraid that he'll reject me. - For an odd reason, Cornelia feared if she came open to her feelings for him, he would reject her. She can take rejection well, but her heart couldn't and she knew completely that it would happen. But Bender made the drug so she wouldn't hide her affection from him, and to see if Lelouch would answer to her feelings. That was what his 'research' was about. She wanted to make up for all the missed time, she didn't care if their relationship would be come incestuous, friendly or just a close sibling relationship (not incest), as long as there wasn't hatred between them. Nobody could hide their feeling, not Cornelia, not Lelouch or anyone.
While they followed Lelouch and Cornelia, Guilford tried to keep them on their tail, since he was driving. Apparently, Bender forgot to install microphone in his car before they left, so he and Suzaku just followed instead. He wasn't as interested in the experiment as he thought, but he did want to watch the fireworks, as he so enjoyed.
In the other car, the two were in the front with Guilford and they continuously made out next to him, which made him pretty uncomfortable, with Cornelia's new attitude and the fact that she's making out with her brother. That part he didn't like at all, but he wasn't jealous, he didn't want anything to do with this, and he wanted to tell Lelouch straight up about what Bender is really cooking up, but he soon realized that by telling them, both Bender and Cornelia will kill him. So he chose to keep his mouth shut.
As for Bender and Suzaku behind them, they decided to have a little conversation...
"Okay, now answer this question; in fan-fictions, which fandom is the most insane?" Bender asked.
"That's easy. Naruto..."
"What? Why that?"
"Several reasons: The pairing are crazy, the fans are insane, the stories are a snooze-fest, there's too much of them, the super-fans are plain psycho, and etc."
"Wow, you're really critical, Suzaku?"
"Exactly; I watched the anime, I read the manga, and it was all good. But I'd rather chew my cock before I read that crazy mess."
"Okay, have you read this story?" Bender asked, showing him one of the fanfics.
"Oh, I read that one once." Suzaku replied, looking at the title.
"What did you think about it?"
"It's terrible. For anyone who thinks that's good, then I don't know how to respond to that, you're just a fucking idiot."
"Damn, man. That's kinda harsh. So anyways; I'm not all for the stories; I'm just in for the anime/manga."
"Well yeah."
Suzaku stayed silent for a little while, thinking about something. He looked at the car and he began to stare at it, until he got an idea...
"Hey, you know what we should do? We should record them getting it on or making out, and send it to Kallen. She'll fucking flip!"
Bender started laughing to the idea and agreed, "Oh god yes! We should record her reaction too and send it to everyone."
"I should send those videos to...oh never mind."
-A few hours later-
It was a peaceful afternoon for Lelouch, sitting outside watching birds, and anything interesting to him. He hadn't seen Cornelia since they arrived or Guilford since an hour ago, because he had returned to surveillance with Bender and Suzaku. He took out a book and started reading for a while; he eventually lied on his back, placed the book on his chest and closed his eyes. Hearing the peaceful sounds that surrounded him. Nothing could destroy his perfect mood, of course.
He was close to falling asleep, until he noticed that something was shading him, or rather, hovering over him. He opened his eyes and sees Cornelia looking down at him, smiling. She was wearing some black kimono, in which not even Lelouch knew she had. But that wasn't the case at the moment.
"Good afternoon, Lulu." Cornelia softly greeted. At some time, Lelouch got used to her new attitude.
"Good afternoon to you as well, Nellie…" He replied while he got up to kiss her for a quick moment.
"Where have you been? I haven't seen you since we got here."
"Oh, I just wanted to spend a little time alone, and then spend the rest of the day with you."
"Maybe we can know a little more about each other."
"Yeah, Exactly…" Lelouch replied. He leaned down to pluck a flower, more like a purple rose off and placed it Cornelia's hair, "Looks beautiful. Suits you perfectly."
"Thank you so much." Cornelia cried, until she got curious when she sees something on Lelouch's left arm, so she pointed out, "What's that on your arm?"
Not sure what she meant, he looked and noticed what she was talking about, "Oh. This is just a tattoo. Nothing much…"
"A tattoo… Since when did you have a tattoo?"
"At least several months ago…" Lelouch explained, "It's all over my arm, and on my right arm too. I left some untouched skin here and there."
"Well, I think it looks cute."
"What I'm wondering is, how are you just finding out about it? I mean, we've had sex sometimes."
"I think I was too busy looking at your lovely face to even notice."
"Wow. Anyways, I've had tattoos for a while. End of story. Anything else?"
"Can I stay with you for a while?" Cornelia asked.
"Yeah, okay. Come here."
Cornelia eagerly crawled over to Lelouch's side, snuggling in his arms. She then noticed a book lying on his chest, so she picked it up and asked:
"What's this?"
"Oh that's just a book. Nothing else..."
"What's it called?"
"The Strange Art of Deception; It's a really good book, whenever I can, I pick it up and read it. In fact, I've completed it eight times."
"Why keep reading it, if you completed it?"
"It's a classic to me. I can never stop reading it somehow."
"Will you read it to me?" Cornelia curiously asked.
"Anything for you, Nellie…"
Meanwhile, somewhere inside, Earl/professor Lloyd Asplund and his kindhearted, but dark inside, assistant Cecile Croomy were apparently informed by someone to come over to where Lelouch and Cornelia was, however they never heard anything about them being there. But whatever, they wandered around for a while until they saw a strange van inside. So they go to investigate...
"Hmm...What do you think is inside?" Cecile curiously asked, and she was curious.
"No idea. In fact, I hear something going on inside." Lloyd responded, claiming he hears noises. So him and Cecile go and listen:
'Hehehe, this is fun.'
'I know, what do you think will happen if they saw us?'
'They'll kill us. Like that.'
'But the first one they'll kill is him.'
'Oh fuck you, Bender.'
"One of them sounds a lot like Lord Guilford." Cecile claimed.
"And one of them sounds like Suzaku."
"Should we see whose inside?"
"Sure. Got the battery ram?" Lloyd asked.
Inside, Bender, Suzaku and Guilford watched them, but this time was out of boredom. But they got a surprise when Lloyd and Cecile busted in the doors, only to see that they were correct. Suzaku and Guilford was surprised to see them there, as for Bender, he knew that they were coming so it was no surprise to him.
"Well well, Bender B. Rodriguez. It's been far too long." Lloyd said, looking at Bender.
Suzaku and Cecile were extremely lost, and Guilford had no idea what was going on. Eventually, Cecile decided to ask, "Um, Lloyd? Do you know him?"
"Oh course we know each other, my blue-haired idiot." Bender answered instead, "Lloyd has been an Irish solder since '05."
"Irish solder?" She wondered. But then Suzaku finally got what he was talking about:
"Oh. You mean he used to attend Notre Dame?" He guessed.
"Guilty."
"Lloyd Asplund, Notre Dame Alum since '09, engineers major."
"...and Bender Rodriguez, Notre Dame Alum since '09, science major."
"So anyways, what are you up too this time?" Lloyd asked him.
"Testing an experiment; nearly two weeks into it."
"What would that be exactly?"
"Spying on the princess and her brother." Guilford answered. This ended up in Bender harshly glaring at him.
"Oh really?" Lloyd interested said, "Spying on Princess Cornelia, are you?"
"Yep, what's your deal?"
"Why are you spying on her? Does she even know?" Cecile inquired.
"Nope; I'm spying on her so I can watch for what the drug I gave her will do."
"A drug…"
"It's called the 'Love-Emulator'. its specificity designed to manipulate Cornelia's mind and make her think that she's Lelouch's wife."
"Excuse me?" Lloyd said, in disbelief, "I see you've been able to recruit two assistants to help you too."
"Obviously, I haven't changed. But these two either keep it secret or they or I will kill them."
"That's fucked up." Cecile sighed.
"Exactly, now, since you guys are here...I'll need you to do something for me."
-Later that night-
Bender was really enjoying himself watching them and his drug's effects, and getting four idiots to assist him. Maybe that's just how he is? Anyways, Lloyd, Cecile and Guilford was instructed, or forced, to sit in a tree and give him a closer look.
For Lelouch, he sat inside their room while Cornelia was sleeping, he had nothing to do but to look at his sister and well, nothing exactly. A few minutes later, the three got tired of this, so Lloyd aimed and threw a pebble at Cornelia's head, waking her up. But not a good way, Out of nowhere, she pulled out a gun and shot at the tree, thinking that where it came from. All three of them managed to avoid every bullet, not sure how but that will be explained later.
Lelouch was just speechless, when he saw her shoot at a tree. But apparently, Cornelia turned to her 'husband', and asked:
"What just happened?"
Still, Lelouch said nothing.
"Well, anyways. Since I'm awake, you wanna make love?"
He still said nothing, but looked at her.
"I'm waiting..."
He stayed silent for a little longer until Lelouch finally answered, "Probably not."
"Aw. Too bad then; too sudden..."
"Uh, yeah. But I'm open to kiss you."
Cornelia said nothing but charge at him and kissed him deeply, ultimately knocking them to the floor. While Bender found this interesting as each others tongues had a battle inside their mouths, Lelouch began to run his hands down Cornelia's back, and one going down to her leg. Cornelia placed her hand onto Lelouch's chest and he went and pressed himself against her. Then while they were close to having sex, Lelouch heard something outside, likely coming from the tree and then saw a strange glare coming from it.
As Cornelia tried to undress him and her, Lelouch broke the kiss and looked at the tree, finding it awfully suspicious.
"What's wrong?" She asked, kinda worried.
"Hold on a second." Lelouch answered, now staring at the tree. He got up and went to pick up something, Cornelia was rather lost, since she had no idea what was going on. But Lelouch turned back with his right hand behind his back, kissed her on the forehead and fired a baseball straight at the tree.
Apparently, the ball manage to strike Lloyd in the face, in which he yelled, "AH, YOU MOTHERFUCKER!" Then, he lost his footing and fell out of the tree, before that he tried to hold onto something, only managing to grab onto Cecile and drag her down with him and landing them awkwardly on the ground.
Guilford started laughing, only for him to fall headfirst to the ground and straight on Cecile.
"What. The fuck…" Lelouch and Cornelia slowly said, looking at the three. After several minutes, of lying in pain, Lloyd noticed that they're watching, so he, Cecile and Guilford improvised:
"Hellloooo. We're ghooosts." Lloyd said, hoping that it would work. But they weren't buying it at all.
"Just what the hell are you doing, Lloyd?" Cornelia asked.
"If you were really a ghost, then how did you earn that mark on your face?" Lelouch inquired.
Lloyd didn't answer. But as for them, they wanted some questions. And Lloyd wasn't gonna answer any, so Cornelia pulled out a gun and pointed to Cecile and Guilford, ordering:
"Alright, both of you; start answering questions now. First of all, what were you three doing up there."
They were in a bad situation, so they decided to come clean...Meanwhile, Bender tried to retrieve the signal back, but there was no luck. He was unsure what was going on, so after a few minutes trying to handle it, he got to the verdict that they were either caught or they broke the cameras.
"Goddamn it. Suzaku, go out there and see what's going on." Bender ordered.
"But won't they discover me?"
"Just go out there."
"Fine then…" Suzaku reluctantly agreed, he walked over and opened the already damaged doors, only to see an angry Lelouch and Cornelia in front of him, with the three next to them. Suzaku was clearly shocked, and Bender wasn't even watching.
"What the fuck is taking you so long?" Bender yelled, turning to Suzaku only to see them right outside, "Ah crap."
"So, you've been spying on us, have you?" Lelouch inquired, "So, how long have you guys been doing this?"
"Nearly two weeks." Both of them answered.
"Oh really?" Cornelia said, in an interested tone, "It wasn't a surprise that you sent my own knight to spy on us."
"If it wasn't, they you'd be an idiot."
Cornelia went silent for a while, until she told him, "Okay, I'm giving you two options, you either leave and take them with you, or stay here and get your asses kicked? Choose."
"Meh. We'll be going. I got all I need for now. Have a good vacation, you two."
So then, Lloyd, Cecile and Guilford were pushed in the van, and Bender ended his surveillance on them. Driving away from there, Cornelia changed her expression and happily hugged Lelouch, which kinda got him lost and made him scared for a moment.
"What the fuck was that about?"
"I don't know, but at least we can be alone at last and for good."
"Oh yeah, that's great."
"It is..."
While Cornelia gave Lelouch a deep kiss, Bender and Suzaku had already drove through the portal, and walked towards the lab. But Suzaku noticed that Bender didn't have the slightest concern about it. This began to concern him...
"Hey, man. You seem calm about this."
"Eh, it's no big deal. I knew all along that we'll be caught." Bender told him.
"So, you actually knew? What a surprise. Wait a minute…You really knew?"
"Absolutely; I anticipated this from the second Lloyd and Cecile came along, actually, I anticipated this since Guilford came along."
"Seriously?"
Meanwhile, Lelouch was face-to-face with Cornelia, looking down at her, he gave her another kiss, and this time more things occurred. Cornelia was blushing while she locked lips with him, and she felt like she was being held by an angel, but it was only Lelouch.
"So this entire time, you've used them and me?" Suzaku said, trying to summary his explanation.
"Not exactly; there were only tools; you are the biggest part of this on my side."
"Do you think they know?"
"Nope; I instructed Cecile to only explain while not actually revealing the truth."
While Lelouch was burrowed into her neck, he began caressing her then sliding off her kimono, but stopped him. Cornelia looked at him like she didn't want him to do it, but closed her eyes, smiled and told him:
"Don't hold back on me."
"Yes, my precious Nellie…"
He proceeded to send kisses from her neck and down to her chest, using his teeth, he pulled down each side of Cornelia's kimono one at a time, placing a hand on her very comfortable breasts, she pulled him to her face and kissed him once more, while he gently handled her breasts, trying not to hurt her...
"Bender, I don't know if what you're doing to Cornelia is either right or wrong. But regardless, that don't justify the fact that you are using others as pawns."
"Listen, Suzaku: My intentions are always intentional. I send somebody and expect them to get caught or stay stealth. This time, I decided to mix things up and for once, give them some privacy."
"Now what; Do I have to keep lying to them until you're satisfied?"
Currently, Cornelia is pressing herself tight against her brother, while he played around with her. Not entirely getting to the sex part yet, Lelouch broke off of her and began sucking her hard nipples, which surprised and almost made her want to moan in sweet unison. He laid her on her back, and sucked them harder causing Cornelia to ball her hands into fists to handle it. He separated his mouth from her sweet flesh, he went began running his tongue up and down her neck, moving his hand down the bottom of her kimono, and touching her wonderful honey pot. (1)
As soon as he placed his fingers inside of her, Cornelia suddenly felt him, so she responded by pushing him off of her and slapping him hard to the floor.
"Suzaku, please be patent. The final stage is very close; it won't be long until my plan fully comes into pieces."
Thinking that he's talking about a massacre, Suzaku protested, "Bender, no! I will not stand by and allow Cornelia to kill innocent people."
For some reason, Bender began to laugh at his comment, "Are you talking about that? The final stage of the Love-Emulator is nothing close to that, Suzaku. When it comes, you'll know. I know exactly what will happen. Nobody will get killed."
"I don't believe you."
Completely shocked, both of them, Lelouch looked at her after what she did, absolutely speechless.
"Oh god, Lelouch; I'm so sorry, I...I don't know what went over me." Cornelia apologized, she leaned towards him trying to hold him, "Lelouch, please come here."
"No. Don't worry, this happens a lot, I shouldn't have done that without asking you if it was okay."
"Don't apologize, I overreacted to it. I promise not to do it again, Lulu. Forgive me?"
"Um, okay." Lelouch accepted her apology, and then she began to cry a bit, "Nellie, it's alright. There's no reason to cry about it, so cheer up please."
Cornelia wiped the tears off her face, and nodded. They leaned back towards each other and shared another passionate kiss.
"Believe me; I won't let this end in tragedy. That's what I want to avoid. So wait, the two weeks are up the day after they get back, so things will be okay. So let thing's stay as is."
Suzaku didn't want to believe him, but for the time being, he had no choice but to take Bender's word. "Fine then; Just assure that nobody will get hurt like last time."
"You, Lelouch or Cornelia have nothing to worry about. Just see what happens. The antidote was made especially for a situation like that."
"I hope you're right."
Meanwhile, a sleeping Cornelia cuddled into her younger brother's arms, after nearly having sex. Lelouch hugged her tightly, hoping that nothing like that happens again, but he of course answered the three thoughts in his mind.
What's the heart's way of love? - The heart chooses the one for you, regardless of who it happens to be.
What the hell am I doing? - He was reconstructing his relationship with Cornelia. For this one time, he was close to his older sister.
Am I really I love with Cornelia? - He was. For the first time in his life, he was with someone that made him comfortable. And she was comfortable in his arms. That was lover's fate. The strange, incestuous art of the Love-Emulator; and it was almost over...
End of Chapter Four
A/N: Note the thing about Notre Dame is a filler, and the bit about Naruto was just a quick fill. Still, long ass chapter.
