The Curse of Living
Disclaimer: I do not own Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R1 or R2, which Sunrise on the other hand, does.

Eyes widening just before impact, Lelouch never had a chance at getting away from the angry missile that flew from the wheelchair.
"Oof!"
"Lelouch, you insensitive bastard!" screamed Nunnally as she flew into the air and tackled her brother.
Behind the two, Rai stared, pale and speechless as the two rolled around on the floor, as a pile of flailing limbs. He noticed Zero stand up and felt a surge of hope. Perhaps the famed Zero will defeat this menace to society and-
-found the familiar face of an aged (man who was supposed to be dead) Suzaku Kiraguuri taking off the mask. Now positively foaming at the mouth, he saw Kallen join the pile of limbs to hug the living daylights out of the former Emperor.
"WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!"

"You haven't changed at all, brother! You look so young," gushed Nunnally as she fawned over her brother, "And your taste in clothing hasn't changed either..."
After the commotion over the formerly belived dead Emperor of Britannia had died down and everyone was properly seated, refreshments served, Rai was treated to a scene consisting of his wife, the Minister of Britannia, and the undead Suzaku and Lelouch talking amicably, though slightly stiffly, with each other. He pressed a cold glass of brandy to his forehead. The last hour had been bedlam as they all told him how they were connected to this man.
How the infamous Lelouch was in truth Zero.
How Suzaku was the one who did kill him.
That his wife had a minor sexual relationship with that...that...thing.
The same thing that was squashed between his wife, prime minister Nunally, and that strange woman who introduced herself merely as C.C. If that didn't pertain to her breast size, then he didn't know what it stood for. Rai watched from afar as his wife gave Emperor Lelouch a noogie on the head and smiled at the spetacle. The Emperor didn't look like any great murderer or anything. More like a simple teenager catching up with old friends. The textbooks never really gave much information on the poor sod now that he thought of it. Most of them just repeated the same blather over and over. The Lelouch he was seeing was like a blast from the past, an entity that simply didn't age from all those eyars after the War. An entity that just walked out of the history book and was being run over on by his sister and friends.
As he watched Nunnally pinch both of the former Emperor's cheeks and remark on how delectable he looked, the poor boy went bright red and told her never to say such disturbing things ever again.
"No, really Lelouch! You look so much like yourself its like someone pulled you out of a history book!" Squealed Nunannly as she shifted her poor brother's cheeks this way and that.
'Right out of my mind,' thought Rai, 'Woman always seems to be reading people's minds, intentionally or no.'
"Shes right, you know," piped up Kallen, more excitable than anytime he had ever seen her, "You realize your fanclub hasn't gone down at all right?"
Ah, yes. That fanclub. Even though Emperor Lelouch was declared dead, many young women (mature ones included) still swooned, if secretly, over the young Emperor; mainly for his good looks. The fanclub was banned, though never really enforced.
Lelouch merely blushed and tried to push his 'fans' off of him.
No such luck.
