Disclaimer: Me, Own Code Geass? So incorrect it's not funny. Also, this chapter contains background info on Marianne and by extension Lelouch and Nunnally that will probably NEVER be explained outside of Japan-only novels that are pretty much completely canon unless explicitly stated otherwise.
Somewhere in the Chinese Federation, Knightmare Hangar, September 4th, 2018 a.t.b., 18:00 hours local time.
Kallen wiped a bit of sweat off her forehead as she exited the Guren Flight-Enabled Version's cockpit and said, "Well, that was exciting wasn't it?"
"You're correct about that, Kallen. I haven't had a decent challenge since I last fought rebel forces in Area Three before I was sent back to Japan. The Italians didn't count since they kicked my ass thoroughly." Suzaku said as he got out of the Lancelot Conquista. Lloyd and Rakshata ended their rivalry almost three months ago and they were able to upgrade the Lancelot from its base form by working together. The Guren MK-II was also upgraded thanks to this cooperation.
"So I take it that it was a draw this time?" Yukiya Naruse asked.
Kallen smiled as she and Yukiya walked to the locker rooms and said, "Well, at least my opponent and I didn't wreck each others frames this time."
"Rakshata and Lloyd are sure going to be pleased about that. By the way, Leila slapped Ryo Sayama a few minutes ago when she caught him trying to sneak into your room and steal your underwear. I kicked his ass after she was done with him because panty theft is not something that I condone, even though I will admit to killing people."
"That's. . . kinda mundane compared to the shit that most Britannian soldiers engage in. I mean, the number of cases that pertain to the rape of female Britannian military officers skyrocketed after the SAZ massacre. That, and many members of the Imperial Family have been increasing their security details and introducing new measures because of how successful Operation Fallen Noble was. By the way, I heard that the Tianzi is going to host a small party a week from now. I received two invitations and I think that you deserve one, Yukiya-san."
"Well, I can't really say no to this so I'll come along to this party. Ayano declined her invitation and gave it to someone else, citing an incident from not only before she, Ryo and I became part of the E.U.'s W-0 unit, but it occurred before we even entered the E.U. It involved a High Eunich, a guard, two mutterings of a word that no man would ever say near a lady unless he had a death wish, and Ayano losing her clothes after we left. Needless to say, it was a disaster that spiraled out of control and she doesn't want a repeat of that incident." Yukiya said as Kallen gave him the invitation.
"Wait a minute, you said that Ayano lost her clothes after leaving. What specifically happened?"
"During the incident, Ayano got sprayed with no less than three bowls of punch and her cheongsam got completely soaked. After we escaped, she had to take it off otherwise she would have died of hypothermia. The problem was that she was naked under the cheongsam so myself and the others hightailed it away when she started stripping off her cheongsam and twenty minutes later when we got back to our campsite, Ayano was back in her regular clothes and said, 'Never again. I don't want to go to another party again in my life!' That situation is why Ayano doesn't like parties."
"Whoa! Talk about emotional baggage!"
"I know. I also heard that Lelouch and Nunnally got invitations as well. Knowing him, he wants to stay close to her in case any Britannian spies try to capture his sister. I know for a fact that Akito and Leila got invitations and Kaguya got one as well. Let's see here." Yukiya said as he looked over the invitation and noticed something fall out of it as he stopped outside the women's locker room. Picking it up, he noticed that it was a note that had writing on it.
'The party is a formal occasion. Cheongsams or ankle-length dresses are recommended for women as per Regulation 225, set by Emperor Xang Wanmu.'
"This seems a bit sexist, doesn't it Kallen?" Yukiya asked when Kallen came out of the locker room dressed in a black buttoned blouse that had silver lines on it worn under a black jacket and a black miniskirt. Yukiya knew that Kallen preferred shorts or miniskirts instead of long dresses and pants for whatever reason he could think of.
"Yeah, that is rather sexist. A cheongsam would only be able to reach the top part of my knees and I really don't like wearing long dresses. I think that this 'Xang Wanmu' fellow was probably a very traditional person." Kallen replied as she and Yukiya began to walk on their way to an unused room. She was also thinking of a few naughty ideas about what to do with Yukiya.
"Yep. I did a bit of research on him and it turns out that Emperor Xang Wanmu ruled China for thirty years before the High Eunichs came into existence in the middle of his reign. It was his advisors who styled themselves as the first High Eunichs and they proved themselves as such by removing their reproductive organs. They were assassinated nine years later and more manipulative people replaced them. Xang however proved to be impossible to manipulate, and his successor was also immune to manipulation. The Emperors and Empresses, up until Miss Lihua inherited the Chinese throne, were all strong-willed."
"The Eunichs must have tried something against all of Miss Lihua's predeccesors."
"Her father was. . . unfortunately, I have no idea how her father passed away since most of the data about him was outright destroyed. Her grandfather however was assassinated by someone hired by the Eunichs. The Eunichs were getting desperate when they hired that assassin." Yukiya said before reaching the unused room inside the base and sitting in a chair. Kallen proceeded to one of the tables and moved a chair aside while Yukiya was wondering what she was doing. It then became clear when Yukiya saw Kallen bend over on the table and use one hand to lift the hem of her miniskirt up over her rear and once it was lifted high enough Kallen let it fall and bunch up around her waist, being aware that she was exposing her crimson panties to Yukiya.
Kallen shot him an amorous side glance and giggled a bit before saying, "Like what you see, Yukiya-san?" She wiggled her buttocks as she said his name, which made him blush heavily.
"Kallen. . . I know that you have a very beautiful behind, yet are you sure that this is what you want? I don't really want to put THAT in right now since it would mean pulling off your panties, which are very cute." Yukiya replied.
"I just wanted to show you these panties, Yukiya-san. As far as I know, males often like it whenever they see a girl's panties." Kallen said flirtatiously while shaking her buttocks a little bit before she got up and began to slowly walk backward to the chair that Yukiya was sitting in so that the hem of her miniskirt would not cover her panties. Once she was in front of him, Kallen immediately sat on his lap and began to grind her hips together.
"Kallen, your brother's going to give an earful should he find out about this." Yukiya stated while a light pink blush formed on his face.
"He won't find out if we do stuff here. That's why I chose this area to tease you, Yukiya-san." Kallen replied while her hips continued to grind on his lap even as she turned to face him.
'Great, Kallen is actively trying to make me fall for her! Naoto is sure to kill me if I ever break or even so much as play with her heart! To be honest, he's the second really overprotective big brother I've met and our leader has the number one position of that already!' Yukiya thought as Kallen continued to grind her hips. As she got off, she teasingly said, "Maybe I should sit on your face next time so that my sexy ass and my panties are burned into your mind, Yukiya-san."
-Two hours later, Zero's Quarters-
"The Britannians must be bigger fools than I initially suspected. They've found absolutely nothing about our whereabouts and are being engaged by the Chinese no matter where they go." Lelouch said to himself while he was dressed in his Zero outfit as he looked over a report from Xingke.
"Onii-sama, Kaguya-chan just told me that she needs to see both of us." Nunnally said to him as she came in while wearing a pink ankle-length dress that had a modest neckline.
"Well then, I guess we should head over to her." Lelouch said as he got up and followed his sister to Kaguya's room. Inside, she was wearing her usual outfit which consisted of a pink blouse and a red miniskirt.
"Ah, Nunnally-chan and Lelouch-san are here. Let me show you something here." Kaguya said as her hands danced over the keyboard and pulled up a family tree that extended from Marianne vi Britannia up to her parents Edward Lamperouge and Arabelle Lamperouge nee Edison, grandparents, great grandparents, and great great grandparents.
"Wh- What in the heck?" Lelouch said, clearly surprised at the information that the family tree displayed.
"H- How can. . . why did we never find this out?" Nunnally said, also surprised.
"I never had to do so much research before on the background of my potential husband before, so this surprised me as well when I first found out earlier. Apparently the vi Britannias and the Lamperouge Family by extension had Japanese blood flowing through them as far back as your mother's great great grandparents. Unfortunately, information farther back than that is something that we don't have any records on. Anyways, it seems that Marianne's great grandmother on her mother's side, Shizuna Lamperouge nee Tokugawa, married a Britannian by the name of William Lamperouge when she emigrated to Britannia."
"Potential husband. . . that must mean that. . ."
"Yes, Nunnally-chan: Taizo Kirihara wants me to wed either your brother Lelouch or someone else that I really don't like. The other guy is about twice my age as well. I know that I do have a third option in Orpheus Zevon, but he is both presently not here and captured by Britannia."
"It seems a rescue operation will be needed. Considering the risks of this mission, I want to have only Yoshitaka and Minami on this mission and that they need to use the Akatsuki-Delta models on this mission."
A/N: I have a blind poll on my profile page that asks for if I should increase the romance between Lelouch and Nunnally. It will close in about six months from today, give or take a couple of days.
