A/N: Alright, I'm sure you were expecting part two of Trapped, but it was getting to be a bit... Er... OOC. Or something like that. So anyways... This is an excerpt. Kind of. I got inspiration for this story, but then I had all of these ideas, so I wrote one of them down and created a little scene. That's why it goes ... at the end. Cause it's an excerpt. If you like it, I could expand on this and make it it's own thing. But if not, it's just for entertainment purposes (... If you like my writing, that is), so yeah. Here it is!

"My Lord-" surprised, C2 was about to speak to her employer, when he said, "Hush."
She fell silent and then whispered, "Miss Genevieve-"
"Genevieve has gone to visit her friend. She said that she didn't want to trouble you with traveling so far, so she went alone." he kept his eyes on the door.
"I see….. My Lord?"
"What is it?"
"Why exactly are we enclosed in your study with the lights off?"
"Someone got in." the raven-haired man replied grimly.
"Someone…" shock and fear was all she felt.
"It's a relief that Genevieve isn't here and I found you in time."
"… Why-"
"I don't know. But I do know that they're men who are willing to murder for their greed."
The emerald-haired woman began to shake and he noticed.
"What's wrong?"
"N-nothing, my Lord. I'm just grateful that you would be willing to protect me." she lied.
"Of course I would be. It's going to be alright." he brushed her hair away gently before turning back to the door.
"On the count of three, you are to go to my desk and underneath, there will be an indentation. Press it, and a passageway will appear. Suzaku will be waiting at the end to escort you-"
"My Lord, are you not-"
"These fools have dirtied the halls of my estate. They'll not be let off easily." he pulled out his gun and cocked it.
"My Lord, I would like to propose-"
"You don't have to concerned over me, C2. Rather, I'm more worried about you. Don't get caught."
"Master-"
"Sh." he silenced her; they could see shadows of feet stopping in front of their door. Without making a sound, he took her hand and backed away slowly. Half-embracing her, he murmured into her ear, "You'll be safe, C2. Suzaku is an exceptional fighter."
"But then who will protect you?"
"I'm well-known for my knack with the firearm."
"Master Lelouch, please come with-"
"There's no need to worry, C2. Now go."
"But-"
"…. Then if it will ease your mind… I propose a contract to you."
"A contract?"
"If you and I survive this ordeal, then I will allow Genevieve to go to the ball, consequentially allowing you to also partake."
"And if we don't?"
"Well… Isn't that punishment enough?"
"Master Lelouch, please, just-"
He bent down and softly kissed her.
"As a seal, for our contract. Now go." he nudged her away into the direction of the secret passageway. His hand slid from her shoulder down her arm to her hand, which he gave a reassuring squeeze before their fingers slipped away from each other…
A/N: Yes? No? Just keep it like this? What do you think?
