A/N: Oh. My. God. It's about freaking time. It took me soooo long to update this story, it's ridiculous. Um, I don't really have anything to say about this chapter. It just…exists? I'm not really sure.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Kaname was seething on the inside. They were having a party? Without him? Blasphemy! Absurd! Sacrilege! What was the world coming to? Granted, it wasn't technically a party. It was more like an informal get-together. But still. Kaname Kuran wasn't invited? Unheard of. Until now, that is.
Kaname stormed through the doors of the Moon Dormitory. "What the hell is going in here?" he demanded.
Eight heads snapped up to look at him simultaneously. "What are you doing here?" Lelouch sneered.
"Why wasn't I invited to this?"
"Because no one likes you." I think we all know who said this.
Kaname towered over the young Britannian prince. "Who do you think you're talking to?"
Lelouch stood up, glaring at his rival. "You, Kuran!"
Kallen stood up slowly, "Maybe we should leave, Zero. Before things get ugly."
Zero nodded, "Yeah. Let's go find Light. We need to make a game plan."
Light paced across the room, Kallen and Zero looking up at him anxiously. Finally, he stopped.
"Okay, I've thought this through and I think it would be in our best interests to kill Prince Clovis La Britannia."
"Whoah, Light, you don't waste any time, do ya?" Kallen exclaimed. "Alright," she tossed him the notebook, "Write his name down."
Zero flicked on the television as Light scribbled down the name. Kallen raised an eyebrow at him questioningly. "They'll probably report on his death quickly, so we'll have nearly immediate results. That way we'll know if this thing even works."
Forty minutes later
Light was sitting anxiously in front of the television, Kallen was flipping through a magazine (US Weekly), and Zero was sleeping peacefully.
And then, the newscaster appeared.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we've just received news that His Highness Prince Clovis is dead! The royal coroner says that he appears to have died of a heart attack. Whether this heart attack was a natural occurrence or induced, we're not sure. Doctors are puzzled as to how a perfectly healthy young man could have died of a heart attack. In the Britannian mainland…"
Light stood up suddenly, hair falling over his face in a dramatic manner, shrouding it in shadow. And then, he burst into maniacal laughter.
"Perfect! It's perfect! I'll make Britannia pay for their tyranny, and soon everyone will know of my existence! I will reign like a god of this new and perfect world! Mwahahahahaha!"
"Ahem!" Zero said rather threateningly.
"With my two angels of death ruling at my side!" Light added with an innocent smile on his face as he slung his arms around the shoulders of his friends.
Meanwhile in the lobby of the Moon Dorm
"Whether this heart attack was a natural occurrence or induced, we're not sure. Doctors are puzzled as to how a perfectly healthy young man could have died of a heart attack. In the Britannian mainland…"
Lelouch gapped at the TV, not believing what he was hearing. Clovis was dead? Sure, he was kind of an asshole, and he was always trying to get Lelouch to wear dresses, but still! His brother (half brother) was dead?
"Political unrest is sweeping through the mainland already, as both Britannians and Elevens alike wait to hear who will be the next viceroy of Area Eleven."
Meanwhile in Britannia
"Your tea, L-sama," Yuki said as she sat the tray on the table in front of the detective.
"Ah, thank you, Yuki-san," the strange man replied, taking a sip of his beverage.
"Yuki-san, we wouldn't happen to have any more of that delicious cheesecake from France, would we?"
The brown-haired girl shook her head. "No, but I'll ask C.C. to send you some the next time she's in France." It was at that moment that a girl with long green hair came bursting into the room.
Yuki smirked. "Speak of the witch."
L's face brightened considerably. "C.C., did they have the cake I wanted?"
"Sorry, L. I never even made it out the door," she handed him a thick file folder. "We have orders from Prince Schneizel to investigate Prince Clovis's death. He wants to make sure his death was a natural heart attack and not…something else."
L looked up from the file, one eyebrow raised. "He suspects a Geass user?"
"He thinks it's a possibility that should be considered. Perhaps someone with a power similar to Rolo's?"
Yuki threw C.C. a haughty look, "I wouldn't be surprised if it was one of your little projects. You are always making contracts with anyone who's willing."
C.C. ignored the younger girl's pointed remark. "It could be one of L's. There was that one boy you made a contract with," she grabbed the man's teacup and helped herself, "What was his power again? He could force his will on other people, I think?"
L nodded, "Yes, but it requires direct eye contact and it only works on the same person once."
"But how could he force someone to have a heart attack?" Yuki wrinkled her forehead in confusion. "It doesn't make any sense."
L smiled a creepy smile at her. "Stranger things have happened, Yuki-san."
A/N: Well, there you have it! After a long wait, chapter 3! We've had the grand arrival of Yuki, C.C., and L! O.O Next chapter, I'll be introducing four more characters! Hopefully, it won't take me as long to update. I know the chapter was rather…short but it was good, right?
Now, L, if you would.
L: Of course. Stephie-san would be greatly pleased if you all reviewed. There is an 89% chance that she will cry if you do not.
Stef: He's right! *cuddles up next to L* I need reviews!
L: Crying percentages up 3.6%.
