It was the end of class and I was ready to tell Jun. I just needed to get him alone during lunch. If I was Lelouch, I might've planned this better. But since I'm not, I was just gonna ask to talk to him alone. Of course I forgot one thing.

"Hey Alex! You didn't tell us your friend was so hot!", Vince said suddenly.

Ivana hit him. "Don't be a pervert! Seriously, don't you have some Student Council chores?"

"As a representative of the Student Council, I must welcome new students!"

"Cassandra, just how long are you gonna be here?", I asked.

"My parents have some business to do here. I'll be here until then."

She looked over at Jun, who was by my side. Then she started smirking.

"That's a cute girlfriend you've got Alex", she teased.

Jun started blushing, like really blushing. "For the last time! I'm a boy!"

"What do you mean, 'for the last time'?",I asked.

"Have you two met before?", Lea asked.

"Uh, I didn't know you were Alex's friend", Jun said to Cassandra.

"He and I had an interesting encounter before. It was after your kendo practice, wasn't it?", Cassandra said with a smirk.

"Don't just call it an encounter! You walked right into the boy's locker room!", Jun yelled.

I'd feel more sympathetic, but Cassandra walked in on me while I was in the shower once. It didn't even matter that I locked the door. This girl had a one track mind. I didn't have time for this. I needed to talk to Jun.

"Hey Jun-" Ringringringring.

"Alex, your cell phone", Cassandra said, already grabbing out of my pocket. "Who's Lulu?"

"L-Lulu?"

"Got a new girlfriend Alex?", Vince teased.

I took my cell phone back and answered it. "Hello?"

"Don't tell anyone anything."

"Huh?"

And then he just hung up. That guy, he just kept getting weirder and weirder.

"What was that about?", Jun asked.

"Nothing. I need to go to the library. I've still got some research to do."

I did go to the library, but I had no intention of seeing Lelouch. I was actually studying. I decided I should know more about this guy who was trying to run my life. It turns out there was a biography of Zero here.

They were in volumes, for each one. But I only needed to know about one, the first Zero. Thankfully, this was straightforward. I only had a few minutes left for lunch.

"Let's see. As Zero he, began the Black Rebellion, proclaimed the United States of Japan, huh? What's this?"

I turned the page and things started going bad. He and the Black Knights destroyed some lab dedicated to Geass research. There were children there! And then the Black Knights betrayed him. That's when Zero's identity was revealed.

"He was the Demon Emperor. How am I so sure that he's really fighting for good?"

I knew it wasn't fair to judge him like that. But I hardly knew him! He probably killed innocent people!

"Wait, Rolo calls him big brother. He should know. I need to ask Casper."

"Ask me what?"

"GAH! Casper, seriously! I'm never gonna get used to that."

"What do you need to ask me?"

"I need you to ask Rolo something for me."

"What is it?"

"What kind of brother was Lelouch?"

Casper was quiet for a moment, like he was listening.

"Rolo said that Lelouch was a great big brother. But technically, they weren't related. Even so, Lelouch still cared for him", Casper said.

"Is that so? So did he know about Zero?"

"He said 'It's frustrating to talk like this. There's an easier way. But it must be done after school'."

"Okay then, after school. By the way, what're you doing here? Don't you have class now?"

"No, my lunch started a few minutes ago."

I checked a clock. "Man! I'm late for gym!"

I ran to the gymnasium, and snuck into the locker room to change. I tried to sneak back out again but my teacher yelled my name. Sometimes I swore that woman was half banshee. It always seemed like she was on my case.

It's not like I'm bad at sports, I just don't like them. To make things worse, teacher's pet Ivana was in the same class. I was convinced that she was alive just to make me look bad.

"Alex! Pick up the pace!", my teacher yelled.

She made me run laps around the gym for being late. After that I sat on the bleachers with the other guys while Ivana led the girls in a game of volleyball. I thought about how Rolo was going to talk to me.

He was a ghost, and I couldn't hear ghosts. Maybe he'll talk to me through a radio? Thinking about this got me excited and soon I found myself back at my dorm room. Casper was lying on his bed, looking deep in thought.

"So, how's this gonna work?", I asked.

"Rolo said that, he's going to possess me", Casper said.

"Possess?"

"He said all ghosts have the ability, but not all do it. He's done it before though."

"Okay, but you seem really calm about this."

"I trust Rolo. He'd never do anything that would hurt me."

"Alright then."

"I'm ready, Rolo", Casper said.

Slowly, Casper started glowing. His whole body was covered in light. Then it drained out of his body until only his eyes had a faint glow.

"It's nice to finally meet you, Alex."

The voice coming from Casper's body wasn't his own. It seemed to have a different level of softness. I couldn't tell if it was more soft or less.

"So, you're Rolo?", I asked.

"Yes. Now I can tell you everything, so you can help brother."

"Okay, what is it?"

"I always knew brother was Zero. In fact, it was because of it, that I met him."

"Huh?"

"The truth is, I was raised as an assassin. And if the situation brought itself, I was supposed to kill him."

"K-kill him?"

"Yes. After Zero's rebellion failed, Lelouch was captured, and had his memories changed. He forgot he was Zero, and believed I was his brother."

"But, you didn't kill him."

"Yeah. He convinced me to join him. Lelouch was the only real family I had."

"Zero said that he fought for justice, right? Isn't it possible that someone innocent died?"

"You're asking some pretty difficult questions", Rolo said with a laugh. "Well, you know the history of the Massacre Princess, right?"

"Yeah. Lelouch, as Zero, geassed Princess Euphemia into ordering a massacre of the Japanese. She was hated until it was revealed what really happened."

"When Brother became emperor, he made it so that geass was 'leaked' to the public. He wanted Euphemia to be forgiven for something that wasn't her fault."

"Forgiven? But didn't he kill her?", I asked.

"He always regretted that."

"What about that attack on that lab? The one that researched geass?"

"Lelouch did order that as Zero. But that's because of a mistake I made. I killed a friend of his."

"Wait a second, you killed his friend, and he attacks at random?"

"That's not it. Brother didn't blame me. He blamed geass in general. He used his to make her life easier, but it was cancelled and she remembered everything, including him being Zero."

"So what?"

"Back then, I did whatever it took to protect him. So much that I was blinded by everything else. I killed her, because I thought she would endanger brother."

"All because of geass."

"Did I answer all of your questions?", Rolo asked.

"Yeah, thanks."

"Just remember Alex."

"What?", I was actually kind of curious to what he would say.

"Lelouch is still my brother", he said in a slightly menacing voice. "If I think you're hurting him, I'll make it so only Casper can hear you."

When I realized what he meant, I seriously felt threatened. A death threat from a ghost is the worst kind. Especially when they're currently possessing your roommate.

"You're very important to my brother, so be careful", he said smiling.

The glow covered Casper again, and then left him completely. He opened his eyes and I knew it was the normal Casper. He smiled at me.

"Did you get all your answers?", he asked.

"Yeah, and possibly a hit on my life."

"Huh?"

"It's nothing. But I need to talk to Lelouch tomorrow. And I still want to talk to Jun. I should probably talk to Cassandra too, she is a visiting friend."

"Hehe, you have a full life, don't you Alex?"

"I think that's the understatement of my entire life."

Up next: Alex and Lelouch disagree, and for once, pizza doesn't cheer up C.C.

"Where is Alex, I wonder?"

Cassandra Kilduf had arrived in Japan a few hours ago. She immediately put on the school uniform and set out to find her friend/slave. She hadn't seen him for a while and had been bored lately. Walking through the school, she heard voices coming from somewhere.

She opened the door slightly and saw some boys, practicing kendo.

"Hmm, didn't Alex always talk about some friend who was in kendo? What was their name? Jen?"

Practice was over and Cassandra waited by the door for someone to call out the boy's name. She was almost sure it wasn't really Jen. She followed a group of boys to a room, but stopped as it said 'BOYS LOCKER ROOM'.

After sometime, a bunch of them came out. She was aware of the strange looks she got. She was a random girl standing outside a male locker room. But Cassandra had a one track mind. She was pretty sure she could tell who she was looking for by his face.

Cassandra counted the number of boys in her head. By now there was only one left in the locker room. And she knew for a fact none of them were Jen.

"Jen? Or is it Jane? Hmm, I'm tired of waiting."

Without another thought, she just went inside the locker room. It was empty. But she heard some rustling. She figured it was just somebody getting dressed. Cassandra turned the corner and saw someone pulling on a shirt.

"So you're Jen?", she said.

The boy turned around in surprise. He immediately started buttoning up their shirt.

"What are you doing here?!", he yelled.

"Oh? Have we met before?", she said with a smirk.

"You're in the boy's locker room!"

"I'm not going to acknowledge that until you introduce yourself."

"J-Jun Tsurugi."

"Cassandra, and here, my last name is Kilduf."

"Here?", Jun's eyebrows raised when he realized what she was saying.

"I think I'm gonna have fun here."

"Don't forget where you are", Jun said.

"I didn't know how girly you were."

"H-huh?"

Cassandra looked him up and down. "What a slender body you have. And such a feminine face."

"I'm a boy!", Jun yelled, face flushed.

The way they were talking, you'd think they met somewhere before. But. . . how is that possible?
