Author's Note : First of all, thank you Shadowwalker93 for your review and your fav ! I was quite nervous my story could fall in an abyss of unknown and loneliness, especially since it's my first fic ! I'm also happy you found the start interesting (I tought of CC when I read the word 'interesting' ^_^ ).
He misfired during the battle of Narita and he misfired doing such promise, But Lelouch Lamperouge always do what he says ! He just have to found out how he could kill Zero without killing himself since he also have to protect shirley and create a better world for nunally and suzaku, without forgetting that he must destroy the emperor. What a busy boy !
I still wonder how many damages there will be ^_^
Let's start chapter two ! And once again, thank you shadowwalker93 ! ^_^
Chapter Two : The green haired Witch
It was now five days since the death of shirley's dad. Lelouch spent it in his room, mostly, and didn't talked at all, except a few words for his worrying sister. He barely ate at lunch, worrying Rivalz and Kallen, but as Milly said « Lelouch will arise stronger, as ever. For Shirley and Nunally ». All of them agreed that Lelouch and Shirley needed time. Yet, Milly knew something was happenning in Lelouch's psyche that wasn't empathy for Shirley's loss. She know Lelouch for years now, and can read his face : For five days, Lelouch have been thinking and planning more than ever.
And in the end of the fifth day, a well known green-haired witch came to Lelouch and poked his right arm.
« You must go out. Enjoy time, take the noblemen's money and pride with Cardemonde. »
A little time after the Witch's speech, Lelouch glared at CC.
« First of all, how do you know rivalz's name ? And then, why do you worry for me ? I just need time to plan the next step carefully »
« And I. need. Pizza. »
Lelouch sighed in relief and looked slightly amused. CC looked more serious and concerned than a general sticked in a battle that he was loosing.
« I understand, now. Once again, you spent all my money in pizzas »
« Not all. But there's not enough left for another pizza. »
Lelouch looked clearly annoyed. Was it physically possible to eat as many pizzas ?!
« Well, you can starve to death, it's not like you can die » he shoved the idea away with a pile of paper on his desk.
Lelouch was definitely abnormal. C.C. Could tell that something had broke during that night.
« I am far more quiet when I have pizzas. » a light pause. « Did you forgot our contract? »
Lelouch sighed. The damn contract. It sure looked pretty attractive when a gun was pointed at his face, but now it just seem like a curse. Not that he hadn't been warned. He took the top of his nose with his slender fingers, looking more annoyed, if it was only possible.
« of course no. But I am thinking the actual path might not be the good one »
« You took this path. It's like a railroad, you can't change the direction now »
Lelouch smirked. He seemed ready to scream 'EUREKA' but as lelouch, he was calm. And smirking. A deceitful, mocking smirk spitting on CC. She was a bit annoyed now. And her curiosity was melting her serenity away.
« As you said, CC, I took a train, which is the path to my future. Who I am, CC ? »
« You are asking me a stupid question. And you are visibly taunting me »
« I am a terrorist, CC, and what does terrorist do with trains ? »
CC was not in a playful mood. After all, she entered the room just to get some money for pizzas.
« It's easy, CC » Lelouch stood up before collapsing on his bed, still smirking while lazily leaning on his back, his hands behind his head. « We do derail them »
This smirk was contagious eventually.
«So this will become interesting » muttlered C.C. before leaning on lelouch's chest and trying to kiss him, running her hand on his sides. Lelouch just bolted off the bed, loosing all composure.
« What was that ? »
CC looked neutral as ever. « A kiss. You never had one ? »
« No, but … » lelouch was just boiling. And flushing. And trembling. « We are just bond by a contract ! Go out, now, witch »
CC compliantly leaved the room, closing the door behind her. Then she took Lelouch's wallet out of her pocket, and took the 30 pounds it contained. Enough for two pizzas. She tossed away the wallet, leaving it in the corridor. Lelouch would find it, eventually. Maybe.
Author's note :
It was quite a frustrating chapter, I was going for a weeping, crying, devastated lelouch to be find by CC, or even milly discovering him and Zero's outfit, but I was unable to imagine the effects it would have. So I just let Lulu manage it as coldly as ever, just for CC to give him an ultimate clue.
The failed kiss was merely something I would have dreamt to see in the serie, to show CC's trickery when it comes about pizzas. ^_^
Also, I must be honest to you : English is not my native langage, and even if I managed a good score at TOEIC, I still makes errors, so don't hesitate to tell me about them, i would gladly correct them !
