Chapter 5: One Crappy Plan Ruins Them All- Part 2

They ran as fast as they could down the path, but didn't find Lelouch, so they strayed from the path to look for him deeper in the woods.

**Minutes Before***

'This isn't so bad,' thought Lelouch as he started walking at a brisk pace down the path. Then, everything went from good, to uncomfortable, to worse. A small animal, possibly a squirrel, ran across the path and rustled the bushes. Lelouch looked around and couldn't find the source for the sound, so he did the only other thing he could think of when he was frightened. He screamed. A loud, piercing shriek that could be heard blocks away. Then he started running. He left the path and ran aimlessly until he got tired, then he sat down afraid, in the fetal position rocking back and forth as he came up with several different possibilities of what could have made that sound and if it was still following him. He came up with the possibility that he was exaggerating, but pushed that thought aside as more horrifying ones took its place. ' What if,' he thought, 'it's a stalker and he's gonna kill me.' The thoughts got weirder as he sat there too scared to move, in his own little world full of slightly disturbing probabilities. He started to mutter Kallen and Suzaku's names.

**Currently**

Kallen and Suzaku had been looking for Lelouch for several minutes and still hadn't found him.

"Wait. Listen, Kallen, do you hear anything?" asked Suzaku.

Kallen stopped and listened attentively."Yeah, it sounds like deep breathing."

"Let's follow it and see if we find Lelouch," suggested Suzaku as he headed off into the direction he thought it was coming from. "Come on Kallen, this way."

They took off at a jog and soon came across just the person they'd been looking for. He was sitting on the ground, fetal position rocking back and forth.

"Lelouch, are you okay?" asked Suzaku worriedly.

Kallen bent down jabbed him in his stomach and got no reaction. He didn't shiver or protest even though he hated it when people jabbed him in his weak spots. He just continued to rock back and forth.

"Lelouch, snap out of it!" shouted Kallen. She was scared by the way he was acting. She slapped him lightly, but he still didn't react.

"He's in a state of shock. Something must have scared him so badly that this happened. This only happened once before. When we were little. We have to snap him out of it," Suzaku glanced at Kallen, "Hitting him won't help," he added when he saw Kallen hauling back for what would have been a slap hard enough to leave a reed mark on Lelouch's face.

"Oh, sorry," said Kallen as she lowered her hand.

"It's fine. When this happened when we were little I had to through him in a river in order to get him to come back to reality. He hadn't been very happy about it though," Suzaku sighed, "I guess we ought to cancel the reservation and take him home," said Suzaku.

"Yeah," agreed Kallen. Suzaku slung Lelouch over his shoulder, and he headed back towards the path with Kallen following closely behind.

They got to the clubhouse in about fifteen minutes. Sayoko answered the door and they were greeted with a cheery hello from Nunnaly and Rolo who were in the living room watching T.V.

"I see Lelouch is drunk again," joked Rolo.

"Don't joke like that Rolo," chided Nunnaly.

"Lelouch was just…. tired," said Suzaku. He hated lying, especially to Nunnaly.

"He kind of passed out from exhaustion, so we brought him home," stated Kallen, "We're gonna take him to his room now, then we'll be on our way. See you guys later." She waved and made her way to the stairs. "Come on Suzaku."

Kallen was now at the top of the stairs looking down at Suzaku, who was almost in the middle of the staircase.

"Hurry up," she said.

"I'm trying to, but Lelouch keeps shifting his weight around. Do you want to carry him?" said Suzaku.

"Fine," said Kallen, descending the stairs to where Suzaku was," Give him to me."

"Never mind Kallen, I got it," he said sounding defeated as he started walking up the stairs again. Kallen smirked.

'Where am I?' thought Lelouch as he opened his eyes slightly. He saw stairs and heard Kallen and Suzaku talking. He shifted his weight a bit. 'This feels uncomfortable,' he thought as he watched the stairs go by.

"We're finally on flat ground," Suzaku announced to himself, relieved to get off the stairs. Lelouch shifted his weight again, but this time he fell off Suzaku's shoulder and landed on the ground flat on his back with a loud resounding thump. That was enough to pull him out of his daze. He sat upright and looked around."How did I get home?" was the first thing to come out of Lelouch's mouth. Then a new thought dawned on him. "What the crap, Suzaku were you carrying me?!!"

"We brought you home, and yeah Suzaku was carrying you. You most certainly didn't fall out of the sky, right Suzaku," said Kallen.

"Er…. Um…yeah, I..guess," he replied, rubbing the back of his head as a light dusting of pink made its way to his cheeks.

"Look, it's late and we're all tired, so I say Suzaku and I go home and get some rest," said Kallen. She had already gotten down the stairs and was know making her way towards the door. she hesitated at the door, waiting for Suzaku to folow suit, but he didn't. "I don't know about you two, but I'm tired. See you tomorrow," she said then she was gone, and they heard the door close.

Suzkau left shortly after Kallen did, saying good night to Rolo and Nunnaly and giving Sayoko a formal bow before leaving.

After Suzaku left, Lelouch put Nunnaly and Rolo to bed, then went to his room to think through the night's events.

"How embarrassing to have Suzaku carry me like that," he muttered to himself.

"Why don't you use your geass on him, or better yet on the girl? I gave you the power for a reason," said C.C. She'd been sitting at Lelouch's desk eating pizza ever since they had brought him home. "Well, I guess fate was on your side tonight because if you hadn't fallen off your friend's back and woken up, then they would have come in here to put you to bed. And in doing that they would have most certainly found me, and you would have had to use your geass on them no matter what you felt about it," she said.

Lelouch just sat on his bed. He had completely tuned C.C out and by the thoughtful look on his face she could tell he was planning something. After all, Halloween was only several days away.

Lelouch had completely forgotten about Milly's scheme, so as a result he didn't call and tell her that they had canceled their reservations. Poor Milly was still staking out the restaurant Lelouch had told her they were going to, and she was feeling sleepy…

When Suzaku arrived at his dorm he found Shirley asleep on the couch, and Rivalz was sitting at the kitchen counter eating a sandwich.

"Hey buddy, how was the date?" he asked, half out of curiosity and as a greeting. Suzaku glared at Rivalz then he approached him. Suzaku wanted answers, and he was tired of people telling him they couldn't tell. He was going to get answers using any legal method he needed to.
