Author's Note: Yay i got this chapter out on time!! ^-^ Since practically everyone that reviewed for the past chapter voted for Euphy to win the bid on Suzaku That is the direction the story will go in. no objections? no? good. anyways i've been thinking about how i'm going to end this story. it could end 1 of 3 ways. (it could even have a sequel if you want or if i feel up to it. (which is probably unlikely since i've got so many more ideas)1. Suzaku wins Kallen over. 2. Lelouch wins Kallen (which can still happen cuz i control the story) or 3. Gino could enrolls and have Kallen fall head over heels for him and he wins her over while lelouch and suzaku get to sulk in a corner. LOL. pick one. thanks to my reviewers which were: (MoonlitxAngel, Tokyo, Erinfrats101, Gul' Gul, and thepinkmartini.) ^-^
NoW wIThOuT FuRtHER dELaY PLeAsE EnJoY THE CHAPTER!!!!!

Chapter 14: Dates Prep and Interrogation

After waking up 20 minutes after passing out Suzaku looked around. He was in the nurse's office lying on one of the white beds with Euphy sitting on a stool a little too close for comfort with a distressed look on her face as she dabbed at his head with a damp, cold towel.

"Oh. Suzaku you're finally awake," she said when she noticed his eyes were opened, "You scared me! I thought that you were sick or something! Are you feeling okay? You just fainted as soon as Milly announced me the winning bidder." Worry was etched into a small frown she gave him while she waited for a reply.

"Eh... so you did win?" asked Suzaku thoughtfully as he contemplated whether or not to jump out the window and break his leg just to get himself out of his date with the innocent looking pink haired stalker. He dismissed the thought and turned his attention back to Euphy.

"Who won the bid on Lelouch?" he asked curiously.

"Kallen. She may not have had as much money as I did, but she had more money than the other girls in the crowd apparently. Shirley seemed heartbroken and won't talk about it with anyone," Euphy replied.

"Oh," Suzaku mumble quietly to himself.

"But anyways, I was thinking about where we're going for our date. Milly had this auction just in time for Valentines day!!" Euphy exclaimed.

"Huh, really? So where do you wanna go?" asked Suzaku as his mind wondered off to how Lelouch and Kallen's date would go.

"Suzaku? Suzaku.... Suzaku!!" shouted Euphy pulling him out of his thoughts.

"What?"

"I said, how about we go to the mall and then to the Karaoke Bar for dinner? It's fun, I've been there before with my friends from my old school. So how about it?" she asked eagerly.

"Sure wherever you want," Suzaku replied as he hefted himself off the bed and stood up. "Well then, I guess we'd better go get ready. Where do I pick you up?" he asked.

Euphy pulled out a piece of paper and scribbled down her address. "Here. you can pick me up here," she said handing him the scrap of paper.

"Alright I'll pick you up around 6:45." Suzaku took the paper and flashed her a nervous grin before leaving the room. 'Ugh, one whole night with Euphy. I don't think I'll survive.' he thought as he made his way to the boys' dorms.

**Meanwhile**

Lelouch sat across the table from Kallen at a small cafe as she wrote a list of things she wanted to do and places she wanted to go.

"What do you want to do for our date?" Lelouch had asked.

"I don't know there's so many things I'd like to do," Kallen had replied.

"Well then just write a list and we'll try to get through most of your activities." Hence the reason why she's was currently making a list.

"Kallen?" Lelouch asked as he tried to peek over the table at what she'd written silently hoping she'd pick a place where they'd be alone. "Are you done yet?"

"Not yet yet Lelouch! Jeez get some patience. I'm only on number 34," Kallen replied as she continued scribbling.

"That's unbelievable! How many things could you want to do?!"

"A lot, now wait a second. I'm almost done."

Five minutes later Kallen slid the list across the table and Lelouch read it.

"Kallen you do realize that there are 94 activities on this list right?" Lelouch asked.

"Yeah," Kallen replied with a nod.

"And you also realize that we only have one tonight to do all this stuff, right?"

"Yeah, so?"

"So how are we supposed to do all of this in one night?!"

"I don't know, figure something out," Kallen said throwing her hands up, "If you can beat nobles at chess then you can organize an agenda." She watched Lelouch as he read down the list. He brushed a tress of ebony hair out of his eyes and Kallen was reminded of why she liked him. 'His eyes are so gorgeous.' she thought before mentally slapping herself. The only problem with her affection for Suzaku and Lelouch was that it was staring to outweigh her affection for Zero, and that was a problem she would have to fix eventually. But right now she was just going to enjoy being a normal teenage girl before the rebellion hit its prime.

"Kallen how about you narrow it down. Put a star next to each one you want to do the most," Lelouch said, handing the list back to Kallen.

She returned it to him 3 minutes later.

" Kallen you put a star by every one!" Lelouch said staring at her like she was an idiot.

"You said to put a star by the activities that I wanted to do the most," she said indignantly though she smiled to herself for successfully annoying him.

"Okay which one do you want to do the most?"

"I would say that the one I'd like to do the most is go ice skating, it's something I've never done before and would like to try. There's a frozen lake by Ashford that we can skate on, so how about it?" Kallen asked.

" Sure, I'll pick you up at 6:45," Lelouch said as the two departed.

"See you then."

_ _ _

Nunnaly was already home by the time Lelouch got back, and it was as if she had never been at the auction.

"Shirley told me that she saw you at the auction," Lelouch said as he took a seat across from her.

"Yeah, after you left Rivalz was put out on the stage to be bid on, but no one said anything. I felt really sorry for him and Milly had to drag him off of the stage. Or at least that's what Sayoko told me," Nunnaly said.

"Oh yeah I remember that," Lelouch said thoughtfully.

-Flashback to the auction-

Lelouch was standing behind the curtain as Milly brought out Rivalz who had somehow convinced her to put him in the auction.

"And our last boy to auction off tonight is... Rivalz Cardemond," he'd heard Milly say. After that statement there had been a long silence as if no one was there.

"Ahem, uh hi?" Rivalz had said unsurely. 'There was so much clapping and cheers for Lelouch and Suzaku. Why are they quiet all of the sudden? They probably think I'm too good for them' he thought with a chuckle.

"Shall we start the bidding at 25 yen?" Milly had asked. There was silence.

" 15 yen?" she'd asked again. More silence

"10 yen? 5?" Still silence. Rivalz could have sworn he'd heard a pen drop. So to improvise he started to pose. One hand on his hip and the other in the air while he had one knee slightly bent. He heard a few scattered giggles throughout the crowd.

"Oh, come on girls!!" Milly had said with a slight giggle at the dumb pose Rivalz was doing.

"Milly is this some kind of joke?!" asked a girl in the front.

"Yeah 'cause if it is then I'm waiting for that big cane to pull him off the stage," said another girl.

"Er, no this is sadly not a joke,"Milly replied. Rivalz was lost in his own little world, and kept posing even though no one was paying him any attention. The girls started to leave, but Rivalz still kept posing until Milly came over and yanked on his arm leading him towards the drawn curtains.

"Huh? Milly who won the bid?" he'd asked eagerly after getting slapped back into reality.

Milly sighed. She didn't want to upset him, so instead of saying "no one", she said, "I did."

"Really!!!?" Rivalz shouted as ecstatic as he'd ever been. Milly nodded. Lelouch left with Kallen a little while after.

-End Flashback-

"It was pretty sad," Lelouch said as he stood. "I have to get ready for my date with Kallen. I'll try to be home early."

"Okay." Nunnaly said as she continued making the crane she'd been working on when Lelouch walked in.

It was now 6:15 and Lelouch was frantically throwing clothing out of his closet looking for something nice, but formal to wear. Every time Sayoko suggested something he'd say "No, that's not good enough," or " I ahte that shirt why did I even buy it?!" or something along those lines. Sayoko put up with this until Lelouch's indecisiveness annoyed her to the point of giving up. She sent Nunnaly up to choose an outfit for her dear stressed older brother. It may not have seemed like it, but Nunnaly was great at picking out clothes just by the feel of them.

"Lelouch?" she said as she navigated her wheel chair into what she knew as her brother's room.

"Yes Nunnaly?" he said turning around and replacing his frantic look with the kind caring one that was reserved for Nunnaly.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"I'm looking for some clothes for my date with Kallen," he said, slowly gaining back his self control.

"That's not what Sayoko told me. She said that you were going through your closet throwing clothes like a girl before her first date, or before prom," Nunnaly said.

"...." Lelouch stared at her.

"Here why don't you let me pick you out an outfit," Nunnaly suggested.

"Uh, okay," Lelouch said grabbing the handle bars to her wheel chair and pushing her over to his closet. He watched as she reached out and ran her hand along each shirt and pair of pants before finally making her decision.

" You should wear this one," she said turning her head towards Lelouch.

"That's a great choice," Lelouch said, a little bit surprised that she had such good taste even though she was blind. 'My blind little sister has better taste than me,' he thought , 'That's pretty sad.'

"Thanks Nunnaly," he gave her a warm smile and she left him to get dressed.

Once Lelouch was dressed he grabbed his wallet, shoved it into his pocket and went downstairs to gathered the rest of his things. He had fifteen minute to get to Kallen's dorm.

"You look very nice Master Lelocuh," Sayoko said when he went by. 'That's the exact same outfit I showed him earlier,' she thought.

" Thank you Sayoko. Please keep an eye out for Rolo and Nunnaly. Bye Nunnaly," he said kissing her on the forehead. "Bye Rolo," he shouted up the stairs. He then left to pick up Kallen.

******

Suzaku had no such troubles getting ready for his date. He pulled out a random pair of jeans and a shirt, put it on and took a cab to Euphie's house. But what he didn't expect was the door to be opened by a blond man that looked around the age of 20 and had blue eyes.

His gaze was skeptical. "Who are you?" he asked. His voice sounded kind enough.

"I-I'm Suzaku Kururugi, sir. I'm hear for my date with Euphy," Suaku responded meekly. 'Euphie didn't say anything about having a brother. Come to think of it I didn't think to ask.'

"So you're Suzaku?" asked the man.

"Yeah," Suzaku replied with a nod.

"Please come in," he opened the door wider and stepped aside so Suzaku could enter. "Euphie is always talking about you. I'm Schneizel el Brittania, Euphemia's older brother," he said as he led Suzaku onto the living room.

"Have a seat," Schneizel said, "Euphie will be down in a moment." He then left the room and Suzaku was left alone with his thoughts. 'Euphie never told me she had a bother, maybe she has other siblings. Why didn't she tell me earlier. Maybe i should have asked. At least her brother's not obsessed with her like Lelouch was with Nunnaly. I wonder i-' Suzaku heard the click of high heels and turned his head to see of it was Euphie, but it was a woman with purple hair that looked like she was between the ages of 25-30.

"Who are you?" she asked, her gaze was a bit unsettling.

"I'm Suzaku Kururugi. I'm here for my date with Euphie," Suzaku said for the second time in the past ten minutes.

"Oh really? So you're Suzaku?" she asked.

Suzaku nodded.

"Who gave yo permission to date my sister?"

"Well," Suzaku hesitated.

"Who?!"

"Erm.. Euphie...did," he replied slowly. 'I take that back she does have a sibling that worries over her to the same extent that Lelouch does Nunnaly.' he thought.

"What do you plan on doing when you get out of high school?'

"Well, i haven't really...thought..about ....it," his voice was getting softer with every word.

"Euphie can't marry a man with no planned future!!" she exploded.

"What are you talking about marriage for? I'm not marrying Euphie. I hardly know her!" he said.

"Why? Are you saying she not good enough for marriage? Huh?!"

"N-no, I was ju-"

"Cornelia stop!" Euphie shouted from the stairs, and for once Suzaku was happy to see her. "You'll scare him away like you did my last date. He moved all the way to Area 8," she whined. 'I don't think that's the only thing that made his move away. You're a bit creepy yourself,' Suzaku thought.

"I was just trying to make sure he was a decent match for you," Cornelia explained. 'You're absolutely insane woman!!!' Suzaku thought. 'At least Schneizel is sane.' That's what he thought before he saw Schneizel flirting with a red haired male butler. ' I take that back this whole family is insane.'

"We're leaving now. We're gonna take the limo" Euphie said pulling Suzaku by the arm towards the door. They slid into the awaiting limo. Onc e in and secured the chauffeur began the drive to the mall.

**Lelouch**

Lelouch had made it to Kallen's house , which was on the other side of the campus, with too much physical exertion and five minutes to spare. He leaned against the door and knocked weakly, too tired to give it a second try. As a result when Kallen answered the door he fell flat on his back. Kallen looked down and laughed.

"Ha ha very funny." Lelouch said sarcastically as he picked himself up off the ground. He brushed off nonexistent specks of dust before turning his attention to the red faced girl in front of him.

"Are you ready to go?" he asked.

"Yeah, but there's just one problem. I don't own any ice skates," Kallen said.

" Neither did I, but I went to the mall earlier just in case and bought some for us," Lelouch said holding up a bag.

"Oh, thanks. Well then lets go." Kallen grabbed Lelouch's wrist and led him to the frozen lake.
