Chapter 18: The New Student

In front of the class stood Kaguya Sumeragi. Suzaku's mouth fell open in surprise as he stared at his cousin in the Ashford girls uniform, and he started to get a feel of how Lelouch would react if he'd seen Nunnaly in such a short skirt and tight top. 'Last time I remembered, Kaguya was younger than me.' he thought. 'So why is she in my class?'

"This is Lady Sumeragi Kaguya. She will be partaking in this class for the week." the teacher said, allowing her to elaborate on her introduction,

"Hi everyone!" she said cheerfully. "I'm Kaguya Sumeragi as the teacher hear just said. Kaguya will be just fine. I'm younger than a lot of you guys here, but I decided to attend this class 'cause my cousin's in this class. His name is Suzaku Kururugi. Where does he sit?" she asked looking around the room for her cousin. Suzaku tried to sink into his seat, but Shirley, being the kind-hearted, nice person that she is said, "He sits right here in back of me." She'd even leaned over so Kaguya could see that he was there.

"Hi Suzaku!" she said waving to him. The whole class turned around and stared at him. Suzaku gave returned Kaguya's greeting with a weak wave and wished he could just disappear. Of course, it could have been worse.

"Can I sit by him?"she asked looking at the teacher innocently.

"Well, the seat beside him is unoccupied, so I suppose you could-"

"Thanks!" she interrupted picking up her bag and going to sit by her beloved cousin.

"Kaguya why are you here?" Suzaku asked, rolling his eyes as she took her seat next to him.

"Well I decided that it's been too long since I've last seen you, and I already knew you were here. Since your busy all the time because you joined the military, I thought that the best way to get to spend time with you is to go to school with you, but I can only stay for a week," she replied.

"Kaguya it's been years since I've last seen you. Why do you suddenly care now?" Suzaku asked. Kaguya shrugged, and he turned his attention back to the lesson being taught. It was going to be a long week.

***

The next day Lelouch was back at school. Everyone was saying how much they missed him, and Kallen was a lot less stressed. Suzaku had noticed the glazed over look in Kaguya's eye's when Lelouch had entered the class and was starting to get worried that she liked him, but it could work out for the better.

***

"Kallen," Lelouch said as she exited her classroom, it was the end of the school day and everyone was rushing out of the building, "I was wondering if you'd like to go to dinner tonight?" he asked nervously.

"Sure. Pick me up around 8:00." she said. Kallen was starting to like Lelouch more and more with every second she spent with him, and she was fairly certain that she really did return his feelings for her.

"Hey!" Kaguya shouted stomping over to them. "He's mine! You're not going anywhere with him!" Kaguya grabbed Lelouch by the wrist and tried to pull him away, but failed. Ever since she had first seen Lelouch, Kaguya knew she liked him, but getting him to like her back was going to take hard work.

"Since when have I been yours?" Lelouch demanded.

"Ever since i said so silly," Kaguya replied matter-of-factly, standing in her toes to tap him on the nose(i really didn't mean for this to rhyme.)

"Well I'm no-"

"Okay Lady Kaguya," Kallen said humoring her for the moment. "We won't go anywhere without you, or your permission."

"Thank you, and you can call me Kaguya," she said turning on her heal to catch up with Suzaku. Leaving the couple slightly confused.

Kallen stared after her until she disappeared around a corner; then she turned her attention back to Lelouch.

"What was that about?" Kallen shrugged.

"Oh well, so i guess I'll see you a 8:00," she said turning to leave for her dorm.

***

"Can you believe it Suzaku?!" Kaguya exclaimed following him as he made his way to his dorm.

"What?" he asked exasperatedly. Kaguya had been following him ever since the beginning of the school day. She'd followed him to all his classes, which she now also attended, followed him when he sat with his friends at lunch, she'd even followed him to the bathroom on several occasions, and now she was following him to his dorm, and all the while she talked and talked and talked until Suzaku didn't care and no longer focused on what she was saying.

"That red headed girl was talking to my Lelouch about going out to dinner tonight!" she exclaimed again. "I can't believe that he would ask her out when he has me! After I did all this work of making a scrapbook for him!" She pulled said book out of her bag and opened it up to a random page, it had a lot of out of focus picture of Lelouch that she had obviously taken when he wasn't paying attention.

"I think you should put that away and never show it to anyone," Suzaku said as they came to the entrance of the boys' dorms. "You can't come in here. See that sign? It says boys' dormitory," Suzaku said pointing to the sign and drawing out the sentence slowly to his younger cousin.

"I know that," Kaguya said putting her hands on her hips, "Kallen volunteered to share her dorm with me for the week since she has a room to herself."

"Okay, well then see you later," Suzaku said turning and entering the building.

"See ya." Kaguya turned and headed towards the girls' dorm.

***

Kallen opened the door to her dorm before Kaguya had even knocked. It was around 7:30, and she'd just thought Lelouch was early.

"Hi," Kaguya said waving up at her when she opened the door.

"Hi," Kallen replied opening the door wider so that Kaguya could enter. Her bags had already been taken up.

"Why are you all dressed up?" she asked sweetly.

"I'm going out, why?" Kallen replied.

"Nothing, I was just wondering. Who're you going with?"

"Le- Wait why does it matter?!"

"I'm curious, so who?"

"No one." Then there was a knock at the door and their conversation came to an abrupt halt. Kallen got up and answered the door. It was Lelouch, and there couldn't have been a worse time to show up.

"What she doing here?" he asked immediately noticing Kaguya who was sitting on the couch flipping through channels like she owned the place..

"Oh, I forgot that I volunteered to share my dorm with her, since I have it to myself. She'll only be here for a week anyway," Kallen said quickly, grabbing her coat and backing Lelouch into the hall. She closed the door behind them.

"We need to hurry and leave," she said grabbing his hand and pulling his towards the elevator.

"Alright," Lelouch replied trying to keep pace with tripped into the elevator and landed in her arms. She smiled at him and they began to lean forward...
