"Hey Suzarugi-chan!"It was just after the war had ended and a 10-year old Suzaku Kururugi was gazing over the newly destroyed Japan. He turned to his right and saw an old friend of his running towards him. "Hello Violet!" Suzaku greeted bowing to the runaway princess as she ran over, a deep blush on his face. He heard a thump and a groan as he stood up again to see that Violet had tripped not far from where he was. He ran over and let out a light laugh at her clumsy self.
Suzaku always loved the way her long black hair swayed in their pink tails as she ran, her two different colored eyes would be full of glee whenever she set her eyes upon him. Her eyes were her trait, Suzaku was not sure if he would not be able to tell her apart from other people when they grew up, but he knew by the way she acts that he would be able to tell right at the beginning. The way she dresses would stand out as well. Unlike most girls he knew from Japan, Violet always wore jean shorts and a tube top with the words, "Kill and run" written over the front, it fit her perfectly and hugged her small but matured figure.
"Still as clumsy as ever I see Violet," Suzaku laughed at the girl, helping her to stand now. Violet did not let out a single giggle as she stared at the boy in front of her sadly, before she spoke. "I'm leaving Suzarugi-chan..." Suzaku was alarmed by the news, his mouth open slightly as he silently gasped. He instantly grinned at her as he replied, "You'll come right back though right? This is your new home after all."
Violet sighed before pulling Suzaku into a tight hug, causing a blush to crawl on his face once more. "The world around me right now is dead and there is nothing left for me here. Innocent people have been killed out there! I can't just stand around when Lulu and Nunna might be hurt! So I'm going to go find them!" Lelouch and Nunnally were friends of their, but were more important to Violet than Suzaku. They were the only ones she could call Blood-related family, they all were runaways from the Royal Britannian Empire and family. Suzaku nodded his head firmly and hugged Violet back just as tightly as she hugged him.
Suzaku opened his eyes as he realized he had fallen asleep in his last class of his first day at Ashford Academy: Britannian History. He silently hated listening to how the Britannians overtook his country, separating him from his friends for seven years, during which he became an honorary Britannian soldier. Now that he was enrolled in Ashford Academy, he was able to find two of his three friends from his old life in Japan before the war. He just wished that the last of their friend was alright and unharmed, and prayed silently to see her smile at him again in person. Suzaku let out a sigh as the bell rang and the students slowly filed out of the room.
Lelouch Lamperouge, a friend of Suzaku's had heard the brunette sigh and walked past him, bumping the boy's chair slightly to gain his attention successfully. Suzaku turned his head in Lelouch's direction as the black-haired boy pulled at the collar of his uniform before walking out. Suzaku followed his friend to the roof where Lelouch stood looking over the school grounds, a couple of pigeons pecking at the ground not far from him.
"It's been 7 years since we've used this signal huh? When you used it, you seemed troubled though, is something wrong?" Suzaku questioned leaning against the stone railing beside his best friend. "I should be asking you that, ever since you saw me in class this morning you've been slightly depressed. Looking for Violet perhaps?" Lelouch gave Suzaku a knowing smile which turned into a smirk seeing a blush on the Japanese boy's face.
"I thought she would be with you and Nunnally but it appears I was wrong, she's still missing..." Suzaku trailed off looking out to the students on the ground, how most of them would be surrounded with their friends. "Speaking of which, do I still call you Lelouch, or do you go by another name now?" "I go by the name Lelouch Lamperouge now, the same goes with Nunnally. The old Lelouch is dead by papers, so for safety reason we had to change our names." "Oh, I see," Suzaku smiled at Lelouch as the mood lightened up a bit before looking forward again. "Think I'll make any new friends here? They all think nothing of me since I'm an eleven," Lelouch looked at his friend shocked for a few seconds before his face softened.
"Don't sweat it Suzaku, I heard a new student is coming tomorrow and supposedly he is also Japanese," Lelouch stated as Suzaku looked at him, most likely shocked from hearing Lelouch say Japanese instead of eleven. "Oh really? Another Japanese, well that'll be relieving, wonder what they'll be like." "Even if you both don't get along, Nunnally and I were your friends and we still are. We've got your back," Suzaku gave a small smile. "Well, about that. I don't think we should be seen talking to each other; I don't want the others to get the wrong idea about you or Nunnally. It would be best if we kept us being friends a secret." Lelouch opened his mouth to protest but Suzaku's pager went off, startling the soldier. The two friends let out a laugh before Suzaku stood straight. "I have to get back to work, I'm sorry to just run off like this," Suzaku stated scratching the back of his head sheepishly.
"Don't worry about it, duty calls, but seriously, come by sometime. I'm sure Nunnally would love to know you're alright; after all, you were just accused of killing Prince Clovis. She was really worried about you," Lelouch said smiling. Suzaku nodded in response as his pager went off again. He turned to leave, waving over his head as he ran off the roof back into the school. Lelouch looked out to the sky as Suzaku ran down the stairs that led back to the roof, both of them thinking at the same time.
'Violet, I hope you're alright.'
