Disclaimer: I realize I forget these a lot, but here goes. I only own my OC Akane Kagami.

A/N: Yah, it's late. I don't feel like checking for errors, so I apologize in advance if there are any mistakes. I'm going to bed now. See ya! Eh, that sounded more cheerful than I felt…

"Akane* Kagami, wanted for murder. Her name matches her crime, how…" the boy paused for a moment to find the right word, but never got the chance. The ground in front of him seemed to explode, the air quickly clouding with dust and smoke.

"W-what the? Hey!" he yelled as a piece of shrapnel nearly beheaded him. He looked to see where it had come from, and managed to make out a dark shape in the filthy air. It suddenly cracked in half, a figure stumbling from the back. Lelouch coughed, his vision clouded.

'Why am I alive? I should be dead. Why aren't I dead?'

And then he collapsed unceremoniously from both exhaustion and blood loss.

"H-hey! Are you okay? What happened?" the boy rushed to his side, false concern on his face.

'There isn't exactly a reasonable explanation for this, is there? Judging from this…pod, he's a military officer, but that outfit looks like a school uniform. Either way, he needs help. I should get him home, we can question him later.'

The boy pulled out his cell phone and punched a few buttons.

"Hey, Dad? This is Light. I need you to come pick me up."

*Just so ya'll know, her name means deep red mirror. I thought it kinda fit… but sorry if I suck at naming characters!

A/N: I realize this is super short, but I don't feel like writing right now. The only reason is because an awesome person by the username of DNAlchemist77 was kind enough to review.
