A/N: Thanks to all who reviewed, faved, and put this on alert! I wuv you all :3 To make up for the super short chapter and my recent inactivity, I give you this!
Have you ever had that moment where you wake up in a strange place, and can't remember where you are for a moment? Take that feeling, remove the part where you recognize your surroundings, remember everything is all right, and relax, that is what Lelouch was feeling.
He was covered in his own blood, lying in an unfamiliar place, and ready to kill the next person he saw for answers. To say the least, Lelouch was pissed.
The room looked like it would belong to a teenager. A very neat teenager. There was a small television on a dresser, a bookshelf almost full to the brim with what looked like law books, and a tidy desk with several drawers.
Suddenly, the door opened, and a boy with neatness to rival the room walked in, carrying a tray of food. Not a single brown hair was out of place, and his equally brown eyes held the faintest red tint. He noted with some surprise that Lelouch was awake.
He smiled brightly, but the smile seemed fake to Lelouch. "So then, you're finally awake. Maybe you could answer some questions for us."
Lelouch glared at him suspiciously. "Like what?"
The boy's bright smile seemed to wilt slightly at the aggressive response, but Lelouch showed no guilt.
"Well, your name for starters."
Lelouch opened his mouth to let out a stinging answer, but no sound came out.
'Wait, what's my name again?'
"I, um…" he said intelligently.
The boy chuckled. "We knew amnesia was a possibility, so arrangements have already been made. My father volunteered to take you in if this happened. Let's pick out a name for you, since it seems your memory is failing you. What would you like it to be?"
Obviously, this was a bit much for Lelouch to take in all at once. He blinked several times, trying to process the information. The boy noticed the lost look on Lelouche's face and chuckled.
"Let's go online for a while, shall we?" he suggested. Lelouch nodded. Logically, going along with this boy would seem the best choice of action.
Together, they searched baby names sites, trying to find one that would fit.
"Hey, what about that one?" the boy suddenly exclaimed, pointing at the screen.
'Katsu? The site says it means victory. I like it.'
Lelouch nodded again, showing his approval.
"Since you are my new foster-brother, you will receive our last name, so there's no need to come up with one. By the way, my name's Light." he put out his hand.
Lelouch smiled and shook the offered hand. "I'm Katsu."
A/N: Wow, that took a while. My mom kept trying to kick me off the computer so I could get some exercise. This backfired when I got tired of wearing shoes and decided to kick a soccer ball around. A word of advice; do not attempt. My poor foot is still bleeding. The ridiculous thing is that I didn't even notice until I got inside.
