Chapter 3 ~Interlaced~

C.C. stared at the young man before her, silent and still.

Lelouch stared at the green haired girl in return, silent and still.

Why isn't he making his move? C.C. thought, By now, men would start to grope here and there…

Lelouch on the other hand was thinking the same thing, well not exactly, similar in a way, She's weird… Isn't she supposed to make the first move? She's a prostitute right?

Unfortunately, his question was written all over his face, making C.C. know the reason why he's so still. "I'm not what you think I am." She said sharply.

Lelouch raised his eyebrows and coughed, "But you are."

"No, I'm not."

"Yes, you are."

"No, I'm not."

"Yes you are, otherwise what the hell are you doing here?" Lelouch's just had to ask.

"I was sold here." C.C. said plainly. "That doesn't make me like those girls."

"Oh," was what Lelouch could manage. "Sorry."

"Why are you apologizing?" asked C.C. coldly, she hated it when people become sympathetic when she tells then that she was sold. She didn't need that bunch of lies.

"Well you said you were sold…" replied Lelouch a tad amused by the girl's cold demeanor. This is new, normally girls are all over me… This girl is interesting.

"What of it?" asked C.C. annoyed. What does he want? "Just do your thing and get it over with." She said again.

Lelouch was taken back, "Aren't you supposed to be doing the thing? You do this every day." Now he was annoyed, the green haired girl seemed to get in to his nerves.

"No. You're my first customer in a long time. And…" the young woman looked away, "… I've never…"

Lelouch seemed to understand what she was saying and his mouth opened, rather widely, "You've never?! But you're a pros—"

"I'M NOT." C.C. said slightly angry, "Stop saying that and just get it over with."

Lelouch fell silent, "I… don't know how to… I've also never…" He trailed off, hoping that she knew what he meant.

Now it's C.C.'s turn to do the mouth gaping act, though it wasn't so obvious due to her frozen self, "You mean you're a virgin. That's new…"

"So what are we going to do now?" Lelouch was really unwilling about this whole thing so he really wanted to leave that place and never come back. I'll definitely kill those guys later when I'm out…

C.C. shrugged, "You asked for me, you decide."

Lelouch sighed, Great… I really want to leave… But somehow, he couldn't get his eyes away from the girl in the black kimono in front of him. Somehow he couldn't rise to his feet, open the damn door and leave. He felt like staying and he wanted to find out more about this green haired girl, who keeps on denying that she's a prostitute even though she's in a brothel.

The Black Prince didn't even realize that he was engaging on a conversation with said green haired girl, "So… What's your name?"

C.C. raised her eyebrows, "Why do you care?" No one really bother to ask for her name, mostly because they're mad that she either punched them in the face or kicked them in the nuts.

"Well you don't exactly expect me not be courteous, now do you?" replied Lelouch plainly as if the answer was so obvious. "Do I look like that kind of guy to you?"

The girl before him shrugged, "I don't really care. I haven't met many kinds of men, most of the ones I've met so far are lustful, senile, and just plain perverted." Lelouch chuckled, "Yet you said you've never…"

"I've never. I just kick them in the nuts whenever they touch me." Spat C.C., her eyes showed slight annoyance.

Lelouch chuckled again, "Right. I better stay away then."

A moment of silence passed before the young woman spoke, "It's C.C.."

"Hm? What's C.C.?" The Black Prince seemed to have forgotten his question. C.C. gave him a look, "My name." she said coldly.

"Oh… What a weird name. Are you a witch or something?" asked Lelouch rather amused. C.C. raised her eyebrows, "Where did that come from?"

Lelouch shrugged, "I don't really know…"

Another moment of silence and Lelouch cleared his throat, "Isn't there anything we can do? You were trained right? Play music or something."

C.C. titled her head, as if thinking about what Lelouch said, "If you tell me your name, boy."

"WHAT?" The Black Prince looked insulted, "Did you just call me boy???"

"You are a boy, aren't you?" said the green haired girl, smirking at Lelouch.

"Witch."

"Thank you."

"That wasn't a compliment. Anyway, my name is Lelouch vi Britannia. Now go play some music already." said Lelouch plainly.

"Yes, Your Highness." C.C. said mockingly, she walked to the end of the room and picked up a harp. "Any particular song you'd like to listen to, Your Highness?"

Lelouch grunted, "Stop that. It's annoying, you know."

C.C. smirked, "Shall I not be polite then?"

Lelouch sighed, This never ends… "With the way you said it you really sound like you were just teasing me… Just Lelouch is fine."

"Dandy." added C.C. "So? Any songs?"

The Black Prince shook his head, "You play whatever you want to play. Just don't bore me."

C.C. smirked again, "I hope you know what's coming at you, Lelouch."

Lelouch gave her a confused look, "What are you--"

Before the Black Prince could continue his sentence, C.C. 's delicate fingers slowly plucked the thin strings of the gold harp that rested next to her. A beautiful melody rang through the whole room. Lelouch's mouth fell to the ground, not only the melody was stunning, so was the maestro playing it.

Both people stayed silent as one of them skillfully played beautiful music and the other unconsciously plastered his eyes on the lithe form of the young green haired witch.

"Like what you're seeing, Lelouch?"

Said Lelouch tore his eyes away from the witch's body," WHAT?" C.C. smirked," Well, you were staring…"

"I wasn't! Don't go around claiming things that didn't happen!" yelled Lelouch slightly blushing.

"There's no need to yell now there, Lelouch?" said C.C. grinning like a Cheshire cat." If you didn't do it then why did you yell? Unless… you did but is too embarrassed to admit it." She said the last part teasingly, well she really was teasing him but the last part was purely for her own amusement.

"Wha-- you! Just continue playing already!" said The Black Prince clearly embarrassed.

"Yes, Lelouch-sama… "said C.C. monotonously, but inside she was laughing her head off. Who knew she would get such a fun customer to entertain? No, no, a customer to play with to be exact.

C.C. continued to play the harp while Lelouch tried his best not to stare at her again. To avoid the witch's evil teases, he closed his eyes and decided to actually listen to the song played.

"It's a nice song…" he complimented.

"Thank you, it's nice to have a customer who I don't have to kick…" C.C. said appreciatively.

"You really kick them?!" said Lelouch," I thought you were joking!"

"I don't like jokes." Said the green haired girl plainly.

"Oh…"

With that the two remained silent until the piece C.C. was playing ended.

"That was pleasant. Thank you for entertaining me, witch." Said Lelouch smirking. "I'm sure I'm one of those irregular customers."

"Don't be so bigheaded boy. " said the witch returning his smirk.

For the first time that day, Lelouch laughed, "Right." He stood up," Well I'll be going then. Wouldn't want those guys to think we are doing naughty stuffs here." C.C. smirked, "Naughty stuffs? Didn't think you're capable of saying that."

Lelouch chuckled." You don't know me, witch." C.C. smirked, "You're right, you could be a psycho."

"Believe me, the psychotic ones would be those guys outside thinking I'd sleep with some random pros—girl." Lelouch quickly corrected himself, knowing that C.C. denies her status as a prostitute.

C.C. chuckled," Right…" She stood up, leading Lelouch out the room. He didn't call me a prostitute...

"I'll see you around?" asked Lelouch

C.C. smirked, "Only if you're ever planning to come back here."

Lelouch smiled," I might… Who knows, I might like to come to have your pleasant company again."

With that the handsome prince left with a confident look.

C.C., on the other hand stood there like an idiot, her cheeks slightly flushed.
