Chapter 4 ~Questions, Questions, STOP THE DAMN QUESTIONS!!!~

The moment Lelouch stepped out of the room he was bombarded by his so called friends which resulted in him being dragged out right away.

He managed to give one last smile at C.C. before he yelled at them, "STOP DRAGGING ME!!! I'm not a toy you idiots!"

C.C. stood there, silent and still as a rock the little innocent girl inside her still in lalaland. That smile… I've seen it somewhere…

When she felt a tug on her kimono sleeve she immediately came back to earth, it was Kallen, "Say, what happened in there? It didn't seem like you kicked him this time in his private."

"Does that mean you won't get punished?" asked Euphy hopeful.

The three looked at Haha-ue, who just "Humph!" and walked away. Euphy's smile grew wider and she jumped around, "That's great, right, C.C.?!"

"Hm." She answered passively.

Kallen gave her a look, "Seriously, did something happen in there? I mean, he didn't seem upset at all. What did you do?" C.C. didn't answer her, she just merely shrugged and walked away.

"Wha—Hey! C.C.! I was talking to you!" yelled Kallen at the retreating form of the green haired girl.

Euphy bit her lip, "You don't think…" She trailed off and shifted her feet, which somehow annoyed the heck out of Kallen. She waited for Kallen to get what she was saying, which clearing was not working as Kallen placed her hands on her hips and started tapping her right foot.

"Talk, Euphemia." Commanded Kallen impatiently, "Talk."

Euphy bit her lower lip again, "You don't think she and that man… did it…?"

Kallen's angry face fell, That's a possibility… Since she didn't want to answer me when I asked her what they did inside just now… She shook her head, "No… C.C. was always against her own job, I don't think she'd—"

"You don't know, Lelouch. He's a smooth talker!" said Euphy exasperatedly.

"And how would you, Euphy, know that is so?" asked Kallen challengingly. She clearly does not want to believe that C.C. actually gave "service" to that young man just now.

Euphy stuttered, "Umm… I, uh… He-He seemed like the type!"

Kallen sighed, "Euphy, Euphy… Guys don't always seem like what they are, trust me, I've been there."

Euphy seemed reluctant," Still… Let's ask C.C. to be sure, Kallen…"

Both girls nodded and walked down the flower decorated halls of the brothel.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The brothel they lived in was in a way one of the most expensive ones in town, the floors were covered with high quality tatami, the walls were decorated with many kinds of flowers; jasmine, bell flower, rose, lily, possibly all kinds of flowers known to mankind. Not only that, the place has this unique fragrance made by the combination of many flowers, it is said to clam the nerves of customers before being "serviced".

Not only was the place luxurious, the kimonos given to each girls were made from the finest silk and each kimono has its own unique pattern. You can say that each girl's kimono was personally made for them.

That, C.C. hated. Why? Because she hates pink, the mere sight of the color makes her cringe. Well, except for Euphy's hair, she got used to that bright shiny pink hair. It took a lot of her guts to see Euphy every day… her electric pink hair was long, very long. But gradually, after the many attempts to ask Euphy to dye her hair into another color, she finally gave up and accepted her friend's naturally pink hair.

Well, enough about Euphy's hair. What creeped her out the most is that most girls wore pink, all kinds of pink. Hot pink, cherry pink, soft pink, electric pink, strawberry pink, pale pink, rose pink…

Really, C.C. spent a lot of time avoiding those pink kimono clothed girls. She was lucky enough that she got black, God knows what'll happen if her bright green hair was to be paired with pink. Kallen shuddered at the thought once and had told her never to try on anything that has to do with pink, well at least not electric pink.

C.C. walked through the halls and stopped on her tracks suddenly, one single thought ran through her mind, I didn't get to eat pizza for breakfast… And so, the green haired girl turned around and headed for her room to change.

"Was she good?"

"Hey, don't ask it like that! Was it good?!"

"What's the difference???"

"It's different. So?""

"How soft was her skin?"

"How does being a non-virgin feels like, Lulu???"

"I must be fabulous right, Lelouch???"

"SHUT UP!!!"

Silence filled the area of the pizzeria they all were all gathered in, only coughs of several people were heard. Even some of the people that were sitting near them moved away a little and the chattering died down a little.

Lelouch's voice has power, I swear, he must practice a lot to be that loud. Thought Rivalz, who practically had his hand over his head.

Lelouch's face was so red that no one dared to tell him, partly because they didn't know whether it was due to the question that was being asked or because he was angry. The other reason would be that they didn't want to be yelled at again. The pizzeria wasn't big but it wasn't small so they will catch attention.

"I-didn't-do-it." Lelouch said between gritted teeth.

Silence filled the area again.

"You-You… You didn't."

A nod.

"You didn't?!"

Another nod and more silence.

"WHAT THE HELL???"

Lelouch backed away, it was never a pleasant thing when Cornelia was angry.

"I paid for that, Lelouch!" her voice screeched through the area and people gave them odd looks.

"Cornelia-sama, c-calm down." Said Shirley timidly.

"Don't ask me to calm down! It was costly, you know!!!" she screamed again and pointed her index finger at her half-brother. "And yet you did not lose your virginity???"

Lelouch's face was beet red, partly from anger and partly due to the embarrassment his violet haired sister was giving him. "It's not like I wasted your money. Stop pointing at me, Cornelia Nee-sama, it's rude." Well, well, it seems like Lelouch have a major control of his emotions.

"What? What do you mean?" asked Suzaku. "You did get laid?"

"NO!!!" Maybe not enough control…

"Then what did you mean by not wasting Cornelia's fabulous money?"

"Well I got entertained. C.C. is interesting." Said Lelouch plainly as if nothing is wrong.

"You got entertained???" asked Gino mischievously, "What? She stripped?"

"Wha—NO! We talked, she played the harp, that's all!" said Lelouch frustrated.

"Hmm~" hummed most people.

"What you don't believe me??? I swear I—" Lelouch stopped, Was that—No, I must be imagining things… He was sure he saw a flash of green, no, a blob of unusual brightgreen. "C.C.?" he said, not realizing that he said it out loud.

The blob of bright green turned around and looked for the person who called her name, Who the hell would—

"Lelouch."

"Yeah, I thought so. No one has that unnatural hair…"

"And no one refuses to be called a boy."

"…" Lelouch glared at her, "Witch."

"Boya." She smirked.

The two were unaware of the many pairs of eyes watching their little banter. Some glittering with mischief, some filled with question, and some showed boredom.

"You think they'll make a good pair?"

"Who knows, maybe he'll actually sleep with her this time round?"

"We should leave them alone don't you think?"

"But he just met her didn't he?"

"Who cares? She's a prostitute!"

"She's (I'm) not." Said both Lelouch and C.C. together.

"Huh?"

Lelouch sighed "Everyone, this is C.C.. C.C., this is everyone. Don't bother to ask for their names."

C.C. nodded and bowed, not saying a word at all.

"Should we really not introduce ourselves?" whispered Gino to Anya, who in turn just shrugged.

Lelouch rolled his eyes and returned his attention to the girl next to him, "What are you doing here?"

Now it was C.C.'s turn to roll her eyes, "Pizza."

Lelouch gave her a what-the-hell-kind-of-answer-is-that look and C.C. gave him an obviously-you-can't-take-short-answers-can-you look.

Suzaku stared at Lelouch, this was the first time he actually interacts with a girl outside their group. Hm, interesting… This stupid virgin actually wants to talk with other girls… And he said she's interesting too… he thought with a mischievous grin.

Lelouch felt a dangerous aura emitting from Milly and the gang, by gang he meant Gino, Suzaku, Scheneizel, Kanon and Rivalz. He looked over to them to see them grinning evilly.

"What?"

"I can say why you said she's interesting… How old are you, C.C.?" asked Milly still grinning.

"I'll be sixteen in three weeks." said the green haired girl stoic.

"So Lelouch is into younger girls~" teased Suzaku.

I will strangle him, I will strangle him, I will strangle him, I swear I will strangle him… Lelouch patted Suzaku's shoulder, smiling at him, "Gee, Suzaku, I wonder what'll happen if someone found out that you rammed her car into an electric pole."

Suzaku immediately shut up, "Don't, please… I'll be in loads of trouble…"

Lelouch grinned and turned to face a certain green haired girl, whom at that very moment was bombarded with questions by Milly.

"So are you a virgin like Lelouch?!"

"Did you and Lelouch do it? He said he didn't but Lelouch lies all the time!"

"Is your hair naturally green?"

"Wow, it's soft, how do you take care of it?!"

Lelouch cringed, Poor witch, bombarded with so many questions… Now that I pay attention, she looks nice in that dress… What the—What am I saying? She's a witch, an evil, sarcastic, teasing, witch. So what if she looks nice in a white on piece? The dress seems to compliment her features though, her legs looks so white, and her hips are so--

"You're staring again, boya."

A little "Ooh"s and "Aah"s were heard around them.

"Shut up witch. It's just different seeing you in a normal dress." Said Lelouch plainly.

"Good different?"

Lelouch clamped his mouth shut, C.C. grinned, Milly and the others grin evilly and Shirley looked at the two worriedly.

"E-enough, shouldn't you go and get your food?" managed the black haired prince.

C.C.'s grin widen at the thought of her favorite meal, "Yes. Now if you'll excuse me."

As soon as the witch was off ordering pizza, Lelouch sighed and plopped down to his chair. "She's torture, just one day with her and all she did was tease me."

"Dude, she's into you!" exclaimed Rivalz.

"Shut up, Rivalz."

"Are you going to ask her on a date?! Kiss her after that?! And feel her up?!"

Lelouch gave him a disgusted look, "I JUST MET HER! And stop it with all the questions! All of you!"

Cornelia chuckled, "Alright, enough everyone. We need to go back, it's getting late. We'll give Lelouch another try tomorrow." With that she earned a glare from her half-brother.

"Cornelia's right, Lelouch, go say good bye to your love interest." Said Milly winking at him.

Lelouch gave an exasperated look, "She's not—Okay, that's it. Enough, I'm going to say good bye and that's it. I'm not interested!"

"I thought you said she's interesting." Said Anya bored.

Gino patted her shoulder, "Anya's right! You said she's interesting! We all heard it!"

Lelouch did a face-palm , Never tell this guys anything like that anymore, ever… "I'M GOING."

C.C. just finished ordering her pizza when she felt a tap on her shoulder, "I'm not interested—"

"And you think I am?"

C.C. smirked, "What do you want, boya?"

Lelouch grunted, "Witch, I'm just saying good bye. Being courteous doesn't hurt, you know."

C.C. chuckled, "What a gentleman."

"What sarcasm."

"Thank you."

"Not a compliment."

"Being courteous doesn't hurt, you know." C.C. finished with a big smirk. Hah, got you.

Damn this witch.

Lelouch cleared his throat and glared at her, "I'll see you soon, witch."

"Alright, boya."

With that the Black Prince left the Witch to devour her pizza.
