Tamaki was having a bad day. He was stuck in prison; he had failed to find the stupid princess; he didn't have lunch or dinner; and to make everything worse, Zero's misters, or whatever she was, is dead. For the last few hours, he was interrogated by the knight of seven on the whereabouts of the Princess.
"Why do they think I know where she is?" he grumbled to himself. Suddenly, the cell door opened, and a soldier walked in,
"What do you want?" Tamaki asked angrily. "It's the middle of the night! Are you going to interrogate me all night or...oh. Wait, you're here to execute me!" Tamaki looked around the room for some sort of weapon.
"Calm down." The soldier ordered.
"You are going to kill me!" Tamaki wailed, "Why should I calm down?!"
"You're going to wake up the whole camp." The soldier hissed, "If you want to get out of here, then shut up and follow me."
"Who are you?" Tamaki demanded loudly, "Why should I believe anything you say?" The soldier reached up, and took of her helmet.
"CC?" Tamaki gasped, "You're alive? But how?"
"We need to leave now." CC said, ignoring his question. Suddenly, the two of them heard footsteps.
"RUN!" CC yelled as two soldiers came into sight. The two of them bolted out of the prison.
"The prisoner is escaping!" yelled a soldier, "Call the knight of seven." CC and Tamaki were almost out of the camp, when the Lancelot landed in front of them. The cockpit opened, and the Knight of Seven glared down at them.
"CC," The knight of seven said, "So you were the Black Knight that was shot. I should have known. What did you do with Nunnally?"
"Suzaku," CC said, amused, "Do you really think we know where she is?"
"Listen to me witch!" Suzaku snarled, "I don't want to hear any of your lies! Where is Nunnally?"
"What do you want me to say?" CC asked, "We caught her and killed her? We are torturing her for information? Do you think that we would still be here if we had her? Do you think Zero would leave me stranded here?"
"Do you work for the new Zero now?" Suzaku asked, "Or is he the old Zero. What about Lelouch? Are you still trying to contact him?"
"Of course," CC said, "but it's hard to get to him when he's being watched. That's why I'm working for Zero; he promised to help me get to Lelouch." Suzaku's eyes narrowed as he tried to see if she was lying.
"Do you two know each other?" Tamaki asked, completely lost, "Who's Lelouch?" CC and Suzaku shot him annoyed looks.
"Tamaki, do me a favor and shut up." CC snapped. She walked up to Suzaku's Knightmare and touched it.
"No, don't!" Suzaku yelled, grabbing his head. "Stop it!"
"Tamaki, run." CC commanded. Tamaki took a few steps back, and ran into the forest.
"She's a witch!" he thought, "That's how she survived being shot! Getting Lelouch back, that must be the contract that she was talking about." He stopped after a while to catch his breath.
"She can't be a witch." He muttered to himself, "They don't exist…do they? If she's not a witch, then what did she do to the Knight of Seven to stop him from killing us? Also, she did survived getting gunned down…"
"Are you ok?" a voice said from behind him. Tamaki jumped to see CC standing there.
"What? How? Why?" he spluttered.
"I'm tired," CC complained, "I'm going to bed. You can thank me tomorrow."
.
The next morning…
At the Black Knight's base…
.
"So this is the new recruit." Dietheart said.
"This is Lelouch." Oghi said, introducing the prince.
"I feel like we've met before." Tohdoh remarked, frowning. Oghi suddenly remembered a conversation he had with the princess.
"My brother and I lived here for a while…we were here before the war." Nunnally explained.
"I see," Ohgi said, "Why would you and your brother be sent to Japan if they were planing to invade it?"
"It's….it's because our mother died," Nunnally said sadly, "After she died, we were sent to Japan as bargaining tools. We got stuck there during the war."
.
"They were probably sent to the Prime minister's place; so that means Tohdoh met them before." Oghi thought.
"I've never met you before." Lelouch lied, calmly. Tohdoh's frown deepened but before he could say anything else, the door opened, and Kallen walked in.
"I heard a new recruit just arrived." She said, then she noticed Lelouch.
"Oh no, Kallen!" Oghi though, worriedly. "I forgot she would recognize him. What should I do!?"
"What is he doing here?" she spluttered.
"Do you know each other?" Dietheart asked, raising an eyebrow.
"We met at school." Lelouch said calmly.
"Wait, you're the new recruit?!" Kallen exclaimed. "How did that happen?"
"I ran into Oghi, and he helped me join." Lelouch said, with a twinge of anger in his voice.
"Oghi?" she said, looking at the older Black Knight. "What?"
"Kallen, can you show me around the Black Knight's headquarters? Since I've never been here before, I'll need a guide." The prince said with bit of sarcasm. Oghi felt like he was missing something really important, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
"Do you mind if I show the new recruit around?" Kallen asked Tohdoh.
"Sure." Tohdoh said, still deep in thought. Kallen grabbed Lelouch's arm, and dragged him away.
"I have to go to…" Oghi said quickly, before someone started asking questions about the new recruit. After he left the room, he decided to check on Nannally.
"I know I should be more worried about Kallen, but, the way Lelouch was acting, I feel his secrete is safe." Oghi thought as he walked down the hall. As he passed one of the empty control rooms, he heard a speaker turn on.
"Hey, this is Tamaki, is there anyone in control room one?" Tamaki asked. Oghi walked in, and turned the speaker on.
"This is Oghi, anything to report, Tamaki?" Oghi asked.
"What do you mean anything to report?!" Tamaki exclaimed, angrily. "Do you know what's been happening to me in the last twenty-four hours?"
"No, did something happen?" Oghi asked, worriedly.
"I was captured by the Britannians!" Tamaki yelled, "Didn't CC tell you that?"
"No…" Oghi said, "Are you ok? Do you need us to brake you out?"
"No, I'm free." Tamaki huffed, "I have another thing to worry about."
"What's that?" Oghi asked.
"CC's a witch!" Tamaki exclaimed.
"What?" Oghi asked, bewildered.
"She has magic spells!" Tamaki said.
"Ok Tamaki," Oghi sighed, "You should stop drinking."
"I'm not drunk." Tamaki wined. "I mean it."
"I'm sure Zero's Mistress isn't a witch." Oghi said, rubbing his forehead.
"She's not Zero's mistress!" Tamaki said.
"Really, then what is she?" Oghi asked, tiredly. He really hated when Tamaki was drunk.
"She has a contract with him." Tamaki explained. "She's working with him to get this guy named Lelouch."
"What?" Oghi demanded, the color draining from his face.
"She's trying to get this guy, but he's being watched." Tamaki said, "She's ether in love, or need's him for a horrible spell. I knew that girl was trouble when I first saw her…" Tamaki talked on, but Oghi was no longer listening.
"CC's after Lelouch," he thought, "Well, maybe it's a different Lelouch…that's stupid. It's not a common name. How about the Lelouch back at school…stop it Oghi, you know you are just making excuses. No wondered Zero let him join. If Lelouch joins the Black Knights, it will be easy to turn him over to CC. I'm such an idiot! I basically just handed Lelouch over to his enemies! What if Tamaki's right and she's a witch? Ok, that sounds crazy. But, with everything happening, she might be."
"Hey Oghi!" Tamaki yelled, "Are you listening?"
"Huh?" Oghi said, stupidly, "Oh, I have to go."
"Oh," Tamaki said, disappointedly, "Well, can you tell someone to get me off this island? I don't want to be stuck with a witch."
"Yeah, ok." Oghi said, distractedly. He turned off the communicator and rushed off.
.
Meanwhile…
.
"Ok Lelouch, what's going on?" Kallen demanded, as soon as they were in an empty hall.
"Oghi has my sister." Lelouch said, slightly angrily.
"What?" Kallen said.
"Instead of killing her he "saved" her to keep her safe from Zero." Lelouch sighed. "Now he's "Kidnapped" me to bring me to her."
"What are you going to do?" Kallen asked.
"Right this second?" Lelouch said, "Nothing, I'm going to play Lelouch the Black Knight until an opportunity to fake my death comes along."
"What about Zero?" Kallen asked worriedly, "People will get suspicions if Lelouch disappears when Zero appears."
"I'll call CC and Tamaki back from the island." Lelouch said, "CC can cover for me."
"Are you angry at Oghi?" Kallen asked.
"Yes, and no." Lelouch admitted, "He lied to me, but he's protecting my sister. Once this is all over, I might put him in charge of protecting Nunnally."
"So for now I should treat you like another member of the Black Knights." Kallen said.
"Yes," Lelouch said.

Flying Over the Sea…
.
"I never thought I'd see the day that I'd go save Zero for the Black Knights." Villetta grumbled as she flew her Knightmare across the sea. Her plan was simple. Use the codes Sayoko gave her to sneak into the Black Knights ship, Find Zero, and bring him back. If there was time, go check on Oghi-
"I cannot think about him." She growled to herself, "So what if he's a nice eleven who showed kindness to me even if I was his enemy? It's not like he's important…I hate being in love."

Please make my day and review.
