So this is the 2nd chapter. I do not own Code Geass, the manga, or anime.

Oh! And I forgot to tell you that this storyline is the same as the original R2, except Kallen was resigned right before episode 10.

I'm sorry about the years being mixed up. XP

BTW: Arigatou- thank you
Ja ne- see ya (Ja is pretty much the same)


Present

That was the last thing I said to her, and the last thing I wanted for the both of us. I had to, though. It was for her safety. I almost got the both of us killed.

I still remember every detail when I left Kallen...


I left the hospital at midnight when everyone was gone and asleep. I hated the hospital. It reminded me of my mother's death. It reeked of decaying bodies and the irony smell of blood, due to the soldiers from the ghetto. Before I left the room, I gave Kallen a kiss on the forehead, who was lying on the side of the bed, and had tear marks on her cheeks. It pained me very much that I had to see her cry like that. I never wanted to see her cry again like that.

After that, I said, "Aishiteru, Kallen." Then she mumbled: "Aishiteru, Lelouch." I smiled and walked out of the door.

But I knew that she come after me so I moved the Black Knight's base to somewhere else in Japan. I told the Black Knights that Kallen wanted to resign so she could live a normal teenage life. I told Milly that I was exchanging to another school, and I left the school grounds as soon as possible.

The rebellion ended 2 years ago. And these past 2 1/2 years were lonesome and boring. I live in the mainland now, since the rebellion ended. I wanted to live alone, but CC moved in with me without asking. She tried to have sex with me, but I just didn't feel right. We would kiss, but not anything serious. I knew Kallen and Gino went to college together, because, like I told her, I knew she would move on to fill in the pain that I caused her, and I know that pain still exists inside of herself as a hollowed-out part of her heart.


Lelouch's House

"C.C., I'm moving to another house."

"Why, Lelouch? Don't you like it here?" C.C said as she went up to him to softly rub his cheek.

"I want to get to know some people; you know, get to have some friends." Lelouch ties his shoes and starts packing his clothes.

"There are people here, too, ya know..." C.C. looks away kind of pissed off.

"C.C., there's only that old couple 14 miles from here, and we only have a cart for transport!" Lelouch said it in a smart-ass expression.

"Well, can I come, too?"

"No..." Lelouch didn't look at her, or even turn his head towards her, because he had soulless eyes and a plain facial expression. He didn't want to hurt her feelings now that she isn't immortal, anymore.

"... I see where this is going... You want Kallen back again, am I right?" C.C. said coldly as she looked away from him. 'I knew this day would come.'

"C.C., I-" Lelouch was cut off by C.C. standing up in front of him and crouching down.

"It's OK, Lelouch. I knew this day would come, anyway. You're SO gullible sometimes. Now, go get Kallen back. Besides, I heard the old couple have a very young, handsome son around your age." C.C. smirks as Lelouch leaves the door.

"Arigatou, C.C." As he left the house, he remembers the day he gave away the code C.C. gave him…

Flashback

"Lelouch look! It's a boy!" C.C. pointed to the ground. The boy was battered, beaten, and bruised. He was lying down, almost unconscious.

Lelouch walked up to him, and asked, "How did you get so beaten up?" Lelouch knelt down next to the Japanese boy and, put his hand on his shoulder.

"I-I got... beat up by... some Brits... just because I bumped into them. It hurts when I try to move..."

The boy was Japanese. Lelouch knew a quite few of his bones were broken, and he had an idea. "How would you like to live longer, huh?"

The boy looked up at him with light in his eyes. "Can... you really... do that,... mister?"

"Yeah! But you have to fulfill my one wish, right now." Lelouch touched him with his hand that had a magenta bird/v-shaped sign. The boy and Lelouch went into a dimension, in which the boy has never seen.

"What is it? I'll do anything! Please! I don't wanna die!"

Lelouch stood up and took a few steps the other way. "You need to take away my immortality... Do you except these terms?"

The boy smiled and said, "Yes..." They were warped back into the mortal world.

"Now, you will never die. You will live on, forever." Lelouch carried the boy to the cart to treat his wounds. When he did, he saw that he didn't have the code bounded to him anymore. He looked at the boy, and the code was on his upper arm...

Global Military Academy in Dallas, Texas

Lelouch is in front of the entrance to the academy. He walks up to the guard, took off his contacts, and uses his Geass on him. "I, Lelouch Vi Britannia, commands you to hand over your clothes, go get a new fresh set of clothes, go to the security room and delete this part of the footage, and then pretend nothing happened."

Lelouch dressed up, put on a mask to cover his true identity (like the one Sayoko had, but his voice sounds normal), put on a blonde wig, and put on blue contacts, similar to his violet contacts.

'I can't take it anymore. I need Kallen back in my life; my ace, my lover, my Red Lotus.'

Lelouch searched for his bright red-headed lover to a point that it seemed like an eternity. 'Damn it! At this point I won't be able to find Kallen before curfew. The academy is so big!'

Then out of nowhere, a mysterious man came up and did a Full Nelson on him. "What's up? Hey, wait a minute. I've never seen you before. You must be a new recruit!" The man let go of Lelouch, and apologizes.

"Sir! My name is John Grimblon, sir! I am the new janitor here, sir!" Lelouch said as he straightened up into a formal salute.

"Whoa! Okay, hold on there! My name's Gino Weinberg, but you can call me Gino. I'm the General around these parts, since I'm in the Knight of Rounds. You and I are about the same age right? I mean we look like it." Gino shrugs.

"Yeah, I guess…"

'Gino hasn't changed a bit since he came to Ashford.'

Out of the corner of Lelouch's eye, came a red-headed woman.

"Hey, Gino! Who's the new guy?" asks the bright red-head Lelouch dreamt of every single night for the past 2 1/2 years. She gave Gino a quick kiss on the cheek.

"But first I gotta introduce you to my girlfriend, Kallen Kozuki, the Knight of One, but soon to be fiancé!"Gino whispered to Lelouch as he winked and nudges at him.

'Damn it! No! I came here to find Kallen! Not to find her getting married!'

"So, what do ya do around here?" Kallen went over to Gino and cuddles with him.

"I'm the new janitor here." He looks around at the other cadets running around, wondering what his next move was, now that he found Kallen. 'Should I try to meet her somewhere after curfew, or make her acquaintance then tell her who I really am? No! That'll just ruin everything!'

"You look pretty young to be a janitor here, aren't you?" Kallen asked curiously and suspiciously.

"I, uh... just came here for some cash. I'm kinda runnin low on money." Lelouch scratches the back of his head while smiling with a goofy grin.

"I know what you mean! I took her out to eat at a fancy restaurant once and drained my wallet! But I don't mind, because I'd do anything for you!" Gino said with a tight hug.

"Aw! Thanks, Gino!" she said snuggling into his shoulder.

"So, uh... Where're ya from?" Gino said as he went over to Lelouch and putting his arm around him.

"I'm from... Germany."

Ring!!

"Sounds like the bell! John, you gotta go get to bed 3 hours after we do. It's an hour til curfew for us. From there, you gotta clean the bathrooms, locker rooms, and so on. Ja ne!"

"Ja!"


OK so that was the 2nd chapter! I'll update it a bit more later. 3rd chapter will be coming soon. R&R!

Secret!!! I'm gonna have a prequel after I finish this one! XD
