Wow, it's been a long time since I've updated this story. Well, I did tell you guys it might be a while. It would have been sooner, had I not been grounded, so right now, I'm working on this at school ^_^ hopefully I'll be ungrounded soon and can update more freely. Well, anyway, lets get on with the R2 portion of the story!

R2 chp1—

Britannia

Eve walked down to the flight hanger, looking through her papers. Her and some other Britannia soldiers were preparing to leave for Area 11, to help the new Viceroy. As she stepped into the hanger, her papers were strewn everywhere by the jets and helicopters preparing to leave.

"Damnit…" she muttered, beginning to gather the papers. She noticed someone else helping her. looking up, she saw a tall guy with blond hair and blue eyes, and by the looks of his unique uniform, he was a Knight of the Round. "Thanks."

"No problem," he said smiling at her. His smile was adorable. The stood up and he handed her the papers he'd gathered. "Are you heading to Area 11 as well?" he asked.

She sighed. "Yes. Are you?"

"Not yet," he said rubbing the back of his head, "I'm heading over later. I'm Gino, by the way," he said holding out his hand.

She smiled and shook his hand. "Eve. Well, I need to—,"

"Gino!"

They both looked to see another Knight of the round walking towards them.

Suzaku Kururugi.

"Gino, the emperor has called a meeting for the Knights of the Round," he said, his face expressionless.

"Again? That's getting tiring," Gino said, exasperated.

Suzaku noticed Eve, stiff shoulders, flipping through her papers.

"It's been awhile Eve," Suzaku said smiling.

She looked up at him through her bangs. "Kururugi."

Gino looked from Eve to Suzaku. "You know each other?"

"Yeah, Eve was my drill instructor," the brunette explained. "So how have you been?"

"Fine, Sir Kururugi," she said monotonously. "Now if you'll excuse me." Then she walked off.

"What was with her?" Gino asked.

Suzaku looked puzzled. "I don't know…" He ran to catch up with her and fell into stride beside her. "What's wrong? You seem upset."

"No shit…" she muttered.

"With who?"

She stopped so suddenly that he had to stop and look back at her.

"You wanna know who I'm upset with? Who the hell do you think?" she yelled furiously.

"Me?"

"Yes!"

"Why?" he asked, a bit taken back by her anger.

"'Why?' Well, for one thing, you betrayed your best friend, and used that betrayal to go up in the ranks! That's just disgusting," she said, spitting at the floor.

Suzaku grew ridged. He spoke quietly, as if someone might over hear, although they were in a secluded an empty hallway. "I had to. Lelouch was killing thousands of people an—,"

"He's still your best friend! You don't betray best friends, no matter what they do," she said, clenching her fists. Without another word she marched off, leaving Suzaku filled with rage, and wondering how she'd known about all of that. The Emperor hadn't told anyone...

Eve flopped angrily down on her bed, her hair sprawling across the pillow.

"You'll regret it someday… Suzaku…"
