Hey, everyone this is Darth Writer55 here saying: ENJOY CHAPTER 6!
Lelouch shot awake to find himself near a stream under a shady tree, he was no long wearing a t-shirt and jeans instead he wore a white collared shirt, a tie, and a tunic wrapped around his shoulders. His pants felt like as if it was part of his school uniform, and on his feet were Dark dress shoes; he wore a rice workers hat on his head with a face mask over his nose and mouth. There were horses nearby drinking from an oasis; a large kart was parked beside the horses with a mountain of hay inside. Lelouch sighed as he got up and began to lead the horses back to work.
"Well, at least I know he isn't lying about the area he was sending me to, well I better get moving."
Lelouch heard some rustling of grass and he peered from his work seeing nothing, shrugging he simply retied the harness to the cart of hay he was 'supposed' to transport to a nearby village. Soon Lelouch was back on the dirt road. He sighed suddenly feeling lonely and bored. Normally he would either be wiping the floor with Nobles in Chess and ignoring school work, or he would be plotting the next plan to take down Britannia, now just seemed different, like the weight of the world was taken off his shoulders even if it is temporally.
"Well, I can always live like this, I have responsibilities, I guess I should just relax with the time I have now."
Lelouch now passed a white house near a field of crops, he has been driving the cart for about thirty minutes last time he checked the watch on his arm.
"You know, I can't believe I'm thinking this but… I really wish C.C was here, then I would have someone to debate with even though it is something pointless and even though I look like I'm ticked off at her but I really like the conversations and arguments we had, it was a way of letting off steam after a long day."
Lelouch let out a long sigh… He looked up to the sky and wiped his face the blazing sun starting to get to him. As he was about to pull down the face mask he heard a voice, a voice he'd know anywhere he went, the sound of her voice was like a drop of water dripping from a stalactite, firm, loud, arrogant, proud and full of confidence with a hint of sarcastic boredom.
C.C had just packed all her things from Jeremiah's Orange farm to go look for a new contractor, one who could fulfill her hearts true wish, she smiled one last time and said farewell to Jeremiah and Anya.
C.C began walking down the dirt road in the dress Lelouch had gotten her for Valentine's Day. As she continued down the path she started feeling lazy and didn't feel like walking to the next town, she spotted a man slumped on the stump of a tree snoozing with his arms cross while two brown horses grazed near the oasis, as she neared the cart the man stood up and stood looking into the water before wiping his face. She quickly climbed into the hay bed and set her Mr. Cheese where she would lay her head. She set her bag down and settled in.
A few minutes later she felt the cart move but she can't shake off the feeling someone she knew was close. During the ride she sorted through her memories, every time she remembered Lelouch she couldn't help but smile. She noticed a white house nearby and smiling about a memory she shared with Lelouch, it was right after Mao tried bringing her to Australia and discussed what a white mansion would look like, Lelouch said six windows on one side and two stories high as she argued that it was probably a shack with nothing worth living in. She smiled, no longer feeling lonely anymore, she had someone and he would always be there for her. She took out the pink origami crane she folded her wish that the slim chance of being able to see Lelouch a second time and placed it near her head presenting it towards the sun.
She then said with a nice firm voice not caring whether the driver heard her or not, A message to Lelouch.
"I said that Geass was the power of King that would condemn you to a life of solitude, I believe that just isn't correct, right, Lelouch?" putting a mocking tone on Lelouch's name.
Lelouch was shocked to hear her say that, the immortal witch, asking such a ridiculous question?
Whatever, I'll humor myself.
"You know, saying the Demon Emperor's name could get you killed, even out here in the countryside." Lelouch stated as he slowed the cart.
"Just so you know, I am the Demon Emperor's consort and mistress, I doubt you can kill me." C.C replied.
"You know, I am currently looking for an accomplice, I was wondering whether you would want to help me with a quest..." C.C offered nonchalantly.
"I'd rather not, someone like you would probably take advantage of me, and use me to fulfill your own wish." Lelouch replied.
"You know, you remind me of someone, someone very close to me..." C.C admitted softly.
Lelouch heard the hurt behind her voice, and decided to surprise her later.
Kallen awoke from her bed, she had just received a dream, she saw the world descend in to complete darkness as Knightmares lined the sky she was not in her Guren which surprised her instead she was in a cave and a blinding light exploded in her eyes, and that's when she woke. She got up she placed the key to her Knightmare entrusted to her by Zero, as she passed Lelouch's picture her thoughts began to talk to him.
"Hey, Lelouch, the world has gotten a lot better since that eventful day. All the expenses that had been spent on war are now focused on solving hunger and poverty. As planned all the hatred was placed on you, maybe it's easier to blame a person with a name rather than a piece of technology called Damocles. Perhaps I'm putting it too simple, but whatever the reason, the world is free from the past and moving towards the future. I bet your out there somewhere laughing at everything that has gone according to you elaborate plan. Never the less there are still plenty of problems but even so… Thank you." Kallen thought as she ran to school.
A few minutes had passed since the two decided to speak, Lelouch was the first.
"You know, I have been wondering, about the contract you offered me earlier, what kind of contract is it? You a real instate agent or something?"
A few minutes past, Lelouch thought that C.C had disappeared and he would have to locate her manually, but then that same pure noted arrogant voice replied, "No, I am not an agent, not for real estate anyways, I am the Demon King's consort, no smart company would even bother hiring a witch like me."
Lelouch found the perfect time to ensnare C.C into his trap.
"What if, the Demon Emperor, were to offer you a contract instead, would you accept it, Charle~?
Before Lelouch could finish saying C.C's full name he noticed a gun pointed at him, somewhere, somehow without him noticing C.C had dropped down right next to Lelouch, with a gun, aimed directly at his head.
"How, do you know my name, only one person in this entire world knows my name, and he's long dead!" C.C cried her voice no longer pure, but filled with anger, hate, with a hint of suppressed angst.
"You know, the only ones who shoot are those prepared to be shot at." Lelouch grinned as he brought a gun right to C.C's forehead where her mark is, shocking her.
C.C opened her mouth to say something but no words came out, Lelouch noticed a lone tear had fallen, as it was about to fall he dropped the gun and caught the tear in his hand, with his other hand he tied the horses reign on the post near his feet to ensure it didn't drop to the ground, then brought it up to his face, took off the hat and pulled down the mask relieving the face the world had grown to hate.
"Le...Lelouch... is, is it really... you?" C.C's voice was cracked as she held back the lump that got caught in her throat. Before she was able to say anything else Lelouch brought a hand to C.C's chin, lifted it, and brought his lips to her tender ones, kissing her, how they had first kissed on the Gawain during the Black Rebellion.
"Yes, I'm back.
