A.N. Hey, so I really wanted to get this chapter done, since it gets more into the story. This is set, sometime in the first season of Code Geass, the exact episode I will determine later. Lelouch's Geass isn't permanent!

Disclaimer: Don't own Code Geass.

Lelouch POV

I sat through class, bored out of my mind. Not particularly eloquent, but true enough. I sigh and lazily stare out of the window. Class hasn't even started (our teacher is 5 minutes late, looking for our new student). All around me, people are trying to speculate what said student will be like. I glance at Suzaku before staring out the window. At least people aren't staring at him anymore, and this 'new student' craze is drawing even more attention from him.

The door swings open, and Mr. or Ms. Whatsisface walks in. "Class this is our new student, please treat her with respect." The class breaks out into instant chatter, and most of the male population seems happy the student is female. "If you would please introduce yourself."

"Hello, my name is Jacqueline Creed, it is a pleasure to meet you. I hope we all become wonderful friends." At the name Jacqueline, I internally cringe, and look up. All I can see is a girl, with long dark brown hair, bending at the waist in a bow. I can tell she's tall, maybe almost at Suzaku's height, or taller. And she's wearing the boys' uniform. When she rises, I see her eyes, and suddenly all I can see is a 10 year old version of her yelling at me, crying.

"You Britannians are all the same! I hate you, my father, your father, every last one of you! Was I ever anything more to you than a pawn in your game? I probably wasn't even considered an ally to you!"

She yelled at me, even though my mother just died, even though Nunnally was crippled. She had reason. I was dropping her like a hot stone, acting as though I had no use of her. I couldn't afford to. To have a friend would be seen as a weakness. My father swallows the weak whole. She was done yelling at me, looking at me with that same, cold, stone hard expression she gave me the first time we met.

"I really do hate you, Lelouch vi Britannia." Each syllable of my name was punctuated with her hate. My Filipino savior was no longer.

I shook myself from my trance and took a closer look at the girl. She definitely looked Britannian, but like Kallen, you could see hints of something else in her face. Her eyes held that same dull expression, that dark hazel becoming darker, almost black. But she looked so much like her, they even had the same first name. Rivalz noticed me staring and jabbed me in the side.

"See something you like?" he asked with a wry grin.

Jacqueline POV

I was walked around the school by Milly Ashford, the only one who understood my situation. "My grandfather is letting you stay in one of the older dorms, so you won't have a roommate. This one is quite large, with its own bathroom, kitchenette, and sitting area. Most of the girls get the heebie jeebies when they enter these rooms, so you'll most likely stay in the dorm alone. That makes it easier on you, and you can have your visitors whenever it's necessary."

"Can I paint my room and decorate it however I want?" She nodded and explained how, since it was an old room, I could redo the decor however I saw fit. She showed me my dorm and opened the door for me. I stepped and was ambushed by a girl with orange hair.

"Hyaaa!" She tackled me and Milly bound my feet and tied my wrists behind me back. Then I was lifted up by the two of them and they ran. We got to a room (Student Council Room?) and then I was tied to a chair. Gagged.

Suzaku POV

Lelouch and I walked down the hall together so we could get to the Student Council 'Emergency' Meeting. Sometimes, Milly just wants an excuse to torture us, as Lelouch puts it. I swing open the door, and there's Milly and Shirley Putting make-up on some poor girl tied up to a chair.

"Ok, listen, Jackie, first things first. You must wear the female uniform I assign to you for the entire month, the you can get these back." Here, she holds up a black folded bundle. "Second, I get to do your make-up, everyday. Finally, you become a member of the Student Council! I always need people to torture- I mean nurture, and your fresh face will add some fun to the mix!" Shirley untied the girl after removing the gag.

The girl spoke in a calm voice. "Fine. And don't call me Jackie. Although, could you give me a uniform that FITS? This thing is 2 sizes too small!" I look at the girl, and she's right. The uniform is hugging her hips WAY too much, the skirt is, what, two inches too short(?), and the blazer is squishing her, well, you knows, together, in what appears to be a really uncomfortable way. Milly shook her head, grinning like the Cheshire Cat.

"But if I did that, I wouldn't be able to see your beautiful assets." Then she does the 'Milly grope' thing, and promptly gets shoved of by 'Jackie'. "Besides, at least I didn't get Suzaku's help! I could have had him restrain you as I stripped you down to nothing but your socks" She says with a smirk. In turn, I blush and the girl's attention is brought to Lelouch and I. Her eyes widen (from horror?). I think she recognizes me from our class, but her eyes aren't focused on me. She's staring at Lelouch with narrowed eyes and he stares right back. Suddenly, she spins around to face Milly (giving us a "great peek underneath" as Rivalz puts it) and she slumps. This girl tilts her head to the side and gives an exasperated sigh, running her hand through her hair.

"Can I go now?" she asks. Milly nods, then dismisses us all, since that was the 'emergency'. I turn to Lelouch, but he's gone. "Where did he...?"

Jacqueline POV

I hear footsteps, graceful and well balanced. "What brings you to the roof?" I ask.

"A signal. You?" A small smile graces my face, but it's bitter and cold. So he remembers the signal. i would've thought he forgot abour running a hand through our hair.

"The view." I turn and face him. "Hello, Lelouch. It's been a while." He sees my smile and cringes. "Never thought I'd have a run in with a ghost. Milly did imply my room was haunted. Who would've guessed my ghost would be a dead prince." Lelouch reigns in his emotions and looks back at me with a placid expression.

"Who would've indeed. Chess?" he asks, gesturing to the travel chess set in his hands. I nod, then take my blazer off. It's too small, constricting my shoulders and making it harder to breathe. Lelouch follows suit, getting comfortable. We begin to play, and everything I can't put into words comes out on the board. I'm trying to destroy him, take everything away from him. He is letting me, or so it seems. I calm down halfway through the match and it continues. The constant back and forth, advantages lost and gained once more. Finally, we come to the agreement to call it a draw. I have gotten better.

"So, Jacqueline Creed is it? what happened to Medina?" He seems to truly desire the answer, so I give it to him.

I am the daughter of the former Prime Minister of the Philippines, now Area 14, although he knows both of these facts. After he was exiled and supposed dead, I returned to my homeland. There, I was constantly hated, beat, yelled at. I was the half-Britannian bastard-child. They said my mother could never truly love a Brit, so they decided she was raped by him, my father, Tobias Creed. My mother did love him, but he did not love her back, so it seemed. When he left, why he stayed so long I'll never understand, I was 15, and my mother was devastated. She killed herself in a way to save her from her grief. Once she did, any sort of false liking anyone gave me was gone. I had to leave the Philippines and live with my father. As a 'fuck you' I took all the furniture my mother loved most from our house on the islands. Once in Britannia, I was no longer a Medina. I was a Creed. Then my father thought it'd be great to move to Japan two years later and here I am.

"What about you, Lulu-ko?" I inquire, allowing the nickname I used to call him to come out as well. By adding 'ko' to the end, I claim him as mine, since in Tagalog 'ko' means my.

He explains all about his life in Japan, how the Kururugis took care of him, and his life at Ashford. As he talked, a voice in my head nagged me.

This is the same Britannian prince that threw you away. Why so comfy-cozy with him all of the sudden, huh?

Why was I so open with him, trusting him again? Before I could ponder any further, Lelouch suddenly asks me this:

"Wait, Luluko? Are you calling me a girl, Lin?" He glared at me, apparently have forgotten his nickname.

"Nope. Remember, 'ko' in Tagalog is different from Japanese. For me, 'ko' means 'my', so I was calling you 'My Lulu." He smiles and we sit there, just smiling, when the door bursts open and Milly, Shirley, Rivalz, and Suzaku fall on the floor in a heap.

"Man! We missed most of the conversation! All we got was Lelouch talking about Ashford, then them talking about nicknames! And 'My Lulu'? Hmmmm..." We both stare at Milly as she practically yells this from under the pile of people. Rivalz looks at the two of us, chessboard between us, faces closer, bright red. my yellow blazer (damn you, Milly) is off and my skirt is hiked up impossible high, since I was sitting with my legs criss-crossed. Lelouch had the jacket of his uniform of as well and his hair was a mess since he was constantly running a hand through it during our match.

"Lelouch! Were you about to get some action? Sorry about this, man!" If possible, our faces glow even brighter and Shirley blushes for an odd reason. Click. Milly, somehow successfully getting out from under the mess, takes a picture of the position Lelouch and I are in, and squeals.

"I have blackmail material! YES!"

Lelouch and I look at each other. "Shit." We say. Then I grab his hand and sprint, half-dragging him away as he struggles to keep up.

"WAIT! I NEED MORE PICTURES!" Milly yells. Behind me, Lelouch is gasping for breath. Same old Lulu. I stop running to allow him to catch his breath.

"Follow me," He says. "There's someone else who might want to be reacquainted with you once more, Lin."

"Sure, Lulu-ko, lead the way."

A.N. Ahaha, I'm sorry, i just had to do a crazy Milly chapter. Besides, now you know a chunk of back-story, Most of you can probably guess who Lin is going to re-meet. I hope. It's painfully obvious.

I do apologize if they characters are OOC. Still, this is a slightly AU, so what do you expect?
