A/N: Okie dokie! Chapter 3 here I come!

"This is ridiculous! Suzaku I order you to fight!"

Euphemia's words rang out through the clearing. Usagi turned to see Suzaku slip out of Kallen's grasp and attempt to fight her, Lelouch (as Zero) letting go of Euphie and making a swipe at Suzaku. Usagi tried to yell at them, to tell them to stop fighting and to tell her what was going on, but no sound came out. Her eyes widened at her brother's words, watching Suzaku freeze in his tracks as Lelouch started to yell at Suzaku.

"Why do you defend her? She's not the princess you wanted to be with so why choose to be her knight?" Lelouch fumed. Suzaku's green eyes widened in horror as Lelouch's words hit him like a ton of bricks. Usagi felt the tears well up in her eyes once again as she ran to her brother's side, grabbing his arm and begging him to stop. Lelouch's mask turned to face her, the material melting away as the scene faded, the boy glaring at his sister. "Why do you always defend him? Especially when he's done something to hurt you?"

Usagi sniffed at her brother's question, looking up at him as the image of Suzaku remained. Kallen, Euphemia and the rest of the scene faded, but Suzaku stood frozen in place, that look that closely resembled a puppy that had been kicked clear across the room still prominent on his handsome features. "Because, I love him…"

"You're hopeless" Lelouch sighed, his image fading along with Suzaku's as Usagi was now alone, in the dark. She sighed, rubbing her temples and wrapping her arms around herself. She really hoped that this wouldn't happen… Maybe her Geass was wrong. If she was lucky.

Usagi awoke with a start. The girl rubbing her forehead and sighing as she felt the sun hit her eyes. She groaned as she threw herself back under the covers to hide from the sun. She'd missed school. Again. But did she care? Nope. Not even a little bit. The doors to her room opening as someone ran in.

"Go away Rolo, I'm not in the mood."

"It's not Rolo."

Usagi shot up at her brother's words and narrowed her eyes at him. Something was wrong. Lelouch looked flustered and upset. "What's wrong?"

"Mao took Nunnally."

Usagi's eyes widened in horror as she threw the covers off, grabbing a robe and pulling it on over her pajamas "I'll look around the school more, you go look around the grounds."

"But I already looked through the school!"

"Lelouch, even you know that sometimes you overlook things that are right in front of your face. That's why I'm here, I double check for you."

"Good point… I have my cell if you need me," he answered, turning to run back out of the room when Usagi grabbed his arm, Lelouch turning to face his twin.

"If Nunnally's been kidnapped, then where is Rolo?" she asked, her hand shaking.

Lelouch sighed, holding his sister's hand in his to calm her. "He's fine, he's with Sayoko."

Usagi breathed out in relief, patting her brother's hand and allowing him to run ahead of her. She blew her hangs out of her face, pulling her robe closer to her and running out of the room towards the school.

Screaming. Constant screaming. A scream of agony and fear, of something dear to you being lost. No. It couldn't have. Mao couldn't have hurt Nunnally, could he? Usagi ran towards the chapel, following her brother's scream and the laughter that followed. Her eyes widened as she saw the broken window of the chapel, raising an eyebrow as she looked in through the broken glass.

"You think you've beat me, huh?" Mao demanded, sounding hysterical. Suzaku grabbed his arm and told him to stop it, none of the teenagers expecting the next thing that came out of Mao's mouth.

"Get your hands off of me, father-killer!"

Usagi's hands flew to her mouth as she watched Suzaku freeze, starting to sputter in shock.

"You killed your father seven years ago. Heh. He called for do-or-die resistance, and you thought stopping him would end the war. What a childish idea. The fact is, you're a murderer!"

"That's not true! I just- I—"

"How lucky for you that no one ever found out. All the adults lied to protect you."

"But all the reports said his suicide was a protest against the military actions," Lelouch murmured, just as shocked as Suzaku was.

"A big, fat lie, all of it!" Mao screeched.

Usagi held her head as the pain started to get unbearable. She was there that day. She saw everything. It was after Lelouch and Nunnally had been relocated, Usagi and Rolo were still staying at the Kururugi household.

"You want to save people's lives? It's your own wretched soul you're trying to save! That's why you're always charging into danger, placing yourself on the edge of death!"

Usagi snapped out of her thoughts as Suzaku fell to the floor, wailing in anguish as Mao stood over him, a crazy look in his eye.

"You're no hero! You're just trying to wash the blood off your hands! A little brat begging to be punished!"

"MAO!" Usagi screeched, crashing through the window and grabbing the man by the neck, standing between him and Suzaku as Mao gasped for air, smirking at her.

"And you're no better than this brat!" he choked out, causing Usagi to growl and squeeze harder. "You allowed this to happen! And afterwards you comforted him? What kind of person condones a child murdering his own father?"

"MAO! NEVER SPEAK AGAIN!" Lelouch roared, his Geass activating and Usagi dropped the man to the floor once the command was processed by Mao and he started choking. The man ran towards the door as C2 appeared and she killed him once he got outside.

Usagi stood there, her back to her brother and a now crying Suzaku.

"I just… I just…" Suzaku choked; his body shaking as he stared at the ground. Usagi turned to face him at his words and kneeled down to his level. The girl took his face in her hands and stroked his cheeks, drying the tears that had fallen from his eyes.

"I know, Suzaku. I know…" she murmured, leaning her forehead against his as she felt his hands wrap around hers. She continued to wipe away the new tears that she felt fall from his eyes and allowed him to cry for a few moments. "I was there, I know…"

Suzaku shivered as he felt the memories of that night come back to him. He gave her hands a squeeze and watched her closely "Tell me…"

She sighed, moving a strand of hair from his eyes and looking back at him "Lelouch had left already, Nunnally too. Rolo was in bed and I left to go visit you like I usually did…Your window was open and I went in like I did every night, and you weren't there… I assumed you would be right back and I sat on your bed to wait…"

Usagi sat on the bed, quickly getting bored as a ten-year-old usually did when left to sit alone for a few minutes and she left the room, tip-toeing down the hall. She assumed Mr. Kururugi was asleep or working, which he usually was when she visited Suzaku, but he wasn't in his office or his bedroom when she walked by. She raised an eyebrow and was about to go back to Suzaku's room when she heard Suzaku cry out from downstairs, as if someone had struck him.

The girl padded down the stairs just in time to see Suzaku fall to the ground, clutching his cheek and staring up at his father with those big green eyes.

"You don't understand anything Suzaku! I run this country the way I want to! If I want to rebel then I'll do as I see fit!"Genbu Kuurugi roared, standing over his son.

Usagi gasped from her spot behind the door and watched as Suzaku finally snapped and killed his father. Once the boy had done the deed, she ran upstairs, out the window and around the front of the house. She knew the boy's father screaming would cause his advisors to appear, and she was right. She let herself in through the front door and found her way back to the room where Suzaku was and hugged him tight, stroking his hair as Suzaku buried his face in her shoulder and the adults conversed on how they would handle this.

Usagi held Suzaku close as she relayed the story to him. It was mostly directed toward her twin, who was staring at her with a horrified expression. She glared at the boy as Suzaku clung to her, his face buried in her shoulder as he felt his suppressed memories of the incident come back to him. Usagi sighed, pulling Suzaku close as she stroked his hair, whispering to him about how it would be alright.

"It's not going to be alright! Don't you understand? I killed my father! I'm a horrible person! I-!"

Lips connecting with Suzaku's own immediately shut him up as he blinked, but kissed her back. The girl pulled back and poked his forehead, a completely serious expression upon her pretty face. "Don't you ever say that again. You're not a murderer, you were a child put into a difficult spot and you defended your country. Understand?"

Suzaku stared at her, dumbfounded, as she stood up and held a hand out to him.

"Let's go, Green Eyes," she commented, giving him a slight smirk to try and lighten the mood. Suzaku smiled, taking her hand and allowing her to pull him up. Usagi smiled lightly, taking Suzaku's hand and leading him to Lelouch, whose hand she took in her free one, and walked out of the chapel. Hopefully the images she'd seen in her vision that her Geass had formed wouldn't happen. She couldn't bear to see her twin and Suzaku fight, especially when it involved her.

A/N: Whooooooo! Yay! Now time for some action/drama!
