Code Light Chapter 6:A Botched Chapter So I can Get Back into the Flow of Writing, so excuse it for being Really Awkward at the End; Also Excuse this Stupidly long Title with Wild Capitalization.

"So Suzaku, have you seen Light lately?" Lelouch asked as he handed Suzaku the lunch Sayoko had given him.

"No, actually, I haven't. It's odd because he doesn't really seem to be the type to miss school. You don't suppose he's..."

"No." Lelouch shook his head "He's known for a while now and I don't believe he would do so, especially now that we know he knows." They continued to walk across school grounds and Suzaku noticed a group of students staring at them from the corner of his eye.

"I think I should go now." Suzaku started to turn away. Maybe we can talk later." Lelouch just nodded and kept his head down as he walked away. Albeit the complete lack of evidence, he was convinced that Light was Kira. But before he could approach Kira to use him, he needed to learn the source of his power. Knowing Kira's limitations would make it far easier to manipulate him and deployed him effectively. C.C. said she did not know what his geass could be, so he would have to find it out through rigorous research. First he would need to dig deeper into Light's past, which was easy to pull up at the library, even though he had less than an hour of lunch left to work with. Strangely enough, there was nothing in his past that would suggest contact with someone who could distribute geass. Before his arrival at Ashford, no strange events or occurrences surrounded him. His only ambition seemed to be intellectual rigor. A dead end, Light seemed to have gained his power without reason. Setting aside how the geass was acquired Lelouch tried to find limits, but he couldn't. There seemed to be no limit to range, at will it seemed Light could kill with a heart attack. The only conceivable limitation is that deaths happened on the hour, every hour. Could it be he was unable to de-activate his geass or was he simply taxing it to its once per hour limit? However C.C. mentioned that the geass manifested in line with an individuals desires, so what did Light want to gain an ability that outright killed people? Granted, all that died as of this moment were criminals, but gradually the severity of their crimes had been decreasing and once the criminals eventually ran out? Then Lelouch thought about it and found it ridiculous because at only one an hour, there were easily more than enough criminals for the rest of Light's life. So Lelouch's worries of Light's power racking the citizenry were unneeded and Nunnally would be safe from random slayings. However he would need to take care that he did not appear to seem criminal to Light, lest the geass take his life. So his entire speculations of the power would change depending on Light's inner personality. The problem would be finding those inner motives, for it seemed that Light constantly wore his mask and had no true associates to probe for information meaning he would have to collect it personally.

Lelouch sighed as his gaze wandered around the silent library. Most of the diligent students that spended their time studying to become perfect cogs in the machine, except for one odd shoe-less student he couldn't recognize because their face was obscured by a mountain of books. He would probably end up less than perfect. So carefree they must be, content to sit atop the social ladder with no greater ambitions content to lead ambition-less lives. Perhaps not ambition-less, just unable to see the grander scheme of things. He quickly made his way past them to class to continue his ponder there. As he passed back across the open courtyard, Lelouch watched the eyes of the judgmental watching him. Every day there seemed to be more who watched him with contempt, shortsighted fools who basked in conflict as long as they emerged triumphant. He wondered what Light's stake in all this was if he was Kira, were his intentions noble? Lelouch himself only did this for Nunnally, nothing more noble than a familial tie. He really needed to try to keep his mind off of Light for now. Perhaps he would be able to dive back into schoolwork to his pre-geass state.

Once Lelouch emptied his mind the day went swiftly. The day breezed by, taking only a modicum of his intellect to accomplish the school tasks. C.C. waited for him as he returned after school.

"Having a good day, are we?"

"Hm?" Lelouch hardly registered the snide tone.

"Why are you in such a daze? We do have things to do you know. Are you not the one who plans to overthrow the Brittanian Empire? Have you found any more information on Light?" As she heckled him, Lelouch regained ground in the conversation.

"There is nothing on him. He is perfectly perfect. Excellent grades, no trauma in his childhood, nothing out of the ordinary has happened to him. The only thing I managed to find out about was the fact that the deaths always occur every hour on the hour. The fact that every victim is also is a criminal we already knew."

"Essentially you found nothing on him."

"There is nothing to find out about him! He is the most generic person who could ever exist! This should be impossible for someone who does so much to leave so little trace."

"So you did not find where he went today?"

"No I did not." Lelouch fumed. He knew she knew something and just enjoyed toying with him. He tried calming himself.

"You did not bother ask his family where he went?" Lelouch went silent. She already asked one of his family, so it didn't really matter if he disagreed. However he couldn't let her get off scot free though.

"That could have ended badly. The government is likely still searching for you."

"I can take care of myself Lelouch." There was a moment of silence before C.C. realized she wasn't getting any more out of him. "His sister Sayu informed me that she saw a book on mythology. From there I can only infer that he is going to a small town near Stonehenge."

"What reason could he have for visiting the origin of sakuridite?"

"Isn't it obvious Lelouch? He isn't visiting the birthplace of sakuridite, he's visiting the birthplace of Geass."

Lelouch looked over his Zero attire. He couldn't very well follow Light without raising suspicion and there was a lull in Brittanian countermeasures. Nunnally passed by his open door and Lelouch kicked himself for being grateful she was blind.

"Yes Nunnally?" He asked and stood up leaving behind his guise.

"The tea is ready, are you coming?"

"Of course, I just got a little caught up in my thoughts." Lelouch set down the mask on top of the case and walked over to her side. "Let's go." As he slid the door closed behind him a black cat sped out of his room wearing the mask. He almost walked off with Nunnally and did a double take before momentarily freezing up.

"Gah!" He gasped and took off in a pathetic sprint after the cat "Hold on Nunnally, I'll be right back!"
