L.K.: I'm sooooo sorry about butchering the last chapter T.T I had posted it without spell checking it on accident….For anyone wondering with it was so dang short is because of suspense purposes. I wanted to cut that chapter off with that dramatic line, but I couldn't fit much more in before it. So here's a super long chappie for you to enjoy! (Oh and remember that's it's early in the morning in this scene!) (Also later in the chapter, when rehearsing/filming for a play, they don't go in a straight line form beginning to end. They usually do the major scenes first and then the smaller scenes. So Kallen goes from putting the shoe on in chapter 5 to scrubbing the floor in chapter 7 .)

Welcome Home!

"…quit the Black Knights."

Kallen's guard had been completely let down, was she hearing him right? Was Zero really asking her to leave? She sat there silently as though she had just been given a death sentence. Why was this happening to her, and why now of all times? Didn't Zero just say he loves her? Why would a man that loves her so much make her go to another man? Was Zero alright? Was he on drugs, or was this even Zero altogether?

Kallen was at a loss for words, her voice had left her and her hands began to shake.

"I know you're a great assessment to our team, and you're the only one who can pilot the Guren. But I'd rather see you live a normal and happy life rather than die in combat or be caught by the military." He told her as he picked up the pink wrapping paper that had fallen to the floor.

"NO!!" she hitched her voice in a loud and cracking manner. "I won't leave! I have a reason for fighting beyond my life!" she stood up angrily. "You can't stop me from being here! I refuse to give in because my life is at stake! It's been that way from the beginning and it hasn't changed just because you love me!" she sneered.

Zero did a double take, she was mad? 'Well this isn't what I imagined would happen…But she does have a point. She did join being well aware of the risks and they really haven't changed since she's been here.'

"I understand that. But I'm afraid you're far too important to me to lose you. The Emperor has returned and the Black Knights are in a lot of danger at the moment. I want you to get out before it's too late." He said in a much gentler voice this time.

"But I came here well prepared to lose my life!" she retorted and flung her arms out wide.

"Do it because I love you Kallen. Please put my heart at ease that you are safe." Zero clutched his chest in an almost dramatic way. "I've never been in love before, and I don't want it to be with a girl who I ended being her cause of death. I don't want this to end badly for you, I want you to remain as you are today." He spoke as he took a step towards her.

"Why….why can't I stay? This where I belong! I belong on the battlefield, not in a ballroom!" Kallen's red hair was tossed around as she shook her head madly.

"Give me your uniform. It'll be dangerous to keep it at home any longer." He demanded with an extended arm.

Kallen fell to the floor defeated. She took off her uniform in front of Zero and changed back into her normal cloths she had in her bag. Unwillingly she handed Zero the clothing.

"Thank you Kallen, now please leave this place. The other Black Knights can fight in your place." He said as he picked up the stuffed dolls and handed them to her.

'So that's it huh? My dreams are all over and I've just been dumped….' She thought as if the world would end. She meekly took the dolls and snuggled them. 'So the dolls were a parting gift….'

"C-can I come see you again sometime?" she asked with a shaky voice.

"Maybe, I'll call you and tell you when it's safe." He said as he opened the door for her.

Kallen hesitated to move, but then she got an idea. She turned around so Zero couldn't see and reached inside of her purse. She pulled out a tube of pink lipstick and put some on. Once she turned back around, she advanced towards Zero.

Zero noticed the pink color on her lips and tilted his head to the side. Kallen smiled as she stood on her tip toes to give his mask a kiss. Leaving a bright pink mark on the glass she giggled.

'A parting gift…'

"You know, you look so adorable, just like the plushies, when you lean your head like that!" she said with teary eyes. Soon she had left the room and the hideout entirely, leaving Lelouch to himself.

Lelouch's eyes began to water, feeling a pang of guilt stab at his chest. 'When I lean my head…?' he thought as he pulled off his helmet. Upon inspecting it he saw the pink kiss mark on the front of the mask. Tears slid down his cheeks.

"C.C., did I do the right thing?" he asked the seemingly empty room.

"No." came the girl's voice as she stepped out of the curtained off closet. "She's safe now, just like you wanted." She finished.

Lelouch lifted the helmet up to his face and kissed over Kallen's lipstick mark. "Now it looks like you're wearing pink lipstick." C.C. said as she smiled lightly.

XxXxX

Kallen walked home alone, she didn't want to ride the bus any more. She tried silencing her tears, but the sunrise kept reminding her about what the future would hold for her. A life of solitude in heels and pearls. Lelouch was a high class man and was fairly rich. Zero was a hero with honor and pride. The two were just too opposite to both attract her, yet they did.

'Zero…Lelouch…I love you both…' she thought as she stared ahead at the rising sun. Zero had made her realize her true feelings. She hoped that now knowing that she Loved Lelouch would make it easier to marry him.

Returning home and changing into her school uniform, she set the Zero and Kallen kissing plushies on the shelf next to the ones holding hands. She brushed her hair and wiped away the tears as she grabbed her school bag.

She left her house and headed for the bus stop. Since Kallen didn't drive she had to take a public bus everywhere. 'Maybe I should ask Lelouch to teach me how to drive a motorcycle..'

When the bus arrived, Kallen got on board and sat in the very back. After only a couple of minutes on the bus, her stomach began to growl loudly. 'Damn! I forgot to eat breakfast again!' she mentally slapped herself.

"Could you stop here please?" Kallen requested as she saw the café that her and Lelouch ate at once.

After she got off the bus she ran inside the café and sat down. She picked up the menu and ordered a coffee and breakfast dish. While waiting for her food, she sipped on her coffee and looked around. She caught a man staring at her across the room. She waved to him just to see if he was really looking at her or just staring into space.

As soon as he waved back with a smile, she realized that she knew him. He wore a neighboring school's uniform and had messy black hair. She remembered him as the guy who used to sit in between Shirley and herself before he transferred schools. He stood up from his chair and walked over to her table. "Good morning Kallen, it's been a while hasn't it?" he asked slyly as he tilted his head in the very slightest. Kallen immediately picked up on this twitch and bit her lip.

'Zero…could this be you at long last? You said I knew you and that we weren't on good terms…and this guy certainly looks young enough to be him!'

"You alright Kallen? I know you're usually sick, but does it always make you look mad?" he asked as gave her a cocky grin.

"N-no! I'll have you know I'm not sick anymore!" she hissed at his insult.

'Shit! If it really is him then I can't just be rude to him!'

"Oh I'm sorry about that, I'm just so hungry that I'm cranky. I'm sorry Kouji." She whispered softly out of embarrassment.

"Ah! I see as though you remembered my name!" he said as his grin grew in size.

"Yes, how could I forget?" with an equally sly grin.

Kouji told the waitress to bring his food over to this table and the two ate together.

'Zero…if this is really you…then I'll stick close to you until I can figure it out. If I could just get him to say something that only Zero would know…no, that'll never work. Zero's too smart to get caught in that kind of situation. Damn!' she cursed madly in her mind.

When they were done eating, Kouji forced her to allow him to pay the fee for them both. After giving in, his only request was her cell phone number. She gave it to him and he gave her his.

"I'll call you after school!" he said perkily and left the café.

Kallen got up and made her way to the bus stop again. It seemed as though she was going to be late again today.

XxXxX

Once at school, Kallen took her usual seat next to Shirley. Deciding that the gap was pointless, she took Kouji's old seat. The teacher gave them a long homework assignment and the whole class complained.

'That's the last thing I need…homework.'

"Psst. Hey Kallen!" Shirley whispered.

"What?"

"Is it true? Please tell me it's not!" Shirley asked with a saddened look.

"Tell you what?"

"Are you really engaged to Lulu?" she pleaded. Kallen sighed, this wasn't her favorite topic.

"Yes…it is." She grumbled.

Shirley spent the rest of the class time nagging Kallen about details and just what all she and Lelouch had done so far. She was beginning to get on Kallen's nerves.

As the day went on, Kallen had gotten many girls running up to her and asking her questions. It seems as though Shirley had loose lips. By the end of the day Kallen was ready to go home, take a hot bath and go to sleep.

"Kallen where are you going?" Lelouch asked.

"Home." She stated flatly.

"But we've got play rehearsals." He said as he pointed towards the play room.

"Oh yeah, I forgot." She said. They walked together to the Student Council room and quickly got dressed.

"On stage people! We don't have all day now!" Milly shouted with great energy.

'God…how can she still be so lively after school like that?'

Kallen took her place on stage and started to pretend to scrub the floors. "Woe is me…" she moaned fakely.

"Cinderella! My dress is dirty!" Shirley pouted.

"C-cinderella…I'm hungry.." Nina said shyly.

'God..why did Milly pick me for this job!?' Kallen thought with a scowl.

"No no, Cinderella always looks nice, she doesn't look mad!" Milly scolded.

Kallen took a deep breath and slowly let it out, she was tired and in no mood to argue. Taking her position back up, Kallen mumbled incoherently as Lelouch approached her. "Lulu get off stage, it's not your turn!" Milly yelled as she grabbed his arm.

"I was just worried about Kallen, she doesn't look so good. You know how she can get sick so randomly." Lelouch said as he kneeled down where Kallen was sitting on the floor. Lelouch put a hand up to Kallen's forehead and gasped.

"Kallen you have a fever!" he said as Kallen pushed his hand away.

"I'm fine, I just feel tired." She sneered as she picked up the scrub brush again.

After completing the scene, Kallen's feet and head ached. At this point all she wanted was to go to sleep, screw the shower. As they switched scenes, Lelouch took to the spot light.

"I am looking for my Queen, a one of a kind woman. I wish her to have hair…Uh Milly…Kallen has red hair…not 'hair spun of gold'." He said as he looked as the script.

"Then change it!" she bellowed into the mic.

Lelouch sighed, he didn't know what to do. He wasn't very good with words, according to Kallen anyways.

"..How's about hair made of fire like her fighting spirit?" he asked but quickly slapped his hand over his mouth. Uh oh…

'Shit! No one knows about me and Kallen! Surely Milly and the others won't notice but I know Kallen will!'

"What….?" Kallen looked over at him.

"Just kidding!" Lelouch prayed that Kallen would accept this as a joke.

"Lelouch, you suck at poetry!" Kallen huffed and crossed her arms.

"Kallen…" he breathed out as if her comment had deeply hurt him.

"You also suck at jokes!" she turned her head, refusing to look at him.

'I wonder if I should call her on her Zero doll fetish…' he thought as he gave her a harsh stare.

XxXxX

After rehearsals, Kallen was too tired to ride the bus home and could not walk much further. Lelouch noticed her tired demeanor and wondered what was wrong with her.

"Kallen are you…alright?" Lelouch asked for what seemed the hundredth time.

"Yes, I'm just tired…" she moaned as she struggled to walkout of the school.

"Are you sure can walk?" he asked as he put a hand on her shoulder.

"No…" she admitted in defeat.

"Well I live at the school, so you stay in my room for a while." He offered with a smile.

"Okay…thank you." She said.

Lelouch allowed Kallen to sleep in his bed while he sat at his desk across the room. He had started on his homework early since he couldn't just sleep next to her. He occasionally stole a glance at her and caught her smiling.

'I wonder what she's dreaming about. Maybe it's about me or Zero.'

He stood up from his swivel chair and walked over to her. He kneeled down beside the bed and folded his arms under his chin to watch her closely. She smiled with the occasional giggle and mumble. When she turned her head away from his point of view he had to stand in order to see the emotions across her features.

"Z-zero…zzz…." Kallen mumbled as she turned back to her original position. Lelouch smirked, she was dreaming about Zero. Little did he know, she did this often.

'I wonder what she'd do if she woke up and I was cuddled up to her…'

Lelouch decided that instead of cuddling with her, that he'd sit next to her as he did his homework. As he had finished only a third of his homework, his back began to ache. So he opted for a better position and laid flat on his back with his papers propped up against his stomach. Kallen shifted again, but this time so that her head was resting on his shoulder.

"Zero…Sama…" she whispered out from her dreams.

'I wonder what kind of dream she's having about me…'

"Who…are…….you….?" she continued.

'Is she seriously talking this much in her sleep?' he thought suspiciously as he quirked his brow at her.

Kallen put her arm around his waist and snuggled closer. "Zero…"

'She must take Ambien….' He thought as he pushed his homework to the side and put an arm around her.

'I'm pretty sure she's gonna be pissed when she wakes up but I'm too tired to care now.' He thought with a yawn.

He slinked under the covers with her and he drifted off to sleep with her cuddling up to his chest.

XxXxX

(((*Ambien is a sleep aid pill, but it has some nasty side effects such as sleep driving, walking and talking. I knew someone who used took it, they constantly talked in their sleep…they even screamed before! It also increases gambling urges…Maybe Lelouch takes it too! .)))

XxXxX

It was bright and early morning when Kallen woke up. She laid there unwilling to get up, she was far too comfortable. After a couple minutes of just relaxing, she noticed something was off. Moving her hand around, she realized that she wasn't laying on a pillow….

She jumped up startled and tried to identify the person molded to her body.

'Oh stupid me, it's just Lelouch…LELOUCH!?'

She was seething with anger at this point, she wanted to kill Lelouch. How dare he think he can just sleep next to her!

"Lelouch Lamprouge!!" she yelled as she placed her hands around his neck and squeezed. Lelouch's eyes flew open.

'Am I being attacked!? Is it a Brittanian soldier or an assassin?' was his first thought.

Lelouch got his answer when he looked at the dame sitting on his chest with a fire from hell burning in her eyes.

"Die Lulu!!" she screeched in pure anger.

'Worse…it's Kallen!' were, what he thought was, his last thoughts. Kallen let go of his neck with one hand and pulled back. She punched Lelouch as hard as she could, and for Kallen's that's pretty strong, right in the left eye.

"Ow!" he yelped as he pushed her away and held his eye.

"I'm gonna kill you!" she sneered as she tried to tackle him but he jumped off the bed. He stood and shook in fear in front of the door as she charged at him again.

"Come here Lelouch! Death only hurts for a second!" she yelled as he dodged her yet again. Instead of him, her foot collided with his door and left a hole.

"M-my door!" he said as he tried to open his eye. "Kallen calm down I ca-"

Kallen came at him again and wound up punching a hole in the wall this time. "Stop moving! It makes it harder to kill you!" she hissed as she tried to air kick him. This time Lelouch's body, being how inactive he usually is, failed him and he tripped. This sent Kallen toppling over him instead of hitting him.

She sat on his back while he laid belly down on the floor. She grabbed his arms and pulled them behind his back. "What were you thinking, trying to sleep with me like that!?" she asked as she bent his arms the wrong way harshly.

"Augh! Kallen please stop!" he begged her as he felt tears from the pain sting his eyes.

"Die and I'll stop!" she roared. Flipping him over so that he was on his back, she held his chest down with one knee and pinned his arms above his head. With her free hand she slapped him.

"Why did you get in the bed?" she demanded. Her anger began to dissipate when a horrible knot welled up in her stomach.

"Because I was tired and I mean this is my be- Hey are you alright?" he asked as he noticed her face twisting in pain. Kallen jumped up and ran to the bathroom.

After a few minutes she came back out and the maid had already patched Lelouch's eye up. "Kallen! Are you okay?" he asked with great concern evident in his voice.

"Yeah..I must've eaten something bad…" she panted.

"Oh, did you throw up?" he asked.

"Nope, other end." She stated flatly, even though it was none of his business.

"Oh..well….Uhh..I hope you feel better soon. Do you want to go to the doctor?" he sputtered quickly.

"No, it's okay. I probably just ate something that was passed its expiration date." She said as she sat down on the bed. Lelouch sat down next to her.

"Well?" she asked as she turned to face him with a death glare.

"I'm sorry…it was just so late and I had nowhere else to sleep." He sighed, that was a lie. He really did just want to cuddle with her and he knew it.

"Why not the couch like last time I was here?" she asked quirking her brow.

Lelouch sighed, she was a professional at making him feel cornered. "If I told you I was just being a pervert would you stop asking questions?" he asked as he lowered his head. Kallen proceeded to punch his right eye as well.

XxXxX

During school, Kallen had to frequently go to the bathroom. 'Damnit, I guess I am sick…' she thought as she came back into the classroom. It was already the last class of the day and only two weeks away from graduation, not to mention the wedding.

"Oh Lelouch! Why are your eyes black?" Shirley asked as she came over to him. Shirley had been absent from school today because she was out of town, but she was back in time for rehearsals.

"Oh these? Kallen gave me what I had coming…" he smiled cheekily. "Why?" Shirley asked as she inspected his eyes closer. Kallen was a good puncher! Who would've thought that the sick and shy Kallen could do this kind of damage?

"I…We had a fight. It's alright, it was my fault." He admitted.

"Well, let's just get to the council room, Milly is waiting for us." She said as she grabbed his hand and dragged him off to the Student Council room.

Once everyone was there, they got dressed. "Alright people! Today marks our last week to rehearse! In one week from today the play goes live!" Milly announced happily.

Kallen came on stage and took her position. Lelouch took his position on the fake throne in front of her and they both started spewing out crumby after cliché lines at each other.

Lelouch approached Kallen as she sat on a stool. Putting the cheap plastic shoe on Kallen's foot, Lelouch declared her his Queen.

"Oh Cinderella, how I've found you at long last! Will you be my Queen?" he asked with pride and joy.

"Yes my Prince Charming!" she exclaimed with a bright smile. Although on the inside she wanted to scream 'no' just to be a bitch.

Rehearsals dragged on, and Kallen began to feel worse and worse. "Prez, can we please stop for the day? I need to go to the doctor, I don't feel so good." Kallen groaned as she clutched her aching stomach.

"Of course!" Milly called it quits and Lelouch drove Kallen to the doctor.

XxXxX

Once at the doctor's office, Lelouch stayed out in the waiting room while they checked Kallen out.

"Okay Kallen, just sit on the table there and we'll take a look." The woman doctor said as she grabbed her equipment. Kallen shuddered, she hated the doctor's office. The smell made her skin crawl, the solid white walls made her eyes water and the tongue depressors made her gag.

After checking Kallen out and listening to her description of problems, the doctor grabbed a needle.

"It sounds to me like you have the flu. But in order to give you a full prescription of the proper medicine we need a blood sample. Some flues can get serious and that's why they require better medicine and a blood sample. But while we wait I can give you a normal antibiotic." The doctor informed her as Kallen allowed her to draw her blood.

"So when will I get the results back?" Kallen asked as she held the spot where the needle had pierced her skin.

"In about a week, maybe less depending on how busy the office is." She said as he wrote Kallen a prescription note for the medicine. Kallen took it and was out of the office in no time.

As Lelouch and Kallen mounted the motorcycle, they took off in the direction of the pharmacy.

"So what did you say that the doctor told you that you had again?" he asked as he stopped at a stop light.

"The flu, she even took a blood sample because she thought it sounded like a really bad flu." She told him as the light turned green again.

"You sure do get sick a lot." He teased.

"Y-yeah." Kallen knew full well that this was the first time in about ten years that she had been this sick.

"Didn't you tell me that you aren't really sick?" he asked, already knowing that her next answer was likely to be a lie. Kallen froze, how does she get out of this one?

"Uh..Yeah. I was just mad is all…" she said with a blush.

XxXxX

After they picked up her medicine, Lelouch and Kallen went to her house for a change. Lelouch sat on her bed while she was in the bathroom taking her first antibiotic pill. He looked around her room, the walls were bright, eye blinding, pink, the shelves were loaded with stuffed animals and Zero dolls and her covers were pink with flowers. 'Who'd of thought she was so..girly?' he thought as he was sure to go blind from all the pink.

"Hey Kallen, I really am sorry about this morning." He let out with a sigh, trying to take his focus off of the mind blowing color.

"It's okay…I'm just going through some things myself…it's just that this whole marriage thing is starting to get to me. I'm so stressed out lately." She forgave him as she came out of the bathroom with her glass of water.

"Tomorrow I think we should tell the Student Council members that we're getting married in two wee-OH MY GOD!! We haven't planned a thing for our wedding!!" Kallen jumped up in horror.

"I don't think that we're the ones who get to plan it." Lelouch said as he put his hand to his chin.

"Why not? It's our wedding!" she complained as she put her hands on her hips.

"Well we could always just ask if we could." He suggested.

Lelouch flipped open his cell phone and dialed the Ashford main house. After talking to the man in charge, he hung up.

"He says that as long as we stay within the budget, we can plan it ourselves!" he said as he smiled at her.

"Well at least that's something good." She said in relief.

"So what's the plan?" he asked as she took a seat next to him.

"I think we should hire a wedding planner." He said as he popped his neck.

"Ow! I think you did a little more than give me a black eye!" he hissed in pain.

"I'm sorry." She said nervously, maybe she went a bit over board.

"It's alright. Hey, I need to go home. I'll see you later." He said as he stood up.

"Okay. Hey Lelouch…" she said before he walked out of the door.

"Yeah?" he paused.

"Will you..call me tonight?" she asked with almost what seemed to be puppy eyes.

"I will." He says as he waved goodbye and walks out of her room.

XxXxX

As soon as Lelouch returned to the school, he went to the main office to speak with the head family. After being permitted into the chairman's office, Lelouch sat down.

"Ah so you came. I was afraid you wouldn't show for a minute there." the older man said briskly.

"The only reason I came is because I want to know why you picked Kallen." Lelouch stared into the man's dark eyes.

"Because she's from a high class family too, not many other girls in this school have such a high status. Especially none anywhere near your ranking, Prince." He said as he took a sip of his hot tea.

"I see, so Kallen's father's status is why you chose her. So why did you call me here when we were on the phone. Why couldn't we of discussed this over the phone?" Lelouch asked as his eyebrows knit together.

"Because I want this part kept between me, you and Kallen." He began.

"Well?" Lelouch asked, gulping.

"I want Kallen to move in with you by the end of tomorrow." He said with a grin.

"WHAT!? Already? Why so soon? Why not wait until we're married?" Lelouch yelled loudly.

"I saw you two together, you don't look like you know each other well enough. So spending time together by living in the same room should do you good." The man said as he took another sip of tea.

"So tomorrow, eh?" Lelouch repeated defeated.

'Kallen won't like this…' he thought grimly.

"You know the rules, you disobey me and you're out of here boy." He said as he waved his hand dismissively.

"I understand." Lelouch said unemotionally as he stood from the plush chair and walked out of the room.

When Lelouch got back to his room he flopped on his back onto his bed. He flipped open his cell phone and dialed Kallen's number.

"Hello, Lelouch?" she asked.

"Kallen, we need to talk. It's serious now." He said darker than he should've.

"What is it? Lelouch you're scaring me." He panicked.

"He wants you to move into my room, tomorrow night." Lelouch spoke with a sour bite to his voice.

"Wh-what!? Are you serious? Tell me you're joking!" she pleaded.

"I'm afraid it's true, he's demanding that you move in before tomorrow night."

"Oh god…I just painted my room last month too!" she cried out.

"What color?" he asked, desperate to change the subject.

"You were just here…it's pink.." she stuttered out in embarrassment. Lelouch laughed.

"Really? I hadn't noticed. Is pink your favorite color?" he asked as he tried his best to stifle his laughter. Lelouch was going to have nightmares about that room.

"Shush you! When I move in I'm painting the walls pink!" she said with venom to her words.

"Hey now, just because you're moving in doesn't mean that you're gonna take over the place now. Besides, my room is only big enough for one bed." He hinted with a sly tone.

"Then it'll be a bunk bed." She stated flatly.

"Ouch, you're mean!" he said mockingly.

"Quit being a pervert Lelouch!" she hissed at him. Lelouch laughed again, teasing Kallen was fun.

"Hey wait a sec! Your room is huge! What do you mean no room!?" she yelled, she caught him lying like a pervert.

"I meant for another bed, I have a king size so your bed wouldn't fit in here with it." He said as he scanned his room, measuring the space in his head.

"But you have lots of open space!" she complained.

"Think about it, would you rather us have to share the same dresser and share the same underwear drawer to make room for your bed? Or would you rather just have our own sides of the bed and your panties stay out of my reach?" Lelouch could swear that his hormones were kicking in again. It had been over a week now since he'd satisfied himself with Kallen and now they're acting up again.

"LULU! Touch my underwear and I'll rip holes in every pair of boxers you own!" she threatened and Lelouch could swear he heard something break over the phone.

"Okay! Chill! I was joking! But my point remains valid." He said with a triumphant grin that she'd never see.

"Fine, so how the hell are we going to get my stuff over there? There's no way we can use your motorcycle." she pointed out.

"I guess call a moving van." He said as he glanced at his alarm clock. It was only five o'clock, there might be time yet.

"Kallen, we're going to have to skip school tomorrow." He told her.

XxXxX

Lelouch was glad that Kallen was warming up to the idea of marrying him. But that was thanks to Zero commanding her to live a normal life with him.

Lelouch called a moving van to come by Kallen's house and he drove over there to help her pack. Kallen had already informed her parents.

"I can't believe my little girl is so grown up already!" Kallen's mother shouted in happiness.

'I wonder if you had something to do with this marriage…' Kallen thought suspiciously.

"I'm here!" Lelouch called out as he walked inside the house.

"Oh Lelouch! Come upstairs!" Kallen yelled down the stairs as she carried a large box full of cloths.

"Do you want me to take that out to the van?" he offered. She handed him the box with a 'thank you' and went back into her room.

They packed up all of her cloths, possessions and books. They took her posters and decorations down and even her television. Everything that belonged to Kallen in that room went into the van. All except one thing, her bed.

"We ready to go?" he asked as they looked at the empty but bright pink room.

"Yeah." She whispered almost sadly as she turned and walked out of the room for what could be the last time ever.

"Let's go…home." He whispered in her ear as they got on the motorcycle together. Kallen smiled, she wasn't sure if things would work out, or if she would ever be happy with Lelouch. But she prayed that he would be good to her.

'If I'm going to dance in heels, it might as well be with the man I love.' She thought as she wrapped her arms around his torso and clung to his jacket.

'If only I could marry Zero…then my life would be complete.' Was her last thought as they took off into the night with the moving van behind them.

As they pulled into the Ashford Academy parking lot, Lelouch had to wake Kallen up for she had fallen asleep on his back. 'I'm just glad she didn't fall off!'

They moved all of her stuff into Lelouch's room, everything just barely fit together. But it looked comfy overall. Kallen's laptop sat next to Lelouch's on the computer desk, her dresser sat next to his and her bookshelf alongside his. It looked only slightly cramped, but a lot like a home.

"Welcome home Kallen!" Lelouch said as he flopped down on the bed on his back.

She gave him a goofy smile. "I get the left side of the bed."

L.K.: Wooh! That took a while! . Sorry about that! I wasn't sure how this was all gonna fit together for a minute there! 0.0 But in all seriousness, I kept getting friends IM'ing me and calling me, interrupting me from writing..T.T Also sorry about any spelling ro grammar errors…not only last time did I forget to use my spellchecker but now it won't seem to work. I think I changed the setting! So I had to look through this myself, so if you see anything wrong it's all my fault…all mine…blame me…
