"In the end, humanity has just one weapon. And that weapon is laughter." Mark Twain

The next day, classes were canceled on the account that prince Colvis' funeral was today. Although club activities still proceeded as normal. Lelouch went home to begin to hide his Zero costume, Zero went home just to watch a baseball game, and C.C. managed to get from the shack back to the vice chairman's house without being seen. For the most part, Lelouch just stayed home. He had to order another pizza since C.C. had begun to crave the stuff lately. She ate it so much, yet never gained a single pound. This feat stunned Lelouch as this was the ninth he had ordered for this woman. C.C. opened the door as the pizza came in, unaware as when she opened the door, a cat managed to walk on by her.

"Oh I'm sorry." The pizza man said. "The order was placed under a man's name. Is this alright?"

"It's fine." C.C. said as she took the box. "The man ordered it for me anyway."

C.C. reentered Lelouch's room with the box in hand. She opened it up and began to eat as she watched Lelouch pack up the suit of Zero in the briefcase Zero had given it to him.

"Hiding your mask?" She asked.

"Unlike Geass, the mask is physical evidence." Lelouch said. "I have no need to worry about Zero; he can manage himself…"

Lelouch and C.C. were interrupted by the sound of the door knocking. Lelouch quickly packed up the mask and hid it behind the front of the briefcase. If one opened the door, their line of sight in the room would prevent them from seeing it. Nunally opened the door.

"Brother." She said. "I made some tea. Why don't you come on down? This smell…pizza again?"

"I'm saving up points." Lelouch lied.

"Brother…" Nunally began. "Aren't you starting to become a little chubby around the belly?"

"Don't you dare check." Lelouch joked as he exited the room.

C.C. stood there as she gripped her pizza box. Suddenly she heard a loud thump behind her. She turned around to see that the briefcase had fallen over. She couldn't tell what did it. She looked around the room, completely missing the fact that a cat had knocked over the briefcase and got Lelouch's mask of Zero stuck on its head. The cat passed by C.C. in her and its confusion and ran off before she even knew what had happened.

"Suzaku has been having an awful hard time lately." Nunally said.

"Well…" Lelouch began, but quickly gave up. He knew that Suzaku was having an awful time at the school just for being an Eleven. Zero did what he could to help Suzaku, but it wasn't enough. Zero was a popular student among the middle grounded students. He was loved by the ones who felt sorry for the Elevens, and hated by the purists. He still remembered the night earlier…

"Come again soon." Lelouch said as he walked Suzaku to the door. "Nunally would enjoy it."

"Yeah." Suzaku said. "But…"

"Hmm?" Lelouch wondered.

"Lelouch…" he began. "Let's pretend not to know each other at school."

"Huh?" Lelouch began. "Why not?"

"I've already caused enough for you." If you're not careful, someone might discover you're a prince. It would hurt Nunally too…"

"So that's it!" Lelouch shouted all of a sudden. "Going to put others before you just like before!"

"Hmm?" Suzaku asked himself. "Before?"

"Umm…" Lelouch began.

Suzaku stood there confused for a bit. A smile returned to his face a few seconds later.

"Thanks for having me over." He said. "We should do it again sometime."

"Yeah." Lelouch said as Suzaku walked down the stairs. Before He made it to the bottom, Suzaku said some last words to him.

"I'm so happy. I thought I would never see you again."

Lelouch sighed before he continued. "These things take time."

"Isn't it possible to do something?" She asked. "He's your friend you know?"

Lelouch sighed. He remembered that Suzaku insisted Lelouch pretend not to know him on the account Suzaku had caused Lelouch enough trouble early on when they first met up again at Shinjuku, and he didn't wish to inflict anymore. Lelouch really wanted to help but…

His thoughts were cut short by something off the corner of his eye. Lelouch looked to see the cat that had the mask of Zero on its head. Whatever concept of manhood Lelouch held onto, he let it go all at once as he screamed like a girl the moment he saw that. It was so loud, Sayoko heard it from upstairs; but made no motive to care for it. Lelouch Immediately got up from his seat and ran after the car, which bolted out of the room.

"Hey give that back!" Lelouch shouted after it.

Nunally just stood there confused.

Lelouch jumped out the window on the first story in order to catch up with the cat.

"A cat!" He shouted to himself as he pursued the cat. "A mere cat! This isn't funny! I will not exposed by such a ridiculous turn of events!"

C.C. even had a chance to witness the spectacle herself from the window. She watched as Lelouch pursued the cat on foot as she ate her pizza. She thought about helping, but then decided not to.

"Well it wasn't my fault." She said as Lelouch went out of view.

Within a few minutes after Lelouch made his spectacle in front of his sister, Nunally phoned the student council about what had happened. Within minutes after making the call, Millay, Leval, and Nina showed up at the house and talked to Nunally.

"Yes that's right." Nunally said. "It seems something important from him was taken by a cat."

"Important?" Millay asked.

"I'm not exactly sure what it could be…" Nunally continued. "But I have never heard my brother scream like that before. It must have been really important!"

"What could be important to Lelouch?" Leval asked.

"I love letter?" Nina suggested.

"A dirty picture?" Millay asked.

"A poetry book?" Leval asked stupidly.

"Poetry book?" Nunally asked.

Leval and Millay simply giggled to each other and then turned around towards Nunally.

"Don't worry!" Millay shouted. "We'll definitely get it back faster than Lelouch."

Nunally had no idea what she had just got Lelouch into.

Lelouch continued to chase the cat. It was a real sad display really. The cat was still ninety feet in front of him. And it was gaining considerable distance from him. Lelouch ran through the school buildings and on the side of the school as he continued to chase the cat.

If I had the terrorists with me, I could have initiated the plan.

The cat leaped up from the ground to the awning of the current building Lelouch was at. Although Lelouch couldn't get the cat now, he still he kept in close pursuit of it. Better to know where it I then lose track of it.

Kallen…No… I cannot have her suspect me more than she already…

Lelouch lost his train of thought when he ran into a bush. Since he was running at full speed (which wasn't saying much), he instantly fell off his feet and into the bush. Lelouch looked up to see the cat leap off the roof, run towards him, and move in the other direction.

"Stubborn ass!" Lelouch shouted as he got up and resumed his pursuit of the cat.

The cat ran into the school building where the students were busy and about. Although there were no classes, the clubs were still busy and about. Many students were still among the area. School hallways showed that the school was high class. The hallways were coated with marble. The ceiling was painted black with marble arched every once in a while appearing the hallway. There wasn't too much walls as most of it was windows.

Shit!

"So that's why I told him that." One girl said to her friend.

"Yeah yeah, then." Her friend said.

"Then he…hey it's a cat!" The girl said.

The cat stopped for a few seconds to scratch its head. Then it ran off.

"Isn't that Zero's mask on it?" Her friend said.

"Yeah…but what's it doing here?" She asked her friend again.

Lelouch ran as the cat ran off. He quickly noticed though that the girls were still watching the cat. He then came to understand that the girls had seen the mask.

"You!" He shouted. "You saw it didn't you?"

He quickly activated the Geass on his eye.

"Forget what you saw!" He shouted.

The Geass power bestowed into the eyes of the two young ladies. It entered the brain and the two ladies instantly fell under his power.

"Yes!" They shouted. "We will forget!"

"Good!" Lelouch shouted.

Then he quickly ran after the cat down the school hallways.

As Lelouch was running, a tone appeared through his ears. It was the sound of the school message system that the president used in order to communicate to the whole school.

"Attention!" Millay said over the mike. "This is your Millay Ashford, daughter to the chairman of the whole school. It's a cat!"

Lelouch's blood nearly turned cold when he heard that.

"We are currently in pursuit of a rogue cat!" She continued. "All club activates are suspended as of now! Any club that participates will receive additional funding. And any club member who finds the cat will receive a great prize! A kiss from one of the student council members!"

When Shirley heard what the prize was for recovering the cat (while she was attempting her dive for the swimming team), she lost her balance and fell off the diving board. All of the swimming team members watched as Shirley fell from the top of the thirty foot drop and smashed straight into the water.

Meanwhile, Kallen was busy walking around the school garden when she heard the announcement.

"The student council…" She said to herself. "That means…ME!"

"THAT'S RIGHT!" A bunch of other club members said as they popped out of the bushes.

"A kiss from her!" One club member said.

"She has been going in and out of the council room." Another member said.

"Did Millay specify where we could kiss her?" A pervy one said.

"No, no, it doesn't matter; even a kiss on the cheek is good enough." Another from the gardening club said.

All of them seemed to stop talking for a few seconds.

"ALL RIGHT!" They all shouted.

All of the club dispersed from the area and ran to search for the cat. Kallen just stood there stupefied. She could not believe this was happening.

"No way!" She shouted. "That would be my first kiss!"

A group of girls that heard the announcement were extremely excited.

"Student council?" One shouted. "That means Lelouch and Zion are up for chances!"

All of the girls immediately shouted and giggled as soon as they heard that.

"I prefer Millay san…" One shy girl said out of the blue.

All of the girls nearly flinched back when they heard that. Then again, you would too if you suddenly just found out that the girl you were hanging out with who you thought was straight the whole time was gay.

"It's a little late to come out of the closet." Her friend said.

"FIND IT!" Millay continued to shout over the intercom. "And when you do, bring the thing that it has to me! TO ME! TO MEEEE!"

Everyone was too busy trying to figure out where the cat was so nobody seemed to notice Millay's maniacal laughter over the school intercom. In only minutes after she made the announcement, the entire school was after

"Damn President!" Lelouch shouted. "He's totally going to kill me for this stupid lack of attention, but I need help!

Lelouch grabbed his cell phone and dialed in Zero's private phone number.

Zero had heard the news. But he wasn't one to care about such things. He stayed in his room at the Ashford manor the whole time playing the guitar he had purchased when he had first joined the academy. He was quite bored as he was all caught with his work and desired nothing right now than to relax. Leviathan lay in his bed wearing a shirt and extremely small shorts as she watched Zero play.

"Here come old flat top; he come grooving up slowly." Zero sang as he played his guitar. "He got, Chu chu eye ball; he got holy roller."

"Oh god." Leviathan said as she turned in Zero's direction. "That is such an old persona of music. I never expected someone like you Zero to enjoy that."

"The Beatles were a revolution in music…at least the data from our world says about them." Zero said as he continued to play the song. "If the Beatles never existed, music ideas of the past would never have been inspired at all. It didn't matter as the ages went on. Everyone still listened to them even after they died."

"Did you always listen to them?" Leviathan asked.

"Nah." Zero said. "Doctor Cain just happened to play that stuff every day. I figured if I'm going to use music to keep me occupied for the time being, might as well play what I know."

Leviathan smiled at him…Zero just stared at her stoically.

"I must say though…lately it's starting to become something I like." He continued. "Music has one of the strongest influences ever. It can change a person's mindset; sometimes without them even knowing it. I've been thinking about my past a lot…and lately music has been helping me get through it."

"It just doesn't seem you to try and play music." She asked.

"Well I did say I was going to have an unusual hobby anyway to keep people off my tail." Zero said. "But the music is helping keeping my demons away lately. I'm glad I kept some of those talent programs in my reserve hard drive as they're finally becoming useful."

Zero then continued to strum notes on the guitar.

"Come together! Right now! Over me!" Zero sung.

"You know a lot of the girls at this school think you're sexy as hell." Leviathan said. "What if they catch that cat and come after you?"

"As if." Zero spat. "They're not going to find me."

"Ahhh….that's so sweet that you're saving yourself for me." Leviathan said softly.

"I said we we're friends, not lovers." Zero said. "You just so happened to be stuck in a peculiar dilemma…that's all."

"That's not what I see being in the same bed with you and all." Leviathan said.

Zero sighed.

"Shut up." He said.

Zero played the solo for a bit when his cell phone rang. He put down his guitar and answered his phone.

"Hello?" He asked. "What is it?"

Leviathan continued to watch the TV.

"You gotta be kidding me?" Zero shouted. "ARE YOU THAT STUPID?"

Zero angrily hung up his cell phone. He quickly got up and put on a black jacket.

"What happened?" Leviathan asked.

"Zero messed up already!" Zero said.

"What'd you do?" She asked.

"Not me!" He shouted. "I'll be back in a few minutes!"

Zero pushed open the window to his room and leapt out of it. He used his acceleration program to run at full speed, only appearing as a red blur to anyone who saw him. He eventually stopped and looked around for the cat.

"Where could it be?" He asked.

As soon as he stopped running, Zero ran into the eye view of a whole group of girls from the swim team, and or otherwise who were searching for the whole cat. As soon as they saw Zero, their eyes all began to sparkle.

"There he is!" One shouted.

"He's so dreamy!" Another shouted.

"Hey, do you think we can get something more than just a kiss!" Another shouted.

"Knowing Millay, we could easily request it!" One of the swim team members.

"Hey…you don't think there's any problem in kissing him now? One shouted.

All of the girls looked at that one, and then turned their eyes towards Zero. Zero looked at them all in fear and annoyance.

"How bad is my luck today?" Zero shouted as a crowd of girls started to chase him down the hallway. Leviathan managed to poke her head out to see commotion without being seen. After she saw the ordeal, she fell down on the floor laughing hysterically. She quickly grabbed on a longer skirt and leapt on the buildings watching Zero get chased by all the school girls.

"Using people as a reward without their consent!" Kallen shouted as she ran through the hallways of the school. "This is why I hate Britannia!"

She quickly saw two other people walking in the school hallways. Kallen quickly stopped and began to walk as she needed to maintain her alias as a frail school girl. However as soon as the two young ladies walked by, Kallen resumed running down the hallways.

"Geez!" She shouted as she kept running. "I should never have chosen such a weak persona!"

Kallen failed to notice that someone was in her way. She ran straight into that person face first. Kallen quickly resumed her weak persona and began to talk to the recipient.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't see you there…Shirley!" She shouted.

She had run into Shirley, but that's not what surprised her. Shirley was wearing nothing except her swimsuit. It's likely that in the chaos, she did not have the time to change.

"What the hell are you wearing Shirley?" She said.

"But our kisses at our stake here!" Shirley shouted.

Kallen looked at her. Then she nodded her head. To Kallen, Shirley did not want to be kissed by someone she didn't know.

"Agreed." Kallen said.

"Damn it." Zero shouted. "I should never have tried to even bother mingling with this man! I may have violated the Law of Robotics for all but naught!"

Zero turned a corner to see the cat walking by.

"Good." Zero said. "It hasn't been caught yet."

The cat looked at Zero for a few seconds before running off into the school hallway.

"Oh no you don't!" Zero shouted as he ran after the cat.

Before he had a chance to get even near the cat, one of the doors opened right on Zero, knocking him to his right. As unfortunate as that was, on his right was an open door leading to a stairway. Zero was now rolling down a whole flight of stairs. Zero was seen shouting a variety of swears as he fell down on the stairs:

"Ow…Damn it…son of a…fuck…shit…fucking fuck…damn it…dammit…mutha fuck…"

Zero crashed at the end of the flight of stairs, crashing into some pieces of furniture and into another hallway. He managed to get up a bit after the whole ideal.

"Ughh…" He grunted. "That could have ended wors…"

Before Zero could get up, one student ran down that flight of stairs ran into Zero and knocked him down a second flight of stairs. Zero was now again rolling down the stairs, swearing at the top of his lungs.

"Nunally." Nina asked. "Could you give us any information about this cat?"

"Well…" She began. Although Nunally could not see, her ears and other senses were enhanced because of the loss of one sense. "I believe it might have been injured. It did not seem to be walking right. It also has a very weird meow like this."

Nunally meowed like a cat over the intercom. Quite embarrassing really; but at this point, the whole school was embarrassing itself. No one particular cared. In fact, the moment after she had done that, a large uproar was heard at the school. Count Lloyd, X, and Cecile were busy outside the school in the R&D truck lab. When they had heard the uproar, they all three turned in the direction of the school.

"What a carefree school." Cecile said.

"I for one, think this a grand thing." X said. Cecile looked at X when he said that.

"In the end, humanity has just one weapon. And that weapon is laughter." X said, quoting Mark Twain.

"X, I didn't you were so literate." Cecile said.

"Well it's true." X said. "Everyone is all depressed over the death of the prince. But look at this school now; they found a way to take their mind off of it. Not a lot of people that we have seen so far have been able to do such a thing. For people to be able to laugh and keep their mind off things is a good thing."

"More importantly…" Lloyd said. "About this school…"

"Oh I talked to them." Cecile said.

"I see…" Lloyd began. "But they didn't have to force everything out, including the Lancelot. Even though numbers aren't allowed to be a knight."

Zero managed to recover from falling down two flights of stairs and was in hot pursuit of the cat.

"I got you now you fur ball." Zero said.

As Zero was running, he began to slip when he got to a hallway with tile. When he looked down to find out what was going on, he noticed that the hallway was again waxed.

"What?" He shouted. "Wax has screwed me over twice now!"

Zero began to lose his balance. He continually tried to get his balance back up; but since he was running at a huge pace, he started slipping again as soon as he got back up. As Zero tried to get back up on his feet, he ended up slipping into another door. Behind that door revealed to be another long flight of stairs. Zero fell down a third a flight of stairs and crashed at the school entrance. Zero laid down on the ground, not in pain, but in humiliation. Students almost paid no attention as they were still hunting the poor thing.

"F…M…L." He said.

"Alright let's go!" Millay said as she jumped in Leval's bike; which he had drove up for her. She got in the passenger seat attachment.

"Hey Millay, about the reward?" Leval asked.

"What is it?" She asked.

"If one of the student council members catches it, do we get the reward as well?" He asked.

Millay thought about what he meant for a few seconds. Then she got the idea.

Ahhh….Leval wants to kiss me. How sweet.

"Sure I don't see a reason not to." She said.

"Well then…" Leval began. "IF that's the case, let's go all out shall we!"

Leval pressed the pedal downward. He made a sharp U-Turn to the right and drove down the school campus towards where the cat was last seen.

"Hey!" A Teacher shouted in the background. "Don't drive around on school campus!"

The cat managed to escape most of the people in the student council and the rest of the clubs at school. It got onto the roof that connected one of the buildings to a large bell tower, and into one of the buildings. While he was running out, Suzaku just barely managed to get a glimpse of the cat run in.

"Is that…" He asked himself, remembering the cat he and Euphie had found that one day.

Suzaku ran over to where the entrance of the large bell tower was. He ran up with Lelouch when he did.

"Lelouch!" He shouted.

"Suzaku!" Lelouch shouted in return.

"You're chasing the cat too?" Suzaku asked.

Suzaku did not get an answer. As soon as he said that, he heard the cat meow from the bell tower. Without waiting for Lelouch to answer, Suzaku began to run up the tower in hot pursuit of where the cat was.

"Wait, Suzaku!" Lelouch shouted. "You go back!"

"But the student council president ordered me to capture it!" He shouted back.

"Never mind her; she's a lunatic!" Lelouch shouted. "I'll get it myself."

"I'm better at physical activities!" Suzaku shouted back. "Remember that one time that chick ran away?"

"Don't bring up old stories!" Lelouch shouted back.

"It was only seven years ago!" Suzaku shouted back.

Lelouch was now utterly failing to keep up. Suzaku was right when he said that he was better as he kept going; whereas Lelouch was already slouching on his back, desperate to try and keep up.

"Your being an idiot as usual!" Lelouch shouted back.

Suzaku managed to get on the top of the roof and began to slowly climb up on the top of the tower. Because of his strength, he was able to slowly inch his way up towards the cat.

"It's all right…" He said slowly. "Don't be scared…"

"Suzaku; wait!" Lelouch shouted. "I'll get the cat."

"It's all right." Suzaku said. "Leave it up to me."

That guy…he's way more stubborn that he used to be in the past.

Lelouch attempted to try and get up on his own. However, having no physical stamina to speak of, Lelouch was unable to keep his footing. He slowly began to slip off the ramp. Upon seeing that, Suzaku quickly slid down and caught Lelouch right before he fell. Suzaku grabbed onto the window sill and reached out his hand grabbing Lelouch. A whole crowd of gasps were heard from below, but most were of sighs of relief.

"Don't tell me those two are…" Nina said in a scared voice.

"Oh." Millay said.

"What happened?" Nunally asked.

"It seems that transfer student just saved your brother from a nasty fall." Millay said.

Nunally did nothing but smile from the whole thing.

Zero walked over to see the whole ordeal. His clothing was a mess from the whole thing, all torn up and ragged.

"What happened to you?" Millay asked.

"Uhhh…you don't want to know." Zero said.

Lelouch was still worried after being caught that he would be discovered. However he looked to see that the cat had moved its head on the bell. This in turn made the helmet fall off its head. Lelouch watched in fear of the helmet falling into the crowd, but luckily it caught a spike and rested gentle on it. Lelouch breathed a sigh of relief and allowed himself to be pulled up by Suzaku.

"You're not really that strong you know." Suzaku said.

"I sort of lost balance." Lelouch said.

It took Suzaku no more than a few minutes later to collect the cat. The cat as he was coming down was busy biting through his sleeve as if he did something he didn't like.

"As I suspected, it was the one cat from before." Suzaku said.

How did it get here to begin with?

Suzaku came in full view of the school. Every member of the student body was looking right at him. He felt sort of awkward and weirded out by the whole thing. Shirley noticed the whole ordeal and decided to take the first hand approach now.

"Way to go Suzaku." She said.

"Not bad new kid." Leval said.

"Thank you for saving our Lulu." Shirley said.

"Not bad out there." Zero said, giving Suzaku a thumb up.

"Say…" Millay said. "Didn't the cat have sometime on it? Where's Lulu anyway?"

"He said he dropped something so that I should go down first." Suzaku said.

"Ah-HA!" Millay shouted. "That's it! His embarrassing secret!"

"So that's what this was all about." Lelouch said as he walked down from the stairs into plain sight of everyone.

"So do you two know each other?" Kallen asked.

Suzaku and Lelouch looked at each other for a bit. Lelouch was wondering if he should tell everyone, and Suzaku the same.

"But he's an eleven." Nina said.

Nunally seemed to be the only one who looked at Nina. Everyone else seemed to be going over and meeting this young individual who had saved the most popular guy in school.

"We're friends." Lelouch finally said to the whole student council. "Miss President, is it all right if he joins the student council?"

The whole council was shocked when Lelouch made that request. Even Suzaku was.

"In our school, you need to belong to a club no matter what." Lelouch continued. "But…"

Millay thought about it for a bit. Everyone had their eyes on her wondering what she would do.

"I guess I can't really do anything since it's a request from the vice chairman." She said.

"All's well that ends well." Nunally said. "Lend me your ears both of you."

Suzaku and Lelouch looked at each other as they wondered what she wanted. When they got close, Nunally kissed them both on the cheek. Now they were just plain out confused.

"The reward for catching the cat was a kiss." She said. "But since you both caught it, you both get the reward."

After all that was said and done, the time came for the school to watch Clovis' state funeral. The entire school body gathered in the gym as a giant flat screen TV; almost as big as a full story, descended from the ceiling. The screen had the words "Prince Clovis' State Funeral" on the bottom. A whole choir sang a sad melody as thousands of Britannians gathered there on the TV.

While the melody was still going, an announcer shouted over the radio:

"The sixteenth Emperor of Britannia will now give a word of condolence."

Up on the podium that was on the stage in the TV, a large man, 8 feet tall, possibly weighing at 190 pounds appeared on the podium. He had a small beard and white British type wig. He grabbed the podium with such tremendous force. After waiting a few seconds for anyone talking in the audience to calm down, he began his bitter, remorseless speech:

"All men are not created equal!" He shouted. "Some are born smarter or more beautiful. Or with parents of greater status. Some, by contrast, are born weak of body or mind, or with few, if any, talents. All men are different! Yes, the very existence of man is discriminatory! That is why there is war, violence, and unrest. Inequality is not evil. Equality is. What became of the EU, who claimed that all are equal? It is in constant conflict because its tenets go against human nature! The Middle Eastern Federation, which harbors similar sentiments, is constantly mired in sloth. But our Britannia is not like them! We put an end to wars and evolve with every conquest! Britannia alone looks forward and moves towards a better future! The death of my son Clovis is yet more proof that our empire is evolving. Fight! For the future rests in the hands of its rulers! ALL HAIL BRITANNIA!"

As soon as Charles had shouted, "All hail Britannia!" the entire city seemed to shake with that phrase over and over. Zero, Suzaku, and Lelouch looked at Charles with intense hatred.

I don't see a difference between this man and a Maverick. If the death of this man stops the wars, then so be it.

You're the reason this all started.

Father…I will kill you for abandoning me and Nunally!

Zero and Lelouch walked back to their rooms after the funeral.

"So now you know who you're up against Zero." Lelouch said.

"You want to take out the Emperor huh?" Zero said. "Did he do something to you?"

"It's not that he did something to me…" Lelouch said. "But what he didn't do."

"Adding some mystery to you I see." Zero said.

"Well you're the one who's full of mystery." Lelouch began.

"It's even a bigger mystery on how the "Oh great mystical leader of the rebellion Zero, the killer of Clovis, destroyer of the army, and scourge of the people", loses his disguise to a common household pet." Zero said.

"Hey that did not seem like a household pet to me!" Lelouch said. "That cat was a bitch to find."

"I had higher expectations for you." Zero said. He made a minor chuckle and began to walk away. "Don't disappoint me Lelouch."

Lelouch made a small laugh himself and gave Zero a small play push. Zero in return did the same thing.

Except, unfortunately for Lelouch, his wasn't a play push.
