Milly's POV

When Milly received a call from Lelouch, a mix of curiosity and concern enveloped her. Lelouch seemed to carry a cell phone solely for aesthetics. "At least he answers calls, usually..." thought the blonde. She took her phone and answered, hoping it wasn't about some health-related issue with Nunnally. When she heard what Lelouch had to say, she couldn't help but laugh. Normally, she would have forced Lelouch to do something like this; it was time for the demon of Ashford to get to work.

The next day

"Come, Professor! Our students have prepared a magnificent initiative" Milly said with a big smile, dragging the professor in front of a stage outside the institute. "Welcome to the reconstruction of the Battle of Itsukushima!"

Kallen climbed onto the stage with a blonde wig. "I, Clovis la Britannia, will bring glory to the empire!"

Then, Lelouch ascended the stage with his hair slicked back and a katana at his side. "Prince Clovis, withdraw immediately. We won't abandon Itsukushima to your hands,"

Kallen responded. "You can do nothing against our new KNIGHTMARE FRAME" a Knightmare emerged behind the stage. "Prepare to die, Todoh"

Lelouch said, "You're a fool, charging straight into our cannons" A cardboard structure vaguely resembling a cannon was brought in front of the Knightmare. Lelouch commanded, "Fire" and a stream of water shot from the cannon, at the same time the Knightmare turned off.

Kallen exclaimed, "It's impossible for me, Clovis la Britannia, to lose against these Elevens." At this point, most of the crowd was laughing, but not the professor; he was furious. "WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE, a total lack of respect for our great history!".

Milly handed the professor a 50-page report on the battle. "These phrases are taken directly from the battle transcripts, the principal has read it and is very impressed with what Lelouch and Kallen have done" Milly continued "He is not equally impressed with a professor demanding the impossible with only a day to do it. He hopes not to hear such things again." The professor was infuriated, walking away while muttering incomprehensible words. Milly watched the guy she always considered like a little brother and the new girl continue their performance; it had been a while since she had seen Lelouch so cheerful.

Kallen POV

Kallen returned home with a smile on her face; seeing the man walk away infuriated was priceless. Even though it had required a night of preparation and exposing herself more than necessary, she had almost reached home. But in front of the mansion gate, she found an ungrateful traitor. She pretended to ignore him and move forward, but Kallen stopped when she heard his voice.

Naoto said, "Kallen, stop, we need to talk".

The Japanese girl turned to look at him. She loved her brother, but she was no longer just a little girl. Naoto wouldn't agree. "Finally, it seems like someone remembered having a sister...".

Naoto sighed; she had managed to make him feel guilty. "You can't come to the ghetto without warning me; it's dangerous. Even if you had good intentions, do you have any idea how much you risked? The Britannian police had planned a raid. If they had caught you..."

Kallen interrupted him shouting, "QUIET, I know the risks. I'm Japanese too. I know what you're doing is important for our people." Kallen's voice lowered more and more. "but I miss you."

Naoto approached and hugged Kallen. "I know, I miss you too" Naoto thought about his next words very carefully "I also know you're growing Kallen, but please don't do anything foolish. You're my little sister, and I don't want you to get hurt" Naoto released Kallen from his hug and stepped back "How about coming to celebrate with Ohgi and the others?".

Kallen smiled, and the two walked off. However, Naoto asked, "Who is this Lelouch you're hanging out with?" Naoto didn't get a verbal answer, but probably a bruise on the arm was eloquent enough. Kallen cursed her mother.

Lelouch's POV

"Hey Lelouch, who was the girl you were acting with? I don't remember ever hearing her voice during the theater club performances" Nunnally asked her brother, while he was cooking dinner.

Lelouch replied after a few seconds, "A classmate of mine. If there's an opportunity, I'll introduce her to you." 'Not before finding out who she really is, I'm sorry Nunnally, but this time I won't take any risks'.

Nunnally smiled at his brother and said "Wonderful" she always liked his friends.

Milly's POV

The blonde was reading through the student files until she found her target. It seems someone doesn't belong to any club; it will be fun.
