Two years. Two years since the death of Lelouch vi Britannia. Two years since Suzaku had murdered him with no regrets. Lelouch deserved death, no, something worse. For his crimes... Lelouch deserved eternal pain. For taking away Euphy... For Nunnally. Everyone that he hurt and killed. For even murdering his own father and mother. He took the lives of his brothers and sisters with no mercy. Lelouch had hurt him with no feelings at all. He was wrong in every way, and some how he managed to drag Suzaku into this mess. Yes. Lelouch vi Britannia should rot in hell forever. And ever. Suzaku thought under the mask.

Today was Lelouch's birthday and Suzaku was going to do something he hadn't done in years. Enter Lelouch's old bedroom. Why? Because he needed to burn somethings of Lelouch's to show the world how much he- no. Zero hated him. As the emperor, Lelouch would often lock himself in that room and allow no one to enter. He would go without food for days, back then Suzaku would worry about him, but now that he had time to think about it, Lelouch deserved all of that pain. Every second. Then after that, no one bothered to go in or even touch it, or maybe it was because Nunnally ordered it. She was too protective of her brother's things.

Dressed in the Zero costume, Suzaku's hand turned on the door nob. It slowly opened and the first thing that Suzaku saw was... Dust. Lot and lots of dust. Everywhere. Other than that, the room looked no different. Same red curtains, same four poster bed, same desk and chair, and same bathroom. Lelouch had the best of everything... How original. He scowled under that mask and flung open the curtains. This place needed light. He took a step back and locked the door behind him. He didn't need people finding out that Zero was in Lelouch's old room. Then... Something else caught his eye. Four books laid on his desk, with a small note. Slowly... Suzaku headed towards it. Maybe it was something worth using to tarnish Lelouch's name even more.

To the reader:

Inside these four books. Contains the truth about Lelouch vi Britannia, Zero, The Demon Emperor, And Lelouch Lamperouge If you enjoy this world right now... Don't open it and read. The truth isn't always the best for the world. I suggest you burn these right after you read. Yes. This is my journal.

Suzaku's eye widened, maybe... He should take a look. At least to Euphy's death. His gloved hands flipped the book open quickly. The pages... were covered in blood and tears. Tears they stained the page also everywhere. So the demon emperor did have half a heart. Blood? How would there be blood? Was it his? Or... E-euphy's..? He ponder for a bit before moving on. The past was the past. Suzaku look down at Lelouch's handwriting. It covered the page neatly and even from the obvious tears shed on this page, it was easy to read.

I... Hate geass. Geass... The power of the kings? No. It is the power of demons. Will it bring you to a life of solitude? Yes. I hate this power, I hate myself for using this. I remember it. She had done it. Euphy had discovered Euphy's identity, something that millions of others have kept trying at and she done it. She did it. So I revealed myself to her... and we talked. Euphemia had convinced me to join her cause and I was planning to tell her about geass. I was. My explaining was only half-way done... When... I was only joking when I told Euphy to kill the Japanese. It was only a joke, and yet the geass activated. She fought it. I screamed for her to stop. I tired...But it didn't do anything. She grabbed a gun and opened fired. The massacre is my fault... I hate myself. So let my blood follow hers in death. But still, in the end. I shot her. I killed my own sister... And then... Used her death to my own plan. Japan hates Britannia. Japan will rebel. So everything is fine. Right? How...? I don't know. The only one left in the Britannia family other than Nunnally that I truly loved. But, she would have rather died than follow my command. An accident... Has destroyed my sister. For the gentler world, the Nunnally's and Euphy's dream. I will fight. I will continue on my path. Because the only ones who should kill are those prepared to be killed.

Suzaku sucked in a breath. Lies. This book was a lie. It... It... Wasn't an accident! Lelouch used it to his own cause. Even still, he had still shot Euphy so the fact remains. Lelouch was a demon. Lelouch was a horrible person. Lelouch doesn't deserve happiness. He refused to believe that he lost his one true love to an accident. He refused to believe Lelouch was a good person, better than him. It wasn't impossible. Even... if it was... Lelouch had still killed Shirley, and Rolo. So he drew in a breath to stop his tears and kept reading.

Suzaku Kururugi. My worst enemy. My best friend. He betrayed me. To my father. The bastard. The traitor. The IDIOT. How could he? So I swear it. I will make Suzaku suffer a punishment worse then death. Let him believe that I murdered his precious Euphemia. Let him believe it was out of cold blood. He's never searched under the surface anyways. He was always the one to jump to conclusions. I remember the scene well. Kallen didn't bother to help me. Some Q-1. I shot and missed. Suzaku captured me. Dragged me before the emperor, and then he himself became a dog of the empire. The knight of seven. He's everything I stand against. I will destroy him. I promise. Today is the day Zero returned and the man of miracles is bringing Japan to freedom and Britannia to it's downfall. The world saw Zero's power at the Babylon tower today. Not to mention my little brother is a fake. No one remembers Nunnally. My dear sister is gone...This is all Suzaku's fault...

He stared at the two pages in shook. This... was Lelouch's true feelings. What was behind that mask. This... Was the truth, why? Because he saw his hatred for Suzaku in these pages. This was the truth that Lelouch hid so well, but does that mean... Euphy... No..! This...! It's all Lelouch's fault! All of it. His frame shook with frustration. Why hadn't Lelouch ever told him? No. No. Lelouch hated him. No. NO. NO. The thought hit him like a brick, "HE'S BEEN PLANNING THIS... He..." His voice grew quiet and the pieces fit in place, "He... Made it easy... For... me. That's why... He never told me..." His voice cracked. He just read on. This was the past... He couldn't change it now. The page was once again covered in blood and tears. This was Shirley's death.

She's gone. One of the most innocent people. Ever. My friend Shirley. Someone... who I would never want to live without. Killed... By... Rolo. ROLO. He'll pay for his crimes. I don't even want to look him in the eyes. He's an unnatural killer. He's a monster. How dare he ever think that he could replace Nunnally? Shirley. Shirley. Shirley. I took the life of her father and now... I took hers as well. Even though Rolo... It's my fault. I should have protected her better, I should have talked to her and made her understand. I should have stopped Zero just to save her. I should have been there for her! EVERY TIME... And now she's gone. I should have done something to stop this. Something. These... deaths are all my fault. All of them. I cannot dump the blame on someone else when I am the obvious sinner. Euphy and Shirley... The both of them... I... Don't want to go on. I don't want to take this power of geass anymore. But I will. Suzaku believes it's me. Let him. It is after all. Her death is on my hands. I shouldn't have brought Rolo. I shouldn't have even... My dear friend Shirley. For her the gentler world will come true.

He flipped the page. This was after Lelouch became emperor. Suzaku was biting back the horrible feeling in his gut. That Lelouch was a good person.

It worked. My plan is almost complete. The world will be at peace soon. I believe it. All the people that gave their lives... I will soon join them. Suzaku will kill me and live. Rolo... My brother. I guess it's only now I've discovered how much you cared and how much I miss you. I miss you, and will join you soon. I'm crying as I write this. For the tenth time this month. My diaries are covered in my blood and tears. Blood from... Nevermind. Today, I've finally done something that I haven't been able to do for months. I have brought Suzaku Kururugi to my side. I actually do miss being with him. But together we can do anything. He's my knight now. Since I have taken over Britannia. Yes. This was the plan. The world's hate will focus on me and then they will be able to move on. It's not like I deserve anything more. The fate I have given myself is well deserved. Oh. Yes. I am the emperor. The 99th emperor of Britannia. Soon to be called the demon emperor. It... feels so weird. Having Suzaku as my knight is... So. Weird. It sounds strange from me, but having him kneel before me...? We're equals. That I know. It's strange. Gosh. I have changed.. Become soft? Probably. Caring for the person that sold me out? That's not like the demon emperor. Not at all. I've also done something I've been waiting my whole life for. I have finally killed the man that caused my sister so much pain. Charles zi Britannia is dead. I have killed him. The one thing I've been planning since my travels to Japan has finally come true. I've waited eight years for this and it has finally been achieved. Still. Their sorry lives are not worth the one of my dear brother. C.C and Suzaku bear witness to my great deed. My mother joined him, she joined the bastard. And I have discovered she is no better. May the two of them be in forever pain. I feel so calm writing this. I have no idea why. But it is. I am.

Suzaku hurled the book across the room, "LIAR! THAT'S ALL YOU EVER DO, IS LIE! LELOUCH...! YOU LIED TO ME. I..." He stopped to pant. Lelouch was a hero. No. He wasn't he was a horrible person. No. Lelouch was a good person. No... He was a demon. Why...? He didn't he tell him? Then... maybe he would have helped Lelouch come up with a different way to end things. "Thank you." He whispered. "Lelouch, my best friend. I thank you. For doing this for me. For Euphy. For Nunnally. I'll... never be able to forgive you, but... I miss you." The tears poured out. He had... Lelouch... Euphy... Nunnally... He needed to clear Lelouch's name. After he finished reading all of Lelouch's writing of course. Suzaku slowly bent over and picked up the book to keep reading. He read all of the four book that were jammed with Lelouch's feelings and his emotions. Rolo's death. Him becoming emperor. Suzaku fighting him. Gino. Kallen. Nunnally. Cornelia. Anya. Jeremiah. Everyone was in his books. Lelouch wrote about his feelings for each person in the second book, in the third contained his before exiled and his years before geass, and the last book was about the other events. Other events that Lelouch had written about. Mostly happy things in the last one. Suzaku sat on the dusty bed and read then again and again. His was the demon's books. Suzaku bit his lip. All of a sudden he disliked cursing Lelouch's name after knowing all the pain his friend went through. Then he promised himself something, Lelouch vi Britannia's name would be cleared, Cornelia, Ohgi, Kallen, Todoh, Gino, Anya, and the rest of them, they would all know Lelouch's true nature. How he, alone shouldered the blame of the world.

Suzaku stared at the book was sighed softly, in a couple hours his view on Lelouch had completely changed. Thee came to the last paragraph. The last one.

That is the story of Lelouch vi Britannia and his other masks. So. Dear reader. Lelouch indeed found a punishment worse than death. As you have learned about geass... Lelouch now has a code. Which will provide him with the punishment Suzaku Kururugi believed he deserved. Pain. Pain and more pain. Would you like to meet him for yourself and find out? The blue card is your first clue. Ten more will follow and Lelouch is laid to suffer at the last card. Why eleven? Because Lelouch was the 11th prince. Do not save him. He'll kill him for not burning these books like he asked.

The immortal witch.

Suzaku's jaw dropped, no. It wasn't possible. Had he made Lelouch torture himself...? No? Yes? He had to find his friend and hear the answers from his mouth. Why not play C.C's game? The world was a peace and Nunnally would jump at the chance to find her brother. Suzaku needed to talk with the demon emperor. A man to man talk. Lelouch couldn't just trick any everyone and get away with it. The knight was already planning his lecture about Lelouch's behaviors.
