Chapter1: The offer

Kallen was laying lazily on her bed in her quarters aboard the Ikaruga with her Black Knights uniform on thinking about Zero. So many has happened to the image of the masked messiah that was built in her mind since she first saw the guy;

First there was the fact that Lelouch was Zero that in itself was a great shock, that her great leader was in fact nothing more than a Britannian student, ofcourse she had known that Zero wasn't Japanese, all the Black Knights from her brother's resistance cell knew ever since the meeting with the Kyoto group where Taizo Kirihara have stated it, but the shock was that he was a student, her classmate nonetheless, ofcourse she had suspected the kid ever since the day after the Shinjuku incident but her suspicion was diverted away when Zero called her in the showers while Lelouch was over there standing right in front of her, but then she came to know from CC that it was nothing but a tape recording.

And then there was his geass power; the power of the king or whatever CC told her, the power to bend one's will to your own, the power of absolute obedience, the power to turn someone into a slave just by looking them into the eye and telling them to be slave.

She had doubted that it was true in the beginning ofcourse after all she wasn't someone to believe in magic, but then when she thought about it everything started to make sense the impossible missions and the miracles; Orange incident, the hotel jacking, general Ktase's death even princess massacre could have been the work of this unholy power. Then doubt began to settle upon here; 'did he use his geass on me as well to make me follow him?' was the question she kept asking herself, she'd also asked the witch for an answer and she told her that he did interrogate her with geass carelessly after the Shinjuku incident before he knew of his one-time-geass-per-person limitation which explained his commanding attitude towards her on that day but still she couldn't take the witch's word for it so she had to verify for herself and she did when she asked after he regained his memory and what she got was the same answer the witch gave her ofcourse he could be lying, then again if he did use his geass on her in any other way to make her follow him she wouldn't even have had questioned him in the first place so she decided not to push the topic any further, after all Japan is in need of Zero.

And recently there was the Black Knights betrayal of him on the Ikaruga after prince Schniezel have brainwashed them with his lies. But what angered and confused her the most was Lelouch's reaction to their betrayal; he admitted it, that he was using Japan that they were nothing but pawns in his game, that she was nothing but pawn in his game, and to think she had started to develop feelings for him. What confused her however was what he said before they were about to execute him; he had asked her to keep living on, but why would he? If she was nothing but a pawn to him this entire time, was he just lying when he called her a pawn? Was it a lie to keep her safe from him? Not doom her to the same end he would meet in any case Kallen had to find out herself or else she wouldn't be able to move on.

Kallen was suddenly brought out of her thoughts when she heard knocking from here door but before she could answer however the door opened and inside stepped a boy, no older than she was if not younger, dark skin, brown eyes, black hair, he was scrawny….. very scrawny and he wore an Ashford academy uniform 'a student?, what is a student doing aboard the Ikaruga?' she questioned however before she could voice any of her thoughts the boy spoke.

"Hi there Miss Kozuki it is a pleasure to meet you, how have you been?" said the boy

"I am fine thank you but who are you? Furthermore what is a student such as yourself doing here aboard a military ship?" she asked trying not to sound angry at the boy after all he intruded on her in her room, and it was very late in the night too.

"I am ….." he trailed off "okay I can't give you my name and as for your second question I don't see anyone complaining about your presence here, sweet ride by the way"

"Okay what do you want with me Mr. nameless"

"What, just like that no "come inside", a cup of tea, a snack you know being a member of the noble Stadtfeld family one would think you would know how to treat a guest" he replied very calmly and in a mocking tone.

"Okay first off I'd appreciate it if you didn't call me with that name second off I am really not in the mood for an intruder's idiocy right now especially a student so if you would please state your business here and be gone"

"Well I am here to make you an offer" he replied

"Okay so what are you her to offer?" she asked

"I am her to offer you the answers you very much desire"

This picked Kallen's interest 'answers?' Kallen thought curiously "wait what answers are you talking about"

"Answers about your leader, LULU, your beloved knight in shining armor…" he paused for a moment seemingly considering something "…or strategist in black armor in our case since he leaves all of the fighting to you, or at least he used to"

It took Kallen one full second to process what was his offer "what do you mean" was her only reply as she straightened herself up now seemingly more interested.

"What do I mean?" the boy questioned mockingly before he brought his hands together up to his chest and wearing what seemed to be a determined expression on his face then he replied with the best girlish voice he could muster "I need an answer Lelouch, what am I to you?" he said dramatically with fake crocodile tears in his eyes before continuing with the mocking act " if I could stay with you I would but I need an answer" the boy finished and returned to his previous stance clearly satisfied then he replied with an evil mocking smirk on his face " that is what I mean"

Kallen stared wide-eyed, blushing while gritting her teeth, that brat just recited to her what she told Lelouch before the Black knights betrayed him and she just realized how embarrassing it was but that wasn't the issue how did he know what she said at that time?, he didn't seem Black Knight so he couldn't have been one of the knightmare pilots that cornered her back then and he didn't seem Britannian so he couldn't have been with prince Schniezel and none of those have even heard her back then so how could he know?

Apparently the confusion was so clear on Kallen's face because he decided to answer her questions although it wasn't much of an answer "listen it doesn't matter how I know what matters is that I am willing to offer you the answer to the question you desire"

All the earlier questions forgotten another one more important to her crept to her mind "why should I believe anything you say when you don't even want to tell me your name?"

"Oh I won't tell you a thing, Lelouch himself will" once he was done talking he took out a small rectangular box from his pocket and threw at Kallen which she caught with ease.

"Now I understand that you requested to be the one to escort his majesty during tomorrow's meeting" the boy started "if you decide to take me up on my offer place this on him and leave the rest to me"

At this Kallen was interested in what was in the box so she decided to open it and check the contents. When she looked in the box she saw a small listening device. It was at that moment that realization hit her…..

"You mean…" Kallen started to question before he cut her off

"Yes, you are going to place that bug on his majesty and after the meeting you can listen as I interrogate him for you"

"And why will he answer you?"

"Well I am his accomplice just like CC the only difference is that I joined the game a little bit later than she did" answered the boy

"But why don't you place it" questioned Kallen

"You are the one who wants answers so in case you go back on your word you can always throw it away" he said

"But how am I supposed to get it on him" Kallen questioned again

This time a devilish grin found its place across his face before he started "a woman has her ways dear Miss Kozuki you should know that" after he uttered those words he vanished through the door leaving Kallen to fully grasp what he just said and blush like a tomato.

She tried to chase him but when she got out the hallway was empty and without a soul in sight.

She stood there holding the box in hand and thinking about what the mystery boy told her and his offer to interrogate Lelouch.
