Me: Wow, Code Geass has its own category now! I will eat three bowls of rice today!
Haru: Stop, you eat too much already. /smacks/
Disclaimer: Code Geass belongs to the hateful Sunrise. /evil glare/
Things to consider when reading this: This is AU fic. Suzaku is seven and Lelouch is about fourteen, fifteen. And Lelouch has already made the Black Knights and set up an identity as Zero. There some twists and turns so watch out!
And it will contain some shouta (which means appeal to young boys, wow that sounds so wrong in many ways….).
Coupling will be LelouchxSuzaku. Yaoi

The smell of smoke filled his nose as he ran past red torii of Kururugi Shrine. With little Kaguya on his back, he hurried toward the little shelter near the mountains. She has been crying, but she has tired herself out and was limply sleeping of his back. He breathed out roughly as little beads of sweat trail down his neck.
"Damn Britannia…." He cursed under his breath. His eyes went blur, and tears began to fall from them.
Behind him, the big temple was burning to the ground by massive air ships. People who survived the fire screamed and hollered. Death could be seen, smelled, and heard. And it was horrible.
He quickly wept his eyes and began to run faster. His feet hurt from running so much, and his legs were tired from carrying extra weight, but as if driven by fear, he couldn't stop running.
Then he started to hear gun shots. Terribly loud "bang" echoed throughout the woods. He tried not to think about who has shot it or who was shot. However, his arms began to shake own their own, and he cursed again, this time at himself for being so weak. Kaguya feeling the disturbance woke and began to softly cry again.
"It's okay, Kaguya. I am right here." He reassured with shaking voice and turned around to face her. The little girl sniffed couple of times and nodded her head warily.
He smiled at her, and she sheepishly smiled back.
But suddenly from her smiling mouth came out red liquid. His face paled, feeling life drain out from his cousin. She went limp again, but was dangerously cool.
When he was about to call her name, he felt something piercing through his right leg. He cried out in pain and fell to the ground, the cold corpse of his cousin on top of him.
From his fading vision he saw two men dressed in black cautiously approaching them. He wanted cry out for help, plead for his life, but he getting too tired. And he was sure if he slept the pain in his thigh would go away.
Then the darkness took him away.

"Sir, the informant has reported that Kururugi shrine was destroyed by Britannia ship. No survivor was seen."
In a large spacious room, a girl about seventeen wearing all black stood tall near the door way. She talked very clearly with high respect to whoever she was talking to. The figure who has been sitting on sofa faced opposite side of which the girl was standing. He was wearing some kind of metal mask and tight fitting black clothing. His long cloak was neatly placed beside him.
He has stopped reading the stack of paper as she reported the news to him. The room was completely silent for couple of seconds. He let out a sigh and put the papers on the low table before him and stood up, grabbing his cloak as well.
"… Very well, we will search for any survivor. Kallen, ready squad number 0 and 2 for the search."
The girl, Kallen, nodded swiftly. "Yes, Zero."

The green trees stirred in the breeze and the summer bugs sang loudly. The sunflowers looked towards the sun; its bright yellow petals made him smile. The sky had white fluffy clouds floated lazily by. And he was lying on the grass, enjoying the things that surrounded him.
Aah, he loved summer. It was the best season of the year. Everything was so lively and vivid.
He wished he could live here forever in this utopia
But he woke with the start as he heard loud shouts. He squinted his eyes as most ugly smell entered his nostril. In his blur vision, he saw Kaguya staring blankly at him, her skin pale as snow and nasty, dried-up blood trailing down her mouth. Tears began to form and he let out a cry.
"I knew it, he is alive." A man wearing black coat and pants grunted. He was wearing red headband and a long rifle. He grunted some more and then shouted to someone. "Hey, over here! There is kid and he's alive… barely."
Then there was sound of footsteps and more shadows crowded around him.
The little boy's tear filled eyes darted to their faces. They all had somewhat sorry expressions of their faces as they glumly looked at him. He could tell they felt pity for him, dying on the dirt like some animal. Well, he didn't like it one bit. He was proud man of honour and he was not look down by some goons.
The boy glared at them with fierce green eyes and for a moment, the crowd was taken back by how strong it looked.
"Whoa, he's giving us quite a glare." The man who was first by him said jokingly and laughed awkwardly. The others followed quietly chuckling or giggling.
"Tamaki-san," this time a girl's voice called out, "how bad is he hurt?"
A girl who was previously speaking to the figure called Zero approached them. The girl, Kallen, squatted next the little boy and curiously peered at the glaring eyes.
Tamaki, or rather the man who had previously spoken, said in lazy tone. "Looks like he was shot on the legs – he bleed almost half of his system out. But he is somehow managing to give us the evil eye." Kallen nodded. "Right we should move him to a safer place." She began to reach out to him.
"Get away from ...me!!" The little boy screamed with his last energy at her. He tried to stand up, but his numb legs and dizziness won't let him. The pink-haired girl looked amazed at first, but she glared down at him and grabbed his right arm, pulling him up easily.
"Listen up, you brat! We're trying save your sorry ass, so don't you get a funny idea that you're some kind of big shot."
She shouted at him with force and the little boy's glare worsened. He bit his lip in frustration. He hated to admit it, but she was right. He was in need of help and he'll probably die if they don't take him to a hospital soon.
His eyes shifted momentarily to Kaguya's body. Then he closed his eyes in pain – a pain that somewhat felt different than the numbness in his leg. He wanted to cry again, but he forced his tears back.
"Kallen, handle him more gently." This time male's voice said to the Kallen. She immediately directed her attention to the direction of voice. And the little boy by reflex stared blankly at that direction as well.
Zero emerged from the nearby bush, wearing his black mask and cloak. He gestured towards the little boy with his gloved hand and said, "That boy is Prime Minister's son, Kururugi Suzaku. He might help us in the future." Kallen looked down suspiciously at the boy, but did not dare deny Zero's remark.
The boy or rather now known as Suzaku looked shocked at the ominous man in front of him. "Who… are you ... people?" He whispered.
Zero seemed to chuckle and spread his arms, bowing his head. The movements were playful; he was simply humouring him.
"We are the Black Knights. Pleasure to make your acquaintance, Kururugi Suzaku."
Suzaku closed his eyes shut.
He wished all this was nightmare and he would wake up on that other world.
That utopia where summer never ended

Meeting of the Prince and Knight

Me: Kyaah, I think the storyline moved too fast. And I killed off Kaguya because she gets on my nerves in the series. /smile/ I guess it's revenge? And Kallen is as usual Zero fan. Now, I must fit everyone else into this big mess.
Haru: Why in the world did you make Suzaku seven again?
Me: Because I am Shouta-Com!! But not really, I thought it would be more interesting this way. But I guess seven years apart in kind of a crime. /scratch her head/
Haru: Gee, ya think so? Well folks, wait for the next exciting episode!
Me: It's exciting/looks at her script/
