It was a calm, quiet day at Ashford Academy. Lately the usual threat of a sudden strike at the black knights seemed nonexisted, as if they were never there. Despite this peace, Lelouch Lamperouge hated his current situation. In the shadows, he was Zero, the notorious leader of the black knights. Right now, he was in the confines of the student council room, listening to another one of the council president Millay's plans for another school dance. "So, it's agreed! We're going to have a school dance on Friday!" Lelouch couldn't care less. Usually when it came to Millay's frequent dances he would simply skip them. The one she was planning, however, was different. "Oh, yes, and before I forget, Lelouch." She turned towards him. "Don't forget that you and Shirley will be dancing the waltz together for the first part of the dance." Shirley blushed upon the thought of dancing with Lelouch. Lelouch, however felt a certain discomfort at this, as the dance will interfere with his plan of attacking a sakuradite mining facility, the preparations for which was already done halfway. He felt reluctant not to go because skipping the dance would humiliate Shirley. Perhaps Millay knew this fact and used it to her advantage. "Oh,yes, and Suzaku will be back on friday in time for the dance, and hopefully I'll be able to get him into the program." The fact that Suzaku was coming only made his situation worse. Knowing Millay, she may have already told about the entire dance to him before she told everyone about the dance. If he didn't go, then Suzaku would surely be certain that he was Zero. It was no use. He had to go. There was only one problem for him, though. He can't dance.
"Why does it have to be me." He thought as he walked towards his private quarters in the black knight headquarters. Entering his quarters, he saw C.C. recling on the couch, watching television whilst consuming a slice of southwestern chiken pizza. An idea sparked in Lelouch's mind. "Of course! C.C.! She's been alive for hundreds of years, she must know how to dance!" After removing his Zero mask Lelouch walked over to C.C. Beffore he could ask, she answered him already.
"No."
"But I didn't even tell you..."
"You want me to teach you how to dance."
"Who told..."
"Rolo. You'd be surprised at what he'd do for a box of gelatin. Apparently, he's planning on making an edible sculpture of you."
"Give me one good reason why you shouldn't teach me how to dance!" Lelouch demanded, his voice filled with anger at C.C.
"Let me see..." C.C. put down the remote and faced Lelouch. "I'd rather eat pizza,I'd rather go to sleep,I'd rather watch television,I'd rather work, AND I'd rather watch you mess up your big dance."
Desperately wanting to choke C.C. for her indifference, Lelouch focused on thinking who could teach him how to dance. "I could enter a crash course in dancing? No, My time is already spread thin as it is. Perhaps Millay, or Shirley? Then again, Millay would LOVE to learn I can't dance, and Shirley would probably be to busy flinching upon hearing the opportunity. Rolo? Deithard? Lakshata? God, what am I thinking?" Lelouch clenched his forehead with his hand, trying to suppress his migraine.
"Why is this whole thing important anyway?" C.C. asked him, flipping through the channels on the television.
Lelouch himself did not know. Perhaps it was a natural desire for perfection. After all, he often grinded his teeth whenever reminded of his physical weakness. Maybe he longed to be with his friends, not just to use them as protection from Suzaku, but as they always did; Rivalz looking at Millay with a daze in his eyes, Shirley sturggling to tell him the simplest of things, and Millay grinning as she watches the events happening. He even missed seeing Nina, all quiet in one place, and Kallen, who seemed to have a far gaze whenever he saw her. Then an idea came to him.
"Kallen! Of course!" He thought. Lelouch hurriedly put on his Zero mask and ran to the black knight's training center. Sadly, running for Lelouch isn't exactly what most people call running. In fact, Lelouch was once outran by everyone in his class, even Millay wearing a tea party dress. Not a good day for the brilliant Zero. Lelouch arrived at the training room. It was filled with all manner of exercise machines, and at the center was sumo-style stage for sparring. There was no one in the room but Lelouch. Thinking of the various places she is right now, Lelouch heard the faint tune of a violin. As Lelouch walked deeper and deeper into the room, the music became louder. Lelouch saw a sliding door at the other side of the room, which seemed to be the source of the music. Curious, he opened the door and saw something that captivated him.
It was Kallen, wearing nothing but her usual yellow tanktop and a pair of skintight shorts. Her hair was down, the same way it was when she was still in Ashford. But what captivated Lelouch was her movements. From a simple Arabseque, Kallen seemed to explode as she moved at a startling and beautiful rate, dancing with the same speed and coordination as she did in battle. As the music weakened, she readied herself for the finishing touch; a mid-air pirrouete. Lelouch found what he had been looking for. As she fell back to the ground, Kallen lost her footing. Alarmed, Lelouch immediately caught her before she landed on her head. Their position was less than what Lelouch expected. Kallen fell face-first into his arms. To prevent himself from losing his own balance, and to bring a greater degree of control over Kallen's weight, he instinctively held her tightly, placing her soft, porcelain face onto his chest. This didn't help much though. Due to Lelouch's physical weakness, Lelouch fell onto the glass sliding doors. Due to the momentum of Lelouch's own fall, Kallens body became closer to his than before, their legs seemingly tangled together.
Outside the room, Kyoshiro Todoh was entering the training room. He usually spends 2 hours a day practicing his swordsmanship. When he heard a "thud" at the inner room, he ran, fearing a security breach. What he saw was anything but, depending on who's looking at Lelouch and Kallen's current position. "Ze-Zero-sama" Todouh said surprised. "My apologies." he bowed to them. Kallen was embarassed. "N-No, it's not what you think!" She tried to wave her hands to indicate the truth in her words, but could not. Lelouch had not yet let go of her. Shellshock, one might say. Too bad that's not what Todouh thought. "Please...continue. I will insure that no one will interfere." Todouh ran out and placed a "do-not-disturb" sign in front of the training room. When Tamaki asked why, Todouh showed his most serious face, capable of making grown men wet their boxers. Or in Tamaki's case, briefs.
Their privacy insured, Lelouch untightened his grip on Kallen. Lelouch smirked when he thought of Todouh's misunderstanding. Kallen did not share his amusement.
"So... It seems Zero shares Lelouch's perversion as well..." Kallen muttered.
"Well, we are the same person." He said, laughing.
"No you two are not!!" Kallen said furiously.
"Anyway, bringing our relationship to a whole new level is not why I am here, Kallen." Lelouch took off his mask so she can see him eye-to-eye."
"I need you to teach me to dance."
Author's notes:
It's been 3 months since I last posted something. I do hope no one is angry that I need therapy has not been updated, but there have been so many factors that made it difficult for me to write, what with school and hundreds of ideas for CG parodies crammed into my head. Last week, I was thinking of writing a power-rangers theme CG parody, and the week before that I was already half done with "Sayoko's Secret Ninja School". So, I decided to write this quick little kalulu story. The second part will most likely be posted in 2 days. Reviews are appreciated, flames are not.
