…The Gods made me do it. THEY MADE ME.

"...You will not let anyone know about this while you are there. If anyone were to find out, you are to return to base and report all of your findings early," a man ordered, his eyes darkened to match the dark-filled office. Before him was a kneeling teenager, who looked up briefly. "You got that?"

The boy gave a curt, serious nod. "...Yes. I will do as you command. In the name of honor." The man smiled an almost invisible smile. He trusted his subordinate would carry out his task.

He silently handed a manila folder filled with information to the boy and watched as they left the office. He smirked and glanced down at a paper with the coordinates on his desk. "Prepare yourself, Ashford Academy, for things are about to get very interesting for you..." With his finger he ominously traced the image of the prestigious learning center on his map.

Later that week, a certain Middle School received a new student. Nunnally Lamperouge wasn't able to see what was going on, but she still heard that bright, hope-bringing voice.

"Hello. I'm Syaoran Li and I will be staying here. I hope we get along well!" the brunette boy in the front of the room said cheerfully. Nobody saw the cold and calculating look he briefly gave all the students. He masked it up with a charming smile.

It was just a normal day for Ashford Academy's Student Council. Which obviously meant they were in chaos. Once again Rivalz made an attempt to get everyone to drink champagne, and much to Kallen's annoyance, it sprayed all over her again. As Kallen left to take a shower and Milly was busy chewing out Rivalz, a girl came in on a wheelchair.

"Everyone sounds so lively today! Are we planning another event?" Everyone's attention tore to their honorary member and... "Oh, that's right! I forgot! Everyone, this is Syaoran! He's a new student in my class and I was wondering if he could become an honorary member like me!" Nunnally faced the council happily.

The boy next to her yelped out, "EHH? M-Me, a member? On my first day!" He panicked.

Milly immediately started to laugh. "What a great idea! It's been a while since we inducted someone into the council!" She grabbed the boy's hands. "Welcome to the Student Council, Syaoran! You are officially an honorary member!" The others started to clap as soon as they comprehended the whole situation, and Lelouch gave a small pat to Nunnally's head.

"Congrats, Nunnally. You got yourself a friend the same age as you," he said, smiling softly. Nunnally giggled.

Meanwhile poor Syaoran was left utterly confused about what just happened.

In one of the hallways, a person flattened their back against the wall. It was an unnecessary move, as the lights were turned off. But they had to keep from getting caught.

The student slipped out a headphone set and turned it on. "I'm here. I made it to the academy safely and made some acquaintances. No one suspects a thing," he whispered. He paused and waited for the other end to finish speaking. "Well, no. Nothing suspicious at all. Are you sure this is the right school?" He quieted again. "Yes. You're right, again. I have to go, before somebody notices my absence. Goodbye, sir."

He turned off the speaker and tucked it away in his bag. Then he ran off, back to being a normal Ashford Academy student.
