I just uploaded the last scene from Code Geass onto my mp3-player and I just finished the Death Note manga in one fell swoop. It struck me on how similar Light and Lelouch's plans were and how-well- branched out they became, as well as how similar the two characters are in terms of personality. So, I decided to make a fanfic comparing and contrasting the two. Please enjoy and review honestly.

The White King-
The Black King-
The one who would stay on his pedestal, commanding his troops, sending out his pawns to die.
The one who leaped off his pedestal, leading his troops, going forth into battle.
Light
and
Lelouch.
Quick note- Lelouch is very weak, at least physically. In the second season, he was trying to catch up with the tomato truck that held CC and he fell behind, Suzaku, Shirley, Villeta, Kallen in a mascot uniform, eventually slowing down and completely stopping to catch his breath, even though he only ran a small distance. Then Milly passed him wearing a hoop skirt. And even she was going faster than him.
Meanwhile, Light seems very athletic, or slightly above average. Those who saw his tennis match against L know what I mean.
Reviews are appreciated, as always. In fact, they have quickly become a drug and if I don't get enough opinions about it, I'll be very disappointed.
