"How're we gunna explain why she doesn't know Lelouch or us?" Kiara whispered. "If we're not careful she could be big trouble." She paused and considered for a minute. "Well, more trouble than usual."

"I think Lelouch said something about pretending we had a fight, so Shirley's pretending not to know us," said Raina. "It would work if we just told the others to play along. I think Lelouch's already done that..."

"That's good," Kiara muttered. "And I could see Shirley doing that so we should be alright."
As they entered the council room they saw that Shirley was happily chatting away to Milly and didn't even glance at them when they entered the room. Kiara was glad for that.

(Back in a bit, piano lesson time is earlier than last week and then I'm having dinner when I get back so should be maybe an hour and a half before I'm back on.)

Hiiii ~" said Raina, glomping Lelouch when she was sure that Shirley was watching.

Kiara walked over to Lelouch.
"Hey," she said, opting for the less enthusastic greeting. Shirley was staring at Lelouch and Kiara discretely moved in front of him slightly to block him more from Shirley's view.
"Hey guys!" Milly said cheerfully.

Shirley blinked. "They're on the Student Council too? Since when?"
Milly rolled her eyes. "You got into a fight with them too? Whatever, fine!"
"Yeah, they've always been on the Student Council," grinned Rivalz.

Kiara smirked behind Shirley's back and ignored her after that, if she played along then hopefully they could all get through this without any trouble. Who was she kidding? Trouble was bound to happen! This wouldn't work forever after all.
"So," she said, walking up to the table and leaning agains't it. "Anything interesting happenin this week?"

"We have issues to get through, don't we?" said Lelouch pointedly. Raina knew instantly that he was referring to Mao.
"Yeah, you need to improve on your action," she said shamelessly. Lelouch went bright red.

Milly looked between Raina and Lelouch, her head tilted curiously to the side as she examined them like bugs under a microscope. Kiara snickered at the bright red blush on Lelouch's face; it really was too easy to embarrass him.
"Now now Lelouch," she said teasingly, putting an arm over his shoulders. "We all know that you're not the most physically fit person in the school. No need to be ashamed of it."

(This is really fun teasing him)

"That's not -" Lelouch protested.
"It's OK, Lulu," said Raina soothingly. She grinned at Shirley. "You got anything planned for this week Fenette-san?" She used the girl's surname for no reason.

Shirley looked at Raina before blushing and turning her head away. She was clearly thinking about Raina and Kiar'as words to Lelouch. Meanwhile said boy had managed to get control of his face and was glaring at the both of them. Kiara only grinned back at him.
"Come on," he muttered to them. "I have something I want to talk to you two about."
"Alright," Kiara said while shrugging. "Coming Raina?"

"Definitely, Lelouch needs to get to work on his practise right away," she grabbed hold of an objecting Lelouch and dragged him from the room.

Kiara followed behind them, lauhing loudly at the look on Lelouch's face. The others in the council room stared after them for a long time when the door closed.
"I will never understand them," Rivalz said deadpan.
"You're not the only one," Nina muttered.
Meanwhile Kiara had caught up to Raina and Lelouch and had threaded her arm with his on the oposite side of Raina.
"So," she said, dragging the 'o' out. "What was it you wanted to talk about Lelouch?"

*aaaargh my ears are burning!!! Accidentally watched a clip of code geass in english dub!!!*

"I have C.C. and the Black Knights out looking for Mao," said Lelouch. "I'm expecting a report from Ougi -"
His phone rang.

(Ouch! Are you okay? What clip was it and which voices were the worst?)

"Waw," Kiara commented dryly. "That was good timing.!
Lelouch glared at her before taking the phone out of his pocket and checking the screen before raising it to his hear and pressing the green button.
"Hello?"

*It was a clip of "Kallen and Suzaku's final battle". Wayyyy too cheesy! "I'm going to defeat you, Suzahku! then I'm going to stop Lelouch!" "If only you had justice on your side!" And the way they pronounce names too!!! And Gino's voice was way too deep*

"Right. Yes, all right." Lelouch hung up.
"Any luck?" asked Raina, but his face told her the answer already.
"Dammit," he said. "How on earth am I supposed to put him in check? What I need is -"
" - one more pawn?" C.C. came walking along, dressed in leggings, legwarmers, a short skirt and a beret which covered most of her hair.

(Ouch...I am sorry you had to hear that...They always ruin the voices...)

Kiara stared at C.C. for a moment before pulling herself together.
"Very nice outfit C.C.," she said, grinning.
"Thank you," C.C. replied before turning back to Lelouch who was staring intently at her.

"This is ridiculous," said C.C. "All this trouble when you could just use me as bait!"
"That's not -"
Suddenly, Lelouch's phone rang again. Somehow Raina knew that it was not Ougi phoning this time. She leaned close to Lelouch so she could hear what was being said.
"It's me, Lulu! And C.C.'s there too right? Put her on, I want to talk to her alone."

"Yeah right," Kiara said quietly. She didn't like this at all. Lelouch handed the phone over to C.C. who took it without a word. Kiara quickly opened a door and the four of them quickly made their way into an unocupied classroom.

*how's it gonna work if we can all hear what he says?*

(Okay good point, I'll just take that bit out)

C.C. stepped away from the others and talked softly so that they couldn't hear what she was saying. Then, she hung up and tossed Lelouch's phone back to him.
"Congratulations, Lelouch! You and I are now going our separate ways! I've decided to join Mao."

Kiara blinked at C.C. Did she hear right? She glanced to Raina and Lelouch before looking back to C.C.
"You're not serious?" she asked incredulously. "There's no way you can be serious!"
"I am," C.C. replied

"How much did he offer you?!" asked Raina.
"That's irrelevant. Anyway, goodbye," C.C. began to leave.
"Wait," said Lelouch. His left eye glowed as C.C. turned to face him. "I can't let you go. You know too much about me. Stay here, C.C.!"
C.C. took a step forward and Lelouch smirked, believing that it had worked.
"The geass doesn't work on me, didn't I tell you?"

Kiara stared at C.C. There was no way she was serious, she didn't believe it. Lelouch was staring at C.C.
"Whta do you mean it doesn't work on you?" he demanded.
"I gave you that Geass," C.C. replied.

(I can't exactly remember this part. I can remember C.C. telling Lelouch that it wouldn't work on her but not after that)
