(Okay, he jsut wasn't mentioned so I wasn't sure if he was there or not)

Kiara tried her best to not strangle the girl in front of her. Shirley looked exactly like Inoue it was scary. And she couldn't just wear the pink top and jeans that Inoue wore in the soul society or the school uniform. She just HAD to wear that outfit! Her hand twitched towards the wooden sword she carried.
"Hi everyone!" shirley said brightly, not looking at Kiara and Raina. "Ooh! Lulu! You look so hanesome as Byakuya!"
Kiara fought back the bile in her throat at that. Right now she felt very, very sorry for Lelouch.
"Alright gang!" Milly said cheerfully. "Now that everyone's here let's get this party started!"

*Yeah, I did mention him*

Raina glanced at Kiara and saw that she was experiencing the same thing she was. Raina was getting so mad she was losing control. The hem of Shirley's outfit ripped. She glanced down at it, confused, and Lelouch managed to escape in order to enter a hurried conversation with Rivalz.

(Sorry, I looked back and you did, I jsut fergot about him)

Kiara noticed Shirley's outfit tare itself and looked over to see Raina with a surprised expression on her face.
"You might wanna reign in your Geass," she whispered. "It can flare up when you're angry or feeling a strong emotion. Trust me, losing control is not something you want to do." She should know. She walked over to Kallen and the two started talking.
"You suit being Rukia," she told Kallen.
"Thanks," Kallen replied, smiling.

(Gotta go, it's a school night and Mam wants me in bed.)

Raina knew she was right. It was just an outfit, even if it was exactly like having Inoue in the flesh right in front of her. Remembering the scene where she slapped Ulquiorra wasn't helping, so she quickly ran over to join Kiara and Kallen.
"Hey, Raina!" Rivalz called. "Do some juggling again!"
"I believe my name is Yoruichi," she called back. "And sorry, but all I can do is turn into a cat."

The party lasted for a while and Kiara had to admit that it was one of the best parties that she'd ever been to. Admitedly it would've been better without Shirley/Inoue there but she igonred the orangette and had a good time. She spent a bit of time studying Lelouch. He seemed to suit playing a noble rather well. His demenour seemed to match Kuchiki Byakuya's exactly and the way he carried himself was definitely aristocratic like...almost to the point of it being natural. She frowned at the thought. She was then distracted as Kallen started a conversation about Zanpakuto.

Raina gave in to Rivalz and started juggling people's wooden swords, in the end catching one of them in her mouth. Before she knew it, the party was over and they were on their way back to their rooms.
"That was fun..."

Kiara smiled.
"Yeah," she said, pulling off her wig as they entered the room. "It was fun."
She carefully removed her outfit and put it carefully away, adding her arrancar boots and the mask to the pile in the drawer before closing it carefully. "We'd better get some sleep. We've got a lot of work to do this weekend."
Her mind drifted to what Lelouch had said. She frowned as she thought.
'What are you planning Lelouch?' she silently thought.

"Yes, Lelouch says we're going hiking to the Narita mountain range," said Raina. "I'm not quite sure what to bring though..."

"My advice, bring plenty of weapons," Kiara said, pulling her bed covers over herself. "I have a strange feeling that we'll need them."

"Weapons..." said Raina, looking through her bags. She had a handgun and an assortment of knives. These did not come from home, of course - her step mother would never pack such things. She received these shortly after joining the Black Knights. She packed them in a bag and went to bed.
"Early start tomorrow," she said, setting her alarm, before going to sleep.

Kiara rose earlier than usual the next morning and quickly slipped on her Black Knight's uniform. She walked over to Raina's bed and shook her gently to wake her up. She had a feeling that it would be best to get the the Headquarters earlier. She only had so many weapons here and she wouldn't mind picking up a couple more she had at the base, just in case.

"Huh? What? Five more minutes..." said Raina, and started to go back to sleep when her alarm went off. Cursing, she knocked it over onto the floor and the battery fell out.
She sat up in bed and remembered what was happening today. "Oh yeah, hiking... Narita."
She pulled on her black knights uniform and grabbed her bag.

"Let's go," muttered Kiara and the two girls headed off campus.
'I'm surprised no one's noticed us sneaking off so much,' Kiara thought. She voiced this thought to Raina.
"I mean," she continued. "It isn't as if we're being too subtle about it. We're sneaking off the school grounds so often and no one seems to care or notice."

"People here sleep late and spend night time either inside with their friends or studying, or outside with their girlfriends or boyfriends," said Kallen, joining them. "But it's best to wear the visor just in case."
Raina slung her bag over her back. "Let's take the rail to the HQ this time, I'm tired of walking."

"Now while we're in uniform," Kiara pointed out "We'd be spotted too quickly and I doubt that's something we want to happen. I mean, think of the headlines. "Black Knight opperatives caught while traveling on the train doing some sight seeing" I'd personally prefer to avoid something like that."

Raina sighed. "Next time I'm changing into my uniform when I get to HQ. It's such a drag having to walk. Especially after all the drinks I had last night..." her head was still pounding, but she managed to walk teh relatively short distance to the HQ, where they were loading up the Knightmares.
"Kiara, Raina, you come with me," said Zero/Lelouch. "We are going ahead of the rest to make sure the area is secure."
"Osu, Zero!" said Raina, making a clumsy salute.

"Got it Zero-sama." Kiara said. SHe helped Raina over to Lelouch/Zero and the three of them took off before the other Black Knights.
"So," Kiara said when the three were alone. "What exactly are you expecting Lelouch? And what are you planning?"

"Can you not talk so loud please, Kiara...?" Raina moaned, clutching her head.
"The headquarters of the Japanese Liberation Front is in the Narita mountains," said Lelouch, removing his mask. "And today, Brittania is going to strike there. They will most likely block off all roads before they begin the operation, so they will not be expecting us. It is a perfect opportunity to strike against Cornelia."
"You too, Lelouch..."

Kiara mulled over the plan in her hea.d It was a good one. By attacking Cornelia while she was occupied with the JLF they would get an advantage and any advantage was a good one in times of war.
"A good plan," she said calmly. "Where will you, me and Raina be during this?"

"I will be co-ordinating the attacks," said Lelouch. "You two said you could pilot Knightmares well enough?"
"Yes we can..." said Raina.

"I should be able to manage pioleting one even though I prefer close combat." Kiara said. "That doesn't have a place in this fight so I'll piolet a Knightmare. Are there any specific targets besides Cornelia that we should be on the look out for? Other than Cornelia and that white Knightmare I mean."

"There will presumably be other Generals, but Cornelia is the main target. If we capture Cornelia, the battle is ours," said Lelouch. "Right now, though, we are going out to neutralise the scouting posts that the JLF presumably have. This is an operation which requires subtlety so that's why we geass users are doing it."

Kiara nodded in agreement. "How long will it take us to reach the mountain range?"
"Not much longer," Lelouch replied. "I suggest you get any extra rest you need. You will eed to be fully alert for this mission."
"Got it Lelouch." she said. She looked at Raina. "You probably should've taken a hang over tablet or something before we left."

"Hang over tablets? You get those?" Raina groaned and rolled into a ball. "Everything's too loud!"

Kiara rolled her eyes. "Hey Lelouch, you got any asprin?"
Lelouch nodded and from somewhere pulled out a small bottle. She raised an eyebrow at him.
"Sometimes I have a headache after the student council meetings," he explained. Kiara took that as code for 'Shirley gives me a large headache so I take these to try and get rid of it.'
Kiara took the bottle from his hand and then passed it to Raina along with a bottle of water.
"Here," she said. "Hopefully this'll help."
