I Will Remember You – Ryan Cabrera

Lelouch hated planes. She also never liked good byes and partings. Not before, not now and not ever. She never liked partings at all.

The last time someone she knew boarded the airplane, she never came back.

However, she knew that she couldn't be selfish… so she stayed back and waited quietly as she watched Suzaku who was surrounded by their friends who were giving him their farewells and good wishes.

She wanted to join the circle, to say good bye to him, and to wish him well… she didn't want to.

Because if she did, then there was a chance that Suzaku might never come back…

So she decided to slip away without saying anything at all.

Suzaku had noticed her leaving and looked for her. He found her on the waiting area not too far from where they were before. He sat on the bench behind hers. "So, eight years of friendship, I'm going away and you're not planning to say anything to me?" He asked her with a teasing tone.

Lelouch remained quite and she guessed Suzaku realized why she hasn't talked to him. She saw him sliding to sit next to her from the corner of her eyes.

She felt the familiar warmth on her shoulder before he pulled her into a gentle hug. "Lelouch, I promise that I will come back to you." He whispered gently to her.

"The last time someone said that to me, she never came back." She told him.

Suzaku released her and cupped her cheeks with his hands. "Lelouch, have I ever broken any of my promises to you?" He asked her, coaxing her to look at him in the eyes.

Lelouch shook her head, her eyes began to water with unshed tears. "No, you haven't."

"And so, I will promise you this, Lelouch. I will come back to you." Said Suzaku.

"Promise?" asked Lelouch. Suzaku nodded. "If you dare to lie, I will kill you myself, Suzaku." Said Lelouch, pulling away from his hold while glaring at him with the glare she has often graced him with. The exact same glare that made her Lelouch in his book and the one that made him fall in love with her.

Lelouch then took off the ribbon tying her hair together and tied it onto his wrist. "I want this back, this one's my favourite, so you better not lose it, and don't you dare take this off."

"Hai! I'll see you later Lelouch!" Suzaku gave her his goofy grin and she continued to watch him disappear into the throng of people. "See ya, baka."

Kimi no Kioku – Kita Shuuhei ver. Technically speaking, he brought all of this upon himself as it wasn't as if he couldn't refuse the offer.

However, it didn't make it any less lonely.

He missed Lelouch. He missed her hidden genuine smile (not those fake ones that she always gave to people), her voice, her arrogance, heck he even missed her glare. Life was never a dull moment with her around.

He looked at the ribbon tied around his wrist while his other hand reached over for Lelouch's picture. It was her picture during the cat festival. She was dressed in a dark purple skirt and top which didn't even cover her navel region properly, complete with dark purple cat ears, tail and paws. He suspected Milly purposefully gave Lelouch clothes that are two sizes too small for her, hence the length. In the picture, Lelouch was scowling darkly while trying to use her paws to cover her exposed skin in a futile attempt.

A smile graced his lips as he recalled the memory. It was probably one of the most disastrous festivals Milly ever came up with since he had spent the whole day protecting Lelouch from the beasts that was the student body.

He let out a sigh and looked at the calendar.

Three years and ten months before he can come back to her side and fulfill his promise to her. (Clearly, in his melancholic moment, he forgot that he could actually return home during the summer holidays…)

I want to be with you – Hsu Ji Er

Lelouch sighed for the umpteenth times within the last 15 minutes as she twirled her pen with graceful fingers. In front of her were the calculus questions, which needed to be solved if she wanted to finish her assignment… however, currently her mind was on something else and not the equations in front of her.

To be precise, her mind was on a certain idiotic brunette miles away across the ocean.

She sighed again and watched as the wind blew the pink sakura petals away. 'Sakura… the flower most commonly found in where Suzaku's family had came from.'

"Suzaku…" The name unconsciously slipped away from her lips. Upon realizing, she immediately sat up straight and berated herself for acting like a lovelorn teenager. (Well, technically, she is one… oh poor Lulu…)

She shook her head and decided to focus on the task in hand… alas, not one calculus problem solved, five minutes later, her mind had already wandered again to daydream about a certain brunette.

Lelouch sighed again.

Across from her, her brother Schneizel could only smile in amusement as he observed his lovelorn sister before he reached to his own pile of papers to mark.

Uptown Girl – Westlife

Lelouch closed her eyes and if one looked closely enough, they can clearly see that there was slight twitching under her eyes as her hands clenched even tighter… and all due to annoyance. Why was she annoyed?

Well, there was only one answer to that.

Suzaku.

Oh all the things in the world he could do to ask her to be his date for the dance, he just had to choose this method.

The humiliation method.

Don't you know I'm in love with an

Up town girl~ she's my up town girl

Twitch. He's sooo going to die when she gets her hands on him.

Twitch. Does this guy have no common sense at all? Wait, nevermind, he does, she was sure he does, just an idiotic and moronic kind.

Don't you know I'm in love with an

Up town girl~ she's my up town girl

"Alright, alright! I'll go with you!" screamed Lelouch from the open window of the student council office, flushing bright red in embarrassment.

Down below, in the midst of the cheering of possibly the whole campus population, stopped serenading Suzaku grinned stupidly at her. Then, not minding the audience, he screamed in the native tongue, which he knew she would understand, "Aishiteru Lelouch!"

She blushed even more and with Milly smiling slyly beside her with that evil glint in her eyes, Lelouch wondered why she even agreed to go out with one Suzaku Kururugi to begin with.

Foolish – Mitsumune Shinkichi

Lelouch gingerly opened the Suzaku's door and peeked inside. Her smile grew wicked when she noticed that he was still asleep, oblivious to the world and most of all, oblivious of what fate she's going to subject him into.

She carefully pushed the door open and with the load in her hands, she tiptoed carefully across the room and stood beside his bed. She lifted up the cover and threw the load in her hand into it, quickly evacuated the room and closed it behind her.

She gracefully sat on the couch with her now cooling coffee and pretended to watch the news and waited for the reaction.

Sure enough, seconds later, she was rewarded for her hard work.

"YE-OUCH!" screamed Suzaku. "Arthur! That hurts!"

She evilly snickered into her cup. Served Suzaku right for embarrassing her yesterday, in front of the whole student body.

You are Love – Josh Groban

Two people stood facing each other; the boy looked at the girl in front of him lividly while the girl looked at everywhere but at the brunette. "Suzaku, I-"

"How could you do that? I hate you." Suzaku cut her off and with one last glare he turned on his heel and left her.

"Suzaku! Wait!" She ran and grabbed his hand. "It's not what you think!"

"Let go! It's not what I think! If that's not it, then what it! You were both so cozy with each other and you say it's not what I think!" He roughly tore his hand away from her grip.

"Because you clearly misunderstood the situation!" She screamed at him. "It really wasn't what you think it was!"

"Then what was it that I saw?" He screamed back at him. "I clearly saw you kissing and hugging your lover boy!"

She clenched her fists, shut her eyes closed to control her temper and opened her eyes to glare at him. "Baka! Don't degrade him! That was my brother you're talking about!"

Silence ensued… The cricket inside some random bush finally decided that it was safe to make a sound…

Suzaku blinked stupidly at the girl in front of him before the girl turned and left with an annoyed huff. "Well, Kururugi, you obviously don't have enough trust on me, so good bye."

"Wait, Lelouch! I'm sorry for suspecting you!" wailed Suzaku as he chased after the retreating girl.

Glamorous Sky – Nana starring Nakashima Mika

The lights were turned off, leaving the room in total darkness, fans started to chat in excitement as silhouettes of five people took stage. Bass and guitar were strummed, the drum set was hit experimentally with the help of the sound system, causing the voice to travel across the room and echo loudly.

The guitar started to pick up as lights on the stage were turned on and fans began screaming, going wild. The vocalist kept her back to the audience.

She started singing; her smooth and melodious alto voice was definitely suited for this kind of song.

akehanashita mado ni mawaru ranbu no DEEP SKY AH aoide...

Normally he wouldn't even bother to go to watch there underground indies bands. However, Lelouch made him go reasoning that she couldn't make it but she loved the band so much that he should go in her place and tell her all about it later. He had said no, but with her secret weapon laid out (a.k.a. her fake depressed mode), he caved in and agreed.

"kurikaesu hibi ni nan no imi ga aru (no)?" AH sakende...

Still, he wondered why Lelouch was so adamant on him going to watch the concert…

… it wasn't until the singer finally turned to face the audience that he almost keeled over in shock.

A wink from the singer and he had to stifle a laugh.

Who knew that Lelouch could dress and sing like that?

A rocker Lelouch was definitely something out of his dictionary, or even the world.

What he didn't know was that Milly had blackmailed Lelouch into singing and inviting him to watch him…

CHALLENGER – Diggy-MO'

They say the road of love is harsh and the hardest one to walk in. That saying couldn't anymore be more true to one Kururugi Suzaku. Especially when Lelouch's siblings (and father) found out that he was actually currently in the 'more than a friend' stage with Lelouch.

Normally, the rest of Lelouch's sibling would be more than happy to welcome him to their 'humble abode' (which to Suzaku actually looked more like a castle than an 'abode').

However, now that they found out… that was a totally different story.

No wonder Lelouch was adamant on keeping their relationship a secret… but of course, being an idiot that he is, he just blabbed to Nunally, who told her twin Rolo, who told Euphemia, who told Cornelia, who told Clovis, who told Schneizel (who was already suspicious of their relationship), whose father found out when he accidentally walked in on the Britannia siblings (yes, even the sweet Nunnally and kind Euphemia) while they were (possibly) plotting for Suzaku's demise for 'seducing' their lovely sister.

Oh yes… the Britannia family was a protective one, especially when it comes to Lelouch. Then again, it's for a good reason. Lelouch was the center of the family, the family pretty much revolved around her… so when a scoundrel, such as him (as Cornelia labeled him as) pranced along and tried to steal Lelouch away, the divine punishment must be handed down.

Suzaku of course viewed this situation as a knight shining in armor (him) trying to rescue the princess (Lelouch) from the evil dragon(s) (the Britannia siblings and father).

On the other hand, the Britannia family viewed this as a thief (Suzaku) trying to steal the family heirloom (Lelouch) from the family (them).

So with the bravery (or stupidity) of a guardian god that he was named after, Suzaku boldly marched into the enemy's stronghold.

Unfortunately for him, he was never informed that during four years of absence, there were at least 200 challengers trying to win over the dragons' favor.

The winner? None.

Meanwhile, Lelouch obviously had no say whatsoever in the matter which actually involved her…

Kiss me Good-bye – Angela Aki

Ever since her family found out that she and Suzaku were dating, Lelouch was pretty much detained in her own room and was banned from meeting Suzaku. Apparently her siblings and father had set the 'protect Lelouch from the scoundrel Suzaku by banning her from meeting him and vice versa' policy in motion. Thus now she wasn't even allowed to go out without her bodyguards (a.k.a. siblings… because just one wasn't enough…) in tow.

As touched as she was at the care her siblings have towards her, she was rather annoyed… she wanted to see Suzaku! Can't they see that she was miserable without her Suzaku dose of the day?

Lelouch deliberately ignored Schneizel's call through her locked doors in favor of Suzaku's picture that she had managed to save from her sibling's evil clutches (they had burned them all that they took!).

Just as she was wishing that she could see the baka in real person, a knock was heard from outside her balcony.

Lo and behold, apparently her wish was answered and Suzaku was standing with his stupid smile in all of his regalia, which involved leaves and branches on his hair.

"Suzaku!" Lelouch threw herself at him. "How'd you get here?" She asked him though she already knew the answer.

"I climbed the tree there." He replied. "I missed you."

"You should." She replied in mock arrogance as they both leant in for a kiss.

Alas, luck wasn't on their side as Schneizel decided to use the spare key and unlocked her door just as they kissed.

"YOU SCOUNDREL!" Cornelia screamed in fury.

The couple in crime froze. "Uh-oh. Sorry, gotta run Lelouch." Said Suzaku.

"Kururugi!" Bellowed her father who was apparently there as well. "How dare you defile my daughter's lips with your dirty mouth!"

Suzaku then kissed her once more before he jumped down from her balcony (and miraculously, still alive without even a scratch despite the fact that it was from the third floor). She guessed that kiss was to spite her older siblings and father.

"See you tomorrow night!" Suzaku yelled at her as he made his retreat.

And she knew tomorrow her siblings would increase their protection… though she knew as well that it won't stop Suzaku from coming to see her. He's an idiot that way, but he was her idiot.

Fukai Mori – Do As Infinity

Lelouch always dreamt that a romantic date would involve going to a fancy restaurant with subtle classical music playing in the background as they ate their dinner while shyly stealing glances at each other. Then they'd watch an opera or some other kind of stage performances.

But as she lied down next to Suzaku in the middle of clearing in the forest behind the Kururugi Shrine on the blanket he had brought after eating the food he had brought in the picnic basket, Lelouch thought that this kind of romantic date was fine too. After all, it was the quality that mattered, not the quantity.

Still, no matter how nice it was, she'd definitely make Suzaku carry her down the slope. There was so much physical activity she could in a day.
