It's been months since my last update…! I really got so busy with my studies especially with our feasibility study. All my writing capabilities are used in that subject ass well as my expertise in business. Well, this chapter 3 is not related to any of the previous chapters of this fanfic…and was written during the time when our manuscript for the feasib is to be submitted the next day and I don't have a computer for me to use because of the recent typhoons here….hahaha!

Chapter 3: You found the perfect love, but you must be loyal to someone else.

Kallen is lying on her bed inside her room in the Black Knights Headquarters. Inside her mind was the previous battle that happpend just a few hours ago.

Their battle was so intense that they almost killed each other. She lost her control, and so he was. Why the battle got into that point, she had no idea. Maybe, it's because of the revealed truth between them.

From out of nowhere, her phone rang. Her phone's screen shows who the caller is. It took her few seconds to decide to accept the call. Hesitating to talk to the caller.

Kallen: Hello… (She answered hesitantly).

Suzaku: You finally answer your phone. I've been trying to reach you these past few days. Wondering why you're not coming to school. (He is talking in his calmest and most tender voice.

Kallen: I've finally gathered enough courage to answer your call.

Suzaku: Why were you on the opposite side of the battlefield?

Kallen: I do not know either. It's just that I wanted to give my mother a fair world.

Suzaku: I've promised that to you, a year ago. Do you still remember?

A long silence followed. He almost thought their conversation is over. Then he heard her sobbing on the other end of the line.

Suzaku: Happy anniversary, Kallen…

Kallen: Happy anniversary, too. And I'm sorry. I know we've promised not to keep secrets to each other. But..

Suzaku: Would there still be next anniversary?

Again, a long silence followed.

Suzaku: Can you still go back to my side?

Kallen: I'm afraid it's too late. I've involved too deeply now. I'm his protector, his shield.

Suzaku: I won't tell anyone….

Kallen I'm really sorry. I've given him my loyalty.

Suzaku: Wasn't your loyalty not included the moment you decided to be my girlfriend?

Kallen: my loyalty towards him is same as your loyalty to your princess….

Suzaku: Will this our last time to celebrate our anniversary?

Kallen: I'll promise you my next ten lifetimes, but not this one. I'm really sorry.

Suzaku: I'll wait for you until the war is over.

Kallen: Will you? I cannot promise to be gentle on you in the battlrfield.

Suzaku: Me as well. I can't help it since it's my duty.

Another long silence followed in the air.

Suzaku: So, is this goodbye for good?

Kallen: Maybe…

Suzaku: Then, till next time…Goodby and…I love you.

The line was cut. He didn't even gave her the chance to say goodbye. She tried to sleep, even for just a while.. she feels really tired. Physically, mentally and emotionnaly.
