One day Suigintou walked through the streets of Tokyo. She was doing some shopping for Shinobu’s 7th birthday party. It seemed as though her motions were suddenly stopped by a young man in a black cloak. She wasn’t sure what his intentions were, so she let her massive wings spring from her back, ready to kill him.
“Geass…”
At these words she was his puppet, or so he thought. The boy was Lelouch Lamperouge, and he was under the impression that his power of Geass had indoctrinated the woman. He spoke to her as if she were a commoner, unaware that she was neither under his control, or able to succumb to it.
“You are the wife of Kai Takeda are you not?”
“I am.”
“Where is he?”
“He is at Azuchi Castle with our children.”
“Take me to him.”
“Not on your life.”
A snide smile spread across the dark maiden’s crimson painted lips, she had fed from Kai before leaving home, and was more than ready to kill him if the issue called for such measures. The boy couldn’t understand why his Geass failed. Was she a robot, or perhaps already some spell, he was baffled. All the same, he pulled a gun from his waist and aimed it at the woman.
“You will die just as your husband my lady.”
“My husband can’t be killed, don’t you know?”
“Know what?”
“We were both killed by an assassin; as a result, we are immortal.”
“Hmm, I see….This will change my strategy a bit.”
“Yes, it will, would you like to meet our children Lelouch?”
“Who is this ‘Lelouch’ you speak of?”
“The castles at the top of Dogenzaka Hill, the party starts at 3 p.m., don’t be late.”
At that mention, Lelouch froze. Not only had his Geass not worked, but he was already discovered! He couldn’t understand what was happening; maybe this demon would be more of a challenge than he thought. C.C. walked up behind him and began to speak, the mockery in her voice was to much to hide.
“I think you were just what gamers called pwned Lelouch.”
C.C. looked at the woman and let a chuckle escape, thinking the looked somewhat similar, and she’d love to attend a party for a change, so much of the land was at war, it was nice to see a family enjoying themselves.
As Suigintou walked into the castle, she was greeted by her daughter, and today’s birthday girl; Shinobu. Her long white hair was pressed, dressed, and braided in cat tails. She was giggling as she almost floated across the ground in her beautiful pink silk kimono. It was decorated with pink butterflies and black feathers, showing that she had matured from a child to a young adult.
“Kora mama!”
“Gashi purinsesu.”
“Huh?”
“Greetings princess.”
“Oh, I know, but only papa and Ryuu call me princess.”
“But today is a special day for you my dear.”
“I guess, where is papa?”
“In the white rose garden.”
The minute Shinobu gained that knowledge, she dashed off the go see her father, wondering if her grandfather had come back to see her as well.
Kai sat in the garden, a bit away from his father, staring at one another grimly, Ryuu had recently disappeared, but was returned now, and as such, Kai and Sui were worried. Kai’s father, being the omnipotent God of Wisdom, must’ve known. Shingen’s old yellow eyes were locked with his sons, and seemed to shine brighter as the argument progressed. His long white, stringy hair was kept up by the oni mask he constantly wore. These two tigers were certainly in a lock of thought, but Ryuu was the main concern.
“Where was he?”
“No idea.”
“Lies.”
“I swear on my life.”
“Easy vow for a dead man.”
“…I swear on her present.”
“…Alright.”
The apprehensive silence was broken by the little girl who had tackled Kai and locked her arms around his neck.
“Kora papa.”
“Kora waga koishii mitsukai.”
“Ni hao Ye Ye.”
“Ni hao Shinobu.”
