1 Chapter 1: Return

Lelouch yawned as he slowly walked down a somewhat busy street in the Japanese town of Kuoh. He rubbed his left eye to try to rub out the last vestiges of his sleep as he stopped once more to stare at the gates of a school. Rather, the school he attended.

'How in either my world or this one did I end up having to go to school again?!' Lelouch mentally groaned to himself as he tried to remember what he had done to deserve this.

Oh wait, that list was rather long actually. Being the Demon Emperor back in his world before his death had given him a rather… impressive list of sins.

A body count in the millions would have justified pretty much any punishment a God wanted to deliver unto him.

Still, he could not for the life of him remember how he had arrived in this world. The last thing Lelouch remembered was lying next to Nunnally as he slowly felt his heart stop beating as it had to deal with a rather large slice after he was pierced by Zero's blade.

And, even if he was meant to be punished by the God of his world, why in his Hell or any other would the Collective Unconscious choose to send him to another world as the punishment for his actions?

He was rather certain he deserved to rot in the deepest pits of Hell for his actions, despite the remorse he felt for his crimes and the fact that he all did it to try and create the peaceful world his beloved little sister deserved.

When attempting to become the most hated tyrant in history, whether he felt bad about it would mean nothing in the eyes of a God seeking to punish him.

He had considered that perhaps the reason he had been sent here was because his ultimate punishment wasn't to suffer in Hell, it was to be denied the right to see if he had succeeded in creating the world Nunnally desired, even if he could have only seen it from the underworld.

But he dismissed it as unlikely since he had already planned on being unable to see his world after he planned his own death.

It had to be another reason.

Lelouch was shaken from his depressing line of thought as he heard squealing from a bunch of teenage girls mixed with the sound of many, many kendo sticks smacking flesh.

"You freaks!" shouted one of the girls. "How dare you spy on us as we're changing!" She screamed incoherently and gave one final swing to hit the brown-haired boy between his legs.

The resulting crunch could have been the boy's equipment, or it could have been the bamboo sword snapping in two.

Either way, Lelouch cringed in minor sympathy even though he knew full well the boy and his two friends had at least some of that coming to them considering their rather open perverted tendencies.

The "perverted trio" as they were known were rather… infamous with how little traditional boundaries like changing rooms, or even bathrooms, meant to them if it prevented them from catching a peek at one of their classmates' more intimate areas.

He was genuinely surprised none of them had been arrested for sexual harassment yet, but guessed that there could be a few reasons why.

Perhaps, while the girls here were more than willing to beat them up for spying on them, they were reluctant to ruin their lives by giving them a criminal record with something like that.

As that required Lelouch to assume a great deal of personal decency on the part of every girl who had ever gotten peeped on by the trio, he felt it was rather unlikely.

He preferred his second theory and believed it was more likely there was someone in the school protecting the trio, or at the very least one of them, by making sure the incidents didn't leave the school.

Coming up with conspiracy theories was a fun pastime, but the fact remained that it was a genuine miracle none of the idiots had gotten arrested for being a public menace.

Lelouch sighed in irritation and decided it was a waste of time paying attention to the idiots as he made his way to class.

According to the records he had, which he had to request from the Japanese government, he was an emancipated minor born to parents from the United Kingdom, apparently this world's Britannia though far less powerful.

It still felt weird to consider the massive differences between this world's history and his own, but by far the strangest thing, well personal thing, was the fact that both of his parents in this world, had they even existed in the first place, were killed when he was nine years old.

The same age he had been when his mother had been murdered in his world. There was no cause of death given to him, all he knew was that they had left him a small home in the city in which he lived and a small, compared to what he was used to at least, amount of money thanks to their insurance.

His means of living were far more modest in this world, but it wasn't too bad. He wouldn't have to worry about money until he graduated high school at the very least. Though the fact that he was somehow legally considered sixteen kind of pissed him off.

He had spent two years, dear God that was a short amount of time now that he thought about it, waging war against his homeland and conquered the world when he was eighteen.

Being reset to the age of sixteen, the age he had been a year before he had begun his rebellion, made it seem like those two years hadn't even happened. Which, in this world, he supposed they didn't.

Still, he had conquered the damn world without graduating high school, he was pissed he had to go through all of the same crap again. Though, without Milly, at least things were far less insane at Kuoh Academy.
