Okay, then let me tell you! *gets water because it will be a lot of talking*
~~~~~~
(I hold the light and the darkness of my heart,)
Rika Kururugi, daughter of Zero. But to those that knew the truth, she was in fact Suzaku’s daughter. He hid behind a mask as to keep a peaceful reality continuing, as he lived a death. The death he had always wanted, was more bitter than he had hoped. But he had to continue living behind that mask, let the world believe the Knight of Zero was dead.
Only a few knew of Suzaku and they were his trusted scientists, Mr. and Ms. Lamperouge. He laughed at how it was strange that they were related to the friend he once knew. They understood what the Zero Requiem was, and understood the same as Suzaku. But, these secrets were only between them, never told to their children: Rika nor Higurashi, the Lamperouge’s daughter.
(Trembling while I embrace the shadows, moving me apart.)
Whenever Rika was to go to sleep, Suzaku would always have to tell her stories of the days he was a knight. From becoming Euphia’s knight to taking on the guise of Zero and killing the Demon Emperor. But, Rika always heard the stories a different way, for Suzaku was trying to protect Lelouch’s plan. He had to lie about a lot of the stories he told Rika. The plan. The plan.
But after that, to make Rika fall asleep, he would sing her a lullaby. A lullaby to show her to always fight for the future, a lullaby to help show her the way Lelouch always was about, but without ever mentioning the boy… Rika had to learn earlier that time had to continue and only those that fight for the future, will ever succeed. That is what Lelouch would have wanted.
(I can't give up all the dreams that I have chased,)
He knew his time was coming and he planned to have Rika continue the peace. But, it was still so early… He had to stay by her side, but also had to keep her safe. On that day, he made her go to Eriol Academy in England. To keep her safe from the evil that would come. Suzaku had once heard back in C’s World that Lelouch’s parents had sent him away to keep him safe, but they didn’t care to stay by their child’s side. Suzaku would be different. He won’t let Rika end up the same way that Lelouch fell. He promised to return for her.
(And my love will be there, and will come to me again with pride.)
As Suzaku made up his plan, and then faced the man that would end his life, the man that would actually kill him, Suzaku hoped that Rika wasn’t already on the path of the demon. The gun was shot and his body fell. The same moment, the BiDNAHybrid, Tsubasa, awoke from its sleep with the last essence of Suzaku in it.

(When I look to the sunset, All the colors, so beautiful)
Rika grew to become a strong young women. Still holding on strong thanks to that promise Suzaku gave her 10 years earlier. She had her friends: Takeru Yoko and Shinji Nadameru. Over the years Rika had become a female otaku. Though she envied the lives and adventures the teens in anime/manga had. Can’t she have her own adventure?! Then came Touya Yume…
(That the tears fall right down, into the sea,)
He was just some tutor from Japan, right? He was teaching her History, she had a hard time in that subject, always saying strange things… She needed help and that is why he was made her tutor. But it changed when she began to actually like him. A teenage crush, that’s all. But, this little crush is what led to the image of Touya to come off. For what lay under… was a pair of purple eyes. Ones she saw in her History book, this she knew much. And worse was those purple eyes had twin geass symbols in them.
(to the ocean of my heart.)
Rika was never meant to figure it out. But the delusion came down, in three words that would confuse Rika from that day: Touya was Lelouch. He couldn’t let her get out of this freely, she was the first and last person he made a contract with. He gave her power in hopes of her helping him the chaos that was coming of age. She agreed to it, and she put on the chains that Lelouch gave her, forever tying her to the supposed dead boy thanks to this mental power. But what about this dormant one… What or how could this be?
(Though the brightness of the sun has drifted far away,)
Life continued on for the new geass user. But she was also living another life, as Rika, Lelouch’s accomplice, the Black Knight. Then came along Higurashi. After 10 years… Rika saw her again and became the White Knight. But, one can not be the White Knight and Black Knight in this chess war. She was found out and was almost killed by Higurashi. Tsubasa protected her, for the wolf was Rika’s partner though DNA. Soon later, Takeru figured it out and joined with his own BiDNAHybrid.
(Tomorrow holds the sunlight of a brand new day for me,)
Many things happened at once. Shinji betrayed Rika and captured her for Higurashi. Higurashi used her Lamperouge genes to reconfigure Zero, once thought to be just an alter ego, into a separate person and made him her White Bishop. Kagami, a mysterious girl, became the new White Knight. This led to a full out battle, physically and mentally, between the Black Knight, Rika, and the White Knight, Kagami. But no one would guess the outcome of what was to come.
(A brand new day for me.)
Kagami said it without any feeling of remorse, the twinge of fate hitting Rika hard. Those few, unemotional words that came out of the enemy’s mouth changed her view of life forever.
“Rika, you, are actually the reincarnation of Lelouch’s long dead brother, Rolo Lamperouge!”
Those days of sitting along with Shinji, talking about how she didn’t belong in this dimension finally made sense. With a flick of a sword, and the glow red of an eye, Rika killed Kagami the next moment. She then preceded to lick the blood off the sword. She finally realized that blood was her element.
(I hold the light and the darkness of my heart,)
Rika held fast to this realization, but it didn’t come without a price. She knew that the moment Lelouch struck her. She knew that when Shinji tried to shoot her. She knew that when Noctis insistently, pushed her to a mental breakdown. She knew that when she saw Suzaku again.
(Trembling while I embrace the shadows, moving me apart.)
He was all along inside Tsubasa’s mind. Her father was by her side this whole time. Life had given him another chance to stay by her! He slayed Noctis, and comforted Rika. He accepted her, even going as far as to say that he knew it all along. He knew that she was Rolo, but still Suzaku loved the girl as his daughter. Why else would he have even done this?! She hugged him for the last time as his soul designated.
(And I can't give up all the dreams that I have chased,)
There was no longer a reason to cry, a reason to suffer. She needed to look towards the future even if her friends continued to look at the past. Higurashi was making her move and had already gone too far. She had already saw Zero as a traitor and executed him, returning him back to the alter ego he was always meant to be. She started to bomb Europe with newly high teched Flayia. Her plan was already coming to fruition. Rika made the hardest decision of her life… history had to repeat itself. Rika was Suzaku’s daughter, Higurashi was Lelouch’s niece.
Rika would have to kill her best friend. She had to bring peace. History had to repeat. Hopefully, they would learn it this time.
(And my love will be there and will come to me again.)
Rika knew from the start that her adventure would turn out worse than the teens of anime/manga. But never did she think it would end like this! Having been rejected by Lelouch as an accomplice, Rika could only use her geass to end the war. Lelouch would no longer help her finish what had been started.
She faced Higurashi with a malicious look. Rika’s geass had already spread to both eyes and had become permanent, like the geass Higurashi had all these years too. Geass vs. Geass.
Rika already saw the outcome of the battle…
One nor both could live, they both sinned, they both killed, they both were mistakes in this world.
Mistakes needed to be erased.
With one last glow of her geass, Rika killed Higurashi and then the geass back flashed and killed Rika. It was meant to be since she agreed to become Lelouch’s accomplice. But now he hated her, or so she thought. He was there as she died, crying…
Now, as her eyes closed, Rika hoped with the last of her will, that this time, people would learn.
History couldn’t be repeated again…
Rika died as she heard Suzaku’s lullaby…
(With each rising sun, I'll find the future that is mine.)
that WAS awesome
