Hello Assassin's Kiss here to thank those who have reviewed this story. I want to give a special thanks to Danica Loy because their review in particular made my day. I kept going back to read it over and over again whenever I was having trouble figuring out this chapter. So I guess this chapter is in a way dedicated to you. O.o; Hope you aren't too fond of Euphemia because things don't quite go well for her in this chapter….;

But honestly, I thought if I gave this chapter some bite than my reviewers would stop focusing on the fact that Suzaku is a pregnant vampire. It was shocking at the beginning, sure but I want to hear more about the story that you keep telling me you love. Pouts Sometimes an author just likes their ego stroked by hearing what people love about the story. Well anyway, enjoy… I stayed up until 2 a.m. on a work night to finish writing this for you and I'm sleepy...

Craving Blood and Chocolate

THE NEXT DAY, THAT AFTERNOON

"It still amazes me that you are pregnant right now Suzaku. It really suits you," exclaimed a pale, pink haired beauty with lavender eyes. She was the epitome of pious elegance as she sat on the edge of the chair she was offered, her back ruler straight as she balanced her tea saucer in one hand while delicately holding the fine bone china tea cup in her other. She paused in sipping her tea to observe the healthy, happy glow of the brunette who nervously nibbled on a cookie in one hand while holding tightly to a round couch pillow in the other.

"Le… Lelouch has been telling me that lately. You know that pregnancy suits me but I think he's just cushioning my ego now for later when I start to pack on the baby weight," he mumbled, sheepishly blushing when he felt those violet eyes focusing on his flat middle.

Secretly he preened, releasing the cushion and setting the cookie aside to lovingly frame his belly even as he pat the place he knew where his and Lelouch's child was carefully forming. Was their child still the size of a peanut or was it just a smidge bigger? Would the child favor one parent over the other or form and grow to favor both of its parents in all the best ways? He felt so excited and anxious to know he was giving them both the family they had always thought was unattainable when they formed their union. And now to share this joy with a dear friend, he could feel the tears forming as happiness bubbled in his chest.

"I wonder if you had decided to be my knight instead of choosing Lelouch… would I be the one to be with child now," Euphemia said a bit bitterly to herself. She clicked her teacup against the tea's saucer, a little too harshly as she sat them both on the coffee table. She had thought she could honestly handle seeing Sir Suzaku in such a state, especially since they had been so close once, but it was obviously she couldn't as she stood up abruptly; her sweetheart baby face hardening in her growing displeasure.

FLASHBACK, DEDICATION CEREMONY FOR THE CLOVIS MERMORIAL MUSEUM

"Hey they're running!" One of the many guests exclaimed as they observed on the large screen as the human prisoners, that were scheduled to be killed for being key fighters in the rebellion against the vampires, ran away on their nightmares with the Black Knights with them.

"He fought them off...the Black Knights?!" questioned another, doubtful party participant. He had completely forgotten the ceremony for the late Prince Clovis in favor of seeing how this would all play out.

'Suzaku… Well done,' thought Euphemia. She inwardly breathed a sigh of relief that the brunette human soldier that she had come to admire greatly was able to keep his own and remain alive against more than five nightmares attacking him at once.

"Damn traitor!" spat out someone in displeasure.

" Why won't he follow them?!" exclaimed another bitterly, jabbing his hand accusingly at the screen.

"'Cuz they're filthy humans, like him," snorted another one loudly, already deciding they were all the same.

"Of course! I thought 1 against 7 was a little too much to be real!" cried out yet another.

"If those damn humans fought us fairly instead of using their little toys then none of them would be able to stand up against our superior vampire might," chipped in a Baron of some sort, while repositioning his glass monocle.

"Princess Euphemia?" The scarred man entrusted to protect the royal vampire princess Euphemia, until she found her own knight, turned askance to the trembling princess.

'How dare they? How dare they turn on Sir Kururugi when he has fought so bravely for the vampires? He gave his all even though he is just a frail human and this is how they treat him?' Euphemia thought in displeasure, her teeth gritting together and her brow wrinkling in displeasure.

"All of you! I'll answer the question you asked me earlier!"she chirped up suddenly, her eyes narrowed in determination. She would no longer be an indecisive viceroy pawn of her brother Schneizel or her father for that matter. Princess Euphemia stood a bit straighter as all eyes turned away from the screen to focus on her.

"You wished to know who I'd decided on as my knight, correct?" she began breathlessly, feeling a bit light-headed.

The crowd looked expectantly at the viceroy of Area 11. Many of the reporters, who had come that day, quickly dropped their little plates of appetizers to fumble for their microphones while gesturing eagerly for their cameramen to tape her next words.

"My knight shall be the man you see before you!" Euphemia declared boldly before gesturing proudly to the screen. "Warrant Officer Suzaku Kururugi!" She added when many looked at her blankly as if she had lost her mind.

Many of the reporters stepped forward, eager to hear the princess elaborate on why while others snorted their derision. In all the chaos of the announcement in snapshots, none had noticed the young man who had walked out into the open, with a cocky little swaggering walk until he called for silence and attention.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your announcement dear sister Euphemia but Sir Kuruugi has already been claimed," stated a clear male voice. He step confidently through the path the spectators had quickly cleared for him as one after the other, they began to recognize who the raven haired male in the expensive suit was.

"Le… Lelouch, I thought you were-" gasped out Euphemia. She was already dropping the flowery first place award she was supposed to pin on the picture of her opposing father. The princess's first impulse was to run to her long lost brother that she had thought had died during the brutal massacre of Lady Marianne. But even as she began to run forward, Lelouch holding his hand to stop her, caused her to pause.

"Dead? Not quite, although seeing the brutal slaughter of my mother was a bit much for a small child to take in," he murmured, laughing bitterly. His fingers quickly curled around a flute of wine as a waiter passed him. He mockingly raised his glass up to his stunned sister. "Some days I wish I had died," he said as way of toast before taking a tentative sip.

"It's the prince!" declared someone, noticing him for who he was.

"Did he honestly witness Lady Marianne's death?" breathed another, sympathetic to the poor raven's plight. For all that they were displeased about his mother; they took the loss of the royal prince and princess hard.

"Prince Lelouch vi Britannia has returned to us?" murmured another in disbelief.

"Thank the Gods!" cried another, tears already welling up in an elderly vampires eyes.

"Why… why can't I have him?" Princess Eupehmia asked childishly and selfishly latching instead on his earlier statement as her brother closed the distance between them. She was already falling in love with the brunette who so gallantly rescued her time after time. It mattered not to her that he was a human. She could turn him when he became her knight. If only he could learn to love her then her happiness would be complete.

"It's because he has already agreed to be my knight, dear sister. If you look at his neck on the screen you can already see that he bares the mark of a true knight," he declared aloud for the masses below to hear while looking into his sister's eyes in challenge.

"He does bare the mark!" gasped someone in surprise. Now that the camera zoomed closer they could see a purplish bruise that looked like a rose. The mark of the royal knights whether human or natural vampires was always the rose.

"He turned him?!" exclaimed another, in surprise. Many looked worried that both prince and princess had been taken in by the now ex-human.

"Lelouch why?! I… I lov—" Euphemia whispered softly, not wanting anyone but her precious brother, who she cherished, to hear her confession.

"Honestly Euphemia," Lelouch sighed in exasperation, with an indulgent smile on his lips. He drew his sister into his arms, cutting her off as the crowd clapped for the reunion of the prince and princess. Under the cover of applause, Lelouch whispered these words into the shell of her ear, crumbling her world forever. "What could you honestly offer him that I haven't already guaranteed as his lover?" he breathed into her ear before kissing her forehead and turning to the populace.

"It's all for the best dear sister. Our history together is stronger then yours," he said before saying loud enough for everyone and the cameras to hear him, "I am glad that I, Prince Lelouch vi Britannia, can be embraced by our great nation. Long live Britannia and Rest in Peace Clovis!" he declared. He lifted his flute of wine once more before drinking the rest in one smooth move.

"LONG LIVE BRITANNIA AND REST IN PEACE CLOVIS," they all shouted and saluted in unison. None noticing how the princess shut down in the circle of her brother's arm; tears welled in her eyes, not from joy but sudden lost of the one she loved most in the world.

END FLASHBACK

"What's wrong Euphy? Do you need to use the bathroom? It's right over—" Suzaku began, perplexed. His brow wrinkled in concern at the idea that his guest was somehow unhappy with him as she stood up so suddenly after being lost in thought.

"I should have been the one to be pregnant, not you. You should have been mine all along!" she spat out. Her petite frame trembled as she glowered down at the pregnant belly of her love who would now never return her love because of the 'thing' growing inside of his belly like a parasite.

"Calm down Euphy. I don't understand wha… what's going on but maybe if we talked it out," Suzaku began as he quickly hoisted himself up to stand. He was thankful that pregnancy hadn't hobbled his mobility yet to the point that he needed assistance standing. He quickly made his way around the coffee table and when he reached to put a supportive hand on her shoulder, she slapped him before placing her hands to her mouth in surprised shock.

"I didn't mean to…" she trailed off in surprised horror at his stunned look before she shook her head vehemently 'no'. Her pouty lips formed a decisive frown as she glowered at the clueless man that still seemed not to understand how she felt towards him. "It's obvious Aniki must have done something to woo you to his side. Maybe Aniki compelled you, right? So if I get rid of it and break the compulsion he has on you, then you can be my knight, right? You can be mine and we can start our own family," she began frantically before giggling in relief at her own realization. Her sweetheart face softened as she tenderly touched his sore cheek and smiled sweetly at him. "Let me make this right."

"Pri… Princess Eup—" But before Suzaku could finish his words the young vampire princess had tackled him down, her perfect white fangs flashing even as Suzaku's back smashed down against the coffee table, shattering the glass table He hissed in pain at the hot water burning the side of his face from the tea kettle, along with the shards of ceramic and glass wedged in broken pieces against his back.

"We will be happy Suzaku. Just you and me," she cooed triumphantly her champagne pink nails sharpening and lengthening as she was about to dive her claws into his gut. But suddenly she let out an indignant cry as someone pulled her straddling position on top of Suzaku by her hair of all things.

"Euphemia, honestly, I brought you to this house as not only my dearest sister, but as a friend. And yet here you are about to do harm to my mate and our family," Lelouch gently scolded even as he tightened his grip on his fistful of ridiculously long, pink hair.

"You compelled him didn't you? You're two guys. It shouldn't be like this. It just isn't right," she whined, struggling and twisting to free herself. She picked up a jagged shard of glass to swipe at her brother's leg but suddenly he gripped her outstretched hand and pulled it up even as he crouched down low to join his sister on the floor.

"Do not worry sweet Euphy. Even in death I will love you dearly," he murmured, releasing her hair only to draw her closer in a hug.

"Le… Lelouch?" she asked, confused and frightened by his words. She looked to Suzaku for help, but he was having too much difficulty sitting up without slicing up his hands on ceramic and glass shards.

"Goodbye Euphemia," he breathed, brushing cold lips against her wet, tear-stained cheek before stabbing his hand through her back and out of her chest. Her body falling back on him heavily as she stared with tears at the heart her brother now clutched in his hand before turning to look at Suzaku. "Wh… why couldn't he ch… chose me?" she gasped out breathlessly, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. Then her head suddenly bowed down as if she were a marionette doll whose string had been accidentally snapped by her puppeteer.

Lelouch tossed the heart away in disgust before he gently laid his dead sister on the loveseat his lover had evacuated when Princess Euphemia had shown the first signs of distress. With his clean hand he tucked, a stray curl under her ear, before two bloody fingers closed the lids, hiding the sad violet eyes of someone who was truly desperate. 'I didn't want this to turn out like this Euphy. You have to believe me,' he thought before resolutely turning to face his broken lover who was already standing.

"Come now Suzaku, you are all dirty again. I'll have to give you a soothing bubble bath with just the two of us to enjoy. Would you like that?" Lelouch asked, trying to smile reassuringly at him. He would first have to take out all of the shards from Suzaku's back and arms and wait until his mate's wounds had completely healed; but he was sure a bubble bath would help calm his pregnant mate's nerves if words failed to do so.

"Lelouch, what will we do about Cornelia and the others? Th… they won't take this death lightly. Not when you killed her to protect an ex-human like me," Suzaku began shakily in a panicked voice. He ignored his pain to stumble towards Lelouch and practically collapse into his lovers arms as his legs buckled. His eyes darted fearfully to the side to see the peacefully still body of his former friend. Her bloodstained eyelids, trickle of blood on her lips and gaping hole in her lavender dress betrayed the fact that she met a bloody end and not the peaceful one of sleep.

The fresh betrayal of her words and actions were not quite enough to cover the pain of losing a dear friend. Even when his stomach growled hungrily to lap at the bloody hole of her bosom, he only squeezed his eyes close, tears forming behind the lids. He refused to desecrate her body by feeding on her misfortune like a carrion bird. Even if she betrayed him, he respected her too much to let his hunger get the better of him.

"Don't you worry your pretty little head. Sayoko will clean up the mess as usual and I will bring you something fresh to eat," he murmured, his bloody hand cupping his mate's cheek. He waited until the pain-filled emerald eyes open before Lelouch continued once more. "You, Nunnally, and the baby are my family now. The rest can burn in hell for all I care."
