I guess it can be.

[It wasn't that Suzaku didn't like doing it - being the pilot of the Lancelot had give him opportunities he never would have had otherwise and he knew it, but with everything that had happened....]

"Queen of Games" huh?

[He wonders if Lelouch has ever heard of this game - and if he had, what would a game between Yuugi and Lelouch look like. It would probably be interesting, if nothing else.]

Maybe... I could see your... Knightmare Frame, sometime? [That sounds really, really cool, even if she hasn't experienced what a true terror the Knightmares could be. She doesn't know about the extent of the tragedies that just Suzaku has been through.]

[She does have a bit of an awkward smile and a blush when he says the title.]

It is a silly title, if you really think about it. It mostly applies towards Duel Monsters, not for any other game. And it usually leads to challenges wherever I go, since as reigning champion, I can't refuse them. [Honor of a duelist and all that. Didn't want people thinking she was a coward, after all.]

I suppose I could show it to you, if you want to see it. [It would be interesting to see someone's reaction who wasn't frightened of it - where it didn't carry the stigma that it carried for him.]

Do you play any other games? I have a friend that plays chess, but I was thinking it was would be interesting to see the two of you play against each other, with either game.

[She's just a huge nerd at heart, don't mind her. What's not to love about gigantic robots?]

Like I said, I'm more than willing to try anything once. And I do know how to play chess. Though... a... friend of mine plays a better game of chess than I ever could. [No, don't encourage a game of chess between Lelouch and Kaiba. It could only end in tears.]

But I would like to play against him sometime, sure.

[Suzaku could think of many things - the lives he'd taken in it, for instance. But he's not going to tarnish Yuugi's innocence like that.]

It would be interesting to see, I would think. Last I knew there was only one person who could give him a run for his money.

[And we don't talk about him.]

Really? That sounds really cool. [She might be surprised by Lelouch, though. With as much as he has been through, meeting someone as innocent and bright as Yuugi might be refreshing to play a game against. It's not like Yuugi hasn't met her fair share of people with dark pasts. Who knows, maybe they could be friends or something.]

All the more reason to have a friendly game with him, if he is that good.

[Suzaku wouldn't be surprised - Yuugi strikes him as being much like Euphy, friendly and willing to stand up for what she believes in.]

I'm not sure if he's ever actually played for just fun. Maybe it'll help him lighten up.

Sounds like someone I know. He doesn't play for fun much at all. All of it is a competition to him. [Come play and have fun for once, Kaiba! You know you want to!]

I hope that it would help your friend, at least.

... The same for Lelouch. I really hope your friend and mine don't meet, the world might implode from super seriousness.

I do as well. It would do him some and probably make his sister happy too.

[Can't help the small laugh. Yep, Kaiba is way to serious sometimes. And if Suzaku's friend is anything like that...]

It's understandable why he's so serious. He strives to be the best there is to protect his little brother.

I just wonder if he's going to be alright, once his brother grows up and starts to have a life of his own. [She sincerely hopes that Kaiba will be okay, okay?]

[Nods.]

Lelouch is the same way - almost everything that he does was for his younger sister.

[... he can't really say anything about that. Where he was from originally, Lelouch wouldn't be around to see Nunnally grow up and live a life of her own. He had made sure of it.]

[She does take notice of that. Suzaku didn't say much about his friend's current relationship with his sister. Maybe it was something that he didn't want to talk about?]

...Maybe it's that way with all brothers and sisters. That's what I've seen from most of the siblings that I've known, anyway.

Hm. Some yes. But I've seen some families that are... well. It's a lot not like that.

[The majority of Britannia's royal family, for instance. The only ones who didn't seem to be like that were Lelouch, Nunnally, Euphemia and perhaps Cornelia.]

...I know it's probably a lot not like that, but it is good to know that there are siblings out there that care a lot about each other. [Kaiba and Mokuba, Jounouchi and Shizuka, Ishizu, Rishid, and Malik, and now Lelouch and Nunnally.]

Friends can be like that too, I think.

[He thinks back to his own childhood - he was an only child of course, but Lelouch and Nunnally were the closest he ever had to having siblings. Nothing would change that.]

They can be yes - even more like your family then your own blood relatives.

I have friends like that; ones that I would consider like brothers and sisters, even though I don't have any siblings personally. Mou Hitori no Watashi was like that too, kind of like an older brother at times.

Yeah, Lelouch is a lot like that - looking out for you even when you don't want him to.

[Part of the reason he got damned with that blasted "Live On" geass he has, after all.]

Mou Hitori no Watashi looked after me and friends countless times. Even in his past life, he was looking after others and protecting them. He was a Pharaoh then, sort of like a king. He looked after his kingdom the best he could before he... sacrificed himself to stop a dark god from taking over the world. That's how he was trapped inside of the Millennium Puzzle for five thousand years.

[Guess both of them have seen their share of self-sacrificing leaders in their time.]

... and then that's how you met him.

[They certainly have, although Lelouch made his grand stand and self sacrifice much more grandstanding them most others.]

...For a time, actually, he thought he was me. That he and I were the same person, and when someone did wrong against me or one of my other friends, he would step in to... 'punish' them.

In a way, I guess he did sort of start off like Ryou-chan's Spirit. The only difference is that he, Mou Hitori no Watashi, he learned from his mistakes and relearned his compassion. Ryou-chan wasn't so lucky, I guess.

I've never actually had the honor of meeting the spirit, even if Lelouch and Ryou warned me about him.

[Which they kind of had to, considering his status as Lelouch's Knight and all.]

I've been told he's rather violent though and is more likely to try and skewer me first then anything else.

[Which he hopes never happens, because with the 'live on' geass, he might be forced to take drastic action - against his will.]

...In our world, he did try to destroy us for his own gains, mainly taking the Millennium Puzzle for himself. He wanted to gather all seven of the Items so that he could release a dark god that Mou Hitori no Watashi had sealed away with his death. I don't know if it's the same for your world, but that's how I remember him.

He's a patient and scheming type, from what I remember about him. He tried to our seal away our souls, first inside of figurines, the second time inside of our favorite Duel Monster's cards. He also took over Ryou-chan's body for an entire month to build a diorama of Ancient Egypt so that he could have a final battle with Mou Hitori no Watashi.

Though, between all of those events, there were several months, at least a year or two all together, where he was quiet. It's like we just forgot about him for a time while there was something bigger going on at the time.

... Ryou-san hasn't mentioned that to me, but... well, I'm not privy to all her secrets. I know enough so that I can protect Lelouch, and her, if need be.

[He wonders if Lelouch knows any of this - about trying to take the puzzle for himself. Or what Lelouch actually does know about Ryou's spirit. He'll have to ask.]

She does like to keep to herself sometimes. I think she just got used to doing so because the Spirit unconsciously kept her so isolated from others, she didn't want anyone else to be hurt because of her.

The first time we defeated him in a game, she looked so happy and relieved. The time that we had thought he was gone for good, she opened up so much; she smiled more and she talked a lot more, especially when she was excited. She really is a sweet and energetic person once you get her past her walls.

Yes, she did seem that way to me.

[That might explain how she fell in with Lelouch then - he wouldn't have let something like that stop him, if he could think of a use for her. Or perhaps she had been a frightened young girl who reminded him of Nunnally and that's why he took her in. He had never pressed for details - Lelouch had his reasons, of that Suzaku was sure.]
