Ever since he had started to get more powerful his Sin was getting harder to control. If he unleashed his full power now, he probably could kill everyone over at the match in about ten seconds. Well, the humans at least.

Five for the initial attacks, another five to hunt down the ones running away. It would be all too easy. Lelouch took a deep breath, trying to handle the cold rage flaring inside his chest.

"Are you handling everything okay?" Koneko asked softly, Lelouch having told her his troubles controlling his Wrath.

"I thought a couple people annoying you wasn't enough to set it off?" If it had then Issei would have gotten a regular helping of Void energy every time Lelouch saw him.

Even if Lelouch didn't hate the boy and considered him a somewhat worthy ally, he was still incredibly annoying to the more serious young man.

"It's not that." Lelouch responded, doing his best to tune out the match. "It's the fact that it's about a couple hundred annoyances all at once.

" He clenched his fist, squashing the smoky energy that had begun to form around his right arm. 'Not without my permission dammit.' He focused his attention on quashing the cold sensation permeating his chest.

It was suppressed for now, but it kept getting more difficult each time.

This was why he had refused Akeno when she wanted to fight him in his Wrath Mode, he didn't think he could control it as the only one he had used it on was Mittelt.

And his brutality in that kill had actually surprised him once he began to calm himself down, he had the same reaction when he went over his actions towards Raynare.

He didn't like not having control over his own emotions. His Wrath had been influencing him more than he expected.

"It does seem to be getting out of control." Koneko admitted thinking of the tennis match, leaning into him further as she enjoyed his arm around her shoulders.

She still had issues with physical contact, but when she was with Lelouch she no longer flinched at his touch every time.

"So this is where you two are." The voice of Kiba sounded behind them, the pair not reacting in the slightest.

"I was wondering since it seemed everyone in school except for you two showed up." The blond walked down and sat next to Lelouch on the hill, resting his arms on his raised knees.

"I don't think I've ever seen so many people at a tennis match here before." He hadn't seen many, but he knew that a couple hundred people didn't usually show up for school matches.

"Yeah, I just hope it's over soon." Lelouch admitted, not changing his position next to Koneko.

If Kiba was going to make a big deal out of their closeness he would have done it by now. It wouldn't change the fact that Koneko was cold and was going to latch on to him for his heat.

He'd much rather keep control over his arm than have her crush it against her body.

Lelouch blinked as he felt a flare of magical power. Kiba and Koneko reacted as well, standing up and turning to face the tennis court.

The former Emperor sighed, pressing his hand against his eyes, refusing to stand from his somewhat comfortable position.

"Please tell me they're not using magic." He whispered desperately hoping it wasn't the case.

"Okay, we won't tell you." Koneko deadpanned, staring at the crowd surrounding the match.

"I thought the rule was no magic, even if we didn't expect a mob to show up." Kiba spoke, trying to recall the rules they had set up.

"I don't know, and I don't care." Lelouch sighed. "I wasn't paying attention because there was no way in hell I was getting involved.

" Training and combat were one thing, but he sucked at sports. He wasn't half bad at horseback riding, but every single member of the Imperial Family had been taught that practically since they could walk. Almost any other sport, and he was worse than deadweight.

"That rule doesn't seem to be stopping them." Koneko reported as the two Knights and one Rook sensed another flare of magical power. "Rias is about to lay the smackdown." She commented, recognizing her friend's magical signature.

"Time to kiss the rulebook goodbye huh." Kiba commented, wondering if they should make their way over to prepare to wipe the humans' minds.

"Alright, fuck it." Lelouch stood up in exasperation and began to make his way over. He had noticed recently that the influence of his Wrath had made him a bit more vulgar than he used to be.

"I'm going to watch to make sure they don't expose us." Kiba and Koneko followed him almost immediately, walking on each side of the dark-haired Knight.

"You don't think they're that careless, do you?" Kiba asked, curious his fellow Knight's line of thinking.

"No, I just think they're that competitive." He answered dryly, pushing and shoving to make his way through the crowd. Koneko did the same, though most of the students parted for her.

Eventually the three of them had a good view of the match and saw Saji, Sona's newest Pawn, waving a red flag from the top of the fence. "Dear Satan." Lelouch murmured. "He's almost exactly like Issei." How annoying.

"Most of the guys here are, they're just more respectful or hide it better." Koneko replied dryly. The only ones who openly embraced their perversions were the perverted trio.

"Say what you will about him and his friends, and I have, but at least they're honest about their base instincts.

" Lelouch and Kiba snickered lightly, not entirely sure if that was supposed to be a compliment or an insult. Nonetheless, they still found it amusing.

"True, true." Kiba responded while Lelouch just shrugged as his response. The newest Knight wasn't going to agree or disagree with that statement.

He sensed Koneko hadn't been referring to either him or Kiba with that statement, so there was no need to get defensive.
