"That's enough." Rias ordered, not having any effect on Lelouch who opened his eyes, they were crimson as his Power of the King appeared with a bloody flash.

He charged forward in a head on dash. "I said, that's enough!" She swung her arm out to the side, summoning her shield.

When the punch Lelouch had thrown with his right arm, his gauntlet was still there, clashed against her crimson barrier, darkness slowly started overtaking the shield where Lelouch's armored fist hit it. 'What?!' Rias' eyes widened before a flash appeared directly over Lelouch's body and tackled him to the ground.

"Down boy!" Akeno shouted as she pressed her knee down in the middle of Lelouch's back. "That's enough out of you!" Her own power burst forth and slowly overwhelmed Lelouch's energy until it was forced into submission.

Lelouch panted as he regained his senses, his violet eyes looking at Rias with exhaustion. "Sorry." He mumbled, grunting at the weight of Akeno on his back. "Get off." He demanded tiredly.

Akeno had his right arm in her grip, pulling it back against his right shoulder and she was putting her full weight down on his spine. It was not comfortable in the slightest.

"Nuh-uh." Akeno shook her head, tugging his right arm to force him to grunt in pain. "You just attacked your President, I don't care if you lost control, you shouldn't have tried to go beyond your limits." They had talked about this sort of thing, back during their training sessions. "You should have been more careful.

Now, apologize." Akeno tugged at the clawed fingers Lelouch currently had, brushing her finger along the sharp edge. 'I can see why he didn't want to fight me while being influenced by his Wrath more than a little.' Akeno thought silently, though her face was flushed. 'It could have hurt so good.' She thought excitedly.

But without control her fun would have been limited since she would have had to use her stronger attacks which had the serious chance of harming him and she didn't want to do that.

Hurt yes, harm no. She was a sadist, not a monster.

"Fine, I'm sorry Rias." Lelouch apologized through his grunts of pain as Akeno pulled his arm in warning. "I underestimated how much stronger I've gotten and forgot to prevent my emotions from overwhelming me.

" Lelouch always had such strict control over his feelings that, if he allowed himself to feel them in their entirety, there was the risk they would overwhelm him.

Before now, he had been weak enough that his power wasn't boosted too high by his Wrath, even if it was doubled or tripled, but now that he had some actual strength without the boost he had to have even tighter reign over his Wrath if he didn't want to be consumed by it.

"It-It's okay, Lelouch." Rias looked at her Black Knight who grunted as Akeno let his arm go and stood up. He shifted his arm around to try to loosen the muscles Akeno had been pulling to keep him trapped and allowed his armored gauntlet to vanish and dissolve into smoke as he covered his face with his hand.

"I forgive you, I just hope you understand that Wrath is the most risky of all the Sins for a reason." She knew he knew, but some lessons bore repeating. "Wrath can never be fully satisfied, not even by destroying the object of your hatred.

" She knew Lelouch didn't hate her, he drew on something within himself, perhaps memories of his family considering what he had shared about them, but since they weren't there he had no clear target if he was consumed by his Sin.

Which meant everything became a target.

Lelouch panted as he allowed his power to fade, feeling emotionally drained. He put his hands over his eyes, suddenly bothered by the sun's light bearing down on him. "Can we please stop for now?" He asked, feeling exhausted.

It had been a few hours and the sun was high in the sky, draining him to the bone. "I could use a little rest after this." When Rias gave no indication that she would refuse him, he turned to leave the clearing and head back to the Gremory villa. Before he left, he overheard a question from Rias.

"Lelouch, what do you hate so much that you would claim the Sin of Wrath?" Rias asked softly, as she watched her Knight leave with a limp. He was holding his right arm close his body and he was hunched over.

She couldn't get the tears she had seen for a moment out of her mind. "Just what in the world do you hate that much?" She asked, desperate to try and understand her Knight.

Lelouch leaned carefully against the tree to his left. He remained silent for a moment or two before responding. The darkness was comforting.

A tired smirk graced his face, unseen by Rias and Akeno. "What in the world huh." He chuckled. "That's a funny way of putting it." As Lelouch walked into the forest, away from the President and her Queen, he answered them.

"That's my secret, Rias, but know that there is more than one thing that I despise enough to be willing to claim the Sin of Wrath."

After he arrived back at the villa a few hours ago he had secluded himself in the library, one of the few rooms with no windows.

He left the lights off as he sat down on the couch with his jacket unzipped, shoes kicked off somewhere around the front door of the villa, and focused on regaining the control he had lost during his training.

It took him a few hours of intensive meditation to do it, but he finally got his internal turmoil back under control.

He had spent the past few hours essentially chaining down everything that had been unleashed during his training session, which was currently postponed until tomorrow so that he would be fully functional during his lessons.

He had disguised it well, but he was willing to bet that Rias had sensed he was an emotional wreck on the inside after losing control.
