                                                          The Strong and The Weak

   This day wasn't supposed to go any different than any other day. It was meant to be full of action for Zero, with some learning time for Kizna, challenging as always for Clay and others, ultimate of training for Hiead, and emotionally difficult for Ikhny Allecto. Everything was supposed to be same as always, only it wasn't going to be that way this time.

   Ikhny timidly walked through the brightly lit halls of GOA, thinking of the training session, which was going to happen in about five minutes. A training session with Hiead. She got used to the fact of being her partner's work tool and apparently wasn't going to do anything about it anytime soon.

    "Board controls… A and B systems to the left…then PRO-ING pilot water tank on the standard mode…" She quietly muttered to herself quietly, remembering the homework chapter she has been working on so hard last night. "Vitals checking fourth and fifth scan…now…now the PRO-ING machinery scan test, it's the…the…the…" she couldn't remember. "The PRO-ING machinery scan test is the…the…umm…"

   "You must study harder; I won't fail because of your lazy learning abilities." The cold voice behind her made the girl stop. It's him. Ikhny had an urge to cry a lot by now. She had studied for this training session for hours just to not make him mad! Why of all people should he been standing there and listening to her temporary lack of memory? She didn't cry though…well, maybe a little tear *did* run down her cheek, but Ikhny made sure Hiead didn't see it. It's not because she didn't want him to see her weaknesses, it's just that she was afraid to show them to her so-called partner. He would judge her.

   "I'm sorry." The chocolate-eyed girl stated simply and continued walking down the hallway. The boy behind her smirked quietly to himself, while hearing the apology. She deserved his disrespect because she was weak; and weak people were only distorting his way to becoming a Goddess pilot. He wasn't frail, they all were, but he wasn't – he had to be strong and he was strong. Fragility of others would bring vulnerability to him; and the best way to avoid weakness, was by ignoring the weak. Ikhny Allecto was a feeble creature; therefore she deserved all of the sayings and actions she received from him.

    She didn't even have time to absorb what was happening. First, she checked the PRO-ING pilot water tank and then the liquid was pouring inside, as it was suppose to happen, but then…Hiead…inside the tank…he suddenly lacked of oxygen and the vital signs showed a good overflow of adrenalin in his veins.

   "The pressure! You put the liquid pressure inside the tank too high! Release him now!" But Ikhny was still as a statue, no muscle in her body obeyed her. The brown haired girl just stood there, watching her partner struggling inside the liquid tank of the PRO-ING. "ALLECTO! DO YO HEAR ME?! RELEASE HIM NOW! HE'S IN DANGER!!!" Instructor Azuma screamed at her with all of his voice power. Finally, Ikhny got out of her trance and pushed several buttons, after which the body of a fifteen year old boy was dropped to the floor.

   "Candidate! Are you alright?" He was alright, in fact, he was more than alright - surprisingly to everyone. It must have been his EX power at work.

   "Hiead…" was the only thing Ikhny could say, before receiving the coldest glare the girl ever saw.

   To be continued…

  Olya / cardcaptor girl's notes: I'm planning on doing these kinds of little chapters every day. Sorry, but they'll be that small every time. But, but - the chapters will come out at sooner times. (^_^) I'm planning on something dark and brutal and cruel and wicked here and of course - - - -here comes the ANGST! Please tell me if I got into Hiead's personality well, is he in character? And Ikhny?
