Olya /cardcaptor girl's notes: oh well, no flames so far, which mean – my work doesn't suck much. The key word is *much*, because I still think I could've done better that that. Thank you for all the reviews. God bless you people.

"You do realize, Miss Allecto, that this opportunity comes only once in a lifetime, don't you?"
Ikhny bowed her head in understanding.
"I do, very much. I still think that this would be the best thing for both of us." The Head Director's baffled face expression was still on, after five minutes of continuous converse with her. He couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"And you also do realize that your choice will affect your future in the Pilot Academy. I mean…this is impossible…" The man sat down on his puffy brown-leathered office chair and gazed at the girl sitting in front of him for a good minute. "May I ask why? Why are you doing that?"
Ikhny stared blankly at the person in front of her. For a moment she really questioned herself: why was she doing this? But the answer came in different forms, which were not so different after all: Hiead, Hiead and Hiead again. Was the Goddess Repairer career really what she always wanted? No, she wanted to become a doctor, to help sick people, to cure them. Her parents, however, had other plans. They wanted their daughter to be on top, which was something she wouldn't be able to do. Little money, little courage and little studying helped her to get through, to the GOA; but in the end – she was still a little grey girl with little intelligence.
She wasn't worth working with Goddess; Kizna was, Zero was, Hiead was…Hiead Gner had dreams, and Ikhny had no wish in ruining them. The boy lived for his future, and deep down Ikhny adored him for that. He was the strong one, always fighting his way through the toughness; and she knew he would win in the end. The chocolate-haired girl was a complete opposite of him though…she didn't long for a battle for her own future; Ikhny just waited for it to take her wherever the flow went.
"Miss Allecto?" The Head Director called for her, when she didn't reply for several minutes.
"I…I think…this is all wrong…all of what happened in the last couple of months…I wasn't supposed to go for repairer…" Ikhny looked up to see an even more confused expression on the man's face. "My choice is for the best and I know he'll approve it too." Surely Hiead would agree with her. It seemed like he always wanted to get rid of her, he must've hated her; because they were so different in every aspect: Ikhny and Hiead. What a stupid person had paired them together in one team? It was like putting a lion and a rabbit in the same cage!
"All right, if that is what you wish then let it be so."
"Thank you."
"You are welcome. And I will call your parents to inform them about your decision."
"Fine, say whatever you want to them." It's not like she cared.
"Tomorrow I'll see you in my office for further instructions; I'll see you Miss Allecto."
"Goodbye." Ikhny said, before saluting the man and quietly leaving his office. The only thing she regretted out of all this was the fact of moving out from her dorm room with Kizna, the red haired girl, who came to be her best friend in the toughest times.

"YOU'RE WHAT?!?" Kizna almost fainted at what she heard her roommate say.
"Kizna, I have to…this is…it's just not who I am..." Ikhny tried her hardest to explain her best friend the reason of her life-changing decision.
"What are you talking about? You are *you*, Ikhny." She paused for a second. "But…we'll see each other every day…right? We…we will…right?"
"I'm not sure, but I'll try my best to see you as often as possible." Kizna's ears lowered themselves if sadness.
"But…I don't want you to go."
"Well I'm not exactly going anywhere…I'm just moving, that's all."
"You know what Allecto? You are the worst friend ever!" exclaimed teary Kizna.
"And I'll miss you too, but I have to do it…besides we both know – I'm not cut out for the job." There was a deep silence for several moments, after which Kizna's ears perked up suddenly in rage.
"It's him, isn't it? It's that Gner bastard! Did he make you do this?!"
"No! It's not him…I told you – he has nothing to do with my decision." Ikhny lied.
"I'll miss you so much!" with those words the red haired girl flung herself at Ikhny and hugged her tightly. The brunette teenager smiled hugged her friend back.
"Me too. But nothing's going to change – you are still my best friend no matter what."
"And if that Gner idiot will ever say mean things to you, you just tell me, because I'm gonna beat the crap out of him." Kizna said releasing the girl from the hug.
"I don't think that'll be a problem anymore." Ikhny said and bowed her head. "I have to go now Kizna, I have some unfinished business to take care of before I leave to another place."
"Bye, I'll see you later…oh I can't believe you're leaving me tomorrow!"
"I'll see you Kizna."
Ikhny left her dorm room and walked once more, down the much hated prison-like hallways. Everything would be okay from now on. She just had to speak to Hiead before she left and explain the situation. She had to talk to Hiead soon.
"Allecto." Speaking of which. She turned around slowly.
"Hello Hiead."

Olya / cardcaptor girl's notes: Well? Scale from 1 to 5, how much did it suck? Sorries and apologies for the boring thing I write there. I had to write it to explain Ikhny's situation more. Now, does EVERYBODY understand why Ikhny doing what she's doing? I know the whole thing is still a bit unclear to you, but I promise, the next chapter will give you more clues. No, no suicides don't worry.
