Olya / cardcaptor girl's notes: You'll like this chapter, I know it.

Hiead: "They will?"

Olya: "Yes, they sure will."

Ikhny: "What makes you think so?"

Olya: "Because I would."

Hiead and Ikhny *O.o*: "Uh-Oh…that sound like trouble!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    The chocolate haired teen was dreamily staring at the spectacular space view in front of her, when the mechanical door slid sideways to reveal the certain boy with silver-white hair and way too serious eyes for his age. She was rather surprised to see him here…as far as she knew – Hiead never visited any places just for the pleasure of it.

   He didn't move from where he was standing. The boy's cold, unaffectionate gaze met the girl's emotional one. For him it would be a glaring match, for her it would be a torture, for she could not guess a single thing he was thinking at the moment.

   "Allecto." Hiead stated simply, yet firmly; as if identifying her. That's when Ikhny thought she better get moving.

   "I – I b-better go…the privacy…I mean you came here to- I will go n-now because I- I – I've got something to do…I was here too long anyways…it would be better if I- w-would go now…" She was babbling. Why? Scared? Was she scared of being in the same room with him? Why?

   Not thinking for too long, Ikhny walked coyly past him, not daring to raise her head up.

  She was scared of him! Good. Hiead's lips curved a pleased smile, although his eyes were telling another feeling, the one he wasn't even sure of.  

   The girl sighed in relief, as she walked out of observatory, leaving the ruby eyed boy alone. This was not good. She shouldn't meet up with him on these bases. She wasn't sure what consequences would come out from talking with her ex-partner, but whatever they were, it was not good.

   "Allecto." The cold persuaded voice echoed through the hall once again. Hiead had no idea why he had called out for her…and in fact he wasn't sure if he wanted to know.

   Ikhny stopped for a second or so, not moving a muscle. There was a decision to make: should she turn around and face whatever she was going to face, or should she run? Well, the running option wasn't the case here; she would just look stupid by doing that…so she turned.

   "Y-yes?" Ikhny's quiet, petrified voice was in a full contrast to Hiead's.

   "You've got a nice partner, as *everyone noticed* today – he showed a true sign of courage…" the boy paused. "If that is what you wanted from a partner, all you had to do was ask…" The silver haired boy mentally kicked himself. *Why* was he saying this?! Ah wait…he was saying this to make her feel uncomfortable. Weak, that is. Suddenly, he felt much better.

   Ikhny, on the other hand felt worse and worse and worse, as each moment passed by in the slowest motion possible. Did he just say what she thinks he said…? No, no, can't be. But then again…he said what he said. He must be thinking she's some kind of a slut. But no! She wasn't, because it wasn't even her fault! How could he think such things about her? Was he kidding? Playing around? Mocking?

   The girl's vision started to blur, as she tried to speak in calmest voice achievable.

   "I- I– I'm sorry…" And then she took off. The feeling was confusing and Ikhny didn't like it even a bit. The brown haired teen felt as if she was…cheating…now how silly is that? She didn't even do anything!...Heck, she wasn't even supposed to feel responsible in front of anybody. Why?

 Why?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Guilt crossed the features of Hiead's face, when Allecto fled, but only for a second. Too quick to be noticeable.

 No, he wasn't going to *pity* her. She didn't worth it. She didn't worth his time. Not now – not ever.

   The last words Ikhny said filled the troubled mind of the young boy. She said she was sorry. Always sorry. Ha! It was too good to be true. She was at his knees. This was appealing to the sight: Allecto apologizing over and over and over again. Very appealing.

   All those weaklings, they were always so stupid.

   "Gner; if you're late for the practice, I'll kill you personally with the mallet I keep especially for you in my closet." A dangerous voice said wickedly. He turned around.

  "Oh really?" he said amused. "I didn't know you cared that much to keep a special killing device just for me!" the boy exclaimed with perfectly outdone sarcasm.

  "I did and you'll see it soon enough, if you don't come to the practice now." Tarria started walking away. Hiead followed her unhurriedly. "And Gner, don't push it…I don't care about you, no matter how you'll try to seduce me into it."  Hiead frowned.

  "I don't try anything, Hidgi...not to *you* anyways."

  TO BE CONTINUED…

  Olya / cardcaptor girl's notes: review, review, review – PWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEESEEEEEEEE!!! Ah…the dear sweet underline meaning, the hidden sense, the revealing feelings, the- Hiead: "Oh for the love of God, Olya!" oh well…the changes ARE happening …who caught it – good, who didn't, then that's too bad.

You know the usual – your job is to tell me if I got the character personalities right throughout all the chapters.

Wait for the next chapter soon!
