Chapter 1: Sleep, Ikhny!
/// "Hiead, sir.!" Ikhny stumbled after the shadowy figure ahead of her. "Hiead.sir.!" She was running now and hard after the blur that was fading gradually into nothingness. "Please! Sir!" She had been running after it for what seemed liked hours to her. She could only hear her heart thumping in her throat, begging for a break, and tears stung at the edges of her eyes. "Hiead! Aahhh.!" She tripped over a rock, and felt the pain shoot to her knee. "Hiead.I won't forget!" She shrilled in pain while staggering to get up, but her legs had run out of energy and weren't strong enough, and she fell into darkness. \\\
"You won't forget what?" A voice pulled her to consciousness. Ikhny blinked hard, gathering in her surroundings, and realized that she was in the Mess Hall eating a late dinner with Kizna. "Ikhny?" Kizna gave her a puzzled look.
"Hmm.?" Ikhny blushed a little. "Sorry Miss Kizna. I didn't catch what you said." Kizna wondered at this. Ikhny was acting weird, and said that she 'won't forget' in a half trance.
"Oh, it's okay. It's nothing really." Kizna's warm smile gave Ikhny an exiting feel of comfort. She was always safe with Kizna. Even Hiead probably couldn't stand up to her. She smiled back at her cat-eared best friend. "Anyway." Kizna continued. "I have some things to take care of. I'll see you later, k?" She stood up with her tray, and laid a hand on Ikhny's shoulder, leaned over a little, and spoke quietly in her ear, "If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm always here." Kizna straitened her back and turned to leave when Ikhny answered, "Thank you." Ikhny looked saddened under her smile, and Kizna reflected her look on her face. "Anytime, Ikhny," And Kizna gracefully dumped her tray and left the hall.
Ikhny ate slowly thinking about her *dream*. At last she was done eating, though her thoughts were all empty ones and she got nowhere in her puzzled mind. 'Oh well.' she thought, dumped her tray and left to her dormitory. She was dead tired. 'No wonder I fell asleep at dinner.' She laughed quietly to herself while walking through the now-empty corridors. It was getting late, and all she could think about were sheets and pillows.
"'Ello, Ikhny! You finally got back here, I see!" Saki was on her bed hugging a pillow while grinning at the startled Ikhny.
"Yes." Ikhny projected while reaching down to take off her socks and boots. She stretched her arms in the air and yawned wearily before undoing her cloth belt.
"Oh, lighten up, Ikhny!" Saki was still grinning, and to Ikhny, she seemed like she was very happy and energetic. 'Oh my, I guess I won't get much sleep tonight.' Thought Ikhny, after taking off her bothersome jacket. She grinned at Saki, I mean, who couldn't at the light-heated redhead? Ikhny pulled on her pajamas, laid her glasses on a near-by dresser, and sunk into her bed. She sighed. night was so relaxing! A time when you didn't have to think about anything besides, well sleeping! Her head hit the pillow and she instantly fell into sleep.
Kizna yawned when walking out of the shower with skyblue pajamas on and a towel over her head. She looked at Saki, and saw the depressed look on her face, staring at Ikhny. "Did I tell you right?" Kizna asked Saki quietly and seriously.
"Yea." answered Saki, gripping the pillow harder while still staring at Ikhny. "Though. she kindof always is like that. spacing out I mean. but, maybe something is really up. We really shouldn't worry, and act like it is a big deal. she wouldn't like that now would she?" Saki grinned again, becoming normal again, the carefree Saki was back! But not the so cheerful Kizna, she was still worrying about Ikhny's welfare.
"By the way, Kizna?" Saki turned serious again. "I.I."
"Hmm.?" Kizna said while coming back to GOA. "What is it, Saki?"
Saki spilled, "Icantsleep.sorrykizna,reallysorrykizna!" Saki automatically dug her head into the pillow trying not to see Kizna mad.
If Saki couldn't sleep, then there would be no chance of Kizna sleeping. "WHHAAAAA!?" Kizna's cat ears pricked up immediately and she almost exploded when.
"Ah! What is it!!?" Ikhny sat strait up in bed looking terrified. "Kizna, what's happening!?" Saki raised up her arms to attempt blocking Kizna's furry while her head was still buried in her pillow.
Kizna was about three inches and seconds away from playfully thrashing Saki, when she heard Ikhny. With her hand still in the punching position on top of Saki, she smiled and replied. "Oh, I'm sorry to wake you, so terribly sorry! I was just counting on getting a full night's sleep, when here Saki, stated that she will have a hard time falling to sleep, and a couple of nights ago, when she said that, we got a nice long lecture from Instructor, and extra laps, for being late." Kizna grunted the last two words between her teeth while staring at the back of Saki's head.
"Oh, you did! Poor you!" Ikhny's eyes widened and she placed her hand over her opening mouth. "I had no idea that she couldn't sleep a couple of nights ago! Am I that heavy of a sleeper?!" Saki raised up her head and put her arms on top of her pillow and started to explain. "Why. when I can't sleep. I tend to.uhhhmmm.." She paused, so Kizna spluttered, "She moans, and talks, and talks, and talks to herself, and when she gets bored of that, she tries to start up conversations, which usually begin with. 'Kizna, are you asleep yet?' Arrgg! It is so annoying!" Kizna's ears twitched and Saki grinned while scratching her cheek.
"Heh.sorry bout all that Kizna." Saki stated. "I won't make a noise tonight and I will at least pretend that I am asleep, I promise!" When she saw Kizna growl at her she added, "Okay, I'll sleep! Hump.!" Saki threw her pillow on her bed and dropped her head on top of it grunting.
"Oh, you'll get over not having a buddy to talk to tonight!" Kizna started to giggle. Saki just thrust the covers above her head, and turned the opposite direction of Kizna's bed. Kizna just giggled. 'She's being funny and she knows it.' Thought Kizna happily.
"Umm. Kizna?" Kizna had totally forgotten that Ikhny was awake!
"What is it, Ikhny?" Kizna said half wearily and half startled, and then sat down on her bed arranging to climb into the covers. Ikhny was looking at her fingers which where gripping her covers while biting her bottom lip. "Ikhny.?" Kizna whispered, because Ikhny looked like she was in deep thought, and she didn't want to startle her.
"I.I.uhm." She paused biting her lip again. "I was wondering if you ever had dreams." Kizna was in thought and answered, "I sometimes do, but usually I can't remember what they were about when I wake up." Kizna gazed hard at Ikhny's face, and tried to guess what she was thinking, and then Ikhny spoke up, "Do dreams have any importance?"
