AN's: Well, interesting reviews, truly. I am so very sorry for messing up
your name, Evolutionary Spider. I read the name wrong, heh heh. I'm horrid
with names. Beautiful Azure, I thank you for taking the time to review, but
the whole point of reviewing is constructive criticism, not ranting. The
whole point of writing a fanfic, deary, is to explore possibilities that
can be spawned from gray areas in the show. I was not only making Ikhny
seem afraid, but a great deal 'out of it' so to speak. When one is sick and
near unconsciousness, they lose normally a sense of time and do not always
speak clearly, also are often forgetful. As for my use of a cereal for a
drug name, well, I was indeed rather hungry at the time and thinking of
food. The name popped into my head with the thought of breakfast and I just
used it because I was being lazy. It is a drug in the story, not a cereal.
As for my out-of-character dialogue, I do apologize. It is a well-known
fact that the way one speaks manages to find its way into one's writing,
and that is how I converse with others. I do try to avoid it, however it is
indeed difficult. No, I have not been watching too much of Kenshin for my
own good. I have always spoken as such. As for those of you who defended my
writing, I thank you kindly. Please continue reading and I pray that I do
not anger you as well.

Hiead watched as Ikhny slept. Dr. Rill had given er a few injections that had brought her blood pressure back to normal. The girl's breathing was regular now. He sighed and played with a pencil, bored. Though he didn't show it, one of the biggest things Hiead disliked was waiting. Granted, he disliked many things, but he disliked waiting the most.
Hiead averted his attention from the pencil back to the girl sleeping on the bed. She looked so . . . vulnerable. "Allecto always looks weak," Hiead thought, "but this is crazy. She looks so easily influenced. Maybe she is but it only shows when she sleeps. I knew she was weak, but I didn't think she was weak enough to resort to drugs. Maybe I over-estimated her."
Just then Ikhny stirred. Her eyes fluttered open and she saw the one person she never expected to see: Hiead Gnr. She gasped, giving away that she was indeed awake, but rousing him from his thoughts as well. Gods she hated her life. Why was the whole world against her?
"You're awake."
Ikhny yawned. "What is it, Hiead?"
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"Don't play dumb with me, girl. Why did you do it?" He nearly shouted at her.
"What do you mean?"
"The drugs, damn it! What pushed you to do it?!"
"I, um, well you see-"
"Just explain! Quit your stuttering and give me an answer before I beat it out of you!" He cut her off.
Ikhny's eyes narrowed. "I have to tell you nothing," she said, her voice dangerously low. Her words hit him like venom. They stung. She was right, though. She wasn't required to tell him anything.
Hiead blinked. "You're right. You don't have to tell me anything." He got up and walked over to the bed. "Just tell me one thing," He sat on the edge. "Is it my fault?" He asked. He knew his voice sounded weak. He heard it break. He hated himself for being weak, but he had to know.
Ikhny gasped. "Was that concern I heard in his voice?" She thought. Slowly, very slowly, the frail girl nodded. He could barely tell she had moved her head, though she had. That hurt him even more than her refusing to tell him.
Hiead looked down. He punched his thigh and cursed. Then, suddenly, Ikhny found herself in Hiead's arms. Was he actually hugging her? "I'm sorry, so sorry," She heard him mumble then he released her and walked out of the room, leaving her to ponder his strange behavior.
Hiead walked into the mess hall. He was surrounded by people. If there was one thing Hiead Gnr hated, it was to be surrounded by people. He wasn't afraid of them, he just didn't like them. Sighing, he got his food and sat down at the table with the other candidates in the upper 80's. Enna opened his mouth to say something, only to have it covered by Clay. "Don't Zero, you don't want to get him mad," The frail boy reasoned.
Hiead glared at both of them. "I'm not going to risk expulsion on him," He said simply. They all looked at him. "I'm also not going to answer his questions." He got up then, leaving them wondering. That was something Hiead took delight in -he would never let them figure him out. He rather liked seeing the look of confusion on people's faces.
He went to the server and asked for a tray of food for his repairer who was ill. Kizna heard this, damn those ears of hers, and looked at Hiead oddly. After some difficulty, Hiead left the mess hall with two trays. He sighed, knowing that he was being followed by that annoying repairer of Enna.
"HEY YOU!" He heard her shout. She sounded quite vexed.
He stopped. "Yes?"
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO IKHNY? HUH? ANSWER ME YOU JERK! BLAST YOU LOOK AT ME WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU!"
Hiead sighed. This was not going to end up being pleasant. "It is not your concern. Leave me alone," he replied icily. He heard her gasp and smirked. He then felt a slight burning sensation in his back as she slapped him.
"NOT MY CONCERN?" Suddenly, she went deathly quiet. "You listen to me, Hiead. Ikhny is my friend -and when I find out what you did to her, not even Dr. Rill will be able to help you."
"That's a threat," he said mildly. "You could get expelled for that." With that said, he walked off, leaving the cat-eared girl standing there.
When he got to Ikhny's room, he knocked. "It's open," he heard her call. He stepped in and put one of the trays on her night stand.
"Your friends worry about you."
"They..... Do?"
"Yes, they do," he replied, neglecting to mention Kizna's threat. The frail girl's face lit up at this and Hiead felt his heart skip a beat. "What is wrong with me? Her smile is so pretty. I can't think that! Why am I thinking these things? It isn't right! She's Allecto! She's weak! I'm not. I can't become weak," Hiead thought, his mind and his heart yelling at each other.
Ikhny ate the rest of her food in silence. A childish grin was plastered on her face. She looked up at him every so often. "You know, if you keep grinning like that, your face will get stuck," he said dryly one such time. She didn't respond and they ate the rest of their meal in silence. Hiead gave her a small contraption. "Push this little red button if you need anything. Don't do anything stupid." Then he got up and walked out. Minutes later, he was in his room, cursing himself for not saying goodnight. He punched the wall, and quite hard. He knew it would leave a bruise on his hand, but he didn't really care. He went to bed, hand bleeding and quite sore.
~ Sowwy that took so long guys, an I know it be short, but deal. I'll hopefully get the next ch up soon. R&R please.
