"It's not a coincidence that you are my new partner, is it?"
"Actually no. I was walking down the hall when I heard Ikhny talking to Azuma about wanting a new partner, and so I thought this the perfect chance to become your partner, and not have to always hide in the shadows all the time. So I walked in and told Azuma that I had overheard a little of their conversation and had been on my way to also request a new partner. I suggested that Ikhny and I could just switch partners and it would be a lot easier that way. So he agreed of course, happy that he wouldn't have to arrange the whole thing. And so here I am."
He said nothing back to her and stared out at space. After a few minutes of silence he walked out, thinking to himself. /What does she mean we have something in common? Does she know about my dream? No, how could she? Does she ever have dreams like mine?... Who cares, she just my repairer, why should I care if she has a stupid nightmare?/ He thought to himself but he could help the constant flow of questions running through his head.
******a month later******
Hiead had just got out of a Pro-ing practice and Zero had managed to beat him due to a problem with his pro-ing. He stepped out of the cockpit and walked up to Raquel. She had his back to him, having started the repairs on it.
"What the hell was that? I thought you fucking said you upgraded it!" He growled at her and forced her to turn and face him.
Zero, Kizna, Yamagi, Tsukasa, Clay, Saki, Roose, and Wrecka had all turned to watch them fight. Most of them looked hesitant to stay and watch the fight, but Zero was watching with a proud smirk on his face, probably voting for Raquel. Clay was watching with his look on his face that he always had when observing something and muttered, "Interesting..." as he flashed his glasses. Kizna watched, hoping they got in a fight and killed each other.
"I told you that it rejected the program you wanted and that I got a different one!"
"But you said that it would be able to handle all of the pressure!"
"I didn't fucking say it could handle that much! I said it could handle more than it used to!"
"That was less than it used to be able to handle!"
"No it wasn't! You were putting 25% more on it than it used to be able to handle, I didn't say it could handle that much! It's your fault so stop trying to blame it on me!"
"It is your fault! It's your fault you didn't upgraded it to what I asked, it's your fault that I lost, so it's on your head now!" He said, and before she could respond he had thrown a fist at her stomach.
Caught off guard, not expecting an attack the fist slammed right into her stomach and she fell back onto the control panel.
She recovered and got off, dodging another punch and throwing a punch of her own. He caught her hand and kicked her.
She flew back and hit the ground hard, a few inches away from Roose, who ran away and hid behind Yamagi.
She jumped up and ran at Hiead, throwing punches violently as fast as she could, but she only landed a few.
He caught both of her fists and held them, making her stop. She glared and kicked him. He let go of her wrists and stumbled, but regained his balance.
She ran up behind him while he was recovering and kicked him behind his knees, making him collapse.
He turned on his back and she took a step towards him. She leaned down and went to punch him in the stomach, but he caught her hand and tugged. She fell down on top of him and he switched their positions so he was on top and looking down at her. He held her wrists tight against her side and put a lot of his weight on her legs so she couldn't get up.
She squirmed beneath him but stopped when she found it impossible to escape his grip. He put his face close to the side of hers so his breath tickled her ear and his hair brushed up against her face. She blushed slightly, but he didn't notice.
Everyone watching them had their eyebrows risen as they stared at him in surprise, trying to understand what they were seeing and probably misunderstanding it.
"I win, so you have to do as I say. You will put the program on it, no matter how long it takes. I want it on there by tomorrow. Do you understand me?" He asked and took his mouth away from her ear so he could look down at her face, she could feel his breath against her face and her blush grew slightly brighter, but he ignored it. She slowly nodded, still surprised at the feel of him on top of her.
After a few more seconds of silence in which they just looked at each other. Hiead with his usual glare, but I thoughtful look behind it. And Raquel with her surprised, flustered look. He slowly got off of her and walked out of the room.
Raquel stayed on the ground, her eyes still wide with surprise, his smell still lingering around her. She finally got up to see everyone, except Hiead, still there and she glared at them.
"Shows over." She growled at them and turned away to start the repairs on Hiead's pro-ing. The candidates left, but the repairers stayed around to repair the damages on the pro-ings.
Wrecka and Saki were the first to go, then Tsukasa, then it was only Kizna and Raquel left in the room.
Once again the pro-ing rejected the system she was trying to put on it and Raquel slammed her fists against the control panel.
"Damn it! Why the hell wont you just accept it?!" She yelled at it and Kizna glanced at her.
Kizna finished the repairs on her pro-ing and looked at Raquel. She slowly walked over to her and asked, "Do you need help?"
"No." She growled, but it just rejected it again as a red light came on and Raquel swore to herself.
"What kind of program is it?"
"A H-26"
"You made sure to take off the other program first?"
"Yes."
"You switched it onto manual?"
"Yes."
"You changed the wires to make it positive?"
"..."
'I think we've found the problem." Said Kizna with a small smile and put a hand on her shoulder.
She pushed it off and was about to tell her not to touch her, but she stopped herself.
/She just helped me out, even though we are natural enemies I still at least owe her a little thing like being nice for a few minutes.../ She thought to herself and opened the cockpit and walked over to it and stepped in.
She started switching some of the wires and then stepped out again. She walked over to the control panel and read 'positive'. She started the program on it again and this time it was accepted.
She sighed and looked up at the pro-ing when she felt Kizna's hand on her shoulder again.
"Don't I at least get a thank you?"
"I would have figured it out eventually without your help, besides I'm giving my thanks to you by not pushing off your hand and yelling at you." She said, not looking at Kizna.
Kizna stayed a few more minutes before remembering she had to meet her friends. "Oh, sorry I have to go, I'll cya later then." She said and ran out of the room, leaving Raquel alone.
Raquel looked up at the pro-ing with a sad smile. "I'm sorry I yelled at you, it wasn't your fault." She said and walked around the control panel to place a hand on the pro-ing. "It was my fault, just like Hiead said..." She said and jumped up onto the pro-ing so she sat next to its head.
She leaned against his head and hummed to herself and old song her brother used to sing to her. She slowly stopped humming as she fell asleep, worn out.
About 20 minutes later Hiead walked in, coming to see if she was done so he could test it out. He first looked at the control panel, and then looked around. Not seeing her and thinking she left he turned to walk out, but he noticed movement out of the corner of his eye and he turned and looked up at his pro-ing. He could see her two legs dangling of his shoulder.
"Did you finish putting the program in?" He asked.
Silence.
"Raquel? I asked you a question!" He growled, but still no answer. He started climbing up his pro-ing, muttering to himself. "Damn girl, what the hell does she think she's doing?" When he got up he looked at her slumbering face and noticed a slight movement come from her. She was slowly slipping down the pro-ing and he walked up next to her. He shook her lightly to try and make her wake up, but she didn't.
"Raquel? Wake up, your going to fall off." He shook her again, but she was dead asleep, exhausted from the fight with him, then having to do all the repairs on his pro-ing. She slipped another inch and he tightened his grip on her shoulders. He shook her again. "Raquel?"
"No!" She exclaimed and began to wildly scratch him all over his arms and chest. "I didn't, it wasn't me..." She mumbled and dug her claws into his arms before her arms went limp again. He winced and pried her hand off of his arms.
"Damn bitch, going to kill me." He said as he picked her up. It was obvious that she wasn't going to wake up anytime soon from her deep sleep so he picked her up and began to carefully get off his pro-ing.
When he jumped down onto the floor she mumbled to herself about something he couldn't understand and he gave her a curious glance before he started walking.
He left the room and began walking down the hall to her room, ignoring the pain and the blood slowly tricking down him and soaking his shirt. He walked up to her room and realized he didn't know the password, he knocked on the door, but no one answered so he turned and walked off to his room.
When he got there he typed in the code and walked in as the door slid open. He walked up next to his bed and set her down.
He went into the bathroom, took off his shirt, threw it onto the ground and soaked a small cloth, then washed out all the scratches. He walked out and looked down at Raquel.
She had his blood all over her clothes and claws. He kneeled down onto his bed next to her as he took the wet wash cloth and began to wash the blood off of her fingers.
At that moment the door slid open and Hiead looked over his shoulder to see Zero, Clay, Ikhny, Kizna, and a guy he didn't know, but assumed was Ikhny's new partner.
They were laughing and talking, but when they saw him and Raquel they all went silent. They looked from the blood on Hiead's bed, to his bloody, ripped shirt lying on the ground, to Hiead kneeling over Raquel on his bed with his blood all over his chest, arms, and her clothes. Ikhny and Kizna screamed, Zero gaped, and the guy he didn't know ran at Hiead, screaming at him.
Hiead turned to face him and he grabbed Hiead and pulled him forward.
"What the hell did you do to her?" He screamed at Hiead as Ikhny looked up and down Hiead, looking at his wounds with fear clearly shown in her eyes.
"I didn't do anything!" Hiead shouted at him and pushed him away.
"Then why is she covered in blood?! And why is she unconscious?"
Raquel groaned and woke up, lifting her head to see her old partner and Hiead fighting when a sweet smell made her moan and close her eyes.
Hiead and her old partner both looked down at her. "Oh no..." Her old partner mumbled, a look of fear in his eyes.
"What?" Hiead said and glanced at him.
"Your blood, she smelled it and her wolf part is giving her blood-lust." He said and took a step away from her.
"What?" Hiead asked, but then Raquel's head snapped up to look at him, her eyes were no longer blue, but yellow, a lustful look very bluntly showed in them.
She slowly stood up and took a step towards him, licking her lips and locking his confused and angry eyes with her lust-filled ones.
"Would someone tell me what the fuck is going on?" He growled as her old partner took a step back.
"Sometimes if she smells blood she likes, her wolf side will take over from blood-lust, it is also like the first step of mating for them..." He said with fear clearly shown in his eyes, but a light blush on his face. "But it is very, violent..." He said taking another step back when Raquel took another step towards Hiead.
"Hiead..." She purred at him, taking another step. "Did I ever tell you how sweet your blood is? I can tell just by how it smells..." She said and smirked, then flew forward and slammed him against the wall.
He grunted and looked down at her, her eyes glittered as she titled her head down and licked one of the cuts on his chest.
