And now, the chapter...

Chapter 6: A Historical Moment

Darkness was all around her, just like painful memories. She wanted to get out of there, she wanted to reach the light she knew that existed, but she didn't know how to do it. Then, she took a deep breath and closed her fists: she would do it; she would open her eyes and face the reality, even if that meant she would have to face the nightmares of her life.

Slowly Ikhny opened her eyes, to face white. All around her was white and filled with silence.

'What's new?' she asked to herself, as she tried to sit up.

"Oh good, you're awake." a voice said, and Ikhny looked to her left to see Dr. Rill walking through a door "How are you feeling?"

"Hum...fine." Ikhny replied though her throat still hurt.

"Good to know." Dr. Rill replied as she stopped next to the girl "You're friends were really worried about you."

"My friends?" Ikhny repeated, and then she opened her eyes wide "Where's Hiead?"

"Hiead?" Dr. Rill asked, confused for a second "Oh, you mean candidate to pilot #87?" Ikhny nodded "He's with Azuma right now, I think he's going to be expelled."

"What?" Ikhny asked, her eyes wide opened

»«»«»«

"...and when I woke up, I saw Hiead trying to suffocate Ikhny." Kizna finished, and Azuma looked to Hiead:

"Why did you do it, #87?" he asked, and the boy looked at him with an emotionless face:

"She deserved it." he deadpans, and Azuma closed his fists:

"She deserved it?" he asked angrily "Do you have any idea of what that girl is going through? Do you have any idea that if you kill her you'll never be able to be a pilot? No, don't answer that, I really don't care and you know why? Because you're expelled!"

For the first time in her life Kizna saw Hiead opening his eyes wide, surprised.

'Serves you right.' she thought, smiling.

"What?" Hiead asked, "You can't expel me."

"I can't, can I?" Azuma asked, crossing his arms "Well, guess what? I just did it."

"But what will happen to Allecto? By expelling me, you're expelling her."

"Oh, I don't think so." Azuma started, shaking his head "You see she's a better student than you and much more responsible, so I think she'll have a future here. Something that won't happen to you, since you aren't very famous."

Hiead narrowed his eyes, but before he could reply the door was opened:

"Azuma-sensei, please, don't expel him." a voice begged, and Hiead turned around to see Ikhny, looking tired and paled "Please, don't do that."

Azuma narrowed his eyes:

"And why shouldn't I?"

Ikhny looked down for a moment:

"Because of Victims." she said as she looked up "You know we need all help we can get, to defeat them. And even if Hiead did something way to wrong he is a great pilot, and he can help us."

Azuma took a deep breath:

"Why do you want him to stay?"

Ikhny licked her lips:

"I don't." she said, as she looked to Hiead "For me, he can go to hell." when Hiead looked away, Ikhny turned her attention to her professor "But I'm his repairer and I know he's more than capable of helping us. That's the only reason why I'm asking for you not to expel him."

Azuma stood looking at her for a few seconds, before sighing:

"Ok, he can stay." he said, and Ikhny bowed:

"Arigatou, sensei." she said before she turned around, and walked away.

"What the hell happened here?" Yamagi muttered, and Kizna turned to the already close door.

"Ikhny." she whispered. Then Kizna felt a hand over her shoulder and turned around, to face Zero "Yes?"

"You worry to much." he said, and Kizna sighed:

"Baka."

Hiead looked to the door: 'Why is she helping me?' Without any warning, he walked towards the door:

"#87, stay where you are." Azuma said, but Hiead ignored him "Gner, come back here!"

"You wish." Hiead muttered under his breath, as the door opened in front of him.

"Hiead!" Azuma called, but the candidate to pilot simply ignored him and walked away "Oh, what am I going to do with you?" Azuma asked, turning to the other young adults, who shrugged.

»«»«»«

Hiead walked through the halls, his mind lost in thoughts. He really didn't know what was happening to him: he shouldn't be worried about Allecto or thinking about finding her; he should be on his room, thinking about the day he would turn into a pilot. But no, he had to be following the strange voice that came from his heart, though he didn't want to know why.

'Damn that girl!' Hiead thought as he put his hands on his pockets 'I should have killed her, when I got the chance.'

Suddenly a voice filled the hall and Hiead froze: he knew that voice...that song...

Slowly, he turned to the door he had been heading to and saw that he had been right: Allecto was on the Observatory, singing and crying.

'That girl cries too much.' Hiead thought, as he started walked towards the brunette 'What a weakling.'

However, when he was about to open his mouth, a memory made him stop; a memory from his dreams:

'"Then, both our souls will be lost."'

"What did she meant by that?" Hiead muttered not noticing the song had stopped:

"What the hell are you doing here, Gner?"

Snapping from his thoughts, the silver haired boy looked up.

"Humph, why do you care?" he asked, and Ikhny rolled her eyes:

"I don't." she replied

"Then, why did you ask?" Hiead asked, crossing his arms

"Forget it." Ikhny answered as she got up "I just thought Azuma wanted to talk with you. I mean, I never thought he would actually let you stay here."

Hiead froze, and let his arms fall on his sides:

"He didn't." he said, and Ikhny raised her eyebrow.

"What?"

"He didn't want me to stay." the silver haired boy explained, "Apparently, you changed his mind."

"I did not do such thing." Ikhny started "I just said the truth. You are a great pilot Gner; you're the only one who doesn't see that. And you know why?" before Hiead could open his mouth, the brunette continued, "Because you're a git, who thinks he must be better than Zero. Damn it Gner, you don't need to be better than Zero, to show how good you are!"

Hiead froze and Ikhny sighed. However, when she was about to walk towards the door, Hiead grabbed her wrist:

"Wait." he whispered, and Ikhny looked at him "I...I wanted to say..."

"What?" Ikhny asked, annoyed "Split it out Gner, I don't have the whole night."

"I'm sorry." Hiead whispered, looking down, and Ikhny opened her eyes wide in surprise.

»«»«»«

"Where are we going?" Roose asked, and Wrecka rolled her eyes.

"Didn't you hear Azuma?" she asked, "We need to go train."

"I can't believe we got out of there alive." Yamagi muttered, and Roose shivered.

"Hai." he agreed

» Flashback «

While Azuma walked from side to side the young group shared nervous looks. However, before they could even move, Azuma sighed.

"What am I going to do with you?" he asked.

"Hum...let us go?" Zero asked in reply, and Azuma looked at him.

"Let us go." the teacher repeated in a childish voice "You wish!" he yelled.

"But sensei, we promise we won't do anything wrong." Kizna said.

"Yeah right, I bet next time I see you, one of you will be dead." Azuma replied, as he grabbed a cigarette. Then, he sighed "Go train; we need you to be 100 percent prepared for the attack. The Victims are closer."

"Hai!" everyone exclaimed, before storming out of the room

» End Of Flashback «

Yamagi sighed:

"Azuma's scary." he mumbled, "And crazy."

"Tell me about it." Roose muttered with a nod.

"Well, lets go and have some action!" Zero exclaimed, his fist high in the air, and Kizna shook her head:

"Baka." she whispered, but her lips were curling into a small smile.

»«»«»«

Ikhny didn't know how to react; had Hiead Gner just said he was sorry? No, that wasn't possible; she had just misunderstood his words:

"What?" she asked, before she could stop herself.

"Don't make me repeat again, Allecto." Hiead warned, looking at her "I know you heard it."

"Well, I must have heard wrong." Ikhny started, "Because I thought I heard you saying, you're sorry."

Hiead swallowed hard:

"I..." he started. Damn, why couldn't he talk? Why couldn't he react?

'She's just a weakling, damn it. You don't need to say anything else; just let her go.'

However, something didn't let him...something wasn't let him talk, move or even let the girl go. Looking up, Hiead froze: Ikhny's eyes looked like two small stars, while her pale skin looked like marble, due to the small light of the space. She looked beautiful.

'What?' Hiead asked 'Beautiful? This weakling?'

"What?" Ikhny asked, and Hiead noticed her eyes turning cold when on the previous second they had looked lost and lonely.

"Damn it Allecto, you know I'm sorry!" the silver haired boy exclaimed, and now it was Ikhny who froze.

"Sorry about what? About these three years when you treated me like a slave, or for the fact I just saved your ass and now you're going to stay?" she asked angrily, and Hiead narrowed his eyes:

"Don't raise your voice, to me." he hissed, and with a strong pull, Ikhny got away from his grip.

"Look here Gner, I'm sick of this!" she exclaimed "I'm so sick of you thinking you're the best guy in the whole universe, while all the others are like shit! I don't even know how you're able to go through the doors, with the head you have! You disgust me, and I hate to be your partn-"

SLAP

Looking to the floor, Ikhny put a hand over her cheek while Hiead closed his fists.

"Don't you dare to talk with me like that, you weakling! I can kill you; you know I can! So don't push your luck!"

Taking a deep breath Ikhny looked at him. She knew her cheek was turning red, since it hurt as hell. But she was used to the pain; even being a different kind…

"Then do it!" she exclaimed, "Kill me! End all this hell!"

"What?" Hiead asked, narrowing his eyes again "You want me to kill you?"

"Yes!" Ikhny screamed, "Kill me, and I'll be happy! I'll be happy and you'll be happy. So, end all this bullshit, and stop all this stupidity!"

"Why?" Hiead asked suddenly, and Ikhny blinked her eyes.

"What?" she asked, and Hiead took a deep breath:

"Why do you want me to kill you?"

"Well, because that's what I want, and because that's what you want. So, lets make everyone happy and end this." Ikhny replied, before giving a step towards the boy "Now, if you may..."

When Ikhny raised her head, Hiead new she was being serious. She was raising her head, so he could grab her neck and suffocate her.

'How can she be asking me this?' Hiead asked, as he saw Ikhny close her eyes. Slowly, he put his hands on each side of the brunette's neck, but instead of squeezing it, Hiead pushed Ikhny's face down, and kissed her right on the lips.

»«»«»«

Suddenly Erts opened his eyes, and sit on his bed with a hand over his chest:

"Oh no..." he whispered

"Hum...Erts, go to sleep." Rio muttered without opening his eyes, and the blond haired boy looked at him.

"Rio..." he whispered, and the other boy opened one eye:

"Hum?"

"They're here." Erts whispered.

"Who?" Rio asked, raising himself on one elbow, an eyebrow raised in confusion.

"Victims." Erts replied, and the other Pilot sit straight on the bed, his eyes wide open.

»«»«»«

Ikhny opened her eyes wide, when she felt the touch of warm lips against hers. Looking to the person in front of her, Ikhny couldn't help but ask herself if it was really Hiead Gner who was kissing her. No, it couldn't be. Why would he be kissing her?

However, the touch of the boy's tongue against her lower lip was enough to make Ikhny forget all her questions, and melt into the kiss. All those feelings she had for the boy, all those feelings she had been sure that had been buried inside her heart and forgotten, had come without warning.

Slowly and still a bit unsure Ikhny put her arms around Hiead's neck, and opened her mouth, to welcome the one for whom she had fallen, though she had tried hard not to.

'What the hell are you doing?' Hiead asked to himself, when he felt Allecto's arms around his neck

Falling for the girl? a voice asked back

'I can't be falling for this weakling; she doesn't deserve me.'

Are you sure? the voice asked I believe she's the only one who has been around you long enough, trying

to know you better though you always push her away.

'But, she's a weakling...' Hiead thought 'And I cannot be falling for her; emotions are for the weak.' But the truth was that Hiead couldn't stop himself from resting his hands on Ikhny's hips, and pull the brunette closer to him.

Suddenly G.O.A. gave a sudden shake, making the two teenagers break the kiss.

"What...what was that?" Ikhny asked, looking around.

"Shit." Hiead cursed in a hiss, and the brunette looked at him.

"What?" she asked as she lowered her arms.

"Victims." Hiead replied; looking to the window next to them, and slowly Ikhny looked to. What she saw was unbelievable: a Victim was looking back to them.
