This is my first WHR fanfic, so don't laugh please. It might sound a little weird because I wrote it at 2:00 a.m. Please review and enjoy. Note: The story takes place mid-season, before the Factory raided STN-J.

An unknown presence,

A shadow,

A strange feeling

That cannot be explained.

A Strange Feeling

A girl ran into an alley. She was being chased by a witch. He started throwing ice at her. She dodged it and ran into another alley. It was a dead end. The man laughed.

"This will teach you to interfere with other people's business. I've been looking for you for quite some time. You have caused me a lot of trouble. I could have been at the top if you hadn't saved that girl. I'll make you pay." He threw the ice at her. She put out her hand and stopped the ice in midair. Then she flung the ice back at the man. She walked up and examined the body.

"I was hoping to get a lead from you. I'll just have to track down the hunter by myself."

Things have been peaceful at the STN-J for about a week. Robin was happy because of this. She didn't have to get up at all hours of the night to investigate murder scenes or hunt down witches. She had to go into the office at 8:00 a.m. at the earliest and leave at 8:00 p.m. at the latest. She woke up at 10:00 a.m. on a Sunday morning. She stretched and looked out the window.

"Not a cloud in sight. I'm sure glad I went to church last night." She got out of bed and dressed herself. She walked into the living room dressed in her usual black pilgrim dress with her golden brown hair resting on her shoulders. As she passed the counter, she noticed a note left by Touko. She picked it up and reads. "Dear Robin, I had to run a few errands. I'll be back around lunch time. Thanks for cleaning the apartment again. See you later. Touko. I guess I'm all by myself today." She sits on the couch and turns the TV on. As she puts her hair up, the reporter talks about the death of a thirty-four year old man. He talks about how it could be a murder, but no cause of death has been reached. Suddenly, her communicator starts ringing. "Hello? Oh, Michael, good morning. Yes, I can be at the office in twenty minutes. Bye." She turns the TV off, gets her jacket, and leaves.

At the office, everyone is sitting in the meeting room. Michael explains the situation.

"Last night, a man's body was found mangled. Apparently, the police haven't found a cause of death. They can't find any clues, no finger prints, no DNA, nothing.

"So, what does this have to do with us?" Sakaki asked.

"The man murdered was a witch. The previous night, he was spotted using his powers," Amon exclaimed. "The witch tried to kill someone, but the person got away."

"Do you have an idea who killed him?" Robin asked.

"I'm pretty sure it was a witch. I'm not sure witch one, but I do know this. She is very powerful."

Doujima sighed. "How do you know it was a she?"

"He, she, it doesn't really matter," Sakaki remarked. "Let's just find this witch and get her to the Factory."

"It's going to be harder than that," Michael exclaimed. "This witch is hard to track. She never lets her guard down. And even if we do find her, it's going to be hard to bring her down."

"You sound like you've seen her powers," Karasuma said.

"Michael, see if you can find anymore information. Doujima, look into people coming into Tokyo. Start with the past month. Let's go to the murder scene. If there's something to be found, it'll be there." Amon started walking off when he noticed Robin still sitting. "Robin, are you coming?"

She looked up at him. "Yes, I'll be downstairs in a minute." Amon got in the elevator and went down. Robin heard someone calling her name. "What is it, Karasuma?"

Everyone looked at her. "What?"

"Didn't you say my name?"

No, are you ok, Robin?"

Yeah, I'm fine. I'll see you later." She headed towards the elevator. She could have sworn she heard someone calling her name.

Robin looked around the alley. It was weird. It felt like she had been here before. The presence that she was getting was strange yet familiar. She couldn't explain it.

"Karasuma, have you found anything?" Amon asked.

"No, I can't get a reading off of anything. The witch that we're dealing with is a pro. She didn't leave any trace of her presence."

Sakaki walked up. "I got a lead. Some old lady in an apartment said he saw the witch."

"Karasuma, Robin, go check it out. Sakaki, come with me," Amon commanded. "Let's see if we can track her." Just as Karasuma and Robin left, Sakaki turned to Amon.

"Hey, Amon, look what I found." In his pinchers, he held up a piece of hair. Amon took it in his hands and examined it.

"Strange," he said.

Karasuma and Robin knocked on the apartment door. An old lady appeared behind it.

"Can we talk to you? We need your help," Karasuma said.

"Sure, come in. I'll get you some cookies," the old lady said. As they walked in, Robin noticed it was quite plain. The old lady walked up to her with a tray of cookies. "Here, have some."

"No, thanks," Robin said, but the lady wouldn't take no for an answer.

"Come now. They aren't poisoned. You look like you could use a little meat on your skinny bones." Robin finally gave in. The old lady sat down in a rocking chair. "I suppose you have come to ask about the murder."

"The police said you saw the person who did it." Karasuma was always straight to the point. When it involved work, she would stop at nothing to find a witch.

"Well, let's see," the old lady said. "She looked about fifteen, a very skinny girl. She had green eyes and a gentle face. Why, she looked a lot like this young lady."

"She looked like me?" Robin didn't understand. Unless there was some twin sister she didn't know about, she couldn't make sense of it.

"No, I take that back. Her hair was down and a darker color than yours. She also dressed different than you. I hope that helps you."

"Thank you for your time," Karasuma said.

"Anytime," the old lady said. As they left, Karasuma noticed Robin in deep thought.

"Are you ok, Robin?"

"I'm fine. I was just thinking."

"About what?"

"When we were at the murder scene, I felt something weird. It was like I was there before, only I know I've never been here. The whole time I felt a presence. Does that make any sense at all?"

"I don't know. Maybe the other found something out. Let's head back to headquarters." As they got in their car, Robin noticed a girl in a red overcoat looking at them. She got a glimpse at her green eyes before she disappeared in the crowd. "Is there something wrong?"

"No, I thought I saw something." She got in the car and they drove away.

How was that for a first episode? I hoped you liked it. In case anyone from Read or Die is reading this and wondering about my fan fiction Reunited, that story was eliminated. I'm going to try and rewrite it in paragraph form so look for it. Anyways, please review and tell me if I made any mistakes at all. I'll try to fix them. See ya.
