Let's get all the legal stuff out the way now. I do not own any of the WHR characters (I wish I did…I would be in Fiji right now bathing in the sun writing my next anime hit). However, as in all my fanfic I write (2nd one only) there are some character's of my own imagination (Yes, I have my own imagination!) to help develop my story.

Anyway, now that the legal stuff is out the way let's begin!!

The Return of Eve

Three hundred and twenty years have passed since the coven sank in the dark.

Reunion,

Hatred for blood,

A dead end alley,

The forbidden encounter restarts a stalled spinning wheel.

A broken shell.

A forbidden power,

A prisoner,

The name of the sacred mother brings back an awe carved in the darkness.

The caller.

Forgotten records,

Silent catacombs,

The shattered past bleeds for the truth by words of confession.

The trap prediction.

A refused successor,

An eternal war…

Believing in a hope…

And its power to create the future I start walking now.

Taken from episodes 23-26.

Prologue

A black vehicle with dark tinted windows providing privacy for its passengers arrived to the air strip one late windy evening. The skies were clear considering the wind which was a common weather condition for the area.

The driver of the vehicle that just arrived opened the door so the young woman passenger may step out the vehicle along with her companions.

The wind blew the beautiful young woman's hair everywhere however she still looked mesmerizing to the driver. She was about eighteen - nineteen years old he guessed although her beautiful bright green eyes displayed an old soul. Someone who was much more matured beyond someone of her age. For a second the driver had lost his breath again when he looked into her eyes. He couldn't believe someone as beautiful as she was so kind.

When he went to pick up the group earlier in the evening she made sure to make eye contact with him. She thanked him for driving them to the airport. Never in his years of being a driver has any of his passengers have been so kind to thank him.

Who was this woman? the driver thought to himself.

This mysterious woman was dressed in a long black trench coat which she had open giving the driver a glimpse to what she was wearing. The woman wore an all black thin cotton v-neck shirt, cargo pants which fit her thin waist perfectly and black boots. Though her clothing fit her well there was one thing that stuck his interest. It was the pendant the woman wore this was something he had never seen before.

Her companions consisted of two men. One of the two men looked to be much more closer to her than the other… could he be her lover? thought the driver as he analysis the group. Although their gestures between the two could not be interpreted as two lovers would act with one another… there was something in the manner that they looked into each others eyes when they spoke to each other. This much had the driver observed.

The driver couldn't help but agree that even her companions were beautiful particularly the tall, gray eyed, dark haired man. He was very reserved unlike the young woman but still polite. He was dressed in a black trench coat like the woman with what appeared to the driver as all black clothing as well. The other man in the group was dressed in light colored suit and his demeanor was much more talkative that his other two companions. His manners were pleasant thought the driver.

Their plane was ready for them to leave immediately as the driver watched them from a distance boarding the plane that was going to take them to Japan. With a sigh the driver watched the plane disappear into the night sky.

On the night of the explosion at the factory both Amon and Robin escaped safely as Karasuma posed as a diversion as they escaped. They left Japan two months after the incident and traveled to Tuscany (Italy). Though their first few months were difficult with Amon's usual mood swings, Robin was able to get through to him making less abrasive with her. He became very protective of her and always keeping close to her making sure she was alright.

Since their departure from Japan two years ago new developments have occurred which now bring them back to Japan. Rejoining forces with old friends once again they will bring a new view on witches being hunted.

But before we learn of the present let's see what were the events that lead them back to Japan.

Chapter 1

The Beginning

Since they had left Japan Robin and Amon have been inseparable. Through various networks of different underground groups helping witches survive the ever watchful eyes of Solomon they traveled back to Italy into the state of Tuscany. From the diary pages by Toudou Hiroshi which were given to Robin by Juliano Colegui the clues left in between the pages had lead them to Italy. Amon believed Juliano knew there was something else in those diary entries of great importance. However, he didn't understand why Juliano gave them to Robin anyway. Why did he do that, was the real question?

They finally made it to the northern part of Tuscany. It had already been year since they had left Japan. What new discoveries are waiting for them? Through a certain "friendly" connection they've arrived to the palacio of Condesa Nohemí Del Romero who will give them safe harbor in her home.

"Ah welcome come in. I've been expecting you two for a while." As Condesa sized her guests as she spoke to Robin directly "Senorita Robin, you are a very special girl I can see that. You have an aura about you full pureness that surrounds you." The Condesa stared at Robin carefully.

This gave Robin a cold chill down her spine. How can she know…?

The Condesa was an elegant woman in her sixties who appeared to be in excellent health. Her flaming blue eyes were enchanting as they reflected brightly against her olive skin. She wore her long jet black hair loose down her back. Even the clothes she wore a pastel colored linen dress was elegant as she was.

"Don't be surprised I'm a witch with the ability is to see into people's souls and foretell some part of their future." She looked at Amon intently into his eyes causing him to briefly look away. "Some more than others. Our time together will not be very long together but I will tell you that while you are in Italy both of you will primarily reside here with me."

Both Robin and Amon were left in awed. It was Amon who spoke next in his emotionless tone.

"Condesa Nohemí, I really want to thank you for allowing us to stay for a few days but I have plans to leave here soon…"

The Condesa interrupted Amon surprising him of her audacity, "Ah Amon the ever so watchful. That's why you are the perfect companion for her," she said as they were approached a large wooden Victorian styled double doors. "Well we've arrived to your apartment in which you will stay while you are here."

"Apartment?" Robin and Amon asked at the same time.

The palacio was a large mansion that contained numerous rooms. Several rooms were called "apartments" because they had more than one bedroom and shared a private common area that which served as a sitting area. Off to the side of the common area there was French doors that opened to a very large private terrace covered with flowers and benches so one may sit.

"But this is too much. I, we can't…" Robin was hesitant to accept something more luxurious that she could have imagined.

As Amon added, "Condesa please understand we are only going to be here a few days. We do not require nothing more than a room for Robin and I." Amon insisted in usual business like manner.

Waiving her hand the Condesa explained "I see you two do not understand yet what you will encounter here in Italy. I will try to open your eyes a little then… come let's sit at the table."

The table of was made of a very old sold antique white marble trimmed with gold all around the edges. This table was evidently irreplaceable in its original Victorian style grandeur was to be admired by anyone. Robin was afraid to even place her hands on the table in fear that she may damage it in some way. They all sat down around the beautiful table waiting to hear what the Condesa had to say.

"It's obvious that you two don't know what you will encounter here in Italy. I can not say what it is because my powers will not give me precise information. For that only signifies that you will encounter several choices and depending on your choice… it will determine what fate has in stored for the both of you. Remember this, fate does not determine our future it is you that controls it."

"I don't understand. What do you mean about this?" Amon questioned.

"Well for example you Amon. You've come this far even after you were told not to help Robin. You battled with your inner self looking for a reason why you should not follow your heart. And still your heart prevailed over all adversity and you decided not to follow through with the orders you were given."

Amon couldn't believe how this woman could have known this. Maybe she was some sort of spy or something, he thought to himself.

"No, I'm no spy. Don't so look surprised. Remember my craft I know bits and pieces of the future and of people's thoughts. I knew had to have this chat with you tonight because if I did not… by morning both you and the girl would have been gone." she paused as she looked at Amon. "You are in denial at the moment my boy… something within you that is brewing. You know what I mean you feel it, you sense it and you know it's because you have been around her. Don't blame her. For yet she may return what you have given to her… She will be your savior… the power that is within you would take you to dark place but now that you have her she will see you through it as you will do for her."

A maid walked in with a tray of coffee, tea and assortment of cakes.

"Thank you Lourdes, that will be all for now." Directing her attention back the Condesa offered, "Have some coffee or tea or some cake. I wasn't sure what you would like so I had Lourdes bring a little of everything we have."

"Thank you Condesa Nohemí." Robin responded.

"Let me be brief as to what I am going to say since I know you two must be tired and may want to rest. I will be able to connect you with different people who will be able to protect you from the eyes of Solomon. Right now they are not our friends. The secrets you will find will be the key in finally opening the heart of the one person within the agency that will be our savior. Not only will that person's heart will come to the realization but the secrets learned will open the flood gates of knowledge that has been kept for thousands of years. Please understand I mean only goodwill to the both of you.

My mother was a witch her mother before so was her mother. Our family the witches were only woman. Although my family a very wealthy family for more than ten generations the witches in our family weren't immune to the suffering of the burnings. Countless of them lost their lives to these individuals that called them heretics even some of our own family turned on many of their own blood. My family has dwindled down to me alone now. Because of them turning against each other because of this underground organization each generation their was less of us. Me being barren I was unable to birth a child. Once I die so will my family and this…"

Changing what she was about to say the Condesa continued, "Well, now that I have laid my eyes on you Robin our hope the future may bring some acceptance whether widely or quietly known we can finally live in peace and fear no more of being burnt to the "modern" stake. I have always provided safe harbor for those witches that have come through here seeking help."

"Robin, I believe you are a very special more than any witch I have ever met. The least I can do for you is to facilitate your chance to understand the knowledge that has been entrusted within you." The Condesa began to get up without giving anyone a chance to speak.

"But, I want…" Robin began to speak as the Condesa interrupted her… "We can speak further tomorrow. I'm really tired, old and I need my rest. Forgive me, I promise tomorrow we will speak more again." she paused at the door "Amon, care to walk an old woman to her room. I know you want to look around and the walk will give you that opportunity."

"Robin I will be right back, ok…" Amon said as he got up to walk the Condesa back to her room.

Condesa Nohemí and Amon left the room leaving Robin alone in the large sitting room. Robin sensing that she would be ok got up and started looking into the bedrooms. Finding a room that suited her she went ahead and took her luggage into the room. She decided to take a nice warm bath this was a luxury that she hasn't been able to have in weeks.

Amon didn't say anything as he walked the Condesa to her room. Once they arrived to her bedroom door she grabbed his arm. He saw for a moment her blue eyes flash brightly as she looked into his. "Amon, let go of that anger it will consume you and you will lose her. Is that what you want? I will not reveal more than I think I should dare… trust me when I say she is your savior she is yours for as long as you love her. Accept the powers that your witch blood has given you and let not the prejudice blind you of your true destiny. Remember Robin's survival is dependant of you. If you turn your back on her she will be consumed by the grief of her heavy load that has been unwillingly bestowed upon her and she will die." Her eyes returned its normal hue of blue as she sighed softly. "Thank you for taking me to my room. I will take my leave. You may look around as much as you desire. If you find the secret passages… which I doubt but if you are witty enough to find any of them don't go into them until I show you around. I don't want you to get lost. Good Night."

Amon wasn't sure what shocked him more. "Love her?" He decided to take the Condesa's offer and went looking around the palacio just to be sure that they were going to be safe here. Was he in love with Robin he thought to himself..."Love Robin?"

It had been a while since Amon had left to take the Condesa back to her room. This caused Robin to worry however she stayed in the room as he had asked her. She was waiting for him at the terrace that was connected to their apartment as he quietly walked in.

"You're back. I was worried." Robin said softly

Amon looked at Robin thoughtfully thinking what the Condesa had said. "Could it be possible that I love her? But, how? I never have allowed myself for this to happen. I've always managed to stop those feelings before it got out of control. And what power is it that I will have?" he said to himself as Robin looked at him worriedly.

Wondering if he even heard what she said Robin asked again, "Are you ok, Amon?"

"Huh? Yes, yes I'm ok." as he tried to refocus his thoughts. He noticed that she was standing by the terrace's large French doors… "Isn't it a bit cold to be outside in a night gown and robe?"

"A not really. It's so beautiful out here you should come and see it. I almost forgot how the night sky looked here in Italy."

Coldly he responded, "No, that's ok. I will go out and see it later. I'm tired now." as he started to walk toward the room that had his bag in front of the doors.

"Amon?" Robin said timidly.

"Yes?" Amon responded with a hit of irritation in his voice.

"I, I want to thank you, for everything that you have done for me. You didn't have to do any of it. I don't want to burden you but I have no one else to turn to. You are all that I really have in this world." Robin stood looking at him for hopes that he may respond in a softer tone.

Amon's mood would vary from time to time. He would sometimes was kind and considerate doing things for her that would surprise Robin. While other times he his mood would change and he would treat her with a fierce cold manner making Robin many times feel that she was a burden to him. She had learned how to ignore his moodiness realizing that he really wasn't a bad person. He was a person unable at the moment to learn to enjoy life. It was Robin's full intention to slowly break that barrier he had created for himself.

Something in the tone of her of her voice made Amon turn back to walk toward where Robin was standing. He sensed a hit a rising fear within her. All this time she has been so courageous but now it seemed to him that it was getting to her. He didn't want her to break down on him which was the last thing he wanted. But what if it…? Is it that she thinks I will tire of her or that I will eventually kill her to get her off my hands? He thought to himself as he gently reached and grabbed her fragile soft silky arms for the first time in a year they have been on the run. "Look Robin we have come a long way… I will not abandon you. Tomorrow we will start working on putting together the rest of the clues in these notes and see where it takes us. I have a good feeling about it. I know we will find something here that will help us understand." he said reassuringly as a sudden surge flowed through him unlike he had ever known.

"I hope so Amon. I'm frightened of this unknown. I have never felt so scared and out of control in my life. We're here in Italy so close to Solomon headquarters, if they were to find us here they will come after us." as she laid her face in Amon's chest as little sob escaped her.

Lifting her chin up so he could see full view of her beautiful face "Hey, I told you it will be ok. I want you to remember something if all our investigations result with nothing we will take another approach. Ok! I promise that I will always keep you safe as long as live." His gaze was locked into her green eyes that were capturing the moon's light making her eyes look like they were brilliant emeralds in the semi-dark common area. Amon felt that feeling again that he always kept in check. Why did I touch her? I knew once I did I wouldn't be able to keep this feeling in control! He thought to himself.

Robin felt so safe being in his arms it was a feeling that she did not want to let go of. As he held her in his strong muscular arms, looking dreamily into her eyes she wanted to kiss him. What if he didn't… she was afraid to pull forward. She never had kissed anyone before. Being so close to him made her shiver as she closed her eyes suddenly she felt his soft lips brush softly over her's. Their first kiss started slowly as the kisses progressed in a fierce passion that they always held back from each other.

As Sudden as they had started kissing Amon stopped and pushed Robin away from him briskly, "I, I'm sorry I shouldn't have…it was wrong of me." as he tried to release from her embrace.

Robin tried to hold him in her embrace as she said, "Amon, wait!"

"No Robin! I have to keep a clear focus. You, you're too…" he hesitated as for searching for an excuse that she would accept. "If I get too involved with you I will miss something and I could never forgive myself if anything happened to you." as he finally was able to release himself from the embrace that held them together.

"Amon, I wanted you to kiss me… I, I love you Amon." Robin said, as she realized she wasn't able to hold her feels any longer to herself.

Amon's smile was full of mix happiness and sadness at the same time. "Oh Robin. I don't know what will become of us. But for now we must not let this happen again." and walked away without giving Robin a chance to respond. As he opened the door to his room without turning around he said softly in a voice only audible to him "Robin, I love you more than you can imagine… but we can't…"

Robin feeling even more miserable than what she had felt earlier went into her room and cried herself to sleep

Amon went into his room feeling terrible of what had just happened. "Dammit, I know shouldn't have. I just couldn't help it" as he threw himself on the bed feeling miserable.
