Chapter 4: Manipulation
Here is Chapter 4. I'm so sorry that I waited for so long. It would have been sooner except for that damn ACT and MAP testing. I don't own Witch Hunter Robin, but I hope to soon be a proud owner of Witch Hunter Robin DVDs. Well, here's to hoping. _______________________________________________________________________
About the same time of Robin's Prophecy
In Amon's black car, Nanami and Amon sat together in the front seat, getting ready to go home. Amon looked at Nanami with his black eyes. "Nanami, are you hiding something from me? Something about Robin?"
Nanami looked up at Amon in surprise with her intense, green eyes. "No, why do you ask?" she asked innocently.
"At Touko's, it looked like you knew her from somewhere."
"Why, that's impossible. Where would I know her from? It's not like you told anything about her other than a couple of facts. What I want to know is what do you do at work? It just seems so mysterious."
"You know that witch hunting agency that you've heard about on the news, the STN-J? Well, that's what I do. I hunt witches. Nothing else really. Why do you want to know? I'm very sure that you couldn't participate in the hunts, unless of course you have some sort of power. Now, you have to tell me what you do? I have no clue why we never talked about this before."
Nanami paused for a moment, trying to think up a lie for Amon to believe. "I'm a news reporter stationed in Japan from the US. I was born in Japan and my paper decided that they needed someone who seemed to fit into the area for top notch reporting."
Amon turned it over in his mind, thinking it over. "Well, technically, you answered it, but I was also looking for who you work for, too."
"Why, Amon, filled with lots of questions, aren't you?" She waited for Amon to give her a response, and when none came, she continued. "I work for the federal bureau in Washington, D.C. No one was supposed to know this, but I told you because I love you," she said blushing.
Amon looked at Nanami, also blushing. He leaned over and kissed her on her lips. "And, you know that I love you also. I've never felt this way about anyone before." He pressed his lips against hers again and she leaned forward and returned the favor. "I think that we should get to someone's house before we get too carried away with this," he said turning redder by the second.
They separated cautiously, trying not to get each other caught in the seats. Amon put on his seat belt and Nanami wasn't too far behind. Amon stuck the key in the ignition and started the car. Amon gave a sideways look at Nanami when they started going down the street. I wonder what she's keeping from me. What does she know about Robin that I don't?
"Amon, can we go to your house? My house is completely across the city. There's no worth in wasting a whole trip all the way through Tokyo. None at all," she said as she smiled slyly. What is she thinking about?, Amon thought.
"We'll be at my place in just a few minutes. Is there anything else that you want to ask?"
"Well, it's not my business and.... well, I shouldn't.... but I won't ask.... Never mind, Amon."
"What is it, Nanami? Just ask it, I promise that I won't get mad at you."
"You promise?" Amon shook his head yes. "Well okay. Why is Robin your partner?"
As they stopped at a red light, Amon turned his head so that his face was fully on her. He's got such sexy eyes, she thought. "Why do you care about Robin and I being partners? I wouldn't do anything to destroy your trust in me, and the reason why we're partners I can't reveal to you. I can't even reveal it to her. So, my turn, tell me why your so interested in Robin?"
"No reason," she lied. "Are we almost to your house?"
"No."
"What do you mean, no?"
"I mean that I don't live in a house."
"Do you mean that you live in this car or on the streets or something like that?"
"No, I mean that I live in a huge apartment all by myself."
"Oh, sorry."
"That's okay."
Nanami gave Amon a glance as they turned down another street and abruptly stopped. What's he think that he's going to pry from me? Amon stepped out of the car and hurried to the other side. He quickly opened the door and said, "Miss Nanami, might I ask you to come in with me?" Amon offered her his hand.
Nanami blushed suddenly. "Yes, Mr. Amon, I'd love to come in with you." Nanami reached out with her delicate hand and took hold of Amon's. "Your hands are freezing. I know a way to warm them up," she grinned mockingly.
"Your so beautiful and delicate. Oh, before I forget I have a surprise for you before you go home."
Nanami looked at Amon flushed. I love this man so much. How am I going to get him to rid us of the only person who stands in our way? "Amon, let's go to your room now. Okay?"
"Okay."
They started to go upstairs and at about the fifth floor, Amon stopped to see if there was any mail. There was none so he lead Nanami to his room on the sixth floor. As he entered his room he looked around the door to see if there was anyone else around to see that he took someone in with him. No one had seen Nanami enter with Amon. He was worried because he was always by himself and never tried anything like this before.
When he turned towards Nanami in the living room, he noticed that she had removed her jacket. "Come on, Amon, let's do this."
Amon walked into his kitchen and over to his refrigerator and opened it. When Amon stood up, he produced a glass bottle of wine. "This is some of your present." Amon walked over to his cabinet and got a couple of wineglasses out and popped the cork of the wine bottle. "Nanami, while I'm thinking about it, do you want me to call you something else? You know like honey, or something mushy like that."
"No, not really. I don't really care what you call me, okay, hun?"
Hun. "Okay, sweetiekins. That is what you get for calling me hun, you got that?"
Sweetiekins? "What the hell kind of name is sweetiekins?"
"So it's agreed that we will not give each other any pet names, okay? But if you really want to call me hun, it doesn't really matter, I just thought that I would try to throw it back at you. So ha," laughed Amon.
It was then that Amon walked back into the living room and looked for Nanami. When he didn't see her, he started to look around the house. He walked through his hallway to his room and opened the door to his room, and there, in the dim light, lay Nanami, in black lingerie, looking ready for anything.
She looked up at Amon with her big, luscious green eyes. "If you really love me, you'll do me a favor," she said as she crawled to Amon and quickly ripped off his shirt. Wow! A six-pack. I knew that this man was sexy when I first laid eyes on him.
"It depends on what the favor is. I could try to get you a desk job at the STN-J, if you want to work closer to me."
Ooooo, Nanami thought, very close to what I really want, but not quite it. "What I want is for you to rid yourself for all the feelings that you and Robin have for each other. I just have a bad feeling about her." Like she could mess it up for me, Nanami thought.
"About what?"
"I don't really know, I just do. You know how those things work."
"I've known her for a couple of months and nothing has been brought to my attention about her being bad or anything like that."
"Okay, I'll tell you the truth. I'm from the American government witch hunting program," she lied, holding her eyes steady, making sure that he was breathing in every word of the lie. "Did she tell you that she worked for Solomon Headquarters and from Italy?" Amon shook his head yes. "I thought so, she always uses that as her cover. She lived in Italy for a couple of years and moved to the US. It was then that some mysterious deaths occurred. People, left in ashes, whole buildings in flame, that not even a sprinkler system could stop. We picked her up immediately on our witch list. Robin Sena, 15 years old, and controls the powers of fire. When we first showed up, she had left the US on plane headed to Japan." She paused, again making sure that Amon was taking in the lie. "On her way over, she thought that the perfect cover was to hide in the open, in the place least likely to be discovered. The Japanese witch hunting program, or the STN-J. She called her friend in Italy to arrange that she could easily become apart of it. Father Juliano was his name, I believe." She hesitated again to enjoy the shock reflected in Amon's eyes. "So that is why I'm here. I'm hunting Robin. Will you help me?"
"You forgot to mention one important thing. Why did you not arrest her while she was there or why didn't she run away when she first saw you tonight?"
Great, gotta go impromptu again, she thought. "Those are easy questions," she said stalling. Then she had an idea. "I didn't arrest her because I'm not only out of my jurisdiction, but I also don't have my witch hunting gear with me, if I got into a fight. She didn't run away because she didn't recognize me because I just got appointed to hunting her." Nanami paused again, letting the lies take hold in his mind. If he really loves me, she thought, then he will believe me. She looked at him once again. "I didn't lie to you when I told you that I loved you. So will you help me, Amon?"

Once again, I'm sorry about taking so long about writing chapter 4. I hope that you liked it, because I wasn't able to give it the twist I wanted, but what can you say. I hope that you enjoyed it, good-bye. Hopefully I'm telling the truth this time, when I tell you that I'm going to update soon.
