Chapter3: Change the future

A week later Sakaki chased after a car, with a run away witch. He put more speed on his motorcycle and gunned his motor.

" Sakaki, be careful, don't approach to fast," Karasuma said

" Got ya," Sakaki said

The car turned a corner and Sakaki followed close and then saw the car stopped, then turned around to face his direction. Sakaki looked at the car and pulled his gun out, he aimed it at the car and shot at it. The car came at him and finally Sakaki shot one hitting the witch twice in the upper chest, problem was the car wasn't stopping, it only picked up speed.

" Shit!" Sakaki said

He got on his motorcycle and started it, then took off towards the main street. His motorcycle stopped and he looked back seeing the car coming at him.

" Come on start," he said

Sakaki jumped off his motorcycle and dragged it to the side. The car skimmed past him as he fell to the ground.

" Stupid bike!" he shouted

Karasuma pulled up and looked at Sakaki as he dusted himself off.

" Where's the witch?" she said

" over there," Sakaki replied

Karasuma looked at the car smashed up against the building.

" Are you alright?" she said

" I'm fine, I need a shower, but I'm fine," he answered

Sakaki looked at his motorcycle and sighed.

" Come on," she said

By noon Sakaki wiped off the dirt on his jacket while the other filled out a report. Doujima walked in carrying two bags of lunches for the whole office.

" I'm back get it while it's good," Doujima said

Sakaki dug through the bag and grabbed him.

" Sakaki, you smell awful what happened?" Doujima asked

" I was running for my life from a car," he replied

" You could go shower a least," Doujima remarked

" Where would you presume I do that?" Sakaki replied

Doujima shrugged and said, " I don't know, I was just saying."

As Amon briefed them on the hunt that was connected too the other case, Sakaki thought about the oracle's prediction about his future. He saw the dream that replayed over and over in the picture, but then he saw the light of hope. He looked down at his paper work and started to just doodle on it.

" Everything just seems to revolve around the dream like it's going to come true, the oracle's prediction, the dream interrupter's statement, but there's something that is missing," Sakaki thought

" Haruto, what do you think your doing," Doujima said leaning over.

" Nothing, I was thinking," he whispered

" Doujima, Sakaki do you have anything you would like to tell us?" Amon said

Sakaki and Doujima lowered their heads and listened through the rest of the meeting. Doujima nudged him and Sakaki nudged her back in the side. She looked at him and smiled.

" Haruto," she whispered

After the briefing Sakaki and walked over to Doujima's desk and tapped on it.

" Want to go for a cup of coffee?" Sakaki asked

" No, not today, Nagira's picking me up soon, we're going to check out some past crime sense," Doujima said

" Ah, so he's your outside source," Sakaki said

" Well, sort of, you see he's got connections," Doujima said

Amon looked up and looked at Sakaki and Doujima talking, and he gently tapped Robin on her shoulder. She looked up at Amon and he pointed over to them, Robin turned and looked, then smiled.

" Sakaki and Doujima, I didn't see that," Robin said

Amon turned back to the computer screen and Robin smiled, then returned to working. Karasuma walked in from the back and looked at Sakaki and Doujima and she shook her head. She walked over and stood over Michael's shoulder.

" I just don't see why people are afraid to admit their feelings to one another," Karasuma said, " They can get somewhere a lot faster, if they sucked up their fear and went for it."

" I don't know Ms. Karasuma, fears a powerful thing," Michael said looking over at Amon and Robin then Doujima and Sakaki.

" They are always together, and always talking about something, I couldn't see anyone else in their lives, but it's a shame only one is single," Karasuma said

" Maybe it takes a little more encouragement to see the truth," Michael said

That evening Sakaki rode down the main street and went to Harry's too his surprise Doujima was there…alone.

" Yurika," he said

She turned around and gave a smile.

" Haruto," she replied

" I thought you had a plans with Nagira," he said taking a seat next to her at the bar.

She sat placed a glass down and Harry took it.

" We went to dinner, at this beautiful restaurant, music playing, singers singing. We danced for a few songs, then the soup came, followed by dinner," she said then taking a sip, " By dessert everything was wonderful, Nagira walked over too me and he sat next to me. He took my hand and kissed it and then reached into his coat pocket. He pulled out a ring box, and opened it and purposed right there on one knee."

" What did you do?" Sakaki asked

" I…I told him that we have been seeing each other for 4 months, and that a decision that big was hard to make after just four months," Doujima said, " I was afraid to say anything after that. He told me that he loved me, and had fallen in love with me since that day at the factory. I didn't know what to say….I only started to cry and then I ran out."

" You did what!" Sakaki said

She downed another drink and sobbed, Sakaki reached over and wiped her eyes.

" I'm such a loser," she said

" No your not, your just not ready for that kind commitment," Sakaki said, " How many people have you dated before Nagira?"

" Two, in the past 4 years," she said

" Well, maybe you need to experience more people," Sakaki said as Doujima started to cry again

Sakaki sighed and put a gentle arm around her and took away her drink. He handed it to Harry and turned Doujima to face him and she looked at him.

" Yurika, your only scared, but the question is do you love him like, Robin loves Amon?" Sakaki said

" Like Robin loves Amon?" Doujima said

She wiped her eyes and said, " I don't know, I didn't think about it. I wanted a relationship like theirs and I never thought about it."

" Think about it Yurika," he said

She looked at her watch and got up, but stumbled back into her chair.

" Your drunk," Sakaki said

" Drive me home Sakaki, your just in the right place at the right time to save the day. Your like a superhero. Miho is lucky to have a partner like you," Doujima said

Sakaki looked at Doujima as she handed him the keys to her little red car. He took her keys and wrapped her arm around his neck.

" Harry, can I park my motorcycle in the shed?" Sakaki asked

" Sure, just get Ms. Doujima home," Harry said

" Thanks Harry," Sakaki said

Sakaki paid for Doujima's drowning of sorrows. He got her to her car, then got her in the passenger seat. He then went and pulled his motorcycle to the back shed, then got into the car. He started the car and pulled out and drove down the main street, but once he got there he was lost.

" Yurika, where do you live?" he asked

" Turn left once you past the STN-J," she said, " and then go down the third street from behind the STN-J. After that turn Left and then right on the next street. I'm the third complex on the left."

Sakaki nodded and drove carefully in the dark, but got her home safe and sound by 12:30 on the dot. Sakaki got out and got Doujima out of the car. She stumbled into his arms as she got out and she looked up at him and smiled.

" You are a good friend Haruto, Sakaki," she said

" I only try, now let's get you in," he said

He lifted her into his arms and carried her up the stairs then down the cool hallway. He turned to the left and there was her apartment. He found the key and opened the door, then walked in, slipping off his shoes and hers. Sakaki walked into the living room and laid her down on the sofa, and she opened her eyes.

" Can you let my cats in?" she mumbled

He looked at the sliding doors and saw two white cats clawing at the door. He walked over and let them in and watched then run to the back.

" White cats," he said, " Light breaking through darkness…when though?"

He walked over to Doujima and knelt down by her side.

" I'm going to go Yurika, you get some rest," Sakaki said

" How will you get home?" she said

" I'll call a cab," he said

Sakaki stood up and she grabbed his arm and he looked down at her.

" You can stay here tonight and I'll bring you home tomorrow," she replied

" It's ok," he said

" Haruto," she softly spoke in a less of a drunk tone

He knelt down and looked at her and she reached over to him and kissed him on his lips. Sakaki looked at her, then kissed her back, but then he pulled away.

" I'm sorry Yurika, I got to go," he said

Sakaki took off and ran to the door.

" Haruto," she called sitting up, " Come back."

He walked out the door and leaned against the wall. He looked at his watch and saw it was 1 now.

" Everything that was told me is coming true. I have to change the future. This isn't right," Sakaki said

He took off and walked to the STN-J and called a cab.

~~~~~Robin and Amon's Apartment~~~~

Amon opened his eyes from a restful sleep and looked around. He looked and saw Robin curled up in his arms, like she had always done since they got married. He kissed her head and breathed deep.

" Voices," he thought, " Who's calling me."

He leaned his head close to Robins and looked at her. He gently stroked her cheek with his hand and sighed.

" Is our child the True Power?" he thought

Suddenly there was a sound of someone in the apartment. He slid out of bed and drew his gun. He walked out and walked down the hall and saw two shadowed figures, he fired a warning shot and they looked at him

" Is that him Konki?" Kaon asked

" Yes, that is him," Konki said

Amon turned on the light and looked at them.

" How did you get in?" he growled

Konki smirked and gathered particles of energy into his palm and looked at Amon. Amon fired a shot and Kaon turned the bullet and shot it at Amon. Amon dodged the bullet and shot another one.

" Feel the power of true energy," Konki said

He shot the orb and Amon was slammed against the far wall. He slid down the wall and looked at them.

" What do you want?" Amon growled standing up

" Don't mess with us witch hunter, we've come for the un born child your wife carries," they said

" You won't have my child," he said

Konki smirked and walked towards the bed room and Amon fired a shot at him.

" Get away from there!" he shouted

Robin opened her eyes and saw Amon was gone. She sat up in fear and heard Amon shout. The door knob turned and Robin breathed deep as the door opened. She got out of bed and looked at the closet. She ran into it and shut the door, she saw Konki walk in and look around.

" Come out mother witch," he said, " Or I'll kill your husband."

" Amon, no," she thought

The were three bullets fired and then a rather large thump against the wall. Kaon walked and listened to deep breathing.

" Come out little witch," Kaon said

Konki vanished out of her sight and she looked. The door suddenly opened and Konki grabbed Robin out of the closet.

" Amon!" she screamed

Amon opened his eyes and balled up his fist.

" Leave her alone," Amon said

Robin was thrown to the ground and she scrambled to get away from them.

" I said leave her alone!" Amon shouted

Konki and Kaon stopped and looked around.

" That power," Konki said

" What is that power?" Kaon said

Amon walked to the bed room and looked at them, Kaon and Konki looked at him in slight fear.

" His powers they're awakening," Konki said

" Amon," Robin whispered

Amon narrowed his eyes and things around the room began to tremble. Konki gathered energy and hurled it at Amon. Amon blocked it and hurled it back at Konki.

" I told you to leave her alone." Amon said

Robin looked at him and breathed deep. She looked at the two witches before Amon as they hurled energy at him. He hurled it back at them and threw them back with just the movement of his eyes.

" Kaon, let us go there will be time," Konki said

The two vanished from site and Robin stood up. She walked towards Amon and he looked at her.

" Amon," she said

She wrapped her arms around him and started to cry.

" Will they come to hunt you?" she asked

" No, I won't let them," Amon said, " I have a new mission as member of the STN-J."

" What is that?" Robin whispered

" To protect you and our child that grows inside you," he said

Robin buried her face in his chest and let tears fall from her face. Amon wrapped his arms around her and kissed her head.

" The power with in me strives to be released, but I must suppress it," he thought

The next morning Doujima opened her eyes and found she had a pounding headache. She sat up and looked all around and then looked at her clothes.

" I'm still in my dress, why didn't I change?" she said

She got up and walked to the bathroom. She showered and took an aspirin, then walked down to her car. She drove off and got to work on time, but Sakaki wasn't there.

" Haruto isn't here," she thought

" Good morning Doujima," Michael said

" Michael has Haruto come in yet?" she asked

Michael shook his head and said, " He did, but he went to check something out."

" Oh," she sighed

Michael went back to his typing and the door opened to the office. Doujima looked up and saw Amon and Robin walk in, but Amon was walking with a limp and Robin had a bandage on her wrist.

" What happened?" she asked

" We were attacked by Kaon and Konki," Amon said

" Oh, my are you two ok," Doujima said

Amon looked at Doujima and said, " Doujima, go with Karasuma and find those witches. They are two dangerous to be on the street."

" We can't leave you two unprotected," Doujima said

Karasuma walked in and sat down.

" What happened?" Karasuma said

" They were attacked by those two witches," Doujima said

" They know where you live?" Karasuma said

Amon nodded and Doujima paused and slowly backed off towards the phone.

" Doujima," Amon said

She looked up and said, " Yes."

" Don't force yourself to call my brother if you're not ready to speak to him," Amon said

" How did you know?" She ask

" He called last night and told me," Amon said

Doujima felt her heart just shatter and she shook her head. She ran out the office door and Amon looked at Robin.

" Amon, what will we do?" Robin said, " Our apartment is no longer safe."

" We will stay at a hotel for now," Amon said

" But they'll find us there," Robin said, " Someone is watching our every move."

Amon looked at Robin then stood up.

" Michael I need that information on the oracle," Amon said, " Do it quickly. Karasuma I need you to head out and take Doujima with you."

" Why what's going on?" Karasuma asked

" The Oracle's predication is coming true," Amon said, " You and Doujima must stop Sakaki."

" But he's hours from here," Karasuma said

" Contact him," Amon said

Robin turned to her computer and pulled up information on the two witches.

" Amon, when are they going to strike?" Robin asked

" In less then three hours," Amon said, " Karasuma go."

Karasuma nodded and ran out the door. She grabbed Doujima by the hand and got her into the car.

" Miho what's going on?" Doujima asked

" Haruto is in trouble," Karasuma said

Sakaki slammed to a stop and looked around. He then took the next street and then made a 'U' turn. He went to the dream interrupter and ran up to the top floor.

" I need your help," he said

The woman walked out and looked at Sakaki. She looked at him and nodded, then lead him into the kitchen.

" Your dreams have disturbed your sleep," she said

" I need to know what happens to me after I come to shore," Sakaki said, " I know I don't die, so tell me."

" Sakaki, I'm sorry, but you must open your heart," she said

Sakaki looked at her and shook his head.

" To what?" Sakaki said

" What you feel," she said, " They maybe dreams that tell the future, but they are also what you want to happen."

Sakaki's eyes widen and he felt his heart beat against his chest. He looked out the window and saw the rain begin to pour down.

" Rain," Sakaki thought, " The oracle said, I would be pulled into the light, by something."

" The oracle, you mean Sora, a young girl," the woman said

" Young girl, yes, but she didn't speak her name," Sakaki said

The woman looked at Sakaki and placed her hand on his shoulder.

" Sora, is a witch of false dreams, she is the cause of this dream Sakaki. A witch of her status, was to make people believe what she says, but you must open your heart to what you believe. Break free of the shackles she had bonded you with," The woman said

" Everything is false, my dreams," Sakaki said

" Some things are, the woman in your dreams," she said

" Yurika," he said

He bowed and ran out, he got on his motorcycle and took off. The rain became harder to see, but Sakaki took his chance.

" Sakaki," Karasuma said through the transmitter

Sakaki heard Karasuma's voice and didn't reply.

" He's not answering," Karasuma said

Doujima looked at her watch and sighed.

" It's less than an hour that the oracle's prediction will come true," Doujima said, " And if it comes true. Robin and Amon will be attacked again."

"Don't worry Yurika," Karasuma said, " We can get back to them in time."

" I hope so," Yurika said, " Or I will fail what I was presented."

" SOLMON gave you another mission," Karasuma said

" Yes, one to protect the True Power," she replied, " I didn't want to say anything, but Amon and Robin's child is the True Power."

" But what does SOLMON want with the child?" Karasuma said

" To protect the True Power from the witches that want it," Doujima said

They continued to drive faster and the rain picked up, but they continued to try getting Sakaki to answer.

Amon and Robin looked at the clock and Michael sent files to Amon's computer. Amon looked at them and studied them.

" Robin remain here," Amon said

" Amon, what are you going to do?" Robin asked

" I'm going to help," Amon said, " Michael if there is any sign danger get Robin out of here."

" Alright, to the basement right," Michael said

" Yes," Amon said

" Amon," Robin said reaching for his hand

He turned and knelt down next to Robin and kissed her on her lips gently. He looked at her and pushed her hair from her face.

" I need to help them. Use your fire, but don't let them come near you," Amon said, " We'll see each other again."

Robin kissed him again and he pulled away and left. She felt tears fall from her face, it felt like the first time they parted since that day she became the hunted.

" Amon," she whispered

Karasuma came up to the bridge and saw Sakaki not to far from them, but there was no way she could catch up in the rain.

" Sakaki!" Karasuma shouted

" Miho, let me out," Doujima said, " I have to help."

" You can't catch up to him, by foot," Karasuma said

Doujima looked at Karasuma as she floored the pedal. She slammed on her breaks as she saw a truck pull out in front of Sakaki. The motorcycle flew from under Sakaki as he gripped the breaks. It slid and so did he, tumbling to the hard, slick pavement. Sakaki laid there for almost thirty minuets, trying to collect his thoughts.

" Sakaki!" Karasuma shouted

Sakaki pushed himself up and removed his helmet. He breathed deep and looked at the truck.

" I have to change the future," Sakaki said, " I can't let them come after me."

Sakaki reached for his gun and aimed it, he shot three bullets and they didn't do anything. His Orbo started changing a different color as the two got closer. Sakaki stood up with a limp and he aimed and narrowed his eyes.

" You should be more careful where your driving witch hunter," Kaon said

" Yes, it's dangerous little hunter to fight on your own," Konki said

" Shut up," Sakaki said, " I won't let you win."

" What a foolish little hunter," Kaon said

Their hands let up and Sakaki narrowed his eyes as they hurled the orbs. He dove to the ground and his Orbo continued to change colors.

" Not a smart move," they said

Sakaki stood up and they hurled two orbs. One hit Sakaki in the stomach and the other in his leg.

" My leg," he growled

Sakaki pushed himself up and used the bridge as a crutch.

" You can't protect the eve of witches and the unborn child," Kaon said

" I'll do anything I can," Sakaki said, " Your oracle's predication will be wrong."

Kaon summoned another orb and Konki did as well; they hurled them directly at Sakaki and this time he couldn't dodge them. As they came inches towards him, Sakaki was hurled into the river.

" Sakaki!" Karasuma shouted

" Haruto," Doujima said

" He's so young, how can they do that to him," Karasuma said

Doujima looked at Karasuma and got out of the car and Karasuma pulled her gun out and ran towards the witches. Doujima followed and looked over the side and saw Sakaki hit the shore.

" Miho, he just hit the shore," Doujima said

" Go to him," Karasuma said

Doujima nodded and ran down to the shore of the bank and slid down the hill. She came to Sakaki's side and felt a dull pulse.

" Haruto," she whispered

She didn't feel his breath on her hand and she shook her head.

" Haruto," she whimpered

She leaned over and gave him mouth to mouth hoping that would help. She pressed against his chest and gave him air. By the third time he coughed up water and turned to his side.

" There you go," she said, " That's it get it all out."

Sakaki coughed up water as Doujima rubbed his back. He wiped the water from his face and turned and looked at her.

" Doujima," he said

" What no hi Yurika?" she said

He shook his head and smiled at her.

" Of course, hi Yurika," he said

She smiled and said, " Hi Haruto."

Sakaki smiled and she gave him a hug with tears in her eyes.

" Haruto, I'm so glad your alive," she said

" Yurika," he said

Karasuma looked at the twins and narrowed her eyes.

" How can you be so evil to harm a young man," Karasuma said

" You're a fool woman," they said

" Leave her alone," Amon's voice came over the wind

Konki and Kaon looked over and saw Amon standing there, his black hair blew in the wind.

" Amon," Karasuma said

" Karasuma go help Doujima with Sakaki," Amon said

Karasuma nodded and ran down to help, and Amon walked towards them.

" Brother, his aura is stronger," she said

Amon narrowed his eyes and Kaon and Konki.

" You won't win," Kaon said

She threw an orb and Amon blocked her attack, his Orbo glowed and then dimmed.

" Well, your power is the same," she said

Kaon laughed and walked closer to Amon and looked at her.

" What's this, something's happening a power," Kaon thought

Konki looked at his sister and narrowed his eyes.

" Get out of there!" Konki shouted

Amon closed his eyes and said, " You want power so bad, but you are unable to take it yourself."

Amon opened his eyes and Konki felt Amon's aura, became stronger. Konki narrowed his eyes and closed his eyes.

" My child what do you want with her?" Amon said

" That child is a disaster an abomination," Konki said

Amon narrowed his eyes and things around Amon circled him

" Wrong answer," Amon said.

" Your telekinetic powers won't scare me Amon," Konki said, " The oracle has told us your still a seed, nothing more."

" Your powers, maybe powerful, but I have one thing that can put an end to your foolish chases," Amon said

" Really Amon," Konki said

Amon smirked a little and reached into his pocket and pulled the Orbo gun, but then removed the Orbo bullets and placed real bullets in it.

" I can't allow you to come near my wife, or my unborn child," Amon said

He looked at Konki and made a quick movement with his hand and shot Kaon with the gun. Konki looked as the bullet struck Kaon in the chest and Amon shot her twice.

" Kaon!" he shouted

Kaon looked at her brother and reached out her hand.

" Brother," she said

" Tell your Oracle that she will not harm what I protect," Amon said

Konki looked at Amon and narrowed his eyes.

" You will pay Amon!" Konki shouted

" No," Kaon said

Konki looked at her and she fell into his arms, as blood soaked her clothing.

" Your not the first witch I have killed," Amon said, " You don't deserve to be kept alive."

Konki laid his sister and looked at Amon.

" Remember this Amon, you may have power like that, but you won't live long with it," Konki growled

He vanished and Amon breathed deep as he removed the bullets. He walked to the railing and saw Doujima and Karasuma getting Sakaki up the hill. He looked at them and lifted them up to the flat stable land. He walked over them and Karasuma looked at Amon.

" So, it is true," Karasuma said

" Only what seems to be the beginning of my new life," Amon said

Sakaki looked at Amon and then Doujima.

" You hate witches, but yet you are one," Sakaki said

" I didn't chose to be, it chose me," Amon said, " You should know this by now Sakaki."

Sakaki sighed and said, " So, we are to hunt you now?"

" No," Amon said, " You are to work with me as you always have."

" That's right," Doujima said

Sakaki sighed and lowered his head.

" I just don't get it," Sakaki said he stumbled from Karasuma and Doujima's help and limped, but stumbled to the ground.

" Haruto," Doujima said

Doujima went after him and Karasuma sighed.

" Robin knows right?" Karasuma questioned

" Yes," Amon said, " Last night she saw it all."
Karasuma placed her hand on his shoulder and said, " Amon your blessed with a gift. Your child has someone that will understand them. Sakaki will get over himself, he's still young."

Amon nodded and walked to his car and replaced the bullets with Orbo bullets. He set in on the seat and took off back to the STN-J.

By evening a truck picked up Sakaki's motorcycle and brought it to the STN-J garage. He stood there as they pulled it in, he slid his hand over it's scratched up exterior. He used an old crutch to relieve pressure of his injured leg. The numbness still remained and he figured his leg was never going to be the same. He made it to the elevator and pressed the up button and walked in it.

" This day needs to go away," Sakaki said, " Why couldn't I change the future."
