AN: I want to thank those who have replied it means a lot. I hope to get four more chapters a least and a little more detailed in the other two relationships that are in this story. I hope you will review this chapter even if it's just once. Give me ideas.

Chapter4: Striking in Anger

Karasuma followed behind the ambulance and became worried, Sakaki and Robin followed behind her on Sakaki's motorcycle and Doujima followed behind them with Michael in the car. Karasuma made the stop and saw Hikari waiting for her, she opened the door and Hikari got in.

" Doujima's on her way Nagira," Karasuma said

" I'll catch a ride with her," Nagira said

Karasuma caught up with Sakaki and Robin and followed them the rest of the way. Karasuma came to the hospital and parked then they ran in joining Sakaki and Robin in the waiting room.

" They just brought him in," Sakaki said

Doujima, Nagira, and Michael came in and they looked at the worried faces on their comrades. Hikari whimpered and Karasuma hugged her.

" Awe, sweet heart it's going to be ok," Karasuma said

Nagira looked at Doujima as she took his hands into her own and gave them a gentle squeeze.

" I told him not to go into work," Hikari said

" He probably felt fine," Karasuma said, " He's probably just over did himself this time."

Karasuma sat down and picked up Hikari and let her sit on her lap while they waited. She looked at Sakaki as he put an arm around Robin and she leaned her head against him. They waited and watched the time fly by as they did, Karasuma looked at Hikari as she fell asleep in her arms.

By 3 a doctor came out and Karasuma stood up.

" I wish to talk to family first," the doctor said

Nagira stood up and Hikari looked up and got down. She walked over to Nagira and took his hand. The doctor looked at Hikari then Nagira.

" What relations?" he asked

" Older brother and this is our sister's niece," Nagira replied

The doctor knelt down to Hikari and smiled.

" Can I speak to your uncle alone?" the doctor asked

" Yes, is my other uncle ok?" Hikari replied

" Yes, he's just fine," the doctor said

Hikari walked over to Karasuma and Karasuma picked her up again.

" The doctor said he was just fine," Hikari said

" That's good to hear," Karasuma said

Nagira walked off with the doctor and as she explained to him about Amon's case. Nagira nodded and sometimes shook his head, he answered questions, but he couldn't really answer many about Amon.

" Thank you doctor," Nagira said

He walked back and he looked at the group that awaited patiently to hear what the doctor told him.

" Amon's going to be alright, right?" Doujima asked

" He's fine," Nagira said, " He's just going through a change."

Karasuma put Hikari down and stood up and the others joined her.

" Can we see him?" Karasuma asked

" Yeah, just not all at once," Nagira said

" Why don't you take Hikari, Nagira to see him," Karasuma said, " Family should see him first."

" Ms. Karasuma can't you come too?" Hikari asked

" Oh, of course I'm going to see him after you come back," Karasuma replied, " So go see your Uncle ok."

Hikari nodded and took Nagira's hand and they walked down the hall. Doujima looked at Karasuma and placed her hand on her shoulder.

" Miho, you should have gone," Doujima stated

" I will go," Karasuma replied, " After they come back."

Nagira led Hikari to Amon's room and they walked in. Amon looked over and Hikari smiled. She walked over to him and hugged him.

" We were so worried Uncle," Hikari said

He sat up and lifted Hikari next to him.

" You don't have to worry," Amon replied

" So, what changes are you going through?" Nagira said

" The same ones every witch goes through, the awakening process," Amon replied, " The power is coursing through my veins and it burns almost."

" Uncle your describing everything mother said she felt when her powers awoke," Hikari said, " She said, that it took days before, then it cooled down and she became cold, then turned normal."

" Do you remember your mother's powers?" Nagira asked Amon

" No, I don't only that I vowed I would never let it happen to me," Amon replied

Nagira sat down and sighed.

" I guess, it's my turn to protect you and not Robin this time, it doesn't matter if you're a hunter Amon, they're going to come," Nagira said

Amon sighed and nodded, he leaned back and Hikari looked at him. She placed her hand on his shoulder and Amon grabbed her hand.

" Uncle Amon, are you going to be alright?" Hikari asked

" Yes," Amon said, " But tonight your going to stay with Nagira."

" You don't want me any more?" Hikari asked

Amon gave her hand a squeeze and said, " I'm going to be here tonight, you'll come back in the morning."

Hikari nodded and looked at Nagira, he gave Hikari a smiled then looked at Amon.

" Let's let the other's come see him ok," Nagira said

Hikari nodded and hugged Amon then jumped down and Nagira took her hand.

" Relax a little, it's a sign too," Nagira said

" Bye Uncle Amon," she said

Amon waved then closed his eyes a little, everything was going around. He couldn't understand why he could no longer suppress his powers, he was confused cause now he had to learn to control them.

Hikari walked over to Karasuma and grabbed her hand.

" Ok you can go see him," Hikari said

" Go ahead Miho, he probably wants to see you more than us," Doujima said

Karasuma looked at Hikari and smiled, she then walked down the hall to his room. She knocked on the door and Amon opened his eyes to see her.

" Karasuma," he said

" I don't know if I'm the last person you want to see in this room or the only person you want to see, but Amon I'm glad your ok," she said

She walked towards and took a seat next to him and he stared at her. She couldn't quite look at him directly, but she looked up once in awhile.

" Miho," Amon whispered

She looked up and stared at him, she then blushed a little and turned away.

" I'm sorry for last night," she said, " It was the wine, I didn't mean to do what I did last night. I'm ashamed of myself for letting alcohol get a hold of me."

Amon remained in silence as she apologized, he saw tears fall from her face and then she stood up.

" What's wrong with you Amon?" she whispered, " What happened?"

Amon turned away and said, " After 25 years my body is weaken from suppressing the powers that lay dormant in me. They're slowly awakening and I can't do anything about it."

Karasuma looked at him in complete surprise and she reached for his hand.

" You're a witch?" she asked

Amon nodded and gave her hand a squeeze and then turned to her. She studied his soften features that he now seem to give into, he was no longer the Amon, she knew once before. He was changed, he was truly a new man, and she saw it in everything he did, said, and wrote.

" Amon," she whispered

He stared at her and she did not break her gaze with him. She walked to his side and leaned over and kissed him. Amon didn't this time, but he felt the warmth from her lips and true feelings. She closed her eyes and used her powers to find out what he was feeling as she kissed him. To her surprise as she did she felt him kiss her back, she started to pull away, but he pulled her down and kissed her. He pulled away and looked at her and she slowly opened her eyes to meet his. She was about to say something, but he silenced her.

" Don't speak," he said, " Just leave this alone and use it as closer."

" Amon," she whispered

" I can't be with you Karasuma, I never could be with anyone," Amon said, " My work is my companion. I was meant to be alone and that's what I am going do is be alone."

Karasuma looked at him and shook her head, she then lowered her head, away from his gaze.

" A one day romance, that's all it was, I can live with that," Karasuma whispered

She turned away and walked out his room and walked to the waiting room. She let someone else go see him.

" Miho," Doujima said

" I'm going to go, I had my time," Karasuma whispered, " I'll see you tomorrow."

She walked out and then walked to her car and Doujima watched Karasuma pull out and drive off.

" Miho," Doujima said

She turned to Nagira and leaned against him.

" Nagira, I'll give my sympathies tomorrow, are your ready to go home?" Doujima asked

" Yeah," Nagira replied, " Come on Hikari."

Hikari, Nagira and Doujima left and Doujima looked at Nagira.

" Miho, left in a hurry, I think something happened when she went to talk to Amon," Doujima said

" She's probably just teary eyed over Amon's condition," Nagira said

Doujima dropped Nagira and Hikari off and she took off. Nagira sighed Hikari looked around Nagira's apartment, it wasn't as nice as Amon's but it was ok.

" Uncle Nagira, do you think that Amon, told Karasuma, he didn't love her?" Hikari said

" You're a little young for love, but no Amon's just afraid. If he's a witch he's just afraid he'll hurt someone with his new awaken powers," Nagira replied

" Oh, well I can help him not be afraid," Hikari said

" Well, family is what he needs," Nagira said

The next day Nagira brought Amon back to his apartment and Hikari was right there. Amon was ordered three days of rest no work that might put him under stress. He was given medicine to help relax him and all he needed was quiet.

" Are you ok uncle Amon?" Hikari asked

He nodded and she fixed him some tea and brought it to him.

" I'll clean if you want me too," Hikari said

" You don't have to do anything," Amon said

Hikari nodded and walked out his room and Amon closed his eyes and fell asleep. When he breathed in he got once in awhile a whiffs of a sweet smell. He then remembered those smells, they were from Karasuma's perfume that she wore that night. His clothes he wore that night had the smell as well, even though he washed them. He sighed and looked at the ceiling as he tried to rest. He knew the reason why he had pushed Karasuma away, it was the same reason he pushed everyone else away. He was afraid of losing those he cared about, he was like that ever since his family was torn apart.

By the evening Hikari made the attempt to cook something which really didn't come out right. Amon walked out his room and smelt something burning. He rushed into the kitchen and saw the mess.

" Hikari," he said sternly

" I'm sorry uncle, I'll clean it up, I promise I was trying to make you something," Hikari said

" Start cleaning it up," Amon said

She walked to where Amon kept the mop and broom and started to clean up. Amon watched her clean up and clean up the dishes, as she dried them one slipped out from under her hand and hit another one, which hit a plate. Hikari tried to catch it, but she missed it and it hit the ground. It shattered everywhere and Amon took in a deep breath. He knew it was an accident, but trying to rest, was no longer an option.

" Hikari," he said with disappointment in his voice

" I'm sorry," she said

She started to picked up the pieces and Amon knelt down and picked up the larger pieces. Hikari swept up and threw away the pieces, and looked up at Amon.

" Hikari get out of the kitchen now," he said sternly

She cowardly walked out and watched as Amon cleaned up the kitchen. Once Amon finished he looked and saw foot prints on tile leading towards the living room. He slightly gave a frustrated sigh.

" Don't move," he said

She looked at him as he washed the tile then rubbed out the stains in the carpet.

" I'm sorry Uncle," she slightly cried

" Don't cry," he said, " I don't want to hear it."

She wiped her tears and stared at him and then, he walked over and sat her down at the table. He washed her feet then put her down and looked at her, with a not so pleasant face. He wasn't pleased with the lack of rest he got and one more thing could push him to the edge.

" Amon, how come you told Ms. Karasuma you don't like her?" Hikari said

That was the straw that broke the camel's back. Amon looked at her and narrowed her eyes.

" That's none of your business, Your only ten you wouldn't know anything," Amon raised his voice

" I just asked, she really likes you and you really like her," Hikari said, " I don't see a problem."

Amon couldn't take it any more, Hikari had pushed him and he lost what ever patience he had with her there. His hand came back and slapped her across the face, he was stunned and Hikari stared and then there were tears.

" Why?" she whimpered in confusion

She turned around and ran out the door grabbing her shoes on her way.

" Hikari," he called

" Shit," he cursed

He stood there and breathed deep, the burning in his veins returned, he closed his eyes and tried to focus, but there was no use. He walked to the couch and fell on the couch.

" I have to get her," Amon whispered, " Hikari."

He couldn't move a muscle he was feeling weak and unable to move.

Hikari ran and didn't look back she wanted to head to the STN-J, but she didn't know which way it was. She then thought to head to Nagira's, but again she was confused. Her face throbbed and she placed her hand on it and began to cry.

" Mommy, come back," she cried, " I want to go home."

She went to a place where she remembered and then sat on a bench in the park and cried for her mother.

" I want to come home Mommy, I don't want to be here anymore," she cried

Amon regained consciousness and the first thing that came to his mind was Hikari. He remembered he had hit her out of pure frustration, and now needed to find her. He slipped on his shoes and ran out the door with his keys and coat at hand. He grabbed his phone out of his pocket and called Michael knowing he would be there.

" Michael," Michael answered

" Michael it's Amon, is my niece there?" Amon asked

" No, she isn't," Michael replied

" She's missing I need you to try to locate her as best as you can," Amon said

" Alright," Michael said

Amon reached down and looked at his list of numbers then called Karasuma. He knew that she would help no matter what the case was.

Karasuma put down what she was making and reached for her phone.

" Karasuma," she answered

" Karasuma, it's Amon," he said

" Amon, I don't feel like talking to you," Karasuma said

She was about to hang up when he said, " Hikari's missing I need your help."

Karasuma stood there and looked at the phone then lifted to her ear.

" I'll look for her," she said

" Thank you," he said

She hung up turned off the stove and walked out grabbing everything she needed. She got in her car and took off trying to think where she might be.

Amon called Nagira to find out if she was there or where she might go. He looked around the sidewalks, restaurants she could have wandered in.

" Hikari, where are you?" he thought

Karasuma stopped at the park and walked along the path way. She looked around and didn't find her. Her phone rang and she took it out her pocket and answered it.

" Karasuma," she answered

" Ms. Karasuma, it's Harry, I think you might want to come down here. There's a little someone who I picked up from wandering," Harry said

" Hikari," Karasuma said, " I'll be there."

She hung up and got into her car and drove down to Harry's, then rushed in. She saw Hikari sitting at a booth and she walked over.

" Hikari," Karasuma said

Hikari looked up and saw Karasuma walking towards her. She got up and walked over to her.

" Ms. Karasuma," she said

Karasuma knelt down and looked at her, seeing the mark on her face.

" Oh, what happened sweetheart?" Karasuma said

Hikari started to cry and Karasuma wrapped her arms around her. She looked at Hikari, then took out her handkerchief and wiped the tears from Hikari's eyes.

" What happen?" Karasuma asked

" I was trying to cook dinner for Amon, while he rested and he got mad at me for making a mess, then I asked him why he told you he didn't like you, he yelled at me telling me it wasn't my business and then I told him that you really liked him. He got mad and slapped me. I ran off, but he didn't come after me," Hikari whimpered

Karasuma looked at her and asked Harry for some ice for Hikari's cheek. He wrapped some up for her and she placed it on Hikari's cheek.

" I'm sorry Hikari, that he did that to you, he didn't mean it. Amon's under a lot of stress and he doesn't know how to handle it correctly. He wouldn't have hit you ever, cause he loves you like a daughter," Karasuma said

" Karasuma," Amon's voice broke over her own

She stood up and took Hikari by the hand and Hikari hid behind Karasuma. Amon walked over and she looked at Hikari.

" Amon, she's a little scared of you," Karasuma said

" Hikari," he said getting to her level, " Please forgive me."

Hikari looked from behind Karasuma at Amon, she saw he was sweating like he had been running. She lowered her head and stayed close to Karasuma.

" You hurt me uncle," she said

" I didn't mean to Hikari," Amon said

" I have a mark on my face," Hikari remarked

Amon put out his hand and said, " I'm sorry Hikari, I didn't mean to yell or hit you. I was a fool to do so. If you so desire you may hit me."

Hikari looked at Amon then Karasuma then back at Amon.

" Ms. Karasuma deserves an apology too, maybe she's the one who should hit you," Hikari said

Amon looked up at Karasuma and stood up.

" I'm sorry that I hurt you Miho," Amon said

She looked at him and grabbed his hand and gave it a squeeze.

" I accept your apology, but I don't think I can see you the same way Amon," Karasuma said, " But Hikari's not brave enough to do it, but I am."

Karasuma slapped Amon across the face and Amon closed his eyes for a second.

" You hurt two women in two different days, I don't think you should be forgiven," Karasuma said she reached over and turned his head towards her, " But every man deserves a second chance or two."

" What about you Hikari, do I get a second chance?" Amon asked

Hikari smiled and Amon knelt down and ran to him, she wrapped her arms around him.

" Yeah I think you do," Hikari said

Amon kissed her head and lifted her up into his arms. He looked up at Karasuma and she smiled at him.

" Let's go home," Amon said

" Home, that's right I am home Japan is my home," Hikari said
