Chapter 5: Family and Friends, Play Around with Love
" How's he doing?" Sakaki asked
" Looks good," Karasuma replied
Amon closed his eyes and composed himself and then opened his eyes and looked at his target. A wave of energy forced his target down.
" It's off the charts, he really needs to control it," Michael said
" Send Hikari in," Karasuma said
Michael looked at Hikari and Robin and Robin opened the door.
" Amon, Hikari's in," Karasuma said
Amon nodded and knelt down as he breathed deep.
" Don't force your power," Hikari said, " Work with it."
Amon looked up at Hikari and stood up, she grabbed his hand lifted her hand.
" You can feel it and understand it if you focus within yourself," Hikari said, " Watch."
Hikari closed her eyes and clasped her hands together then with a flip of her wrist the sudden wave of energy flew at the target making a stab. She then did another, which only left an indention. Amon looked at her and remembered that it was weeks ago that her powers were extremely out control. Hikari placed his hands together and then placed hers on his hand.
" Mommy showed me this one," she said, " We're family so we have the same power."
Hikari closed her eyes and Amon watched her, his hands felt warm, but then they were cold. Hikari opened her eyes and looked at him.
" What just happened?" He asked
" Our powers deals with waves from all over the world. We collect those waves when we want to use them. The cool icy waves from the north too the tropical waves and stillness of the equator," Hikari said
Karasuma watched as Hikari was instructing Amon on the use of his powers.
" So they use wave lengths," Karasuma said, " Any kind?"
" I guess," Michael said
Karasuma sat down and sighed and then buzzed in.
" Amon, your looking a little tiered there, how about a break?" Karasuma said
Amon stood up and took Hikari's hand and lead her out. Robin smiled and walked with them back to the office.
" So, first day of training those powers, how do you feel?" Sakaki asked
" Warn out," Amon replied
" Stress, the number one cause of death," Sakaki replied
Karasuma handed him a glass of water and towel to wipe the sweat off his face.
" So, wavelengths, you could be dangerous Amon," Karasuma said, " Don't lose control."
" It's going to take time," Amon said
Amon leaned back and breathed a little, the new awaken powers only caused him more stress, he wasn't made to have powers, he shouldn't have inherited them, but he did. Hikari looked at him and smiled and grabbed his hand.
" Don't worry you'll get it," Hikari said
Karasuma smiled and walked back where she poured a cup of coffee and sat in the back to finish some work. Doujima walked in the back and saw her work and she shook her head.
" Miho, you don't have to pick up the slack like before," Doujima said
Karasuma looked over and said, " Until Amon is ready to go back as a full hunter I have to. He's disabled with the uncontrolled power."
" He'll get it, he's got Hikari to help him," Doujima said
She walked over and sat down next to Karasuma, the two of them picked up a conversation and talked for a few minuets. Doujima placed her left hand on the desk and Karasuma saw the beautiful ring.
" Oh, Yurika it's beautiful," Karasuma said, " Have you two set a date?"
" Well, we're thinking in April," Doujima replied
" That sounds really nice, so are you ready to take a new last name?" Karasuma asked
Doujima nodded and gave a sigh and then she looked at Karasuma. Karasuma had a sadden look on her face.
" Miho," Doujima said
" Yes," Karasuma replied
" I'm sorry you and Amon, never really worked out," Doujima said, " I was hoping it would."
" It's alright maybe it was the best," Karasuma said, " But I have to move on."
Doujima nodded and then hugged Karasuma, telling her that she'll find someone as good as Nagira, but the truth is she really did find someone she liked being around, have a conversation with. She enjoyed Amon's company and would love to treasure each conversation they had even if it didn't deal with love or partnership. No, matter how far Amon pushed her away she remained by his side to support him. Karasuma knew that he would learn to adjust and become open to what he felt, like that night.
That evening Amon drove home with Hikari asleep in the back seat and heavy thoughts weighing on his mind. He was a little afraid of these awaken powers that came to him in a sudden fashion, but most he was afraid of hurting those around him, the ones he cared for the most. Hikari was the only family that he knew of that had the same powers, but would she be enough to suppress the fears he had in accepting the powers? He pulled up and got Hikari out and took her to her room, there he changed her into her night clothes and tucked her in. He walked to the living room and closed his eyes and fell asleep on the couch.
A few days past and Amon worked on his control and handling the power, all watched seeing progress being made. It would be another week or so before his powers were his to control and practicing would be less cause they would come natural to him. Amon and Robin took chances on hunts and Amon used his gun and not his powers. Robin looked at him seeing his hand shaking after using the gun. She grabbed his hand Amon looked at her.
" Your doing fine Amon," she replied
She guided him back to the car and they remained silent through the ride to the STN-J. Karasuma monitored Amon's body as he used his powers seeing that he was trying to suppress the awaken power instead of using it, like it was suppose to.
" Amon, stop," she shouted, " Your going to hurt yourself."
Hikari would try to work with him, but there wasn't much she could do. Karasuma watched as the reality of a power like Amon's eating away at him. She sighed and walked into the room and Amon looked up. She walked over to him and knelt beside and handed him some water.
" Don't suppress it," she whispered, " Let it become apart of you."
Amon sipped the water and she placed her hand on his face and placed a kiss on his forehead.
" I've lived this long with mine even when they failed," Karasuma said, " So can you."
Amon stood up and Karasuma stood up and then turned around.
" Karasuma," he said
" Yes, Amon," she replied
" Thank you," he said
" Your welcome," Karasuma said, " After all what are friends for."
She walked off and Amon watched her and closed his eyes. Suddenly Karasuma's words had encouraged him and he was willing to focus on the power he had. Karasuma watched him and she smiled then looked at Michael.
" You could have told him how your really felt," Michael said
" Now's not the time," Karasuma said
She walked off and Michael monitored Amon as Karasuma went to lunch. She sat at the bar and Harry brought her some coffee.
" You seem a little stress," Harry said, " Are you well?"
" I'm working over time helping Amon out while he's trying to control his power," Karasuma said
" He's lucky to have someone like you as his co-worker," Karasuma said
A month past and Karasuma looked at Doujima as she tried on a dress or two
" Alright Miho, so I heard you and Amon went out, is this a new beginning?" Doujima asked
" No, we're just friends," Karasuma said
Doujima's phone rang and Doujima went to reach for it. Karasuma reached for it and saw it was Nagira's number.
" It's Nagira, want me to answer it," Karasuma asked
" Sure," Doujima replied
Karasuma pressed the talk button and answered it.
" Hello, Karasuma," Karasuma answered
" Hi Karasuma, is my lovely fiancé about?" Nagira said
" She's getting fitted for that beautiful wedding dress," Karasuma said
" May I speak to her?" Nagira asked
" Sure, but how bad do you want her?" Karasuma teased
Doujima walked over and took her phone from Karasuma.
" Hi honey," Doujima said, " Karasuma's a little out of it these days."
" I can tell," Nagira replied, " When should I meet you for dinner with your family."
" Oh, 7," she replied, " Are Hikari and Amon going?"
Karasuma looked up and Doujima smiled seeing she got her attention. She started walking away and let the tailor finish the dress. She hung up and tossed the phone to Karasuma.
" Family dinner party," Doujima said
" Oh, I guess your parents have to meet the groom to be," Karasuma replied
" Amon needs a date," Doujima said
" If your hinting for me to keep trying, it won't work," Karasuma said, " Tell him to take Touko or Robin."
" Robin's going with Sakaki tonight and Touko has a dinner date," Doujima said, " if your not going as Amon's date come as the sister I never had."
Karasuma sighed and shook her head.
" I'll go to the rehearsal dinner and your wedding, I can't go to your family dinner party," Karasuma said
" It would mean the world to me," Doujima said
Karasuma looked up from the magazine and saw Doujima, giving her classic pleading look.
" Ok fine," Karasuma said, " What time?"
" It's for 7, but if you want I can send a ride to pick you up," Doujima said
" Oh ok, what should I wear?" Karasuma asked
" What you wear to work or a black dress casual slightly," Doujima said
Karasuma nodded and Doujima showed her the dress that she would be wearing as her maid of honor and got fitted for it. She left and went out to lunch and then went back to work. Amon was gone and she sighed with relief and got to work.
By 5:30 she left and went home and cleaned up and she pulled out a black dress, the same dress she wore to Amon's. She sighed and got dressed and grabbed a purse, then her phone rang.
" Karasuma," she answered
" I'm on my way wait for me out front," Amon's voice came over the line
" Alright," Karasuma said
She sighed knowing that Doujima and Nagira had set this up and she wasn't liking it. She sprayed some perfume and then headed down placing a long coat on over her dress coat. She walked outside and looked at her watch seeing it was now 6:45 and she was becoming nervous.
" Why am I shaking like a child?" she thought
Amon pulled up and Karasuma walked to the car and got in. She buckled up and Amon pulled out.
" Hey Ms. Karasuma," Hikari said
" Hi Hikari, how are?" She asked
" I'm fine, I was wondering when I'd see you again," Hikari said
Karasuma smiled and looked up front and Amon looked over once in awhile. He looked in the review mirror to see Hikari staring out. He pulled up 5 minuets til 7 and saw Doujima pulling up at the restaurant with Nagira. Karasuma got out and Doujima smiled and saw Amon get out and then Hikari. Hikari walked over and hugged Nagira and took Doujima's hand.
" I'm glad you came Miho," Doujima said, " It wouldn't be the same without you."
" Thanks for inviting me," Karasuma said
Amon walked in with Nagira and got the table.
" So, did you talk to her any?" Nagira asked
" No, I don't think it really is any of your business," Amon said
Nagira smirked and ordered a drink for the both of them. Doujima, Hikari and Karasuma walked in and Hikari looked at Amon as he looked over. She smiled and walked over to him and he picked her up. They walked to the table and waited for Doujima's family to come. Doujima looked at Karasuma as she looked around.
" We're renting the place out for the rehearsal dinner and I wanted to bring my family here," Doujima said, " Best traditional food."
" I've been here a couple of times, it is a nice place," Karasuma replied
Doujima's family walked in and she walked over and greeted them and Nagira walked over.
" Mom, Dad, little brother, this is Shunji, Nagira," She said
" It's a pleasure to meet Yurika's fiancé finally, we've heard nothing, but the best," Doujima's mother said
" She's only spoke the best about her family and I for one am honored in meeting you," Nagira said
" So, you're a lawyer Shunji," Doujima's father said, " I was looking for a good lawyer."
" Daddy," Doujima said, " Don't scare him away."
" I wouldn't do that to my little girl," he said hugging her
" It's about time you finally get married," her brother said
" And when will you get married," she said hugging her brother
Amon walked over with Hikari and Karasuma followed and Nagira introduced Amon and Hikari.
" It's a pleasure to meet you," Doujima's mother said
" Do I call you grandmother?" Hikari asked
" Oh, you can call me that if you want," Doujima's mother said, " She's so precious, is she yours?"
" She's my niece, my sister's daughter, but Nagira and I take care of her," Amon said
" Oh, she past away?" she asked
" Yes, I'm afraid at an early age," Amon said
Karasuma looked at Amon and Hikari and Doujima's mother looked over.
" You must be Miho, Yurika talks about you as if you were her sister," Doujima's mother said
" Yes, I feel like an older sister," Karasuma said
" Are you a hunter too or do you work for SOLOMON?" she asked
" I'm a hunter, vice senior hunter, Amon is our senior hunter," Karasuma said
Doujima's mother smiled and said, " Well, it must be alright when your at the top."
Karasuma smiled and sat between Hikari and Amon. She sighed and knew she could make it through dinner and try through dessert.
As dinner past Karasuma got up and Amon looked at her as she excused herself. She walked outside and Doujima excused herself and followed.
" Miho," Doujima said, " What's wrong?"
" Yurika, I don't know how much longer I can fight back what I believe in," Karasuma said
" Amon, suffers too, maybe if you told him," Doujima said
" No, I know he doesn't have feelings for me, I have to accept," Karasuma replied
Doujima placed her hand on her shoulder and Karasuma sighed.
" You enjoy not Only Amon, but being around for Hikari, like a mother," Doujima said
" Perhaps I want to be with Amon because of that," Karasuma replied
" Then tell him, he will try to understand," Doujima replied
Doujima and Karasuma talked for about 15 minuets and then Doujima came in. She leaned over to Amon and told him something. He looked up and excused himself and grabbed his keys. He walked out and Karasuma looked at him.
" Doujima said you weren't feeling well," Amon said, " Let me take you home."
" Thank you Amon," she said
He opened the door for her and she got in then Amon got into the driver's side. He pulled out and Doujima and Nagira watched.
" Where are they going?" Doujima's younger brother asked
" Karasuma wasn't feeling well, so I asked Amon to take her home," Doujima replied, " So mind your own business."
Amon drove down the main street and he turned down the air conditioner. He made sure Karasuma was comfortable and his concern was well noticed.
" I'm ok Amon," she said
Amon looked at her and nodded then turned down a street where Karasuma lived and pulled up to the apartment complex. He looked at Karasuma as she sat there for a few minuets then turned to Amon.
" Thank you Amon," Karasuma said, " I appreciate your sacrificing the moment to bring me home."
She opened the door and Amon looked at her.
" Karasuma," he said
Karasuma stopped and looked at Amon as he met her gaze.
" I have another family meeting next week, Hikari's asked to stay home, would you care to take her for the night?" Amon asked
" I would love to," Karasuma said
" I would be in your debt," Amon replied, " I'll talk with you tomorrow."
Karasuma smiled and thanked Amon for bringing her home. She walked into the building and vanished from Amon's sight. He sighed and sat there for a second then breathed in.
Amon returned to see everyone was heading out. Hikari hugged Nagira and then Doujima.
" I get to call you Aunt don't I?" Hikari said
" You certainly do," Doujima said, " And I promise you I will help this old man over here get on his toes."
" I'm not old, I'm mature," Nagira said
Doujima smiled and hugged Hikari.
" Bye Aunt Yurika," Hikari said
Doujima looked at Amon and he gave a nod.
" That's no fair Amon, a nod to your sister-in-law," Doujima said
" Your not my sister-in-law just yet," Amon replied
" Right, but in April I will be," Doujima said
" I dread the moment that you say I do," Amon said
Hikari tugged on Amon's coat and he looked down at her and lead her to the car.
" Bye everyone," Hikari called
Nagira and Doujima waved and headed to Doujima's car. Both got in and sighed with relief.
" Meeting parents, check," Nagira said, " What's next my future bride?"
" Rest, until next weeks meeting," Doujima said
She leaned over and kissed Nagira and he grabbed her hand. Doujima drove to her apartment and Nagira grabbed a few things from the trunk, then carried it up.
" So, are those two ever going to get back together?" Nagira asked
" I hope so, they just have to get past pride and fear, Amon especially Amon," Doujima said
She opened the door and slipped off her shoes, and Nagira followed after her. She took the things in her room, then put them in the closet. She looked at Nagira and walked over to him.
" So, how are you feeling about getting married, to a witch hunter and SOLOMON Agent?" Doujima asked
" As long as you don't shoot me, I'm ok," Nagira said
Doujima smiled wrapped her arms around him and kissed his cheek.
" Bang," she whispered
Nagira pulled her close and lifted her into his arms then gently set her down on the bed. He then leaned over her and kissed her and she wrapped her arms and pulled him down.
" Yurika, did I ever tell you why I wanted to marry you?" Nagira questioned
" Only a dozen times, but each time is different," she said, " So, tell me Shunji, Nagira."
Nagira smiled and kissed her and looked at her.
" You're the sexiest woman with a gun, smartest woman that has pulled me out of a fantasy life, and the pretties woman alive," Nagira said kissing her
Doujima smiled and kissed him and removed his jacket and undid his tie.
" Your just a sexy lawyer, that can kick ass," Doujima said
Amon carried Hikari upstairs to his apartment as she mumbled little words here and there. He put her down and she stumbled towards her bedroom.
" Go take a bath, and get ready for bed," Amon softly
" But, I'm not tiered," Hikari mumbled
" I know, you can run all night," Amon said
She nodded and entered her room and Amon grabbed his things and showered in his bathroom. He finished up and got Hikari's bed ready for her to climb into bed. She came out with her hair braided and then walked into her bed. Amon tucked her into bed and looked at her.
" Uncle Amon, did you ever want kids?" Hikari asked
" I never thought about it," Amon replied, " but that's all changed."
" Your 25 years old and not married how is that possible, you deserve to be happy, to come home to someone who loves you," Hikari said
Amon looked at her and said, " I have a little girl right here that I have to worry about now. I don't have time to be the bachelor I use to be."
" But now your like a single parent and every single parent needs someone to love. Just like Uncle Nagira," Hikari said
Amon kissed her head and turned on the light next to her bed. He got up and walked towards the door.
" Ms. Karasuma's like a mother," Hikari yawned, " And she's always wanting to help you, like a wife."
" Good night Hikari," Amon said
He walked out and walked to the living room where he sighed then walked to the kitchen and pulled out a bottle that had a little less than half. He poured a glass and sipped it. He looked at the clock and then finished the glass he had, then went off to bed.
The next week came and Amon cleaned up pretty good and turned to Hikari who sat on his bed.
" Your tie isn't straight," Hikari said, " You act like you haven't put a tie on before."
" I assure you that isn't the case," Amon said
" You men never know how to put ties on," Hikari said, " I'll fix it, I watched my mommy put my daddy's tie on him."
Amon gave her a look and walked over and she stood up on his bed and fixed Amon's tie. She smiled and reached over for the cologne and handed it to him.
" You act like your going on a date uncle Amon," Hikari said, " Or maybe your dressing nice for Ms. Karasuma."
Amon gave her a looked and picked her up and put her down.
" Alright grab your things for tonight," Amon said, " I don't want to be late.
She ran off and Amon looked in the mirror then walked out and Hikari looked at him. He slipped his shoes on and Hikari grabbed her shoes and they walked out the door. Amon got her in the car then got in and he drove off to Karasuma's apartment. When he got there Karasuma was out waiting for them, she waved to Hikari as they pulled up. Hikari got out and hugged Karasuma and Amon grabbed her things out the back. He walked over and handed them to Hikari.
" Your looking sharp Amon," Karasuma said, " Oh, and you smell good too."
" It's only a dinner party," Amon said, " I'll pick her up at 9 tomorrow."
" Don't worry, I know. I have numbers of everyone," Karasuma said
Amon looked at her and knelt down slightly and kissed her cheek.
" Be good," Amon said, " Don't give her trouble, she has my permission to discipline you."
" Ok, uncle Amon," she said, " Just go."
He stood up and looked at Karasuma and straighten out black tie. He leaned over and kissed Karasuma's cheek.
" Thanks," he said
" Amon, get out of here, dinner plans," she said
He ran to the driver's side and pulled out and Karasuma smiled. She looked at Hikari and helped her with some things. They got upstairs and Karasuma got her settled in a room.
" Ms. Karasuma I think uncle Amon got really dressed up to see you," Hikari said
" Really, what else does Amon do just for me?" Karasuma asked
" Kiss you on the cheek," Hikari said
" All guys do that as a thank you," Karasuma said
" Uncle Amon doesn't," she said
Karasuma smiled and put out her hand and lead Hikari to the dining room. She served her the special dinner that she took time and made.
" You and Amon think alike, he cooked this the other day," Hikari said, " It's my favorite."
" Really," Karasuma said, " I guess I'm going to have to try his version, but I'll tell you Hikari, a woman's cooking is much more serious than a man's."
Hikari laughed and Karasuma smiled, Hikari ate and drank the fresh made juice Karasuma made for her, instead of having water all the time.
By 9 Karasuma took Hikari out for ice cream and she found some things out about Amon.
" So, he doesn't really like fancy, more causal," Karasuma said
" Ms Karasuma, how come Amon is afraid to get close to people?" she asked
" I don't know Hikari, he's been like that since I've met him," Karasuma said
" He's changed though hasn't he," Hikari stated
" A lot, I think you helped, it brought a little hope into his life, seeing that his sister was a witch as well and had a daughter that could help him get through life," Karasuma said
Hikari looked at Karasuma and said, " Before my mother died, she told me something strange and maybe that's why I came to Japan. She told me to seek out uncle Amon, cause he was growing weaker by the day. Is there something wrong with uncle Amon?"
Karasuma looked at Hikari and saw a slight concern in her eyes. She wasn't sure what Hikari meant, but she knew if Amon kept fighting his powers it would destroy him.
" No, I don't think so," she replied, " I think he's healthy."
Hikari nodded and Karasuma looked at Hikari as she ate her ice cream. Karasuma sighed and wondered how Amon was handling the dinner party.
Amon looked at Doujima and Nagira as they seemed to be bathing in happiness. Amon was both happy, but he envied his brother's happiness. Amon stood up and excused himself and he went outside, he looked at the stars and the full moon that was presented in the night sky.
" One more month of this and everything will return to normal," Amon thought
Looked at his watch and saw it was nearly 10 and knew that Hikari was probably still up and about instead of in bed asleep. He sighed and then walked a little ways before he stopped at the end of the block. He could only feel the worry that crept up around him and the concern for his niece. He then walked back and walked inside and Nagira and Doujima looked at him.
" Welcome back Amon, we were just discussing the plans for the wedding," Nagira said
" Yes, Amon, I hope your ok with walking Karasuma down the isle she's my maid of honor?" Doujima said
" I'm fine with that," Amon said
" Sakaki and Robin," Doujima said, " Amon do you think Hikari is old enough to be a bride's maid?"
" No, she's inexperienced," Amon said
" Of course, then she will be my flower girl, but escorted by my brother," Doujima said
Amon sighed and looked at his watch, then stood up.
" If you excuse me, I have to get up early tomorrow for work," Amon said
" Oh, come on Amon," Nagira said, " Work isn't more important than this wedding."
" It's what pays my bills and feeds the extra mouth I have living in my apartment, that now wants a pet," Amon said
" Aw she's at that age," Doujima said
" At that age with only the one track mind of getting something," Amon said
He put his coat on and shook hands with Doujima's parents and shook his brother's hand. He walked off and got into his car and pulled out, then peeled out onto the main street, then went home. By the time he got in he was beat and ready to just fall asleep. He walked down the hall and went to check on Hikari, but then remembered she was at Karasuma's for the night. He undid his tie and changed his clothes. He went to sleep at about 12:30 and didn't wake up until 7. He started his day and called Robin, whom seemed to have forgotten who her partner was.
" Amon, she left earlier with Sakaki," Touko told him
" I see," Amon said
" Sorry, Amon," Touko replied
Amon hung up and relaxed a little then at 8:30 left for Karasuma's. He arrived ten minuets early and walked upstairs. He knocked on the door and she opened it.
" Oh, Amon your early," she said
" Should I leave?" he asked
" No, she's just finishing breakfast, come in," Karasuma said
Amon walked in and Karasuma walked into the living room. He followed and saw Hikari eating a warm breakfast with fresh juice.
" Hey uncle Amon," Hikari said
" I see, you survived," Amon said
" Of course I did, Karasuma took good care of me," Hikari said
" She has all of her limbs attached," Karasuma said, " I told you, you didn't have to worry."
Amon sat down and Hikari got up and put her dishes in the sink.
" So, where's Robin?" Karasuma asked
" With Sakaki," Amon said
" And here I thought you were her watch dog," Karasuma teased
Karasuma put the mail in her purse and then walked over and sat down.
" How was dinner?" Karasuma asked
" Ecstatic," Amon sarcastically remarked
" That bad," Karasuma replied
Hikari walked off and grabbed her things, then walked out.
" Ok, I'm ready," Hikari said
" Amon, are you taking the day off?" Karasuma asked
Amon gave a slight nodded and said, " Part of the day until Nagira can take Hikari."
" If it's alright with you I'll call in late, I need some help with picking out a wedding gift for Yurika and your brother," Karasuma replied
" Your asking the wrong person," Amon said
" Come on Amon," Karasuma said
" Oh, come on uncle Amon," Hikari said
" And I have to go try on my dress, and while your there you can get fitted for a tux," Karasuma said
Amon sighed and then agreed and Karasuma got up to clean up a little.
" So Nagira and Doujima are living together?" Karasuma asked
" I wouldn't know," Amon said
" Cause I called to leave a message and Doujima and Nagira have a message together on the answering machine," Karasuma replied
By early afternoon the day began, Amon and Karasuma made their first stop at the a tailor's. Amon was fitted for a tux and Karasuma smiled at him as he watched the tailor fit him. She walked in the back and tried on the dress and Amon looked at her as she came out. Hikari smiled and Karasuma looked at Amon in the tux..
" Not a new color for you Amon," Karasuma said
" Why change if it's for one day?" Amon said
She stepped on the platform and the tailor looked at it.
" How do I look?" Karasuma asked
" You look pretty," Hikari said, " Doesn't she uncle Amon?"
Amon looked at Karasuma and stared at her for a second then turned away.
" You look nice," Amon replied
" Come on Amon, what do you really think?" Karasuma asked
" You look very nice," Amon replied
Karasuma shook her head and then walked to the back and changed. She took the dress to the tailor and paid for it. Amon paid for his tux which he would come back for. The three of them went around searching the perfect gift. Karasuma looked at Amon as he looked around and Hikari picked something out. Amon placed it back and herded her back to the front. Karasuma looked at Amon as he looked puzzled.
By 1 Karasuma had found something and the three went to lunch. Amon looked up at Karasuma as she tried to decide on something.
" A salad," Karasuma said
" A woman's choice," Amon said
She looked up and smirked and said, " Look who's talking, you have poor Hikari on a water diet, and light on the oils."
" She's right uncle Amon," Hikari said
" A salad has what two leaves and a tomato," Amon said
" What are you getting?" Karasuma said
" A traditional dish," Amon said
Karasuma smirked and said, " Meaning low in salt content, not to much fat."
" Balance meal," Amon said
Hikari smiled and looked at her menu listening to the two talk about low diet food. They ordered and ate and lunch and Amon picked up the bill and paid like a gentle man.
By the time they finished it was nearly 2:30 and Amon drove Karasuma to her car and then she unloaded what she bought into her car.
" Alright I'll see you at work," Karasuma said, " see you later Hikari."
" Bye Ms. Karasuma," Hikari said
Amon drove down to Doujima's apartment and went up to find out if Nagira was there. Just as he had expected his brother was not up and Doujima was still there. He sighed and got back into the car.
" Your coming with me," Amon said
" Yes," Hikari said
He drove off down to the STN-J and walked to the office. He pushed his way through boxes that blocked the door and looked at Michael who was typing away.
" What is this?" Amon said
" Apparently, they're wedding gifts, sent here," Michael said
" Get them out of here," Amon said
" Where do you want me to put them?" Michael asked
" Away from the door," Amon said
Sakaki and Robin walked from the back and Amon looked at them. Both lowered their heads in shame. Amon got through and Hikari followed behind him.
" Sakaki in the back," Amon said
" On my way," Sakaki said
Robin looked at Sakaki and smiled then looked at Hikari.
" It's been awhile Hikari, how have you been?" she asked
" I'm good, are you and Sakaki in love with each other?" she asked Robin
Robin smiled and slightly shrugged and Michael looked over at the two girls.
" Chatter somewhere else," Michael said
" Sorry," Robin said
Amon walked in the back and Sakaki stood there. Amon turned around and looked at the young hunter.
" What the hell were you doing in the back?" Amon said
" Nothing," Sakaki said
" I believe that, especially when cameras don't lie," Amon said
Sakaki shrugged and sighed then sat down.
" Do yourself a favor and don't get attached," Amon said
" Come on Amon, it's not like you haven't done something like I did," Sakaki said
" Never," Amon replied
" What about you and Ms. Karasuma sleeping together?" Sakaki said, " That's co-worker relationship. Late night work right Amon."
Amon looked at Sakaki and grabbed him by his shirt and pushed him from the back.
" Dignity, learn the word Sakaki, then we'll talk man to man," Amon said
Sakaki slight smirked and walked over and Robin looked up. He walked over to her and kissed her cheek.
" You two are cute together," Hikari said
" Ok, that's it," Michael said, " I can hear all the lovey dovey stuff through my earphones, would you take your office dating somewhere else."
" He's just jealous," Sakaki said
" Sorry Michael," Robin said
Michael shook his head and looked at his computer screen.
" Get a room," he said
" We tried, Amon got pissed," Sakaki said
" Get a hotel room," Michael said
Amon sat down and sighed and looked at his file work scattered all over. He narrowed his eyes and got up needing a cup of coffee.
