*sigh* I do not own Witch Hunter Robin
Thanks for the awsome reviews....this is only my second FanFic so it's been a great encouragement to continue.
I am currently working on still adding chapters to my first one, Her Hell....I hope you all enjoy that one also. I started with the idea, but my brain go ahead of me and somehow this one started. It's been a trip trying to figure out how to tie the two together for the finale but I 'think' I got it figured out. Well that's my confession...(Robin's rubbin off on me) lol

Amon had finished most of his errands. The client meetings went rather smoothly. He'd just about finished his day when his cell rang.
"Hello.." "Hey Amon, were having a bachlor/bachlorette party at Harrys tonight, would love it if you came" Dojima asked, her high pitched voice ringing in his ears told him she wouldn't take no for an answer "What time?" he asked "Seven" "I'll try to make it" he told her "C'mon Amon, please be there wouldn't be the same if we can't celebrate with all of our friends" "I'll see what I can do" his frusteration growing with the impatient Dojima "Are you that uncomfortable around Robin?" she asked "I don't have time for this Dojima, I'll try to make it, that's all I can do" he groaned "Alright, that's the best I can ask for I guess, see you later then hopefully"
'uncomfortable isn't quite the problem' he thought steering his car towards the office. Once there he found Nagira chipper as always. "Heeeeello Amon, did you have a easy enough day?" "It's over, I'm here.....anything else to tend to before I head home?" Amon's frusteration with Dojima still lingering in his tone "Um I guess not, Oh hey...you going to Harry's tonight too?" Nagira asked "I don't know...I guess Dojima cornered you huh?" Amon inquired "Actually Robin came by to ask if I would be joining them" Nagira said, noting the sudden change in Amon's posture and expression at the mere mention of Robin's name....smuggly smiling to himself "I don't know, I have some things I need to take care of" Amon spat at his brother who immediately recoiled at his brothers tone. "Well suit yourself, I for one intend on having a great time, the wife is looking forward to getting out too" Nagira walked off whistling a diddy to himself. Amon growled at his brothers retreating back, before going to his car.
Amon thought about Robin all the way home, he wanted to see her again.....no he was burning to see her again. He'd managed to find out she was staying in room 407 but he realized he didn't know what he would do with that information seeing how Robin was obviously past the feelings she may have had for him at one time. Pulling into his drive he had resolved to stay at home that night. Not wanting to relive the awkwardness of the night she came to town. He decided it would be easier to deal with her at the wedding as there would be more people around to distract from the tension between them. He found himself something to eat, before perching in his favorite chair. He noted the paint chipping on the walls of his old house. Pondering he realized one of the charms of the house...it was much like himself....the outside solid and together everything where it should be. Inside it was falling apart. Eating his dinner slowly, with thought....he flipped on the TV. He found a channel that held his interest. He'd not indulged in watching TV in some time. Within minutes he was drowsy....he settled into the seat, propping his head on his hand he allowed himself a nap.
6: 30pm. ::::::::: Knock, Knock, Knock :::::::::::::
Amon heard a loud obnoxious knock on his door grumbling he got up and answered it. "Hey brother, you look like hell" Nagira said stepping inside without being asked "I thought you were going out tonight" Amon questioned him "I just wanted to see if you had changed your mind" he asked noting Amon had not showered or changed "I told you, I have things to do" "Looks like the only thing you've been doing is sleeping little brother" "I just have no interest in sitting around listening to idle gossip" Amon growled at his brother "Suit yourself, if you wanna wallow in self pity then go ahead....if you blow it this time you have no one to blame but you" Nagira's patence had worn thin, he was tired of tippy toeing around his brothers sore pride. "What the hell are you talking about" Amon bitterly choked out "You know very well what I am talking about Amon, that girl is the only reason your not going" Nagira glared at Amon who's face was turning red "Further more, if you had been honest she might have never left you, or did you consider that?" Nagira continued noting that if he did steam would soon be rolling from Amon's ears "I'm leaving now, I unlike some AM looking forward to spending time with Robin....I HAVE missed her" Nagira spun on his heels slamming the door as he left the house.
Amon growled in anger for several minutes glaring at the door. 'You have alot of fucking nerve brother' Slamming his body back into the chair, desperately trying to focus his attention on what ever nonsense was on TV. Anything to distract his mind from the fury that lay there. He sat fuming for several minutes, before suddenly deciding he would go to Harry's. His intentions.....to make Robin every bit as uncomfortable as he was. Grabbing his keys he rushed out the door.
He pulled up to the side of the building 15 minutes later. His position allowed him the luxury of seeing the others without being seen himself. He searched for Robin's form, finally finding it his heart felt like a vice had crushed it. She was stunning. She had her hair gathered loosely on top of her head, wisp of hair brushing the sides of her face, and neck. She wore a beautiful baby blue cashmere sweater that fit her shape perfectly, and a black skirt which felt to just above her knee. Her sitting position allowed him the luxury of eyeing her shapely legs. He noted Michael sitting beside her, leaning into her when she spoke. Michael had always had a thing for Robin, that was common knowledge. Robin had never shown interest in him though....now his attentions did not seem to bother her. In fact in Amon's mind she seemed rather welcoming of the attention. This image drove him to new purportions of jealousy. Fuming he forced himself to regain enough control to go inside.
Robin had dressed specifically for Amon, she had hoped that he would appreciate her appearance. When Dojima and Sakaki picked her up from the Hotel she was disappointed to learn that Amon would probably not be there. Still she remained hopeful. Nagira and his wife were already there when they arrived. Nagira told her he had gone by Amon's house to try to persuade him to attend but he refused. Robin's heart sank. Her hopes dashed she decided she would have to force those feelings down once again, for nothing would ever come of them. Michaels attentions were somewhat distracting however. She had always like him, thought of him as a kind gentle man. He seemed to want to spark a romance with her. He would indeed be a wonderful companion that she knew but he would never be to her what Amon was. However he would be great company while she was here. She decided she would enjoy his company and do her best to make sure he did not get his hopes up to high.
However the joy was interupted when Amon burst through the door. His dark mood written all over his face. "Amon nice of you to join us" Dojima the first to greet him. "Amon brother, thought you were busy tonight?" Nagira said recieving a scowl from his angry brother
Robin refused to look at him, picking up the tension without having too "My date fell through" he finally shot out, hoping the words hit their intended target
They did, Robin's heart winced......whether from hurt, anger, or embarassment over her inner desires she turned back to the conversation she'd been having with Michael.
Amon wanted to grab her by the back of the head and scream in her face to stop ignoring him. It killed him to see her there with that 'boy' his desire for her increasing with each giggle and smile she treated Michael too. Just as he felt like he was going to explode from the rage seaping from his pores Harry approached with his favorite drink in hand.
Nagira watched in amazement as his brother stood there visibly raging, only he knew his brother had no date that night. He had to chuckle to himself at the jealousy his brother possessed over Robin and Michaels close contact. 'this could be very interesting' he thought.
Amon chugged the drink, thankful for the calming effect of the alcohol. Requesting another he walked to the bar to wait. His gaze drifting over his shoulder, where he could now see Robin more clearly. She had applied very little makeup. As beautiful as she was he decided she did not need makeup, her natural beauty was already stunning. He also noticed her ears had a sparkle to them ...'she's gotten her ears pierced'. He also at that moment noticed she had been drinking wine. Harry's voice interupted his thoughts.
"Something on your mind friend" he asked "Nothing" Harry gazed at the table where they others sat "You know, I've seen alot of lovers here, some perfectly fitted others just going through the motions.....when it's right you know" Amon listened to his words, filing them in the back of his mind. Assuming Harry was talking about Dojima and Sakaki he replied "Thier love seemed to come easy" "Yes, it did....there are some who would say that the only real love is one that survives many challenges" Amon nodded without another word, allowing his gaze to slip to the group from time to time.
Robin noted Amon's presence occationally. Even meeting his gaze at one time. He seemed so full of rage she opted to avoid his eyes at what ever cost. When he finally decided to join them she felt a blanket of tension wrap around her. The evening dragged on for what seemed like forever. Sakaki and Dojima were the first to decide to leave. They had early appointments to complete the wedding preparations the following morning. Michael was next to voice his need to leave also "I have a early meeting in the morning" he said directing his attentions to Robin "Maybe we can get together tomorrow for coffee, maybe dinner?" he asked "That would be nice" she told him. "Ok" he stood, taking Robin's hand he kissed it delicately "I'll call you tomorrow then" he told her before finally taking his leave.
Miho who had been lost in conversation with Nagira's wife asked Robin if she had been enjoying her visit to Japan since she had returned. "It's been quiet, not quite what I am used to" she smiled....remembering briefly the chaos that had surrounded her when she was there last. "I have visited some places since I arrived" she continued The two women continued their private chat, mostly about the changes within their own lives, and what took place over 18 months prior with the shut down of STN and Factory practices.
Amon listened to the women chat, his own mind drifting to the past...........
** She stood there before him, her young tender eyes pleading for him to say something he could see her heart breaking deep inside those eyes. He couldn't bring himself to say the words that would have kept her there.....with him. She was so young, he thought her feelings would fade with age, that his own were out of sympathy and his own desire to protect her. His last image was her walking away from him....walking out of his life forever. That day he sealed his heart inside a dark prison....determined to forget about love, happiness and forget about her. That prison had entrapped his soul.....she was the only one who could free him.....and she no longer cared.******
Nagira watched the two of them fight within themselves. His frusterations with both of them elevating now. Was he the only one who could see what was right in front of their eyes? Harry's timing being what it was, he interupted the chatter....he had noticed her growing anxiety and hoped to rescue her even if momentarily. "I Have something for you Robin" he offerred her his hand, pulling her to her feet he walked her to the bar, where he presented her with a lovely single white rose, and a small cupcake. Placed in the center was a single candle..... he noted her inquisitive look. "To celebrate your return, and to beautiful woman you have become" he told her Robin smiled at Harry as the blush rose swept across her gentle features
Amon who had begun to feel the effects of the alcohol which he'd been steadily consuming watched the transaction as Robin blushed at Harry's gesture. He'd always found her innocent blush attractive, but now it was irritating to him. It triggered something he was hoping to drown at least for tonight.
Robin noticed that it was now just after 11pm. She was rather tired from the stress of the evening.. She said her goodbyes to Harry giving him a warm hug. She'd always found solice in Harry's advice and friendship. He was someone she missed a great deal. He'd been a father figure to her while she was in Japan, he'd never know how much she valued that. With a heavy heart and sigh she approached the table where she'd been rescued from earlier. "I am returning to the hotel, I hope you and your wife will join me for lunch someday before I leave" she asked Nagira "Definately, we were just thinking the same thing" he replied "Miho, I will see you at the wedding I guess" she said with a smile "Well we could make it a lunch date for all of us" Miho said "Yes, that would be great" Robin answered... With all the strength she could muster she turned to Amon "Amon, was nice to see you tonight....I'll see you at the wedding I hope?" she asked "Yeah, I'll be there" his tone unattached, he took another swallow of the firey liquid "Well goodnight, please be safe" Robin told the, hoping Amon would take heed to the last of her words. She walked out the door.
Amon watched her leave, his anger intensifying. 'She walks into my life after all this time, turns her heart over to another and ignores me like I am nothing' A fire somewhere deep inside his burst into a full blown rage. He forcefully slid from the table. "I'll see you at work" he said before leaving Nagira, his wife, and Miho stunned and dazed.
A smile crept onto Harry's face as he watched the brooding heartsick giant storm through the doors. Nagira was in much the same situation. A sparkle came to his eye as he watch his brothers retreat. He also noted which direction he had turned on his exit..........
Robin walked a few blocks before she noticed the presence of another person nearing. Quickening her pace she hoped to reach the hotel safely. It was only another half block up the street....the faster she walked the faster the steps behind her became. She spotted a open doorfront of a local shop.....knowing she would find safety in a public place she made that her target, just as she was about to break into full run something latched onto her arm whipping her around with deafening force. Her eyes sought the face behind the brutality....What she saw terrified her, the scream in her throat was silenced with fear............
