I do not own Witch Hunter Robin
His car pulled to a slow stop, his mind still floating to images of her...and that last night he gazed into her eyes. *sigh* Turning to the young valet who was so eager to help he allowed the young boy to take his keys. He noted the elegance of the structure. 'Dojima you went all out didn't ya?' he wondered to himself. He got his room key, and made his way there. His mind intent on a relaxing shower, and maybe a nap. The drive up had done nothing to calm his nerves. Today like every other damn day since ......his mind had not been his own. She consumed him like that fire of hers consumes everything it touches. Amon closed his eyes, submitting to the torture his heart released on him. Her eyes, god he could die peacefully if only those were the last image he saw before he drew his last breath. He'd been so full of pride, so damn happy to keep up his wall yet she'd been the only one to break through and touch him. With a loud grunt of frustration he decided to turn to the one thing that had been a constant for him.....and he saw the bar on the way up.
"Yes...ok, thank you for letting me know" Dojima spoke into the telephone "He's here huh?" her groom asked "Yep, got here about 15 minutes ago" she told him "Well I wonder how long it will take before they find out they are next door to one another?" Sakaki asked, concern evident in his eyes Dojima just giggled....pulling him into an embrace "How bout dinner?" "Order in?" he grinned..... the two were indisposed for the remainder of the evening...
Robin had taken a relaxing shower, with futile efforts to find anything interesting on the television, and realizing she would not be able to sleep this early she decided to stroll through that lovely garden area she'd seen on her way in.
Amon had found a dark booth in the corner of the small bar. His friend chilling over rock in the glass before him. He'd had 3 or 4 already, and began to feel that familar warmth that rose in his blood. He hoped he would soon feel the mental blur that eased his troubled mind. His gaze drifted through the bar, into the darkness of the garden outside. He remembered the park Robin often went to when she wanted to think or just enjoy nature around her. He closed his eyes, remembering her poised on a bench....still as a statue watching the reflection of the moon dance on the water beyond. He had been ordered to keep a close eye on her. So he remained in the shadows. She was a woman comfortable here in the tranquility around her, different from the nervous girl who he knew at work... Forcing the thoughts back he lifted his eyelids...seeing her familar figure
His voice escaped him....Robin? His body betrayed him....he stood without realizing what he did....unable to take his eyes off the creature bathed in moonlight that was beaconing him to her. Each step seemed like an eternity.....
Robin sat quietly....her thoughts wondering to Amon, what he was thinking, why he hated her. Did he always harbor some resentment because she is a witch. She tried to force her mind to the joyful reason she was in Japan. She felt a chill sweep over her....she shivered slightly.....
"Robin....." his voice made her heart pulse, and her skin to tingle....turning slowly fearing what she would see when she faced him
"Amon" her voice trembling
He sat beside her, together they sat for several moments in silence. Neither saying those words they had practiced a thousand times before in their heads.
"Robin....I'm sorry" he could only hang his head "You startled me the other night that's all" she said "I don't mean...." "Amon....what is it....I should be getting to bed"
He felt she'd rejected him once again.....he fought to keep his frusteration from growing into anger before speaking again
"Please talk to me...." his emotion dripping off the simple statement "what do you wish to talk about?" she asked quietly A long pause broke the conversation.....
He lifted his eyes to gaze at her before continuing "did you ever...." his voice felt like it would fail him "Did you ever think about me?" he asked
"Amon...." "Please Robin, I need to know.....I can't...."
Robin had risen to her feet, gazing at the ebony haired man before her...she felt her heart twist into a knot.....he let her walk away....he could have stopped her from leaving to begin with. He knew her heart, yet he chose to close his heart to her.
"Amon.....I can't do this, I can't let you destroy my heart again" she spun around leaving him in the dark, his heartache consuming him. A silent tear rolled down his cheek.....
Robin rushed into her room, securing the door immediately behind her. She could not restrain the sobs brewing within her. Tossing herself on the bed all the emotion she had bottled up for over a year and a half came to the surface. Her body shook and tremored from the heart renching sobs she allowed to flow free. When she was to tired, and to dry to cry any further she felt the darkness of sleep consuming her once again......
Amon pulled himself together long enough to stumble back to the bar. He consumed several more drinks before finally purchasing a bottle to take to his room.
Robin found herself tormented by the familar dream she had fought against for so long...... "Amon....." his eyes cold and unconcerned "You should get going, be safe and take care of yourself" "Amon....I...." "Robin....you don't have time for this, your plane is boarding" She had hoped he would at least tell her he cared for her somewhere in his heart.....she would give her life for his.....in some ways she already had. She fled Japan to keep him from having to suffer because of her.
Amon propped himself against the headboard of the bed, he gazed at the bottle in his hand....'old remedy....but never the cure' he snorted lightly under his breath before taking a chug. He closed his eyes, enjoying the burning liquid coating his throat. 'burn me baby burn, chase away the pain at least for tonight'. He sat in the silence of his room....not even having bothered to turn on the light. He just wanted to stay hidden from the heartache, the world and ....her.
'AMON!!!!!!!!'
He heard the muffled scream...scrambling to his feet to seek the sourse he soon realized it was coming from the other side of his wall. He placed his ear against the cold plastered wall. 'Robin?' He could make out her voice, he could hear the misery in her voice....she was having a nightmare.....
He rushed out the door, banging frantically on the door next to his. "Robin, open the door!!" he screamed He'd woken several of the other guest before he saw a light appear in her window. "Amon...not now please" "Robin, just let me see your ok and I won't bother you anymore tonight" She relented, slowly opening the door.... "Robin, were you having a nightmare?" "Yes, now go to sleep" She tried to shut the door, but found she couldn't due to Amon's foot which he had placed inside the doorway. "Tell me what your dream was about, why did you scream my name?" he asked...pleading with all his heart "Why do you feel the need to know!" her voice slightly risen, she did not want to deal with Amon right now, she didn't know what she was feeling at the moment and did not think she could face him in this state. "I need to know because.....I love you" Robin could only stare blankly at him, he wasn't able to read her thoughts or emotion....fear of rejecton rose in his throat....his heart dropped. "Amon....." He heard her voice break, he gazed into her emerald eyes and saw them glaze with unshed tears. He brought his hand to her face....craddling her chin for a brief moment...."I'm sorry Robin....I'm so sorry for........everything"
Robin stood there, looking at this man towering over her. His arms braced on either side of the doorway....looming over her.....yet he was not intimidating....suddenly she found him approachable.....this was the Amon she knew was there all along. Her control over her tears gone they overflowed...pouring from her tender eyes. He pulled her into his embrace......she allowed him too.
He trembled...he was terrified....terrified he would wake up and find this to be another dream....he held her tighter....willing her to stay there. He was so tired of fighting the feelings....so tired of being empty....just being this close to her he felt his heart growing again....a spark of light emerge within his dark and battered soul.
"Just let me stay with you awhile longer" he pleaded.....
Ok.....they almost there.....hmmm....*thinking* Just kidding, I promise there will be some lemons in the next chapter.
