The morning rays rain through the think silk curtains of Robin's window. She went to the bathroom and washed the sleep from her face. She hated having sleep in her eyes. It already 6:00. She would be scolded if she came in late so she wasted no time in getting dressed and doing her hair. But once she went to open her door she took another glance at the clock. It was only 5:00!! "How did I make that mistake?" She shrugged it off. It wouldn't hurt to go in now. Sakaki, Karasuma, and Dojima always came in late and Amon was always hiding out anyways. Amon… "I forgot about it," she admitted feeling rather guilty. But the pain he gave her did not waver. It was still there and felt like a fresh spill of blood. Then she remember Michael and how he was there for her.
Only Michael was at the STNJ, as usual. He saw Robin and instantly stood up and walked to her. There were traces of concern and happiness on his face. "How are you feeling?" His hand rubbed her arm comfortingly and he drew closer to her, his head hovering over her own. Her own head was tilted down, looking more at the ground than him. Michael didn't mind, he found it adorable when she looked like that.
"Better. Thank you," she whispered and rested her head against his chest. He caressed her and nuzzled his head in her hair. It smelled of sweet blossoms and peppermint. The two didn't move from their position and just stood there. It was nice to be in someone's arms, knowing how they feel. But Robin then thought of Amon. Amon had done the same thing with her but then denied his affection. "Michael. What will you tell the others?"
Michael had thought about this himself. He had also thought of Amon's reaction. It was at that time he had realized there was something between Robin and Amon. But now Robin was his…and he intended to keep her at all cost. "I'm not sure how the boss will act. But I won't lie about it." He pulled Robin away to look at her. She had beautiful green eyes. "I won't lie about how I feel about you anymore. I've kept it to myself but now that…" He stopped and looked away. "I love you, Robin." The words rolled off his tongue and straight into her heart yet she hadn't planned on it. She hadn't any reaction to him but to stand there amazed. He smiled at her. "I'm not expecting an answer, Robin so don't fret about it."
Sakaki, whom had walked in at just the right moment to hear the, oh so famous, three worded phrase snickered at the two. "About time too," he joked as Robin and Michael turned and blushed away from each other. Sakaki settled at his desk, taking a bite out of his morning donut. "Oh, don't be like that. I already know about you two!" He sat down and beamed at them. "You're a cute couple."
"And exactly had did you find out?" Michael gave him a questionable glare. "Robin only found out a day or so ago, herself. How is it that you just seemed to know what was going on?" It was then it struck him… when Sakaki was looking over his shoulder at the file on the victims! He had a picture of Robin that he had been editing sitting out!
Sakaki laughed, seeing that Michael didn't need telling on how he knew. "Sorry, but when you see something like that, your brain starts putting the pieces of the puzzle together. Anyway…" He got up and walked to the two of them. "Miss Karasuma went to talk to Harry last night. He told her that Amon had just left before her. Said there was something different about him." The three began a deep conversation in which shall not be lengthened here.
That afternoon, Michael achieved in hacking into valuable information. "You won't believe it," he boasted! He began feverishly typing again as the others crowded. Amon leaned against the window, staring out into space but still listening intently. "There's this lady who came to Japan as the incidents began to come about. Her name is Miss Reikina. And get this… she's the strand of hair they found on the bodies! Seems that she has a hacker of her own erasing her steps." He clicked on another file and brought a picture of her up. "I found her on the witch list…powerful too. She's managed to control fire and water but lacks regular telekinesis." He looked up at Robin. "Another pyro craft user... Not to mention an aqua freak."
"What she lacks in telekinesis she makes up in telepathy," Amon whispered. Only Robin caught his deep voice but she did not show any sign of knowing. She felt it was best he didn't know he was being overheard from his deep concentration. "She has enough power to bring about news from miles away." Amon got up and walked to the door. He ignored any questions confronted towards him and just left.
In a dark alleyway, a man ran through the dark, bumping into the narrow walls in fear. He didn't care about all his cuts and bruises but concentrated on the fate that lied ahead. "Please, I swear I didn't do anything!" The man found himself cornered by a wall and a high-wired gate. If the man had used the little common sense he had, he would have seen the broken window that he could have easily climbed into for safety. But panic seems to numb all logic. "No, please… Don't!"
A shadow steadily grew closer to him, its boots echoing its footsteps. Finally before him was a woman dressed with a long leather black cloak that opened widely at her ankles. Her hands were in her pocket and she showed no sign of worry but looked to the ground. "Life is so short. You spend you time here on Earth partying and getting friendly with the ladies, do you not?" She took another step forward. "And yet, you have the balls to walk into church and tell your savior that you shall quit your actions? Your lies spit in his face. Though he cannot judge you now…" She looked up at him and smirked. "That is what I'm here for." She lifted her left hand up and a sphere immediately began to form above it, creating a sphere of water. "Do not worry, I will wash away your sins. And then," she raised her right hand and came the same sphere only with deep flames of fire. "burn your judgment in your soul." With that, she quickly flung both her hands over her head. The flames consumed the water and raced towards the screaming man, plummeting straight into his heart. "Let your Savior now judge you with life as your reward!" The man fell to the ground lifeless. "You have been judged."
The man's body laid still on the ground, small traces of smoke escaping his body. Rei walked to the body and smirked. The man obviously was not worthy in the eyes of God. It was then she heard a soft click behind her. At first startled, Rei coyly relaxed her body. "Craft user," Amon growled.
"Are you going to fall in love with me?" Rei turned around to see Amon's shocked face. "Because isn't that what you once said… to her? And look where it got you now." Amon blinked and shook it off. Mind games… she was toying with him. "What I do is not wrong. I stand as a link for God. He cannot strike down on them like he should so my powers open a portal to let him through. If they are forgiven, they will not die but if God finds them unworthy then they burn in hell."
Amon lowered his gun, not in trust, but in fear. She was stronger than him in almost everyway. There was no sense in rushing her capture. "So that makes it okay for you to kill the innocent?" He spat at the ground and smirk a bit himself. "Just an excuse to kill. Everyone sins… even you. Will you judge yourself?"
The question hit Rei at the heart. Her eyes narrowed but then she found herself staring at the ground smiling. "Score for Amon," she whispered. "I have yet to find someone to open that link for God to pass through me." She looked at him straight in the eye. "Dear me, I see what Robin wants in you. Tall, dark and handsome all in one soul. But you fail to make her yours, am I correct?"
"That's none of your business," he hissed. Rei gave that, oh so popular, 'am right' smirk. He instantly held his gun up at her again, hesitating his shoot only to hear her reply. This woman angered him… he would kill if he could. No… he couldn't… but he thought of it. She boiled his blood with her high and mighty speeches. But the only reason he couldn't stand it…was because he knew she was right.
Rei stood before his gun and lowered it with her fingers. "Do not deny her affection. God made men and women to love one another as he loves them both. He made it so that the two could share their sexual desires along with their thoughts." Amon's eyes widened but could not look away from her. "You brand her with adultery yet ye were the first to commit it by declining loving her and, in that, chose your reputation as your lover. Michael took care of her and, in the end, became her main desire." She backed away from Amon, leaving him to think. "But it is not too late. Robin is yet to be consumed by him for you are, and will always, be in her thoughts."
Amon never saw Rei leave. He couldn't even remember her ever going. He was engulfed by her words. She had told him what no one else could dare say and that was the only thing keeping her from the factory. After realizing what he was doing, he picked up his cell and dialed the STNJ. "Another victim…yeah…I just got here." He hung up the phone and leaned against the wall. "Score for Rei," he whispered.
Sakaki and Karasuma arrived with the normal crew of the ever so annoying police. Karasuma looked at Amon with concern. She went up to him and touched his arm to comfort him. "You okay?" Amon looked away from her but Karasuma got what she wanted. "Yes, Robin is here," she whispered. Amon gave her a confused look but then had realized why she had touched him. The sly bitch. "She's waiting just outside the alleyway."
He waited until Karasuma had walked away before slipping to where Robin was. He found her leaning against the wall, lost in thought. The shuffle of his feet caught her attention and she stood straight up. He walked closer to her, hands in pocket, and stopped a dead foot away. Her hands clasped over her breast as she tried to ease her breathing. Amon could tell she was nervous about talking to him and he could even see her eyes begin to water.
"I don't think we should…" Robin left her sentence unfinished. Her mind kept searching for something to say, anything at all. But she was left with the only thought of him. What could she say? She was unaware that he knew about Michael and yet, there was something hinting to her that he knew. "Amon…"
He took another step forward and she took a step back. But her back met the wall and Amon stepped closer until there wasn't any space between their bodies. His head dangled above hers as he looked down upon her. Robin was looking to the side of her at the ground. She refused to look at him, in fear of breaking down. He smelled so good though. That ocean mist was intoxicating.
"Robin," Amon soothingly whispered but she didn't move her head to look at him. He silently sighed and closed his eyes. He kept hearing Rei…her verses of God and love to him. Swallowing, her opened his eyes and focused on Robin. "Robin," he said again. Robin slowly raised her head, as if some force was pulling her to look. Their eyes were now connected. He had never noticed just how memorizing those piercing green eyes were. They were locked in a stare for about a minute or so before Amon dared to speak again. "I love you."
