Cursed Blessing

A Witch Hunter Robin Fanfic By: Akito Yagami

Chapter 2 – Amethyst

The Vespa slowly stopped as the engine ceased its rumble. Robin looked back at the stranger she had picked up. She didn't know much about him, and in fact if circumstances had been different she wouldn't have picked him up at all. His arms were firm around her waist and it was apparent he had fallen asleep holding her.

"Hey..." she poked him on the top of the head a bit curiously. He hadn't told her where he was going so she had brought him back to her place. He looked so lost and confused in his sleep. She poked him again a little harder this time to try to rouse him from his slumber. "Akito we're here..." he slowly lifted his head and released his grip on her as he blinked and looked up at the girl he had just met. "Where is here?" he asked still slightly disoriented. "My apartment, I'm just renting for now..."

Akito dismounted the Vespa and rubbed his head as he slowly followed Robin inside and to her room. He remained quiet during this time still in a slight daze sleep and disorientation from not knowing where he was.

Robin opened the door slowly and let Akito into her room as she closed the door behind her slowly. "Sorry it's not much..." "It's fine..." Akito retorted in a mixture of agitation and weariness. "There's only one bed though..." Robin stated in a rather timid voice feeling as if she had agitated her guest. "I'll just sleep in the corner, it's really not a problem to me... just tired of being wet..." Still in a groggy daze Akito took off his beanie and threw it down in the area he had chosen to sleep in. Robin's eyes widened almost instantly as they locked onto Akito's cat- like ears on top of his head. Akito's ears twitched slightly not paying any attention to Robin as he removed the trench coat and tossed it with the beanie. His tail now came into Robin's view. He stretched a bit his tail stood on end for a moment as he looked back at Robin.

"Hey do you have a place I can wash up?" Akito blinked and rubbed his eyes as the reality of what he had done soon set in. Robin stared at him somewhat in shock and disbelief as she rose to her feet covering her mouth a bit. "Let me explain..." Akito murmured almost hysterically. Robin's gaze did not change as she slowly got up and walked toward him. Akito gulped a bit in fear, how could he forget he was not in his own realm? How could he have been so careless?

"K... K..." Robin muttered her arms slowly extended as Akito slowly backed into the wall with a small hint of fear. Robin firmly placed her hands over the ears and slowly rubbed them. "K... Kawaii..." Akito's face went pale for a moment then he breathed a sign of relief as she slowly closed his eyes relieved.

"Th... Thanks..." Akito muttered after a moment of silence as he slowly collected his thoughts. "Are they real?" Robin asked as she still fondled the ears as Akito couldn't help but release a soft purr. "Yes they are quiet real..." Akito managed despite the relaxation over taking him. Robin's hands slowly returned back to her as she continued to gaze. "What are you...?" Akito looked down a bit unable to answer. "Are you a witch? Perhaps, one with shape-shifting powers?" Akito looked up at the young girl in front of him. "No I'm not a witch; sadly I'm much worse..."

Their eyes met for a moment. "Your eyes they beautiful... I've never met someone with amethyst colored eyes..." "They are part of my heritage..." Akito answered as he looked down at her. "Heritage...?" Robin asked still in shock from the discovery she had made.

"I... I'm from another realm... but even that realm is not my home. I am a Neko-Jin, a cat person if you wish to call me that... My name is Akito Yagami, Descendant of the Yagami Clan, Bearer of the Orochi bloodline. Third ruler of the Neko-Jin realm. Although... I am a ruler no more..."

Robin listened intently as she slowly sat down on the bed and tried to take in as much as she could. "Is more of your kind...?" Akito blinked a bit and shook his head; he sat next to her on the bed and proceeded to tell her his story. "In the third great Nekonian war many of my kind were killed off. The few that remained choose to follow a new order. I left my kingdom for obvious reasons... I was tired of war... tired of fighting... that war took something from me..."

Akito slowly wiped his eyes as he tried to hold back a tear at the remembrance of long dead friends and family. "We were a peaceful race, yet known for our great warriors... The real reason I left was because... my kingdom... did not accept my mate..." "Mate...?" Robin asked a tad confused. "When a Neko-Jin takes a mate, a life-partner, an other half... it is for life."

Robin nodded she understood what he meant, although she had lived in a convent most of her life she was not without simple urges and desires. The desire to have someone to hold, someone to love, someone to love her in return. She shook her head a bit as to not let it get to her. "Where is your mate now...? Is she in this realm as well...?" Akito looked up at Robin his eyes grew heavy. "No... She... choose another path... she left me alone... I don't remember much about getting here... it was a blind fury... I've done things I'm not proud of..."

"I do not intend to stay here long..." Akito assured her as he got up. "I will be gone by morning... I need to find a way back to my realm..." Robin rose and looked at him. "Wait... I can help you... I am a craft-user... I'm in tune with supernatural entities... maybe that is why I stopped to pick you up..." "You don't need to help me... Something got loose... I don't want you to get hurt..." Akito looked at her already he felt penitent for her taking him in. "You won't hurt me..."

"I feel tired... forgive me I need to rest..." Robin nodded and laid him down on the bed. "You can rest here..." "I won't this is your bed... I am just a bother here..." "I insist!" Robin retorted.

Akito nodded and smiled. "I have an idea..." He closed his eyes and slowly began to glow a light amethyst, as his form shrunk down until he was the a small black cat looking up at her. "Wow..." Robin muttered never ceasing to be amazed by her guest. "What else can you do...?" she asked still in awe from the strange transformation that had occurred in front of her. "I am a man of many useless talents..." Akito muttered to her still in his feline form. He slowly turned to curl around her feet as Robin crawled into bed. "Don't worry if someone walks in... they will just think you picked up a pet..." Robin nodded as she reached over to turn off the light. Akito began to purr as was his nature. Many times he had done the same thing to Tsunami, wrapped himself around her feet to keep her warm while she slept. He bit his lip to keep from whimpering but could not hold the few tears that feel as he slowly but sorrowfully drifted to into the mists of Morpheus.
