Back To School
Author's Note: Thanks for those 2 reviews. I was hoping to get more and I hope you all know that this does nothing to boost my motivation but oh well. But really, thanks to those who did review including Bishoujo-Hentai and Isis. I hope you enjoy this next chapter.
Chapter Two: First Meeting
As soon as the elevator door opened, Amon made a mad dash for his car and speeded over to Harry's bar for some badly needed alcohol. How was he going to live for the next two years waiting for the new hunter to be old enough to stop school? Surely Solomon would see it his way and allow the new hunter to quit school, right? Probably not but maybe if he made it seem that he was truly suffering, they would at least make somebody else follow her to school or from Amon's view, to hell and back. Amon walked inside and took his usual seat at the bar. The place was empty except for him. Master walked over and noticed something was bothering Amon. Amon told Master the whole story about his "new assignment" while Master was busy getting Amon his scotch. Eventually he gave up and just gave Amon the whole bottle. After all, he was chugging it down like it was water.
Meanwhile back at the office, the STN-J crew was welcoming the new hunter. Zaizen didn't even notice her presence until he noticed the staff was talking to some girl and realized it was his new hunter. He emerged from his office and said, "This is Elizabeth. She will be our new hunter." Zaizen went on to explain why Amon stormed out of the office and about how he must accompany her to school until the STN allowed her to quit. He also went on to explain about her powers and how important it was that the STN have her on their side. Everybody was surprised by the girl's ultimate power. "I've never heard of such a power," Michael said. Zaizen went back into his office and let Elizabeth get familiar with the new surroundings. The new girl had brown hair and deep blue eyes and wore a simple pair of jeans, a T-shirt, and had what seemed to be a pair of dog tags (the military kind) on and a watch. "So where are you from?" Sakaki asked. "I'm from the U.S. I moved here to Japan about two weeks ago after the STN got a hold of me and demanded that I join with them," she said in not a child like voice but a more mature one. Dojima spoke up and said, "So you have to have Amon follow you to school?" She said this with a laugh. In fact nobody could believe this. "A word of advice," Karasuma said, "don't get on his bad side. In fact, don't really talk to him, because he usually doesn't respond. He's not really a people person but he's a damn good hunter so never underestimate his powers." "Believe me at I won't. After what I saw here today and his reactions, I can tell he doesn't like the idea and I know he already hates me for making him go through this." Everybody felt sorry for Elizabeth. She had to put up with Amon for more than 12 hours a day for the next two years at least and they had to stick together for her safety. "Don't worry," Robin said, "he's actually not as bad as you think. Just give him time and you will eventually get to understand him."
After about two hours of getting to know the office and being assigned her computer station, Elizabeth left to go find Amon. From what she heard, he was probably at a bar called Harry's. Being only 13 after all and not being able to drive, she had to walk there. Sure she could use her powers to get a car and a fake driver's license but the STN was watching her now and she had to be careful. As she was walking, she thought about her new job and her new home. Sure she wasn't used to Japan yet but for some reason, she was starting to really like it here. She also couldn't believe the immense powers that she had. Her powers had awoken two years ago but even she still didn't know her full potential. And as for the existence of witches, she had known about that her whole life. Elizabeth didn't know how she knew but something inside of her told her that humans had more to them than what she saw. But she did have to admit that these powers were really cool. No longer did she have to wait for her birthday or Christmas to get something and they were really handy to have.
Elizabeth finally reached Harry's just as the sun was setting and the streetlights were coming on. It was early April but still the weather was cold and a harsh wind was blowing so she hurried to get inside out of the cold. Inside, she saw that it was warm and cozy. There were a few people sitting at various tables but there was only one person sitting at the bar. She recognized him as Amon, the person who had run out of the office earlier. Elizabeth slowly approached the bar and took a seat next to the ominous hunter. Amon didn't even bother to look over. He was too busy pouring himself another glass of scotch. "Can I get you anything?" Master asked in his usual kind voice. "No thanks. I'm just here to talk to Amon." At this Amon looked over at the girl upon hearing his name. "So you must be the new hunter," Master said. "Welcome to my restaurant. If you need anything, just ask." "Thanks." Master walked away leaving the two there to talk.
There was complete silence. Amon just occasionally glanced over at the young girl. Finally Elizabeth broke the silence. "So you must be Amon. I've heard a lot about you." Amon grunted in response. "So I guess we're going to be working together for a while," she said. "If that's what you would like to call it," he said. "To me it's more like baby-sitting." "Excuse me but you are severely underestimating me." Elizabeth was mad at that last comment from Amon and hated when people thought less of her. "Oh I am, am I? Well don't expect anything special just because you have unique powers." Elizabeth couldn't take much of this so she sent him a little blast of power to the side of the head. "Ow...you little brat," he said while rubbing the side of his head. "Well you deserved it," she said in a dignified tone. Elizabeth paid no attention to his pain and slammed down a piece of paper on the bar. "This is my address. Just be here at 7:30 to pick me up. School starts at 8:00. Oh and try to be sober when you come. The less we talk, the quicker this will end."
Elizabeth got up and left to go home. Amon looked down at his glass and decided not to have another one. Besides, if he has a hangover tomorrow, the day will certainly go by a lot worse. Master came over and said, "She seemed nice. I hope you two will get along." Amon grunted in response and paid for his drinks and left. Hopefully tomorrow will go a lot smoother than just now.
