Okay, I went back to finish this update, review responses can now be seen. Anyways, I don't own WHR like always! It'd be really cool if I did though. Anyways, here's the next chappy!:

Often times, we are ungrateful. We are ungrateful to our parents. We are ungrateful to our community. But most importantly…too often we forget to thank the one we are the closest with: the person we need the most. This is the simple truth one must learn to face.

Robin slipped into her dress and walked down the stairs. She took out a small skillet from the cupboard and started the stove. She grabbed some eggs from the refrigerator and cracked them open.

"Good morning, Robin." Her grandfather appeared in the doorway and sat down to start reading the paper. "Mass is at seven. Will you be attending today? The sermon is quite excellent."

She smiled. Robin didn't have time because of her training schedule, but he didn't know that. "No, I think I'll just stop by to pray a little rather than attend a whole sermon."

Juliano shrugged. "Suit yourself." He folded the paper open and immediately closed himself off to it. Robin set the finished eggs down onto his plate, spent a moment eating hers, and then hurried outside. Robin rubbed her eyes tiredly as the sun looked down upon her. "I better hurry…a quick prayer and then I'll leave." She rushed down the sidewalk and to the chapel nearby. Robin had always appreciated the quiet atmosphere of this place—it was silent for the most part, save an occasional nun coming and going or the organist completing her daily practice. Best of all, the sun's rays filled the stain glass window to light wonderful colors across the room. She smiled and walked over to one of the benches.

When she was done, Robin noticed a person had walked up to her curiously. She had never seen him before, but he had the STN-J staff badge pinned onto his shirt at an angle. He adjusted his glasses quickly.

"Are you…Robin Sena?"

She nodded. Why was a person from the STN-J here? Had she done something wrong already?

"Great. My name is Michael Lee, and I'm from the STN-J training building." He pointed to the badge on his shirt in a quick motion. She nodded. "Well, to make a long story short, I was asked to bring you your motorbike that you left near the road the other day. Your address was given to me, and so here I am."

Robin gasped with happiness. "Oh! I had forgotten all about that! Yes, I left it there along the road before I found the criminal. You really brought it here with you? Where?"

Michael started towards the back of the chapel. It's over here—I'll show you…" She nodded and hurried along with him outside.

After a few moments, Robin asked, "So…what do you do at the STN-J anyways? I've never really seen you before."

He shrugged. "Well, it's my job to protect the computer tracking system and the database to make sure everything is safe. We get hackers all the time trying to find out what we know about a certain witch. Thanks to me, however, there usually isn't a problem…"

"Oh, I see. So you work with computers? That's probably why I haven't seen you yet."

Michael sighed. "…Nobody pays much attention to the guys who work behind the scenes. Ah, here we are…"

He pointed to the motorbike parked by the sidewalk. "There it is, still in working condition and everything."

Robin nodded. "I'm very glad for that. Tell me, how did you know that it was mine?"

Michael shrugged. "Well it was near the scene of the crime, and with you there we just sort of put the pieces of the puzzle together. But to make extra sure, we took your fingerprints from the handlebars. They matched perfectly." He looked at her. "Out of curiosity Robin, what happened with you back there anyways? I was never given the whole story behind it…"

Oh. "Um, there's not much to say really…I saw the police go back and forth for awhile without knowing what was going on. Eventually I decided to sneak into the nearby forest to try to see what was happening. Then my thoughts were confirmed—it was a witch. We fought for a short time until the fire that I had started began to grow larger. I didn't know what to do. Then I saw Amon looking at me, and…I don't really remember anything after that. Next thing I knew, I was waking up in the hospital."

He sighed. "From what I understand, you could've very well died. But you don't look that reckless…very interesting indeed, wouldn't you say?"

"You're right, I don't normally do stuff like that. I guess…I just wanted to prove that I'm capable of fighting by myself…the other day in class I got into a fight with a boy, you see. For some reason my fire missed him every single time, and I thought maybe this would make amends."

Michael gave her a stern look. "If you show off your craft, you could get into some serious trouble. In fact, you almost did." He glanced at his watch. "Well, I need to drive back to the STN-J training building now, Robin. I trust you'll be about to get there via your motorbike now?" She nodded. "…Good. See you around, I guess."

Robin nodded again and he left to drive away in his car. As soon as Michael was gone, she ran back to the house in order to obtain her helmet. Juliano did not even take any notice of her as Robin rushed up the stairs and back down again after searching around in her room. "Bye, Grandfather!" He grunted something to her and flipped to the next page of the paper.

Robin parked in the closest space possible, and then ran inside. As she rounded a corner, she nearly collided with a man in a gray suit that she had never seen before. A coffee mug that he had been holding let go of its contents and the liquid spilled onto the floor.

She turned a heavy crimson. "Oh! E-Excuse me-"

"-It's okay, just continue on to class." Robin looked down at his nametag. It was Zaizen Takuma. Zaizen glanced at her for a second time, as if it were an afterthought. "Hmm, young lady, aren't you the infamous Robin Sena I've been hearing so much about these last few days?"

She gulped. Infamous? Had she really become infamous around here? That was the very last thing she wanted to happen. "Um…that's my name, yes…"

"The girl who was hospitalized, eh? Hmm. Yes, it seems as though you have quite a remarkable story on your shoulders. Well hurry along then, Robin." Zaizen turned to walk away without saying another word. She sighed and continued down the hallway.

Class began the moment she sat down, fortunately. Robin noticed that there had been no taking of the attendance. In fact, nothing seemed to be as organized about it as the first day. The students immediately left their chairs and went over to their specialized training equipment. Robin shrugged and followed them over to the practice area.

"Robin!!"

She turned around to see the friends she had met in the restaurant—Yuma, Kazuko, and Tsutomu. They smiled at her.

"Where have you been!?" Yuma cried.

"Um…I was only gone for a day!" Robin said with surprise.

Kazuko nodded. "That's true, but when we asked Mr. Amon if maybe you had called in for a reason that you were gone, he just said 'not to worry about it.' So of course, we did!"

"…Oh. Well, I was…" Robin thought for a second. Would it really be best to tell them that she was hospitalized for a day, after a confrontation with a witch? She decided not. "I was just sick, that's all." She smiled weakly.

The three of them looked at her suspiciously for moment. "It's odd, then, that Mr. Amon wouldn't tell us that…"

Robin shrugged. "Yeah, I guess that IS weird…" As they continued to chat, Robin glanced over at Amon. He was sitting in his chair and appeared to be checking his e-mail. This brought a flood of memories to her suddenly as she remembered about the dream she had about him the previous night.

'Could it really have been him?' Robin thought. She held the distinct image of the boy in her mind. And now, looking at Amon here, it was practically beyond all question—the child Robin saw in her dream really was him. But how did she know? 'How could I have know about that? Did the thing with his mom really happen?' She sighed—so many questions and so little answers. 'Perhaps I should just ask him about it…' Robin thought. She tossed the idea around in her mind for a little bit, and then decided it would be far too nosy of her to do such a thing.

Her trainer interrupted her thoughts suddenly. "Before you take out your training equipment, I would like each of you to pair up with someone and try to deflect the other's attack for a total of five times. Go." Amon waved his hand at them impassively.

"C'mon, Robin…" Before she could say anything, Yume pulled her to the side. Kazuko and Tsutomu faced each other nearby to them.

Robin blushed a little. "Oh…um, but Yume…I'm not very…good…I don't think I'd do a very great job deflecting any of your attacks at me…"

"Nonsense! I'm sure you'll do just fine. Much better than me, anyways. Well, here I go!"

Yume's eyes grew pure white for an instant, and then energy shot out from here. 'Her craft is the ability to cause seizures…' Robin remembered. 'Can I really block such a thing?' She calmed her mind to prepare to unleash her fire. Soon after it left her body.

It happened almost too quickly. The flame flickered past Yume's hair and disappeared. Fortunately, Robin managed to duck just in time as the attack flew past her, which also vaporized into thin air.

Yume rushed to her. "A-Are you okay, Robin!?" She helped her up and rest her against a nearby chair.

"I'm fine…" Robin gasped.

"You…sure?"

"Yes, it's okay…really!" She stood up again and faced Yume. "Come on then, let's try that again…"

Yume gave her a puzzled look. "Um…I don't know…"

"Don't worry, it'll be fine…"

Yume shrugged and finally gave in. "…Okay. Give me a moment…" Her eyes turned white again. Robin braced herself for the worst. "Ready?" She nodded slowly. "Okay, then here I go!" The white shot out of her eyes and straight at Robin.

As hopeful as Robin was, her fire missed the target yet again. "Oh no!" She cried. This time she would have no time to act. Yume's attack was going to hit her!

Suddenly, a hand flew out of nowhere and seemingly hit the attack away. Robin stared at it long enough to see that underneath the fingers was a vial of Orbo that no one could see but her.

"I think that's enough for today, Robin." She turned around to see Amon straighten up and thrust his hand back into his pocket to hide the Orbo from the others. "Just rest for now until this period is over, alright?"

Robin nodded slowly, with some shock. "Yes…I will…" Her friends stared at her as Robin walked back to her seat. "Th-thank you, Amon." She said to him timidly when he returned to his desk to check his e-mail once more. Amon nodded indifferently and continued typing.

She sighed pleasantly. That was twice now Amon had saved her! It was almost unbelievable. "I must thank him more later…that's the least he deserves, I think." Yes, it was decided. Robin would thank him more in-depth, during her lunch hour perhaps.

She glanced at all the other students practicing, and jealousy immediately fell upon her. Everyone appeared to be doing SO well blocking attacks…so why couldn't she? Whenever Robin would use her fire craft, she would miss the target every single time, even if she was staring directly at the object she wished to hit. But why?

Robin decided not to think about it anymore, and sat there reading quietly until it was time to move to the next class of the day.

When it was time for the lunch hour to begin, Robin waited around in the hallways to look for Amon. Eventually she saw him walk out the door of the building and to the outside. "Perhaps he's going out to lunch…" She followed him.

Amon walked down the parking lot and was about to enter his car, when his cell phone ran suddenly. He dug into his pocket for a few seconds before pulling it out and answering it.

"Hello?"

From the distance Robin was at, all she could hear was some mumbles—nothing that she could properly interpret. After a few minutes, Amon hung up. Instead of going into his car and driving off, he leaned against his car casually and stood here.

"He's waiting for someone." Robin realized. She wondered for who. "Well, at any rate, this is as good of a time as any to thank him…" She began to walk his way and started to wave in hopes of grabbing his attention.

She didn't get the chance, however. Before Robin could arrive to him, a woman, who she had never seen before, had already walked up to him happily. Robin ducked behind a car curiously.

The woman smiled. "Thanks for waiting for me, Amon. I'm glad I could catch you on your phone."

Amon made a response that Robin couldn't quite hear.

"Well, really to go then?" The woman gestured to his car.

He nodded, and together they went inside it. After they drove away, Robin stood up from behind the car, dumbstruck. When she had thought about what had just happened for several moments, the obvious answer occurred to her suddenly.

"A girlfriend…that was Amon's girlfriend."

Robin couldn't figure out why something inside of her hurt so much suddenly, but it was really painful. The realization was overwhelming. Why did it hurt so?

"Don't be stupid." She scolded herself. "He deserves to have a happy life…you can't keep him all to yourself." Robin gasped. Why did she just day that!? She didn't think of her teacher in 'that' way…right!? "No, of course not. That's silly—and besides, Amon would never go for someone like me…" Robin scolded herself again quickly and walked away to have lunch. The idea was absolutely preposterous. But then again, why did she imagine it just now? Was her mind secretly trying to tell her something?

"No." She said firmly. "No." She would never think of it again, Robin decided. Instead, she walked back up the sidewalk and into the STN-J building to have lunch there. Robin had heard of the interesting cafeteria food, but she had never tried it herself. Well, now was as good of a time as any other.
