3) Today is Vira's birthday! =D Gimme a review for a present! Hehehe…

…Yep, that's all. I'm SO glad you guys are enjoying this story so far, it means a lot to me. And now, here is my update:

If you always know which direction in life to take, then you simply aren't human. Some decisions must be made in an instant, while others are carefully thought out. An accidental mistake in life is neither uncommon not unnatural. This is the simple truth one must learn to face.

Robin ran as fast as possible to meet with Amon privately. She had snuck out of Miss Karasuma's class a little earlier from the others, but she feared it would not be enough to find him in time.

It had been a month since their last trip to the Factory. They had kept everything quiet so the Factory's frantic search for them would gradually die down. They wouldn't meet or discuss anything for awhile, for fear of suspicion. Eventually, however, Doujima had passed the word around that they would meet again—this time in her house. She had implied within the message that Sakaki wanted them to bring all the things they had found in the Factory, but Robin already knew this. It was simply a question of getting the notebook back from Amon in time for the meeting.

He had repeatedly insisted to her that he was finished with everything in it and she could take it back. Upon asking him if he had found anything 'interesting' in it, he always gave a monotonous 'maybe' for an answer. Robin had quickly realized that Amon HAD, in fact, found something interesting, but he wasn't about to tell her. She had accepted this with ease nonetheless, because after all, it certainly wasn't HER past. And so, they had arranged for a meeting in private so he could give the notebook back to Robin.

She turned a corner and ran into him, just like she did on one of her first days of her training. She blushed heavily. Robin heard him groan in pain from above and put a gloved hand on her shoulder to slowly pull himself away.

"S-Sorry." She mumbled. "Are…are you okay, Amon?" She helped him stand up properly.

"…I'm fine." He answered with a hint of strain that she could tell he was trying to conceal. "…It's over there." Amon gestured to the notebook resting on the nearby bench. She nodded and picked it up. He managed to sit down on the bench and watch her study it. "Everything's in there."

"Yes, I see. Thank you, Amon." She sat down next to him. "Sakaki will find this helpful, I imagine."

He scoffed a little. "I don't see how. Everything that was talked about in this notebook was events that happened in the past."

Robin nodded. "Well, you never know." She stretched a little on the bench and sat back to enjoy the sun. Amon looked around the area for a moment, and then extended his left arm over the bench stealthily and wrapped it around Robin's other shoulder. She sighed at this small, pleasant surprise and rested her head against his arm. He had not given her any sort of romantic encounter in the month since the night at his apartment, so she would have to make the most of it now. They couldn't really risk being together in public, but it had been so long that Robin was glad he didn't seem to care. Still…she noticed that there was something else on his mind. His mother, no doubt. It would be impossible to communicate her feelings for him while Amon was preoccupied like this.

"I want you to be careful at the meeting you'll be going to today, Robin." He whispered to her. "Make sure there are multiple exits around in case something…unexpected happens."

Robin watched out of the corner of her eye as a raven flew by. "Okay Amon." She reassured him. "I will."

His manner relaxed a little. "…I think Osuin misses you, you know. He keeps running back to the place you found him in hopes that you'll find him under there again. I've never seen him like this."

She chuckled. "Well then, maybe I'll just have to come back there one of these days for him, hmm?"

Amon gave a half-smile, which was the equivalent to a glad, full smile in her eyes. He was about to say something to her, but then, his cell phone interrupted everything. "Sorry Robin." He whispered instead while reaching into his pocket to pull it out. After a brief conversation, he hung up thoughtfully. "…That was Karasuma—a witch had been spotted." Amon looked at her regretfully. "I need to go."

Robin forced a smile of her own. "That's okay, I'm sure they need you. Be careful, Amon."

He nodded and reached a hand out to gently brush her hair away. It was a simple movement but it said all that needed to be said. Amon stood up and walked over to his car to drive away. The raven circled around Robin once before flying away. She smiled upon seeing it once more, and then stood up to start her walk over to Doujima's house.

The door was quickly opened and shut. "Hurry inside, Robin." Doujima whispered to her. She stepped into her house and was ushered down to a sort of basement TV room. Everything was very well furnished, and Robin could tell that Doujima had more money than most…or her parents did at any rate. In any case, everything looked very nice. Robin could help but feel a little jealous.

Only a little.

"Over here." Doujima motioned. "My parents will sometimes conduct a business meeting down here. I'm not supposed to be using this room, but…they're away right now, so it'll be okay."

She smiled. "Why didn't we meet here first?"

"Ah…" Doujima nodded. "Well for two reasons…my parents were home at that time. Also, Sakaki, well…he wanted the first meeting at his house, because…" She giggled a little. "He thought it made him look more like a leader. Isn't that cute?"

"Oh, I see." Robin thought for a minute. "Tell me Doujima, how did you two manage to become a couple? If you don't mind me asking, of course. I remember you shot him in the chest with a rubber bullet on the first day of training…"

She visibly stiffened. "I wish you had never heard about that, but I suppose it can't be helped. Well, I felt really bad about it all, so I visited him every day in the hospital while he recovered, which was a little less than a week…and after we had talked about various things, we found out we had a lot in common. Then, out of the blue, he told me that as soon as he could get out of there, he would take me out to dinner for a night." Doujima smiled. "Of course, I couldn't say no, especially because I was the reason he was there in the first place. But I DID find it a little odd that Sakaki would be so forgiving to the girl who did that to him. Nevertheless, I went with him, and well…eventually we became a couple." She laughed. "Isn't it funny how some things work out in this world?"

Robin nodded. "I'm glad that your relationship turned out great even though it didn't start very smoothly."

Doujima sighed. "Yeah, that's true. But he insists that he's already forgotten about it…I guess during our excursion to the STN-J lab, it made him think about more important things."

"Oh, when you two went to get the Orbo tested? Yes, I remember you talking about that…"

"Mm-hm. It wasn't easy, either…I guess you could say we're both kind of daring, eh?" After a pause, Doujima chuckled suddenly. "But enough about me, Robin. What about YOU? Any secret guy that I should be informed about? Hmm?"

"W-What? Well I…no! There's no one!" Robin blushed heavily.

Doujima caught this. "Oh come ON, you're a terrible liar, you know that? Alright, who is he!? Tell me, Robin!"

She blushed even more. "There's no one! Really!"

She laughed. "Oh, I get it; you don't know who it is…a secret admirer, right? Listen Robin, I've been down that road before, and believe me, you don't want to follow through with this. He turned out to be a desperate geek. If you can't get him to confess his real feelings to your face then he's not worth it…"

As Doujima talked on, Robin frowned slightly. She knew Amon wasn't a 'secret' admirer, but his feelings towards her certainly were secretive enough…she was certain that he didn't love her, but she hoped that she was more than just a rebound girl after dumping Touko or a short fling that they were having. 'How does Amon feel? I never know…maybe sometime, when the moment is right, I could make him confess…' Her eyes flickered dangerously for a second, but then her conscious stepped in. 'Get ahold of yourself! Doujima's just rubbing off on you a little bit…'

"…And so I was quick to forget about him. That was about, oh say, two years ago. Hey, are you listening!?"

"Oh, yes…I-"

"-What're you girls talking about over here?" Sakaki strolled up from behind and whispered to Robin, "Watch this!" He winked at her and turned to softly poke Doujima on both sides of her waist. She jumped in surprise but immediately laughed afterwards.

"You caught me off guard again, Sakaki…" She put on a pouting face. "But that wasn't fair! I was talking that time!"

He shrugged happily. "You'll just have to be ready next time, Doujima!"

She laughed and shoved him away a little. "I will be ready! Come on Robin, let's leave this loser so we can meet with the others…" The two giggled and pretended to walk off to the other room.

"Hmph…women." Sakaki shook his head and chuckled. He crept up to them again and slipped a hand under Doujima's palm. Robin noticed this out of the corner of her eye and felt happy for them…even if it WAS the strangest relationship she had ever seen.

"Okay everyone, we're here now…you can sit down…" Sakaki sat down on one end of the table while Doujima was on the other side. They were indeed in a sort of business meeting room, with a dozen comfortable chairs seated around the table. Thankfully, there were no windows, and Robin felt considerably more at ease. After the chatter died down, Sakaki spoke again.

"I'm glad to see you guys again. I'm even gladder that all of you have decided to come here today even though the threat of Zaizen finding us is always present. Thank you. You have placed an immeasurable amount of trust into me, it seems. Well, I won't let you down."

"I also know that you have several questions for me, including how we knew the access code to the elevator and why Doujima had a security pass. First though, those of you who have brought the things we took from the Factory can place everything on the table now."

Robin fished around for the notebook within her coat and pulled it out. Among the things set down on the table included several other books, scientific instruments, bottled liquids, and, of course, a fair amount of Orbo. Sakaki inspected each very carefully. After a few moments, he said, "I'm sure that if you managed to grab something, you've been quite curious as to what it might be used for." Sakaki smiled. "Some of you might have even done some independent research of your own. In the cases of the books, you probably read the contents…" He looked directly at Robin suddenly. "…Right?"

She gulped, and quickly shook her head.

He chuckled a little, and then turned away. "…In any case, that's okay. It's understandable…natural, even. Personally, I don't care whether you did or not. But what I am concerned about is the matter of secrecy. No matter what, no one must ever know what exactly we have from the Factory. The consequences could be fatal…for all of us. I can't stress this enough. I know most of you already realize this, but I'm saying it anyways…so this is completely confidential, okay?" Everyone nodded. "…Good. I will take these now and study them to see if any useful knowledge can be obtained from it. I'm sure there will be."

Robin's face froze. She had hoped that she would been able to grab her notebook after the meeting. She was very curious about what Amon had found in there, but she didn't have a chance to read anything since he gave it to her right before. 'Maybe Sakaki will let me have it.' Robin thought. 'After all, it did happen years ago, and the knowledge inside is probably worthless now…'

"…Anyways." He continued. "Thank you all very much, and enough about that. You've kept your promise and now I'll keep mine." Sakaki sat back down in his chair. "Doujima and I were in contact with a man that we knew we could trust. We put out faith into him, and he didn't let us down." Sakaki glanced over at the doorway. "Okay, you can come in here now."

All eyes swiveled over to the other side of the room. Robin gasped a little—from behind the door, Michael, the guy she met for the first time in the church, entered. He walked forward awkwardly and smiled a little. "Er…hi everyone…" Sakaki pulled up a chair for him and he sat down. Michael looked up again and reddened. "Hey, stop staring already! I'm not that great! C'mon, you guys have seen me around at the STN-J…right?"

"…Of course they have, Michael." Doujima said. "But they didn't KNOW you were working for us…you can imagine if they're a bit shocked, right?"

He shrugged. "I guess so. I'm not that important, really." Michael said to the rest of them.

"Ah, but that's where you're wrong, Michael!" Sakaki exclaimed with confidence. "If it wasn't for you, we probably couldn't have pulled the whole thing off." He gave a short chuckle. "…But perhaps you're the one who should be explaining it all?"

Michael sighed. "Well I…I mean, it wasn't terribly hard or anything…sure it took awhile, I suppose. After all, this WAS the Factory we were dealing with. But I managed to hack my way into part of the security system undetected and found out some interesting things to the place—especially the codes. Then all I had to do was print out a small security pass, laminate it, and give it to Doujima. The rest was entirely their doing…"

"The hard part was actually getting the van driver's outfits." Sakaki continued. "And believe me, it was NOT easy. It's not like there's a dozen of those things just lying around, right?" He sighed. "But Michael managed to find a warehouse where they're kept when nobody's wearing them. To make a long story short, we managed to get the number we needed."

"Yeah, we only had to knock a few guards unconscious…" Doujima rolled her eyes.

"Of course, nothing was perfect." Michael explained. "As I said, I was only able to break into part of the security system. We didn't count on an alarm going off when you guys entered that room, but that was what ended up happening…"

"…Right." Sakaki finished. "But as it turned out, we didn't need to know about the alarm anyways, because we all made it out of there safely."

Doujima hung her head in shame. "Sorry we didn't tell you guys about Michael and everything, but we were afraid that you all wouldn't trust him since he's part of the STN-J staff." Across the table, all the craft users muttered their quick forgiveness.

"At any rate, I know most of you are wondering when we will next infiltrate the Factory. My answer is, not for a very, very long time. Because one, we can't rush something like this, two, I want to wait until you've finished your training as hunters, and three, the Factory will be on its guard now."

Doujima winked. "Plus we need to study all the stuff you guys brought!"

He coughed. "Er, that's right Doujima. Anyways though, I'll be sure to send the message out to all of you when it'll be time again, okay? But it won't be for awhile. Again, thank you so much for coming here today, and I suppose this meeting is now adjourned."

"Sakaki? Doujima?"

It had been a few minutes since everyone else in the room slowly filed out. Robin had lingered behind in order to inquire about the notebook that she desperately wanted to read. "Can um…can I ask you guys something?"

Sakaki smiled behind the shuffling of the books. "Sure Robin. What is it?"

"Well, I was just wondering if I could…have the notebook back that I gave you? I want to…to…read it…"

Doujima laughed. "Why, you haven't already?"

She reddened. "No…"

Sakaki went to retrieve it from the pile and handed it to her. "…I guess it'll be okay. But remember Robin, if you read anything of any importance then you'll tell me right away, okay?"

Robin nodded. "Okay. Thanks!" She smiled happily and turned to wave goodbye to them, then hurried to catch up with the others, who were already filing out of the house.
