Chapter 3: The Slap

Robin walked into the STN-J. Michael, of course was there, but no one else was there.

"Well, You're early." Michael said as he stretched.

"Good morning to you." Robin said.

It was about fifteen minutes until someone else came in. It was, of course, Amon.

Robin watched Amon put his bag down, and take his coat off. Then she got up and dragged him into the conference room.

"What are you doing?" Amon asked coldly. He stared at Robin with piercing black eyes.

Robin glared at him. "Well, about Touka. I can't believe you said that!"

Amon's eyes widened. "She told you?"

"Yes!"

Amon glared at Robin, then said, "She WAS a burden. I'm better off without her."

Robin lifted her hand. She slapped it against Amon's face. Amon's eyes widened again, but this time, in surprise.

"Robin?" Amon stammered.

"What?" Robin said in a icey tone.

Amon didn't know what to say. No one slapped him before. They were all to scared.

Robin rolled her eyes and walked out of the room. Michael looked up from his computer, then quickly down again. Robin's face looked like Amons, cold, and hard.

Robin walked into a different room.

Amon walked out in a daze.

"Ah, What happened in there?"

Michael asked. He noticed the red mark on Amon's face.

"You get slapped?"

Amon nodded, his normal features returning.

"Why?" Michael knew that Amon has never been slapped before.

Amon glared at Michael, but said, "Trouble with a friend."

That was it. End of discussion. Robin came out of the room a minute later with a bag.

She threw the bag at Amon, then went to go get some coffee.

Amon looked in the back. A card was in it. He pulled out the card and opened it.

Inside, it said:

Amon,

I hope you recover fast! It must hurt. Take it easy while it heals. I don't want my partner getting hurt. I wish there was something I could of done to save you. I am kicking myself for it.

Please have a speedy recovery.

love,

robin

Amon looked over at Robin. She had her hand over her eyes. Tears were glinting in the sun. Michael got up to do something in the boss's office.

Amon stood up. He walked over to Robin. He wrapped his arms around her slender form. Robin took a sharp intake of breath. She turned around so her face was into his chest.

"I'm....sorry." Robin said into Amon's shirt.

The cold hunter looked down at his partner. 'Why is she so delicate? Why does she have to be so sad when something happens?' He thought to himself.

"Robin," Amon said in a cool voice, "Why are you so upset about Touka?"

"I....Touka......" Robin stammered for a second, and then said, "Touka was just so happy when you guys were together, I hate it when Touka is sad, and, well...." Her voice trailed off.

Amon let go of Robin. His eyes were clear, and more brown than black.

"Thank you for the card."

Robin almost dropped the coffee pot, but instead spilt a little onto the floor. She looked up at Amon. Here emerald eyes wide.

"You...You said thank you. You were nice....." Robin looked down and saw the mess of coffee. She grabbed a paper towel and started cleaning up. Amon walked away. Michael came back and started working on his computer.

Sakaki walked in. He looked cheerful.

"Well good morning everyone!" He hung his coat up.

Amon stared at him.

"Whats with you today?" Amon's voice was its regular cold self.

"Well, I just got me a pretty lady! Her name is Ukina. And boy, is she beautiful." Sakaki looked over at Robin, who was cleaning up the spill, but she was staring at him with her eyebrow raised.

"Well, get over it, Sakaki, we have work to do today. We are behind schedule because of Karasuma and my injuries." Amon looked at Michael, then he grabbed something from his bag.

"Congratulations, Sakaki." Robin said quietly.

Amon glared at her, but she gave him a colder glare back. Sakaki noticed this.

He walked over to Michael.

"Hey," he whispered, "What's with those two?"

Michael looked at Robin, then at Amon.

"Oh, right, Robin slapped Amon for some reason, I didn't quite get all the info, but I guess it had to do with a friend."

Sakaki started laughing. This startled Amon, who looked up. Michael went back to work, and kept his eyes straight on the screen.

Sakaki took a deep breath. He chickled a little, and then walked over to Amon.

"So, Robin slapped the most scary guy at the STN-J, eh? Well, what ever the cause, if Robin has the courage to slap YOU, then you better watch out for her."

Sakaki snickered a little.

"Well," Amon said behind clenched teeth, "If you want to see the most scary guy at the STN-J, then keep talking."

Sakaki turned white and walked away to get some coffee.

He turned to Robin after pouring himself a cup.

"Nice job there Robin, you sure are a tough one to slap Amon."

Robin blushed a little then said, "Thank you, I guess."

The news about Robin slapping Amon spread through the STN-J like a wild fire.

Everyone was saying how brave Robin was to slap dark old Amon.

Amon didn't seem to like it, so he just stayed out of the way.
