Chapter 4: Trance

Amon sat, typing away on his laptop. Robin was reading a book that Karasuma gave to her. Everyone else was either talking or moping around.

Mister Kosaka looked around. He put his hands on his hips and said,

"Well, well, well, what lazy hunters we have here."

He looked at Michael. "Well? Aren't there any hunts everyone needs to go on?"

Michael nodded.

"Yeah, but Robin insists that Amon and Karasuma wait until they are completely better to hunt."

"WELL! Anyone else, even Robin can go hunt. They don't always need Amon and Karasuma. So get them going!!"

Michael called Robin, Doujima, and Sakaki over. He pointed out where he wanted them to go. Sakaki went alone. Doujima and Robin were sent to go out and get a small time witch that was close to where Sakaki was going to hunt.

"Just in case," Michael explained, "Incase Sakaki or you two need the extra help. If worst comes to worst, Amon or Karasuma will go and help you."

Just as Robin and Doujima went to leave, Karasuma went after them.

"Here," She said, "Take my car, you will be more disguised."

Doujima didn't know what do say.

Robin stepped forward and simply said,

"Thank you, and we'll be carful."

Karasuma nodded, and made a gesture that they should go.

"Wow, can you believe that?" Doujima asked quietly, "Karasuma willfully handed us her car keys!"

Robin smiled slightly, and looked down at her hands. She suddenly jammed her hand into her pocket.

She sighed.

"What?" Doujima was a little startled by the sudden movement from Robin.

"Oh, I just had to be sure I had my glasses. I do." Robin sighed again.

"Ok." Doujima cheerfully said.

As they left the car parking lot, Doujima's cell phone rang. She put it into the speaker mode, and said, "Well, where is this guy, Michael?"

"Well, here is the location." Michael sent a map to the cell phone, it popped up on the screen. "And don't forget to put your earphones in."

Robin looked at each other and silently slipped the small phones in their ears.

"Ok, we're set." Robin said.

Make sure Sakaki can contact you too. And as if on cue, there was another call.

"Hi Sakaki. What's up?" Doujima said casually.

Sakaki was surprised to have Doujima answer. He then remembered that they were on the same line as Michael.

"Well, I see the witch, god, you're sure that this is the guy? He looks so weak."

"I wanted you guys to take out smaller witches first. Just to be sure. Anyways, well, Sakaki, go get em', oh and Doujima and Robin will be listening to see if you need help."

"Thanks, Later."

Doujima parked the car on the side of the road, right where Michael pointed out on the locator.

"Well, where is h-"Doujima gasped.

"Doujima?" Robin and Michael said together.

Doujima looked like she was in a trance. Robin looked around, there, standing next to a tree was the short, raggedy witch.

"Michael, I am going to go get him, he put Doujima into a trance." Robin stepped out of the car.

"Ok, just be careful." Michael said reluctantly.

Robin closed the car door. She stepped towards the witch. She pulled her glasses out of her pocket and slipped them on.

"Oh, how sad!" The witch said. His voice was oddly deep. The little hunter needs glasses to use her craft!" he tipped his head forward, then used his power to try and put Robin into a trance. Robin made a fire-like shield to protect herself.

"Ahh, I see that you have the fire craft. Good, I get some competition." The witch chuckled to himself, then tried again.

Instead of Robin making a shield for herself, she shot fire at the witch. It engulfed him for a second, then disappeared. He stood there, smiling.

He used his craft on Robin again. This time, he succeeded. Robin fell to her knees. Before she was totally in a trance, she caught a glimpse of something black. She then blacked out.

Later

Robin opened her eyes. She blinked a few times, then sat up.

Doujima was sitting on the floor, writing something. She looked up.

"Well! I'm happy to see you awake! I thought we were going to loose you."

"What? What happened? Are you ok?" Robin has thousands of questions bobbing in her head.

Doujima nodded her head.

"I'm fine. That trance felt like sleep. I woke up to see that I was back here. I noticed that you were on the couch, and asked if you were ok, and they said you just needed to wake up. So I have been sitting here, waiting."

"Thank you, that's so kind of you to stay with me." Robin said in a hushed voice. "But...Who rescued us?"

Doujima thought for a second. "Oh yeah, Amon did."

Robin looked around. "Where is he?"

"Oh, Mister Kosaka sent him home. I guess battling with that witch made him really sore. I also heard he landed on his side, his bad side."

Robin gasped slightly. "Poor Amon."

"I know, but we should be thankful he saved us."

Robin nodded. 'That black figure I saw must have been Amon.' She was deep in thought.

"Ah, Robin, you're awake!" Sakaki smiled at Robin. "Well, we are going to leave, are you two going home?"

Both hunters nodded. Robin got up, shook the ruffles in her dress out, and walked over to grab her coat. When she put it on, she looked over at a desk. Her half moon spectacles were sitting there, unharmed. She grabbed them, then went down to the underground parking lot.
