Chapter 6: An Uneasy Day At The STN-J

Robin wasn't the first or second person to get to the STN-J.

Karasuma, Michael, and for once, Doujima were there.

"Well hello Robin!" Karasuma said cheerfully. The other hunters nodded.

"How are you feeling today?" Michael asked.

"Oh, fine." Robin answered. Suddenly, her cheeks flushed red.

"What is it?" Doujima asked.

"Oh, nothing." Robin said. She went to go get coffee so she could turn away from the others.

'I can't believe it.' Robin thought, 'Amon and I......are together.......I....Oh my."

Robin heard the elevator doors open, she turned to see who It was.

'Amon!' She quickly turned around. 'How do I do this? How am I going to face him without letting the others know? Oh I need a miracle!! Ok....I can do this.'

She slowly turned around. Then she turned around again.

'Maybe we can forget it if I give him a cup of coffee.'

She poured another cup. When she turned around, she almost spilt it. Amon was standing behind her.

"Umm, Good morning." Robin gave the cup to Amon. She stepped sideways, and walked towards her comrades.

"Michael, how many witches do we have to hunt today?" Robin asked Michael.

"Umm, about....two. Why?"

"Just wondering. Are they going to be a little tough?"

"Well, uhh, yeah, they are, Mister Kosaka told me to make you guys hunt these two because they have been wreaking the most havoc."

Robin nodded. Just then, Sakaki walked in. He stopped when he saw Doujima.

"WOW Doujima! You're here before me! Why don't we all write that down in our record books?" Sakaki snickered to himself.

"Oh, and maybe we also need to write down that YOU are late?" Doujima smirked.

Sakaki mumbled something under his breath. He walked over to get a cup of coffee.

"Good morning Amon." Sakaki wanted to TRY and get Amon to at least be pleasant.

"Sure." Amon said flatly. He looked over to Robin. Robin blushed and he could feel his own cheeks turning a little red. Both hunters looked away.

"Well, Michael said, "Why don't we get started? Amon, Robin, I am loading the location and information into your communicator." Amon pulled out his communicator, and he and Robin looked at the information.

"This guy will pull the energy out of you if he touches you. We need to be careful." Amon flipped his communicator closed and said coldly, "Let's go."

Robin quickly followed Amon out to his car.

When they got in, Amon put the key in the ignition, then stopped.

"Robin, We need to talk before we go."

Robin nodded. "I know."

Amon looked at her in surprise.

"Well, first of all, last night," Both hunters blushed a little, "Was a mistake if you wanted it to be....do you want it to be?"

"I don't know."

"Me either. If we think on it a little, it might help. But also, Robin, if I loose you, on a hunt, or anywhere else, I will never forgive myself."

"Same with me. That's why wee need to be careful."

"Especially today. If your powers are sucked out, you will have to use orbo guns the rest of your hunting career. If mine are sucked out, I may or may not die. The orbo pendant I have only lasts so long and up to a point."

"I know. If we cover each other it will be safer."

"I am proud of you, Robin. You have learned a lot since you came here."

Robin looked at Amon, her eyes were shaking slightly.

"Amon, I-"

Amon put his hand to Robin's mouth.

"We need to get going. Right now we should focus on the hunt."

They drove off towards the location. When they got there, it looked like everything was deserted. Amon and Robin looked around, confused.

"What happened here?" Robin asked in a hushed voice.

"It looks like Michael was right on the location," Amon said flatly, "Lets take a look."

The two hunters got out of the car, and walked over to what looked like a pawn shop. Inside, the witch was inside, grasping some guys neck. A blue aura swarmed around his hands.

"Looks like he is sucking the energy out of everybody here. Let's go in, but let me go first, cover me of anything happens."

Robin nodded and with that Amon kicked the door open. They seemed to catch the witch by surprise. He looked up, then smiled.

"Oh look, more victims. You're both young too, so you will have TONS of energy." The witch smirked.

Amon raised his orbo gun. Robin put her glasses on.

The witch flew at Amon and Robin. A burst of fire erupted in front of the witch, making him stop, and stand on the ground.

"Well, you may THINK that will stop me, but believe me, it wont."

He flew at Roin and Amon again. Amon was about to fire his orbo when Robin stepped in front of him.

"Robin! What are you doing?" Amon practically yelled this into his partner's ear.

"Just keep your orbo gun ready." Robin said quietly.

Another burst of flame erupted in front of the witch. This time, he dodged it. he headed straight for Robin. Amon fired his orbo gun. The orbo hit the witch in the shoulder, making him stop again.

"I don't know if you realize this, but I am also a earth mover." The witch said, and then the roof of the building started to shake.

Amon and Robin looked up.

"Robin, GET OUT!" Amon yelled as pieces of the roof started to fall.

Robin stood her ground. Every piece that came close to them she made disappear in a burst of flames.

"No, Amon, I am covering you. I love you so I will protect you." Robin didn't look away for even a second.

Amon looked at Robin in surprise. She had never said anything like that to him. She hasn't even ever said "No" to him.

"SHOOT HIM!" Robin yelled. "We'll die if you don't! he is almost over powering me!"

Amon concentrated on his target who was standing there, laughing. He sqeezed the trigger. The laughing stopped. Everything stopped. Robin was breathing heavily. She collapsed onto the ground.

Amon bent down to check her pulse. It was fine. He then called Michael to send a factory van.

Amon didn't wait until the van came. He picked Robin up, and carried her to his car. He opened the back door, and gently set Robin down on the backseat.

Later

Robin woke to find herself on a couch. Touko was making something in the kitchen. Robin got up and walked over to see what was going on.

"Touko?" Robin asked.

This startled Touko. She jumped and turned around.

"Robin! I'm so glad to see that you're ok!" She gave her roommate a hug.

"Thank you." Robin said.

"Here, have something to eat." Touko shove a plate into Robin's hands.

The two roommates sat down at the table.

"How did I get here?" Robin asked after chewing the first bite of her meal.

"Amon brought you here. I wasn't happy to see him, but when I saw you in his arms, I actually MADE him come in and lay you down. And then, here you are. Amon practically just walked out of the door."

Robin stood up. "Excuse me, I want to say thank you to him."

Touko nodded.

Robin grabbed her coat, and ran out the door.

She managed to catch Amon as he was getting in his car.

"Amon!" Robin yelled after him.

Amon turned around and Robin ran into his arms. They went into a tight hug.

"Thank you, again. I'm sorry I am being such a burden, and you keep having to save me." Robin blushed at her words.

Amon released Robin, and looked down at her.

He didn't answer her, but they just stared into each others eyes.

"Robin, what you said back at the hunt, you meant it?" Amon asked quietly.

Robin had to think for a second about what she said. She looked up at Amon.

"Yes, I did."

Amon and Robin went into a deep kiss before they both released their grasps on each other.

"You better get back, before Touko thinks I kidnapped you. And, also, get something to eat, you're as pale as a ghost."

Robin nodded and ran off towards the apartment building

When Robin stepped inside the door, Touko was looking at somthing.

She looked up, and smiled. "I had a feeling you and Amon had something going on between you."

Robin just stared at her.

"Well, I noticed something when Amon set you on the couch. He ran his hand down your face. I pretended I didn't notice. But when I looked out the window to see if you caught up with Amon, I saw you to hug, then kiss...." Her voice trailed off, and a dazed look caught her eye.

Robin began to say something when Touko asked,

"How long?"

"H-How long what?" Robin stammered.

"How long have you two been...well.....together?"

"Not long."

"Oh."

"Amon told me that you were a little uneasy around him towards the end....what was wrong?"

Touko smiled, but she looked down.

"Well, I was getting a little afraid Amon was going to reject me. I didn't know if he loved me as much as I loved him. But I guess it's too late now. Well, why get depressed.....want to watch a movie?"

Robin nodded.

Hehehe! my longest chapter so far! R&R!

Also, I got this review saying the plot was too slow.....well...it may be...but it is going somewhere right? Also, the plot is going to be slow because I want to put every reader in a little suspense because the birth of the baby won't be until a lot of chapters away. So get over it.
