Author's Note: Ever notice in action movies the girls usually have their hair down? That's so impractical!

Thank you Golden-Sama. Great suggestion.
Demented mind person... you know who you are... but do you know why you are so demented?
1. You have me as a friend.
2. You play too much Final Fantasy.
3. You just ARE!!!

This one is for you. ::poke poke::

Questions part 8:


(sigh)

-Bored?

Yes.

-I thought you were going to go shopping.

I did.

-Really? My limited experience with women and shopping has involved multiple bags and many hours.

It was only a shirt.

-Hmmm.

Amon?

-How is your shoulder?

Oh, it's fine.

-Don't complain that you're bored.

Why?

-The last time you did, you got hurt.

But I am.

-Are you sulking?

No.

(silence)

Amon?

-Yes.

I'm bored.

-(sigh) I'm sorry.

Mmmm.

-Harry has a lead on a place for us.

Where is that?

-America or someplace in Europe.

What will we do there?

-What do you mean?

We used to hunt witches. But that was with the STN-J.

-I think your first concern ought to be on survival.

I think we're both strong enough to handle anything.

-Don't get overconfident.

Amon.

-No, Robin.

Do you even know what I'm going to ask?

-Yes. You may not tell Michael.

Not even that we're leaving?

-No.

Fine. But just so you know, I'm not very happy with simply abandoning our friends like that.

-I know. But we must.

Damn.

-You're a bit young to curse don't you think?

Amon, I'm fifteen, living alone with a twenty-five year old man who is part of a governmental conspiracy which hunts witches. I think I deserve some liberty.

-I suppose.

Amon, before we leave, I would like to go to church.

-(silence)

Please?

-You had better go now then. Things will go quickly once Harry gives the word.

Would you...

(At the church)

-Will this take long?

I'd like to pray.

-How long will that be?

Depends. I'd like to ask for strength and peace for those we'll be leaving behind.

-Why do you pray?

It gives me a sense of peace.

-How? You are the god' of your kind.

And someday they will pray to me? The very thought is blasphemy.

-But it may become true.

I won't let it.

-Hmmm.

God is the master creator. I have been created perhaps for the salvation of witches. However, that does not make me greater than God.

-What does it make you?

A tool for God's purpose in the future of this world.

-And you are satisfied with that idea? Being only a tool?

Amon, it is more than that. It gives me peace at heart and mind.

-Faith.

Yes.

-You have greater tolerance than I.

But are you not doing the same thing?

-No.

But you followed the orders of the STN-J.

-It was my job. My life was on the line.

To me, my soul is on the line.

-I suppose then we do have something else in common.

Amon, where will we stay? What will we do when we leave?

-We will stay where the contact puts us. We will do whatever we must to survive. Nagira may have a information net that may hire me. You can become a messenger again.

I don't want to leave.

-I know.

This is home.

-A home which no longer welcomes you in. Do not argue with me, Robin. It is decided.

Is it our fate to forever be on the run?

-Only until the world learns to accept us. With people like Zaizen still in power, we must bide our time.

Will you always be my watchdog?

-Must you even ask?

Mmmm, I suppose you will. That is your fate.

-And yours is to save our people.

You said our people'.

-(silence)

Amon?

-Well they are, aren't they?

I'm glad to hear you say so.

-Why?

Because you have accepted who you are, who I am.

-I have always accepted what you are.

Really? I was under the impression you hated witches.

-I did my job. I wanted to know if there was ever a way to prevent such violence from forever being a trait of witches.

And the answer is me.

-Yes.
