Chapter 11: Running Away and Into Disaster
Robin stayed with Amon as the hours went by, she looked at him as he suffered with his leg.
" Amon can you explain to me what I have missed back home?" she asked
Amon stood in front of the closed window and stared at her reflection. He leaned his head against the window and shook his head.
" Nothing happened," he replied
" You left Italy for some reason and stayed their for awhile," Robin said, " Was there something more important?"
Amon turned and looked at Robin and walked towards the bar. He poured a glass of wine and walked to the couch.
" Important," Amon whispered, " Perhaps."
Robin got close to him and Amon wrapped his arm around her. She took a sip of his wine and smiled a little.
" Please tell me," she said
Amon looked at her and took a sip of the wine.
" It's not important," Amon replied
Robin nodded and said, " Was itbecause of Karasuma?"
Amon looked away and Robin nodded. She sat up and reached over and turned his head towards her gaze.
" You went back to Japan because you received word that she had been hurt in some way," Robin said
Amon looked at Robin and said, " The two months that we played dead, I was only thinking back to what happened at the factory. If it wasn't for her then you and I would be dead."
" So, you owed her a lot?" Robin questioned, " So, tell me Amon what happened."
Amon closed his eyes trying think, but it was blur to him. Robin reached up and kissed his cheek. He opened his eyes and looked at her, she took the wine from him. She reached into her purse and pulled out an envelope. Amon looked at her and as she opened it and pulled out the letter.
" Whispered," Amon whispered
" Amon, her father wrote to you, and I never gave you this letter," Robin whispered, " I was afraid."
Amon looked at her and said, " Of what?"
" I was afraid I would lose you, if you went back to Japan," Robin said
" Read," Amon said
" Dear Amon, I am writing to you because my daughter has expressed deep concern for you. She is worried that you are really dead and never truly told her good-bye like you promised her so long ago. She has continued to ask me if you were a live and I am forced to say no you are not. The past month she has fallen ill from exhaustion, she only mentions one name and that is yours my dear boy. If you have any feelings for my daughter and wish her well…I beg of you to come to her bedside and wish her well…sincerely, Dr. M. Karasuma," Robin read
" She wasn't ill," Amon said, " Like that, she was ill from an infection."
" Amon, the second letter what did it say?" Robin asked
" Her father and I were good friends, he was the one who invited me in after Yumi's death. The letter wanted me to attend a ceremony of memory for Yumi. I could not ignore an invite of celebration of my formal partner, that I cared about," Amon said
Robin looked at Amon and Amon downed the rest of the wine. He got up and poured another glass.
" Why are you asking me this?" Amon asked
" Because I want to know," she replied, " You're a new person and it's only right that you tell me stuff."
Amon looked at the wine glass and bottle beside it and sighed. He closed his eyes to think back on that day.
Past
Amon stood at the gate and waited to see Karasuma's father. It was only a minuet later that Amon was greeted by the old doctor.
" Good to see you my boy," Karasuma's father said
" A pleasure to see you," Amon said
They got Amon's things and Amon explained to Karasuma's father what he was doing.
" How is Miho?" he asked
Karasuma's father smiled and said, " She's home for the winter, a perfect time to see her again…she's doing well."
Amon looked at Karasuma's father and saw a look on his face, which showed doubt. Amon nodded and leaned back and Karasuma's father pulled up into the drive way of his house.
" Here we are, home for the winter my dear boy, the wife's probably cooking up a feast," Karasuma's father said
Amon grabbed his bags from the back and Karasuma's father opened the door. Amon followed behind him.
" Honey I'm home and I got a drifter with me," Karasuma's father called
" Your kidding? Not another one," his wife called
" Actually an old friend," he called back
Karasuma's mother walked in and smiled and walked over to Amon. She kissed his cheek and took his bags.
" It's good to see you again," she said, " Your going to be staying with us?"
" If its alright?" Amon replied
" Of course it is," Karasuma's mother said
She carried his bags upstairs and showed him to the room. She turned on the lights and Amon looked at it.
" It's the same as last time Amon, hope you don't mind?" Karasuma's mother said
" Thank you, it's fine," he replied
" Well, you know where everything is, Dinner will be ready in a little," she said
" Alright," he replied
Amon began to unpack and he stopped when he heard a car door shut. He didn't pay mind to it, probably Karasuma's little brothers coming in. He went and took a shower and changed into some fresh clothes then headed down when he heard a familiar voice.
" Your in time," Karasuma's mother said, " We have company over."
" Oh, someone I know?" Karasuma's voice said
" Yeah, old friend of your father's," her mother replied
" Great," Karasuma said
" Wine Miho?" her father said
Karasuma smiled and said, " Of course, only the best."
Amon walked down and walked into the living room and looked at Karasuma. He stopped and took a deep breath.
" Ah there you are," Karasuma's father said
Karasuma stood up and turned around and her eyes slightly widen. Her hand released the glass and it fell.
" Amon," she whispered
Amon looked at Karasuma and she walked over to him and wrapped her arms around him.
" Your alive," she whispered with tears in her eyes
Amon wrapped his arms around and she kissed his cheek.
" Is Robin well?" she asked
" She's in Italy, we've been there for two months," Amon said
" Happy I suppose," Karasuma said
Amon looked at Karasuma and said, " Miserable."
Karasuma smiled and ran her hand down his suave face. Amon released her from his hold and her mother looked at them. She cleaned up the spilled whine on the tile floor.
They sat down and ate and Karasuma looked at Amon as she ate. Her father addressed her about how the SNT-J was, to break her stare from Amon. She informed them that it was doing well and that Sakaki at the moment was taking charge while she was away. Amon listened to her as she spoke Sakaki's name…it then made him realize that Sakaki was more than just her partner on hunts.
Later, Amon sat on the porch and looked out, when the door opened. A cup of hot tea was presented to him and he looked up at it's presenter.
" Thank you," he said
He took the hot tea and Karasuma sat beside him on the bench. She pulled her jacket tight around her and looked out.
" I've missed you Amon," Karasuma said
" It's been sometime," Amon replied
" I miss yelling at you and fighting with you," Karasuma said with chuckle
Amon turned to and studied how she changed, her hair longer and pulled back, like the old days, her skin tone a little darker. Her voice stayed the same, over all she didn't seem much different. Karasuma turned and looked at him and smiled.
" I guess there are some things you want to keep to yourself," Karasuma stated, " I respect that."
Amon sipped the hot tea and pulled his black coat tighter and sighed.
" You seem sure of yourself now," Amon said, " What changed you?'
" I haven't become sure of myself," Karasuma whispered, " Just know my materials like my boss did."
Karasuma turned and looked at Amon, she reached over and pushed his hair from his face.
" You've changed Amon," she whispered
" No, I haven't," Amon said
That night Amon couldn't sleep, he just laid there and then her heard the door open. Amon turned and look and saw Karasuma walk in, she wore a slip like nightgown that came to her lower thigh. She had a robe on longer than her nightgown, but it was left open. It floated behind her as she walked quietly towards Amon's bed. Karasuma knelt down on the other side of the bed and crawled beside Amon. Amon felt her gentle hand touch his face turn his head towards hers.
" Amon," she whispered
She reached down and pressed her lips against his own. Amon gently pushed her away and she looked at him.
" Amon," she whispered
" Why are you in here?" Amon asked
" I wanted to be close to you," she whispered
Amon looked at her and she looked down at him.
" Please," she whispered, " Please let me have that opportunity."
Amon turned away and said, " I can't….it's not in my nature to let someone in my life."
Karasuma felt tears fall from her eyes and she laid her head down on his chest.
" You left without saying good-bye," she whimpered, " I was so afraid that you were dead."
" Miho," he whispered, " I'm sorry."
" Amon, your someone different, why else would you save Robin? Why else did you let me stay with you when I first came to the STN-J?" Karasuma whispered
Amon looked at her and wrapped his arms around her. He kissed her head afraid to say how he felt, but Karasuma had spoke how she felt. Amon sat up and Karasuma looked at him and he looked at her. She looked up at him and Amon gently leaned over and kissed her.
" I'm sorry," he whispered
He gently stroked Karasuma's body with his hands and they gently slipped up under her nightgown. Karasuma slightly moaned at his gentle yet slightly rough touch. She ran her hands down his chest and kissed him deeper.
By early morning, sounds of pleasure escaped from the room and the desires that were hidden deep inside. Amon took her Karasuma in his arms as they increased the passion and pleasure.
By the time the clock struck 6, the two laid down breathing deep. Karasuma wrapped her arms around Amon and laid her head on his chest.
" Miho," he whispered
She looked up at him and smiled and kissed his neck. Amon closed his eyes and pulled Karasuma close to him. He covered them both and fell asleep.
By late morning Amon opened his eyes and found Karasuma had left. He sighed and turned to his side and looked at the clock that read 10.
" Miho," he whispered
Amon sat up and got out of bed, he headed to the shower. The door opened and Karasuma walked out towel wrapped around her body.
" Amon," she said
" Good morning," he said
" Morning," she replied
She walked past him and both acted as though nothing happened. Amon stepped into the hot shower and leaned one hand against the shower wall. He closed his eyes feeling a huge burden had been not beenlifted,one that he could not close up. He did care about Karasuma, but now that he slept with her, he cared about her more. Amon knew he would have to shut his life from her.
The next few days he did just that, he talked to her as though they were co-workers and nothing more. He went to Tokyo to pay the rent on his apartment and did something out of the ordinary. He started his life over, by cutting his hair short in a professional manner. Amon then changed his style of clothing, though in black he changed into a casual and dressy look.
He returned back to Kyoto and entered the house. He saw Karasuma looking at old pictures and he headed upstairs. He removed his coat and then sat down looking out the window.
Another day came and went and Amon ignored Karasuma, she only gave him a half smile. They would feel nothing towards each other, pretending it never happened.
At the memory ceremony Amon said a few things about his old partner and then looked at Karasuma. He saw feelings enter her eyes and saw tears fall.
At the party to celebrate the many years that Yumi lived, another yet familiar person came.
" Sakaki," Karasuma said
She wrapped her arms around him and he kissed her cheek. Amon looked at Sakaki and smirked and walked over.
" Amon, your alive," Sakaki said
He shook Sakaki's hand in a co-worker manner.
" You've changed," Sakaki said, " Nice hair cut."
Amon shook his head and made a gesture about Sakaki's light full beard, which gave him a mannish look. Sakaki nodded and traced it over with his index finger and thumb.
" It's different," Sakaki said, " I'm kind of getting use to it still."
Karasuma smiled and looked at Amon and looked back at Sakaki.
" It looks good on you Haruto," Karasuma stated
" Your actually trying to grow up now," Amon stated
Sakaki nodded and said, " Yeah, someone's got to try to replace you Amon, when you get old."
Amon gave a slight 'humph' and Karasuma smiled. Amon knew from the way she hugged Sakaki, that they were just more than that. He socialized with the other people introduced to family that Karasuma never told him about. Karasuma's father introduced him to his niece, who was a year older than Karasuma. Features were different and her personality showed very little difference.
As the celebration ended Amon helped the family clean up and Karasuma joined in.
" You and Sakaki," Amon said
" Huh?" Karasuma asked
" It's not a surprise," Amon said
Karasuma looked at him and said, " Sakaki and I are co-workers."
Amon cleaned some plates and Karasuma sat down.
" Co-workers with benefits," Amon stated out of the blue
" Oh please, don't tell me your jealous," Karasuma said
" I don't get jealous," Amon said
Karasuma stood up and picked up the garbage. She walked outside and Amon watched her and sighed.
" Miho," he thought
Afterwards Amon took his shower and then walked into his room. He heard talking outside and walked to the window. He saw Karasuma and Sakaki standing outside holding hands and then he saw Sakaki kiss her. Though the kiss didn't end there Amon continued to watch. He shut the window and fell asleep, but was disturbed by the sounds of footsteps and whispers.
" Shh, my parents," Karasuma's voice came
" I know," Sakaki said
Amon opened the door a crack and saw the two enter the far room. He took a deep breath and grabbed the second pillow then covered his ears, not wanting to hear the noises from the other room.
By the end of the month Amon thanked Karasuma's family for letting him stay. Karasuma's mother hugged and handed him food for the journey.
" Amon, you know your always welcomed here," Karasuma's mother said
" Thank you," Amon said
He took a cab to the train station and sighed as he got on it. He took it home to Tokyo, from there he went home, to his apartment.
2 months later
Amon continued his work at the STN-J. Amon watched as Karasuma and Sakaki kept a slightly work relationship, though at times he was forced to keep them apart. Amon was keeping all feelings from Karasuma as she asked him endlessly if her relationship with Sakaki bothered him. He answered the same every time and she saw him turn away every time.
" Go to work," Amon said
" I am at work and I'm trying to get answers from you," Karasuma said
Amon picked up his things and left the room and left the office telling Michael to forward him anything on the new cases.
By late February there was news on foot that Karasuma was engaged to Sakaki. He did not let this bother him at all and continued on. While plans were made for the wedding Amon decided to work outside the office. He was sent information through his home base computer.
One evening Amon was working and someone knocked on his door. He walked to it and opened it to see Karasuma standing there.
" What are you doing here?" he asked
" I came to bring you something to eat is that a crime?" she stated
" No, it's not, but you shouldn't be here," Amon replied
" And why not?" Karasuma asked
Amon looked at her said, " Come in."
He shut the door behind her then put tea on and some coffee. Karasuma sat down and Amon came and gave her tea.
" Come on Amon, why aren't you coming to the office, you look like crap?" Karasuma asked
" Your talking about marriage," Amon said, " I don't want to hear it."
" Don't be a scrooge, you can a least be grateful that it's someone I can trust," Karasuma said
" Miho, your 19 years old and you marrying a guy 2 years younger," Amon said
" 1 ½ younger," Karasuma said, " Sakaki just turned 18."
" I don't care, your father's probably having a fit," Amon said
" Your jealous," Karasuma said
" No, I don't get jealous," Amon replied
Karasuma sighed and looked at her tea and then looked at Amon.
" Can you please leave?" Amon asked
" Why have a date with your computer?" she asked
" No, I have a life to get back too and I have company coming over," Amon said, " So please do me the favor and leave before my company comes."
Karasuma stood up and looked at him. She nodded and set her cup down and grabbed her coat.
" Here, I just wanted to drop this by, actually Haruto sent me to ask you if you would step in for his cousin as best man," Karasuma said
" I don't do weddings," Amon said
" Could you a least do it for me?" Karasuma pleaded
" I don't do weddings especially for my own hunters," Amon said
Karasuma narrowed her eyes at him and walked to the door.
" You are a selfish man Amon, I'm glad I didn't fall in love with you," she said
As she opened the door she saw her cousin standing at the door.
" Keiko," Karasuma said
" Miho, what are you doing here?" her cousin asked
" Dropping offpaper work for Amon, he's been out of the office. I have to do personal deliveries," she said
Amon looked at the two and shook his head. Karasuma walked off and Keiko walked in.
" What was that all about? She seemed kind of angry," Keiko asked
" Nothing," Amon said, " Are you ready?"
She nodded and Amon got his coat and they headed off to have a evening together. Amon's mind was deep in thought and Keiko only could see wonder.
Amon began to work in and out of the office, avoiding Karasuma. Amon leaned back in his chair and emailed Robin to tell her that he was doing ok and he wouldn't be back in Italy for some time.
" Amon, can I speak to you?" Sakaki's voice interrupted his thought
" Yeah," Amon said
Sakaki sat down and Amon looked at the young hunter. Still the same look and hair a little longer than before.
" Don't tell me you have cold feet already," Amon said
Sakaki shook his head and said, " Nah, it's not that…I wish it was only that. Actually I need assurance from you."
" From me?" Amon asked
" Miho is kind of tied up to her own mentor," Sakaki said, " I just wanted to get a clear understanding about the woman I'm to marry in less than 4 months."
Amon looked at him and nodded and grabbed his coffee.
" Karasuma's mind has drifted with her heart," Amon said, " You want to know if she and I had a relationship and not only that if we still have feelings?"
" Yeah," Sakaki said
" Sakaki, Karasuma's an emotional person, but there was never us," Amon said, " She and I were only partners and lived with each for the first 3 years at the STN-J. What ever feelings happened between us no longer exist."
Sakaki let himself relax and nodded at Amon.
" Did you two sleep together?" Sakaki asked
Amon stopped and looked at Sakaki and then sighed.
" Yes we did, but it didn't mean anything, It was just lust," Amon said, " and her wanting to be close to me for old times sake."
Sakaki lowered his head and then nodded.
" Thanks Amon," Sakaki said, " You've just assured me that I'm making the right decision. She said the exact same thing."
3 months 3 weeks later
Amon watched each day as the big day came for Karasuma and Sakaki, they were happy together. Amon knew Karasuma and himself had fallen out of love, he wasn't jealous, just upset that he never acted with his heart.
Amon walked along the city lines and looked at the beautiful lights of Tokyo. It was by chance that he would meet his past on the street.
" Amon," a voice called to him
He stopped and turned around and took a deep breath.
" Touko," he whispered
She smiled and said, " It's been sometime."
She walked over to him and kissed his cheek and Amon looked at her.
" Your looking well," Amon said
" Your not so bad off, how about a drink," Touko asked
Amon nodded and Touko wrapped her arm around Amon's and led him to a bar. They sat down and had a couple of drinks together.
" I was told to forget about you by my father as I recovered, but I just couldn't," Touko said
" I would be lying if I said I didn't, but I have thought of you," Amon said
Touko lifted her drink and raised it.
" Youth and being single," Touko said
Amon lifted his glass to Touko's toast and then downed his third drink for the night. Touko and Amon talked about what had happened the last few months of their lives. Life had been good at times as Amon reflected back, but had become worst at times.
" Karasuma, she's the one that is the niece of your first partner?" Touko asked
" That's right," Amon said
" Amon, I'm going to kind of sound foolish when I say this, but it's the truth," Touko said, " I always thought you were seeing her behind my back. I know it's foolish to think something."
Amon kind of smiled and shook his head.
" The truth of the matter is that, It was the past and it only seemed to be a crush and that was it," Amon said
" So, she's marrying her partner, well Amon you should be happy it's someone you know well and can really trust," Touko said, " There are other people for you perhaps it was in your destiny to only hold a friendship with her."
That night Amon thought about what Touko said. She had a point and he was beginning to feel a lot better.
Wedding Day
Amon packed a few things into a suitcase. He stared at the wedding invitation and shook his head.
" I'm returning to Italy," Amon said
" So, your leaving us again?" Karasuma remarked
" What does it matter you? Your getting married," Amon replied
Karasuma walked over to him and wrapped her arms around Amon. Amon turned and looked at her. He placed his hand on her face and she looked at him.
" Don't follow me," Amon said, " Your free to go, your not under my care anymore."
Karasuma placed her hand onto his hand and fell into his touch. Amon sighed and hugged her like a final good-bye.
" This is good-bye Amon," Karasuma whispered as tears fell from her face
" Forever," Amon replied, " Go be with him, you don't need me to help you live a life."
Karasuma kissed him on his cheek and walked off not looking back. Amon looked at his apartment.
" My home is no longer here in Japan, but with someone else," Amon whispered
He packed a lot of things in boxes and then set them down. His suitcase was packed for months and maybe a year or so.
By 6 o'clock Amon loaded his car and headed out, but what he now felt was not regret, but anger. He also felt fear for Karasuma's new life and what it offered to her. The ice on the road was becoming thick and slippery. Cars were going fast and Amon was taking his time, though as he thought about the future, anger was taking control. His foot pressed against the pedal and became faster. What laid ahead was the future for him full of pain. It was a brief second that it claimed his pride and part of his life in the process. Amon saw something in the road and slammed his breaks, but they went out on him and he stirred towards the side to hit the rocky side road. Amon's car found a dip and flipped landing on front near the engine. He breathed deep before he fell out of consciousness.
Days later Amon came too and he found Karasuma and Sakaki by his side. He was surprise to see the rest of the STN-J there too. Amon closed his eyes and woke up hours later.
" Your awake," Karasuma's voice said
Amon looked over and she smiled at him.
" You scared us there for a second Amon, we thought you were dead," Karasuma remarked
" Am I dead?" he whispered
" No, your alive," she said
Sakaki walked in with coffee and handed her one, and sat beside her then looked at Amon.
" Well, glad to see your awake," Sakaki stated
" I don't know if I'm glad too be here," Amon whispered
Karasuma's father walked in and looked at Amon.
" Your one lucky man Amon," he said, " It's going to take a couple of surgeries, but your up for a full recovery."
He looked at Karasuma and Sakaki and smiled at the happily married couple. Amon looked at the machines that beeped. He sighed and sat up carefully. He felt woozy and laid back, he looked at the bandages that wrapped around his arms and legs, along with one around his neck from a cut. Sakaki looked at Karasuma and whispered something in her ear and Karasuma nodded. Amon watched him get up and leave. Karasuma looked at Amon as he turned back and looked at her.
" Amon," she whispered
" Congratulations," Amon said quickly
" Thank you," Karasuma said, " Amon, this is hard for me to say it."
" Then don't," Amon replied, " Right now I don't need to hear words, I don't even need to see you. You need to be on your honeymoon."
Karasuma shook her head and said, " No Amon, you need us right now…we're family and we don't abandon one another."
" I don't need you," Amon said, " I need only the comforts of what I have to offer."
" Your so selfish Amon, you only care about yourself, you don't let anyone care about you," Karasuma snapped, " Sakaki and I came to help you because you are the man who gave us the experience in being hunters."
Amon looked at her and turned away feeling his heart hit against his chest. He didn't need her nor want to hear what she had to say.
1 week later
" Alright Amon back home where you belong," Karasuma said
Amon looked at his apartment, as he walked in with crutches. It made him feel lonely and unable to handle what life would be like now that he was unable to use one leg for a very long time.
" Here are your things Amon," Sakaki said as he sat them down
Amon didn't reply and Karasuma sighed, Amon stopped and looked at something. A picture that he didn't remember putting there. Karasuma walked over to him and placed her hand on his shoulder.
" I thought it would help you," Karasuma said
" Take it off," Amon said
" Why?" Karasuma asked
" Because I said so, now do it, I don't want to see that picture again," Amon replied
Karasuma gave him a frustrated sigh and walked in front of him.
" Amon, your only pulling away," she said
" Good, now leave," Amon said
" No," Karasuma said
" I said leave," Amon growled
Sakaki stepped beside Karasuma and looked at Amon.
" Don't speak to her like that, she's trying to help. You only think of yourself Amon…we have come all the way to get you back to a normal life. Your throwing our kindness out the window," Sakaki said, " I'm sick of it you selfish bastard."
Amon looked at Sakaki and pushed past Karasuma and Sakaki. He threw his crutches down and grabbed the picture and threw it out the window. Amon breathed deep and fell to his knees collecting his crutches.
" We're leaving," Sakaki said
" Good, and stay away," Amon growled
The door shut and Amon let his crutches fall and then laid on the floor where he fell asleep.
" Why me?" he whispered
The following day, there was a knock on the door early the next morning. Amon opened his eyes and looked around feeling a draft. He remembered that he threw the picture out the window. Amon pushed himself up and grabbed his crutches and made it to the door. He opened it and looked at Karasuma as she stood there.
" What do you want?" he asked, " I told you to stay away."
" You were upset," Karasuma said, " Can I a least try to help you?"
" Your not helping me now," Amon replied
" Just let me," Karasuma whispered, " You don't give people a chance Amon."
Amon stepped aside and Karasuma walked in. She began her daily check ups and made appointments for Amon. Amon was brought to work by Sakaki and did not speak to him in anyway. Sakaki did the same telling Amon he didn't much like his attitude towards people who tried to help. Of course Amon ignored every word from the young hunter
The first week ended and Amon's attitude continued to sour, when Karasuma couldn't come Touko came and helped Amon. He was bitter to her as well, but she was use to it when it came to personal stuff. She had someone fix the broken window and tried to reason with him.
Amon went through another surgery to correct the other surgery. His left leg was alright and now he just used a can to get around. Unable to use his right leg Amon decided he needed no more surgeries and would just live that way. The STN-J felt he was becoming depressed because he was one leg short of happiness, as so to speak.
" The doctor said to soak your leg a least for 20 minuets a day," Karasuma said
" Do you mind," Amon said towel wrapped around his waist
Karasuma backed out and Amon shut the door. He let the water get nice and warm and then got in. He soaked his leg and let it adapt to the temperature. He leaned back and closed his eyes. His phone rang and he picked it up.
" Hello," Amon answered
" Amon, it's Robin," Robin's voice cleared the line
" I heard the news, I'm sorry I wasn't there," she said
" It's not your fault, It was my own," Amon said
He talked with Robin for a little and then hung up. He dried off and wrapped a towel around him then walked to his room, with his cane at hand. He dressed in his old attire and walked out. Karasuma looked at him seeing he did not change into something more comfortable.
" I'll be back tomorrow," she said, " Take care."
This went on for days and Amon finally booked a flight to come back to Italy. Robin had sent him information on a surgeon, who could help him. He was sold on that idea and would fly Saturday of that week.
" Flying are you sure your leg can handle that?" Karasuma asked
" I'm 26 years old, I know if my body can handle that," Amon said
" Alright," Karasuma said
Present
" So, here you are now," Robin said
" Yes, here I am now," Amon said, " Staying for as long as I can."
Robin smiled and got up and walked to Amon. She wrapped her arms around him from the back and Amon looked up.
" Robin," he whispered
" You've been through so much and I only ask that you share a piece of your pain with me….you've loved so many and it would be a shame that you lock yourself up," Robin said
Amon turned around and looked at Robin, he shook his head broke free of her hold.
" I'm sorry Robin, but I can not share my pain with you," Amon said, " My pain is far to much for one woman to with stand."
" Then let me share it with you forever," Robin said
Amon stared out and shook his head.
" I'm meant to be alone and that is what I will be for eternity," Amon whispered
Robin walked over to him and grabbed his hand and then reached up and turned his head towards her.
" You once told me that your trusted me, so why can't you now?" Robin asked
" Because I don't want to hurt you," Amon said
Robin reached up and kissed Amon and Amon took a deep breath. He kissed her back not tearing away from her lips. She then pulled away and put her finger on his lips.
" You won't hurt me Amon, what will hurt me is you leaving again," she whispered
