Chapter 8 (Fixed the spelling mistakes!)


Robin collapsed to her knees as the floor below her began to violently shake. She was unremarkably scared, tears stained her cheeks as she struggled to her feet. She had no idea where Miya was. She couldn't think straight. She just wanted to stand up. No avail. Her right ankle was so swollen, the pain was too unbearable.

"Little Robin is in trouble, I see?" asked Miya. Robin squinted across the room and saw Miya seated comfortingly in a chair beside an overturned table from the shaking before. "Now, tell me," she leaned forward, resting her elbows on her knees. "Where is the cat."

"So you can-- can--" Robin struggled to get to her feet. She couldn't give up now. "Kill it?!"

Miya sighed. "You just won't tell me, will you? Fine. Face the consequences, kid, I'll find out with someone else. She raised her foot, then slammed it into the floor, the entire building floor infront of her collapsing in, Robin with it.


By the time Amon got out of his car, he heard the floors caving in. Robin. He lunged for the door.

"Robin!" he thrust himself through the doors, and found rubble scattered amongst the 1st floor. "What..where is she.." Amon looked around him wildly.

"There's her hero, only just seconds too late." murmured Miya behind him. Amon spun around, gun out and ready.

"So you did this. I knew there was more to your powers."

"Tell me, Amon was it? Where is my cat?"

"Where is Robin." he replied. Miya smiled.

"You give me what I want, I'll give you what you want."

"No. Where is Robin. Tell me." he raised orbo-gun, aiming it. "Now."

Miya sighed, and began pacing towards him. "Come now, can't we--" BAM! Amon shot once, and hit her burnt arm. She stumbled backwards.
"How... how... DARE you?!" she screamed, the remnants of the floors above them falling. Amon dodged small rubble fall, aimed, shot again. Miya screamed when the bullet hit her thigh.
"Stop it!" she screamed, another block of rubble falling, hitting Amon in the back of his head, the gun falling from his grasp. He fell forward. "So much for being a hero.." she muttered. Amon struggled to get to his feet as she paced to him. Her foot pushed down on his right hand, which was inches from grabbing the orbo-gun.

"Nuh-uh. Now then, where is the cat." she pressed down harder. Amon twitched, but didn't give in. "Fine." she tossed back her hair with her hand, and bent down, grasping his hand. Her eyes lit up, and a sudden rush of ruthless, extruciating pain flooded Amon's body. He let out a cough of pain, nothing more. He couldn't speak, talk, move. He was on the brink of fainting. "Going to tell me now?"

"Stop it." Miya turned her head, to be faced with an angered Robin. Over-angered. This brought Miya's lips to curve into a grin.

"Or what..? You don't have your glasses, how can you even see what you're doing?" Like a sudden gust of wind, fire gushed onto Miya, engulfing her. Robin limped forward, picked up Amon's orbo-gun, shot twice, and watched the firey haze of Miya fall backwards. She aimed, fired again. Robin dropped the gun. It was over... she was finished. Thank god.

Robin wearily turned to Amon's lifeless body, and knelt down, shaking him gently. "Amon..? Amon. Wake up." Her head was spinning. Her back ached, she HAD just fallen from the floor above, though something broke the fall from actually killing her. She hoped he hadn't gotten it as bad as she had.

"Ro..Robin?" Amon's eyes opened to see his young partner hovering over him.

"Are you alright?" she asked, worried.

"I--"

"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED HERE!?!?!?" screeched Michael, dropping the donut box in his hands. "Oh my god! NO!" he collapsed to his knees amongst the rubble. "My computer!" he picked up the keyboard sadly, and caressed it to ease his pains, muttering "This is not happening, this is not happening," over and over to himself.

Karasuma burst in seconds later. "Are you two alright?! What happened?! Damnit! Michael! Get away from that computer, go call the ambulance! I'll call Factory!" she grasped his arm, and ran out of the building. Robin rubbed her head. Now she felt like fainting.

"Are you alright?" asked Amon, who was helping her to her feet.

"I...think so.. I just.." Robin's worn out, swollen, broken foot gave out, she fell forward, and Amon caught her. She looked up at him, and smiled weakly. "I just need support is all."

"I'm here." he replied, his voice turning in a near whisper, his face lingering just centimeters from hers. Robin smiled again.

"I...know." she replied, as his arms wrapped around her, and held her close. He was her support. He was her reason for fighting. Her reason for being... Robin.


Whoa! It's over!

...anyways, what did everyone think? Was the ending okay?

Author's note: Thank you AATOD, & In True Meanings for pointing out the spelling mistakes w/ Michael's and Karasuma's names!

Also, I did just add in an author's note for chapter 7, about Michael leaving the building. Thanks!


Answering some questions/comments...

(off topic) For Fushigi Yugi, who is Mei-Mei? Do you
mean Nyan-Nyan?
: Perhaps! I'm not sure... all I know is in the English vers. of Fushigi her name is Mei Mei! Hehe. She's the old lady's (cant remember her name right now) servant, she can make duplicates of herself as well.

(Chapter 7) Is there a reason why everyone stopped talking when Robin came in beyond being hurt and Amon not wanting her to go out? : Yes! They where all surprised that she was hurt, because, like Doujima said, the entire case sounded like a joke to the rest of the STN-J crew. Robin proved that this was no laughing matter of a case.

(Chapter 6) Amon told Robin to go to the first floor and Sakaki goes to the 2nd but Sakaki got out on the first then Robin went up to the 2nd. It is really confusing. : Don't worry it wasn't a typo. Robin's the polite type. She let him get off first, then she got off. I guess they didn't really worry about saving time.

(Chapter 4) Haha... Amon as Romeo... now I have this horrible image of my head of him serenading someone terribly under a balcony with a bunch of roses in his arms. No! It must not happen! : Yes! VERY Frightening!

(Chapter 3) I don't think Amon would jump back when Sakaki screamed. : He almost did! But, you do have a point, it IS Amon after all.. of course, everyone gets surprised every now and then, right?

(Chapter 2) How did Amon think up a name like 'Noel'? That just doesn't sound like him. : It isn't something Amon would say, is it? But, he is talking with Robin. Emotions interfere with personality, you know?


I'd like to thank ALL of my reviewers, your optimistic comments made me inspired to write, and your suggestions made me learn alot! I'd love to read some of your guy's fics, and I do believe I can now, since this fic is finished!
