Chapter 7 A Small Twist of Events
A.N. Sry guys for not updating in so long I really hated the last chap, but it's the end of skool and they slam us with about 16 different tests and 20 projects. And I regret to say passing the 8th grade is higher on my priority list than getting my next chapter in at your convenience. This chap will be better then last. I'm just not comfortable writing AmonxRobin. I just suck at romance all together. Maybe Beautiful Witch Hunter Robin can write my next romance scene. Any way just gonna shut up now and write my chap.

Robin just sat there on the floor, stunned beyond belief. What just happened, did that that really happen, was that really Amon? Every possible question to asses the situation seemed to be running through her head at the same time. She just sat there, staring at the closed door, waiting for Amon to come walking right back through it.
'Did Amon and I just...? No that's not possible. Neither I nor him...No.'
But she kept waiting. Her bottle green eyes fixed on the door for any signs of movement.
After about a half hour, Robin faced the conclusion that Amon was not coming back. She shakingly got off the floor and dusted off her dress. 'Why is this all happening today?' She asked herself. After a wile she realized that she would never have and answer and walked into the bathroom.
After her bath she slipped into bed not bothering to dry off or get dressed. She tried to go to sleep as soon as possible, she didn't want time to think. She never wanted to think about that day again. But she was alone, and it was silent so she reluctantly surrendered to her thoughts. The truth was she was going to have to face it tomorrow. She would have to go back to work, and Sakaki, and Dojima would be there. And Amon too. All of whom she had attacked. Would they ever accept her again? Would she be taken to the factory?
Not mention the fact she had almost kissed her room mates boy friend, unaware they had broken up already. She resoled with all these thoughts, until the night and the energy spent on that day, claimed her. The nightmares didn't haunt her that night, giving her a break to prepare for the events that were to take place in the morning.
Robin awoke to smell of fresh coffee. She walked to the end of the bed and picked up her neatly folded cloths. When she appeared in the kitchen her hair was yet to be put up but she had on her sleek black dress as usual. Touko was at the counter with a coffee mug in her hand.
"Good morning Robin, you slept in later than usual today." This took Robin by surprise. She glanced around at the clock. The flashing numbers indicated her that it was 6:15.
"Touko why didn't you get me up?" Inquired Robin
"I'm not your mother," said Touko with a slight edge "besides Amon called and told me your might need some extra sleep and I was not supposed to wake you."
Robin nodded her head ignoring the questioning look from Touko.
"I should probably get going." Said Robin standing up.
"Ok, do you need a ride? I noticed you Vespa was not in the garage" It was then Robin realized she indeed did not have a ride.
"Umm I guess-" Robin was cut off by a knock on the door. Touko looked at Robin for a moment and then proceeded to walk over and open the door, revealing Amon standing on the other side.
"Amon" Robin and Touko said in unison. Robin quickly looked away as to not to meet his eyes. He just looked at her like he always did and said,
"Robin you need a ride." She turned her head to him, but kept her gaze at the floor. The whole time Touko surveying the scene in front of her. Robin slowly got up and walked to the door. There Amon turned and walked away, after he was a few feet ahead Robin fallowed suit.
The car drive was silent. When they exited Robin wondered what Amon was thinking. Was he thinking about her, or had he already dismissed yesterday as just another human emotion to be brushed off and covered up by a cold mask. The guard let them in smiling unaware of how tense they both were.
"Better so soon Miss Robin? Have a good rest?" Robin slightly smiled back in reply, and Amon just kept walking
They entered the elevator Robin quickly flashing back to what had happened the day before. Just like the car drive the elevator was as silent as a graveyard. The dead corpses being the unspoken words which dwelled in both their thoughts but would not leave the safety of their minds. As the blinking lights indicated they were almost to the top floor Robin took a long breath of preparation. She would have to face them all now, the silence and the stares, all of them.
She walked into the office and there was a brief pause and then...she was surrounded.
"Are you alright?"
"Are you ok"
"What happened yesterday?"
"Where have you been?" All of the questions were coming at her too fast. Robin had expected an ambush of cold stares, frightened faces, accusations of witch craft, anything but concern. But the people surrounding her, Sakaki, Dojima and Michael, all had looks of worry in their eyes. Amon just stood for a few seconds waiting for Robin to answer. She finally gave up on trying to figure out which question to answer first so she simply smiled. Her bottle green eyes taking in all the love that was generating from her friends.
"I'm fine" After Robin spoke these two words Amon brushed past every body and headed to his desk, clearly stating for them to do the same. Robin then smiled gain this time out of relief and headed to her computer. Sakaki hesitantly headed towards his work station, but Dojima scurried after Robin.
"So Robin how are you?"
"I'm fine Dojima, I was just a little tired yesterday." Robin tried to avoid the subject thinking she was lucky to get this far unscathed.
"Come on, you can tell me." Said Dojima leaning her head an inch closer to Robin. After few silent moments Dojima moved onto a new topic. One of even greater sensitivity.
"Ok we'll talk about something else, what did Amon do to help you? I mean you seemed pretty upset yesterday, he must have worked miracles." Robin froze and stayed silent. She turned her head so Dojima wouldn't see the slight blush caressing her cheeks. Dojima only got more and more interested.
"Ooooooo so he did do something." Said Dojima smiling. This caught Michael's attention. No matter how loud his headphones were blasting he always managed to catch everything. He turned his head and looked Robin over.
"He's way too old for you Robin." This made Robin's blush deepen and she forced herself not to look anywhere near Amon.
"Oh don't get so jealous Michael it's not like she's gonna' go for a guy like you. This brought a slight tint of pink to Michaels face and he quickly tried to recover.
"No, no, no all I'm saying is that she really shouldn't read anything into it. What ever he did that is."
"Humph what ever, any way Robin-" She was interrupted by a tall shadow lingering over them.
"We have a new case, get ready to leave." Said Amon Robin nodded and looked away. Dojima gave a small sound of annoyance and stalked away.
Out in the parking lot Dojima and Karasuma got into a car, Sakaki hopped on his Motorcycle and Amon , followed slowly by Robin, returned to his car. On the way to the witch sighting, Robin finally got up the courage to talk to Amon. She didn't really want to start up a conversation, she just wanted to find out the basic information.
"Who is it this time?" She asked timidly.
"Sakira Monosacki. We're not sure what her power is but we know it's strong. We need to be on our guard." Amon refused to say any more than that, which left Robin to struggle with her thoughts on her own.
When they reached their destination it had them looking upon an abandoned warehouse. Robin reached a hand into her jacket pocket to make sure her glasses were secured. She needed to stay in control now. The warehouse was made of wood and if she was the slightest bit off target the whole building would go up in flames. She looked up at Amon, who was now standing beside her, for some sign on comfort but was not rewarded with it. He mearly looked ahead to the building then, without turning, listed out the instructions.
"Sakaki go around the back with Karasuma. Dojima go through the front entrance if you see anything alert us. Robin," Robin looked up. 'Please don't make me go with you, please I'm not ready' "go with Dojima." Robin gave a small sigh of relief but showed no sign of it. She just nodded her head once and proceeded to follow Dojima into the building.
In the building Robin surveyed her surroundings. A dusty building with creaky wooden floors that didn't look at all safe. Dojima hurried from corner to corner scanning the halls for any sign of movement. Robin slowly followed her glasses already resting and the crook of her nose. There was a creek from the other room and Dojima ran toward it gun drawn. She stopped quickly in the doorway and thrust her gun out in front of her. Dojima looked upon an empty room and slowly walked around it, to make sure no one was hiding anywhere..
They continued to search through out the house until they met the rest of the group back out in front.
"Nothing" Said Sakaki jamming the orbo gun back in its holster. "Absolutely nothing"
"Well this couldn't have been a bigger waste of time" Said Karasuma "What did Zaizen want us to come out here for if there's no witch to be hunted."
"You got these orders from Zaizen!?" Shouted Amon "I thought you said you got them from Michael!"
"No I got them from Zaizen, why is that a problem?" Amon quickly looked from her to Robin. A huge crashing sound, like 100 garbage cans falling down at once, disrupted the small fight. They all jerked their heads in the direction it came from and slid out their guns. Karasuma was the first to move followed by Sakaki and Dojima. Robin started to run after them but was stopped by Amon's body.
"Robin I want you to stay here, I don't know what Zaizen is up to but I don't trust him." With that Amon turned and hurried after everyone else, leaving a once again stunned Robin behind him.
'What could Zaizen be up to? Does Amon know anything about it?'
Flash Back The elevator
"Why won't you tell me the truth? I need to know weather you just lost control or weather it had to do with the dream. You have to tell me or I might have to do something I don't want to!"
End Flash Back
'What could Amon mean?' Her thoughts were interrupted by a small noise behind her. She glanced in the direction her friends had run off to and looked back again. She slid her glasses on and quietly walked toward the sound. She turned the corner and the last thing she saw was a white van and the men from the factory.
"Amon!" Amon froze in mid-step and jerked around.
"Was that Robin?" Said Dojima. Before any one could say anything else Amon was off sprinting in Robin's direction. When he got back to were she had been left, she was no were to be found. He caught a glance of a white van fleeing the scene, and his blood froze. He could barely breathe.
"Robin." He heard the footsteps of his teammates approaching, but before they could get there he was already in his car, slamming on the gas.
(A.N. OK I thought that was pretty good after a while I just got tired and it is 12:00 P.M. right now so I probably didn't do to well on the spelling. Any I hope you enjoyed this chapter. And I promise you, school is almost out so I will be updating more and more often. Oh and my Inuyasha fic fans out there (how many few there may be) I'll be updating tomorrow I'm to tired right now. Sry again for this being so late, remember Review!)
