AOTD: I think my other story is more popular than this one. It's only got five chapters but already has twenty-five reviews.

Amon: It's because I'm in character.

AOTD: I'm nearing the end of this story, a few more chapters then that's it. I'm gonna try and work on Alone since right now, it's easier to do since SOMEBODY! I'm not saying who coughcoughTonythedipshitcoughcough is pissing me off! How the hell am I suppose to live in this minivan for…until we get to Denver. Can't wait to get out of this car. Just three more hours until we stop…Well that's what Tommy says.

Amon: Just get this over with so we can go back to Alone.

Kita: Am I ever going to play a bigger part?

AOTD: I'm doing the prequel to this story and then the sequel where Amon is more in character than this story.

Disclaimer: I don't make a profit off of writing this story. I don't own WHR and I don't think I ever will but I'll try. Is it me or are these disclaimers and talk shows and chapters getting shorter and shorter? I'm gonna try and do a good fight scene, Tony's gonna help me. He likes to write Tekken and Street Fighter fics so he's good at this. They're fighting games by the way.

Chapter 16: The Deal

Amon had been in a bad mood all day. It was nearly midnight and Amon, Robin and Michael were still at the base. Karasuma was being taken care of by Squall while Nagira was at work. Sakaki and Doujima were god who knows where. Amon was still pacing around, glancing at the clock every now and then.

"Want some more coffee?" Robin asked Michael.

"Yeah, uh, sure."

She poured Amon and Michael a cup of coffee before returning to her brooding state. It used to be Amon who was deep in thought and she who was pacing or sitting impatiently. Kira, he was a deadly enemy. He was even powerful enough to beat Robin with a little too much ease making both she and Amon nervous. After beating her, Kira helped them and made a promise to

protect them but in return, when Amon completely grasps his power, they would fight. Neither could understand why but there was just something about him.

"Let's go." Amon walked to the elevator, Robin at his heels. The doors closed leaving a very suspicious and jealous Michael behind.

Why was it that Amon wouldn't let Robin out of his sight? Michael sighed. There was something weird going on. He had mail. He clicked it open and read.

I'm back, Robin is mine, tell the loser that he better keep his hands off of Eve. Adam has most of them under his spell, she is next. And tell Squall we have Miss Sakura.

"Dammit." Michael quickly called Squall and read him the e-mail.

...

Robin didn't dare say a word as they reached the park. She had been watching Amon out of the corner of her eye. He was very stressed, his grip on the steering wheel was too tight, his knuckles were as white as the purest snow. She sighed inwardly. What did Kira want this time? Her mind drifted to the night they fought each other. Thanks to him, Amon got hurt and in a way, Robin was happy. That same night, she and Amon became one for the first time but she was sure that Amon didn't remember. He was so badly injured. She looked at him, her green eyes shimmering.

Amon was worried but he didn't want to frighten Robin by admitting it. He had to be strong and couldn't lose against Kira. He looked at his communicator, 1:32 AM. Why was he so eager to get this over with? Was he rushing to his death? His thoughts drifted back to when Robin and Kira were testing their crafts against one another. He was trying to remember what

power Kira had. No answers, only more questions flooded his mind. Amon wondered what Robin was thinking at the moment, he took a quick glance at her.

She looked like a goddess. The moonlight gave her skin an eerie yet beautiful and mysterious glow. Her eyes were filled with unshed tears. Her facial features were sad, tired and so guilty.

"Robin, whatever happens, I know that you'll be safe. Kira promised that he wouldn't hurt you as long as I fight him."

"Amon, this is all my fault. If we had never met, you wouldn't have to fight; you'd be much happier and probably still with Touko." Her voice dropped as she said Touko's name. Amon's eyes widened at the mention of her name.

"How did you-"

"I saw you and Touko walking together one rainy day after we hunted that witch with those dolls. If I wasn't around, you'd be with Touko instead of on the run with me."

"Its not true; I was never in love with her. She wanted to get back at Zaizen by dating a seed, that was her excuse. There was never any love, it was one sided. I broke up with her a few days after that walk. I never loved her." Amon turned to face Robin. He held her small, fragile hands in his gloved ones. He brought his face closer to her. Robin was terrified; this was the same distance that they were at during the attack on the STN. He only got this close when bad news was on the way. "Robin, I don't know what Kira plans to do but I want to say this I may never get the chance again, I-"

There was a knock on the window. Outside was the smirking intruder. Kira signaled to them to get out. Amon and Robin quickly followed him, not knowing the three of them were being watched by an all too familiar vampire.

Kira stopped at a clearing. It was the same place where Robin first used her glasses.

"Ready? I'm pretty sure that you two know why we're here. After this sparring match, I wanna talk to Amon...alone. No girlfriend and what we talk about may never be spoken of again in front of any living soul, not even myself."

"Why are you doing this?" Robin questioned.

"Always full of questions no?" He smiled a toothy grin, his fangs bared. "I need to get stronger to beat someone. I need to prove my strength and power by first defeating the two most powerful witches in the world. Enough talk. I want to test your powers Amon. Robin, you'll just have to watch. I really don't want to hurt you."

"No, I want to fight by Amon's side. I will always and nothing is going to stop me."

Kira smirked. "Fine. This park is deserted, I made sure of that. Now we're gonna play a little game. You are the hunters and I will be the hunted. I wanna test your skills as partners to see if you're good enough. If not, then I cannot allow Amon to live. Got that? Good, well, see ya!" He said before disappearing into the night.

The clouds moved, imprisoning the moon's light. Robin thought it was an omen for things to come, but she still had to believe, have faith that this time, together she and Amon could beat Kira.

"Let's go. Amon pulled out his gun and began to walk, Robin beside him. After a few minutes of combing out their surrounding area, there was no trace of Kira. Robin sighed, obviously tired. "Don't let your guard down; he may be around here somewhere." Amon warned turning to face her. He looked into her eyes and brushed away a few strands of hair that fell onto

her eyes.

"Take your own advice Amon!"

He was suddenly thrown to the ground. The two men were rolling on the ground, neither one having the advantage as Amon lost his grip on his gun. They were pretty much equally matched in every way now. Robin watched helplessly, if she tried to use her fire, there was that high chance that Amon could be injured since now she couldn't tell who was who.

Amon finally pinned Kira down before delivering a few good blows to his face. Kira kicked Amon off and quickly got to his feet, lunging at Amon, he used his fire craft to set his gloved fist on fire as he punched Amon. It was a direct blow to his gut, causing Amon to grab his stomach. His black chinese coat had a small, smoking hole with hints of blood dripping out, leaving him open for another attack. Kira kneed Amon in his stomach repeatedly until Robin finally figured out which figure of a shadow was Amon.

Kira felt Robin's flames licking his back; instinctively he dropped on the ground and rolled. Amon recovered and stomped on Kira as he was trying to put out the fire one his trench coat. Robin sent her craft at the figure standing up. With Kira's flames out, he tripped Amon just as Robin's attack hit his arm. Both men were on the ground, struggling against each other.

Kira won the power struggle this time. He grabbed onto Amon's coat line and punched Amon in his face.

Robin couldn't tell who was who, she was too afraid to attack. She looked up to the starless sky and prayed to god that the clouds would art, letting the moon shine. She was unaware that right behind her was her vampire stalker, ready to attack once all her energy was wasted on those pathetic half-breeds.

There was some distance between the two men now; they were both running deeper and deeper into the forest. Trees were passing by them so quickly but neither one caring; both fighters were solely focused on each other. The dark hunter and the young agent were bloody and tired but neither one wanted to lose...for Robin's sake. Amon and Kira stopped dead in another

clearing. A lamppost illuminating them a little. Both looked at each other's injuries. Eying Amon's wounds, Kira realized that he was winning. Either that or the adrenaline pumping though his veins was making him feel invincible. He hoped that his healing powers would kick in soon.

Kira smirked as he got into a defensive kenpo stance. Hopefully Amon would rush in and use up the rest of his energy attacking. Then he'd have to rely on his dark craft.

Amon stood there, analyzing his opponent. He couldn't figure out what Kira was waiting for. His years of training gave him patience and taught him that mostly the younger, cockier fighters were the ones who rushed in head first. But Kira was different. Somehow Amon felt that he knew who Kira was, that he wasn't truly his enemy.

Frustration was taking over but the younger man would not show it. He kept his same, taunting smirk on, just waiting. It was now a game of patience, who could out wait who. Realization dawned on him, Amon was also a very patient man, this could take forever. He had to think fast. Taunting. Taunting Amon about some soft subjects just might put him into a blind frenzy. But would that also lead to Amon using his craft? Kira decided to take a chance.

"Amon, I know about your god forsaken mother. Her craft, so deadly she took out tons of hunters before being killed right in front of you. She used her powers in front of you, you shouted her name and she couldn't concentrate. You killed her."

Amon was trying his best not to let Kira's words affect him. 'Just let it go in one ear and out the other, just like when Zaizen told you to not interfere with Robin's hunt.'

"And then you also left Robin alone with Kita. You caused Kita's death. Everything is your fault. Robin also almost got raped because of you. But most of all you took advantage of her and stole her innocence away from her."

"Shut up. What the hell would you know?!?" Amon shouted. Kira was really pissing him off now.

"Everything." He cooed softly. "It's all your fault, it's all your fault, it's all your fault." He chanted over and over. It was driving Amon to the edge even more than their first fight.

Amon gripped his head feeling a huge headache taking over. "Shut up. Shut up! Shut up!!!" Amon yelled into the darkening skies as the moon and stars returned. Amon fell to his knees, flashbacks, memories better off left forgotten resurfaced.

"Shit..." Kira whispered into the wind. 'I didn't mean to make him go through a mental breakdown. Dammit, I went a little too far.'

'Gee, ya think Kyotoko!'Kita's voice filled his mind. 'Use your healing powers on him, it may help out with his...Just do it bro!'

'Fine, fine.'Kira held his left hand out as a dim, white light shot from the palm of his hand and went straight through Amon. Amon fell to the ground as well as Kira.

Robin ran after the two fighters, she finally saw the outlines of two figures lying on the ground. Kira was the first to get up, Amon rising just as fast if not quicker. He wiped away a bit of blood oozing from his lower lip. Kira spat out a little more blood and acted as if nothing happened.

Amon felt a new power, the bleeding from his stomach was slowing down and he felt somehow refreshed. Everything that Kira said was behind him. 'The need to protect the one I love, that'll unlock my craft.' He thought to himself. He focused the last of his remaining energy on Kira, hoping whatever he did to Midnight he could repeat and do it again to Kira.

Kira braced himself for Amon's attack. 'Whatever it is Kita, I hope all this shit was worth it.'

'Just remember why we're here Kyotoko-I mean uh Kira, whatever you wanna be called now. We've gotta save mom and dad and we need as many powers as possible to truly defeat Adam.'

A black aura surrounded Kira followed by scorching hot flames.

'Dammit, powers work. Gotta concentrate.'

The aura disappeared and both Amon and Robin were shocked to see Kira still there on his knees with his eyes closed. It looked like he was praying as his necklace swung wildly around his neck. The blackish liquid with his cross was bubbling.

"Is that Orbo?" Robin asked Amon. It looked like it but the color was different. Kira's necklace was almost the same as Amon's but instead of the green Orbo in it, there was black liquid.

"In some ways." Kira answered. "I'm still here. Thank God." he whispered as his gaze was upon the stars shining brightly above his head.

A streak of fire was headed towards Kira but then a wall of water appeared canceling out Robin's attack turning it to a white steam.

"I got what I came for." Kira's tone was serious, something neither of the hunters had heard before from the carefree and arrogant bastard before them. "The deal's complete, we're done here. Just leave, leave me here. You won, I admit it. I'll call you and talk to you then." He said before falling to the cold but welcoming ground.

His eyelids grew heavy as a different kind of darkness was blurring his vision.

"Amon..."

"No, he said to leave him, I'm sure he'll be fine. Help me look for my gun then we can go home."

"Together?" Robin asked, her eyes shining from some unknown light source. Amon couldn't help but smile as he wrapped his good arm around her waist, pulling her closer to him.

"Together." He replied before claiming her lips for himself.

"Awwww, how sweet. I hope you'll be the same for me my dear little birdy." From the shadows appeared an all too familiar face.

===================================================================================

AOTD: Would that be considered a cliffie?

Amon:…I'm tired.

AOTD: I'm in a hotel right now with my trusty laptop. Me and Tony decided to write a story together. We're bored. He's got this evil idea about an evil twin. Knowing him he'll make me do the thinking and we'll end up never agreeing on an ending or a plot or anything so if the evil twin story doesn't get finished then it's all his fault.

Tony: (snoring)

Amon: And you're sharing a room with him why?

AOTD: We're just friends. We got the whole dating-your-best-friend out of our systems already. I'm gonna send this to my beta reader and have it posted by maybe…Tuesday?

Amon: I was wondering where the action was. Now I know.

AOTD: It's near the end and now you know. It's nearing the end so I'm wondering what should come next, the sequel or the prequel. Me, Tony and Tommy want the prequel.

Amon: Prequel so we know what's going on. It may shed some light as to who this Kira guy is and Kita.

AOTD: Kira and Kita are a few of my favorites. I've got my friend to draw up what I wanted them to look like but in more of a manga style than a WHR style. It's too hard to draw since I don't like my pictures colored.

Tony: (Turns and is almost off the bed. Awww, he's so cute when that Dipshit is sleeping)

AOTD: Well that's it. No one reviewed but I'm sure that I've got readers so I won't stop writing. And if anyone who reads this also reads Alone, I have to try and figure out should I stop it there or not. I need to make a plot and stuff for that story so I may or may not update that story anytime soon. If I don't like the way I end it then I'm leaving it as it is. Well, that's all for now I guess. NO MORE SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!
