Chapter 29: Reunion
(A/N: Just a little note, it'll be nice if you could listen to the final fantasy ten song Suteki da ne, Isn't It Beautiful. Well, the one without words actually works better, it was the song I was listening to when I wrote this but I liked Melodies of Life better as lyrics. And fuck ffdotnet, don't care if they erase me, you can always find me again at fictionised or maybe animespiral.)
Suddenly a dark figure shot up in bed, the bed sheets falling off of the male figure's lean, slick chest. Sweat ran down his body, fear taking its toll on the figure. He sat up, running a hand through his tangled, dark locks of hair.
That dream…no, memory turned nightmare…He closed his eyes, his breathing began to slow down…calming himself down as much as he could before recalling it.
Kira. No, his powers had taken over him, throwing him into berserker mode, the same one he was in a few moments before. Devil wings, black fur, darkness…the power of a demon's was coursing through both of their veins.
Amon…remembered pain. Kira mumblings about his mother and how he had hurt her…but something was off. Something inside of the dark hunter was telling him to help Kira, even if he may die.
Flash.
Kira charged him, throwing Amon's limp body against a wall. He could feel blood running down from the back of his head. He remembered closing his eyes, seeing everything flash in front of his eyes, even memories he wasn't even aware of.
A little boy and girl with dark hair.
A blonde woman carrying his child in one arm, the other around her stomach which was quite large.
A warm bed and body against his.
Cries, screams, curses, promises…
Then a surge of emotion; pain, grief, guilt, anger, hatred, love…betrayal…
Robin…
She turned to him and smiled, reaching out for his hand. "Amon." His name rolled off her tongue, her sweet, melodic voice ringing in his ears. "Amon, stay."
Flash.
Kira was back to normal, yet his eyes still burned red with hatred as flames licked his sides. Flames…fire from hell itself surrounded the room.
"If you die, you can't hurt her anymore." His eyes flashed violet before the building began to crumble around them. A large part of the ceiling was coming down…
"AMON!" And his world went black.
"Amon…still dreaming?" Robin asked.
Amon looked around, a bit shocked that it was morning and that he didn't feel her come into his room. Amon breathed out heavily, turning his face away from her. He never got the whole story on what happened to Kira, only Robin knew and she wasn't telling anyone.
It had been five months since Midnight kidnapped Robin, all the STN-J went their separate ways for a while to think and work out relationships. Robin, of course, stayed with him but did leave to visit Kita every once in a while. Kira though…well, he was never heard from.
"Amon?"
"I'm fine." He said gruffly, a pang of guilt welling up in him as he looked over Robin's figure. Here she was, about six months pregnant with his child and he was treating her like shit.
He had a reason to…not a good one but at least he had a reason…
He was scared.
They had gotten so close to one another, he was afraid of what might happened if he…lost her. It was better this way if he pushed her away…right? A voice told him he was an idiot while another said it was the best thing for them. The last one told him he was a bastard to leave her pregnant while she was in love with him and pregnant with his twins. Great.
"Amon, you going to get up? It's almost ten, we'll be late for the reunion if we don't hurry."
A grunt.
Robin looked down at her feet before walking out of his room, tears threatening to fall out. Why? Why would he push her away after all they had been though together? When they first came back, he was warm and loving and now he was back to his…his…would it be right to call it normal?
Emerald eyes widened in realization, this was his normal. He…never loved her, cared for her or anything. She was just his charge and the only woman around for him. She was used…Amon used her for one thing only and that crushed her even more. Broken hearts, empty promises and more lies…lies she needed to keep on going…
Alone for a while I've been searching through the dark
For traces of the love you left inside my lonely heart
To weave by picking up the pieces that remain
Melodies of life--love's lost refrain
A few minutes later, Amon was done and ready for that stupid hour drive to his idiotic half-brother's home. Wait, that wasn't right. Nagira wasn't the idiot in the family, he was.
Guilt.
He was treating Robin like shit again but for some reason Kira's words to him kept in his mind.
(((((((((((((((Flashback)))))))))))))
"Everyone knows you better than yourself because you hide and deny things about yourself, it's easy to read you." Kira smiled.
((((((((((End))))))))))
'Is that true? Am I that obvious?' Amon thought to himself was another one came.
((((((((((((Flashback))))))))))))
"But it IS true love, I'm proof of that. Amon's gonna propose to Robin a little later. Wedding bells are everywhere. Well, better go look for the elusive male known as Amon."
(((((((((((((((End)))))))))))))
Kira had thought that Amon was gone, but he wasn't too far off. He could still hear him say those words, adding more suspicion. Amon thought he knew who Kira was, but that was impossible. He was sure that Nagira was his only brother. And strange as it may seemed, he thought a bit about it. Kira could be his-
(((((((((((((((Flashback))))))))))))))))
"I think you lost something." Kira walked over to Amon and handed him the ring. "Is it for Robin." He said it more like a statement than a question. Amon nodded absentmindedly. For some reason he felt safe around Kira, like he could trust him.
"I was going to propose to her when we came back here. It's been a crazy week and a half. While we were in America, the day I was going to ask her you challenged her." Amon had no clue why he was telling Kira all these things but he just couldn't stop himself. "But now look at her, at us. In one week our lives have been changed drastically over and over again. It's like I'm cursed to end up like this, every woman I ever love keeps on betraying me."
"I get the feeling but when we get Robin back you are still gonna ask her right?"
"I don't know. She might say no."
"Everyone is afraid of rejection, it's in human nature."
(((((((((((((((((End)))))))))))))))))))
Rejection…Amon stared at the back of Robin's head as she slowly ate her snack.
Courage.
He was just going to get it over with. With that small, velvet box in his pocket, he walked towards Robin, wrapping his arms around the young fire witch, startling her.
"Amon?" Robin's shocked face only deepened as his lips met hers fiercely, demanding entrance to which she applied.
Just as quickly, Amon pulled away, his hand reaching to grab that damned ring. "Marry me." Amon murmured against her ear as he opened the small box.
Our paths they did cross though I cannot say just why
We met, we laughed, we held on fast, and then we said goodbye
And who'll hear the echoes of stories never told?
Let them ring out loud till they unfold
Robin gasped before pushing him away, anger apparent in her eyes.
"Is this some sort of sick joke to you Amon?" Robin's normally calm face displays disgust…for him. She glared at him, Amon would feel her masked fury behind those emerald orbs. "You push me away then save my life only to point a gun at me, then you have the nerve to turn my world upside-down, taking me to yet another feign country where you made so many useless, empty promises to me that you weren't going to keep and now this?
"I gave you everything I had and you used me, I am nothing to you!" By this time Amon had on a blank expression, her words stabbing him over and over as her unchecked tears added salt to his wounds.
"You push me away, then expect for me to be there for you, to take care of you so you can move on then you come back, kissing me tenderly and making me feel special only for it to be a damn, sick joke. Do you think this is fun or something Amon?
"Toying with me and my emotions, asking me to do something sacred with you only to push me away and deny it a few weeks later, then demand for me to marry you?" Robin stormed off, leaving Amon. Words couldn't describe what he felt…it was a new emotion to mankind itself. Hard to explain…was this rejection?
No, it wouldn't hurt this bad…he wasn't angry, that was for sure. He knew he was lower than anything in this world, he wasn't even good enough to suffer in hell for all eternity. So…just what was it?
(((((((((((((((Awhile later))))))))))))))))
Amon came to Nagira's alone. He found out the fate of Kira as well as the other members. Kira was alive and well, he had lost control of his powers, that was all. Kita was living with him, helping him as well as Robin. Robin…she had come with the twins.
Pain.
That was what he was feeling.
An intense, overwhelming, ripping his flesh to pieces over and over again pain. A pain he couldn't escape, couldn't describe, torment, angst, heartache. He felt…numb, yet he wasn't. The day, the party was going by him quickly.
Amon's eyes flashed gold, speeding up time. Another power he found out he had, time manipulation. He could control it sometimes, quicken or slow things down. He could even…travel back for a few minutes yet he didn't use it when it came to Robin. He wanted to make mistakes, learn from them and try again to win fair lady's favor.
His Robin senses picked up her presence nearby.
His eyes flashed again, slowing it down as the goddess and keeper of his heart walked by him, wind blowing slightly at her down hair. His steel blue eyes feasted on her body like there was no tomorrow.
She was wearing a beautiful silken white gown. He watched as she stopped for a minute as a rather strong wind blew, the bottom of her dress hung onto her legs as Robin tried gracefully to keep her blonde hair, which she finally let down, out of her eyes.
He stopped everything, getting a headache from using his powers for too long and from the pressure of seeing the one thing he could not have, the Forbidden Fruit that was Robin. Instead, he settled for watching her like some stalker…
'Stupid idiot.' He belittled himself as he stood up, needing to get away from all the dizzying sounds. He stumbled a bit to the beach that was not too far off.
In my dearest memories
I see you reaching out to me
Though you're gone
I still believe that you can call out my name
It was so surreal…the scent of the salty waters, the gentle winds blowing at his face, chilling the dark hunter to the bone as the setting sun disappeared into the sparkling water. He relaxed, thinking of everything that had happened to him since he first met Robin.
The ups, the downs, the pain, the tears, the heartache, the love…she was the only one who actually noticed people. She saw through masks, helped, when people who had too much pride to ask for it, needed it…
She was always there and he took her for granted.
"Amon…" The wind whispered, he closed his eyes as his mind fooled around with him. He imagined Robin standing in front of him, looking down at him with those all knowing, all seeing emerald eyes of hers.
"Amon." Her sweet voice rang in his ears, how he wanted it to be real.
He smiled at the fake Robin before voicing out his thought, "If only you were real…if only I would listen...if only….if only…suteki da ne. Futari te wo tori, aruketa nara
ikitai yo, Kimi no machi, ie ude no naka." Amon sang softly as Robin sat down next to him, touching his cold face. (Isn't it beautiful, To walk together in each others hands, I do so want to go, To your city, your house, into your arms.)
"I am here Amon, for real." Puffy eyes looked at him, dried tears on her cheeks as Robin kissed him ever so gently on his lips.
"So you are…" Amon breathed, happy that she was his and here with him. "I do love you Robin, I'm just a stubborn old fool." Amon confessed as he pulled Robin into his lap, resting his chin on the crown of her head.
"Tell me the words I want to hear from you, tell me the words that will race my heart, tell me all the things I love to hear, tell me things that make my heart fall in love all over with yours. All the words you say have warmed my blood, all those words you kept for that one day tell me. All the things you said back then made me survive today. Let me hear you say those words again, let me hear you say those words I love, let me hear you say those things that makes me think about you everyday. Your very voice sounds so pure, I can't let you stop. Your look so sincere, I can't pull away. Your scent so sweet, don't move sway. Your touch so soft, I can't even say.
"I need to hear your words, your voice makes them more. I need to hear the melody fly into my heart. Those words you always say sound so new, no matter how many times you say it, I'll always crumble to my feet. Your words are stronger each time and I fall from defeat. I need you, I need you to tell me…Tell me those words you say so rarely, raise my chin and daze into my eyes. Softly yet clearly, whisper those words I love to hear. Tell me…Tell me please, tell me that you love me, say you'll be need, please declare that you'll be mine."
Amon pulled out the silver ring, "I mean it all Robin, I want you and only you. Please be my wife."
"Amon." More emotional tears sprang out as Robin threw her arms around the hunter. "Amon…"
He chuckled lightly. "That's pretty much all you've been saying to me all day."
"Yes…I know…Amon."
"So you're mine…now and forever. And I'm not saying anymore of the mushy shit, one time deal." Amon muttered as he rested on her smaller form, gaining a giggle out of the fire witch who changed his life so much.
A voice from the past, joining yours and mine
Adding up the layers of harmony
And so it goes, on and on
Melodies of life,
To the sky beyond the flying birds--forever and beyond
"She's cute." Karasuma cooed softly as she picked up the small two year old girl from her mother. She had cinnamon brown hair just like her father but pure white eyes like her mother.
Squall smiled, he was happy that Lenne understood and that Karasuma forgave him but god damn! Now he was going to be a father of two at only nineteen. So much for a social life.
As Lenne and Karasuma talked, Squall snuck off to go and approve of Sakaki dating his sister, as long as he didn't get her pregnant that is.
Making his way to where the rookie and his baby sister were dancing, he cut in.
"May I have this dance?" He bowed lightly, Sakaki gave a nervous smile as he let his girlfriend go.
Another slow song began as Squall began talking. "Fine, after much deliberation, I give. I fucking give up. You can date him but you better not end up pregnant k?"
"Um…ok." Sakura said a bit sheepishly, blushing a bit as Squall left to go back to his girls. Sakaki walked by his girlfriend.
"Um, does he know?" Sakaki asked cautiously seeing as big brother was still in earshot.
"Nope, but he's going to let us date…however, he's going to kill you in about ten minutes."
"Why's that?"
"He said no sex." Sakura gestured and smiled coyly.
"Crap. Should I leave the country?" Sakaki asked, totally serious.
"Maybe, but then you'll have to keep looking over your shoulder incase if big brother hires a few hit men to get rid of my baby's daddy."
"Gee, thanks Sakura, you sure know how to make a guy feel safe." Sakaki said rolling his eyes.
"Thankies." Sakura gave him a small peck.
Squall was going to SKEWER him. And then, maybe he would boil the pieces and feed whatever remained of Sakaki to stray dogs. Both Sakaki and Sakura had to wonder if the river near town was deep enough just under the bridge to hold him and an overly-large stone.
After a few more moments of the unholy silence…
"Fuck! Fuck fuck fuckity fuck! Squall's going to CASTRATE me!" The stupid rookie hunter blurted quiet loudly, causing many people to look at him and Sakura as she made her escape, beet red.
"I'm gonna what to who?" The clearly clueless Squall asked.
So far and away, see the bird as it flies by
Gliding through the shadows of the clouds up in the sky
I've laid my memories and dreams upon those wings
Leave them now and see what tomorrow brings
It was finally dark as Amon and Robin came back from their little lusting and loving. They watched as Nagira announced that Dojima was pregnant.
"That's great, now I don't have to go through this alone!" Karasuma said, holding onto Squall's hand.
"We all know Robby's pregnant." Kita said, popping her gum.
"Really? So's Sakura." Sakaki said out loud accidentally.
"WHAT!" And thus began Squall's I'm-going-to-kill-whoever-got-my-little-sister-pregnant mode as everyone looked on, amused to say the least. Squall was definitely going to castrate him now…
Emma sighed. "I feel left out."
"Tell me about it, everyone got together but us." Michael said.
"Ahem, I didn't get paired up with anyone." Kira said rolling his eyes as the two teens sulked around.
"Ya know, why don't you two hook up?" Kita suggested while stuffing her face with whatever her greedy hands could get.
Emma and Michael looked at each other, eyeing each other down. "No thanks, I can do better." They said together. "HEY! Stop saying what I'm saying!…you started it! Quit it!"
"I'll fucking kill you!" Emma shouted, breaking off the 'conversation' as she began to hunt her prey.
In your dearest memories
Do you remember loving me?
Was it fate that brought us close
And now leaves me behind?
Amon laughed, he genuinely laughed at his friends' silly antics. Robin looked up at him amazed, amusement glittering in her emerald eyes as everyone either got into a I'll-kill-you mode or a make-out frenzy. Kita and Kira slowly made their way towards the couple.
"Um, I'm sorry for everything I did to you Amon, you just pissed me off." Kira said nonchalantly, rubbing the back of his raven black hair.
Amon nodded, both men coming to an understanding. For some reason, Amon just couldn't be mad, he knew what the kid was going through and well, if Amon couldn't control himself during his own berserker moment then how could Kira?
Amon began to walk away, getting to some more quiet place where he can watch everything and everyone. His friends…were amusing. Friends, not just co-workers or brother or wife or sister-in-law but friends…
Amon's steel blue eyes slowly began to close as he drifted off into lala land.
Amon found himself in a dark place, Kira standing in front of him. "Finally." Was all that was said.
"Now will you tell me who you are?"
"Yeah, it doesn't really matter anymore. History's changed, I can't go back home now Amon, well, that Kira can't."
"What are you talking about?"
"I'm not the Kira you know, I'm a stronger, wiser, older one…his future self. Just wanted to give you warnings seeing as I don't I wanna exist."
"How could you not?" Amon questioned.
"Don't ask me, I'm just another pawn. It's you who sets up the pieces, Robin will knock them down and all that's left is me. I don't know how bad it is in that Kira's time, but in the timeline we're headed towards, it's chaotic. I don't want it, I'm too strong if I can see in other timelines, I don't deserve to exist."
Kira closed his eyes, on closer inspection, Amon's eyes widened. The necklace dangling from his neck. His eyes shot up to look into Kira's, it wasn't blue.
"I'm different than that other Kira Amon, I'm stronger. They are going to die. Wait, one's dead…and now…my sis-" The strange Kira stopped, then started up again, no emotion in his face, eyes or even his voice. "Kira's sister, she's dead now too." Kira said in a tone that chilled Amon to the bone.
"How can you say something like that?" He questioned, not understanding anything at all.
"You're not suppose to understand, but I think I'll spell it out for you." Time slowed, Kira's mouth moved, words echoed in Amon's mind yet Kira wasn't talking.
It was a distraction!
Kira was keeping him in this state of mind so they could die! His own sister! Tales of what was to come echoed, images of the horrid things that this Kira faced burned into Amon's mind until everything stopped, 'I'm…your…'
Amon's eyes widened, he was right, Kira wasn't his brother but his-
A voice from the past, joining yours and mine
Adding up the layers of harmony
And so it goes, on and on
Melodies of life,
To the sky beyond the flying birds--forever and beyond
Lenne, Karasuma, and Kita were walking along the sea coast.
"It's nice, we never got a chance to just talk like this." Kita said, sounding very much out of character to the other two.
"My my, someone sounds older." Karasuma teased.
"Lenne thinks that it is because Kita is a vampire, Kita is immature but has Kita's moments."
"Yep…hey! I'm not immature!" She pouted and folded her arms as the other two hunters laughed.
Without warning, Lenne's eyes widened, red soaked her dress as she slowly fell down, never feeling a thing.
Karasuma and Kita turned to see that Amon look-alike.
"Miss Karasuma, run!" Kita shouted to the immobile woman.
Kita's senses perked up, feeling a blade of wind brush past her and headed for Karasuma. That was how he killed Lenne. Without another thought, Kita used her body to shield Karasuma's.
The wind blades sliced her small body up, crimson blood splattered onto the white sands as Kira and the others got there too late.
Adam looked at his handiwork, frowning that he didn't get all his targets but happy nonetheless that he at least had one of them. He looked at the small vile that had the light witch's blood in it, smirking as he was engulfed in darkness, he left.
Kira dropped to his knees, cradling his sister as Robin covered her mouth with one hand, another touching her stomach where her twins laid, growing.
Squall stood shocked, unable to registered what had happened as a child's crying broke the silence of the night, knowing that her mother was dead.
If I should leave this lonely world behind
Your voice will still remember our melody
Now I know we'll carry on
Melodies of life
Come circle round and grow deep in our hearts
As long as we remember
The End
Robin: Hmm, will people find out who little Kira is?
Kira: Don't call me that please, I had enough of Kita calling me that as a kid.
Robin: Oh, that sounds…cute, so are you gonna stay or go to your home?
Kira: I dunno.
AOTD: Anyways, the sequel to this is coming out next year. Meanwhile, check out my other fics and my website for this story. I kinda planned for half of this to happen but I didn't know why I added an evil Kira, a dead Kita and well, I was planning on killing Lenne anyways, she's Tony's character.
Amon: Well, you working on a new story now?
AOTD: Yep yep, a few actually.
Amon: I thought you had to fix it since you changed the ages around.
AOTD:…don't go to my website yet, give me a few weeks until I can find a midi version of allay pain k?
Kira: What about me?
AOTD: And check out my newest story, Betrayal. It's a Nagira/Robin/Amon triangle. It follows the series until episode…15, Amon left with Robin. Amon got Robin pregnant, Amon breaks Robin's heart. Nagira is fond of Robin, Robin runs away, Nagira tails Robin, Amon looks for Robin after Nagira calls him to tell him Robin's missing. Sneaky Nagira.
Amon: So that's why you were calling me Amon-jerk? You made me do it!
AOTD: Lalala, sessha is not listening!
Amon: That's why Nagira's been on your talk shows huh?
Nagira: Hey, hope you enjoyed the last chapter to LTP2.
AOTD:…there's no chance that I'm going to hit the 150th mark is there? If there is I'll do another bloopers.
Author's note: Wow, wrote that a long time ago, just and time to upload it now. I'm so sorry but last month, when I was getting ready to upload it there was a fire, I had to go to the hospital for a week but more importantly it ruined my laptop and erased all my stories.
I know it's no excuse but still! I'm just happy that Tommy stole a few of my files. That last chapter was unedited too, I didn't load it, he did. I can't remember half of what I was gonna do so I just wrote whatever I could remember I added in. I didn't want to change a thing.
BTW, after I'm done with Searching, I'm moving to another site. I was gonna move after this fic but then I changed my mind. ; Hehe, there's more people at ffdotnet than at fictionised so please join fictionised too.
Thanks to all my reviewers, readers and my beta readers. I just…remember who…
Da Squeakz: Hmm, I think that if you write Michael Robin, I'll check it out too. And sorry it took so long, like I said before; I was in a fire though it was no excuse. It was just that I lost the final copy of all my stories so I had the rough draft and rough drafts suck, like last chapter. Last chapter was from two months ago, this is from…two months ago too.
fightingcomet: No, I didn't use drugs when I wrote the chapter, drugs are bad. It was why I was in the hospital a few weeks ago. Evil sleeping pills! DIE:flushes sleeping pills down the towels only to have it clog: O.O I didn't do it:runs away:
Beautiful Witch Hunter Robin: Wow, it sounds really tough. School getting harder every year and my new kitten ruined my chances of getting into APChem, named her Butterfly after she ate my science fair which was about butterflies. And it's ok, I understand! I had a job, key word, HAD. Lol, friends are evil. They got me fired. And don't worry, Amon and Robin will live in all of my stories minus my one-shots, it's a promise!
Megan Consoer: Well, here's a new chapter! And note that this is the last chapter and if I have time, I'll do the sequel though it'll take a long time.
Yunie: You're online as I type this, do I have to say anything more?
Little Karma: Thank you!
inuwitch: At least someone does!
Meeko Melodie: I'm sorry! There was a sequel and a prequel. Any guesses as to what Kira's relationship to Amon is yet? It'll take me forever to get the next story up so I'll do it after For You and the Alone series are done. BTW, you should begin posting your stories at more sites. It's what I'm doing.
manga girl234: Hehe, I could never kill Amon! Ok, that was a flat out lie but…Amon's alive! And I promised I wouldn't kill Amon or Robin anymore…for fics, not one-shots. MUHAHAHAHA!
There were more credits but I'll put them up later. Don't forget to check out Searching! It's the sequel to Alone and the last chapter of Alone was a fake chapter, I'd never kill Amon and Robin…:crosses fingers:
