Replacement

"Zaizen sir?" A small man apporched a small room inside an een smaller office. "What is it now Hattori?" An old man with grey hair looked up from his computer. "Well sir, the replacement is here." Hattori stated. The man by the name of Zaizen leaned back in his chair. A smile grazed his face slightly. "WITCH!" Was heard from the main froom of the office. "Hattori, see to it that the replacement is introduced to her partner ASAP. i want her to get some first hand experiance today." Zaizen smiled. "Yess sir, but who is her partner?" Hattori asked as a rush of people ran by the room door. "Amon! come here!" Zaizen called loudly as a young man in his early 20's, dreassed all in black with messy black hair steped into the room. "Yess sir?" Amon spoke. "Hattori here is going to show you to your new partner. She will be Kate's replacement. Is that understood. I can't go around having my hunters killed becuase tey are working alone. Understood?" Zaizen seemed to glare at amon. "Yes sir." Amon replied. "God, Hattori, see to it that Amon is introduced to his partnet and amon, she'll be joining you on this misson." Zaizen spun his chair around and he faced the window. "Yes sir." Both Hattori and amon said as they left the room. On the way out the door, Amon turned and looked at a blond boy sitting at a computer. "Give me as much information on this new one as possible." Amon said coldly as she followed Hattori out the door. "I'm on it Amon!" The boy replied as he threw a donut into his mouth and began typing away.
Downstairs, Kosaka was taking to Robin and telling her the best place to get coffee - or in Robin's case - esspresso. "It's right across the street. The owner's name is Master Hary. Everyone who works here goes there. It's a very small diner. Very personal one-on-one service." Kosaka smiled. Robin smiled back. She had quickly picked up a liking for Kosaka. He was very sweet and kind to her right from the start. "Kosaka? What exactly is my job here at STN-J?" Robin asked curosly. "Well, your a hunter. They all all. Well, except for Lee who is the computer technical personal." Kosaka said, then took a swig of coffee. "What exactly do we 'hunt'?" Robin cocked her head slightly to the left. "Well... witches," Kosaka started, but when he noticed the look on Robin's face, he explained. "Only bad ones. Well not bad per say. Just the ones whoes powers are out of control and are a danger to the public. It's totaly leagal operations. We are, I guess you could say, part of the government. Only, we are our own branch of government, powered by Solomon's rule." Kosaka put down his cup and smiled. Robin's look of mixed emotion caued Kosaka to cut his little lesson short and dirrect her to a new teacher. "Don't worry. I'm sure Zaizen will be able to explain things more clearly to you. He'll explain all the tactics, weapons, protection and all that technial stuff." Robin smiled. "Not to be rude or anything, but you look very young to be joing the STN-J hunters team." Kosaka comented. "Oh, I'm only eighteen. I was recruted by Solomon himself. He knows my granffath, Father Julliano from Italy." Robin smiled and played with her necklace which hung low on her chest. "Wow! Still a child. Your the youngest to walk through these doors and be given the title hunter,.. Robin-chan." Kosaka smiled and so did Robin. She liked her new nickname. Her old nickname, Robbie Ro, brought up too many memories of home.
"Kosaka! Where is he?" Amon's voice could be heard from the stairwell. "SHE is in here Amon, I take it your her partner?" Kosaka asked as Amon came out of the stairway into view, soon followed by an out of breath Hattori. "Learn to walk faster Hattori." Amon growed as Hattori walked passed Amon and over to Robin, who he just met only minutes ago. "Amon. Robin. Robin. Amon." Hattori said between breaths as he pointed to Amon, then Robin, then back to Amon. Robin just stared at Hattori for a moment wondering if he was going to be alright. Hattori must have felt her concerned stare and he smiled and said "I'm alright, just alittle winded," and he tryed a smile. A motocycle and a couple cars peeled out infront of the building as Robin was being introduced to her partner. "Well, there goes Sakaki, Dojima and Karasuma. To think, dojima was on time today." Kosaka said with a small smile as Amon glared at him from the corner of his bark eyes. "Fine! Lets go. Your comming with me. Zaizen's orders." Amon pointed at Robin and her headed to the door, pulling his keys out of his long black trench coat pocket. "Now? Amon she just got here." Kosaka pleded. "Not my choice. Take it out with Zaizen. Let's go Robin!" Amon unlocked his black Toyota and started the engine. "Just leave your bag here, I'll keep it behind the desk. Good luck. You'll need it." Kosaka tried to smile for Robin's sake. "It was nice meeting you." Hattori said, still out of breath. "Lets go!" Amon's voice was heard from outside as Robin dashed out the door and into Amon's car.
The ride the hunt was long. Robin stayed quiet. Usually she was the one to start conversations, or at lest introduce herself to people, but there was something about Amon that made her keep quiet. "Hey." Amon started seven minutes into the drive. His eyes never once left the road, both hands were always on the wheel, and lips bearly moving. "Don't know what Chief Kosaka said, but this is what we at the STN-J call a hunt. We work as a team. We find the witch, tell the others, then take the witch down. We can't risk any mistaks. This is a kill or be killed job. We fight using guns that have a special bullet called Orbo. Orbo is also used as a pendent to protect us should a witch try to use its powers on us. Zaizen will get into that when we return." Amon shis car go faster until the motorcycle and two other cars were in sight. Robin sat very still, she bit her lip and kept her hands folded in her lap, not once looking over at him. "Zaizen is the head of our STN-J branch. He gives the orders, and you obay. On the feild, and whenever it comes to hunts, you'll be obaying me. If you have anything to say, better make it quick, we're almost there." Amon finished as he took a very sharp 90 degree right hand turn. Only a few miles up, the motorcycle and two cars could be seen pulling over to the side of the road in front of an old building and the passangers were all getting out. "Um...I don't think I'll be needing a gun or orbo pendent for protection..." Robin took her chances with fate and finally said something. Amon stopped his car right behind the motorcycle and started to get out.
"What do you mean, you wont need them. We all need them." Amon said coldly as he pulld out his gun and headed for the others who were waiing the the outside building wall. "Like I said, I don't believe I'll need them, I have, I guess you could say, my own form of protetion and 'fire power'." Robin said with a slight smirk. Amon just glared at her as a voice started talking in the four hunter's ear pieces. "Michael repeat that, once more. I didn't catch it the first time." A blond girl said as she leaned on the wall and looked at her nails. "I SAID... HER NAME IS ROBIN SENA AND SHE IS A CRAFT USER WHO CAN CONTROL AND CREATE FIRE! SHE IS ONLY EIGHTEEN YEARS OLD WHICH MEANS SHE IS UNEXPERIENCED!" The voice yelled again. This time, Robin could make out the words. The four turned to look at her, causing her cheaks to blush. "Great, the replacement is a rookie." A boy with short messy brown hair stated as he lowered his gun and leaned against the wall next to the blonde girl. "Not just any rookie, a rookie who is still a child and can play with fire on her own free will." A woman with short dark brown hair stated. Robin felt really low. She really wanted to go home right then and there. At first, she thought Amon was being mean, but when she met the others, she just wanted to cry, which would probably stop them from calling her a child, but call her a baby.
"Zaizen orders her to tag along. She's Kate's replacement." Amon pipe in, which didn't help Robin's situation. "I take it that means your stuck with her?" The brown haired boy asked. "Good luck Amon, that means your gonna be in charge of all the training and stuff like that...I guess." The blonde girl stated. Robin felt three inches tall. She was standing right there and they continued to harass her. How much she wished Kat, Val and Mikey were there.
"Lets go, we have a witch to hunt!" Amon said as he pointed the others to head in first, it was his responsibility to watch the 'rookie'. "Why do we have to hunt the witches?" Robin asked quietly to Amon. "Because all witches must die." Was the only response she got from him. Then, they all entered the building, which was an old warehouse full of boxes and some sand on the floor.
"Stick close, you'll be safer and less likey to be kiled." Amon spoke coldly as he raised his gun and entered the building. They all ran into the building. The boy with brown hair entered first and steped into the sand spred on the floor. Robin watched as the others followed suit, only no one else steped in the sand. As Amon ran ahead, Robin stoped to investigat the sand. There on the floor was a circle of sand with wicca patterns drawn. Robin steped around it and continued. "If only they knew what this 'rookie's' knowledge was." She thought to herself then ran after Amon.
