Amon

So many things have happened in the space of so little time.

I am to be Adam. I don't even know of such things, yet....

My powers have awakened. The thing I have feared most since childhood has come true. And it had felt wonderful, but now that I am faced with the aftermath of it, I am afraid.

I have watched my mother lose her sanity to her powers. I have watched my mother being taken away because of her powers. And now, will her fate fall upon me too?

There are so many questions I have unanswered.

I have become what I have learned to hate. The fates are cruel.


Morning came and it found Amon and Robin asleep together in the bed. If someone were to watch from the edge of the bed, they would notice that Amon's arms were wrapped around Robin ever so protectively. And if someone would try to wrench his arms away from her, he would have held her even more close to him. How sweet.

Robin woke up to find herself wrapped in Amon's arms. She stilled herself, listening to his breathing. He was still asleep. It was probably wrong to take advantage of this but she laid there, thinking of the past events and reveling in his arms. She could definitely get used to this. She smiled slightly at the thought.

Things will be more complicated than ever now, she thought. Now that Amon's powers were slowly awakening, and the rest of hers were to awaken soon, they would have to be even more careful now. And what of Amon? He hates witches, and now that he has become one of us... Robin's eyes saddened.

She had long accepted the fact that though to STN-J there was a difference between witches and Craft users, there was no difference. No matter what they did, witches were witches.

She would have to help Amon. He was new to this world. He had always been on the other side of the world. Maybe borderline, but he had never experienced the life of a witch... at least not yet.

She felt Amon stir. She smiled to herself. But for the time being.... I will make the best of it.

Amon woke up and found himself holding onto Robin. He felt her turn around to face him and found himself staring into her deep, intense eyes.

"Good morning... Amon." Amon didn't respond. He just stared into her eyes. And once again, he was lost.


"I am so bored! I can't believe the Chief won't let us leave! It's so not fair. And he leaves. I bet he's somewhere having more fun they we are," Doujima complained.

The Chief had banned the whole gang from leaving the building until a) they find a witch b) work time was over.

Doujima sighed. "MICHAEL! ARE YOU SURE YOU FOUND A WITCH!" she yelled, half in frustration and half so that Michael could hear her through his head phones.

"For the hundredth time, no I haven't. It's like they all disappeared or something." Michael replied, calm as ever. Inside though, he was frustrated. It was all the Chief's fault! If he hadn't banned everyone from leaving, then him and Sakaki would've been able to play another couple of rounds of Go Fish... He sighed. Then an idea struck him.

He swivelled his chair around to face everyone.

"Hey, I got an idea. How about we play strip poker..." he suggested.

Everyone stared at him.

"Ok. Ok. I get the point, no. Um... Crazy Eights?" Everyone continued to stare at the young hacker.

"Um... Fine! LET'S JUST PLAY GO FISH!" he shouted in frustration. Everyone looked at him.

Finally Sakaki broke through the silence that had reigned temporarily.

"Take out the cards Michael. I'm gonna kick your butt!"

Michael mumbled. He took out the deck of cards that he had kept hidden under a pile of files. Sakaki cleared off the table and everyone gathered around. He dealt.


While everyone back at STN-J were going through their whole cards ordeal, Robin and Amon had gotten up, done whatever they do at morning and were in the middle of eating breakfast. And for the first time ever, they were eating breakfast together.

Robin wanted to approach the matter of their powers, but she didn't know how to begin. Finally she sighed and just approached it directly.

"Amon, what are we going to do with your powers? And mine.... Not all of mine have awakened yet," she said. She glanced into the his eyes and as soon as she mentioned about his powers, she saw the slight hint of fear in them. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't have been able to see it, but Robin saw it.

"Amon... Please.... Do not be afraid," she whispered to him, worry in her eyes.

"I'm not," he lied.

Robin shook her head. "I can see it in your eyes. It's almost invisible, but I can see it."

Amon did not know what to say. What should you say to a person you care so much about? A person who could read your every emotion easily? The answer was you don't say anything. At least, when you're Amon.

Robin smiled slightly at his response, or rather, his lack of response. He sighed. Finally he replied.

"We do not tell STN-J. We do not tell Zaizen." Amon's memories headed back to the time where they had just finished capturing the witch who had a similar power to Robin's, the manipulation of fire. He remembered talking to Zaizen after. Your emotions are interfering... Amon remembered Zaizen telling him when Amon had told him that he had come up with nothing that there were no connections between the witch and Robin.

No, it would not be wise to tell Zaizen. Amon cleared his head of his memories, locking them back from where they had escaped. It would not help that his once hidden emotions were starting to resurface whenever he was around Robin.

Ever since Robin had came to STN-J, things for him had changed so much. Where he would once never hesitate to tell anything to Zaizen, he would now hold information from Zaizen where it concerned his little birdie.

"You're afraid of losing control of your powers, aren't you?" Robin asked gently. "The Eve... I... You won't lose control. I won't let you. I will help you. If you let me." Her eyes showed concern, love and determination.

"And what if you loose control of your powers," Amon asked.

"I won't." Amon was surprised somewhat at the fierceness in her voice. "I promise you, I won't lose control."

She got up and began clearing away the dishes. Amon got up to help her.

When she was finished washing the dishes she turned to face him. She cradled his hand against her face.

"Please Amon.... Trust me. Let me help you. Do not be afraid.... I love you." Robin's heart thudded as she said the last three words. It was the first time she had ever said them to anyone and now.... She was afraid of his response.

Amon took his hand back and turned away from her.

"Don't say that. Don't give you heart away so easily. I could betray you and then you would end up being hunted." Amon sounded so cold hearted, his voice, chilling.

Robin froze. Her heart was pounding so loud she was sure the whole world could hear it. Her eyes showed sorrow.

She walked up to him and wrapped her arms around him, laying her head against his back. He tensed.

"I will say it, because I mean it. And I cannot help but give my heart away to you. You have had it since the beginning. If you were to betray me, then so be it. It will not change my feelings for you. But you will not betray me, because I trust in you."

Amon decided to toss caution into the wind. He relaxed. He took the hand that held him lovingly and kissed it.

"Then so be it.... And I...." Amon didn't know if he could say those three words. It did not come easy to him.

"Shh... I know already... And I understand. You do not have to say it until you are ready but I know..."

Amon felt his heart warm up. Things were changing rapidly. He knew. But somehow, it didn't seem as bad as he once imagined it to be. It was all because of Robin. And if you were to look into his eyes right then, you would be surprised to see the love he had in them. He, himself would've been surprised.


Ah! Another chapter! I'm very sorry for the long wait, but I simply had to work on my sites which I had neglected on.

If you want to see what I've been working on, when I would've been working on this fanfic, here are the links (just remove the spaces):

I'm pretty sure you guys will like the layout I have on the Simply Me site (hint: it's a Witch Hunter Robin layout!)

Some of you were wondering what my DeviantArt account was. It's Silver-Cat18.

Please tell me which couples you prefer: Doujima/Sakaki and Michael/Karasuma or Karasuma/Sakaki and Doujima/Michael.

P.S. I hope you guys liked this chapter. There's a bit of fluff in it. It's so hard to do fluff with Amon and Robin. And one more thing. Please don't suggest to me what to do considering what happens in the story. If so, you might as well right a story yourself. I'm not trying to be mean or rude or anything with all my "rules", but I have my limits. Hope you guys understand.



Wow! Thanks every body for over 100 reviews! I love you guys!

Yuna of Paradise: Yes, I love cats! Kittens are even better.

Vanyaer: Being Canadian rocks, doesn't it?

Tigress Berry: Glad you like it. I like your name, by the way.

Koharu-Soma: Yes, it is a shame isn't it? But still, I have so much to do and school isn't exactly helping. Evil teachers.

Shimya: Glad you "wuv" it. LOL.

Tvsweetie: LOL. Now you know what happens. I hope you like it.

Amon's Angel of the Darkness: Yeah, you did a good job of following the rules. Thanks. I do have a habit of using a lot of had, have, etc. I planned on letting Amon have lots of powers.... Though not as many as Robin.

WitchMaeve: You're right.

Meeko Melodie: I believe I will take my time. LOL. I mean, after all, I am supposed to produce good quality work, right?

Seashah: I do try to do my best to keep it balanced and stuff. As for cliffhangers, I'm sure there will be more in the future. LOL. (Insert crazy laughter)

Escawing: I try to keep the story realistic as much as possible. After all, how many people do you know just jump into big hugs of happiness and joy when they find out good news and yaddy yaddy ya?

Amon's Angel: Wow. I'm so flattered.

Hunter-Robin: Does this satisfy you?

MysticFan86: Glad you like it.

Casper-II: It seems like a lot of my readers are Canadian. Cool.

FayeFayeRox11: I suppose I did make Robin a little OOC. But I'm glad you like the story for your first A/R fic.

AnimeFreaks13: I guess you sort of misread or didn't get what I mean. Yes, reviews are supposed to help me and stuff, but I don't want people telling me that I should've put this or that concerning the plot and stuff. I'm sorry, but I can't really explain.

MournfulAria: I'm glad you think that way, though truthfully, I believe there aren't enough WHR fanfics to compare to. There aren't nearly enough WHR fanfics to satisfy me. That's one of the reasons why I decided to write one.

NoName: Silver-Cat18

Brokenandfallen: Why don't your write a story yourself? Then you wouldn't have to suggest. God knows we need more WHR fanfics.

Sakura Blossom-Cilla-85:P: I haven't quite decided on his powers. I suppose it will have to be whatever suits the story. That will have to be for me to decide.

Ami4: Yes.

RNA Sun: I'm glad you like the story. Me, I like Amon and Robin pairings. I like being able to communicate with my writers somehow, but sometimes it's hard to answer my reviewers when they only tell me the same thing. Sometimes I have nothing to say, but I try my best to say something anyway. But then my reviewers list gets really long and then it might end up longer than the story, and I worry about that.

Kyra Invictus Black: LOL. I'm glad you like the kitty dream. The whole kitty dream thing was a spur of the moment type of thing.

Vincent/Tifa Fan 13: Thanks for adding it to your favourites.

Sakura-chan79: That's what I thought. Only Inuyasha and WHR? You don't watch Gundam Seed? I like Gundam Seed, considering the fact that it's a mech anime.

Yami1: Thanks for liking it.

Goingcrazynotknowing: I will update when I have a chapter finished.

Black Mistress: I like your name. By the way, I think your DA account name never showed up.
