Chapter 9

Kyo was mad. And she felt untrustworthy too. Amon had never shown her what he looked like under his mask ever. (Not that she had ever asked, but that wasn't important.) The idea that it was necessary for him to hide his face never occurred to Kyo though. Her ego wouldn't let that through.

So now here she was, ignoring that normally masked man. The woman sat on her bed pretending to read a book, trying to completely ignore the fact that someone was now knocking on the door, asking if she was ok and sounding slightly panicked. Kyo hoped he panicked himself to death. Then the noise stopped.

The thief looked up from the book and stared towards the door. It seemed like he had given up… Quietly she got up and crept the door and dropped to her stomach. Looking under the door she saw that there was no one there. Good.

Kyo sat up and smiled, feeling quite happy for herself. But that didn't last long, and all she had to say was damn the bedroom window.

"Your are so difficult." A familiar voice spoke from behind her. The woman turned and looked up at Amon's mask. She couldn't help but shoot a dirty look up at him. She quickly changed it back to a blank expression though.

"I don't know what you're talking about." The woman stated, standing up and then flopping on to her back on the couch. Kyo picked up the book and started flipping through it again.

Amon rolled his eyes and took the book out of her hands and looked at the cover. "One hundred ways to cook a turtle seal." Under his mask he raised his eye brows slightly as he read it. "I didn't know you liked cooking turtle seals."

Kyo snorted and crossed her arms. She didn't know what was under that mask of his. So they were even. And she didn't like cooking them! No, she liked eating them and that was that. "What do you want?" The woman asked coldly, while staring up at the ceiling. Kyo refused to look at the man.

"What are you being upset about?" Amon didn't exactly know that she was being mad at him over his mask. But in Kyo's mind, he should already know by himself! So if he was going to ask stupid questions like that, then she just wasn't going to answer them truthfully. Because guess what? She could lie to! The thief assumed that hiding under a mask like that and not showing anyone what he looked like, not even the people that he claimed to love, had to be some sort of lie. Although… he had never actually said 'I love you' to her. Maybe he didn't! And he really was using her just to get to the Avatar. What an evil man bitch…

"I'm not upset. I'm never upset." Kyo continued to glare up at the ceiling. Amon stared down at her, feeling somewhat annoyed. She definitely sounded upset. And the way that woman was glaring up at the ceiling like that…

"Kyo…" The masked man crouched down beside the couch so he was just a little over level with her. "Look at me." He spoke in a strict, but at the same time, gentle tone of voice. Kyo refused to do that though. She just laid there with her arms crossed, staring upwards. "Seriously, look at me." He spoke in a sharper tone. Sending an annoyed look her way. Kyo gave an annoyed and childish huff before slowly turning her head to look at him. This caused Amon to roll his eyes again. One of these days they were just going to roll out of his head completely if he stayed with this woman, weren't they? "What in the hell is the matter?"

Kyo scowled. "I just said that there was nothing wrong!" She snapped, her voice seemed to sound like it was against her protest. "…And wouldn't this be considered breaking an entry?" After all, he had snuck in through her window. She really didn't appreciate that. Well, not at this exact moment anyways.

"Well obviously there is something wrong, judging from how your acting at this moment." He snapped right back. Amon was beginning to feel quite irritated by this. The man ignored the last question she asked. Well, not really ignored it… he supposed that she had a point there, but that was besides the current matter.

"Well then, the obvious is quite wrong!" She sat up properly and never stopped glaring at the man.

"Then why, may I ask, are you getting upset over me asking why your upset?"

"I'm not upset, I'm never upset!" Kyo shouted.

"Yes you are."

"No I'm not!"

"Is it that time of the month?" It was suddenly silent. Amon had managed to say that so easily. Most guys got all embarrassed, but not Amon. He just spit it out like that! Kyo felt her face heat up dangerously and she sent a murderous look towards him,

"NO! IT'S NOT! WHY WOULD YOU EVEN ASK SOMETHING LIKE THAT?" Was he really some sort of blood thirsty pervert? That idea made Kyo uneasy and slightly sick.

"Then just tell me what's wrong! Are you being threatened? Is it the Agni Kai triad? What?" The man insisted, sitting beside her. But being Kyo, she scooted right to the other end of the couch. Amon had an urge to roll his eyes again at her childish actions, but this time he didn't. And this time she finally gave him somewhat of an answer.

"You." Kyo spoke bluntly, letting her long black bangs fall in over her face, as she stared down at her lap. The response sort of surprised Amon. That wasn't the answer he had been expecting.

"…Me?" Was it because of him coming in through the window all the time? Well, she should know that he did try to come in through the door! That woman just never answered when he did try. And she kept it locked too. "Why…?" He was also suddenly feeling rather awkward. And he could see why she had moved down.

"Because. You don't trust me. Do you?" The masked man was suddenly confused. Where did that come from?

"Now I don't know what you're talking about?" Amon stated, leaning back against the arm and back of the couch and looking at Kyo.

The woman gave an irritated sigh at that. "You're mask! Why don't you show me what's behind it?" She asked in an equally irritated voice. That surprised him too… He looked away from the thief and stared at the wall across from him. He wanted to, but he almost wasn't sure if he should. What would happen if he did? A sudden shameful thought passed through the man's mind. What if he did, and Kyo and the Avatar found a way to use that against him? Then all his plans would be ruined… After all they where sisters. But from what Amon could tell, Kyo most definitely did not like her sister, by any means. If Korra was brought up when Kyo was around, he could hear her walk around grumbling about, 'the stupid brat' or 'that little bitch' and lots of other things he had never quite caught.

"Well… You never asked to look." Amon told her. And it was quite true. The woman had never thought of just asking…

Kyo stared at him, with a slightly annoyed expression now on her face. She wasn't quite sure what to say, and she wasn't sure if she wanted to say anything at all. So all she did was sit there and stare at him with the same expression on her face.

Amon had supposed that, that had answered her question quite well then. He could feel her eyes on him and from the way she was looking at him, it almost made the man feel uncomfortable. Looking up at the clock on the wall, Amon was sort of surprised at the time. He had to go.

"Kyo, I have to go now." He stood up and started walking towards the door. He felt her eyes follow him as he did.

"What? You're not going to go out the window this time?" She spoke humorously. It didn't sound like she was mad anymore. And he really hoped that she wasn't. As much as he loved Kyo, the woman could be extremely difficult when she was in that sort of state. Thank goodness she didn't have split personalities. That would be horrible! At least he really hoped she didn't. Some times Kyo acted like it.

Amon looked over his shoulder slightly and smirked under his mask. "I could… But not without a souvenir." He spoke suggestively. Kyo sent him an odd look.

"I would rather my underwear stayed were it was, thank you. The door it is." She decided with a nod, still remaining in her spot. Hey, she had never invited him to come here, so she didn't have to be at the door, kissing him and saying goodbyes and shutting it behind him, did she? Well Kyo didn't think so.

The door shut, and the woman flopped back down on to her back. Now what was she going to do? There was no Amon to be mad at right now…

What was to happen later that day though, made Kyo really wish she had kissed him goodbye and all that stuff. You see, Amon had gone to another one of those rallies, and this one was going to be the last one.

I know that this chapter was supposed to be long! I'm sorry it isn't… but at least I got one up right?
