Amon was waiting at his table, his fourth smoke burning away in his hand. He looked at the clock and saw it was forty five minutes since his brother had phoned, and he was not here yet.
“ Half hour my ass!!” He commented to the stillness, taking a drag off his smoke and letting a plume of smoke go to the ceiling.

A knock came at his apartment door. By the hard rapping, he could tell that his brother had arrived finally. He put out the cigarette and stood up. Smoothly, he moved towards the door to answer it. Many things he wanted to say to Nagira flew around in his head, some of which were an attack on Nagira’s manhood.

The hunter opened the door, and there his brother stood there plain as day. With his slicked back black hair and the long fur coat he loved so much to wear, the man had not changed any since he had last saw him.
“Amon...” He said, grinning without dropping the cigarette he had balanced in his lips. “ I have arrived, and close to on time, no thanks to the traffic out there.”
“ Enough of your pompousness... just get on with why the hell you’re here...” Said Amon, his words dropping hard on the side of irritated.
“ Easy there, brother...” Smiled the man, taking the smoke out of his mouth and holding it between the fingers on his right hand. “ I have brought you something. A present, I would have to say.”
“ Brought me something?” Echoed the hunter with a look of suspicion crossing his broad face. “ What ever it is, I am sure that I would not be interested in it anyhow.”

Nagira just shook his head and broke a grin, as the younger man stood there with defiance in his face.
“Little brother.. This just might be what your looking for.” He grinned a split assed smile.

Amon watched the man that was his half brother, as he smoothly moved to one side. A figure stepped out from the other side of the door frame smoothly. Amon turned to see just who his brother had dragged to him now, knowing his pretension for the dramatics. Who he saw, froze him to the spot.

The figure was dressed in black, and the hair was droopy, hanging down around the face like a curtain of blond, out of her distinctive styling. The bold green eyes were the last thing Amon saw looked at. There she was...Robin, standing before him, dusty and disheveled and assuredly alive.
“ R...Robin?” He said, his heart racing in his chest.

The young crafter stared at the tall man in front of her, not speaking a word. Her hands were folded in front of her, her big green eyes holding back tears that were just waiting to burst forth in a fury. For long moments, they just stood looking at one another.

The girl suddenly rushed inside the door, her arms flying open and surrounding Amon’s large chest while smothering her face into him.
“ Amon...” She half sobbed into his chest as she hugged the man with all of her might. “ Amon...”

The tall hunter stood there for a moment, then he folded his arms around the smaller form, reveling in the simple pleasure of having her against him. He fought back his own flood of emotions, for he did not know quite how to expose them.
“ Robin...” He whispered, as he hugged her firmly against himself.

Nagira just watched the reunion with a smile that was broader than any he had flashed before. He just took it all in silently, not wanting to intrude on the moment in any way, opting to just drink all of it in. He just would simply wait, being content to puff away on his smoke in the meantime.

The two broke their embrace and looked at one another.
“ How.... where??” Stammered Amon, finding himself at a complete loss for words “ Your alive!!!” He finally got out.
“ It’s a long story, Amon...” Said the girl, her stare locking in to the man’s dark orbs.
“ How long has Nagira hid you?” He asked, his suspicions were there.

The thinner of the two brother chuckled and stood up straighter... knowing that it was his turn to interject himself in this.
“ I did not know she was alive either... until a few hours ago.” Said Nagira, coming in to answer the question that he felt should have been directed at him.
“ A few hours ago?” Asked Amon, his face looking straight at his brother. “ She showed up at my law office today, right after I had been finished with a late meeting with a client. I nearly fell over when she walked in, and I saw her standing there.”

Amon looked at his brother, and could feel that what he had said was the truth. He nodded to the man. Nagira nodded and took his smoke out of his mouth once more.
“ Told you I brought you something you wanted.” He said, his face beaming, as he closed the door of the small apartment.

The three made their way in to the front room, and sat down in the couch just near the balcony doors. Amon stayed close to the girl, his emotions were catapulting every which way inside of him. He could not believe that she was right there, with him. A long moment of silence ruled for the moment.

The dark haired hunter kept his eyes on Robin, as a curious look crossed his face.
“ I would like to hear your story here, Robin...” He said, his tone suddenly flattening. “ Judging from Nagira’s smile, I am guessing that you have told him it already.”
The girl turned on the couch, to look straight into Amon’s face. Her own features were almost blank, yet not quite. She folded her hands in to her lap, but never once did her gaze leave Amon’s eyes.
“ I will start from that day when the Factory fell...” She said, not even hesitating one bit. “ We were trying to escape the factory, I remember you running beside me. There was a huge explosion, and I don’t remember anything else from then.” She paused. “ I must have been thrown completely out of the building, for I awoke to find myself in a bed in a strange place far from the factory.”
“ Strange place?” Asked Amon.

The girl continued, her eyes holding him captive in it’s sea of green.
“ I awoke some time later, and I felt myself in pain... pain like I have never had felt before. A older woman was tending to me, as I layed there with bandages around my chest, arms and legs. She said her name was Tiki, and that I had already been there for over three weeks.”
“ Three weeks?” Amon said, surprised.
“ She said that someone had brought me to her for protecting, and to have a chance to heal. She took me in and did just that, but never told me who had brought me to her... or why.” She suddenly seemed to be sad. “ Three months soon passed, and I had all but healed, but did not know just what I should do next, when the man in the purple suit showed up out of no where, saying that he was there to kill me. He killed Toko, and I barely escaped with my life when the gas heater in the house of Tiki’s exploded.”
“ Purple suit? The man at the library... You were at the scene weren’t you?” Pieced together Amon
“ Yes, I was there....” She whispered, with a shy smile.
“ How did you get to being hunted by this man?”

Robin just looked at Amon, her head was shaking a little, noting that she did not have that answer.
“ When I ran, I found that I had been out in the country, on a farm. I hitched a ride with a nice gentleman, and that man brought me in to Tokyo.” She just wet her lips, as she began to shake a little as she relived everything. “ I was scared, and I thought it was the STN... or SOLOMON that had sent that witch after me.. All that I knew is that this man was out to kill me, which he had informed me in our first encounter.”
“ What did you do then, once you were in town again? Asked Amon. “ You could have called me for help.”
“ I just made my way to hide from this man that was trying to kill me, by being a nanny to different families that needed me for temporary work.” She looked at the man, her green eyes held tears in them. “ I thought about you every day, and wished that you had not died in the Factory so you could help me...” She had tears finally break from the eyes, to stream down her delicate cheek. “ I thought you were dead, and the others in the STN might have been after me.”

Amon just sat back, as the information was overwhelming him.
“ You were being a nanny when I saw you in the park...” He commented, then asked. “ Did you see me?’
“ I did see you, and I was scared that you were not only alive, but hunting me.” She whispered. When we lost you on the highway, I was relived, and sad for that.
“ I am not hunting you...” Assured Amon
“ I know that know... but I thought that earlier and that is why I got scared a little... I thought it was true that the STN was after me for bringing down the factory.”
“ We all in this room were involved in bringing down Zaizen and the factory...” Commented Amon. “ WE brought down Zaizen and the factory down together. Things are different in both the STN and SOLOMON.”
“ I still thought that you were ordered too kill me.” Solemnly said the girl, showing that she was embarrassed the she had thought like that. “ I was dropped off near my apartment I rent by the family I was working for today to get some supper from a local place, and the purple man was there waiting nearby for me. I did not know how he found me again, so I just ran behind the library and you know what happen next.”

Amon nodded, for he knew that. He nearly had watched the man in purple kill her, and he did not know it was her. Amon thought for a moment, before speaking again.
“Why did you run to Nagira then?”
“ I was scared, but I realized that I just might be able to trust him.. Because he was with neither the STN or SOLOMON.” Bluntly responded Robin, her eyes wide with fear. “ He the one that suggested I come right to you, and you would help me.”

Amon looked at his brother, knowing that the man’s heart was always in the right place with whatever he did. Nagira just stood up then and smiled. Amon stood too and looked at his older half brother.
“ I have to go, brother.” He said. “ You two can go on from here without me.” He snickered. “ If ya need me any more... call.”

Nagira walked quickly to the door. He paused to wave back at the others back in the front room, then opened the door. Quickly, he slipped out and closed the door behind himself, while whistling a very odd tune..

Amon sat back down and looked at the young girl. His heart was beating hard in his chest, but the time was not right to tell her how he had been feeling to her, or what he had found out about the Witch in purple.
“ You look exhausted.” He commented, holding his feelings in check.
“ I am.” She replied, her eyes sparkling like emeralds despite how heavy her lids looked like. I have not slept well in awhile..

The man stood up and motioned over to a door.
“ You can have my room to sleep in.” He said, smiling. “ I will sleep out here, on the couch.”
“ I would not want to impose on...” She said, politely.
“ There is no discussion on it!” Said the man sternly, not letting her finish her sentence. “ Just go.. We can talk more once you are rested..”
Robin stood up and give the man a hug. She was surprised that he did not reciprocate like he had earlier when she had arrived. She looked up, and saw his face had gone back to stone like he usually did. She just let him go, and moved silently to the door of the bedroom.

Amon watched the girl enter the room, until she closed the door. He rubbed his chin, as he fought off the emotions that were in him. When she had hugged him, he wanted to just scoop her up in his arms, kiss her and just tell her how much he felt for her. He then shook his head.
“ She’s only sixteen!!” He reminded himself, but that had little effect on his feelings.

He reminded himself that he would be her protector still, the very thing he had told her he would do back in Zaizen’s office. He just fought off all of the other urges he had and sat down. Turning on the television, he just flipped thought the channels vacantly, forcing all of his thoughts to leave his mind.

One hour later, Amon found himself ready to get a little sleep. With nothing on at this hour, that was all he was wanting. He stood up and went over to the door of his bedroom, wanting to check on Robin before he went to grab some sleep of his own. He opened the door quietly, just going to look in, and then go off to sleep.

In the dim moonlight that was streaming from the window, he could see Robin’s form on the bed. She seemed to be sleeping very peacefully, as he could heard her slow rhythmic breathing from where she slept. The girl was on her back, her ashen blond hair was faired out on to the pillow under her. She looked so peaceful in sleep, that he could not help but smile

He suddenly felt a rush of heat come over him, as he then noticed that the blankets on the bed were pushed down to her belly, and exposed her naked form which was also bathed in the light. Her ivory skin was smooth and perfect, Her small but rounded mounds of her breasts were a sight to see. The girl’s breasts were not large by any standards, but they were rounded and full as they rose and fell with each breath, the nipple hardened by the coolness of the room.

Amon could not move a muscle, as the sight of the half covered girl was completely entrancing. He could not help but eye the flatness of her stomach, that only added to the loveliness that the sleeping form had, which he could not tear away. She was beautiful, his mind told him as he stood there for long moments.

Not trusting himself right then, Amon made himself take a step back and close the bedroom door. He knew just what sexual thoughts that were bouncing around in his brain, was not right. He decided not to let them get the best of him, and that was why he had backed out of the room, feeling guilty that he even had seen the girl like that..

Returning to the couch, Amon shucked off most of his own clothing and tossed discarded articles on to a battered recliner that sat near the sofa. He pulled out a throw blanket from where it had been stored under the sofa, and laid down with it.

In the darkness of the room, He layed there for a long time, punishing himself about what his mind had been thinking when he had looked in on the girl. He knew, those thoughts were not what a protector should have been.

He just forced himself to sleep, knowing that the next day he would have to tell young Robin the awful truth. The truth that she was the target of a killer-for-hire, and there might be more out there to finish the job..

He drifted off finally, knowing that he should not put of telling her that, but he wanted to say more than the information he had.
