Night had fallen across Tokyo. The streets were alight with the nightlife that was prevalent once the sun had made its way to bed. People hustled around the darkened streets from bar to bar, club to club as the ritual of people congregating was being played out

Under the din of darkness, Robin crept into the backalley that ran behind the noodle house as asked to in the note. She was nervous, as the days events had made her jumpy, having spent the day hiding in the malls and shops that were everywhere. She had been cautious, as she pass the time, now the time was on her.

Hiding in plain sight was the best option for her during the day, yet she was unsure of what she should do next. She was certain that Touko would keep her secret, as she had dropped her off hours ago now as she made her way to meet Amon.

The young girl took a deepened breath and walked down the pitch blackness of the alleyway. No matter what, she was going to show up, but her fear was he would for more than one reason.

She could see nobody in the alley, only the overflowing rubbish bins that wait in silence to be emptied sometime in the early morning. She stepped cautiously deeper into this back world, her eyes searching the shadows for any signs of the man. She could nee nothing that would be even close to a person’s shape in the gloom

She stopped for a moment, as something came to her on the breeze. It was a smell, one she has smelled before... it was so very familiar. It was the rugged scent of aftershave, subtle yet very masculine in it’s bouquet. Her mind was too on edge to place it though

Suddenly she was grabbed from behind and literally dragged into a doorway. She tried to scream, and readied to use her powers if she had to defend herself from tis person. A familiar voice calmed her fear.
“ Easy, easy... Its me” It said in a hushed tone. It was the voice of Amon behind her, she had found him.

He let her go after a few seconds, and she looked to find herself in a basement stairwell with Amon and Nagira.
“ You came.” He said, looking at her with a large smile on his face.

Robin found herself happy, yet other emotions took her over at that point in time.
“ Where have you been?” She spat, her normal calm state was replaced with all of the emotions that had been swirling around in her for the past few days. “ You vanish, I am left alone, told to spy on the man that I love and to top it off, I was shot at!!” She pushed him hard on the chest, venting all of her anger right at him. Her fists balled up and she began to pummeled down on his strong body, yet he did nothing to deflect any of the blows, in any way. “ What do you have to say!!!??”

The man was taken back by the verbal explosion, as well at her attacking him, yet he understood it too. She just was right there, pounding away at him. His heart sank, as she could feel her outburst right into his very soul

He grabbed her in his large arms and hugged her hard to himself. He could feel the tears that she was crying, blotting through his shirt, her sobs were a mixture of emotions that were boiling over.
“ I am sorry.” He whispered, stroking her hair lightly. “ You deserve to know everything... that is why I made you come here.” He used his hand to lift her tear streaked face up for him to see. “ I will tell you everything, but first... I have to know something, you were shot at?”

Composing herself to a greater degree, the girl explained everything to him. She told him about having to spy on him, the man from Solomon and the three men who had nearly shot her. The man was in shock, as she listened to his lady love talk. He hugged her close to him even more tightly, as she could feel the emotions coming from her.
“ Amon... why did you just up and leave like that?” She asked, as she felt the relief of finally spewing out everything she had held in.

Amon sighed and looked at her as he led her down the steep concrete stairs.
“ Come in to our little hideout here, and we are going to tell you everything.” He said, looking at the pretty girl in his arms.”
“ Where else am I going to go?” She said with a half humorous tone.

They took her down into a large room, which was a storage area for the noodle place upstairs. It was full of boxes and other more obscure things that were being stored there, along with bedrolls on the ground. It was not much that the two men had been with, but Robin actually felt relaxed there.

Once sitting on the ground behind a wall of boxes, Amon glance at at the girl. A tired look crossed his rugged good looks, as she gazed into the girl’s angelic features.
“ Once the explosions were happening, I recognized that I was near each one of them...” He started slowly. “ That is why I needed to leave for a little bit, to figure out if I was responsible without even knowing it.”
“ Did you think you had awakened?” Softly asked the tawny haired young hunter, scared that her thoughts were correct.

The man paused, as if debating the question for a second. Robin waited, her worries of his answer hanging in the balance.
“ I have.” He said flatly. “ That is one reason why it took me so long to contact you. I did not want to scare you.”
“ Why would I be scared of you?” She said, reaching out a hand to cup his face. “You have never been scared of me, and I have the firecraft.”
“ I have not told you everything about my mother...” He said. “ I was scared of telling you about it all.
“ Amon..” She cooed, seeing the looking in his face. It was a look of fear of what he needed to tell the girl. “ Just go ahead and tell me. I would not judge you for it.... please...”

He just looked at Nagira, and bowed his head.
“ Our mother had the same powers, and used her radiation to kill people when she flipped out mentally...” Nagira jumped in to explain, as Amon could not say himself. “ He was worried that he might also have the gene for Witchcraft psychosis, which is what drove our mother stark raving mad.”
“ She killed three people, when her mind snapped.” Amon finished, adding with a very monotone admission. “ She was hunted down!”

Robin just threw her arms around him and hugged him tightly. She felt so bad about getting so angry with him right then.
“ I would never think you would hurt me.” She whispered, kissing him on the side of the neck. “ You love me.”
“ I did not want to have you think I would hurt our child... or you!” He said, his voice choked with emotions he usually stuffed inwardly
“ A child??” Nagira said, hearing his brothers words. He leaned in to the two young lovers. “ Robin... are you pregnant.”

Robin turned to her man’s older brother and nodded. The man gave a broad smile, and he took a breath of happiness.
“ Now I see why he was so freaked out.” Then his smile faded, as the look in his eyes changed to one of reality slapping him in the face. “ The man from SOLOMON is here for that, then why am I being targeted too??”
“ Maybe they found out our bloodlines cross.” Amon said, then adding. “ If they knew Robin was with my baby, they might go after our child or her too” He said with a hesitant tone. “ That is if they knew of my awakening.”
“ After hearing what happened to Robin, that is a very big possibility of that.” Nagira stated.

Robin could not ignore this fact, not one bit. She always feared being hunted down, because of her craft. She was about to have a child with another with someone that had powers too, and even was going to marry him. She felt so lost right then.
“ I can’t go back...” She said.
“ You mean we can’t.” Pointed out Amon. “ I think we are both being hunted now, and with that high ranking SOLOMON man here, he is overseeing it.”
“ Will our friends hunt us?” She asked, fearful of the answer the man could give her. “ I believe the chief would order that, if he had been ordered too.”
“ That can be only answered by them.” Said Amon, looking into the girl’s deep green eyes. “ They might have no choice in the matter, though.”
Robin just stared into the man’s face. Her mind crammed with the multiple facts of the situation they were in. It seemed that her very fear, was now a bold reality.
“ Then what do we do then?” Robin questioned.

Amon’s face grimly shown the worry he also had on his three days passed shaving face, his eyes conveying the unknown of it all.
“ We have to figure that out... and soon.” Amon said, his analytical way making sense. “ You will just have to stay here with us. It is our only choice in the matter. For you, me and the baby.”
“ Do we run, do we hide?” She said, feeling very small at that point.
“ We might, my love, w might.” Was the only thing that the tall hunter could say.

Robin had one more question she had.
“ How did you two get this hiding place?” She said.
“ I can answer that.” Spoke up Nagira. “ The owner of this place owes me a few huge debts, and is willing to help us out no matter what. We are here for now, but we still have to make some tough decisions”
“ And the deliverer of the note?” Robin expressed, as she remembered how she had found the piece of paper.
“ The owner of this establishment himself left it.” He said, looking first at Robin, then Amon. “ We thought it would be safer than someone tracking a courier back to us.”
“ I just needed to contact you.” Simply stated Amon, leaning over and kissing the girl lightly on the lips.

The three just sat there in silence after that, the aspect of all of this was being unsureness of it all weighing heavy on them. They all knew for certain, their lives will never be the same again.
