InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Tears I've Cried ❯ Aftermath ( Chapter 4 )

Bankotsu sat on the futon across from Fawks, she lay there like a limp doll. Her now empty green eyes gazed into the wall, her back to him. “You're not a virgin…” he began. Fawks curled up into a ball, “No…” “Who have you been with?” Bankotsu asked.

“…Sessho-maru…” Fawks sighed. Bankotsu clenched his teeth in anger, “…Sessho-maru” He rose to his feet pulling back on his robe, Fawks turned slightly to look at him. Bankotsu tied the robe closed turning to gaze down at the young woman. “Your clothes are over there” He gestured to the dark pile in the corner of the room.

Without another word he strode to the door he had came in and disappeared into the outside corridor. Fawks sat up, pulling the blanket to her chest, a shamed blush painted her cheeks, tears threaten to fall. `…Sessho-maru…please forgive me…'

 

“Damn!” Inu-yasha cursed as the barrier rejected him for the seventh time. “How the hell am I supposed to get through this?”

“I'm surprised to see you so close to the mountain, little brother”

Inu-yasha whirled around to glare at Sessho-maru. `Damn, this is just what I need! When my half brother finds out the woman he loves was kidnapped by the one of the band of seven…'

“So what are you doing here? You can't be looking for Naraku, if so the rest of your pack would be with you…” Sessho-maru noted. “I won't lie to you, Fawks was kidnapped by Bankotsu of the band of seven, I've come to get her back” Inu-yasha sighed knowing the trouble he was in. “What?!” Sessho-maru growled. He grabbed Inu-yasha by the throat holding him high above himself.

“How could you let that happen?! Are you too wrapped up with your own precious woman you can't even take care of your pack?!” His eyes glowed red. “It wasn't like that, it's just…” Inu-yasha stopped talking, his eyes becoming focused on some thing behind them. Sessho-maru turned slightly to see what his brother was looking at. A figure was emerging from the mist, dropping the hanyou, his hand went to the Tokijin as he whirled around to face the creature.

His expression soften when he recognized the figure to be Fawks. He silently thanked the gods she had not been harmed. But as she emerged from the barrier of mount Hakurei, a disturbing scent came to his nose, Inu-yasha smelled it as well. `That scent…please don't tell me he…!' The answer was plain on her face, her eyes were empty pools of green, she seemed to walk as if in a trance.

Fawks stopped in front of Sessho-maru, gazing into his eyes. “…I'm…sorry…” were the words she sighed before collapsing into his arms.
