InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Tears I've Cried ❯ Broken Hearts ( Chapter 6 )

Sessho-maru walked along silently with Rin, Jaken and Ah-Un. “Lord Sessho-maru, you seem sad, did lady Fawks make you sad?” Rin asked innocently. Sessho-maru didn't reply, his eyes hidden in his bangs, his heart gave a throb of pain at the mention of the woman's name. “Silence Rin! Lord Sessho-maru obviously does not want to be bothered right now!” Jaken scolded.

“But master Jaken…”

“Listen to Jaken, Rin” Sessho-maru's voice echoed. Only it barely sounded like his voice anymore, not to him at least. The voice that had met his ears seemed hollow and colder then usual. “Hai, Sessho-maru-sama” Rin sighed dejectedly. Jaken stared up at his lord.

`Oh, Lord Sessho-maru is in pain. Damn that wench, going out and sleeping with the enemy like some common whore! Breaking lord Sessho-maru's heart like that! Then again, my lord has been acting strangely. He didn't kill her, instead he merely renounced their mating, erasing his mark…but why?'

 

“I'm going home for a few days, guys” Fawks smiled. “…Um…okay…” Kagome said. “I'm going to use the well, if it's alright with you, Kagome”

“Fine…”

“Fawks, are you okay?” Sango asked. “Hmm? Oh, I'm fine, I just had a little spat with Sessho-maru, that's all, I need some time to myself” Fawks' smile saddened a bit. “Okay see you later” Kagome waved. “Bye!” Fawks said leaving the hut, jumping on Yoko's back and flying off.

“There's something fishy going on here…” Inu-yasha began. “Come now, Inu-yasha, Fawks deserves a little time off considering all she's been through” Miroku stated. “Yeah but her scent tells me she and Sessho-maru had more then just a little `lover's quarrel'”

“What do you mean Inu-yasha?” Kagome asked. “Sessho-maru removed his mark”

“Mark? You mean his mating scar?” Sango asked. “What do you mean?” Kagome asked. “When demons mate, the male marks the female by biting them on the shoulder and the female marks the male the same way. This mark gives off a particular scent to other demons, telling the potential mates the male or female is off limits. The mark can also be removed as well, but only the males have the ability to do that”

“To remove the scar is to revoke the male's claim on the female. The female would have to have done something inexcusable to make the male revoke his claim” Sango explained. “Yeah and Sessho-maru revoked his claim on Fawks, meaning they had more then `just a little spat'” Inu-yasha continued.

 

Fawks dismounted the Kitsune walking towards the bone eaters well. Sensing his master's distress, Yoko nudged her in the back, Fawks turned to smile at him, lovingly stroking his fur. Still, the sadness crept over her like an on coming storm, tears began to pool in her emerald eyes. Fawks pulled a jade necklace up over her head, she gazed at the carving of the dog before handing it to Yoko. “Can you…take this back to him for me?”

The Kitsune took the necklace in his mouth by the string. Fawks sat on the edge of the well, gazing down into the abyss. `If you hate me so much…then I'll leave and never return…' With that last thought on mind Fawks jumped into the magical well.
