InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Tears I've Cried ❯ Realization ( Chapter 8 )

Sessho-maru sat against a tree, his eyes closed, he had left Rin and Jaken behind for some much needed time to himself. “What troubles you lord Sessho-maru?” Sessho-maru opened his eyes to gaze at the face peering at him from the opposite tree. “Why do you think I am troubled Bokusen'o?”

“I simply assumed, but now seeing that look in your eyes, I am sure of it”

Sessho-maru averted his gaze. “Tell me, Sessho-maru, is it a woman?” Bokusen'o asked. He did not reply, “Nothing escapes your keen eyes does it?”

“Heh, I simply know the look of a forlorn youth. So she broke your heart and you let her live, that's a first”

“I simply could not kill her, I felt if she were dead I would die to…” Sessho-maru replied. “Hmmm, it sounds like you are in love with this girl…”

“Feh, she betrayed me…I could never love a woman who would do such a thing…” Sessho-maru growled. “It seems she also suffers, in returning the trinket to you, she is trying to rid herself of your memory in order to stop the pain she feels deep with in her heart…” Bokusen'o advised. Sessho-maru didn't respond. “If you want her back, it's never to late…”

 

Miyako was alerted to her sister's arrival by the front door slamming shut. “Welcome home, Fawkeisha-chan, you've been gone for quite sometime. Father is away on a business trip” “Thanks sis…” Fawks mumbled, climbing up the stairs. Throwing herself down on the bed, she gazed up at the ceiling until her eyes fell closed.

 

Fawks walked through some kind of garden, the flowers were all in bloom. “Mother!!” She turned to see a small boy with grey hair and golden green eyes running towards her, one red stripe graced each cheek. “Mother, look, I picked these flowers for you!” he beamed holding up a beautiful bouquet. “Thank you, Myoshi, they're so beautiful” Fawks smiled down at the small child.

The boy gave her a big toothy grin, his nose twitched and he sniffed the air. A tall figure was walking towards them. “Father's home!” The boy ran to the approaching figure, the figure lifted the child up into his arms. As the figure grew closer, Fawks could see that it was clearly Sessho-maru.

“Welcome home, my love, I missed you” She smiled. Myoshi hugged the Taiyoukai around the neck. His cold golden eyes scanned over her. “How do you feel, koi?”

“I feel well today” Fawks smiled. Sessho-maru's hand came down to rest on her full stomach, feeling the life inside give a healthy kick. His eyes rose to meet her cool green ones, his hand came up to stroke her cheek, kissing her softly.

 

Fawks sat up straight in bed, her arms came up to hug herself. `Kami-sama!! Why are you torturing me like this?!'

 

“Fawkeisha-chan, dinner's ready!” Miyako called knocking on the door to her room. When no one answered, she let herself in, she heard the water running in the bathroom. “Fawkeisha-chan, are you taking a shower?” Miyako called, pushing open the door. She was shocked to find Fawks sitting in the shower with all of her clothes still on, the water pouring down on her. “Fawkeisha-chan! Are you alright?!” Miyako cried shutting off the water.

Fawks just sat there, her dull green eyes focused on the wall of the shower. “Come out of there now before you catch a cold” Miyako cooed, dropping a towel over her.

Fawks sat on her bed as Miyako rummaged through the draws of clothes, looking for something suitable for her sister to wear. “Sometimes I just don't know what's gotten into you! Is taking a bath with all your clothes on a new fad?”

Fawks didn't respond, she simply stared blankly into space. Miyako sighed, “You know I never push you, Fawkeisha-chan but I wish you'd talk to me more…as a sister” Miyako pulled out a long T-shirt and sweatpants, when she turned back to Fawks she found tears running down her little sister's face. She was taken aback to say the least, Fawks hadn't cried since the first time she came to Japan when she was four.

“Fawkeisha-chan, what's wrong?” Miyako asked, sitting down next to Fawks on the bed. Fawks turned to look at her, then threw her arms around her older sister. “Oh, sis…!” She sobbed. “There, there Fawks-chan, tell me, is it a boy?”

Fawks looked at her sister in shock, then looked down at her lap and nodded. “Tell me what happened” Miyako coaxed. “Oh, sis…I've done some thing…horrible…my boyfriend…I cheated on him, I didn't mean to! I love him so much and now he won't even look at me!” Fawks sobbed. “…Does this boy share your feelings?” Miyako asked. “Yes, I'm positive!”

“Then he will forgive you…if this boy truly loves you in return he will want you back just as much”

Fawks looked up at her sister. “Go to see him tomorrow, I'm sure he wants to see you” Miyako smiled.

Fawks smiled back, the first true smile she had given in weeks.
