InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Test of Time ❯ Familar Face ( Chapter 2 )

Fawks opened her eyes taking in her surroundings, she was still in the forest except it was no longer night. The birds chirped happily in the trees above her and animals scampered around the ground. Sitting up, she rubbed her aching head, the sudden image of Sessho-maru's distraught face danced across her memory.

 

`Sessh-kun…I have to find some way to get back… of course that would be easier if I knew where I was…' Fawks sweat dropped.

 

“You there!”

 

Fawks looked up to see several men on horse back, clearly youkai.

 

“What are you doing in the great dog general's forest with out permission?! Identify yourself, what manner of being are you?”

 

Fawks sighed, “Fawks, dragon…I'm kinda lost if you couldn't tell…”

 

“Insolence!” the rider growled beginning to unsheathe his sword.

 

Fawks stuck her tongue out at him.

 

“Foolish wench!” he growled.

 

“Stop!”

 

The other men moved aside to let the figure through. He was tall with long silver hair in a ponytail, intense amber eyes and purple strips on his cheeks. He was dressed in armor with a long fur cloak. Fawks was speechless.

 

`No, it can't be…Sessho-maru's Father?!'

 

 

The group sat in silence around the campfire, the battle was over, Naraku was dead. Every now and again they would sneak glances at lone figure of Sessho-maru who sat against a tree far from the fire. Kagome sighed walking over to him, “Here” she offered him a cup of Ramen.

 

“No thank you…”

 

“Don't worry, we're gonna find Fawks…” Kagome smiled reassuringly.

 

Sessho-maru rose to his feet, striding off into the darkness.

 

 

Fawks glanced around as Inutaisho escorted her through the main gate of the castle.

 

“Wow…” she gasped.

 

Inutaisho smirked, “You are welcome here for as long as you please”

 

“…Thank you…you're very kind…” Fawks blushed.

 

Inutaisho smiled at her.

 

“This is to be you're room…” he said sliding open the shoji screen. Fawks gasped, the room was huge.

 

“A…are you sure…?”

 

Inutaisho chuckled.

 

“I've never known you to bring home strays before…”

 

The two of them turned, Fawks bit her bottom lip to keep her mouth from hanging open. In the door way stood a very tall, very handsome future lord of the western lands.

 

`…Sessho-maru…'
