InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Test of Time ❯ Inutaisho's Plan ( Chapter 4 )

Fawks was forced from her bed late that night as the guards escorted her to Inutaisho's chambers.

 

“Forgive me for intruding upon your sleep, but there is something I need to discuss with you…” he began.

 

`It couldn't wait until morning…?' Fawks growled to herself. “What troubles you my lord?”

 

He offered her his arm, leading her out to the balcony. “I saw what you did to my son in the Zen garden, he needs to be knocked from his pedestal once and a while…”

 

Fawks blushed with embarrassment.

 

“I take it you saw that woman he was taking to at dinner” Inutaisho said in a slightly annoyed tone.

 

“…Uh…yeah…but I thought she was just a concubine…” Fawks replied. Inutaisho let out a laugh, “I'll hand it to you, she is a whore, and this is the woman Sessho-maru wants to mate”

 

Fawks felt the bottom drop out of her stomach. `Wh…What?'

 

“Is something wrong?” Inutaisho asked noticing her distress.

 

“I…it's nothing…” Fawks smiled trying to hide all the pain she felt.

 

“I want you to `distract' Sessho-maru from Sachiko” Inutaisho said carefully as if Sessho-maru could walk in on them at any moment.

 

“Wha…?” Fawks sweat dropped.

 

“I can't stand that slut using my son, she only wants to be the next lady of the west, she doesn't care for him. But unfortunately the insolent pup won't listen to me…”

 

“…Uh…but sir…” Fawks began.

 

“I knew you'd be up to the challenge!” Inutaisho smiled broadly, escorting her to the door.

 

“W…wait…!”

 

“Have a good night!” he said pushing her out the door.

 

Fawks stopped then sighed.
