InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Test of Time ❯ Devil Behind an Angel's Face ( Chapter 6 )

Fawks hurried back to her room an ashamed blush on her cheeks. Closing the door behind her, she leaned against the screen. `How could I have done that?! And give him a free show too!!!'

Fawks sighed sinking to the floor. `Sessh-kun…'

 

Fawks strode through the vast hallways of the castle. `I didn't realize the castle was this big…'

 

“Aww, looks like a little mouse lost it's way…”

 

Looking up her eyes came to rest on the beautiful form of Sachiko. She was dressed in a cream colored kimono decorated with purple flowers. A bright purple obi was tied in the back. She looked like a celestial being standing in the light of early morning. She also smelled too much like Sessho-maru to have come from her own room.

 

Fawks bowed respectfully, “Forgive me Sachiko-san, I just wanted to explore the castle…”

 

“I over heard you conspiring with, Inutaisho-dono against me…” She replied in her honey sweet voice.

 

Fawks froze, “I…I refused to help in such a cruel thing…”

 

“Smart girl…that foolish old dog has been against me from the start” Sachiko smirked.

 

`Wha…?'

 

“Know this, little Fawks-chan…I have worked to long and hard to lose to a foreigner. I will be the next lady of the western lands…even if I have to kill that old cur myself…”

 

Fawks stared at her in horror.

 

“Sessho-maru's room is down this way, I kept him up pretty late last night so, as you could guess, he doesn't want to be bothered…” Sachiko began.

 

Fawks lowered her head. “I…understand…”

 

“I'm glad we could this little `girl talk', most woman are jealous of me and my power over men you know…” Sachiko said, flipping back her radiant blond hair.

 

Fawks remained silent as Sachiko strode past her down the hallway.

 

Fawks clenched her fists so tight, her claws pierced her palms and fresh blood began to run down her hand.

`I can't stay quiet any longer…'

 

Her eyes glowed a feral red. `I can't leave Sessho-maru in the hands of that conniving bitch!!!!'
