InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Test of Time ❯ Stayed Too Long ( Chapter 12 )

“SESSH-KUN!!!”

 

Sessho-maru stopped in his stride. `…That voice…!'

 

Turning he sliced at the tree with his claws, Fawks fell forward into his waiting arms.

 

She coughed, gasping for air, her ribs ached from where the tree vines had squeezed her.

 

“…y…you…bitch…” Fawks growled, glaring at Sachiko. “How…dare you!!”

 

Sessho-maru, in turn, glared at her as well, “Sachiko…what did you do?”

 

Sachiko glared at them with frightened eyes, backing up she turned and ran.

 

“…Damn it…GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE!!!!” Fawks yelled then groaning in pain from her injuries. Sessho-maru scooped her up into his arms.

 

“You should rest back at the castle…”

 

Fawks sighed knowing he was right. She cuddled into his arms as he carried her back to the castle.

 

 

Fawks opened her eyes, where was she? The sky was dark and the wind was blowing hard. In the distance she could see a familiar figure dressed in fur and armor.

 

“Sessho-maru!” She smiled running towards him. “Sessh-kun…I've missed you so much, I…”

 

Fawks gasped as he turned towards her, his fiery golden eyes, now dull and unmoving, filled with such pain and sadness.

 

“Sessh…Sessho-maru…what…?” Fawks whispered.

 

Sessho-maru broke their gaze. “How could you…Fawks-chan? How could you leave me…when you knew I loved you so much…?”

 

“…I…I didn't leave…I'm coming back I promise you…” Fawks pleaded.

 

“I…wish I could believe you…” he said turning his back to her and striding away.

 

“Sessho-maru!” Fawks cried reaching out to him. But he disappeared before her eyes.

 

 

Fawks sat up straight in bed, cover in a cold sweat.

 

`…That…that look…'

 

She held herself closing her eyes.

 

`…I…I have to get back…to him…'
