Chapter 5: False Savior
Fawks was waiting for him in the lobby, chewing her nails incessantly. Every few minutes her eyes darted to the clock, when the hell was he going to get there?! Visiting hours were almost over. But she knew what he was doing, it was the same when they used to fuck. After a night of intense passion, he would steer clear of her for days, making her want him all the more.
âYou really shouldnât do thatâ
Fawks fell out of her seat, Sessho-maru raised an eyebrow.
ââŚWhat the hell?!â she gasped.
âI was merely advising you not to pick at your claws like that, itâs unseemlyâ
âWell maybe I wouldnât have been so distracted if somebody hadnât kept me waiting!â Fawks snarled.
âI am sure you are aware that I work during the dayâ he replied nonchalantly.
âYeah whateverâ Fawks rolled her eyes. She then noticed he carried something in an embroidered sword sleeve.
âIs that Tenseiga?â
âWhere is your sister?â was all he said. Fawks didnât push the matter, she knew heâd deliver, especially if he wanted her to keep up her end of the bargain.
She beckoned him to follow her into the elevator, the doors closed and the two stood in uncomfortable silence.
âIs she conscious?â Sessho-maru asked.
ââŚNoâŚMiyako started her first bout of chemo todayâŚsoâŚsheâs kinda out of itâŚâ Fawks swallowed dryly. Her sister had looked so pale and sickly after the treatment. She hadnât been able to keep any food down, the doctors had said it was buying Miyako more time but Fawks wasnât so sure. Sensing her anguish, Sessho-maru gently brushed her cheek with the back of his hand.
âDonât fret, all will be wellâ
Fawks nodded managing a smile.
The hospital room was dark, the only sound was hollow beep of machines and Miyakoâs shallow breathing. In the dim light she was sickly pale, tubes connected to IV bags ran through her arms. Fawks bit her lip to keep from crying again.
Sessho-maru strode into the room, unwrapping the sword as he went. But instead of drawing the blade from its sheath like she expected, he laid it beside Miyakoâs prone form.
âYour sister has not yet passed on, the messengers of the underworld have not come for her yet. Tenseiga should scare them off for goodâ he replied to her unspoken question.
ââŚThenâŚMiyakoâs gonna be okayâŚ?â
Sessho-maru nodded, Fawks gave a sigh of relief. He paused on his way out the door.
âI will return for Tenseiga on the morrow. At that time we shall discuss the terms of my âcompensationââ
Fawks shuddered, her body caught between desire and disgust. Sessho-maru smirked, striding past her and out the door.
âItâs astounding, youâre sister seems to have made a full recoveryâ the doctor said in amazement. He placed a hand on the young womanâs shoulder. âYou are free to leave as soon as you get your strength backâ
âThank you so much doctorâ Miyako smiled.
âIâm so glad youâre okay, sisâ Fawks beamed.
âSo am I, I know youâve missed a lot of school because of meâ
âDonât even worry, Iâm so far ahead, Iâm practically teaching the class myselfâ Fawks shrugged. A nurse knocked on the door, âExcuse me, but you have a visitorâ
âVisitor?â Miyako began. âCould it be father?â
âI sure as hell hope notâ Fawks growled. She instantly stiffened the moment the man entered the room.
Sessho-maru wore a pristine suit, his lengthy midnight black hair was tied back with a simple red cord, in his hand he held a bouquet of roses.
âExcuse me, do I know you?â Miyako blinked. Sessho-maru inclined his head, âForgive the intrusion, I am Sessho-maru Taiyo, a friend of your sistersâ
Miyako glanced at Fawks who was currently trying to make herself small.
âThough we have not spoken for a time, out of grief for your illness, Fawks-chan contacted meâ he continued placing the flowers in a vase on the bedside table.
âHow kind of you to comeâ Miyako smiled. âThank you so much for giving my sister solaceâ
Sessho-maru grinned unpleasantly, âThe pleasure was mineâ He kissed her hand. Miyako in turn, blushed modestly.
ââŚWell, you need your rest if you wanna get out of here any time soonâ Fawks said abruptly.
âYouâre right, but thank you for coming, Taiyo-sanâ she smiled wearily. Sessho-maru bowed his head once again, following Fawks out of the room.
âWhat the hell are you doing here?!â she said in a harsh whisper.
âI told you I would return for Tenseigaâ Sessho-maru replied. Sighing, Fawks reached into her duffle bag, pulling out the sword wrapped with in the silk sleeve.
âHere now leaveâ Fawks growled, holding it out to him. Sessho-maru grabbed her wrist, pulling her to him. Their lips met in a rough, passionate kiss, parting her lips with his tongue. Fawks sighed, her legs going weak as his skillful tongue explored her mouth. His hands traced her hips, breaking the kiss. Fawks panted, trying to clear her head.
âCome to this address tonight. Make whatever excuses you have toâ Sessho-maru growled into her ear. When she opened her eyes again, he was in the elevator, he cast her a smug smirk as the doors closed. Fawks pulled her hand across her lips in disgust.
ââŚbastardâŚâ she muttered, pulling out the slip of paper he had sneaked into her pocket.
