Fawks stared dazedly out her bedroom window. She watched as a big black limo pulled up and her brother stepped out, catching a glimpse of her he waved. Fawks drew away from the window, sighing sadly.
"...Fawks-sama..." Jaken murmured, pushing open the door. "...I've...come to help you with your things..."
Fawks smiled at him, trying her best not to cry.
"...Kagome-san and Inu-yasha-sama await you to say goodbye..."
"...What about, Sessho-maru?" Fawks asked.
Jaken hesitated, "His lordship hasn't left his study all night..."
"...I see..." she sighed. "...Guess I should hurry..."
"Isn't Fawks ready yet?" Shavonn began, starting to pace.
"Try to understand, Fawkeisha is leaving everything she knows, it a big transition" Kagome began.
Shavonn sucked his teeth, plopping down into a chair. Kagome glanced nervously at Inu-yasha, "...Where is Sessho-maru?"
"Jaken says he's been sulking all night..."
"...you man he won't even see her off?!"
"Who knows? It all depends on if his mood lifts and knowing Sessho-maru that might take a while..."
"You make him sound like a spoiled child..." Kagome sweatdropped.
"Well, when it comes to Fawks that's all he is...he doesn't want to lose her again, and this time may be for good" Inu-yasha muttered glancing at Shavonn. Kagome sighed knowing he was probably right.
Fawks stood infront of Sessho-maru's door.
"Sessh-kun..." she called. There was no reply, she sighed.
"...I just...wanted to say goodbye..."
The door shot open and she was pulled into a tight, loving embrace. Their lips met with a desperation neither of them had felt in over five centuries.
"...Fawks-chan..." he panted in her ear and she tried her best not to cry.
"...I'll come back to you...I promise...!"
With that, she reluctantly slipped from Sessho-maru's arms and as he watched her go, he knew that this wouldn't be the end of them. A breif three years would pass before she was back in his arms. Compared to the time he had waited before, it was nothing.
No goodbye between them was ever permanent, nor would it ever be.
