"Whoa! Pretty nice place ya got here..." The girl whistled gazing around the apartment.
"I don't remember inviting you inside..." Sessho-maru began testily, closing the door behind him.
"That's why I invited myself in to save you the embarrassment of realizing you forgot" she winked, plopping down on the couch.
"Who are you and what were you doing outside my apartment?" Sessho-maru began rubbing his temples in annoyance.
"Fawkeisha Hidenori, but you can call me Fawks. And I was sleeping, by the way"
"Do you usually sleep outside people's homes?"
"...sometimes...only if I think they'll let me in" Fawks shrugged.
"You sound like a stray cat..." he said skeptically.
"Meow!" she winked.
Sighing Sessho-maru turned from her, going to the phone.
"Whatcha doin?" Fawks cocked her head to the side in curiosity.
"Informing the authorities of the strange girl that followed me into my home..." he replied picking up the receiver.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!! There's no need for that now!" Fawks cried, leaping over the couch in alarm. Sessho-maru eyed her for a moment, he sighed, hanging up the phone.
"...you should go home, I'm sure your parents are concerned about you..."
Fawks looked away, "...no...they're not...please, I'll go anywhere but home...please don't make me go..."
Sessho-maru stared at her in surprise, he sighed again, rubbing his head,"...Very well...you may stay the night but you must be gone by time I leave for work in the morning"
"...No problem! I have school tomorrow so...!" Fawks began excitedly, when her stomach gave an embarrassing gurgling sound. "...I guess...I'm hungry..."
Sessho-maru sighed again.
The girl stood staring fixedly into the Koi pond. Rin turned smiling at him, her brown eyes gleaming happily.
"...Sho-kun...I am so full...here feel..." she said taking his hand and pressing it to her swollen stomach.
Sessho-maru's hand came back stained crimson, he gazed at Rin in shocked horror. Blood flowed from her mouth, nose and eyes.
Sessho-maru sat up straight in bed, covered in a cold sweat. Panting, he held his head in his hands.
"...Damn..."
His ears perked up to the sound of the television going in the livingroom. Unable to sleep anyway, he decided to investigate. And there she was, asleep on the couch, the T.V. blaring in the backround. Fawks looked so peaceful, reminding him so much of his Rin. He turned off the T.V.
"...Mmm...Mama..." Fawks whimpered at the loss of the backround noise. Sessho-maru gazed at her for a moment. He noticed the tears staining her cheeks, he gently wiped them away.
"...Get some sleep" he sighed pulling the blanket up over her. She stilled, smiling in her sleep.
