"Fawks!" Kagome cried as the lovely dragon stepped into the house.

"Hi!" she smiled.

"Fawks is here?" Inu-yasha asked as he entered the front room.

"It's been so long, I've missed you!" Kagome cried, hugging her.

"I missed you to K-chan, I'm sorry it took me so long to visit" Fawks smiled hugging her back.

"Where's Sessho-maru? Doen't he follow you around like a puppy?" Inu-yasha asked. Fawks' face fell.

"...I don't...want to talk about him..."

"...Did something happen?" Kagome asked, taking her hands. "You can tell me, Fawks-chan, I'm still your friend..."

Fawks stared at her for a moment, then smirked, "Let's just say, some dog demons don't mate for life..."

Kagome covered her mouth, Inu-yasha growled.

"That idiot! What the hell was he thinking?!" he barked.

"...I ran away from him...I wanted to see you guys one last time..." Fawks smiled softly.

"Are you going back through the well?" Kagome asked.

"...No...I don't know where I'll go"

"...You could stay here with us" Inu-yasha intervened.

"...Nah, this would be the first place he'd look for me...if he even wants to look..." Fawks walked out the door to where Yoko was waiting.

"Fawks..." Kagome began, "...please be careful..."

Fawks smiled, hugging her again, "Don't worry about me so much, eh!"

She leapt onto Yoko's back, "...And why don't you two make some hanyou children to show me next time I visit!"

With that she was gone.

"Damn that bastard!" Inu-yasha growled stomping back into the house.

"It doesn't make any sense. Sessho-maru loves Fawks-chan, I know it!" Kagome began.

"He's a god damn fool, that's his problem!" he barked.

"...Is it true...that some dog demons don't mate for life?" she asked tentatively. Inu-yasha sighed inclining his head.

"...Yeah...It's true...My father mated my mother when Sessho-maru's mother was still alive..."

Kagome gave a little cry, Inu-yasha took her into his arms.

"...I never thought Sessho-maru would do this. Such a thing is looked down upon in high youkai society..."

"He's a bastard and I hate him! I'll never forgive him for hurting Fawks-chan..." Kagome whimpered into his chest.

"...Don't worry, Kagome, next time he shows his stupid face around here I'll beat some sense into him, Okay?" Inu-yasha smiled

"...Okay..." Kagome giggled
