Fawks stormed into the house, ignoring her sister as she stomped up to her room, slamming the door shut behind her. She threw herself down on the bed, finally succumbing to her misery. Her rage had run it's course and now, she just felt broken.
"What's wrong with you?" she heard Miyako ask from the doorway.
"Fuck off, Miyako" she grumbled.
"…I thought you'd be with him tonight" she went on.
"You were right! Is that what you want to hear?! Sessho-maru is nothing but a player and I'm stupid for thinking what we had was anything more then just sex!" she yelled. Miyako gave a sigh, sitting beside her on the bed.
"Come here…" she pulled Fawks into her arms, the girl stiffened. It was the first time her sister had ever been gentle or even kind to her. She didn't know what to do.
"You can cry if you want. We've all been with a guy we thought was everything but just turned out to be a jerk" she said, lightly stroking Fawks' hair. "This is the only time I'll indulge you so you better appreciate it"
Fawks nodded dumbly, her eyes prickling with tears. She felt stupid for falling for him so quickly, for feeling like she knew him and he would never hurt her.
"All men hurt you" an angry voice hissed in the back of her mind. The thought took her by surprise, where the hell did it come from, she wasn't so cynical.
Her whole body began to burn with rage, Miyako pulled back.
"You okay? You're burning up…"
It took all of Fawks' effort to reply calmly, "…yeah…I'm fine…"
"Get some rest, you might have caught some weird STD from that guy…" she said, getting up to leave. As Fawks lay her head down on the pillow, one thought filled her head, screaming at her over and over.
"I'll never forgive him"
"Ah…! I totally failed that test…!" Norii cried. Fawks said nothing as the two girls left the lecture hall.
"Oi, Fawks-chan…! What's up with you? You're acting weird again…"
"It's nothing, Norii…"
"It's not nothing…! I'm your friend and I know you, now what's wrong? Is it your boyfriend?"
Fawks flinched, "Yeah…I…caught him with another woman…"
Norii gaped at her, "What?! Again?!"
"Yeah, he's a fucking prick just like all the other guys I've dated" she ground out. Norii tilted her head at her.
"…you've never been this mad before…"
"Yeah, well I gave him fucking everything and he acted like it didn't mean a damn thing. He's a player and I fell for it…"
"Sounds to me like you fell for a little more then his tricks…" Norii began, Fawks' cheeks blazed with heat.
"Its none of your damn business anyway!" she snapped storming off.
"Fawks-chan…!" Norii called.
She marched to the bus stop, her rage a tangible thing, like a cloak blanketing her form.
"Look at that, hardly half a youkai and yet your youki is so strong…"
Fawks turned to glare at the woman who addressed her. The woman was beautiful, with long silver hair and golden eyes. A haughty smile graced her delicate crimson lips as she sized Fawks up.
"You…" Fawks snarled, her rage burning higher, "You look like him…!"
"By him, I assume you mean Sessho-maru. It's no surprise since I'm that fool's mother" She smirked. "But don't worry, I have every intent of letting him wallow in his misery"
Fawks' anger wavered, "What are you talking about?"
"The two of you were meant to be together, and Sessho-maru is going to realize it too late" she grinned cruelly.
