"My name is Miyako Hidenori…" the woman said quietly.

"...Do you know how this happened?" Sessho-maru asked. Miyako trembled, tears welling in her eyes.

"...It was your father was it not?"

"...It's my fault...I just wanted her home, even if it was to get her stuff...I was so worried about her...I intended to be there when she got back but...the studio called, I'm an actress...I...honestly didn't know father was getting home today...I know that isn't an excuse...When I got home...Kami! I was lucky he hadn't killed her yet. Fawkeisha had...fallen down the stairs...or father had pushed her, I don't know...I tried to help her but...she shoved me away and stormed out just like she always does..." Miyako was sobbing at that point. "...I should have noticed! ...the way she tottered...the way she limped...she could barely get on her motorcycle!"

Sessho-maru observed her in silence, "Where is your father now?"

"...I don't know...I yelled at him for hurting Fawkeisha-chan so badly and he stormed out too...If you don't mind me asking...how do you know Fawkeisha-chan?" Miyako sniffled wiping her eyes.

"...I was letting her stay in my apartment..." Sessho-maru stretched back his shoulders uncomfortably.

"...R...really?! Free of charge?"

"Hai..."

"...Thank you, that's very kind, I greatly appreciate it" Miyako smiled.

"Hidenori-san..." the nurse came up to them. "Your sister is conscious"

"Fawkeisha...oh Kami!" Miyako wept, coming over to the bed. She hugged Fawks, kissing her face.

"...Ah...Miyako...enough!" Fawks cried. Sessho-maru observed at the door, the swelling had gone down in her face so there were only a lot of cuts and scratches.

"...I'm so sorry, Fawkeisha-chan...if only...if only I had been there..." Miyako began, tears pooling.

"...C'mon Miyako you don't haveta cry about it..." Fawks sweatdropped. She then noticed Sessho-maru standing by the door.

"Hey Sessh-kun..."

"How are you feeling?" he asked coming to her side as well.

"...Okay...considering..." She shrugged. Miyako burst into tears again, "This is all my fault!"

"Goddammit Miyako!! Calm down, you're ruining your make-up!" Fawks barked.

"I don't care! The most important thing right now is my baby sister's health..."

Fawks' expression softened and she sighed, "I'll be fine, you know I'm a fast healer..."

"...Wait! Sir, you can't go in there!" a nurse cried. A split second later the door burst open. In came a tall man with incredibly dark skin. He was wearing an armani suit and looked positively livid.

"You!" Miyako cried.

"...Shavonn..." Fawks whispered.

"Goddammit Fawkeisha, what the hell happen?!" he asked obviously distressed by her condition.

'He's speaking english...so he's an American?' Sessho-maru pondered.

"...What...what are you doing here?!" Miyako asked, she looked frightened. The man glared at her with angry brown eyes.

"I'm takin' Fawkeisha wit me. The judge granted me custody of 'er" he said handing her a judicial document. Miyako read it over, becoming even more distressed.

"...But why?!"

"You know why! I ain't as stupid as y'all seem to think I am, I know why Fawkeisha's always so banged up. I'm takin' 'er before that bastard has a chance to kill her!!" He yelled. Miyako lowered her head, knowing he was right, Shavonn leaned over, kissing Fawks' forehead.

"The nurse said I could take you in the morning so I'll be back tomorrow to help you pack" He whispered. Fawks nodded half-heartedly, glancing at Sessho-maru.

Sessho-maru was surprised to see Fawks when he answered the door the next day.

"I'm moving to America..." She said. Sessho-maru's heart throbbed painfully.

"That guy yesterday was my big brother, he owns a record company in New York City, so, that's where I'm going" Fawks sighed sitting down on the couch. Sessho-maru turned his back to her so she wouldn't see the emotion swirling in his eyes.

"So why have you come back here?"

Fawks looked up at him, cheeks red, "...I...wanted to say goodbye to you...I know it was you who took me to the hospital...thank you..."

Sessho-maru turned to look at her, she gazed at him meaningfully.

"...As...a goodbye present...could you please...kiss me..."

Sessho-maru gazed at her in surprise, Fawks shut her eyes, tears spilling over.

"...Please...I like you so much, you're so nice to me...just one kiss..."

Sessho-maru gazed at her for a minute more, he then sat beside her on the couch. Wiping away her tears, he leaned into her lips.
