"Are you done already?" Fawks asked, kneeling over Mamezou's beaten and bloody form. He was in a world of pain, he couldn't move, couldn't speak, all he could do was glare up at her through his swollen eyes.
"…I think you over did it, Fawks-san" Itnasha began.
"He's right, you are fucking awful…" she sighed down at Mamezou. He growled, whining softly when it aggravated his collapsed lung.
"Sessho-maru's gonna be pissed you did this after he did such a good job ferreting out the spies…" Itnasha advised.
"He'll get over it. Oi, I just had a funny idea, Mame-chan, from now on, I'm gonna train you" she smiled.
He gave a vague choking sound.
"…I think he just cursed at you"
"That's fine. When I'm through with him, he'll be lucky if he can still talk let alone curse"
Fawks opened her eyes to find Sessho-maru sitting in bed beside her, going over a scroll.
"…Good morning to you too…" she yawned.
"What is this I hear about you taking on Mamezou?"
Fawks blinked, "You heard about that already?"
"Little escapes my notice"
"I can see that"
"What makes you think he will obey you?"
"Oh I know he won't, I'll just have to make him" Fawks smiled cruelly.
"Did you take him on merely because you wanted someone to torture?" he raised an eyebrow at her.
Fawks shrugged, rolling onto her stomach, "He looked like he could use some help. Besides, I kind of owe Sachiko-san"
"You owe her nothing…"
"If I never fell in love with you…if I hadn't made you choose…" she muttered into the bedding.
"If I had chosen not to sleep with you, I would be mated to Sachiko" Sessho-maru added. Fawks glanced up at him, meeting his stern gaze. "She would have bared my pups, we would have saved our species"
"…when you say it like that…" she said dryly.
"But I would never have known I could love so passionately. My life would be empty if not for you"
Fawks' cheeks heated, he leaned down, kissing her softly.
"Stop thinking about Sachiko…especially when you're in bed with me…"
"…fine…" she sighed. He pulled back, returning to his scroll, Fawks watched him silently.
"I have a question…!"
"Hn?"
"If you're a dog demon, how come you never knotted when we had sex?"
Sessho-maru glanced back at her, she had propped her head up on her hands, watching him expectantly.
"That only occurs during mating season or if I reach such heights during a rut that I lose control"
"I guess I have to try harder to make you lose it, huh?" Fawks said thoughtfully.
Sessho-maru raised an eyebrow, "You wish for me to knot inside you? I've been told it can be uncomfortable"
Fawks blushed, burying her face in the bedding, "No…I just want to please you…that's all"
Sessho-maru smirked, "I never knew you could behave in such an adorable manner"
"Shut up…!"
