A/N Child Birth Complications Part XI
It was not supposed to work this way. When she had conceived her grand experiment she
thought that she and Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha and little Ouji could all live together as a family.
She had not counted on Sesshoumaru's reaction to the subjugation mark. It started when they
arrived at the Western Shiro. Sesshoumaru accepted Inuyasha's submission. Then he sent him
on patrol along the border with Ryu with orders to stay there until relieved. She had not seen him
since that day. She had been counting on him to help her with her son so that she could have
more time with Sesshoumaru while she was here.
Sesshoumaru had not talked with her since they arrived on Kyushu. They were sleeping in
separate bedchambers. He had even given orders to the servants that she was to be ignored. Not
even Jaken had the courage to speak to her. She felt so isolated and alone. Ouji cried and she held
him closer. At least there was someone who needed her.
At this point she wondered why she had not taken Ouji and jumped down the well. Her mother
would have welcomed her and her grandchild home. She would not have had to put up with the
humiliation o f being trapped in her bedroom in a strange place where she had no friends.
She should have taken Miroku's offer to come to Kyushu with her. Miroku was just looking for
excuse to leave Edo for the warmer climes of the West.
She had refused to let him accompany her when she learned that Shippou and his buddies from
the Kitsune Inn would be guarding the village in Miroku's absence. There would be nothing left
of the village after the foxes got through terrorizing it. She just could not do that to Kaede at her
age to say nothing of Rin.
At this moment she would welcome anyone's company. If Naraku had shown up, she might have
offered him tea. There was a commotion in the hallway. The shouji door slid open. In torch light
Kagome could see a small silver haired woman draped in a mokomoko-sama and clad in a
kimono that could only belong to a princess. A beaded necklace was around her neck A pendant
with large green gem in the center hung from the necklace.
" Daughter-in-law. Where is my grandchild?"
Kagome stared dumb-founded at the woman. Could she be Sesshoumaru's mother? In all the
time that they had been together, he had not once mentioned his mother. Kagome did not even
know if she was alive or dead. Now here she was face to face with her. She had always been
rather familiar in her manner with Sesshoumaru. What does one say to one's inlaw when they are
royalty.
" Well. Are you going to stand there gawking at me or will you greet properly? I am not going to
eat you, you know. Someone has to raise my grandchild. I would certainly not trust Sesshoumaru
to do that."
Kagome gathered her courage and stepped forward from the shadow of the room where she had
been sitting. She placed the child in the Sesshoumaru's mother's outstretched arms and bowed
low.
" Behold, honored Mother. I present you with your grand child, Ouji."
The woman gazed at the little one with a puzzled look. Then she reached out and stroked the ears
of the little hanyou. He cuddled closer to her.
"I never tire of a hanyou's reaction to having his ears rubbed. It always helped with the little one.
If I was gentle to him he always responded in kind."
She looked up at Kagome with a calculating look.
" I understand that you have mated my son and married the little one. Do you really think that
such an arrangement will work? It certainly is not keeping with Japanese or inuyoukai tradition.
What my husband did in taking concubines was accepted in both societies. I was expected to be
the dutiful mate while he went to them It was only after he died that I realized how much I had
lost. Why are you not with my son? What is going on here?"
Kagome could not restrain herself any longer. It had been weeks since she had talked to anyone
but her son. It was true that she had been provided with clothes suitable for her position. The
finest food was provided for her and her movements were not restricted within the Shiro. But
she had been totally ignored.
Her words poured forth. The woman's facial expression never changed. Kagome had no idea
what she thought. When Kagome was done, she thrust the child back into Kagome's arms and
bade her to follow.
" This is intolerable. I thought that I had raised Sesshoumaru to behave better. To put aside his
mate and treat her in such a manner will not and cannot be tolerated."
She opened the shouji door and with Kagome and son in tow, she strode down the hallway
toward the chamber where she knew that Sesshoumaru was holding court. When they arrived at
the chamber there was a general gasp and then a hush settled over the chamber. Tension filled the
air as all waited on the drama between Mother and Son.
"Mother , why are you here?"
" Did I not rule in this house as the Lady of West? Did your father not entrust the West to me
when he died? Have I ever handed over that power to you?"
" I have never disputed your title as Lady of the West. I have seen no proof that Father intended
you to rule the West. You have not resided in the Western Shiro for centuries, residing instead in
your castle in the air."
"I am not here to fight for power. I am here to see my grandchild. Since you did not bring the
child or his mother to see me. I descended to this mundane place to see them. And what do I find.
The boy and his mother huddled in small room because my son is having a temper tantrum. I
raised you better. I thought you understood respect for others. You will start behaving or I will
take you over my knee and spank you like I used to do."
Some snickers arose from the audience. Sesshoumaru glared at them and the hall fell silent.
" You will treat your mate and your son better or I will take them to my palace where they will
get better treatment and I can indulge my grandchild. Come with me, my dear"
She turned walked to the doorway dragging Kagome and Ouji with her and paused.
" And bring the little one back from the border. The sight of my grandson's ears have made me
long to see him again."
