A/N Chapter 17 of Child Birth Complications
She gazed out at the garden. The gardener was busy at work. Several women were running
around the house cooking and cleaning. There was nothing for her to do around the house. If it
needed to be done Inuyasha had hired someone to do it. There were even men who would bring
rabbits and fish for the serving women to cook for her.
There was evidence of building activity on each end of their hut. Once they were finished their
small hut would be nearly the size of her own home in the modern era. She was sure that
Inuyasha was the one providing the details of the building and the materials. The resemblance of
their hut to her family home could be no coincidence.
In the corner were piled chests filled with silk kimonos, jewelry and expensive combs. Inuyasha
now spent every waking moment killing youkai with Miroku. Lately, he had even considered
fighting as a samurai to make extra money. She had put her foot down. Neither she or Tessaiga
were going to allow him Still he had been sneaking on independent commissions to kill youkai.
Ouji was no where to be found. It seemed like Rin was always finding an excuse to look after
him. Inuyasha must have interfered there too. He must have known that Rin was at the age
where looking after a small child was something that she did not find a burden.
Kagome became outraged. This treatment had to stop. She did not need anyone looking after
Ouji. That was what mother did. She did not need others keeping her garden or her house. That
was what a wife did in this era. She did not need the expensive clothes or jewelry. They could not
buy her the pleasure that being with her husband gave her. She would trade it all away for some
time alone with her husband.
For these months she was no longer Sesshoumaru's princess. She was Inuyasha's wife. Since she
had married Inuyasha she had come to enjoy cooking the meals and taking care of the garden.
She missing the joys of taking care of her child. Inuyasha had taken away the joy It was time to
take back her life. Inuyasha had been dazzled by all the wealth that he saw at his brother's castle.
He probably thought she was impressed by all finery.
She needed to take back her life. The life she had exchanged for life in her own era. Her first step
was to dismiss the servants. They were somewhat disappointed at the loss of work Kagome eased
their pain by allowing them to take items from the chests assembled along the wall of the hut.
The builders were paid and dismissed. Soon there was nothing in the bottom of the chest, but a
package addressed to Kagome. She hesitated to open it and returned it to the chest.
She retrieved Ouji from Rin. Rin was almost too attached to him for a thirteen year old. Although
girls could be married at her age, Kagome wanted to tell her to take the time to enjoy being a girl
before she became a wife and a mother. She did not believe that Rin would believe her because at
the moment she did not believe it herself.
When she returned to their house, she noticed several things. Ouji was already crawling and
would be walking in a few months. She would have prepare for a boy running all over the place.
He could not simply be kept on a leash.
Still she loved caring for him herself. She had rejected the wet nurses Sesshoumaru had offered
her for this very reason. No one should provide nourishment to her child, but her. It was a task
which she cherished.
He was very hungry and latched on eagerly to her nipple and suckled at both breasts until he was
finally sated. Kagome burped him, changed him and rocked him until he finally fell asleep. She
smiled at him. He seemed so peaceful lying there in her arms. She was finally content. She had
taken back her life.
When he finally fell asleep she warmed the water over the fire. Although she had done any work
which might have dirtied her, the water would cleanse her and wash away the feelings of
inadequacy which she had felt earlier in the day. After she finished bathing she dressed herself in
a fine silk nightgown which had brought with her from the castle.
She snuck over to the chest and pulled the out the package. What could it be? She had to know.
Ripping off the cover, she gasped. Staring at her was the most beautiful pearl necklace she had
ever seen. She pulled it out of the wrappings. It glistened in the lamp light and begged her to
wrap them around her graceful neck.
She put them on. Before she went to bed she damped the fire and blew out the lamps. She pulled
up the covers and waited. Somewhere early in the morning the floor boards of their hut creaked.
The exhausted hanyou dragged himself toward his bed. He noticed the baby ensconced in his
little bed.
When he reached the bed he tried to get into the bed without waking her. He gasped when he saw
the pearls at her throat. They represented the majority of his work in the past few months. It had
been worth it. He had hoped to see her reaction when she opened it, but for now seeing her with
his gift wrapped around her neck was enough.
He bent down to kiss her on the forehead and found himself pulled into the bed by the strong
arms of his loving wife. Much later they lay in bed together wrapped up in each other wearing
nothing but their necklaces and their smiles. The air had been cleared between them. It was time
for Kagome to tell what she wanted from her life.
" Inuyasha, thank you for the necklace. I know much work you did to obtain, but it will never
replace the time we are not together because you are out trying to buy the things you saw at
Sesshoumaru's castle. I do not need or want those things. Here I want to be an ordinary woman.
I want to raise my garden and cook your meals and clean our house. Rin should not be raising my
child. That is something I will always cherish and I will not have it taken from me."
Inuyasha was somewhat confused. Kagome seemed to revel in the luxury that Sesshoumaru
provided her at the Western Shiro. She did not seem to mind being treated like the princess that
she was. He thought in order to compete with Sesshoumaru for her affections he must provide
her with a similar level of luxury.
" I guess I was afraid that you would come back here and compare it to life at the castle and that
you would run off to Sesshoumaru and leave me."
Kagome sighed.
" I am not that shallow that I can be bought by shiny beads. When I returned from own era I knew
the life that I would be facing here. I chose you because I want to be with you. I love everything
about our life here. Do not change things out of fear that I will leave you. You know that
promised that I will always be with you and I have not broken my promise. Now let me show
again how much I love these pearls."
