Summary: Ouji's 3rd Birthday
It was a great day. Mama was home. Sister was home. Today was his birthday. What could be
better. He bounced out of bed ready to slay dragons.
The Lady. peered sleepily from her bed. Was it time to get up already? She looked over at Ouji's
bed. It was empty. Alarmed, she threw on her robe and mokomoko-sama and rushed outside.
She pulled her mokomoko-sama closer to keep out the predawn chill. The scent trail led to
Kagome's room. She found him pounding on the door and yelling for his mother.
"Ouji. Your mother was injured and needs her rest. Why can't you wait until after breakfast?"
"But it's my birthday. I am three today."
It had never occurred to her that people celebrated birthdays. What did an additional year mean to
an immortal. The pounding had roused Kibou who was now crying. Maybe Kagome could help.
The Lady opened the door. Ouji rushed in and bounced on his mother. She awoke with a start as
her son .crashed into her. Every part of her body seemed to hurt. She looked up to see the Lady
handing her Kibou.
"Ouji. Come along now. Your mother needs to feed your sister. You will only be in her way."
"But it's my birthday. You did remember it's my birthday, Mama"
The Lady looked helplessly at Kagome. Kagome mouthed "Cake and presents." The Lady
nodded.
"Ouji. If you are good, you can have cake and presents later. Since you are such a big boy you
can wear my mokomoko sama today."
She looped the boa around him. He squealed with joy and raced outside to slay dragons. The two
women shared a smile. It was clearly going to be a memorable day for all of them.
