Summary: Sesshoumaru has a plan
" You are sure, you are clear on my offer. I do not want mistakes about this matter."
" Yes, I understand that you are willing to release Kibou to Inuyasha forever if he will give up
Kagome until she weans her next child with you. What I do not understand is why you are
bothering with this offer, Inuyasha will never agree to give up Kagome. Why are you asking me
to deliver the message. You know that he hates me right now."
"Mother, I know how I feel about my child. I did not want Ouji growing up confused about
whom his father was. I was willing to part with Kagome in order to regain custody of Ouji on a
full time basis. Ouji is where he should be and Kagome is with me. I want to see if I can sever the
bond between Inuyasha and Kagome by forcing him to choose between Kagome and Kibou. If I
am successful, he will choose his daughter and I will have Kagome all to myself. It is this
agreement that allows her to stay neutral between us. I never agreed to it, but all of you act as if I
did. Kibou will be two in the 3rd month. That is less than six months from now. She will be
weaned by then. It is my turn to have another child. Kagome will certainly be agreeable. She is
only 23 She is young and healthy and loves children. She loves me. All of these are in my favor. I
do not want to broach this subject with Inuyasha. We would just fight. I do not want Kagome to
know about this offer. She is so human in her morality and would be offended that I would force
Inuyasha to trade her for her daughter. As for you. You made your bed with Inuyasha. It is not my
fault that your dirty laundry is now public. We all have choices in life. You made yours and then
you tried to atone for it by being Inuyasha's mother. You are not his mother. You helped make
sure she died. You are not his lover. Kagome has that role for the present time though I am
working on severing that bond. You are not his friend. Friendship however long cannot be based
on lies. You will deliver my message because you have no choice. If you do not, I will simply
keep both Kagome and Kibou and ask Kagome for another child. She knows how I feel now
about sharing my children with Inuyasha. She will not want to go through that crisis again."
The Lady swallowed hard. There was a lot of truth in what he said. He had her at a disadvantage.
and was pressing it. Somehow he had assimilated all that she and her mate had taught him about
dealing with people. Now he was the teacher and she was the pupil. It was hard being treated like
a child by ones own son.
" You may be right about Kagome. and me. Kagome will definitely agree to have another child.
After what happened with Ouji she may well agree not to leave until the child is weaned. She is a
good mother after all. I will deliver your message. I know that you are getting a great deal of
pleasure knowing that I will bear the brunt of Inuyasha's anger. I think you misjudge Inuyasha.
I do not think he will sell Kagome or Kibou. He will abide by his word and expect the rest of us
to do so. He was not raised like you and me to believe that promises need only be kept so long as
it is convenient and advantageous to us."
" You can no longer lecture me, Mother. I am too big to put over your knee and spank. If you
have nothing else to say, I suggest that you leave and go off to your castle in the air and hide your
head under your pillows until after I have left with Kagome. It is only after she is safely back at
the Western Shiro that I want you to deliver my message. Is that clear?'
She nodded and took off in her energy form. When did her son become a bastard? Was it her
fault? What could be done with the mess that they were creating? He was right. She needed some
time alone hiding in her castle before she faced Inuyasha. She had gone from Lady of the West to
Sesshoumaru's messenger boy. From the only friend and foster mother of the little one to
Sesshoumaru's stooge assisting him in carrying out his nefarious schemes to the detriment of the
little one. Inuyasha might never forgive her for this.
The harvest festival was over. Another year had come and gone. Ouji's birthday was a reminder
of all of this. It had been four years since that day. Four years of turbulence among the three of
them. Two had been added. One by each father. Ouji now resided full time at the Western Shiro.
Kibou had spent most of her time there also due to the accident of birth. She was still at that age
when she still clung to her mother
The agreement was entering it's forth year. Although it seemed strained at time. the basic
framework still existed. Sesshoumaru claimed that he was not bound by the agreement yet he
came to collect her on the appointed day every year. Parting had been more difficult. He broke
down after she left the first time. He threw her out the second time. She had left to go attend
Sango's fifth child the third time and last time she had escaped with his mother for a vacation.
Custody of the children had made things difficult. Sesshoumaru had found that he would not
abide having Ouji with Inuyasha. A boy needed to know who his father was. It hurt Kagome that
she was separated from her boy while she was with Inuyasha. Kibou had been unplanned and
unexpected. She had not left her mother's side since she had been born. Inuyasha had been shut
out of his nephew's life altogether. He had missed his daughter's birth, her first words and her
steps because she had been at the Western Shiro at the time. Still, she was dear to him as anyone
other than Kagome.
Parting was always a difficult time for both of them. It would six months before he saw them
again. If he knew Sesshoumaru, he had some scheme to steal Kagome from him. The only
reason that he had agreed to this silly agreement was his fear that Kagome would choose
Sesshoumaru and that he would never see her again. And so he would steal himself against
another harsh winter. It was a good thing he had been through so many of them. Spring always
came. Kagome always came back. That was what he had to keep telling himself.
Kagome emerged from the house with Kibou. She could see that far off look in Inuyasha's eyes.
This was the worst part of leaving. She was already gone in his eyes. Part of his pain. Part of his
sorrow. She hated doing this to him, but she did love Sesshoumaru. There was another life with
him, another child there that she did not want to give up no matter how much it hurt Inuyasha.
She knew that she was being selfish, but she intended to follow this course until one of the
parties simply could not stand the separation any longer. She had set the rules. If anyone was to
blame for their current predicament, it was her, but she was loved them all so much that she was
not willing to let any of them go.
" Kagome, here is something for Ouji."
Inuyasha handed her a necklace with one of his fangs on it. Kagome stared at it.
" I don't see him enough anymore. I did not know what to get him for his birthday. A weapon is
something that needs to be passed from father to son. I would not presume to infringe upon
Sesshoumaru's role. I would prefer that he took it to Totosai just so long as he uses on behalf of
the boy."
"I will make sure that it is handled properly. It will be a way for Ouji to remember you. It has
been a long time since you were together."
"I did see his first kill. That was a great idea to have Sesshoumaru and Ouji hunt together.
Hopefully, you and I will have a son whom I can teach how to hunt someday."
"That may be a few years down the road. Kibou is not weaned and it is Sesshoumaru's turn to
have a child next. Who knows how possessive he is going to get about that?"
" You might want to have a talk with Rin. I saw her in the kimono you gave her. She is going to
be attracting young men. Someone needs to tell her the facts of live. Sesshoumaru will kill
anyone who messes with her without his permission. I would to have to fight him to save the
village because of some idiot who tried to kiss her."
" I remember being that age once. I used to have fantasies about you. It was lucky for me that you
did not want to peek or I might have been a 16-year old mother. I will try to set her straight next
time. I see her. I assume that you, Kaede and Sango can keep the wolves at bay."
" It isn't as if I did not want you, but there were so many other things to worry about that there
was never time for love. Someone had to keep their priorities straight."
She was about to make a nasty remark about Kikyou when the ball of light approached them.
She kissed him quickly, but fervently. He tried to hold her, but she shook her head and pointed to
the daiyouki who was staring at them. He nodded and released her. As she turned Kibou looked
at him and smiled. She was wearing the fire rat robe that he had made for her. . She held out her
arms to hug him. He grabbed both of them so that he could kiss Kibou. "Bye Daddy." The
hardest thing for all of them was to let them go at that moment, but he knew that he had to do it.
She waved at him. He watched as they ascended until they were just silhouettes against the
backdrop of the clouds. It might have seemed beautiful if it did not represent the two things that
gave his life meaning departing for six months. Just when he thought that things could not get
any worse another globe of light descended by the well. If she was here trouble could not be far
behind. He had forgiven her, but things would never be the same between them again. The light
finally took as the Lady stepped out as beautiful and sophisticated as ever. Just the person he did
not want to see at a time like this. The Lady looked at him. He was already glaring at her. Best to
get this over with as quickly and painlessly as possible. " Inuyasha, I need to talk with you.":
