A Sesshomaru Love Story Déjà Vu
It's Kagome's time now they have taken on the family name of Tashio and Sesshomaru's Father took on the first name of Touga. The Tashio men worked together to run the castle which was now a museum. Touga was in charge of investments. Sesshomaru was in charge of authenticating feudal era items and negotiations. InuYasha was in charge of overseeing the staff that worked the large museum. This allowed him to walk the entire castle to oversee work being performed as he didn't like to sit still very long.
Today was a special day his mate was going to be in the castle answering questions. After the castle had closed for the night, he was going to surprise her with a very rare ceremony done only for soul mates binding the two together for eternity. If anything ever happened to either of them, he wanted to be able to find her again. He had spent the day trying to keep busy, but it was taking forever for the time to arrive for the ceremony. He felt as nervous as the day he had asked his mate to marry him in human terms. She, of course, had given him a very quick yes followed by expressing how she felt for him. The events that happened that day and on their honeymoon still aroused him to this day. It had given them two more pups bringing their total to 10 pups. The home had felt empty since the youngest five had now gone on with their adult lives. The newest editions of twin boys were now 250 years old and were entering young adulthood. They were both off at college he wondered if his mate would even want more as they had plenty of grandpups to spoil.
~ With Naomi ~
She turned to her daughter's in-laws Suzume and Mae asking, "Why do I need to get dressed in formal attire?" She hated having to wear so many layers like she did in the Feudal Era. She enjoyed the relaxed nature of the current time she was in it most certainly made summers more considerably bearable wearing less clothing.
They giggled replying, "It's a surprise for you while you're at the castle." They had so wanted to tell their Mother in law but didn't want to ruin her surprise, and they wanted her mate to see her first reaction to his question.
Naomi sighed it had been at least 250 years since she had worn a formal Kimono with all seven layers. She looked at her two daughter-in-laws and smiled each one with a growing belly. She sighed mumbling, "Now if only I could get myself looking like you two."
They smiled Suzume replied, "Why not just ask him too?"
Naomi said, "I am a grandmother he thinks I should be happy spoiling grand pups and great grand pups not having my own. He doesn't understand the difference."
Mae smiled saying, "Don't worry perhaps that will change after tonight."
She looked at the glint in their eyes and shook her head. She hated surprises but the last time that happened she wound up getting married and having twins. Once all dressed and presentable she looked at them both saying, "Lead the way ladies."
They took her to the limo saying, "To the castle driver."
The ride to the castle was quiet despite the girls giggling and whispering back and forth to each other. They both loved being in on the surprises Sesshomaru planned for her as it meant that eventually, their mates would do the same for them. They both looked at their wedding rings and smiled they were lucky women. That had mates that loved them as dearly as their Father did their Mother. It didn't take long to arrive at the castle, and they led Naomi to the central area. She went to her seat and looked at the crowd that was forming. She stood up and walked gracefully over to the crowd. She smiled saying, "Welcome to my home are there any needs of the Western lands people? I am Lady Naomi mate of the Lord of the Western lands Sesshomaru."
Everyone stood quietly except for a girl she rushed forward leaving her Mother behind. Finally reaching the rope that separated the crowd from her. The little girl approached the rope saying, "Lady I have a request."
Naomi smiled asking, "What is your request? Please feel free to call me Naomi."
The little girl was about to speak when a woman grabbed her roughly from behind yelling, "How dare you run away from me you little brat." The little girl replied, "I didn't run away I only wished to ask a question."
The woman shook her yelling, "She doesn't want to be bothered by lowly filth like you!"
One thing Naomi hated most was anyone referring to somebody else as filth, and that was when it dawned on her the child must have been Hanyu. She watched as the woman's hand went up to strike the child causing her to rush forward grabbing the woman's hand midair. She yelled out, "Security!" Within moments security was holding the woman back, Naomi bent down until she was kneeling on the floor. She wished to be eye level with the child asking, "What's your question?"
The girl was stunned the woman wished to hear her. The woman yelled out, "You're no real Lady because an actual Lady wouldn't take the time to listen to such unworthy filth."
Naomi glared at the woman before replying, "A real Lady listens to all no matter what their background." She turned to security asking, "Will you take her away please the child is safe with me until the proper authorities arrive." Once the woman could no longer interrupt, she asked the child, "What did you want to ask?"
She smiled softly asking, "How can I be a Lady like you when I grow up?"
Naomi replied "I have always found that treating other's the way you wish to be treated is very helpful. But you must also earn the respect of those around you to be thought of as a lady. These days the title isn't used or often given as it's no longer needed. There is also a lot of hard work involved in being a Lady you would not expect."
Mizuki came into the scene saying, "Aunt Naomi I am here to collect the girl." She was smiling the sight of her Aunt kneeling on the floor to be eye level with the child. The sight reminded her of when she, herself had been rescued by her Aunt. She carefully approached the two asking, "What's your name sweetheart?"
The little girl pouted saying, "This beautiful woman couldn't be related to you. You're like me and have ears on your head."
Naomi smiled at the child patting her head softly before replying, "This is my Niece Mizuki although if you were to ask her mate, he'd swear to you that she has two Mothers."
Mizuki couldn't help but to giggle at the true statement. Her Aunt did often act as if she were her Mother. The little girl feeling a bit more confident said, "My name is Mika."
