The room was bright and warm, Sango lay in her large bed holding the small bundle to her breast. Her tired eyes took in every inch of her precious daughters sleeping face. A twinge of fear curdled in her gut as Sango's little baby yawned. Would they come for her? She was the daughter of a human and an angel. Sango hoped her families high standing as the worlds best demon slayers would at least protect her some. A rustle at the side balcony door brought Sango from herself. One armed she held her infant close, the other hand sneaked under the pillow for the dagger her beloved had left her.
"Be at peace Miss Mori," a gentle voice called. A woman emerged from the billowing curtains. She was a head shorter than Sango. Her hair stopped about mid back and was a darker ebony. Much like Mirokus' had been. The woman stood in a white dress that stopped just short of her knees. She approached Sango cautiously, a mother bear would do anything to protect her cub after all. She spoke again, "I am Kagome. I knew your lover Miroku..."
"I know who you are..." Sango replied, not allowing herself to be at ease. "...you're who Miroku was sent to find when he..."
"Found you," Kagome finished with a small smile. She held out her arms to Sango wanting to hold the child. Hesitantly Sango handed her daughter to Kagome. She held her as if the child were made of glass. A loving smile graced Kagome's features as she gazed at the child. "Her name?"
"Reina," Sango replied. Kagome nodded and smiled harder.
"Reina, I welcome you to the light little one... Oh I miss them being this small!" Kagome cooed. Sango tilted her head quizzically. Kagome returned little Reina back to her mothers arms. "My two boys, their about a year and a half now."
"You and Lord Sesshomaru have...?!"
"Children? Yes, Dante and Vergil. They have so much of their father in them sometimes..." Kagome sighed wistfully. A serious expression took Lady Kagome. "The garrisons have been lenient with Miroku, falling in love with a human is a forgivable offense... where as my crime. Well, you know..."
"It's not right for them to persecute you the way they are! You can't control who you fall in love with." Sango exclaimed softly.
"I knew the consequences. but I also knew I couldn't keep living a farce." Kagome sighed sadly. "Besides the garrison has more to worry about than a renegade. New more powerful demons are making plays for the humans. Which brings me to the main reason for my appearance to you. Take this card. It has the number for which to contact me, or my husband. Should you need anything..." Kagome handed Sango the card, which she took calmly.
"Why would you do this?" she asked slightly suspicious. Kagome ghosted a smile again.
"Because I know exactly how you are feeling right now. Will you have to run? Is she ever going to be safe? And aside from my love, I would've given anything for a friend who understood..." Kagome made her way back to the balcony door. The two women shared a look that spoke volumes. Though they had just met, the two already knew they'd be close friends. With that Lady Kagome vanished in a flash of light.
Jaken was in a panic. Lord Sesshomaru has specifically ordered him to watch over that angelic harlot and he had failed his Lord. "It was bad enough that I'm in charge of the human ward and the lords sons, but to have to keep watch over everyone! I'm only one demon!" Jaken sighed dejectedly. The Lord would chop off his head and mount it on the wall! A bright light filled the main hall and the Lady appeared.
"LORD SESSHOMARU ORDERED YOU TO STAY PUT! HOW DARE YOU DEFEY...!"
"Jaken..." the hall went silent as Lord Sesshomarus' voice echoed off the walls.
"LLLLLL-Lord SSSssseshomaru," came Jakens' stuttered response.
"Leave us." Jaken did not need to be told twice. He ran as fast as his little imp legs could carry him. Only to be bombarded by questions from his Lords young ward and the hungry wails of the children. His honey gold eyes bore into his wifes. "I asked you not to go..."
"And I told you I had to," Kagome replied as she walked up the stairs to Sesshomaru. Still his beauty captivated her. His long silver hair looked moon spun. He was much taller than she, and even in casual slacks he looked fierce. Kagome approached her husband and they held each others gaze. His hard eyes softened.
"Really?"
"Yes, Love. I owed it to Miroku. He was my friend... and his lover Sango... I believe she is as well." Kagome stood strong against her husbands impressive form. Though she secretly hoped he would simply fireman carry her to their room to "discuss" this further. Her husbands defeated "tsk" was followed by just that.
"You disobeyed me, and that needs to be punished." Kagome's giggle called his bluff.
"You make it hard to want to obey with punishments like this Love."
