Summary: Life's a bitch and then you die.
She finally realized how lucky she had been when her maternal grandfather had allowed her into his palace. The regent had given her a home when no one else would.
When her mate had died she had left the burning castle of Takemaru of Satsuma where she had been imprisoned and killed. She ran first to her father's castle, but he told her that if she had cared for the family's honor she would have stayed dead instead of birthing a beast. Next she tried the Western Shiro, but Sesshoumaru told her that he would not admit the person responsible for his father's death.
And so she fled to the mother's people the Hojo who lived at Kamakura. There she had lived in isolation, raising her hanyou son by herself since no one else would associate with the spawn of a demon.
Now disaster stalked her yet again. The entire clan had burned itself in the temple of To-sho--ji after its defeat. She and her young son alone had escaped. The family had refused to allow the whore of a demon the option of dying honorably.
She had tried to find a place that would accept them. But there was none. No village would accept them. They were lucky when they were not chased by a mob. She was unprepared for the life on the run.
She had been raised as princess and was accustomed to luxury. She had left Kamakura in May. By November her money had run out and her fine clothes were in rags. She had been reduced to living off the land and begging.
At last she could run no more. The campfires could not keep off the winter chill. The snow and wind gusted around as she huddled with her son to keep warm. As she nodded off to sleep, she dreamed of a better time. In the distance she could see her mate calling her to come home. and rest. As she ran to him, her only regret was that she would not see her son grow to be a man.
Inuyasha. awoke. from a dream. He dreamed that his mother had told him goodbye. When he reached out for her he realized that her body had already grown cold. No matter how many times he called for her and shook her she would not wake up.
As he sat holding her body in the snow, he knew loneliness for the first time and he cried.
