Summary: Sesshoumaru moves into the womens quarters
Entangled Chapter 11
Sesshoumaru watched the servants hauling his furniture into womens quarters. The closer he was to Izayoi the better. He was not about to allow his mother or the Emperor repeat the attacks.
The risk was that he now depended on his subordinates in the Western Shiro to hold the palace. Hopefully, his last expedition had taught his enemies that alliance with his mother meant death.
Whatever happened he had made a choice to defend Izayoi rather than his home. If she was still in the same mood as before things would not go as well as he had hoped.
He turned his attention back to the movers. Jaken was efficiently and faithfully recreating their rooms at the palace. The toad seemed to have a talent for interior design.
He would have to remember that next time he wanted to redecorate a room. Maybe Jaken deserved a raise. He had served for hundreds of years without pay.
All the kappa seemed to want was the chance to bask in the glory that was Sesshoumaru. Who was he to argue with such a lifestyle choice? If only Izayoi saw things that way.
He had come to Kamakura to be closer to her. His occupation of the suites in womens quarters allowed him a base of operations from which to carry out his mission.
He was counting on his proximity to make her dependent on him and eventually to see him as she had his father. He was after all the Inu no Taisho and the Lord of the West. What mere human woman could resist him. Eventually, she would yield and he would reap the rewards.
