The Nosey Mother
Koona and Ghanna approached the gates of the Western Lord. They listened to their drive talk with Sesshomaru's guards. As their driver neared the front door of Sesshomaru's palace he stopped then came to help his mistress down. Koona was not surprised to find Sesshomaru waiting on them at the top of the stairs. Koona bowed to him and watched his wife do the same.
Sesshomaru watched the wolves get out of the carriage. After they bowed to him he returned their bow. "To what do I owe the privilege of this visit Koona?"
"My son came home last evening announcing that you had his mate. My mate and I would like to meet the girl if we may?" Koona walked up the stairs to join Sesshomaru.
"If he proves his claim I have his mate. If not then I will find another for her." Sesshomaru saw the wolf youkai nod his head.
"We understand your decision my Lord but may we be permitted to meet the girl?" Koona didn't like the fact that Sesshoumaru had not answered his question yet.
"Lady Ghanna can meet her now if she wishes. I have some other business that I would like to discuss with you first if you do not mind." Sesshomaru motioned to a female guard. When she bowed before him and the wolf youkai he spoke again. "Take Lady Ghanna to see the miko Kagome. And my lady do not be afraid. She can not harm you with her powers in my castle."
Ghanna bowed to Sesshomaru then to her mate before following the guard out of the lobby. "Why are you taking me to see the girl?"
The guard didn't stop walking as she answered the Lady behind her. "Only women may enter this wing of the castle. Lord Sesshomaru can but he don't want to unless it is necessary. He says the humans smell so he avoids them."
"Why did he take them on as wards if they smell?" Ghanna kept walking behind the guard.
"You would have to ask my Lord that question My Lady? You will find the miko in the garden with her kitsune cub and the taijiya." The guard turned and left.
"Thank you." Ghanna entered the garden. Koga hadn't informed them that the miko had been mated before. Why else would she have a kitsune pup? She walked around the garden until she finally heard the sound of laughter. She found two humans sitting under a tree while the kitsune and a neko played with Lord Sesshomaru's ward Rin.
Rin spotted her and ran and latched onto her leg. "Lady Ghanna have you came to visit me?"
Ghanna looked down at the child in shock. When did she stop speaking in the third person? "Not today Rin although I am happy to see you. Today I here to meet someone named Kagome."
"Ri.. I mean I will introduce you to her." Rin grabbed her hand and pulled her to the girls by the tree. "Lady Ghanna this is Sango she is a demon slayer. There is another word for it but Ri.. I can't say it. And this is Kagome. She is a miko although Lord Sesshomaru has her drink potion to keep her powers away from her."
Ghanna studied the miko before her. Then she turned to the taijiya "Mistress Sango will you escort the pup and the neko along with Rin out of the gardens so that I may talk with Lady Kagome?"
Kagome was surprised that the demoness wanted to talk to her. She stared at the demoness for a little while. She looks so familiar. At least her eyes did. She knew she was a wolf youkai but she had never met any female ones before besides Ayame. She nodded her head to Sango telling her it was ok and then kissed Shippo and Rin good-bye and watched Sango walk them out of the garden. "We are alone My Lady what did you want to discuss with me?"
Ghanna sat beside the miko and stared at her a little more before answering her. "It's not so much as discuss but to get to know you. My son says he has a claim on you and I wish to know if this is true?"
"Who is your son?" Kagome looked over at the youkai beside her.
"Have so many wolves claimed you that you do not know which one he was"
Ghanna couldn't believe that her son wanted to mate this women.
"Only one wolf has tried to claim me and his name is Koga. No other has spoken a claim to me." Kagome couldn't believe the lady. Did she think she was claimed by everyone.
Ghanna smiled at the girl now. So Koga was the only one to claim her. "I was under the impression that there was another that had a claim to you."
"At one time I would have wanted him to claim me but I would only be a second wife to him and I will not live like that to him and his whore." Kagome stood up and stalked a little bit away from the wolf demoness.
"I didn't mean to upset you Kagome. Please understand I am a mother meeting the woman my son loves. I just wanted to see how you felt about him"
Ghanna walked to the girl and led her back to the tree. "I may be nosey but just remember that I have my reasons. Now tell me how you feel about my son Koga?"
