A/N: Everyone seems to write about Izayoi or Mama H., so I decided to honor another important mom in Inuyasha world.
Jingle
It was a sunny day in the palace above clouds. Lord Sesshomaru was enjoying - in his own way - a peaceful walk in his private garden. His gaze was moving from one bonsai tree to another, then to a huge pond with koi fish and a fragile looking stone bridge connecting two sides of a lovely stream zig zagging between flowerbeds. Carefully selected birds were singing in the branches of magnificent plum and cherry trees.
Suddenly his sensitive ears heard a soft, distant noise of silver bells. He sighed and stood still under one of the plums. It looked like his time of serene peacefulness was coming to an end. It didn't take long for the sound of jingling bells to grow louder.
A flash of violet and silver and suddenly in front of the daiyoukai stood a tall, beautiful woman. She was smiling widely, sparks of joy in her eyes. She had a huge chew toy with some bells attached to it in her hands. A female of so slender, fragile frame, shouldn't be able to hold such a huge object with so much ease.
"Oh, Sesshomaru!" she exclaimed and wrapped her arms around him in a strong hug. "Thank you so much!"
"I see that you found this one's humble gift to his noble mother," he said as calmly as he could. "Does it please you?"
"Oh, dear, it's so much fun!" She giggled and transformed to her true form, carefully placing her paws between the bushes and flowerbeds of his garden. She grabbed the toy and shook her head with vigor. The bells jingled again and Sesshomaru winced.
When the huge white dog jumped out of his garden, leaving his place in silence Sesshomaru sighed.
"Jaken," he said softly.
"My lord!" the small retainer jumped from behind a bonsai tree.
"Remind this one to never again give this one's honorable mother a gift that can make noises," the daiyoukai looked to the calm waters of the koi fish pond. He still could hear his mother playing with her new toy in her own garden. He could already feel the migraine approaching. "And ready Ah-Un, this one will leave shortly,"
"Yes, my lord!"
