Chapter 129 - The Introductions *Cold Nobility* (Stella's Soundtrack Challenge)

Once the servants had returned from the cabin, word about Kagome’s enthusiastic greeting and Lord Sesshomaru’s reciprocation spread throughout the palace like wildfire. Now the current Lady of the West was waiting just outside the main entrance. She could feel her son approaching and she had quite a few choice words for him when he arrived. General Toumoku stood by her side, keeping an eye on her as ordered. He had tried to counsel her against what she planned, but the Lady was stubborn and refused to hear him. She could feel the eyes of the castle inhabitants on her back, but she refused to turn and acknowledge the gathered servants. No one wanted to miss the show.

-

"We're almost there?" Kagome asked curiously. Sesshoumaru had been holding tight to her hand every moment he could since they left the witch the day before, and she could feel the tension in him growing.

“The Western Palace will be coming into view just over that hill in moments." He gestured toward the horizon.

The group continued on, and the taiyoukai found it difficult not to smirk at the sounds of awe everyone, minus one hanyou, was making. He was thrilled that Kagome was impressed. He wanted nothing but the best for his angel, and he hoped his home would please her. It was to be their home now, and while it may not have the amazing things that she had told him about from her time, it was still the most luxurious palace in all of Japan.

"It's beautiful," the miko breathed. "You seriously live there?"

"It ain't so amazing," Inuyasha muttered. He didn't know what everyone was getting so excited over. It was just a big building where people ate and slept. He never needed much, just a tree to perch in, so he didn't see the appeal. Yes, he was sure the beds were much more comfortable than sleeping on a branch, but who cared? They weren't staying long anyway. They had jewel shards to find and a spider-hanyou to hunt.

The large, obviously heavy gates opened before them, and they continued along the winding path. As soon as the main entrance came into view, Sesshoumaru slowed, pulling Kagome to a stop beside him.

"What's wrong?" she asked him, her worry obvious as she took in his tight features.

"Mother is waiting for us."

"So, the bitch wants to make a scene, huh?" Inuyasha commented while standing at his brother's side. "This ought to be fun."

"Remember," Sesshoumaru said, staring deeply into Kagome's eyes. "She has no power, and she desires nothing but to cause trouble. Take whatever she says with a grain of salt."

"Or a fist full," the hanyou added. When the taiyoukai shot him a glare he rolled his eyes. "What? You know it's true. She's gonna say whatever she can think of to hurt Kagome. She's probably got a bunch of nasty shit just waiting, hoping to make the little human girl cry and run away. She'll do anything to keep you from mating a human."

-

The Lady chuckled darkly as her son came into view. He was obviously attempting to ready his companions to meet her, but it would do no good. She couldn't believe the human woman Sesshoumaru had chosen. She was such a small, frail looking thing, with wide doe eyes that clearly spoke of her amazement at what she was seeing. It was obvious the girl was nothing but a lowly peasant who had likely never set eyes on a palace before.

Finally, the group began their approach once more. When they reached speaking distance, the Western Lady began.

"Welcome home, my son," she said, her tone disingenuous. "I see you've picked up another human pet. She looks so similar to the young one. It is obvious, Sesshoumaru, that you have a type: weak and pathetic. Do you so need to be reminded of your strength that you surround yourself with beings that are completely dependent upon you for their protection and care?"

"Kagome can more than take care of herself," the taiyoukai replied while forcing himself not to hold her hand too tightly. The last thing he wanted was to cause her injury and make her look fragile before his mother.

The Western Lady let out a rather undignified snort before scenting the group before her. One eyebrow rose as she realized that the girl was not as innocent and naive as she had assumed. "Oh, dear, you simply couldn't wait to spread your legs for the Western Lord, could you?"

The miko lifted her gaze to meet the cold gold of her mate-to-be's mother. "I waited long enough, but I assure you, I stand by my decision. He was exquisite."

Though she was stunned by the human girl's response, she mentally shook it off and continued with her planned attack. "So I've heard. The ladies at court are always complementing my son's sexual prowess. Sesshoumaru, darling, if you've made your way through all of the available nobles, surely you could have found someone more fitting than a peasant wench to dally with."

"I will have to remember to thank them," Kagome grinned. "His experience served him well."

The Lady Mother frowned. Why was this human not bursting into tears after hearing that her love had worked his way through the ladies of the court before lowering himself to lay with her? Should she not be upset? She set out to try one last thing. "My son, you should know better than to choose a girl that is after nothing but your title."

Sesshoumaru smirked wickedly. They had successfully anticipated his mother's angle and were more than prepared for it. "My angel has no need of my title. She has her own."

At that moment, Kagome stopped masking her aura, allowing her miko energy to flow out of her and lick at everyone present. The Western Lady gasped and took a step back as the miko's energy sparked and hissed as it made contact with her skin. She was the only one negatively affected, as the General did nothing but smile softly, while her youkai and hanyou companions looked perfectly comfortable with her power surrounding them.

"Allow me to introduce my mate-to-be, the Shikon Miko, Kagome Higurashi," the taiyoukai said, his smirk widening as his mother's discomfort seemed to grow by the second.

"You dare bring a miko whore into my house?" she snarled.

"Have you forgotten so quickly, Mother, that this is no longer your home?" He stepped forward until he was just inches from her, and leaned down, glaring into her eyes. "And my angel is no whore." He brushed past her, and his companions followed. They entered the palace, and Sesshoumaru turned to the head servant who was awaiting her orders. "Have rooms prepared for our guests in the family wing, and have my mother's possessions moved to the smallest room in the guest wing."

"But My Lord," the slightly hunched older demoness gasped.

"There will be no repercussions, I promise you. The Western Lady no longer holds any power here. You will answer to my future mate, Lady Kagome."

The head servant bowed low and mumbled her allegiance to the human female at her Lord's side. She had been waiting a very long time for the Lady Mother to be replaced, and she honestly didn't care who Lord Sesshoumaru chose. Anyone would be better.

The thoroughly put-off Lady Mother growled dangerously while trying to ignore the burns that covered every inch of her skin from the little miko bitch's powers. This would not stand.
