Thank You My Love

This is a one-shot. I came up with it while in my Tragedies of Shakespeare’s class. … I came up with two actually, one for InuYasha and the other to Narutofor My Immortal.

But anyways

I love this song. Fighter is a song for all girls who have been cheated on but are stronger because of it. I know what the feeling is. Trust me. Its not nice.

Well anyways….

This is for Sesshomaru’s Mom who became stronger because of her mate’s infidelity to her.

><….><….><….

If you don’t like then to Bad!….

Here we go!

On a lonely field on the Western Lands, stood a figure. Standing in front of it was a tomb stone dedicated to the late Lord of the West, Touga Inu-no-Tashio. The stone was written in beautiful writing:

As the figure read this, a smile spread across he lips, a bitter smile. They parted to let a small dry chuckle out that was heard by only the soft breeze and grass around her.

“After all you put me though, you think I despise you, but in the end I want to thank you because you made me that much stronger.”

She is lunged in to memory of her and her family here at the West for an alliance with the current Lord. The alliance was to become stronger when the lord and she mated.

The lord was always with her at first. Lavishing her with gifts and love, her heart grew to love him and she thought the same went for him for her. But that was a lie he only wanted an heir and when she was with pup he abandoned her for other women. She find out in the worst way anyone could discover one infedelity.

She found him with her younger sister in their bed.

When she found him with her younger sister, that shock alone triggered her in to early labor. As the lobor pains grew more painful and the healers told her their might be a slight chance that her child would be still born she swore to him that if her child died she would kill him and didn’t care if she died for it.

Amazingly the babe didn’t die. The Heir to the West was fine and healthy a baby boy with their parents silver hair.

The lord tried to apologize but alas it didn’t work. Her heart didn’t harden but she didn’t want him anymore.

The West progressed effectively from then on. Even though the Lady neglected her duties to her lord. She didn’t to her people. She knew that he would find a willing woman to grace him at night. As the years went by the baby grew in to a boy.

Sesshomaru grew up seeing his Mother rarely talk to his Father but a familiar site to him was always seeing him chasing after the women in the castle. It disgusted him and knew now why his mother never bothered to talk to him. A new point of view for her.

Any other would have fallen in to depression or killed them selves but she saw it and grew stronger each day because of it. He had respect for her, his mother, a fighter of the West.

His mother, a fighter of the West.

Years passed and no one ever thought they would see the lord fall for a Human. That was one blow that Sesshomaru couldn’t take. He looked at his mother when his bastard of a father announced that he would be bringing his new mate to the castle as soon as she gave birth of his new child. She showed no emotion as usual when he was around.

Touga told his her that since she wouldn’t give him another child she was as good as dead to him and that once his new mate arrived she would be lowered to second mate instead of first. He left a shocked son and court. The Western lady was the only one not affected by it.

Sesshomaru couldn’t bring himself to ask if she had gone mad. Everytime she looks at him she smiles and opens her delicate arms to him. He loves to hug her. Around her he would only drop his cold façade. She was to one that taught him after all.

The night that the Child came. On that same night the lord had fought with the Dragon Ryokotse, and ended up badly wounded. He finally manages to seal it up. Touga gathers up his strength to go to his love, he spots his mate. Regal looking as a goddess of the night might

look. Dark kimono and silver moon lit hair.

She smiled at him when he up fronted her to why she didn’t help him. She smiled all the way home as she remembered his face when he knew that his mate had won the war between them.

She was strong.

The death of the lord was grieved very much. Allies, friends, families and lovers came to his funeral. All in black. Woman with tears on their faces and wailing. The men stood quietly and held their mates.

Sesshomaru saw his mother step on to the front of the stone. Her face clear without tears of grief or joy to see his father in his final resting place.

Her hand reached out to touch to cold hard tomb stone and gave a small chuckle that fell deaf to all ears except to her son. The words on the stone made her laugh.

The lady was jolted back to the present by a voice.

“Lady Io, my lord Sesshomaru your son wishes to speak to you” the general of the West was the one that found her.

“Tell him I’ll be there.” She turns back to her Mate’s stone. The general left her alone once more.

This time a soft smile came across.

“I thank you for everything my love.” She let her words be carried by wind to her Lord. She still loved him after all.

I know the ends a little crappy but hey….its still nice I think.

You know what to do know….REVIEW PEOPLE!

Arigato!
