Judgement
Bad judgement isn't always a bad thing.
Sesshoumaru's nose scrunched up at the smell of decaying flesh as he cleaned his sword on an enemy's clothing.
"You could have killed them a bit better," Inu no Taisho said, his face also scrunching up slightly.
"I wasn't feeling too nice in giving them a quick death," Sesshoumaru had blandly answered. Honestly, he hadn't quite gotten used to the idea of killing yet, so he had been trying not to think of it. And now he was facing the consequences.
Inu no Taisho just smiled as he began walking away from the battlefield. "I hope you don't get used to that habit. Good judgement comes from experience-"
"-And experience comes from bad judgement," Sesshoumaru finished. He had been told that constantly.
"This, son, is one of your bad judgements. By deciding to be ruthless, you pay the price even after coming out as victor. I'm sure after smelling this; you'll be kind and let them die quickly of your poison."
"Yes father." And he did learn. He gained enough experience to learn how to kill quickly and in a way that got rid of the body fast. Somehow, though, he thought that his father would not be proud of just how much experience he had gotten.
