"Where is your mother, pup" Sesshoumaru bit out.
"Mother is dead" he said, his eyes filling with tears, breath catching, "the humans hit me with sticks so I ran away"

"When was the last time you ate, pup?"
"A few days I think" The pup said, tipping his head slightly to the side.
Sesshoumaru would have sighed if it was not beneath him.
"Come pup"
