"Sweet Mother of Mine" Ch.4

One year had passed and it was time for Sesshomaru to learn to hunt.

"Now run along you two and be safe", said Crynda.

"Goodbye, mother!" called Sesshomaru waiving his arm proudly.

"Fair well, son! Bring me home a nice souvenir from your first hunt!" she called.

In his human form, Sesshomaru was about 2 feet tall and his hair was much longer now. He had been looking forward to this day for quite some time and was proud that today was it. He and his father transformed to their real forms and proceeded toward the large fields not too far away.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

          In the fields, Sesshomaru and his father waited behind some large boulders for a demon. Inutaisho was much smaller than he really was, like the time he transformed in the cave. Just then, a baby falcon demon landed in the fields. It looked around for a minute trying to spot anything that might be hiding. When it thought it was safe, it proceeded to drink some water from a small pond. Inutaisho communicated to his son through dog language and was instructing him on what to do.

"All right, my son, first you must target your prey. Make sure that it doesn't spot you and slowly walk toward it not making any sound. Then, when it least expects you, attack it. Now, when I tell you, you can start. Ready…go".

With that, Sesshomaru went toward the demon being careful as to not make any noise. The falcon demon just kept on drinking from the pond. Sesshomaru was pretty close to it and he crouched down. He waited a moment and then lunged at the demon. It noticed Sesshomaru jumping at him and was able to get out of the way just in time. It tried to fly away but Sesshomaru bit him in the foot preventing him from getting away. The demon let out a cry of pain while Sesshomaru swung it back and forth with his jaws. He let go of it, sending the demon flying and crashing into the ground. Sesshomaru started running after it while the demon was trying to run away from him. While Sesshomaru was running, he noticed a large black figure in the sky that seemed to be getting closer to him. The figure landed in front of him and he realized that it was a huge falcon demon, probably the baby's mother. It immediately started to attack him. It bit him in the neck but he was able to get out of her grasp and run. The demon mother flew after him with her sharp talons stretched out, ready to shred the pup to pieces.

Fortunately, Inutaisho came to the rescue and grabbed the demon with his sharp teeth. He swung it to the ground and began to tear it apart. It tried to get away but it was no match for the great demon lord. It was losing a lot of blood and was slowly dying. After it had finally died, Inutaisho licked the blood from his lips and looked at his son.

"Come, Sesshomaru. Let's go home".

Sesshomaru nodded and followed his father back to the castle.
