"Sweet Mother of Mine" Ch.6

          Over the next few months, Sesshomaru continued hunting with his father. However, he was often messing up by getting too scared and running off, not catching his prey in time, or something else. Sesshomaru grew very close to his mother and if he ever needed help, she was always there. Crynda taught her son how to attack in his true form, but not as serious as her mate did. She would more often play with him since she preferred her son to have more fun than training. She also helped educate him and taught him how to read, write, and other things.

          About 4 years later, Sesshomaru learned how to attack in his human form. He had learned how to use his bow whip, tail attack and more. He looked like a 13 year old teenager (in demon years, he is a teenager now).

          One day, he and his father were training in a part of the castle.

          "All right Sesshomaru, attack me".

          The young demon pulled out his whip and ran towards his father. He jumped in the air and was about to strike his father, but Inutaisho dodged his attack. Sesshomaru landed and looked around for his father. Then, Inutaisho jumped out at him and struck him down with his own whip. Sesshomaru landed to the ground hardly.

          "Get up", said Inutaisho with some anger in his voice.

          Noting how his father sounded, Sesshomaru tried to get up, but his leg and arm hurt a lot.

          "Sesshomaru, stand up!"

          He was able to stand only to be struck down again by his father.

          "You must be alert boy. A demon lord is always ready for an attack!"

          "I'm sorry father", said Sesshomaru holding his arm in pain.

          "Sorry just isn't enough! If you're going to be a great demon lord one day, you must start acting like one!"

          "Father, I'm trying my hardest."

          "Well try harder!! Now let's practice again."

They kept on fighting all afternoon. Sesshomaru tried his best, but no matter what, his father was too strong for him. After one last blow to him, Sesshomaru fell to the ground defeated.

"Come, now. Get up, we're not finished yet! Get up!"

"Inutaisho!!!" yelled Crynda.

He looked over his shoulder and saw his mate standing by the doors. She hurriedly rushed to her son's side and held him in her arms.

"What the hell came over you?!" asked Crynda angrily.

"I was training him."

"TRAINING HIM?! Does this look like you were training him?!" she asked while pointing to all his injuries.

"Okay, perhaps I was too rough on him, but don't you want him to be a great demon lord one day?"

"Of course I do, but not if it costs him his life!!" she said helping Sesshomaru up and taking him out of the training area. Inutaisho was left by himself, with nothing but his thoughts on if what he did was necessary or not.
