"Sweet Mother of Mine" Ch.7
In Sesshomaru's room, his mother was bandaging his injuries gently. She finished cleaning up the cut on his face and asked "Are you hurt anywhere else?"
"No, thank you Mother for your help." Sesshomaru slid underneath his covers and began to read a book that one of his friends had given him.
Crynda looked at her son and noticed sadness and a little bit of anger on his face. "Darling what's wrong?"
"You don't have to keep calling me that, Mother."
Crynda let out a soft giggle and replied "But you are my darling", with a smile on her face.
Sesshomaru looked at his Mother and put on a tiny smile. 'Sometimes, you can love me too much', he thought and returned to his reading. Crynda sat closer to him, "You know you can talk to me about anything, Sesshomaru. I'm always here for you. Please tell me what's troubling you," she said putting her hand on top of his. Sesshomaru looked at his mother and let out a sigh. He put down his book and started to speak with her.
"It's just that…Father expects so much from me and it can be so hard living up to his expectations."
Crynda nodded her head in agreement. "Yes, your Father can expect a lot from you. But he only does it because he wants what's best for you."
"Sometimes, I feel like… he doesn't love me."
"Don't say that!" said Crynda firmly putting her hands on his shoulders. "We both love you dearly! You're our only child and we don't know what we would do without you!"
Sesshomaru sat letting his Mother's words sink in and nodded, smiling. "Yes, you're right."
They both hugged (Aww. What a cute mother-son moment ^^). Crynda whispered "I love you, darling" into her son's ear.
"I love you too, Mother."
Just then, a wolf howl was heard in the distance outside. Crynda looked toward where the howl was coming from and continued, "And as much as I love you, it's time for you to sleep."
"Oh! Mootthhheeerrrrrrr!" pouted Sesshomaru.
"Don't 'Oh! Mootthhheeerrrrrrr!' me. You need your rest." She blew out the candles which lit his room and placed a kiss on his head. She set his book aside and got up to leave. At the door, she said "Goodnight, dear."
"Goodnight."
She closed the door and headed to her room.
