"Sweet Mother of Mine" Ch.9
As the weeks came and went, Jaken followed Sesshomaru wherever he went, whether it be to rest, eat, or even take a bath. Sesshomaru always had to tell Jaken to go away so he could have a while of privacy. Yes indeed, Jaken was a very loyal servant to the great demon lord, annoying but loyal.
Lady Crynda seemed to like Jaken and was glad he was so loyal to her son.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
One evening, Lady Crynda called Sesshomaru in to her room. She was laying in her bed while writing a letter to one of her friends. There was a small knock on the large door.
"Come in."
Sesshomaru entered the room, closing the door behind him.
"Hello, Mother," he said placing a kiss on his mothers head.
"Hello dear how are you?" she asked.
"Pretty good, thanks," he responded. "What is it you called me for?"
"I wanted to give you something," she said reaching underneath her bed and pulling out a very large, furry boa. "This is for you. I made it myself from the fur of a rabbit demon."
Sesshomaru looked at the boa and then at his mother and smiled. "Thank you, mother. But why did you go through all the hard work to make this for me?"
"Because it will help you. It shall keep you warm, will make it more comfortable when you sleep outdoors, and once you practice enough, will serve as another attack when you utilize it."
Sesshomaru smiled again and took the boa from her and put it on with his mothers help. They both glanced at how well it looked on him.
"My, it certainly suits you son."
"Yes it does. Thank you very much Mother", said Sesshomaru giving his mother a hug. Crynda let a long yawn escape from her mouth.
"You must be tired. Get some rest," said Sesshomaru pulling the covers up to his mothers chin. "Sweet dreams."
"Goodnight son. I love you."
"I love you."
Sesshomaru exited the room leaving his mother in a peaceful slumber. He began walking to his room while thinking if she should come along with Sesshomaru to the woods tomorrow to do an errand with him. Crynda had grown a little weaker and less strong over the past few years and that made him very protective of his mother and whenever his father was away on business he would often stay home with her. Even though the servants were at the castle, he always wanted to keep his mother company and enjoyed being in her presence. However, the next day none of the servants would be there and he was worried about leaving his mother alone. His mother had often told him that she could take care of herself but she could be so stubborn sometimes. He decided that he'd take her the following morning with him.
After he entered his room and changed into a more comfortable outfit for sleeping (Pajamas), he settled into his bed and shut his eyes. Right then, a familiar scent caught his attention.
"Lord Sessh-(choking)."
Sesshomaru had grabbed the toad demon's throat and was holding him in the air. "Jaken! How many times have I told you?! Do not come in to my room unless I inform you to!"
"(Choking) For-for-give me, m'i Lord".
He dropped Jaken to the floor and waited as he got back to his feet and ran out his room.
He lay his head back down and then had a recollection of when he was a child.

*Flashback*
In a small pond a young Sesshomaru and Crynda were fishing.
"Mommy, I can't catch a fish."
"Yes, you can. You just have to focus," she said putting a hand on his shoulder.
Sesshomaru looked in the water again and saw an upcoming fish.
"(Whispering) I can see one mommy."
"(Whispering) Good now just stand still and wait until it comes near you."
He obeyed his mother and waited until the fish was right in front of him and then in an instant snatched it up.
"I did it! I did it! I caught my first fish!"
"Very good! I'm so proud of you dear", said Crynda giving her son a big hug.

He smiled at that memory and drifted off to a good night's sleep.
