A/N: Yes, another retrospective of Misao-CG, with bad grammar (He, he, Gomen!). Sesshomaru is only 15 years old and Inu-Yasha is only 3 cute years old. It seem that 'Inutaisho' is the real name of Inu-Yasha's and Sesshomaru's father, so… what the hell? Since I couldn't came up with a name, I will use that name nn. BTW, Baby Inu-Yasha is only a little pup, so, he speaks like someone who is starting to speak (So, some mistakes here are intentional). Inu-Yasha belongs to Rumiko Takahashi and a few other lucky bast… people!
"Torture."
Chibi Inu-Yasha struggled and kicked and cried in his mother's arms, trying to keep his face and mouth as far as he could from the food that his mother was trying to put into his little mouth.
"Dun't Wanna! Tazte BAWD!."
"Please puppy, eat, you hadn't ate in three days! Please…!"
"Inu-Yasha." Said a voice in front of them. Lord Inutaisho wasn't happy. "Eat or I'll feed you!."
At that prospect, chibi Inu-Yasha settled and opened his mouth, not caring if tears started to fell down his cheeks. Izayoi feed her baby… his chibi face got sour after he swallowed and suddenly, chibi Inu-Yasha opened his mouth and released a big cry.
"BAWAWAWAWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWAWAWAWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!."
Inutaisho covered his ears annoyed, just like Sesshomaru, and growled very low. His youngest son shut his mouth at this sound, but he didn't stop his whines. The tall lord couldn't believe it. A day, was understandable; two, still ok; but three! Three days without eating! Only because their cook fell ill and another guy was taking her place! That was completely unacceptable!. Worst: Sesshomaru refused to eat too.
He never imagined that his two pups will be so upset at such little change in their lives, or so annoyed, to the point that they refused to eat. That was a childish action, worthy of chibi Inu-Yasha, he could understand his youngest rebellion at some point, but Sesshomaru! The guy was a teenager, he wasn't a whelp anymore! For Kami's sake and he refused to eat too! That wasn't good.
Lord Inutaisho stared at his elder son who was sitting in front of him, eyeing warily at his sashimi dish as if it were a blasphemy. His mother, who had given him a little rest after that cry, and poking at his food, was petting his youngest. Izayoi resumed her attempts to feed her pouting son, and soon chibi Inu-Yasha was fighting again with his mother, refusing to eat for dear life. Sesshomaru stared at his father after a few moments.
"Otousan? Did I really have to eat… this?."
"Aa."
"Are you sure that none is trying to poison us? Can we digest… this?."
"Aa."
"Er…" The teenager glanced at his otouto and to his stepmother, then, he look at his father. "I'm not hungry. Can I, Sesshomaru, stand up?."
"Ok, you can stand." The lord said. Sesshomaru sighed in relief as he started to rise. "But… I don't want you to steal food (for you and your brother) from the storeroom or the kitchen, like you had been doing the last three days." Sesshomaru paled and sat again and smiled apologetically .
"Can I… ask why?."
"Because I want you to eat that, instead of having you crawling all over the kitchen or the storeroom pleading for food."
"No, I dun't wanna eat!." Wailed chibi Inu-Yasha. "No, mama, pleeze!."
"Oh, yes, you want to eat! Eat, Inu-Yasha!." Said Izayoi, starting to get angry.
"But tazte bawd! It'll hurtz my tummy later!." Pouted chibi Inu-Yasha. "Really, really."
"Inu-Yasha! Eat or you'll be grounded!." Ordered Inutaisho.
":sob: NO::sob:." Chibi Inu-Yasha shut his mouth. He released himself from his mother's arms and sought for shelter behind his brother. He buried his face in his brother's kimono. "Niichan! Help me, pwease!."
"Stop it, it's only a pup!." Said Sesshomaru staring at Izayoi. Then, he glanced at his father. "Chichihue, What happened to Kasumi-babaa?."
Kasumi-babaa was a really old youkai… and the children's cook. She was the children's cook since even Inutaisho remembered, with this habit of spoiling kids, like a granny, she was a great cook also, and the 'children' of the castle detected immediately the change. They knew that this… wasn't her food. It wasn't even food, not at all. Lord Inutaisho and Lady Izayoi didn't notice the change, because they got a different cook and because they believed that the new children's cook wasn't a bad one.
"She is sick: she is a really old lady, you know." Answered Izayoi.
"Yeah, but we doesn't have to suffer!." Snorted Sesshomaru.
"It's for only a few days, Sesshomaru-sama." Said Izayoi. "She will be back by the end of the week, you'll see."
"Until then, we have to suffer."
"ENOUGH!." Stated lord Inutaisho suddenly. "I'm not going to repeat this, pups: Eat Now! Both of You! And if I have to sit here all day, or feed you by myself, I will."
"Otouchan? Dun't do that! Niichan…?." Pleaded chibi Inu-Yasha from his hiding spot.
"Come here, puppy-chan. Don't bother your Niichan." Said Izayoi, snatching the baby in her arms. Chibi Inu-Yasha wailed frantically. "Now, be a good pup and eat your food."
"Dun't wanna eat, pleeeze!… :whine: BAAWAWAWAWAWAAAA!"
Inutaisho raised a brow at the spectacle and then stared at his elder son, who was pitying his little brother in that moment. Izayoi set her baby in her lap, she grabbed his waist with one hand and with the other, and she picked the chopsticks, determinate to feed her baby. Chibi Inu-Yasha struggled, trying desperately to keep his head and his mouth away from the food. Inutaisho crossed his arms as the scene took place.
"Izayoi-san, stop it, please… He is your pup!." Intervened Sesshomaru. Izayoi blinked at the voice of her stepson.
"Sesshomaru: you are the eldest brother, now, be a good model and eat!" Said Inutaisho firmly.
"But…"
"Be a DOG!."
Sighing in defeat, Sesshomaru eyed his food warily, and picked the chopsticks. He poked his food a couple of times and finally picked up a piece of meat. His usually pale skin turned blue, and several sweat drops fell down his face. In one swift movement, he put the food inside his mouth and swallowed the whole piece without chewing… he shivered at the taste. And shivered again: Sesshomaru look at his father, with an unusual face, teary eyes to boost.
"Meet Sesshomaru: the great crocodile youkai of the west." Mocked Inutaisho.
"How could you do that…!."
"Another bite"
"No, Otouchan, please, I beg you! I'm your Son and HEIR."
"Eat… or do you want ME to feed YOU?."
cough, COUGH, COUGH, cough…!
The coughing caught the attention of Inutaisho and Sesshomaru almost immediately. They turned their head in the direction of the coughing, only to see that Izayoi was covering her mouth, her face wrinkled as if in pain. When she noted this, she was tried to regain her composure back at all cost. Chibi Inu-Yasha was still in her lap, looking up to his mother in sympathy. Izayoi opened her eyes and after a few moments of staring, she threw away the chopsticks and her son's dish. She stared at Sesshomaru, who stared back in sympathy, and hugged her baby.
"I'm so sorry, puppy! I'll cook tomorrow!." She said in tears, petting her son. "You don't have to eat if you don't want it!." Inutaisho grunted.
"What? You too? Feh!." He scowled.
"The food is awful my lord, believe me, I can vouch for that!." Izayoi assured as she soothed chibi Inu-Yasha.
"Like I already said: Listed to Izayoi-san, Chichihue: She is right." Supported Sesshomaru.
"Crappy fuud!."
His entire family stared at him in distress. Inutaisho grunted and picked the nearest chopsticks. Now, the staring he received was different: it was a curious staring.
"C'mon people! This food can't be that bad: you're overreacting!." Said the lord, in annoyance. "I'll show you!."
With decision, Inutaisho picked piece of meat from Sesshomaru's dish and put it in his mouth without hesitation. His family watched for his features and only then, Inutaisho understood why his boys refused to eat.
He closed his eyes and knit his eyebrows together as two waterfall of tears started to fell down his cheeks. The piece of meat was so disgusting, that his mouth refused to chew it and he got to fought his urge to gag. He forced himself for chew the meat, but after a few times, it was almost impossible and it was a torture. He decided to swallow the entire piece, but his inner being refused to do such. He snapped his head back and wait, to gather his strength and took deep breaths: he swallows the piece crocodile style and the meat made his way to his stomach slowly and painfully.
His family watched in awe how the usual pale cheek of Inutaisho turned blue and green, sweat drops fell down his nose and chin. Moments later he opened his teary eyes and look at his wife and two sons.
"This guy deserves death."
His family nodded in agreement.
Fin.
