"Sesshoumaru," Touga said sleepily to his son, who was jumping on is bed, "It's two a.m... Do you ever go to sleep?"
The four-year-old Sesshoumaru took one last really big jump before landing on his back next to his dad. "Sometimes." he replied simply.
Ayami sighed. "You're lucky that we love you so much," she said and turned over to hug her son.
Sesshoumaru giggled childishly and squirmed out of her arms, jumping on the bed two last times and running out the door back to his room. "Touga, does he ever get tired?" she asked, only to be answered by a snore. "Touga...? Ugh, I should've known you'd gone back to sleep..." and with that, Ayami cuddled up next to him under the blankets and went back to sleep.
The next morning, the couple slowly woke. Ayami's eyes fluttered open and she screamed, Sesshoumaru's face being really close to hers. "What?" he asked, leaning back with a confused look in his wide golden eyes.
His mother held her hand to her chest to regulate her breathing. "You scared me half to death, Sesshoumaru,"
"Why?" he asked.
Ayami was at a loss. How could she answer a question like that? "Um... Because I'm not used to waking up with a pair of huge golden eyes staring at me... Unless you count you father, that is."
Sesshoumaru laughed and ran down the hallways of his father's fortress and to the kitchen, his mother following at her own pace. Suddenly, he was behind her and asking questions. "Why do you and Daddy kiss each other?"
That question made her stop for a moment, then keep walking. "It's a way for adults to show affection to each other."
"Why?" he asked, jogging to catch up after a short pause while waiting for an answer.
"Because we love each other,"
"Why?"
"That's just the way things turned out."
"But, why?"
Ayami stopped and leaned down to her son's height. "Things like that just happen, Sesshoumaru. Love is not something that you can chose, or buy, or gain out of nowhere. It happens over time. When things just happen, you can't question them, or else there is a never-ending trail of 'whys' and their answers."
"Then how come you can't answer everything I ask, Momma?"
"I don't know everything, my son."
Sesshoumaru looked amazed. "But I thought you and Daddy did know everything..."
"No. No one can know everything, and no one can do everything. We all have strength and weaknesses, some more than others. You may be too young to understand all of this, but when your older, just come and ask me and I will tell you everything I know," Ayami explained.
"What about Dad?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"He doesn't know very much anyway, so he can't teach you more than me." She laughed. Of course she was kidding, but Sesshoumaru didn't know that...
God! That is such a crappy ending!! Please forgive me and review!
