"Ha!"
"Just like that,"
"Ya!"
"Again!"
"Ha!"
"Splendid job, Sesshomaru," Inutashio smiled at his pup. Sesshomaru beamed up at him.
"I'm going to grow up to be strong just like you!" Sesshomaru chirped happily. He raised his sword and spun around until he got dizzy and fell backwards. Inutashio chuckled as he watched his pup pull himself up off the ground. Sesshomaru brushed the dirt off of his hakama and huffed. He slid the small sword between his obi and crossed his arms just as his stomach began to growl. He blushed darkly as Inutashio laughed lightly.
"Come, puppy; Time to eat." Inutashio said as he turned to start walking towards the grand castle. Sesshomaru nodded briefly before running up next to Inutashio and then slowing down to keep pace with him.
When they entered the dining area, there was already someone sitting there waiting for them – A beautiful demoness that shared the same features as Sesshomaru himself. The female smiled at the two. "Evening my lord," She bowed her head. Sesshomaru ran over to her and hugged her. "Evening my little killing perfection, how was training?"
"Evening mommy!" Sesshomaru grinned happily. "It's going great! Daddy says I'm really good with using a sword." The demoness chuckled. She looked at Inutashio with a grin.
"You're going to grow up to be just like your papa, huh?"
"Yup!" Sesshomaru chirped happily as he sat down directly next to her. She smiled and ruffled his hair.
They began to eat.
Half way through the meal, Sesshomaru had grown too tired to even continue eating. He was staring at his plate with half-lidded eyes and food still in his mouth. Inutashio and the demoness chuckled and Sesshomaru's eyes widened briefly and he chewed a few times before his eyes drooped again.
"Pup," Inutashio called. He didn't get an answer. "Sesshomaru," He tried again. Sesshomaru's half-lidded gaze went to him. Inutashio shook his head briefly before getting up from his place at the table and walked over to pick Sesshomaru up. "Either finish chewing that up and swallow it or spit it out." Inutashio mumbled to the half asleep pup. Sesshomaru made a grunting noise and Inutashio held his hand out in front of the pup's mouth and Sesshomaru spit out the food. The demoness chuckled as Inutashio made a face and dropped the chewed up food on the plate and carried his pup to his chambers. He returned a few minutes later and looked at demoness's amused expression.
"My little baby is 3 years old and already has skills that rival his father's." She giggled. Inutashio grinned.
"He'll do me proud indeed."
"Usually pups around his age want to stick to their mommas like glue," The demoness said with a thoughtful expression. She looked at Inutashio and tilted her head to the side slightly. "I wonder why Sesshomaru doesn't stick to me like glue."
"Are you jealous?" Inutashio teased. The demoness smirked.
"Not really, no. I am just happy my breasts didn't have to suffer for long since it was rather easy to get him on solids." Inutashio gave her a perverted smile and she glared at him. "Of course that did not put my breasts out of danger from the bigger baby of the two of you." Inutashio just chuckled. "However, I am slightly worried about him." She frowned. Inutashio frowned in confusion.
"What do you mean?"
"He's such a violent child even if he sweet. At such a young age….well starting at such a young age as….what 2 weeks? He enjoys seeing you kill things and once he gets his first sword, he can't wait to go slashing and killing things. I can see it in his eyes, Inutashio." She sighed. "You should teach him something else then just killing things."
"Why can't you teach him compassion?" Inutashio asked with a frown.
"The fact that every time I say something he says 'Nu-uh Daddy says that is not the way it goes' or 'no daddy says it's this' or 'no daddy is right' that I can't really teach him anything." She huffed. "I'm only here to kiss away the boo-boos." She grumbled something incoherently. She glared at the silently snickering daiyoukai. "Why are you laughing? That is not funny!"
"I'm sorry…it's just how you said that last part," Inutashio chuckled. "I will have a talk with him, love." Inutashio smiled. The demoness huffed.
"You better!"
Sesshomaru sat at the base of a tree flexing and small hand and claws. He frowned as he stared at his short – but sharp – claws. "I wonder if I will have long claws like daddy's…." He grumbled. He flung his hand around. "Whip!" He yelled. Nothing happened and he pouted. "How did he do it…?" He grumbled irritably to himself. His gaze shot up when he heard chuckling.
"What are you doing grumbling to yourself, little one," Sesshomaru's eyes widened as he stared up at the demon speaking. He had never seen this man before. He shrunk in on himself as calm red eyes regarded him. The tall demon had odd blue markings on his pale face. He had long white hair that trailed down to his waist. He knelt down in front of the cowering pup. "Hey now, no need to be afraid, little one. I am Ryuuketsusei, the lord of the east," Sesshomaru frowned at him. He flinched when Ryuuketsusei reached out a hand. He jumped when the daiyoukai ruffled his hair. He stared at him for awhile. Ryuuketsusei smiled warmly at him. Sesshomaru smiled back at him slightly. "What is your name, little one?"
"S-Sesshomaru…" Sesshomaru mumbled.
"Well, Sesshomaru, what are you doing outside in the forest all by yourself? I'm sure your parents are worried about you,"
"I just wanted to train alone…" Sesshomaru mumbled. Ryuuketsusei chuckled. He stood and helped the small pup to his feet.
"Come along," He held out his hand. "I was heading over to your home anyway. I wouldn't want you to get hurt, so you shall accompany me, yes?" Sesshomaru nodded slowly and grabbed the older demon's hand. Ryuuketsusei smiled and led the smaller demon back towards the Western Lands castle.
Inutashio had been pacing when Ryuuketsusei entered the room. Little Sesshomaru had went from holding his hand to sitting on his shoulders. The young pup was playing with the dragon daiyoukai's hair and babbling about whatever came to mind, which were mostly things about his father. "Sesshomaru!" Inutashio had exclaimed once he heard his pup's voice. Sesshomaru smiled at his father. Inutashio snatched the pup up and glared at Ryuuketsusei. "What were you doing with my son?" Ryuuketsusei chuckled and held his hands up in mock defense.
"Easy there, Inutashio. I happened to be on my way here when I spotted your pup mumbling to himself under a tree, so I brought him back with me to make sure no ill will fell him." Ryuuketsusei explained. Inutashio turned his glare to Sesshomaru who seemed to shrink in himself from the hard gaze his father was giving him.
"What have I told you about sneaking off Castle grounds…?" Inutashio hissed. Sesshomaru looked down with a small whimper.
"I'm sorry…" Inutashio sat Sesshomaru down.
"I will deal with you later; now go to your chambers." Inutashio watched his pup slowly drag himself out of the room. He turned his attention to Ryuuketsusei who had also been watching his pup leave. He cleared his throat to get the dragon's attention and the dragon smiled at him.
"He is a rather adorable pup," Ryuuketsusei complimented.
"What did you come here for?" Inutashio growled. Ryuuketsusei chuckled.
"Right to the point as always, Inutashio…" Ryuuketsusei mumbled.
