Love For Her Son

"Sesshomaru, do you have the capacity to feel?" Isana stated in an angry tone.

Sesshomaru's mother looked at him with bloodshot eyes, "why on earth was her son so unfeeling?" She don't remember her mate being anywhere as cold as Sesshomaru and she was definitely not the person he got it from.

The innocent pup she had bore three hundred years ago had matured to an emotionless dog. Maybe the journey for conquest made him like this, but the question is why is he still like this?

If anyone would describe her son the list would be like this:

1. Emotionless- her son was so unfeeling she wondered how on earth Jaken and Ah-Un went on journeys with him.

2. Downright stubborn and spoilt- Sesshomaru always gets what he wants and he doesn't give a damn who he hurts to get it.

3. Certainly too smart- She remembered the time he went on a mission by himself and Sesshomaru killed every cat demon before they could even put a scratch on him! To make matters worst, the cats had organized themselves!, which of course she knew Sesshomaru did it at the time he was fighting.

4. Non Talkative- her son could go through a day saying just about fourteen words which are:

-Silence

-Out of my sight

-Leave

-Get out

-This Sesshomaru need not be disturbed.

How he does these things she has no clue whatsoever, but the list doesn't ends there.

5. Killing- too terrible to describe.

And the list continues……

"Yes mother, I do have the capacity to feel. However, I do not believe I need to show them. I need not waste my feelings on people and trivial matters. What I do is to save them up for matters that are important such as you mother" no emotion evident in his voice.

Isana exhaled slowly and faced the window, she watched the young females tend the garden and soon silence reigned in her room.

Silence. No one move, no tapping of fingers just the intake and let out of oxygen from the silver haired beings.

More silence. The birds sang sweetly, the tress swaying from side to side and male and female demons chattering outside.

"Sesshomaru, as your mother, I should have told you the traditions of the Inu race but of course with your intelligence you already know about the title of Inutaisho" his mother spoke in a barely audible tone, as she broke the silence between her and her dear child.

"Yes mother, I have read the scrolls already, however I do not know if they will be adhere to….."

" Do you want me to arrange a marriage?" she replied in the same soft voice. She could feel the tears coming, but why was she going to cry?, was it because of the way Sesshomaru responded to her or is it because she felt as if she was no longer needed by him. Obviously, it was the second option.

"No mother I need not a mate, I can rule the lands without one and also I need not an heir to the throne. I will be here for a long time and until the time comes for me to take a mate I am content with being an unmated Taiyoukai"

"Well, if that is what you have chosen, then so be it, you can leave now Sesshomaru" she said as she choked on a sob.

Sesshomaru looked at his mother, why had she begun to cry?

This was not what he had expected to happen. Normally they would get into an argument which of course he always won, but certainly not this.

He watched as she lay her head on the dressing table, her silver hair covering her face.

"I guess now is the time to show affection"

Walking over to where she sat Sesshomaru kneel and place his finger under her chin and lifted her face to face his. (Imagine what would happen if someone walks in right now.)

Her eyes were red, but not from anger it was an indication that she was crying.

"Mother do not think I no longer need your assistance , you have lived longer than I and so you know more than me"

A sniffed was heard from her side.

"It is your duty to still guide and teach me and I do take your advice. Please stop the crying you were the one who told me that crying was for the weak"

Taking a deep breath Sesshomaru continued,

" I care deeply for you mother and although I can't say the three words you want to hear, these mean the same thing"

Her eyes widened and a tear fell out. She watched as her son rose from his kneeling position and walked through the door.

This may be at the bottom of the list and it may be small, but she thinks her son is beginning to the develop something called 'love' .

Just like his father, no wondered she still loves him even after all the things Sesshomaru had done to her. There is only one explanation there to all of this. A mother's love for her son.

I have no idea what allowed me to write this chapter.

I have exams very soon so I won't be able to update until February and I am very sorry for the long wait I was studying for tests and other school stuff.
