“You were hard on him”, was the first thing Sesshomaru heard when he entered the bedroom. Yume stared at him, serious.
“I was. It’s about time he learned to behave as a noble.”
“Ichi is growing up in his own pace. He’s a good kid.”
“It takes more than that to be a lord. He must learn to deal with responsibilities.”
“Have you ever tried sharing any with him? Have you ever asked him to help you with your duties?”
Sesshomaru said nothing as he walked to the window. Yume sighed and approached him, hugging him from behind, feeling the touch of his long, silver hair on her face.
“What do you mean?”, he asked. “That he’s irresponsible because of the easy life he has in our lands?”
“I didn’t say anything. I just think he’s like that because boys usually take after their mothers, and girls tend to be like their fathers. That’s why Sazume makes you so proud”, she said, laughing.
“And that’s why Ichimaru drives me crazy.”
“Silly…”
Sesshomaru said no more. He was beginning to find a solution for his wild son.
