Author's Note: Here is the next chapter of this story. Now, we will see Sesshomaru as a young pup. But will he be the stuck-up male we know or will there be a change in him. What will happen when we put Natsuko's calm demenor against the rash Sesshomaru? A fight perhaps? You will see when you read the story. Now, onto the story.
Chapter Eleven.

It was seven Yokai years after Sesshomaru�s birth, three hundred years had past for the humans outside of the castle, the eleven year old Natsuko was training some of the female warriors who she handpicked to give her extra hands when protecting Lady Kannon outside of the castle. Natsuko noticed that Sesshomaru was practicing with his sword by himself but surrounded by his own personal bodyguards. He was trying to get them to engage him in battle but they were refusing.
She heard him bark off that everyone was scared to fight him thinking he might kill them accidentally. She broke out into laughter over the comment, as she placed her spear on her shoulder as she looked in his general direction still laughing. �You, pup, think they�re scared to fight you because you might kill them? Don�t make me laugh, pup!�
He growled as he stalked towards Natsuko and when he came into the reach of her throwing ability, her spear made him stop as he looked down at where the spear had landed � right between his feet. He looked up and growled, �I challenge you to a fight. Right here and right now, bitch!�
�Oh, you think you can take me on and win, Sessho-kun?� Natsuko replied, with a smirk on her face. �I don�t think you can.�
�I will defeat you for that comment,� Sesshomaru growled. His hands flexed as he glared at her.
Natsuko glanced at one of her warriors she was training. �Go inform Lord Inu no Taisho that his son has just challenged his bitch�s bodyguard to a duel,�
The bitch nodded and raced off towards the castle. Everyone started to surround the pair. Some even were taking wagers on who would win before the fight would even begin.
One of the bitches looked at the entrance to the training center and spoke, �Lord Inu no Taisho!�
Everyone stopped what they were doing and bowed to him as he strode into the area. He glanced at Sesshomaru and then to Natsuko. �Rise, Natsuko.�
Natsuko rose to her full height and looked over at him. �Your son challenged me to a fight.�
�And why would he do such a thing?� Inu no Taisho asked. His hands on his hip looking at them both.
Natsuko chuckled. �Well, I ended up laughing at him because his bodyguards were refusing to fight with him and basically told the young pup that they didn�t want to fight him. It is not their place to fight him; they�re there to protect him when more than one assassin comes to slay him.�
Inu no Taisho nodded as he glanced over at his son. �She�s right, son. Your bodyguards are not here to be your personal trainers. If you want to train, enlist in the army and you will be trained.� He turned to the warriors standing around and then to the two fighters. �I will give a new sword specially made by Totosai to the victor of this battle.�
Natsuko looked at Inu no Taisho with surprise in her eyes. �A sword made by the famous Totosai, wow, that is a very generous gift to the victor, my Lord,�
Sesshomaru growled he knew he would be getting a sword made by the famous swords maker as he glared at his own sire, before he turned to look at Natsuko. �Lets do this, bitch!� And he lunged forth at her with his sword in hand.
�You are at this moment, an arrogant brat, Sessho-kun.� Natsuko just stood there and when the young pup got near, she dodged the sword and slammed her hand down onto his arm knocking the sword from his hand. She kicked the sword away and barked off a command to her warrior who was standing there to claim the sword and return it to Sessho-kun when the battle was over.
For the next several minutes, Sessho-kun was getting his face into the dirt by Natsuko or his stomach being kicked hard by Natsuko. He tried to get a hit in but she always ducked or blocked it with her own punch. Sessho-kun wiped his mouth to find a streak of blood on his white hand. He growled as he lunged at her again, only to find himself flying backwards by her kick and then finding himself slammed into the dirt hard by her hand on his throat.
�Surrender the fight, Sessho-kun, you have lost this battle,� Natsuko growled loudly enough for everyone to hear.
�Never!� He roared as he tried to struggle free from her grasp on his throat.
Natsuko pushed down a bit harder on his throat and growled again. �You have lost this battle, Sessho-kun, accept it and live. Continue on and you shall find death for if I was really serious about this fight you would be dead and Lord Inu no Taisho will be mourning his heir�s death.�
Sessho-kun�s head fell back as he looked away from her, not wishing to see her face as he spoke, �I surrender,�
�Good, pup,� Natsuko patted him on his head before letting him go and walked towards her warrior who was holding Sessho-kun�s training sword to return it to him, when she heard a roar behind her and swung around to see Inu no Taisho slamming his son to the ground hard.
Sakuko went to Natsuko�s side and spoke, �Sessho-kun tried to attack you from behind, Natsuko.�
�That is a dishonorable act, son! You never, ever attack anyone from behind! You disgrace your family�s name if you had succeeded!� Inu no Taisho roared at his son as he laid flat on the ground with Tessaiga at his throat. �You do not ever do that. Make sure that you face your opponant honorably. Always! You hear me!�
Sesshomaru looked at his sire�s red eyes as he had unleashed his demon side in this act. �Yes, father, my apologies,�
�Do not say your apologies to me, pup, but to the one you tried to attack so dishonorably,� Inu no Taisho stated, as he pointed towards Natsuko with the tip of his sword.
Sesshomaru scooted out from under his father�s legs, stood up as he dusted himself off before walking towards Natsuko, who held his training sword in her hand blade down. He glanced to his father, dropped to his knees and lowed himself low to the ground humbling himself in front of her. �Forgive me for my dishonor at trying to attack you while your back was turned.�
She used the tip of his sword to make him raise his head up to look at her. �Next time, you do that, your sire will not be the one who will be stopping you . . . it will be me and instead of you bowing before me like the pup you are, you will be in the mouth of my dog form dead.� Sesshomaru swallowed hard as he never expected it to be that. �Mark my words, Sessho-kun; that will happen if you dare try it again with me.�
�Accept my apologies,� Sesshomaru stated, looking at her.
Natsuko looked at him to see that he was telling the truth about wanting her to accept his apologies. She pulled his sword away from his chin and flipped it expertly in her hand to where the hilt was towards Sesshomaru. �Take your sword, young Sessho-kun and go practice your skills,�
Sesshomaru looked at her after sheathing his sword. �One day soon, I will be strong enough to defeat you.� And he stalked away from her.
She felt a hand on her shoulder. �My son will not get that strong. You have years of experiences in fighting hand to hand or sword to sword, Natsuko.�
�Thank you, sire. But there may be a day when he will be strong enough to defeat me,� Natsuko stated, with respectful tones to her voice.
�Come, we need to talk about your new sword that you will be getting from Totosai,� Inu no Taisho said, as he started to lead her back to the throne room.
Once they reached the throne room, Natsuko started to realize that getting a sword might be the wrong thing for her to get. She spoke her worry to him.
Inu no Taisho chuckled. �Totosai will figure out what weapon would be best for you, Natsuko.�
Natsuko nodded knowing he would not give her something that she cannot use. She stood by his chair as they discussed the training of the soldiers that she had picked out. Natsuko knew he wanted to know how they were doing with her as teacher. �They will help me protect Lady Kannon immensely.�
�I�m glad, you did hand pick them from the ranks,� Inu no Taisho said. He glanced over at her as his hand went over his three swords by his waist. �Why pick the low ranked members and not the higher ones?�
�Why not?� Natsuko asked him.
�Did they remind you of yourself?� He asked.
Natsuko glanced up at him. �Not really, I saw their desire to be the best even though they were at the bottom of the runners. I watched them run to the center each day and saw how the higher ranked runners would trip them and make them fall so they would not make it there with the rest.�
�So you wanted to give them the chance to be something like you?�
Natsuko nodded. �They were not being treated with respect by the other bitches because of their rank. To me it didn�t matter what their ranks were, they had the desire to prove themselves to be better than those bitches, who had knocked them down. They did go after them asking why they shoved them down and tripped them while they were running there. The higher ranked bitches basically told them that they were unworthy of being there.�
�But they were worthy of being there, they were just being pushed about by the higher ranked bitches,� Inu no Taisho stated.
�Yes, they were starting to feel like they were not really worthy of being there,�
�Till you came and picked them out of the ranks for your job that you wanted them to do, Natsuko?�
�Yes, the other higher ranked bitches didn�t expect to see me walking over to Sakuko to pick out ten recruits from her group for training to become extra bodyguards to Lady Kannon,�
�How did they handle it?� He was always curious how other bitches handled being picked by Natsuko as most bitches know if she is picking recruits something big is going to be handed down on them.
Natsuko chuckled as she placed her hand on his arm. �They couldn�t believe that they weaker bitches were picked by me. They complained about their right to be picked,�
�What did you tell them?� He was already smiling, Natsuko was one of a few bitches who didn�t seem to treat him any different.
�I told them that I was once in the place of the weaker bitches but I am now the bodyguard to our Lady Kannon. She didn�t see me as weak but a very strong bitch which had went up in the ranks and gained respect from the others. I listened and did what the teacher requested of me, without making her upset with me for failing like all of you high ranking bitches are doing. You think just with your rank, you will be able to go through training without doing any effort, that is where you are wrong, you may get here first but you are dead last in everything else here. They may be last getting here but they listen to the teacher and thus is why I have picked them for what I want in my group,� Natsuko stated.
�Did they ask you to reconsider?�
�Oh yes, they did that and I rejected it as I saw their behavior and watched them for a long time, before I had made my decision,�
�I bet they were disappointed,�
�They were but Sakuko told them that anyone could be watching them for a place in the palace guards or in their squad now those ten picked may go and the rest get your tails moving over the obstacles! I was giggling as I walked away from there with the ten I picked. But I did put them through the ringers for the next three months to where I am very sure that when Lady Kannon goes beyond your castle, she�ll be protected,� Natsuko stated, with a grin on her face.
�This is going to be between you and me, Natsuko,� Lord Inu no Taisho said, calmly, making the signal to his own personal bodyguards to step out of the room. �I�m going to give you my real name,�
�I will not tell anyone, my Lord,� Natsuko whispered, as he bent close to her ear and whispered the name. She looked up at him. �It means steel fang correct, Inu . . . I mean Touga?�
�Yes, it does and it fits since I am stronger than most Lords,� Inu no Taisho replied, sitting back in his throne with a smirk on his lips.
~~~~~~~~~
It was only three hours later, Totosai arrived and was told to make a special weapon for Natsuko. Totosai informed Inu no Taisho that it will be a few weeks before it was completed and he will return once it was done and with that said, he bowed to him and headed for his home.
Inu no Taisho looked over at Natsuko standing there with her stained kimono, her hand never far from her short sword, she had a strange look on her face as she watched Totosai leave the room. He smiled. �Why don�t you go off and get clean, I�m sure your trainees will train till dusk come and head for their quarters,�
Natsuko nodded and headed off, only stopping at the training arena to tell her group to continue to train till dusk and head for their quarters before she retired off to her own quarters to the warm bath that waited for her. She knew it would not be too long before she met up with Totosai and get the weapon from him. He was a very strange demon riding on a three eyed cow, but she knew that there were demons around that didn�t act or look like Inu no Taisho.
Stay tuned, the next chapter will come soon.
