InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Hedonism ❯ Stop It, Jaken ( Chapter 35 )

"Stop It, Jaken!" by Abraxas (2009-01-27)
Rin, overwhelmed by curiosity, needed to know....
The not-knowing. The mystery. It was too much!
Besides, she reasoned, she could not be blamed. Jaken was just bad at keeping a secret. He got way too defensive and angry and everything when she asked about that doorway inside of his chamber. Yes, it was, all of it, suspicious and she could not help but wonder....
Jaken. A strange, little demon. Rin thought about what he could be hiding but she drew a blank. He could not be hiding a family. Or a secret, double life. Or a hobby! What could it be?
Jaken - his life was about following Sesshoumaru. Obeying Sesshoumaru. Putting up with the abuse of Sesshoumaru. Yeah, Rin knew that pretty much was that frog's life. So it was not easy to imagine the demon doing anything out of the ordinary. And that only sharpened the thrill of curiosity!
She waited until the castle slept. Then she crawled as silent as possible. She understood how to be unnoticed among the company of demons so sneaking was not a problem.
Rin crossed Sesshoumaru's chamber and listened:
"Jaken, what do you do, argh? Stop it! Inappropriate - Jaken!"
It seemed Jaken tormented the dreams of the great dog demon - maybe he, too, wondered what the reptilian was up to?
Jaken's bedroom - Rin slid the panel slowly. Beyond it she found that futon was empty. And there was a light shining out of that unspeakable other doorway.
She smiled, heart racing with excitement, at the prospect that she would be knowing everything....
She approached on tiptoe careful not to creak the floor - and, within that breathless sort of quiet, she heard Jaken...squawking....
"Lord Sesshoumaru, what a sweet, long kiss! Oh - how do you know what to do? Oh, my Lord Sesshoumaru! Do you make love to me in your dreams, Lord Sesshoumaru? I can't imagine you would be that good with your tongue, Lord Sesshoumaru!"
Rin was baffled! Sesshoumaru was sleeping. And why was Jaken so excited? And what was going on in there?
She peeked into the antechamber. A lamp was lit above a pair of figures. The first was distant. The second was, clearly, Jaken.
"Lord Sesshouuuumaruuuu! Lord Seeeeshhhhoooouuuumaru! Lord Seshouuuummmmaaaaru!"
Why was Jaken dancing? Like that! What was wrong his legs? And his knees? And why did it sound like he was crying? Rin was so confused!
And then confusion turned to shock as Jaken yelped he was coming. The two, interlocked figures twisted and Rin saw that the other, little creature was a weird, crude doll of Lord Sesshoumaru! It was as tall as the frog otherwise the rest of the features were identical.
Jaken squeezed the doll tight while shaking. And the head of it, complete with silvery long hair, purple, moon-like markings and electric eye-dots, it fell and tumbled toward Rin. It stopped face up at Rin's feet and she stifled a gasp seeing the horrible wide-mouth grimace smeared by white....
