Pairing: could be seen as Jaken>Sesshoumaru I guess…

Word Count: 272

Summary: What Jaken would do for Sesshoumaru…

 

Anything

 

Jaken thought it was pretty accurate to say that he would do anything for Sesshoumaru-sama. From the moment he walked gracefully and impressively into his life, Jaken had found that anything Sesshoumaru-sama did was Right and that anything he said was to be Followed Without Question. Obviously, Sesshoumaru-sama needed neither questions nor excuses; he only needed his subjects to obey his Every Word.

 

And Jaken was happy to do that.

 

Therefore, Jaken didn't mind jumping in front of the poison that shot toward Sesshoumaru-sama that some foolish youkai spat out to show that he was powerful enough to challenge The Great Sesshoumaru, or so he thought. Sesshoumaru-sama merely made a vague, slash-like gesture in its general direction and the youkai exploded anyway, and Jaken felt proud that his quick actions had given Sesshoumaru-sama the opportunity to take care of the troublesome youkai with one move.

 

As he lay on the ground and felt the poison taking over, Jaken found that dying for his Master was proving to be one of the most fulfilling accomplishments of his life. It didn't even matter that the blood in his chest was starting to fizz and sting and that he couldn't feel his hands anymore. Certainly the fact that he was suffering intense pain was of no importance. Jaken didn't mind it at all, for if he was suffering for Sesshoumaru-sama, then it was worth it.

 

Sadly, Jaken said good-bye to Sesshoumaru-sama and Rin and the world, and silently cherished that the last thing he saw was of Sesshoumaru-sama standing over him and drawing the Tenseiga, looking strong and invincible like the youkai he was.
