If He's Needed

 

Myouga wasn't sure if he wanted to go through with it. After all, there were many scary things out there in the world, things he was sure would do their best to squish or deflate his little body should he happen to encounter them. But Myouga knew that Inuyasha-sama depended on him, even if he never actually said so and kept denying it whenever Myouga brought up the subject, and for this, Myouga decided to swallow his fears.

 

He took a breath and prepared himself to do his duty.

Just as he was about to send the currently attacking youkai into oblivion, Inuyasha lowered his sword arm to slap at his neck.

 

“Go away Myouga!” Inuyasha yelled at the squished blob on his palm. “Can't you see I'm busy?!”

 

“Inuyasha-sama!” Myouga called. “I'm so glad to see you! I braved so many terrors and dangers to reach you. Even now, I am perfectly in danger, yet I told myself, `Inuyasha-sama needs me!' And so I came, despite the terrors and the life-threatening dangers!”

 

“What do you want?”

 

“I am here to—”

 

“Let me take care of this youkai first…” Inuyasha's eyes widened. “Where did the youkai go? You distracted me!”

 

“You lost the youkai? Allow me to assist you in finding it Inuyasha-sama!”

 

“No! Crap!”

 

“Oh good, the youkai just moved behind you! Good thing you had me here with you!”

Even, Myouga reflected later, if Inuyasha-sama didn't voice his appreciation of Myouga's courage, the attacking youkai was quite fearsome in his opinion, at least he proved that he could go into the face of danger if he ever was needed, which hopefully wouldn't be often. One day's worth of courage was enough for him.
