Confidant

 

Jaken was having a Very Bad Day, for Sesshoumaru-sama had refused his hair combing session with him in favor of watching Rin spin around in circles on the grass. And Sesshoumaru-sama hadn't even noticed Jaken running into the forest, tears pouring out of his eyes.

 

However, Jaken's demise was rudely interrupted when he bumped into a human woman.

 

“Ouch!” Jaken cried, rubbing his head. “Get out of my way, human!”

 

And of course, it just had to be a human none other than the miko Kikyou. Damn his luck.

 

“I think you should be getting out of my way, youkai,” Kikyou replied, coldly. “And what are you doing out here anyway?”

 

Jaken's lip quivered, and even though it really wasn't her business, he couldn't help but spill it all out. By the time he'd realized what he was doing, he found Kikyou nodding at his woes of love and providing some of her own. She was an unexpected confidant, but a good one nevertheless.

 

“I mean, when I say `I want you to go down to hell with me,' am I really saying `I want you to die'?” Kikyou bemoaned.

 

Jaken thought about it and decided, “Yes.”

 

“Exactly,” Kikyou exclaimed. “I love him so much that when I die, I want him to be with me. How much more romantic can you get? But no, Inuyasha just hear the death part and goes running back to that other girl. Talk about shallow.”

 

“My lovely Sesshoumaru-sama only sees my loyalty as a requirement of servitude, which it is, but he doesn't see that my loyalty also comes from love!” Jaken wailed.

 

“Why is the world so blind?”

 

“At least we found each other,” Jaken comforted, patting her shoulder.

 

Kikyou placed a hand on his and gave a rare smile. They stared into the each other's eyes.

 

“At least we found each other,” Kikyou echoed, moving closer and closer until they discovered other things as well.
