How the Mighty Have Fallen

 

Jaken felt like weeping. How had his mighty inu-youkai lord been reduced to this? How had he fallen so far? His cherished Sesshoumaru-sama was…playing tea party!

 

It all began when Rin asked him to play her ridiculous game. Ha! As if the Great Jaken would lower himself to participating in such foolishness! Unfortunately, when he told her that she started to cry, and Sesshoumaru shot him a glare that made him fear for his life. Apparently swayed by the teary-eyed lass, the taiyoukai offered to play her game. The change in Rin was instantaneous; she went from sad to hyper-happy in the blink of an eye.

 

Now Jaken found himself wishing that his master had just killed him. To watch Sesshoumaru stoop to such indignity! And worse, his lord demanded that he, the Great Jaken join the game as well!

 

“Do you like your tea, Jaken-sama?” the little girl asked. Jaken nearly growled at her. What tea, you simpleton? Even the blasted cups are make-believe! But he valued his life, so he bit his tongue. The Kamis only knew what Sesshoumaru would do to him if he made Rin cry again. So, swallowing his pride, he managed a small nod.

 

“What about you, Sesshoumaru-sama? Do you like Rin's tea?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“Yes, what?”

 

“Yes, this Sesshoumaru likes Rin's tea.”

 

“How much do you like it?” she inquired, holding her hand about a foot above the ground. “This much?” Then she held her arm above her head, her hand as far from the ground as it would go from her kneeling position. “Or thiiiiiiiiiis much?” Sesshoumaru hesitated, and Jaken held his breath.

 

“This Sesshoumaru likes Rin's tea thiiiiiiiiiis much,” he said, holding his hand above his head. Jaken collapsed forward, suddenly feeling dizzy. Oh, the indignity!

 

“Alright, good sirs, that will be four ryo, please,” the devil girl's chipper voice rang out. Jaken scoffed; as if the mighty Lord Sesshoumaru had any use for human currency!

 

“This Sesshoumaru does not have any money, Rin.”

 

“Alright, then I will take my payment in a kiss.” Jaken gasped and stared at the scene in horror. Rin turned her head to the side, demurely presenting her cheek to her lord and batting her pretty eyelashes. And her lord was leaning closer, appearing as if he was actually going to bestow a kiss upon the girl's cheek! No, Sesshoumaru-sama! Don't do it!

 

*smooch*

 

Rin covered her rosy cheeks, grinning shyly. And was that a dusting of pink on Sesshoumaru-sama's nose? Jaken officially wanted to die. How had his once-mighty lord master fallen so far? Maybe he would go join Inuyasha's group. At least the half-breed wasn't completely at the heel of some female!

 

 

A/N - Oh, the mental images… I love torturing Sesshoumaru! This piece was inspired by the nice participation banner Mod-sama made for us, and my brain was very grateful for the kick start.
