My Honor
By Jaken
Oh, I am so proud to be a retainer of Lord Sesshomaru-sama. It is impossible to find one as perfect as him. He treats me so very well. After all, I am the one who always serves him faithfully— no matter what!
So how faithful am I? I have tested Lord Sesshomaru-sama's Tenseiga after all. He slashed right though me, and I lived. Lord Sesshomaru-sama knew I would be all right, even if he never said it! I am so important to him he even saved my life when I was killed buy the Toujikin.
Everyone by now should know about Lord Sesshomaru-sama's newest companion, Rin. He must care a little about her, even if she is a human. If she got hurt Lord Sesshomaru-sama would never forgive me. He always trusts me to watch her, so he has a very high opinion of me. Why would he not, I have all the power of fire in my staff of heads! Oh, Lord Sesshomaru-sama must think I am stronger than his brother, Inuyasha! Oh, he respects me so much!
I am the best retainer there is, I am quite respected. I commanded my own legion of demons, but Lord Sesshomaru-sama was so graceful I knew I should follow him. And he enjoyed having me with him so much. He also says so many nice things to me. Of course, he can scare me too. If you were ever to see him smile— it is frightening, that is usually when I have done something to make him furious! Of course as his retainer I can always soothe his wrath.
"Jaken!" called Sesshomaru.
"Oh yes m'lord?" Oh I am so lucky to be find another task!
"Where is Rin?"
"Um. . " I looked behind me. She was gone! It was too late— I was grounded into the ground by Lord Sesshomaru-sama's boot. Then Rin appeared from behind a tree with arms full of flowers!
"It was a surprise Lord Sesshomaru!" She smiled.
Most things are like this, but I am Lord Sesshomaru-sama's favorite. I have been with him always. He is never hard on me.
Lord Sesshomaru-sama is the most powerful youkai in the land. He can easily defeat any human, hanyou, or youkai. His brother does not even come close to his power. Lord Sesshomaru-sama always defeats Inuyasha, quickly and gracefully. How praised I am to watch Lord Sesshomaru-sama fight. Yes, being a retainer to m'lord is the best gift in my life, I am lucky to hear so much praise and nice things from Lord Sesshomaru-sama. After all, he is so graceful and so kind to me. It is my honor to serve Lord of the Western Lands, Lord Sesshomaru-sama.
