The Distressing Chronicles of Jaken

I was in a place I didn't recognize. It seemed like a school, but it wasn't one I had ever been to. I am a strange girl which strange things never happen to. Until today, that is.

I was apparently on office duty today. Which meant while the principal was fanning himself and wearing sunglasses at the beach, I was running papers to all the classrooms. Since the teachers were still regrettably here to teach, and probably a little tougher without the supervision of the principal, there was no good part in this little "holiday."

I had never been to or heard of such a holiday. Being the principal, I imagine I would love it. The teachers probably would, too. Supervision of the principal off their backs. But the students? Students would HATE this holiday. It wouldn't make anything easier for them. So why is it called a holiday?

"Zoe?"

"Yes?"

"I need you to run those papers on the desk up to room 159."

"Damn," I muttered under my breath.

"Sorry?"

"Right away. Anything else?"

"No, thank you."

So first I'm sent to the principal's office, next I'm sent to run an errand for… who was that anyway? Oz? This place is really starting to creep me out.

I headed to room 159, soon found it, then quietly opened the door.

The strangest sight beheld me.

"Now this class… is Jupiter." A little, short, green, SOMETHING was holding a long pointer, pointing to things on the blackboard.

"I have a question, Master Jaken."

"Yes, Tserro?"

"What does that stick with the monkey head over there do?"

"That is irrelevant to the learning atmosphere of this school!" Jaken got very angry and jumped up and down on his feet, looking as if he were above the class's... impudence.

He continued to rant for a minute or so, then resumed teaching. One more sight with the small green imp and the giant pointer was too much for me.

I burst into laughter at the door.

"Who are you?"

"I came… to. deliver… these!!!!!!!!!!!!" I gasped between bursts of laughter.

"And what is so funny?"

I couldn't take it any longer. "YOU!!!!!!!!"

My laughter drowned out the angry words, angry expression experiencing my impudence, and the jumping up and down, which of course made me laugh even harder.

For the next few minutes, I was sitting on a stool in front of the class, wearing a dunce cap that Jaken had written on in his terrible handwriting BDA STDUENDT. I could not conceal the grin on my face, of the hilarity of it all. I sat looking at all of the 7 year olds, listening intently to Jaken.

The bell finally rang, and I waited for all of the kids to leave before I got up. Jaken was talking to a little girl from the class named Rin, but I wasn't conspicuous enough to slip out unnoticed.

"Just a minute, girl!"

The sight of him yelling at me again, those angry big yellow eyes in that green face, was just hilarious. I turned my head away to keep myself from dying of laughter.

"Face me, girl!"

"I will, but please forgive me if I can't hear you through my laughter."

And the girl started laughing. Rin said,

"I can understand her view of you. I can even… agree!!!" She burst into giggles.

"Why, you insolent girl! Lord Sesshomeru will surely punish you for that," he said. He obviously hoped it was true. Yeah, he wishes…

"Of course he won't!!! Lord Sesshomeru won't punish me for disobeying any of your orders unless it's to go run for cover, and I either don't or you end up losing me!"

I could tell that Jaken knew it was so, but he still had something to say.

"You insolent girl!! Of course Lord Sesshomeru," his emphasis on this name almost made me laugh more, "would punish you. He is noble and beyond such insolence." Is that the only word he knows?

But Rin was laughing, knowing that she had won her battle.

Jaken then came up to me. I knew what was coming. More of the rants and jumping up and down. But I was wrong.

"You! Come with me! Lord Sesshomeru will deal with your…"

"Insolence." I cut him off.

He glared at me and started talking loudly and excitedly and jumping up and down. "Lord Sesshomeru would never, never tolerate…"

"Will I get another dunce cap?"

I was sure that Sesshomeru wouldn't lay a hand on me for my "insolence," not if this imp were still alive. And since he was, I felt pretty safe.

We were on our way to see Sesshomeru.

I was so used to Jaken he wasn't even funny anymore. He annoyed me immensely. Sesshomeru's name was in every sentence, and it brought sudden glow to each sentence.

"InuYasha seems to be after my lord. But Lord Sesshomeru would never take insults from a dirty, lowly, half-demon like InuYasha…"

"Rin, don't you remember? Lord Sesshomeru, as noble as he is, saved you from that demon! You should show much more gratitude toward him…"

"Yes, I do know of that incident, but Lord Sesshomeru…"

"Hey, Jaken, would you do me a favor and SHUT UP ABOUT SESSHOMERU!!"

He looked insulted and I knew what was coming.

"Lord Sesshomeru is a noble, brave, wonderful lord and to be insulted by a lowly human such as yourself…" he started jumping up and down.

I started to admire Sesshomeru. He obviously had a lot of patience, or he would have killed this imp years ago.

"Lord Sesshomeru!" My head shot up. I had been staring at my feet for most of the way. Rin was running towards a man with long white hair. He had a very cold expression on his face. He was indeed intimidating, though I still held no fear of him.

The man walked closer to us.

"Jaken, who is this girl?"

"Her?" he gave me a filthy glare. "Lord Sesshomeru, this girl is a very insolent…"

"She's very nice, Lord Sesshomeru," Rin declared.

Sesshomeru stared at Jaken. "And why did you bring her here?" He looked away. "I have no use for her. Send her away."

"But Lord Sesshomeru, this girl is very insolent. She must be punished for…"

"Heed me, Jaken."

Jaken shrank back, looking doubtful. "Yes, my lord."

He gave me another filthy glare.

"Now go! You have wasted enough of Lord Sesshomeru's time!"

Yeah, mine too, Jaken. I turned around and started walking in the other direction. It was then that I realized that I had no clue where I was going. Great. Now what would I do? Without glancing back, I walked to one of the hills that we had passed and climbed to the other side of it. Didn't want anyone spying on me.

Now where was I? It didn't seem that geographical location was the only problem. It seemed like I was in another world.

Thanks for reading, and please review! I know I'm kind of setting this up for another chapter, but I'm not sure if I'm going to add more or just keep it like this.
