Disclaimer: I own InuYasha. Sue me; I have a $30 camera, an expensive five dollar watch, and a 30 cent pen, bring it on.

A/N I had this story brewing in my head for about three days before I decided to write it down. Its a bit, um, R-rated for violence and other, um, stuff, right... Want a hint? The word I'm thinking of to describe it begins with a 'd' and ends with a 'c'. Think hard. Anyway, here it is:

"I know he's my master, and his I servant, but why the hell must he be so cruel to me?!" ponders Jaken, who is sitting next to Sesshomaru. Both are floating down a river in a boat.

"Jaken, when we reach that old hag's village, you know what to do, right?" asks Sesshomaru.

"Y-yes lord Sesshomaru," stutters Jaken, "I distract that half- breed brother of yours while you kidnap that woman who is in his company"

"Right, and don't screw up this time," mutters the demon.

"B-but lord Sesshomaru! Last time was an accident, I didn't do that on purpose!" responds Jaken, cowering at the sound of Sesshomaru's threatening tone of voice.

"It doesn't matter now, we failed to eliminate Sango and Miroku," replies Jaken's master, "next time they won't be so lucky..." The boat draws near to a small human settlement. Sesshomaru and Jaken step off the boat and walk towards the settlement. Armed men approach them with spears readied.

"Who are you? What business do you have here?" asks one of the guards in a demanding voice. The village people look in wonder before realizing the danger and running for their wooden houses. Jaken steps forward with his staff. The shrunken head of the old man spews fire that consumes the armed guards. Sesshomaru steps over the charred grass and walks into the center of the village.

Sesshomaru calls the villagers hiding in their wood huts, "I only want food, bring me this and I might spare some of your village." He and Jaken walk towards the first hut. "Go ahead Jaken, they don't seem to be cooperating," Sesshomaru tells Jaken. Jaken steps forth with the staff and burns the wooden hut to cinders, killing all inside within seconds. They proceed to do this to the next hut as well, burning it to the ground when no one responds, and then a third, and a fourth. Finally, someone comes out and cries before Sesshomaru's feet, begging for mercy.

"Please! Spare our village! We will give you whatever you need just please spa-," the man is cut off by Jaken's fire.

"WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?" yells Sesshomaru, looking at Jaken with what might be considered surprise.

"S-sorry lord S-sesshomaru, I must have slipped, I'm sure someone else will come out soon enough," stuttered Jaken, cowering away from Sesshomaru, afraid of what he may do to him.

"Insolent pest," he mutters to himself, "fine, let's continue then." The two proceed to the next hut and burn it down, no one comes out of there hut. They go to the next hut, and burn it down as well, and the next one, and the next one, until they have burnt the entire village, except one hut. The go to the hut. Sesshomaru stops Jaken before he burns it, he looks inside, nobody is inside of it. He walks in and finds a small grain sack and a bottle of alcohol. Sesshomaru looks at Jaken with daggers in his eyes. "If you hadn't burnt that villager we might have had some FOOD!" yells Sesshomaru, bringing his claws to bear on Jaken.

"B-b-but lord Sesshomaru! I didn't mean to-," stutters Jaken, before he is cut off by the enraged demon.

"QUIET!!! I WILL TEACH YOU NOT TO MAKE MISTAKES LIKE THAT!!!" roars the demon, slowly walking towards Jaken, with a sinister and evil look on his face.

Oh no, what will Sesshomaru do? Doesn't anyone feel remorse for Jaken? What will happen next!? Too bad! You'll have to wait till I write up the next chapter! (I suck at the ending A/Ns)
