Jacklyn Box POV

The night was half over and I was beyond bored, I took off to float in the air above. An idea popped into my head, if I wanted to really find out the answer I could easily try and figure it out myself.

"Hyeah, hyeah, hyeah. Let's see how far your humour will go Lord Shishinki!"

Lord Shishinki POV

I wandered around in the forest, why I wasn't very sure yet, but something felt off. "Where's Jacklyn Box?" The servant looked almost to pleased at the question. "She left Master, she said she didn't need to waster her time on a defeated Demon Lord." It seemed strange, something didn't fit but I just don't know! I growled in frustration as I looked around once again, seeing absolutely nothing. The wait for my revenge the new situation with Jacklyn all seemed to pile up in a vicious storm of thoughts. A strange smell began to float around in the air, it was sweet. Mouthwatering even, something I have never experienced before. I tried to find the source but it was coming from all directions. So caught up in the smell I barely had time to noticed the pink and blue mist thickening around me.

"Dammit, what is this? Show yourself you cowardly demon!"

I stood ready, my staff tight in my grasp. I was ready to send the ignorant rat to hell the moment they showed their face! The colourful cloud thickened and thickened and soon enough, all my senses failed to work. I couldn't even hear my own footsteps. A dark chuckle could be heard, it was something that felt very familiar, but at this point in time, my mission was to find the threat and eliminate it. A deep threatening growl emitted from my clenched teeth as I gave out a final warning. The clouds began to lift away and vanish. I kept my now working senses to their peak and as I searched the wooded area I found a large wooden box with red and yellow patterns. It was something I have never seen before.

"What the hell is going on?"

A glowing talisman caught my eye and I walked over close enough to read it but far enough in case it was a trap. Something felt terribly wrong in this situation, I wasn't enjoying this at all.

"Spin me around, hear my sound."

I narrowed my eye at the box. What is it? Where did it come from? Wh-... He stopped himself and turned around and began to walk away, I don't need anything to compromise this, I refuse to miss my chance for my revenge!

"How dare you walk away from me Shishinki!"

My eye open wide and I twirled around to see non other than Inu no Taisho broken out of the strange box.

"Wha- What? You're dead!"

"Like someone of my power can actually die! Fool!"

He charged at me with the very same sword that I remember him using so many years ago.

"Impossible! This is a trick! I know you're dead!"

I blocked the sword with my staff. Everything about him, it was all the same. I scowled to myself as I stared at him with my one eye left.

"You plan on killing my son because you failed! You don't deserve to be called a demon! You're pathetic!"

"Shut up you mutt! You're the one who went and got himself killed! I'll kill you myself, this is perfect!"

"At least I'm a man!"

Metal versus metal sung in the forest, I danced around blocking, the massive strikes he sent at me. Deja Vu hung in the air like a wet blanket. I jumped back to send Meidou at him which he easily dodged. Blow after blow I sent toward him, it was futile, he was too fast.

"Wind Scar!"

Large yellow streams rushed toward me, tearing up everything in it's path. I jumped in the air sending the strikes to hell.

"I refuse to be defeated by you again!"

"You've only grown weak with your hate and revenge. You will once again fall to your own technique."

I glared at him as his golden eyes shifted to crimson and back. Tsh, something is up and I will find out! I jumped out of the way of a large Meidou, sending another to suck it up. This is ridiculous, this shouldn't be happening. Is this really what's meant to happen? Hn, no, I will prevail. I've waited so many years! To get the chance to fight him personally is perfect.

"What's wrong Shishinki? You seem out of focus!"

"On the contrary! I'm perfectly fine!"

I charged at him with a grin on my face, the tip of my staff made contact with his armour causing him to jump back where I sent a barrage of Meidou at him. He just barely managed to dodge as pieces of his armour were sucked into the portal. There's no way I will lose this time. A familiar laugh echoed through my head. A very familiar and yet very annoying laugh. My stomach pulled, no matter what I have to get through this. I still have questions to ask.

"You're getting old Dog Demon."

"You're only still a pup I see."

He came at me with great speed, swiping a large claw with a ferocious growl. I glared at him as he left slashes through my armour. His right eye seemed to turn crimson.

"Who are you really?"

"Don't be stupid!"

I stopped pointing my staff at the man, staring oddly at the different colour eyes. With a toothy grin on his face he jumped up, flames covered his sword and he flew down at me, I jumped out of the way, part of my outfit getting singed in the process.

"Why do you hold this grudge Shishinki?"

"If you have to ask, you don't deserve to know!"

His anger flared and his golden eyes were crimson, his left eye actually began to flicker from colours. Something felt strange, surreal almost. Something told me even if I fought, nothing would happen. I know for a fact this man is dead, if he were back or brought back there would have been rumours.

"Well what are you waiting for?"

"Ha! You're as arrogant as ever Shishinki."

He charged at me with a toothy grin and I stood there, my arms at my side. My face did not really show what I wanted it too, but it was stern nevertheless. A smirk crossed my face, she really has put an impact on me.

"I'll just go on a whim."

I felt a sharp pain, his sword met my torso, cutting into me slightly but didn't move any further. Both his eyes were a solid crimson now. I sort of expected this but it still surprised me that the sword didn't pierced right through my heart.

"Who are you really?"

The body began to shiver and shrink, a new form taking place, a new facial expression was in place of those crimson eyes. It was... hate, and anger. Her brows were pushed together in frustration and her teeth clenched in aggravation. Her katana stuck in my armour as she floated to my height.

"So this is you're power, you play tricks with people's mind. A joke to you right? This is the skill of a jester demon."

"I don't just play tricks on their mind..." Her voice was bitter and cold. "I consume their bodies, feeling the things they do and using them against them. I become a nightmare. I use their fears and weaknesses against them while feeling everything inside them. Sometimes I go as far as to reading their minds."

"Which is due to the smoke that you force the victim to inhale correct?"

She yanked the sword out of me and put it blindly back into the sheath. Her bangs and hat seemed to shadow her face. It wasn't long before the sun was going to come up and I noticed the ripped material on her chest. It showed as just a light scratch to armour as the Dog Demon, but really she took the whole hit... She really puts her life on the line using this technique.

"Why did you leave?"

"If you don't know you truly are stupid."

I began to worry, she hasn't let out a laugh since her technique vanished. My worry turned to annoyance as she turned to walk away from me. I let out a scowl.

"You wanted to help me than you just leave. What the hell kind of whim is that?"

"It wasn't a whim, it was a reason, one you can't understand. Now piss off or my next attack won't stop."

Her voice was no longer the calm sweet sound it used to be, it was bitter and filled with hatred, it was something that was very out of character to her.

"I see."

I had no reason to stop her, nothing but this feeling in my stomach that wanted me to run up and punch her in the face. I turned and began to walk away, I should be waiting for Sesshomaru to show up. That wasn't my style though, I can't just change my whole being for some random demon. It's as bad as that stupid dog falling for that human.

Jacklyn Box POV

I stared at the ground in front of me my fist shaking. After more than a few decades my walls and barricades were destroyed in a measly couple of days. I thought I was free,that I could finally be my own demon. I waited until I knew he was gone before I crouched down hugging my knees. It's better to just leave him now, than I still have a chance of being free. I hope. "I'll just go on a whim." The worst part of it all... It's not just the enchantment of being a jester pulling me back, I'm my own enemy in this.

"You're a very bad joke Jacklyn Box, a very bad joke indeed."
