Sesshoumaru's Pet

"And so Hojo-kun swallowed the shard that Kagome-sama had hidden in the rice bun so that her mother would not see it and the next time she came through the well, Hojo followed her and tripped on a stair and ended up with us!" Rin chanted the little tale as if it truly made sense. Perhaps, to her, it did.

Hojo nodded as he lay at Sesshoumaru's feet. The demon possessively drew long, elegant claws through his hair. What matter how he came to be the prized pet of the Lord of the Western Lands? While Rin was yet far too young to claim and his brother was now too grown to take easily, this one sufficed. More than sufficed, if truth be told. He was decorative in his short robe and slave's collar, and he took cock as if he was born for it. Mouth or ass, his pet was always ready, had taken the gift of his noble shaft perfectly from the very first encounter. He grew hard just thinking of it.

"Rin," Sesshoumaru said in his customary quiet, even tone. "Fetch us a wreath of flowers to adorn our pet."

"Yes, Sesshoumaru-sama!" Rin tittered, always eager to play with Hojo as her Lord permitted. She quickly skipped out of sight.

"Join her," he commanded to the sullen Jaken, who long dreamed of the kind of ecstasy he knew his Lord gave to this pitiful mortal in his service. But then, he still received his regular beatings, so he knew he still ranked high in his Lord's life, and rose to chase Rin down as he called her name.

"And while she is away," Sesshoumaru continued, tipping Hojo's innocent face up with a claw, "let us put our time to good use." He reached into his hakama and brought out his pet's favorite toy.

Hojo beamed. Life was perfect.
