Summary: Part 29 of Jaken's Ballad.
As Sesshoumaru turned and began heading away from where Jaken stood, he couldn't help but second guess his decision to follow the demon lord. But even as he thought the young one's ambitions might be more than he could handle, Jaken knew it would not bode well for him to be on a side opposing him when he did take over Japan.
And he knew he eventually would. Anything the demon lord set his mind too, Jaken knew it would not be long before it had come to pass. He was simply in a class of his own and Jaken doubted there was anything, anyone in the world that could possibly stop him. Deciding it would be far better to be standing behind the future ruler of land, rather than someone who deserted him, Jaken quickly raced to catch up with him.
It was the lesser of the two evils for Jaken and, perhaps if he was lucky enough, his lord might change his mind and not really want to rule all of the land. And even if he didn't, even if he really did defeat the other demon lords and became the emperor of Japan, Jaken couldn't think of anyone better for the job. Nodding his head in agreement to his final decision, the smaller demon fell in step behind his lord as they settled into a comfortable silence.
