Loyalty
What had he ever done to deserve this?
Hadn't he always been loyal? Hadn't he always served humbly, faithfully, one step to the side and behind his master, repaying the trust the master had shown him? Wasn't he youkai, like the master, though never considering him to be anything approaching equal?
Jaken peeped one more time through the window, staff clutched tight in his tiny green hands. The hanyou-turned-human and his miko wench were engaged in some kind of wrestling match on the bed. Perhaps they'd finally been driven to do violence upon one another?
One could only hope.
