You manage to pull yourself to your knees, tears in your eyes. You'd never begged for anything before… there had never been a need to, but now you look up into that icy stare.
'Please, is there nothing I can do or say?' You don't care that your begging any pride you had evaporated inn the presence of those claws, others said they were poisonous and you didn't doubt it. He came nearer, time had slowed and you just kept praying inside your head to any god that would listen whilst continuing to whisper 'please'.
He was standing over you now… you could feel the heat from his body but you eyes never left his.
'Is there no test I can take, no magic?'
His eyes never leaving yours he called out a name unfamiliar to you, 'Jaken'
Minutes dragged on, he continued to stare into your eyes, you tried to stop your body shaking…
The door opened and your heart leapt, was this your salvation?
In walked a creature, it was small and froglike you weren't sure what to make of it.'
'This is another of my 'servants'' sesshomaru announced. I'm sure he can tell if you're telling the truth.
It says it's human Jaken But we know it's not'
'Please save me Jaken'you address the creature now, hoping to arouse some sense of pity.
'If it's not a demon master then it is indeed a good actor'.
Jaken left the room and you were once again left alone with sesshomaru. 'I'll soon have proof that your telling the truth demon, I should kill you now, but let it not be said by the idiot servants in this place that I kill without reason.'
You knelt there in silence, just watching him
It took 5 minutes for Jaken to return, holding a strange device.
'This should show its lying. I don't understand why you don't just kill it.'
Jaken knelt besides you tentatively, as if expecting an attack…apparently he didn't trust your appearance just like sesshomaru.
He reached out and took hold of your arm, you were nervous but made no sudden movements, your new master could kill you almost instantly; it was for the same reason you didn't scream or jerk your arm away when you felt a sharp needle like thing pierce your skin. You never took you eyes from sesshomaru's. Jaken began to speak. His words were slow and clear. 'ARE YOU A DEMON?'
'No' you reply steadily. The interrogation considered for sometime, your arm burnt and your head swam but you gaze remained steady and you remained truthful.
When it was over Jaken looked at something out of your line of site, then at sesshomaru.
'She thinks she's telling the truth master, about all of it.'
Sesshomaru looked at Jaken and nodded, 'leave us' he commanded. Jaken obeyed and again you were left alone in a room with this mad demon who thought you weren't human.
