Mushrooms


Jaken groaned and looked to the ceiling of the little room he was occupying. He was pretty sure that Lord Sesshomaru and the little girl who was his ward weren't waiting for him.

After all, he was in this room for at least an hour now.

He groaned and closed his eyes. He shifted in his position a little so his poor leg muscles could relax a bit.

Then he groaned and tensed when a wave went down his body.

Stupid girl. Stupid him for not telling her which ones weren't for humans to eat and just eating them out of her basket, leaving only the safe mushrooms in there for her to cook later.

He had thought about throwing the bad mushrooms away, but had feared that she could find them, since she had been running around in circles around their little camp.

She had been so happy, showing him all the findings before putting them in her basket. He, a powerful youkai worthy of being Lord Sesshomaru's retainer, could easily handle the lethal for humans poison.

Another tidal wave went down his body, leaving him with a sound and a cloud of gas that would easily knock out an oni.

The little 'temple of solitude' shook when a youkai howled inside. A human passing nearby prayed and quickened his pace, not wanting to see what was haunting the wooden structure and creating the cloud of miasma around it.
