Toad is a Delicacy
Suddenly, Jaken was shaken out of his pensive pose with a delicate
tap to his shoulder. He groaned audibly, and turned around to the
grinning child. She unceremoniously shoved food into his face.
"Jaken-sama," she offered. "Want some?"
Jaken observed the object obstructing his view. His eyes widened in
horror at the dead animal roughly impaled on a knobby stick.
It was quite treacherous. The poor toad never had a chance.
"Do you like cooked frog? Sesshoumaru-sama found it, and I caught
it!" Her face was enraptured in overbearing pride.
Jaken shivered, feeling sudden empathy for it, which was probably
just some innocent woodland toad. His stomach retched as he pondered
the possible family tie he had to this creature, whether it was a
youkai or not.
Suddenly, a vision imprinted his brain of Lord Sesshoumaru shoving a
skewer through him and twirling his carcass over a raging fire as
the human brat danced for her meal.
His forehead began to sweat.
Rin noticed his distress, and asked innocently, "What's the matter,
Jaken-sama? Did you know him? Was he your cousin?"
Jaken paled, toppling onto the ground in unabashed astonishment.
Sesshoumaru, somewhat listening to them, cocked an amused brow.
