Summary:
Why does his lord always leave him behind?
Jaken once despised being left behind by his master, but a small child, wise beyond her years, tried to comfort him.
"Don't worry, Jaken-sama," Rin said, patting his back. "Our Lord would not leave us if he knew we would not be here when he returned."
The kappa was ashamed when he realized he was not being disgraced by abandonment. Sesshoumaru-sama had complete faith in his integrity and loyalty, giving Jaken the benefit of the doubt and seeking him out even when he had managed to disappear. Jaken was certain there could be no greater compliment than his Lord's trust.
