Summary Sesshoumaru attends the naming day of Rin and Jaken's first child
He could not bring himself to attend the mating. The very idea of Rin mating Jaken was beyond the pale. What on earth possessed her to do such an idiotic thing? Now that mating had produced offspring. He shuddered to think of what hideous beings had been produced by their coupling.
He should have been paying more attention, but that was why he left Rin in the care of the old miko. The miko was there to make sure that Rin remained innocent until she was ready to make her choice whether to follow him or remain in the human world.
It never would have occurred to him that she would follow Jaken instead. Jaken was what? The ineffectual flunky who was always underfoot. The fool who was there to carry the staff of two heads. The hanger-on who was always making a mess of mokomoko-sama.
When did he and Rin even have time to develop a relationship? When they had been fighting Naraku he left Rin with Ah-Un and Jaken to guard her, but once the fighting was over Jaken followed him again leaving Rin in the human village protected by the miko.
His first thought had been to kill the miko, but his new found compassion made him unable to rip to shreds the feeble old hag who was nearly seventy. Obviously she had not been keeping an eye out for Rin.
His next target was Inuyasha. The idiotic half-breed should have detected any tete-a-tete between Rin and Jaken. It was his mate who had gushed about love and romance conquering all when the news about Jaken and Rin spilled from her lips.
He had wanted to shut her mouth, but Inuyasha had intervened to save her. It was only Rin's intervention that saved him. He could not raise his hand against anyone that Rin wanted to save. So he waited until she left to punish Inuyasha for his misdeeds.
Today he had come for naming day of Rin and Jaken's first child Rin squealed when she saw the outfit he provided for her newborn. Rin thanked Lord Sesshoumaru for all the gifts he had bestowed on her. As if he would allow her and her children to live in squalor.
Rin and Jaken followed him outside to see him off. She bowed and thanked him again. Jaken cringed in fear knowing that someday when Rin was not around his life would be forfeit. Lord Sesshoumaru simply stared blankly at them.
There were many things he wanted to say. Many things he wanted to do. Those words were on the tip of his tongue, but he could not say them. Always before Jaken had been there to vent his anger
Now that Jaken was with Rin, he had no one on whom he could take his frustrations. Always Jaken had been there to kick and stomp on. Only Inuyasha angered him more than Jaken. A smile crept across his lips Inuyasha would never know what hit him.
