When the future is here

The human was a dark miko, she had bewitched the dragon!
Also the kitsune demon! The child was infatuated by the miko’s charms.
Damn! Even Sesshomaru-sama had been hooked by the worthless female.
But not him, he was far above these foolish love voodoos. His ancestors had passed down strong protections against magic-crafters. Apparently, the time had arrived for him to use his impressive hidden powers. He had been forbidden from ever using them, but for his Lord’s future, he will ignore that pledge one-hundred times ten!
Once again his eyes fell into the target. The human was petting Ah-Un’s head fearlessly while the dragon growled his content. Since when was the beast so docile? He had trained it vigorously to protect his lord in every moment. How can it give in to this innocent façade?
Never mind the brainless beast, but what about the kitsune? Couldn’t his abilities in trickery see through her ill intents? Were the human hormones capable of affecting demon children? Awful!
Tiny hands held the wooden staff tighter. The desire to snap the woman’s neck was almost driving him insane…wait, was he being manipulated right now? No, but he needed to do something, and soon.
Filled with dread and despair, he turned to check on the Lord of the West. He was standing but a few steps from the miko, studying the beast intently. Had he discovered the woman’s witchery already?!
His heart began to beat faster when he heard his Lord growling to the beast, questioning the beast’s behavior. At least he was not the only one aware of the woman’s unnatural dominance over the beast.
He almost felt sorry when Ah-Un’s growls intensified in speed and sound. The beast was arguing with Lord Sesshomaru? It would undoubtedly be its last offense against the Lord of the West.
A laugh escaped the toad demon when his Lord turned to him. Finally his lord had come to ask him to dispose of the miko! Somehow he hoped his lord would be merciful and allow Ah-Un to live, he will personally make sure to re-train the dragon.
“Jaken,” acknowledged Sesshomaru, his voice as pristine as his royal garments.
“Yes, milord!”
“You will go to the Western Castle.”
Jaken turned to look at the oblivious miko, kitsune and beast. “Why?”
“You will prepare the room next to my chambers. The miko is now under this Sesshomaru’s protection.”
