Summary: Part 51 of Jaken's Ballad.
With thoughts of his family weighing heavily on his mind, Jaken found it all but impossible to sleep, finally giving up before dawn. Deciding that keeping himself busy would keep his mind off of them, plus being ready to go early would get him extra points with Lord Sesshoumaru, Jaken figured it would be a good idea to have his breakfast now and set out to accomplish that goal.
It was not long before he discovered that with the changing of the season, most of the fruit trees that he would have gathered from just a few days before, were now completely bare. Huffing to himself in annoyance, Jaken turned his attention away from the high ground and began to search for a lake nearby. Much to his relief, as he could already see the first rays of the sun peaking over the mountain and knowing it would mean Sesshoumaru would be stirring soon, Jaken managed to find suitable lake and quickly caught his breakfast.
Plopping himself down on a large boulder out in the middle of the lake, Jaken began to swing his feet over the edge, the tips of his toes barely able to reach the water, causing ripples to fan out around him. As he watched the ripples fleeing further away from his place upon the boulder, Jaken began to munch on the freshly caught breakfast in his hands, smirking slightly to himself as other fish began to swim to the surface and nibble at his toes.
