Prov 37: Dirty Laundry
Title: Come Away
Author: Sensei
Words: 350
Rating: G
Characters: Jaken and a surprise visitor from the second star to the right, then straight on 'til morning
Author's Note: I've become obsessed with the idea of Peter Pan crossover fic, bringing him into Kuroshitsuji and now Inuyasha. Hope it's actually funny.
Jaken sat at the river's edge, sighing as he held up the wet mass of Sesshoumaru's blood-spattered hakama. He had been scrubbing for what seemed like hours and the worst of the stains would just not come clean. His eyes welled as he flung the garment into the water. How did he end up becoming laundry boy, anyway? He was a warrior…or at least the devoted vassal of a warrior. Why didn't Sesshoumaru use the worthless girlchild for such demeaning duties? There she sat, singing little nonsense songs by the campfire and eating fish he had caught, while he slaved on. He would follow his Lord to the ends of the earth, but this was simply unfair! Was there no hope for escape from such drudgery?
Looking to the starry skies in dismay, he gasped in slack-jawed surprise as a mortal boy hurtled from the heavens, a glowing trail behind him. He wore a strange short green robe and a feather in an odd little cap. "O ho!" he cried, landing nimbly beside Jaken. "It is I, Peter Pan, come to take you, poor forsaken boy, off to Neverland! Come away!" he chirruped, holding out a pale hand. "Just a little pixie dust and together we'll go to the island of the Lost Boys where everyone stays young and plays all day!"
Jaken scratched his head, unable to understand the strange boy's alien speech. In a flash, the creature's true plan was exposed as he tossed some magical sparkling substance over Jaken's head. The little youkai deftly dodged the luminous spray and grasped his Staff of Heads. He commanded forth fire and watched his enemy screech with fright then rise into the sky, flying away as fast as his burning behind would take him.
With great pride, Jaken ran to tell his Lord of his conquest. How lucky it was after all that he was at the riverbed! Surely this was Sesshoumaru's plan all along, to make Jaken the first line of defense! And a true warrior he had proved himself, singlehandedly repelling the terrible sparkling creature known as "Pi-ta-pan"!
