Summary: Part 30 of Jaken's Ballad.
The moment they stepped within the guarded walls of Sesshoumaru's ancestral home, Jaken knew trouble was afoot. He did not need a dog demon's enhanced sight or sense of smell to know that danger lurked behind every corner. His lord had said 'there are those that believe me unworthy', but Jaken felt as though there were none left on his side, other than himself of course.
As they walked through the large, crudely carved out halls, obviously made by and for dog demons in their natural form, Jaken had to suppress the urge to shiver. He could feel the unseen eyes glaring at him from within the shadows and turned toward Sesshoumaru seeking an answer. “Ignore them, they are simply the scavenger demons.
“They can sense there will soon be a battle and wish to feed on the loser. As long as you are alive, you have no need to fear them for you are not appetizing in your current state. Once you are dead, it will no longer matter if they feed from your flesh,” Sesshoumaru explained, already having expected them to be waiting upon his return. The assurances did little to ease Jaken's worry and he picked up his speed to try and match his lord, hoping to be out of the hall as soon as it was possible.
“The war shall begin in a moment. Do not lift a sword and you shall live to see the end. They will not attack any they do not believe to be part of the battle,” Sesshoumaru warned as he stopped before a set of large, heavy doors. Seeing Jaken's nod of understanding, Sesshoumaru began to transform into his true form before ramming into the doors and shattering them off of their hinges.
