For the Love of My Rose Hime
Fifty-second Rose: Jaken's Advice
by Nikkie23534
Later that night...
It had been a very long day. The tension in the Takeuchi household, after Sesshomaru came home, was very thick. Other than their somewhat tense greeting, that afternoon. Sesshomaru and InuYasha had avoided each other entirely. He spending his time in his private study, not ready to face his wife just yet. She spending her time with Rin and Jaken, looking over all the changes that had taken place in her absence.
While she was staying with the Fujimatas, a lot of changes were made at the mansion. Banisters was added to the front steps. So, Gram would have something to hold onto, while she walked up into the house. In addition to that, handle bars were also added to the bathrooms. A chair was placed on a ramp at the bottom of the stairs. At the push of a button, it glided along the side of the staircase. This was so Kaede could go up and down, on her own. Which Rin just had to demonstrate for her, showing her 'mama' how it was supposed to work.
Because Touga was out for the evening, dinner was a very somber affair. Sensing the uneasiness between her parents, Rin tried to bring some life to the room. She talked about her day at school. How a boy in class was caught playing a prank on the teacher. How his parents had to come to school, and stay for the rest of the day! InuYasha and Sesshomaru listened, half heartily. The rest of the meal past quietly. After dinner, Jaken came to clear the dishes. "Sesshomaru Sama, Miss Yasha, would either of you like some more coffee? Maybe some dessert?"
Sess stands, "no, I'm done." Looking at Yasha, he simply said, "I still have some work that needs my attention. I might be up late." When she nods in understanding, he stands and walks over to Rin's chair and bent down to kiss the child's forehead. "Goodnight, My little one. I'll see you in the morning."
"Goodnight daddy. Love you!" The girl says, hugging his neck tightly.
"I love you more, little one." He hugged his daughter briefly, sparing another glance in his wife's direction. Without another word, he walks out of the dining room.
Jaken turns to Yasha and Rin. "Miss Yasha, Little Miss, would either of you care for anything?" InuYasha shook her head then she turned to Rin. A soft smile spread over her face, when she saw Rin rubbing her eyes and yawn.
"No, Jaken, Rin and I are done as well." Standing, she helps Rin down from her chair; and they start for the stairs. She turns to Jaken and smiles. "Dinner was excellent, Jaken, thank you and good night."
Blushing from the compliment, he smiled and bowed to InuYasha. "Your welcome. Good night, Miss Yasha and Little Miss. Oh, and Miss Yasha...welcome home." Yasha nodded, then turned and walked out hand in hand with Rin. Stopping at the foot of the stairs, InuYasha paused glancing at the closed door to the library. Once again she wondered, if they would ever be able to put their marriage back on track. She feels a tugging on her sleeve. Looking down, she finds herself gazing into sleepy bronze colored orbs. "What's wrong, mama," Rin asked.
Bending down, Yasha caressed then kissed Rin's cheek. "Nothing, sweetheart. Nothing at all." She assured the child, picking her up, she carries her up the stairs. They went to Rin's room, making plans on what they were going to do the next day.
Alone in the Library...
Sesshomaru lounged on the dark leather couch. One arm draped over his eyes, as he held a glass of bourbon in his other hand. 'Now what do I do.' He wonders to himself, slowly sipping his drink. 'I wanted her to come home. I was even going to go and get her today. Only to find her here and waiting for me! And what do I do? Instead of taking her aside and to talking to with her, like I planned. I run and I sit my ass in here all day! Fuck! I couldn't even bring myself to face her at dinner!' Standing, he walks to his desk and picks up the picture. 'Coward!' Echoes through his mind. Staring at her beautiful face, he traces her features with his finger. "Hn, Yasha. What are we going to do, my love? What indeed." A sudden knock on the door startles him, and he sits the picture down. "Enter." The door opens and in walks Jaken, carrying a tray with coffee. Frowning, Sess watches him set the cup of black liquid on the desk. "What's this, Jaken? I told you, I'm busy. I neither want, nor need any coffee." He downs his drink, turns and goes to bar to pour another. When he turns back around, he is surprised to see a now scowling Jaken, staring at him.
"So I see, Sesshomaru sama." Says the older man, his eyes assessing the younger man, in disappointment. "Hard at work on your new station, as a budding alcoholic, young master?"
Narrowing his eyes, Sess sits down at his desk and scowling at him. Not able to take the older man's staring any longer, Sesshomaru grits his teeth and warns. "If you have something on your mind, Jaken, I suggest you say it and leave!"
Jaken stares at him a few minutes more, then walks up to him. When he is standing beside the Sesshomaru, he bows and says, "Forgive me, young master." Then he raised his hand, and smacks Sesshomaru in the back of the head...HARD!
At first Sesshomaru is too stunned to say anything. But, he quickly recovers. Grabbing the old retainer by the lapels of his jacket, dangling him up in the air. "Have you lost what little mind you possessed, Jaken? How dare you hit me, you midget beady eyed bastard!"
Unfazed by the younger man's outrage, Jaken smiles at him. "You are counting off my air supply, Young master. Would you be so kind as to release me?"
Looking at Jaken, like he'd lost his mind, Sess shakes him. "Give me one good reason, why I shouldn't break your pitiful neck?" Shaking the older man, like a ragdoll. "Talk, Jaken, and it better be good, or you'll find your old ass in an unemployment line!" Sesshomaru drops him, angrily.
Jaken calmly straightened out his clothes, dusting off an imaginary speck of lint. He then turns his gaze back on the angry young man before him, and smiles. "First of all, young master. You are forgetting, that this is your father's house. You'll have to have HIS approval to fire me. Second," Jaken gives him a deadpan stare. "I helped change your nasty diapers. Cleaned up your vomit whenever you made a pig of yourself. I saw you through colds, broken limbs, and I put up with that 'evil woman's' demands as well as little miss' endless silliness!" He smiles, when he mentions Rin. Then he clears his throat, and goes back to the disapproving stare. "I believe, young man, that gives me the right to 'smack' some sense into you, every now and then." Grabbing the bottle of liquor and his glass off the desk, he walked to the sink by the bar. He pours the contains of the glass down the drain.
"What do you think you're doing, Jaken? I was drinking that!" He rounded on the older man, trying to get his glass back. "You are overstepping your bounds, Old man!"
Jaken ignores him, opening the cabinet to place the almost empty bottle inside. "You've had quite enough already! What you need is to drink that coffee. Then you have to go upstairs, and talk to your lovely bride," he turned and gave Sess an accusing glare. "Now, get you ass in gear, young man! Go talk to her! Fix whatever misunderstandings that are between you, before it becomes un-fixable!" Sesshomaru turned away, and sat down heavily in his chair. He buried his face in his hands, and sighed. Jaken, seeing the little boy he was, smiled and walked over to him. Putting his hand on Sess' shoulder, he tries to comfort him. "I'm sorry, Sesshomaru, I know you are under a great deal of pressure right now. Your not used to not being in control of situations. But, you must remember that she also is new to this as well."
Sesshomaru looked up at the old caretaker, thoughtfully. He sat back in his chair, staring up at the ceiling. "Wha...What if I can't fix this, Jaken? What if what we have, really don't exist? What if all of this...What if its all just been the pipe dream of 2 children, in adult form?" Closing his tired eye, he sighs heavily. "It's just that...For the first time in a long time, I don't know what to do." Looking to the man who helped raise him, with deeply troubled eyes. "I...I hurt her so badly. I betrayed her and her family's trust, and now I just don't know what to do!"
Jaken gave him an understanding smile. "What utter nonsense, young master! Why I'd never seen a more happier man, than you. The day Miss Yasha walked into your life, was a blessing! It reminded me of the days when you dear mother was here!" Jaken placed his hand on the younger man's shoulder, giving it an affectionate squeeze. "You changed, Sesshomaru Sama. You are happy! You found the happiness you lost. And, what's more, she came back. She came back to you. That should be enough to show you, that what you have with her, is no 'pipe dream'. It's real, very real. And, I'm sure that forgiveness will be granted." He picked up he coffee and handed it to him. "Now, young man. You are to drink this coffee, before it turns to ice. Then, You are going to go upstairs. Take a hot shower or bath, you smell like you've been in a bar!" He smirked at his former charge. "Maybe, after you and your lady have a little heart to heart. The 2 of you can finally get down to business. I expect to be changing diapers and cleaning vomit, for my next young master or little miss!"
Sesshomaru thought for a moment, as he stared into the cup in his hands. He smirked over Jaken's words, 'Humph, a little heart to heart, huh? Why not? My hime did come back on her own. Maybe I should take that as a good sign. Maybe, she'll forgive me.' He downed the cool coffee in 2 gulps. Standing up, he handed Jaken the empty cup, "Thank you, Jaken. I won't be needing you anymore tonight, goodnight." Sess got up, and walked to the door. As he opened the door, and started to walk out. He turned back to Jaken. "Oh, and Jaken?"
"Yes, sir?"
Sesshomaru gave him a chilling stare. "If you ever hit me again, I'm going to tell father who's been stealing his Playboy and Penthouse magazines. He's still looking for the issues with Shannon Tweed, Dorothy Stratton, and Barbie Benton! Goodnight."
Sesshomaru turned, so the now sickly pale and sputtering Jaken, wouldn't see the mischievous smirk on his face. Climbing the top of the stairs, he walked down the hall to his room. He paused when he heard the sound of splashing, and his daughter and wife's voices. He leaned his head against the door, and closed his eyes to listen. He smiled when he heard Rin squeal with glee, as she begged her 'mama' to squirt her again with the shower head. Sighing, he pushed away from the door, 'A hot bath, huh? That's a good idea!' He continued down the hall towards their bedroom. 'Jaken might be right. She did come back on her own, so she must be willing to at least try!' He smiled as Jaken's words flowed through his head, 'the next young master or little miss, huh? I wonder what our children would look like.' His smiled widened as he thought, "I don't care what they look like, not as long as they have Yasha's eyes and her beautiful smile! That will be enough for me!" He took that thought with him, as he went into his room.
TBC...
