Here is the squeal to Poor Jaken.

The Subservient Princess

Lavender tendrils fell in the view of crystalline jade eyes as they watched the small kappa rounding up wayward tadpoles. Jaken had taken to motherhood surprisingly well. He was a frantic and flighty mother, and sometimes a bit harsh; but he loved his children all very much and only wanted…no he demanded only the best for his spawn. Gamamaru on his part spoiled the kappa and their children. Their eldest and the only surviving child from their first clutch was a powerful demoness, but fortune had not favored her with either parents’ looks. She was tall and skinny, her countenance was decidedly more human than either parent and she was labeled as ‘the ugly princess.’ Of course any who said so in front of Gamamaru was likely to be flogged to death. Jaken was more underhanded and the last person who dared insult his eldest child found their food spiked with a poison that left him stuck in a squatting position behind some bushes for a few days, and then he was flogged by Gamamaru.

Marasuki Ren was well loved by her parents, and by her servants, but also pitied for her looks. She was not like the other children with their hairless rough and warty skin and bulging eyes. Her skin was soft like velvet and her eyes were almond shaped and the color of pale jade, paler then her mother’s skin. Also her skin was a considerably drab olive brown rather than the lovely sage and yellow coloring her father bore, or the jade green of her mother’s skin. She was at the age of twenty already as tall as her father and fairly strong for a young demon. Ren as they called their daughter was assisting her mother in tending the young fry. She liked it because her little siblings were cute and too young to realize just how unsightly she looked.

She sighed sadly as a mischievous young male darted away from Jaken and came and hide in her hair hoping to escape the scolding his momma was sure to give him for going into the ‘deep darks‘, as the young fry referred to the dank murky waters further away from their home place. This one had been named Fudo for his fiery personality. He has a special affinity to his big sister and when he had gone too far and vexed their mother, as he did all too often, he would seek out Ren for protection.

The name choice for Ren was oddly similar to another young girl in Jaken’s life. He recently got news of Rin’s engagement to a human lord whose family had faithfully served the lord of the west for several generations, and it was about time. Sesshomaru was simply over protective of his charge and she was well into her child bearing years already. Jaken was glad she would finally have a male in her life with the same life span as her own.

He knew better than to worry that Rin might have been forced into any arrangement. His circumstance had been sadly different and Sesshomaru had done what was best for his former retainer. It worked out rather well Jaken was a happy and active young mother and Gamamaru was very pleased and wanted nothing more than to make love to his mate every night.

Jaken lunged toward his eldest and glared at her hair. He reached in and pulled a squirming toddler with gills and a fish like tail from her hair. Ren pouted sending a look that begged her mother to go easy on the little one. Jaken sniffed inhaling water.

His gills came in handy for all the underwater screaming he did, but talking was not very easy beneath the surface. His latest brood would be surfacing soon and then they would join their twenty brothers and sisters. Ren was unique amongst them. There were a few that bore a small resemblance to their sister but most either looked strictly like their mother or father.

Fudo pouted and looked up at his momma with big sad yellow green eyes. His dark green cheeks puffed out as his lower lip trembled. Jaken’s own lip trembled, and he hugged his little one tightly. He had been a mother for two whole decades and yet the puppy dog eyes still worked on him. He patted Fudo’s bottom gently, “Don’t do that again. You scared your momma.” Fudo sniffed as his paws curled around Jaken’s neck and he cuddled his momma. He chirruped in apology and Jaken put him with his brothers and sisters. “Now it’s time for all of you to rest.” The little ones all chirruped quietly. Jaken smiled as little eyes began to droop shut.

Jaken was momma to his children, and surprisingly it was he who insisted he be called mother. He said it was too confusing the other way and since Gamamaru was the man in the bedroom it only made sense…but outside of their family no one dared refer to him as anything other than male, lest he wield the Nintoujou against them. That was something he had not expected. He had left the Staff of Two Heads behind at the palace of the west, but when the company of Gamamaru’s servants returned with two of Sesshomaru’s guards they bore the magical staff. According to Etsuko the lord said it was still Jaken’s responsibility to care for the staff that the Inu no Taicho had entrusted Sesshomaru with. Jaken saw the thinly veiled wedding gift and cherished it.

He rarely had need to use it because Gamamaru was for the most part a well-liked leader and his guards could be trusted. Though occasionally Jaken might get harassed by a foolish dominate that thought he, or she, could over power Gamamaru and take his mate. Jaken rarely let them even get that far, roasting them with his staff. There was only one that remained sly and persistent. The captain of the guards’ junior officer and third in command under Gamamaru himself, Satoshi Toru, was a well-liked; strong and intelligent frog demon…but Jaken could not stand the male. On the occasions that he had to bare the insufferable demon’s presence he always felt uncomfortable. Satoshi sent out mating signals to him and Gamamaru never seemed to notice. The demon was slick and always chose the right moments to make inappropriate comments or leave lingering touches to Jaken’s person. He was nearly as powerful as Gamamaru and that had Jaken worried. He was certain it was all just a power play. To steal away one’s mate without violence was almost the same as stealing his power. Jaken was no fool. He was loyal to his husband.

Jaken and his first born surfaced after they had secured the toddlers for the night in a fresh bubble nest. Ren was growing so fast. She was twenty years old and resembled a child of twelve. Amphibious children tended to have a higher mortality rate so they grew faster than most other demons. Ren’s siblings also were growing fast and catching her up in maturity, but none were as tall as her. She hated it, all of it; she brought shame to her family. She was ridiculed behind their backs and she never told her parents of the cruel taunts that she suffered. Only the unfortunate few to get caught were punished. Ren didn’t have the heart to tell tales on her abusers so the verbal abuse continued. Even if Jaken told her that she was not ugly; she couldn’t believe it.

“Marasuki Ren will make an excellent mother one day,” Jaken spoke as he took his daughter’s hand, “You are a natural with children.”

“I do not wish to marry,” Ren spoke out for once, “I will NOT be pitied or pampered. I know no male or female would have me unless it were out of pity or some ulterior motive. Mother…I’m ugly. I don’t care what you say. I am ugly, I’m different and nobody would want this deformed body of mine!” She stood tall to show her meaning as the swell in her chest rose. It was surprising indeed that she had a definite mammalian appearance with two swollen mammaries resting on her chest. Tears slid from her eyes down the soft slope of her cheeks meeting as they gathered under her chin and dripped to the ground, “Tell me am I not truly your child? Am I? I‘m some misbegotten orphan you took pity upon!”

She sniffed as more tears spilled, “I’m a monster!”

“Silence! Do not be a fool you impertinent child! I was there the day you hatched! You are strong and lovely. You look different because of your heritage. Kappa descended from sea creatures that look like mortals only with fish tails. The ma-meido were very powerful creatures and were sought out for their beauty by humans! I’ll admit it is very rare for one such as yourself to be born, but do not base your opinions upon the words of people who have never left this swamp! You must learn that true beauty is not here!” Jaken reached up to his daughter’s face. She knelt and let him express his words with touch. Jaken cupped her face. “It matters not what people think of your outside! What is in here!” He poked her fore head, then her chest above her heart, “And here! That is what matters and one day there will be a mate for you that finds both of those so beautiful that the outside will not matter!” Jaken screeched out his little speech his face burning with his outrage. Ren could not help but laugh. She blinked her tears away and smiled.

“You are special my little Ren.”

“Momma! I’m not little anymore.” Ren argued.

“Don’t sass your mother!” Both looked up to see a strong demon smiling at them.

“Papa!” Ren smiled and stood so she could hug her father. She kissed his cheek and hugged him, “I missed you papa!”

“Hai, and I missed you little one,” he gave her a hearty squeeze lifting her from the ground. He put her down and held her at arm’s length, “You have been crying again? Tell me what fool has hurt my precious girl and I will flog the life out of them!”

“You get the whip and I’ll hold her down then,” Jaken snapped still a little angry at his child for belittling herself.

“Eh?” Gamamaru looked confused between his mate and their child, “What’s this?“

“I’m sorry, Papa, sorry Momma. I know I should be proud of myself. She frowned her eyes shimmered with new tears as she pushed past her father.

Jaken signed, “The child thinks so little of herself.” Gamamaru scooped up Jaken giving him a fierce hug, “Don’t worry I will have a talk with her. I promise.” He kissed Jaken with a passion that left the kappa blushing.

“I’m glad you are home,” Jaken gave him a light peck. All this time and still shy as ever, “How did negotiations with the humans go?”

…After the upheaval with the grass lands there was a power vacuum and Sesshomaru had appointed Gamamaru to take charge of the area until a proper governor could by placed. The farmers had been complaining that rogue demons were attacking their villages and destroying their crops and killing their livestock. They refused to pay their tribute to Lord Sesshomaru. They felt that their rights and needs were being over looked. Instead of simply destroying the problem villages like some of his higher ranking men suggested he negotiated with the humans. Their men set up patrols of the fields and exterminated the wild demons that kept attacking human settlements The humans agreed to pay tribute at the next quarter, unfortunately there was precious little left for them this season because the demons had eaten much of their food and ruined what they could not devour. Gamamaru struck a deal with the humans. The people would be allowed to harvest fish and wild plants from the swamp to feed their families until such time as their crops recovered. They were surprisingly agreeable to this plan.

“Everything went fine the villages are each sending in ten men to fish and forage for food. They will be restricted to a small area that is plentiful enough for the three hundred or so villagers that need food, some of our laborers will assist them.” Jaken nodded in appreciation.
“They won’t be coming here though will they?” He asked his Lord Husband.

Jaken did not care if they were on good terms with humans he did not trust most men near his children. The only human that was welcome to visit and come in contact with their brood was Rin, and she adored the young ones. She claimed to have a new favorite each time she visited. She justified this statement saying that each new batch was cuter then the last, but all were precious. The last time Rin visited she and Ren struck up a strong friendship and they corresponded often.

That was how Jaken learned much of the news about Rin and of His beloved former master. Sesshomaru had visited once, it was when Ren was three and still resembled an infant. He had not made the time since then and Jaken understands what with his responsibilities and the upheavals in hierarchy under his station have left him extremely busy.

Sesshomaru did send gifts, and Rin often was the one to bring them, with help of a few dozen servants that is. Sesshomaru had a custom crib made for Ren when he had visited, and each child got another similar they actually ran out of room for them and soon the older ones were given to servants. Then there were the clothes, gifts of kimonos and other garments for Jaken, and his children. Ren had dozens of beautiful kimonos to wear but she hated them because the taunting only got worse when she was dressed in finery. She tended to prefer a simple yuketa with short hamaka; they were made of coarse brown linen much like Jaken’s clothes had been when he was a vassal. She would have worn longer pants but they got in her way when swimming. She tended to do a lot of swimming with her younger siblings…

Ren went to her room that she shared with her three eldest younger siblings. Triplets named, Mizuka, Mizuki, and Mizuko. They were identical and looked much like Jaken. The three were highly favored and had marriage proposals already even though they were only fifteen and physically looked about eight in human years. The three were very prim and proper ladies, having a governess (which was also Ren’s). The female toad demon let Ren run wild seeing no point in training up such an unsightly thing to be a princess. Ren, though secretly hurt, was glad because she much rather would be studying sword play and fighting with the boys, and some of the more dominant females. Ren was a scrapper and could match any male her age blow for blow. The boys didn’t hold back on her despite her delicate looking frame. She was not, to their standards feminine at all with her long thin arms and legs and her narrow waist.

Ren stripped off her wet things and dried off with a towel, she took a comb to her long purple curls as she rung the excess water out of them. She was the only one of her peers that had need of a comb. Gamamaru had one made custom out of mother of pearl he had commissioned from an oyster demon. It was beautiful and there was a smaller set of matching pearl combs meant to pin her hair up. She wondered often why such things of beauty were wasted on her but it made her father happy to see her wearing them so she tried to whenever he was around. She pinned up her hair and dressed for dinner.

Dinner was always a lively event with Gamamaru, Jaken and their brood of nearly two dozen children. The tad poles were already fed earlier and were even proficient at catching their own meals, with adult supervision of course. Ren found her way to the family dining hall which was nearly as large as the formal dining hall that was used to entertain dignitaries. It was more simply furnished with a long low table and soft cushions, the walls were painted a soft crème color there were no paper screens due the tendency of molding. The palace of the marshlands was a vast underground network carved from solid bedrock. It was clean and dry enough to accommodate a non-amphibious demon comfortably but the air was always slightly damp. All of the silks in the palace were made from demon moth silk and thus impervious to mildew and decay, but any important documents had to be kept in an airtight container. Gamamaru’s father had commissioned a case be made out of adamantite it had a seal placed upon it to be water tight and could only be opened by the one who carried the seal of the marshlands. It was made by afamous oyster demon named Hosenki who just happened to be the father of the demon that made Ren’s combs.

Jaken was quite unhappy this evening because none other than Satoshi Toru was seated with them at their supposedly intimate family dinner. Jaken was on one side of Gamamaru trying to ignore the heated glances sent his way by Satoishi who was seated on Gamamaru’s other side. The children were seated except most notably Ren. The only seat unoccupied was next to Satoshi. Jaken did not like the idea of any of his children sitting next to that lecher.

Ren gazed at the table. She was not any happier about the seating arrangement then her mother. Ren hated Satoshi and was one of the few that saw through his slick appearance. Sure he was handsome, she had to admit that. He has sleek smooth blue green skin, large emerald green eyes that were ringed with sapphire. He was large and muscular. There were rumors that the frog had a string of lovers both male and female, and that he had even had dominant lovers submit to him.

On his part he was not interested in Ren he had made his feelings for her clear when she was younger. He made a point to tell her just how repulsive he thought her to be and even went as far as to threaten her.

…Once when she had been roaming the palace she accidentally bumped into him from behind. He had said, “If you ever lay your ugly hands on my person again I will cut them off. You are a freak and I do not know why your parents did not have you killed when you were an infant. Most would be ashamed to acknowledge your existence, but your foolish father is PROUD of you! You bearer is far too beautiful to have spawned something so vile. Perhaps your father got drunk and fucked a cow one night. He is a fool to think you are worth such finery.” He punctuated his rant by shoving her to the ground and tearing her kimono in the process. He turned and waked away still very angry…

Ren was to frightened then to tell her parents and now too ashamed over the whole thing so she pretended it never happened. She walked into the room holding her head high. Satoshi watched her entering the room with a light smile on his face. She thought that odd since he usually just ignored her or sent her looks of disgust. Today he smiled. His eyes traveled up and down her frame critically as if deciding whether he could make use of her body or looking for weak points in a torture victim.

Gamamaru was oblivious to the charged vibe in the room as Ren sent an angry glare at the large male. She took her seat daintily and pretended the male was not next to her.

The food was served. Gamamaru and Satoshi spoke jovially over plates of raw sashimi and fish eggs. Ren picked at her fish with her chopsticks and looked across the table to her mother who was trying to enjoy his favorite dish of caviar spread on raw tuna. Ren noticed Satoshi glancing at her mother with an unpleasant look of want in his eyes and she grew angry. She was about to say something when her father cleared his throat.

“Quiet down my children, I have an announcement to make.” Ren scowled at Satoshi who had turned to look at her as her father stood to make his announcement“

“Satoshi Toru has agreed to be mated to Marasuki Ren…when she comes of age of course!” he laughed jovially. Ren choked on the piece of fish that had lodged itself in her throat. It just wouldn’t go down. Jaken who had been sipping on a wine made from grapes sprayed the red liquid across the table.

“WHAT?” He screeched, “ABSLOUTLY NOT! NO DAUGHTER…or son…OF MINE IS GOING TO BE MATED TO…TO-TO HIM!” Jaken pointed an accusing finger toward the frog demon. Satoshi didn’t flinch as a hand soaked in wine flicked red droplets onto his face. He let his tongue slide out and lick his lips clean.

Satoshi really didn’t care what the pretty little kappa thought. Submissives were only good for fucking and sucking off their dominant, in his opinion; besides only Gamamaru had a say in the fate of his offspring. Jaken was just a bearer. A highly attractive barer, Satoshi had to admit, but still just a pretty hole for fucking. He didn’t want Marasuki Ren for his mate he thought her beyond unattractive and he would certainly only mate with her for children. He could keep his lovers and give Ren a guest room to sleep in.

Ren was just a political tool, and apparently Jaken knew this. By the looks of it the young maiden to whom he was betrothed also suspected.

Satoshi had a satisfied smirk on his face, as he watched the kappa get worked up throwing his fit. He almost let a sinister chuckle slip through his lips, but then there was a sharp burning pain in his side.

In a rage, Jaken launched himself over the table and buried one of his bamboo chopsticks into the larger demon’s side. Satoshi was seeing red and hand to bite his tongue not to do or say anything stupid. He pulled the splintered and broken piece of bamboo out of his flesh and covered the thickly bleeding wound with his hand. He left before things got out of hand...

...He looked back at the scene glaring at the beautiful creature writhing in Gamamaru’s arms. Despite his anger he became aroused at the sight of an angry Jaken. He barely noticed the young demoness brush past him as she ran out of the room. He didn’t care that she was upset and crying. He was angry in fact. The ungrateful bitch should be honored that he would lower himself to even look upon her ugliness. He shook his head he had things to do. He headed to the infirmary to get treated then he had to find a convenient fuck to get rid of his straining erection…

…Ren ran blindly through the halls to her room she threw herself on to her futon. She did not want to be mated to some vile frog who thought of her as a monstrosity. She would never be happy. She cried until her eyes were painful. Finally she fell into an uneasy sleep.

…Jaken was livid, how dare those two conspire without asking Ren or even him? Had his husband lost his mind? Once Satoshi was out of Jaken’s sight he had calmed enough that Gamamaru felt it was safe to release his lover. Gamamaru put his hand on the kappa’s shoulder, “I know you are upset, but you should be happy, now we can rest assured that our daughter will have a mate.” Jaken jerked away from the larger demon and glared at him. It was a rare moment when the small demon could not find words to express his anger. Jaken stormed out and left a confused lord and nineteen of their children staring after him.

Gamamaru looked at his brood, “What are you gawking at? Finish your meals and then go to bed!” He left his children in care of his servants. Fights had not been an uncommon occurrence in his marriage to Jaken but this one felt…different. Jaken was never one to back down or leave until a fight was hashed out. The little kappa had a fiery spirit and loved giving a good verbal lashing. Their best sex always happened after a heated argument, but this time he went to his and Jaken’s bed chambers and there was no seething little kappa to greet him with angry glares or screams of outrage…

…Jaken went where he was needed most. His husband was an idiot. Their daughter had her future sold out from under her. Jaken found Ren face down on her futon. Her light snoring the only clue that she was still alive. Jaken gently nudged his daughter and she rolled over in her sleep. Her face was red from crying with dried tear stains trailing over her cheeks. Jaken climbed into bed with his daughter and hugged her. Ren cracked an eye open sleepily and smiled sadly at her mother. Jaken let Ren hug him like a teddy bear as she let more silent tears fall. He fell asleep in his child’s arms taking as much comfort as he was giving.
