Jaken’s Big Book of Bed Time Stories

By Kaitlin61488 a.k.a Kaitlin Reese

“SESSHOMARU!!!” Rin screeched at the top of her lungs.

“What is it now?” he thought to himself as he went to her bedside.

“Yes?” he tried to sound as cheerful as possible even thought he was on the point of a complete melt down. It was 2:32 am and he had done all possible to get this kid to sleep.

“I want a bedtime story!!!” Sesshomaru started twitching.

“WHAT?!”

“You heard me!”

“Well…uh…Rin this bedtime story isn’t really my thing…” He nervously scratched his back. She crossed her arms stubbornly and gave a pouty face.

“Then I guess I won’t be going to sleep.”

“NO!!! I mean well…” Just at the right moment Jaken happened to pass by. “Uh you see Jaken here is going to be telling you a story tonight because, uh you know I have to go do…demon stuff!!!” He walked over to Jaken and kneeled next to him. “Tell her a story and make it a good one, because by the time I get back she better be out like a light or it’s…” Sesshomaru pulled his finger across the neck and made a "crk" noise.

Jaken’s eyes filled with tears of joy. “Oh Master Sesshomaru, I’ve been writing children’s stories for years,” he pulled out a large book with a brown leather cover and a childish illustration of himself surrounded by children. The title was written in big letters at the top “Jaken’s Big Book of Bed Time Stories”. “You don’t know how long I’ve been waiting to finally try it out!!!”

“Uh, yeah well knock yourself out!!!” He left. Jaken walked over to Rin, sat down and opened the book.

“Ahhh…Where to begin?” Rin rolled her eyes. He flipped through the pages. “Here we go this one is called the 'Frog Prince'.

"Once upon a time in Feudal Japan there was a lovely princess by the name of Kagome. Unlike most princesses, she did not live in a castle, but traveled in search of jewel shards with her friends. Though most everyone liked her there was an evil priestess named Kikyou who rivaled her beauty and was determined to get rid of her once and for all. So the priestess came up with an evil plot to destroy Princess Kagome.

"'Royal jester, come hither.' Shippou darling as ever, came to her as told. He wore a red and blue joker hat that covered his eyes and pointed yellow shoes with bells the jingled as he walked.

“'Yes Miss Kagome?'

“'I need some cheering up, please do something amusing.'He grinned.

“'I shall try my best.'

“'Oh please…' Inuyasha budded in, 'Would you all stop talking like that, it’s really annoying!!!'

“'You take the fun out of everything!'

“'Royal Advisor Miroku is right. You do take the fun out of everything!'

“'Feh…'

“'Oh well, go on Shippou.' Shippou pulled out three brightly colored balls and began to juggle while hoping on foot, as he spun a plate on his nose, and told a stupid blonde joke gargling water.

“'Why Kagome, you seem sad, tell me, what is bothering you?'

“'You are right my loyal servant Sango, I am sad. I am surrounded by friends yet I am still lonely. I long for something more. I long for love.' She looked down, slightly embarrassed.

“'My goodness! How long have you had these feelings?'

“'For as long as I can remember. Excuse me, for I must be alone right now.' She got up and began to walk into a near by forest.

"She walked along a rural trail dropping tears as she went. Kagome came across a placid lake and sat down on a boulder near the water. The scenery was wonderful. The flowers were in full bloom and surrounded the forest as they floated atop a sea of green. Water as blue as sapphires glistened in the spring sun as dragonflies hummed. It was hard for her to enjoy, since she was all alone.

“'Excuse me miss,' Kagome looked for the owner of the voice. 'Ahem, down here.'

“'AAAHHH!!! EW EW EW EW EW EW!!! GROSS!' She had found it.

“'Please miss, do not be alarmed, though I may seem grossest and unappealing, I am a humble creature. Tell me, why is a beautiful maiden such as yourself crying?'

“'As I know how you feel too I am lonely. In a world filled with couples and romance I have no one by my side.'

“'Impossible! Miss may I ask, what is your name?'

“'Princess Kagome.'

“'Such a fitting name. Allow me to introduce myself. I am none other that the Prince Jaken.' He gave a bow removing his feathery hat.

“'You, a prince? HAHAHAHAHAH!!!' Jaken grew annoyed as Kagome continued to laugh. “'Forgive me for saying this, but you just don’t look like prince material.'

“'Oh princess I am. The evil priestess cursed me with such fowl looks because I refused to date her in high school. Braces are such a turn off. At one point in time the ladies described me as a total hottie.' Jaken winked. 'Please princess, grant me one wish.'

“'And that would be…'

“'Place a sweet kiss upon my lips so the curse may be broken and I will return to my true self.' Kagome turned green.

“'I’ll be right back…' she ran off behind some dense bushes. Jaken sighed, for he could hear vomiting noises.

“'Okay I’m back. So let me get this straight, you want me to kiss you.' He nodded his head.

“'Yes that is correct. You can make it a real quick one.' Kagome sat for minutes thinking.

“'Uh God what to do what to do...If I kiss him I might end up with some kind of fatal mono...but I mean he looks just looks so pathetic…'

“'Kagome would you just kiss him already so we can get out of here and look for jewel shards!!!' She spun around. Inuyahsa stood a few yards away with his arms folded.

“'You know Inuyasha; you make a better spy than royal guard!!!'

“'Just kiss him!!!' Kagome grabbed Jaken around the middle and gave him a quick peck on the lips, pulling away and immediately washing her mouth out with lake water.

A beam of blue light came down from the sky and surrounded Jaken. It flashed brightly and when it disappeared a miraculous metamorphosis had taken place. Green skin was replaced by smooth creamy flesh, once yellow eyes sparkled a brilliant blue, hair as gold as the sun danced upon his head, and a pearly smile topped it all off. Jaken must have grown at least several feet. To summarize, he was HOT!!!

Out of the blue a figure jumped into the clearing... Naraku. Inuyasha pulled out the Tesusaiga.

“'What are you doing here?!' he asked the baboon pelted villain.

“'I’m here to destroy Princess Kagome of course.'

“'Over my dead body!!!' He lunged at him. Neither Kagome nor Jaken realized that there was a massive battle taking place behind them, for they were lost in one another’s eyes. They kissed one another passionately.

"Inuyahsa eventually defeated Naraku and they decided to become friends, Miroku and Sango fell in love and got married, Jaken a Kagome married had children and ruled together for the rest of their days, oh and not much happened to Shippou although he did find a peanut, and you know what? IT WAS THE BEST DANG PEANUT HE HAD EVER EATEN!!!

"The end. So what did you think?” Rin sat there speechless.

“That was sooo stupid…”

“I became friends with Naraku?”

“NANI?! HOW LONG HAVE ALL OF YOU BEEN HERE?!” He looked around noticing that the whole Inu crew had been listing and that Sesshomaru was back.

“I WOULD NEVER KISS YOU!!!” Kagome was red with anger. “SIT!!!”

“AAAHHH!!! WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?!”

“Oops! Sorry Inuyasha, I forgot that only worked with you.”

“Well I don’t know you guys, I kinda enjoyed it.” Sesshomaru said bashfully. “Come Jaken, I would like to hear more of these stories.”

THE END!!!
