『Kodoku no Saibou』(1×1 w/ Jikkah)

Jin watched Kojurou relax with a soft smile, reaching to run her fingers gently against his brow, moving to gently stroke his hair as he rested.
 
“Hush now Kojurou-dono, you worry for nothing..” She said softly, tracing his face gently with her fingertips.
 
Nana was stirred from her sleep once more, fresh water being poured into the tank to help dilute some of the drugs so Nana could appear more lively for the emperor.
She was quite groggy, but the fresh water in the tank felt good on her gills, helping her feel more awake.
 
Her ears twitched a bit at their words, frowning softly. What did that mean? Was she truly expected to preform for a human? She would not be a pet willingly.
 
The other servants tied ropes to the tank and began to pull it along, dragging it down the hall and to the Emperor's throne room. Mitsunari was there, scowling gently when he saw the tank, and turned his eyes away.
 
Nana had to steel her nerves, being dragged before a room full of leering eyes. She felt vile, being on display in such an unsightly manner, it almost lowered her reputation. She wasn’t some wild beast to be locked in a cage- she was of the noble dragon folk, and the queen-wife of the Oni King.
 
"What is this, Ishida?" The Emperor asked, shrouded by his privacy screen. Mitsunari exhaled before he moved to stand before him.
"A gift from the court, to show our loyalty and devotion." Mitsunari replied.
"A ningyou?" The Emperor asked. Mitsunari hesitated.
"Yes, lord.."
 
She blinked and looked to Mitsunari when he referred to her as a ningyou, which he knew she wasn’t. Glancing to the figure she could barely see behind the screen, she wondered if he intended to eat her.
 
The unwillingness to consume her soothed Nana, but she still did not enjoy being a gift to a human. She turned her back to the emperor, a soft frown on her face.
 
Nana could do nothing but remember each humans name as it was spoken, keeping a list of names to herself for those who had to be brought to justice. She was a pet now, and with the magical restraints on her, she was powerless.
 
"Send her to the lounge where I spend my time with Jin. She will look lovely there." The Emperor ordered. Mitsunari bowed and signalled to the servants, who grabbed the ropes tied to the tank and pulled Nana away.
