Mushin sat leaning against the side of his temple staring at the night sky. So many things left to do before he died. There was a veritable scroll of things he had to do. He began to tick them off on his fingers as he though: wash the floors, dust the rafters, pat out the mats, shine the Buddha, fill the well, broom the courtyard, shine Miroku's fathers stone and place new flowers and prayers. Mushin took a long sip from his sake. So much to do. Much too much to do.

He stood and headed inside to his room as he continued to think. I wonder where Lord Miroku and the others are right now. The demon Naraku they fight is constantly ahead of them making sure to keep out of reach, especially since in my opinion he knows he is no match for them. Mushin sat in the corner of his room and stared at the raccoon demon, Hachi, that had taken over his bed.

Hachi was on his back with his arms and legs twitching in the air as he slept. He'd arrived the other day and so far he'd woken only long enough to join Mushin for a drink. Mushin scratched his head and laid down by the raccoon to sleep. Lazy raccoon…He thought, I'll do some chores tomorrow…yes tomorrow…


Sorry it was so short, sloth was extremely hard to write cause of how simple it is. Anyway read and review!
