Chapter 7

Inuyasha was working through some reports when Sango and Miroku walked into his office with Jenji at their side.

"We're back!" she said walking up to him. "Now get him out of my face." And she left with Jenji, just leaving Miroku with him.

"What did you do?" Inuyasha asked getting up.

Miroku shrugged but he was smiling.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes but handed him a map of the complex. "Here. I've told everyone to keep it secret, you won't know anything by our lips."

"Miotsu would be grateful." Miroku said taking the map and looking it over.

"This is where you'll be sleeping." Inuyasha said pointing to a hall that was circled. "Jenji is mayor of that hall, ask him where your room is and if you need anything. Taking women in your room is your choice, but don't let it inturupt your training, which Sango will be in charge of."

"Then when shall I train?" Miroku asked folding up the map and storing it in his robes.

"Every morning when Sango gets you up until she decides how strong you are and which class you should be put in. Then you will train with them until otherwise specified." Inuyasha said as he lead the way out of his office. "You are to stay underground unless otherwise instructed, by me and only me. If anyone else tells you to, don't listen. Normal society rules apply, no stealing, no unprovoked fighting, weapons only alowd in the training room unless they are fully sheathed. No raping, no cheating, just be a good man. Breaking of the rules will land you with good old hard work, or a jail sentence, it just depends on what you do."

"Got it." Miroku said.

Inuyasha said all of this as he led the way to Miroku's room.

He stopped in front of a door and knocked.

"Who is it?"

"Jenji open up, it's me." Inuyasha said.

"Hey, boss man." Jenji said after he opened the door.

Miroku's first impression of the man held true. He was quite big and muscular but was an overall nice guy.

"I'm leaving Miroku with you. Show him around, make him comfortable, I have work to do." Inuyasha ordered and then turned and walked back towards his office.

"Later!" Jenji called before turning his attention to Miroku. "So you ready to see your rooms? Or would you rather get some grub then go to sleep? It's just about dinner time."

"Food sounds wonderfull." Miroku said politely.

"Sure thing! Come on shorty!" He said leading him down the hall.

"Pretty cool resistance, huh?" he asked proudly.

"It's very nice." Miroku agreed looking at the caves and wondering why he felt so very at home here. "You have quiet an army here."

"Yeah. One day, this wont be here anymore. We'll be able to walk in the clear blue skies, enjoy fresh air, finally take the kingdom back." Jenji's chest swelled.

"Sounds like quite a place." Miroku but his smile was guarded. There was something, and he couldn't tell you exactly what, that made him suspicious around Jenji. Maybe it was just being in anew place after knowing only one for so long, but he he felt like there was some thing off about Jenji. But Inuyasha and everyone else trusted him. So he brushed it off and listen to Jenji who he had been tuning out for a minute.

"....announcements every morning after breakfast. Those are important, make sure you are there. And I think that's about it." Jenji finished giving him a quick run down on how things worked.

"Thank you, Jenji." Miroku said politely dispite his misgivings.

"No prob, little man." Jenji waved it off.

"You know, I am rather tall. I think it is you that is the giant, not the rest of us being short." Miroku pointed out with a smile.

Jenji laughed, it was deep and happy. "No way. I am just the right size! You guys are just really small!"


The next morning, Miroku was shaking awake by Sango who look wide eyed and ready for anything.

"Come on, get up. We have to test you this morning." She ordered. She turned around and lit the lamp next ot his cot.

"The monks don't even get up this early." he complained but he got out of bed.

Not looking at his bare chest, Sango threw him a pair of working clothes, some old breeches and a plain white shirt.

"Put these on, not your robes. I need you to fight your best and you can't do those with those robes in the way." she said before leaving.

"Yes, ma'am." he said to the empty room and changed.

Ten minutes later, he found the training hall and wondered at it's size. Even the temple with the monks hadn't been so large.

"Hurry up!" Sango said stretching in the center of the room. "Warm yourself up then we'll test you to see where you belong."

"What do you mean by that?" Miroku asked stopping in front of her and repeating her moves. He felt his still tired muscles complain as he put them to work ealier than normal.

"We have differant classes for the differant ranks of fighters. How good of a fighter you are depends on where you class. Those not of age have their own class, but everyone else falls into the other catagories. The top fighters train when they please. They include me and Inuyasha. That's it and I still drag him down here at least once a day so he doesn't go to seed." she said rotating her shoulders.

"Alright. How do you determine where they go?" he asked repeating her motions.

"I fight them." she said before dropping into a fighting stance. "First hand to hand, then with the weapon of your choice. If you can beat me it's automatic placement in the top class."

"I'm guessing only Inuyasha has beat you?" he asked dropping into his own fighting stance, a mix of what the monks taught him and a fighting style his body already knew when he apeared on their steps.

She gave him a feral smile, "It was a close tie."

And she lunged for him.

Miroku had expected something of the sort and bloked the first punch. The second, he grabbed her wrist and used her own momentum to send her down.

Sango, however, used the rest of her power to take him down with her.

They both rolled away from each other and bounced back up.

"Hey, Jenji." Kira, the hardened worrior Sango met on her first day here, said walking up to him. He was standing on the sidelines watching the fight. "What's going on?"

"Miroku's getting his palcement test." he smiled waiting for Sango to take him down.

"Did they just start?" she asked leaning against the wall next to him.

"Yep, you haven't missed a thing."

"Hey, Jenji. Kira." Nami said stopping next to Kira. "I heard Sango was testing the new guy. I wanted to watch."

"Ooooh." Jenji cringed in sympathy as Sango put her fist into his gut. Miroku curled up around her arm as if in pain.

"Well, he's out." Nami smiled.

But he wasn't. Sango tried yanking her arm back but Miroku had gotton a good hold on it.

He grabbed it and turned around then flipped her over his shoulder onto her back.

Her air rushed out and she grunted in pain.

"Oh shit!" Jenji said impressed.

"He took down Sango!" Nami said just as amazed.

"Not yet." Kira said as she got back up and lunged for him.

"What are you all doing here?" Inuyasha asked walking up to the three spectators.

"Watching the show." Jenji and Nami said at the same time not taking theirs eyes off the fight.

"Did they just start?" Inuyasha asked as the two circled each other cautiously.

"Nope." Jenji said.

"Sango's actually sweating this time." Nami giggled at the obvious trouble their undefeatable trainer was having.

"They're not wearing pads, are they?" Inuyasha asked as Miroku jumped over Sango and kicked her in the back sending her sprawling.

"Nope!" Jenji and Nami spoke at the same time again with the same relish.

Sango growled and tackled Miroku and tried to get his hands behind his back. But just as soon as she had his wrists in her hands, he flipped them over so he was on top, grabbed her wrists and forced them down.

"Give up?" He asked both of them breathing hard.

"Never!" she cried before trying to kick him.

He jumped out of the way just in time and she scrabbled to her feet.

Both of them were panting and sweating. "Your good. No one has ever lasted this long against me before."

Miroku smiled then braced himself as if he was about to pounce....

The entire complex suddenly started shaking sending everyone to their knees.

"What was that?!" Inuyasha hollared as the ground shook again. Suddenly there were screams and the sounds of swords clashing.

A man ran inside and screamed. "We're being attacked! The mages have found us!" and he ran out of the opposite door, still screaming his message.
