Chapter 2
And so it was decided.he strange man,who is not Miroku, would sleep in Inuyasha's tent. Besides,it would give him a good chance to observe him,and the observations were as followed:
Batheing : He refused to bathe publicy.It went like this.It was bath time,only he didn't know it.So he had gone downto the river by himself,in hopes of some privacy.He didn't get it.Five other men, Rii,Oya,Ryo,Tomoko,and Husu,and they were stark naked as they jumped into the water.The man was disgusted as they revealed themselves.He refuused to look,but coughed and said,"Well,I came to bathe and now i'm clean so i'm gonna go". "No way",they replied,"We saw the way you stood up to the boss,and we've decided,you'r one of us! Note that these five were from the already small army of specialy trained soilders from the origional army.The slender bodyed man just looked around in a desprate attempt to escape,and only did by stomping on Fat Ryo ( as they all call him.It's a nick-name ) 's foot and running to the other side of the lake,deciding to grab his clothes later.He snuck away!
Fighting : He was acctually pretty good. He was agile and entergetic,and one hell of a good shot.he's starting to look like an okay person to beon the army,except for the fact that he's weak as hell.For a man,he has good endurance,but he isn't physicaly strong.he couldn't carry back the water for the men tonight. I had to send Fatso ( another name for Fat Ryo ) to get it and oy was he pissed!!! Today was just trying to prove to me that they could do the job required for me.They had to shoot an arrow,on the top branch of the tallest tree in the forest,throught the almost invisiable ring of a birds nest,over 2000 feet up, then with only a piece of rope,climb up to the arrow and retreive it. The man got the shot surprising the hell outta me!! But with only the piece of rope he could only get a few branches up.It dosn't surprise me.
He had another shot at the same thing today ( it's the day after first challange ) He failed.I'm gonna have to let him go. He was a smart ass little man anyways,but yet strangely familiar....
Night in the tent : This man thinks he's better than me! He wears more than his underware to bed! We don't get to compare ourselves because he won't get undressed in front of me either! I don't know where this man came from,but he must think he is prominant or something!
But onto the weird part,his voice isn't all that deep and he coughs before he talks.It's like he's gettin T.B or somethin! But what get's me is the weird as hell armor he's always wearin! it goes heavy on the cheast and hips,but leaves the crotch on gaurded normaly!
I asked him last night,"Where the hell are you from?". The dude refused to give me a straight answer,and just replied,"cough It's nowhere neary". I never asked him if it was close or not,I just asked him where it was! I swear this guy has somethong to hide.But I will find out what it is.
Fighting day two : I watched as the man tried to carry the water.That was the training for today.he aswaly out the oressure on his back though,but that was the only way to suceed.he seems to have his own style,i'l give him one more day to prove himself.But I still might have to kick him out!
I watched as he nimbly lept from steping stone to stepping stone with the buckets over his shoulders.he was doing pretty good,until he fell.Yeah,i'm gonna have to let him go since yhe can't compleate the tasks i set out for him.
But this morning,It was really early,when I heard a loud cheering.I looked around to see that Mr.mystery man was gone.And with good reaon too! Why? because when I walked outside,I found all of my troops cheering the man.Why? he was sitting on the top branch by his arrow.he had acctually done it.There may be hope for this guy yet,wich is good eeing as I have more to find out abot him.
