Authors Notes: Huh... Ill watch it... also all that goes on in this story I never planed any of it BTW if anyone wanted to know I've just been winging it for most of this story you guys think that is working out? Also I will sometimes move away from the original story then go back to it but the majority of this story will follow the original events I dont think ill be able to create a good AU situation :P But im just a 13 year old middle schooler trying to write a story :P Also Izzy129 thank you for the review I will continue creating decent content even with school! Also this is a massive interlude in chapter 13 is where the action starts.

I was humming the Toradora opening song as I was walking through the camp I dont know what it is about the song but it is catchy and yes I watch anime I had a couple of friends back in Okinawa tha- the thought of my friends sends a pain through my heart I pull a picture out of my vest. My squad mates I missed them we've been through a lot. I place the photo back in my vest and pull out one of my parents... Even if they are not with me I feel like they are watching me. I let out a laugh I dont believe in that sort of thing.

But this place or this world it is different there is magic and maybe there is actually there is some divine being out everyone else does not call it magic but sorcery which is technically magic I think. I let out a sigh... I have been sighing a lot lately. But I really wonder how they are doing without me even though I've only been here for 5 weeks it feels like I've been here for longer but I hope they are doing fine without me but knowing them they probably found the guy who threw the live grenade at us and ripped him a new one.

Though I still wonder did I die and there was blood and guts at where the grenade detonated or did I just vanish out of nowhere. If I just vanished there would be major confusion a frag grenade is not strong enough to vaporize a body though it will cause major damage and I was also thinking how, if I did die, how I died by friendly fire not by all those IEDs and bullets but no I die form a friendly grenade in a live fire training session. I let out another sigh if I was going to die I wanted to die protecting my friends not die without a purpose but im still alive here so I have got to keep going.

But still only 5 weeks and this place has left a big impression on me it is a lot more peaceful well not really with all this fighting going around Japan but this area there really has not been much fighting but I knew that was not going to last long with all of these Damiyos or lords around us waiting for any moment of weakness that is why I train these men they fight like an European regiment in the 1700s but there are so many I could not handle them all so I split my men into 2 units of 250 they are called the 1st and 2nd Rifles of Oda.

I know a very original names but that was the best I could think of I command both of them but if needed be I allow unit 2 to act independently on their own under of course a competent commander he showed competent and skill in leading men so I gave the position in him but of course he still follows my are also trained in Guerrilla Warfare raiding supply lines, taking out officers of high importance on the battlefield, and hit and run tactics I also drilled into them that there was no honor in war and that the only unfair fight is the one you lose .

The Oda army does not have many samurai in it most of the samurai are the Nobuna's personal body guard. Almost all of the Oda army is common people from the farms and towns which is why I like it here no high and mighty people I hate those kinds of people with a passion I swear if I ever meet a guy like that who tries to intimidate me with his 'status' or 'power' God have mercy because I wont I have a burning fury for those kinds of people. One example was the kid it was err... I already forgot his name but he was just a kid and I have a feeling that he will be helpful in the future.

I was walking around watching the men continuing to train there have been rumors that Dousan's son was planning to rebel because of the treaty he and Nobuna signed. Anyway I decided to practice with the 1556 because I can't just use my M4 all the time or I will run out of ammo.

I was able to get a good 2 shots off a minute without making mistakes and be accurate up to 500 now we are practicing with the targets that are even further away than usual the farthest target is 35 meters away and the men are starting to hit that target more accurately every day.

Also rumors have been spreading across Japan of the Western Demon of Oda. If you guessed who it was about you must of guessed correctly that rumor is about me personally I really don't like being called a 'demon' but in this case I will at least be able to intimidate my foes ,physiological warfare for the win.

"Yo Salvador!." I blink and look to my right to see Sagara running towards me and behind him Riku was chasing him with her sword drawn I simply go back to reloading the musket in my hands. "Seriously Salvador help me man!" I hear his steps start to get closer.

"Your on your own man what ever happened is your fault!" I was ramming the round down the barrel of the rifle Sagara and Riku ran right passed me I looked to my left to see them still running. Then Sagara stops and turns around to face Riku. She lets out a war cry as she charged him I simply smile as Sagara began to yell out apologies.

"You will die monkey for your disgusting words!" Riku yells as she began to slash and stab at Sagara. You know he is very good at avoiding and dodging attacks I watched as he dodged every single one of Riku's attacks. Also I bet he made a perverted remark towards Riku you know this has happened so many times I lost count... nah im joking this has happened 5 times over the weeks and trust me I counted.

I let out a sigh... seriously I have been sighing a ton these 5 weeks it must be un-healthy. I simply walk up behind Riku who was too busy trying to 'stab a Sag' I let out a chuckle at that. I grab Riku's sword arm "Look I understand that Sagara here said something to upse-" I smile "Wait I definitely know that Sagara said something to upset you," She gives me a look that basically said 'you dont say' then looked back at Sagara and calms a bit down and I let go of her arm.

She sheaths her sword and looks at me even after 4 weeks after that 'incident' she still had a blush on her face when ever she looked at me though now these days is is just a small bit of pink on her cheeks. She adorns that stern look she always has and walks away from us. I simply look at Sagara "You should really stop making her mad one of these days she might end up getting a hit on you or killing you in your sleep." I said I began to walk back to the firing range.

Sagara was walking up behind me "Yeah I understand," He let out a sigh... wait hey! That's my thing. Anyway I brought the rifle up and cocked it all the way. "You really should do your best to keep yourself controlled Sagara," He lets out an 'okay behind me' As I bring the Rifle up to aim down the iron sights and sighted a target that was 10 meters away. "But dont keep yourself too controlled Sagara you speak your mind that is what I like about you."

He lets a surprised 'what' as I pulled the trigger. The sound of the rifle discharging reaches our ears as I managed to hit the target dead center. Bulls Eye hell yeah! I simply smile and turn around to look at Sagara "What im trying to tell you is to only talk your mind when you think it is necessary like in an important meeting or around Riku or Nobuna actually definitely around Nobuna and Riku but with everyone else dont be afraid to speak your mind ,even though you are not in the first place." The last part I muttered under my breath but Sagara seemed to get what I was trying to tell him.

"Alright i'll try to control my self around Nobuna and Riku but I cant agree with the important meetings." I simply let out a laugh and nod at him .

"Looks like thats all im getting good enough anyway get the hell out of this camp dont you have things to do?" I ask him. His eyes seem to widen as soon as I said that. He yelled out 'Crap!' as he began to run out of the camp I simply smile at him and go back to practicing with my rifle. I looked at my watch real quick it was 2:23 PM.

I was in my room again it was around 5 PM right now and I was thinking of any sort of artillery piece that is in a reachable production of the Oda weapon smiths. Wait I got what was that wooden cart that the Koreans used that fired gunpowder-propelled arrows when Japan invaded them back in I believe either in the late 15 hundreds or the early 16 hundreds the Hw-Hwacha that is what it was called! I grab my laptop and open it up and search for schematics and diagrams for the Hwacha and its gunpowder-propelled arrows. I also was getting better at writing Japanese characters due to the orders for rifles I've been writing to the gunsmiths I am planning to create another group of 250 rifle men.

I was working fast as I was copying drawings,schematics,and diagrams of the Hwacha onto paper I had in my room. I let out a yawn and stretched I was already halfway done I put them away to continue with them tomorrow. Then the sliding doors opened as Riku ran in the room placed a bowl on mt table and left as fast as she appeared. I blinked...once...twice... "Uh what the hell?" You know this is the second time Riku did this the last time was when I was designing the rifles but she did not run in and run out.

I looked at the food it was same dish I had the last time she did this I simply smiled "Riku would I do without you." I simply smile and pick up the bowl and a delicious smell reached my nostrils. I pick up the chopsticks "Well then Bowl Appetite"
