It was a beautiful day in the village. At noon the sun was hot and cloudless, the golden rays of the sun shining on the buildings. Then came a pleasant breeze, that blew a green leaf on the wind which an Oni then grabbed then ate it. The furious scowl on it's snaggletoothed monstrous face showed that it wasn't happy with the day, especially since he was one of the four demons who had to hold up a palanquin. Maru yawned sitting in his seat, fanning himself with a paper fan while his saké bowl was being filled. The fox taking a large gulp once his bowl was filled he looked out at his apprentice in front of him, folding his fan to put it in the pocket of his kimono to instead pull out a whistle, shaking it like for a moment before he brought it to his lips to blow.Maru blew a whistle, the loud sound was enough to ring his own ears which made him cover the fox ears on top of his head. Once he recovered, he began to bark orders at his new apprentice. "ALRIGHT YOU TINY, UNIMPORTANT, SINGLE FORM, LOLI HUMAN WEAKLING!" the fox yelled at Moeka almost mimicking a drill sergeant. "TIME TO SEE IF YOU EARNED THAT HEADBAND THAT I GAVE YA! YOU ARE GONNA RUN AROUND THE VILLAGE BUILT ON THE CLOUDS 50 TIMES WITH NO REST! IF YOU CAN'T DO THAT THEN ITS 100 PUSH UPS! AND IF YOU CAN'T DO THAT 200 SIT UPS! YOU GET THE GIST, FAIL ONE, DOUBLE YOUR EFFORTS ON SOMETHING ELSE! Maru yelled, calming down then laid back in his splendid royal palanquin. The palanquin is mostly black in coloration, with golden trim lining the top and edges. Two steps lead to the seat, which has purple cushions. The purple cloth attached to the exterior of the palanquin's top was drawn and tied to the beams of the vehicle so Maru could see Moeka. The palanquin bearers, of which were four large red oni, held the vehicle up with the black bars that are on it's side.
Maru swished around his saké bowl, then took a sip from it handing the bowl behind him in which the lazy Jounin had one of his smaller Youkai LOUD pour him another drink from a saké jar so he can drink again. A bit unfair since Maru didn't need to walk if he had servants that would hold him up so he could look down upon the child. The four Oni looked at the large gapes, wondering how they would be able to hold up their commander while he drank. They needed to jump across certain portions if he wished to watch his apprentice and they'd have to run. Needless to say it could be a bumpy ride. Of course, Maru ignored this fact to continue drinking, wondering when the child would start the running.
