Cheng heard Roju Horatami's voice. He opened his eyes and saw him standing right next to him. He quickly bowed down, almost kissing the flor while doing it, with his sword infront of him.
"Sensei I do not deserve to look you into the eyes. I can only dream to achive the honor you have now.."
He continued to stare into the floor and talk
"I am not one for great speaches or festivals sensei. I like silence, I am that kind of man I guess."
"But please do not trouble yourself by worrying about me. I shall be fine here where I am..."
He quickly glanced at the great Taishogun. He was surrounded by guards and advisors. Cheng's eyes were glowing everytime he glanced at the Taishogun.
"Our Master is busy, I do not know why they burden buerocracy and politics upon a already troubled mind."
"I am positive that our Master will clense Kusari from its filth..."
Cheng retreated back to the shadow of that corner in which he sat, and, by doing so, he still avoided to look sensei Horatami into the eyes, for he felt that he was not worthy.
He closed his eyes and muttered one more sentence...
"You are a great Roju and brother sensei Horatami. I do not even know if I deserve to call myself one of your brethren, but it is an honor to have you by my side in battle."
He took a deep breath and waited for the announcement's of the Taishogun.
