Letter's

Well here is another story for you all. I hope you enjoy it. I had been thinkin this idea over and over in my head and so I think you all will like it. So here is another Sesshomaru and Rin fic for all of my readers out there.

Being a teacher wasn't easy. Especially when I was so young. I was fresh out of college and ready to see what I could do to help kids that needed the help. I had been waiting on a call for over a week and the day I finally decided to sleep in is the day I get a call.

"Hello?" I answered the phone. "Yes is this Ms. Nakamura?" The man on the other end asked. "Yes this is she." I waited for the man to answer. "Well Ms. Nakamura we have and opening still here for the fifth grade. If you still want the job that is." He said to me. "Yes of course I would love it." I said to him.

He told me when they expected to see me and that I would have to go through some training and meetings. I wrote all the information down and then said goodbye to the man. "Finally a job. YES!" I shouted and then called Kagome to tell her the good news. When Kagome answered she was thrilled and took me shopping for the job. Of course Inuyasha tagged along.

"So Rin did you know that the military is doing a solider letter buddy." Kagome asked me. I shook my head no and waited for her to go on. "Well the military asked some schools to have some classes write letters to the soldiers. Because some don't get letters at all." She said. I nodded again. "Maybe that could be a weekly thing I can have the kids do. I will see if our school is doing it and if not is there a way you can get me addresses for some of the men?" I asked her. We then both turned to Inuyasha and he sighed and nodded.

"Hey Inuyasha don't you have a family member in the military?" I asked him. "Wasn't it and Uncle or something?" I asked again. "No its my brother." He said to me. I shrugged and then blew him off and talked about clothes to Kagome.

After a month I finally have my first day of class. The students were very quite and then I handed them a piece of paper of all the things we would be going over for the year. "Do any of you have a question?" I asked them. One little girl raised her hand. "Yes?" I asked her.

She hesitated a moment and then spoke. "What do you mean we have to write at least six letters for the whole year? And how are you grading it?" She asked. All the other students groaned and gave her dirty looks. "Hey now that's a very good question. "By letters I mean we will be at least once a week write a letter to a solider who isn't home and probably wont be home for a while." I said. For each letter you write its half a test grade. When you write three letters that equals up to have a quiz grade." I said to them.

No one said anything. Finally the day ended and the students left. I sighed in relief and then looked over the list of soldier's I had and noticed I had an extra man on the list. "Mm...maybe I will write to one too." I said and then left myself and went home.

That night I went over the lesson plans I had ready for the week and then before I knew it I had crashed out on my couch. Because it was a new school year the first day was on Friday so that's making today Saturday. I smiled and then hopped into the shower and then got dressed. I ate a bowl of cereal and then made a dash for outside to go for a walk.

I went shopping in my favorite craft store and found a bunch of things to do with the kids during the cold weather. I smiled and then bought a bunch of it and smiled even more when my membership awards card got me a big discount. I then took my prizes and ran to my car and then went home.

I organized the things I got and then went about to making my quilt for Kagome. She asked me to make it out of things she has memories about. So of course I said yes and went about it. Finally after an hour of working I took a break and then looked at the list and then grabbed a piece of paper and started a letter to a soldier.

I wrote about what the media says and then before I ended the letter I asked if there is anything that I could send to him and his men that they might need. It could be a project the kids work on. I sealed the envelope and then ran it done to the mail box to be mailed off.

I went back to my apartment and then assigned kids the people they would be writing too and then called it a night. I smiled that night knowing that someone would get a letter and know that someone a stranger at that cared enough to make sure they knew they were thought of.

It was the second week of school and I decided to wait and hold the letter writing for a few weeks just to get in the swing of things. I went and checked my mail box to find a letter in it. It was a reply to the letter I had sent. I went to the classroom and ate my lunch as I read my letter.

Dear Ms. Rin,

I must admit I was surprised when I received your letter. I was not expecting such a thing to come. I must also admit that it reminds me that the only letters I receive come from my parents. After reading I understood why you sent it to me. I think it is somewhat odd that a bunch of children wish to write men they do not know letters. But some of the men think it would be great something about humanity. But what would I know of such things I am a demon. But even some demons agree with the letter. As for supplies some of the men need socks or new undershirts. But to be sure I would make sure your students ask them in their own letters.

I nodded to the letter and then looked at the clock. I still had time to start a letter and then finish it later. I then got a piece of paper out and started on a letter to a man who I didn't know and in hopes that it would help him later on in life. I had already wrote a page when the bell rang and then I put it away and then started my next lesson.

My students were very well behaved which is surprising considering everyone said they were monsters. I ended the day by giving the class five math problems to do for homework. The other teachers keep telling me to assign more work but I don't see the point when they get most of it done in class to begin with.

"An remember if you need extra help don't hesitate to come ask me. Its my job to help you and make sure you understand what I am trying to teach you." I said to them. They didn't say a thing but I was surprised when a little boy who goes by the name Kyo raised his hand. "Yes?" I asked him. He put his hand down and looked at me. "I thought teachers didn't want to help us. We are bad aren't we?" He asked.

I sighed and shook my head. "No your not bad students as all. You all do as I ask and never make a fuss about it. In fact I think you all are pretending to be students and you are all something else." I said making them laugh and then they left and said their goodbyes.

I made my way home and then pulled out my notebook and went back to writing my letter to the man I picked to be my soldier buddy. I wrote back thanking him for the letter and telling him that the letters from the children would be arriving as early as in two weeks. I thanked him for the advice on asking the men what they need and then asked him if he needed anything personally.

I once again sealed the letter and wrote the address and then ran down stairs and placed it in the mailbox and then went back to my apartment and headed for bed. I was tired and needed some sleep for tomorrow because tomorrow was going to be the start of letter writing. I decided we would rough draft a letter on Monday and then send the letter by Friday. This giving the children a chance to think of what to write and to learn how to spell and and learn to write properly.

I once again went to bed with a smile on my face and had no issues sleeping. I knew this pen-pal would be a great idea for not only the students but the soldiers as well. They needed communication just as much as the next person if not even more. I fell asleep fast that night thinking about the letter the man would soon read.

Alright here is chapter one. I know its not very long but this is what I have so far. What do you think? I wanted to do somethin different and this is the most different I could think of. Please if you have any ideas then send them my way. I always like to hear what my readers have to say.
