8. Koga's Letter

The next morning, Souta sat at the kitchen table writing somthing. Koga sat down and watched him. Souta didn't seem to mind.

"Watcha doin kid?" Kouga asked.

"Writing a letter to my friend." Souta replied.

"Are you sure it's not...you girlfriend," Koga kidded.

"Shud up!" Souta laughed.

"Oh ho ho! So it is your girlfriend!" Koga laughed to.

"No!" Souta showed him the paper. "It's to my friend and he's a guy."

Koga continued watching Souta until an idea flashed into his head. "Hey! I'll send letters to them!"

"Who now?" Asked Souta.

"Er...two people back where I live." Koga grabbed a peice of paper. "Okay, so how does this 'letter writting' process work?"

Souta leaned over. "Easy. You just write down what you want to say and send it. Make sure you put who its to and who its from."

Koga just sat there. "Speak english please."

Souta slapped his head giggling. "You're hopless."

"Hey! Just exactly what are you sugessting?" Koga slammed his fist on the table.

"Okay, first, you need to learn how to read." Souta ran into the living room and returned with a magazine. "Take the 'World's Sexiest Men' magazine for instance."

"Oh come on." Kouga said when Kagome walked in. "I'm the worlds sexiest man." He flexed. "See?"

Kagome notice and giggled.

"That's not the point." Souta was also giggling again. "I'm going to teach you the basic words." So, sout showed him some basic words sucha as the, why, who, what, when, where, what, how, was and stuff like that. Then he taught Koga how to read some sentences like "He was eighteen when this happened." or "His cat practically led him to fame." All of this was confusing for Koga, but he learned a little bit about reading and writing at least.

"Give it a shot." Souta handed Koga a pencil.

Koga fidled with the strange contraption for some time until Souta showed him how to hold the darn thing. Each time oga began to write the pencil broke. Souta told him to write lighter. That time it was harder to read. Souta suggested a little darker. Not to light. Not to dark. Finally. After a long time of working at that one letter, with Souta's help, it read:

Dear Ginta and Hakkaku,

How are you? I am okay and alive. I am at Kagome's house. I will come back soon until I'm able to go through the well again.

Hope you can read this,

Koga

"Good job Koga." Souta held out his hand for a high-five.

Koga starred at the hand.

"You truely are hopless." Souta said, rolling his eyes.
