9. How To Get The Letter Through The Well
Koga and Souta ran out into the well-house to send the letter. Koga dropped the letter into the well. Nothing. Souta starred into the shadowy hole.
"So, exactly how is it going to get through to them?" Souta asked turning to look up at his demon friend.
"Good question." Koga jumped into the well and grabbed the letter. He whispered a promise that just flashed into his head. Nothing still. Silence. He jumped back out. "Hmm."
Souta thought for a moment and announced, "I got it!" He said it so loud that it made Koga jump. "I played a mystery game once and somthing like this happened. You had to make a promise to get through right, Koga?"
"Yeah." Koga kneeled down beside Souta.
"Then, the letter itself might have to make a promise." Souta finished.
Instantly Koga was out the door. As he ran for the house he yelled back, 'thank you Souta!" He was gone.
Souta stood there for a moment. "Eh? Hey! Wait for me!" He raced after Koga.
When both boys were in the house Koga told souta to write I promise on the back of the letter.
"But why just I promise? Shouldn't you put a promise?" Souta asked.
"Can a letter keep a promise? It's kinda like cheating, ya know?" Koga answered.
"Ooooh." Souta took a pencil and wrote I promise on the back of the letter. "Here ya go."
Koga took the letter and they both ran back out into the well-house. Koga dropped the letter into the well and it poofed in a cloud of purple smoke. Just when they started to celebrate by calling out happily Souta stopped.
"Uh, how are they going to get the letter?"
