5: ILA Lessons

"What is that supposed to say?" Moro asked as she pointed. They were in a dirt road where Enishi had brought two sticks with him to help her with spelling. The letters in the dirt spelled out H-O-W-L.

"It says Howl." he said.

"How-el?" Moro asked curiously. Enishi nodded, and then he spelled out another word. The letters spelled out W-A-R-R-I-O-R.

"That says Warrior." Enishi said to her. Moro only looked at the word, and tried to say it.

"War-ee-ore?.." she said puzzled. Enishi nodded once again, but added, "Try pronouncing it like this." and added two dashes in the word.

"War-ri-or.." she said. Enishi nodded again with satisfaction. Moro smiled at the progress she had made, and Enishi gave her a wide grin. As the two continued the spelling lesson, Enishi wanted to teach her more. He wanted her to become a human instead of what she was to become out there. Then she could live with him forever, and he liked that idea. He began to like her even more now, and wanted to treat her more than a servant and more than just a friend. He wondered if she began to feel that way around him too.

"Enishi..." she said to him. He only nodded for her to continue.

"Why are you teaching me this? It's all so..strange." she finished. Enishi was silent for some time, and Moro wondered if she should have asked him.

"I..." he started. He felt so hot and sweaty, he didn't really know how to answer that. Before he could start again, two butterflies landed. One on Enishi's right shoulder, the other on Moro's left. 'Pretty...' Moro thought as she looked at the butterfly on Enishi's shoulder. He got the courage then to tell her some of his feelings.

"I..I'm teaching you this cause I...I want you to...after your servantship is done I want you to stay here with the rest of us in Iron Town. You've made some great progress here and I..I just don't want you to leave." he said to her and began to blush bright red. Moro had no clue what to say. She blinked several times and thought, 'What is this feeling?..I feel...all warm...and...I feel as I have butterlies in my stomach...'

"Enishi..." she started and then looked down at the ground, her heart pounding like crazy. Enishi only looked at her, and wondered what she was going to tell him. His heart raced, and he needed to know, he needed to know as soon as possible before he lost it.

"Enishi I..I'm glad that you..don't want me to leave but..." she started with a smile, but then sighed, and a sad look replaced her smile. At this the two butterflies flew off into the distance. Enishi didn't like the looks of this, and quickly said, "Uh..Hahaha I'm sorry that was a strange thing I guess to say. Come on I want to show you something." and before Moro could say anything, he grabbed her hand and led her to his secret place hidden deep beneath the forest.

"San." her brother said to her.

"What is it? Is something the matter have they hurt Moro?" San asked

"No. It is nothing like that. But they are destroying her. That human boy is teaching her their ways, he is showing affection for her. It is tearing her apart from being one of us." her other brother replied.

"I was afraid of this...I hope that when she comes back she will leave her foolish humanity behind." San said and gritted her teeth.

"We saw the human take her somewhere in the forest. He said he wanted to show her something, and took her by the hand. Should we follow?" the older brother asked. San only nodded, and the wolves ran after the two, their scent a dead giveaway.
