Dear Miyoshi,

Does Inuyasha know how to spell his name? I heard he can't.

Sincerely,

Clueless in Seattle

Miyoshi looks over to where Inuyasha is currently scratching his back against a tree and tells him he got a letter. With a bound and a leap, he snatches the letter from her hands and proceeds to read it on the spot. Unfortunately, he runs into some difficulty.

"Um, Miyoshi, can you tell me what she means by this?" Inuyasha points to the letter, starting to get ticked.

"Whatever do you mean by that?" Miyoshi says confused.

"I mean, can you read what she says in the letter." He is now very flustered.

"Oh…you mean you can't read?" Miyoshi's eyes start to sparkle with happiness.

"I CAN READ STUPID! I JUST CAN'T READ HER SPELLING!"

" Its typed."

"…."

Dear Clueless,

Upon reading your note, I showed the letter to Inuyasha and promptly had to fear for my life. As a guardian of the Great Lady Shimiko, it is my solemn duty to protect those of her family, even if they are rather dumb. So, in answer to your question, let us hear a quote by a wise monk "If one cannot read, then one cannot write."

Miroku, who had been leaning over Miyoshi's shoulder reading the note, began to smile and nod his head.

"Spoken like a true man of Buddha. By the way, who said that quote?"

"You."

Dear Miyoshi,

Is Miroku as perverted as people think he is? And would he still be as perverted if the wind tunnel was finally gone because they beat Naraku?

Sincerely,

Inuyasha's Wife

Dear ….Inuyasha's wife,

I did not know the brute even had a wife….anyways, back to the subject of Miroku-sama.

He is perverted enough, thank-you very much. I believe it is actually due to the fact that he has the wind tunnel and if it were gone he would be a gentle, loving, and carin-

Miyoshi looked up to find that Miroku was staring at what she just wrote.

"Yes?"

"Do you really think that's why I'm perverted ?" Miroku innocently asked.

"Why yes, I do actually, and… I was wondering if you wanted to answer the rest of this question while I go check the mail?" She started to hastily leave the table. The look he was giving her gave her chills. But not the kind of chills she wanted to feel at that moment…

So, in continuation of this answer, I Miroku, shall personally write this. First of all, I am not a pervert; contrary to popular belief...

Ahem, now as for this "wind tunnel". Did you by any chance mean my Kazana?

I do not know what the outcome of our final battle with Naraku will bring, but rest assured that this strong, brave, handsome, 5'9" single male – I mean monk - will prevail any danger for a maiden of great beauty. You are a maiden correct? Because if you're not, I am going to start doubting everything about Inuyasha and his "affair" with Kikyo. Now, if your husband has been away for a long time, I may be able to do a private chat with you on the ways of Buddha to provide solace. Justsend me your address and a picture of you and I'll be right over. If you have any female friends that are inthe same lonely position as yourself, just invite them over too. We can all learn a GREAT many THINGs from Buddha.

Affactionately,

Miroku-sama

P.S.

I hope you won't mind if I enclose a picture of myself, would you?Ah yes, and a picture of your husband with his "new" fling. I think you'll find it rather intriguing...

Dear Miyoshi,

Is Miroku also familiar with the Shinto religion? And what would he think of Christianity if someone explained it to him?

Curiously,

Mizu

-&-

Miroku reads the letter, a look of knowing coming to his features. Quickly, he grabs one of Kagome's encyclopedias from the library.

(A/N: they live in this huge house, that is more like a palace, since Miyoshi wants Kagome to finish her studies. That way "The Dog" will be in perfect sight for grounding. )

Miroku then picks up a fine haired brush, best grade ink, and the best paper,

then promptly begins to write out his reply.

-&-

Dearest Mizu,

It is not Miyoshi who will be answering this letter, but the one and only Miroku.

Yes, I do know of the Shinto religion. I am faced with it everyday of my life since most of the Countryside is still using the Old religion. I hope that you noticed many of the outfits that the Priestesses wear are from the Shinto religion, even the art of Archery. Why, I even battle demons from Shinto lore! I even have a companion that is from Shinto lore. You might know him, he has white hair, dog ears, and runs around with an overly huge sword….

But enough about him, let us discuss this "Christianity". I have heard Lady Kagome speak of this strange religion from over the sea. I find it rather interesting, but a subject that would take days for me to try and understand it fully. Therefore, until I can understand it better, I tend not to say my views on it.

Now, if you want to hear my views, just send me a lovely photo of yourself, your address and a day when we can meet. I shall be over there promptly to explain my views.

Affectionately,

Miroku-sama

P.S.

I need to have a date set so that way I have an excuse to leave. Sango doesn't seem to trust me after that last letter I received…

Dear Miyoshi,

What is the meaning of the words "Kataang" and "Zutara"?

Thats all I ever seem to hear these days.

Sincerely,

One Very Confused Water Bender

-&-

Miyoshi glances through Google and is shocked at the meaning behind the words.

Blushing furiously at the thought of what happens,

she quickly writes a small note, then proceeds to answer the letter.

-&-

Dear Water Bender,

(Sokka, I know it's you, your strokes are off...and squiggly looking...)

Since you have written to me before concerning the fate

of your beloved little sister, I can only warn you that you shouldn't loose your temper

upon completetion of this letter...or even half way.

Ahem...

On to anwering your questions:

"Kataang" , from what I've been told, means a love story about your sister and Aang.
After reading this, I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what "Zutara" entails.

Sincerely,

Miyoshi

-&-

Miyoshi then pulls out the note she had scribbled on before and finishes it.

Then she seals both and sends them off,

where they are promptly recieved by a

wary group of travellers (minus a bison)...

-&-

Dear Katara,

I'm sure you'll reach this letter before your brother does. (Or before he recieves his...)

I can only hope that he hasn't had a fit and threatened to kill anyone.

He asked me a question concerning some words that have been thrown around describing relationships you might have with...certain characters...

You know what I mean, so stop pretending to be naive. (I heard about that necklace incident...)

If your brother is as smart as I think he is, he will find out, and when he does

I am sure there will be one Fire Nation (ex) Prince missing in action.

Sincerely,

Miyoshi (drawn smiley face)
