Life with Koga
Chapter 14
By Alicia Maxwell
Several days later, Ginta returned with a very confused Rem in tow. I soon discovered that Rem had never learned to read for herself and had always relied on Sesshomaru to read for her. Apparently, Sesshomaru was not around to read to her and Ginta quite clearly lacked the intellect to decipher it on his own so they just came, neither knowing what was going on.
"Alicia, what the hell is this? You send this guy to kidnap me or somethin'? I thought we were past those days," Rem rolled her eyes at me.
"Didn't you get the letter?" I asked curiously. Koga flashed a glare at Ginta.
"Does the word illiterate mean anything to you? Because that's what Sesshomaru always says about me…" she murmured.
"You mean you can't read for yourself?" I stared, open-mouthed.
"Neither can this guy apparently," Rem pointed over her shoulder at Ginta.
"Sorry," I forced an awkward smile.
"S'alright. So, what's this I hear about another batch of cubs in the oven?" Rem laughed softly.
"Six of them this time, Rem."
"Six? Damn, aren't you satisfied yet?"
"Ask him that," I said monotonously as I pointed to Koga.
"What the hell's that supposed to mean?" Koga demanded.
"Hey, I just like to play with kids," I answered, "You're the one who made sure that I'd have so many of my own that I'd never play with someone else's kids."
"Are you saying--?"
"You know what I'm saying," I interrupted insistently. "So, Rem, how are you?"
"Same old, same old. It's been a while," she remarked.
"Certainly has been. No, wait, it's only been a month, you liar!" I glared.
"I know. I know. Just can't help joking with you," Rem chuckled.
"You know that's not fair," I whined. "After all this time… I thought you would have gotten to know me better."
"What do you mean?" she cocked an eyebrow, intrigued.
"Well, I always get revenge for injustice wrought upon myself or my house. And by now, I also hoped you would have realized my pattern of developing three prong retaliation tactics."
"Ah, yes, you really overdo it."
"Indeed I do. So anyway wanna go get something to eat and then go swimming?"
"ALRIGHT!"
A/N: Ok, yeah this chapter is short but I wrote it while suffering a hyper-crash after being… "hopped up" (for lack of a better term) on pure lemon juice. So I don't really have patience or concentration to write with.
