Akari POV

We have still had a lot of time left, I sigh. I have been laying down on the floor playing with my tail (Normal form) for a while and I was getting really bored. Maybe I can take a nap. I thought staring at the ceiling.

"Is the ceiling that interesting?" Kurapika asked me, taking his nose out of his book. "Not really..." I groan "I'm really bored." 

"Do you want to read a book with me?" He asked gesturing for me to sit next to him. "No, I'm good," I say, returning to staring at the ceiling. "You sure you just said you were bored staring at the ceiling, yet here you are doing it again," He said teasing me. I groan in frustration and flip over so my face meets the floor.

"You don't have to. You can just hang out with the floor. I see you two are getting along well." He smiled.

I got up and went closer to him and sighed, "It's not that I want to hang out with the floor" I took a moment to look at the carpet. "I don't know how to read very well, no one taught me properly. I can read enough so I can live. For example, food names on menus, peoples names, some random words, and uuummmmm yeah."

"Hmm I didn't know that." He said understandingly. "Who taught you to read those things?" He asked. 

"Satoz and netero taught me the basics and how to speak correctly in general, but after that, they gave up on teaching me it. Later on, some of my friends helped me out, but by what my past friends say is that most of the time I'm completely wrong." I finished and laughed.

"Do you want me to try and help you out?" He offered "Ok, but only if you want to. By the way, I'm pretty hopeless, so feel free to give up whenever." I said with a shrug.

I bet he's thinking: how hard can it be?

Kurapika took out some books for second graders in the shelf and handed them to me and said, "Ok to start off I need to know how well you can read on your own ." 

-time skip- 3rd POV

It was about 20 minutes later when Akari decided she was done with the title of the book and two pages. She asked Kurapika if she got it right, and he said absolutely not.

If looked closely his soul could be seen trying to escape from his body.

(AN- I'm going to write how she sounds it out on parenthesis. the dashes (-) are her pausing when sounding out the one word. For example: ( sweat-ish   fe-sh) is sweetish fish (man-age-re) is manager (es-k-book) is sketchbook. BTW she knows how to speak well but can barely read and can only write her name and a few food names.)

(Tip: It's more interesting when you read it part by part out loud )

"Ok," He recovered "You guessed the title page was :  (o-wow    tah-he   pl-a-keys  why-le   go  bee  dur. Sweets) and it was ''Oh, The Places You'll Go By Dr. Suess'' " He forcibly laughs with a pained face then takes a deep breath.

This is going to be a nightmare. He thought.

30 minutes later she finally said the title correctly with kurapikas help.

Another hour has passed and Kurapika was still trying to help Akari try to sound out the words on page 2.

TS

Kurapika was exhausted. "I give in. You win. No more. Your impossible to teach" He sulked and by this time his soul was about to leave his body. "Yess!! I win! Haha, netero is gonna laugh when he hears about this." She cheered.

"Why are you cheering?" Gon asked while still trying his best to beat killua at Mario Kart and asked Akari. " I won! I killed kurapika!" She said laughing. "WHAT!?!" Killua shouted perplexed, thinking why would she kill her friend?
