Chapter 4- The 1st session

****************

Miaka, Tatara, and Yui were all sitting around Miaka's dinning room table. Miaka's mom had an errand to run, and said she'd be back in two hours, leaving the three of them alone...

"Maybe we should have some study snacks!" Miaka said getting up from the table, but Yui caught her hand before she could walk off.

"Miaka! It's 5, and you haven't started. You know that with food around you'll stuff your face instead of study." Yui scolded.

"Yui-sama is right. Food is a distraction." Tatara agreed, and motioned for Miaka to sit again.

"One second please Mr Tsuonie. I need a quick word with Yui." Miaka said frowning at Yui, and dragging her off to Miaka's bedroom. "What are you doing? I'm trying to leave you two alone."

"Huh? Why?" Yui looked at her confusedly.

"And I'm the one being tutored? YOU LIKE HIM!" Miaka yelled.

"Will you SHUT UP?!?!?!?" Yui smacked Miaka, and watched Miaka rubbed the back of her head.

"ooouch!"

"Sorry. I just don't want to be alone with him yet. I don't know what to say. So let's just play it by ear. I'll kick you..." Miaka glared at Yui "...lightly of course, when I know what I want to say, and you make an excuse to leave."

"Sure, and you better make sure you kick lightly!" Miaka said walking out of the room. Tatara was sitting there smiling brightly, and it made Yui wonder if he had heard what Miaka said. Yui blushed a bit, and sat down quickly.

As soon as Tatara and Miaka began their session Yui began to join in a bit. She'd ask questions she knew the answers to just to get his attention, just to see him smile at her and answer. He was a very intelligent man, and Yui couldn't help but stare at him. Her homework was going to take her twice as long if they kept going at this pace though, so when he was helping Miaka she would quickly slide another book infront of the one she was doing, and study two subjects at once. He was going slow with Miaka because...well... Miaka is a bit...slow. Not stupid, but just... slow. She did have her moments! When she wanted to of course... Yui's concentration was broken when Tatara asked to be excused to go to the bathroom. Once he was in the bathroom Miaka asked, "Why haven't you kicked me yet?"

"Why would I kick you?" Yui asked totally dazed.

"Again I ask, why am I the one being tutored? This is your plan! So do something already! We've been studying for the past hour and 45 minutes, and all you can do is stare and drool."

"I am not drooling!" Yui said frowning at Miaka.

"Whatever! I'm going to go to the bathroom once he gets out, and you better talk to him or else! My mom will be here in about 15 minutes. If she gets here, and you don't even know his age, then I'll fire him and that will be the end of it. I'm only getting tutored to help you out." Miaka said glaring at Yui.

"Fine, fine. I'll talk to him."

"And what's with you asking all those questions. I know that you must have known all the answers."Miaka said. Yui only shrugged in response. She wanted his attention. Was that so bad?

Tatara returned, and Miaka excused herself leaving Yui and Tatara alone to sit in silence. He asked her if there was anything she didn't understand, and in order to break the silence Yui said yes, and asked him to explain a theory that she already knew like the back of her hand. After a while she decided to take a chance and start a real conversation with him. "You really know this stuff. I always figured that everyone always forgot everything once they got outta college. No need for it after then."

"You're always going to need this information, even after college. Plus, I'm not out of college. I haven't even started it yet."

"You haven't? How old are you?"

"I'm 18."

"You could have fooled me."

"A lot of people think I'm between 20 and 25. I don't really see it, but I never question the opinions of others. Everyone's entitled to his or her own say."

"You have a very open mind about people. Why? Why trust the opinion of others when their opinion is clearly wrong?"

"How do you know what is truly right from what is wrong?" Tatara asked. He eyes were burning into Yui's, and their faces were inches apart, and it was at that moment Miaka decided would be best to return from the bathroom.

"Ready to finish the last couple of pages of Chemistry?" Miaka said literally bouncing in the room.

"Of course." Tatara said turning towards Miaka, and continuing the lesson.

Yui had already finished her work, and was now pretending to be studying. She kept her head in her book, but snuck peeks at Tatara point things out to Miaka. She watched him as he smiled whenever Miaka got something right. She watched his brow crease while he sat in concentration trying to explain the concept as simply as he could to get Miaka to understand it better. 'He trully is an amazing man... guy... whatever an 18 year old would be considered.' Yui thought smiling to herself.
