Chapter IV: Inuyasha's Tutor
Kagome quickly closed the door. She had no idea Sesshoumaru was using the bathroom. She waited outside till he finished before going in.
Sesshoumaru released the breath he had been holding. Thank god she only barged in after he was done taking care of business. If she has opened the door two seconds sooner, she would have caught him masturbating. God what was wrong with him. The littlest thing gave him a hard-on. When did he become a sex-crazed lunatic? What the hell did he get himself into? How was he going to be Kagome if the mere sight of her luscious body set him on fire? This was crazy. What was he going to do? He heard the bathroom opened and watched Kagome coming back to bed. She was wearing one of his jerseys and he had to admit she looked good in it. She lied back down next to him and turned to face him.
"Sorry, I barged in one you like that." She said.
"It's alright."
"Let's get some sleep, we have school tomorrow."
"Okay."
Inuyasha sighed as he walked down the hall toward the school library. It was that time of the day again when he have to meet with his tutor. This semester he had to take a foreign language to fulfill the requirements for graduation. He had chosen French. For the most part, he like it except the verb tenses, vocabulary words, and all those other grammatical mumbo jumbo he had to remember. His teacher had recommended that he get a tutor. So he did. Her name was Alexandra but he called her Alex. She was pretty nice and friendly. They got along great.
Alex was waiting for him when he reached the library.
"Hey Alex." He smiled.
"Hi Inuyasha." She said.
"What's up?"
"Oh nothing special. How about you?"
"The usual. Teachers are pestering me. Kikyou bitched at me then we make up. Sesshoumaru being his usual arrogant self and making me miserable. Kagome's the pacifist. Miroku's still a pervert and Sango slapped him. Did I leave anything out?" he asked.
"Nope, I think you have everything." She laughed.
The librarian shushed them.
"Come on."
She led in the back of the library to an empty room. The room was reserved for tutoring and was always empty this time of the day. That's why they had chosen to see each other this period instead and the fact that he like to talk to Alex. Besides Kagome, she was the only one that truly understood and listened to what he had to say without being judgmental.
"So what do you need help with today?" She asked.
"I have test tomorrow." He said.
"Want me to help you study?"
"Sure."
"Okay. We can start with vocabulary then we can review verb tense and anything else."
"I made study guide."
"You did?"
"Yeah."
"Well let see it."
"Madame Lajeunesse gave it to us. We had to fill it out."
"Then let's use it for your review."
He took the paper out of his backpack and handed it to her. She skimmed it then asked.
"Did you study?"
"Ummm…Sorta."
"Then you won't mind a quick test?"
"Go ahead."
"Okay. I'll say something and you have to translate it in French."
He nodded.
"My best friend's name is Inuyasha."
"Mon meilleur ami s'appelle Inuyasha."
"Good. Now say, 'you have no idea how much I want to meet you."
"Tu ne peux pas imaginer à quel point j'ai envie de te rencontrer."
"Tres bien."
They do a few more translation and moved on to the vocabulary words, verbs, and grammar. She had him read a short poem in French and translate it back to her. She was impressed by how much he knew.
"Very good, Inuyasha. You're going to ace this test."
He smiled. He was secretly glad that she had so much faith in him. It wasn't something that happened often to him. People don't usually praise his accomplishments. But with Alex, it was the complete opposite. She always complimented him on his achievements not matter how small they were. And he liked it. He liked her. He liked when she smiled at him. He liked when she talked to him. She made him feel special.
"Well, we have half an hour left. You can leave if you want."
"What? You're getting sick of my company already?" he teased.
"No."
"I was kidding."
She punched him lightly and stuck her tongue out.
"You're such a meanie."
He laughed.
"Do you want to hang out with me and my friends?" He asked.
"Sure."
"Well, come on."
They left the library and made their way to the football field in the back of the school. Everyone was there except for Kikyou.
"Hey, guys."
"Hey Inu." Sango and Kagome said.
Miroku and Sesshoumaru just nodded.
"Do you know where Kikyou is?" He asked.
"She said she was going to Kagura's house and that she'll see you later."
"Oh! Well, anyway. This is Alex."
They all waved and said hi.
"Do you think Kikyou might be cheating on Inuyasha?" Kagome asked.
Kagome and Sesshoumaru were in his room at his father's mansion. She was laying down on his bed while he was sitting at the foot of the bed on the floor playing his guitar.
"Why do you ask?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"She's been spending a lot of time at Kagura's house."
"You think she's a homosexual?"
"No."
"Then how she be cheating on him?"
"I meant with Naraku, silly."
He shrugged.
"I wouldn't be surprise if she was." He stated.
"Why do you say that?"
"No offense, but your cousin is a slut."
"Sess…"
"What? She hit on me."
"Well, that's different."
"How is that any different?"
"I don't know. It just is."
"If you say so."
"Let's not talk about this anymore."
"Okay. What do you want to talk about?"
"I think Inuyasha has a crush on Alex."
"His tutor?"
"Yeah and I think she likes him too."
"How do you know?"
"Well, I'm not really sure. Call it female intuition."
"Or noisiness."
"Hey, I'm not noisy."
He cocked his eyebrow.
"Well, maybe I'm a little bit. It's a female's priority to gossip."
"Everything is female priorities."
"That's not true."
"Oh really, Remember the first we went on a date, you made me wait for hours and when you finally came down, you told me that it's a woman's prerogative to be late."
"You only waited fifteen minutes."
"It felt longer to me especially when your grandfather asking me all these weird questions. He even asked me if my parents had told me about the birds and bees. I'm never been more horrified in my entire life."
She laughed.
"Yeah, grandpa can be a little crazy sometimes."
"A little?"
"Well okay, he's nuts but I'm not sending him to the funny house just yet."
"Let's go do something. I'm bored just sitting in here."
"What do you want to do?"
"I don't know."
"Do you want to go see a movie?"
"No."
"Go out to eat?"
"I'm not hungry."
"Well, what do you want to do?"
"Ride my motorcycle."
"You want to ride your motorcycle?"
"Yeah!"
"But it's cold outside."
"Oh! Come on. I'll race you."
She eyed him skeptically then said.
"You're on."
That was one of her favorite thing about having a boyfriend who was into extreme sports. Sesshoumaru had two motorcycles and two dirt bikes besides his car. He owned several skateboards, BMX bikes, and snowboards. He made it his mission to teach her how to ride them too. He even bought her a leather tracksuit so she could ride with him which she was going to need since it was cold outside. It was the beginning of March. It hasn't snow but it was still cold.
Alex closed her locker and come face to face with Inuyasha. He was grinning ear to ear. She couldn't help but smile. He was so cute. She just love it when he smiled.
"What are you so happy about?" She asked.
He shoved a paper in her face as a response.
"What's that?" She asked.
"Look."
She took the paper from his hand and looked at it. It was his French exam and he got an A-
"Wow, Inuyasha. That's awesome. I mean c'est manifique"
"I know and it's all thanks to you."
"I didn't do anything."
"Yes you did. You helped me a lot."
"But you're the one who did all the studying."
"That's because I wanted to impress you." He whispered to himself.
"What? She asked.
"Nothing."
"Oh! Okay. Well, I have to go. I'll see you later."
"Wait."
"What?"
"I was wondering if you wanted to…hang out with me after school…and maybe we can get something to eat."
"What would your girlfriend make out of that?"
"Why would she make something out of it?"
"I don't know. I don't really have the time. I have to work after school."
"Oh!"
He sounded disappointed. She wanted to hang out with him but she didn't think it'd be such a good idea. She liked Inuyasha a lot but being so close to him might compromise a few things. She didn't think she'd be able to hide her feelings anymore but she couldn't let him know about them either. If he found out, their friendship will be over and she rather have him as a friend then not having him at all.
"What about tomorrow."
His face brightened up.
"Alright."
"Cool."
"See ya."
"Yeah! See ya."
She watched as he walked. Alex sighed. Inuyasha really had no idea how much she wanted him to ask her out. She'd been dying for him to do so since the first time she laid eyes on him last year. She was so happy when she was appointed to be his tutor. Being his tutor gave her the perfect opportunity to learn lots of thing about him. He was such a great guy. It's too bad that he was going out with Kikyou. That bitch didn't even appreciate him. She treated him terribly. Inuyasha had told her that Kikyou barely spent anytime with him. She was always with Kagura and her brother, Naraku. That guy freaked her out. He was just so weird. There were something about him that sent her senses on red alert and a little voice to whisper 'beware' in her head. She was more than happy to keep away from him and she was glad he did the same.
The bell rang, effectively taking her out of her reveries.
Kikyou was currently in her gym class. She watched detachedly as the other students ran around the indoor basketball court. The teacher had asked that they each ran around five times. She did it and went to sit with her friend, Kagura. Kagura was her best friend. They had been friends since they were in diapers. They told each other everything. They kept absolutely no secrets from each other.
"Rumors has it that your boy toy have his eyes on someone else, a certain tutor of his." Kagura said.
"What are you talking about?"
"I heard that Inuyasha had asked her out."
"When did you hear that?"
"Right before class."
"That's ridiculous. Inuyasha is too loyal to do something like that?"
"Well you certainly know how to reciprocate that loyalty."
"What the hell are you implying now?"
"Nothing. I just pointing out that fucking my brother isn't the best way to reciprocate fidelity."
"I only slept with Naraku once and that was a total mistake. I was…"
"High? Yeah, drugs tend to do that to people and you slept with Naraku more then just once. Don't you think I can't hear? I mean, come on, the whole neighborhood thought you were being rape because you were so loud."
"In any case, Inuyasha doesn't need to know about this."
"In the meantime, you'll continue to play the faithful girlfriend. Don't you think he'd suspect something? I mean he can't be that blind."
"This is between us, me and Inuyasha. You stay out of it."
"Well you better hurry 'cause if you don't there won't be a you and Inuyasha for long."
