Chapter 8: Sneaky

As soon as Inuyasha left the cafeteria, Sango stares at Miroku seriously. "Why are you giving me that look?" Miroku asks her a bit intimidated by her stare. Sango pulls out her phone from her purse. "You know that this is a private topic." She tries to make him understand it. "What are you trying to do here?" Miroku asks her suspiciously. Sango taps her phone and fiddles around with it. "I'm hacking into the school's database." She answers it obviously.

Miroku widens his eyes. "Are you out of your mind?" He silently yells at her. "Hey I'm doing Kagome a favor here. You know how scared she is whenever that Koga douchebag is around." She reminds him as she taps onto a page onto the phone's screen. "What are you doing though?" Miroku asks her more specifically. "I'm going to change Koga's schedule so he doesn't have to be in any of Kagome's classes." Sango explains to him.

"Are you out of your mind? You're not supposed to mess around with the school's database at all." Miroku snatches Sango's phone out of her hand. "Hey." Sango tries her best to get it back from Miroku's possession. "I can't have you get into trouble with the faculty." He seriously tells as he puts it in his jacket pocket and zips it closed. "Besides, you've been through a lot of trouble in the last year. You should be grateful they let you passed despite your actions." Suddenly the bell rings to get their quarrel to a halt for now.

Sango pouts knowing that without her phone, she lost her attachment to everything else. She just mumbles as she makes her way to her next class. As she enters, she spots Kagome in her seat. "Hey." Kagome waves to her. Sango sits in her desk next to her. "You okay?" Kagome can see a look of anger. "Miroku took my phone." Sango answers immediately. Kagome didn't see that coming. "Really? I thought that if we were caught with our phones out in class, the teacher confiscates them." She tells her in surprise. "And Miroku is no teacher. He just took it right out of my hand." Sango pouts with her arms crossed. "Well at least he doesn't know the password to get into it." Kagome tries to cheer her up.

Sango gives her a look of guilty. "No…" Kagome shakes her head slowly and is now more surprised than before. "Guilty as charged. And there's no telling what he's going to do with it at this point." She looks at Kagome with shame.

Somewhere else in a different classroom, Miroku is messing with Sango's phone. "What are you doing with Sango's phone?" Inuyasha asks him as he sits in his desk next to Miroku. "Sango was trying to hack into the school's database." Miroku answers the question to him. "Why would she do that? We both how much of a rebel she is sometimes." Inuyasha asks him as leans back in his seat. "Because she wants to change Koga's schedule so they he won't be in any of Kagome's classes." Miroku explains to him.

Inuyasha shakes his head. "Miroku, Sango is just looking out for her. We just don't want her to get the wrong idea about two students' schedule. Besides it's the beginning of the year. It's going to be a few weeks until the next semester to see what electives are best suited for each one. For now, we just need to be there for Kagome." Miroku nods. "True. When we see Sango again, I'll give her phone back." He admits defeat.

At the end of the day, Kagome gets to her locker to see what she needs to swap books. "Kagome." A familiar voice freezes her in her track. 'Oh no.' She only thought to herself. "What do you want?" She asks Koga. "Why are you avoiding me?" Koga asks her instead. "I'm not avoiding you. I'm just keeping my distance." Kagome calmly replies as she closes her locker and turns around to walk away. Koga grabs hold of her wrist. "Let me explain." He said to her. "Let go of my wrist, Koga." She demands as she tries to yank her hand free.

"Could you at least listen to me?" Koga is begging more seriously this time. "I won't." Kagome refuses as she tries to yank her wrist free with all of her strength. "Hey you." Sango voice shouts to him. "She told you to let her go." Sango glares at him. Koga finally releases Kagome's wrist. "Now you listen to me, buster. If you ever come near her again, I will make your life a living hell." She warns him. But Koga doesn't seem to be fazed by it.

"Oh if that's what this is, then you're sadly mistaken." He cockily resorts her. "You're going to have to do better than that to scare me." Sango remains as calm "You have no idea who you're dealing with." She chuckles as she swiftly gets behind him as quickly as she could until hits Koga at the back of the neck and slams her hand's side so hard that it knocks him out. Kagome didn't expect. "Come on." Sango grabs Kagome's wrist and takes her out of the building.

Sango and Kagome made it until the bus where Inuyasha and Miroku are waiting for them. "What happened?" Inuyasha as he noticed Kagome's eyes are full of fear. "Let's just say a particular person is after her." Sango answers as she and Kagome in their seats on the bus. "Koga?" Inuyasha assumes. Sango nods. "What did you do to him, Sango. I can tell that you are proud of something." Miroku leans near her. Sango leans back, "I just knocked him out nothing more." She smirks about her stunt.

Just hearing that made Miroku groans. "What's wrong with that? She was defending me." Kagome is confused. "You should know that what Sango did was against the rules." Miroku shakes his head. "For her to knock out a student." Inuyasha speaks this time. "It's not like there are cameras all over the school." Kagome comments. But from the looks she's getting from the guys. "No…" She is hardly believing this. "And because of her stunt, she's going to be in trouble. The faculty are most definitely going to call her dad and tell him what she did." Miroku explains to her. But then something else crossed Kagome's mind. "Not just Sango. No offense. But also Koga. For what he tried to do to me is going to be in trouble."

"She has a point. Koga's parents are going to be notified about his stunt." Sango hits her fist onto her other hand that was opened. "Oh and none taken." But she sees Kagome with frown. "Please don't tell me." Kagome smirks in the end. "Oh it's going to be worse on Koga's part. You see he's from a tribe so the only one who will be informed is the chief who happens to be his fiancé's grandfather." Inuyasha blinks his eyes. "He has a fiancé?" He asks her. "When I found out when we were dating, I had to break up with him. But he didn't take it lightly. I had to do whatever I could to stay away from him from now on."

The bus arrives at their stop. As they walk down their street, Sango noticed her father's car in the driveway. "I'll see you guys later. I need to be disciplined for my actions." She runs off. Miroku shakes his head. "I don't know why I'm so attracted to her." He asks himself. "Because of her life. And I respect that." Inuyasha comments to him. "Exactly. See ya." Miroku goes into his house. Kagome notices that her mother's car is gone. Then again she told Kagome that she had to go to work. "I might as well get a few things unpack." Kagome goes inside.

Inuyasha gets into his house. "I'm home." He calls out to his mother. "Welcome home, Inuyasha." Izayoi greets him. "So how was your day?" She asks him as he gets something to drink from the fridge. "Not much. Other than Sango getting into trouble again." Inuyasha answers casually. "Oh no. What did she do this time?" Izayoi said calmly. As far as she knows, she knows about Sango being a rebel every other time. "She knocked out a guy who wouldn't let go of Kagome's wrist." Izayoi ahs at that. "That again. I'm relieved that Kagome's okay." Inuyasha sits down on the couch. "She is, for now. There's going to be a point in time that Kagome is going to have to stand up for herself." He explains.

"I'm confident that Kagome will be able to look after herself." Izayoi comments about Kagome. "True. But I was able to get some juicy secrets about Koga." Inuyasha grins to her. "Oh like what?" Izayoi mimics his grin. "I found out that Koga is actually engaged to a girl from his tribe." Izayoi laughs. "You're kidding." She calms down.

"Nope. And he was cheating on his fiancé when he was dating Kagome. Kagome found that out and broke up with him and had to stay away from him since." Izayoi chuckles. "Looks like Kagome has guts to stand up to him." She comments to him, "No doubt about it. Koga is way too dense and foolish to notice it. He's been after her ever since. I think Sango had to do it the hard way to get her point across." Inuyasha finishes his drink. "I'll be upstairs doing my homework." Izayoi nods back. "Ok dear."
