Disclaimer- I don't own Inuyasha.
The next day when I got to school, Sango was waiting by my locker as she usually does, but today she didn't seem so happy.
"What's wrong Sango?" I asked as I did my combination.
"Miroku and I got in a fight yesterday and we broke up," she said sadly.
"What happened?"
"He was groping and flirting with other women so I told him it was over, and that I was tired of it."
"I'm so sorry Sango," I told her as I hugged her tightly.
"That's alright; I don't think Miroku and I were ever really meant to be anyway."
"Don't say that. You and Miroku are always together and always make each other laugh; what makes you think you aren't supposed to be together?" I asked concerned.
"It's just that he is also being pervert, and never sticks to one girl. Some people like that, but I for one don't," she explained.
"You got to give him credit though; he has changed a lot for you compared to how he used to be."
"Well yeah, but if he can't stop flirting with ever girl he comes in contact with, then I don't think I can even stand to look at him."
"No who's over reacting?" I smirked.
"This isn't funny."
"Fine," I said.
Just then the bell rang and we both walked to first period. When we got in there, Sango walked to the teacher and asked him to give her a seat change after explaining that she can't be around him. He changed her seat to one further back and I was left with an empty seat beside me and two idiots behind me.
I looked back at Sango and she gave me an apologetic smile. I smiled weakly back and focused on my work, hoping the period would end soon.
It was about half way through the day and the bell just rang for lunch. I told Sango that I would meet her there and went off to find Inuyasha. Luckily I didn't have to look far because he was at his locker with the rest of the popular guys. I walked up to them and they parted as I approached Inuyasha.
"I need to talk to you," I stated.
"I don't talk to fun-suckers," he said looking directly at me.
"I don't talk to stuck up losers either, but we all have to make sacrifices don't we," I countered as could basically hear the smiles on the guys' faces.
"I'll catch up with you guys later," Inuyasha said to the guys, leaving us alone in the deserted hallway.
"I need your help," I told him reluctantly.
He chuckled before he saw that I was serious.
"You need my help?" he questioned.
"Yes. Sango and Miroku broke up yesterday and I need you to help me get them back together."
"They'll get back together on their own just like they always do. "
"You sure?" I asked holding up the necklace that Miroku gave Sango when they first stated going out.
"Why do you have that?"
"Sango told me to give it back to Miroku. She hasn't taken it off since they first started going out. Now it's symbolic."
"And what makes you think I will help you?"
I smirked.
"Because if we get them together, they will stop trying to get us together because they'll owe us," I pointed out.
He was silent for a minute, considering his options.
"Fine," he said after a while.
"I'll meet you after school then."
And with that I left to go meet up with Sango, Inuyasha following slowly behind, for he was going to the same place I was.
"Where were you?" Sango asked when I finally got to the cafeteria.
She had moved our table, probably because it was right next to the guys' table.
"I had to see someone about something," I replied.
"Could you be anymore vague?" she asked sarcastically as we began eating out lunch.
It was now the end of the day. The final bell had just rung and all the kids rushed out of the class room, eager to get home. I picked up my stuff and headed for the door when I was stopped by the teacher who had just called my name.
"Yeah," I responded.
"Since you are pulling all A's in this class, I need you to tutor one of my less gifted student. If you do this, you will get a pass to get out of two of your finals for any class you are taking this year."
I didn't have to even think. The finals are the longest and hardest test of the year, and if you do badly, it affects your final grade drastically. I told him yes but soon regretted it when he told me who I was tutoring.
"You'll be tutoring Inuyasha," he told me.
My jaw dropped. I hadn't even thought that he would be the one I would tutor.
"You'll have to talk to him to see when he is available to decide which days you'll be tutoring him though."
With that said he shooed me out the door. I went to my locker with less enthusiasm than ever. Once I put my books in and closed my locker, I exited the school to find Inuyasha waiting for me. I almost forgot that we were going to make a plan to get Sango and Miroku back together after school.
"I have wonderful news," I told him sarcastically.
"What?"
"I'm your new tutor."
His jaw dropped just like mine had only minutes ago.
"Why? I don't need a tutor," he said defensively.
"Don't ask me, go talk to the principal; he's in charge of the tutoring program."
"I rather have you as a tutor than ever go in to his office willingly."
I laughed. This is the first time in forever that he had made me laugh. The first time since we were kids.
"So what days do you want me to help you?"
"None?" he suggested.
"Ha ha, very funny," I replied.
"How about Tuesdays and Fridays?" he tried again.
"That sounds good. And since I have to go, we can talk about getting the two lovebirds back together tomorrow."
He nodded and we started walking in the opposite direction, both heading towards home.
