Author's Rant:
Konnichiwa! Konnichiwa! Konnichiwa! I just decided to try out this pairing, since my stupid twin was insisting I do something of this pairing. Hai, minna. This is Sango and Miroku. Of course, I find them really cute together! I think they are meant for each other! But... As far as I am concerned, I haven't tried anything of this. Since I was bored to death waiting for reviews from my other story "Three to Tango", which my idiotic twin posted in the Inu-Yasha category, not the Slam Dunk [I got her tied up for that!] I decided to give in to her desires - I SHOULD write an S/M fic. Please take this easy on me!
I thank again those who reviewed. You don't know how much it means to me! *sobs*

Pin-up: Gomen, this has been delayed for a long time! Actually I was thinking of not finishing this fic, cause I think I'm losing inspiration already. I now don't know how to end this... And I'm having difficulty in time management, running around, greeting my officers, posting flyers all around the campus, being extra friendly and [get this] smiling at everyone... I don't even have the time to study my tests, and I already failed one! *whines* So please, tell me what you think about this chapter and review!
Teach Me How To Love
by Shohoku no Miko
Chapter Seven: Nana
Sitting across the fire [and Sango, to say the least], Miroku sighed. He held his shakujo tighter, trying not to fall asleep as the hanyou and the miko were sleeping. It wasn't his shift, but still... He couldn't just leave everything to Sango when she is struggling to not fall asleep, too.
But it seems that to her, what he was doing is keeping watch over her, and looking for an opportunity to grope her.
He sighed, again, this time more audible. Why won't she trust her now?
"Houshi-sama..." Sango began.
A pregnant pause.
"Gomen nasai!" They both exclaimed at the same time, and they chuckled together.
Miroku stopped laughing, and stared at Sango. She was still laughing at their silliness. But she looked so... great. And her eyes, they were dancing, and full of soul... Something he didn't notice earlier.
"Ano... Houshi-sama..." Sango stopped. "Can I ask a question...?"
"Why of course."
"Well... Nandemonai. Kinishinai desu."
"What, may I ask, is bothering our taiji-ya now? You know well I could see it." Miroku countered.
"Actually, Houshi-sama... I was thinking of... of your ways... You haven't really finished teaching me, ne? I mean, I still don't know how to write on an ofuda or chant any prayer that you know..." Sango breathed, this time much easier.
"Oh, I almost forgot. Now let's see..." Miroku stopped to think. "Ah, yes, Four Noble Truths."
Sango raised an inqusitive eyebrow.
"The Four Noble Truths were the core of Buddha's enlightenment, as he realized these four things. First: Life is a suffering. All that we are going through in this life are all sufferings, and even death cannot escape suffering. For when you die, they believe that the soul of the departed will then be reincarnated, and be transferred to a higher being if he has done good in his life, and to a lower being if he has been a terrible person."
Sango nodded in apprehension. True, that life is indeed, a suffering itself.
"Second: All suffering is caused by ignorance of the nature of reality and the craving, attachment and grasping that arise from such ignorance. If you are not knowledgable enough of things in this life, we humans tend to do something to lure oursleves in danger, because of merely not knowing. So in everything we do, we must decide correctly, so as not to fall for sin."
Sango scooted to his side, showing interest in what he was teaching. "And the third one?" She said as she sat down.
Miroku smiled, knowing that she was really listening to him. And the enthusiasm in her eyes, it was irresistible. Blinking and looking away, he continued. "The third one. Suffering can be ended by overcoming ignorance and attachment. We have to learn some things in life in order to avoid being too absorbed in wordly matters. And the last one, the path to suppression of suffering is the Noble Eightfold Path."
"Eightfold Path?" Sango inquired.
"Yes. This Eightfold Path is subdivided into three, which are the cornerstones of Buddhist faith: Morality, Meditation, and Wisdom. These eight are..."
"You mean I have to follow all of it?" Sango butted in.
"Why, yes. You have to follow all of it in order to achieve Nirvana." Miroku answered, doubting his own words. He swallowed, trying hard to keep his composure.
"Mirdona? WHat's that?"
"It's Nirvana. The attainment of enlightenment and freeing of the spiritual self from attachment to worldly things, ending the cycle of birth and rebirth."
"Oh."
"Now the eightfold path. First, right views, or belief in the Four Noble truths. Then, right intention, the choice to practice Buddhism; right speech, keeping ourselves from foul and harsh words; right action, avoiding improper acts; right-"
Sango cut him off. "Avoiding improper acts?" Sango echoed.
Sweat started to form on Miroku's temples. "Y-Yes."
"Meaning... Not to do immoral acts like... groping... and copping... a... feel..." Sango's eyes suddenly burned with fury as she felt a hand on her... breasts...
"HOUSHI-SAMA... SUKEBE!!!"
A very nice hand was imprinted on his left cheek, stinging with pain.
Fuming, Sango's eyes darted from Miroku to the shuffling of Kagome. She sat down abruptly, lowering her voice. "You just said that you have to do right actions! What was that all about?"
"Demo... I was just trying to wake you up so you won't fall asleep!" Miroku reasoned as he rubbed his red cheek.
"Houshi-sama! I can't believe you are disobeying your eightfold path! you just said 'right intention', and then you go telling me that!
"Demo..." Miroku tried to speak up, but Sango stopped him by putting a hand on over his mouth.
"Sssshhhh! Kagome and Inu-Yasha might wake up! You know what it is when the hanyou wakes up without enough sleep!" Sango reprimanded.
Miroku nodded, and removed her hand from his mouth. "Now, as I was saying, the fifth fold is right livelihood, or avoiding indecent occupations; right effort, shunning bad things; right-mindedness or self awareness and lastly, right contemplation or meditation."
Inu-Yasha suddenly jumped down the tree, landing on his two feet.
This took both Miroku and Sango in surprise. "Inu-Yasha!" Sango exclaimed as Inu-Yasha started to unsheath his Tetsusaiga.
"I smell a youkai..." Inu-Yasha muttered.
Sango stood up and grabbed her Hiraikotsu, as Miroku stood up and prepared himself for a fight.
Kirara's head shot up, and the feline stood, waking up both Kagome and Shippou. The feline transformed into the scary demon, and they all prepared for an attack.
Out of nowhere, a black figure began to head towards the Sengoku Jidai gang, and straight on Sango's back.
Kagome shouted. "Sango! Behind you!"
Sango turned and saw the face of the youkai...
"Houshi...sama...?" She uttered before the youkai hit her on her gut and she lost consciousness.
The youkai grabbed her and jumped out of their encampment.
Inu-Yasha followed closely, but the youkai was too fast.
"Inu-Yasha! The youkai has Shikon shards on both his legs!" Kagome shouted.
"Hayai..." Inu-Yasha smirked as he ran faster, carrying Kagome on his back.
"Iku yo, Kirara!" Miroku jumped onto Kirara and they flew to catch up with the youkai to get Sango back. 'Hold on, Sango...'
Author's Rant:
Gomen, gomen and another GOMEN! I have been really busy lately, and as of now I'm depressed, so I haven't really had any inspiration about this. Thanks to those who reviewed, and I want to grant a wish of some reviewers.
Vocabulary:
Houshi-sama - apparently this is how Sango addresses Miroku, and it means low rank priest
shakujo - th staff with clinking rings that Miroku always carries with him
Ano - a sort of "ummm..." [hehehe] that's what I know
Nandemonai - nothing
Kinishinai desu - never mind it, don't mind it
Taiji-ya - translated roughly, taiji means exterminate, and I can't seem to search for the meaning of ya so I suppose it means demon exterminator
Ofuda - the cute little paper with fuzzy characters written on it, one of Miroku's weapons
Sukebe - lecherous, lewd, licentious, lascivious, lustful... anyway you want to call it
Demo - but
Youkai - obviously, demon
Tetsusaiga - the rusty old sword of Inu-Yasha that all of a sudden transforms into a big one
Hiraikotsu - the H-u-g-e boomerang
Sengoku Jidai gang - Sengoku Jidai literally means "Age of Warring States" and when we say gang, well, practically they are the only ones here who form a group of people, right?
Hayai - if my dictionary is right, it means fast
Iku yo - Let's go!
Hope I made things clear here now... Thanks again to those who read [even if you are evil enough to not make a review... hehehehe] And I hope you bear with me if I don't update soon, I'll be taking my finals ahead of everyone in our batch and I have to review at once! Gomen for all the wrong things spelled and grammar here! Ja!
