Sango quotes from InuYasha

Inuyasha, preserve your spirit as a half-demon and inherit my power: the Adamant Barrage.

Inuyasha

Naraku, you won't escape!! Adamant...Barrage!!

Sango

He did it!

Shippo

That's really gotta hurt!

Sango

Miroku, you heard Inuyasha. Until the Sacred Jewel is gone for good, the fighting over it won't end. You know what that means.

Miroku

You're thinking about your little brother Kohaku.

Kohaku

[Thinking, as he watches the Zushi-Nezumi rats] Why let more loose? Kikyo has already come out of hiding!

[flashback] And don't close the doors.

Kohaku

[Thinking] Damn him, he's doing this for his own enjoyment! If I close these doors, the rats will stop. Even now, it may save some lives.

Kohaku

[thinking] I'm being watched. If I close the doors, Naraku will know that my memory has returned.

Sango

Kohaku!

Kohaku

Huh?!

Sango

... Don't tell me you're behind this!

Kohaku

[thinking] Sister...

Sango

Kohaku... on my way here, I saw so many villages, devoured by rats. [clenching her jaw] How I wish... that you were not a part of this...

Kohaku

[clenching his jaw as well] I can't... disobey, my orders.

Sango

[tearful and angry] Kohaku!

Miroku

Sango!

Kagome Higurashi

(concerning Miroku's past relationship with Shima, a girl he cured of sickness) And? The two of you became fast friends?

Miroku

No!

Miroku gave us the medicinal herbs, then vanished almost as suddenly as he'd appeared.

Miroku

(smirking) Hear that?! Innocent of any wrongdoings!

Except... (Miroku gulps)

Miroku

(in flashback) I hope when you are well, you will consider bearing my child, Shima.

Two things kept me going: the expensive medicinal herbs, and the promise I made to Monk Miroku! That's how I completely recovered.

Kagome

See?! You were trying to seduce her!

Sango

(sarcastically, whacking Miroku over the head repeatedly to emphasize her words) It's ok. After all, it was a thing of the past.

Kagome Higurashi

(walking behind them with Shippo and Inuyasha) I was just thinking: If he had only told her the truth sooner, none of this would have happened!

Shippo

... Just a second. Hey, Miroku! Maybe it just took you a long time to remember what was what! (Miroku and Sango both freeze)

Inuyasha

(quietly, to Shippo) That was a bull's-eye.

Sango

(grabs the collar of Miroku's robes and hoists him off the ground) Is that true? Well- is that it?

Miroku

(smiles guiltily) I don't know, it just...happened so long ago!

Kagome

Bring Shippo back safety, you guys!

Sango

We will!

Miroku

You have our word!!

Sango

He's tougher than we thought.

Miroku

Inuyasha, what are you doing here?

Inuyasha

Do me a favor: Don't ask.

Sango

He put it on Tetsusaiga?

Shippo

I get it! To make the Tetsusaiga stronger.

Shippo

(turns into a double of Miroku) Close enough for you, Miroku?

Miroku

Wow! That's fantastic; you look like me from every angle! Now, you've just gotta hang around Sango in that form, all right?

Shippo

Seriously? You mean the whole time that Inuyasha's at Kagome's house?

Miroku

Yes. (starts to walk away) I'm going to spread my wings for a bit-

Shippo

(changes back, terrified) He threatened me with his Wind Tunnel!

Sango

(scoffs) So typical.

Sango

Forgive me. I mustn't be very good company.

Miroku

(glances at her) Sango...

Sango

You don't have to stay with me, go have fun. Just- as long as it's not with another woman.

Miroku

Listen, we'll get through this together. I'm staying here with you- I can't even fathom leaving you alone to go indulge myself.

Sango

(smiles) You're so kind- my good monk.

Miroku

Uh- what are you doing?

Sango

Oh, I thought maybe you were Shippo in disguise, but- it's really you. (smiles and leans against his shoulder) I'm glad.

Shippo

(walking up behind them with Kaede, outraged) I don't believe it- she doesn't trust me?!

Kaede

No, no, 'tis the monk she does not trust, Shippo.

Miroku

Perhaps, but that's not what's troubling Sango. While their objectives may differ, we know that both Naraku and Midoriko are attempting to complete the Shikon Jewel. According to Inuyasha:

Kikyo

(flashback) When Naraku obtains the completed Shikon Jewel, it will instantly be defiled by his touch. In that instant, we must purify Naraku- along with the Jewel. He cannot be defeated with a sword.

Miroku

That is what Kikyo said to Inuyasha.

Kaede

I see. But, of course, in order to complete the Shikon Jewel, Kohaku's life would have to be sacrificed.

Sango

(looks away, sadly) And that's also what Kohaku wants.

Miroku

And... what of you, Sango? Is it also your wish that Kohaku be sacrificed?

Sango

(shakes her head) I don't know.

Kaede

Ye do not wish him dead- 'tis written all over your face, my child.

Sango

But-

Kaede

It may be a little early, yet, to give up on your brother.

Miroku

Indeed, it is. If Naraku seeks to complete the Shikon Jewel, then we must simply find a way to defeat him before that happens. Am I right?

Sango

Miroku-

Miroku

Sango, regardless of what we decide to do, we must remain united. If you want him to live, say so.

Come on, boy: out with it! What'd he do this time?

Shippo

No, it's Tetsusaiga; it hurt Inuyasha! It tried to burn him! I've never seen anything like it!

Kagome

Oh, hello again, Totosai.

Hmm. Here, let me have a look. (Inuyasha hands him Tetsusaiga, which he examines) I see it's now capable of absorbing demonic energy. So?

Inuyasha

(headbutts him) So I'm asking you what the problem is, old man!

There is nothing wrong with Tetsusaiga! (returns the sword) If there's a problem, the problem is you, Inuyasha!

Kagome

What're you talking about?

Listen carefully. Demonic energy is like a poison, of sorts. Originally, Tetsusaiga was forged from the fang of your father, who was a mighty demon. He had the capacity to absorb an infinite amount of demonic energy! However, you, who are half human, simply do not possess the power to restrain the demonic energy absorbed by your own sword! Now, then, show me your hands.

Inuyasha

Huh! What, are you gonna read my fortune or something?

(thinking) Stubborn boy! This much damage, and you still refused to let go of the sword?!

Inuyasha

The Dragon-Scaled Tetsusaiga grew hotter as it absorbed more demonic energy.

It was warning you of the danger you faced- a warning you would have been wise to heed!

Kagome

(thinking) So, Tetsusaiga never wanted to hurt Inuyasha.

Inuyasha

All right, what should I do?

Now that Tetsusaiga has become stronger, you too must become stronger to handle it!

Sango

But, how?

Miroku

It's going to take extensive training-

Inuyasha

We don't have time for any of that, and you know it!

(deadpan) That is unfortunate, but it's your fault for ignoring my warning in the first place.

Inuyasha

My fault?! I'm begging you for help, and that's all you can say?!

Well, if this is your idea of "begging", I'd hate to see what demanding looks like. Since you insist, go meet the Great Holy Demon Spirit!

Inuyasha

"Holy Demon Spirit?"

He's the demon equivalent of a wise old hermit. If you want to master the Dragon-Scale Tetsusaiga, you have no choice but to go train under him.

Thanks. The wind was picking up. So, you're Inuyasha are you? I shall train you well, my boy. At least, that's what I'd like to say, but...

Inuyasha

What?

I can't. Please leave!

Inuyasha

Bastard! (he grabs the Holy Demon Spirit and starts stretching him) Why not?! Tell me!

Kagome

Sit, boy!

Kagome

So, why can't you?

Well, it happened last night. I was preparing for my evening meditation, when a demon attacked me from behind, and made off with all of my internal organs! That's how I ended up like this.

Kagome

I see. In that case, let us help you! We just have to recover your internal organs, right?

Inuyasha

No way! I didn't sign up for that!

It's a very nice thought, but this isn't an opponent a half-demon and a bunch of humans can handle.

Inuyasha

(sarcastically) Well, excuse me for only being a half-demon, Oh wise one.

Kagome

You are not helping things!

Sango

What is it, Kirara?

Shippo

This place is crawling with demons!

Inuyasha

(draws Tetsusaiga and leaps) Huh! I'll cut every single one of 'em down!

Somebody stop that fool!

Kagome

Huh? Sit, boy!

Inuyasha

What was that for?!

Isn't it obvious, boy? Those aren't demons, they're villagers.

Inuyasha

What?

Their appearance has been altered by demonic magic. The demonic energy drifting in the air is from my missing organs!

Miroku

I thought the demon took them.

While it absorbs the energy, the demon can't move. It is likely still in the village somewhere.

Sango

So, it transformed the villagers' appearance to make them look like demons, in order to hide amongst them.

Miroku

Everyone, stand back! WIND TUNNEL!

Naraku

(angered) Damn you, Monk!

Miroku

Naraku! I will sever the ties that bind us!

Inuyasha

Miroku!

Sango

It'll kill you!

Miroku

(thinking) I may never get another chance to destroy him!

Sango

Please, you have to stop! Stop before it's too late!

Miroku

I can't do that!

Naraku

(smiles) The miasma's toxins will kill you before you can suck me in!

Miroku

(thinking) That would frighten me if I were only doing this for myself, but I'm not! I'm doing this for Sango, and Kohaku too!

Shippo

No- Miroku!

Miroku

If I can just hold it a bit longer! (his hand darkens and he begins to bleed from the eyes and mouth) Arggh!

Sango

Miroku!

Kagome

It's killing him!

Inuyasha

Miroku!

Naraku

(enraged) Curse you, Monk! You won't have my heart!

Miroku

Let go! You've already lost!

Kagome

He sucked in the Fuyoheki!

Shippo

(clinging to his leg) No! I don't want you to die!

Inuyasha

Miroku! (he grabs Miroku's arm and seals the Wind Tunnel as Miroku falls) That's enough.

Naraku

I see you're as naive as ever, Inuyasha. If you hadn't stopped him, he would have sucked in my heart. (envelops himself in a whirlwind of miasma) He had the perfect opportunity to destroy me, and you stopped him. For that, I thank you. (vanishes)

Koga

He- he got away!

Sango

(runs up to them) Miroku! Oh, no!

Miroku

(weakly) Sango... forgive me...

Kagome

(thinking) Miroku did it for Sango- that's why he wouldn't close the Wind Tunnel! He knew if he could destroy Naraku, Kikyo wouldn't have to use Kohaku's shard.

Kikyo

(examining Miroku's arm) The wounds from the miasma extend down his right arm... (she pulls his robe back to reveal scars on his chest) like the legs of a spider. If the Wind Tunnel had remained open even a minute more, he would not have survived it.

Sango

Will he make it?

Kikyo

I'll attempt to purify him. But you must understand: a body that's taken in that much miasma is unlikely to ever be fully restored.

Kagome

Please, try!

Inuyasha

Help him, Kikyo.

Kikyo

If I can transfer the miasma that's in him to me, then I can use my body to cleanse it.

Sango

But won't that hurt you?

Kohaku

(thinking) Yes. Her body is already being consumed by Naraku's miasma... but she'll remain silent.

Sango

It's strange, that on the one hand, you'd risk your life to save him, and yet-

Kikyo

And yet, I'd lead your brother Kohaku to his death. Is that what you wanted to say? (Sango looks startled) If someone can be saved, I'll try to save them. That is all I can do.

Miroku

... I had the chance to destroy Naraku. If I had done it, things wouldn't have ended up this way.

Sango

Miroku...

Miroku

But I didn't do it. (clenches his fist) I was so afraid for my own life, that I hesitated to open the Wind Tunnel! That woman saved my life, she needed my help, and I just-

Sango

(grabs his hand) That's not true. I think Kikyo knew what was going to happen, and she wanted you to survive for my sake.

Miroku

Sango...

Sango

I thought I despised Kikyo. All I knew, was that she was willing to sacrifice my brother and his shard to defeat Naraku. His life didn't seem to matter to her. (tearfully) However, when I saw her try to save Koga, I realized I was wrong about her. Kikyo was fighting to protect Kohaku's life- she'd been fighting to protect all of us!

Koga

(thinking) Well, my Jewel Shards are gone... but I'm still alive. Was that your plan for me, Kikyo?

Kagome

(crying) It didn't work! I thought I could save her, but I couldn't do anything! It took me too long- I had too much doubt- I couldn't get back in time to save her! Poor Kikyo...

Koga

(staring at Kikyo and Inuyasha) Damn that Naraku. He kept telling her that she would never see Inuyasha again, but... he made it in time.
