"Bone…Boomerang!" cried Sango, heaving her weapon at the target, and missing. The demon slayer hissed in annoyance; if that had been a demon, she would've been dead by now. "Stupid… Miroku…" she grunted, trying to pull the boomerang out of the tree it had hit. "Always on the prowl." Another stab of irritation hit Sango. Her traveling companion had taken off to "cleanse" a village of an "evil spirit." Sango knew by now that meant "going to look for pretty girls to hit on". "Who does he think he is?" she snarled under her breath, slinging her boomerang over her back.
She couldn't decide who was worse off: her, in love with a lecherous, cheating monk, or Kagome, who did everything for Inuyasha, only to watch him pine over Kikyo. Sango looked up at the sky, watching the clouds move. Maybe…I should go, she thought. This pain…it wasn't worth it. He wasn't worth it. However, the brunette's thoughts were interrupted by a wheezy, childlike voice.
"Sango! Sango!" Shippo cried, dashing into the clearing. "Come quick!" "What's the matter?" the slayer asked urgently. "It's Kagome and Inuyasha! They're fighting and…" As soon as the words Inuyasha and Kagome left Shippo's mouth, Sango knew the problem. The half-demon and the priestess were forever getting into stupid fights. "Did something happen with Koga?" asked Sango, referring to the wolf demon that lusted after Kagome, and also sent Inuyasha into a jealous rage.
"No. It's about…" Shippo lowered his voice. "…Kikyo." Sango inhaled sharply. To say that Kikyo was a "touchy" subject to Inuyasha would be an understatement. "Let's go," was all Sango said to the young fox demon.
"Kikyo! Kikyo, Kikyo, Kikyo. And the Shikon Jewel! That's all you ever think about!"
Kagome's accusation rang in the air, puncturing the previous moody silence.
"What's it to you? Why do you even care?"
Inuyasha's snarl slashed at Kagome more than his claws could have.
"Why do I care? WHY DO I CARE? YOU SPOILED, CHILDISH, ARROGANT…"
Insults spewed uncharacteristically from Kagome's mouth.
Then, she dropped the bomb.
"I'm. Going. HOME."
Inuyasha gasped.
"You…you can't do that."
"Watch me."
