Strike 7: She is too easily injured.Well she's only human. And there isn't much danger in her time.

Strike 8: She cries too much.She's a girl.

Strike 9: She doesn't seem to care about getting the Jewel.Why should she?

Strike 10: She's the one who shattered the Jewel to begin with.No ther fault. He did tell her to shoot.

Strike 11: She allows almost anyone to journey with them.It's in her nature.

Strike 12: She seems to enjoy annoying him.He enjoys annoying her.

Strike 13: She saw him kissing Kikyo.She was bound and invisible. Not like she had a choice.

Strike 14: She woke him from the dead.Again, not her fault, she was dragged by Mistress Centipede.

Strike 15: She refused to give him the Jewel.Heis reasons for wanting it were. . .questionable at best.

Strike 16: She always gets into trouble and needs him to save her.He enjoys saving her.

Strike 17: She keeps storming off with the Jewel.She always comes back.

Strike 18: She worries about him too much.He gives her enough to worry about.

Strike 19: She takes offense at half the things he says to her.Most of the time she should.

Strike 20: She doesn't know how or when to let an argument end.Well neither does he.

Strike 21: She's a weak, foolish, human child.So was Kikyo, and fairly, he's part human as well.

Strike 22: She doesn't know much about him or his time.He doens't tell her much about either.

Strike 23: She doesn't act like Kikyo.She's herself, not Kikyo.

Strike 24: She doesn't seem to like Kikyo much.Well Kikyo stole her soul, and tried to kill him.

Strike 25: She doesn't listen to his directions.Oh, and he listens to her?

So, with all the strikes against her, why does he always wait so eagerly for her to come back?
