Part Two

Strikes Against Him

Strike 1: He's stubborn. It's in his nature.

Strike 2: He's rude.And again, in his nature.

Strike 3: He tells her too little about himself and his time.She never askes him to.

Strike 4: He still thinks of her as Kikyo sometimes.They look alike, and she does have Kikyo's soul.

Strike 5: He swears too much.Most people in the fuedal era do.

Strike 6: He enjoys beating on poor little Shippo.Sometimes the Kitsune does deserve it.

Strike 7: He care more about the Jewel than he does about her.That may or may not still be true.

Strike 8: He blames her for shattering the Jewel.That was her fault/\.

Strike 9: He kissed Kikyo.He was in love with her.

Strike 10: He's part demon.That's not his fault.

Strike 11: He tricked her into freeing him.They both would have died if she hadn't.

Strike 12: He always says his injuries aren't bad, even when they are.It's in his nature.

Strike 13: He insults her almost every chance he gets.He insults almost everyone.

Strike 14: He doesn't know how or when to drop a conversation.Neither does she.

Strike 15: He doesn't know much about her or her time.Well she doesn't tell him, either.

Strike 16: He considers being part human a weakness.That's just stupid.

Strike 17: He wants to become a full demon like his brother.Well becoming human didn't go so well

Strike 18: He shows very little respect for anyone.He is part demon.

Strike 19: He doesn't listen to her instructions.And she listens to his?

Strike 20: He's dragged her away from her time more than once.He's anxious to find the Jewel.

Strike 21: He's spied on her before.It's not like she was hiding.

Strike 22: He has almost no regard for his own safety.He's very hard to kill.

Strike 23: He doesn't let her help him when he nees help.He's used to doing things on his own.

Strike 24: He has almost no social skills.He hasn't spent an awful lot of time around people.

Strike 25: He's dangerous to be around.There's danger almost everywhere.

So, with all the strikes against him, why does she always go back?
