A Man And A Woman: The curse of the monk’s hand
*episode 6*

There are three centipede demons in the moonlight. As they close in on the helpless seeming mortal, she drops a heavy burden she carried over her shoulder. The demons strike as one, however, when they arrive, she is gone. Two of them hear a swishing noise. The third hears nothing as its head falls to the ground. They turn to see their companion’s body falling at the woman’s feet. She faces them, her sword gleaming in the moonlight. Not loyal by nature, the centipedes attack again still hoping to feed. There is another rush of air and one of the demons finds its innards spilling outward through a huge slit along its belly. Having learned from his brothers’ experience, the last demon turns to run. However, he is too late. The killer leaps onto its back and thrusts her sword through its heart. Feeling the demon die beneath her, Sango jumps clear and looks over her handiwork. Content with the careenage and relatively confident that she will not do the same to Miroku when she next sees him; Sango retrieves her Hiraikotsu and cleans her sword. Suddenly, she thinks she hears the lecher, “…Inuyasha…help…” Sango’s first thought is that anything happening to the monk is deserved. Her next is that if he saw fit to call for his fellow male by name, Miroku’s problem, whatever it is, will probably only make her more mad. Then she stops to remember the day they rescued Kohaku. The monk had deliberately walked into a trap to give them a chance to rescue her brother. Faced with this memory, Sango decides to go have a look. If nothing else, she can take the opportunity to crack open Miroku’s skull.
