It happens when Miroku yet again hits on a young girl that resides in the village they're currently staying in. She storms off on her own while Miroku nurses his cheek, looking sheepish.

She would've kept up her grudge for more than an hour except, after she left Miroku and the others to stew on her own, she encounters a handful of demons on the outskirts, looking for the Shikon jewels.

She takes out two of them but there are more and they overpower her. She thinks she's a goner when a strong whirlwind sweeps them up and they disappear through Miroku's wind tunnel.

Miroku runs over to her and hugs her and she feels shocked at his display of concern that all she can do is kiss him. He looks surprised for a moment before he smiles.

It's a vicious cycle between them: Miroku will always be hitting on all the girls because he's so invested in producing an offspring and Sango doesn't want to be just that girl for him; she wants to be more for him than someone who will be able to provide children for him. But she can't help liking him either. It's a constant struggle going on within her; she always wants to beat him bloody but also to kiss all his wounds. She doesn't know what to do.
