Quotes | However…you want to protect Kagome. And that’s why you want power. But when you use the Jewel’s power to become a demon, you may just end up devouring Shippo and Kagome. Me, too?! What about you, Miroku? I would have run away long before that. —In any case, regardless of how a woman looks, if she's basically made from Naraku, I'm not interested. —But I made the decision to live with this curse as my strength. One human taking on demons with the Wind Tunnel. This Wind Tunnel is a weapon given to me. That's what I decided. —I believe that’s all you want to say… I’m going. This talk is not over yet! If, by the time this battle is over… and the curse to my Wind Tunnel gets lifted… And if I’m still alive… When that time comes, will you spend your life with me? And perhaps bear my children? —Will you do me the favor of bearing my child? —Don’t take it then! And don’t you get gratuities after you do something?! After the fact, they usually give less. You amaze me! You dirty priest! I am a monk. —(referring to Water Goddess) So… beautiful… but… you are so tiny… I couldn't even if I wanted to… Wanted to what?! Nothing. All is vanity. —You know the saying, 'A lie is sometimes expedient.' —No one can replace you, Kohaku. Sister... Kohaku... Even you didn't understand how lonely she was, Miroku. I'll say it myself. No one can replace me either. —Priest, I… How great. I still have Sango as my companion. —I got the feeling it’s even more dangerous here. —on being alone with Miroku —
I thought the Wind Tunnel was Miroku's only legitimate weapon, but he has spiritual powers! —It's fine, it's something from the past, right? —He’s [Miroku] probably gonna tell ‘em that there’s an ominous cloud over the mansion again. — |
