I’m Goin Down: Respite
Episode 7
Several days have passed and both flame cats have improved. Kyoubou still isn’t flying; but the group decides to move on. Kagome wants to go home and the others would rather rest in Kaede’s village; with one possible exception. Despite their agreement that this was not the time to pursue their personal matters, Kiri and Sango have been spending a lot of time together. Knowing now that he has been holding back in their sparring matches, Sango fights with a new vigor; constantly surprising and surpassing herself. When the time comes to go, Kiri says, “Sango, I made a request of you when we last parted, I restate that request now. Please, in the fullness of time, return to me. Give me a chance to show you who I am and how I feel. Till then, be well yourself; and your company.” With that said, he gives a nonchalant wave of his hand and the mist parts from the temple to the mountain trail; and the group departs.
