Shima:(after the house starts shaking) Miroku, I'm so scared! (Sango is surrounded by "flames" because she is angry) Miroku: (thinking) I'm scared too, but for a whole different reason!
Sango: (thinking) Drop dead, idiot! Miroku: (to himself) It was as though her eyes were saying to me, "Drop dead, idiot".
